[Galaxy S I9000 General] reflux21:
The Easiest Guide on Earth for Flashing ROMs on to your SGS i9000

I dont really post all that much here, actually this is my first post :o but I love all the work everyone is doing here and wanted to be helpful in some way.

My contribution are in thousands in porn boards, so bear with me if I sound off topic or horny. :D

Here it is.

If you mess this up:

1. You probably need to stop jerking off and give it another try.

2. I am not responsible for any damages, even if it was my posts on other boards on which you were jerking off. :D

DISCLAIMER:

I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN ANY OF THIS. I HAVENT DEVELOPED ANY OF THIS, SO THANKS TO THOSE DRUNK HIGH PROGRAMMERS (LOVE Y'ALL). THROUGH THIS GUIDE ONE BLIND PERSON IS TRYING TO GUIDE MANY BLIND PEOPLE :D (BUT THIS SHOULD WORK) :)

I learnt this after bricking my phone. Thanks to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091 :D

Before you start, remember:

1. If the phone is doing something, dont interrupt, fiddle or turn it off - its rude. (oh and it will f*** you up big time)

2. Dont EVER EVER EVER open any zip / tar file unless this guide has told you to. If you do, delete that file and redownload it.

3. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step :D

Device:

SAMSUNG GALAXY S i9000 sold in ASIA (the tiny continent next to europe)

Running on JP6 Firmware, 2.2 Froyo STOCK - not rooted / modded.

ROM

The ROM used in this guide is by Darkyy (Amazing developer and architect, bad at making guides :D)

Its called "Darky's v8.0 Gingerbread Edition"

DOWNLOADS TO DO BEFORE STARTING:

Download the following files and keep em ready. Dont get confused reading all the names, its actually very simple.

FILES:

0. Z4 One click root setup file for your phone (Attached)

1. Samsung USB drivers (this is 32 bit one, google 64 bit)

**ttp:// drivers . softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86 . shtml

2. Darkyy's ROM (i.e. the main image file) - **ttp://www . multiupload . com/SHPR3TXLYB

3. ROM manager application for your phone (available in market)

STEPS:

0. Fire up your phone and go to Settings > Applications > "Unknown sources" must be checked / ON, if it isnt, turn it on. Then, scroll down in the same menu and go to Development > USB Debugging and make sure it is also checked / ON.

1. Extract on your PC and then copy the contents of "z4root.1.3.0.zip" to your phone and run it using a file manager ("Astro file manager" - install from Market / gay "My files" which is pre-installed on your phone by gay Samsung)

2. It will ask your permission to proceed with installation, press next and wait for it to say "Successfully installed". Then press "Close". Then go to the application and run it. It will give you two options - 1. Temporary root or 2. Permanent root. Select PERMANENT ROOT.

- now the phone will start to act funny and turn off without warning, reminding you of your wife. It will then restart and act a little more funny before starting up as normal again. -

3. Connect your phone to the PC, copy the ROM (which is the 200mb zip file) on the phone memory (not your external SD card). Also, install "Samsung USB drivers.exe" (Not needed if you have gay "Kies" already installed. :D )

4. Install "ROM Manager" from Market.

5. Now run the ROM manager and select first "Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery", it will be the first option from the top. Select "SAMSUNG GALAXY I9000" from the menu that follows. It will begin downloading a file.

- look for a download progress bar just below the notification bar at the top. If the download freezes for some reason, feel free to exit and re do the same process. -

6. In this same application there will be an option "Install ROM from SD card", select this option, it will show you your internal memory, now scroll down to the copied 200mb zip file and select it. Click yes / whatever to make it proceed.

- The phone will restart, go through some matrix command prompt ****e that will eventually start you up to a new animation, it will take around 5 mins for that animation to go away. Voila! - Your phone is running on Custom software! -

This guide will work for many ROMs you get off the interent, just dont be a **** - download only custom / original fw that is actually made for your phone (SGS i9000).

You will read a lot about OCLF / One click lag fix / Lag fixes - DO NOT INSTALL THEM. Darky's ROM comes preinstalled with it. To activate Lag Fix on your newly installed ROM, you will need to restart your phone in recovery mode, use the volume rocker keys to navigate to "VOODOO lag fix" after the phone restarts, and enable it from there. And then reboot using the same console. Then a creepy voice will tell you that your phone will self destruct in 2 mins, wait... wait... and done! After 4-5 mins the phone will boot up normally.

Another thing - If you brick your phone, follow this video
