[Q] Help with flashing a stock? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all developers hope you're having a good day/evening
Briefly.. I had enough of ROMs that get wrecked by themselves and I want to flash back to STOCK GB :cyclops: and MOD it the way I want.
So I need the most stable stock, I've heard that value backs drains battery faster tho :'/
Please provide me the ROM with it's link. XWJW8 doesn't even accept any kernel I flash and idk why!
And is there any 2.3.6 that has an Arabic interface?

Common Question

So, im running on CM7 with custom CM kernel, and when i flash another ROM, will i get back stock kernel ? I´m just wondering, bcuz everytime i flash new rom i flash kernel, and i all time forget to look on it. And i have much school now so i dont have time to try it. ^_^
Yes, kernel will change with ROM.
Ok ill flash back stock ROM i dont know what ROMs are best on gaming but Cyanogen is not even as good on 1.5ghz as Stock 1ghz...
How did you measure ?
(Don't use Quadrant Benchmark or something else froyo related ---> cm7 is gingerbread)

[Q] Which rom should i use?

What rom is best and most stable?
JVT stock rom with the semaphore kernel.
or wait for the F1 Innovation ROM Version 15 which is gonna be released tomorrow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058814
thanks for the reply ill wait for the f1 and see
ICS 4.0.3 rc2.1 onecosmic
ICS 4.0.3 rc2.1 onecosmic
love these rom
ICS from onecosmic ist really cool, but think about the problems.
Some Apps dont run with this rom. For me, there ist no connection with MyPhoneExplorer. Also problems with unsing external SD, because it is rooted to mnt/emmc.
After flashing GOA 6.0 and some other custom roms, i am at the moment on doctorz rom 13.1 with no FCs or any other problems. It ist smooth, all apps are running..for me the best rom at the moment.
First thing you should decide if you want a 2.3.x ROM or a 4.0.x release. Then you can decide which ROM is right for you.
Check the screenshots and see what you like the most. I can advice MintBerry which is very fast and good looking, but since it's not based on a Samsung ROM you're gonna miss the Samsung Apps (as far as you can miss them).
Stable - any stock ROM or Stock Rom based; you can speed it up by using a different kernel (try semaphore) and/or tweaks (Thunderbolt's). I don's advise any ICS based ROM: they are still a little away from what I call ''stable''.
As for best... well, it depends on what you think. My advice is to try several ones. Each user has it's thoughts on what they think it's ''best''.
i want 2.3.x because i know ics isnt that stable and alot of things dont work still..
currently im on jvq 2.3.4 flashed with odin ( i don't have cwm because i dont know if it will void my guarantee :/ )
and a user above suggested jvt but i also saw jvz and im wondering which is better ( both 2.3.6 )
I have tried lots of roms, I found galaxydroid 3.3 gave best battery life, but 5.0 lost it. I am currently using mitrerom, and this seems very stable, nice tweaks, boots very fast and thus far have no issues. I am avoiding any 4.0 rom, as they are still all in beta stages and can still have issues. Best thing to do, is see what you like and flash, flash and flash. You cant do any wrong if you read the tutorials and take your time, oh and dont touch the bootloader!!
Buttwad. Why not to post a link to that "mitrerom"? I can't find it anywhere.

can someone post a download link for odin please ?
i cant find it anywhere
GingerReal2 R2.0.0 + Semaphore 2.4.0 i the best
ty all i used stock jvz and maybe ill change it in the future

Myhm... someone can.... first post here...
if i want to flash semaphore with odin i put it in the pda ?
it wont break stock jvz?
ANY kernel in Odin -passes as PDA.
JW1 with CWM-Kernel or SauRom ....
so stock jvz will work fine with semaphore 2.4?
bump :/ this is my last question

[Q] about ROM Slim ICS

There is full hebrew language in the rom?
Also, someone that already work with this rom can tell me please how the rom terms to speed, how the battery life is, there is bugs or stucks?
Thanks for helpers
There is only English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
It's a very fast ROM and I haven't experienced any bugs so far. If I don't use my phone much the battery lasts for about 3 days, otherwise about 2 days.

Thank you
I have more questions:
1) If i will install the rom, what is it the best kernel to install with the rom?
2) There is expected to come out new version soon for the rom or should I install the correct version of the rom?

1) I use MNICS because the battery life is very good. If you want a really fast kernel I would suggest Semaphore.
2) I don't know when the new version is coming out. It's up to the developer. You can install the current version and install the new version when it comes out.
a very good rom,the snappiest i have seen so far.a very good battery life with glitch kernel even with OC to 1.2
Hi guys!
Was searching for some info about switching from DarkyRom to ICS. Found out the Slim ICS is the most suitable. Found this topic. I have a noob question. Installing Darky was always easy for me, but this one needs some preparations.
So: "Download a latest CM9 ROM, My latest Base and YOUR device essentials."
Where do I get the CM9 rom? It's new to me. I am on 2.3.6 DarkyRom 10.4.2 (2.3.6).

Here's where you can get the latest CM9:

Here's the thread for the CM9 nightlies.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592131
CM9 is the ICS version of CyanogenMod. The update from Gingerbread to ICS is a bit more complicated than just jumping around between ICS ROMS, so it looks like Arvind is recommending you make the jump to CM (a big community project with lots of support) and then switch from there to his ROM.
Thanks, I figured it out, but I have a huuuge problem. My IMEI changed. It is something like 04999... I have no backups. Flashing Darky was sooo easy. I have a nice working Slim ICS but with no service... Crap, will try to revert to stock, but I feel it won't help...
Hi lads!
Reverted back to stock rom JVT and vuala, my imei is back! Did a full ODIN flash with repartition as explained in Totallydubbed's guide on his wesite...

[Q] Steps needed to flash another stock ICS!!

Hi There ,
I would like to welcome myself to the xda-developers , i have been exploring this forum for a while, honestly i am so impressed, this is the best forum ever
I think i wil learn looots of things from you guys ...i hope i can help out one day as a pay back ...love you..
My question :
1. i have flashed a stock ICS ROM and rooted it successfully ...
now i need to flash another stock ICS ROM..saudi arabia one to get arabic language ...how can i do that short and safe ?!!
Thanks in advance for your help , and please do make it short as i am not that technical :-(
First things first,
there's currently no 'short and safe' way to get stock ICS due to the Hardbrick bug.Read it carefully-when a dev/mod writes warning in big red letters, you pay attention to it.Although you may get a replacement from Samsung as all you did was flash a stock rom and as long as your binary counter is zero i.e. no 'yellow triangle' is displayed when you start up your phone.
For getting the Saudi Arabia ROM-use this
thanks
well..i have installed stock ics rom from a stock GB rom ...now i am confused should i downgrade to GB first or just use pc odin right away to flash this one as well?...
and thanks for the link ...but searching confuses me even more ...so many ways to flash.i need some that have succesfully done the same thing to guide me..
Newer the better !!
ICS is safe with a safe kernel(i.e. a kernel which is devoid of any wipe data bug Eg. All CM9 kernels, speedmod kernel, franco's kernel). If you wanna stay stock in ICS flash any stock firmware through ODIN and replace the stock kernel with a safe one. If you wanna custom ROM, there are many to choose from. Here also the same procedure applies. Any ROM with a safe kernel. so cheerios and Welcome to the ICS bandwagon. You can flash it over the same with a safe kernel also(I have done safe many a time) but it doesn't get hurt to flash into GB and to be back on ICS. A 33k Note is of more value than a time of ten minutes. LOL.
you can also read this thread to get more information on staying safe in ICS.

[Q] which kernel to flash on 2.3.6

hi
here is my version:
-Galaxy S GT-i9000
-2.3.6 XXJW4
-some 2.6.35.7 kernel
my question is can i flash this kerner to one of those below?
mngb0.5.6
Devil 0.08
Glitch 13.1
SpeedMod Gingerbread
Semaphore 2.7.4
and which one do u prefer for speed and performance?
sorry for my english
Semaphore is standard in a lot of GB Roms
Speedmod would be my preference.. but why?
Are you having issues with it?
You are on JW4 2.3.6 - JW9 is out

i'm new to this there, just want to try some new kernels, see which fits me ye and this one is a bit slow.

yes im on jw4 2.3.6.i thought jw4 is for europe so i downloaded it.can i flash jw9 over this one or do a fresh one?
are there any improvements in jw9.
thnx for reply
got my sgs on december 2012 and this was my first flash ever :/ so like i told i have no experience with this for now, but its not so hard.
I am a fan of GB roms, easier to mod :silly:
Phone slow as in how?
It all depends on what you use the phone for as there are roms out there for multitasking, games, overall use etc...
Im on GB Saurom JW9.. Its stable and well balanced (my preference, I am in the UK)
Or the MesoRom, there are many.....depending on your needs
Flashing a kernel can cause issues, a lot of people have crashed there phones cause they flashed the wrong ones
Read up or PM the developer of the Rom to see whats suited to your phone and other peoples posts.
Flashing another Rom :
If its a GB rom that you want to flash then its JVU First, then Root JVU then Flash your Rom that your wanting to use.
SEE HERE
Let me know if you need more help

thnx for reply i will try that link u gave me tonight.
the gt uses too much RAM and its a bit laggy.i dont use it so much but i like it smooth.on AnTuTu Benchmark i had 3777 score and on Quadrant can remember but i think it was 17xx.
i have like one or two games on it and some apps that i use every day.got rid of some system apps, was experimenting little and i was suprized.had like 190-200 free RAM always.but when i instaled google play it droped like hell 100-140.
after flashing with JVU i can flash any rom i like?4.2.1 JB???
in this curret 2.3.6 i dont have recovey mode.couldnt fix it .tryed 100 times, all possibilities.
i want this ROM to install on my sgs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041928
so can i flash it after JVU???
Yes just follow my Walkthrough and you can install any Rom you wish : HERE
Also If you like my themed rom of JW9 Saurom Thats HERE if you wish that i am using with no lags etc...
Do not flash GB from JB. You need to install ICS first, even for 5 minutes..
Flashing from GB directly to JB will likely lose your IMEI number and that will, depending on your country, leave your phone unable to call, text etc lol
If you know how to restore efs then you can miss out ICS without problem.
