how to root and install cwm

guys i really think i tried it all, CF-ROOT doesnt have the files for me (I have JIJVG)
and i also tried flashing using update.zip through stock recovery but it is <3e> recovery meaning I cant install zip files.... wtf can I do? I have another SGS which has ICS on it because i rooted it like a year ago but now I cant find a way for this new phone.... thx in advance

So... this is a I9000 with GB firmware? Just flash a GB kernel using Odin.

You could try going on sammobile downloading a xjw4 rom flash that then root using cf root if you can't find any other way?

[Q] need help with stock rom

I Flashed coderom from tutorial and now i want to go back to stock rom..
My question iso i need to unroot my phone or just flash stock rom from samfirmware via odin?
Thanks

flashing a stock rom will get rid of root so just flash stock rom with odin

Flash it with Odin then everything is erased so nothing will be on your device except a stock ROM no addons.

Thanks guys

Have you tried wiping data/cache before and after flashing in cwm?
Are you on the latest firmware? Most Odin packages are for the Gingerbread stock firmware
Also please mention which rom are you using? Sometimes, you have to wait for 5-10 minutes on first reboot after flashing

Odin generally not support one package roms...
So just Google for odin flashable packages...
And one simple way if any of your friend have galaxy mini just backup his nandroid and restore that backup in your device...

rom? stock rom or custom rom? if custom rom please dont forget to wipe data & cache after and before flashing

My question: I have a SGN infected with the eMMC bug, and I want to upgrade it to the latest stock ROM. I know very little about flashing, and I know there are some risks when doing some things. I would like to know if the first link is safe for me, and which ROM I should use of the ones listed there (I live in The Netherlands). Do you guys have any tips or some guides made for the noobs among us?

that 1st link is the safest and best.
download the rom of. your choice. It. doesn't need to be of. your region. although you can check the latest firmware on www.samfirmware.com....
Once downloaded, use pc odin with the downloaded rom tar.md5 file selected in the pda tab. The connect the phone to pc in download mode and press start.
If you are upgrading to ics, then do not do any wipes, first flash a safe kernel...

Thanks for replying. Good to know that that thread is safe, but what do you mean by flashing a safe kernel? Those terms mean nothing to me.

theres two way to flash ROM. 1 is using PC ODIN and the other one is CWM
Flashing Via PC ODIN .. you need to have two thing.. The Rom You Want to flash and the PC-ODIN software
Flashing Via CWM.. you need two things. You need to root your phone and you need to install CWM.
every rom comes with modem, kernel (the file that govern how to handle your phone cpu), csc... the kernel inside ics is known to have brickbug
theres no need to flash kernel if you are flashing Rom via PC ODIN... Flashing kernel is when you are using CWM....

So, I can just flash any ROM using ODIN, and there will be no risk bricking my device?
If I flash a ROM, will I have a fresh install, and will my kernel also change so that I don't have the brickbug anymore?

yes you can flash any ROM using ODIN safely without bricking your device.
yes you will have a fresh install. your kernel will change too. as for the brickbug....
If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock to what you flashed.the kernel the firmware the csc the modem..all as stock provided....
1.If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug..
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
let say you want to flash Latest JB Rom but you are on ICS stock.
first thing you need to do is root your device ...install CWM.. Flash safe kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
let say ive rooted... installed CWM with safe kernel...
what i always do is everytime i want to flash new rom whatever rom it is...i flash Speedmod 3-15 (safe kernel) and go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash any rom i want so that im on the safe side without worrying what kernel im on.
2.If you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..
if you want to flash custom rom from gb then you root your device and installed CWM and Flash since GB kernel is safe.
but.. let say u flashed ICS and wanted to go back to GB. then you are not safe anymore,,, that is why i always flashed Speedmod kernel 3-15 (safe kernel) and reboot recovery (by going to advance>rebootrecovery) and flashed any rom... that way im always sure that im in safe kernel when flashing Rom

You can download any stock rom you want from searching it on the forum then you can flash it through ODIN using your computer

You Can use odin but be mindful because you might end up bricking your phone its better to flash first dbdata.rfs....before flashing it to stock gingerbread rom

Actually, no, it doesn't matter in which order you flash it in. You can flash the stock GB rom first- you'll just end up in a bootloop. Then just pull the battery, insert and get into download, flash in dbsdata.rfs.tar.

So cm 10 then flash custom gb then bootloop then flash .tar and everything ok?

Not sure about going straight to custom GB- but sice they're just modified stock roms, yes, I believe it should work.

I have done this few times... just flash CM7 over any JB rom, reboot recovery and then flash CM7 again.. after that you can go to any other rom you want.. :good:
