I`ve got the Galaxy S I9000 for a week now, and I keep getting random freezes 2-3 times a day.
Tryed 4 diffrent ROMs and they all behave the same. Now I am on 2.2.1 JPY.
Could this be a hardware issue ? Is this a known issue?
Please help.
I feel like I am back to the TyTN days :-(
Thank you.
Which all roms did you try?
Plus did u try doing a hard reset? Or a repartition using odin?
Are you on an overclocked kernel?
Give more info. Cant say anything without it. The problem could be that 2.1 and 2.2 have lag probems that can be confused with freezing ( sometimes it will be unresponsive for almost 5 mins ). This is corrected in 2.2.1 JPU, JPX and JPY. But if u have an overclocked kernel it will also cause freezing. So tell me which kernel and rom ur using and u previously tried.
Hi, I am sure it is not lag, as it was frozen for more than 3 hours..
I got 2.2.1 JPY Custom Hebrew ROM, kernel: "k12n 250" according to the ROM supplier
How do I check if have an overcloked kernel?

Try using repartition in odin and flash eclair 2.1
After that download darkys 9.1 and make sure u use the wipe edition. Flash it and let me know

A safer method would be to follow this post use Block 2 Odin method . Test after part one Eclair flashed .

But as has been said brand new phone with problems and you messed with roms and invalidated your warranty .

Thanks, but I lost my patience and returned the phone. Back to the stable iOS!

Just wanted to share with you guys, I flashed a JS7 pda and ZSJPG modem recently, and its simply amazing..the battery life is simply amazing..I had only 1% loss in 10hours..I recorded this very well before I went to sleep.the phone of course was in standby mode(NOT airplane mode), taskilled everything and its 79% when I left it there..when I woke up this morning..holy jesus..78%!!!! LOL..You don't have to doubt me, believe me or not..try it on your own..
Btw, I din't flash any kernel or use any tweaks..purely stock JS7, no lagfix no nothing..battery recalibrated of course.
you can find the modem here, big thanks to @addicted2088 for making it a .tar file so u can flash it through odin.

p.s. just found that this modem was mentioned in Doc's modem guide as 1 of the best battery life modem.lol..I think the battery life could be even better if + damian's undervolt kernel =) For those of you keep asking for battery life tips..perhaps you try this modem with damian's kernel first?
p.s.2 trust me, JPY modem sucks if you talking about battery life..I did exactly the same like above..taskilled recalibrating etc..leaving it overnight..and holy jesus..the battery dropped 4-5%..even WITH damian's undervolting kernel that time
p.s.3 YOU CAN DWLD ALL THE MODEMS HERE..A VERY USEFUL SITE, THANKS TO PERKA, YOU CAN BASICALLY GET EVERYTHING HERE, PLS BOOKMARK IT ON YOUR BROWSER =)http://perka.zapto.org/
I second that. Been running stock js7 and zsjpe modem and this has been the best setup ever on my phone. More reliable than any custom rom for me and physically just as fast as any quadrant STD hero rom out there. Its a keeper.

Guys, with JVE modem and Criskelo Gingerbread V15 ROM , I had same result - 1% over the night.
I think battery drain dependes pretty much on ROM used and apps installed, not only on modem.

I liked the jve modem alot on jv1 but was unsure how well a gb modem would be on 2.2.1.
Hows the Criskelo rom? Any fc's? Random reboots? Good enough as a reliable daily phone? I downloaded it but js7 was working so well I left my phone alone. The most reliable setup to date. Phone has not been rebooted or powered off for 4 days now and not one task killer applied. No auto record on calls. (The only reason for leaving Darkys)New subtle changes and 1500 - 1560 everytime on quadrant. Stock rom with voodoo. Happy as.

Criskelo ROM is great - no problem with v15 . Minimal tweak for low memory settings should be applied.
Does this modem support 850 band?

The same here with JVE, the best modem regarding batt life and signal reception. i tried ZSJPG, but i noticed that the signal reception was worst than XXJPY so i tried JVE and now i am happy camper.
ive tried the modem you recomend and i see improvement with my battery to !thank you !
Thanks for this guys.
Will try later.
I flashed darkys final and I got 40% drain over my 6.5 hours sleep. Spare parts told me it wasn't sleeping for 5 hours.
watch out! noob question!
can i update my phone with only modem file in odin? and keep all data?
And also does anyone have apn list for JPG modem?
In odin, what i need to mark?.. (i used it just for kernel up until now)
BTW i got lagfix should i turn them off before flushing this?

No, you cant use Odin with just 1 single modem file, you have to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265..dwld the CWM file if you are using heimdall..and then extract the modem.bin file from the update.zip you dwlded..put that modem.bin file ONLY in the modem section and flash

Yes, you can update/change modem using Odin by flashing the modem only, no pit and no re-partition, I do that all the time. The modem has a separate sector on the phone ROM, flashing modem only will not erase your applications or settings.
Good luck
tnx but what i need to mark on odin?
I am in desperate need of help you guys! I screwed up so hard that I don't even know where to begin...
THE SITUATION:
-Right now when I go to turn on my phone, it will only stay on the current SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000 screen (the very first screen when booting your phone) and it keeps flashing in and out.
Before trying to use Odin to put back the original Kernal on my phone, it was just stuck as the SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000 screen, still wouldn't start. <I followed this website step by step>
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...-to-a-stock-rom-after-installing-darky's-rom/
BEFORE ALL OF THIS EVER HAPPENED:
I finally rooted my phone and manage to download Clockworkmod recovery on my phone and then used it to flash Darky's 10.2 custom ROM. Everything turned out great except at the beginning of the boot, the screen turned all rainbow coloured, completely distorted, and it continued to do that. I then tried to go back to Recovery mode to do the Voodoo lagfix but I couldn't even get into the recovery mode anymore, it either wouldn't let me, or it did but the screen didn't go to it properly (more likely the first one). I read somewhere that if you reflash your phone again, it should make all the tweeks go away. So I tried that from the Darky's tools menu and ever since then, I've been stuck with the Boot Screen this whole time...
I already bricked my phone once, and that was before the Flashing Boot Screen.
I really need help you guys, I would at least like to have my phone back to the original basis, at least! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU
P.S. (i'm not that great at all this phone tweeking, but I've succeeded in doing it up until yesterday)
Weird colors on boot usually are a sign of an incorrect bootloader version. Since you seem to be familiar with darky stuff (ugh) you could try the darky resurrection edition; there should be easy to follow instructions on their site.

I just flashed the RE version and it's making some progress. Definitely no weird colors.
PROBLEM:
-the boot screen is still flashing when trying to boot my phone, only this time it's with the "Darkcore & Darky's ROM" logo on it. The flashing is at a slower pace this time around.
ALSO:
I can get into the stock recovery screen, I hope this can somehow help
what should I doo!!?!
Ok see your here too and more q's for you based on what I see here:
1) What did you start with as a rom before 10.2 (stock GB, Froyo rom or ???)
2) The RE version - was that GB or Froyo?
I am thinking as the other poster alluded to is that maybe you went from a Froyo rom to 10.2 without getting the GB bootloader from a stock rom (odin with bootloader update checked) and now you are still working with the wrong bootloader?
If that sounds like what happened try flashing the RE edition for Froyo (9.3 I think) if you haven't already.

Once I rooted my phone, I automatically went from Stock Froyo to Darky's 10.2 extreme edition. It worked and everything except for that color disfiguration and the clockworkmod recovery not working.
It's weird because after I flashed my first darky's rom, i checked the phone and it said that the firmware version was 2.3.X (I believe X may have been 4). So from what you're saying, I don't exactly think it has anything to do with the fact that I went straight from froyo stock to GB darky ROM.
So are you saying that I should flash darky's 9.3 for Froyo and THEN flash the latest version?
As far as i read on the Darky Site you have to activate Lagfix to install 10.2
Do you?
In other case.
Install Resurrection 9.2 FW:
(sorry. new member no links outside allowed: Go darky forum, stable roms, darky resurrection 9.2)
If that works your bootloader if for Froyo and afterwards you can go on to flash Darkys 10.2 like written in the Darky Forum.
But i would suggest to stay on Darky´s 9.5 with 2.2.1
It is the stable version with no bugs at all. This gingerbread sucks a lot with Akku Drain, Light sensor and other thing. Also no call records.
I will stay on 9.5 so far. Best solution at the moment...
The thing with installing 10.2 you installed without installing 2.3.3 rom before could be, that is maybe possible to install Darkys 10.2 Theme on a 2.2.1?
But no guarantee...

The colour distortion problem is 100% caused by incorrect bootloaders. Download jvq from samfirmware (or another 3 file gingerbread of you have one already), use the Odin version contained in the download, tick repartition and update bootloader then flash.
Download cf root for jvq and flash that as PDA without repartition. After the phone boots downlaod darkyrom from the market and from it flash darky 10.2.
Personally the kernal that comes with darkys takes too long to load the phone so I use galaxian instead. Phone flies and it's the first custom jvq rom I've used which doesn't reboot itself.

Thanks for your response! Greatly appreciated. But at the time, I'm just looking to get my phone to work. It still doesn't work, it's still only stuck flashing the bootscreen, nothing else.
From my other post:
Okay, basically at this point, I just want my phone to work I've tried what you said. I remember that before rooting my phone initially I was running Froyo 2.2.1. So I found the ROM for that ( http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm ) Just like you said. I downloaded from the *Provider Samsung Galaxy S i9000 heading and picked the I9000BOJS5 ## from February 2011 because I think somewhere around there I updated my phone to Froyo. Flashed it, did everything, still no luck.
I've had a recent hunch though. When the bootscreen boots up, it keeps saying i9000 only, when before it used to say i9000M at least for a little bit (yes my phone is i9000m). Is there a stock froyo rom that's specifically designed to go with the i9000m model? Or are they just all the same?
Never give up
-Thank you so much
Yes jl2 or kc1 roms are I9000M specific. But both need dbdata.rfs added to the roms from samfirmware.com if you repartition.
There was a post on the cm7 forums with a complete jl2 rom someone compiled with dbdata.rfs added. Look for that post as it might have some other info too.
The i9000 you see means the kernel is for i9000. But that shouldn't matter.
It's worth a try but I think that a trip to samsung is on your phones future.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA Premium App
Could be that you have a lagfix enabled and the stock ROM can't read the EXT4 file system. If so, try flashing another custom ROM via Odin (e.g. GingerReal), disable the lagfix to go back to RFS, then from there you can go back to the stock ROM.

Well CM7 forum is down but here is the most of the link, you can google this and look at the cached pages. cyanogenmod topic/15707-how-to-restore-to-stock-on-your-gt-i9000m/
You should be able to click to the multi upload link too.
Now - you are aware of course that our i9000m models can suck and die fairly readily, especially when flashing certain roms. Has yours even been returned yet? Mine has and they replaced the motherboard. You may actually have a warrenty job and in any regard they won't likely fight too hard (just flash it to one of the jl2 or kc1 rom first).
If you want to find out for sure. look for the i9000m threads where they install eclair and use the external sd to boot and then look at the memory (internal then shows as external I think - its in the thread). Basically if it shows 0 available you're hooped.

Okay, I have great news!!!!!!!!
I flashed that previous stock froyo ROM and finally can use my phone once more!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Special thanks goes to gfacer! I could never have done it without you!
needless to say, I still require a custom ROM such as Darky's 10.2 RE on this phone of mine.
As a final request, would you be so kind to list all the things necessary for me to do in order to get all the way to darky's 10.2 with the lagfix and all?
Or if not, at least a thread or website that says exactly how to do it on my phone (i9000m) ?
Thanks ever so much!!!
Great!
My advice would be to pretend it never happened, but read all the instructions for the rom you are interested in and start from scratch.
Generally I would go custom froyo kernel from odin which will root you and give cwm generally, update bootloader to gb via a stock rom or ezbase, then flash 10.2 via cwm.
Darky has excellent guides also look at ezbase thread.

To load Darky 10.2 successfully on your phone, you have to flash JVP or JVQ bootloader over your phone. The best solution is flash Stock Rom with bootloader over your phone. Then, flash Darky rom over your phone.
Good evening all,
Basically I'm looking to root my girlfriends fathers U8800, it's currently running android 2.2. He's complained that its got major battery drain so I figure I can find a ROM here that can help that.
I've read there are 3 different types of models for this handset. How do I know which one we've got? If that's relevant?
I've found this thread that seems dead easy to follow, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728 , am I ok to proceed?
When I've rooted it, do I just flash a rom via CWM like I would with my galaxy s? And will I be caught out with bootloader issues or little things like that?
Thanks in advance.
If the device is the U8800 regular model(not pro or plus) you can follow the guides of the link.
And yes, you can flash a rom from cwm recovery.
Only one suggestion. If you flash the latest stock gingerbread rom(I think is the 522), search for a thread called "get your pink screen back" on developing section. The after 518 versions have the bootloader locked, and on the above thread you will find how to flash the unlocked bootloader from 518 stock rom.
Thanks for that, I'll get on it tomorrow with an operational head. I'll do the pre root checks and make sure I have everything I need in place before I get going.

If the device is not yours I suggest you to do nothing. There's no better Rom, in terms of bug free than the original one.
Custom roms always have this or that and will require attention, which I'm sure your fatherin law can live better without these issues and concerns.
This devices have an high consumption and he has to get used to it.
Now if the device was yours meaning you would be using it daily, than i would advise you to install aurora. I don't like it but have to admit that is very good and stable.

Did you look to see what is causing the battery drain? I have a friend with a stock GT540 that had serious battery drain. Turns out it was the GoSMS program. Deleted the app and now his phone lasts 5 days between charges. Switching a rom won't help if the problem is an app.
1) Get cpu spy and see if it is going to deep sleep
2) If not sleeping, turn off running applications one by one and test via cpu spy to find out which one is causing it not to sleep.
3) Either remove the offending app or use Autorun Manager to modify the receivers (if rooted)
You can fix his problem without changing his rom. If he wants root, superoneclick can root 2.2, I just used it the other day. Also make sure he is on the latest 2.2: b138sp04 or b163. I prefer b163, even though it is the China rom, because I like the Huawei launcher better that stock.

That's not true... official 2.2 is the slowest thing in existence. If he just needs stability then Ezets CM7 is the answer. There are no bugs with it (except wifi tethering) and it's much much faster than stock...
Also he can undervoltage it to preserve battery life more than stock ROM.

You want the best 2.2 you try Void Eridanus. Everything works.
Want the speed, OEX rom it's a Ferrari. Everything works less the mms with data off.
You can also keep the stock Rom, root it and just apply a ffranco kernel. This way you gain the speed.
3 good solutions here.
I'm don't revert to stock Rom for 2 reasons, cam quality and battery life, otherwise i would use stock Rom without a shadow of a doubt.
In terms of stability and all working it's stock 2.2 Rom and this is unquestionable!!!
I have been trying ALL roms and ALL respective versions since July 2011 therefore I do speak by personal extended experience
I repeat once again, in the conditions you mention leave the phone as it is. If you want to do something just root it and that's it.
as a matter of facts i had my phone with so many rooms that i can even say how many but if u want stability i recomend oxygen... if u want stability and good looks use miui 32...
last .32 miui that i used was from miui portugal in english and nothing to say about that...
battery for 2 days and all smoth...
but my phone is weird... he can take almost every rom and be usable...
The issue with miui pt versions it's the cam quality that is horrible. It's just this detail that it's not very good. The rest it's perfect.

Reading eveyones comments here i think its due to the ammount of apps and being on froyo hasn't helped any thing, but anyways its now my new toy to play with. So far, followed the link i posted in the first thread, rooted and installed the latest CWM (v5). I'm now a little confused when it comes to the get the pink screen back, should i follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490 now before flashing a new rom or afterwards?
Again thanks for all the help, I'm almost done bothering you all for now
Edit: Reading on some ROM's and the comments above, i should install B518 stock ROM then flash the bootloader fix from the thread posted above then i can install other ROM's? If so where can i get the stock B518 ROM and how do i know which version I'm using? Sorry and thanks again.
First, which rom you have now?
You can find the version from settings -> about phone.
If you have a newer than 518 version you need to change the bootloader with the one from 518. If you have 518 you don't.
Also check which version of kernel you have(is on about phone also)
If you have a 2.6.32 version(which mean that you have froyo rom), you can flash only roms with this kernel version. If you have a 2.6.35 version, you can flash roms with 2.6.35 kernel or 3.0.8(as aurora ICS).
Basically its a stock froyo rom, im looking to get to gingerbread by the end of tonight but currently im stuck on the huawei splash screen after i did a data reset in CWM. Can still get to CWM though.
What rom you want to flash now?
A custom gingerbread based of froyo's kernel 2.6.32 like CM7.2, oxygen or miui, or the official gingerbread?
Im not particularly bothered, something that won't brick the phone and is stable. I'm more worried as to why it wont boot now after a data reset.. any suggestions for that?
You can use adb and logcat function to see where the problem is. Usually when some errors prevent device to complete the boot proccess, this piece of code loops. You need to have some knowledge of programming though, but maybe is something easy.
and now i have blue screen.. what can i do? or have i bricked it?
Where you have blue screen and what you did?
Usually blue screen instead of recovery mode, means that the recovery.img is deleted from .cust_backup/Image folder
basically, i formatted something, reboot and soon as the huawei logo appear a blue scrren rolls down. when i plug the phone into the pc it detects a folder but its empty, the phone is detected as qualcomm now..
Yes, seems that you formated the partition which has the Image folder with all system images. So, now you need to flash an official rom. You can either flash a froyo or a gingerbread rom. You can avoid this only if you previous had take a backup of this folder. In this case just put all files in (empty now) image folder.
Hey guys.
I flashed the ktoonz kernel about a week ago and it works just fine except one thing: after a reboot my phone has forgotten my wifi password and i have to connect it again.
every time i restart the phone it's the same. it worked on stock kernel.
does anyone know this problem? it's quite annoying..
--edit--
i forgot to mention that i'm on stock samsung rom android 4.3 with touchwiz
and it's the international s4 (i9505).

Question; after installed I try to flash a custom kernel (AOSP/TW/GE - 4.2/4.3 KT-SGS4 - MFD - KTweaker) and everything started to work wrong (no wifi,net fc,and many others)please tel my what kernel it's perfect for your rom and also if it's realy ned to flash a custom kernel ?

A custom kernel is not required for these ROMs as they include the stock Samsung TouchWiz kernel which I'd say is probably the best kernel for the stock ROMs.
Isn't there a way to get WiFi working without flashing a new rom? I don't want to wipe the phone actually and the kernel is pretty nice I think.
It's pretty konservative with the battery and gives me extra power when I need it.
Isn't there a WiFi-fix or something like that?

Got the same issue with 4.4.2 and newest kernel version...
Tried changing build.prop line but with no success.
Is there any kind of help or a adequate wifi fix for kitkat?
Solved: wiped cache and dalvik and fixed permissions couple of times. Now it works
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I'm using GT-I9505 "international" with Paranoid Android 4.45 and successfully installed Ktoonsez kernel (3.4.94) with flashify app using Philztouch cwm recovery.
No problems at all, everything works, not tweaking by KTweaker, just raised 2.2GHz from PA's processor settings, ondemand as processor governor and Noop on i/o scheduler.
Tried few KTweaker profiles first but didn't find any good what understands to drop processor on deep sleep mode, almost all keeps it running all the time, PA's own handling with freshly installed KT-SGS4 kernel did best job for me.
Testing with profiles was frustrating thing, there wasn't way back to same situation what I got on fresh install.. few PA flashes later stand on "default".
Props to KToonsez (kernel), Christian Göllner (Flashify) and Paranoid Android.
