First time i9000 Flasher:

First-time i9000M flashers:

Be advised, when you upgrade from Bell/Virgin stock UGKG3, your phone will no longer boot up as I9000

M

, but instead as I9000 (without the 'M'). And from then on you will be on an I9000. That is normal and no cause for alarm.

Enjoy!

I am flashing my I9000 for the first time. so far unsuccessuful with CM7 and CM9 rom

I rooted it, and clockwork mod works fine. I do backup, factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe devlin and install CM7 or CM9 from SDcard.

It starts to flash till about 10%, then it stops (crashes) and tries to boot, but it cant. obviously it does not flash the rom entirely.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
Automatically reboots from recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] klappy1:
Yes. When I start flashing, it lasts for a few seconds only (i can see that it gets around 10% of instalation) and then screen turns black and i get Galaxy S Cyanogen mod on screen and it stays so for ever if I dont turn it off. So i flashed it back to stock rom and rooted again. same thing with CM7 and CM9 several times.

UPDATE:

I gave it one more try, looking at some videos. After first instalation when it should get to sistem recovery, for a second I can see android caracter lying on his back. Above it is red triangle with an exclamation mark inside. Then it switches back to Salaxy s screen.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] HiKsFiles:
@AllGamer : a few questions...

1) If coming from UGKG3, why do you repart with 512.pit when flashing JVP ?

2) Is there a reason why you chose JVP over JVR or JVT for example as those GB flavours are also easily rootable with the CF-root/Semaphone kernel?

3) Correct me if I'm wrong, but in both OneCosmic's and TeamHacksung's version of ICS for SGS, front cam doesn't work well. Knowing this, does FaceUnlock work on our i9000m?

The whole point behind this post is : i'm running JVT and the device has been already rooted and CWM is installed, so I just need to go through the last steps of installing ISC, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rockyc4u:
I'll give a try
[Galaxy S I9000 General] porkncheese:
Great thread! very very useful.

before starting i checked to see if simlock and network lock were turned off, simlock is off but network lock is on and there is no visible way of turning it off, should i just go ahead and begin flashing or do i need to turn off network lock?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yes, that is the idea with nandroid, it doesn't care what you have, it will just put everything back to the way you backed it up

if you already have JVT then you don't need the above steps, just find a compatible CF root to flash on top, and you can do the rest

this topic is aimed to people confused about not finding anything for the i9000m or i9000b and other similar variants
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Thanks but then why do I only see the following files in my nandroid backup:

nandroid.md5 (no content)

cache.img

datadata.img

data.img

system.img

which one contains my kernel and my modem? I thought they were on different partitions? Besides, I don't think I can restore a nandroid backup if the partition table changes...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you can always flash to stock with ODIN then restore your Nandroid
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
OK, so kernel and modem aren't saved. That's what I wanted to know. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FuryriderX:
Excellent guide, well done.

Might be worthwhile to note that any cm7 modem package can be flashed onto ICS.

One thing - DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT flash fugumod on cm9 (teamhacksung's betas)! You will end up in endless bootloops. Might want to mention this in the instructions? The fugumod kernel is only for onecosmic's beta 2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] inv3stment:
does this guide apply to i9000 without the extra letter?

I am really keen to to update to ICS.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FuryriderX:
Just follow the instructions in the first post of the ICS port thread. Its easy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snehasish:
Heimdall

Hi Guys,

You can replace the initial steps of flashing a (I9000) JVP rom and the corresponding kernel by just flashing the appropriate kernel for the I9000M. For example I was on UGKG3 for the GT-I9000M so I went and found ChainFire's I9000M kernel (which is part of his Mobile Odin I9000M download on xda) and flashed it onto my phone with heimdall.

heimdall flash --kernel zImage

Now I have Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.5 and Clockwork Mod manager, which means I can now flash any updates from the zip file.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paezaa:
Thanks of the best guides
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spronx_:
thanks for this! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Getinaf:
I can get through all of the steps but when I install either one of the ICS flavors through CWR it boot loops.

It shows the steps of installing a new rom really quickly, reboots. The boot screen loads, the first time boot starts again, crashes.

I can get into stock KG3 again and back to JVP and try to reinstall but it keeps boot looping.

I followed all the instructions to the letter, any ideas for a fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that happened to me, when i did not do a full Wipe

make sure you do a full wipe

you can install the Teamhacksung Build 9 it's the most stable at the moment
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Getinaf:
I tried using Build 9 as well as wiping data/factory reset and cache twice just in case, I also wiped Dalvik just in case. And it worked! Thanks a ton AllGamer!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darrenweiner:
Thanks AllGamer for the guide for us Canucks.

It's appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lilreaper13:
I tried to do that, using every builds (Teamhacksung Build 9/10, oneCosmic's), wiping two times each time, with the Dalvik, and it aint working. Anyone have an idea? I followed exactly the steps in the tutorial btw.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FinancialWar:
where is the ICS port thread?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FuryriderX:
Search :)

Its in the i9000 android development forum.

EDIT: AND posted in the OP. Do a bit of reading man!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FinancialWar:
is it the teamhacksung build 10 thread? It's still buggy man.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Getinaf:
I forgot to say, I also removed my external SD to flash, try that!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lilreaper13:
I'll try doing that... but what is weird is that it reset during the installation, almost at the same point for all the versions i tried

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

Finally did it! By removing the sd card it still failed at the installation from CWR, but started installing again after booting (Build 9)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Getinaf:
Yeah, the same thing happened to me. It seemed to have some option dependent on the external SD that was fixed by removing it and using Team Hacksung build 9.

Cm7 has the JVK modem so it should work. In running Cm7-nightly181 with JVK.

ICS 4.0.3 RC2.11 upgrade on Bell Samsung Galaxy S I9000M

Hi:

Just expressing my gratitude for your time in putting the files/links and HOWTO info. Used your info in transit from Gingerbread GKG3 -> your ROM with CWM and rooted kernel to apply ICS 4.0.3 RC2.11 by Onecosmic.

Only glitch I encoutered was after applying ICS it rebooted and showed the flying disks in color as part of boot but would not come up clean. So I powered off hard and did the 3 button combo to go into CWM recovery and wiped data + caches and rebooted. Up she came. Phone working (Text, phone, camera, etc.). Only issue encountered is with bluetooth and USB connections (outstanding issues).

thx for your time spent :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] androidwizard:
Awesome guide. I am currently running ics from teamhacksung on my Bell get i9000m. Love It. I do have two issues though. I can't seem to get face unlock to work. And I am missing my swype. I know there is slide it in market but it is not the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
Did you flash the latest face unlock zip from the ics thread?? And search xda for the latest swipe and install...

I'm not on ICS yet because its only in alpha stages.. so I'm probably not much help to you if what I suggested doesn't work ask in the team hacksung thread
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androidwizard:
Thanks. I did download the face unlock.zip. When I try to open the program it says settings has closed. I will keep working at it though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sepharite:
Installing CWRecovery doesn't flash or remove anything from my current ROM, correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Siberian Tiger:
It doesn't remove anything.The only thing is that flashes the recovery ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sepharite:
Quick reply, thank you.

I'm running 2.3.3, the latest from Bell. The UGKG3 version. I can simply just flash over it?

I'm just being super careful haha.

edit: Just flashed it and now it's bootlooping. i9000 to i9000m... frack.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
What did you flash? ICS??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sepharite:
From my stock Gingerbread, and just the CF. I needed ClockworkMod.

I can backup through CWM but it doesn't boot. I might as well do a full wipe. Unless someone has a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
It bootloops because you need to flash a kernel that's compatible with kg3.. just flash jvp with Odin like the guide says then flash the kernel you did.. then you should be able to flash Ics.. or cm7 or miui.. which ever you want
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sepharite:
Okay, did that. Now when I try to update with ICS (apply update with zip), it now gives me a bootloop. It loaded about 20% and then it crashed, and now it's looping.

I can go back to Download Mode, so I can go back but... dang, I must be doing something wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omnicronx:
I would attempt to flash everything again from the start as the guide states instead of doing it in pieces.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
Good idea... always follow guides 100%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sepharite:
True. I learn from my arrogance. ><

Did everything again, everything works except updating to ICS with the ZIP file. It seems to update for a few seconds, then boots, then goes to boot loop. I shows i9000, then Cyanogenmod + Samsung, then shows CWM loading something in the background. Then boots then repeats.

edit: Had to go to recovery and simply install the ZIP again.

Now it's booting... normally? Can't tell. Will report back.

Works, phew. Finally haha. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ohy1994:
Nice and detailed guide! Saved my phone from bricking
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omnicronx:
Chances are, if you have a i9000m that a different radio such as kc1 or kg3 is required, not just better.

Most operators of this phone (such as bell) use the 850 Band for HSPA, which lacks support in other i9000 radios. While your phone will still work at 1900Mhz, it will probably lower battery performance in many areas, and flat out won't work in certain places (such as in buildings) and where 1900mhz coverage is not as good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sepharite:
Hmm when I'm using data using the default modem that came with the rom, the battery dies quickly... Could that be because my i9000 isnot using kg3 modem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
Yup could be.. you should be using that modem anyway
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sepharite:
Oh okay. So I simply flash the .tar with Odin, or would installing the zip file work too via CWM?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
You have to flash through cwm.. cm7 radio
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sepharite:
Well I tried flashing with odin, with the tar...

Stuck on modem.bin... Didn't flash. Now it gives me the connection error. Damn, this just isn't for me lol

Any way to fix? I can access down load mode, not cwm. Maybe I'm using the wrong buttons...

edit: Just reflashed it. Might as well learn from my mistakes.

Hi Guys

I hope someone can help me with this issue.

Hello to everyone, I'm a new member on this forum. I didn't have too much knowledge about flashing phones and I wanted to flash my Galaxy S with ICS. After I bricked my phone... :D I could finally fixed it with a homemade usb jig and install a rooted 2.3.4

Well, I followed this tutorial a couple of times. The only problem that I found is the loop at the beginning. Which can be easily fixed repartitioning the internal SD with 1024 to ext, 0 swap and the rest for fat. But my problem is that when I installed ICS my phone lost the IMEI number. I mean, It was still there because when I flashed back to 2.3.4 the phone had the IMEI number intact. and I can make calls with no problems. But with ICS the phone tells me that fligh mode is ON adm it doesn't work neither if I switch it off. What means that /efs folder is ok.

BTW: I installed CM7 modem through CMW, but still the same problem.

Any advice? any help?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aaron_940:
This is true. I have been using it for a week or so on the default radio with the JVP firmware and CM7 installed. I definitely get significantly less battery life than stock, and when I'm in school I frequently have one or two bars or emergency calls only. I get full bars outside.

I'm going to try flashing the CM7 radio and see if it helps any.

[EDIT] Just installed CM7 KG3 radio linked to by OP. Will see how it works tomorrow, but so far seems better.

One thing though, for some reason, instead of saying VIRGIN for my carrier, it says 302610. Is there any way to fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taximus:
Thanks AllGamer! This willl help many I9000M users out there for sure! If only I could have had this short tutorial when I first updated my phone to CM7! And with samsung not updating sgs to 4.0, community already having nice builds and the relatively large sgs user base, I'm sure many will come looking for easy info to upgrade their I9000M

For some time I tought the M was a hint for : Makes you Mad...

@kafkafx: your problem would probably need a thread of it's own. However I could probably suggest three things:

1) Check to be sure you are using the right modem

2) Flashing back to stock then repeating flash to custom again. (By stock I mean going back to the firmware you originally had. KG3?)

3) Searching the forums and googling it... probably happened to someone before...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kafkafx:
@Taximus Thanks for your answer. I've got an UK i1900. I googled it as much as I could and everything I found were about damaged /efs folders. The mobile is working very good with gingerbread I900XXJVP rooted. In the last two days I learned a lot about rooting and flashing, but still not enough...

Any advice about what modem should I use? Sorry about the silly question, but I think that Modems are at the moment the most difficult part to understand for me. There is too much information but I can not see it clear yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
Use a the modem/radio that gives you the best reception... easy as that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kafkafx:
And what about the IMEI? Even if I use another modem I still dont have IMEI with ICS.

Ill try to install a Custom Rom when I get home and see if I have the same issue with a different one. Anyway I made a backup of the old nand and the /efs folder... so I can safely test different roms and modems and choose the best one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
If you don't have imei flash back to a stock rom then it should come back.. its strange that you lost your imei I have been flashing my sgs for over a year now and have never lost it once.

Flash from cm7

I have i9000m. But I'm currently on cm7 and boot screen I9000 so should i not just be a able to drop teamhacksung's ICS on my memory card and flash? No need to flash jvp stock Rom first?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
Yup do a backup and flash away!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
I wouldn't try... probably not a good idea
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it will work, but before you start, make sure you can find a radio for i9000T

as it might get changed in the process

so after you finish flashing everything, then you can flash back the correct radio for the i9000T
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Perka:

Thats.really good :-D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:

OK.. so I flashed teamhacksung's and all seemed good however when use titanium backup to re-install all my apps it says install complete but none of my apps are in the app drawer?? USB debugging is on and I also tried installing app with no data. Am I missing something lol?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
I don't know.. I don't use ICS yet because its still in alpha stage.. but I would imagine that its probably some sort of compatibility issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aub_pro:
OK so I just ended up flash back to my cm7 nandroid backup, backing all my apps up with astro and the flashing ics and restoring apps with astro :)

Worked good, anyone else have the same issue?

I followed these directions and got my phone running on CM7 with the KG3 modem just fine. Works much better than stock! I have one issue, however. My carrier, instead of saying VIRGIN like it does on stock I9000M KG3 firmware, says 302610. Is there any way to change it so it is correct?

I have a few things that bug me with that, first being that has anyone done this on linux with heimdall.

There's something I'm doing wrong or not getting. I didn't find any "512" in any labels of the files. But again there's plenty of links, probably I'm not figuring out correctly which is the one...

Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aaron_940:
If you clicked on and downloaded the JVP ROM in the first post, then you should have it. Make sure you unzip the file, and if I remember it correctly there should be 4 files once unzipped. Choose the one that ends in 512.pit.
