Simple question. I messed up my phone and want to return to the original.
I am a Canadian BELL i9000m - JL2 is what I need.
I know more-or-less how to flash etc. my question is this:
I am on the super optimized kernal, and seeARMS 2.2 JL2 rom.
all I have to do is get the original stock firmware released by bell/samsung for i9000m (JL2) and put it into Odin (and then once in download mode) it should work ?
my question is what boxes do I tick
like how do I get my stock kernal back - I need to get the modem, kernla, rom, etc. back to stock - which boxes in odin do I check ?
Disable any lag fixes you may have on the fone and download JL2 from samfirmware, unzip the file then pop it in the pda field in Odin, don't tick any boxes. Put your fone in to download mode - connect to pc then click start. This will flash JL2 on to your fone.

thanks alot man. and this will remove the other kernal too i suppose ?
anything else I have to disable? I put a few other fixes on there I think.
The flash will restore the fone back to stock and remove all your previous data including kernal. Do a factory data reset after the flash

Thanks man -
I assume from there i can try and do it again and hopefully I won't mess up ?
I wonder if you can help me out so I don't break my phone again. Here are the instructions:
To install this ROM:
1. Download and extract the file you downloaded above to the root of your internal SD card (both the "seearms" folder and the .ZIP ROM file).
If you would like to customize your install, continue doing step 2. If you would like a stock install with all the applications + SpeedMod kernel + JL2 modem + Generation X theme, skip to step 3 (however I'd recommend customizing your install. )
2a. Browse to the "seearms/kernel" folder on your SD card and delete whichever kernel you do not want to install.
2b. Do the same with the "seearms/modem" folder: delete whichever one you don't want to install (I'd recommend installing the JL2 modem unless you've specifically had problems with it).
2c. Do the same with the "seearms/applications" folder: delete whichever applications you do not use. You're allowed to delete all of them to create a slim install, or delete none to create a stock install.
2d. Browse to the "seearms/extra" folder on your SD card, and delete whichever extras you do not wish to install (You're able to choose the Generation X theme, blue Android Market, custom boot animations, etc). Most importantly, if you would like the ROM to wipe your data, leave "wipe" untouched. If you don't want it to format your data, delete "wipe".
2e. So, before going further, you should have the following folder structure on your SD card:
"seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4.zip" - anywhere on your SD card, doesn't matter
"seearms/extra" - customized to your liking
"seearms/applications" - customized to your liking
And a single file in both of these folders, depending on the kernel and modem you wish to install:
"seearms/kernel"
"seearms/modem"
3. Boot into recovery, and select "Install zip from sdcard".
4. Select "Choose zip from sdcard", and scroll to the ROM.
5. Select OK, and wait for the file to flash.
6. Reboot. This reboot will take a while (upwards of 2-5 minutes), so be patient and don't shut off your phone!
Congratulations, you've successfully flashed!
--------------------------------
Basically I get stuck at option 2 to 3
I didn't opt for the "custom" install (2a-2e) so I just went with the normal install and skipped to step 3
some guy said that I needed to delete certain things from the folder to customize the install -- but I didn't see that in the instructions - I just basically downloaded the seeARMS rom.zip and put it in my SD card and installed it from CWM that way -- was this wrong ?
Bin that ****e mate
1. Remove any lag fixes
2. Download the file
3. Unzip it
4. Open Odin
5. Put the unzipped file (now a .tar file) in the PDA box of Odin
6. Put fone in to download mode
7. connect to pc and odin will pick the fone up and the coms box will turn yellow
8. click start and let it do its thing.
The reboot will take about 10 minutes after the flash.
Add:
0) Charge your battery @ 100%.
0') restart your computer, dont start anything in background, open odin only, check and kill all Kies process.
0'') Make some coffee, chill a bit and you good to go.

thanks guys - I understand fully how to get my phone back to stock 2.2 now.
But I still want to re-flash seeARMS rom again -- the question is how to do it without messing up my phone again. As stated, I posted the instructions above, I get stuck at step 2 - not sure how to go about it to be honest
You need to root your fone then flash the custom rom via Clockwork recovery. The instructions above look ****e mate. With the custom rom you put the .zip file on the root of the internal sd card then reboot in recovery then toggle down to install zip file then choose zip file. You must have clockwork recoverymod working first which you can download from the market

I did this - and the ROM didn't come out and work as good (the home button didn't work) the reason I was told was because I didn't "customize" the installation --- apparently I didn't read the instructions correctly -- which is why I posted the instructions and was hoping someone could explain it to me where I was wrong

here they are :
NOTE: If you have a Bell i9000M, do the following to (hopefully) prevent your internal SD card from dying:
1. Upgrade to JL2 using either Kies (recommended) or Odin (make sure to check Bootloader Update).
2. After the upgrade, download and flash Super Optimized Kernel, which will give you access to ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions to do so can be found in the FAQs (Q1).
(More information regarding the internal SD card dying can be found in Q2 in the FAQ)
To install this ROM:
1. Download and extract the file you downloaded above to the root of your internal SD card (both the "seearms" folder and the .ZIP ROM file).
If you would like to customize your install, continue doing step 2. If you would like a stock install with all the applications + SpeedMod kernel + JL2 modem + Generation X theme, skip to step 3 (however I'd recommend customizing your install. )

"seearms/modem"
3. Boot into recovery, and select "Install zip from sdcard".
===============================================
It's in between step 1 and 3 that I get confused - the customization - it says if you want a stock installation just do you what you told me, select from CWM and install from zip card - but I did that and it didn't work
seeARMS said something about a "wipe" version and that I should do that and I should be fine - i don't understand this "wipe" version I wasn't prompted with a choice for this when I did it
I think your best to ask for help in the actual topic/ thread where you downloaded the rom from in the first place.
I have a similar issue, as I stated on the thread I've opened a few minutes ago...

The best way to revive your I9000m is to first flash JPC (a three file ROM) with 512 PIT and repartition ticked. The phone will still be in a boot loop. Then flash the JL2 PDA without repartition or PIT. The best way to go back to stock! Has always worked for me. I9000m's are not the same as other I9000's and do not flash repartition and the PDA in the same flash! Good luck!

I have an I9000m from bell, and i just used the JL2 from samfirmware with only the PDA file and it worked for me perfectly. I just had to do a factory reset after flashing and everything was back to what bell gave me.
Hey guys, I updated my Galaxy S [GT-i9000] today to 2.2.1 via Kies. I managed to grab the firmware files during the update. A .tar archive containing the .rfs files and also the packed binary which Kies 'decrypted' and uncompressed, generating the .tar. I'm thinking it's possible to add a simple setuid root shell/su/something like that inside this official firmware. I've read around here that it's possible to mount rfs files on Linux and this should allow me to put my root shell. My questions are:
1.Can I flash these modified .rfs files with Heimdall, Odin or anything like it ?
2.Can I perform Kies updates after I do this operation ? (Does it checksum the firmware or something ?)
Thanks.
bump ! bump !
Last year i saved firmware via Kies update .
Saved as JP5_JP3_U_JP3.tar
Installed via Odin
Open Odin
- make sure you UNTICK Re-Partition Checkbox (which is the default choice)
- Choose "s1_odin_20100803.pit" as PIT
- Choose " the tar file you saved as PDA
- PHONE Use MODEM.bin
- Leave CSC blank
- Start Phone in Download-Mode
- Connect Phone via USB
- "Start" Flash using odin
- Goto Recovery mode (see image at bottom) and do Factory Reset / Data Wipe
- Reboot, and wait for full start up. Unplug phone from USB.
- Close Odin.
problems with modem after flash remove modem from tar file then flash tar and modem .

Hey everybody,
I was trying to help a friend, which just got a Samsung Galaxy S to put on Cyanogenmod/MIUI. First, I was following this Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940095 and install the SpeedMod Froyo Kernel. Than I was booting into recovery and want to apply Cyanogenmod and Miui which both resumed a Installation aborted and an Error 7. After that, I was trying to install Darky's Rom to become at least one system running but this gave an error at Settings Permission so the Installation was aborted. I found out that the Error 7 could be because my version of CWM doesn't support only ext3 and Cyanogenmod and Miui are ext4 Roms. How do I become a working CWM to flash Cyanogenmod/Miui out of the misery that I have not a working System. Thanks for your replies!
interesting.. are you still able to go in download mode? if so than flash a rom from samfirware.com (i use JPU) with 3 files + repartition ticked
good luck
For Cyanogenmod/Miui/Sense Installation
Make sure you have the pc drivers for you phone (download kies, thats about all its good for...make sure its closed when following the instruction below)
1. Factory Reset
2. Pull battery out, replace
3. Get into download mode, 3 button combo
4. Open odin
5. Put stock froyo files in odin (from samfirmware.com) I use JPU froyo rom !
6. Tick repartion
7. Plug in USB cable (yellow sign saying added)
8. Hit start
9. wait till phone reboots..
10. Shutdown phone
11. Get into download mode again
12. Open odin
13 Put speedmod kernel file in odin (froyo speedmod !) Put the file in PDA and UNTICK auto reboot and repartion...Important..
14. Hit start
14. Pull USB cable out after flash....should say reset in Odin
15. Use 3 button combo to get into recovery (no need to pull battery)
16. Flash galaxys-efsbackup.zip
17. Pull battery
18. Get into download mode
19. Open odin and put cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel into PDA, again UNTICK repartion and auto reboot.
20. Pull out USB and get into recovery....(DO NOT PULL BATTERY OUT TO DO THIS)
21. Flash MIUI/Cyanogen ROM
22. Get into download mode again
23. Open odin and put cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel into PDA, again UNTICK repartion and auto reboot.
24. Pull out USB and get into recovery....(DO NOT PULL BATTERY OUT TO DO THIS)
25. Go under "mounts & storage" and format /system, /cache, /data, /datadata.
26. Flash GalaxySense ROM
27. After first flash and boot and intial setup always reboot your phone.
Done ! Enjoy the rom
THANKS TO RIXSTA AND g00ndu

Thanks for your reply but I can't find the galaxys-efsbackup.zip on the whole web. where can I download it?
Edit: I found it now, but I cannot enter the phones storage anymore I tried the setting under mounts and storage - mount USB storage. I was able to put the efs backup on the sd card and I plugged it into the phone but I could not find the Folder which contains the .zip I don't know why this happens. I would be so happy if someone have a solution for this.
Edit2: Ok I have now flashed the Stock rom with odin from cyanogenmod and put the Roms in the running System on the SD card and flashed it. Now I have a running sytem after flashing MIUI ROM! Thanks for your Support guys!
Hi,
I have got Galaxy SL GT-i9003. The problem is the /data partition can't be mounted. I have already flash stock rom + pit, but it doesn't solve the problem.
Now is there any HACK I can use to fix it ? right now I am stuck in bootlooping on GB and Encryption unsuccessfull on ICS [EHNDROIX] ROM.
Any Help is Really Appreciated. Thanks.

Greetings;
I don't know if you've solved your problem.
But i'll leave some tips.
First of all i want to mention that:
I also came from an ehndroix ICS Rom when i got that problem.
"emmc" Stands for external SDCard
"sdcard" Stands for Internal "SDCard"
Note: "sdcard" it's not an SDCard. This is the device internal storage with a little bit more than 1.5GB.
If you need to fix the emmc (the "real" external SDCard) you can download and install an application that (usually fixes many SDCard problems and size issues)
Application Name: "SDCard Formater"
Download Link: www.sdcard.org
Also know that most custom roms will resize your partitions; wich usually cause that error.
The common fix for your partition problems is to make a clean install.
For a clean install:
1) Remove SD Card
Note: Remove if you have important data there; or leave it if you will flash a ROM from there.
2.1) If you have CWM Recovery on your Device:
Reboot your device in CWM Recovery Mode.
Select: "Advanced" and Erase Dalvik Cache.
Go back and Select: "Mounts and Storage"
And Format:
- Data
- System
- Boot
- Cache
2.2) If you don't have CWM Recovery:
- Flash DDLF2 Full or Stock Firmware from sammmobile.com
- DDLF2 Full Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329200
- Flash CF-Root (wich Contains CWM and Roots the Device)
- Reboot your device in CWM Recovery Mode.
Select: "Advanced" and Erase Dalvik Cache.
Go back and Select: "Mounts and Storage"
And Format:
- Data
- System
- Boot
- Cache
After that Power Off your device and boot into download mode.
Open Odin; plug the USB Cable; select the files in Odin (note that last 2 files are switched - Modem and CSC)
Press start; and wait untill Odin says "Pass".
Note that 1st boot takes longer.
Also do not remove the cable utill Odin says "Pass"
My device will restart 1 time for each Rom and CF-Root Flash and only then Odin will show the "Pass" message.
I'm not aware of any hacks.
But If there's a way to do it manually for this device (like in previous android devices) then it would be loading into a pseudo "bootloader Mode" wich i think it doesnt exist on this device.
If it does... The steps would be (briefly) Downloading android SDK; locate the folder wich contains adb.exe and fastboot.exe.
Copy | Paste that folder to an easier path to access it through terminal | command prompt.
"adb" will allow you to show all your partitions
"Fastboot" will allow you to erase|format partitions.
But like i said. I tried to do that on my device but without luck. Even with Vendor ID the device wont let me use fastboot.
My solution went to make clean installs.
Please press thanks if i helped you.
This will motivate me into researching more; provide more help; make some applets; tutorials and some more.
@yokowasis You have posted in the i9000 section. Best delete the text from this post and post it in some Galaxy SL thread.

Hi Guys,
Some people faced some problems with flashing stock ROM with Odin, so here is a guide for a perfect flash.
Steps:
1) Download all files attached downwards.
2) Check that you have Samsung Kies on your PC.
3) Install Samsung USB drivers then restart your PC (in this step don't connect your phone to PC or you must restart your PC to install it.
4) Open recovery mode on your phone( volume up + home + power) and wipe data/cache via CWM (if you want it it will be attached downwards), then format your phone with rio's multi formatter to RFS (stock format type)
5) Open odin v.3.07
6) Open download mode on your phone ( volume down + home + power) and then connect it to your PC.
7) Put your ROM in PDA as SS attached downwards then tick PDA.
8) Make sure that Re-Partition is not ticked.
9) Press Start and wait few minutes.
10) If your Odin is stuck in connections, close Odin and Reinstall Samsung USB drivers.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
