That's correct.

EDIT:

It'll be easier if you download and install SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498

I tried it myself on mac os x and the procedure is painless.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
yea i remember trying this and getting stuck when flashing a second time (when you have to have bootladers checked) the first time thru was ok, but (in what others are saying) flashing the second time is the important step... this was the main issue I was having about using Heimdall.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
we tried this.

the one click is programmed to re partition during the boot loader flash. He was encountering, what I found to be a know issue with heimdall and Mac 10.5 and up, where flashing fails during re partitioning. The first flash passes and the second for boot loaders fails. He needs the boot loaders without the repartition hence why I asked you if flashing bout loaders without repartitioning is a safe procedure :) therefore he needs to try your heimdall file to flash boot loaders without repartition and should be able to accomplish this without running a windows or Linux parallel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ok, theres 2 different kernals according to the links.

The one right above has theres 3:

Download Fully Back-To-Stock UVKJ6

Download KJ1 Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

Download SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

In a previous post (#33) FB gave a link to this:

fb_kj6_with_custom_kernel_heimdall

When I tried flashing via Heimdall, I don't think any of the kernels from the first post would flash via bootloaders.

Is the custom kernel different from the first three?

If so, can I flash thru Heimdall and have bootloaders install?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Note, those are not kernels but full ROMs (they have a kernel in them)

This is also a full ROM that comes with boot loaders. I'm not sure what kernel he has in it, though.

Note the one-clicks (the 3 ROMs at the top) have to be flashed twice if you want to get the boot loaders to flash. Check the instructions here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
right. this was the entire problem. I can't flash the second time..

Is there a way to do this with ODIN?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Why can't you flash the second time? Do you get errors? explain in details the steps you took to try to flash this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
Hey FB,

I'm gonna try the ODIN route..

So i'm trying to follow your ODIN directions.. and my phone will not reboot after step 4b.

I've loaded up ONLY the PIT and PDA files. (Sgs4g and pda.tar)

In the options window, re-partition, auto reboot and f.reset time are all checked.

After loading, i hit "Start" and ODIN says all are valid and all threads completed, but then theres no reboot.

Its just stuck in "Downloading..." mode.

Also: theres no text or anything in the white boxes at the top of the app.

When you plug a phone into download while parallels in running (this is all in a mac of course), you can pick which platform to go to. I've tried both and get the same issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Try doing a battery pull and going back to download mode then try to flash again using Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
did u start going bald? hehee sorry just with the title i couldnt resist that one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
lol.. totally. i'm now at skull level.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
well, i tried following ur directions to the letter..

try doing a battery pull at what point?

It just wont reboot after loading in the pit and pda files.. then hitting "start"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
Hey man.. so if you can let me know i'd be forever indebted... :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Try the SMS KJ6 one-click that bhundven has posted. He's got a thread in the dev section. Make sure you read the whole post before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
It's times like this...

Did you at least save it so you could donate to Locks of Love?? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ok,

firstly,

BIG thanks to bassmanjames.. he came thru in the clutch.

I think whats going on is a basic miscommunication btw osx and all things android.

i've gotten my phone to flash thru heimdall only after repairing disk permissions, a clean install of heimdall (after deleting the extensions) and flashing the kj6 kernal.

BUT WAIT!!!

theres more...

after downloading almost all of the recent roms, the only one that i can install successfully is the Valhalla ones. Every time I install ICINB or any of the ones by Raver, none of them work... I've followed their instructions to the T.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Cwm 3.x packages wont install within Cwm 5.x which kernel did you get?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
That's not correct. CWM 3.x packages CAN be installed in CWM 5.x. You're thinking of CWM 2.x packages. As long as they're using edify scripting they'll work fine (updater-script and updater-binary)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
So do any of y'all know how I can correctly install any of Raver's ROM's?

I tried to post on his thread, but after 144 pages, i don't know if i'd respond either..

I'd love to try the ICBINB or audiophile ones, but whenever i try to install it, it goes back to the default rom.

I just don't know why he'd skimp on the MOST important part of the thread (instead of saying something like "don't ask me how to install this, just do a search...") (which i've done, btw... its just a little tricky trying to find bits of actual useful info when theres so many damn pages).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I think you need to get to an understanding...

We have FROYO and we have GB. ICBINB or audiophile are FROYO ROMs and Raver's current ROMs are GB. It isn't a matter of flashing to go back and forth between FROYO and GB. It is more complicated than that.

Now... what ROM are you on now?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ah... ok ..

thanks man.. I'm on the rom that came with the SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.zip Folder

Its cool but a bit slow.. i'd like to try something a bit snappier.. also lost google search and can't seem to get it to work (i downloaded it from the market).

So can u recommend a good rom??

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Ravers Valhalla Black rc3.1 is what I have and think is fcking fantastic.

o Download and put the ROM on the root of your sdcard.

o Reboot into CWM Recovery.

o Select ‘wipe cache partition’ then ‘Yes – Wipe Cache’

o Go back to main CWM screen

o Then select ‘advanced’, then ‘Wipe Dalvik Cache’, then ‘Yes – Wipe Dalvik Cache’

o Go back to main CWM screen

o Select ‘wipe data/factory reset’ then ‘Yes – delete all user data’

o Check your mounts in mounts and storage – U=Unmount / M=Mount. For Valhalla Black Raver tells you UMMU.

So select 'mounts and storage' and make sure the first four lines look like -

- Unmount /cache

- Mount /data

- Mount /sdcard

- Unmount /system

o Go back to main CWM screen

o Then choose 'install zip from sdcard, then 'choose zip from sdcard, then go to bottom, find ROM you copied over, select install and wait.

o When finished you are back in CWM.

o Go Back to main screen, then Advanced and Fix Permissions.

o When finished you are back in CWM. Go Back and Reboot System and Wait!

o When phone is finished loading, wait another 10 minutes to allow time for the caches to build.

Disclaimer - This is how I recommend doing it. There is 1,001 other ways to do it.

funny because i actually did install this successfully.. but its too morbid for me..

EDIT: I have valhalla final on my phone right now.. and its.. ok. its a bit slow though.

I looked at simplysimple and i didn't touch it because people seemed to be having a few problems with it.

Whats a FAST rom that doesn't have too much going on, but is light and hip?

edit: thanks for the detailed post man!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I'm sorry... how in the hell is a ROM morbid?? That is one description I scratch my head to. That is the fastest ROM you will get.

And didn't you just say you have stock KJ6? And now Valhalla Final? I think you may be out of options... I am amazed at the speed of Raver's new ROM.

thomas.raines - "I'm using Lightning Zap with no issues. Brought the quad scrores (although not very meaningful) from 2100+ to 2600+ NOT Oc'd, improved FPS, and OC'd I finally hit a 3000+..."

Raver's ROM is bare to the bone for the most part. I think we need to educate you more on ROM vs Launcher maybe....

Are you aware of the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
well its morbid.. u know aesthetics are different for everyone. is valhalla final the same speed as the morbid one?

u know what? on second thought i'm gonna give the morbid one another shot..

yes whats the difference in launchers? how can I get this thing up to speed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The ROM is the software and the Launcher is the GUI (graphical user interface) you are calling 'morbid'. You can change the 'morbid' launcher to whatever you like. I use GoLauncher EX. It is very customizable to make.... less 'morbid'
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
ok.. see u learn something new errryday!!

so i just reinstalled it.

1. How can i change the applications to move left right instead of up/down?

2. Google search can't seem to lad for some reason... how can i fix this?

3. If I install GoLauncher, I can change the vibe/look of it?

thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
1) Change Launchers -- Go Launcher EX will do this.

2) Can't seem to 'lad' -- No idea what you are talking about

3) Read this -- http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/10/top-5-android-launchers-worth-trying.html and yes to your question. It is VERY customizable.

Go Launcher EX

Go Launcher EX Themes

Have fun... and if you want faster you may need to buy a space ship.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
sorry, i meant LOAD.

I can't seem to load google search, and I don't seem to have swype either. Its not in the input options.

(lol on the spaceship!)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Dl google search from market.

Raver took swype out. If you want it back I suggest swype beta. Google it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
thanks bro.. y'all rock!

ok. so heres something not necessarily android phone related:

I'm trying to download viz chrome, but all the apps are already installed (on previous roms), so i can't seem to get it to reinstall.. is there a workaround to this?

(btw, i can use golauncher to customize the look of my contact list as well?)

and is there a way to get rid of the amazon appstore in my application list? i used debloater but its still there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I use Go Dialer EX and use an ICS theme to customize dialer and contacts. I use Go SMS Pro to customize sms. I use System Toolbox to delete system apps like amazon app market.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
so i've been tweaking this phone.. and YES. the "morbid" ROM is def faster than the stock one..

But I'm getting serious issues with the phone. All my calls are getting dropped and it randomly mutes when i'm in speakerphone..

anyone else having these issues??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Do a favor and provide more info.

How can i save my apps and preferences (that i've had to download and restore like 8 times) so that the phone will be the same, just with a different OS?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Well you've got either a nand backup through CWM. Or Titanium Backup(by the pro version unless you wanna reinstall you're apps one by one).

With either one just make sure you don't restore system data. Only user apps and data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] umlaaat:
So the issues with dropped calls and not connecting to the net are getting consistently worse.

I think its something to do with the modem?

I don't remember it being this bad on stock OS.

Is there something I can do about this??

btw. I'm now using vb-fb-build-3.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
if you check out FB's link, those modems are also CWM flashable. You just need to grab the one(s) you want.

ok folks.. so after going thru hell and back several times, i've come to the conclusion that although I love the speed. I can't deal with applications freezing, random phone reboots and really really bad radio...

I've tried to replace and boot just the radio and its pretty much the same.

And although it was way slower stock, the phone did what it was supposed to, which is act like a damn phone....

How can I bring this back to the way it was before i stated frankensteining it?

ie, How can I make this stock/factory again?

No, it's not a CWM-flashable package - rather, you download it to your computer, put your phone in download mode, and hit the button. The full instructions are in the OP at that link, right under the first screenshot of the One-Click menu.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yes, as long as you have Java installed.

Once rooted, you are technically no longer stock. Stock = the way it comes from the factory. If you're asking about being rooted without installing a custom ROM, then yes. You would just need to use SuperOneClick to root the phone.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Skin1980:
This is a new device and the development is starting quickly. Many user that haven't the device is starting to develop some stuff for it also if they don't have the phone ( like me ).

Kernel testing can cause softbrick that can be easy fixed flashing again the stock kernel. The following steps explain how to do a backup of your current kernel so you can use it to restore your device.

It's a very simple guide.....

IMPORTANT You need to use adb ( also terminal emulator is good) and you need to be root!

su
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/boot.img
tar cvf /sdcard/kernel-backup.tar /sdcard/boot.img

IMPORTANT: Write the commands exactly like i wrote and put attention that in the second command. I wrote "BML7" not "BM17" but you have to write without capital letter so "bml7" OK?

After this you'll have a file called kernel-backup.tar in your SDcard. Save it and, in case of softbrick testing a new kernel, put your phone in download mode and flash it with odin (PDA field).

Wish this can help you...

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
this question keeps coming up every 10 minutes or so.

we have to discern those bona fide PDA-parts for ODIN, and single-file-KIES-archives. NANDROID backups come in the shape of single files, too.

as of now, ODIN cannot flash "single file archives" onto a SGY , such as "S5360XXKL3_S5360OXXKL1_RST_S5360XXKL3_HOME.tar.md5"

however, CWM 5.0.2.6 can indeed restore certain "single file archives" on an SGY.

So we need to confirm working combination for SGY = Samsung galaxy Y (GT-S5360):

which ROM archive ver. ?

which CWM restorer ver. ?

appearantly, Cranium, InFected and others can be written by CWM. But many "single file ROM archives" that u find on the internet, are useless with ODIN v1.84
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] sireangelus:
use stock rom dkj3. then upgrade it thorugh about the software>software upgrade till dkl2
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] GeekSpin:
i have the stock dkj3 but it has only .md5 file if i flash it can i upgrade to l2 or somthing
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
upgrading via KIES is not possible after using ODIN with a downloaded ROM. Kies will not recognize the SGY as upgradable. The user is stuck with ODIN based upgrades instead of KIES.

CheckFusDownloader_v2.1.exe will get those HOME.MD5 ROMs mostly, thats too bad.

it is usually impossible to do that in KIES. KIES only works with really pristine SGY phones only, unfortunately. some folks tried to reset the SGY to pristine state, though. seems, so far, little is known about that. e.g. to reset the counter, that counts each ROM flash. a USB jig may be used to debrick SGY and reset flashings counter. reseting the counter of flashings may require downgrading the bootloader, since that feature was removed in recent versions of Android, unfortunately.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
restore

result: system freeze unless you type below 4 lines incl. "cd /sdcard"

that is why I suggest the following:

take some stock ROM image and extract sbl.bin and param.lfs onto the /sd-card/ out of the pda file with an archiver. then

adb shell

su

cd /sdcard

dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=boot.img

tar cvf pda-odin.tar boot.img param.lfs sbl.bin

exit

exit

adb pull /sdcard/pda-odin.tar D:\

exit

In ODIN, supply totoro_0623.pit but DISABLE repartition.

In ODIN, supply D:\pda-odin.tar as PDA part.

this will succeed and you'll have a result as in the bottommost log.

other logs are instructive too.
