[Q] Flash ROM`s

Hello I have a SGS with Android 2.3.4 stock rooted with unlockroot and then flashed speedmod kernel with cwm on it.
Can I install ROM`s through CWM like I do on my HTC Legend: wipe data, wipe cache, format /system, wipe dalvik cache and the install zip from sdcard and just flash it?

Hi , yes you can just make sure to follow the instructions in the op of your chosen rom , as some require flashing kernel or other files first.

[Q] Slim ICS problem! Bootloop, tried everything!

So the other day I tried to flash Slim ICS on to my i9000 but I failed. There's like three methods you can try between if the first one doesn't succeed... Non of them worked for me. I still got the same boot loop on every method, every time. What am I supposed to do? Can someone please be so kind and write me a step by step tutorial of how to install Slim ICS. Worth mentioning is I'm on Darky's gingerbread rom JVQ v10.2 RES.

You flashed ICS Kernel first? Tried to install the Rom twice? First to install Kernel and second to install Rom?

Step 1. Boot into CWM recovery.
Step 2. Wipe data/Factory reset.
Step 3. Mounts and storage> Format / System.
Step 4. Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache & Wipe Battery stats.
Step 5. Install from SD card...
i. Flash Base_3.6.zip
ii. Flash Base_3.6.zip again
iv. Flash 3.6_I9000_Essentials.zip
v. Flash any other .zips you require like face unlock
**Step 6. Flash an alternative kernel like Siyah or NEAK, SOD reports from users of stock kernel. I flashed Siyah from the beginning when I updated to 3.6 so can't comment.**
Reboot.
Happy days!
**EDIT: SORRY don't flash Siyah or NEAK because they are GT-I9100 kernels!! Ma bad!

I tried to install the rom twice without any luck. I haven't tried to install ICS kernel first though. Do you recommend one?

I've followed step 1-5 with no luck whatsoever. I haven't tried step 6. I will probably end up in a boot loop after step 5 so how do I install the kernel? Should I put the kernel on the SD card together with the rom and the essentials and flash the kernel before the reboot after step 5?

You could flash your I9000 with another ICS via Odin and then try??

OMG! I'm panicking! I just cannot get it to work... I've tried everything! Done all the methods recommended. Flashed semaphore ICS 1.1.1 and it still won't work! The only taste of this "well spoken of" rom I can get is through slim ICS v2.6, it doesn't boot loop but when booted I can't seem to get any 3g or signal. So not even that works. I WANT THIS ROM SO BADLY! Please someone help me!

Follow a thread like Team ICSSGS for dummies or ICS333 to get ICS on your phone then follow steps below (from Slim website).
From another ICS ROM
1. Download my latest Base + Essentials (from downloads page download zip not md5)
2. Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
3. Flash Base*** AND Essentials, Reboot to system.
*** - If the base flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash base before flashing essentials.
You can also clear cache & dalvik cache,clear nstools & init'd (advanced menu). You should clear cache & dalvik cache, nstools & init'd before flashing semaphore. Also once in ROM it is best not to actually use nsTools but rather use semaphore app.
No need to clear battery. My battery is as good as ever and I've never done this and I've flashed a lot of different ROMS.
if you are coming from gingerbread you will need to flash a modem.

[Q] HELP.. revert from ics back to gingerbread rom..??

Hi guys hope someone can help..
I have been on ics for few months & loving it..
Few days ago I updated my brother-in-law sgs i9000 from Darkys rom xxjw1 > updated to Dark knight rom ics 4.0.4 ...
"he wants to go back to any gingerbread rom stock or custom"..!!
Firstly I made no backup & worst of all I cannot find anything Google search (no guides tutorials info) etc
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP OR DIRECT ME..
It's it a straight simple flash of a GB ROM with full wipe.. Or is it bit more complex from what I have been told..!!

What, google is dead
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/

I thought (read from different forums) that it was a difficult procedure..
Okay can you check steps..
1 Nandroid backup current rom
2 backup apps data settings etc
FULL WIPE
3 factory reset
4 wipe cache
5 wipe dalvik cache
6 format system
7 format cache
8 format data
(I'm unsure about the others like boot, datadata, sd, emmc)
Odin flash stock xxjvu
root firmware flash kernel
Fix permissions
Reboot
Hopefully back on gingerbread
"please do correct me & appreciate any help"

Download stock then flash with odin
For me i back to ics
1.Full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik for ICS first then go to download mode.
2.Open odin tool.
3.Then flash stock 2.3.3 XWJW5
4.Done.

1. Make backup, if need. Format and cache wipping not requaired, Odin delete old partitions and create neew, if ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox is checked
2. flash GB rom with Odin
3. root, if need

Thanks all that replied & helped..
@Janka63
Have you flashed GB ROM coming from an ICS ROM.. Did Odin flash work okay..??

I've done it with wipe cache and dalvik,
format sd, system, data and dbdata.
Than flashed with Odin a Stock JW1.

I did several times since the 1st time I tried to port ICS in my phone, (the last time was before yesterday), when I was unable to enter recovery and the mobile when looping, I grabbed Odin, flashed it directly (no wipe, anything, but I bet my phone's life for it), rooted it back. Now I'm back for ICS.

wiping is unnecessary for odin roms.
Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

Thanks.. But can you explain why wiping is unnecessary with Odin (as I believe a wipe will not be done using Odin)..
I have always been advised to do wipe when flashing/switching roms whether it's using Odin, cwm recovery, Heimdall etc etc

Boot Loop

had installed latest nighlty...using cwm recovery now i want to install another rom based on jb 4.1.1..should i simply flash it using recovery or do i need to do anything else
Installed "Stock deodexed and rooted XXLSZ " after wiping dalvik cache
phone in boot loop now...wiped the dalvik cache and installed jb 4.1.1 rom..came from 4.2.2 ...anybody??? stuck at the samsung logo screen

first this should be on Q&A...exactly you need to make full wipe if want to change rom that have different base...the key is Full wipe..

Have a look here and you can know all the secrets of life that has not yet been told to you by your parents.. Lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81

INstalled PHILZ stock Kernel.. THen.. HELP!

Hellooo, I just installed Philz stock Kernel And Now i want to install Rom ANd Before installing it wipe data cache?
and Also Now i must install stock rom or can i install parandroid or such kinds?
or For parandroid its needed to flash siayh or dimiranx kernels?

If you have flashed PhilZ the device is rooted (you have rooted the phone by the PhilZ kernel method right? You'll notice a super user icon in your app drawer) and yes you can install ROMs like paranoid android. And yes before installing the ROM you have to wipe data and cache, which will delete all your data like contacts, apps, etc. So better take a nandroid backup or a backup using Titanium backup and then wipe data, cache and flash the ROM. And by the way siyah and dorimanx kernels are not available for the N7000. So DO NOT flash any such custom kernels which are not meant for the N7000, that can ruin the device. Hit thanks if i helped.

Before installing Paranoid Android, do the following wipes:
Data Wipe/Factory reset
Wipe cache
Mounts and storage => Wipe /system and wipe /preload
Advanced wipe dalvik cache
This will nearly guarantee you a safe and working install.

Dude I swear I have read all your recent threads and posts.
If you don't read the forum stickies your going to kill your device. Talking about siyah kernel are you kidding?
READ THE STICKIES and then post if you don't understand. Or your phone may become a brick.
