[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohitdahiya:
For a clean install and root, flash XXJVU ROM and its CF_root, as it is easy and problem free. I never had any problem with JVU

The whole procedure is given below

FLASHING JVU ROM WITH ODIN v1.85:

1. Install USB drivers for i9000 on PC (ignore if already installed) and restart computer to take effect

2. Turn off your phone/remove battery and put it in download mode

by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER

Do you get the Yellow Triangle?..If so

continue..if not do it again...

3. Open odin and after that Plug in Phone with USB Cable To Computer.

4. In ID:COM box it should go yellow and you should see

ADDED in the message box

5. Check Re-Partition option and then Click PIT

button to select: s1_odin_20100xxx.pit file.

6. Click PDA button and select :

CODE_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar

7. Click PHONE button and select:

MODEM_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar

8. Click CSC button and select:

GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar

9. When you have all the files needed in ODIN,

Click Start and let it Run

10. Once complete you will see S logo on phone

(computer will make a few noises like connect/

disconnecting

11. If Odin is stuck showing no change above yellow turned box for more than 2 minutes, close Odin and repeat steps 3 to 10.

12.Unplug the Cable from Phone

13. Run your phone and choose the language and the other startup options. Run until you get the home screen.

You will see your phone working excellent. Now it's time for rooting

Procedure for rooting:

1. Power Off Phone

2. Download CF-Root kernel first.

Unzip the file to a folder. You

will get the .tar file – CF-Root-

XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar

— inside the extracted folder. DO NOT extract

the .tar file (even if you see it as a zip

file, which it is not). You need to flash

the .tar file using Odin to gain root

access and install the ClockworkMod

Recovery (CWM) alongside. If you’re

getting zimage file, it means you’ve

extracted the .tar file too! — and that’s

not a right thing to do.

3. Boot your phone in Download Mode —

Press and hold volume down+HOME

+POWER keys together.

4. Open Odin now. Connect your phone to PC now. You’ll notice “Added! !” message in the Odin’s message box in the bottom left and the yellow box.

5. On Odin, click the PDA tab and select the .tar file you got in step 2 — CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-

CWM3RFS.tar

6. Make sure “Re-Partition” checkbox is not selected. Leave the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” checkboxes selected.

7. Click the Start button on Odin to flash the CF-Root kernel. After the CF Root is installed, phone will restart automatically. When you see the PASS written in top left box, you can remove the cable.

8. Your phone is rooted now. That surperuser app is there! The CWM app is also there, and

clockworkmod based recovery has

been installed too. Now you enter the custom ROM world without worries. Enjoy! :)

9. To install any custom ROM, first of all, download the ROM zip file and its g-apps zip file and put them on your internal sd card

10. Now go to recovery. You can go to the recovery by 3 buttons combo:

Turn off your phone/remove battery and put it in recovery mode by holding

VOLUME UP+MENU+POWER

11. You are in recovery now. Click on the "install zip from sd card" option and choose the ROM zip file you want to flash on your phone by navigating by volume up and down buttons and choose by using power button. Click on yes when prompted.

12. When you see "install from SD card complete", install the g-apps zip file.

13. When g-apps installation has been completed, Restart your phone and now enjoy!!! ;) ;)
