Hey guys!
I am.. new.
I have been here looking at the forums for about two months before deciding to register.. today.
I got a question.
This ICS ROM looks very interesting.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449649
I don't understand the installation steps..
I never flashed my phone before and i hope you understand.
So.. My phone is a Galaxy SL i9003
Baseband version: I9003JXKP3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-CL982987
Build number: GINGERBREAD.JPKPH
Can anyone explain in detail the required steps to install the rom?
The phone isn't rooted.

yes, this is universal CF-ROOT, which can flash on all version of GB FW.
the addon is for the EXT4 conversion, which convert partition format.
this is to boost up you phone perfomance.
which you have to learn that, after you have know more on flashing
btw, after flash cm9, you already on ext4
What is the point of making wipe?? I didn't do it when I installed it. Shall I reflash the CM9 ROM or keep it like this???
Also another thing. Why I cannot overclock my phone?? When I had the stock rom I could overclock to 1.2Ghz with SetCPU, but now I can't.
Please help me.
Thank you.

wipe is to make sure phone reload the new rom.

Thank you, the thread was spammed alot and didn't know if i am supposed to ask such a simple question there.
Sorry for making a new topic.
You don't have to be sorry, It was just a reminding. Welcome.
Hi guys. Al thou this is my first post I've been flashing my i9003 for a year or so and i've never had any problems until now.
I have an stock gingerbread installed (XXKPQ) that I flashed using odin, kernel version (2.6.35.7-CL709629 [email protected] #1)
Just so you know, I'm from Argentina, and in order to be able to use 3g, had to keep the modem in I9003LUBKB1 version.
I also flashed cf root (by Skin1980) and I'm using CWM v1.80
I get the latest jellybam (1.3) from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972087
And followed the instructions in the official website : http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/
Just in case you're too lazy to follow the link here are the instructions:
What to do if you are coming from a Stock, CyanogenMod, MIUI, AOKP and any other custom ROM different from JellyBam
-Download the latest revision of JellyBam ROM for your device
-Place the zip into your internal SDCard
-Boot into CWM recovery (Home+Power+Volume up until samsung logo appear)
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe dalvik cache (Inside advanced tab)
-Install zip from internal SDCard
-Welcome to JellyBam!
(I had to wipe the data first and then put the zip in the sd card because wiping the data was erasing the jellybam zip)
The first time I run the installer it got stuck at 50% while installing sony's media player. So i just started the process again and uncheked sony walkman player, it installed "successfully".
When the phone restarted, it was just the old gingerbread, in the about phone panel, it was all the same that before installing jellybam.
So it obviously didn't installed. I can make calls, send and receive messages, wifi is working fine.
So can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Do i have to flash a jellybean kernel?, I dont really know hoe to do that but I'm sure there's more than one post around here that explains that process.
If this question has already been posted I'm really sorry, I did search for any post that could help me with this problem but I didn't find any real answer.
I really hope somebody can help me, and sorry for the bad english, I did study the language but it was a long time ago.
Thanks everybody, specially to developers, you're awesome.:good:
I think you should fist flash theJellyBam v1.1.0 alpha4 in order to repartition before flash the v1.3. hope it can help u.

First of all thank you for your helpful answer (I clicked the thank you button).
I have cwm version 5 and I have been having the same problem than the OP. I'd like to flash a CM rom before going on to JB 1.3 so my question is, knowing that I currently have an I9003XXKPR 2.3.6 rom, can I flash CM 10 or should I start by a previous version? And, if so, which one?
Thank you for your help.

i think you should start from zero. take a backup of your files, flash a stock rom and then use universal cf root to root your phone. then flash cm 10 alpha 4 and then the jellybam 1.3. that's the way i have flashed mine. i hope it helps.

Good luck! i hope you flash it correctly! just read and follow the instructions in the cm10 thread thoroughly so you can avoid any problems.
All custom rom unofficial, not compile, but directly modify our base cyanogen
It is recommended to start on a CM10 origin
Example A3 to A4
KPE> LF2> CF-LF2
Wipe Data / Factory Reset. (MUST DO THIS STEP)
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash.
Auto rebooted into recovery (if it show error mounting / cache, and cant mount in manually mount and storage, do wipe / cache)
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash again
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata (you would not find this in CWM so just ignor 6)
8. reboot
You can then flash all based on Unofficial Alpha 4
Just do the basic procedure wipe
I have CWM 5.0.2.7. I want to upgrade from 2.3.6 Gingerbread to Android 4(PACMAN ROM preferred). I tried at least 50 - 75 times flashing >5 different ROMS, almost once bricked my phone... I found stable Gingerbread 2.3.6 and I am using it right now. I really want to upgrade to version 4, because I develop apps in Buzztouch and they will now support Android devices with Honeycomb or later. My question now is: how can I really upgrade to Android 4, because every ROM I flash is stuck at the first boot. Any help?
There is absolutely zero possibility of bricking your phone in flashing custom ROMs unless you do it in a wrong way (flashing other phone's ROM ). Same thing goes for bootloop. Wipe data,cache, dalvik cache and even format /system before flashing and also do wipes after flash. This way u can view a new dimension to the android world

I already knew everything you said, even more, but thanks for idea of formatting /system. Maybe that is the main problem. Thank you so much!
UPDATE! Nothing is working. I think I will give up on ROMing.
Lol which baseband are u on? Try to flash latest stock rom ie DXKT7 and then flash a custom rom.

I cannot find any with DXKT7 baseband. I am on XWKTI.
I got the same problem. Flashing from stock 2.3.6 XWKTI to any other cm 10.1 rom is not working. Clearing caches etc. does not help.
Any solution to this?
The latest rom I tried is cm-10.1-20130907-NIGHTLY-beni.zip. No luck so far.
What is wrong here?
Solved. I used the wrong CWM. beni_cwm-5_ext4_v2.tar does the trick.

The CWM you use might be a one which is not working. At least I used a CWM 5.0.2.7. But it was rfs which is not compatible with the S5670.
So install CWM beni_cwm-5_ext4_v2.tar and you will be able to install any custom rom without problem.

It has options for converting ext4 to rfs and rfs to ext4, but I am scared to do that. How can I manually convert from rfs to ext4? And, will my system even boot after doing that?
Possible solution...
Hi,
I have successfully flashed cm-10.1-20130914-NIGHTLY-beni.zip using ClockWorkMod 6.0.2.7. I initially had problems getting cm 10.1 to boot, it would just stop at the cyanogenmod logo. I got this ROM to work by first flashing ╰☆╮ [ROM][CM7.2] JellyBread v5.0 | SURPRISE! UPLOAD COMPLETE! ╰☆╮. then flashing the nightly.
Good luck:fingers-crossed:.
Regards,
jemail
I wouldn't recommend installing ICS on a Galaxy Fit. The phone doesn't really stand that much of the ROM itself.. I use a rom that'll look exactly alike it, that's basically it. But I tried Lenio vQuattro. it seemed pretty nice If you really need to then try this rom. And it wouldn't be such a bad idea tp update CWM, or try another Recovery.

Good question.
I really got no answere to that question. But as far as I know there are CMW for rfs and for ext4/ext3 filesystems.
If you use the wrong CMW than the phone will hang in a boot loop after flashing. That's what I had.
So I suggest you should try different CMW. For rfs and ext4. Better to flash them with Odin. I used Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.42.exe.
As CWM try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24719114&postcount=1387 or this CWM http://androidlegend.com/dl/beni_cwm-5_ext4_v2.tar
One of these should work for you.
hey guys
my first post on xda actually yesterday i updated my xgamerz v2.2 rom to xgamerz v3 using clockworkmod recovery v6.0.28 everything else worked fine except it vant reboot into recovery ... i CAN reboot in download mode but not recovery.
when i reboot into recovery the samsung galaxy sl page slowly fades away and again reboots the phone into normal mode without going to recovery ( i.e. directly loading to os )
plz help asap
for now do a clean flash from ddlf2 then upgrade v3.. your problem will get solved.. and always wipe dalvik cache and format the system when upgrading the same custom rom. if you are going to any other custom rom just do full clean flash form ddlf2.. so that the rom won't cause any problem in your day to day life..
hope this helps you.

you mean go back to gingerbread 2.3.6 then flash cm10 and then xgamerz with all user data gone
instead of doing all this , i was wondering if i could flash a recovery using nandroid manager app( it has an option to flash recovery) but iam not getting a proper download link for my firmware. . . plz guide
try this : https://googledrive.com/host/0B4xN9...3.0/kernel-cm-10-20130906-galaxysl-signed.zip . and if this didn't work then you'll need to do a clean flash. just do titanium backup of all apps and also backup all you contacts and messages. restore them when you flash v3. you'll get all your userdata and apps as it is. and no need to flash cm10 after ddlf2, just directly flash v3 after flashing ddlf2 ( v3 is based on cm10, so no need to flash that)

try this application : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify if this didn't work then you'll not have any other way except clean flash. till my knowledge I think it's not possible to flash any recovery on jb ROM's due to different partitioning. i'll still suggest you to do a full app backup with titanium backup and restore it when you flash v3. happy flashing

nope that didnt work :'(
go to xgamers v3 page ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192613) and read the 3rd post which says " IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE FLASHING
THIS RELEASE!" you'll come to know what I'm trying to tell you since beginning.. most important : 1st and 5th point.
First i want to apologize if this has been answered, but i read so many things and maybe just confused myself. My infuse is on stock GB 2.3.6 (not rooted or any data to worry about), my goal is a stable custom ROM like CM10,slim Bean or any stable ROM you can recommend. Is there a step by step sort of a process i can follow to make this simple for a newbie? I am familiar with Heimdall and Odin but not sure where to start.
Thanks and i appreciate any help
First you need to be rooted and then get Clockworkmod cwm flashed! I suggest Enthropy cm9 , scott.hart.bti unofficial CM 10.1+ ROMs or Beanstalk( These are the most stable).
Remember different Gapps (Google apps) for different ROMs. If you already have CWM, then flash Enthropy's cm9 rom first. Then Scott's jellybeans and kitkat Hit thanks button! This is for att and unlocked infuse 4g.For Rogers, it's still the same except the mentioned back to stock tool.
Phase 1:
---------
To obtain CWM head over too Jscotts odin url.
1. download the file which includes root access.
"Stock UCLB3 with root
UCLB3_Unbrick_root_1.1.zip"
2. you will also need Samsung Kies, which will install
the usb driver for your Samsung galaxy. The link is on
the website.
3. Place your phone into Download mode
To do this, have your usb cable for your phone plugged
into the computer but disconnected from your phone.
shut off your phone. When the power is off press Volume
up and Volume down simultaneously, after the buttons
are pressed plug in the usb cable at the same time,
which should be connected to the computer.
This will place the phone in Download mode.
4. open the included Odin.exe, when you see the yellow
bar under ID:COM then everything is good.
Follow the rest of the instructions on jscotts website.
Finally when this procces is done, reboot into android.
Phase 2:
---------
1) Download SGS kernel flasher
2) Click on the link on jscotts website to download a
stock kernel which contains CWM. use "2013.04.30-
CWM-Synthesis-1.2Ghz.zip in the following link:

something is wrong, twice after flashing CM9, i was not able to boot in to the rom, instead it boots to recovery no matter what i did..
and the only way i could get back was to reflash back to stock with ODIN and both times it messed up after i tried to use rom manager to backup the CM9 rom. any ideas?
thanks
NOTE:MAKE SURE U'RE FLASHING EACH ROM WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE GAPPS or you'll get errors!!!If you have a backup of apps and contacts and pics,don't make any further ones.Once u start flashing continue on flashing
If you're back to stock with jscott's back to stock with root tool, before flashing any ROM,u need to flash a CWM recovery first like in the above guide.Then wipe,flash cm9,stuck at reboot,reboot to recovery,format system,cache,data,flash cm9,flash cm9 gapps,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache,back,back,reboot SYSTEM NOT reboot recovery. Now phone is on,just complete the default menus in cm9.Don't adjust any further settings!
Make sure battery life is beyond 40% every time or u're dead!
Reboot to recovery.Wipe cache/factory reset.Flash unofficial cm10.2 (if incompatible/error appears,ignore and flash again) ,reboot system,if stuck at reboot,reboot to recovery again format data and cache, flash cm10.2 (OR BEANSTALK 4.3 ROM), flash CM10.2 GAPPS wipe cache partition and wipe Dalvik,back,reboot SYSTEM. Complete default procedures at start.
Make sure battery life is beyond 40% every time or u're dead!
Reboot to recovery.Wipe cache/factory reset.Flash unofficial CM11 v01/04/14, if stuck at reboot system,reboot to recovery again,format data,cache,flash cm11 again and flash cm11 GAPPS , wipe cache partition,wipe Dalvik cache,reboot SYSTEM.
This should be all the needed detailed steps
Remember to hit thanks

For me, Beanstalk ROM has awesome features, but drains battery life heavily!
Unofficial CM11 has simple features, but very good battery life. I use unofficial CM11 from Scott(Infuse god)

U first need to flash any Jellybean ROM to get a new CWM, then flash Kitkat. CM10.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129
When u flash Kitkat ROM after cm10.2, you'll be stuck at recovery, reboot to recovery once more then flash ROM again then gapps
Remember to hit thanks button for me and Scott and anyone every time they helped you
Glad I helped you update the old Infuse

Actually, I just flashed KitKat directly from Gingerbread.
1. Flash the ROM from GB recovery
2. It will boot into the ROM, pull the battery and boot into CWM again. Wipe data, cache, etc. And flash the ROM again, but this time flash gapps as well. Wipe again after flashing, then reboot. It worked for me.

Is this method still working for you? I mean any weird issues yet?
I'm not the type that will change thing often so i stayed with 2.3.6 after seeing what i had to go through everytime something went wrong.can the same be done with CM11 maybe?
i might just give it a try
Thanks
Hello, I hope it's okay for me to chime in. I did basically all the steps you mentioned. Using ODIN and pit file to go back to stock -> Flash kernel with CWM -> Install CM9 -> CM10.2 -> CM11.
My problem is the same, I can not boot into any single CM rom I installed even though the installation process completed successfully, even after installing the rom twice. I will keep retrying to ODIN back to stock and get into CM9.

Yeah. Actually, I did it yesterday. It worked fine for me. The last wipe isn't ABSOLUTELY required, but I do it every time (the ROM tends to be a bit buggy then). But yeah, it works. Make a backup of apps and whatnot, wipe data, cache (you don't have to wipe dalvik cache), install the ROM, reboot (if it doesn't automatically), install ROM, GApps, wipe again and reboot. And your done! Lemme know if it doesn't work.
I followed this instruction to get into CM rom. Apparently, after flashing the rom, I have to not do anything and immediately reboot and let it stuck at the kernel screen. My mistake was wiping or flashing before rebooting.

It definitely is slower than my N4, but I can't wait to load some FLAC to it and enjoy the Wolfson DAC. I was going to repurchase the Samsung Captivate again, but I saw this model with larger screen and 0.2ghz faster so I went with it.

I tried to install kitkat 4.4.215 from GB CWM and i got a warning saying that partitions are incompatible and that all data will be wiped etc, should i proceed? all data has been backed up but is the partition warning something to worry about?
Thanks

I strongly recommend to first go to CM9 to update the CWM. These are the instructions of the ROM developer who knows what he is talking. It takes less than 5 minutes to flash cm9 from stock GB with red CWM.After cm9, CWM will be blue, then flash again followed by cm9 gapps, wipe partition, reboot system(follow previous guide). Then flash CM11 with cm11 gapps(choose Paranoid Android mini modular gapps).
In all will take less than 10 minutes to flash cm9 and cm11. After flashing each ROM, do only default procedures and nothing else and flash again
Flash CM9 first!!!
The partition alert is normal. Just install ROM again with specific gapps

U are on cm11. If you are not getting any errors, enjoy it. If any future problems,a reboot of phone is sufficient. Any big errors or heavy battery draining, then just flash cm11 ROM and gapps again followed by wipe cache partition and wipe Dalvik cache.
For backups, if you want to have game and apps data stored for easy restore, use titanium backup pro and if u can't afford it, I regret to say, but side download it

There are alternatives like Helium and Super Backup. I don't really use Titanium Backup myself.

No. That is normal. When you try to flash the ROM again, it will reboot automatically. It will bring you back to an updated blue CWM. Then just flash the ROM and GApps and wipe. Then reboot. Hope that helps!
