[Q] Problem!!

Hey noob question here. I flashed the viper rom and I don't like it . How do I unflash it, as in make things back to normal.

The obvious answer would be use your backup if you made one. If not you can flash a different rom. If you decide to flash a 2.1 rom you'll need to flash a 2.1 kernel as well. If you want to go back to stock I would just odin back to stock. Instructions here:

except use the file from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138

I would consider something like the acs dk17 because it's completely stable and it is essentially the same as a 2.1 stock rom but it has the capabilities of 2.2. Going back to 2.1 would (to me) be the same as using a stock dk17 rom like acs, which I'm using right now and loving. Two cents.

odin
Is there only one type of odin because the link you gave me for restoring had a broken odin download link. I see another odin download that's for the acs dk17 and was wondering if it'll be the same.

Yeah you can use the new odin. If for some reason that fails pm me and I'll give you the old version of odin.

Just got my Galaxy S (bell version)

I guess i want to install Darky's v8.0 firmware i just need help getting started.
1.) Do i need to root first?
2.) ClockWorkMod Recovery what do i need to do to get it installed? Just put in on the SD card and go into recovery?
3.) What about SIM locks? The phone is locked to bell.
My phone has Froyo 2.2 JL2 from Bell Canada and in the recovery menu i see 3e which i know needs to be downgraded to 2e.
If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. I read the tutorials in the samsung vibrant section but since that a different phone then i9000 i dont wanna take any chances.

No you do not need to root first.
Go into the I9000 Android section of the forum's and into the speed mod thread and flash hardcores kernel with Odin using his instructions. This will get you 2e recovery and clockworkmod the program used to install custom roms.
After that download Darkys rom onto your SD reboot your phone into cwm recovery its the default recovery with hardcores kernel and the choose update from SD and select darkys Rom and that's it wait for it to install.
I would provide links and such but I'm currently away from my PC.

i was reading it all days yesterday both ways. But i can't find a JPx ROM that word work on my bell phone. Dose it matter that its locked? or do i just pick and flash?

You can flash with it locked, just means your phone is still locked after you flash.
If you flash the speedmod kernel, you get 2e (as mentioned earlier), and you also get an option on the recovery menu to root the phone. I suggest rooting, I think you need root to generate your unlock codes.
Download an app from the market called SGS Unlock... This will generate the unlock code for you.
Of course if you're using Bell, don't worry about unlocking. Locking to a carrier as far as i know, will not prevent you from flashing and using other carriers' roms. But then again, it's so darn easy to unlock, why wouldn't you anyways?

why not flash CF-Root v1.3? is it not the same thing and thats what it says to use in Dark'y thread.
So i guess find a JPx ROM use Odin and flash it and then flash the kernel either CF-Root v1.3 or speedmod and then flash Darky's ROM?
EDIT
I just installed the speedmod kernal, do i need to now install clockwork recovery? i think not coz its part of speedmod kernel?

i should really read Samdroid_G_S post

And in a couple of weeks when the internal SD is dead you can collect your $100 credit and get a new one!

Btw once on this kernel can we flash any Rom or only 2.2 and higher, I read somewhere that JL2 was special has it can't be downgraded.....
thx
1 post!!!!

nah i been messing around with it all day finally had darky 8.1 installed to find it was broken. Just flash hardcore speedmod kernel and then flash darky 8.0 WIPE and then Darky NO WIPE.
Dont delete any cache or anything after you flash to 8.0. From 8.0 just update right away.

I flashed Darky's V7, V7.7 and V8 then went back to JL2 in between each without any problems. I try a lot of different ROMs and always end back at JL2.
Ian

load it up with Darky's v8.0...then flash just the JL2 modem using odin, then flash the speedmod kernel (12M now I believe) using odin or CWM.
Battery life is better than when on voodoo kernel and the JL2 modem makes GPS better (all this on bell's galaxy s of course).

i may go back to the JL2 Modem as well, just gonna test it for a few days. You should install 8.1 NO WIPE as well.
Do you just hit the PDA button in Odin and select modem.bin and then hit start?

Yes you put the jl2 modem file in pda and hit start

He asked for a stock ROM, why suggest that?
You can find KA6 stock here:

Apply using ODIN.

OP, not to sound rude... just look in the dev section for the ODIN and CWR flashable versions.

Just to back the OP a litte...
I'm not even sure what the stock 2.2 is. All this talk of KA6 and KA7 and on top of that all the leaked or not... and people tossing out flash this rom or flash that rom.. it gets confusing when your not used to this. If you go in to the developers section and look, nothing is labeled "stock 2.2 cwm flash able" and when you search for it, you get a bunch of old links to non official 2.2.
I never looked for it till OP asked. I'm happy with the rom im running right now, but I feel your confusion OP.
Edit:
There is also usually at least one clear cut thread on how to get the update and how to root the update. Maybe ill put this together.

yeah some people might need the stock rom to make warranty claims.

I would sure love to know why it is being said that KA7 is "official froyo OTA." I don't believe I have heard Samsung or T-mobile even mention KA7 so how would anyone know?

Again, this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919687
contains the file to ODIN that will get you to exactly where you would get if you upgraded via mini kies.
In other words, ODIN that file and you will be on "current stock version"

So right now there is no flashable version of the official stock 2.2?

going back to 2.1

Hey guys i recently put 2.2 on my phone via kies and realized i cant root my phone with 2.2. So i wanted to go back to 2.1 and root it and flash bionix which to my knowledge is running a more customized stable 2.2. Can someone please tell me how to get back to 2.1 so i can do this over again the RIGHT WAY lol. thanks

You can root with SuperOneClick
Check out the Thread by Nothingness00 or you can flash the KA6 + Voodoo kernel on Supercurios post and have root & CWM in one shot.. Dev section

yes...from what i've read you can root 2.2 from kies via SuperOncClick...
but if you just want to go back to 2.1 just for kicks and giggles then flash Bionix-V...
then use Odin to go back to stock...
root..
flash CWM recovery...
then flash Bionix-V

If he isnt rooted then he can't flash Bionix . His only option would be to use odin to revert back to any 2.1 stock rom, but like you said he should be able to root it just fine with SOC.
To the OP: Search, and answers you will find.

He can ODIN one of Supercurios voodoo kernels.. It will give him root & CWM all in one and then flash bionix

i am new to rooting so this all sounds like chinese to me. what is the difference between bionix and the 2.2 i have now. i am just looking to customize my phone. i have never rooted before, once your phone is rooted what do you do from there?

if you updated to 2.2 via kies then you have stock 2.2 Froyo
Bionix-V is a heavily modified Froyo ROM by Team Whiskey...it has lots of performance tweaks and VooDoo lagfix enabled by default...trust me...TW ROMs are gold.

so can i root my 2.2 with SOC then flash bionix on it or do i have to go back to 2.1 first?

You can root with SOC

SOC is not working for me. it keeps giving me an error message after i click root i have frame work 4.0 installed and the drivers for the phone installed as well

Can't flash Froyo after gingerbread - Amend scripting not supported

After installing one of the Gingerbread roms (Default [ROM] [CM7] [7/14/11] Trigger Redux » Build 13 ) I had to go back to Froyo for Wifi Calling.
But when I flash any Froyo rom using the clockworkmod v4.0.1.0 I get this error:
Amend scripting is no longer supported... Installation aborted.
Do I need a previous version of CWM? Which one? And how to install it?
Any other solution?
Thank you in advance.

You *MUST* Odin back to jfd before flashing *ANYTHING* Samsung based if coming from anything CM7 based.

I just Odin'ed back to JFD. When I flash any kb5 froyo rom do I need to flash new radio? or anything else besides the rom itself?
