This is a question i need to ask because there is no one is telling is KPM need KPH 1st..please answer this question..
-sorry for making new thread..this just to make a newbie user to be more clear on how to flash KPM firmware-
no, you only need kpe first; if you're using kph, you must've already flashed kpe
that said, you can flash from kph to kpm, but some of the more experienced people here suggest you reflash kpe, then directly flash kpm
there's a tutorial - search for it

Tanx..i have found the tutorial..haha..
if you are on xxkph then you can directly flash to xxkpm
Ya pandarox is rite. In more simpler way i will say like this. You have two options.
1. If u are already on stock kph then blindly u just flash single file of kpm as pda file. No need of kpe. [because it is presumed that u have already flashed kpe files to flash kph at that time]
2. But if you are on any FROYO version then first flash 4 files of kpe & then flash only single file of kpm as pda file.
*Cough* under my sig.
So, i flashed Bam's kernel and ran into some problems, sometimes the phone get's stuck and the screen doesn't come back on when someone is calling you, the screen is black and you just hear the ringtone, you'll have to remove the battery..
This doesn't happen alot but is very annoying.
So i searched around, and seems like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451218 is better..
Any confirmation?
What are the steps of installing both his kernel and rom?
I didn't find anything about installing in his thread.
Currently running stock JPKPH and latest Bam kernel v13.
Thanks!
First download XXKPE and XXKPQ here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
then follow the guide here on how to flash XXKPQ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14933114
Once your firmware is XXKPQ
download CF-ROOT here for xxkpq
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056
then flash via odin select PDA then browse cf root
after rooting download the kernel and the rom in the link you've given,
go to CWM recovery and install zip (browse the vurrutROM) once installed flash the kernel through odin same step (PDA in odin).
Hope it helped.

Just a question, which one is more stable, Using the stock rom and bam's custom kernel, Or Vurruts rom and his kernel?
And if following the steps CORRECTLY can anything bad happen just because of badluck? i mean if you do it right, the result is 100% success?

Ive personally never tried both BAM's and vurrut rom . Maybe you can go to the thread and check on the feedback.
and if you follow the instructions properly nothing's gonna happen and yes if its done right its 101% success. Make sure you take a backup before proceeding with anything (Who knows it might not be you lucky day ) . Just kiddin bro ... Go ahead ..

When u flash a custom Rom the file partition is usually converted to ext.to flash stock u need to convert it back to rfs.so flash xxkpe first

I did flash XXKPE twice but still same issue, Boot Looping.
I found two things here,
1. Should i uncheck "Re-Partion"?
2. After installation, mobile went to recovery mode (both time) but i could see error while wiping data.
Did i do all things correctly? Or did i miss something?

My Fault, i did not read the instructions before downloading into GB version.
I have done all these things written in the post. In some other link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
I got to know my problem is similar to the one displayed in the link above. But i could not find these things for Galaxy SL,
Recovery Package/ROM
Kernel and
BootLoader for my phone.
I tried searching but not much useful though.
I'll try to explain how to go to CM9A11. Once you get there, set up your phone the way you want it and make sure it works fine. Then take a nandroid backup (do a search if you don't know how, or send me a pm like a lot of people do). Make a copy of that backup folder to your pc, so you can go back to that if something goes wrong. Then it would be the time to try out different CM9 based ROMs.

Thanks all, it worked
Thank you all.
I am back on XXKPE right now. I will upgrade to DDLF2 in some time.
How is performance of CM9?
Is it better than RemICS 1.5.3?
I was on RemICS 1.5.3 felt phone is becoming slower and slower thus wanted to shift back to DDLF2.
Right now il be on DDLF2 and will upgrade to CM9 (if its really very good).
Once again thanks all. XXKPE worked
No problems. BTW, I've posted the above help quite a few times in the last month.
If problem is solved, add solved to thread topic to avoid unnecessary subsequent posts.

Bootloop, NAND corruption most prob, help?

I have gotten my phone to boot via KPE - KPQ - CF-root - MIUI via CWM. But I cannot download apps or receive sms as the phone will say "insufficient memory". Is there any way to recover my phone to minimum function for a few months before I re-contract for a new phone?
There's a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757849) that has a solution which needs me to remove my NAND, I have tried but it's physically difficult to remove the memory, is that the only way? If so, is there anyone who can teach me how to remove the NAND?

I have Galaxy SL I9003 and was in RemICS 1.5.3 rom , when i reflashed my DDLF2 stock rom and usually everytime i flashed DDLF2 after CM9 Axx i had a bootloop which i fixed by flashing CF-Root for DDLF2 and everything worked fine ..
but recently after even flashing with CF-Root DDLF2 i m stuck in a bootloop , and strangest part is , if i flash Bam Custom Kernal , i.e. BCK Beta14 my mobile is booting normally WITHOUT ANY BOOTLOOP , but when i restart my phone it again starts from my Language Selection Wiping all user Settings ..
Pl. Help me
and . kindly Post Link to some tutorials of :
1. What is a GB Rom and difference btwn GB and Non GB Rom ?
2. What may be the Technical reason of this boot loop been hapening ?
3. BCK also have CF-Root then why its only working with BCK ?
4. even when i flash my stock rom still why it is in bootloop, shouldent it be orignal samsung Kernal as stock rom also has normalboot.img ?

Hi Gur-i
Even i faced a similar problem two days back, but i could not see language selection screen.
I could only see "SAMSUNG" logo and it kept on looping.
What i did? - I installed XXKPE than installed DDLF2 and it worked.
If you want details you can check this link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837711
just go to download mode and flash another firmware, that should get you somewhere
Installing DDLF2 (or say any 2.3.6 FW) on any rom makes your phone go in bootloop as there is only 1 file to flash. Hence 1st u need to install old FW with all 4 files and after which, u can falsh DDLF2 (or any 2.3.6 FW of ur choice.)
The instruction (here):
OR:
You will need following before beginning installation:
1) Flsher Program + PIT (ODIN3 + Latona.PIT)
2) Firmware: I9003XXKPE
3) Firmware: I9003DDLF2 (http://www.hotfile.com/dl/161660941/8fd61ef/I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_INU.zip.html)
STEPS:
1) Open ODIN. Connect ur phone in download mode. just flash Latona.PIT file with Re-Partition selected.
2) Once flashed, Ur phone will reboot automatically but will show only black screen with background light. Do not worry. Open the back cover, remove the battery, insert battery and boot again in download mode.
3) Close ODIN. Open it again. Now we will be installing XXKPE.
i) Select Latona.PIT File in ODIN. (Make sure the "Re-Partition" is unchecked once you have selected PIT file)
ii) Select "APBOOT_I9003XXKPE_CL409735_REV08_user_low_ship.tar.md5" in bootloader.
iii) Select "CODE_I9003XXKPE_CL409735_REV08_user_low_ship.tar.md5" in PDA.
iv) Select "MODEM_I9003XXKPE_REV_00_CL1041909.tar.md5" in PHONE.
v) Select "GT-I9003-CSC-MULTI-OXAKPE.tar.md5" in CSC.
Now flash it.
this will successfully install XXKPE on ur device. Once your flash is complete, ur device will boot and will ask for initial config. U can set it or just power off ur device and boot again in download mode.
Now will install DDLF2.
i) Select Latona.PIT File in ODIN. (Make sure the "Re-Partition" is unchecked once you have selected PIT file)
ii) Just select "I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5" in your PDA and flash.
U are now on DDLF2.
Hi, searched everywhere, but the files hosted on hotfile are all gone?
Please help. thank you
can anyone please upload to google drive? I really need these files:

Can please anyone help me? I'm really confused, because I have tried everything.
I've tried to flash many stock roms using odin, it also failed.
Thanks in advance
I think u r making mistake somewhere!
Try another one package firmware with different baseband bcoz sometimes basebands aren't compatible..
So try flashing wid diff. baseband n again use a proper CWM file..
Do Wipe data after every step
