So I got my SGA back and decided to flash a fresh stock ROM. After I googled something about the latest ROM for Ace I found a recent firmware for Spain - XWKTM, so I flashed it via Odin.
Now, I needed to root my phone and got the zipped file from here: http://everythingprecise.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830.html.
But I want to flash CF root kernel and change the recovery with CWM. Should I proceed with flashing the said 2 files without worrying about probably bricking my phone? Just wanna make sure, of course.
See attached "About Phone" screeny. (if it helps)

Hello.
So i've got a problem with my I9000.
I've upgraded it to froyo, official release, so i'm stuck with the 3e recovery.I recently flashed the voodoo lagfix kernel via Odin. I would like to get clockwork recovery to replace 3e, but I understand i have to flash it via Odin, too. My question is : Is clockwork's kernel going to replace voodoo? If so, how can i have them both?
Thanks a lot in advance.
if you upgrade offical froyo then u must first do a root..the root files can be find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108...download correct root for your firmwire phone...then flash it tru odin..when u done with that u must download a rom manager from market...and install it to get clockwork mode =)
I wouldn't follow the previous poster's advice.
If you're going to use cwm, why do you want stock firmware? Try flashing speedmod kernel to get cwm, which has built in root and lagfix accesable from recovery. Or just go to a custom fw like docrom kitchen.
Best procedure for going custom with the sgs is a single flash of speedmod w/ cwm from odin, and then flash anything else via cwm.

My i9000 is on i9000xxjvb stock rom. I flashed modified kernal to make it rooted and cwm enabled. I am unable to move appear from phone memory to internal SD. An error message appears " failed to move application, not enough memory."
To get rid of this, i tried Hamsterbread 1.1 custom rom, but problem not solved. I used every method from hard reset to wipe cache, data and more. But nothing happened.
Now I want to downgrade to froyo. I don't know how to do this? Please, tell the procedure in detail and step by step. I belong to India. There is no 2.2.1 version available for India. Can I go for other regions versions? or I should stick with i9000ddjp6 which is latest verison for India. Thanks
i havnt tried downgrading. but i think you could try flashin back using odin with bootlooder froyo.
i live in india but use european firmware an see no problem
^^ Im not sure about this. I think you can just flash a Froyo ROM via CWM. I am not sure about this. It always makes sense to search around before you do either. Good Luck!
If you flash speedmod (or whatever froyo kernel you choose) through odin, then simply install whatever rom through cwm via zip file. The downgraded froyo rom doesn't need bootloaders, the gingerbread ones are backwards compatible. Tried it myself and it worked without a hitch.
Just flash any stock firmware through ODIN with pit and repartitioned tick and you are good to go.
Makes sense to open eyes and read the post that tells you how .Or even use the search button .

just download a stock froyo firmware and flash with odin. there are tutorials all over the place
just flash froyo kernel using odin and then enter clockwordmod install zip
Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas

Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.
2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.
Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.

Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !
Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!
Happy Holidays

Here is my question: I have a SGS i9000 with froyo 2.2 stock and cf-root, by flashing cf-root i gained obviously root but also the recovery 2e that should be without signature verification. Now if i want to install CM7.2 can i just install it via recovery 2e by renaming it update.zip? or i will brick the phone? On Cm official wiki page about installing they say you need to have gingerbread installed but i'm on mac and i can't flash a gb rom because heimdall is not detecting the file, i also tried with a linux partition on my mac but it did not worked. to get root i used first z4root and then mobile odin to flash cf root with recovery 2e.
thanks in advance to who will help me!
PS: I also have a I9001(see signature) but the phone for wich i'm asking is a i9000!

download KIES for Mac from My Android collections link below, and upgrade your phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 (KIES will do it automatically) than root it with a semaphore kernel to get CWM, before going on to ICS and than to JB...should be done in this manner , do not jump from GB to JB ( you will have less problems)

ok i will try it, but kies from samsung site is not working at all. and moreover i have this problem, i just want to go from froyo to CyanogenMod 7.2 (android 2.3.6 GB). without any intention to go to ICS or JB. Second thing, if i manage to update from kies then heimdall is going to recognise it? Because if not i can't flash semaphore. Last thing i should uroot the device to update from kies right?
Many thanks for your help!
new information: I have installed your version of kies, and it finally recognise the phone, but it say that the device do not support update via kies, what can i do? thanks
Second edit: i researched and now i know the problem is that i cf-rooted my phone. so how could i revert? to cf-root i have used mobile odin after gained SU with z4root. i would had avoided to flash that if i had know that today kies were to recognise my phone! please help me lso if it was a noob mistake.

Ok, since you have installed KIES and working , heimdall should also be working, IF not you can download a latest heimdall mac version, from earlier link to update to ginger bread 2.3.6, before CM..also backup efs. contacts, images etc first, IF you have CWM, you can even do a nandroid backup, before any upgrade .
Always best to do progressive upgrade as it will not complicate the upgrade by jumping from froyo to CM ( which is a custom ROM) . Best to READ the developers Flashing guidelines before upgrade too.
Flashing the gingerbread ROM will automatically remove your earlier CF root, just download your original Firmware for your region from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 , than use a semaphore Kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 this will give you root plus CWM for you to upgrade to CM 7.2
Do not jump, as you need Gingerbread bootloaders for upgrade to CM
Solved!

Ok the problem was with froyo secondary bootloader, that is not recognised by heimdall if connected to a mac, nor to a VM Linux on the same mac. so i had borrowed my neighbour's netbook with windows 7. installed heimdall there and everything went smoothly. Firstly i have flashed a new GB rom, 2.3.6, the newer eropean one, then flashed CF-root for that rom with integrated CWM 3.x.x.x. The only problem was that when i flashed from cwm CM7.2.0 i hade a boot loop, so i had to swith off the fone by long pressing the power botton, then i booted in recovery, now the recovery was cwm 5.x.x.x so i wiped data/factpry reset and wiped cache, from the new cwm 5.x.x.x reinstalled CM7.2.0's zip and the latest gapps, booted again and everything went smooth from there.
Thanks for your help!
I already have a custom rom installed but I'm going to sell my Note... So I want to make it official but rooted...
I cant find any thread for it. A near official rom I found is CleaNote rom but I want a fully offcial rom like on Samfirmware but rooted.
I dont want to download via samfirmware because then I will have to though whole process of rooting again and then triangle removing mod etc...
its just a one step method for rooting ics these days.
Download the rom of your choice
download philz kernel as per rom
boot into recovery
install zip
done
you have root, and cwm and safe kernel
No triangle, no counter
There is a prerooted gb rom but i dont think there is a prerooted ics cause its not safe to stay stock after you get rooted
So as nokiamodeln91 said,download a stock ics rom and flash philz kernel
Thanks guys!
I hv downloaded the Stock rom from Samfirmware in ZIP format... As my phone is rooted, can I use mobile ODIN to flash that zip and Philz Kernel OR should I use cwm recovery to flash both.... (Im asking ths bec what if the phone reboots immediately after installing rom via cwm.... it wont gimme a chance to install philz after rebooting because stock rom also installs stock kernel)
Use pc odin to install the stock rom and then philz from recovery... Or u can use mobile odin aslo. If u already rooted, mobile odin may give the option to inject su, and u may have root as well after the rom install.
cwm u can't flash stock
You cant use cwm to flash a stock rom
You can use either pc odin or mobile odin to do so
