Hi folks,
Im a sgs2 user but I have my old I9000 international, that I wish to send away to a friend in need. Im sure this question has been asked a few times but specific to this circumstance, I would like suggestions for a rock stable ICS ROM. I have jelly bean on there now and it seems to be running ok, but if something goes awry, im not around to flash a new ROM for this person and they know nothing about rooting. JB is also not mature enough to send away to someone.
Been away from this forum for awhile since sgs2 but it appears ICS333 is decent?
Also if someone could tell me the best radio for Tmobile. I have no way to test it with a tmobile sim card since im on a canadian provider.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I have tried many jelly bean roms but those are not stable enough that I go back to ICS333 because it is the most stable. First install value pack 2.3.x like xxjvu or xxjvs via Odin then root ur phone and finally install ics333. That works best for me.

I have a Galaxy s GT-I9000m using the bell network. I been stuck with android 2.3.3 for over a year now.
I have been doing research and am finding it difficult to find a good source of information.
Mainly looking for the latest and most stable version of gingerbread. Also want to get rid of bloatware.
If someone can point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful
Thanks in advance.

Welcome!~ Let me tell you it'll get frustrating at first, but if you have patience and are willing to put in some time to learn things you will no doubt be amazed at what you can do.
I had a similar issue a while back and I started a thread, which blew up with information, so I suggest you look through there as it has useful tips from some really great members about what you're looking for. I see you're looking to upgrade from 2.3.3. The latest in my thread is version 2.3.6 and that one is great. Try that out first and when you're ready I suggest moving onto Cyanogenmod 7.1 as it's based on the latest Gingerbread build 2.3.7
Good luck! Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375971
this thread is useful i reckon. good luck.

Does my phone have to be unlocked? It if so the only way to unlock that I've seen is to use another sim card.
No, your phone does not need to be unlocked.
I'm currently running the JW1 (2.3.6) ROM that was released at the end of January with the Bell phone and modem files.
See post #9 in the thread pk1025 linked to.
It discusses and visually displays how to take pieces of different ROMs and install them on a Bell GT-i9000m phone.
It talks about installing JVT, but the same thing applies if you wish to install JW1 or the JVU value pack version discussed here.
Thanks alot the process is making alot more sense.
What's the most current stable version of 2.3.6. and where do I get it from?
Hello,
I would like to try flashing my rogers captivate to ICS. Nothing fancy just a astable bug free ICS. However I am on 2.3.3. I updated through KIES a while back and now I have no idea how to root my phone or install roms. I am afraid the last time I looked into this everything was very different. I have read the forums but am still a little anxious.
Is it possible to root and then install CWM or something to install roms from my current 2.3.3 version? If so how may I do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Christopher
By reading all the stickies and reading some more info, you will be a genius at this stuff by the time you're done...
Yeah thats what I am kinda trying to avoid. I have to hack and read so much already it gets really tiring having to keep up with it all. Add to this work and school and its like info overload. I was hoping there might be an easier way than earning another mini phone phD. Thus far I have determined I have to change my kernel... I think? My phone is unrooted. Stock 2.1 to 2.3.3 KIES.
This Site is mentioned for developing. That being said for the rest of us, we are supposed to learn. The reason it's important to read and understand is you can potentially kill your phone.

to root your device use superoneclick all roms are same for Rogers and att captivate so just flash any one you like
hello every one iam just got my S I9000 ( not plus ) i want links for tutorials about how to root my phone and get the newest baseband and i want link for the best kernel and rom ( best rom in graphics/speed/games )
thanks in advance
First of all, there's no such thing as the best rom - it's like trying to compare apple and oranges and saying one's better than the other. I usually recommend people to start with stock-based roms (so no AOKP or cyanogen mods) simply because it's closer to the stock rom and usually to flash.
As for rooting your phone, if you are already planning to flash a new rom, there's not much point in rooting it now. All custom roms are rooted. If still want to learn to root (which might actually be a good starting point), you need to tell us what firmware you are currently on.
thx for replay and my firmware 2.2.1
and my baseband t959uvka7

thats not an i9000 thats a tmobile vibrant...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm goood
Trying to flash a I9000 rom on a Vibrant will most likely brick the thing. Better to start looking in the Vibrant section instead. Good thing Paul spotted it.
his mob is tegra ?? he have the same mob like mine and i dunno where's my section !!! should i just search for any vibrant t-mobile section ??

Much thanks...the information you have given me has been great and very helpfull, now i know i am all set..
Thanks again, appreciate it
Sorry but the JVT Rom is just for 2.3.6 and 2.3.5, there isnt any for 2.3.3, just want some clarification.
EDIT:
I got the phone onto GB and flashed new ICS Rom, thanks again for the help and useful links..
Hi, guys.
I'm having a lot of problems with my 5830 at this time. It's currently running 2.3.6 stock although 3G is not working at all. I've tried countless other ROMs hoping to resolve the issue, but I am just getting nowhere. I'm assuming I will need to drop down to 2.2, but finding a 2.2 ROM... Right now, I have S5830XWTR.
If anybody might be able to point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
try cm10.1 based roms or cm7.2!
cm7.2 based miracle v4 is a good and stable one!
then there is infinity rom as well!

Awesome, taking a look at that now, although this leads me onto my next question. How can I root this thing? Both SuperOneClick and OneClickRoot fail to root it. (Have no CWMRec on here right now).
Thanks, pal.
EDIT: Got it sorted. Thanks so much for your help!
Have you ever tried Ultimatum ROM?
