Hello guyz,
I have a friend's i9000 and he wants me to flash CM10.1 on his phone.
Problem is the phone is in 2.2.1 (Froyo) and as fas as i know CWM can be installed on Gingerbread and above. So i went ahead and connected it to Kies to update it, but it stucks on Connecting.. forever and eventually it throughs me a message about activating (or deactivating..) USB debugging). I tried with both USB Debugging on and off and the result is the same. It stays forever to Connecting state.
I tried to find Samsung Stock Roms in 2.3 version but cannot find any. I flashed with Odin other stock froyo's and still the same. Kies won't connect.
So i currently am at 2.2.1 FROYO.XWJSD and i just downloaded ROM Manager and flashed CWM for i9000. Within Rom Manager under Recovery Setup, it says on both Current Recovery and Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2But when i press the 3-button combo it boots to Samsung Recovery..
Any ideas?
Thank you

You will have to upgrade to GB first, root and then continue install ICS/JB. To these, follow this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057161

Hi,
I'm on t mobile with a samsung galaxy s and tired of waiting for froyo tried a kies hack from this forum to download a froyo rom via kies...
Anyway, i now know i downloaded the wrong rom, a 3 UK rom which doesn't allow me into recovery mode. i can get into recovery mode via adb, and i can then attempt to flash a root rom, and it says it installs however it then boots to the same 3 rom...
is there any way i can root my phone or get back to another rom?
thanks very much in advance,

Use the z4root app in the Market to root your phone and then install Rom Manager from the Market which will give you Clockwork Recovery. From there you can flash new roms...
Hope that helps...
I just noticed an app called superuser permissions...does this mean i have rooted my phone?
EDIT: More to the point does this mean i can now download another rom from kies via the kies hack?
Hello,
I own a I-897 Captivate model, and I had a custom 2.3.4 gignerbread rom recently..
Latley I tried to move to cognition becuase the other rom did problems for me..
So I followed the guide, and when I first flashed the kernel I wasn't using any pit file..
So it's just stuck on odin with nothing happening, so I closed odin and rebooted my phone.
Then the phone showed me a logo with phone and computer with X between them.
So I flashed again using the pit then I got to the recovery, where I tried to install the cognition 5.2 without succes, it finished the install, but when I rebooted it just kept switching between the boot screen of AT&T and Galaxy S GT I9000..
So I tried to use my Nandroid backup, but it just won't work, I tried to install it manually and still it isn't working..
So I tried to instal my previous rom and succeeded, but now when I reboot it it just loading the Talon logo, finishes it and stuck on the end of the loading without any action...
So, I can use the download mode and odin.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.
What build number is your phone

I have read tons of time,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod, but it seems when I get to the recovery it doesn't work..
I flashed the recovery through CWM, but its very limited and blue not bright green or yellow as always.
I only got 4 options:
Reboot
Re-Install packges
Wipe user data
Wipe cahce
How do I get my recovery work properly?
That's not CMW that's the regular 3e recovery. You'll need to flash a kernel with CMW built in or one with an alternate recovery (I usually use an Onix kernel)

I've flashed a full gingerbread stock rom, with boot loaders and it works fine,
but now I can't get to the download mode, so I cant flash the rooted kernel..
I'm stucked unrooted, How can I root it?
It's Gingerbread 2.3.3 UCKF1 Build stock rom.
Pull out your battery, Sim, and SD card. Plug your usb cable into a usb port on the back of your computer then plug it into your phone. Hold volume up and down then reinsert your battery, should boot into download mode.

I tried to install cm7.1 to my I9000 phone (android 2.1 was running on my phone, and didn't rooted)... I followed wiki description... I finished "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery" section. But it seems was not successfully (command prompt showed it was succesfully).
The phone always try to boot. I can put into download mode (Odin cannot recognize it ) but can not put into recovery mode...
I don't know how to continue!
Download the samsun kies and install it (for the drivers), then try to flashe it

You must put on the phone the 2.3.6 I9000JVU then installl the CF-Root for it and install CM7.1, but I recomande you CM7.2 or CM9 or 4.0.4 from Elitemovil beta 8
it sounds well... but i'm not perfect in it... i'm greenhorn...
if i understand well i should do this steps:
1) install kies with official driver...
2) find tutorial to install 2.3.5
3) root
4) install cm7.1 (cm7.2)
is it right?
Dirvers ok
huh...
I reinstalled Samsung Drivers and now Odin 1.83 recognise my Phone...
I've got 2 question:
1) android 2.1 was running on my phone... can I upgrade to 2.3.6 directly or at first upgrade to 2.2 and after ugrade 2.3?
2) if I upgrade 2.3.6 official version, download mode will remain?
pls help!
Hi All,
My galaxy note is stuck on the Samsung logo and just hangs there.
some info on what I did.
My phone has been rooted (this has been done a while now still on stock rom)
I put phone back to factory settings (as wanted to start fresh) all was fine still rooted
I got a pop-up message about a update so I installed the update phone rebooted
Then I got another message about a update think it was kernel file update
phone rebooted
Then I got another message about android 4 so installed this phone rebooted and now it just hangs when it gets to the Samsung logo.
I can get into recovery mode.
Any ideas what I should do?
I have done lots of searches but did not want to make things worse (if possible)
Should I try and flash ICS using Odin3 v1.85?
Or should I just send phone back to Samsung?
Flash a stock Gingerbread Rom using PC Odin.Then,if you want you can update to official ICS without rooting or root GB and flash custom ROMS.
Dont wipe anything from the default kernel CWM, see if your storage can connect to PC, if yes then copy CF kernel 5.6 lq3 and Abyss kernel 4.2 and flash Abyss kernel first and go to advance reboot recovery, then do full wipe, then flash CF kernel 5.6 lq3
Hi Thanks for the replies
I checked and I can go into recovery and access the sd card
I could not find the kernels you mentioned do you have a link to them
also when I have flashed both kernels will I then have to flash a rom?
maybe the ginger bread one like NoRmAlY_CrAzY said
I found this one that am downloading
N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)
Should I flash that?
-------
ok I flashed the ginger bread rom using rom Odin and its working i'll have to root again now i'll have to go read some threads about updating to ICS
Thanks Angie
Here is my question: I have a SGS i9000 with froyo 2.2 stock and cf-root, by flashing cf-root i gained obviously root but also the recovery 2e that should be without signature verification. Now if i want to install CM7.2 can i just install it via recovery 2e by renaming it update.zip? or i will brick the phone? On Cm official wiki page about installing they say you need to have gingerbread installed but i'm on mac and i can't flash a gb rom because heimdall is not detecting the file, i also tried with a linux partition on my mac but it did not worked. to get root i used first z4root and then mobile odin to flash cf root with recovery 2e.
thanks in advance to who will help me!
PS: I also have a I9001(see signature) but the phone for wich i'm asking is a i9000!

download KIES for Mac from My Android collections link below, and upgrade your phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 (KIES will do it automatically) than root it with a semaphore kernel to get CWM, before going on to ICS and than to JB...should be done in this manner , do not jump from GB to JB ( you will have less problems)

ok i will try it, but kies from samsung site is not working at all. and moreover i have this problem, i just want to go from froyo to CyanogenMod 7.2 (android 2.3.6 GB). without any intention to go to ICS or JB. Second thing, if i manage to update from kies then heimdall is going to recognise it? Because if not i can't flash semaphore. Last thing i should uroot the device to update from kies right?
Many thanks for your help!
new information: I have installed your version of kies, and it finally recognise the phone, but it say that the device do not support update via kies, what can i do? thanks
Second edit: i researched and now i know the problem is that i cf-rooted my phone. so how could i revert? to cf-root i have used mobile odin after gained SU with z4root. i would had avoided to flash that if i had know that today kies were to recognise my phone! please help me lso if it was a noob mistake.

Ok, since you have installed KIES and working , heimdall should also be working, IF not you can download a latest heimdall mac version, from earlier link to update to ginger bread 2.3.6, before CM..also backup efs. contacts, images etc first, IF you have CWM, you can even do a nandroid backup, before any upgrade .
Always best to do progressive upgrade as it will not complicate the upgrade by jumping from froyo to CM ( which is a custom ROM) . Best to READ the developers Flashing guidelines before upgrade too.
Flashing the gingerbread ROM will automatically remove your earlier CF root, just download your original Firmware for your region from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 , than use a semaphore Kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 this will give you root plus CWM for you to upgrade to CM 7.2
Do not jump, as you need Gingerbread bootloaders for upgrade to CM
Solved!

Ok the problem was with froyo secondary bootloader, that is not recognised by heimdall if connected to a mac, nor to a VM Linux on the same mac. so i had borrowed my neighbour's netbook with windows 7. installed heimdall there and everything went smoothly. Firstly i have flashed a new GB rom, 2.3.6, the newer eropean one, then flashed CF-root for that rom with integrated CWM 3.x.x.x. The only problem was that when i flashed from cwm CM7.2.0 i hade a boot loop, so i had to swith off the fone by long pressing the power botton, then i booted in recovery, now the recovery was cwm 5.x.x.x so i wiped data/factpry reset and wiped cache, from the new cwm 5.x.x.x reinstalled CM7.2.0's zip and the latest gapps, booted again and everything went smooth from there.
Thanks for your help!
