[Q] Question regarding CSC file + a few more questions - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to try Alerson jw8 2.3.6.. the instructions said to first flash official jw8 rom...I cannot find any jw8 rom for my region, I'm in Saudi Arabia, my fone is as follows

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
now my nooby questions are
1.can I flash ANY jw8 on my fone and it'll work ?.as far as I can tell, the only differences between different stock roms comes from different CSC files...so can I flash a jw8 and use the JPJV6 CSC file I'm currently using with it ???
2.what happens if we flash without any CSC file at all ?
3.and finally can someone plz recommend me a good GB rom/kernal combo..I need speed, tired of all the lag, was thinking of Gamerz rom but found out it does not support RTL languages (Arabic as I'm in saudia).. so what other good options are there.
4. oh and 1 last question... can I mix and match roms and kernals ? can I for example put semaphore kernal in my stock rom and see a better faster/smother experience ?
Thank you for taking time and helping out

1: Yes
2: It will still work. You can simply flash the PDA in PC ODIN.
3: Try XXJW6 with CF Root kernel 4.4 JW4. OR Try XWVZ with semaphore kernel 2.7.4.sc OR Try XWJW8 with speedmod K17-3 kernel.
4: Yes you can.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Dinesh.

[Q] I need a bit of help removing all signs of root/flashing.

I've messed up my efs folder, and idioticly didn't back up, and now my phone doesn't work with my sim card, so I'm shipping it off to Samsung to get fixed up. But of course, I've rooted, used half a dozen different roms and firmwares, and I'm not really too sure how to cover up all my tracks.
I've unrooted using BackfireNL's method for Eclair, before upgrading to Froyo (just to make sure).
In my 'About Phone', though, three things are concerning me. my Baseband, kernal version and build number. My Baseband version is 'I9000XXJPP' and my build number is 'FROYO.XXJPO'. These don't seem very official looking to me. I've flashed the JPO rom from Samfirmware.
And, more worrying is my kernal version.
'2.6.32.9
root(at)sep-35 #1'
(I couldn't put an at symbol cause the system thought I was trying to post a link)
Surely it's not supposed to say 'root' all up in there, plain as day? Is there an official stock kernal I can flash? I've had a search, but I can't seem to find one.
Those are the correct settings for the JPO ROM.
I have exactly the same and haven't rooted yet:

installing ICS stock please reply

hi guys
iam on stock no root 2.3.6 baseband lc1 kernel lc1 buildnumber lc1
N7000 not purchased in india..pcode shows "KOR" in the end
can i install this
N7000DDLP8-------4.0.3-----------2012 May-----------N7000ODDLP5-------------India----- -------------------------------Download Install N Root
and wat does this mean - check for CSC (*#272*IMEI#) if not INU, set it.(this is for indian user, if your ROM is different, it shud be accordingly)
du i have to du anything here??
is it ok to go ahead...coz iam unable to update via kies and ota?
Its perfectly fine for you to install this via PC Odin.
Do it. However ur gonna realise its not such a major improvement to GB. Rather go with CM9 ics rom
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
here it is,
1) Open your dial screen and type *#06# this will reveal your IMEI number. Note it down somewhere
2) Now in your dial screen type *#272*IMEI# (where IMEI will be the no. you got in 1st step)
Since your CSC code is set to KOR, scroll down and select INU and click on install. After installation, restart your phone, recheck step2 to confirm if CSC is set to INU, and proceed ahead with PC ODIN.

I want to flash alliance jb beta ROM
is it safe to flash this ROM on top of my present ROM ?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
flashing instructions from alliance thread is given below

HOW TO FLASH ?
Coming from a non ICS ROM (GGB) or AOSP ROM get to a rooted stock TW ICS ROM first
Rooted TW ICS/JB ROM:
Flash via ROM-Customizer coming from any rooted ROM:
1. Download CustomSettings.apk HERE
2. Put it on your sdcard,
3. Open romcustomizer/flash file from sd and flash as a system app (popup will give you the choice).
4. Choose the ROM-flash settings you want in "romcustomizer/rom-settings" but be sure to tick wipe
5. Then go back to flash file from sdcard where u need to select the ROM(AllianceROM_N7000_JB-XXLS2-Base.zip)

read op in alliance thread..
he says to flash via rom customizer.folow every step and it is not hard.
you should use it and wont have any problem
you can flash via CWM. but it is not reccomended. Thats why op removed the second option to flash via cwm.

[Q] CF-Root confusion, which one to get?

Hello, I just got a Galaxy S i9000t, I needed to flash it with a rom from XDA(The current miui if that matters), and so I looked for a way to put a cwm on it, the way I found was using CF-Root, but when I got there I found so many versions and numbers that I didn't understand.
I noticed that in my device I had software version JVB(This is PDA I guess), and in baseband I had JV7, so I downloaded this and flashed it in Odin:
CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS.zip
The device boots okay, but when I reach the homescreen, it reboots quickly to the logo of the communication network(Hot reboot I think this was called?), and then back into home screen, which then triggers the reboot again, so I guess I did something wrong.
Can someone direct me to the right version for me? I found nothing about JV7 in the CF-Root thread, and if I need another version, can I just flash it in odin after I flashed the wrong one?
Thank you.

i9000T is same as i9000, but meant for specific regions, so your base-band is important for communicating with your home network. , you should note it down and use that when changing ROM's
if you only want Root, you can use Framaroot , if you want CWM you can use semaphore kernel. make sure your version is (froyo/ gingerbread) correct

Are you sure youre in the right forum? There is no 2.3.4 for the i9305. And as far as I know you can't downgrade from 4.4.4 to earlier versions.
The link you posted does not work for me.
Content of refered post:
1. Unpacking firmware
2. Delete sboot.bin and tz.img
3. Copy firmware files in /parts folder
4. Run TAR.MD5_PACKAGER.bat
5. 1 make TAR
6. 2 make MD5
7. End
In /packaged folder your .tar.md5 firmware archive
Not rename your new firmware archive.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As far as I know there is no 2.x version of Android to 9305.
Oldest version You can get is 4.1.
But when You have 4.4, any downgrade will trigger knox flag and make warranty void.
Anyway there is no logic reasons to go back to older system. If you want to change something, you should search for custom roms.
