would suggest to follow the instructions in the following link to get a rooted GB rom with CWM installed.. you can flash any other rom of your choice after that..
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-jvu-re-gt-i9000.6558/

can i use that if i have XXJVS not JVU

That should work fine. Alternatively you could follow this w*w.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000/[/url]
Hope that helps.

That doesn't work for me because i have xxjvs not xxjpo

Just toggle signature verification in CWM.

In cwm app or recovery?

i can't do that because i don't have cwm recovery
i have android stock recovery (3e)

Flash semaphore kernel through odin that will give cwm recovery
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

does that work on xxjvs?

Stock Recovery doesn't allow flashing unsigned .zip...

i flashed CF root kernel but i still didn't get CWM recovery
i did the same thing about 3 months ago then i was able to install cyanogen mod 9 build 2
it had many bugs so i flashed back to stock 2.3.5
but now i'd like to install cyanogen mod 7 or cyanogen mod 9 build 17

Flashing about any of the popular pre-rooted kernels should give you CWM. Semaphore, CF-root, search around, there are tons.
Flash initially with Odin to get the kernel on the stock rom (Plenty of Odin guides around, it's not that bad to use).
You should be fine after that if the Odin flash goes properly.

The same thing happened to me exactly.I think the only way to solve it is to flash a new kernel but dooes this affect my stock rom? because I haven't done backup yet and I want to keep a restore point to my stock in case anything gets wrong

i flashed CF root kernel but why i still didn't get CWM?

can i flash semaphore 2.5.0 kernel on xxjvs?

Yes you can. Just put the kernel in PDA slot put the phone into download mode plug it in and hit start.

You can flash any custom rom irrespective of android version
so there is no problem in downgrading from 4.0.4 to 2.3.6
but if u want to flash the stock rom then u need odin and after flashing stock rom, flash the recovery using odin
then you can restore from recovery

Well as the person above me replied , if you were using cm7 based rom then just reboot into cwm recovery and restore the nandroid backup (if you made one ). That's all about it. Do wipe CACHE and DATA before restoring.

Bro don't worry.
step 1. download the respective firmware of the region where you live from here
step 2. Make sure you installed the drivers for sgm correctly
step 3. Download ODIN and ops file
step 3. Boot in download mode by pressing home+vol down+power key simultaneously. And finally connect the device to pc through USB.
step 4. Just select one package on odin choose OPS file and the md5 file downloaded in step 1, then start the process
step 5. Boom its done.
Need further help go here.

Just a simple, download cm7 rom and flash same as you flash cm9.wipe data and cache before.

Please don't confuse the OP by giving suggestions about custom ROMs. I guess, he simply want to revert back to stock 2.3.6 ROM.
Anyways you are good to follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31766582&postcount=6

BETA 7?????????? It's the old GalaxyICS build. You should give give a shot again to ICS. Try TheWisp's version. It's perfectly stable and usable for everyday.

[Q] How to flash Hydracore via PC Odin

Hello guys,
So I just downloaded the leaked official JB ROM for my N7000 and flashed it successfully via Odin (I came from the latest CM10 Nightly build).
After that I wanted to flash the latest Hydracore to have my phone rooted, but apparently it comes in .zip format only.
Since I'm not rooted and I don't have CWM now, how can I get to flash Hydracore via PC Odin?
Hope someone has the answer for this, as the internet is just full of bullocks all websites are describing the same non working procedure....
Thanks all

latest jb leak does not work with hydracore. If you want to root use philz kernel zip file and install using stock recovery.

Thanks much
will do so... I already flashed Hydracore and now I'm stuck @ Samsung's logo
Hopefully I won't face such issues again

Well, I've downloaded both v3.65 .zip files (XXLSA and XXLS7) and tried flashing them through CWM which was already on the device.
After rebooting either, it goes into a black screen after the initial boot screen (Galaxy Note GT-N7000).
Bear in mind I had already flashed Hydracore before that...
Any helpers as to what I'm doing wrong?
Should I reflash the stock ROM via PC Odin then flash Philz kernel via stock recovery?
Thanks in advance
P.S. I know I messed up big time

As what my friend nokia said. Hydracore is not compatible with jb leaks rom.
I m not so sure which kernel u r now, since u stuck at boot logo.
And I don't want to decide too fast that u have bricked ur phone.
Just try to flash the firmware again through odin. If u can, and can boot up, try to flash philz kernel from stock recovery.

That's what I'm thinking and doing now, wish me luck
I've also downloaded xxlsa to have 4.1.2 .. according to online tutorials I should flash cf-root via odin, then flash the rom via CWM .. any thoughts?
[Update - 1] phone is ok, re-flashed the stock firmware via PC Odin and it is working now, no problem! tried flashing cf-root, got stuck at the yellow triangle screen and nothing happens ... so I reflashed the stock rom again.
will try now to flash cf-root then boot into recovery, i just might be lucky
[Update - 2] upgraded to JB 4.1.2 successfully and rooted!

So which kernel are you using? and which Jelly bean?

Phone not booting after flashing Rom!

I installed cocore 6.8 cwm on my friend's phone and he flashed a custom Rom and now it isn't booting. He didn't take a Nandroid backup. He says that when tried to flash the experia Rom which worked previously it is getting stuck forever. The same happened when he tried to wipe system data in advanced settings. What should I do now?

Flash stock firmware with Odin. After that root, and play with ROMs again.

I wonder if you could tell me where to download the stock firmware. I'd prefer the official Samsung link.
Also it's there a method that doesn't involve Odin?
Like. flashing the. cocore kernel directly?

You need to put a custom ROM on the SD card then flash it.

First thing that come to my mind is that you instaled GB ROM, and your friend have JB kernel (CoCore 6.8). Post link of ROM you instaled, to see if it was GB or JB ROM.
Second, do factory reset.
If you can go to recovery do this:
Connect phone to PC, mount SD card in CWM (or you use TWRP recovery, mount it there). Push some JB ROM in it, and install it.
I think flashing firmware with Odin is easier, beacuse for pushing zip from recovery you need adb shell, and knowledge of command to push it there. But you can put his SD card in your phone, and use it to transfer ROM too. Just tell him to use JB ROM, not GB.
And if that do not help, I suggest you use Odin method,. Download Firmware, flash it and then you can root it again and use CoCore and some custom ROM.
http://samsung-updates.com/ and http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ are trusted sites for Samsung firmwares.

you could use the device initialization feature inside the smart switch pc software to install official stock rom to your device. all you have to do is put the samsung device to donwload mode or more commonly known as odin mode. and connect device to the pc. go to device initialization on smart switch pc. then type in your device model number and serial number then the software will prompt to install usb drivers if not already installed then the software will automatically download official stock rom and flash it to your device. search you tube on more info on how to use it.
note: i couldn't find device initialization on latest version of smart switch software. you probably use the 4.1.17054.16 version.

[Q] Can't Unroot phone

Hi guys,
I'm not new to doing anything with odin and galaxy s2, s3 phones. But.. I'll be selling my friend's Galaxy S3 MINI, but he rooted his phone and wants to get the warranty back.. So I came on the scene I did everything what was in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150822 . With Triangle away, everything worked just fine, but with the stock_recovery.tar.md5 I have some troubles. I flashed it via Odin, but the custom binary counter jumped on +1 again, but in the topic he said, that it shouldn't raise the counter...
I reset the counter via Triangle away again and wanted to flash in the firmware from this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660
But before I proceeded, I stopped myself and wrote this thread.. Because I have fear, that when I will flash this official firmware, the counter will raise up again(even thought, that it shouldn't, I think it will - like with the stock_recovery) .
So help me please ?
Thank you,
Paul

So I did everyhting from the start... I erased custom binary count with triangleaway. Then I unrooted the phone via SuperSU. Then I flashed stock recovery via CWM recovery. Then I flashed stock rom via Odin: I8190XXAMD3_I8190OXXAMD1_HOME.tar
