Rooting Samsung i9000 DXJPA and installing Cyanogenmod using Heimdall - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 and install Cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm using a Mac and will be using Heimdall.
The problem is I don't know where I can find the correct version of Clockworkmod for my phone. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My phone details are below:

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, is installing CWM actually rooting my phone or do I need to do something else?
Thanks!

If I do update to 2.3.6, how does that get me closer to rooting my phone?

Yes, because you need the gingerbread bootloaders to install CMx anyway. So do this.
1. Upgrade to 2.3.x with kies or Heimdall. Doesn't matter.
1a. Put the appropriate cm9 files in your SD card. (Gapps, ROM)
2. Flash semaphore or devil kernel .tar files under pda in Odin. Not sure about heimdall sorry!
Note: Please note that recovery is packaged with the kernel on this ROM, so flashing a kernel changes your cwm as well.
3. Now, you phone won't boot, no big deal. All we need is the recovery. Reboot into recovery and flash the cm9 file.
4. Now wipe data / factory reset
5. Reboot, Rejoice, enjoy

now,the question is,can i root using the mentioned method?ive downloaded the how to root guide from dr.ketan, but when i read about the hardbrick,im getting confuse..so,is it safe to continue using this method?..
thanks in advanced
Yes the rooting process is safe. Its just not safe to do a factory reset or data wipe if you are on a lpy-lpf etc kernel.
ok,so whati need to do,i downgrade my phone to direct rootable rom using pc odin,root it then install cwm..and if i want to install an ics rom,i use the cwm is it and keep my cf root..then i will have an updated rom with root and cwm...am i correct?
anyone?

no no no, thats not the way it works, no need to downgrade, but there are some other things to consider as the yellow triangle that appears after flashing a cf root.tar, i thing the safer and quicker method would be this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
as it says, just dont make any backup or restore because it dont work but the root will work fine
what if i wanted to flash a custom rom?for example the kingdroid..so,i need to install cwm is it?
Flash Using Mobile ODIN
With root on, you can always use mobile ODIN to flash to any firmware of your choice. No binary count and also no triangle.

You can use MO to flash any STOCK firmware of your choice.
For custom ones you need to have a working CWM Recovery.

[Q] We beg your help

Last few days i've been trying to install the ICS version on my galaxy note. I asked ppl here and watched more than 1h of videos on youtube but i found nothing. Maybe the instructions are hidden on threads of 500 pages and i couldn't find it, or the information was not complete, idk.
So I also did nothing, better than hardbrick, but i already used the ICS on galaxy nexus and now i'm addicted to that sys.
I'd like to ask if someone here could create a full tutorial, with "how to perfectly install ICS".
Which kernel we should use, which rom is trustable, remember, we are jumping from GB to ICS.
Thank you,
Enio.
PS: I mean we BEG your help lol
Check the links on dr ketans signature for all kinds of rioting and upgrade guides.
Are they updated according to bad kernels and roms?
let me just tell you how i do it....
go to stock GB rom..KL3 would be good....
flash it...root it...
put the rom that you want in your SD card...
go to CWM and wipe data factory reset....wipe cache...wipe dalvid cache...
reboot to recovery...
install the ICS rom...
enjoy....
next time you want to install a new ICS rom...
download Redpilltouch Recovery...flash it...reboot to recovery and do all 3 wipes and install the RoM
If you are on GB and not rooted then easy way is to flash GB Speed mod kernel odin version through PC odin then you will be rooted (of course you will get yellow triangle thats not a problem you can use Triangleaway app from CF) then flash Abyss 4.2 redpill kernel boot into recovery of abyss perform 3 wipes then proceed to flash any custom ICS rom and you are done.
Its already rooted since day 1.

hi
there is no need to install kernel
you can do it on CWM
only because of repartitioning on this rom on rom installation process tab will be reboot and continue to install rom afer boot automatically
good luck

What do you mean by repartitioning? Does it make partitions on my sd?
So basically i only need to go on recovery mode and install this along with its gapps? Pls correct me if im wrong.thanks.

hi
as you know there are several types of partition
in windows there are fat16, fat32, ntfs
in linux there are many diferent types
repartitioning in your tab means this ROM (10.1) needs to run on MTD partition, so its change your tab partition to MTD
in this case you lost all your data such as contacts, app and ...
and the other is when you want to came back to GB ROM you should use ODIN and follow restock rom installation
good luck
Ohh.. now i get what repartition means.. thanks.. ill try to flash 10.1 when i get time. Thanks again

Hi davidjmorin,
I recently flashed a cm nightly-20130610. It also got aborted when I installed the zip file for the first time, but when I tried it again immediately, it was successful. I don't know the reason behind it. Have you tried flashing it again immediately after it failed? I assume that your device is rooted.

Your device is CDMA or GSM? Usually error 7 come after the device check, so understand if you need a p1 or p1c version.

I fig out the error 7 issue. Now i cant get rom to install. I always get s soft brick.
I have the CDMA version. I am on stock gingerbread 2.3.4 currently. I have tried using hheimdall but cannot get that damn thing to work for the life of me. I have uninstalled drivers about a dozen times and reinstalled. Notihng will get heimdall to work and it seems every way to get jellybean on i800 is with that crap program. Is there an odin file i can use to do this?
Thanks guys

Did you tried to flash a kernel like this via Odin?
This include CMW. After that you can install your 10.1 via CMW.
What is your currently recovery mode? If you have factory recovery mode there isn't be possible to install cyanogenmod. If you have clockwork mode you may install newer version of clockworkmod and install cyanogenmod and gapps what you want.When you install newer version of clockwork mode you may download
HTML:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=p1c
and from this site
HTML:
http://goo.im/gapps
google applications. First you install cm and after finish you install gapps but be carefully when you install cm and gapps. Download gapps for a specific software version.

SGS slow booting and all crashing

Hi,
I have problem with SGS. When I got it from my friend there was Android 2.3.3. When i turn on the phone, booting took maybe 30minutes, then all apps started to crash. So I did wipe data and wipe cache in system recovery but it didnt solve the problem. Then I flash over Odin official firmware but still booting takes about 30minutes and all apps are crashing. I tried to flash three files rom via odin too but it didnt help. So please help, i really dont know what to do now, i tried everything
Phone is non-rooted, there is official 2.3.6 but all is crashing so it is unusable.
Thanks and sorry for my english

yes you can, use odin and the download menu of the phone (turn it of, then turn it on and press volume down + home + power buttom for a few sec)
there are a few guids in this forum how to do that, just search for it
