[GUIDE] Guide to installing Darkyy's ROM - Galaxy S I9000 General

Dear XDA Members
Dear XDA Visitors
We, this means addicted2088, M3kker and myself, encountered a lot of people trying to flash their SGS with a custom ROM but failed almost always at the same point.
We tried to help them in Darkyy's IRC channel as good as we could.
So we decided to work together and created this Guide. We take no credits for the methods described here, only for putting them all in a single thread. We hope this will clear up some misunderstandings regarding the flashing procedure.
As this is a joint effort by us three, instead of writing the guide here, we have created the guide over at Google Docs (link below), which allows us to work on and edit the guide together.
Enjoy reading and please post your comments in this thread.
Don’t forget to hit the Thanks button if you find it useful.
Big thanks goes also to addicted2088 (see second post) and M3kker (too shy). Hit their button too.

Hey guys, addicted2088 here, the co-writer of this guide. Hit my Thanks button too, if it's not too much of a problem.. But most of all, enjoy the guide!!

Wrong forum section...

let the admin move it if there is need
hey doc - also big thx for your work here and this awesome rom kitchen idea.

Good effort here.
Odin 1.7 is better at NOT semi-bricking a SGS. check it out. A lot of people have come out of a semi-brick after switching from 1.3 to 1.7
EDIT 1 - A faster way of doing things is instead of flashing CF-root, Odin flash Hardcore's kernel. You get root, superuser & everything & you can directly flash a CWM package ROM.

Quick question about that. I installed k12i via Odin and wanted to make a backup using ROM Manager but when I clicked the option to backup from within the app, the phone rebooted and I got a signature verification error in recovery 3e menu. That's not supposed to happen is it?

Backup is built into k12i.

We just though CF-Root is an easy enough method to get Recovery 2e. Rooting isn't required to flash ROMs, only Recovery 2e, so we used this method..

I think your howto is great, well done.
Just a connection to other roms and some explanations about the files and will be perfect.
Just a question,
Do we have to do cfroot after we flash any rom so we can have 2e again?

Unless you flash a ROM that specifically contains and installs Recovery 3e (mentioned in ROM features), or you flash a stock Froyo ROM, you don't have to install CF-Root (recovery 2e) again.

Great work guys and thanks,but the title says Kernel and Theme as well,all i see is Darkys rom,so what about the ones that did it and want to move on another Kernel or another theme,shall they figure it out on their own?
Thanks

this guide is for darkys rom. if someone wants to switch to another rom/kernel i would suggest they reflash a stock rom. just to have a clean stock froyo base to start from.

Whats more urgent is an official help section for those having problems with Darkys rom .
The number of help problems is growing to a huge proportion of posts seemingly users are getting no help from the Darky thread .

Many many many thanks. Worked like a charm.
M3kker, you're also very much thanked. May the force be with you.. always..

I agree as it applies to me.I m stuck on Darkys rom at the moment,i hate it,but i see strange things happening when i enter recovery,therefor i am afraid to flash it once again and move to another one.I would appreciate some help and although i ve posted here and there,or sent some pms,none seems to answer in here.

Thanks!
I like the guide a lot, and maybe it's handy just to write the 3-button fix guide, if you have some spare time.
'Cause i'm having trouble understanding it, and unfortunately my 3-button combo is disabled.

We understand that people are having problems with Darky's ROM, but we have only written this guide who wan't to go to Darky's ROM from a stock phone.. as for not getting help at Darky's page, it's difficult for Darky to reply to each and every question that is posted in his thread..

Root JI6 (Froyo) by Swapping Kernels

For those among us who aren't terribly comfortable using the RageAgainstTheCage method to root this sucker there is an alternate method! This method DOES however require some familiarity with Odin, so if you aren't cool with that or if you have zero experience using key combinations or flashing I wouldn't recommend this.
Things you'll need:
JI6 Kernel
http://www.multiupload.com/FEJ1YHMM2I
JF6 Kernel
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//test/kernel-captivate-stock.tar.md5
Root via update.zip
http://www.multiupload.com/02RXSWORVC
And Odin of course (NOT THE ONE CLICK DOWNLOADER)!
http://www.multiupload.com/DLS7TWUVPY
1. Place the update.zip on your internal SD card.
2. Power down your phone
3. Boot into download mode and set up with Odin
4. Place the JF6 kernel into the PDA slot, and uncheck auto reboot, hit start
5. Once Odin has finished, remove your battery and close Odin.
5.5 Also remove the USB cable!
6. Put your battery back in, press and hold both volume buttons, and power on
7. You SHOULD be in stock recovery now, select "Reinstall Packages" the root update.zip should run.
8. As soon as the phone attempts to reboot, remove the battery, start Odin, use key combos to get back into Odin
9. Flash the JI6 kernel back to the phone
10. Profit!

Why do you go from the JF6 to JI6? Just wondering
Why am I too entoxicated to flash my ****?! Zilch I blame you...
P.S Did you get my beer and hookers?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
whoa...definitely a weird way to go about things, but also seems easier (for the average user) to successfully root.
on the other hand, i would be willing to bet a one-click will be up tomorrow (someone said they would do it, don't remember who).
anyways...like always zilch pulls through! nice job man
The reason you have to switch, is that the JI6 kernel enforces Signature Verification on update.zip packages, so using the root zip package fails horribly. However JF6 does not share the same opinions on unsafe update packages and will eagerly gobble up whatever you feed it

This just adds root, not sideloading CLShortfuses thread covers the sideloading stuff. Also, for some reason Titanium is messed up on this froyo build, can't find the apks =(
Thank you. I knew this didn't do the sideloading...I should've mentioned that I tried to sideloading manual way but it didn't understand cp....i'll check the other threads. Thanks for the quick reply!

Zilch25,
You da man. The JI6 kernel is what I have been waiting on. I rooted (using the JPH kernel swap method) and have been sitting on the i9000 JPH 2.2 kernel, trying to figure out how to dump the JI6 kernel.
Did you dump the JI6 kernel your self? Do mind sharing a link or a quick PM on how you dumped this?
Thanks

Actually credit goes to designgears for grabbing the kernel first, he beat me to root by about 5 minutes haha, I did however repack it for flashing myself =P But if you're interested in how to pull it, you need root first obviously, then from adb shell:
Code:
cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage
Then you just have to pack it up properly to be "Odin friendly"

[STOCK ROM 2.1][.TAR][.ZIP] Odin JF6 w/ 3 Button Fix

I do not take any responsibility to what you do with this, if you brick your phone, that is not my fault, you must understand what this tool is and how to use it. This CONTAINS a bootloader and can brick your phone if you flash this coming from GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADERS (i9000-->JVB, JVO, ect. Captivate-->KF1)
First of all, this must be credited to C3P0LOL, as he is the one that first uploaded this a long time ago for the unlucky people that had their 3 button combos removed.
The reason I'm posting this is because of the fact that for me being a Build 1010, when I use Odin One Click it frys my 3 Button Combo, and it wont boot, thus I need to use a jig to flash again with Odin and the JH2 firmare, and then use the One Click Root Me tool to then get ROM Manager, which will then get me the 3 Button Fix.zip I flash from there.
^^So obviously from reading that, that's a 20-30 minute process just to get the 3 button combo...
WARNING:
IF YOU ARE COMING FROM STOCK GINGERBREAD WHETHER IT BE i9000 or the new Captivate KF1 bootloaders you MUST FLASH Odin-One Click, to flash your bootloaders back to stock
WARNING #2:
FLASHING BOOTLOADERS CAN BE POTENTIALLY HARMFUL AND ESPECIALLY ONLY FLASHING ONE (*SBL in this situation). THIS IS SIMILAR TO IF YOU WERE FLASHING BACK TO STOCK WITH ODIN ONE CLICK BUT JUST REMEMBER YOU CANNOT FLASH THIS FIRST COMING FROM GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADER IT WILL COMPLETELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
After you flash Odin One Click and your 3 Button Combo is disable flash the below .TAR File with the Odin from the link below and the .512 PIT file from below and you'll be on stock 2.1 JF6 with the 3 Button Combo.
How too flash coming from Gingerbread Bootloaders:

***Note name change the new name of the .tar file is: PDA fix.tar***
For Build 1010's [+] that CANNOT use Odin One Click and coming from GB Bootloaders
1. Flash Back to stock with Odin One Click to get the 2.1 Bootlaoders
2. While your stuck in the boot loop use a jig to get your phone back into download mode.
2.1: You can build your own JIG
2.2 Or you could buy one from MobileTechVideos
3. Open Odin from below and put the .512 pit into the PIT, and the PDA fix.tar file in to the PDA
4. Click Start
5. Voila you will be on stock JF6 with 3 Button Combo working.
Again I understand that this may not be super helpful anymore but I have noticed a lot of people including myself are wondering where the 3 Button Fixed Odin is, well here it is hope you enjoy!
Again one more time ALL CREDIT GOES TO DESIGNGEARS FOR CREATING THE 3 BUTTON FIX.zip and C3P0LOL for creating this extremely helpful 3 Button Fixed JF6.tar
Download link will be courtesy of echelonMCRhartgrenade. Thank you so much, mine just wouldnt upload, but here it is:

***I also attached the 3 Button Fix.ZIP that you can flash through CWM, again DO NOT FLASH THAT .ZIP WHILE ON GB Bootloaders***

Thank you! But again I am super sorry I posted the thread and it should have finished in what MegaUpload said 15 minutes.
Then some bad weather came and the upload froze. It should be done within the next hour but Im SUPER sorry for the delay for the 3 Button Fix JF6.tar
But hopefully since the download link isnt there people will just re read the warnings as this is a very helpful and very productive flash but it is also a risky one.
Download link is up!
Enjoy!
If you have questions PM me.
I could have used this thread 2 weeks ago! Oh well....
Why isn't this in DEV?
Moved to proper forum.
Have you bothered to read through development at all? This is the 2nd repeat of a discontinued thread.
On top of that the new ATT bootloader package fixes the 3 button fix. What you are posting is only going to cause more hard bricked phones.
If you need to go to jf6 stock, use Cezars safe method in my sig. No bootloaders are involved. Then flash the ATT gingerbread bootloaders. They are backwards compatible, and they fix the 3 button problem.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD TO FIX ANYTHING.

I understand but I have given proper warnings and people should understand the risks. I only made this in the general sections because of the people that need this (like me) and a couple other users this will be very helpful.
Sorry this isnt helpful too you but it is helpful to someothers, and for users that havent taken the leap to Gingerbread yet this will be very helpful to them.
But if you flash the new bootloaders, you won't need it either. Just because they are gb loaders doesn't mean you have to run a gb rom. They will run gb, eclair, or froyo roms.

Alright then I didnt know that. I'm sorry, but thats also part of the reason I put this in general.
Me, and plenty of other people were just looking for the 3 Button Fix. You can ask the mod to take it down but I made this because I thought it would be helpful for people that wanted/needed this to have it again.
Yea this is really only for people still running 2.1 or 2.2 builds that flash back to stock and lose the 3 button. (Like I used to) I needed this a lot back in the day but not anymore since GB.
I apologize if I sounded like an a$&##$. That was not my intent. I merely wanted you avg those to realize this was no longer necessary

hahaha no I understand I probably should have done more research, it was just I noticed a couple threads in the Q&A section about wheres the 3 Button Fixed JF6.
So I decided to help those people out, and myself out with creating a sort of reference thread.
Sorry for clogging up the actual development here haha.

Please Help Me! :( I'm Scared.

Hi there.
I have rooted my Galaxy S2 and have decided I want to unroot it and remove Superuser and ClockworkMod and everything that I gained when I rooted it. I have tried superoneclick, flashing the default kernel onto the phone and I dont know how to remove superuser.
I would like to restore the phone to factory settings, and I'm scared and dont know what to do.
Please help me I will be eternally greatful.
Benjamin.
flashing stock kernel should have done it download the corresponding stock rom from samfirmware (follow instructions closely) and then should have to correct stock, unrooted software on your s2 just make sure 100% its for the correct region, why do you want to flash back can i ask? cant see any benefit other than you warrenty
Flash one stock rom or flash only a kernel the stock rom
please make it simple for me.
Isn't Superuser just an application you can uninstall if you just don't want it anymore? And SuperOneClick has an option to unroot the phone again (although I have never done that because I never needed it but I suppose it works if you just click on the big button for it).

As far as I'm aware you have to flash a stock rom. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Also flashing stock kernel will not remove root.

Flashing stock kernel won't remove susperuser.. Flashing whole ROM does.. One way of removinf the triangle in boot up is Flash CF-Root then flash stock kernel then through CWM manager flash the zimage of CF-Root.. As you can see when CF-Root was flashed over with stock kernel superuser and cwm manager still remains.. So better off flashing whole firmware rather than just stock kernel..

I'm mean I don't know what you are scared of, may be you are new to rooting and feel something is going to happen to the phone.
Just make sure you know what you are flashing, read change logs, flash from trusted sites like xda, verify md5 sum, don't simply flash anything you find on the net.
If you are still not comfortable, download what ever stock firmware version you want, flash thru Odin and you will be good.

Harden up.
Search the forums & find an original complete ROM/firmware for your provider & download it.
Use Odin to flash it.

Hi Benjamin. Don't be scared. It's quite easy really. Follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
Download the firmware nearest to your original firmware. Read the thread in the link above carefully and you'll be able to restore it to a factory state.
android is definitely not suited for everyone...

Your best bet is to start over by flashing the stock MF3 files using ODIN. From there, re-root your phone, reinstall SafeStrap, and try again. You most likely flashed a non-TW based ROM... remember only TW roms work with SS right now.
If you have any other questions, I'll try to explain it in more detail.

First off, download ODIN 1.85 it seems to be the one that most people have the best luck with.
Grab the MF3 TAR files
Extract the MF3 files to a folder, say on your desktop. ie. MF3
Open ODIN and refer to this picture...

For more information about how to use ODIN you can refer to here, and here.
I've personally never had to use it, so my steps are only from general observation. You might want to double check yourself. So if anyone has has any other info to help him feel free to post.

Extract the MF3 files to a folder, say on your desktop. ie. MF3
Open ODIN and refer to this picture...
For more information about how to use ODIN you can refer to here, and here.
I've personally never had to use it, so my steps are only from general observation. You might want to double check yourself. So if anyone has has any other info to help him feel free to post.

What you have here looks good. I use Odin every once in awhile just so I remember how to use it.

two out of three, corrected it. Thanks
Thanks for doing this - he has every right to retire and request his privacy, but it was also sad to see such a well loved rom disappear.

In "how to flash the rom" section 12 doesn't require as v8 is packed with Philz Kernel. That section was firstly added as earlier versions were packed with c.o.h kernel which required that settings. Thanks

V8 got ~2700 downloads counts only from one hosting server (mega doesn't show download counts) almost same as previous versions in less than 2 weeks, but if you read several last pages of thread all you see are negative points and "not working" tags and I realized there is no balance for me to keep it open and pursue development spending my precious time and receiving bad feedback. You can drop your themes here I am sure there are a lot to just download and use your themes.
Removed line 12. Thanks, didn't read it yesterday evening.
Balance: this is the best description for what is missing in most Rom development threads after a while.

Agree to that. Since V7 n now V8, I have not touched any other roms.

heh, i broke the sim card tray out of mine, and then the gyro broke so no auto rotation so mines happily on V6 (for now) as a bluetooth media player in my car.
being given my dads old one (he has a note 3 now) that will jump straight to V8 and be re-gifted, and was horrified at the thought of it on stock. arya was just so much better than the stock roms in speed and reliability.

By saying in stock, V8 was referring to stock "look". In terms of performance, it can't even be compared to stock. I personally welcome it as stock look does give a nostalgic feel that make a Note, Note. But of course that doesn't apply to those just recently start rom flashing

@ThaiDai
I keep getting untrusted connection when I use the URL on the OP and 404 errors on the discontinued forum for downloading v8. Help/advice appreciated.
Shalom and kind regards John

You can find it in my signature, I have uploaded to Mega and it has 2 fixes; removed lockscreen preferences as it caused issue in landscape and replaced proper walkman with working visualizer. After flashing this version update binary as normal update. Dear ThaiDai! feel free adding it to OP.
