Cant enter recovery mode

Hi there, first thank you for the guide.

I have follow the guide , but in step 18] i cant get my phone to enter in recovery mode.

Download mode works well.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Switch your phone off. To be sure it is really off, plug off charger or USB cable, pull out battery. Count to 10 seconds, then place battery back, and press Volume Up + Home + Power and hold till display lit with Samsung Logo. Then release all keys, and you should be in the recovery.

Overclock slows phone down!!

Hi V,

Just for your info:

I have installed the latest Fugmod all good, installed the ramhack, thanks for your help on your theme thread. Phone did seem faster. :-)

I also installed Tegrak overclocker as suggested above to see how quick I could get and overclocked to 1200MHz. The phone seemed slower so I did install Quadrant and tested to a score of 1130 which seemed low when running the comparison. I removed the overclock and re-tested and now get a score of 1760.

I'm very happy with my current speed, just wanted to put this info out there in case anyone has a similar experience or has an explanation.

Cheers

Andy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Have you tried 1152MHZ? Rock stable. And faster, really. Give it another try :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apollag:
Same problem with me while installing the ramhack.zip.

"error 6"

installation aborted
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
which ramhack are you using?

the zip in the previous post?

If you have package signature check on, disable it (you can do it from within CWM)

Try ZIP attached to this post. It is original Juwe's RAMHACK, which I have used in my theme. It is not renamed, so it may collide with some other scripts, but it is worth a try. This one has original signature, so even with your signature signature check on, it shall work.

Dear Virnik0,

Thanks a million for your great guide.. it helps me to regain my lost android market after a software crash.

However, after the flashing, i could not get into recovery mode (the screen will stuck at samsung galaxy start up wordings page). Moreover, it will show a distorted screen when i reboot the phone.

Would you be so kind to show me the method to save my phone from this?

Thank you so much.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Use Block 1 of the howto. It seems that your bootloader is missing recovery record. Otherwise your phone boots OK? Is only recovery missing? If so, you will have to start from the scratch, reflash froyo stock ROM with bootloader update ticked, then apply procedure in Block 1, and after that, you can proceed with Block 2. Ensuring that your recovery is working is part of the howto, and you have undergone high risk, flashing without this available.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apollag:
Done. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] edisonpotato:
Dear Virnik0,

Thank you for your soonest reply!

I think i found my problem, my case is exactly the same as this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011701) but i am not sure what to do now. If you would be so kind, could you please point me to the right direction like Jesus do? Thanks again!

PLEASE Help ! - Phone stuck at boot screen!

I followed the guide to upgrade my Galaxy I9000M to gingerbread and now i'm stuck on the Boot screen. The boot screen keeps on flashing and stays there forever. Pls help. :'(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Bootloader is missing in the JVH firmware. I've made misstake, that I've though that ppl reading this thread has moved from JVB firmware (previous version of this howto) which had bootloader.

Nevermind, your issue can be easily fixed. Use tar package attached to this post.

Switch your phone to the Download Mode.

Connect it to the PC.

Start Odin, and select XXJVB_SBL.tar as PDA.

Tick BootLoader Update, and NOTHING ELSE!

Then press Start.

You will not loose your data, because this will overwrite just and only bootloader.

After that, you will have to flash CF-ROOT again, then FuguMod, and so after that, you will be able to continue with flashing Darky's ROM and DeepBlue Theme

XXJVB_SBL.tar file is archive I've made just minute ago. I have extracted boot loader files from XXJVB firmware, in which it is included (don't worry, JVK, JVB, JVH, JVO, JV9 firmwares share the same boot loader), and made standalone bootloader file usable with Odin.

I will update first post with JVH firmware which has bootloader added. It will take few minutes, but since your problem should be fixed, others can wait few more minutes before they'll start flashing ;-)

please provide more info. What was your last step, at which bootloop happened?

What was the last thing you did?

EDIT: First post updated. Full JVH firmware now CAN DO bootloader update. Sorry for any inconveniences.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] edisonpotato:
oh dear man! YOU ARE THE MAN~!!!!

Everything solve and got my lovely android back~!

You save my bucks and time~!

Just allowed me to kiss you!

Trillion Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] joaofneto:
I think this explain the problem I had when I used first version of your procedure to JVH (I was in JPM Froyo and ticked bootloader...). When I flashed stock JVK from samfirmware everything worked (and recovery mode came back). I'll do June 10th version of your procedure... Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lemond:
Hi,what if i dont have SD card? and i just wanted to flash my froyo to 2.3.3 only without rooting it.

and one more,the "phone bootloader update" in odin,shall i tick or not?

tq for your help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Nope, that was something different. JVK firmware which was in the first post some month ago, had bootloader integrated.

Your problem was corrupted archive you have used for flashing. Simple wrong download.

Situation we have discussed few hours ago was about Gingerbread phone, with Froyo bootloader. Older Froyo bootloader is incompatible with Gingerbread, and vice versa.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gurwindersng:
i was stuck at the 8th step:

"08] Phone will reboot itself. Disconnect USB. Pull out battery, once it is booted, and place it back"

Had to revert back to 2.2 and it fixed the issue but I'm back to square one. Mine is a Bell Galaxy S I9000M and the current firmware version is 2.2 I9000UGKC1.

Won't Reboot after flashing step 29...

Spent all evening following all the steps... and got to step 29 with very little problems. Bought the fugomod app.

After flashing the kernal in step 29 and rebooting... it now reboots every 7 seconds and doesn't get past the samsung galaxy s with red fish. Won't go into recovery mode... don't know what to do.

Thanks for your help,

Paul
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
What exactly happened? Sometimes Odin Fails to flash correctly, and this is the result. Flash it again. Don't forget to update your bootloader, because you are on froyo.

Download bleeding edge Classic FuguMod Kernel, and flash it with SGS kernel flasher. This happens when fugumod binary is damaged during download. It is better to download it directly from your phone (use Dolphin HD for it).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kleinmeulman:
Thanks for your help,

I flashed this version (not sure if it is the right one) Fugumod_I5800_2.2_BE_OC1300.tar

with odin as my phone won't load at all.

Same problem, wont get past galaxy s boot screen (no red fish) doesn't reset just is stuck on the boot screen.

Any other hints?

Palu
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Yes, as I have told you, download bleeding edge fugumod zImage binary file, and overwrite file of the same name in the tar you have already downloaded. Then flash it with Odin. Have you updated your bootloader? Or start fresh with the howto, block 2 again, and then tell me where exactly things gone wrong. You are supplying me with insufficient info, so I can't decide what gone wrong and how to help you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedicz:
Sorry Mate, but still same problem...can't go into recovery mode...tried everithing (step 1 and continue with step 2) but on step 18 simple stuck...And Launcher and TWlauncher option still comming up after unlocking screen. Launcher giving app error and on TWLauncher phone will unlock normally.

Any advice?

Many thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kleinmeulman:
Reinstalled from start... All working but the eproductions Launcher always force closes.

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Sure. You have not updated your bootloader. Use tar I've posted two days ago here with odin. And download Go Launcher. Much more better, set it to default and be happy.

it's propably not optimized for Gingerbread. Try Go Launcher.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedicz:
All good!!!! Many thanks for your help and time spend on this...

I'm glad you've made it. What do you think about theme? Have you installed it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PokaF_ace:
i am back... :D

thanks for the nice job you are doing!

i installed the new version

but i don't know... somehow it feels more slowly than the old version.

thats why i used the old one (JVB) combined with the new darkys rom and fugumod.

this works up to now.

my only problem is, that the swype languages changed....

i am in brazil right now and need português.

with the old darkys rom i had this language... but now it's gone?!

is there a way to install this language or do i have to install the old darkys rom again?

thanks for help!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kleinmeulman:
Thank you for your advice.

Trying Go Launcher now.

Also I noticed that Layar is always force closing to... what would be causing that?

Thanks for your help.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Citydroid:
Dude that was easy,

I had a half brick (bad GB flash). Lucky I could still get to recovery/download.

Thanks again you saved the day. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Inagalaxyfaraway:
Hi, I tried the download mode and it works for my phone. How can I exit the download mode though? Power button does not work. Should I remove the batteries?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
português lang in the swype can be done easily. Just download firmware in which this language is, for example JVB, and copy over swype package with it's library. If you'll search this thread, you'll find out which libraries and which files you should copy over.

And for slow system - it depends on which launcher you are using. Go Launcher feels that way, but you can set speed of animations in the settings.

For the Lyar, have you tried to wipe it's cache and database? startup catlog, and try to catch errors produced with the Lyar during it's force close. It will help you diagnose your problem.

No problem pal, I am glad that I could be of help.

Just hold power button little bit longer, phone will reboot itself. Removing battery works too.

hi

hello virniko,

This is my 1st time flashing/rooting my I9000..ive been successfully done ur "how-to" guide..Im from Indonesia ( south east asia )..i was using DXJV9 which i got through kies..When i checked ur version it says XXJVO..I cant make phone calls n sms right now after using ur guide..Is it the PDA, PHONE , CSC problem? how can i solve this problem? is it just like the first step of ur guide and just change the file inserted to PDA, Phone, CSC?..

thank you for ur great guide and i hope u can answer my questions :P

Ive tried PM ing u but it seems PM is not working :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Only thing you need to do, is switching your modem (that funky PHONE file) to your country domain. Or download and extract PHONE file from your original firmware, and flash it via Odin. Send me personal message, if you are unsure what to do. I will be at the PC around midnight CET.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PokaF_ace:
hey

thanks for the answer.

I installed the new 2.3.4 and now I have the swype language back.

Another question..

What do you prefer?

FuguMod or Voodoo lagfix/kernel?

Which one should i install now?

Does the Darky's Rom work with Version 2.3.4?

(It's already rooted)

greetings

Hi!

My phone is currently PDA:I9000XWJVI PHONE:I9000XXJVO CSC:I9000DBTJV2...and i just upgraded it last week via Kies...can I just root my phone by using the CF Root file in your Forum? TIA!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Yes, you can.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Because I have flashed JVP 2.3.4 to my wife's phone, I can tell you that most reliable custom kernel for it is FuguMOD. I have made BLN package for it too (theme also, but it is pink/purple). But do not try JFS conversion undel JvP. It works bad, with data corruption/loss with JFS filesystem. So stay with ext4 under JVP.

For the darky's rom - no, it does not support JVp yet. But you can use Doc's ROM kitchen www site, to generate deodexed JvP ROM, and then Bezke's Theme for it. Works the same way like Darky's ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedicz:
Of course! It's like new phone (it's not old, but...)...bateery life - excelent! Look and feel - 10+...speed...10++...I selected flying stars as a live wallpaper and...he,he...just to see faces of Iphone users...

Many thanks mate!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
No problem. But to make your phone even faster, download and install Autostarts app from the market (red car icon) and disable all apps you are not using daily in every system call/section it is in. For example, disabling Email app will prevent it starting upon reboot, which will speed up whole phone significantly. I have more then 170MB RAM free now, and I do not suffer any lags at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] h-tomek:
Hi.

I have come to step where I need to install fuguApp. The problem is that I'm from Croatia and we still don't have access to paid applications on Android market. Is there any other known way for getting full app? Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Use market enabler or similiar app, to download it. If it does not work, then please send me message, I will try to assist you with this one.

how to do UI changes?

First of all - great instruction and Rom! for the last 2 weeks my SGS gone crazy. I actually tried to install more then 10 different roms. but this is the only one that works great!

several questions:

1. can i change the blue UI to the default one?

2. can i change the default icon of contacts? or other icons?

and another one:

If i got the paid FuguApp, how can i save it or use it another time if i reset my phone and delete all my apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
1. You can reflash Theme itself with different one, or if you want to have stock one, then you will have to use some deodexed stock rom based on the same framework. Even without installing DeepBlue Theme, you will end-up with default Darky's ROM theme, which is also different from stock one.

2. Default app icon can be changed by decompressing apk package, and changing app icon found there. Try to search this forums (XDA), it has been discussed previously.

3. It is not recommended or needed. Every paid app will be available to download to you for free anytime you'll need it with any other phone in which you'll setup your google account. But if you'd still like to have it's backup, then you can simply copy over app's apk archive (use Root Explorer for it), or use some backup app, for example Titanium Backup. Both methods requires you to have root (this ROM do contain root permissions).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yairman:
1. thanks! i will check it in the theme forum.

2. do you mean the thread of APK Edit V0.4e?

3. I guess it basic but i didn't know that. thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
1. no problem, but make sure that theme you want to install is specifically made for the same framework version (JVH firmware), more likely for Darky's ROM in this case (because Darky's ROM has it's specific properties)

2. No, you do not need to decompile and then recompile apk package. It is enough for you, to copy such apk from your phone to your PC (use Root Explorer to get APK from it's location in the phone and place it on your SD Card, then you can simply copy it to your PC), and open it with WinRAR for example. Then search pictures in it, and you will find your icon. Then it is easy to change it. After change, just place/overwrite it in the archive, and place this modified APK back to your phone.

3. Yes, it is basic to Android. Every single paid app you have purchased is available to you any time you need it in the market for free (because you have already paid for it).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yairman:
thanks for your detailed answer!

1. But some apps are not easy to find (mostly the ones that are pre-install in this rom) even with Root Explorer. For example, i can't find the "contacts" app to change its icon. i can see it usibg setting>manage application>all but i can't find it, nor move it. is it possible?

2. It a long shot, but worth to try :) Do you know an easy way to change this Rom to be more friendly to RTL languages? especially in Gmail and SMS

thanks for your time and help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Contacts are in /system/app

What are RTL languages?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yairman:
RTL=right to left
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Ah so....well, this is european firmware. Nobody is using RTL in the central europe...so if you want or need RTL support, then download and flash firmware which is supposed for your country.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Galaxy_NS:
AMAZING

Simply ... you are amazing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djmichaelb:
Virnik0,

I think you misunderstood... I am not annoyed or angry with you in the slightest. i really am appreciative for you putting together this mod for everyone. I thought my issues with installing might not be unique but 94 pages of comments is a lot to scan through and not being a seasoned XDA user (Noob) it appears the search tool only reveals threads, not comments, but I am sure this is me being stupid again.

I will install the log app and follow your recommendations posting log files if there are issues.

I'm not asking you for a new phone or anything other than some advice... I understood from the very beginning that this process was tricky particularly for someone not a developer, and I am simply trying to find a way to revert the phone or get Gingerbread running fairly smoothly.

The issues with the current setup on my phone mostly now is that everytime the screen goes into screenlock, either by pressing power button or just letting it go into screenlock from timeout, it restarts the phone.

Thanks for taking the time to reply... again, I am not saying anything bad about you or expecting anything extraordinary from you... I will search this thread in more detail before posting in future.

Cheers,

Mike.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:

Hey Virnik0,

once again a great job. Funny enough every time i reboot or restart my phone it "forgets" the locale and goes back to english :o Any idea on that "problem" :)

Timiboy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Sure, you'll have to add locale statement to the default.prop file. It's known issue with jfs filesystem. Search few posts back, I have posted already info how to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] timiboy:
You mean that one:

Edit /system/default.prop with root explorer and add this:

ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung
persist.sys.timezone=Europe/Prague
persist.sys.language=cs
persist.sys.country=CZ

what are the standarts for Vienna/Austria then de or DE

timiboy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Europe/Vienna

de

AU
[Galaxy S I9000 General] timiboy:
Hey Virnik0,

I discovered a funny Problem :( When I connect my SGS to the PC I can not acces the card and internal memory via USB!? I do get all the messages from usb debugging but no message whatsoever on the PC!?

Any idea??

Timiboy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Sure, there are two ways how to manage this. This problem arises with Fugumod Ultra mostly.

You can:

1) add "debug" empty file to /sdcard/fugumod

OR (and better)

2 ) add this to /system/build.prop file with root explorer:

# Samsung USB default mode
persist.service.usb.setting=1
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] timiboy:

I will check and confirm :)

questions

Hi

Graet Rom - i'm very happy with it

I do have several questions:

1. I've noticed that the back and menu buttons are lighted when there are notifications. Is there a way to disable this option?

2. I've noticed that sometimes the response is a bit slow., sometimes up to 3-4 sec when pressing a button/app. Not critical, but can be annoying. Is there a way to improve it?

3. Weird thing:I got in Quadrant a 1500-1600, but after i overclocked my SGS to 1.1Ghz it dropped to 900. Any ideas why?

Thanks...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
1) It's BackLightNotification, BLN for short. It's important improvement, which is often required by most of the users. But if you dislike it, download BLN app from Neldar from Market, and disable it completely.

2) it depends on which launcher are you using. It has been fixed by latest version of BLN app and latest fugumod kernel. If you are using JFS, then it is pretty common. Convert to ext4 and update to latest Fugumod kernel, and your micro-lags will disappear. And do not trust Quadrant. On ext4, your score will decrease (~1000), but the phone will feel faster.

3) As said before, Quadrant is also nick-named "Random Number generator"

Problem is, that it measures mostly filesystem write I/O, and completelly ignores GPU of our phone. 3D tests you see in Quadrant is computed through CPU, so GPU power is left unused. It even does not count cache transactions, so it is another score you will not see in the results screen at the end of the tests. Useless app for SGS. Try Linpack, and compare your score then.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yairman:
1. Thanks.

2. i'm using the default TouchWiz.

in step 30 you wrote that "select reiserfs for /system, and jfs for everything else", not to ext4.

And how should i update to latest Fugumod kernel? Is there a steps for it?

3. Good to know - thanks for the explanations. I don't know why but i can't use Tegrak. Is there another recommended app for it? By the way, my current score in linpack is ~15. not very high, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
In the time of writing this howto, I was unaware of JFS micro-lags, which start showing up once you'll have more apps installed.

Fugumod Kernel can be downloaded from it's default repository, search xda for fugumod in sgs devel section. It can be flashed directly from your phone, use Neldar's SGS kernel flasher.

Tegrak works fine for JVB, but it seems that it do have issues under JVH and JVP. You'll have to wait for it's author to update it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yairman:
Thanks,

I think i already have the latest FuguMod Kernel since your great Howto was updated at 10.6, and because i couldn't find a newer SGS FuguMod version.

So i will just change all to Ext4 and will check fit or a couple of day. i will update later.

About Tegrak: what a bummer... so i'll wait.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
What build of Fugumod you have? See kernel ifo in the "About" menu item in the Settings. To speed things up even more, try to switch over to deadline scheduler and once tegrak work for you again, OC to 1200MHz.
