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

Hello... I am a new ( noob ) in THE XDA forum. So if I do a things that I'm not supposed to do, told it to me. ( I speak french so I will do my best I can )
Now the real things:
- I flash my GT-S5830"D" to cyanogen 7,1 ; 9, official, unofficial... What ever, with no * succes. (I dont now if the "D" is important)
The wifi always crash ( need to close and re-open it ), my ACE wont receive SMS or share it "sometimes" and the DEL brightness always change ( the screen become black and after it come like normal )
- I'm with Koodo ( TELUS ). I think that Koodo are the problem, because they make our Android OS and bla bla.
- If you cant help me for CyanogenMod, try to restore of my first OS.
-->I backup it with CWM 5, but it wont install it correctly. ( boot logo stay on the "Galaxy ACE bla bla..." )
Very big thanks.
P.S. if you help me and it work, I will work to help programing Galaxy ACE! I promise.
try restoring it via CWM recovery.. if no success try flashing via odin.. hope it helped

Thanks for the anwser... I flash my Galaxy with Odin, but the same problem start! I take an official firmware of a galaxy Ace 2.3.4, so I don't understand why!?
CWM... The first time I install CWM I do a backup. But when I was trying to flash cyanogenmod I do a bad thing and I restore with no problem... Now the phone ( when I try to restore ) do a boot loop ( I think ) on the Galaxy Ace... But I can restore cyanogenmod!
So help me please
P.S. I thanks you for who responding.
Have you tried flashing using ODIN using the full package method?

Yes I've try full or not with Odin and the firmwares install with no problem. It is when I open the phone problem start. I can rarely share a SMS or receive.
So I'm relly thinking that a need a special Koodo firmware or a developper who can create me a special firmware.
Okay,
First thing, CM7 will work with your Ace.
Second thing, you cannot use CWM to restore a backup of a stock ROM.
Third thing, check your APN settings. You are going to need to manually create a Sp.koodo.com APN with all the settings detailed inside.
Did you have any problems flashing?

Hi,

( a guy of Koodo told to me that the installing, unstalling, installing,... broke the motherboard. Does it's real? )
thanks guys

Yes you cannot flash your stock ROM with CWM, flash it with odin instead.
About installing-uninstalling thing nope it will not break your motherboard and it has nothing to do with it
Just flash a different ROM via CWM 4 or 5. My favorite is the Myth, it's based on stock with a couple of nice performance mods. It works great on the Ace.
PS. Don't listen to Koodo, they don't know what they are talking about...

XD Koodo... So I flash The ROM you told and it seem to work... But today I reflash it because again it was laging. But I think it is a Koodo service problem. Thanks... If you have other firmware better than TheMyth, I will try it.

You may try flasing tj_droid Stocklite v6.. based on the latest firmware DDKQ8, Pure stock bareboned + Scripts - will definitely makes your phone smooth..
Try a new one
Well if u do wanna switch to cyananogen then why are u trying CM7.1??
Go for 7.2 and best try Miracle v4ROM on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583871
Just follow the simple instructions
Remember to adhere strictly to the instructions otherwise u can get into problem
After installing u will not see your messages..so in that thread some files like <All System Apps> are given..unzip them and put on ur SD..
then using any Root explorer paste those files (like mms.apk for messaging service) in /system/apps
Thats all...u will see a great ROM...extremely fast with ICS layouts..
Don't forget to hit THANKS if i helped..
resolved
Ok my problem seem to be resolved... On the internet I finally found a Koodo 2.3.4 galaxy ace firmware to flash with ODIN. So I flash it, but I reinstall CM 7.2.0 FAT KANG and it seem to work now!! But Cyanogen doesn't detect Koodo carrier, it just detect Rogers, Telus (Telus=Koodo) and an other like 3016...

To answer your question or anyone else's, you'll have to change the CSC to Telus/Koodo. But first make sure you're on a full-package DTLKI4 firmware
First, write down your IMEI that you find in About Phone > Status
Then go into your phone dialer and punch in *#272*your imei#
You'll have a list of CSC codes to choose from, and hopefully TLS/KDO will be on there.
Changing your csc WILL do a complete factory reset on your phone, so be prepared to do that.
Great thanks

Can you please share your experience on how to get CyanogenMod onto an Ace Koodo phone ? I am confused reading bits and pieces of instructions , sometime diffcult to link up all together from a time line perspective.
Thanks in advance !

Hello everyone, I am a noob that needs some help here. I have the samsung galaxy ace s5830D and I can't install any custom roms. I rooted with superoneclick. But I still can't install any roms. Please help me someone.

Hi,
First thanks to Joosh3 for Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.1.
I installed this ROM yesterday and have no issues till now.
I need to know if I can get the KIES to work as I need to restore the data from it.
Also, what is the safest method to go back to stock kernel and stock ROM if there is a need to reclaim the warranty as my phone is only a month old. I am new to ROM/kernel flashing and would appreciate if I can get clear and simple instructions.
Thanks.
Can some one help me on this?
Also fb information ticker is not working.

if i'm not mistaken, this ROM is ROOTED..and KIES will not detect any leaked/custom/rooted ROM...but there's possibility,depends on the dev itself because they can could make things work...and about stock ROM and stock kernel, u may want to check sammobile.com..download your original firmware from there and flash it via odin..thats all that i can help cz im a newbie hehehe.
Guys I flashed CM10 Alpha4 yesterday and then the AVATAR rom on my i9003 and since yesterday I m facing battery drain on my device.
I m losing 1% battery every 10mins on standby with 2G on.
Please suggest me what shall i do..??
Which is the best rom/best way to get good battery backup.
I think you need a few more cycle to get a perfect battery percentage.if after battery cycle you still get battery drain i sugest to back to ics with alpha 11 kernel.
Press thanks if i help you
try to use my guides in my signature
Thanks MR.Volkf for your help. Flashed the kernel and the tweaks. Will post the results in a day...

You can download the stock firmwares from the thread below however I did not find the version you mentioned ie I5800XWJG6. It is however safe to flash any of these firmwares.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940
There are many custom ROMs available for i5800. Check the thread below for a list of custom ROMs available for your device and choose which one you may want to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591
I personally endorse using any of these 3.
Kyrillos 9.7.1, Kisadworx 2.5.3 or Purukisadworx.

I agree.
Try PuruKisadHybrid 2.4. it is really smooth and
Kisadworx which has more features than any other Custom ROMs.
