Hi
I have some problems with a Galaxy S GT-I9000
It restarts itself frequently, and sometimes it even shuts down and I have to remove the battery if I want it to start again...
It is running on DarkyROM JVH v10.1 RE (Gingerbread 2.3.3)
Kernel : Dark Core 2.6
Baseband : I9000XXJVO
I flashed SensatioN theme : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042395
and I also flashed Juwe's RAM Optimization script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145
So I really don't know what causes the problem
I also used DarkyROM for a while and didn't have any problem. You could try to reduce the cpu clock using SetCPU.
Maybe the Ram script is the problem, try it without.
Do you have a OC ?
2.3.3 seems to have the problem about memory leak then reboot.
Maybe you can try 2.3.4 ROM
Juwe's RAM optimization should be the culprit. Darky uses his own RAM optimization called RAM Hacks, so the two may not play nicely together. I beleive I even read that the two are incompatible but I can't find the link so I might be wrong.
I would suggest to reflash.
Yeah, its true that the Juwe's RAM optimization incompatible is with Darky's rom.
You can flash it, but than you have many problems like ziko360 in this case.
ok guys I'll see if I can remove the RAM fix script
and see If that resolves the problem
thanks
I don't know it to 100%, but i think you can't remove it easily.
You should flash it new.
u have crowded ur rom with alot..try returning to the stock original Darky rom
Yes, please reflash.
Just consider what a mess is left behind after applying two hacks that more or less, but not exactly, do the same thing:
There will be files changed by one hack but not the other and there will be files changed by both hacks. Then, since you will most certainly not have a backup of the original files, removing the changes made by applying Juwe's RAM Optimization will most probably leave you without the necessary files or half-destroyed versions of them and probably a bricked tab too.
So just reflash with Odin (click on PDS, select kernel, make sure Re-Partition is NOT checked, start, wait a few seconds, done) or with CWM and you should be a lot happier than if you didn't reflash.
The same thing happend to me. I wiped the entire device clean to stock Jl2 how it came originally. This did not help.
I sent the phone back to the service centre in Montreal. I contacted them and they did acknolwedge that it is a known issue. The phones do randomly shut down / restart.
I have a Samsung i9000 which I have rooted with super one click details of my phone are:
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: I9000NEJVB
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000NEJVK-CL649158 [email protected] #2
Build No.: GINGERBREAD NEJVK
My question is this Can I flash this phone with any kernel or does it have to be specific to any of the numbers above (which I do not know what they mean) and if it does have to be specific could someone please tell me which kernel/s are compatible
Many thanks in advance

If you want root with proper CWM recovery you will most likely need to flash a kernel with Odin.
SuperOneClick gives you root for things like apps but you generally still have 3e recovery and you end up with signature failure whenever you try flash something from CWM.
In terms of kernels the easiest one which is closest to stock is CF-Root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
You generally want the same cf-root kernel as the last three digits of where it says gingerbreadxxx.
The rest of the instructions are in the first couple of posts. Fairly long but if you just read it slowly and go step by step its fairly easy.
Once you have flashed this you should have the correct recovery to flash other kernels & custom roms.
NB: Before you start all of this make sure to back up your phone. I would recommend connecting phone to pc & copying entire internal sd card straight to a folder on your pc. Also make sure to back up EFS folder. This is where your EMEI number is stored and you will want this if something goes wrong.
From Cyanogenmod Galaxy S wiki page:
Before you do anything — Make a backup
Don't forget to back up your data. If you have synced the device with a Google account, then the contacts, calendar, Gmail, & select other Google-related data will not be lost and will come back after the next sync. However, you should backup anything you want to keep that is not stored on the SD card:
SMS/MMS messages, Call Log, Bookmarks, Applications; use Titanium Backup or the Astro File Manager, for example, Any application data not on the SD card.
It would also be a good idea to backup everything stored on the SD card in the rare case the SD card must be formatted to resolve any major problems.
MyBackup Root, SMS Backup & Restore, and Call Backup & Restore are all free applications that can assist with backing up your data.
Hi, welcome to XDA man
Firstly everything scubadude said above is fairly important
Secondly; well it really depends on what you're looking for mate. If you just wanna upgrade your kernel (and by the sounds of it you dont really know what a kernel is, or what it does) then flashing a kernel only does so much on a standard rom. Flashing CF root kernel gives you proper root for root apps and clockworkmod (CWM) recovery so you can flash addons and suchlike.
However people usually root their phones so they can install a custom rom, which can improve speed, battery life, functionality and a ton of other things, and that's when people start looking around for different kernels which complement their current rom.
Just wanting a kernel with your stock rom doesn't make a whole load of sense. A ROM is what'll improve your phone.
If you want all the benefits of rooting, i'd suggest looking for a new ROM and flashing that.
If you're unsure of what rom to flash, read around in the i9000 development forum and read through different roms features. You could flash an android 2.3.X rom which would be a gingerbread (GB) rom or an android 4.0.X rom which would be an ice cream sandwich rom (ICS)
Dont ask which is the best rom for GB or ICS please, there are a billion threads like it, and it always comes down to this; read around, look at the features each rom gives, look at any bugs they may have (ICS roms probably have a few bugs here and there where most GB roms are completely stable) and decide if said ROM is good for you.
If you want a very stable, very fast, decent battery life and easy to flash GB rom then i'd suggest Gamerzrom. I'm running it atm.
However the dev stopped developing for it, but i can link you to ALL the files you need to flash the rom and a set of instructions if you'd like. I have a copy of all of them because i flash new roms but i usually go back to it anyway.
Definitely read the development section, you'll find something that sounds good for you.
Oh and for your information;
ICS > GB
and for GB firmwares, in order from newest to oldest, all 2.3.6 firmwares;
JW5>JW4>JVU>JW1
(those last two may be mixed up)
Most GB roms are on 2.3.6 now so it helps to know the above.
Thanks for the reply guys very much appteciated

No problemo, just hit thanks please
I think Gamerzrom is still being developed but it has been moved to another forum. Technorumor blog.
If you want a list of ICS ROMS & Kernels check this thread out.

For a fairly thorough ICS benchmark thread check this out.

For modems check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
As mentioned there are plenty of threads out there asking about ROMS & for every ROM there are going to be people that tell you the one they are using is best. If you are going ICS there is a nice easy tutorial here.
It is for Team ICSSGS. It is an older ICS ROM but development has been slow lately so while it is still good it is running ICS 4.0.3 while the newer ROMS are all on ICS 4.0.4. Having said that it is still a great tutorial & rom to get you started. It goes right from all the files you need, to getting a stock rom in case things fail to flashing ICS. Once you done everything in this tutorial you will be in a good position to start flashing & testing roms to find the one you like.
Oh yes if we have helped hit thanks.
Root is essential if want access to the system of your phone(elusive folders).
Then u can tweak kernel(eg.voltage control or mc tweaker)and improve GPS(GPS aids) or backup your apps and settings with titanium backup.all these are apps u can download from android market.
These are good reasons to root your phone.
If u flash cf-root kernel u will have many options to tweak your phone,because it support init-d(all custom kernel's support this).like supercharger v6 or thunderbolt tweaks this will improve your phone greatly.but u need to READ a lot before going down this road.
Anyway good luck and don't be afraid to root.
ok i think i may have screwed up my phone i flashed the cf-root kernel and phone rebooted. it has now been stuck on the boot animation for an age( blue flashing android word) is there a way of getting it back to stock nejvb. please help this is my only mobile
sorted it thank god found threes firmware etc.
Glad it's sorted

Go to settings/about phone and check your build,then go to cf-root thread and find a kernel that matches your build and flash that.
But make sure that it's the i9000 thread and not the i9100.
There is a MOBILE ODIN,that is quite easy to operate. If u already got root u can flash almost anything.search for it, it's made by chainfire(cf-root, yep same guy)
But u need root to operate
time to do my rom
ok managed to flash my kernel with the cf-jvb kernel. what i would like to know now is "can i now just flash a rom, and could u explain what a modem is and do i need one or is it included in the rom" i am wanting to speed up my i9000 so could someone suggest a stable GB or ICS rom.
many thx in advance for all your help so far
I have just noticed that this new kernel will not allow Wi-Fi connection it will turn on, scan, wont find my connection and then turn its self off. Have I done something wrong or is it just the kernel that doesn't allow it?

According to your opening post. Your build is jvk not jvb. Jvb is your baseband. Which you change depending on where in the world you live, it will make your phone have a strong signal. For example my build is jw5 so I use a root made for jw5. I use kg3 as my baseband because it is the stock bell Canada modem and gives the best signal. Root with jvk not jvb. Gl

Yesterday I just changed from GB (Django Manouche 1.7.1 Spica with OC) to ICS rom from harsh & tonyp (ICS Lite install) and everything goes smooth, fluid and fast, but two problems came.
1) Now my O2x don't see my external Micro SD.
2) I got the call bug present, starting from today, yesterday everything in the calls was fine.
So how many got this problems and how did you get it solve? My major problem is that I'm complete noob in this flashing and modding stuff, my habilities goes only to boot in recovery and install a zip file and nothing else, for that the why I choosed the lite version.
it's time for you to change your rom, i recommended u this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007968 and follow carefully the instruction of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986097 there u go..

sir! do you also know how to set the sdcard as main, not internal memory, using your recommended rom! im not satified on enternal as main, i need some memory for my data games,,, please help
I will try that solution vEget7, I only hope don't brick the phone in the process.
as long as you backup your data, the guide vEget7 states can be used to Unbrick your phone,
i would recommend Topo's rom, since its based on Stefans Rom with a better Kernel, its solid and stable.
also since Topo have finished Coding for O2x, he has passed on his Skills to Carburano, And His DJM rom is just as stable and smooth.
you can get it here.

Hi I am new to this "romming" business. For my u9000 I installed UtterChaos kernel .32. Most to the roms require .35 kernel. And when I try to install SUT LR 1.8 it never works with windows 8 64 bit. I do have CWM Recovery, and I do have superuser permissions. But for some reason when I try to flash a different kernel like CK Kernel Lebay edition, the whole device gets stuck at boot. Yes I have wiped data, cache and davlik. before doing so. I had to then remove the batteries and put them back to start the phone in download mode to replace the boot image from a back up then go do a CWM restore. And I have tried doing factory resets but the UC kernel boot wont change.
Bottom line is, I AM LOST and I will be using this phone for a long time and I can use a way out of this and I need to find a very fast and stable rom with all working features.
What I have:
- .32 kernel
- UtterChaos kernel
- Custom SU
- CWM Recovery
What I need (please help):
- To get rid of UC kernel (boot, etc...)
- .35 kernel (if possible)
- SUT LR for Windows 8 64bit (if possible)
- A really good rom for heavy gaming, performance, stability, something other than GB (preferably JB or ICS)
I may be asking for too much, and sorry if I am, but I can use some help with this phone right about now.
Thanks in advance!
My answer
You can get 35.7 kernel here, depending on what rom you wish to use. Just flash it along with your preferred rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919097&highlight=kernel
For the rom, it really depends on your preference, because the performance is mostly the same between all the JB roms, smooth enough if you don't install lots of apps that stay in the background. Currently, I'm using the XperienceXperia JB rom. It's about as good as the other JB roms, just with Xperia stuff. Also, make sure that you don't put too much load on it, because it might freeze. No kind of software would be able to magically turn our phone into a gaming powerhouse, because it has an old, outdated gpu to start with. So, don't think about running games like Asphalt 8, because it probably wouldn't run.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479460
I'm not aware of a Win8 x64 compatible SUT LR, but I don't think you'd need it for anything besides flashing stock roms.
By the way, what rom are you using now? If you flash a cm10 (JB) designed kernel to a GB rom, it would definitely cause problems.
Sorry for the long reply, I don't know how to make it simpler.
THANKS
Hi thanks very much I am using the stock rom. Thank you sir :good:
And I suppose for any rom I flash the corresponding kernel first before I flash a rom?

I'm not sure about the order myself, but I usually flash the rom first, then the kernel. I do this everytime I want to flash a rom, and I've never had any problems. Have you tried flashing one of the JB roms for this device? If you haven't tried, remember to wipe data and cache before flashing the rom, and backup your current rom just in case something goes wrong.
Recently I have been facing 4 problems
1.Intermittent phone restart mainly while using Firefox browser
2.Poor battery life, need to charge twice a day
3.Phone becomes unresponsive,hangs
4.Cannot do video recording,be it on internal storage or even class 10 SD card with even low resolution ,the phone hangs.
The problems may get solved by factory resetting, but these things had happened before also when on gingerbread and factory reset helped,which means every six months I need to reset the phone.So I was planning to
1.Update or change to better Kernel, maybe might prevent phone restart problems
2.Install permanent custom recovery, so as to backup and be able to restore stock JB ROM
3.Update to Custom ROM running KitKat
I request help on
a.Procedure needed for backup and restore stock kernel, in case anything goes wrong
b.Recommended Kernel
c.Best stable KITKAT ROM(preferably 4.4.4) with least non working functions/features
Is it advisable to update to Kitkat?
What is the effect of increase in binary count? Is there a maximum count after which up-gradation is prevented?
My phone is rooted and out of warranty period.
Please Help

a) Install "Universal Kernel Flasher" to backup Stockkernel or extract boot.img from your Stock Rom file.
b) If you want to use stock rom or a stock based rom, go for CoCore kernel.
c) There is a best rom thread. Just have a look.
I prefer vanir, paranoid and slimkat. Sadly, development of slimkat has stopped, but paranoid gets still updates and vanir is an offical rom with OTA updates. So the choice is yours
I like kitkat and it will not increase your binary counter.
If I flash CoCore Kernel will I be able to flash any of the custom Kitkat roms or there will be a limitation?

There is no limitations. Just on some you might need to flash its kernel first, by extracting kernel from ROM zip and installing it with Universal kernel flasher. Read ROMs thread (the one you want to install), it should be talking about it there.
One final question, I saved the stock kernel.bin file using Universal kernel flasher. How do I create a flashable zip file incase I custom kernel creates problem and phone refuses to boot

You can use the Android flashable zip creator. But do not flash stock kernel to a non stock based rom. If you need to go back to stock, use odin and flash stock rom.
Flash Kit Kat
