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.

mmm... it should be open Odin THEN connect phone to PC to have Odin work properly, isn't it?
Hi Guys
I have a Samsung Galaxy s i9000 slim bean Rom the base band & IMEI unknown I can't seem to use it to sms or call a guy from the Slimrom site told the Rom has no modem, so how do i add one ? I realy like the Rom its much faster than the one I had before I had Cyanogen mod Helly bean before and about 2 weeks ago it got into a boot loop so I got a friend of a friend to root it for me twice and still have this no network issue! I can't ask him to do it again. So I am trying to find a solution here. How do I add a modem ? The wifi works fine but Whats app tells me that tablets are not supported... but this is not a tablet its a Samsung Galaxy s i9000 , will adding a modem fix the network issue and make Whats app work? Or do I need a new Rom? Please keep in mind that I'm not a Android Developer in any sense of the word!!
Thanks Reigncpt!!

I followed the instructions on the slim bean site cleared cache partition and wiped dalvik cache and installed the latest version : Slim-I9000-4.2.1.stable.1.0-OFFICIAL .... but still the same issue IMEI and Baseband are unknown and I get no network. Did I do it wrong?
How do I do clean install? Do I need special software to do a clean install? If so where do I get it ?
I read somewhere on this forum that I need to flash the original rom to it to get it to find its IMEI and modem settings then flash the rom I want! Is the true? If so where do I get the original rom from as I got the phone with Cyanogen Helly bean on it so I don't even know what the original rom was??
Will really appreciate any help thanks!!!

Hi,
We can't be sure what the original ROM for your phone was, probably they we're referring to Eclair because that's the default. I have Galaxy S too so I wanted to help you. So here's what we will do, we might need to install an official stock ROM for it, we will not use froyo, instead this tutorial will let you install the latest GB for GT-i9000,GingerBread 3.6.
Here's the link (please hit thanks on the one who posted that if it will help you): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22555425
(You have to follow that tutorial up until this line only:
• 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.
**Lines after that, you don't need to do, since you will be flashing Slim rom. After that, your phone will reboot and you will be in the latest Gingerbread for Galaxy S, and a rooted one so you have a CWM)
After doing that, we will have to install Slim ROM. (a clean install, or fresh install, a clean install is this - wiping everything out, as in fresh install)
Here's what you need to do (straight from Slim Rom's website)
From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean
Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.
Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)
*** - If the flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash device before flashing common or other zip files.
(So that's what you need to do, just download the latest rom and the gapps for galaxy s i9000,
put it in the root of your internal sd card
Go to Clockwork mod (Turn off, then press DOWN, POWER, HOME simultaneously)
wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
Install zip from sd card and you will have the latest Slim rom and hopefully you get your IMEI back)
Please reply if you have more questions or clarifications needed, you can also message me, i will reply as soon as i can.

Guys. I have used Slim bean firmware on 2 i9000 with no issues but my third had imei unknown. I tried all options. Basically it would be there from 2.2 to 2.3 but once rooted and CWM added, and I installed Slim I would loose imei. Tried imei backups- no good. Fix was easy. Install Hellybean instead. Just worked. I suspect there is an issue in slim unfortunately...
This is a known issue with i9000 losing its IMEI... It was always recommended to have an EFS backup if it arose...
i've tried copying efs from backup using shady file root free but i still can't get my network back on infuse 4g

So can any one please help me with a step by step walk through as how to do this on a GT i9000 with Semaphore Kernel?
Thanks so much you Guys!!!!

Question...
Can I install MIUI Rom this way?
1) I don't root phone. I leave it as it is.
2) I do this "Backup your current ROM (Create ROM dump with SP FlashTool)" from codelover thread to back up my rom.
3) I unlock my bootloader using your this guide "Unlocking Bootloader (For International aka MY/TW set ONLY)" .
4) I download "H30-U10_LiveRecovery_TWRP.zip" and extract it to my computer.
5) Then I do this "Running Live Recovery: Use TWRP without flashing the recovery to device" .
5a) I create "Backup" using TWRP.
5b) I go on "Wipe" menu in "TWRP" and do factory reset one time.
5c) I come back on main menu of TWRP.
6) I click "Install" and navigate to my MIUI.zip and touch it to install.
7) After Miui.zip installation complete, I come back to main menu of "TWRP" then go in "Advance>File Manager>sdcard/dload and delete 'au_temp.cfg' ".
8) And at last I reboot and enjoy MIUI.
Is this correct? Plz reply soon..
Good plan!

One big issue, after instralling MIUI, there is caller ID mismatch, If i saved cell no with +92XXXXXXXXX, Then it will not recognize it on caller ID, And if I save number by 0XXXXXXXXXX, it will not show ID on receiving SMS
Kindly provide any way to fix it
Second No motion controll
Third no signs of 2G or 3G over signal bars

Is installing a custom rom remove/improve problems in xolo q700
Well I have been using my q700 for 1 year and exactly just after 1 year (after the warranty peroid is over) the mobile has been having many problems mostly hardware related. Just like the other mobiles out there its having the misbehaving touchscreen problem and the capacitive buttons have gone dead( havent had the swollen battery issue). I highly suspect this to be more like a software issue thats been generated by xolo after a particular period of usage of the handset. Or I may be wrong but every user have been starting to have this problems after 10-11 months of usage.
and I have not used my mobile much except for few phone calls (its my secondary cell). So my question is whether it is possible to inject such problems by above mentioned method and now can I use any custom rom that will remove such problems? Or is it just a hardware issue that everyone faces?

ARE NOT ALL THE SAME AS WITH MINE.
SO THERE ARE SO MANY CHANCES THAT U GOT LOST.
I TRIED TO EXPLAIN AS MUCH AS I CAN.
IF U FIND THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MISSING OR CAN'T ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS, THEN U SHOULD
GOOGLE UR PROBLEM FIRST.
HAVE BACKUP OF ALL NECESSARY STUFFS (CURRENT ROM , SCATTER FILE, IMEI) IS THE ONLY ADVICE I AM
GIVING TO U. HAVE FUN.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ROOTING :
USE KINGROOT.APK TO INSTALL QUICKLY
U CAN ALSO USE FRAMAROOT.APK FOR ROOTING IF THE FIRST OPTION NOT DONE SUCCESSFULLY.
OR MANUALLY ROOT Q700 VIA PC ( SEARCH IT ON YOUTUBE U WILL GET PERFECT VIDEO FOR THIS,NO WORRY AT
ALL)
u can also root it via mtkdroidtools.exe via pc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHING CWM RECOVERY ON xolo q700 :
U NEED ;
download mobile uncle tools.apk from play store,
download cwm recovery for xolo q700 files . . .
_________________________________
put downloaded CWM RECOVERY.IMG FILE into sd card's root folder. ..
(main recovery.img file should be mandatory to be in root folder of sd card for detected by mobile uncle tools.)
after downloading, open mobile uncle, go to recovery update --> where will u find the recovery.img file from your sd card. .
.install it.
and your xolo q700 device is flashed with cwm recovery successfully.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR UPGRADING XOLO Q700 DEVICE'S FIRMWARE TO XOLO Q700i'S FIRMWARE ::
u need;
vcom mtk 6589 drivers
mtkdroid tools.apk
sp tools.exe (use latest one, or go for version that is best suited for this device. i used is the version 3.1316.0.150)
q700i firmware
___________________________________________
make sure you logged into win 8.1/WIN 8 with "disable certificate force check" mode . .
( u will find it in "change pc setting", under "recovery and update" ---> "startup option " --> advance startup
reboot and select 7 no. for disabling the force check of certification . . .( mandatory)
pc will reboot.
then install vcom driver for mtk 6589 device manually ( mandatory)
manual process : go to my computer --> right click "manage" --> go to "device manager" --> select the main root node--> and
right click --> select add legacy driver/device --> next next --> select the drive : locate the vcom driver folder in that go to win 7
folder ---> in that select file as per ur pc bit format --> next next --> select "install it anyway " --> next next -->finish
damn u manually installed the drivers.

OPEN SP TOOLS
CLICK ON SCATTER LOADING --> SELECT THE MTK FILE FROM THE DOWNLOADED FIRMWARE OF Q700i

THAT SHOWS UR PROCEDURE SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED.
ENJOY THEN.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHING THE NEW ROM ON XOLO Q700 :
THIS IS NOT AT ALL BIG DEAL
U need;
-mtkdroidtools.exe
-mobileuncle.apk
-the desired rom's zip file in ur device's sd card in root folder (the top most one)
-ur device should have root permission and the recovery should be there..
REMEMBER FOR FLASHING ANY ROM U FIRST NEED TO ROOT UR DEVICE, 2ND IS THAT U HAVE TO UPGRADE THE
FIRMWARE OF Q700 TO Q700i'S FIRMWARE.
RECOMMENDED IS THAT : U SHOULD FLASH ANY RECOVERY BEFORE DOING FLASHING ANYTHING ON UR DEVICE,
AND ALSO BACKUP OF UR CURRENT ROM WITH "MTKDROIDTOOLS.EXE" SO IF ANY DISASTER HAPPEN WITH UR
DEVICE THIS WILL BE HELPFUL.
DON'T FORGET TO HAVE BACKUP OF UR IMEI AS WELL (BY USING MOBILEUNCLE.APK IS GOOD OPTION)

THEN ONLY U ARE ABLE TO FLASH ANY ROM.
THERE ARE TOO OPTION (there can be other options, but what i know is this only)
USE ROM MANAGER (BUT THIS WILL ONLY BE USEFUL IF U HAVE A PRIMEUM ROM MANAGER.APK)
2ND OPTION :
reboot ur device in recovery mode ( simple as hell, just switch off ur device, then press power button + volume up key
simultaneously . . . wait for a sec.
u will get recovery window.
select wipe data --> wipe all data --> yes
select wipe cache --> wipe cache --> yes
select zip from sd card --> select the desired zip file of other rom -->and there u go -- > process will start in some second. wait
till then.
