Hi all,
I was attempting to install Darkys Extreme Edition on my brother SGS (running Froyo 2.2.1) last night and had a number of issues, i am an experienced techy and familiar with flashing etc but i am still new to Android.
I managed to flash the Speedrom kernel onto his phone using Odin, i rooted with "super one click root tool" and installed Clockwork Rom Manager from the marketplace,i then dropped the "Darkys rom Extreme Edition v9.1.zip" onto the root of the SD card and entered recovery using the button combo and received the "could not verify whole-file signature" installation aborted, the file had not been opened as i read this will break the signature but instead i downloaded the rom again from a different source and had the same problem.
I then attempted the same process by asking CWM to install the rom on the SD card, same problem and then attempted it again by entering recovery through CWM and again the same thing happened. I did some searching online and managed to find out that he needs recovery 2e (he currently has recovery 3e)
So i figured it would be simple enough - download and flash eclair 2.1 through the phone, however when i checked his "about phone" i find i9000JPW and cant for the life of me find ANY reference or firmware online for "JPW"
So with that i have the following questions - can the experienced users here spot something i am doing wrong?
and
would i be able to achieve the recovery process by flashing ANY stock, Eclair 2.1 ROM through the phone (like JPY for instance) and then be able to install Darkys Rom?
I am grateful to anyone that could shed some light on this for me, i am not currently with the phone but if i can get some solid info i can go over tomorrow and have another crack at it, ive Googled this a lot and cannot find a solid enough answer as to whether the above suggestion will help or hinder in this case.
Cheers to all
Not sure if this helps as i am not much of a wiz but i think darky rom needs the darky app from the market to tell which modem and kernel to install.
Not sure if that's actually the problem but worth a try.
Stock recovery changed from 2e to 3e from eclair to froyo which is why cwm is having problems. I had the same problem with a vibrant that had been updated to 2.2. I flashed a TW Bionix ROM and soft bricked the phone. Find the right pit and tar files and Odin back to 2.1 and you should be fine. Check out Shorty's locker on Team Whiskey. He has lots of stuff in storage.

Thanks guys ill be sure to give this a go, gongshow how will i know which tar and PIT files to use? is there a repository somewhere where i can get them for JPW? or can i use any eclair 2.1 rom (and the tar/pit files) and flash that using Odin?
Download hardcores latest speedmod kernel and flash via Odin. That's all you need to get recovery 2e. Then install your favorite rom and enjoy.

Ah, this sounds like what i was looking for, thank you! i'll download that ROM and if i can get over there tonight ill attempt it tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow, ill go look up a tutorial for flashing roms in Odin too, since i have so far only flashed a kernel with it, thanks for all the help guys i really appreciate it, especially since i'm hoping to get an Android phone myself soon and i wont be able to leave it alone til its all custom!
Ok, all done! last night i flashed Darkys Resurrection 9.2 using Odin on my brothers SGS, downloaded Darkys configurator from the market and made any necessary changes and installed the speedmod kernel k13c total time taken from start to finish: 30mins
everything is running smoothly and exactly as he wanted it, a huge thanks to all who contributed help to this post in particluar:
ehtoeh - for putting me onto the K13c speedmod kernel and
aerobomb - for putting me onto the idea of flashing the Resurrection rom to lower recovery to 2e and then flashing Darkys 2.3 final.
You guys are awesome and i could not of done this without you, when i eventually make the move to Android ill be back and hopefully ill be able to help you guys out!
No worries bud. Hope your brother enjoys his phone. What quadrant scores did you get with darkys 9.3? I hit 1499.
Btw, you could have done it all in under 10 minutes. Speedmod k13c has CWM built in and gives you 2e recovery. Then just flash 9.3 directly. No need to go from 9.2 to 9.3 unless you really like flashing

alright i've been up all night and i have no idea what i did. i guess we'll start from the top.
one clicked rooted
downloaded rom manager
installed cwm
installed bionix frost rom
decided to mess with voodoo
and where it gets messy...
wanted to try out a gingerbread rom, so flashed after a full wipe
forgot to turn off voodoo
now when i try to get to the recovery screen, its all garbled. sometimes it doesnt even come up.
on top of that, i cant mount the sd card anyway. what should i do?
Do not use rom manager use the cmw from krylons post. To install gb you need gb bootloaders. So. Install kg4 leak by chadster than isnatll kg4 kernel than flash your gb rom thru cmw and walla..

I got used Odin to flash that hawk.zip from another post to get it back to stock. I've never really dealt with partitions before, so it'll take some getting used to making sure everything is mounted.
Wouldn't work on my computer and I was up all night trying to figure out how to wipe and flash from adb lol. Feels good to finally get some sleep.
I'll make sure to read guides more throughly before flashing on phones I don't own lol.

Ok ,my girlfriend bought a new infuse and now she wants a custom ROM preferably ics on it ! It's on 2.2.1 ATM so I read around n as far as I could find out here is what I need to do :
1. Use Odin stock GB package to flash stock GB, I found a thread but it says it had no bootloaders. This is the confusing part shouldn't the Odin have GB bootloaders ?
2. Once I m on GB bootloaders if I don't have root n cwm I flash a kernel to get those
3.then I flash a ROM as per instructions in OP
Am I right ? O am I missing something? Also would be a great help if someone would tell me which is the safest method to get GB bootloaders on infuse ? Thanks a lot in advance

No, not really any of that is necessary. Root the phone on 2.2.1, install CWM via ROM manager (found in Google play), download and install Cyanogenmod 7 (found at cyanogenmod.com) on her phone (no matter what version, just v7), then flash an ICS ROM the same way as the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM, no other stuff.
ROM install instructions:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Install (Gapps if required)
Reboot

Don't take his word for it, as I don't think he even has an Infuse. Cyanogen doesn't officially support the Infuse at the moment, so you won't find a CM7 rom there for the Infuse. Since you are still on 2.2 and have root, you can use Rom Manager from the Play Store to install recovery. You'll note that there isn't a choice for the Infuse in the device list. Choose Galaxy S i9000, and that recovery will work for the Infuse (Don't try to use i9000 roms on the Infuse, though, because they won't work without being properly ported.). Once you get CWM recovery, choose your rom from the Infuse development section here, and follow the instructions there for installation. We also don't advise using Rom Manager for much else, as some have had issues on the Infuse. It's best to do nandroid backups, rom flashes, etc. directly in CWM recovery on this device.
By the way, the previous poster has a Galaxy S i9000, and his instructions for flashing an ICS rom aren't correct for our device either. Be sure to follow the instructions found in any of the rom threads here once you get CWM recovery.
All that said, since you mentioned Odin, you could also just flash Option C with Odin from HERE, and you'll have AT&T Gingerbread with root, CWM recovery, and a bunch of other goodies. This is a good base from which to flash any other rom you'll find in the dev section.
You also asked about bootloaders for Gingerbread. If you take issue with seeing rainbow artifacts in recovery and in the boot animation (the only issue that you will have without them), then you will need to flash them separately. We don't include them in Odin packages, because a failed bootloader install is really just about the only way you can hard brick an Infuse. If you can sucessfully flash other items in Odin, and are on Gingerbread or ICS, download and extract THIS package, and flash the tar.md5 in Odin. In seconds, you'll have the bootloaders, and will never need to flash them again.

Thanks a ton for the elaborate detail I.would try the Odin method as I an very comfortable with it but I've last question since u said that those packages don't have bootloaders , when I flash those Odin packages I will have GB on the phone but no GB bootloaders ? U mean I will run a GB ROM on froyo bootloaders? It's that even possible? I ask this because on captivate when I moved from froyo to GB we flashed Odin along with bootloaders so I had a GB ROM with GB bootloaders in fact other we were asked to first flash GB bootloaders n then flash a ROM ! And if that it's possible then all I have to do is just Odin that GB package without the bootloaders and then flash the bootloaders once and for all, right? Sorry for being a noob in this section but it's better being a noob rather than hard bricking a infuse lol

Yes, you can have and run Gingerbread on the phone without GB bootloaders. The only side effect will be that you will see rainbow distortion in recovery and during the boot animation. Other than that, on the Infuse, Gingerbread runs fine on Froyo bootloaders. So, you are right. Odin the GB package without the bootloaders, and when that's done flash the bootloaders. You won't have to flash the bootloaders again as they can't be downgraded. Froyo runs fine on the upgraded bootloaders, too, by the way.
Oh sweet ! Thanks a ton will flash it now , she has been eating my head to get rid of the at n t bloatware finally I will get her phone on ics thanks a ton for pointing me in the right direction and bearing with my noobish questions ! Thanks to everyone

If you have no rainbows or glitches, then the bootloaders that are on the phone are fine. If you are using Aeon 1.4, and don't have any glitches in recovery, then it is safe to assume that you most likely have the GB bootloaders. Some kernels have workarounds for the rainbow artifacts, so if you flash something later and find that you have rainbow distortion, you can always flash bootloaders at that time. For now, if all is good, then there is no need to worry about bootloaders. To answer your question, though, the best way to know is to check recovery and boot animation. If there is no distortion, and everything boots properly, then you have the proper bootloaders for your setup.
Thank you for the fast reply. Yes i dont have any problem there. Reason i wish to make sure is- my phone no longer recognised in pc hemidall or odin, tried all but failed. It charge with usb but no luck in download mode. Willing to try ics so anxious.

Yeah, those issues aren't related to your bootloaders. You'll want to try different USB ports, another cable, uninstall and reinstall your Samsung USB drivers (and your Heimdall libusb driver for one specific USB port), etc. But, the bootloaders aren't to blame for your issues there.
Ye i tried. I'm on ubuntu so heimdall is my choice. Usb could be board problem. So willing to play safe so that i wont got in situation where i need heimdall i know my chance is slim for ics considering the issue that may occur.

If you are that anxious to flash ICS, you can do it without the bootloaders.. you will just have the rainbows with which you can live for a while.
Then later when you get a chance of using Windows, use Odin to flash them.

I've read the articles...I'm still learning.
Before I experiment with installing any custom ROM's or
upgrading to GB, I wanted to make sure I had my existing
ROM backed up.
Apparently, I am unable to boot into CWM recovery.
If this helps, the recovery installed on the SD card is:
clockworkmod/download/download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0-galaxys4g.zip
I copied this file to my computer & unzipped it. It unzipped into 28 files, none of which was an
image file.
As I said before, maybe I'm way out of my league.
Thanks for the reply.
All you need to do is flash a rooted kernel with cwm already in it. Read the second post in lumin's guide. I think you are confused about how recovery works on this phone. It's in the kernel.
OK...as I understand it, I have to download a program called Odin and a
kernel and flash the kernel using Odin.
I do know how to get the phone into download mode.
I'm still a little nervous about doing this (although I was able to
root the phone without any problems).
Thanks again...
You have got to be adventurous when it comes to flashing. Luckily this phone is very hard to brick. Even if you get a boot loop with no cwm you can still one-click to stock and try again.

You gotta walk before you can run. One-Click yourself back to GB Stock and worry about it from there. That way, if you get screwed up, folks have a baseline to assist you from, and can "unwind" whatever it is you have managed to do to yourself.
So I'm having this issue with recovery. I recently got this Infuse and it was running cm9 but used the ODIN UCLB3 return to stock method cause cm9 was giving me issues and I always preferred running stock. Anyways, stock is painfully slow and laggy, so I wanna run jb 4.2.2. Now, here's my issue: I decided to try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129 and followed the instructions but whenever I reboot to recovery, instead of the recovery menu appearing, what does show up is a mess of colored lines that look as if the lcd screen was cracked and nothing really happens no matter what button I press... I then wanted to try another recovery, so I used the ODIN method to install Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel with Red CWM Recovery and doing so made the recovery menu show up correctly!! I then followed the steps in the rom thread and it said to flash cm9 and gapps, reboot and when it got stuck in the splash to use power + vol up+down method to get back to recovery. well, whenever i do this, it does go back to recovery but, once again, instead of the recovery menu showing up, it shows all the messed up colored lines... i then have to use the odin return to stock once more and go back to stock :/ Im not at all experienced with samsung devices as all my previous ones were htc's, so any guidence and help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advanced!

ok, so now i have another issue. i went to flash the red cwm but the links on the thread appear to be outdated and so i couldnt download the heimdall install mehthod for the entropy dd kernel + red cwm. also, the phone is (for some reason) not recognized by odin (probably cause i have no root??). the heimdall return to stock wasnt rooted, so now i have to root. i tried the superoneclick from one of the threads on here but it froze and wouldnt work, so i downloaded the superoneclick on the android developing and hacks forum and it gets stuck on shell rooting device... - Step #7. sooo, what can i do here?? thanks for the help so far, btw!

That is the kernel I prefer to flash.In the future if you don't have or wish to restore a backup this root package ROOT THE UCLB3 listed in same Heimdall thread by qkster has worked just fine for me.

I recommend reading, reading, then reading that thread many more times. I have read it and followed the links in it many times. About every time I do I notice or pay attention to something else helpful.

definitely, and especially since this is all so new to me coming from htc... and, to add even more reasons to the convenience of reading all about the infuse, i think this is gonna be my daily device for quite some time... so i better read up on all i can!!
Also remember that the file format changes to MDT and any screw ups will probably require a return to stock using Heimdall or Odin. Read the OP instructions very carefully.
This is a guide guide to use too.
