I forgot to mention Kies HAS to be installed, because Kies contains the drivers for Windows necessary to connect to your phone, so I still don't get how you succesfully flashed 2.3.6, since it would (or at least should...!) never recognize your device without Kies. Nevertheless, good to hear you succeeded, it did cost me some time to flash my phone for the first time as well :rolleyes: . Eventually after 10 failed attempts or so, I discovered my pc just wouldn't properly work with Odin (32-bit win7) so I tried with my laptop (64-bit win7); instant succes. After almost 2 days... Moral of the story? You're by far not the only one having trouble with 1st time flashing...!!

1. Things you could do right now to make your phone faster and better, :

Getting root acces: here

2. Then you could get Feamod ClockWorkMod Recovery installed: CWM

3. Then you could get the latest Feacore kernel Feacore Phoenix Stable OC by Manveru

4. Last but not least you could get Ultimate Adrenaline Shot V13 (=UAS) or Thunderbolt. I tried both, and in my opinion UAS was working best for me (attachment). XDA-page about UAS

You can always see the i9001 Wiki for references

Btw, did you messed up names? Or am I trying to take Mikeeo19's grats (and 10 bucks) right now? :p
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mikeeo019:
Haha im not sure about anything right now. I assume he thanked me as i sent him a pm with the instructions I thought might be useful.

@Richieboy: Correct me if im wrong :D Secondly you couldn't even be able to donate for me as Im underage :D 4 months till the age of 18.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nikagl:
If you still want to get rid of your money, I am old enough and I responded with 1 quick response too... lol :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] wietwiet:
Haha, cant see pm's off course :-P

There were 2 answers in his post, so I couldn't keep track with who he was talking and tanking to...!!

Nevertheless Richieboy (whats in a name?), you can keep your 10 bucks. I'm 17 as well! And im not the reason of you succeeding in flashing, as it seems to be :-P
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Richieboy67:
The kids just left so I am just going through things now. I appreciate everyone who helped but I was going to send the money to Mike because he also pm'd me. Because he is underage and because others also responded with offers to help I think I will look into some various roms and tweaks and I will donate the money to the developer of the scripts I use.

The guide has been very helpful and both of you have been everyone who replied also helped me but I believe what really got my phone working wasn't something to do with the sd card. It seemed to go through the steps no problem after I replaced it.

With regards to Kies and the drivers I have had drivers installed without Kies and have been able to sync my phone with no issues since I have had it. I have never used Kies until today really. I rooted my phone and I sync daily for podcasts etc using other software so I am not sure if installing Kies is what did it either. What ever the case you guys have been awesome and I really also appreciate the additional help telling me how to proceed further.

As I said, I do not usually offer money when asking for help but I was desperate and I am very grateful. I will support you guys that develop roms, etc as much as I can especially for an off model like the 9001plus...

If anyone is working on getting ICS ported you can bet your life I will be helping to support that...

I haven't really had a chance yet to go over the posts entirely that were posted after I got offline so if I missed anything it is not intentional. I appreciate everything.

Thanks

Now to see if I can improve things..I have not yet tweaked anything since flashing but my benchmark is still much lower than my orginal. I have not yet updated that gpu driver so maybe that will help a bit too but I am looking forward to going ahead with the custom tweaks..

Update - I have rooted, installed cwm and I just finished installing the universal adrenalin shot13... I am still using the stock 2.3.6 rom though. My performance has improved according to antutu but I have not over clocked yet.

Can you guys suggest a good rom that will let me over clock but still be stable? Good battery life is important as well.

BTW - I offered the $10 to the first one to help me get it fixed. I was going to give it to Mike because he did private message me with some help plus he made some posts and he was first but he could not take the money. The problem is that all of you guys deserve it but I cannot afford to give like that so I hope you do not mind if I just use it to support a developer by buying another app or something. BTW-The flash guide has also been very helpful.

Thanks much - Oh yeah - sorry for the double posts, I was frantic before..as for my name, I go by Richie to good friends and I have been using RichieBoy online since the early 90's.. Ofcvourse now I am an old man in my 40's but RichieOldman just doesn't sound right so I think I will stick with Richieboy..haha and yes, I am still crazy after all these years..

question

So; a newbie question;;;

does the flashing proccess also root it or do i need to root separately before....

I would also like to ask about kernels.... i rooted with superoneclick and later unrooted.

unroot just removed superuser and kept the root kernel.... i would like to get the stock

kernel back... which steps do i take to return stock kernel and completely unroot?

really grateful for your help

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
how about trying a factory reset ?

sjsj

tried, wont reset kernel....
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
u can download the kernel sources and compile it (if u know how to do so) , or root again and flash this stock ,it's the stock kernel with only init.d support (no OC and no additional stuff) then unroot.

Edit: or flash one of the released stock roms.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] lamatta7:
Thanks, really appreciate your help....

Do i need to root before.i install one of the stock roms???

And just curious, does the.rom also install its own kernel or sth?

thank you, i9001
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
well to be on the safe side u can always root before using this method , it takes only a few seconds ;)

of course, the rom has it's stock kernel.

Hi mikeeo019!

I just bought a Galaxy Plus I9001, and KIES has stoped at 3%.

So I flashed with Odin, like u said.

At first time, Odin has stoped too, then i took the SIM card out, after that the flashing was succesfull.

I bought the phone from Vodafone Romania, and the ROM(Gingerbread 3.6) which is in your list is from Vodafone Hungary, is it a problem if I use a phone from Vodafone Romania with firmware from Hungary?Or should I flash with the romanian firmware?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
It doesnt matter,u can flash firmware of any region
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] baric29:
OK, thanks!

But then what's the difference then between the firmwares in different countries and network providers?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
U flash chinese firmware,u get full Chinese read/write support.

European firmware have support for european languages

eg-U live in germany.U wouldnt want a rom that has chinese,but not german
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] lamatta7:
thx

so i should first root with superoneclick and then use this method to install rom?

thNks
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
Flashing via ODIn doesnt require Root.It's made by Samsung
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] lamatta7:
so i simply use odin to flash a rom like this posts tutorial says?

and will my memory (phone, internal sd, external sd; be still thre after flashing?

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mikeeo019:
Yes you flash just as it's said on the guide :)

Nothing is wiped from your sd-card or external sd. Only the XXPK4 wipes your current apps and does a factory reset.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nikagl:
Some other (custom) ROMs may also do factory reset (like Cranium RC6). Best is always to install CWM (Faemod) and make a backup to sdcard (and check, for instance by restoring it). That way you will always know all data is safe...

Hey i've dowloade this all and follow instructions but i'm stuck

I9001XXKPU - i've downloade this firmware (its 2.36) and im flashing my phone using ODIN now.. but the author says that flashing durates about 9 minutes and mine already durates 70 minutes and it's stuck in halfway

<1> system.img.ext4 download.. the log stays like that for 65 minutes.. is this normal??? can i have some help?

I've did EVERYTHING as it was written in the guide
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nikagl:
Try again, maybe with another USB port and cable if it fails again...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Atrocius:
im trying it now.. i've read that installing 2.33 again will solve the problem it it fails again :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nikagl:
I don't think there's many that tried XXKPU...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Atrocius:
so i know.. that's why i'm trying with ZSKP6

guess its gonna be ok :P

i have to unbrick the phone... otherwise.. i will have to get it repaired on warranty
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nikagl:
As long as you don't flash invalid boot.img you'll be ok :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
boot.img contains the kernel, not the bootloader. You can always reflash a wrong kernel (boot.img) as long as you didn't kill the bootloader which is in another partition of the phone and enables you to switch to download mode.

Or in other words: only an invalid bootloader will hard brick your phone, invalid kernels (boot.img) usually lead to boot loops which can be repaired by flashing an appropriate kernel (via odin).
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] baric29:
Hi!

Atrocius:

I had the same problem with the XXKPS version, I took the SIM card out and without it the flashin was succesfull.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] chasemyass:
question: Before i try flash any ROM do I need to set the USB mode on debug or somethin`?Or the download mode reboot will do everything what is necessary for flash to work?I`m asking this because I`ve tryied 2 times to flas RC1 with Odin and everytime I`ve got same error msg at the beggining of flash: could not open usb port error: 5 or sumthin` like that.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
Can you connect your phone via Kies or as mass storage controller ?

If not you might have a USB driver problem, are the correct Samsung USB drivers installed ?

To flash via Odin:

- USB debug mode off

- USB mode: mass storage

- put phone in download mode: press Vol down+Home+Power while phone is off

Start Odin V4.43 and then connect phone to USB port and Odin should recognize it in a few seconds.

Better Rom

Heloo,i am new to this forum.

I am busy at office,and i dont have time for test.I use mobile for call,sms and sometime games.

Which is best Rom for daily use?It should have fast,smoothness,and stable.

1)I read that Cranium Rom have bug of USb and MP3,but i also read they can fix.

2)So which is best rom,Broodrom or Cranium ROm?

Sorry for bad english and thank you!

It's all up to your own preference. Try them both and let us know which you prefer :)

how to transfer contacts....

Guyz how can we transfer contacts to the SGS+ from KIES after flashing the ROM to 2.3.6.....Cant do it the normal way cuz kies gets hangged every time i try!!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] 0355:
I have a weird problem on the i9001 of my wife...

I use odin multi 4.43 with ariesve.ops from manveru0's thread and I try to install XXKPU (DBT) 2.3.6 or XXKPS (AUT) 2.3.6 as "one package".

When I press "start" it goes all extremely smooth (the flash operation keep no more than 3:30 mins with "closing serial..." message as expected in the left column).

At this point I do not wait for it to end the time lapse to the message "pass" in blue and I unplug the phone after it did a full reboot (well beyond the boot animation with the "S" logo).

All seems fine except for the fact that after a short time (a matter of minutes) it starts to behave unpredictably:

market application disappears, every apk installation fails ("application not installed" is the output), some applications start disappearing (greyed icon with a minus sign on it and "application not installed on phone" as output on tap over the greyed icon itself) and reappearing after each reboot.

Example: after first reboot market is greyed out, after second reboot it normal but maps is greyed out (with his companions such as latitude or navigator) and it's impossible to install any apk, after third reboot it's possible to install from market but not from apks.... and so forth...

If I restore a nandroid backup of original firmware (branded 2.3.5) all is fine and phone behaves normally again.

Please I need help on this one
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mikeeo019:
I had some problems like those before. First flash FeaMod 1.2. That may already solve the problem. Then you should try reflashing. And remember the nandroid backup
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] 0355:
I didn't mention 'cause I thought it was complimeotary to the procedure (as I also mentioned that a nandroid bkp saved my pants)...

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nikagl:
Hi Taiji,

Wow, solved it in only one hour time! Impressive, because trust me - I've worked with some people for hours to get their phone onto Cranium RC7 :)

I guess rooting might be one of the reasons for that specific ROM not to work. The Odin packages have been tested, but it looks like just by me (and for me it worked fine when I followed the procedure mentioned in several posts of the Cranium thread).

Nevertheless, thanks for posting this - it is definitely useful for several newbies, also to understand the consequences of installing new (custom) ROMs. For stock ROMs (XXKPS, etc.) it's working a lot easier, just follow the steps in the OP of this thread and you'll be allright - they are from Samsung and installing them through Kies always works (as far as I have seen)...

Regards,

Nika.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] illeont:
Thanks. Can i flash custom roms too without being rooted?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nikagl:
Again, depends on the ROM and type of package (Odin or not). Haven't tried it with a stock ROM and an Odin package (I guess that should work).

But don't worry too much about being rooted or not. Rooting is a very simple process and can easily be reverted. Start flashing one of the many stock roms and see how that goes.

Next try rooting your device and install Feamod Recovery (see other thread).

When your device still feels ok, and you have tried to make your first backup in Feamod (and could successfully restore it - don't worry, all these things do not hurt your phone and can be reverted), then start looking into Custom Roms...

In all cases my advice is always:

* Take more than enough time when you start (at least 4 hours even though the actual process takes only 10 minutes you may end up in debugging why something does not work

* Preferably take a backup of everything you have - best is backup through Feamod Recovery (and make sure to test restoring the backup at least once)
