[Q] Noob guide - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok i know that it must look very silly to post something like this but honestly i just get too confused.
I am an owner of a GT I9000 Galaxy S with the followning : 2.3.3 / I9000XXJVQ / 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVN-CL366455 RΟΟΤ@DELL86 #2 / GINGERBREAD.XWJVN
I really want to put inside a custom rom with the latest Jelly Bean firmware but i have no idea.
I know that i have to root the phone... but honestly i have seen there are so many things that i get compilated...
I think i should start with a software called odin and then i have to find a kernel (which one) and then a CF (which one) etc...
If there is anyone that could help me i would really appreciate it...
Thank you in advance!!!

u need to upgrade to 2.3.6 first

actually its written there,in da link, u need to download 2.3.6 in ur version or pick jvu (given on da link). if u hit update button on ur fone n definitely no update available.
its come out to this. if u can/know to choose ur own cf root. then its okay to flash juz cf root to ur fone (its for obtaining cwm n root). but if u do not know which one. then upgrading to jvu will be better as da cf root for jvu pretty common here.
flash da cf root with odin by putting cf-root ***.tar to PDA (without pit file) n with auto-reboot check only.
if u cant seem to choose ur own cfroot. then upgrading to jvu is da best method. da link for Firmware jvu+cf root already been given in da link. juz follow it n if u got any question n then u should come here

thanks for the big insights bud..
hey listen, what ROM are you using now? If your on ICS now, download back to pre rooted GB using PC Odin. You look for the Dr Ketan's thread as the kind doc has some links he can show you on how to properly root your phone.
And have a look to my signature for what above said.

flash a stock rooted GB rom via Odin.
It will not raise your flash counter and you will have full root.
Put the ICS stock ROM on your phone and flash it with ever root using Mobile Odin
Then flash ROM of choice
Simply flashing CF-root kernel did not get me full root (could use root apps but couldn't write to system/app)

letters_to_cleo and guitarplayerone advised you better way, but you didn't listen to them and followed different method.
You must have raised your flash counter.
Enter to download mod, (vol down + Home + power)
and read flash counter Lt upper corner. If it is non zero, reset it with Triangle Away after flashing ICS only. Till then you are running out of warranty.

Ya i know about this site already , nithing to worry much. Just method u have used is ok for ics, not for gb (flashing kernel with oc odin). Though i personally prefer not to use even on ics. As it raise flash counter. Though it is easy to reset counter on ics, so this method still popular for ics.
Anyway find toolbox from my signature, and you will get link to triangle away appl. Use that to reset counter, but before this you have to flash ics rom. How to flash ics with keeping root intact - read rom swithch over from my signature.

How do I fully root the Note?

Hey guys, Recently my dad got a Galaxy Note (N7000) and he has been complaining about The Note 2 getting jelly bean and stuff.
I already rooted it for him with Superuser.
I want to install a custom rom for him but I read a lot of topics saying that theres a very high chance on bricking your device using CWM and stuff.
If anyone could post a step by step guide, That would be super-appreciated, Thank you in advance.

He's already rooted and on stock kernel, if he tries to flash a ROM using above CWM.zip or does factory reset on it, he will brick his device.
Best advice is to go Here, download PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-2.7-signed.zip (that's the one that is compatible with his ROM) and put it on external SD card. From there, boot into recovery mode, and flash Philz kernel from external storage. (It's the only one that can be flashed from stock recovery). Then phone will be fully rooted with safe stock kernel and safe CWM recovery. Only then should any attempt be made to flash ROMs from recovery.
Re: CWM.zip READ THIS
Easiest for me is to flash ICS of your choice using Odin. Then flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar using Odin. Select PDA in Odin to use this file. Google it up. Double check that the file you get is for ICS N7000 and that it is the Odin version.
The end result will be a rooted ICS that you can safely wipe. It also has Clockworkmod installed. This allows you to flash custom JB roms. You may get a yellow triangle upon reboot. Just buy Triangle Away on Google Play store. Reset the counter using the app.
But flashing philz from stock doesn't result in triangle, raised counter and need for triangle away. Surely easier

If he has to ask what is xxLRG, thr i wont even advice him to flash custom roms.
Sell the Note and get your father a Note2. Chances are, he will complain of so many things "not normal" once in custom rom, etc.

Official ICS help

Hi guys, my friend has an OB and wants to upgrade to ICS, i've looked on the web and i've seen flashing with KDZ and others, can u link me or tell me how to flash the official firmware. Also if possible, can u give feedback on how smooth it works. Thnx. I personally own a samsung phone so im more familiar with ODIN. Are there any chances of bricking the OB if done the correct procedure? Thnx again.

No its stock gb rom :< he didnt want to root, he's all the offcial type lol unlike meh.
I think the official ics rom gives massive battery drain that's why we choose to install custom ics rom instead try browsing the general forum for the step by step guide of flashing of the ofc rom thru sft,hope i helped

Newbie rooting advice..

I have a UK i9000 that I'd like to flash Jellybean / ICS / custom ROM on and I understand that I have to root and flash a custom recovery first.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this or tell me where to find simple instructions for beginners - I'm a bit nervous about doing it as I don't want to kill the phone!
