1. A ROM is the firmware, or Operating Sytem, of your phone. It's a package that contains the OS, drivers, programs and other odds and clods that make your phone work!
2. A baseband is a special package (kind of like a ROM) that controls the radios in your phone (cellular radio [phone part], bluetooth, WiFi etc.)
3. A build number is the version of the Operating System you are installing. Every manufacturer uses different naming systems for their builds, but usually the higher the letters/numbers, the newer the build. A new build will often contain a new baseband, and a new kernel. If you're lucky, you can sometimes even get a new OS version (as you did)!
Hope this helps!

pudding no root?
ok guys/girls I have been looking on here for a week and a half now but I flashed pudding and im unlocked as well but no root access obviously something i am not doing right. I thought pudding would give root but maybe not? I also have tried booting in recov. but then I can't find anything in there that says root or whatever.
I have the superuser app. dosent work as well as tita. says not rooted? It also says that a newer version is released and that it was put on my sd card but can't find it?
Any help is welcome or just point me to the right thread.
No dummie responses as they are a waste of your intellectual ability when you could have just used that energy to respond with help.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s i9000 noob asking

Hello xda forum! I am new and totally NOOB! I recently bought a galaxy s i9000 from a little research in the forum I decided that I have to root it because I am already having a lot of problems.. I am having now the original firmware from samsung(updated via kies) and I am in version 2.3.3 (basebend version I9000XXJVO and kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427 [email protected] #2 ...I have no idea what are those things!!! and build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVI) I want to root it on Ice cream sandwich! It look so cool and fast. but I have no idea how and which rom to choose because I saw 3-4 different in the forum.
So...
1. I want to learn how to root and what do I need.
2. I want your opinions on the ics roms (suggest me whats the best)
3. Is everyone have the same problem with the battery!?
4. If I done this and then I want to take the rom out is it possible?
I really thanks you for your time! and sorry if I created a same post..
more info about my phone (found them with a code):
GT-i9000HKDEUR
PDA I9000XWJVI
PHONE I9000 XXJVO
CSC I9000 XXJV9
Thanks again for everything!!!

1)To root your Galaxy S you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 quick and easy.
2) I personally have not used the ICS roms for SGS but this one seems to be the most stable one around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
3) Battery issues plagued me when I got my SGS as well, I would suggest getting something like Juice Defender off the market it can greatly help out battery life
4) Yes it is possible to go back to stock firmware all you need to do is flash back the stock firmware which you can find through Google.

1)to root my galaxy I used a modded kernel like cf root or semaphore which give you the root permissions and cwm
2)i never tried a ics rom because i'll try one of them when they will become stable, i don't like beta/alpha roms
3)battery isn't very very good...i can arrive till 8 pm normally, but if i start playing, wifi, music...in 4 hours battery is ko
4)yes if you want to take the rom out, you can flash a stock firmware/rom
hope it helps
then tell me how it has gone

thanks guys for your answers..I will think about doing it..and if I have any other question I will ask you...really thanks from your help

I use and still testing the stock ICS and i have to say that you MUST not install it in my experience so far in a week it have some issues. I am a noob too but learning, and this is a very versatil phone to use and manage. Meanwhile i sugest to upgrade to oldEr versions of GINGERBREAD

[Q] Totally Newbie Please new some help

Hello guys,
I am reading about flashing,rooting, installing cROMS, and so many things in this forum. Frankly speaking i am totally confused!
Currently I am using Stock rom of samsung , I am on 2.3.6 Gingerbread
Code:
PDA:I9003DDKP2
Phone: I9003DDKP4
CSC: I9003ODDKPH
earlier My phone was on Froyo, when I upgraded using KIES to 2.3.6 my phone has became smoother, but I don't know what is issue with battery life.
In 1 hour time span on GPRS+Display ON+surfing it drains like 10% + battery.
I tried battery calibration. I have never factory reset phone yet. I used an app called battery calibrator from market.
I drained my whole battery and recharged it to 100% .. and so on.. but still I am facing same issue.
I have root my galaxy SL i9003 using DoomLord's tool kit.
Actually now I want to try some other cROMs , Firmwares. Wherever I am having a look at any cROM thread I find pre-requisite as some other base ROMs.
Now can anybody tell me how do I install any other cROM compatible with the above build. I am really newbie when it comes to flashing and all. So please can anyone of you help me and let me understand what I should do to install some other ROM, and I am downloading GalaxySL DDKP2 stock rom, so if any problem occurs how do I reflash with original stock rom?
Some guidance is really appreciated.
I am totally
Please help me out

Try crom poseidon and uc kernel. You have to follow this. Xxkpe-xxkpq-uc kernel-poseidon rom. Battery calibration is a myth. Most mods now are based on xxkpq so I advice you to have an xxkpq based crom.
I am having 2+ days of battery life with uc kernel and poseidon.

Thanks for reply
@earldroid thank you for reply. Another thing i want to ask if I want to go back to original Stock ROM then how do I do it?

Displayturns on by itself... help!

Hi mate,
I've two 9003, with original rom and custom cm rom.
Both, every xx min. turns on by itself the display.
Is there any setting to try to eliminate this annoying problem? Is also a battery drain...
Thanks

Hey ,
Please specify all the details of your phone. Which kernel ? Which custom rom ?
Ideally this problem shouldnt happen if you are on a stock or a custom rom ( other than cyanogen mod or MIUI {some users face this issue on these roms} ). There is a workaround for this in case you are on AOSP or MIUI. There is a App which kills the light at a set interval ( but again it consumes battery . so no point in using it ).
In case you are on stock and facing this issue then i think you should visit your service center .

Baseband: I9003XXKB3
KERNEL: [email protected] #1
ROM: DarkGenMod v.3.1.1
Thanks...

Im not sure what might be causing the problem. Just a guesss. Have a look at the darkgen rom thread. See if any other users have faced the issue. The problem may be because of any scripts that you might have installed on top of the rom. Hopefully flashing the firmware again might resolve the problem.

hello. i have the same problem; after flashing my Galaxy I9003 with an official rom.
2.3.6
Baseband: I9003XXKPR
KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-CL826671 [email protected] #1
Thanks for help.

It maybe because of Applications which may want to gain some permissions or anything.
For the sake of trial, Just factory reset your phone once.
And, This will lead to erasing of all apps.
Even if bug prevails after the reset please revert back

Same problem here, screen turns on and do the same sound like when u plug the usb... For me the solution: re-flash and factory reset + wipe cache & dalvik cache, I don't now if its necessary but works to me.

Guys, I managed to find the cause of my problem:
GO LAUNCHER!!!!
There is a background service that try to connect to web!!!
I killed this... and... the screen not turn-on more!!
I hope that this will serve to someone else with my same problem!

[Q] shw m110s

good day to all..
im new with this phone..this one is a korean version of galaxy s1(shw m110s)
im confused with how to install custom roms here...
what do i need to download..a kernel or a custom rom?
thanks xda

Moved to General Q&A.

The kernel allows the ROM to communicate with the hardware specific to your device. All ROMs have a kernel build-in. If the custom ROM is designed fir your phone, it will work fine. If the ROM was intended for a device in the same family as yours, you can flash that ROM, then flash the kernel for your phone, & it'll work. If the ROM was designed for a completely different device, nothing will get it to work.
Remember to always do a nandroid backup before flashing stuff!!
