How to completely reset the SGS - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hello
i'm actually using Doc rom based on JS5, with speedmod kernel K13c
everything seems perfect except 3G battery drain
some people suggested me to do a complete reset of the phone
i would like some tips to get a complete reset of my SGS
i've heard that the best way to completely reset the SGS is the following procedure
-> install 2.1 ROM with Odin (like JM8)
-> use Kies to obtain 2.2 or 2.2.1
-> install JS5 with Odin
-> install custom ROM
can someone confirm this ?
thanks for support

You SGS Toolbox, it has two menu items - one is to clear reset factory data (normal reset, sorry I dont remember exact name of this function in sgs toolbox) and the other one called Hard Reset and it also formats internal SD card, so back it up. If you use Doc's rom with one of the custom kernels, you can go to recovery and clear data there (this is hard reset without formating sd) There is also action "Factory reset" or something in default Settings->Privacy, but it's not reliable in my opinion.
EDIT: you can also flash things with Odin and set Repartition on, but be careful with this if you dont know what you do. Rather use sgs toolbox Hard Reset

thanks for your support
but why so many times in this forum ppl suggest to first re-install Eclair rom, then 2.2 or 2.2.1 and finally the custom rom to completely avoid bugs / fcs / batterydrain ?

Because most of recent rom on samdroid has one file to feed to Odin and this is not enough for repartition option, so you cannot make repartition with rom which has only one PDA file. Ppl just invented the way to do repartition by installing 2.1 first with three files in it and then install 2.2.1 or 2.2 without repartition. Hope this helps.

You only need to go back to Eclair if you have a major problem with a custom rom installed .
jje

i've a custom rom, custom kernel but the 3G battery drain is quite "insane"
that's why i thought that i could try the Eclair solution
JM8 can be fine for this process ?

I don't think that would help. Rather go through battery saving thread like "yet another battery..."

Problems with modded kernels & voodoo

I have my SGS with eclair,rooted & lagfixed with OCLF,then i wanted to update to froyo ,so i disabled both things in the OCLF programm,then i flashed JPO and installed the speedmod kernel found in this page and did de OCLF lagfix,all was good until here,but my phone give me a 1600 quadrant,so i decided to undo again the OCLF and flash the last voodoo,when i did this my phone enter in a loop of restarting ,so i flash again the speedmod kernel and the clockworkmod said me that was an incompability and i need to do a backup and restore ,i did this and my phone was very very slow ,so decided to start again doing a wipe and reinstalling froyo,now the phone gives me error in quadrant and i have the feeling like the phone isnt "clean" and i want to restore it 100% stock,what i have to do?
I think the SpeedMod kernel required JPM8 to work.
Try booting into recovery and doing a factory reset.
Then reinstall the kernel you used before trying to install SpeedMod. You should then be good to go. SpeedMod assumes that you know what you are doing.
You can go to SamFirmwares and get an original kernel and reinstall that if you want but, you will have to use Odin to do this.
You can also download Darky's unthemed kernel with Voodoo and flash it using Odin (probably best and easiest option) to get a complete solution with least drama.
A little more complex but you can use Doc's kernel which I'm using with the SpeedMod kernel and getting about a Quadrant of about 1600 (more steps involved in installing these and you need to read instructions carefully) using the Universal Lagfix.
Your phone is not broken - temporarily missing in action but easy to fix.
the thing is mate that the phone is goes well,but ,for example i have some problems with wifi,i cant do a benchmark because its throws me an error in the I/O step,and i dont know i do not feel the phone as good as my father galaxy s with same firmware.

My journey with Galaxy S-Flashing,upgrade,rooting,custom rom

Hi XDA,
I learn alot from this forum,so it`s time for me to share my experience with Samsung galaxy s.
1.Flashing,upgrade,rooting,custom rom
I bought galaxy unbranded,unlocked with Froyo 2.2.I noticed that it`s pretty slow.Like every new user first thing is upgrade.I do it with KIES(spoofed KIES) and i upgraded to 2.2.1 JPY.That was great,very good version.Then i played with the phone.I read a lot about phones so i readed alot about flashing rooting and other stuffs.I didn`t try any other version of froyo,why this one works great.
Then gingerbread is out.I allways wait for stable version.I work as system administrator(on windows and linux),and i know what is the new version.Allways wait someone else is trying that and use their experience.
I waited untill JVH.Now it`s time to flash.I never used odin so i download odin and stock JVH version from Ramad post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Downloaded version with bootloader and NEE CSC.I flash it with ODIN (follow instruction on post)and everything is ok.
Now it`s time to root.I used CF root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Pretty easy.
After that custom rom.My favourite is JUWE.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964672
I flash through CWM no wipe version 4.3.1 for JVH.It`s ok.Than i start to download custom themes,other stuff and i screwed my JUWE
Then i downloaded Ramad deodexed version JVO and i do root with CF root JVO.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Flash it with ODIN everything work fine.
Last night i decide to flash with pit file.Here what i do:
First disable tweaks on kernel(tweaks application on CF kernel).Disable voodoo soung tweaks,disable driver load.Reboot phone to apply it.I don`t use ext 4.After that format internal and external storage.
Shut the phone and remove external sd card and SIM card.I go to CWM and do Clear cache and clear dalwik cache.After that factory reset.
Flash with odin with pit file.I use stock JVH rom again with bootloader from first Ramad post and i follow instructions on thread to flash it with pit file.
After that CF root,boot the system and don`t enable any tweaks.
Downloaded JUWE 4.3.1 JWH wipe,JUWE TW4 and Juwe circular baterry.Reboot in recovery.Flash JUWE 4.3.1 JWH wipe and boot phone.Reboot in recovery.Clear cache and clear dalwik cache.Boot phone.Reboot in recovery.Flash JUWE TW4.Boot phone.Reboot in recovery.Clear cache and clear dalwik cache.And finally Juwe circular baterry,flash it and wipe baterry stats through CWM.
And thats it.Everything working.
Thats preety much it.
Adviceon`t change custom rom alot.Stay on one rom and follow that.Be carefull with custom themes and other modifications.Use the rom that has allready stuff applied(CRT off,overscroll glow,themes,etc).
Thank for pattience while reading
Thank u for sharing, I've been using cm7 for 2 weeks now. It's unfinished business but exceeds all other roms in terms of speed & stability.
May I ask why did u advised not to flash a lot?
Sent from my GT-I9000 CM7 using Tapatalk
Let the gingerbread to bread as i saw on one post in forumThat`s why.I prefer to use one custom rom,one kernel and watch the development of that and do the upgrade with new versions.Butt that is just my opinion.

Proper Lite'ning ROM installation

Hey all.
I cannot post in the development section as I just recently made an account.
Sorry to ask a noob question if it is, but I had stock SG2 with carrier bloatware installed when I first brought my SG2 and last night I installed Lite'ning ROM 1.4, now Im not 100% sure but touchWiz and other Samsung apps etc are still installed, my question is - wats the proper noob friendly way to completely wipe my phone and then flash with Lite'ning rom ?? So its like a fresh install as if I just reformatted my PC. Or is this not needed ??

hey!
Lite'ning ROM 1.4 is not a complete replacement of your stock s/w. Its just a Stock Kernel with some tweaks. Lite'ning ROM 1.5 is more or less the same thing with a few more tweaks and LitePro removed the TouchWiz from it. You can install Lite'ning ROM 1.5 if you want to get rid of TW4.
Now, coming to wiping everything, I am not an expert on that... all I can say that its not as simple as reformatting the PC . But you can try Factory Reset (shutdown phone then hold vol-, home and power button together).
HTH,
Dull
Thanks for your info.
So if I reboot into recovery and do Factory reset, would I still be able to go into Download to instal Fresh lite'ning ROM 1.5 ?? I feel as if because I have not completely wiped my phone I dont get any real battery improvements, some people claim in VillianROM they have 2x better battery!!
For VillianROM how would you install that ?? odin doesn't work with that type of file.
Thank you
For VR, may be you can push CF-Root using Odin and flash VR 1.4 under recovery mode
Before flash just ensure you wipe cache partition (vol up + home + power) use vol buttons to navigate the menu and select with home button. Also download 'battery callibrator' from market place and run this when you have 100 battery. After each flash I do this so my battery data is new each time I install a new rom.
You have to use a different method to flash Villian rom, as you can't with Odin his instructions are pretty easy to follow. I personally found litening a better rom but Stock KF3 has been the most stable and better battery for me

ok thank you for your info mate will try your suggestions
I have this way and I get really bad stutters when I open close things on my phone, I think I may go back to lite'ning 1.4
Mine SGS2 with Lite'ning ROM 1.5 still has TouchWiz and LauncherPRO in addition.
I installed my 1.5 straight over my bloated phone. If i now cleared cache and done a factory wipe, can i leave it at that? or should i reflash over it again after doing that?

Bionix 1.3.1 to ICS

Can someone please explain to me how to go from Bionix 1.3.1 to ICS? I have read a lot (perhaps too much) about GB bootloaders, etc. but am not sure what is required.
Do I need to have a GB ROM installed before going to ICS?
I have also seen guides for going from 2.1 to ICS, but that is not my situation.
I guess my main area of ignorance is that I have never flashed any bootloader of any kind.
If I go to ICS and want to restore my Froyo backup do I need to flash a bootloader before I do that?
Obviously I'm confused about the whole process.
Thanks for any clarification you can give me.
See my guide to go from 2.1 to ICS and one if the top lines tells you how to go from Froyo to ICS.
GB bootloaders are no longer needed but suggested. Probably the only scary part of the whole process, but it is actually the easiest.
CM7 needed before ICS or not?
From a post in the same thread as your guide:
"
If you want a stable 2.2 try Toxic8 (I run this with Gingerbread theme as my "home" ROM when I am not testing), Deranged9, Bionix (no longer supported) and Bionix Fishman's version (this is supported), Bi-winning. All you have to do to flash these is follow the instructions above and when it comes time to flashCM7, skip it and flash the ROM of your choice."
Does this mean that if I have Bionix already that I don't need to go to CM7 before ICS?
There are a couple of ICS Roms where you can come from froyo. You have to probably flash it twice to get into the specific cwm.
To get back to you bionix, you have to use Odin to get back to stock.

This is from a different thread in a different context. Someone was asking how to flash a custom ROM, IIRC.
If you want ICS, you have to flash CM7 first, let it bootloop, pull the battery, reflash and then once it settles, flash ICS.
Also, don't apologize for being detailed or thinking that you are reading into too much, Wished more were like this.
From the Guide
This is for a clean install. You can also install straight from Froyo. Just start at the CM7 part below and skip the Odin portion.

so any luck with getting to ICS from bionix 1.3.1...cause im still in the same spot...and im very wary as to what to do as well...so if any luck...please let me what you did...
I just did it
If you follow the instructions in the Passion ICS thread it's pretty straightforward. I had never used Odin before even though I had flashed Bionix almost a year ago. I'm not a phone guru, just somebody who likes to mess with these custom ROMs.
These steps are high level, you can find specific links in numerous places.
Here's what I did:
- Download Odin
- Download the required files to flash the phone back to stock 2.1 (.pit file and .tar file)
- Backup apps with Titanium (don't bother backing up the system it's different in newer versions anyway and all you'll have is trouble if you try to restore system settings)
- Backup anything else you feel is important on your internal and external SD cards
- Use Odin to flash the phone back to stock
- Root the phone (using the update.zip technique)
- Install clockwork recovery (I found an update.zip for this too)
- Flash the Cyanogenmod version of ICS (no longer under development but you need it for the boot loaders). You will likely encounter a boot loop in this process. Don't panic, just pull the battery once it loops a few times. Boot back into recovery and flash again.
- From this point you can now flash ICS using clockwork, following this you can restore your apps with Titanium if desired
ICS totally rocks by the way. I've been using Passion v13 RC1 for a week now. Tried the newest one Euphoria but it didn't work out for me.
I have to admit that I never tried ICS. I have been using an ICS theme for a long time so my phone looks like it has ICS on it. I was also leary of the mute/unmute problem I had read about and wasn't sure about how well good GPS was.
I've been testing out the ICS that is to become CM9 with the latest build being 16 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503038
It's really stable... granted not everything is implemented such as a number of the settings screens. But I was on CM7 when I installed it so I was able to just flash it direct.

This method works great! I used this last week and had some trouble with boot loops. But nothing that can't be fix with removing the battery. I suggest finding the youtube video that is on the ICS Passion thread. The person does it on real time, so you can follow along as you do it.
I love ICS passion. It is as smooth or even smoother than Bionix.

No need to have GB boots and if you want to go back,odin to stock to reflash Bionix and then your nandroid.
This is a great ICS rom and I'm a huge Bionix fan,with a 1.3.1 and 1.3.1 Fishman final nandroid backup.
I flashed Passion ICS rc13 on 2 Vibrants, one from Bionix 1.3.1 and another from trigger 2.2 and skipped some steps (like GB bootloader) and they are working just fine.
My steps:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Flash CM GB.
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Flash Neobuddy ICS
5. Flash kernel.
6. Let the phone boot, sign up and do its setup.
All in all, took maybe 30 minutes first phone and 20 min second phone once I got more comfortable.
bionix 1.31 striaight to CM7 then on to ICS?
Do you have to go back to stock? Why couldn't you just flash to CM7 then go on to ICS? I am on Bionix 1.31 and this process just seems easier.

I think mute/unmute is hit or miss. But if you are worried about or need GPS, dont flash an ICS rom.
Also, when upgrading fro 2.2 -> 4.0, take out your external sd card prior to that! It might cause a bootloop when flashing the initial CM7 rom. I happened to me and also other people on youtube (where I found out, was the source of the problem)

It's mainly to get rid of any ghosts left from other roms to avoid any bugs not caused from the rom you install and avoid giving a rom a bad review without giving it a clean canvas to start with.

Just like any rom you got to give it some time, when you have a couple of cycles of battery charge and discharge it will be 100% when you unplug.
Also make sure you unplug the cable asap when its 100%....3 to 5 cycles and should be fine.
Good luck
Hi,
When I follow your procedure up to step 10, it finishes instantly and ODIN says "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)". Any idea? :O

As it turns out, I didn't have any Samsung drivers installed. I downloaded the installer from samsung.com, it detected and installed the composite driver and after restarting ODIN, it found a device on 'COM6', working now

first of all, thanks for the ROM. The above means it will clear the internal SD card?
thanks again.

Anybody know why darky is not joining the ICS madness? I used to love this rom.
My extensive reading brought me here and this looks like a friendly place so here goes.
I'm considering trying Darky 9.5 specifically for the Call Recording.
Q 1: Can I simply extract the Phone.apk from Darky v9.5 and use it in DarkROM v10.4.2, or my current stock JW1 ROM?
Q 2: If I move to Darky ROM can I re-use the (stock) KG3 baseband/modem as it is for Canada?
Q3: As my sig shows, I am (at present) on stock JW1 + stock KG3 modem, + Semaphore kernel. Do I need to flash back to full stock KG3 or JW1 before proceeding? I use Odin.
Thank you!

Q3: As my sig shows, I am (at present) on stock JW1 + stock KG3 modem, + Semaphore kernel. Do I need to flash back to full stock KG3 or JW1 before proceeding? I use Odin.
Thank you!

Q1 Not possible, call recording only works on froyo based roms, DarkyROM v10.4.2 is based on Gingerbread.
Q2 If you move to Darky 9.5 you can use froyo compatible modems, so check if that one is compatible with 2.2.1 froyo versions.
Q2 if you want to flash darky 9.5 just follow my guide above, exacly as i say, you can be using any rom atm so doesnt matter, the guide is valid independently of the rom you are using because flashing with odin will erase all and install a js8 base.
Good luck hope you enjoy..call recording rulez ;P
Hey, this rom works great but I have one problem. The wi-fi won't work... I've tried the ad-oc one and the original one. Wifi is working fine though because my laptop is connected to it. I've tried forgetting it and reconnecting etc. But no luck. It says its connected but no data transfer. Any suggestions?

Never had a non working wifi in any rom, so ill try to help just gessing logicaly.
Try to see if the wifi works in another router, go to a friends house, if its not working i think either you did something wrong in flashing steps, or the wifi is broken at a hardware level.
Sry i cannot be of more help good luck.

Will not work on a N + G router, change router to G only and it works.

Thanks for the clear reply!
Not sure I want to go back to Froyo. Is there any possibility for Call Recording with GB ROMs?
Do you know if the Call Recording is dependent on the Kernel, as there are market Apps that can do it, but not the one I was using, at least not with Semaphore 2.5?

I think there are some market apps that can record in GB roms not sure, i tryed some long time ago and no app worked, but it can only record with phone mic so you only hear your voice...maybe turning phone loud speaker on can be possible to record the other side also...but the quality might be from really really bad to even worst then that , if you want crystal clear call recording must be on froyo.
So if you really want and need call recording must be on this rom, best froyo you can get...for me call recording is a very handy feature that i cannot afford to not have.
This ROM look's very cool.
It deserves a try.

I had acceptable luck with Auto Call Recorder using Stock KG3 2.3.3 Firmware . I have tried JW1 with two custom kernels with same bad results so I suspect something in the JW1 firmware (not the custom kernels) is the cause .
Should I follow these instructions or the one posted on Darky's website?

I'm on a completely stock I9000 2.2 firmware...
Thanks!
