Hello, I looked around a bit and couldn't find an answer, so I figured i would just post this and ask.
I have two (probably) easy questions.
1. I'm on DI01 right now (superfast and superclean), can i go straight to DL09 or do i have to go DJ05 then DL09?
2. Can anyone give me a link to download odin? The link in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
happens to be broken for me.
anyone?

You can go straight to DL09. I have Odin shared on my Google Site page with instructions for upgrading as well, see here.
Thanks.
You think Voodoo is worth it or not?

I use voodoo as it makes installing apps a lot faster and lags the phone less. Since voodoo5 and red clockwork, it's been much more reliable and easier to use.
Dl09 was a success.. I'm on the non-voodoo kernel and I'll probally flash voodoo tommarow.

That's good to hear. The only thing you need to remember after moving to voodoo is to be aware that you're using it when switching kernels. If you flash a non-voodoo kernel without first disabling voodoo, it can be a big headache. However, with the current state of development, most things are moving toward voodoo since it has become more stable and reliable.
Yep yep. Thanks for the quick replies and all the help you have been. I have the voodoo zip file on my sd card (the one from the DL09 thread). All I need to do is flash that one right?

Yeah, flash it the same way you did the other kernel and rom. When you restart, there will be a voice giving an approx. time to convert the partitions to the new file system. It will hold on the Samsung logo while doing the conversion and then go to the boot animation when done. I think the time to convert is anywhere from 5-10 minutes, depending on how much data you have. Disabling voodoo will take a few minutes longer and has the same voice time estimates.
Alright. I might just do this right now then.

i just installed dl09, and flashed the right rom. I restarted and am wondering how long it takes to load the rom. I did not flash the kernel right away. I was going to do that after the rom. So far I only have a black screen about 3 minutes in. Whats the deal?
You need to flash the kernel too
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.
just restarted flashed rom and then kernel both. black screen with bottom buttons all lit up for about 20 minutes now. help.
What rom and kernel did you flash? And you flashed the modem in the pda section of odin?
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.
yes i used the pda section and it passed just fine. i then unplugged phone, put batt back in. started phone back up and used rom manager to get to recovery. at first i just flashed blackhole 3.0 rom but i had his kernel and several components downloaded. i was paranoid so i flashed rom then reboot. black screen after samsung for a long time. i then reflashed rom w/ kernel. still got hung. then i went back and flashed everything i had dl including boot animation, digital clock, everything along with rom and kernel again. this time got to blackhole boot animation then has been stuck on that screen for about 40 min. it is the boot with the galaxy and stars with a small android robot in the lower right corner. thinking of doing the odin d101 package. wont that return me to stock. i don't want to but any suggestions.
If this has already been answered I apologize. I am looking for the stock files to flash in Odin for the Continuum in case of disaster. I am going to root my wifes phone to remove the bloatware and if there is one thing I learned with my fascinate is those files are priceless. Anyone know where I can get the stock files to start over is I need to?

We have some odin files, but they're untested. They are also rooted :-/
If we can get someone to test our DJ20 odin files, then I'm sure someone can figure out how to remove root from them.

I got a stock ROM and kernel from imnuts; would that be the same ones you have?
I flashed that stock ROM and kernel using ODIN on my continuum (which was previously bricked by too much tinkering), and everything works on the phone except for cell data (well, I haven't tested bluetooth on it). If you have different images, I'd be happy to try them out and let you know how it goes.
I also will probably try re-flashing them again just to see if it comes out differently.

Your best bet would be FREEZING your bloatware with Titanium backup PRO to see if you encounter any negative side-effects. If so all you have to do is unfreeze. I freeze apps I don't want and after a week (after backing up) I'll go ahead and fully uninstall them. One at a time, so if **** hits the fan, you know what to restore...

So this thoughts arises with the fact I am having trouble with my sfc2.6 ebo1. FCs etc. I have wiped and I want to totally want to start fresh so I am thinking about doing an Odin and start over.
So first...is an Odin flash the "ultimate wipe"
If so why don't developers package .tar files of their roms for those of us that want to, say flash kaos' cm7 v6 when it drops, we could just Odin everything needed to start fresh (kernel etc) and wouldn't have to worry about wiping.
Is this a good idea?
Is it harder to supply .tar files for odin than zips for cwm?
Love to hear some feedback.

I thought the same thing, i had a bad experience with cw, but i love odin... like the all in one eb01, that worked sweet, i wish all roms could be setup like that. I would definitely be trying more things if i could always use odin.
Sent from my rooted froyo Fascinate
From what I can see, the all in one .tar method is somewhat new. It's being incorporated more and more with each ROM release. I don't think an all in one Odin package existed prior to the DL30 leak, so I'd bet that this will eventually be the case.
Actually they're nothing new. There's an all in one DI01 package that's been around for quite a while now, among others I'm sure.

I can't speak for everyone but I personally wouldn't want an Odin flashable file becauase I don't want to have to be tied to my computer all the time in order to flash roms. I like to download/flash on the go, and CWR allows me to do this.

I agree with you, but I can see how some people would like the use of an all in one odin. Especially if they're uncomfortable using CWM and worrying about disabling voodoo, having the correct kernel/radio, etc. I don't see a need for me personally but I can see it being useful for inexperienced users especially

I, for one, would use both. Sometimes I settle on a rom for a while and feel like starting totally fresh.
Choice is a good thing.

Odin is a low level tool for samsung. It's not typically what the android users use to flash roms.
The problem with odin is that it can destroy a phone much more effectively than cwm/recovery. It's dangerous. Just one wrong setting can make your phone boot up with an att logo with you calling verizon for a new phone. Just safer to use cwm.
I dont like the idea of using Odin more than needed. It just cries break me!
That and flashing system in Odin seems to trigger a data reset.

droidxcon on android central puts together odin packages of all adrynalynes roms.
One thing I am still wondering.
Would using Odin to flash a rom package pose a benefit of starting from scratch with no residual data/info left from previous setup?
Sent through mental telepathy.
I may be way off in left field, but Odin seems to be akin to using Ghost imaging softwares. The 2 major downsides to Odin have already been mentioned: requirement of a computer/cable/usb drivers, and the potential to break if you hit the wrong option. Otherwise, good brick recovery.
Creating odin packages is kinda time consuming. since you have to go complete stock. and I mean COMPLETE stock. Flash the custom rom and kernel, dump the system partition, which usually ends up being around 300MB. and then you have to package everything into a .tar file and embed the MD5 sum. and uploading a 300+ MB tar takes a whiles longer than a ~130+ MB zip. flashable zips and the Odin tars each have their benefits. But packaging an AIO for EVERY rom release seems a little too much to me.

I've asked on a couple boards and can't find an answer/solution.
Ever since I went to EB01 I've had one problem only...that is when I reboot ,for any reason, all my apps start force closing when it starts back up...i then have to re-flash the rom to fix it and re-install sgml the apps again.
Am I the only person that had this problem? Is there a fix for it? I'm currently on SC2.6, but have been on 2.4 & 2.5 with the same problem...i even went back to stock eclair and re-rooted and went thru the process again with no luck.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Try the odin eb01 tar. After you flash the all in one odin file, you should be fine. It has to do with a corrupted dbdata partition.
Make sure you use pda when flaking. After you can flash whatever rom you like.
Ah...i didn't do the all in one package...i just pushed the eb01 modem via odin and flagged the rom separately...could that be the culpret?

Yes, this is always smart to do.
Especially because the eb01 tars are not true all in one tars.
I've had the same issue, and I have tried reflashing the ROM and the EB01 modem. I also pushed the new red CMW, and still.. no luck. I will post back if going to DI01 and then to EB01 works. Right now, I am running FrankenClean 2.5, red CMW for Froyo, and EB01 modem.
When you reboot, all third party apps fc, and on boot, several apps fc before I personally open them. Also, many of the settings are wiped (brightness, volume, etc). BUT.. the home screens are the same, and all the apps still appear (but don't run). It seems as if something is corrupted or something, but I still need to dig further.
Does this information help? I hope I can find a solution becuase I much prefer Froyo superclean to stock DL09.
yep...thats the same thing that was going on with me...how did you go to eb01? seperate modem, rom, or the all in one package?
Thanks to RacerFXD, the problem is fixed! All you have to do is push the all in one odin package found here:
http://redirectingat.com/?id=1629X5...roms-w-root-new-clockwork-updated-2-11-a.html
then reboot into CWR and reflash whatever ROM you were running and all is well.
This is the Debloated/Deodexed version BTW. It's the one i pushed. I guess it really doesn't matter which one you do, seeing as how you'll probably flash a different ROM anyways...
Fixed
My issue is fixed (for now). Apparently all I needed to do was to go back to stock, and then I needed to reapply the changes. Something last time must have gotten messed up, but all is good now. If it comes back, I will use the EB01 all-in-one which should be quicker.
Here is my process:
Flash DI01 All-in-one package via Odin (adryn's Odin package)
Flash EB01 Modem via Odin (separate "just" modem)
Flash CMW red via Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021)
Factory Reset/Clear Cache/Clear Dalvik Cache
Flash Superclean 2.5 (aka FrankenClean 2.5)

Wow, that was an experience. Literally weeks of perusing the forums until I had a grasp of the concepts, then dove in. Rooted my stock phone and flashed to sc 2.6 non voodoo. Total noob at Android and it all works so far. Thanks to all involved with this site, it required dozens of threads to figure it all out. The most confusion came out of the fact that CWM gets removed when rebooting from stock. Another week of research and the themes will start. Thanks again.

Welcome to the party! Now if only all newcomers to XDA would do what you did...
Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
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.

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.

It may not have dbdata.rfs in it which you need if you repartition. I think they leave it out so regular users do not have to reinstall all their Apps.... Just look at what's in the file...

there is a I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar
and a SS_DL.dll
so All i would have to do is just put that .tar file in PDA field and get a regular .pit file and check off the re-partitions

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.
