I am used to custom roms and android on many different devices. Have flashed many on SGS2 successfully, but am now facing issues with i9000!
(bell)
its Froyo
build number- FROYO-UGJL2
firmware version - 2.2
model number- gt-I9000M
I rooted with superoneclick, unlocked with GalaxyS_unlock
My goals: install CWM of course, and flash a custom rom (preferably a GB one)
I have no idea what to touch in this guide because my phone doesnt have any Jxx build numbers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
so then I looked at this guide-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
the "flashing jvp" rom link doesnt work so I cant follow that guide.
There are so many JVP and JVK etc etc I dont want to mess anything up
Since there is no UGL2 in the guides, should I update through samsung kies to their latest version and then re-root? Assuming the latest version through kies gives me a compatible build number
OR am I over thinking this, since I have successfully rooted, should I just download rom manager and install CWM from there?
And then go on to flash kg3 modem and install whichever rom I want?
Do I have to look for i9000m compatible roms?
--I just tried to use rom manager to get cwm, it said it worked fine but my recovery shows as 3e , not cwm
personally i would either upgrade using Kies or firmware from samfirmware to GB then root
Use Odin to flash JVT and take it from there.
After that you can flash the root kernel then flash whichever from you'd like.

The above link will get you odin and all the firmware you need.
Download the most recent JW5 firmware 2.3.6. Download the North American firmware UGKG3 2.3.3. Both these downloads need to be unzipped. Now in odin you will use the PDA file from JW5 and the modem and csc files from UGKG3. There are pit files included with the odin software download. Use the 512 pit file. Put your phone in download mode and flash it. Tell me when you done this and I'll how to root. It's very easy.

From this link. Download semaphore 2.7.4. tar. Place this file in pda and hit start. Takes about ten seconds and you're rooted.
To install a custom rom. Power down phone and use three button combo to access recovery and and install from sd. Choose zip. I recommend Dmore3.3 made for jw5. After you install a rom I recommend re flashing your kg3 modem and csc again in odin. Only those two nothing in pda. Enjoy

The person above you told me to flash JVT
Also it doesnt matter if I flash things that are not for i9000M? JW5 doesnt look like its for i9000m.
I should not use all the files from KG3? Whats the benefit from using the modem files from jw5 as opposed to kg3?
Thanks!
Bud your phone is essentially a I9000, I live in Canada, Victoria to be exact and my phone used to say I9000m on it, now it doesn't because I run jw5 as my pda. Anything made for I9000 will run on your phone. Just run kg3 as your modem and csc. The guy telling you to run jvt... I don't know why, it's an old, buggy rom. JW5 is the most recent and most likely the last update for the I9000. PDA is just the part of your phone that basically makes the phone do the cool stuff it does. Modem is the part that decides whether or not you will have good coverage. That's why you use kg3, because that is the bell Canada modem. It will be fine. Note the first link I gave you, notice how the title says both I9000 and I9000m that's because they are the same phone. Your phone is only an m because you are running the stock bell firmware. You can flash kg3 for the whole thing if you want pda included... But they are no good root kernels for it and I don't believe there are any custom roms for it. But it's better than what you have now.

Did all of that, but no matter what I flash as the pda, the phone will not boot.
If I flash the kg3 as pda, the phone will boot.
I found a pre-rooted kd3 on xda and flashed that as modem and even that will not boot.
after flashing kg3 to get it to boot, i tried flashing semaphore and I get stuck in a bootloop so I had to flash kg3 again

When reading about roms I always see them saying to make sure I have some specific version of the modem, which needs to be flashes separately, etc
What is the modem? Is it just the baseboard version on the system info page?
Yes.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab, that makes phone calls
So if that says (something something).DK28, I have the DK28 modem?
When I update to a different Rom (planning to pick up one of the ones based on official 2.2 when they come out) do I need to do something else to get a newer version of the modem too?
Yes if it says ....dk28 under baseband you have 2.2 modem. If you want to flash a custom rom you are fine. Your baseband is already updated. The reason why roms say that is some people used the update.zip method to go to froyo but you still had to Odin your modem so people were on froyo but modem was on eclair. If you use Odin with the tar files you always get the modem with it. Good luck
I used update.zip to get to DK28 and it says I have the DK28 modem.
Baseband version: S: D700:0:55: DK28

Yes, there is one update.zip that will flash the modem, but it requires you to be on DI18.
Odin is the fool-proof method
yes odin is the best way. it starts you out with a clean start.

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

Hey
I am curious to know which rom you guys flash when things arent going your way?
I know that jm8/9 is a popular rom.
My rom is jpk, reason being I've never had a failed flash with it, since its froyo I can use speedmod with it to flash a doc rom and its the only Odin rom on my computer.
Please share your favourite rom and why.
Cheers

I like to have a folder with the latest PDA (was just xwjs5, will now use zsjpg), speedmod kernel, aussie unbranded csc and i used to have the zsjpe modem (will now use zsjpg) all ready to flash with heimdall.
I used to use JM8 until i realised repartitioning to 512.pit all the time was unnecessary.
I also have the very first aussie optus/virgin stock rom and latest froyo aussie unbranded stock rom.

flash a gb kernel such as abyss 4.2 and you can then flash a gb rom fgrom cwm or you can use odin to flash stock

Because there aren't any clear instruction of how to flash and what settings to use to flash a kernel and the little details.
Entropy512 said:
The safest way to get away from ICS is:
Use PC Odin or Heimdall to flash a safe Gingerbread kernel with working CWM (NOT a full firmware package, and DO NOT mess with repartitioning), such as a Gingerbread CF-Root release. From there you can wipe and then flash whatever you want.
To be clear - JUST flash a safe kernel and then wipe/flash using that - don't flash anything else in PC Odin. If the full firmware package you flash has bootloaders it could hose you.

entropys instructions
I've flashed the Abyss kernel as stated and now I have a problem, it stays at the loading screen, excellent instructions guys!
Flash any stock GB ROM via PC ODIN. Do not tick repartition.
Try flashing a single file ROM, not 3 files ROM.
In case if fails, then try flashing a stock 3 files ROM (PDA, MODEM & CSC) alongwith .PIT file and re-partition checked.
Hello Folks, I have a problem that has occurred to my SGH-I337M. I was on a custom ROM and decided to go back to stock. I downloaded the proper .zip file from samfirmware and ODIN flashed it. Low and behold I have flashed the Bell firmware and with no luck with multiple attempts cannot get to the rogers RWC firmware to upload. I have retried ODIN twice with multiple redownloads, even used KIES with a Emergency recovery. Any advise??
All fixed up. Had the chance to do some reading. Change the csc code and away we go. Thanks.
