Install 4.1.x on Samgung Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S with 2.3.3 Gingerbread. I never rooted it so look for step-by-step guide to install 4.1.X. I will appreciate any help on that.
Thanks,

Here is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493, just skip this part:
4. Connect phone to PC via USB Cable and open Odin (windows should detect the phone and install some drivers, after it`s finished you should see the message "Added!" in Odin which means Odin succesfully detected your phone so now you are ready to flash)>check Re-Partition Option>press PIT button and browse for the s1_odin_20100512.pit file, press BOOTLOADER button and browse for the APBOOT… file, press PDA button and browse for the CODE….file, press PHONE button and browse for the MODEM….file, press CSC button and browse for the GT-I9000-CSC….file.

It works for JB too, after finishing it, if you had problems with IMEI do this:
1) Download Root Explorer from Play Store and use it to
2) Search you internal SD card for sdcard/backup/efs
3) Copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log paste them into /efs in your Phone memory
4) Reboot to get back your original IMEI
or
you can start from the beginning.. go back to GB 2.36 (use a JVU ROM + Root, upgrade to ICS CM 9 and than to CM10
Solution for i9000 on JB:-Try not to jump from Gingerbread to Jellybean, as all upgrades should be done progressively. meaning you need to be on a GB 2.3.6> than into ICS and finally into JB.
For others, like missing IMEI, NO service, NO network problems, scroll down to EFS problems and Solutions

I managed to install 4.1.1 JB but now cannot pass CWM mode and boot the device... Any idea?

Can you take a photo of the screen you're stucked at?

When i finished the install, i rebooted. Now my phone is booting into CWM only and cannot pass that...

hello!! my sgs i9000 is currently rooted with GB rom (2.3.4. surface rom) and semaphore 1.5.
can i flash from internal SDcard straight to some JB rom ? (like hellybean or c-rom mix)
i dont want to use odin at all : it has never flashed my sgs successfully on the first try, it always need 3 or 4 attempts and i'd like to avoid that step as much as possible, cause im on old GB already.
so hellybean installation guide,for the example, says:
- make sure to have gingerbread bootloaders (<- this step should be done since im on a GB rom, correct me if im wrong)
- flash allinone.zip
- reboot recovery
- flash allinone.zip again
- flash gapps
i have a backup of EFS folder and i'll wipe everything, also should i revert filesystems to rfs before flashing, or will ext4 work too? maybe that point is not important because of partitions being changed (i dont know...).i know there are tons of installation guides but i cant browse everything. so if i just do it like that way will it be ok?? sounds too good to be true. what do you think?

It can be that u have 2 flash custom 2 or 3 times

Just like Donovan662 said, sorry I thought that you've read that in ROM's thread. Actually you need to do it from 2 to 4 times, depending on what ROM you are installing.

God you've made installing new ROM looks like walking on water.. , here are your answers:
1-You don't need Odin.
2-Yes if you have ClockWorkMod you can install new JB ROM.
3-You don't have to convert file system.
4-If you had problems with IMEI check quoted post in my first comment.

It seems I am screwed. I forgot to backup EFS folder and IMEI is now lost. Even worse, i do not remember with which ROM my phone was shipped. No idea how to go from here... Any advice?

@dimsoron
In my case I didn't back up anything, yet I found efs folder in sdcard/backup/efs, so check it first and see what you have, and about the ROM version, it doesn't matter, you can flash any stock ROM even if it's region doesn't match yours, but I'm not sure if that can resolve IMEI problem.

Wow. I found efs and efs-466 under backup folder. What is the difference?
And how can i restore from that?

Hmmm..I have no idea what's the difference between them, but if I can recall right you only need the efs file, and how you do that is mentioned in quoted post in my first comment.

I copied. Device complains that No SIM card. I recognized IMEI is fine now but my phone number is displayed as "unknown". What can the reason be?

Well I didn't go through this before, but I'm sure a lot of members here did and they'll tell you what to do as soon as they see your post, but don't worry since your problem is software related the solution would be relatively easy to apply, you can still flash stock ROM anytime with Odin, but make sure to stop KIES before you do it.
Have a look here also:

To avoid the loss of your IMEI please flash teamhacksungs CM9 build 16 twice before start to flash JB ROMs.

Urgent Sim Unlock help?

Hey guys before I had 2.3 and I had used an SGS unlocker off the market store to extract my nv_data.bin, I then used the samsung tool unlock code generator, when I used this I remember it unlocking my phone. I'm now running a custom JB rom and my network isn't working at all and when I search for it, it says "error while searching for network" I tried using the same method as last time to do it, i deleted my old nv_data and its just erroring in the samsung unlock tool. It's not asking for an unlock code or anything either What can I do guys

I'm still a bit confused friend, I've gone to the sammyfirmware site and I'm downloading the offical 2.3.3 UGKG3 rom, can I just put that on my phone and flash the .zip? If not, where can I get those 3 files above you mentioned, or would it be easier to use this "rescue kit" sorry I'm unfamiliar with most of thing. I didn't think upgrading was going to cause this problem at all. Really appreciate the help. I was going to try Kies but when I plug my phone in the only option i have is to turn on the usb?

[Q] Re-flashing GT-N7000 with Odin3...

Hello,
I have to tell you that I'm completely new at this, and therefore even more uncertain to start doing the job I think that needs to be done, without having you guys consulted first.
Two weeks earlier, after reading and studying the internet for lots and lots of hours, I decided to flash my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (Netherlands), using the Odin3 (v.1.83) software, with the downloaded German firmware version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000OXALSZ_DBT. And fortunately, to my own big surprise, everything just worked out fine and I’m having Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed and running in Dutch.
A few days ago, I read the message on the internet that for the Note GT-N7000, the Dutch firmware version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN, finally became available and was now to be downloaded here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ . And so I did…
As I stated before, I am completely new at this and here are some questions I would like you to help me out with:
1. A little voice in my head keeps saying, that I should “re-flash” my Note again to have the right firmware for my smartphone. Although I would very much like that, would you also advise me to do so?
2. If so, would it be just as simple, using Odin3 again, as I did before (so: “just flash”) or am I thinking too simple now? So, whatever the answer, could you please explain me the procedure I should follow to have the Dutch firmware installed – if so advised by you?
3. I am also thinking about rooting my Note. I have seen several instruction videos on the internet, but most of them were explaining about rooting the Note that still had the Android Ice Cream firmware installed. I am not sure if I could “simply follow” that procedure, let alone, if the rooting software the videos are talking about would also work on an Android Jelly Bean smartphone?
4. If Odin3 also is capable of rooting my smartphone, would it be easier for me (being a novice) to use Odin3 as well for this purpose?
5. Would you please be so kind to advise me in this matter as well with the procedure for me to be followed and the software to be downloaded and/or used?
I really hope to hear real soon from you.
Thank you!
Robert.
1. there is not much of a difference between the 2 firmwares apart from a few widgets and lock screen shortcuts ( i think). its up to you if you want.
2. yes same procedure will just do fine for the new firmware too. detailed tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
3. easiest way is using one of these kernels. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. it will auto root and safe.. procedure requires an SD card. same explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 procedure 1A
4. odin can be used to root but it will cause the counter to raise and yellow triangle at boot... so use the 1A method
5. As explained above

Thank you for your swift reply.
Advising me to use the "1A method", it says:
Installation
1.a Pre installation : (For clean installation, optional)
- Make backup with Titanium Backup or other similiar app.
- First flash GB ROM if you are on any other ICS/Custom ROM
- wipe cache, data from recovery on GB ROM
Would it be safe for me to think that, flashing my Note again, the "1A method" does not apply to me at this moment since I already have the JB ROM (4.1.2) installed and running? Also, when I flashed my Note earlier with the JB ROM (4.1.2) through Odin3, all the data on my phone was kept intact. Was I lucky here, or does that all make sence?
Now, reading most of these forums, I often stumble upon the word "kernel", which frightens me a bit because these "kernels" mostly need to be downloaded for use. What is it, talking about kernels, that you are really talking about then? I mean, I don't suppose that a kernel is the same as my N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN firmware?
You also advised me to make use of this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 but, using this link, I don't see and/or understand WHAT I should be downloading or WHERE I should be downloading this kernel.
Could you PLEASE (!) take me by the hand here (step by step), before I mess everything up and with that, killing my Note?
I hope to hear from you again soon.
Thank you!

- 1A is not from the link you are referring to.. its in the 3rd step.. to root.. donot follow 1A from the first link. its not needed.
- yes.. even when you flash the Dutch rom.. it will be intact if you donot do a wipe..
- the kernel i linked you to is a safe kernel which when installed auto roots the device and install CWM recovery..

OK! Thank you again!
Excuse me for still having some small questions left, although I begin seeing the light...
I've downloaded the kernel: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed (name of the RAR-file). Should I use both the Dutch ROM and the downloaded kernel-file to have them both installed, if so - in which follow-up?, or am I talking non sence here? Or, is the Dutch Rom included in the kernel-file?
I cannot start with the procedure right away, because I have to go to work now; maybe later tonight. I'll also have to find out first how to install the kernell through Odin3, unless ofcourse you could tell me right away.
Anyway, thank you for your help so far.
Again, I hope to hear from you - provided I'm not annoying you!
Robert
Its just the kernel,., its to root your phone.. you can use it on the current rom you have or later after installing the new rom.
is the Dutch Rom included in the kernel-file?

After unzipping the Kernel file in a map on my desktop (see picture), I see three maps with several maps and more files included and the "zImage" file (which I think is the actual Kernel file?). Could you please tell me what to do next to let it all work within Odin3? Which file(s) should I pick and how and where do I connect them to Odin3? In short: ehhh... help?:crying:
Maybe I am making too much trouble out of it and am I seeing bears on the road that aren't even there - If so, I appologize. But please, take me by the hand here... A small relief however: I AM learning from your answers...
I hope to hear from you soon.

[Q] I9070P flashed with I9070 ROM, how to downgrade it to GB?

I've flashed my I9070P with I9070 JB russian ROM (I9070XXLPZ_I9070SERLPZ_SER from SamMobile site) and bricked it ofc. Warranty service wanted me to pay over 150$ for new motherboard, what is pointless with so cheap phone, so i've decided to not fix it. The funny thing is, that when i got back the phone, it actually work, but the phone "think" that it is I9070. Not everything works well and it's terribly slow. There's about 0.5 - 1s lag after pressing each button on a screen. My question is - is there any way to get it back to GingerBread? I can't find any downgrade solution for I9070P and I really dont want to brick it again. I would be very grateful for any advices
After *#1234# I get:
PDA: I9070XXLPZ
PHONE: Unknown
CSC: I9070SERLPZ
I can give you any additional info if it's necessary. cheers
So youre the first one running jb on 9070P
Search the forum for proper firmware and apply downgrade tutorial for non-P version
tapatalked
enjoy the jellybean goodness.. try factory reset..
i think I9070 and I9070p have different pitfiles or partition on internal storage..
not quite sure if it can adapt pitfiles of the former..
if you could hold on for a second before downgrading - you could test some things for other 9070P owners
could you try to root your device using the i9070(non-P) way, as specified here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087424 ? and then try to replace /system/lib/tee folder with files coming from s3 mini NFC version? I posted it on my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/33xwln0d13uhfvq/tee-s3mini.zip - ofc don't forget to set proper permission - in gingerbread they are rw-r--r--
why this? actually replacing /system/lib/tee folder is the way to make custom roms from i9070 and i8160 to work for i9070P and i8160(NFC) respectively. currently we don't have any sources of /system/lib/tee folder from i9070P as no JB rom appeared yet, so "borrowing" it from s3 mini _could_ be some sort of solution
I don't if cwm/twrp backups do include the bootloader, but in case you'd need a "clean" TWRP copy of working gingerbread i9070P rom (no data) - I can provide you with that. maybe that would help better than odin flash
Maybe, if it's the only one I9070P with JB on the world, I shouldn't touch it at all, just sell it to some museum or smth for a lot of money

Ok I'll try to do what u said but... well, it looks like some serious action, i'm not sure if I can handle it. It would be much easier if you write me the same thing in polish on priv, then we post here what we get

btw. can anybody tell me if there's rw access over adb to /system partition in stock recovery? I remember first frapeti's deodex scripts and they were able to make changes on /system partition within stock recovery. as pstysz wrote he wasn't too proficient on rooting and /system editing stuff, maybe it'd be the easiest way to provide him with a plug-and-play (plug-and-pray ) script.
I have copied most of the partitions (small ones, all except cache, system and data) from the phone. GB versions. If you need bootloader or something (except efs) then I can try to create a tar.md5 for you.
I can also give an experimental JB kernel built for i9070p. Never tested of course.
I'm in touch with the OP through PM.
replacing /system/lib/tee files didn't change anything. still modem says "unknown"
And he's willing to test some more things - any ideas?

I hope the OP follows his thread and will try that one and let us know
the other thing is the system drains the battery in 5-6 hours, as the user reports. can you post your compiled kernel, too? I suspect this may be similar to gingerbread, where i9070 kernels caused excessive battery drain when flashed to 9070P
dw, I keep an eye on that thread
@LaizyJumper
There are files with "test" postfix and normal ones, should I copy them all together?

Here it comes.
Just remember that it is never tested. And I have never built kernels for such devices before.
If that does not work then I can try to create a downgrade pack for i9070P - GB. Similar to i9070 version.
Edit: removed the attached kernel - it did not boot

I think it does not hurt if you just copy all of them as they are... I don't really know how those files are being handled / loaded.
Edit:
Here is a pack of files similar to I9070 JB > GB downgrade. Those files are taken from I9070P packages and device.
Nothing is tested. Use it at your own risk.https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64321967/I9070P-recovery-files.zip

Hi, those "tee" files from sola did't change anything, modem is still "Unknown". After changing kernel for i9070P-not_tested-4.1.2-kernel.bin.md5 i cant't even boot my phone It goes in a loop, show Samsung logo for a sec and then reboot. The good news is that I still can run odin mode, but recovery doesn't work for now.
edit: oh, and thx for the downgrade pack!
Ok. Thanks for trying. At least I know now that kernel does not work. I will remove it from here.
You should be able to recover 9070 Jb kernel using Odin if you want that. But it won't make the phone usable of course.

No problem, too bad that did not work out...
I think that phone is cursed or something... I can't even downgrade it. It hangs on Samsung logo, even though I proceed exactly as in "How to Downgrade JB 4.1.2 to GB 2.3.6" topic. Ofc I used files for I9070P. The worst thing is, that I can't charge battery now, so I don't have much time for experiments. Could you help me for the last time?
Have you tried loading an official firmware for your device with Odin?
Firmwares from sammobile.com
Maybe it works after all those steps now. Don't activate repartition option when you load it now!
Btw. does it display I9070 or I9070P when you turn it on? Was it different before the downgrade procedure? I assume that this screen comes from bootloader. And it is important to know which loader is actually present now.
Unfortunately it doesn't help. It shows I9070P but it was like that all the time, even with JB. I think the service fixed bootloader, then saw the flash counter is >1 and send me back the phone because I didn't want to pay for new motherboard (which was the right decision imao). So they left the previous ROM and changed only loader. That's why it worked.

Still nothing new - recovery doesn't work and phone stay on Samsung logo, same as before... I think it's time to give up :crying:

Can't get past boot on Samsung Galaxy Screen.

So I've been trying to fix this issue, when I go into recovery I see this line of text saying E: Can't mount /system (invalid argument) and then again but /system has quotation marks. A friend told me that this could be fixed using TWRP. I have an S3 GT-I9305 49 Optus version from Australia, I'm not to sure if it is LTE international and that the only version of TWRP for my model of S3. If someone can tell me how I can fix this system issue that would be great, I'd like to avoid losing data but if I have to I can deal with it, I've tried using KIES and I have the USB drivers but my PC doesn't really detect my phone and Kies stays stuck on connecting. And also my phone isn't rooted so I believe that I'll have to flash TWRP on my phone. The question is will this rid the issue and is TWRP for Samsung Galaxy S3 International LTE compatible with my phone. I am quite novice with Android so any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Just use odin to flash stock ROM, everything should be fixed after that.

Doesn't flashing with Odin wipe all my data? And do I also need to find the ROM for the version with Android my phone was just or will any do?
Yes I'm afraid it will. But it's the best and easiest solutuon for now. The link I will include is an old post of mine and should show you directions on how to get a copy of the original ROM needed to flash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64784298
Search for "I9305" in the site, not "I9300" ok?
Extract the ".tar.md5" file from the zip and flash that in odin.

This will only replace the software nothing else, I'll still have the modem and everything to make calls or will I need to find those as well?
Jericho's right, you won't need to download or flash anything else except that original Rom & after flashing, everything will be as it was when it came from the shop, I too once faced a problem nearly like yours, but I just flashed the original rom & it helped, the only difference is that mine is the i9300

My Note GT-N7000 don't start anymore

Hi, I wanted to change the ROM of my old GT-N7000 as I recently got a Note 4 but I did what I should have never done.
I wanted to install TWRP to get the Spirit ROM. TWRP app downloaded well from the Play Store and I did it!
When I restarted the Note I stayed with the Samsung Galaxy Note screen and since several days I cannot found out anything to install a new Rom.
I searched the Web, found out a few guide saying to install CWM but I don't have any Recovery mode available now.
I still get the connection in Odin when I put the Note in download mode but that's all.
Please, if someone could help and tell me what to do. I'm a homeless and all my money is going into cyber to search for solutions.
I really need one.
Thanks anyway...
Really, nobody can help?
Hello. Can you install any recovery via Odin? Try to install officiall firmware via Odin.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I just don't have any idea of I could install.
Everything I tried failed or links are too old and things are not available anymore.
I do think I should format or erase everything and reinstall something but what and from where ?
If you can help I would thank you a lot as the phone is unusable since several days now...
Did you tried the firmware way?

Okay, so...
From my old stuff in an external HD i Have this :
ROM STOCK WIPE SAMSUNG - N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_OXA (GingerBread).zip
Rooted Stock Odex N7000XXLC1 (GingerBread France).rar
XEU-N7000XXLT9-20130611091825 (Jelly Bean Euro).zip
In the link you gave me they ask to download a firmware from SamMobile but they are 3 for the French GT-N7000 and my last update was a 4.1.2 working with any provider, even in Spain (I do live in Spain). Secondly, one have to be a premium member to download those firmware.
I think I should be able to install what I need using files I already have but Odin doesn't recognize .zip or .rar files and I don't know what to do. I upgraded the system a few years ago and don't remember how.
I also have no idea if zhat i recently did with TWRP changed partitions size and if it is the case then I have no idea of how to use PIT files.
Also, those guides refer to versions of program not available anymore and sometimes they changed names of buttons...
Have you repartitioned your phone? Those .zip files have .md5.tar files and odin recognise then in the AP section. I think that the 1-st .zip maybe is firmware. For download firmwares only you need to register for free to download firmwares with slow download speed (aproximately hour or two for downloading a single firmware file).

No I didn't change size of partitions...
I finally tested a XEU-N7000XXLT9-20130611091825 (Jelly Bean Euro) I had (don't know where it comes from). Unziped and opened in Odin with the AP button.
It installed this new ROM and the phone started but is not rooted anymore. I have now a 4.1.2 which doesn't seem to be one a got before,
At least I can start the phone...
What surprise me is to see the TWRP app on the phone screen and also SuperSU. SuperSU say the phone is not rooted.
Now, I suppose I have to forget everything about TWRP and must think about CWM no ?
If I want to test and then, install different ROM I sometimes see that TWRP is the one needed to do the job...
What do you think I should do now ?
Root the device using CWM or something different ?
You can try everything you want in the Android development section but this time follow the steps as they are and use the kernels and recoveries that are suitable for the deserved rom. Probably your Note is with custom 4.1.2 now. I am now using my Note with Leanige OS, based on CM12 and android 6.0 and am not having problems plus the phone is running very smooth and fast. This rom is using own Kernel, recovery and google apps(gaps) package.

You really interest me...
I'm surprised cause it's because I found out a guide to instal a 6.0.1 which needed TWRP that drive me to install it.
I'm really confused too because I downloaded TWRP app from the Play Store and it accepted to downlñoad and install the app to my phone. It also accepted to download the Rom and it's when I restarted the device that I met me with an unusable phone...
So ?...
Sure, if I wasn't alive I wouldn't have done that but is it all my fault ????
I would ne glad to get all the steps you did and files you got to install your ROM on mine Ç(as far as it speak french and spanish too )
Is it "Leanige OS" or "LineageOS ?
What about the battery ? The autonomy ?
And I must say I'm a homeless and don't have a computer with a 22= screen in my backpack. Also I have only 1 Gb of data each month so...
Most of the time when I have problem that means I have to go to cyber and this is never free....
Then I cannot really read everyday everything about all my devices ( and I'm not only speaking about phones)
Anyway thanks a lot to everybody who help me...
This is what I use now : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-nightowl-alpha1-t3255536 It is stable and usable as a every day phone. I followed every step Bauner wrote and I don't have issues for now. Battery life depends on the use of the phone and how old is the battery. Mine is 2012 and it can hold 1 day and it is logical.
Try using Kies to restore it. I had to use Kies to update the OS on my bratty little sisters Note as she had gotten it running full throttle all the time.

Hi, I will try now to upgrade the ROM but wanted to ask you if you make any change to your partition size and if yes what did you do, I mean how much place did you allow for the system?
Tell me if your phone is rooted and how you did it and if you have CWM or TWRP installed please...
Thanks
I downloaded those two files:
N7000_STOCK_PIT.zip => In case I have to reinitiate partition size one day
n7000_(16gb)_4_6_8_10_12gb.zip => Cause I think this one should be the one I need.
I suppose I should be allowed to use the ROM I just previously installed which give me a 4.1.2
Well....mine is repartitioned with 8GB internal and 5gb for sdcard0. It is rooted of course with TWRP. Rooting comes with the rom. It has SU instaled and to root the device you only need to go in the dev options and to tick on the root acess.

I am dowloading this https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25384 and I am a little bit surpised cause of the file size...
It should be bigger for a full OS no?
I'm a little bit stuck with this http://opengapps.org/?arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=micro
What version should I get and how did you install TWRP ? The las version of this ROM must be installed with it...
Well I lied to you. I am using Philz touch CMW recovery and sorry for that. The size of the Rom is normal. With the Gapps you just need to hit the download button (red one) and flash it later. Install could be not a big problem. The steps are in the post. If you didn't find them here they are: Copy Rom + Google Apps to your sdcard.
3.flash PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120702299) to get cwm recovery by using odin or mobile odin
4. boot into recovery
5. flash this kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526788121 to get an updated cwm recovery
(this step will make your old rom unbootable stuck in the n7000 screen but you can boot into recovery with press and hold "home" and "volume+" buttons and power on your phone)
6. you need to reboot! your device now to recovery
7. you are now in the updated recovery and you need to do a factory reset (and to go sure you should also format the /system partition)
8. you can now install the rom and gapps and reboot your device
