[IMPORTANT]eternal.sumit's IMPLEMENTED GUIDE to LG thrill 4G!!

As per the title I've already tested the stuffs successfully and as per my experience I posted this guide. I want to help you guys too!!
INSTALL LG DRIVERS FOR PC:
1.Extract the zip and install drivers from setup.
http://www.mediafire.com/?eec7g8dekfggwag
ROOT LG Thrill 4G:
1.Make sure your phone is not set to read mass storage only.
Setting>SD card & phone storage setting>uncheck “mass storage only”.
2.Turn on Usb debugging
Setting>application>development>check “USB debugging”
3.Connect phone to PC via USB cable.
4.Be careful don’t click “turn on mass storage” and leave the phone as it is.
IF you are on stock ANDROID 2.2.2(froyo):both megatron_windows and super one click roots your phone.
{however I prefer megatron_windows than super one click as it has less probability to freeze than super one click.when I was on froyo I had to try 2nd time by super one click to root}
IF you are on stock ANDROID 2.3.5(gingerbread):only megatron_windows roots your phone.
Megatron_windows” root:
-After you have followed upto step 4 & connected your phone to PC,open “run” batch file as administrator,from the extracted folder.
-when batch windows pops up press enter .It will start rooting.It will reboot 2 to 3 times your phone while rooting.After it finishes rooting,it will prompt to press any key on batch windows.Hit enter and your phone is rooted.

Download megatron windows from:
http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/26/rooting-the-lg-thrill-optimus-3d/
“super one click” root:
- After you have followed upto step 4 & connected your phone to PC,open main super one click app from extracted folder and click “root”,wait for sometime until a message box “ says your phone is successfully rooted “and Run SU test,when it says SU test success your phone is rooted.
Download super one click from:
http://www.apkfullapps.com/2012/01/superoneclick-v233-apk-app.html
Now you can enjoy any root needing powerful apps such as “Titanium backup”.
FLASHING CWM RECOVERY & MAKING YOUR 1ST NANDROID BACKUP:
Flashing CWM is very vital for playing around with custom ROMs and before you flash any custom ROM by CWM it is must to make nandroid backup so that you can flash back to your custom ROM in case anything goes wrong.
Until there’s nandroid backup on your SD card and you don’t replace CWM recovery with your stock recovery you can go to your stock ROM any time you wish and hence there’s no risk of phone brick.
IMPORTANT:YOU CAN ONLY FLASH FROYO BASED CUSTOM ROM ON 2.2.2(FROYO).LG THRILL GINGER BREAD CUSTOM ROMS CAN ONLY BE FLASHED AFTER YOU UPDATE YOUR PHONE FIRMWARE TO ANDROID 2.3.5(GINGERBREAD).
FLASH TOUCH VERSION CWM RECOVERY:
Our LG thrill supports touch CWM recovery which best and efficient among other CWM recovery.so I will guide you through touch recovery.
1. download the "LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher.zip" und unzip folder on your PC:
http://www.mediafire.com/?m0jbk4eprv4b331
2. turn on the USB-Debugging
3. connect your phone via usb with the PC
4. click "LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher.exe" to start the flash tool
5. choose Y to start flashing or N to cancel
6. your phone reboots after finishing
7.press any key to close the tool
HOW TO START INTO CWM-Recovery:
1.turn off your phone
2.start it with holding ower + VolDown(-) + 3D-key
MAKING YOUR 1ST NANDROID BACKUP:
1.Boot into CWM
2.Click “backup and restore”>click “backup”
3.After making backup finishes click “reboot system”.
{Note:copy your backup file to PC.In case you lost backup accidentally oh mass storage you can copy again from PC to mass storage or SD card.Copy “clockwordmod” folder from root of your phone memory or SD card to pc. If you lose backup file from phone paste it back to phone storage or SD card.}
FLASHING CUSTOM ROMs:
1.Boot to CWM recovery
2.go to “wipe data/factory reset” and wipe data
3.go to “wipe cache partition” and wipe cache
4.go to “advanced”>”wipe dalvik cache” and wipe dalvik cache
5.After you have cleared all 3 caches as above,go to”install zip from sd card”>if you have ROM(zip) on sd card select ”choose zip from sd card” else select “choose from internal sdcard”>choose the required ZIP file as ROM and install.
6.when proccess completes Reboot phone and you will boot into your custom ROM when phones starts.
HOW TO RESTORE NANDROID BACKUP IN CASE OF SYSTEM FAILURE:
In case there is problem on your custom ROM.
1.start into CWM Recovery as like instructed earlier.
2.Click” backup and restore”>click “restore”
3.choose the backup file of stock ROM you backed up before,which is named to the date when you created your backup.
4.after the restoration completes click ”reboot system”.
5.when phone restarts it will boot directly to your saved state of stock ROM.
I'VE TREID MY BEST TO BECOME PRECISE.DO IT CAREFULLY & ON YOUR OWN RISK.AVOID BRICKS.
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING ABOVE ARE WARMLY WELCOMED!!
IF U LIKE MY HARDWORK HIT "THANKS".

I appreciate the hard work you did putting this together, but there's already a couple of these guides on the forum. What's the difference between this guide and TheDarkLeStat's?

-firstly, my guide includes procedure to flash touch CWM but Dark lestat guide's for normal CWM without touch capabilities.
-2nd, my guide is more illustrative.
- 3rd ,I have included info on rooting software compatibility with version of android and separate method for different android version,so that any one can root their thrill without problem.
-4th,I have included procedure to flash custom ROM in detail.
-5th,I have included detail procedure on creating nandroid backup.
so this covers most of the guide regarding to LG thrill than that of lestat.

This is incorrect.
You can flash custom ROMs on FroYo. - FroYo Baseband
You can flash custom ROMs on Gingerbread. - Gingerbread Baseband
There are a couple ROMs that are made for FroYo.

My Recovery Manager has stock Android Recovery, ClockworkMod, and Touch ClockworkMod.
Thumbs up on illustration!
FroYo ROMS can be rooted with SuperOneClick without any problems. Gingerbread uses Megatron Root.
I haven't finished the rest of my guide yet. I still have a .txt file with stuff I need to add. The last two are ones that are on the bottom of my list.

As there is already an update for ginger bread.I think flashing custom ROM compatible for 2.3.5 only makes vital sense.so i meant to update firmware to gingerbread to users to enjoy GB based custom ROM.I don't think custom ROM for froyo is good idea,thats why i advise users to update their ROM to gingerbread for enjoying custom GB ROM on it which is stable and fast.
any way what you said is correct.so I am editing the post...

I have been going CRAZY for the past few weeks trying to root my rogers Thrill 4G with 2.3.5. The Megatron_windows trick worked from the first try. As did CWM recovery. Thanks a bunch for this how-to.

BACKUP / INSTALL / REVERT
The following guide is not a "only solution", but just effort to make it short and clear. I take no credit for procedures, as it is just a collective XDA wisdom, taken into on thread.
Due to many questions, asked in CM development threads, questions, not being related to the discussions, and, mainly, how to flash/migrate/roll back, I decided to write this guide.
This thread will be maintained, instructions will be added/removed/fixed per need.
Don't hesitate to correct me, if you feel like this.​

PLEASE, STICK TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDE TO FLASH YOUR CM / AOKP ROM SAFELY:
:good: **Browse XDA to learn about PC Odin. For your assistance, and to get an basic info about it -
You are on GB 2.3.6 Stock NON-Rooted ROM
OR
You are on GB 2.3.6 Stock Rooted ROM WITHOUT CWM recovery
OR
You are on Stock 4.0.3 / 4.0.4 rooted / non-rooted Rom /Samsung based custom rom
◘ Download your rom of choice
http://get.cm/?device=n7000 for CM9 rom
and download Gapps - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
◘ Browse this for CM10 -

http://www.mediafire.com/?uhiges9y3zhs8oi
from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
for painless migration to CM9 / CM10.
**Brief instruction for PC ODin:
• Download Samsung Mobile USB drivers or install Kies (should be turned off, while flashing)
• Open PC Odin, go to PDA field, insert CM9_safe_kernel.tar
• Ensure you have checked only Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time and PDA check boxes, while PDA line contains CM9_safe_kernel.tar file path.
• Boot to download mode (home + power + volume down), confirm the download mode.
• Connect to your USB cable (no hubs, no extensions).
• Check ID:COM filed for COM port to appear and "Connected" in the "Message" area.
• Hit "Start", wait for "Success" message in "Message" area and phone reboots.​​
**Complete "How to use CWM guide" with screenshots**
:good:. If you have rooted rom with CWM recovery, flash any CM kernel from this thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397 ,
without exiting recovery choose Advanced - Reboot recovery, and then proceed to next step.
Whatever you get (Boot logo, animation) - just turn off the phone, and boot into recovery - (power+volume up+home button)
:good: Install ZIP from sdcard -Choose ZIP from (or internal SD) sdcard (pick your rom .zip file),
choose Yes.
◘ Install ZIP from sdcard -
◘ Choose ZIP from sdcard (or internal SD) (pick your Gapps .zip file),
choose Yes.
◘ Go Back, Wipe data/factory reset, choose Yes, then Reboot system now.

◘ No need to flash Gapps on version upgrade.​
**In case you have non-working Play Store, or any other Google app, go to recovery and re-flash Gapps, followed by cache/dalvick wipe.
If it's still not working, clear the data on relevant app and try again. In some cases, clearing data of "Google services framework" also helps.
:good: Backing up /restoring your rom:
◘ Boot to recovery,
◘ Backup and restore - just choose what your need, backup or restore.
**It is suggested to be on same kernel in order to perform correct restore! Don't mix between CM9 and CM10 kernels, while backuping / restoring.
◘ When restoring CM9 backup after CM10 rom, or back to CM10 after CM9 -
flash through CWM (like .zip file) kernel, that you've been running on before (or similar, with very same CWM recovery version).
You need to make sure to check all those things before.
◘ CWM flashable kernels for CM can be found here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397 .
So, flash the kernel, restore your backup, wipe cache & dalvick.​
:good: BACK TO YOUR PREVIOUS ROM:
◘ Flash your rom of of choice whether through CWM recovery or PC Odin,
or restore backup, previously done on old rom - it's safe.​

FAQ Section
Frequently Asked 'FAQ'
Where is S-Note/S-Memo?
Can I install it on CM/AOKP roms?
A: NO.
Look for alternatives - Memo, Jotter, Papyrus, etc.
I'm confused - I still can't understand, whether I'm running safe kernel or not?
A: Head to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1789397.
All of the kernels, stated under "CM 10 (JB) Kernels", "CM 9 (ICS) Kernels", "TouchWiz based ICS kernels" are safe. So if you're on the one of those kernels, and have working CWM recovery - you are ready to go.​
I'm on pure CM9 or CM10, or another CM based, and want to try another kernel. Can I do this?
A: Yes. If you're on CM9 or CM10 based roms, you can use any of kernels from this thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1789397,
stated under "CM 10 (JB) Kernels" or "CM 9 (ICS) Kernels" accordingly -
CM9 to CM9 based (Asylum ICS, Anidroid, Paranoid ICS, Ganbaru, etc.), and CM10 to CM10 based (½ ILLUSIΘN JB, Asylum JB, Paranoid JB, etc.)​
What is Gapps and why do I need to flash it together with CM rom?
A:From Cyanogen Wiki:
Google Apps contain the proprietary Google applications that come pre-installed with most android devices.
Due to licensing restrictions, these apps cannot come pre-installed with CyanogenMod and must be installed separately.
CyanogenMod does not require Google Apps to function properly, however, to take full advantage of the Android system, Google Apps are recommended.
These apps include Gmail, Maps, and the Android Market, just to name a few. [
To add: It contains not only know Google apps, but also necessary Google services, that can't be downloaded from the Play store, but must be installed, in order to use Gapps./B]

Click to collapse
Can we go from CM9 to CM10 without going back to GB ?
A:Yes. Let's say, you're on latest CM9 nightly.
Backup your rom in recovery, as described in OP, flash CM10 rom and JB Gapps, perform wipe data/factory reset, and you're fine.
To go back, you should flash the latest CM9 kernel from this thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1789397,
advanced - reboot recovery, restore your backup, wipe cache and dalvick.​
Can we go to CM10 without installing GB rom or kernel? Especially, if I'm on stock ICS?
A: Yes, if you are on safe kernel, again -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1789397.
All of the kernels, stated under "CM 10 (JB) Kernels", "CM 9 (ICS) Kernels", "TouchWiz based ICS kernels" are safe.
Don't forget the full wipe, while moving from branch to branch.​
After flashing CM9_safe_kernel my phone won't go past "Samsung Galaxy Note" boot screen. Is my phone bricked?
A: No, stay calm.
It is just your previous system, that can't boot with CM9 kernel.
Turn off the phone, and turn it it into the recovery (power+home+volume up), and continue per OP.​
I booted into the recovery and can't see my CM build and Gapps.
A: Inside the menu "Install zip from sdcard" go to "Choose zip from internal sd".
In any way, there is suggested to to put your files to external sd (you can do it anytime through card reader, etc.)​
I'm starting to install my zips, and installation is being aborted (I see dead Android with yellow triangle).
A: Your files are corrupted. Re-download it, and compare to MD5 sum, stated at the download site.
If issue occurs again, re-format your sdcard in FAT32, and try again.​
Will all my Apps and Data stay on my phone when upgrading from nightly version to nightly version? Or will everything be deleted?
A:All of your apps and data will remain, "wipe cache/dalvick" commands are not touching /data and /system partitions.​
Since I rooted and installed Cyanogen Mod I get a yellow triangle when booting the phone; everything has always worked perfectly though.
Is this a problem? And how do I get rid of it?
А:It's a custom binary counter being activated - your warranty is void with this tg.
Search for "Triangle-away" at the forum - it will reset the counter back to "0" and will remove the triangle..
No problems for functionality at all.​
I have: Battery drain, instability, sudden reboots/ shutdowns, any other strange issues...
A: Rule number one: Super clean install. Boot to CWM recovery (while on safe kernel), go to "Mounts & storage", and choose "Format /cache, /data, /system". If you have any apps data on /emmc (inte
=rnal storage), back it up, and also format /emmc.
Then install the CM rom and proper Gapps. ​
Q:
a) My Wi-Fi signal is bad. Should I use another modem?
b) I have no Wi-Fi, what's going on?
A: a) Wi-Fi and modem - different things. Only mobile network is modem depandable. Dig your networks settings/router. b) There is Wi-Fi. Wipe all, do clean install.​
I picked a default action for the app (launcher, gallery, whatever), but now I regret and want my choices back.
A:Go to Settings > Apps > All > scroll to default appchosen > open it > scroll down > click "clear defaults > press Home Button > choose whatever you want​
I can't backup / restore on CM10 based rom. Why?
A: a)Because it's not working on early versions
b) When you're backing up, check the recovery version/kernel. Be sure to have the kernel on your sd, and the easiest way for painless restore is to flash the original kernel, reboot recovery, and then restore​
I installed rom / kernel, and have a bootloop / can't go past boot animation
A: Don't worry. Boot to recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvick cache, fix permissions.
Still the same problem?
Go to recovery, mounts and storage, format system, data, cache, make your install again.​
My 1080p video can't be seen after installing new kernel/rom (Hydra, AOKP, whatever...)
A: Codec problem.
Until it's fixed, get Mobo Player - it plays all the stuff.​
I lost root after installing Hydra kernel!
A: Get SuperSU app (flashable .zip), install it from CWM, update binaries.
I flashed X kernel on Y rom and phone can't boot!
A: Since 3rd of October, CM10 has been updated with new Mali drivers. Hense, CM-based roms won't boot with old CM or custom kernels, which are not updated accordingly. For getting explanation about compatibility - post your questions here.
***NEW***
My ringtone plays once only, no loop!
A: The solution is here.

Nice one buddy, will send ppl here for sure.

Asylumized!

Thank you for the effort

Fantastic idea. Keeps the CM10/PARANOID threads nice and clean, and I'm sure this will stop at least a few of the questions from the lazy members out there

Thanks much mate.. this is what a noob like me needs. Thank again.

Unless you can't live without GPS and proper auto-rotating, it's stable enough.

Thanks ahalford, awesome guide.
1 question though, will my Galaxy Note LPY kernel (with the hard-brick problem) be any problem at all when following this tut? Don't want it to brick

Thanks ahalford!
Following your guide I've managed to get it working!! Really awesome!!
Here are some tips from a newbie for your guide though.
After step 3 I (being the n00b I am) thought I had bricked my phone because it wouldn't boot past the "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000" screen. Luckily I just continued with the guide and found out that was no problem.
Step 4: You didn't mention at the beginning of the guide that we had to place the kernel thing in the external SD card in the phone. Wasn't able to get into the phone at that point (due to step 3) so had to take out the battery and SD card and put the file on it manually.
But for the rest it is a very clear guide, very nice for us n00bs.

As for 3: I noticed it in OP - "Whatever you get (Boot logo, animation) - just turn off the phone, and boot into recovery - (power+volume up+home button)"
As for 4: There is a option in CWM recovery to flash from internal SD. I'll try to add soon link for CWM guide.

CWM guide added to the OP and continued with Q&A.

Got 2 questions
6. Upgrading from version to version:
Boot to recovery,
Install ZIP from sdcard -Choose ZIP from sdcard (pick your rom .zip file), choose Yes.
Go Back, wipe cache partition, advanced - wipe dalvick cache.
No need to flash Gapps on version upgrade.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Will all my Apps and Data stay on my phone when upgrading from nightly version to nightly version? Or will everything save the Gapps be deleted?
2. Since I rooted and installed Cyanogen Mod I get a yellow triangle when booting the phone; everything has always worked perfectly though. Is this a problem? And how do I get rid of it?

1. All of your apps will remain.
2. It's a custom binary counter. Search for "Triangle away" at the forum - it will reset the counter. No problems for functionality or else, just warranty void.

Ahalford, man, you are the greatest! Taking it upon you to start and maintain/support this thread for everyone to benefit. XDA needs more users like you!!

Thanks for you kind words, but, sorrowfully, I don't think, that it will force someone to perform search before asking 100th time the same question. Since this thread is not sticky and not in the dev's section, nobody will look at it. At least, I made my effort.
P.S. Regarding your problem - have you tried to change a sim card, same operator, another?

It is a great thread.
I was searching and reading up for days on how to properly root my Note and install Cyanogen Mod.
There are literally 1000s of different: ways to root, kernels, etc. I was totally confused.
Your guide helped me do it in 10 minutes, and finally made clear to me that it really isn't that hard.
We n00bs just need clear steps, that's all, it's not that hard.
I was very surprised to see there were absolutely no tutorials that went through it for us like this one.

Thanks for remembering... I flashed the latest nightly yesterday, and it hasnt happened to me yet
I think it might have been a problem with a bad flash or something, maybe a corrupt download. Anyways, all is on the bright side now!

Need help with Alliance ICS Final ROM

Hi all,
I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place but as a newbie I cannot post in the thread of the ROM I have trouble with.
So, atm I'm trying to flash Alliance ROM Final ICS to my N7000 but I'm having some troubles with it. I have followed all of the instruction correctly, I have tried installing it either via ROM Customizer or CWM.
With ROM Customizer: when I was trying to flash the zip file then the phone reboot and takes me to the recovery window with error notification.
With CWM: After flashing the kernel (I tried both with Speedmod 3-13 and also Hydracore 4.3b STD), reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik, and then flash the ROM zip file. The ROM installed and says it finish. Then I choose go back and reboot the system. However, instead of continuing to install and to show Alliance bootanimation, the ROM that actually loaded is my old ROM which is Chrack 14 (also with Chrack bootanimation).
So basically, even though it looks like that the ROM successfully being installed, the fact is it failed. It looks like that this Chrack ROM very persistent to be uninstalled from my phone
Do you guys have any ideas what's happening here and what could be the problem?
FYI, my current ROM is Chrack 14 with Speedmod 3-13 as the kernel.
I really need your help guys. Believe me, I won't hesitantly ask you questions if I haven't read and follow instruction which are given by the developer of the ROM about how to install it correctly.:cyclops:
Really appreciate any inputs or solutions for my problems.
Thanks in advance guys.

boot into recovery and go to mounts and storage > then format system,data and cache. this will clear up the old rom. then try to install Alliance again.
Note: this will erase the system partition and there will be no rom to boot with if the install of new rom failed. so make sure you put all the required files in the phone before doing the formats. also to be extra prepared another rom may be.

Thanks for the reply. Uhm, what's the risk should it failed to flash the new ROM? And what will be the solution should it really fails at the end?
Is there any other safer options and maybe anyone can explain the possibilities that causing my current problem?
Also what do you mean by "the required files" here? And where i should put the files? In the internal memory or sd card?
Sorry for the noob questions.:banghead:

Not much.. only you need to install a different rom or boot into download mode and flash a stock rom using PC odin

i mean the files required to flash the rom.. and CWM can flash from both storages so it really doesnot matter

Flashing problems

I have a flashing problem, I don't know how to explain very well, every time I try to flash a kernel/mod etc via recovery, it disapears after rebooting the system, it won't stick there! I tried to upgrade from thunderzap to siri via CWM, and it didn't upgrade.. So I made a fresh install, flashed JB via odin, everything was fine, but now I can't flash anything via recovery, not even the CWM recovery, It shows that it's successfully flashed, but it simply disappears after the first reboot, I need held really bad. I can't find something similar, it can be a hardware problem? I successfully flashed root, but can't do nothing more, it will not "stay" in my phone. Devs, what do you think I should try?

First, CWM can't be flashed via recovery and stay. That is temp CWM. You need to install kernel with integrated CWM. You need to unpack SIRI zip, to get CWM flashable instalation. You probabli just flashed zip that contains both kernels, dd, and CWN flashable. Did you get success message after instaling it?

If you don't know the DD commands you can also download Universal Kernel Flash Tool and flash using this simple APP.
All you need is to download the "kernel.bin.md5" you want to flash to your phone, load it with the app and press flash (explanation in the link).

Yeah, it is successfull! For example from stock recovery I flash the CWM update zip (the separate version, as in instructions). The recovery is now CWM, I can flash everything, it says successfull, but it doesen't "stay" in my phone after reboot. Should I asume is a hardware problem? Flashing via Odin is working, flashing root zip is working as well.
I also tried flashing siri RC3 (with CWM integrated) via Terminal Emulator, it worked, but the phone it's still broken, when I try to update to RC4 via recovery, or flash anything else, it is flashed, it shows that the installing was successfully but after reboot.. boom it isn't there

How did you flash CWM. You used that Temporary CWM. Like you do not listen to me. It is Temporary because it will not stay. You need to install kernel with CWM. Because it is on the same partition. SO YOU CAN'T INSTALL CWM WITHOUT KERNEL. IT WILL BE PERMANENT ONLY WHEN IT IS INSTALED INTEGRATED INSIDE OF KERNEL. Any of our JB custom kernels have permanent CWM.

It seems i'm not a too good explainer. Is there any way to make screenshots in recovery? I will show you step by step

I installed siri RC3 via terminal emulator, now I have permanent CWM, but I can't flash anything with it, even if it says the kernel is successfully upgraded, etc. I don;t know how to take screenshots in recovery, but I have those:

Hm, lets do one test. I will make you flashable zip with some application and you see if it is installed. Just to figure out what app to put in system.
P.S. No, do one thing. Backup your ROM in CWM. Then use Frapeti's CWM that deodex ROM. And see if all *.odex files are gone from system/app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095301
Or try black status bar mod from there. If it is changed to black, that it is working normaly.

The status bar mod worked (I did it before deodex and it worked, so I think it doesn't require deodex.. doesn't matter)
I installed deodex zip, it worked.. So the problem is only when I flash kernles or mods that are .zip ... I think I will stick to stock with a kernel that doesn't require flashing and that's all.. if you can find an answer I will be very thankful anyway.

And what file did you use for kernel, post link to see is it CWM flashable. You can't just zip it and install.

Siri kernel RC4 http://www.tusfiles.net/w043syx4a7hg
There are other things that "disappear" after flashing like moded lockscreen or moded sms. It will just not flsuh zips, I can't explain why terminal emulator is working, or why deodex.zip is installing.. I'm too tired to figure it out. Can you learn me another way to flash the RC4 kernel without recovery? thunderzap is a little choppy and siri RC3 has some vibrator bugs wich make it unusable for daily use.

You did unpack this zip and used I9070_CWM_FLASHABLE_SIRI_KERNEL_rc-4.zip? You should't flash I9070_SIRI_KERNEL_Rc-4_PACKAGE.zip. Because it contains CWM flashable zip, that you should flash, and kernel that should be flashed with DD command. It is a package, just for easy download.
And you can't flash ThunderZap from its official thread with CWM. It can be only instaled with DD command method.
For SMS you need to remove current secmms.apk to make new work. And to remove secmms.odex if you are not deodexed.
I think there is no problem with your instalations in CWM, just need to figure out how things work.

Thanks man, I totally forgot about that! I was so worried about the broken flashing thing that I forgot, thank you a lot, i will just flash with dd.

[Q] I9000 2.3.3 CM installation Assistance needed

I hate to post a thread about this.
But I searched and searched but cannot find the particulars of what I need help with specifically.
I wouldn't have registered if I didn't think I could get around it without some help.
Here is the situation.
Galaxy S GT-I9000 came with Android 2.3.3 installed, No further updates are on offer when I try to update.
Phone is slow and aweful, Going to install CM
What I have.
CM installer, PC and Android applications.
Heimdall client 1.4.0 in Zip.
CM-10.1.2-GalaxySMTD in Zip.
Recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-galaxys
And that Windows C++ thing (I have no idea what it is for, Tutorial just told me to download it)
The exe I downloaded and installed is vcredist_x86
Now then, Because the tutorials I've read mention the phone being either 2.2.3 or 2.3.6 but not 3.3
causes me concern, I do not know what I am doing, I do not want to risk muddling my way through,
I would like to get the installation of Cyanogen done as quickly as possible as my phone is in Limbo
I did a factory reset after backing everything up, I have lost all Marketplace apps but still have the apps from Amazon.
I request the help of somebody with experience with installing roms on this particular phone,
I tried the CM installer from Amazon and from the website directly, Both when used in conjunction with the PC installer
simply told me that my device was not supported.
This leaves me with trying futile diagnostics to try and make it work, however as my phone is my modem
for internet use, I really cannot have a phone in limbo on this issue.
As for the custom installation well, I don't know where to begin,
I really have no idea what ClockworkMod recovery really is, or how I install it, I have never "rooted"
Anything besides a PSP before, and the fact the tutorial just tells me to "root" to get CWM installed
just opens up a whole new can of worms and more reading that just further confuses and frustrates me.
Please if anybody can help, and put things in straight forward terms, I would greatly appreciate it.
I hope the info provided is sufficient any further questions, ask

I Thank you for finding that, as I did not, But I did read it last night and tried my best. The results are not good.
It's pretty much just leading to me downloading more software, then google searching how to use it. and it just goes on. an unending can of worms.
Install CM11 okay simple enough, First get Clockworkmod Recovery, Okay, CWM needs Root, Okay? How do I root? Well get Odin and Flash this Rom you never heard of, and to use Odin you first need to get CWM and use Heimdall and then Root and then Heimdall and then Odin then CWM then Root then Odin then Heimdall then Flash Image then Partition thingy stuff and more jargon then root Heimdall Flash CM then Put CWM on.

Don't get me started on a tutorial where I lookup another tutorial for software mentioned in first tutorial, that tells me to download some rom or hack or piece of software, that is a file I NEVER heard of, and needs an Unzipper, or something.
I'm not being deliberately inept, I just cannot do this unless it's step by step and comprehensive, Not to mention I cannot go downloading stuff I end up not needing, or simply has no use, Phone data is not cheap.

It is really simple.
Do the following (assuming you want to install Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS)):
Download XXJVU (Firmware)
Download Odin 1.83 (latest supported version for I9000)
Make sure the Samsung USB Drivers are installed
Disable/uninstall KIES
Backup your contacts/sms/pictures etc
Boot into Download mode (Volume down + Home + Power)
Open Odin
Unpack XXJVU. You will get 3 files
Click PDA and choose the *CODE.tar file
Click CSC and choose the *CSC.tar file
Click PHONE and choose the *MODEM.tar file
Make sure re-partition is not checked
Connect your device to your computer
Click Start and wait (A box will turn green and will say PASS!)
Then you need to Root your device in order to install a custom ROM
Download CF-Root
Open Odin
Click PDA and choose the file you downloaded
Boot into Download mode and connect your device to your computer
Click Start and wait
Now to install the custom ROM do the following:
Download CyanogenMod 9.1.0
Boot into Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
Wipe Data, Cache & Dalvik Cache
Select Install from SD card and then select the ROM you downloaded
Select Yes and wait (your device will reboot and then boot in your new ROM)

Well it is simple when people like you write well paced yet comprehensive guides, Good news too, I got my internet connection back so I can download all the tools, stick em in a folder and get down to business.
I am guessing you can install any version of CM (Jelly Bean, Kit Kat etc) So long as it is the correct build for the correct phone (in this case GT-i9000)
Odin is better than Heimdall? I have Heimdall already, I'll grab the USB drivers, I don't remember if I even downloaded them, if I did I wouldn't know what they were called at the time.
The Wiki returns results on Odin saying things such as "Unofficial leaked software" blah blah something about Heimdall being more user friendly.
Anyway I will read the guide and hope it all goes smooth from now on

It is not advised to install the latest versions of CM (i.e. JB or KK) straight from stock because you might lose your IMEI.
The correct way is to install ICS first and the JB or KK.
Heimdall is good but for someone who never flashed a ROM before ODIN is the way to go.

The IMEI on the device itself that allows you to use cellular networks or just the copy google and all those apps sneakily grab?
It really reminds me of flashing a PSP ah, so un-straightforward it was amazing I didn't screw up.
Btw the Rom had Odin 1.8.3 already damn, I got two copies.
Well I have everything I need, I already wiped and backed up my phone, still have my USB files on there, no doubt they will be gone when I do the reboot wipe.
Oh wait, I got CF and I downloaded Clockworkmod recovery a few days ago, Hope they are correct.
I take it that when I complete installation all the google stuff gets put back on from the stock rom?
On a final note, aside from needing more speed, I really look forward to trying those privacy features or apps that can restrict access to personal info, and also keep my IMEI out of access, from Play store or anywhere else, I was pretty furious that such a unique ID that nobody but your cellular provider has the right to know is so easily leaked out on smartphones.

You don't need to separately download Clockworkmod recovery. CF-Root includes it.
If you want all the Google stuff you need to download Gapps (Google Apps) and flash it through Recovery.

So to be clear, Once I install Cyanogen ICS I will not have access to the Market/Playstore until I flash the Gapps package onto the phone?
Update. CF installed, ICS installed, stuck in boot loop till I reinstalled from sd card (ACTUAL sd Card)
I dunno what to think of Cyanogen Mod so far, I was hoping it would have more choice of skins/launchers, particularly just classic stock Android, Anyway the original ROM is gone, So I now have CF+Stock or CM9
The CWM app is gone since I installed CM9 but the Droid Superuser is still there, Is there anything more besides getting access to my apps (Skype fb dropbox etc) That I need to install? one thing I do want to get done is find out what Privacy permissions thingie is best, I heard about LBE but couldn't use it, Now I can, any opinions?
By the way I cannot express how good this tutorial is, it's probably as easy as the CM installer app.
That means Job Well Done!!!!

I put the stock ROM back on, the CM keyboard and weird touch sensitivity was annoying, Also no file explorer or task manager or anything that showed how much Ram was being used, It's just too un-ergonomic.

There are a lot of file explorers that you can download from the Play store that are hundreds of times better than the stock Galaxy S explorer. If you want a ROM with a built-in file explorer try CyanogenMod 11.
To see how much RAM is being used go to Settings -> Apps -> Running.
If you don't like the default keyboard you can always download a better one from the Play Store.
There are also hundreds of different ROMs to try that are way better than the stock ROM.

So there is no way to actually migrate your stock apps with you to CM from Gingerbead 2.3.6?
So this CF root what is that exactly? Just root access and superuser? because one thing I would like to be able to do is disable IMEI access before setting up a google account to install apps.
As I mentioned before, I am going to have another go at CM when I have the time, it's just a pain modding a phone you regularly use, I think at this point though even Cyanogen cannot improve my phone's performance, the battery sucks, everything force closes, slower than the phone I had before I bought this one, essentially..
Android gives me a headache these days..
By the way I've passed on your guide to others who have Galaxy phones and express an interest in rooting,
They would want to know about how to do it for more recent models, so you might at some point get people asking you for help

CF-root is a kernel & custom recovery package. TW based apps can not be migrated to custom ROMs, but many other can. If your apps are synced with your Google account, every custom ROM that uses GApps will automatically reinstall your apps short time after first reboot. It takes me about 30min to setup whole the phone in the new OS. Use my sticky thread on this section for another info, especially regarding backups. Try Mackay ICS CM9 2014, you won't belive it is the same phone.
