That doesn't sound very good, please make this clear for me, did you successfully installed the fresh 2.3.5 rom from point 2?
If you did, try reflashing using "re-partition" enabled with pit file 512
Sounds to me like the internal memory could have some problems.

thanks for your post
after i finish installing the fresh 2.3.5 ROM thru odin & dowload mode with re-partition enabled , it gave the same problem . nothing changed same setting & same apps still exists

i just noticed that if i uninstall the installed apps & delete files and folders in exernal sd
they will come again when i restart the device

wipe the sd-card if u have, go to recovery and wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, download a fresh install JVT or JVS. Put phone in download, then open odin and connect the phone then flash. Hope that helped.

Maybe you should try settings -privacy and disable automatic restore and backup data.

guys , it seems that the device will restore to certain point or image when it restarted. thats why i can't setup a new ROM or make a factory reset.
any idea

is there any way to wipe all the ROM from the device before i install the fresh ROM.
and how can i open the recovery mode

You should try to flash custom ROM.. It worked for me when I had issues with installing stock ROM. After I flashed custom and stock after that, all worked well.
Download JVS firmware. Extract JVS pack: there will be four files: CODE, MODEM, CSC and .pit-file. Go to Odin (don't plug phone in yet).
1. Click PIT and select .pit file
2. Click PDA and select file called "CODE"
3. Click PHONE and select file called MODEM
4. Click CSC and select your CSC file.
5. Make sure you have ticked autoreboot and f.reset time and re-partition
6. Put your phone into download mode (Vol.down + menu button + power button)
Plug your phone in and start flashing.
After the phone reboots, go to download mode again (don't plug phone in yet) Download some JVS based Kernel. Don't extract it. Go to odin and click PDA. Select the Kernel you downloaded. Plug your phone in and click start. Wait few secs till it reboots.
Now, download some JVS based custom ROM from developer's section.
Go to recovery by pressing Vol.up + Menu button + power button.
Go to mounts/storages and select "mount usb". then plug your phone in and move the custom ROM you downloaded to root of your internal SD card.
After that click "unmount usb" and go back to first screen.
Then you do factory reset + wipe cache. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
After that, go to "install .zip from sd card", then "select .zip from sd card" and select the custom ROM you put there.
Wait till it flash and reboots. Try if you phone works.
I have never had similiar issue as you, put sometimes flashing cusrom ROM helps. Hope in this case too.
Edit: BTW, you could always try to format your whole internal SD card

Volume up + Home Key + Power, if you have CWM recovery you can do this
1. go to factory reset,
2. clear cache
3. Advanced-> clear dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
4.flash stock rom using odin (for best results)
6.flash custom kernel which includes CWM recovery
7.flash custom kernel.
Steps 6 and 7 are optional

thanks guys for your kind effort

First, find stock JVT from here: http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares.
I suggest to download JVT firmware, it is the newest. I accidently wrote JVS, instead of JVT.
Speedmod kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519
- you will find download links at the bottom of the first post, download speedmod-kernel-k15i-t15.tar -version.
Simplicity custom ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203047
When you've done those flashes and if you want stock ROM back, just do these steps again:
Download JVS firmware. Extract JVS pack: there will be four files: CODE, MODEM, CSC and .pit-file. Go to Odin (don't plug phone in yet).
1. Click PIT and select .pit file
2. Click PDA and select file called "CODE"
3. Click PHONE and select file called MODEM
4. Click CSC and select your CSC file.
5. Make sure you have ticked autoreboot and f.reset time and re-partition
6. Put your phone into download mode (Vol.down + menu button + power button)
7. Plug your phone in and start flashing (click start)
Attention! There is two different CSC files in JVT package - I chose bigger one.
"kindly note that the device is not rooted.."
That confirms you have no CWM

I have the very very same problem for the past 2 months here. Been looking for solutions but till now haven't solved it.
Hope something works our for you so that I can get this phone working too :s .. I have been restricted to making only calls and messages.

ok... let's try this: format your internal sd-card then flash a stock ROM using odin like you see here
after you have successfully installed a fresh ROM (using odin) you need to flash a custom kernel that has clockworkmod recovery and gives you root acces like this
Then if you want a custom ROM
Volume up + Home Key + Power, if you have CWM recovery you can do this
1. go to factory reset,
2. clear cache
3. Advanced-> clear dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
4.Flash a custom ROM
5.Enjoy
hope this helps

The easiest to start with CF-Root. CF-Root roots your phone & installs all the necessary stuff for flashing. You will need Odin & possibly a stock rom for your phone. These can be downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Remember always do factory wipe & clear cache before & after flashing. Also make sure to do a back up of your stock rom before flashing anything. Also make a back up of EFS Folder in case your IMEI number is corrupted.
I recommend connecting your phone to your pc after installing CF-Root & copying everything that is on the internal sd card onto your pc.
Instructions in first post. It is long and can be confusing but if you read it carefully it is all quite easy.
Next go here (Team ICSSGS) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1398223
Instructions are in first post of thread. (Below instruction copied from first post of link)
Flashing Instructions
If you are flashing from another rom.
1. Flash ROM(new script should handle coming from any ROM, you also need gingerbread bootloaders)
If you are upgrading from an earlier build.
1. Flash the newest build in CWM.
If you have rebooted and your phone will not go past the kernel screen.
1. Boot into CWM and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
2. Reflash the appropriate kernel.
3. Reboot.
If the flashing procedure didn't quite go to plan, please follow this guide
After this install this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
Again all instructions on first post of thread.

http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2012/01/i9000xxjvu-android-236-upgrade-for.html
try that its were i started and ive flashed loads of roms now

Instruction for Flashing new ROM
There are basically 2 methods for flashing a ROM
1. CWM recovery menu mode
2. Download mode.
1. For CWM recovery mode you phone must be rooted with CWM, just put the ROM zip file in sdcard of your phone of your choice. then power off the phone. Then you may want to boot in reovery mode for this use pressing and holding 3 button combination simultaneaously as Volume UP + Home key + Power key now you should be booted in to recovery mode there just wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache from option then find and select install from sdcard -> chose file zip from sdcard and press power key to selct and start flashing. wait max 5 min and your phone will be booted with new rom of your choice.
2. Boot in to download mode by pressing and holding 3 button combination simultaneaously as Volume down + Home key + Power key now you should be booted in to download mode now connect your phone with PC and open odin in PC then select ROM file as PDA, PHONE & CSC under propoer boxes then click start - wait max 5 min and you phone will be booted in to new rom.

It's JVU I have XWJW1 does that matter ? or will my phone become JVU after ?

Where to start ?

Spent quite some time searching through the forum but I'd still like a few pointers on where to start particularly (in which order).
Like;
1) Root
2) CWM
3) ROM Manager
4) SuperUser
5) Odin
6) Data wipe
7) Binary count reset
8) Recovery Manager
9) Custom ROMS
(EVEN THOUGH I'VE NUMBERED THEM, IT'S NOT LIKE I KNOW THE ORDER, JUST IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING)
So here are my main questions:
1) In which order do I install them ?
2) Is there any relationship between them? (i.e. I thought ROM Manager let you install CWM and with CWM you can get to Recovery manager or something...)
3) Do I need the Recovery manager for recovery or for installation of custom ROMS?
4) What is the point of getting custom ROMS when I get root ?
Phone: GT-I8190
Android: 4.1.1
Baseband/Build: I8190XXALJL
Thanks in advance, and apologies for asking same question if there is a thread around here about it.
I'd prefer ppl to explain rather than referring to other threads as that got me a little confused before. (you may still refer if that thread is clear enough)

Ok. The order is
1- Root (superuser comes with it)
2- CWM
3-see the right rom for u
4- wipe data, cache, and dalvic in advanced, to flash rom
5-reset counter when u flash anthing in odin u will have a yello triangle to remove u have to reset counter ( does not effect the phone
Press like if i helped u

Could u explain 3 a bit more ?
Also is there any relationship between CWM, ROM manager, custom ROMS and Recovery Manager ?

Go to development forum, pick one of the pre rooted firmwares and flash via odin. Then install rommanager app from tbe play store and flash cwm recovery. Don't worry about binary count coz triangle away app works on our phone. If you want to wipe the phone reboot to recovery and wipe data. To boot into recovery use the quick boot app from play store.

...and most important.. Don't forget to make a full nandroid backup in recovery before you start to apply mods and other things
Might come in handy if the phone fails to boot!

Should note that after custom rom you can't get access software update through kies air. At least I can't :-\

So if I understand this the right way; CWM recovery has custom ROMS or am I getting the wrong idea ? - Why do I need it ?
(It's just that I've been a little confused because of the mass information available on XDA, so bear with me if I'm a bit annoying

Which would you prefer; Nandroid or Titanium ?
Do I need "busybox" for anything ?

Do I need Kies to connect my phone to PC btw ?
Another question: There are two recovery images on the official site of CWM, do we need to choose the normal one or the touch and what about the ROMS, do I need to install those seperately ?

With cwm or any other custom recovery you will be able to install zip files with mods, tweaks, roms, and so on. Simply put, non-samsung-signed-things + other functions as well.
You wont find many custom roms for s3mini yet wich it to be flashed through cwm. For now i think theres only BenzRom but I guess more will come
Nandroid or Titanium ? BOTH!
Nandroid for restore if something goes really bad, and remember to make sure you have a backup before you apply changes or mods. If you dont like it you can easily go back to previous state without flashing new firmware and have to install all your apps from scratch.
You will be just where you were at the time the nandroid was made.
Titanium backup to backup your apps and appdata. When installing new rom you can simply restore all your apps and appdata without downloading everything again. Do not restore systemdata. It often leads to alot of trouble.
Just make sure you save all your backups on your external sd, so it won't get wiped by mistake.
Busybox is needed if you want more than just root so go ahead and install.

Last couple of questions for now (apologies ) ;
1)Do I need Kies to connect my phone to PC btw, cuz I read something about USB debugging mode to be turned on and ADB...
2)There are two recovery images on the official site of CWM, do we need to choose the normal one or the touch and what about the ROMS, do I need to install those seperately ?
3)So every time we flash another ROM it has a chance to brick or are we safe if we made a backup beforehand ?
4)What format should I format my card to ? - FAT32, NTFS, ext4 or ...?
5)Does data wipe erase all data on phone or phone and sd card ?
6)Given both CWM and Odin flash what would be more recommended ?

No worries. Better be safe than sorry
1. No, you dont need keis unless you want to look for official updates.
For filetransfer I use Airdroid or box/dropdox/4shared. Official updates will be available to download anyway
Adb (Android Debug Bridge) is just a terminal. I won't go in to details here but you will find lots of threads on how to install and use it if you search xda.
2. They both do the same thing, but in touch-version you make your choices on touch screen while the other one is managed with phones physical buttons. I prefer the latest.
Roms for cwm are packed as .zip & are downloaded separately. As I said before there isn't much to chose from for our device yet.
3. Everything done after root is a risk. Even root can be dangerous if it's not done right.
Usually if something goes wrong it will just lead to a softbrick wich can be fixed in download mode or recovery.
Once rooted, make sure you do that cwm-backup to keep on your external sd. It's also a good idea to keep an odin flashable firmware on your computer, just to be sure.
4. Go for fat32. It can be changed later if you want to explore link2sd, sd-swap etc..
5. Factory reset will wipe all internal, but not your external sd.
6. cwm makes it possible to flash custom roms while odin can't. You need odin to flash official samsung firmware, but cwm to flash custom roms, mods, and so on. Can't really compare those two with each other, as they are used for different things.
:good:

Dated, but still very relevant.

What should I do for wired transfers only, I mean.
Do I need to search for the phone specific driver for pc at Official Samsung site or is there no driver ?
Any other things I need to turn on except USB debugging mode when wired ?
Edit: Nvm, just got on the right track again

[Q] Flashing/updating questions

I'm trying to update my I9001 from 2.3.6 to whatever is the "best" ROM nowadays (this one?. The problem is, I have no idea how to do it. I've read tons of FAQs and How-tos and still I'm pretty much lost. I've managed to root my phone (hooray), but what's next? Do I just load up Odin, put my phone to download mode, select the proper files in the program and flash away? What's all this CMW recovery mode stuff?
Thanks and sorry for noobishness.

If you want a custom rom, first, you have to flash a custom recovery with Odin. To do this:
1- Open Odin
2- Select One Package
3- Select AriesVE.ops in OPS
4- Select custom recovery file in ONE PACKAGE
5- Connect your device in download mode
6- START
I've attached AriesVe.ops and CWM recovery file.
Once you have the recovery installed, just download a custom ROM, reboot into recovery mode (Vol up + power button), do a full wipe (wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache) and install it.
If you have more doubts just say it.

[Q] Do I need an update?

Hello!
I'm new to Android, still learning how to use it. I'ved got an GT-I9000 with 2.3.6, it works fine excepting the battery. For example, the another night I tried to drain it by turning it on even due it was 0%. Left it to charge the hole night. And about 4 hours ago unpluged it, played 40 min. and the battey was at 40%. I don't think that's normal.
I thought I'd give a try at the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 I saw it is the latest. But the I saw the many roms Cyanogen, Slimbean, Mackay, etc. Which one do I need?
And a good tutorial is welcomed 'cuz I don't know ####.
Thanks!

Maybe it is problem with your battery, bad charging, weared etc. In my opinion 4.2.2 versions gives better battery live. No one will say which custom ROM is best - you have to try it itself. As a new user you can use latest CyanogenMod 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2)
If you want try custom ROMs on your phone you have to install custom recovery (CWM).
1) Check your baseband version of the phone (for instance XWJV) and find appropriate kernel:
Code:
www.semaphore.gr/downloads/i9000
. Check 'USB Debugging' in Applications -> Development.
2) Install it via Odin as PDA file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 (Download Mode = Volume Down+Home+Power)
2*) If there isn't your version you can try installing 3-file JVZ ROM with Re-Partition and PIT file - then use Semaphore JVZ kernel (but be careful with it, i made it with this version and someone other may give you safer way). Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 or
Code:
hotfile. com/dl/136940891/b232b26/I9000XWJVZ_I9000OXAJVT_OXA.rar.html
3) After you got your custom recovery and root you should make EFS backup (IMEI) and copy it into PC - you can use SGS Toolbox for Google Play.
4) Download and copy ROM files and GAPPS into your internal SD - (cm-10.1.3-RC1-galaxysmtd.zip) download from http://get.cm/?device=galaxysmtd. You can install CM9 first, because going directly to 10.x may lead to loosing your IMEI (i didn't lost it ). You can find Gapps for JB4.2 here: http://goo.im/gapps
5) Turn off phone, go to recovery (Volume Up+Home+Power). Up/Down = Volume button, Accept = Home. Use full wipe (Wipe Data/Factory reset, Wipe /cache, Advanced -> Wipe /dalvik cache). Now 'install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard' and seek for CM .zip file. After installation do same with GAPPS.
6) Reboot system now - all done. First boot takes a while.

Thanks for nothinh. I don't have a clue. Why doesn't exist a easy tutorial for installing from a stock 2.3.6 to 4.2.2?

Actually guide posted by AreXe isn't that hard. Just ask what part you cant understand instead of being rude
It's preety straightforward - you download kernel with built-in cwm that suits your current software (rom), you flash it via Odin, download ROM that you like the most, put it on SD and install from CWM recovery mode - doing all of those things while following instructions posted in their respective topics made by creators of those roms/kernels/guides - most of them are in "Galaxy S I9000 Android Development" section, you just have to look and do some reading.

I don;t get it because he says "after geting that, after installing that" and I don;t know If I already have it or no.

Now I'm in trouble and I need HELP!!
While tring to root the phone I opened zadiag.exe, hit install and it never got out of Download Mode. I'ved pulled out the battery and tried to start the phone... nothing hapened. After that I tried to flash with PITT 512 on Odin, at first it sayed Failed so I unninstalled the Composite USB Samsung device mobile and reinstalled the Samsung Drivers. Tried again to reflash with Odin and sayed Succesful! But it still doens't start. I can't enter in recovery mode, only download mode.
What do to?

I'd just opened zadiag.exe and hit install Samsung COmposite.... in Download Mode, after that it stayed there.
Now I'ved flashed Semaphore_kernel_JVU_2.5.0beta.tar and it's stuck in Recovery mode, tried Wipe data and after that cache, but I still have errors
Can;t mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Can't open same thing
Unknown volume for path recovery.command
And at the Wiping cache the same thing.
L.E. I'ved fixed it with this tutorial: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/ - that's what I call a well explained tutorial.
Thanks for the help. I'm going to try again to root it with the tutorial you gave me.
L.E.2. So it wasn;t my fault. After waiting 2.30 hours to download the rom I'ved began to flash it. Good. All things going nice. Going to step two: flashing CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS, hit start wait. At restart it enteret in Recover mode with the same errors "can't find ..."
So I'ved flashd it again to repair it. I guess my phone ain't made for rooting

Can't be true. Maybe someone other know good kernel file with root for JVU version. I used the JVZ with Semaphore kernel on 3 phones (mine and two from friends) and everything was fine - this is the best base for modding this phone in my opinion.

Then I'll dare to say that I ain't lucky in rooting.
Something's wrong. Why can't I flash custom roms?
