Conversion will not start automatically only in one of theese cases:

a) you are already running on ext4 filesystem. This can happen if you haven't ticked re-partition in the odin before flash, and had lagfixed phone previously

b) There was Voodoo folder on internal SD card, which means you had lafixed phone before. Internal SD card is not formated during flash, so previous files may deny voodoo filesystem conversion

Try to format it from recovery.

Hey Wolfiuscub, I sent you a Private Message.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Weedalot:
using some update.zip file i reverted to ex2 and managed to formate system data and couple other directories but i got voodoo in root that wont go away.. tried deleting it with root but it always pops back.. and formating it just doesnt do it...

could you list me your root folders directories? so i will see what i've got and what is "extra" or missing.

this is what i get when i do the voodoo (last in order) it just boots it up as usual and does not start conversion.. i've done the conversion using speed mod so i know how it should look like but voodoo just wont do it. (i used some update.zip) to get back to ex2.. but i formated and repartitioned couple times since.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
OK, if Voodoo is there, then you have Lagfix active. Look in the Voodoo folder, is there "disable-lagfix" file? If not, then you have converted filesystem, and voodoo is active. Also, your recovery should be red. If so, then you are running voodoo lagfix already

This is ok, this means that flash of voodoo went OK. If it does not convert, then you are already on EXT4 filesystem (or ext2, which can be handled by ext4 driver too).

What is output of df command? Download and install Terminal Emulator and run command df

It shall tell you on which filesystem are you running.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
no problem, I am glad that you've found it helping.

i've managed to flash it using this link... work fine as far as i know

the bootloader is white but i think it suppose to be this way.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Opposite2:
Thank you virnik0 for a great guide.

Last edit: I have managed to install everything so far figuring things along the way with a single exception. The darky RC4 ROM that gave me an error at line 6. Third time, I've installed it after the Deep_Blue_Theme and it worked. Now I'm curious if Orange Romania supports 2.3.3 firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
They don't have to. 3g and GSM works, Orange is usinh the same frequency like the rest of the europe, so I see no problem with that. Only thing you'll have to do, is configuring your APN for Internet and MMS, nothing less.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Opposite2:
It was a freacky day yesterday as I was bored early morning at work and I thought I'd try this root thing a thread was mentioning on some other forum. I didn't know nothing about it than, except that it removes bloatware. In the end, after 12 hours of messing frantically with the phone I have had installed three roms, rooted it, had the brick screen once, figured how to use Odin and learned why to hate Kies.

Today I'll finish installing darky and adding the voodoo lagfix with rom manager. Anything I should be aware of? I got scared when I saw that I had no internet data and all my apps crashed left and right on Froyo so I thought that orange didn't support 2.2 and above. Fixed that eventually and now I'm laughing about it.

looking for some information...

Hi guys looking for some information about ROM files. I just got my SGS and want to update to official 2.3.3 (JVB). I got some questions if anybody help me to find the answers.

1- my product code is CPW and the CSC file used in this HOWTO is using CSC_OXAJVK which seems to me something with product code OXA. What is OXA?

2- will this update change my product code because of this CSC file?

3- If I don't want to change my product code can flash this ROM without selecting CSC file?

4-If my product code changes how it will affect my phone?

5- If I don't want to stick Stock 2.3.3 with my phone rooted and kernel hack, can I stop at step 20?

Thx

EDIT: 5- If I want to stick with Stock 2.3.3 with my phone rooted and kernel hack, can I stop at step 20?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Weedalot:
OXA is short representation of the cellular company that provides service.

This update will. it will override your CSC folder

Not sure if it won't change it anyways. The CSC folder is inside the system folder... So it will probably be wiped on flash.

You will lose your APN (access point name) and will have to enter it manually (not hard but not needed... Will explain at the end of the post)

Yes. You do not have to keep going. once you have a firmware running you don't have to root it or do anything with it.

What you should do is first check if you got the three key download mod (most important) than root your device than backup the efl folder (most important folder on your phone...and unique to your phone. As it holds your IMEI.

Than backup your CSC folder so you can later paste it in the right spot. Once you've restored your csc folder you will have to choose your product ID but not as shown in this tutorial... You will type into your dialer *#272#[your IMEI]* or something very similar... If I was wrong with the code just search the forum csc change (you'll find it in a second)

You are welcome ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Weedalot:
Induction copied from bloodrider :

copy it to /system/csc.*

[*]After, check your IMEI with this code on the dialer, *#06#, and save it as you'll need.

[*]Then, type on the dialer, *#272*???????????????# (??????????????? it's your IMEI, it must have 15 digits), after you can chose your CSC, then it'll reboot (it may take some time, you'll see bootloader applying the changes)

So I did mix up the code a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dannygor:
Sorry if im being a noob...i followed everything in the tutorial and it was all going fine till i tried installing the theme and it keeps rebooting now. anyway to get the theme to work or stop it from rebooting?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dannygor:
ok i reflashed it from the beginning again and avoided installing the deepblue theme for now. are others having problems with the theme? i really want to use it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
More likely, yes. Theme is broken, somehow. I am not sure why, because in my case, it worked nice, my wife is using this theme too. But my colleague from work has ran into similiar problem like you. So, Ignore Theme for now. I will have to fix it first.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dannygor:
thanks for the reply! i actually managed to get it working but i encountered another problem! i now have no network coverage so i cannot make any calls or send/receive texts. i can only make emergency calls but i am able to connect to the internet with my phone without wifi which is strange.

ive checked my service state and it says"out of service". is there anyway to fix this? im not sure what ive done =(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Where are you from? This is European firmware, your GSM provider may have to use different network settings. If so, you will have to flash it again, this time with different CSC.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XDcallum:
Will this work on an orange branded device in the uk? If so do I just follow block 2 instructions if i can get into the 3 button download mode?

(Maybe) a warning

Hi! I just managed to install successfully the 2.3.3 ROM from the links on the first page. Gb is working good, but today I started my Mobile and it suddendly sent Spam-Messages to all my Google-Mail-Contacts. Obviously via a Czech IP:

Mobil	Deutschland (92.225.xxx.xxx)	21:22 (vor 33 Minuten)

Curious, ain't it? Anybody else got such behaviour lately?

darkys rom not installing?

hi

i've tried to follow the instructions on the 1st page to load darkys rom onto my galaxy s, but having the following problems

i successfully install gingerbread onto the phone and the copy the 2 darky's rom files onto the internal hard drive ( not in any folder) as well as the deep blue theme file too. after i enter recovery mode (the text is in red) and follow instructions for the first file(RC3) during the ending part of the install the screen changes and displays some words not clearly understandable (10/15 seconds) and then back to the load screen where a success message is given.

now the recovery mode shows the title darky recovery core and the same happens when installing RC4. after this is done the problem i have is that the phone starts up till the screen displaying the S and nothing further sometimes it goes back to the animation screenand then stuck again.

what am i doing wrong do i have to install each file into a certain folder 1st? or reboot phone after each file installation?

im very new to this so please give detailed help.

thnx in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Yes, it will work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Very strange. Check if you accidentely haven't installed some spam app. It does not send anything on its own in my case.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Flash RC3 first, then reboot, let it boot for the first time with Darky's RC3, then install RC4. Strange chars during flash os normal, and grey CWM too. Skip theme install. In some cases, it refuses to work for some users, and ends up in reboot cycle.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Yes. Situation [Ramad] warned before. But do not worry. Use actual registry hack in the first post. It has been updated, problem fixed. You will just use Kies once more time.

It is easy enough for you to follow. Next, you can continue with Block 2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SamuraiHQ:
I've uploaded the files to my personal Dropbox if you want to mirror the link.

Unfortunately it contains the same readme (which you've mentioned has changed somewhat between when I first downloaded it, and now).

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13249642/Galaxy S 9000i.rar
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
nevermind. I will post it in the mirror section in the first post. thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BalloonaticFanatic:
Damn. I really missed the ball with this one. Had I only waited about 1/2 hours until after you'd updated the post I would have saved myself the trouble of doing it wrong this morning :D Such is life.

I've done the new reg edits and it's downloading the firmware now. It looked like complete new firmware to the last one I downloaded this morning? Different number though I don't actually remember it now that the upgrade box is downloading. I'm upgrading from JM1 so even if I don't do block 2, am I going to benefit just by changing this firmware? :cool:

Emily x
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
No, you will not benefit from it, because it will be stock firmware for Bell. Except for Download Mode, it is useless (from my point of view). Yes, you can use it if you wish, but why? Froyo is almost begind the door for you. Just another two steps, and then rootkiting...modding power consumption, and you are done. As I said before, I am 100% sure it is worth it. So do not let yourself down, hold on with good mood, and continue. You will be well satisfied, I can promise.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BalloonaticFanatic:
I'm incredibly nervous that I wont get through block 2 without a hitch. Especially since I don't have recovery mode and I'm a n00b to all of this, and odin makes me a little nervous.

[if] I don't make it through block two, how will I get back to JM1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SamuraiHQ:
Virnik0 - If you like, I can create a new Readme, and include it with the package I have on my system and re-upload it for you - it's no trouble. Once I've done this I'll send you the new link, and Readme.

I think the majority of users will probably still use the guide on here while they're upgrading their phone - I know I did.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
1) If you'll use updated regedit tweak and Kies, You will have recovery and download mode enabled.

2) then you can go through JPK update.

3) at the end of JPK update, after restart, you can run into first glitch, which will let you know about itself by error message in text console (recovery menu)

Do not panic, it is just another moment you will have to go through. Just use volume up/down to move in the menu, select factory reset, then select sdcard format, and cache wipe.

Phone shall reboot normally after this.

4) continue in download mode again, this time with JPM itself.

Now you are prepared for rootkit, OCLF and other cosmetics, because you will already have Froyo 2.2

Do not fear. I am still at the computer, so I can assist you if something goes wrong.

To second question: you can get back to your stock firmware by simply reverting registry changes, and reflashing with Kies. But I do not think you'll do it...because Froyo will charm you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BalloonaticFanatic:
You're incredibly reassuring so thats a relief! I have been mulling for a while now since 2.2 was released in Norway to do it myself and I'm glad I'm doing it now because I'm sick of waiting. And your guide is very n00b-friendly though you might in the future want to consider doing a video of the whole thing to guide other users! Or even better, do exactly the same and make an incredibly tempting and begginer-friendly guide when 3.0 is released...!

It's going to take me a while to download the 1GB file so I might have to do it later today after I do this JM upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
That will be very pleasing. Can you please do it for me?

How is your phone working? I suppose everything is ok for you. Did you installed OCLF and SetCPU? What do you think about battery lifetime now?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
To say true, first time I have been flashing my SGS, I was feared to the death... ;-)

Even now, for example at yesterday, when I was flashing my colleague's phone, i was little bit nervous, namely when we run to the internal storage glitch... but as I said already, it took me one minute (maybe 30s) to run sdcard wipe (which simply reformat it), sdcard wipe (to be asured it is clean) and then factory reset. Then phone simply rebooted, and welcomed us with greetings guide to setup.

Then I had to remove baterry (do not **** yourself with it, you do not need to setup anything in this state, because we will flash JPM over JPK now), booted into the recovery mode, and flashed again. Strange point was, that my colleague's phone booted in german environment...strange, mine booted to english, my friend's to italian...but it is not important. Once it is booted, you will have to set your language in the settings, and you are done. At least for a while, because now you have to reflash rootkit, then OCLF (which takes 10 minutes at least), and now you can start playing with the settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SamuraiHQ:
Out of interest, where are you from? Some of the file hosts are quicker than others, and I just posted a new link (DropBox) which should be quite fast - I was getting around 2MB/s downloading when I tried it out.

No problem. I have all the time today to do this, so it will be done soon.

I haven't had any problems so far, aside from the Market issue that's been on and off - but we all know that's because of Google's servers or something.

I haven't installed OCLF and SetCPU... yet! But I will do today I promise! :D Battery life seems slightly better but I've been using it quite a lot since yesterday (phone calls, apps etc...) and it's still on half battery after at least 18 hours usage which is better than what i would of had before, I'm sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SamuraiHQ:
You mean 'wipe the cache' right? :D :p

I hope you had some sleep. Froyo must be keeping you entertained all night! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BalloonaticFanatic:
I'm in Wales, I'm on crappy AOL and get like 1mbps speed! :(

Good news though... the firmware upgraded! Just gonna download the big file now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SamuraiHQ:
Ahhh, well if it helps, the link to the file on DropBox should max out your connection ;) Just be sure you don't use up any usage allowance you may have. I don't know what AOL is like these days. I used them once upon a time about 10 years ago.

Good news on the firmware upgrade. Once it's over with and you're running 2.2, you'll wonder why you ever waited so long.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
another right placed correction of what i wrote. yes, you are right, sorry for that misstake

And for sleep time - well, it was real rush this week. I was preparing new routerstation running OpenWRT (linux distribution for minimalist router devices - just wireless router for our community network CZFree.Net), which took me half of the night. Then I have realized that I made OSPFd configuration wrong, so I had to fix it while it was actually running on my friend's roof...

Second to that, next day, we had heavy rain here, and because my friend is piece of asshole and forgot to insulate coax wiring to the antenna, we had to replace its coax cable...

So...yeah, I had rush weekend. Count another two flashes of SGS for my friends, and you got the picture. Worst to it, my gf got bored to death, so I had to invest some time to her too. I am only glad that it had ended. Next week, I will be playing lazy guy in front of TV, drinking beer, and enjoying free time...for the first time this month.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
+1 to it. I really like it in conjunction with Launcher Pro and its expose function. I am using it on my linux destop, so I was amazed that some smart programmer implemented it for phones running android.

Launcher Pro ****s TouchWiz to the background of hell. compared to Launcher Pro, Touch Wiz looks ugly and lame. not to mention its speed ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BalloonaticFanatic:
No I prob wont max out the usage for it so long as I steer clear of the iplayer and TVshack for the next few days! Next bill date is in a few days anyway so download usage will be "replenished". I should probably find out how much the usage is is but I have a few months left on AOL and I might just go with Sky broadband next since it's free. At least they have unlimited downloading and I'm not interested in speed overally since I can only get around 2mbps max on my line. Sad times!

Downloading the file now. Will take about 2 hours maybe a bit less when I turn spotify off which streams. Might go get some sleep since I spent half the night doing a firmware update that was redundant ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
sorry for that fuzzy night pal... but if I can please you with something, I hope new Froyo will do it for you. Just let us know once you'll finished, or in any case of problem.

Australian I-9000

Amazing How-to, thank you! Sorry, I am a newbie and not sure about what to do so... I am here asking you :)

I upgraded my Australian I9000 to JPM last week, through the trick with KIES I read in another thread, but there's something wrong... apart from the nordic languages in which I am not interested (I would prefer south-european ones, especially Italian), the browser randomly does not load images from websites (but this happens just with a few websites), and the wi-fi connection seems to disconnect quite often.

I wonder if you could suggest me what I should do to update it in a way that would not have those problems. Thank you in anticipation for your replies, guys! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
You'll have something to look forward to :-) Once I'll get released from hospital, I'll test CyanoGen Mod 2.3.4, and soon after, I will post howto for it. Can't promise anything, but I am really willing to try it. So far, I am little bit confused with Voodoo kernel bugs, with Fugumod bugs, and with missing features like BLN, boot animation, tun, cifs, and such. So do not settle too much with 2.3.3 and Darky's ROM, because if I'll succeed, you will be given great opportunity to have latest, most stable and best working ROM ever.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nazrazr:
silly question

i rooted my phone and flashed 2.2.1 onto my phone according to your step by step instruction a couple months ago..yesterday somehow i mees up my phone (the TW Launcher force close) and flash again the 2.2.1. Is my phone is still rooted or i need to root my phone again because i cant find the superuser app after i flashed the 2.2.1 again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] timiboy:
Gingerbread flash

Just finished the whole procedure.

Worked like charme - the theme as well!

After flash my You Tube app was not working so I uninstalled it and reinstalled from Market again - after that it works fine!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Opposite2:
Back to 0. My phone failed to mount my sdcard this morning and I can't install anything beyond root.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Yes, you must flash cf-root after rom flash, then flash voodoo. Forget it. Reflash whole phone according this updated howto, and be happy :-)

Tip: install go Launcher from Market. You will be excited.
