Newbie after ROM advise please!! - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi,
Due to my Nexus being sent away for repair a friend has given me an i9000 but with a small problem, it's stuck on the boot screen (he has played with various ROMs). I would like to restore it to working order and have been reading all I can on this excellent forum. I have grasped I need Odin and a complete boot ROM but cannot find anywhere I can download all three files (PDA, PHONE and CSC). I found the samMobile firmware page but they don't contain the files?
Can anyone please tell me where I can get these files, I'm desperate!!

if i were you i would use darky rom, its is the stock rom without all the unused stuff that are slowing down the phone.

Thanks but it won't go into recovery, only download hence why I'm looking for a full boot ROM to flash from Odin.

Try flashing stock firmware from Sammobile.Com (jvu 2.3.6 is good) and then maybe an ics ROM?

[Q] How to get my phone back to stock?

So i want to return my phone to stock so i can try to install The newest ROM from darky,
My problem is that i cant get into recovery mode cause my screen gets all fuzzy with white and colored lines, i believe its because of my bootloader but i cant update cause it gets stuck at SBL.bin so im pretty much stuck in limbo here.
Maybe if i get my phone back to stock i can do everything over again.
what information do i need to know so i can download the proper files?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Can you get the phone into download mode?

Maybe try flashing a stock low level (with bootloaders) rom via odin so that the bootloaders are replaced. And use the latest odin, I think it's 1.82 now, that should reduce your problems flashing.
is all the data lost by returning to stock (is there a way to do it without formatting )

Ok ill do that, but how do i find a stock low lvl Rom? could you point me in the right direction? i dont wanna brick my phone hahaha ive already messed it up with the bootloader stuff...
this is what i know about my phone
PDA. I9000XWJVH
PHONE: I9000XXJVO
CSSC: I9000XXEEJV3
MODEL NUMBER: GT-I9000
FIRMWARE VERSION: 2.3.3.
BASEBAND VERSION: I9000XXJVO
what else do i need to know ?
Your best bet is to do a bit of reading around just so you know what you're trying to do.
[Ramad]'s thread of stock firmwares is probably the most helpful to you. It's got loads of stock firmware and some detailed instructions, as well as downloads for odin and all the necessary files.
If you're going to flash bootloaders you need a file from this thread that has "sbl" in the filename. From the info you've posted you're PDA is XWJVH, your modem (PHONE) is XXJVO and your CSC is XEEJV3. If you want to keep this setup just find the right download with the bootloaders and you should be good to go. Of course you can always flash another ROM if you'd rather. If you're going for a clean flash also flash with a pit file and repartition checked. All the gingerbread so far use 512.pit but you can always check on samfirmware too.
Also below are a couple of links to general guides (which are stickies in the "Galaxy S I9000 General" section. They've just got a load of useful information for all kinds of things:

Soft bricked and clueless please someone!

Hey i've soft bricked my n7000..
basically i just need to know what exactly to do now, kernels etc
ideally id like to be running Midnote 3.3
anyone kind enough to reply with help would be seriously appreciated!
Maybe if you gave some more information on what how when and why ?
Nobody can help you on a 'hey i lost my car can someone tell me where on this planet i parked this morning?'
Agree on above poster. We need to know what rom uou were flashing from, by what method, and the issue now.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Fair enough was thinking there was a straight forward fix, as in just flash this and do this etc..
i was running Midnote 2.1, i was on LP1 and tried to flash Midnote 3.3 using CWM.. it wasn't flashing as i couldn't see the .zip rom at all..
i then done a few factory wipes and basically just wiped the davlik and cache and tried any options in CWM
The issue now is that when i boot im stuck at the samsung splash screen..
I can boot into recovery and into cwm..
And what exactly happends now ?
dead black screen ?
Samsung logo blocked ?
PC odin doesn't connect ?
Can you enter CWM recovery ?
Can you enter boot recovery ?
I think you better try and flash a safe GB kernel and rom first
Then do a full wipe, then flash whatever you like.
You can best flash through PC odin for the stock GB

Stuck at Samsung logo
Can enter CWM and recovery, odin works as far as i can tell
I would suggest trying to flash a stock gb rom via pc odin. If you get stuck at the factory.fs stage you may well be superbricked because of the cwm recoveries and wipes on lpy.
There are a few threads on sorting out a problematic emmc section. But we'll get to that afyer youve tried this.

Thank you, I don't mean to be an effort but you hardly know where I can get a safe GB kernel and rom? i just want to be sure as im getting kind of worried now
Check out dr ketans thread in the stickies of d3velopment section. Theres loaf of info there. Its pretty straight forward if you flash initially to an older rom for your region. Take a look itll make sense promise.

No, you just place the .tar file in Odin in the PDA section.

nope you dont need a kernel when flashing stock GB rom
but 1st keep ur fingers crossed and pray that you get through the ODIN installation method
copy the GB rom file in ODIN folder and open ODIN and click on PDA and select the downloaded GB ROM file and press START
You legends! the stock gb rom worked perfect...
now comes the slightly trickier part.. loading the Midnote 3.3 rom
anyone using this rom? 2.1 was great!
whats the safest way to flash this, kernel wise etc?
thanks again lads
also, now that im back on the stock gb rom.. do i need to root again????
i tried getting into cwm and it brought me into android recovery mode ( still had install zip from sd option)

Yes, you will need to root it if you didn't flash a GB pre-rooted ROM.
And I think the CWM.zip file is on drketan's thread.

No, no need for pit. Pit should only be used as a last resort. A lot can go wrong when flashing a pit file.

Guys I recently updated my SGN to ICS when I saw the update OTA. But ever since then my note is draining the battery like anything. I see a lot of threads and topics everywhere which is very confusing.
Basically I am planning to go back to GB which was stable.
I never rooted my cell simply using it the way it came from Samsung so please let me know how to do it as I have no idea about kernels and everything.
I am attaching the screenshot of my SGN's phone details please check and guide me what do I do.
Hope someone will help me soon.

That's not your csc. Csc is 3 letters such as xeu for uk. You can check your csc by typing the following into the dialpad:
*272*emeicode*# where emei code is obtainable via *#06# in dialer
When you have it go to Dr K's thread and download the latest gb for that csc. If there isn't one available there is an alternative, but try that first.

I don't even have a backup of my GB rom so cannot simply go back on my own so need your help.
Now the thing is as suggested by SpyderTracks I went to Dr. Ketan's thread but there are so many options which is really confusing me.
I searched there for GB rom matching my Phone's PDA and CSC but couldn't find anything except for ICS rom. So now can someone please suggest me what GB rom should I flash? If possible please share the links and steps here only please.:crying:
Also if I can root it later on.
Sorry if its bothering you pals but what to do I am helpless.

The lpy description in your pda relates to kernel version which is ics. If you look through Dr K's thread you'll see the roms are listed by kernel version and csc. The kernel version will obviously be different for gb such as kka (which is directly rootable). Also the gb roms are listed as directly rootable and not directly rootable.
So you can select any gb rom for dbt csc in the directly rootable section, stick it in the pda section of pc odin, and flash. It's easier than it sounds, just take your time with it. When it's flashed its worth rebooting into recovery (vol up, power, home) and do a full wipe.
Alternatively, a very kind soul packaged up some pre- rooted roms link here:
