[Q] Installing CM7 over official 2.2

I recently flashed the official froyo, now i'm not too happy with it, how would i go back to cm7? do i need to flash the GOT 2.2 again or can i install it over the official one?
Thanks.

Yea, I was wondering the same .. can somebody help us?
Thanks in advance

No need. Flash vulnerable recovery and then apply CM7. It is in times like this that a nandroid backup would be so helpful.

Old Firmware?

Hey guys,
today I got a used Galaxys I9000, it came with the Kernel-Version: 2.6.29 and the Build ECLAIR.AOJG1.
I saw that there is no compatible root for this Build, so do I have to flash a new firemware with odin or shall I do a firemware update via Kies ?
Thank you very much.

If i were you i would update via odin. MUCH quicker and far less hassle, also you can go straight for a custom rom.

can you prefer a rom ? I would need one that allows me to install cm 9 or ICS.
So it needs to be rooted and has CWM installed right ?.
Im afraid to brick my new phone, some im asking.
thank you again.

I prefer you cyanogen 7.1 or a stock with semaphore kernel.

What is the advantage of flashing a sephamore kernel?

[Q] Anybody from Newcastle (UK)?

hello guys,
I am looking for someone who is able to flash my friends Samsung galaxy s i9000. It has still the Froyo software on it. I successfully flashed my to ics but I am not able to do this with the other device. It has a strange basebuild no. I'm not sure how to do this.
Can anyone help me? I would be really thankful.
Cheers

Is no one able to help me?

The baseband is the modem. Should make no difference to which rom you flash. Is it on eclair, froyo or gingerbread?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Sorry, just noticed you've said froyo. You just need to flash stock gb rom, then the semaphore kernel to match for cwm and root, then you're good to go for any custom rom you wish.

This smartphone has JM1 installed. Sorry but I am an absolutly newbie. I only was able to flash my one with a step by step guidance.
I haven't found anything about JM1 How to flash etc.
I am a little bit desperate now ....

Search for a stock gb rom (jvu/jw1 are recent) with gb bootloaders and follow the flashing instructions using odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Sorry, where do I find something like this? After flashing with Odin I will be able to put ICS from teamhacksung on it?

See perka's jvu thread in dev section, there is an odin flashable download.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Once flashed, boot up, turn off, then flash cf-root kernel for jvu - use the search function to find thread or go to read first couple of pages of perka's thread for a link.
Once you're rooted, you'll be good to go.

Is it this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ?? You mean JVU is compatible with JM1?
Thank you for your help!

If you're friend needs a rom i'd start by either flashing Darky's ROM 10.2 RE with full instructions including a vid tutorial on that thread
or
Flash Jetpack v8.2 with instructions and a vid tutorial in that thread.
The reason why i recommend those two ROMS, is they're particularly easy to flash and have good support.
I'd start with Darky's ROM and then move to other ROMS from there if you want, because it's a fast, very stable rom with a brilliant community for support. Plus you dont need much expertise to flash it, and it comes packaged with root and clockwork mod recovery installed, so you dont need to do anything to prepare your phone for flashing. This ROM does it all. If you wanna move off from there, well then you're all set. But if you're friend just wants a fast stable ROM, then he's all set with Darky. If he wants a bit extra speed, then move to Jetpack V8.2 it's stable and no bugs and its very fast and features thunderbolt! tweaks preinstalled, which are custom tweaks written by a guy called pikachu01 and they improve the SGS very well. They dont require too much expertise to install, but this saves you hassle and gives you all those added benefits from thunderbolt!.
If you're really keen on this teamhacksung ICS build then go to the darky rom and then from there install teamhacksungs build. Just make sure you read carefully to know what you're doing.

Flash a stock gingerbread rom. Then flash a custom kernel like semaphore. After that you can install ics.

[Q] what can I do with my froyo tab?

hi guys!!
first of all, I searched and found a lot of confusing information and I'm hoping someone can help me directly like this...
I have a rooted P1000 running froyo:
baseband P1000XXJPZ
kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
build FROYO.XWJMK
I downloaded the SGT bootloader patch app found on xda and it says:
device: GT-P1000 european/international/unbranded
bootloaders - signed!
signed: PBL, SBL, kernel
not signed: SBL_backup
assessment: can only flash signed firmwares
and it gives me the option to patch bootloaders
if I understand correctly, I can flash cf-root kernel via odin and get cwm and then flash any rom?
if so, what about the bootloaders and the right cf-root to download?
most of all, my goal is to upgrade my tab...the tv out function is a must for me so the ics and jb are out, right? if I understand right, the tv out feature doesn't work with them?
what about gingerbread and honeycomb?
what to do?
please help and thank you for reading

I saw that, but that doesnt answer my questions..
does the tv out work?
how do I get cwm?
and is it safe to do what it takes considering the model and the specs I wrote above?

I don't know if tv works.
For instructions about cwm go to cyanogen mod wiki!

thanks for that
do you know is it safe considering the bootloaders and froyo on my tab?

in your other thread you read about using overcome method.
The GB stock safe v5 rom files contains GB bootloader.
By flashing that you shall have GB bootloader and from then on you are good.
It is still best to upgrade to GB before installing CWM by any means you choose (although overcome kernel on top of GB stock safe v5 is the safest and sure way).
And please don't run the bootloader patcher once you are on GB based.

great, thanks!
one more thing, do I have to patch the bootloader first with that app while on froyo?
and if I run that method, I'll have GB on my tab, right?
is it stock GB or a modified rom? I'm asking to see if the tv out function will work...
thanks again

You should be able to flash gb without patching.
Because the package is a stock gb Rom jq1 ( Italian).
You may want to go all the way to overcome Rom 4.1 by following the complete guide to the end.
That will be a modified Rom and tv out working.

Hi cistamlaka, be aware that it is your uncle's phone, not yours. So I would be very careful on rooting and upgrading to a different rom. If he is on a stock 2.3.3, I think (because I had it) there is an update to 2.3.6. It fixes a couple of lags.
If you root him the phone and push some new rom onto it, he might be confused because he will lose the TouchWiz and some applications. Check first with him, what applications (and if some Samsung-made) he uses and if he is okay to change the looks of the phone.

Isnt it right that he has only to download a file and change it to "update.zip" to flash it via stock recovery? A friend of me needs that file, is it the same to use as on sgs plus (i9001)?

the problem is that usb doesnt work (he will fix it) but the charging works.For update do I have to use kies or OTA if it is possible?
