[Q] Flashing guide - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
After coming from the Galaxy ace forums I've gotten my hands on a Galaxy S i9000
But after some reading and searching for a step-by-step guide on how to flash Rom's on a Galaxy S and what the requirements are.. I'm kind off a loss now. Reading bits here about flashing By Odin and pre-rooting first, I'm kind off confused now.
Perhaps flame will fall down on me and noob accusation finger will point.
But I hope someone will help a fellow custom rom lover out with a step-by-step procedure or point me in the right direction.
Thanks for your time.

Hey
First thing u need to do is to update to 2.3.6 & root it..(link given below..)
Then look for a rom u like and follow those steps to flash it..if u dont get the step pm me the link of the rom n ill help u out..

Dude, this isnt a help or questions section, this is a development forum.
Go read the sticky threads there is plenty of info there and pretty easy to follow. I read them and had a custom rom flashed to my Tab same day I bought it.
I thank you and sorry I found several guides the only thing that I did not understand is the order to follow what flashing before or after

Before or after what?
Basically all you do is..
a) Root your device (download and use z4root from market)
b) Go to a rom thread and read instructions (Go to the rom link in my signature)
Root your device, download the rom and then follow the following guide..

[Q] First time to root, i'm scared =S

Hi
I have a SGS i9000 , still not rooted or flashed . I also heared that it might brick my phone, so I would like if someone gives me the best rooting tutorial which worked for him
some of my sgs infos :
frimware version : 2.3.4
Baseband ersion : I9000XXJVR
I'm sorry if this topic allready exists, but i'm so scared x)
thx for reading​
first and foremost, backup all data you have on your phone.
then try to understand the consequences that may occur after you root your phone (your warrany might be voided)
watch this video to learn how to root: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55zXmrMFXkU
or learn from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
also if anything bad happens during rooting and your phone gets bricked. don't worry. just keep calm and come back to the thread. you can review a bricked sgs with ease.
happy rooting!
I felt the same way dude...what if i bricked my lovely new sgs?!? But one day i came to this site, see the dark knight rom and just thought fcuk it im goin for it. Rooting and flashing roms takes litterally a few minutes. As long as you follow all instructions exactly, you cant go wrong.
They put the disclaimer in the posts about possible damage but thats only so nobody can blame them. Those few sentences are enough to scare you (like it scared me) into not attempting it but i guarentee you, after your first flash that doubt is all gone and you wont be able to stop modding
I can link you to the exact post i used on my first ever flash if you want....Good luck.

hi pepol, thx for encouraging me, it worked !!!!!
I followed the flashing for dummies tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
I hope it helps pepol who were like me =)

[Q] Idiots' Guide to Rooting, Kernels, ROMs, and CWM

Hi there
When I had an HTC Hero someone posted a very helpful Idiots' Guide to flashing the ROM.
I have spent the first half of the evening trying to root my SGS2, most of which was spent trying to understand why it was no longer working, it was hanging on the S logo. The remainder of the evening was spend trying to find a guide to help me how rooting, kernels, etc work together and how I can successfully root and install a new ROM. It may be I missed it so apologies if I did.
Can anyone help me get my head around all this please?
Thanks
Andy
Try asking your question(s) in the SGS2 (i9100) thread.

comments are much appreciated
you need a lot of reading, please read every sticky of the mini forum
you can take your phone back to stock by flashing firmware through Odin (PC software)
first you will need to be on gingerbread because every rom here is maid for gb
second read about cwm recovery, recovery is what you will need to flash custom rom
follow every procedure correctly and no brick will be in your path
i think im using gingerbread, ill provide SS..
so i need to DL ODIN in my PC(stock purposes?)
if i follow the step by step procedure 100%? no brick will happen?
is there any link for CWM RECOVERY?
google for flashing firmware to mini and you will get Odin
read about flashing cwm, now also Odin will be used and do jot use rom manager your mobile may brick
for 2-3 days do only reading then do what you want to
damn im fxckng scared to flash my phone even though i read tuts bout flashing
nothing to scare for when we are here just clarify all your doubts before doing anything

First you will have to flash CWM
Follow the steps in the link given below:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html#.UDIx1KniaM9
Then you have to install a custom ROM of your choice(according to your specifications)
I suggest Andro-id 3.2
Follow the link below to flash Andro-id 3.2:

And that's it!
