[Q] Flash RevolutionRom on SGS I9000

Hi guys,
I'm really interested in flashing Revolution Rom to my SGS1. It currently has CyanogenMod7 on it.
I've looked at the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236432
but can't figure out if I'm meant to just flash the rom or if I somehow need to flash a stock Gingerbread first before then flashing the REvolutionROM.
Can anyone assist?
Apologies if this question's already been asked, I did a thorough search but couldn't find anything. Happy if you just point me to another thread if it's already answered.
thanks
Aaron

To revert from CM7 to any other samsung rom you need to first flash a full PDA stock rom with odin. with repartition. and 512 pit.
then you can change to what ever rom you want.

Hi Bork84, thanks for the reply. Where do I get the stock GB rom that will allow me to then flash RevolutionROM?
Am I able to just flash nandroid backup that I took before I flashed CM7? It's stock Froyo with Voodoo LF (rooted)
thanks

[Q] CM7 or CM9 back to stock ?

I have problem installing CM9 from CM7.1 and I need to revert to stock ROM. Recovery failed to load
Is it safe to use ODIN to flash stock ? is re-partition a must ?
Thanks

Yes, it is safe with odin as long as you're not flashing a bootloader. Re-partition is a must

I always use ODIN to go back to a clean base. Flashing the stock-rom you have to use repartition. Flashing a custom kernel your don't use repartition.

Can you flash a one file .tar stock firmware (like JW5) and use re-partition without .pit? Or do you always need a .pit file?
Is the .pit file still the same like it always been, or is there a new "version" for the one filed firmwares?

[Q] Bootloop problem

I am just about to throw my phone at the wall.
So I was on stock 2.3.3 and decided I wanted to update to ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
I didn't have clockwork mod and wasn't rooted so I eventually got this working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Then I tried to install the ICS rom but it wouldn't work. I then tried to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353657 which for some reason didnt have any cell phone coverage.
I tried going back to the just rooted version of 2.3.3 but haven't been able to get the phone to go past the samsung logo / Clockwork Recovery.
Edit: Whenever I try flash the 2.3.3 rooted rom it updates me to Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.0.0.5 with HEAPS of errors.
Any ideas?

You should go back to a stock rom via Odin...you will need a rom that has 3 files (csc , modem, phone) and the Odin 512 .pit file and check the repartition box.

I flashed the cf root the same as the software my phone had under settings. I flashed it using odin.
There was an error message, I can't recall it exactly, it couldn't execute or something. Yup I wiped data.
Flash back to stock using odin
Thanks for the help guys

Did you solve it?

[Q] Flashing stock rom using odin

Hello,
I will start with saying that Ive already checked every tutorial in every android website.
here is what I did.
I had Miui (Not the ICS one) I have tried to flash CM9 with the existing recovery. than something somewhere on the flash procedure go wrong and the phone just rebooted and putted in loop with no recovery option but download option. so I tried to flash the stock rom using odin 1.85, and the phone just looping on the image of the mobile operator. I did this procedure with the odin for more stock roms I found.
thanks in advance really I need your help...

maybe you forget ‘Re-Partition’checkbox, it's important.

Hmmm.. perhaps, you have to make sure all the files are properly placed (depending on the ROM you are installing). Also, I'd recommend using a pit file (and don't forget to click on "Re-Partition".. So far, it worked for me. ^.~

want a ROM with .tar extension

Hi my i9000 totally messed up. I can only goto download mode. even when i flash CWM and try installing any rom .the phone switches off in between. all i could do is flash rom directly using odin. can any one provide me any rom with .tar so that odin can flash as all rom i find are zip.

Find a stock ROM with 3 files , like XXJVU , then flash .tar based Value Pack like XWJW6 etc.
Here is a list of Stock ROM and link

BTW , I think this thread should be in Galaxy S i9000 General.

Install the latest stock ROM and then use CFROOT to install CWM 3.0.x.x. Then install cm10 stable (zip format). Make sure to factory reset in CWM 3.0.x.x first, then install CM10, then it will reboot to a newer recovery so install CM10 again, then install GAPPS, then factory reset again. That should do the trick (just did exactly that 5 minutes ago).
