used this tool today on my daughter's new galaxy and it works great! The CF file didn't flash but the SpeedMod did no problem. Made installing GB JVK, rooting and installing a custom Rom a snap: thank you!

All Rom chefs should thank you for making their work that much more accessible to new users wanting to customize their phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lyon huntington:
This also fixes the problems when you try to skip the gingerbread base without having to re-install the rom.

I messed around with Darkcore2.1 and darky's v10 5.3, and used this to fix the graphics corruption and no recovery screen.

Thanks

Ok the thread is updated ;) Have fun ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] maccaberry:
Thankyou SDeba for the really useful post. I tried the CFRoot version and got a constant reboot, but the speedmod version worked perfect.

I noticed the CFRoot version is removed from OP so I assume it was a problem.

I know this is the wrong thread but wasnt sure if this is a problem of the mini rom or your Debas rom... one problem I noticed though is that when I flash your gingerbread-standard-wipe rom I cannot use recovery properly at the recovery boot. Tells me that the rom is not signed.

I will flash bad to stock froyo and try again and report back.

never mind
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The method you outlined may or may not work, but I can't make heads or tails of the instructions you gave so I have no idea really.

What exactly is "App abandoned boat" supposed to mean? Also looking at your four steps I don't see where the GB bootloader is installed before flashing the custom ROM (which I assume is what you do in step 4, even though "GB ROM select and ready" doesn't mean what you may think it means).

Lastly, it is not good form to hijack someone else's thread with your own way of doing what they posted about. If you have faith in your process, make your own thread....but clear, concise instructions would be helpful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] silitek:
sorry, I don't wanted to give the impression of a hack topic. Only from stock Gingerbread to Custom rom using the two app's if you run Already root.

it's the same process as custom ROMs GB only without the intervention of Odin.

and pull out the battery trick.

edit:

.My head is a mess today .... :)

I apologize to the topic starter ...

Have a nice day

that's all ..

for all users here:

I think its very risky to flash only bootloaders. Why dont flash the whole ROM when its much safer:

hi,

just tried to flash following the procedure, now I'm getting speedmod recovery as usual, but it does not seem that the GB bootloaders were installed...

when flashing insanity 8.1, i'm stuck on the Galaxy S logo.

Did I miss something ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] silitek:
Let me guess! You running froyo before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benz0076:

I have a question..

I used your gb starter and got 2.3.3 running on my gf samsung.

What if she wants to go back to froyo do i need to install another bootloader.

Can you descripe how to and wich tar file to use.

Thank you for your great work

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Perka:
hmmm so this is just the speedmod kernel packed with the bootloaders.

Nice pack but I dont see the point.

anyway good job :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
I think that it simplifies the installation proccess. Instead of downloading and flashing the whole GB, you just need to download 8MB pack and flash, then you're ready to flash custom ginger ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Perka:
true :) now I see the point :p

EDIT: what command did u use to md5 your tar? when I tried mv Odin gives me error.

Any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
Yep, first of all save the MD5 values into the file by typing that:

md5sum -t Your_file.tar >> Your-file.tar

Then rename that file:

mv Your_file.tar Your_file.tar.md5

That's all ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgsshedden:
that's because you have considerable expertise and often are one of the people others call for help after they've messed up! (Much appreciated by all)

This pack gets noobies started with minimal exposure to the aspects most likely to cause confusion and error i.e. the Odin flash part, plus minimizes the number of steps (no need to explain rooting etc.).

As the Galaxy gains in popularity so will first time custom Rom users.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benz0076:
Anybody...thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
I think that you could just flash Froyo and It'll be running fine. If not just PM me and I'll help you ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgsshedden:
Used your starter pack again on two more phones, makes everything so simple
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chris2busy:
Ok well i got a different type of question here..my phone did not originally have the 3 button combination available and yo fix it,i had to install a custom bootloader..now by flashing this 1 do i get the combo working or not?also in this way am i able to flassh a froyo rom after through cwm?

After flashing this the combo should work normally, nothing changes ;)

It wasn't tested on Vibrant. Contact me on PM and I'll help you ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mab71:
if i have flashed GB before and then went back to froyo, and now i want to go back to GB, do i need to flash your starter pack for the bootloaders again or do i already have the required(updated) bootloaders from my previous GB flash? thanks...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
Don't know, it depends to how you've installed this Froyo and which one. Just to be sure, install the Starter and you'll be fine ;)

Worked wonderfully! thanks a lot SDeba! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vladstercr:
hi...i'm a little confused...

SpeedMOD K13E is for froyo as far as it says in the original thread, and we use this method to flash gingerbread roms

so, what shall I do if I want to install Simply Honey 3.2 V2 FINAL! (2.3.3 JVB)

1. flash the gingerbread starter

2. flash speedmod gingerbread k15d

3. flash simply honey rom

? please let me know...thanks!

You've messaged me on PM so you have an answer there ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kholargol:
Hello,

Just to say that it will be a good idea to include Odin in the pack or at least a link to download it.

I will make a proper pack..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
Ok, I'll add ODIN link, thanks for idea ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Soniboy84:
Hello!

I'm on Cyanogenmod 7 2.3.4, and I dont think I have bootloader. Now I have gingerbread. Does it make a difference with this rom, or I should just go ahead and flash it as it would be 2.2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
If you want to stay on CyanogenMOD, just don't do anything ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
Just added the ODIN 1.7 download link ;)

do i need to install boatloaders nd chainfire kernel if i have stock jvk ??i want to flash simple honey rom..

Just read the topic title :) "Only for Froyo users", so you don't need to flash it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gioffon:
What if i want to get back to froyo ?

im getting some issues with froyo roms right now, theres any way to restore EVERYTHING as it was on Eclair or Froyo at least ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
There is no problem ;) If you'll flash Gingerbread and then would like to go back to Froyo, you'll just have to flash Froyo ROM and that's it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BottleB:
Gingerbread bootloaders compatible with froyo roms?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gioffon:
Yes thx! I think its compatible with froyo but not with eclair, i was flashing eclair :P

Flashed JPU and evrything its fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
There is no problem with flashing Froyo on GB ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zorxd:
So, if froyo is compatible with the gingerbread boot loader, does it mean that we could flash a package with only the boot loader (no kernel) and then flash a gingerbread ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
It means that if you'll install Gingerbread with its bootloaders, you'll we able to flash Froyo on this instantly, because this bootloaders are compatibile with it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shuk9782:
Can use it for my galaxy sl?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] senotrius:
k13e is not for gingerbread..it works only for froyo or eclair

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vivasanti:
Is there a method to flash from stock 2.1 to this rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 001356:
So why does some guys writing that JVO has different bootloaders and that flashing if JVO is neccessary if.coming from JVB/JVK. This whole Odin flashing **** just sucks...

And this method is really cool, but also confusing to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] astralmind:
same kind of question here. I want to flash the latest Romkitchen GingerRom or Simple Honey 3.5(JVH) and it says to flash JVH base bootloader first. Would your file still work ?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SDeba:
JVO/JVB/JVK and any other Gingerbread ROMs has the same bootloaders, so this method can be applied to them :)

Just as answered above ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] suddene:
Fist off hello to all and wanted to say I really respect and admire the dedicated interest to devices I've noticed on this forum..its inspiring,,,

anyway... My brother went ahead and flashed this so he could get honey rom on his galaxy...but for some selfish reason decided it would be safer for him to do this on a spare Galaxy S I had lying around...didnt even bother asking me but oh well here we are ,, anyway he followed the instructions with odin 1.7 everything went perfect, all green and seemed successful... unluckily when it finished it got to the point where i believe it needed to reboot into recovery mode ( to allow the actual ROM install) but it did not reboot on its own, and after several minutes turned off and with my luck he hands it to me telling me he has no idea what happened.

So i am left searching for some hopeful light.... anyway it no longer turns on, no sign of life, no screen no lights, no USB pulse anyway, no download mode ( key1 and power ), no recovery Vol down and power/and or camera.... it seems completely dead... any advice,, is this Dead and should i just trash it or is there something possible to fix this? thanks for any help...

if any help ,, i believe it had clockwork recovery already on it along with super rom or something of that name... are there any other key combs i can try or any tips

much appreciated

If KB5 is Froyo then you need to flash Froyo bootloaders.

I have a Galaxy S with stock 2.2 ROM and Voodoo lagifx. The phone version is I9000XXJPP. The phone has never had a custom rom flashed before.

If I understand this correctly, all I need to do is disable the voodoo lagfix, follow the instuctions on page one, and then flash any ginger rom from CWM.

Is it really that easy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] droilfade:
Yes it is :D Disable lagfix...let the system boot and then the procedure.

I had a lot of problem (bad flashing) because of Odin.

I advise using :

[PROGRAM] Heimdall - Open-Source Cross-Platform Flashing Suite (1.2.0 Available)

To flash.

Put your phone in Download Mode :

- Switch off phone

- Press and hold Vol. down and Home button

- Power the phone on

- Once you see a Droid digging and the Test "DO NOT SWITCH OFF TARGET", let go off all the buttons.

- Plug the USB cable in your computer.

If you can't access Download Mode, do not go further, and read this before :

[110% SAFE] 3-Button Combo FiX for Selected/ALL Firmwares

Just put :

- zImage as Kernel (zImage)

- boot.bin as "Primary Bootloader"

- Sbl.bin as "Secondary Bootloader"

And hit Start !

If all is well, you can now boot in recovery

I've searched for similar threads but none quite like the question I'm about to ask. I am using Koni Elite series III and have been for some time. I just did a clean wipe to see if this would resolve it but still happening. The problem is I get 2 notifications when someone sends me a text. Usually this person is on my contacts list so I get one with there name and the other comes in as the phone number. I'd rather just have the one from the name. I don't seem to be getting dual messages.. Just dual notifications. I do not have any other messaging apps installed .. just the default from the rom.. No other themes except Launcher pro installed. Thanks for any advice or help on this.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiK:
Before you take your phone back to Verizon, try connecting to the phone with adb. If you can cd to the sd card and ls the contents, you can push the RUU to the card and return to stock. I am currently trying to resolve the same problem where the SD card fails to mount on PC and suspect it might be related to root. I might end up returning it to stock to test my hypothesis if I can't find a solution in a few minutes; I'll post back with my results.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiK:
Okay, this may or may not be relevant to the original poster, but after more investigation, it appears that this issue might be related to some corruption of system files related to handshaking with Windows in Drive mode that occurred since rooting the device. Restoring the rooted system image resolved the problem. The issue was unrelated to kernels, though, since flashing the default kernel did not improve anything.

If you can access the SD card with ADB, your best bet is to restore your rooted stock backup or re-flash the stock image to see if that corrects your issues prior to returning your phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
If the phone can't read the SD card it doesn't matter what he can get on it, the phone has to be able to read the sd card to flash anything.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
If you have the proper images, they can be flashed using fastboot, which doesn't require an SD card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdBrain:
There was a mod in one of the previous ROMs I had installed (I think it was CM6.1) that kept the landscape keyboard from taking up the whole screen in Messenging and GChat. It doesn't seem to be in CM7, or at least I can't find it. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Is there a modded version of GChat or Messenging out there with that ability, or does anyone know if the CM7 team is going to be adding this feature?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdBrain:

Hi,

I recently started using royalginger 1.5 (awesome) but for some reason the contacts from my phone book do not appear as I start typing their number.

Please help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Just answered this in another thread for you but that's cause stock Rom is just a variation of sense and gingerbread is what your on which is a completely different UI so if you want that back flash RoyalGlacier or some other stock-ish Rom.
