I have managed to root the S5839i after doing some research, but I can't seem to find any mention of how to install CMW on this version of the phone, and there doesn't seem to be any ROMs available, could someone help me with this please?
Did you READ the forums?
If you had, it would have been pretty clear to you that there is practically no development for the device. Its just beginning!
Don't be a noob. Be a newbie..!!
Details here.
Yes I looked all over the forums, hence asking the question? Why else would I post it? I thought there might be at least one custom rom out there, but thanks for confirming there is little to no development.

Hi There!
I believe that in order to load these ROMs in this thread, you need to "root" the phone, but I don't see a sticky that explains how to do it?
Also is it like with Windows Mobile phones that you need a separate radio rom to the OS ROM?
Thanks in advance for any advice?
I take it the official update for Froyo for the i9000 isn't released yet? Is this something that happens automatically over the air or you need to initiate it?
Why so sucky thread title?
What do you mean? No roms in this thread ;p
Btw most ROMs in this subforum are already rooted and while ur current ROM is overwritten (being either rooted or not) in the flashing process... Ur device becomes rooted after flashing most of them. For more detailed information go to ROM's threads.
Root is kernel-related thing, so I dont get ur point.

Hi There!
I may be using the wrong terminology, I am looking for flash proedures for the ROM's in this forum. I thought the process of applying those roms required you to root the phone before use (like hardspl for winmo roms).
I am looking for the step by step guide to applying the ROMS's listed here?
Refer to each rom's thread.
Full stock leaked firmwares come in .tar packages, flashed by Odin.
Mods and custom roms might be flashed by Odin, or update.zip method.
I believe there was some BIG FAT FAQ in this subforum?

You forgot to read the stickies... There's this one: STOP!! Before You Post, Read This NOW!! and in that you see this:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.

Now you see the general section? If you go there you'll find this sticky: [REF] BIG FAQ! {Flash/Root HOWTO} {ADB&Tutorials} {T&T} {FW-Guide} [MUST READ!] Which has everything you need.
Thanks. To be honest it makes no sense to me to have something about flashing ROMS in the general forum, at a minimum I think it should be in both places.
First of all, hello. I am basically a very, VERY huge newbie that just bought an Samsung Galaxy S I9000B and I would like to start to understand specific terms used in this forums (for example, XXJBA ROM, rooting). Can anyone give me a starting guide about this ? I intend to update my phone to android 2.3.3 but I don't know if it's possible (it is a customized one from a Brazilian Carrier called VIVO and if possible I want to remove everything). So I don't know even where to start. Any guides, specific threads, advices, tips, anything to start ?
Thank you,
Amid
Download an app from the market called 'root and me'. It's a great guide for beginners

Okay, thanks. Let me read all those threads and guides than I will be back for more. Thank you again.
BTW, not wanting to rush things but very curious: will I be able to update my phone I9000B to Android 2.3.3 ? Will the B in the end of the model destroy my hopes ? Just a quick answer, don't need to detail it at this point.
Hello again,
I've read the suggested threads and some other material, included the root and me app information. Now I know that the first step to clean my SGS is to root it. The application don't exactly specify which method should I use: SuperOneClick or Z4root. I understand the SuperOneClick is the old method, more dangerous and Z4Root is a new app that does the job but required USB debugging or something like that. So here is the next question (this way, I will be able to create a stick for all newbies, just by tracing my steps): Which method should I use ? Repeating myself, I have a Samsung Galaxy S, Model Number: GT-I9000B, Firmware version 2.2, Vivo Carrier (from Brazil), Baseband Version I9000BBVJJPD, Build number FROYO.VJJPD.
Thank you very much again.

Hi again guys,
No answer yet ? Really ? Am I doing something wrong ? Am I in the wrong forum (I was directed to this forum from androidz.com.br) ? I've tried to find the answers searching other topics but the search function is not very useful in forums. Also, there is no sticky here to help newbies.
The reason I was asking here is because I can't find answers in other places. I don't dare to simply trial and error, which is what I normally do when I have multiple choices, because I am afraid of bricking my phone; It's not that I am lazy to look for answer in other places; I simply can't find them.
Can someone help a newbie or at least point me to an updated guide ?
Thank you very much,
Amid
ok, I do have my nice new samsung rooted, but some functionality can only be done via other rom's etc. Rooting my evo and custom rom's etc is not new for me but I don't want to mess up as clockwork backup didn't work so I needed to re-read and understand but the forum has always helped so well, I would continue the tradition.
With that I am looking at this thread;
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-samsung-galaxy-tab/
Now the only issue I have is this step (Extract Galaxy Tab root files.zip to find two files named, gt-p1000_mr.pit and dbdata.tar.) as the problem is this is the newer p1010, so will that be a problem? I have yet to make a full backup as I said clockwork doesn't work with this tab, so a little hesitant to just do that.
I don't really care if it's 2.3.3 or better yet overcome, but have yet to find a simple 'how-to' with the p1010 tablet. This is a wireless only device, so no carrier.
My first post helped with some things regarding this device, but things like 'the dev forum can answer' is not an accurate statement at all which is why the post is being put in the 'general Q&A'.
Thanks for all real help and replies!
Hi everyone. this gonna be my first post here ever on xda.
i dont really post much because i always found procedures on how to's on devices i wanna flash or root and what not.
but now i am in a standstill, my sister has a korean s3. i have been looking for custom roms as it is locked and cant use another sim card and wont let me use the lte. the korean stuff is also annoying.
i would just like to ask how to install these roms. i really need help. if you know how to install the miui rom. please kindly do so
ps. please dont give me links to the s210l thread because i have read all of it and non give flashing guides. it all downloads and stuff. i want what you did and your procedures.

Hello,
I can put my GT I8200N rooting, that succeeds, but the rest I can not because I do not know what I need and what I should do.
I want a new Rom on my fone.
which actually combines I need? and how i do it?
Someone sugesties?
thank you
i suggest u do a little searching around the forum, there are good tutorials available. each rom has different attributes so it is better to find one that suits your everyday needs, best rom questions are not allowed. so, (quick guide) find a rom u like, d/l & install twrp 2.4 or above, do full backup,follow installation instructions for rom.....carefully......dont want your 2nd post to be "how do i unbrick my fone".....lol
Thanks for your comment, but that's the problem, my english is not so good that I understand everything, because it goes through the translator of google.
But will look around, I had already done, and did not come out.
Hence, the question.
