I have backup efs directory.
I have backedup my rom using rom meneger.
My recovery version is E3 and i have been told i need a E2 version to flash.
How can i downgread my version from E2 to E2?

Install Speedmod and you will have Clockwork recovery for flashing Darkyy's rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

You'll have to use the Odin version to flash speedmod. Once you've done that, you'll have 2e recovery.

Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 with match with your version with odin it will root and patch to be recovery2e ^^.

if u r not familiar with odin andflashing first instaal z4 control on your mobile phone. then copy the .tar file on ur SD card. then run it wth z4 control. goodluck

which one?

Always the latest Stable version from http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html
Mate, start using Odin 1.7 from my signature. Less semi-bricks.

It depens on your current rom. go to settings>about phone>baseband version
the last 3 letters for example JPA,JPU,JPY... show ur rom type. if it is JPU you should download JPU file.

I guess the latest version works fine on ur rom

Or flash an older stock with odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9731908&postcount=3025

Hello,
We are many frenchs with the same problem : our SGS is on Froyo with recovery 3e, with a I9000POJP5 ROM, which (AFAIK) is'nt listed in any of the kernel. (pda:I9000POJP5, phone:I90000XXJPP, csc:I9000BOGJP1)
We want to get recovery 2e to make our ROM backup, but since there aren't kernel with our ROM specified, we don't know which one use (speedmode? CF-root? JP6 specified?), and don't want to loose the possibility to backup our original ROM.
Have you some advice?

I have installed karnel version speedmod-k12i-500hz #108.
still when i am entering the recovery mode the blue and yellow indicate E3.
when i get the green screen it is indicate speedmod.
is it safe to flash darkey 8 using the green recovery mode by selecting "install zip from sd card" then "choose from sd card" then selecting my zip image?
can i backup my current rom using the green speedmod recovery screen?
thanks again.

Hi vemplord
Before you flash CWM recovery, you can try the attached file. Use root explorer and put the recovery file at "system/bin" and xbin contents at "system/xbin" and reboot. But of cause back-up first. I just did it and it works. Thanks to the dev who post all those files.
Good luck

[Q] tutorial i9000 stock -> custom rom

my friend wants to change the rom on his stock i9000
is there a tutorial or app that can root, install CWM, etc so that i can just boot into CWM and flash a new rom?
thanks
EDIT:
from a quick read, do i do this?:
. Rooting your phone and flashing a custom Kernel.
3.1. Download your preferred kernel (the version for Odin, not the one for CWM).
3.2. Open up Odin or Heimdall.
3.3. Put you phone into "Download mode" and connect it to your computer (DO NOT CONNECT THE PHONE BEFORE OPENING ODIN OR THIS WILL NOT WORK).
3.4.1. If you are using Heimdall, unpack your kernel until you end up with a file called zImage. Select that in Heimdall in the box for "Kernel (zImage)" and click Start.
3.4.2. If you are using Odin, select the file you downloaded in the PDA box and click Start.
3.5. After your Phone reboots, go into "Recovery mode" and go to "Advanced Speedmod ULK features" -> "ROOT / Install Superuser".
3.6. After rebooting the phone again, you should have root permissions.

dont worry, i am well learned from stickies, but this is urgent and considering this isnt even my phone, i dont want to have to study for 500 hours before flashing like i did with my own one
can you just suggest one please?

If it's stock, flash ramads jvt with odin. You'll then have a rooted rom with cwm recovery.

so let me get the process right:
1) download ramads jvt and odin
2) use odin to flash the new kernel which will give superuser and CWM
3) boot into CWM
4) flash the rom my friend wants

Yep. That's correct.

Is he on gingerbread, if so follow the above process - you may need to flash a rooted kernel (chainfires would probably be best) afterwards as pda in odin.
If not on gingerbread, it may be quicker to flash milky's rom, it's got odin and full instructions in the download, and gb bootloaders.

your going to have to explain this to me, im really confused now

It's best to flash to the latest stock rom before installing a custom rom. Ramads jvt is deodexed but does not have root - so if you flash jvt, you will need to flash CFroot kernel after for root and cwm.
Ramads jvt does not have gingerbread bootloaders, so if it is on froyo or eclair, gb bootloaders will be needed.
If all this seems a pain, milky's rom is odin flashable, has bootloaders, root, cwm and also has odin and full instructions in the download.
Hope this is more clear.

I can't install root from zip file from sd card , bacause is displayed 'e:signature vefification failed' . Next time I flash by ODIN file CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS, but after flash phone stops on boot animation. Any ideas how to root phone?

kernel question

So i've got my Note roooted now and just updated from KL3 to a newer stock firmware LC2.
While updating the firmware using CWM, and since wanted to keep root, i think it mentioned something about the kernel was not being updated.
And now after updating, I'm sure it normal but, I noticed that my kernal remained the same KL3, but my build number and my baseband version updated to the LC2.
Question:
is there any perfomance difference if I had not had a rooted phone and went with the kernel that originally came with CL2 as compared to using my old (i guess you call it) rooted kernel from KL3 along with this new CL2 firmware?
Is there a difference between the 2 kernels?
Thanks

Ofcourse Yes... many bugs ll be fixed in the new kernel.

Kernels usually dont get that much updation compare to PDA. And almost newer kernel are identical.
Though you have much version defference KL3 to CL2, better you can update to CF root kernel CL1(CL2 not available, N as such nothing difference whether go with CL1/CL2)
Update it either way, as mentioned below
Download This
1. If you have Mobile Odin
Just extract above file N copy zImage file on your SD card, Open Mobile Odin, Select Kernel Tab, point to zImage file on SD card, you have put.
N Flash
Done, You will have latest Kernel + CWM
2. Extract Above file
-Run Already Rooted
-Enable Unknown sources N USB debugging on device
-Coneect device to PC
-Press any key to Run script
In few seconds, your devices gets rebooted N you will have latest kernel + CWM on successfull process.

Besides the 2 methods you explained, can this also be done using CWM app and/or CWM Recovery?
Thanks

You can flash any kernel you wish from Recovery without triggering the binary counter. That goes for custom kernels as well, not just CF--Root ones.

[Q] android system recovery <3e>

Ok... from the top - I've done a good amount of flashing custom ROMs (B & N Nook and Captivate) and reading on forums but I'm currently stumped. I can't boot into the ClockworkMod recovery - instead I go to the stock android system recovery <3e>. This has been my complete procedure:
1 - Odin3 one-click downloader and connect phone in downloading... mode, click "start" to go back to stock
2 - odin one click "master clear"
3 - Samsung Kies update to Android 2.2 froyo and then Android 2.3 Gingerbread
4 - One click root
5 - Put .zip of ROM on internal sd root
6 - Odin3 v1.82 load ClockworkMod Recovery .tar
Now here is where I am stuck - I have the most up to date ClockworkMod Recovery but I can't boot into anything but the stock android system recovery <3e> (either through the app or by holding volume up and down and powering on) - where if I change the zip file name to update and try to apply update from sdcard I get an error that the signature verification failed. I'd like to install the latest build of ICS but I am just stuck - any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

You'll need a kernel with the non-3e recovery baked in. You can either flash a Gingerbread kernel with CWM (e.g. Boog's kernel) or flash a stock gingerbread rom with CWM in the kernel.

Ok - thank you. I have downloaded that Heimdall one-click .jar file. However I'm having trouble opening it... I feel really foolish ont his but if I extract the files I see a readme file that says I shouldn't be reading it and I have gone the wrong way. But if I open the unextracted file it tries to open in WinRAR and again non of the files seem like a program file that I can just open and run. Sorry about this...

No problem - just double-click the file. The .jar is an executable file that will install the necessary drivers, open the heimdall program, and get everything ready to flash. Once it's ready and sees your phone in download mode, all you have to do is click flash and it will do the rest.

I have now figured out ICS - I think I had the wrong .zip I was trying to install... Does the ICS allow for overclocking?
Ok - my apologies again for keeping going with this (but my main goal is to get to ICS) with that kernel it wouldn't let me install ICS (but I was able to do the latest CyanogenMod). On the Team Hacksung Wiki page FAQ on Galazy S it looks like CM7 kernels don't work - did the one I installed from the above thread have a CM7 kernel?
Does anyone know of a specific kernel I can use to go from stock 2.3.5 so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and install the ICS zip?
I'm sorry - I needed to update or install Java... Then I needed to install the correct drivers - automatically routed to this through the Heimdall program so it was easy enough (I think this has to do with switching between ODIN and Heimdall). Thank you again so much for the help. Time to give ICS a shot

YouTube ics video I had the same issue boog kerneral with cwm baked in it att boot loaders follow the instructions I'm using works great

Flash back to stock 2.1 which includes the 2e recovery which doesn't have signature checks. With that you can flash a cwm zip and get into the clockworkmod recovery. On the captivate you gotta reinstall the the update zip twice, once to install cwm, the other to actually go into cwm.

I wouldn't recommend flashing back to 2.1, as it is much easier to simply flash a kernel with CWM baked in.

That is also an option, both able to be done with several clicks of a button.

i try to enter to APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP
but have the same error :
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifcation failed
i have galaxy i9000b
also have the superuser , 2.2.1 froyo and wanna upg to ice cream or anything new
i read i have to change the android systema recovery <3e> to 2e ??
here i found a lynck with 3e-fix-unzip-uninstall
but these is for Captivate and doesn't work for i9000b ?

Yea 3e recovery has a signature check, and clockworkmod zips are not officially "signed." Either flash back to stock 2.1 eclair which has 2e recovery w/o signature checks, or flash a custom kernel with cwm already included, as suggested above. I cannot speak for if the modded 3e recovery will work on an i9000b.

[Q] Getting cynogenmod 11

I currently have cynogenmod 10.1 running on my phone (i9000). I would like to upgrade the version to cynogenmod 11. Because I get the error "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" I need to upgrade my clockworkmod recovery to version 6.0.4+
But when I try to download this at the official website, there is only an old version (2.5.1.2) available. Which also gives an error when I install it.
Can anybody link me to a 6.0.4+ version of clockworkmod recovery for the i9000?

I could send you a link to a flashable AOSPA kernel, which has the latest TWRP. Just let me know if you need it.

cmw recovery doesn't come as a stand alone flashable zip file on the i9000, it's included in the kernel, you'll have to flash a compatible custom kernel for your installed rom.

This is true in most cases. You should flash a compatible custom kernel making sure it supports android 4.4. You can flash using Odin or Heimdall. I recommend using semaphore 3.4+ or mackay kernel 0.611 (CWM).

Flashing a zip of another custom kernel would be better. He says that he has a Custom Recovery, so flashing a kernel would be better and easier.

However, just to be safer, you should flash via your computer as this will reduced the chance of flash errors. You're right that you can flash via custom recovery as this would be easier but I would prefer to flash via odin. I had always flashed via pc when I upgrade to a newer android rom. NOTE: You will need to flash a .tar file instead of .zip in odin.

Agreed, But it is a pain to get a zImage and to use Odin (I'd prefer Heimdall.)
