Hi,
I have a I9000BVJP4 (FROYO.BVJS4) phone bought in 2011 from Orange in the UK. I was trying to root the bastard to get Jelly Bean on it. I coulddnàt get 4zroot to root it, neither Once Click root method (earlier would not reboot the phone and Titanium said it wasn't rooted anyway and the second just said "failed" when it got to the end of the process).
So I decided to use the CF root method. I downloaded the various cf kernels here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 as I thought I needed to match the JS bit. So I tried JS3 which looped on intial screen the first time. JS5 and JS7 just hang on the first screen. Clearly I can get ODIN 3.07 to upload these kernels so I can get the phone to switch to download mode. THe problem is that it hangs and never boot.
I'm a bit of newbie with this stuff but I understand that as long as i can get into download mode I haven't bricked the beast. THe problem is that I donàt know how to out of this situation. I bet it's just a question of finding the right kernel and uploading with ODIN. Any suggestions? I presume the phone is still unrooted (or maybe not now that I have all these kernels uploaded through ODIN?)
Your help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks

Mate,
cheers for this although the XXJVU ROM you suggested didn't work. I decided to give the XXJVT version a go which I downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and I tell you this rocks. I've finally got rotation working again and have got rid of all the crap that Orange installed.
Do you know if Jelly Bean works on the I9000 and how it performs? Is it worth installing on such an "old" device? BTW, I used the same pit file you attached. That did work. Thanks again.

No problem ever . yep, Jellybean works , infact it rocks ! . the stock gingerbread firmware is crap if compared with jellybean . I use cm 10.1 Android 4.2.2 makes my phone butter smooth doesn't matter its quite old though but works like a charm. did you root your phone ? using semaphore kernel ? you have to root it first to install jellybean for XXJVT , here's the link for the kernel :-
http://78.46.194.137/kernels/Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.9.1.tar
flash it the way i told you , you have to select it in the PDA file option in Odin. hope it works for you now .

Get into download mode and re-flash a stock 2.3.3 or a 2.3.4 rom with Odin and it should help fix the boot looping.
any stock firmware .i just downloaded this from forst link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
will it work?
NO ONE??/my * is burning.i got very sow internet,
Yes any of those in that thread, Froyo or Gingerbread should get you sorted out.
i mean first one 2.3.4 jvq veersion in the given link bddy.is it okay?
should i tick re partion in odin or not with this 2.3.4 jvq version?
JVQ is fine.
If it's a 3 part firmware (separate phone,pda, csc), then 515 pit is required with repartition ticked.
hey thefirmware i download is just .exe file.one file what to do
Uploaded it for you.
Just unzip it then add it to Odin.
Double click it as it has to extract, which then will give you 3 files.

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas
Alch
Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.
2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.
Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!
How can i flash Stock Froyo/Gingerbread trough Odin? Can`t find anything usefull @ google
btw i can reach Recovery Mode (CWM / Speedmonk something)
(Kinda experienced by flashing around with my N1 for around 2 years now, but never heard about this Odin Program)
thanks for help anyway

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379853
Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !
Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!
Happy Holidays

Hey guys,
So recently I tried rooting my phone with CF-Root and Odin, and then it went into a boot loop of just the Galaxy S on startup.
I eventually found out about Heimdall and right now I'm running 2.2.1 Froyo with Build XWJSD.
Problem is, that the phone doesn't read the SD card? Like it will see the SD Card, scan it, and say it's finished scanning but then it won't let me access it either in CWM or through the Android UI itself.
Any ideas? I just want to get MIUI installed haha.
Well I just tested the SD card in another phone and it works fine. So it's definitely the software/rom I'm using now I think.
Is there anything I can do to make this work. Maybe like a completely stock 2.2.1, that is guaranteed to work haha? I just need this card to be read. Because even when I plug the phone and run Kies, Kies doesn't recognize the version of the firmware. And If I try to use superoneclick root, it also doesn't recognize the version of the firmware.
So right now I'm using 2.2.1 XWJSD, which stock rom should I install with odin or Heimdall to make this work?
Thanks a lot again.
Head over to this thread and download JVZ (Gingerbread 2.3.6), flash with Odin with re-partition checked, then head over to Chainfire's thread for CF-Root kernel for JVZ and flash that through Odin as well.
Forget about Kies since you'll no longer be using that to update firmware and whatnot.
CF-Root will come with CWM installed, so after you get that done, download MIUI and flash through CWM
Thanks a lot will try it out.
This CF-Root right? CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip
Unfortunately the phone is stuck in a bootloop now after installing 2.3.6 JVZ.
Did you make sure re-partition is checked? If it still bootloops after re-partition then try JVT or some other stock ROM and see if that boots up before applying the CF-Root kernel
Yeah I made sure re-partition is checked, and I installed it with the 512 pit file, unless I shouldn't be using the .pit?
your gona have to reflash the rom or install arom thats already rooted you could try darky 10.2 re or check out puggerduk on tube
Root Galaxy S i9000 and install a custom rom
Hey guys refer to this thread:

MIUI is running based on Android 2.3, I found the Android forum that helps me well enough to do my first flashing and rooting. Here is what you need to try to do:
1. Flash your i9000 with XXJVU 2.3.6 ( Value Pack ):
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/
2. Root your I9000 with CF-Root-XX OXA JVU 2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvu-firmware/
Do everything on the post and you can install MIUI ROM from recovery straight away after that.
Hope this helps. If it does, please consider press 'THANKS' button
Hi everybody, I’m a newcomer to the world of Android and Samsung Note SG-N7000 and I strongly need you expert help.
Yesterday I have rooted my phone running GB 2.3.6 LA6 (non-root, non-wipe) after doing a fair share of reading (I thought), but I used a wrong way. I.o. following Dr.Ketan’s advice and downgrading to an early rootable version of GB, I have followed the method described in How to Root your Galaxy Note GT-N7000 - PC tools&Others - UC FORUM - Powered by Discuz! At http://forum.ucweb.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=27123 thinking that it is a new faster and simpler method. But I was wrong.
Although everything went OK and I had root and a functional CWM v5.8 plus AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo, I also got the yellow triangle and the counter set to 1. Later on I have discovered that CWM was not working correctly and also the screen was displaying “null” for each key typed on the keyboard.
To repair the things I have applied the semiautomatic rooting method described in OneClickRoot – ONLINE by Glevitan (many thanks to him) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783733 downgrading to GB2.3.5 LA4 with Odin to the 2.6.35.7....KJ1 kernel plus manual flashing of the CF kernel with CWM Manager v5.0.
Everything seems to work fine except that I still have the yellow triangle + the “null” result typing problem. I have wiped the phone and I have tryied out another 2 GB kernel, i.e the latest Abyss and Speed Mode, with the same results. Now I am back on the CF kernel with GB 2.3.5 KJ1.
This is the point where I need your expert help on how to cure the 2 above mentioned problems.
Also I have tried to flash with CWM the complete stock GB ROM 2.3.6 LA6 COA from the ext. SD card, but the installation was aborted from the beginning ("Can’t open" file on SD card). The ROM file is <GT-N7000_COA_N7000XXLA6_N7000OXXLA1_N7000XXLA4.zip> which has inside the archive 2 zipped files <N7000XXLA6_N7000OXXLA1_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5> and <SS_DL.dll>.
I suspect that there is something related to the format of the ROM archived files and I have no idea what the extension .md5 is for. I know that this is about checksum, but I have no idea on how to work with it, i.e was the download correct or not and how to get further to the .tar or zimage file. Kindly asking for your answers.
What kind of file do I need to place on the ext sd card, I thought it is a zip file for CWM and a .tar file on the PC for Odin. Am I wrong?
What do I need to do please in this stage in order to get to a fully functional rooted GB ROM with functional keyboard, no triangle plus the counter set to zero?
Any support will be highly appreciated. Thank you!
Big Fella
that sunds like the austalian rom, I myself have been trying to do that, yet u dont open the zip in cwm you open to extract the .tar file on your pc then flash through odin, be sure to put it in the pda section,
when you do this can you reply back and let me know if you can get past the 'factory fs' part in odin, thats where i am stuck
also when you flash the abyss ro your flash counter will go up, if you want to get rid of this let me know

Hey, thanks for using the tool...glad it works. To fix the null issue You will have to flash a Firmware with the CSC file with mobile odin.
The yellow triangle Is solved with the triangle away app by chainfire....or using a jig.
@OP
What i understand is
You are on now
CF kernel with GB 2.3.5 KJ1.
you want solution for two problem
Keyboard null
Triangle + raise counter
OK
just follow this
-Reboot in recovery
-Wipe cache and data
-Download and flash any ICS ROM with PC odin
-Root it
-Use triangle away appl to reset counter
Hope at end you won't have any issue
links needed

How to use triangle
Download and install triangle v1.70 from link above
open it, it will ask to download flasher file, allow it to download
Now select to reset countre, it will reboot in recovery N will do job.
Thank you everybody for taking the time to answer me.
I have solved my problem by using PC Odin for flashing a 3 file GB stock rom XXLC1 OXA Open Europe, which finally has brought me back to normal. Then I have flashed further the single file GT-N7000_COA_N7000XXLA6_N7000OXXLA1_N7000XXLA4.zip getting me back to the original LA6 stoc rom.
I have no idea on why this zip file did not work from the beginning, but for sure I was doing somethng wrong.
The Keyboard null was cured while flashing he new CSC file I guess.
The yellow triangle disappeared due to the stock rom flashing, while for the binary counter I have used the usb jig and the 10 steps procedure.
Now I need to root by going the correct way of Dr.Ketan, i.e. by downgrading first, no shortcuts.....
Many many THANKS again to eveybody giving me these precious advices.....
Hello All,
Have some issues with my phone that i want to run it through you all.
I live in India. I have a SGS GT-i9000
I got it first with 2.1. I updated it to 2.2.
At 2.2, I installed DarkyROM and played around with it. I tried going back to 2.2 after a few days. At that point, the Lagfix was enabled and then the flashing did not work.
I somehow fixed it and was able to resolve it and get the phone working. This was close to a year ago and i do not remember what exactly
I then installed 2.3 and it was working great. However, from then on, Any flashing i do, i get the dbdata.rfs error message and i've to flash the dbdata.rfs downloaded separately for that issue. That works, But again, If i try to flash, or do a Format Internal Flash, i see the problem again.
How do i fix it?.
I tried going back to 2.2 with the 3 file method and then went to 2.3. Same Issue
I just want to format the phone completely and go back to a saner state. Please help.

Installed Froyo 3 File combo. ( since i read it somewhere) and did a Factory reset. Works ok
Installed GB 2.3.6 3 File Combo and did a Factory Reset. Works Ok. No Error Message
And then Installed CM10 and Slimbean. All working ok
However, I come back to my original question: What is the best process to get my phone to complete defaults?.. Like all hidden partitions cleared to how it should be even to the partition format level and so on.

Yes it is 3-file stock JW5 ROM for SGS i9000 (from Samsung) +PIT512, JW5 is not newest, but for example in my country it is... there is already JW8 value pack.... just signup to http://www.samfirmware.com/, then type "i9000" in the search field and check the newest ROM for your country/carrier ... I posted the GB Flash kit cause it is the best way to prepare your phone for flashing any ICS or JB ROM, also for flashing 1-file ROMs downloaded from samfirmware
