I am using DDKB2 and downloaded the latest CWM from first post. Flashed and it is woking great.

As you are stuck in bootloop, make a copy of the ddkb2 firmware tar. Download 7zip or total commander, open tar using any of the two and remove all files except normalboot.bin

After this you will have a ta with orignal normalboot. Flash it in ODIN as pda
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] willydejoe:
now works fine with the latest update to kp9 ................. thank you very much so I work brother
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivan08v:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Falex, can you tell me the way to restore just part of back up? When i go to CWM back up menu, i don't see any option related to this.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] comsci2:
Use advance restore, You can choose to restore the boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fxzy:
Excuse me, I can only find a boot.bin (one with 256 KB in size) and a normalboot.img (which has 4464 KB in size), which one will be correct?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Thank you, mate.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
Skin, can you add root script in KP9 CWM?

Because we are having problems whit the MTP device drivers and we can't plug in usb debug
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
OK

Now i can plug the phone in USB Debug mode just flashing KP9 and reflashing KP9 (the same method to get camera functional)

Doing this we can now plug in Debug mode to use whit ADB or Superone Click Root

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivan08v:

Sorry....where can i find normalboot.img?

and the GT-I9003_PDA-XXKC1.tar is for the I900XXKXC1?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
If you have the tar of your FW it's in the PDA packet.... otherwise you have to dump it from your phone with the command i put in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Really don't know how to resolve the issue for that FW. Maybe they are very different from the other cause nandroid works very well normally.... maybe you are using adb while you are doing backup?

I suggest to update to the latest FW and try with it since i really haven't time to flash that FWs to test the CWM... I'm sure you can understand me
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] summerset:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
@skin, I just wanted to know, how difficult would it be to port the CWM to GB? Do you need the separate resources specific to GB? or is it can be done now after you have already compiled it for froyo?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Today i will update my phone to GB.... and today i will build the CWM for GB.... wish it works!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Cwm is clockworkmod and. Nandroid is a part of it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Thought there was a FAQ section here somewhere...If CWM works for GB. Then it's an almost perfect match up to the i9000 at this point. I'm keeping my fingers crossed
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arifroni:
hi....this command is giving me this error

"-normal-boot" is not a valid argument
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
not "-normal-boot" but "--normal-boot" ---> you have to put double "-"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Ok, i have updated the CWM to Gingerbread KP9. I haven't test it so if something don't work report me.

The issues are the same since KP9 use the same FileSystem of froyo and the KP9 Kernel don't support EXT4 ( this time don't support also EXT2 and EXT3 that froyo kernel supported).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
You are super fast man. Great.. Now we will be sure to have cwm undoubtedly when upgrade to GB. All credit goes to you, you have made it possible for our device. Thanks once again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala242:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
You can flash whole ROM's with CWM. I'm not really sure though if you can use stock one's. As far as I know, custom roms can be flashed with CWM.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Hi all.... i'm really disappointed.... the GB version still can't install ZIP.... if done many test but don't work... i wish this is caused by the young kernel.... we'll see....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
No worries skin. Let's wait for the official release or even a stable release to see if the kernel is the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] coolpix90:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
everything you need to know is in post 1 of this thread.

If you don't see your firmware listed, it not yet ported. Also in the first post is what you need to do if you would like to see a port to your firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Whoa! Huge step climbed here.. :D

Well done Skin, major up for this one! Keep it going. I'm sorry for not being very active in the last few weeks, unavoidable commitments. But, I'll try and do something for the GB version whenever I can find some time now. :)

Btw Skin, can you PM me the exact issues with nandroid right now on the Froyo build?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
No issue on Froyo Build.... all works. Got problem with GB but - for me - it depends by the young kernel that doesn't have many features....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ashishsaggu:
hi... i m trying to get ginger bread on my friends phone.. i use optimus one.. can u plese tell me how do i go to recovery in this.. i used rom mangaer for that.. the volume down+power+ok buttons keep going into download mode....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ashishsaggu:
ok... after going to recovery by rom manager ithey volume down+power+ok key are also taking the phone to recovery only... now how do i go into download mode if i want to flash gingerbread into the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] podanimesh:
don''t use rom manager

simply power off the phone

for download mode

[Volume Down]+[Home]+[Power]

for recovery mode

[Volume Up]+[Home]+[Power]

alternate

use adb

type

1)adb reboot recovery for recovery

2)adb reboot download for download

hope it helps..

For all guys that had problem restoring nandroid backup (cannot unmount /system) i have make a new version --- i'm updating the link in the first post
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] catro1:
Hi Skin. I try to make a rom containing CWM. But after I flashed the rom by odin, it seems data is not wiped by command in csc.tar. There's a line in csc.tar/cache.rfs/command,

--wipe_data

So I wonder if it is caused by CWM or just my wrong operation?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
sorry but i really don't understand what you mean... can you explain it better please?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
I have a noobish query.if i backup my froyo xxkb3 with nandroid, then flash to gingerbread xxp9.when i restore will i get my xxkb3 back???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
+1.

Also I have question: won't I get bootloop because I have installed CWM version for XXKP9 and I restored XXKB3?

Skin: Can you answer why we should have several versions of CWM for each our firmware, but official CWM is one per device?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Because normalboot.img store both kernel and ramdisk.... and the kernel/lib are not the same for all FW....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
i think that you can try but after the restore you have to flash again the CWM for xxkb3 cause the kernel are different
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
ok here comes another noobish question: does backing up using this cwm also backs up efs folder(incase i lose my imei no. product code)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Can you create something like this? It's CWM for i9000 in update.zip format

In this case you don't need to create so many images for different firmwares

Thanks again for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I think no. Here is only:

.android_secure.img

cache.img

data.img

datadata.img

sd-ext.img

system.img

But you can backup efs manually
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] catro1:
When we flash stock rom by odin, the phone enters recovery and run some commands at the first time it reboots. The commands are: apply update package, wipe data and so on. The stock recovery runs 'wipe data' successfully. But when I replace cwm in PDA.tar, 'wipe data' command is not executed. So, is it caused by cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Are you asking if cwm was successfully installed?

If so check it by going to recovery mode.. I don't think flashing cwm with odin wipes anything..it just needs to replace a single file..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] akarach:
I got some problem but not serious. when I press home button to select main menu, it go to the first option of that menu. Could you add ".." for first option in each menu for back or previous option. It maybe useful. Thx.

sorry about my english....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
To return to previous menu press "Back" button
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
i do agree we have to select with home key n as soon as the next step comes the programme is so responsive that the first selection in the next screen gets selected automatically before i can let go of the home button.not a major issue but can need a few tries to get it right.........(can be very painfull if the first option is a reboot option especially).........if a blank response option can be implemented as the first option to every screen we need to select something it would be very convenient :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] akarach:
Thank you for more explaining :D:D

That's my point.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:

Like i wrote in a precedent post the issue is inside kp9 firmware... i can say this cause i modified the stock recovery of kp9 to allow test-signed zip installation and it didn't work.... same error of CWM. Maybe this fw lack of some feature.

BTW i can give an anticipation on what i'm working on since this GB is so unstable... ext4 conversion and support for Froyo... this will kick up performance for our i9003!

for CWM you have to use unyaffs.... for system.rfs from Samsunf FW you have to mount under linux with

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
TVs output is firmware based -.-
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
ya...its firmware based. but its in kernal. Thats why i think kernal is very imp related to this.

good news for us bad news for u @skin u got some hell of work to do.

new firmware by end of this week.

ITS NOT mENtion that it will be GB or FROYO.....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
can i hav the same pm plz.same unresolved query
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Misledz said that even though we swapped our internal and external sd card we will have the same functionality.. The default storage of backup in a non swapped sd card is the external but when we'll do the swap its default will be the internal sd card (former external sd card).. In other words cwm plus swap is fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
I wish GB... i'm ready to work! Now i have some work in progress for Froyo (ext4 coversion and overclock) but if i have a stable GB rom i'll be sure that my work will have long life
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeap :D because skin has set it to target that way but I am unsure if it specificaly targets the vold . If I understand it correctly it should be targetting the vold.stab and the code is set to recognize the ID code tag of the external_sd , I guess that's the only simplest term to put it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] willydejoe:
a stable rom? could you please post it for everyone?

proposal would be a wonderful

many thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
He mentioned there would be one hopefully. It's by SamFirmware as tweeted by them at the end of this week , please don't misunderstand his post.
