[Q] Getting my phone in shape

Hello, I hope you guys will be able to guide me step by step in upgrading my phone's software!
I haven't updated my phone's ROM/firmware/kernel for over a year, and it started lagging + I'd like to have the new features of current custom ROM's, like the MIUI v4 for I9000 based on ICS. Now, I'm no noob when it comes to flashing/rooting/installing custom ROM's, firmware and/or kernels, but I haven't done it in over a year so I'm rusty.
The current software my i9000 is running is:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #Voodo_stable_5.4.1
Build number: Darky's v9.3.XWJS5
Could someone please explain the shortest/simplest way of upgrading it so I can enjoy the new ROMs? Thank you!

Most ICS roms are flashed the same way. just read the OP of the rom that you decide to flash for further details

Thank you all! You can close this topic.

[Q] Need help on upgrade Samsung Galaxy I9000 2.2 to jelly beans

Hi

I need a very basic ROM and a method that does not depend on PC -if it possible.
there so many threads talking similar to that issue causing confusing, some said that i have to upgrade to Icecream sandwich before upgrading to jelly beans or my phone will be dead. thats why i am asking help for the easiest and safer way to make this upgrade.
do I need to upgrade the Kernel as well? and how can I do that. and how can I preserve (backup) my excessing ROM?
Thank you.

[Q] Galaxy I9000 Froyo 2.2 to Jelly Bean the right way

Hi there
cousin of mine is unsure how to proceed from a rooted 2.2 Frojo to Jelly Bean, here are his questions:
Hello,
I need your help because I don´t know the next steps to flash
my Android.
I rooted my international Galaxy S I9000 with vodafone branding.
(I flashed the "CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPO-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1" kernel)
Then I installed the ROM Manager app to install CWM 2.5.
I have still e2 Recovery but I can load the zip in this mode
every time.
All data is already backed up and saved (IMEI/EFS Backup is done).
I used the Root Explorer for this step.
Now I´m not sure which steps are needed to install either
Gingerbread, ICS or Jelly Bean. Which roms/kernels are compatible?
My final version should be Cyanogenmod Mackay Jelly Bean.
Now I have Froyo 2.2
Does anyone have appropriate info or links that may help me
because the forum search didn´t serve the right infos for me.
PDA: I9000BUJP7
PHONE: I9000BUJP5
CSC: I9000GVD2JP5
Build Info: 2010.10
Firmware Version: 2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.BUJP7
Thanks in advance

Hey
You first need to have official gingerbread (provided by samsung) bootloaders as some roms need these..
You can follow the update and root guide below..(Works for the Internation Version Only!! Model No: GT-I9000)
After succesfull booting flash the macky rom with the given instructions in his thread..
Done..

Question: Samsung Galaxy S i9000

Hi All,
Sorry if this is not posted in the right section, i am unable to post in the correct section due to me being a new registered member, so i thought i'd ask here and maybe some of you can help and share some of you're knowledge.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, I followed a guide posted on the XDA developers website (here is the link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546
I ignored the INSTALLING JW4 section as i was already updated to GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 XXJW4.
I then followed the Installing Root section with success.
I then installed Cyanogenmod 9.0 on the install custom ROM section, but further down the section i was also told to install gapps....Could someone tell me what gapps is ? and what gapps does ?
Everything else went well and i am now running Cyanogenmod 9.0 on my Galaxy S.
I was wondering, i hear alot about jelly bean, ice cream, cyanogenmod, what are the differences ? or are these the same thing ?
now i have cyanogenmod installed on my phone, and i want to update to say Jelly Bean 4.2 how do i go about doing this ? do i need to follow the guide and root again or ?
also can someone explain flashing to me ?
Thanks in advance.

First of all...what is GAPPS?
Gapps is short for google apps...its has gmail, maps, play store, maybe youtube or an update to the camera app (not sure) but you get the idea...you don't have to install gapps but it's recommended...here is a link to gapps: GAPPS. Third link is what you should download...the one that says CyanogenMod 9.x.x
Second, Ice cream sandwich(ICS), Jelly Bean(JB):
These are android OS versions, you are now using cyanogenMod 9....this is using Android ICS(ice cream sandwich) this is android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.
Here is a full list of Android OS versions.
Now you get the idea...
Third...what is CyanogenMod?
Simply put, CyanogenMod is a group of people who take the stock android OS and make some customizations, editing, tweaking, and theming...like others...but CyanogenMod(CM) are so great, that most other ROMs depend on CM (You'll see in the ROM page something like "Based on CM" or "Based on cyanogenMod 9").
Extra:
What is ClockWorkMod recovery? (CWM):
CWM is the most popular custom recovery that gives you more options than that of the stock recovery...most of the time, when you root your phone you flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP(Team Win Recovery Project) which give you the ability to flash custom ROMs and other flashable ZIP files...
This is a great guide and will help you greatly...
Have a nice day

Follow this tutorial here before installing cm
You have to install twrp recovery from maclaw
And we don't need to update anything for installing a rom and say hi for rooting

I just give you a hint of what you need, there are lots of guides on this forum just search for them and read carefully
First of all you must know that installing custom ROMs is potentially dangerous, it may brick your phone and it voids your warranty, you do it at your own risk.
Make sure your phone is supported by the software you're going to install, S3 mini aren't all equal, check for model number.
Before installing CM 11 you should install a custom recovery (TWRP from maclaw.pl is recommended for installing kitkat), than you can do a nandroid backup and restore it if something goes wrong, and install custom ROMs very easily.
To flash the custom recovery you need odin in windows (you can find it on maclaw.pl download page) or heimdall in linux. About odin there are lots of tutorials, just search for them, but if you need help with heimdall just ask for it

Maclaw has great instructions too on their download page - be sure to download their ODIN version to flash with Odin.
If you google "how to flash custom rom with odin" you can get detailed instructions with pictures, I found this made me a bit more confident with what the hell I was doing
CM11 was great but I found Carbon with CPU management options gave me better battery life :good:

You have to update via TWRP, because CM11 doesn´t official for us.

Yes CM11 is unofficial, however you can install any maclaw ROM using the most recent CWM firmware.
