Help With Darky's Rom 7.6 and Initial Build

I will explain in as much detail as I can what my problem is.
I am looking to install the Darky Gingerbread Rom, I have already downloaded 7.6 along with the CWM(Update zip)
I am currently using the following firmware
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband Version I9000XXJPM
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 / root9(at)sep-42 #1
Build Number FROYO . XXJPM
I have a copy of JM8 which I downloaded today and the RAR contains a Modem & PDA file, which if my memory serves me correct, these are 2 of the files i need along with the CSC & Pit File, which I also have.
From what I can gather I need to run JPY to install Darkys Rom (Correct me if I am wrong) so I downloaded a copy of JPY only to discover that the RAR only contained 1 x file called JPY_JPY_JPY. Tar. At this point I am now stuck because I am looking for a PDA & Modem file for Odin3 v1.0 to install.
Please help me as I am getting frustrated as I have tried all day in my quest to get this on my phone.
Many Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all
Best Regards GTi9K

My apologies for posting in the wrong section, shall I delete the thread, Im kind of lost with so many sections.
May I ask where I get a rom with 2e recovery or a kernel which supports it?
Not to sure what I am looking for,
Regards GTi9K

yes u could use a 2.1 rom or for example hardcores kernel both flashable with odin there are other kernels just read the corresponding threads to be sure what they do(lagfix...) disable every lagfix backup efs and apps(u will perhaps need to flash again) and be sure u have 3btn combo working...

I think you are new to the community so I will be as basic as possible,
1) Flash XXJPY, you only have 1 tar file that means you flash it with putting as a PDA in odin, and put 512 pit in the PIT section. Then once flashed successfully, let the phone boot then turn off go back to download mode and flash hardcores k12 kernel , just search it on xda in the top right bar. Then flash that in odin and again you will only have one file so place that in pda BUT DONT use a pit this time. Now place darkkys rom in your sd card and power off your phone. Hold volume up, home and power button same time until the screen lights up saying i9000 to go into recovery, select install zip from sd card with the home and volume buttons, then choose zip and select darkkys rom then once install complete, go back and reboot. You are now om darkkys rom. Happy new year

If You Did the odin to downgrade you got to root the fone again...there it a nice app call zroot and its free...get it from the market....after rootting install rom manager .....and flash clockworkmod recovery...now yuh ready to flash a rom

Tell Mee If You Got It Working Already...Or Anythinq...If Not ..I Could Help You

UHHHHH.....
Did all that already and it aborts and says something about line or something it erase everything so i have to odin all over agian ughhh dont know wat do cant live without roms

eugenes froyo isnt meant to run as a daily rom...its just a necessity you need to get back to odin another rom for stock... you odin eugenes rom then go back into download mode to odin say JFD.tar (stock 2.1) or KA6.tar (stock 2.2)

Better Instructions
Here is the sequence to fix :
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
Good luck

I know
I am doin it now then when i go back to 2.1 then i try to flash rom it wont work is it because of kernel i am usin

dont flash another kernel until you get the rom flashed first...and maybe the kernel your trying to flash isnt compatible with the rom your flashing on...

ok
I am trying instructions he gave me i will tell what happen this time

Not workin
Now i have same problem where screen is black and buttons light up wat now

try odin JFD without repartition checked

?????
Already did that it only works when i use that kernel

ok...i'm mis-understanding you...are you confusing a rom with a kernel because a kernel is part of the rom.
If you are using this Voodoo-lagfix-3.0-SGH-T959-odin-pda thats a kernel....you need to odin a rom
you need 512.pit file in the PIT box & JFD.tar file in the PDA

Ok
Will try that goin to sleep

everything you need is here

good luck

Did all this already i am not that noob at this i have unbricked it abot 5 time but this time its diffrent

I fixed it the problem was I was using 513 not 512 on odin to fix it so now time to test if the rom works alright will keep u guyz in formed

[Q] Am looking 4 stock "PHONE" file 4 Vibrant T959

Hello,
Do you know where I can get a PHONE file for Vibrant T959 to use with ODIN?? Please help...
A while back, in the process of installing a 2.3.3 ROM on my Vibrant T959, I used a Galaxy 9000 PHONE file (and PIT and PDA) via ODIN. Since then, at boot, splash says i9000 then 2nd splansh says Vibrant.
Phone works ok, but there are times when it thinks phone is an i9000 not an Vibrant - like using ROM Manager and downloading recovery.
I have looked everywhere but not found a stock PHONE file for Vibrant (only found 512 PIT and PDA files).
Please email or point me to one, if you have or know where.
Much appreciated

Hi eggnoodle,
I do not see PHONE file in the package..., only the PIT and PDA files.
Will this fix the GT i9000 splash screen and other issue? Let me know..
thx

Perhaps you misunderstood, but I was not looking for the TAR and PIT files. I am looking for the PHONE file.
Thx

If you're looking for stock rom then you can find it here

hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in...as I'm a newbie myself.

Thx anyway, but I am looking for the specific PHONE file to use with ODIN...

Hi seedofchaos,
I have flashed back to stock many a time, to install ROMS, etc. but this has not restored the Vibrant initial splashscreen. This first splash only changed after I used a GT i9000 PHONE file with ODIN.
If you can direct me to a PHONE file to use with ODIN, I would appreciate it.
I have read about the aoi toolbox but it is more than I was looking for at moment. I just need the PHONE file for the Vibrant T959, please.

Flashing the Samsung Vibrant to stock firmware does not require a PHONE file to be selected in Odin.
You might have heard that for some other phone, but for this phone all that is required is a .tar file and a .pit file which has already been linked to.
Edit: Seems like you might just have to flash a vibrant kernel. Look into flashing that.

No sir, I am not trying to flash back to stock. I am not trying to flash to stock. I know how to do that with TAR and PIT, but that is not what I am trying to do.
I need the PHONE file to restore the initial boot splash and to get the phone to stop identifying as a GT i9000 in some apps, which it does. This behavior started when I used a GT i9000 PHONE file in ODIN.
Sorry for the confusion this is causing, but if anyone has it, I need a PHONE file for Vibrant T959.
thanks

We understand what you are trying to do. You want to get the old boot splash back the only way to do that is to flash a stock rom. Jfd will do the trick. Otherwise you'll need to have a custom kernel like overstock flashed through clockworkmod.

Well, I have flashed JFD twice using ODIN, but no cigar.
I did so in the process of installing a new ROM.
Is there something I am missing? Current ROM is Simply Galaxy 3 rc2 based on 2.3.3
Thanks for all help

I think you need vibrant sbl.bin/boot.bin. Look here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756832&page=2
You can ask Jellette for bootloader.

It sounds to me like you flashed the i900 sbl and boot.bin in other words your phone has the i900 boot loader. You'll need to find the files to flash the t959 boot loader however be VERY VERY careful doing so as you have about a 50/50 chance of hard bricking your phone when doing so. The files aren't available on xda for that reason. You're only shot is finding a dev who has said files and is willing to help you out. Good luck!

same problem, what can i do??
please help!!!

Why did you tick Re-Partition?

Before you flash everything (with pit, csc, modem and repartition), you should try to the most basic solution first: Flash stock ROM in PDA only.
download firmware at: http://fus.nanzen.se/
(from Hoffighter's posting) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1350960
Download Check Fus Downloader 2.1, using the Check Fus Downloader, download Firmware N7000XXKL8 (Ibelieve it's for Germany). It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and you will get
.tar.md 5 file.
open Odin3 1.85, attach the .md5 file to the PDA field on Odin.
(Leave pit, phone, and CSC blank, uncheck re-partition)
Go to download mode and click start on Odin.
If the above steps still fail you, than you can try other things.
but I believe your problem has nothing to do with Modem, pit, or partitioning.

It seems you have raised binnary counter already.
It is strange issue, anyway try to factory reset n repeat, Disable, firewall / antivirus if any on your PC.

thank you for getting back to me. I already know how to do that and will give that a try. I still want to return my phone to complete stock. I installed a custom recovery but never flashed any custom rom's. I followed a guide on how to get it back to stock and this is how i got into this sticky situation. I used odin to upload a pit file and then a md5 file. and since that my phone is stuck at screen of a warning sign saying that there is a non stock os installed and to take it to att.
