froyo to CM9 - how? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I currently try to upgrade a froyo phone to the stable CM9 rom.
Whenever I am flashing the cm9 through CWM 2.5.1.2 (downloaded through rom manager) the phone shuts down while flashing and then it is stuck in a bootloop.
Here is what I am doeing:
useing Darkys v9.2 Resurrection edition. Then I am on:
-> Firmware 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJPY
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #Voodoo_stable_5.4
Build: Darkys v9.2 Extreme Edition
then I am donwloading CWM 2.5.1.2 thrugh rom manager and in CWM I want to flash following zips:
Devil3_0.71_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120609
cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd
gapps-ics-20120429-signed
the Kernel (Devil3) flashes finde.. when I am flashing cm9 then the phone restarts in the middle of the flashing process and hangs in a bootloop.
What am i doeing wrong?

You have to flash a Gingerbread rom with Gingerbread bootloaders first. Then flash CM9. When you flash CM9 from Gingerbread, the phone will restart once. Just flash CM9 again and you're good to go.
Why son't you flash CM10? It's newer and stable enough for daily use.

Thanks I will flash CM7 and after that CM9 then.
I personally use CM10 but this phone is the one from my aunt and I just want a stable rom for her because if something doesn t work (like maybe in the current CM10 alphas) then I have to look after the phone again.

Wait your on froyo you need to Odin darkyrom ressurection v10 or gingerbread one that flash cm no need for cwm darky comes with it

Also cm9 will reboot half way just get back into cwm and reflash its because of partition changes

In my case I tried CM 7.2 and CM9.0 and after flashing (in both cases) my phone goes into a loop... finally I reinstalled Gingerbread.
I made both flash using the guidelines in CM Wiki.

I reccomend you to flash JVU with repartition. That will install your bootloaders and Cf-Rooting it, you will be able to flash both CM7 or CM9, via CWM

DarkyromResurrection is jvu based but comes with root already less hassle its how I did it

If you want stability you better flash some GB rom, not ICS. If your aunt doesn't care about speed (not that GB is that slow...) then GB is the best choice, in my opinion. More stability and better battery.

ICS is runs perfectly stable now if you select the right rom

Which Froyo ROM should I use?

Hello friends!
I have tried DarkyROM 10.2.2 but I think I like Froyo more than GB. Can you please recommend which is the fastest and the most stable Froyo ROM avaible. Kindly recommend a ROM in which incorporates Call recording or in which it can be added later.
I tried to install DarkyROM 9.5 but somehow I wasnt successful in installing it, I always got an error.
BTW, is there a GB ROM with Call recording?
Please help as it is urgent...
I'm a big fan of serendipity. Go for 6.3 not 6.4.
6.3 was rock solid. I updated to 6.4 and got infrequent reboots. I am also rocking darky 10.2.2 atm and not real happy with it.
Will be moving onto something else when I get a new laptop
Thanks. Is there any other Froyo ROM that I should try? I am on Darky 10.2.2 GB but the phone gets very slow after a few weeks of usage.
Froyo ROM
Why not try stock JS8, SpeedMod Kernel, remove ALL the bloatware, should be pretty quick...

I rocked Darky 10.2.2 for a few weeks, some issues with it.
Now trying out "F1 Innovation v14" by .
Check it out HERE.
I like it so far, much closer to stock than Darky's, it's been a week, no FC's yet.
If you flash Froyo from GB make sure you have a rom with the correct bootloaders. Not every rom you download has bootloaders.
Also check update bootloaders in Odin.
Have fun!

[Q] About Semaphore kernel flashing

hi,
i have stock Galaxy s i9000 with 2.3.4 XXJVP.. i want to install Semaphore kernel... hoping it will improve overall performance and give even better performance with games like asphalt 6,,..
all i want to know is that can flash it over my stock with SGS kernel flasher??? or are there any other pre requirements for it???
or is there any better kernel for playing games lag free??
THX
Ny reply??? :-(
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
You can install this Kernel via Odin easily, and YES it will improve your overall performance
Ps.:Flash Gingerbread 2.3.6 its really good
Remember to disable lagfix.
The best kernels for playing games on gingerbread roms are the Semaphore Bigmem kernels. But if you really want lag-free and super smooth gaming, you should consider using froyo 2.2.1 roms.
Oh, and to answer your question, yes you can flash the kernel using the kernel flasher app, but it's probably safer to use Odin.
Thx fr the replies...
I would want to know which version of semaphore to download..??? Thrre are two versions.. 2.1 & a bm version ...

How do you do this?
you should download the RIGHT kernel, if you have JVP download the kernel for JVP ,not the kernel for JVZ.
for gaming and performance TalonDEV kernel is the best
Semaphore kernels link
Hey can someone give me the link to semaphore jvt 1.9.2 kernel?
TIA

If you dont know, you probably dont have to. My guess is you have never used lagfix or ext4. if you think you might have, go to cwm recovery - shut down phone, hit the 3 button combo (power + home + volume up) until samsung galaxy boot screen appears and leave the buttons immediately. in the recovery mode, go to advanced and see if theres any option for Lagfix or Ext4.

No you should not do that. Use a kernal that is meant for your firmaware. If you want to flash semaphore 2.1.1, first upgrade your firware to JVZ using Odin. The are plenty of links to this firware under General.
This could be a silly question
As per the SamMobile.com the JVZ released on November 2011

Hey sorry have been away. Well you should be able to flash a kernel but there arent many out there and i am a little wary of flashing a kernel as they are all in a very experimental stage. Moreover, i find teamhacksung's (pawitp's) build to be more stable and the aries kernel was a whole lot more better. hated glitch the moment i flashed it.
Happy flashing...

From MTD to stock

Hey.
I think you must do a re-stock
You know, Odin sets the non-MTD file system and you can get a brick if the OS is not ready,is not clean.
Sorry,I can't give you links now,but you can just google the needed information
First of all, backup all files you need to your PC, restock formats /sdcard too.
Then go to the website of The Team Overcome and find a restock there. and the latest overcome kernel. You will download an archive with a full 2.3 Android, some modems (choose the one you want) and Odin. Then just flash it via Odin. You will get a clean Tab,like it is really new. And then flash the kernel,you'll get root,cwm, ext4. And then you can flash other builds. I can recommend you the nightly builds by Cyanogen (our device is called p1 in their download center, just download the latest build and flash via recovery). Upgrading from one nightly to another you mustn't do wipes/restocks.
Don't forget to do wipes after flashing restock

[Q] Updating my s1 from darkyrom v9.5 to JB, whats best rom?

I got a i9000 for backup that is still running darky rom 9.5 extreme version, i hardly ever update it but looking to now as my s3 is going in for repair, whats the best, most stable rom for performance and battery that i can install and keep on there without a need to reflash for another year?
Whats the method of flashing a JB rom onto my s1, is there an issue with bootloaders?
I'd recommend latest Mackay 1.5.0. It's rock stable and hardly customized - it's nearly stock JB. Thus it's really stable and reliable.
Flashing a JB ROM needs CM9 as a base, so you will have to flash CM9 anyways first. And be sure to backup your IMEI folder!
Custom JB C-RoM Mix v6 is also highly recommended. Very fast smooth and stable. You must flash a CM9 Rom first to avoid getting your IMEI invalid.
You can flash via CWM.

I flashed the c Rom mix, so far so good, didn't flash CM9, as I read the replies later to this thread but luckily my imei number is still intact.

[Q] Newbie question about Kernels and ROMs

Still foggy about Kernels and ROMs.
I recently installed 3.0.36_HydraCore_v5.34 kernel on my GT-N700 which was already running ICS 4.0.4 Baseband version N7000XXLS1 and it seems very stable.
However, I wanted to try the Speedmod JB ROM from Cursed4Eva and saw that it required installing a supplied kernel first. I assumed this is because the kernel and ROM have been developed together for compatibility. (Not sure if I assume correctly or if I'm using the correct terminology).
It all worked fine until I tried to re-install the HydraCore kernel after which the phone wouldn't boot. (I recovered easily using a Nandroid backup with ROM Manager).
My question is, is it always the best practice to install the recommended kernel (if any) when flashing a new ROM and not to try re-installing say, the Hydracore afterwards? The HydraCore claims to be compatible with any ROM but either it isn't compatible with the JB ROM or I'd doing something wrong (more likely).
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Trevor
I don't know what is a speedmod jb rom.
but if it's based on the latest samsung stock touchwiz jellybean rom, the hydracore is not compatible with it. current safe kernel is only philz xxls2/xxls7. If the phone is not booting the boot into recovery and flash the rom again
---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------
hydracore is compatible with most of the roms except the Samsung JB touchwiz as the kernel sources are not released as of yet. Once it does, dev will make it compatible for it too
Thank you. That makes sense. I still have a lot to learn.

PS I would have hit thnks but can't see the button on my screen.
