Hi all
I am using a Galaxy S I9000 International running stock 2.1.1.
I have rooted my device using super one click (psneuter exploit).
As far as i understand it, this is the process i now need to complete:
1) Install ROM Manager
2) Using RM, flash CWM Recovery ROM.
3) Boot into recovery, and create a Nandroid backup
4) Flash Darky's / CWM / Cyanogen ROM for everlasting happiness.
I am having endless trouble with step 2 and 3.
In RM, i flash CWM Recovery ROM. But then when i boot into recovery, it still runs the old stock android recovery <2e>. I've repeated this flashing & reboot process 5 times with no luck.
Please will someone provide me with an easy noob approach, and please try to explain tech jargon if you use it.
MANY thanks!
FORGET that i read your post wrong

so you dont have a solution for me? fail.

personally I have never used rom manager to flash CWM I always use odin and do a kernel flash you should find kernel files (.tar's) at around 6-7MB which included the CWM mod) all you need is the pit and the kernel all done in a few seconds simply reboot to download mode and use odin to falsh the new kernel.
the file I regularly use is called CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.tar flashed it dozens of times it's never let me down I found it on this forum somewhere.
once you have that on you can install pretty much anything from recovery mode in CWM.
Just want to start by saying this is a great forum, lots of information, and I've read alot of it, as there are so many twists and turns depending on your device.
Here is where I am at with my first time rooting/installing a custom rom
Started with stock Model GT-I9000M, Firmware version 2.2, Baseband version I9000UGJL2, Kernel 2.6.32.9 ([email protected] #3), Build number FROYO.UGJL2.
Step 1, I rooted my device using SuperOneClick
Step 2, backed up /efs and /st13 folders via ADB and BusyBox
Step 3, Backed up apps, sytem data via Titanium Backup
Step 4, Installed CWM from Android Market, Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, selected 'Galaxy S i9000' when prompted
(Honestly this was confusing as I tried to select 'GalaxyS i9000 (MTD)' as I have the i9000M, but was prompted with the 'GalaxyS i9000 (MTD) does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet.')
Now have 'ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2' installed, but was unable to boot into it, as I found out I have 3e reovery, which doesn't allow the installation of zip files without signature verification. So after much reading I learned I can get around this my installing a custom kernel, searching this link I realized there is no CF-Root kernel for my UGJL2 build, after more reading I came across this link which said if on stock Froyo with 3e recovery to use the latest Super Optimized kernel. I now have Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected]_8_3#1725, and am able to boot into CWM recovery.
Step 5, I am following the instructions below to complete the installation of my choosen Deodexed Gingerbread ROM, and I get to the second last step which tells to upgrade to the GingerBread bootloader, but after doing so I'm reverted back to 3e reovery, with no access to CWM recovery.
Installation Instructions
1. Make sure you’ve backed up any apps / data you need to keep
I would recommend using Titanium Backup. Also, it is best when upgrading to a new version of Android to only backup your user apps and not to include any system data.
2. Copy the XXJVP_Deodexed_I9000M.zip ROM file to your phone.
3. Upgrade to the Gingerbread bootloader
You need to do this only if you’re currently running the original ROM (or any Android 2.2 ROM). Read and follow the instructions here carefully. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14013450&postcount=1)
4. Flash the XXJVP_Deodexed_I9000M.zip update using CWM.
So I have reinstalled the Super Optimized kernel, and am able to access CWM recovery, is it safe to upgrade this ROM without the GingerBread bootloader? I obviously won't be able to use the GingerBread Bootloader, as it blocks CWM. Any advice would be appreciated.
Two side questions,
1. When I was doing this post, I accidentally clicked the wrong phone in the 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery', and had to redo the flash again picking the 'Galaxy S i9000', however, now when I reboot, there is no option for the Super Optimized Kernels 'advanced ulk features' so that I can ensure that the lagfix is disabled when I get to actually flashing the ROM. If I reinstall the Super Optimized Kernel again, will that option show up again?
2. When booting the phone now, I noticed the graphic that shows the model number of the phone starts out with 'I9000M' and then switches to 'I9000', dropping the 'M', is this an issue, or do I just ignore?
Thanks again.
Hello,
I'm new at flashing but I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note, which already had Stock ICS on it.
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Got brickbug confirmed that I am running a dangerous eMMC chip firmware. I bought this Note from eBay and I'm guessing the previous owner did a reset. It is still working and I had no trouble with it, so I guess I got lucky.
Since I would like to return to a safer kernel and install Paranoid Android I read myself into some threads but would like someone to review what I've gatherd:
Flash save kernel for ICS, for example speedmod kernel with PC Odin.
Device should reboot into ICS with new kernel.
Flash Gingerbread stock ROM for my country (germany) for example this one:
N7000XXKJ4 ------ 2.3.5 2011 october-------- N7000OXAKJ4 ------------------Germany (Debitel)
Device should restart wirh Gingerbread and an old Gingerbread kernel(?)
Root and install CWM using Dr. Ketans guide and batch file.
Follow instructions to install Paranoid Android v0.4 from CWM
I have some questions for this as well:
Speedmod kernel flashes CWM with it. Does that mean it flashes the kernel and the recovery partion, too? As I understood, the CWM works from inside the initramfs, which I thought got flashed with the kernel on the /system partion (or maybe the /boot partion) but not on the /recovery.
Does CWM disapear, when I flash another ROM?
I am pretty sure, that I am running a free (= open) Version of ICS on the phone. When I install a Stock Gingerbread ROM with a Carrier afterwards (like above the Debitel company), do I have to expect weired stuff?
I am running Win 7 64bit, and I would run Odin v1.85 with admin rights. Kies ist installed. Odin found the device, too.
Thanks in advance,
gador
Speedmod Kernel will install Kernel, CWM and Root - And is flashable via odin or mobile odin.
CWM will disappear if you flash a stock ROM via ODIN, If you flash a custom ROM through CWM you will keep CWM (may change depending on kernel from the ROM)
If you flash a branded ROM via odin, You will probably get a lot of carrier branded bloatware on the device, But if you are sim unlocked, you wont get any weird issues like network unlock codes and so on.

So I guess, I can go ahead and they're no fatal flaws in my procedure?
(And flashing stock ROMS overrides /recovery as well?)
Check the videos in ky sig once
Just to be safe
Erm, All ROMs are different so double check in the OP but you wont lose CWM if you switch between custom ROMs, Only a full firmware flash via ODIN will replace recovery. However there are many variations of CWM, All however do the same job
the instructions above are correct, But seem to be a more complicated way of doing it, It says to flash a safe ICS kernel, THEN flash GB ROM in ODIN ??? That makes no sense.
Anyway, What i would do is, Revert to GB via ODIN, Flash SpeedMod kernel (for GB not ICS), Load all the files on to your SD card, Boot into recovery, Do a full wipe, Along with cache and dalvik cache, Then install PA + Gapps + any other mods !

would it then be necessary at all to install the SpeedMod kernel? I included it above to make sure, the kernel is safe, but when the Gingerbread Stock ROM overrides the kernel, do I have to flash the kernel afterwards?
I suggest you stay stock and dont do any factory reset or data wipe.
Then READ and read a LOT of the topics here.
All these suggestions of flashing this and that comes with a risk. And it does not mean that if it works for others will work the same way for you.

Yes, thats why i thought the above steps where a bit confusing lol
Flash SpeedMod (or any other GB kernel for that matter) After flashing GB via ODIN

Does one need root before you are able to flash GB via PC Odin?

I'd say no. I mean, as I understand it, you're flashing the device in download mode. There is no need for a root user.
So, against my inner "good angel", who told me to wait for a new official firmware release, I went ahead and flashed away.
It all worked and here is what I did:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restarted and got lots of force close issues.
Flashed the Gingerbread Kernel SpeedMod from here ("speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar")
Rebooted, continued to have force close issues.
Rebooted into Recovery (which is now CWM, due to Kernel update)
Wiped cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a fully working Gingerbread OS
Placed PA v0.4 and GApps onto my SD Card (from here)
Rebooted into CWM Recovery
Applied PA v0.4 from SD-Card
Applied GApps from SD-Card
Wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a workind Paranoid Android OS.
Although the SpeedMod Kernel got overridden by PA, I still have CWM Recovery.
Did you root first? and did you get the yellow triangle through flashing with PC Odin?
PS
I'm still dead scared about flashing a ROM after messing up my last gnote, never ever had a problem with my desire...it's shook my confidence tbh :-(

Well, the SpeedMod Kernel not only gave me CWM, but also root. According to PA Thread Install instructions, you would need to root your device prior to installing PA.
Yes, after flashing the SpeedMod Kernel, I got the yellow triangle, but since I bought this phone on eBay, without any bill to confirm warranty, I didn't really care about it.
I did not get a yellow triangle after flashing the official Stock ROM!
So I would hazzard to guess that this would not void warrany. (Also, in Download Mode, there was the little text saying: "Custom Binary: No" after flashing the Stock Gingerbread ROM)
So, if I were concerned about warrany, I would have a second look at Dr. Ketans guide, which describes the CWM+Root procedure without increasing the binary counter (at least I think so).
This way, you could get root and CWM after flashing to Stock Gingerbread.
I just had the problem, that Gingerbread wouldn't allow me to go into the Settings Tab to activate Debbuging, which you will need for Dr. Ketans method. (All processes were getting force closed)
If it is possible to wipe the caches and factory reset the phone with stock recovery, I think it would work. It should look like this then:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restart to Recovery. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache and do a factory reset (You just flashed Gingerbread Stock, which should have given you a safer kernel)
Restart
Activate USB Debugging and untrusted sources.
Follow Dr. Ketans Guide on how to Root+ get CWM
Continue from step 8 above.
Since I consider myself a complete noob to the flashing business, someone should propably confirm, what I've just written. I wanted to be on the safe side and therefore flashed a known safe kernel again over Gingerbread, just to be sure (and to get root+CWM)
Hope that helped.
Well mine didn't :-(
I'm now cursing after my planned upgrade failed :-( I'm stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen wondering what to do
My sequence was
a) Unpack SGN, and it upgraded to ICS
b) read about all the dire warnings on ICS - and curse!
c) figure out how to flash speedmod and get root via the temp CWM - and I was pretty happy about this for a few days..
d) battery life seemed poor - so I wondered if the Abyss kernel would help
e) Went into Recovery - which appeared to be CWM (volume & on/off to navigate) and flashed the Abyss kernel and performed a wipe (assured that my SGN was safe with speedmod)
f) Now stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen - wondering what to do?
My recovery seems to be the touch screen version now - when I can get into it.
Suggestions please?
(My old nexus One wasn't this tricky!)

Wll I reflashed speedmod with Odin - and at least it looks like its booting!... anxious minutes later.... well I/m back. I don't know what i did wrong - but |I don't want to repeat that in a hurry.
I'll wait for CM9 to come out with an approved kernel before messing further!
hi
i am on stock rooted ICS rom, with stock recovery and kernel..
I rooted this rom via some temporary cwm recovery which goes away after rebooting..
i rooted via busybox_supersu method via temporary cwm recovery.
Now how can I install new custom rom?
is a permanent cwm recovery necessary? if yes, from where can I download it? Or is it ok to flash abyss kernel via this temporary cwm?
Here's the ultimate root+cwm guide by dr. Ketan.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Just download the one for your kernel ( the last 3 numbers must match ) and run it. You'll have permanent root+cwm installed. If your kernel is not directly rootable, download and flash any of directly rootable firmwares first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And then repeat the first step.
To install custom rom like CM9, all you have to do is copy the .zip to your phone, reboot into recovery, install the zip via CWM, wipe/clean cache and reboot.
I flashed my phone first with stock 2.3.6 ROM using Odin 1.85 (with re-partition). Now I'd like to install CM11.
The problem is that CM11 requires CWM 6.0.4.5 and all CF-root kernels come with CWM 3.0.x.x. Is there any way I can root stock ROM with Odin and get the latest CWM immediately?
The way I came around this problem was to first root it with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS, then install stable CM 10.2.1 which comes with the right version of CWM, then data wipe/factory reset + cache wipe, then installed CM11. Next came gapps, Semaphore 3.4.3s and KK44_BigMem_18-nov-13.
I'm thinking that something could have gone wrong because the install wasn't clean enough (the clock once showed 4 different time values, depending on which clock I was looking at on my screen - main clock, upper right or from the drop down menu). That was with bigmem enabled in Semaphore.
1) To perform a 100% clean install do I have to re-partition it with Odin? Or can I perform 'complete format' from within CWM that's important when installing new ROM?
2) If I'd like to switch kernel from Sema 3.4.3s to 3.4.3, what should I do? Is it enough to just install it with CWM recovery? Are wipes necessary? I think kernels are installed on 'Kernel' hidden partition, so there's nothing I can do to clear it somehow. Or do they put alter the boot partition as well?
