Old Firmware?

Hey guys,
today I got a used Galaxys I9000, it came with the Kernel-Version: 2.6.29 and the Build ECLAIR.AOJG1.
I saw that there is no compatible root for this Build, so do I have to flash a new firemware with odin or shall I do a firemware update via Kies ?
Thank you very much.

If i were you i would update via odin. MUCH quicker and far less hassle, also you can go straight for a custom rom.

can you prefer a rom ? I would need one that allows me to install cm 9 or ICS.
So it needs to be rooted and has CWM installed right ?.
Im afraid to brick my new phone, some im asking.
thank you again.

I prefer you cyanogen 7.1 or a stock with semaphore kernel.

What is the advantage of flashing a sephamore kernel?

[Q] Anybody from Newcastle (UK)?

hello guys,
I am looking for someone who is able to flash my friends Samsung galaxy s i9000. It has still the Froyo software on it. I successfully flashed my to ics but I am not able to do this with the other device. It has a strange basebuild no. I'm not sure how to do this.
Can anyone help me? I would be really thankful.
Cheers

Is no one able to help me?

The baseband is the modem. Should make no difference to which rom you flash. Is it on eclair, froyo or gingerbread?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Sorry, just noticed you've said froyo. You just need to flash stock gb rom, then the semaphore kernel to match for cwm and root, then you're good to go for any custom rom you wish.

This smartphone has JM1 installed. Sorry but I am an absolutly newbie. I only was able to flash my one with a step by step guidance.
I haven't found anything about JM1 How to flash etc.
I am a little bit desperate now ....

Search for a stock gb rom (jvu/jw1 are recent) with gb bootloaders and follow the flashing instructions using odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Sorry, where do I find something like this? After flashing with Odin I will be able to put ICS from teamhacksung on it?

See perka's jvu thread in dev section, there is an odin flashable download.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Once flashed, boot up, turn off, then flash cf-root kernel for jvu - use the search function to find thread or go to read first couple of pages of perka's thread for a link.
Once you're rooted, you'll be good to go.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Is it this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ?? You mean JVU is compatible with JM1?
Thank you for your help!

If you're friend needs a rom i'd start by either flashing Darky's ROM 10.2 RE with full instructions including a vid tutorial on that thread
or
Flash Jetpack v8.2 with instructions and a vid tutorial in that thread.
The reason why i recommend those two ROMS, is they're particularly easy to flash and have good support.
I'd start with Darky's ROM and then move to other ROMS from there if you want, because it's a fast, very stable rom with a brilliant community for support. Plus you dont need much expertise to flash it, and it comes packaged with root and clockwork mod recovery installed, so you dont need to do anything to prepare your phone for flashing. This ROM does it all. If you wanna move off from there, well then you're all set. But if you're friend just wants a fast stable ROM, then he's all set with Darky. If he wants a bit extra speed, then move to Jetpack V8.2 it's stable and no bugs and its very fast and features thunderbolt! tweaks preinstalled, which are custom tweaks written by a guy called pikachu01 and they improve the SGS very well. They dont require too much expertise to install, but this saves you hassle and gives you all those added benefits from thunderbolt!.
If you're really keen on this teamhacksung ICS build then go to the darky rom and then from there install teamhacksungs build. Just make sure you read carefully to know what you're doing.

Flash a stock gingerbread rom. Then flash a custom kernel like semaphore. After that you can install ics.

Help to downgrade to Gingerbread

Morning,
I've got my GNote running a stock ICS ROM rooted with Dr. Ketan method, temporary CWM.zip / install SUBusybox.
I really want to start experimenting with custom ROMS and such but given the issue with ICS Kernel I want to downgrade to GB, root and have the option to safely mess about without fear of turning the beloved Note onto a paperweight...
I've been reading across this forum a while now and there's a few things I've came across, but I'd like to know the easiest way to revert to GB..
From what I see it need to download PC Odin, a UK GB Stock ROM and install it via Odin.
Anything I'm missing out here? Do I need to flash a safer CF-Root or Abyss kernel first?
Sorry for the questions but this is much different to the HTC Desire I messed with daily without problems..
Thanks,

to revert to GB its as simple as flashing a GB Firmware in ODIN
Then when you are on GB, Flash a kernel like speedmod, Which will give you CWM + Root too ! Or just root the stock GB kernel, which ever suits you
Then flash away

Kinda feel a bit out of my depth here, Given I use the phone for work also I'm reluctant to brick the little son of a *****..
That said, I want to get off of ICS until they (Samsung) sort this issue out
Phone shows Running:
Android: 4.0.3
Baseband: N7000xxLPT
Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000xxLQ2
I have the root i was after, but just wondering if it's worth waiting for a fix from Samsung before i mess about a little more ..
PC Odin seems easy enough - issue is I can only seems to locate a Carphone Warehouse GB UK ROM - Guess this is not full of carrier bloatware?
Damn I'm edgy !

It's easy enough to do but understandably a little nerve racking at first.
You'll find all you need in Dr. Ketan's Stock ROM thread.. As well as full step by step instructions on how to proceed using ODIN.

help about mtd roms and non mtd rom

Hello people of xda
I am really lost here, about mtd roms and non mtd roms
so I know that mtd is a partion scheme which is used in ics roms.
but my question is : I am running overcome with overcome kernel but lately I have been thinking to upgrade to ics(aokp rom) or JB(cm10) so can i upgrade without having to restock and if i upgraded to ics can upgrade to JB without restocking??
and if i do a restock would i lose the unlocked bootloader ??
p.s: i got the tab from my friend and he told me that he already installed cm9 but before that he did a restock then he installed overcome
THx for help

Yes, you can upgrade to ics without restocking.
Yes, from ics you can upgrade to JB without restocking.
No, from GB onward no locked boot loader. That us froyo issue.
Edit: he is right.
To return to GB you need restocking.

Perhaps we didn't make it clear. Overcome is GB based.
And all GB rom are non-mtd.
From mtd to non-mtd , always requires restock with repartition in Odin.

Don't know what you are talking about as "above problem".
CM9 RC1 has no update.zip, it is as it is and I heard of no issue.
now. MTD and BML (samsung's partition scheme aka NON-MTD) are partition tables.
That is a specs of how a piece of disk should be sliced up and how to describe the slices.
You only need to know that CM9 and AOKP ROM uses MTD partition while all Gingerbread ROM for our device uses BML (NON-MTD).
When you flash ICS the first time, your partition will be converted to MTD.
To convert back to BML you need to use Odin/Heimdall with stock ROM that has pit file and you need to select to repartition the device.
Overcome ROM is a famous GB ROM modded by Team Overcome.
http://www.teamovercome.net
"Overcome method" of restocking refers to the set of downloads and guide that Team Overcome recommends to people to correctly restock their device.
It is, in my opinion, the best way to ensure you have no problem install ICS.
I am now recommending you to do that and see if you have problem in CM9
So

Read the guide,

http://tabfirmware.com/2012/01/romk...e-7-series-v4-1-0-♫-overcome-kernel-v4-0-0-♫/
Please note:
- you want to restock using GB-stock-safe and the Odin included in the package
- you then flash overcome kernel 4.0 tar using Odin
- you don't need to wait for the robotic voice to complete the ext4 conversion, just force reboot to recovery and use the recovery to flash ICS from sdcard.
- you need to flash ICS twice because round one converts to MTD and reboot
- you need to flash gapps after you flash ICS

Thanks for all the pain u have taken replying me. I faced problems like camera doesn't work at all.force closes. couldn't find external micro SD card So. My question is that if I want to flash any ice from can I directly do it through CWM ie by clearing caches and instlalling from zip.
And can u plz give me the link of cm9rc1 from link which u said u didn't have any prob...and to apply this or any other ics based rom or jb rom what's the procedure.
PS: I donot want to come back to GB (restock) but just wanted a stable ics.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

I am not using CM9 RC1, so no, actually I said "I heard of no issue".
About restocking. I still recommend it.
You already come this far and manage to install CM9 RC1.
Others has no problem but you have.
Maybe restocking will clear the problem.

So u want me to come back to gb..OK I have seen that procedure, but what if wanted to flash other ics roms like aokp. Should I restock and then flash???
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

actually, frankly speaking there should be no need to restock.
I just don't know why you face so much issue with CM9.
Yeah, try AOKP by Stimpz0r. I am using it myself.
Place the aokp build #40 and gapps in external sd.
Do the three wipes, (data, cache, dalvik).
Then flash aokp, then gapps.
Good luck.

So how ur experience
Btw can u give me the link??? Of aokp stable build

General questions on rooting and flashing roms on note

Im just stating here that I will generally know what you are talking about, im not a noob when it comes to android modding/roms/rooting, however i have always been worried with my note because ive seen lots of threads on devices being bricked.
basically i want to root my note, get CWM recovery onto it, and then flash whatever ROM/s i choose, without getting my phone bricked in the process.
i want someone to advise me on the best way to go about this whole thing, thankyou!
my device:
Samsung galaxy note (not sure if international or not, i bought from kogan.com.au, i live in australia, and have a telstra sim in it, however i think kogan ships the intl model)
android version: 4.0.3 ICS (stock)
baseband: N7000XXLPT
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
BUILD NUMBER: IML74K.XXLPY
carrier: telstra (prepaid, and phone is unlocked)
the main confusion i have here is finding the correct threads for my kernel version, however i couldnt find what i wanted, and was unsure of which was safest, so thanks all for helping me out!

Hello Good Dr. I am about to try rooting via method 1.Rooting with stock recovery. After this am i correct in saying I should flash notecore kernel ? I would be using Mobile Odin to do this as I dont have Windows PC.
What would be safest method to get to ParanoidAndroid JB or CM10 JB from there ? After the Kernel is flashed. Would I have to downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom first then flash ParanoidAndroid ? So your method 1 > flash kernel > downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom > ParanoidAndroid ?
Kind Thanks.

If you want to downgrade to prerooted rom then no need to get root, except you have no option to use pc. In this condition just root n use mobile odin to flash prerooted rom. After successful flashing wipe cache n data and flash cusyom ROM.

So please just to clarify Dr.ketan. If I follow your method 1 to root my ICS Note and then I flash safe notecore kernel via Mobile Odin then I could flash ANY custom rom ? No need to flash a pre-rooted GB rom ? If this is correct would I need to wipe cache and data before flashing custom rom ? Please could you clarify which cache I should wipe ?
Thank you very much.
[Resolved via DM. Thanks Dr.Katan]

After flashing note core.you can.flash custom rom if that is ics based.
Otherwise i recommend to flash preroored gb rom first and wipe all (cache,data and delvic cache)

Can I flash pre-rooted gb rom with mobile odin ? do I need a tar file or will it work with zip ? or should I use recovery mode and a zip ?

Mobile odin can't flash zip.recovery.files. You can flash tar file, and prerooted gb rom is in tar. You can use mobile odin for that

Right now I'm on GB 2.3.6 (not directly rootable) it's ZSLA2... for what I understand from Dr. Ketan's rooting guide is that I have to first downgrade the device flashing a pre-rooted+CWM'ed GB ROM from Chainfire..... ok, no problem.... but, my main question is: once I already have this pre-rooted gingerbread rom, can I (must I) do a hard reset/wipe prior to flash a custom rom?... and, can I FINALLY and DIRECTLY flash the CM9.1 + Gapps files from that chainfire's gingerbread rom version/kernel?... or do I have to upgrade again to a new GB ROM and then flash the CM?.... or even further: do I have to upgrade to a newer GB ROM then to an ICS ROM and only then I would can flash the CM file??....
2) The obligated dumb question: Once I finally flash CM9.1 ROM, it's a must (or a recommended practice) to flash a safe kernel like Franco, Speedmod, Notecore (for safety and/or performance)??
Thank you for your time! cheers

1. always advisable to do all three wipes ( data , cache, dalvik) in CWM if you are on GB and planning to flash another rom from there.
--- yes, you can directly go from pre-rooted Gb to CM 9.1 with g apps
--- when you are on CM and want to go to a custom ics then best to follow the method specified in opening post of the rom thread by developer. all CM kernels are safe to wipe and flash from generally...
2 . Franco , notecore, speedmod are all Touchwiz kernels. a CM rom will not boot with it, its not compatible.there are other CM kernels available that you can use with it, refer kernel repository by Chasmodo

TW and Cm roms have varied/different and many simillar features
you must read through the rom threads for identifying them and choose your rom accordingly

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I'm running 4.0.4 rooted, and would like to unroot it since I have to take my Note to be fixed on warranty. I rooted with temporary CWM and because it's considered to be dangerous now, can I run the Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip from Dr. Ketan's root/unroot thread from stock recovery ?
Just wanted to make sure before I do anything stupid. And yes, I know I could flash to stock GB, wipe and flash to stock ICS but if I could unroot straight from recovery it would be a lot easier. Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, but remember if you have flashed custim kernel then first replace with stock. As well if you have update supersu from market, then first uninstall that from setting -appl -all
