Hello all, i need help from you i9000 folks
My friend asked me if i could flash a newer android version on her i9000 that is still stock 2.3.3 , never rooted or flashed. I've owned a i9001 and i9300 so i'm familiar with odin and flashing of samsung devices, my only concern is that i've read a lot about losing IMEI and thus mobile signal. i've also read that it's not advised to flash to a JB version directly from stock 2.3, is that right?
So basically if i want to flash one of the 4.3 or 4.4 roms what's the procedure here? Are there any special steps/precautions before flashing over 2.3.3 ?

Basically , you need to follow how the Android OS was cooked, its froyo>GB>ICS>JB>Kit Kat, doing this will have all the ingredients, jumping from one to the other may lack some ingredients:laugh:
anyway, just follow this [Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat

Hi guys,
So this is my first android phone. I bought it in Shanghai, so it comes with bunch of chinese crapware preinstalled which is really annoying.
After doing some research, it appears that the only way for me to get rid of that is to root the phone (which I've never done before).
I have two goals in mind:
1) being able to delete all the crapware that came preinstalled with the phone
2) being able to install "market enabler" so that I can download "real" apps
I have downloaded Dr. Ketan's guide on how to root the SGN.
My phone's info:
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.ZSLA2
Baseband version: N7000XXLA4
So, from the guide it appears that I dont have a direct rootable ROM, and I need to flash (is that what its called?) it with Odin.
Now, I have downloaded the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" file. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am guessing that this file is the "rooted factory ROM"...
However, later I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with bunch of [stock ROMs].
My goal is to have "normal/factory/oem/stock/whatever you call it" ROM, with SuperUser access aka root.
So, the question is - should I stick with the guide and use "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" ROM or should I flash it with one of the ROMs from the [stock roms] thread?
Cheers!

You can do either
KJ1_factoryfs if pre rooted ROM, you won't need to root it after downgrading
While if you downgrade any rootable ROM from stock ROM thread you have mentioned, you have to root it.

BTW,
do I need to install CWM? I am not planning on installing other ROMs or anything like that... just want to wait for the official release of ICS, that's all.
Not compulsory.
You can also purchase mobile odin pro, if you want to update rom to latest version.
Or u can use as it is. But kj1 or any older rom are not tuned as newer one, may experience battery drainage, leg etc, but if u r satisfied, thn you can keep it till ics.

Hi, I need help understanding ROM upgrading: I have a galaxy ACE S5830L with Gingerbread 2.3.4 (stock ROM) version S5830LUBKPB and reading thru the forums I saw that I can upgrade to another ROM (from different carrier) as long as it's made for the same phone S5830L. So I found on sammobile website a ROM from another carrier (for S5830L) Gingerbread 2.3.6 but with a version S5830LUBKPA.
The only difference I can see is the last letter on the version. So the question is can I install this ROM without messing up the phone. I have done it before with blackberry's but this will be my first with android and I don't want to brick the phone as it is my main phone.
Sorry for my english and TIA.

I'm not sure if its okay to flash a ROM with a different letter.
can't you find any stock ROM that's for your device specifically?
development thread section is for posting software development that you have created.

You can flash any firmware for 5830 and 5830L as they have the same hardware. Just remember to flash the modem of your region if you experience connectivity issues.
Hi guys, i've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 and I'm a little confused. My previous phone was a Galaxy Ace S5830i, I had that phone rooted (but it was too easy, just flash a .zip file) and with a custom rom.
So I have some questions:
1) For now I just want to root my new phone but the methods that I found here are not too clear to me. I first saw this method, but my firmware is not there. My phone came with I9070UBLI1 (2.3.6 GB). So i can't root my phone? my kernel isn't even in sammobile.com/firmwares
2) I want to make a backup just in case before rooting, so, what recovery should I use with this phone? cwm? this? or which one?
3) What is "binary counter"? In galaxy ace that wasn't present.
4) I saw that in samsungfirmwares site there are some 4.1.2 kernels, but they are for Rusia. I'm from Chile. So can I flash the russian kernel? will I loose my signal, 3G or something? Do you recommend upgrade to JB? with stock russian or a custom rom?
5) Do you recommend a custom kernel? which one? This looks nice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you can help me with those questions (numering your answers just like i did with my questions), I just want to enjoy a lot my new phone. :good:

I read the forums, but I'm still confused, for example, for rooting, in the thread that I linked in 1) there isn't the firmware that came with my phone, so I went to here, there isn't neither, then I read this post, but to do that I need dowload my phone's firmware, but the one that came with my phone there isn't in samsungfirmares web page, so I suppose I can flash anyone for Chile (my country), there are 2, but idk if they will work, so, if I'm going to take that risk I need to make a backup first, but idk what recovery I should use.
I have a mental bootloop

I've searched around and can't find any concrete instructions on how to do this.
Can anyone help point me in the direction for a good tutorial?

Hi Member,
I am on 4.1.2 version rooted with CWM installed. I want to upgrade to 4.3 stock. Is there any rom available without the knox bootloader and near stock with samsung touchwiz etc. I am searching from past one week but couldn't able to find anything on it.

Yes, there is a Stock 4.3 ROM from ShonkUK i think that basically just updates all the applications to the 4.3 versions, without KNOX. There are also a number of Modified 4.3 ROMS that all dont have KNOX so you could check them out if you fancy it.
Cheers
There's KNOX, and KNOX apps. KNOX is inside the bootloader (or similar), KNOX Apps are somewhere inside the android file system.
Once the 4.3 bootloader is flashed, you're done. Most roms DON'T FLASH a bootloader, but be sure to check Usually, those flashed from recovery are safe.... from Odin... who can tell?
Thanks for the reply. Can you please give me a link from where I can download the rom or any specific name as there are lots of cwm roms available and its very confusing to pick up.

EVERY based on stock 4.3 rom here is on 4.1.2 bootloader.
However, before downloading any rom first take the time and read as much as possible, cause you seems to be novice and lazy
Try this, 4.1.2 bootloader and 4.3 rom
