Hello everyone. I'm usually pretty good at finding what I need on the net, but recently that has changed. I have been trying to get CM7 on my SGS with no luck. I have followed the Wiki (see link below) with little success, as well as the second link. Those instructions gave me a boot loop using talon kernel.
What i'm looking for is someone to help me out based on what my phone is already running.
Model Number GT-I9000M
Firmware Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version I9000UGKG3
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
[email protected]#2
BuildNumber GINGERBREAD.GKG3
I'm comfortable with ODIN (Used plenty of times to get phone back from the dead a couple of times.)
I've gone through the forums and google as well as youtube. It seems they are always on a custom kernel or firmware before going to CM7, so somethings don't apply.
I'm under the impression that my version does not support CWM recovery and that's why using ROM manager fails with a e-signature error and that changing the kernel can change that.
I know there are some really smart people in here that are already rolling with CM7 I could really use their help. File links that work, and are appropriate for my build and maybe an updated guide for the times.
If you can help me out; thank you so much! If not, I understand people are busy.
Cheers
Jay

Do you get CWM recovery to power-volume up-home)?

No I don't. The only recovery i have seen is the factory default.

Same problem here. You can't install CWR with kg3 firmware
Can someone let us know a kernel with CWR that can be flashed to the I9000M?
I've tried to flash a couple of kernels but I just get a bootloop.

Just flash to JVT, root with Chainfire's kernal, and install CM7 with CWM. None of the developers bother with making stuff for UGKG3 since not a lot of SGS ship with it.
I think I remember something about stock firmware and bootloaders.
Download a rom that has 3 files + boot loader. (I think Ramad has some JVT rom that will work)
Flash with odin, click update bootloader. If the rom isn't prerooted or if it doesn't come with CWM then flash a kernal with odin that supports it.
Then you should be able to follow the rest of the steps.

This doesn't apply. Your bootloaders are fine, and you're doing nothing but taking a risk by flashing them for no reason.

Look here. This guy knows what he's talking about.
I've never run into this problem, even though I have an i9000m—but that's probably because when I got my phone, we were still on 2.2. If KG3 is giving you troubles, the simplest solution would be to flash a different stock firmware, and then simply proceed from there. Same thing as the above user posted.
Hope it helps! And sometimes it takes time before the right person stumbles onto your thread. Paitence is a virtue.

You would need to flash a full 3 part ROM via Odin. XXJVT should do the job.
Or send me a PM and I can help.

JVT is easy to find thanks to samfirmware. I tried searching Chainfires Kernel got alot of hits but no direct link. Is there a certain version i should be using?

Hi,
I have the same problem... but no one seem to have mentioned any solutions on this thread
i followed step-by-step from the wiki, i did "heimdall flash --kernel zImage" and then the device automatically rebooted... and i am also stuck in this boot loop that goes nowhere...
any help?
Here follow the instructions I gave this guy earlier today. This will get your running on JVT with Kg3 modem and root on your I9000M....from there your can flash cm7 through cwm.

First of all, thanks again for the link ... i got the first of your advice working properly. I'm running JVT with KG3 modem....
however, for some odd reason I can't flash CM7 through CWM. I've tried the stable and nightly versions and each time I flash, I get the to point where it saids "install package" ... and then it just goes into this infinite loop where I see the standard SDS logo screen, then I see the CM7 SDS logo screen... then i see a bunch of commands that the flash is trying to run, but its too fast and I can't see what its trying to do...
either way, it just loops over and over again... and i gotta use ODIN and flash it again, but still no way to run CM7
any suggestions?

Hi jayallen,
I would like to thank you in advance for looking into this for me. I also want to apologize in advance for I think this would have been asked quite sometimes but unfortunately I am not able to find the right firmware. My phone right now is stuck at the samsung logo screen in the start. It is samsung galaxy s and the provider is Bell Canada. It does go into Downloading mode and I have tried many different .pit, pda, modems, csc files but none have worked. I am sure my phone is I9000M and on the latest version of Android (gingerbread). The phone info I think is very similar to the one below:
Model number
GT-I9000M
Firmware version
2.3.3
Baseband Version:
I9000UGKG3
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.GKG3
Can you please, paste the links from where I can get the Modem file and the firmware (PDA, CSC, PIT) which will work with Bell network provider. I think I know how to put it on the device. Any help will be greatly appreciated in regards.
Thanks.

I have an I9000GSMH on Vodafone, from Spain. I'm just having a hard time figuring out which version of the firmware I need to install on the phone to get it to the latest stock. Can someone tell me specifically which software version I need?
**EDIT**
I have decent experience with rooting HTC phones. But, my own personal device was an Evo 4G. A popular enough phone that there was loads of simple information written about rooting the devices.
This isn't really a newbie question. It's just the samsung rooting/flashing process is very different from HTC. I've tried to figure this out on my own, but the last firmware I tried to flash on the phone via Odin has resulted in a boot loop. Now, I'm just reaching out to hopefully a more knowledgeable source for the information I seek. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/v10-2-final-what-are-you-waiting-for.4253/
also checkout hdtechvideo ,totallydubbedhd,puggerduk,these guy give very good guides on flashing any rom hope it helps
I appreciate the link to the custom ROM. But, right now, I'm just looking for what stock firmware version I should be pushing to the phone via Odin.
You can try the version JVZ or JW1 are the last, you can find in Sammobile.com
Hi all,
I've tried searching the forums but unfortunately my search did not turn up anything that specifically addressed how to tackle my problem. I'm generally quite bad with computers/phones/etc., and unfortunately my first attempt at rooting my phone didn't work out. My husband isn't good with phones either. It got stuck in a boot loop and I had to flash a factory firmware to recover the use of my phone, which took me a few hours to understand and perform. (All the data however was wiped, but thankfully I had backed my data up beforehand).
I am still interested in rooting my device, but am now afraid that I will screw it up again. I was hoping someone could please help me out as I do not want to permanently damage or lose all my phone's data again. Here are the details of my phone, please let me know what I need in order to root it. I will provide any other information necessary.
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000ZSJPG
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #5
Build number: FROYO.ZSJPG
Thank you for any help provided. I would really appreciate a step by step guide if possible, because I'm so inept at dealing with these matters, and unfortunately my husband isn't much help either. Thanks all.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I tried flashing to 2.3.6 using odin3v_1.7 but I got the same problem with a boot loop again! I have flashed back to the factory firmware again, and am back at square one. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for your reply though.

If you are still on 2.2 .1 just connect it to KIES http://www.4shared.com/file/rcHB94q3/Kies_23212064_10_1.html and let it update it for you..IF it works without any problems.
or else you may have failed to Format your SD card and factory reset before flashing using odin and also do a wipe after flashing in recovery mode.
or you may have ticked repartition in Odin? that cause the boot loop

Thank you very much everyone! I really appreciate all the suggestions, will try them all out later tonight and let you guys know how it worked out.
You guys are awesome. =)
If you want to root GB, any version, use superoneclick. Works great, but you wont have a custom recovery that can flash update.zips. Or you could just flash a rooted kernel via odin so you get cwm and other features such as bln, cpu scaling etc. Also if you want to go to ics, flash an ics kernel, boot into recovery flash any ics rom and your good to go.
Good Luck!
Hi,
Personally I flash a Darkyrom GB ROM (you can find it on his website). Best part about it is you dont need to be rooted to flash his ROM. Try searching for 10.2 RE JVU on his website. All you need is a .tar file and flash it via odin. I think TotallydubbeHD has a video tutorial on youtube as well.
Trust me, its safe. I have flashed it countless of times
Thank you so much everyone! It finally worked! Everyone has been such a great help, thank you so much everyone. <3
Hi guys...
Friend requires me to recover his phone - he was using the in built memo software and it contains quite alot of personal information - last i know - the phone was never updated - still running Android 2.1 update 1, running i9000dxjf4 firmware.
The phone currently now is stuck at the samsung logo boot screen.
How can i safely recover the contents w/o doing a factory wipe/firmware reload?
Appreciate someone who can help.
Or if anyone has the i9000dxjf4 firmware on hand - please let me know how i can get it from you.
Think i might need the PDA section of the firmware.
Thanks.

Hello everyone!
I would like to update my rooted Samsung galaxy ace GT-S5830 from froyo to gingerbread. I found some topics but neither of them explained how to do it safely. Or if some of them did, the link for downloading the necessary files did not work.
Can somebody tell me how to do it step by step, please? Updating through Kies does not work for me.
Thank you for your help in advance.

brother follow these steps
1 go to sammobile
2 select you phone and country in firmware section and download latest firmware
3 switch off your phone
4 go to download mode
5 open odin and flash it
6 when pass option appears in odin disconnect your phone from pc and boot in recovery and do factory reset and wipe cache
you are done buddy
good luck :good::good:
thank you, but for some reason I can not register into sammobile. I tried that with three browsers. Can you download the firmware for the Czech republic (Vodafone)?
