[Q] SGS screen error after update to Gingerbread

After flashing gingerbread 2.3.3XWJVH deodexed to my SGS using this guide
*Cannot be shown, first post :/*
My problem is that at boot and right before the home screen displays the device shows a distorted assortment of colours, different everytime.
Anybody have any ideas of the cause / solution?
Cheers guys.

You need updated bootloader for Gingerbread firmware.

Intratech is correct, download a gingerbread rom with bootloaders included, flash through odin with repartition and update bootloader both ticked

Can this have to be done via the same method I used before? (ODIN)
Or can it be done as an addition step? I have a sneaking suspicion it's the prior.
Thanks for the quick reply by the way.
EDIT: Answered before I even posted, you guys are so quick you are in the future.
One more thing, could you link me to the files needed to ensure the gingerbread update is pre rooted, as this one was?
Also, I just read that in it's current state my phone can't go into recovery mode, does that mean that if this next update goes wrong, I'm screwed?

No need to repartition, just get rom with bootloader. Same as before with Odin, the firmware will include the bootloader.

Thank you for your help, all sorted now. All I need to find now is a way to root this and install CWM to it.
I know it's rather unrelated and I shall seek out/ make a new threat if I can't get an answer here, but would you recommend the installation of the ported TouchWiz 4 update.zip at the moment?

Go to the dev section and look for the CF-Root thread, it will root and install CWM to your phone. TW4 is a major improvement on TW3 that comes with SGS. I have a SGS II now as well and I love TW4 so if you can install it on your ROM then go for it. Make sure you do a nandroid backup in CWM recovery in case anything gets messed up so you can just restore before installing it though.

Try flashing Cieto's JVHbase Rom from my signature. It's very stable and very fast. Here'sthe link for front facing camera fix. Try his rom. You will be blown away by how good it is. He is very quick to give support as well. The difference with battery life and speed compared to stock JVH from samfirmware.com is huge.

I'm currently looking at Tweaky V4.1. It looks to be what I'm after I'm just not sure if it is compatible with my current set up.
I will check out Cieto's Rom too.

i9000 noob owner,need help please

What are the best combinations for i9000 at this moment?I mean what firmware+lagfix should i put on my phone?
Now i have 2.3.4 XXJVP.
I have just one preference,to put ICS on this device.
Please give me download links+step by step guide for beginers.Don't send me to other page.
Cheers.

there shd be links and instruction on their specific threads.. however ICS do follow CM7 procedures for installation

ICS for beginners
Maybe you should first read more about root, recovery mode, and flashing in general, because when anything happen with your device, you may have to deal with odin for example.

If you're new to this, you will have to read a lot more than one page!
Also ICS is still only a release candidate for i9000, so tisn't perfect, there be [small] dragons...
Flake x

i dont think u should flash ICS now as u r a beginner...wait for a stable release,but u can always go for the GB roms..

Good guides are available
I, being a noob, installed ICS just fine using a really clear step-by-step guide from theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-update-for-galaxy-s-i9000-custom-rom/
Download links are included in the guide, and I encountered no major problems so far.
Just 2 more tips: if you get an error during the flashing, just reboot into download mode again and flash again and if you get in a bootloop after updating from zip, reboot into recovery mode and update from zip again, should work.

[Q]Should I use CWM or odin to flash 4.0rom like romow?

I know this is a very stupid question but I just want to make sure flashing with CWM is viable.
For the leaked stock ics 4.0 rom I know I should use odin to flash, but how about custom 4.0 rom like Romow? Should I use CWM to flash the zip file?
Thx~
ps: I am currently running rocketrom v19 with CWM

use CWM n flash zip

You should read in the post how must it be done, you should start in annual kernel 3.9 then install chainfire.repack and so on
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

There are no instructions in romow's thread and that's why i am here to ask for any further instructions. I bet flashing a 4.0custom rom is similar to flashing Gingerbread rom. Am i right?
Also, some ppl claimed that I need to first flash the stock leaked 4.0 rom then have my phone rooted with CWM installed and finally flash custom 4.0 rom with CWM. Is that really necessary?

There are better roms now than ROMOW's one i think, try flashing Rocket Rom, or the new AOSP

From the instructions given in [02/24/12][Team Rocket ROM][open beta ICS v4.0.3][v1.5][15Tooglebar] daily ROM now! , it seems I really have to flash the leaked ics rom first before installing the rocketrom 4.0.3 rom, is that true? That means I cannot directly install the ics rocketrom from any gingerbread custom rom?

Yes youre right, there is a problem with root a cwm in ics, and you need to da that
Follow carefully the instructiones if not you wont hace fullroot

PROBLEMS!
Just have to ask it right here as well...I went to romow yesterday for testing reasons (just flashed the zip in cwm) but I have to go back since there are too many bugs imao atm.
Just tried to go back to my CWM Backup....now I´m stucked at the bootanimation!
Do you guys know what could be the reason here? And what I could do to get my nandroid backup working again?

Did you flash 4.0.3 directly from gingerbread rom? BTW I've heard many people say their phones were stuck in the bootscreen(The samsung N7000 with no boot animation) when they tried to go back from ics to gingerbread. Seems this is a common problem....

Yes, I came directly from GB!

If you can load the boot animation that means ur phone is not bricked. You should try to download a stock gingerbread rom from dr ketan's post and flash it by odin pc.

When going back to GB, i kinda 'restart' the whole process by going back to Stock ROM via Odin, and redo the root and CWM.
Else, there are strange quirky issue ex. CWM just hangs while wiping the phone.

Hey Kelvin Fong & J.wong, thank you guys for your support!
Sorry for noobing around from now on...I´m not exactly the newest guy when it comes to these flash-things, but I have to admit that I´m kind of confused now...
I tried to find dr. ketans thread (this one?) but I´m not getting into his post (sorry for that, as I said: I´m confused!):
dr.ketan said:
Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.

The first thing I´ve made evertime in the past was to read the full-noob tutorials...for some reason, I can´t find something like that for the note!
May I kindly ask you if you know a thread were these things (and perhaps the results after going back to stock) are explained from scratch again? Just want to understand what I have to do and how, it´s getting harder to find some information that are not based on years of flash-training

Should be this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997).
Firstly, download one of the roms from [Older ROMs (Directly Rootable)].
Secondly, follow the [Installation Guide For Older ROM ], the one using odin pc.
You may see below another flashing method using mobile odin, but that doesn't suit you since that one requires your phone rooted before and will keep your root after flashing. The one with odin pc will wipe out all your data and apps(of course not your SD card) and also unroot your phone. That means your CWM and root will all be gone and you have to follow another post to root it again(now this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)
this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997)teaches you how to flash a rootable gingerbread rom, but not rooted. This one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)shows you how to root your phone and install CWM. I think these two posts are the best tutorials you are looking for.

I think you should download this >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=907734&d=1329574136
This one is better organized.

Thanks mate! Saved it to my desktop...but finally i was able to manage the problem by simply flashing a *fresh* RocketRom again (?!). I thought it would be worth a try...
Anyway: Thank you very much for your support, it´s good to still meet that friendly kind of people with patience here on the board (it´s getting less these days) hope i´ll be able to return the favor in future

You are welcome! Please note your binary counter may increase if you flash a rooted rom like rocketrom you've mentioned above directly via odin.

As far as I remember I made my very first steps with odin after I reveived my note (root, cwm)...rocket has been flashed by using cwm. But yes, my binary counter increased definitely...
...I do have a USB Jig, but in some was I am kind of afraid of going trough this! To fumble around in pure darkness...hmmm i don´t know
Have you tried it yourself?

Actually I've got a yellow triangle together with increased binary counter as I followed another tutorial guide(I should follow dr ketan's guide before).
I think removing the counter with a jig is way too dangerous for me so I don't want to risk it. Simply remove the counter only when you really need to bring your phone to samsung because maybe you don't even have to claim the warranty at all.

Flashed ZImage -> now black

Hi Guys!
Well ... sorry if its a stupid question but seems like im new to this.

Hi! Yes, now that you say it this way thats what i have done. Because in some tut it was said to do it that way, but i guess they were talking about flashing a GB rom/zimage.

As the install guide says you are meant to flash the repack and then go into recovery and flash the rom. You will likely need to flash a gb kernel via obin and then do as hia install guide says

Ok, thanks for your help so far.
So you mean the PC version of Odin. In which state will i have to bring my phone in order to do so? Where do i get the GB kernel from?
Would be really cool if you could help me further.

Well i am not 100% sure, tbh your safest route would be to re flash a stock gb rom then root it and then try again just to make sure theres no issues, in which case you can download a gb rom from the sticky in the dev section (make sure its a older rootable image!) and flash using odin while your phone is in download mode

please start at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 then/or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
i am hoping of course, that you can still somehow manage to get into download mode.

I has almost the same issue! I am running speedmod kernel and i want to put back the cf-root 5.3 kernel so I flashed the tar which was included the zimage via mobile oding and after reboot the phone gave me a blank screen and no recovery! only downlaod mmod where I can manage to flash speedmod again via pc odin...
why is that happend?

Come on mate have you even read the opening page for the liquid smoother rom on all opening pages it tells you to the letter how to install and yet you don't follow it and wonder y you have a black screen. Have you installed clock work recovery after rooting your note if not search how to install cwm on you tube cursed4eva is a brilliant guy who spells it all out for you- . Please don't use the fact you a noob as an excuse as I'm probably newer than you but can read and follow instructions to the letter as the developer knows best.

W00t! The phone came back to life! Thanks alot.
Now, what i dont understand is that repack_lp1 thing. I downloaded I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar ... now do i flash this one using mobile odin? Will this install the CFM?

Look for cursed4eva on YouTube watch the video were he shows you how to install clockwork then read the op of liquid smooth rom simple !

Please do some more research before randomly flashing files without having any knowledge as to what they do.
Before you start fiddling with repacks and leaked ICS based roms, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938
If you still think it's a good idea to flash anything based on the leaked ICS builds, go to the thread of the rom you want to flash and read the instructions. Again, read the instructions and then to be sure read the instructions once more.
Then follow the instructions step by step and you're good to go.

From my rooted GB Chrack's rom I just used PC odin to flash AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar then I flashed Liquid Smooth rom without problem. However you should follow the instruction from their website.

Download Philz kernel from here (there should be one for your version (LPT) otherwise get one just as close (LPx . 4.0.x)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
once done, stick it on your sd card (internal preferably)
Now, download a JB ROM of your choice and place that on your sd card too (same place / folder and philz kernel (so its easier to find))
Now, flash philz kernel in recovery (stock or cwm) and then reboot recovery (under advanced)
from here you can continue to do all the wipes (or go to philz settings and choose 'clean for new rom') and then proceed to flash the JB ROM of your choice.
Notes to consider:
1. Not all ROM installations are the same, so be sure to double check the instructions from your chosen ROMs thread!
2. Wiping data will lose all your apps and data (not media, pics, music etc) So be sure to have a backup - Titanium is a good app for this, but requires root.
3. If you cannot find philz kernel for your version (LPT) and decide to use another version instead, your ROM may not boot, So if you need root to back up your stuff before the update, I would suggest to try another rooting method such as ExynosExploit.
4. Dont be overwhelmed by everything, it looks daunting, but once you know the procedure its really simple

Or use PC odin to install JB 4.1.2 XXLSZ.. no need to root..

please confirm
