Flashing tutorial for dummies [ICS SGS TEAM ROM]

FLASHING TUTORIAL FOR DUMMIES​<ICS SGS TEAM ROM>​NOTE : NOT ALL THESE STEPS ARE A MUST OR NEEDED TO BE DONE IN THIS PARTICULAR WAY, BUT IT IS BEST TO DO SO IN ORDER TO AVOID FURTHER PROBLEMS AND MAKE SURE THE FLASHING PROCESS IS AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE.​
>EVERYTHING WILL BE WIPED<​
PAY ATTENTION AND TAKE YOUR TIME !
I DO NOT ANSWER TO QUESTIONS WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED IN THIS TUTORIAL OR IN THE LINKS THIS TUTORIAL PROVIDES !​
THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO STEP BY STEP :​
It doesn`t matter on what rom you are, first you need to download a stock gingerbread rom, a kernel which has root and clockworkmod recovery and of course a flashing program (in this case Odin, simply because it does the job), also Samsung USB Drivers :
NOTE : It would be best to have your phone fully charged before flashing
1. First install the drivers ONLY if you haven`t already installed them, also if you have Kies installed there is no need to install these drivers, but you are better off installing these anyway : http://dev-host.org/ZRA
2. Download this package (it includes i9000 stock rom+kernel+odin) : http://dev-host.org/RAE, if you have a Captivate or a Vibrant just download a stock rom for your phone model and find a kernel which has root and cwm in it.
NOTE : The next step will require using the 3 key combo for accessing the clockworkmod recovery and also the download mode.The 3 key combo used below is for the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000. If you own a Captivate or a Vibrant please click this link and choose your phone model to see what 3 key combo must be used, as it differs from one phone model to another : http://tinyurl.com/6q6ajpx
3. After you have extracted all the contents you downloaded and installed drivers, put your phone into download mode using the 3 key combo : volume DOWN + home button+power button, keep those pressed until it goes into download mode.
4. Connect phone to PC via USB Cable and open Odin (windows should detect the phone and install some drivers, after it`s finished you should see the message "Added!" in Odin which means Odin succesfully detected your phone so now you are ready to flash)>check Re-Partition Option>press PIT button and browse for the s1_odin_20100512.pit file, press BOOTLOADER button and browse for the APBOOT… file, press PDA button and browse for the CODE….file, press PHONE button and browse for the MODEM….file, press CSC button and browse for the GT-I9000-CSC….file. PRESS START button and wait for the green pass notification in Odin.
• When the phone reboots into the rom, wait for the setup wizard to appear and then just use the 3 key combo into the download mode again.
Close Odin and open it again> press PDA button and browse for CF-Root…file> Press START button and wait for the green pass notification in Odin.
• When the phone reboots into the rom set your phone to mass storage mode from settings>wireless & network>usb settings, copy the ICS SGS rom needed for your phone model, to your INTERNAL SD root location (G: for example, copy the rom here) via USB Cable from here : http://tinyurl.com/7f4m8bp.
• Now we have to go to clockworkmod recovery using the 3 key combo : volume UP + home button + power button, keep those pressed until it goes into the clockworkmod recovery.
• Using the volume buttons to navigate up and down select Wipe Data/Factory Reset by pressing the home button, a submenu will appear, hit YES. Wait for it to finish and then Wipe Cache the same way you did with Wipe Data/Factory Reset> Go to advanced menu>a submenu will appear and Wipe Dalvik Cache.Go back to main menu.
Now it`s time to flash the ICS SGS ROM :
Select install zip from sd card > choose zip from sd card> browse for the rom zip>choose YES and let it do the magic. If it happens to reboot immediately into clockworkmod recovery with a different look (blue writing), it means it actually flashed just the ICS Kernel first therefore you have to flash again so the ICS ROM gets installed too, just follow the steps above.
NOTE : Sometimes it works from the first try and sometimes it reboots into clockworkmod recovery instead of flashing the rom because it changes KERNEL first, prior to flashing the rom.
If it boot loops or you are experiencing other issues read here : http://tinyurl.com/78ajjhc
Now all you need to do is wait for it to finish.After the flashing is done> Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache as you already know how to do it and choose Reboot System Now. Give it some time to boot, it usually takes at most 5 minutes to boot. If it doesn`t boot, just reflash the rom as described in the steps above.
NOTE (i9000 users) : At this point if it still doesn`t boot past the Galaxy S Logo after you`ve reflashed the rom, flash Semaphore ICS Kernel via CWM and then just Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache and Reboot to System.Can`t acces CWM anymore? You have to start all over again from step 4.Only this time flash Semaphore ICS Kernel right after the ICS Rom finishes flashing, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache and Reboot to System.
NOTE (Captivate/Vibrant users) : The same applies to you if you encounter the upper issues, only instead of Semaphore Kernel, use Nushor`s kernel.
Semaphore ICS Kernel : http://goo.gl/qWlOJ
Nushor`s Kernel : http://db.tt/CMC5BJ0f
If you don`t have network signal it usually means it`s a modem related problem so just copy to your internal sd card one of these modem zips : http://dev-host.org/SSR and flash it the same way you flashed the ICS SGS rom via clockworkmod recovery (without the Wipe Data/Factory Reset which is needed only when flashing ROMs). It should solve the problem.
NOTE : Also if you are experiencing heavy battery drain with or without 3G ON (internet included),
you should try a different modem from here : http://tinyurl.com/68reom6.
Just flash one using the clockworkmod recovery.
Also you can find some modems here : http://goo.gl/R9q5l
Depending on the region you are in, modems can make a huge difference!
But usually 3G/Internet usage will discharge battery faster then Wi-Fi usage.
THERE IS NO "BEST MODEM" > you have to experiment yourself with these modems!
If it still doesn`t solve the problem search for possible fixes in the ICS SGS Thread : http://tinyurl.com/7kb46ox.
If you haven`t found any fix after you have SEARCHED THOROUGHLY or if you have any other issues come here : http://webchat.freenode.net/ ,
Channel : ##icssgs.
People there will help you figure it out.
IMPORTANT : Yes, 4.2 ROM is a bit laggy because of the kernel and the launcher, so all you need to do is to flash Semaphore ICS Kernel (the i9000 users), flash Nushor`s Kernel (the Captivate and Vibrant users) and install Nova Launcher from Market and it`s all good in the hood
Semaphore ICS Kernel : http://goo.gl/qWlOJ
Nushor`s Kernel : http://db.tt/CMC5BJ0f
NOTE (i9000 users) : After you`ve flashed the kernel, you will notice the Semaphore App in the App Drawer, open it and set it like this : Governor > smartassv2 | Scheduler : noop. Reboot and you`re done!
NOTE (Captivate/Vibrant users) : After you`ve flashed Nushor`s Kernel, install NSTools from Market, open it and set it like this : Governor > smartassv2 | Scheduler : fiops.Reboot and you`re done!
IMPORTANT : You may experience severe battery drain every time you will reboot your phone. 100% of the CPU will be used constantly even if you hardly use the phone and thus the battery will be quickly discharged.To solve this, just open NSTools and change the governor to something else and then change it back.The CPU will come back to its normal state. It seems it is a NSTools issue, though i`m not sure this is a general problem.
IMPORTANT (Semaphore Kernel users) : If you want to use tethering, make sure you enable "netfilter" in the Semaphore App!
NOTE : If you find something doesn`t work for you after you`ve flashed the rom, basic things such as camera for example, it means you have to flash the rom again!
Auto Brightness doesn`t work yet, in the meanwhile use the app Custom Auto Brightness from here : http://tinyurl.com/7fsreu3.
Or you can buy this brilliant app : http://goo.gl/g0y9i
If you find your screen has a blue, red or yellow tint over it, install Voodoo Sound : http://goo.gl/DXzw8 and tap the button "reset to 2.3.3 defaults".It should fix the issue.
NOTE (Semaphore Kernel users) : Fortunately auto brightness works well with this kernel, thank stratosk for the auto brightness driver!

I took the time to write this tutorial because it`s the least I can do to give something back to the community.
If you followed every step in this tutorial it is highly unlikely to fail this, only if you can`t read English properly.
If you found this tutorial helpful just press “Thanks” .
Good Luck !

Thanks mate, very helpful. Helped when SuperOneClick didn't work!

Nice tut, should be stickied.

many thanks, very clear

when i was a noob to all this, i found that too many guides assumed you had already been used to flashing, so its a little late in the game for me, but this is a fine guide, wonderful work!!

Awesome tutorial...Thanks

I've just armed my SGS from Gingerbread 2.3.5 to ICS using this thread. Clear step-by-step guidance.
My phone now is ready for second live
Thank you @psyqiq

Great write up. It will help me out a lot. Only thing I can think of that might also help us noobs out is an explanation of how and what we might want to backup before doing the flash. This would make this thread the ultimate flashing guide for dummies.
I've flashed another rom previously but lost a lot of stuff I would like to have kept like sms's, photos, emails and settings (wifi passwords & settings, ect). I still don't no how to keep my emails and settings but XDA has helped figure out the other stuff.
A couple of questions also, does the sim card and/or sd card need to be removed to do this flash? This is something I've read in other guides.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

SuperRoo it is not needed to remove the sim card and neither the external_sd, it would have been mentioned in the tut. As for the backups it`s impossible to backup everything from settings to apps etc...and restore them into ICS in such a way that everything would work. Restoring stuff from GB to ICS brings incompatibilities unfortunately so it is best to redo all those settings you had on the GB Rom rather than restoring them from a backup.

verry good tutorial. tnx

We recently had a guy report in the mintberry thread that flashing miui fried his sd - not sure if he odined stock before cwm flash.
It's not a precaution that I have ever taken, though it is considered safe flashing procedure to remove sd and sim (I have never heard of any adverse effects to a sim card).

Great tutorial thanks.
One question before i install this, how do i know/find which modem is best suited or specific to our region and service provider (NSW - OPTUS). (I post the same question over here but i think this thread is more appropriate)
My wife had issues on a previous flash i did 2.3.4 whereby she had no internet and could not sent SMS/MMS until a friend provided me with a different modem (i think it was the modem) and it fixed the problem.
Obviously not an expert in this area but i can follow a decent tutorial
Cheers.

woolf clubs it is almost impossible to fry the sd card just by flashing something.This is ackward.Only an overload of electricity through the USB ports would cause that, if it`s possible.I don`t see any other logical way for such a thing to happen when it comes to frying hardware, in which case it is very unfortunate.
BenzOzzy here is some info about some modems and regions : http://tinyurl.com/3yh3e3m, although even if you flash a modem that is not ment for your region, it does not necessarily mean it will perform worse. Nobody can tell you what modem is best for a specific region, only if someone had some good feedback with it, therefore you have to search the xda (in your case) for users that had a good feedback with a specific modem in australia. Though the JVT modem should do just fine.

Ok, thanks psyqiq.
---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------
Actually i apologize, i believe i should have been asking you about which is the best CSC file not the modem.
Wouldn't the CSC be specific to my provider, with apk and their apps? (all the bloatware my wife seems to like)
I seem to recall with OPTUS its 'OPS' something or other... (GT-I9000-CSC-XXX OPS) or (CSC_I9000------.tar.md5) or something like.
Sorry if i've hijacked your thread here, i am gonna update her phone tonight if all goes well and want it to go well
Thanks.

BenzOzzy forget about CSC in ICS.There is no ICS firmware for i9000 and therefore no CSC either.We can only flash cm modems and some kernels like glitch, devil or semaphore.That's it.After all, this is just a port rom.Happy flashing!

Actually Ics roms are MULTI-CSC and doestnt need additional CSC files ..just flash ...nd enjoy!

try JVU

Hey BenzOzzy,
ICSSGS uses the JVU Modem which seems to work for most of the people, i changed modems in the past release reading that it would also affect battery life.
in ICSSGS RC4.2 i kept the JVU modem, gives me performance as usual and battery life is good as well (btw. using semaphore 0.8.1 kernel )

Ahh, i've run into a problem at this point, when it all was going accordingly
Select install zip from sd card > choose zip from sd card> browse for the rom zip>choose YES and let it do the magic. If it happens to reboot immediately into clockworkmod recovery with a different look (blue writing), it means it actually flashed just the ICS Kernel first therefore you have to flash again so the ICS ROM gets installed too, just follow the steps above.

Actually i noticed a problem when i tried to add ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 to my sd card. I could not see the sd card on the list so i dumped it into the root directory, disconnected the usb cable then browsed the phone where i can see the sd card directory and manually moved ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 into it that way.
Problem is, when i go to install zip from sd card > choose zip from sd card > i cant find the rom zip...but i can see that ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 is in the sd card.....wtf?
I hope that my stupidity makes sense.
Any ideas that can help. ?

BenzOzzy actually you do not have to see a folder named "sd card" while in clockworkmod recovery, therefore when you copy the rom prior to flashing you copy it on the internal sd root. Just set your phone to mass storage, connect the phone to PC and it will detect 2 sd cards, one internal and one external (if you have one).Just double-click the internal one from my computer and you`re there on the root location (G: for example, copy the rom here).That`s it.Now just go to cwm and flash it.

[Ultimate Guide] Installing / Rooting / Self-Customizing Stock Rom 4.2.2 / 1 [13/08]

To Being with Lets make this guide in three sections
[Post 1] General Instructions
[Post 2] Installing Stock Rom 4.2.2
[Post 3] Rooting Your Device
[Post 4] Customize your ROM as per your wish
General Instructions
Introduction
Rooting your new purchased android device is leg shaking... Main reasons of rooting is to remove bloatwares, gain power of your own device with full potential, install root application and of course Custom Roms. Flashing with custom images will increase your flash bin counter and this breaks your warranty. So people avoid rooting but thanks to chainfire, reset of this counter is made easy as having nuts...
Before moving ahead let me explain what’s rooting...
Rooting your android device simply means you are enabling administrator rights for yourself!! To be more precise unrooted device restrict user and we use our phone as a guest account like in windows OS.
Warnings:
This ROOTING Steps are foolproof but Rooting means you are playing with systems, so please don't try if you don't know what you are doing...Hence it can brick your device (DEAD) and make it useless... So read the steps completely before proceeding..
Rooting is for your fun not for any legal issues viz, piracy.
Charge your phone well before proceeding.

May I add.....
Instead of installing super su, one can proceed and flash Balliboxer 4.2.2 rom thru cwm. That way you get root plus zipaligned, deodex or odex.

Yes that's good option, but is for self-customized ROM. Few of my friends Questioned me that they dont trust Customized ROMs. People who dont trust custom ROM can finally customize as per their need.

Nice thread, it will help beginners a lot.
But the link you gave that tells which apps can be removed is not very accurate, there are actually many other apps that can be removed safely.
I had made a post about it, but it was for 4.1.2.
Check it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39395506
It should be more or less the same for 4.2.2 but anyway, as soon as I get 4.2.2 I'll make a new post about safe to remove apps. For now I wait for a better version, cuz the current one seems to be full of bugs and many people are disappointed with it to the extent that they downgrade back to 4.1.2...
With all those apps removed when I start my phone I have like 160 mb RAM consumption, and now that I'm using it I just checked, I have 213 mb only...

[Q] Question about root and install custom rom over stock 5.0.1

Hello,
I want to replace the stock rom (5.0.1) on my S4-LTE because I want to get rid of the many unwanted/unuseful applications installed by Samsung or by my provider (Orange in France).
I have already done that kind of action on my tablet but it's the first time I do it on my phone. I'm looking at threads here in xda and I see that there are several roms. But i have difficulty to choose which one would be the best for me.
My need is to have a ROM that is optimized for performance and storage but still quite stable as this is for my daily use, i'm not doing this for fun. Also, i want that all standard functionnalities of the phone are working fine (phone, camera ...) but i do not mind about all the samsung-specific features that i never use (screen merroring, multi-windows, s-beam, nfc, air view, air gesture, smart stay, smart pause).
In your opinion, what would be the custom ROM that would better meet my needs ?
ps : right now, my phone is not rooted and still has knox 0x0. But i don't mind about knox going 0x1 as i have no more warranty on the phone
[edit] ps : i want a lollipop ROM
Thanks in advance
Eric

Try the temasek's one
Sent from my GT-I9506 using XDA Free mobile app

Download samsung drivers from HERE and install to your PC. Now you need Odin, and the last firmware for i9506. Download XXUDOD3 from HERE. Now download Odin from HERE. Open odin and put your phone in download mode(volume down+home button+power and when you see the warning screen press volume up button) now conect your phone to pc, and select from odin AP and browse XXUDOD3 firmware and press start. Then, download CF auto root from HERE, open Odin and in AP browse for "CF-Auto-Root-ks01lte-ks01ltexx-gti9506.tar.md5" then press start and wait to your phone to boot. Now download twrp recovery from here and folow the same procedure, like cf auto root, now in odin select AP and browse for "TWRP_2.8.5.0_ks01lte_20150215.tar.md5" and hit start button. Now you have root and custom recovery. If you want a debloated and deodexed system download from HERE the zip file and install from recovery, first do a backup.
You have to read this POST, its very useful.

You should try Dehawk-s slim deodexed rom with insecure kernel.
Try and you won`t regret.

Thank you all 3 of you, i'm reading the corresponding posts to get knowledge about the ROMs and how to load them into my phone. Then when i have found the ROM that most suits me, I will try to load it. Of course i will have a few questions here

I'm looking for same. Want to get rid of Samsung crap.

[Guide] Multi Boot Note 5

[Guide] Multi Boot Note 5​
I am using this on SM-N920C of the Note 5; I believe this will work with other Note 5 Variants as well. Sprint variant already confirmed. Others who have different variants which are not tested can try this and update us, and we will be here to help you out if you are ready to try this out.
@chenxiaolong is the one who made this happen to our beloved Note 5
Main advantage of this is you can try any new rom with out loosing or having any kind of trouble with your existing rom. This mod will not change anything in your primary rom, so any time you can go back to your normal state.
Disclaimer
1.I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,etc.
2.Before going further! YOU are choosing to make these modifications.
supported Devices: ( Tested and confirmed working)
SM-N920C : noblelte (Tested by me )
SM-N900P (Sprint): nobleltespr (Tested )
Requirements
* Read the full guide before Starting.
* Backup your phone if you are doing this first time. (Full Nandroid backup recommended for the new comers and it’s also recommended to others who don’t know what they are doing exactly even if they have multi booted several times)
* Rooted Note 5 with custom recovery (preferred TWRP or philz).
* free space in your internal SD (for example a TW rom could take up to 6.5GB )
* If you face any trouble please read the FAQ before doing something or asking for help. And if you want help please provide as much as details(device, roms, etc.) you can.
*
Instruction:
1.Download your desired Rom which you want to use for multi booting and the mods, addons, Kernel etc for the same. Keep the files in your internal memory.
2. Download the most recent snapshot release of Dual Boot Patcher and install it on your Note 5.
3. Open Dual Boot Patcher and grant SU permission. Then go to ROMS and you will see your Primary rom, press the 3dotmenu key and click "set kernel".
4. Then In Dual Boot Patcher go to Patch Zip File and Choose nobleltespr - samsung galaxy note 5 from the device drop down menu.
5. In the Partition configuration drop down menu select "Data Slot".
6. Below that you have to enter the ID of the secondary rom.(Example 1, 2, 3, etc. - it will take it as /data/multiboot/data-slot-1)
7.Now tap on the below button to choose the ROM's, Kernel and mods to patch them and make them perfect for Multi booting.
8. Always remember to keep same slot ID for the kernels and mods same as the rom. (Example: if you want to flash the kernel to the data-slot-1 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 1 or if you want to flash the kernel to the data-slot-2 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 2.)
9. Now press the tap to begin patching button to patch the file. And you will get a new patched zip file in the same location.
10. patch the kernel also for your rom with same id because most if the roms comes with out kernel so we have to patch the kernel and flash it along with the rom.
11. Now Boot into custom recovery and flash the new patched rom followed by the patched kernel without wiping anything and reboot.
12. And your device will boot into New Rom.
13.Install the Dual Boot Patcher app and set the kernel for your second ROM as well.
14. To switch between roms
•Open Dual Boot Patcher app/roms and click on primary or secondary rom as you like and reboot.
* Important things to keep in mind: while installing a rom or mod with Aroma installer don't reboot directly from the aroma.
You have to always uncheck the last option to reboot in aroma and click finish. So it can finish the final steps for multi booting.
And if you miss that it will only reboot to recovery. To boot back you have to flash your primary rom kernel or re-flash the patched rom.
Never update a secondary rom through OTA Update.
Revert
To revert back or if you face any problem just flash my Multi Boot cleaner.zip which will wipe all the installation files from \system and restore the primary rom kernel.
As a backup keep a copy of your kernel flashable zip file.
FAQ
1. App sharing?
Ans. Will be added shortly.
3. This rom can’t be patched.
Ans. some roms are not supported its known, if the Dev have time may be he will consider including them.
4. I am getting error while using the dual boot app.
Ans. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67198156&postcount=120
Add ro.patcher.device=noblelte to the bottom of your built.prop and your problem will be solved.
if your device is different from the above mentioned then add your product name instead of "noblelte"
if you don't know how to add this make a request with your product name, so i will make a flashable zip for that.

Could it work on my s6 edge 925F with a note5 rom? I'd really like to dual boot my phone!
Thanks for your work and sorry for the noob question!

Woeking on a Version for Samsung Galaxy S6 (G920F)?
Great work btw!

So adding that line to my build.prop allows me to multiboot two COJ5 ROMs just fine.
For fun i tried running the MM ROM as a primary and booting a COJ5 as a secondary, it doesn't work. The COJ5 ROM sits in a semi-bootloop it either sits at the Samsung boot animation or the "Starting Apps" . Now i stopped it after ~20 minutes, i figured it was dead at that point.
Either way Multiboot def works nicely on the SM-N920T

Check the screen shot for supported device's. With a note 5 rom I'm not sure. But with a note 5 port sure you can and the procedure will be almost same.

can you port it to s6?

It will work with s6 also. You can follow the same instructions.
In the device drop down you have to select s6 flat/edge.
And the rest is same as note 5 guide.
if there is more requests, i can make a guide for s6 as well. for that i need a tester to confirm its working. i know its already working. but just in case. also as long as the moderators allows i will give support for that thread.

You need a root file Explorer app. I like ES File Explorer.
Then go to /system/build.prop and add that line to the bottom of the file.
