[Q] ok new guy here please help !!!!!!!!

OK first i have googled it and have read many threads so plz dont tell me to do so
and im no noob i have a galaxy fit im jus trying to help my lucky friend who has a galaxy s
iv read around but jus thought ill ask
hes on complete stock here are the specs
model no - GT-I9000
Firmware version - 2.3.3
Baseband Version - I9000DDJV4
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7- [email protected]#2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.DDJV6
now i wanna install darkyrom v10.2
so guys a little help in steps
thank u sooo much

1. Download Darkyrom(version).zip
2.Get into recovery mode(cwm)(Volume up+home+power)
2. Wipe Data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
4. Go to advanced->> wipe dalvik
5. Install zip from sd --->> darkyrom.zip
FINISH!!!
Edit: there are sites that says that you have to install the rom with odin, google a bit more, you don't want a bricked galaxy s

Best answer can be found on the Darky's website. Go to http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php and look for the rom you want to install and they have instructions on how to do it.
I would suggest trying Darky JVU it is the latest and in my opinion the best Darkyrom

bro he dosent even have cwm its complete stock i was thinking if i somehow gget rom manger to work atleast i cAN GIVE HIM CYANOGEN MOD DIRECTLY FROM ROM MANAGER DOWNLOAD REP

Download the latest stock firmware from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Download Chainfire's CWM kernel (link below) for the firmware you installed from the link above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Now that you have CWM, you can download and install the Darky firmware of your choice.

the installation instructions are given in the link along with the download link..
this will give you darky rom 10.2 on your friend's phone which will be rooted along with CWM recovery.. after this you can install any rom which you want using the recovery and the instructions given in the op of the rom you chose.

Bro look at the kernel name -.-

Just install semaphore kernel with odin by downloadin kernel and put in pda slot in odin. Put the phone into download mode by using vol down home and power. Plug phone in and hit start. Make sure you have the drivers installed(samsung kies) and it recognizes the phone. When its done flashing in about 10 seconds it will reboot. Now power down the phone and hold vol up home and power. That will bring you into cwm recovery. Make sure you have darky rom on sd card. Do factory reset and go to install zip from sd card and install darkyrom zip. It will then install and reboot. It will take a while so just wait. If it boot loops put it into recovery again and reflash the zip file again. Please hit thanks and happy flashing!

Download any complete stock ROM and flash with PC Odin

Thank u for ur kind reply.Look i still have the KL3 rom which i used to downgrade my firmware.I think it's a complete stock rom Ashwin used.So i'll be able to use this? N before i do it with PC Odin do i need to do anything from my mobile CWM tool which i got after the root.Or i just reinstall the rom with PC odin.Thank u.

No need to do anything from CWM recovery, flashing with PC Odin will reset your system.. Just make sure it is a complete ROM and flash it using the steps described in the 2nd post of this thread

Thank u so much.I'll try right now.

Thank u matius.It worked.Need to know something now.I'm still waiting for ICS.But i don't want to wait anymore. I see there is a new rom added to dr.ketan's post for Galaxy Note.ICS ROms-N7000XXLPY-4.0.3-2012 May-N7000OXALPY-Open Germany.My question is - is it the full complete stock rom of ICS for Galaxy note?I'll be able to upgrade to ICS with pc odin,the same way i downgraded to KL3 firmware.N it will not harm my warranty? In there dr.ketan added the upgrade guide too.Here is the installation method by dr.ketan ---->
Install using Mobile Odin safely
- Download N extract ROM
- Copy Extracted file to a folder e.g ICS ROM On Ext/Int SD card
- Download CF Root for LPY
- Extract CF root till get zImage file
- Copy zImage file to same above said folder in SD car
- Open Mobile Odin
- Select 'Open file' N point to ROM file
- select Kernel tab N point to zImage file
- select Ever Root option
- Flash
- You will get ICS ROM + Root + CWM
But my question is now why i need CF root?Is it necessary for this rom?I just want to stay with a official stock rom of ICS without any root at this moment.So can i just download the rom n install it with pc odin?

O n as this N7000XXLPY-4.0.3 Rom is official then i think I'll be able to upgrade all the official upgrade in future through WiFi?Cause i heard when we use custom roms it's not possible to get the official upgrade through WiFi.That time all we need to download the upgrade file n flash it.

You don't need it. CF-root is only for those who want a rooted system with CWM. You can simply flash the rom using pc odin.

It's the official ICS rom for Germany. This means in theory it should be possible to download OTA updates. But I can't guarantee it since the rom is for Germany and it is possible that Samsung checks what rom for which geographical market is installed prior to providing the update for download. Maybe they refuse to update your system if the installed rom is from another country.

Thank u for ur reply.But i think when Samsung will release the Rom for my region i'll be able to flash it again?N should i use the same settings in odin? I mean only check the Auto Reboot n Reset time when i flash the official ICS Rom ?

Yes

About flashing via odin
Well I am having the same question.. Before rooting I made a backup using cwm, then my friend flashed ics stunner 5.0. I don't know how but it crashed and I restore my phone using cwm backup. Now it is the stock ics but the kernel is different.. It says abyss kernel.. My question now is that if I flash the rom using the above mentioned method will I get the stock rom+ stock kernel and second question, and what about the binary counter will it increase again.???

[Q] How to downgrade from 4.0.4 to 2.3.6

I just put cyanogenmode 9 beta 7 and i really dont like it. So i want to downgrade to 2.3.6.
Before i upgrade to 4.0.4 i did a recovery for the 2.3.6. Do i need to install that recovery and go back to 2.3.6. , or i need to root it back?
I did a backup. not a recovery

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.

[24sept12]How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note + CWM
Follow the guide.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

As you are on ics,you are not on a safe kernel
So as soon as you root your phone,you need to flash a safe kernel
So follow the 2nd method in the first post of the above link
By using that method,you need to flash a safe kernel(hydracore or philz are best) and you will be automatically rooted
Your flash counter increases after you flash a safe kernel and you can clear it by using "triangle away" app in playstore
This is an easy and safest method

best as u on ddlr9,look for philz kernel in the android dev section. Download the ddrl9 version. put it on ur sd card or internal storage. boot into recovery and choose install zip from sd. choose the zip file and done
u have root, safe kernel, cwm. voila!
no counter no triangle

the guide ask only to to dwnld su.zip file put in the root of ur sd card and flash.. thatz it.. cud u tell me why do i ve to flash a new kernal.. and what the f is odin.

Follow the 2nd method in the first post of the above link or follow nokiamodeln91 instructions and flash philz kernel
And if you dont even know what odin is,then better stay stock
First make some reading,know the basics,and then think of rooting

okay. i ll read some more.. i always used rom manager and cwm recovery to flash roms. is odin like rom manager.. spare my noob questions..

no odin is a flash tool used on pc to flash roms on the phone

well u said in ur previous post that if i m on ddlr9 thatz best so does this kernal version is safe. can i directly flash su.zip file or if i need any safe kernal w.r.t ddlr9 can u post its link.
thankz in advance

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
just download the ddlr9 kernel from the above post and install from stock recovery.
u will get root, cwm and safe kernel. no other files required

thankz i get it.. i d be thankul if u answer this do i ve to make any backup before flashing this 7mb file.. cuz in the thread developer has asked to backup EFS files.. i wonder what are they?

yes ofcourse.. copy the efs folder to a secure location as well as use ktool from the playstore to backup efs as well.

EFS is the one that holds crucial data wifi address,bluetooth address and mainly imei number
Its safe to use ktool than just copying the efs folder

how m i supposed to baclup efs files that app u recommended requires root permissions..

which 7mb file were you talking about?
---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------
oh you mean the Philz kernel?
no need to backup efs. it's required before you start flashing new rom.

Its not mandatory to backup it right now
First root your phone and then backup efs

thankz.. i m obliged with such generosity. cud u also tell me if in future i plan to revert back i.e getting on stock rom and unroting inorder to claim warranty and all that stuff. how shall i do it.. and after flashing kernel will i b able to get over the air(OTA)updates...

visit My Android Collections, look under unlock & Root, you have the option of using an app or by using your PC or flashing a CF Root or semaphore Kernel.

try this, it worked for me.
1st:
Install or Unbrick 2.3.6 Gingerbread in Samsung Galaxy S i9000
youtube.com/watch?v=DDg4oyRNets
2nd
Root 2.3.6 Gingerbread Samsung Galaxy S i9000
youtube.com/watch?v=Pq_2Z1drKzc
and i even maked my I9000 to android 4.2.1
Install 4.2.1 Jelly Bean in Samsung Galaxy S i9000 by Cenouralm
youtube.com/watch?v=LP9EomkF06c
All worked for me

I managed to root and install CWM without using a computer, here's how I did it... I was on gingerbread 2.3.6 so I installed Framaroot v1.5.2 to get root as Mobile ODIN needs root and won't work without it. link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276 then I installed Mobile ODIN (free in market) and the Mobile ODIN flash kernal here http://bit.ly/17kEetk next I download CF-Root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 unzipped CF-Root and placed it in Mobile ODIN, when you open mobile ODIN it'll say you need to download extra data, but it's only if you're flashing firmware, you don't need to download the extra data just for flashing kernels so ignore it... flash it and Mobile ODIN will install CF-Root then it'll auto reboot... once rebooted, go into recovery mod and you should now have CWM as well as Root access... hope that helps.

(1st:
1.1 Follow Cyanogen mods install wiki and download the Usb-driver(remember to reboot after) and the other stuff(no need for the android sdk). Youll have to google for heimdall-frontend
1.2 Use heimdall frontend to install 2.3.6 Gingerbread(XWJVZ_heimdall.tar for i9000) and dont freak out if mobile data is not working, it will work after step 3.)
as odin didnt recognize my soft bricked device, id stick to heimdall.
2nd:
follow cyanogenmods wiki advice and use heimdall to install cwm recovery, dont forget to visit your phones settings and put USB-debug on.
3rd:
a)
use your phone to download the rom-image +gapps you want. Boot to recovery, perform wipes and install.
or
b)
or if you want to stay with 2.3.6---> flash a working modem from recovery if its not working properly.
