my i5800 - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys im a UK based gt-i5800 user currently using a custom rom and kernel.
im just wondering where can i locate the original 2.1 eclair kernel and rom from this fone.
i know it sounds crazy going back to eclair but i just wanna start from scratch.
can you guys please tell me what the UK rom and kernel were for oct 2010 please and also links to the specific files if possible.
i have tried searching through the website and even found roms on sammobile.com but they all confuse me. any help is much appreciated

it should be here somewhere
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I5800&r=1#regiona

thats where i was looking all i need to know is what kernel site has original kernel

All stock ROMs come with stock kernels. I believe the version you need is I5800XXJK1, because that is the latest XX version of eclair (I have also installed it once and the local product region in build.prop was GB). There is a tool on sammobile which will tell you does this version fits your smartphone, so first check out there.

here is the link for the stock kernels

i dont think in the above link has stock kernels/custom ones for ecliar

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.

New to rooting with this phone

I have rooted 3 phones prior to this one. I have it all set up and running Refuse 1.7. I have seen that there are a good load of roms available for the infuse 4g. Many of them say 2.3.5, etc. Is that the android version needed by the phone before installing the rom? I am on 2.2.1 and am worried about installing any other rom, than one which has froyo in the name leaving me with only 3 choices. Any help would be appreciated I want to try a miui rom or something else from here but am worried that since I have 2.2.1 when I install one that has 2.3 in its name I will brick.

No bro, the " 2.3.5" or "2.3.6" its that ROMs Android version, not the one needed to install it, still you do need a modified recovery to easily install a custom rom. I would personally recomend this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
as a good guide for new guys trying to install custom roms since the instructions are very detailed and hardly would give you trouble. After installing that rom you would have gathered the necessary knowledge to choose your next rom like MIUI or CM7 or another samsung Infuse rom or Samsung port to Infuse.

[Q] Best firmware for SGS

Hi,
I was using SGS I 9000 and with the official 2.3.3 DDJV6 version which is very very slow. After that i have tried so many leaked firmwares but unfortunately none of them works well for me..none of them are stable & bugfree.
Right now i am using DDJV9 with voodoo lagfix. This is also not running effeciently..phone gots very very hot upto 55C.
Kindly help me reviving my sgs experince. Please kindly also share the link also for the same.
Thanks alot in advance.
No roms not even OEM roms are free of bugs mate, try flashing some other custom roms until u find the one that suits ur needs.
I agree none of them is bug free. But Whichever leaked firmware i have used is not not even stable. I just want stable & fast firmware.
People kindly help.

No one will be able to tell you what will run well on your device with your set up. Try roms out till you rind one that works for you. Each device is different and so are the way we use them.
Try ROM Mintberry, link to post

Thanks..
Right now i am little confused. Till now i have only checked the different firmwares not tried any ROM.
Are firmware and ROM are 2 different things or same? Sorry if it is too basic..
Firmware and ROM are sort of intertwined. The firmware mostly relates to the underlying infrastructure that the ROM depends upon. Things like the kernel and radio. The ROM is the actual implementation of the OS. When you flash new firmware, you also get a new ROM along with it.
Some custom ROMs, such as Darky's ROM, are very closely related to the stock ROM, and have mostly performance and cosmetic changes. Other ROMs such as Mintberry MIUI and Onecosmic are quite significantly different from any of the stock ROMs.
They also depend on particular parts of the stock firmware. Onecosmic and MIUI both require gingerbread bootloaders to have been previously installed from a stock firmware package.
If you want my two cents on what to use, I am currently using Onecosmic RC2.11 (waiting for the phone to charge to full, then going to install RC3) and it is excellent. It is based on Ice Cream Sandwich, it runs quickly, and it looks beautiful.
There is a link to the XDA thread here.

Why does the ROM version I'm flashing over matter?

Hi,
I'm referring to, for instance, this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4i/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3212636 where it is advised to upgrade to a certain stock ROM before I flash the new ROM.
My impression was that the new ROM overwrites everything, so why would it matter what my old ROM version was?
Can someone please point me in the right direction before I mess around?
Thanks and kind regards,
Esuhi

Well, in newer versions of MIUI has newer kernel sources and device codes that isn't yet available to us... The only one available are the 5.6.11 versions of MIUI code, flashing a rom over newer MIUI versions is highly not recommended as it could lead to bootloops...
that makes complete sense, thanks!
Official web site doesn't seem to offer 5.6.11 anymore, however.
http://en.miui.com/download-263.html
Should I resort to images found on the forums?
Or should I go with a ROM that doesn't mention this issue?
omerjerk for instance doesn't discuss this for CM12.1 stable ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63031048&postcount=3
(OP had wrong link; here's an example of a ROM w/ this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4i/development/rom-resurrection-remix5-5-5-t3196222 )
You can find a mirror for miui 5.6.11 fastboot rom here:

[IMP] Please Suggest. Its Urgent

Thanks for opening this thread. The question i wanted to ask is which rom would be best for a good battery backup considering i want a touchwiz one.
Also suggest an aosp one if you can.
2nd problem-
I have flashed the latest firmware for j700f INS as i am currently in india, from sammobile using odin.
Still when i flash afterburner latest versions or use enigma v4.1's kernel (im on enigma 4.1 right now) ii dont get network signals.
After flashing enigma i have to flash afterburner v1.3 again to get back network signals. Some dev and people are saying because of old files in firmware, but mine is latest so why this issue??
Thanks again for opening and reading this. Please suggest .
Thanks & Regards
AyushJ
The ROM I'm currently using is A5 2017 port by Alloosh98 and I'm pretty satisfied with my phone's battery life. You could go for a Lollipop ROM if you want to.
