question before i flash again.

well, i have had some issues flashing my phone to 2.3, and it is currently on continuum v5.5 working fine for a few versions. so i don't want to rush into anything and mess it up again, but i want to try another rom. im a little confused to what all i need to do to get the new phoenix rom on coming from a talon kernel.
thanks!

Just use ODIN ONE CLICK STOCK (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and then place the rom of ur choice and flash it in CWM!! tell me if u need anything else

Odin back to stock and follow instructions in the OP for the Pheonix thread.

You need to verify that your current installed kernel is compatible with your new rom of choice.
If not:
1. Find one that is compatible, install it via odin without rebooting - then boot to recovery and install the zip file in cwm.
OR
2. Odin one click to stock and go from scratch.
If going from GB to GB rom then the important thing is the kernel compatibility or you will likely go into bootloop. Other than that wipe, reset and install.

[Q] ok new guy here please help !!!!!!!!

OK first i have googled it and have read many threads so plz dont tell me to do so
and im no noob i have a galaxy fit im jus trying to help my lucky friend who has a galaxy s
iv read around but jus thought ill ask
hes on complete stock here are the specs
model no - GT-I9000
Firmware version - 2.3.3
Baseband Version - I9000DDJV4
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7- [email protected]#2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.DDJV6
now i wanna install darkyrom v10.2
so guys a little help in steps
thank u sooo much

1. Download Darkyrom(version).zip
2.Get into recovery mode(cwm)(Volume up+home+power)
2. Wipe Data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
4. Go to advanced->> wipe dalvik
5. Install zip from sd --->> darkyrom.zip
FINISH!!!
Edit: there are sites that says that you have to install the rom with odin, google a bit more, you don't want a bricked galaxy s

Best answer can be found on the Darky's website. Go to http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php and look for the rom you want to install and they have instructions on how to do it.
I would suggest trying Darky JVU it is the latest and in my opinion the best Darkyrom

bro he dosent even have cwm its complete stock i was thinking if i somehow gget rom manger to work atleast i cAN GIVE HIM CYANOGEN MOD DIRECTLY FROM ROM MANAGER DOWNLOAD REP

Download the latest stock firmware from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Download Chainfire's CWM kernel (link below) for the firmware you installed from the link above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Now that you have CWM, you can download and install the Darky firmware of your choice.

the installation instructions are given in the link along with the download link..
this will give you darky rom 10.2 on your friend's phone which will be rooted along with CWM recovery.. after this you can install any rom which you want using the recovery and the instructions given in the op of the rom you chose.

Bro look at the kernel name -.-

Just install semaphore kernel with odin by downloadin kernel and put in pda slot in odin. Put the phone into download mode by using vol down home and power. Plug phone in and hit start. Make sure you have the drivers installed(samsung kies) and it recognizes the phone. When its done flashing in about 10 seconds it will reboot. Now power down the phone and hold vol up home and power. That will bring you into cwm recovery. Make sure you have darky rom on sd card. Do factory reset and go to install zip from sd card and install darkyrom zip. It will then install and reboot. It will take a while so just wait. If it boot loops put it into recovery again and reflash the zip file again. Please hit thanks and happy flashing!

Im curious, if your on 2.3.3, can you restore a 2.3.5 back up

[Q] i9000 tried to flash CM9...kinda fsck'ed

[email protected],
after successfully flashing CM9 to my Defy I convinced my friend to go to ICS as well...so far so good/bad!
I followed the guide to install CMW recovery and did a backup of the stock ROM.
After this I copied CM9 nightly and the google apps package to the internal memory...apperantely the zip package of the google apps was bad, so i tried to boot into CM9..it took a damn long time, so I removed the battery (OK, bad move...but so be it don't bit*h about it!)..CM9 booted but said someting about "encryption of the storage failed..please do a factory wipe"......I did so, using CWM recovery...which ended me up in a boot loop without having access to CMW recvry.
So I thought, flashing the zImage again with heimdall will have the bootloader rewritten (maybe the 2nd bad move this day) so I can access recovery again...I imagined zImage was kinda like a BIOS of a PC...apparently it is NOT
After some google-f00 I found out I have to flash an official FW from samsung, with repartitioning,using odin, am I right?
But the probel is, that they tell me to do a *#7465625# to find out details about the stock firmware...but this is not bossible because the phone hangs at the galaxy s boot logo.
So my question is...what can I do to access either recovery or the stock firmware with a phone stuck at boot logo (i can boot into download mode) and having only a nandroid backup of the stock rom?
Can anybody tell me what to do without spending 200 coins to obtain another SGS for my friend (Yeah, I told him that the risk is to brick the SGS, but I have a kind of guilty conscience.
Hope someone can help...
Thanks a lot!

Odin doesnt care about whats currently on your phone . Just go to samfirmware. Com, find a nice stock rom (2.3.3) for i9000, and flash it with odin. If you dont know how to use odin: use the search button in the i9000 section ''how to use odin''. keep us updated / or if you have any other questions :thumbup:

hey
when i screwed my sgs, odin + darky ressurection rom helped
i can't post a link , google "Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition.zip" ,though i can't remember if i used that version. some got removed, try to look for a sourceforge link. That still works
and see the reply above how to use odin

Hey,
There are also lots of tutorials on youtube, and other sites to show how to flash an original rom. I also screwed up my install of CM9. And then I followed this guide to get the original rom running again.
w w w.theandroidsoul.com/download-install-xxjvs-firmware-update-galaxy-s-i9000-to-android-2-3-5/
After that, use this link for rooting + CWM:

hmmm... i read from another site there are some custom rom that requires the phone to be in a rooted stock rom or another custom rom...
example:
to install Galaxy S GT I9000 with Orange Amestris v7.3 ROM Custom Firmware you need to be on stock XWJW1 or XXJVU Firmware since the baseband of "amestris" would be on xwjw1 or xxjvu or custom rom with the same baseband...
what stock rom/firmware the phone was in anyway?im guessing gingerbread stock rom? you still got a chance to update it right since you can access download mode...
from what i can remember, i updated my boyfrnd's s2 from gingerbread to official ics from "sammobile".com (remove quote)
then updated it to a custom rom...
well this might be irrelevant but this is how i updated my galaxy s:
well on my galaxy s i updated it from gingerbread stock rom rooted to gingerbread miui then to ics miui andy's version, since im on ics i have successfully tried different ics custom rom like darknight, slimics, elite etc...
hope this kinda help =]

Thanks a lot...I flashed the original firmware (it didn't start properly, but I don't care) and with this was able to flash the zImage again...then I was able to access bootloader and reinstall CM9

Help getting cwm

Hey everyone, i currently own a rooted galaxy s i9000 that runs 3e recovery and a really buggy custom Israeli rom.
I would like to flash another rom but 3e needs rom verification or something like that so i can't really work through it.
I understand that i should use ODIN to flash CF-Root, but the rom has changed the build number somehow so i don't know which version to use.
Some info:
Android Number:2.3.3
Build NumberilotxRom JVH GINGERBREAD V1.1.2
If you could post a link to the right CF-Root and ODIN files i should use and some basic instructions i would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance, Daniel.

Download this "update.zip". Place it in your SD card. Power off and boot into recovery with the 3 button combination (press power, volume up and home button till you see the boot logo) and select "apply sdcard: update.zip". DO NOT DELETE THIS FROM SD. You should have CWM installed now. Let me know if you have any problem.

flash GingeBread 2.3.6(Maybe xxjvu or JW4) and flash cf-root.
you may follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
to use custom rom GB 2.3.6 is a good start, if you want to flash cm10.1 i suggest after you flash CM7(GB) -> cm9 (ICS) ->CM10 (JB) to avoid lost imei.

Need some clarification , hardbrickbug JB?

Hi. I am new into flashing in Android and considering of flashing to another rom , sweet rom to be exact. But there's this hard brick bug that is preventing me to do so. I am currently on Stock Jelly bean and it's too laggy , that's the reason why i wanted to flash to another Rom.
Anyway , is the JB kernel still not safe? As shown in the thread of sweet rom , it states there i would just have to flash my current stock kernel to Philz JB Kernel , to proceed into wipe. Some of the instructions are so foreign to me. Is the risk there? Also , i tried Chainfire's gotbrickbug app and it states i do have. That's why i am afraid into further flashing before i get some more information since i am still a newbie!
Thanks in advance bros!

hi,
asfar as i know you just have to flash a safe kernel
(i prefer K5-5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181599 - touristinparadise.blogspot.de/2013/03/samsung-galaxy-note-jb-download.html) trough odin.
after flashing you have the CWM, from there you can flash every ROM you want
I rooted on ICS 4.0.4 with CWM.zip x) not recommended because the kernel isnt safe (?), but it worked for me

Hmm , SweetROM instructions states to flash Philz JB kernel before wiping and then flashing? Sorry man , i'm quite a bit confused!

you can flash any safe kernel first,, philz or speedmod or hydracore.. as when you install the new rom.. it will replace the kernel with its own
