hello all , im a new owner of i9003 galaxy S. Recently decided to upgrade my firmware ( had 2.2.1 as default one ). Used Odin . Upgraded to 2.3.6 ( KPQ ) with no problems. Noticed one strange thing , when trying to turn off wifi , it will keep "turning off" state forever , and u cant turn it on after that . Tried 2.3.4/2.3.5 firmwares but they all seem to have this problem.Flashed back to 2.2.1 - no problem , everything seems perfect .
How u flashed???? First flash xxkpe then flash xxkpq. Then delete dalvik cache from recovery mode.
first flashed to KPM
then KPN
Then KPQ.
Overall tried almost all recent firmwares.
O.S. Can you tell me the exact steps to delete that file plz ?
What is your Froyo version ?
Before flashing xxkpe have you selected the latona .pit file and selected repartition in Odin?
Follow the xxkpe flashing instructions to the letter, then proceed to flash xxkpq over that (just select it's .tar file as the pda in Odin).

Ye , followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787 instruction very carefully , still get that "turning off" problem.
the problem is
2.2.1 - Poor performance compared to 2.3.5/6 - if not that id stay on it
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 ..
Hi Friends,

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.

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:
Firmware: I9003XXKPE
Firmware: I9003DDLF2
so I could fix my phone.
Thanks

You should probably read a detailed tutorial before flashing, as I think you´ve never flashed before... and also, you can search within the forum, so that you don´t spam this thread, that´s a developers thread.
1) Is XXKPE a must or XXKPQ will also do?
KPE
2) Where do I get the pit file?
Comes with KPE.
You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
3) DDLF2 is zip file so how do I flash, as zip or extract the tar.md5 file and through ODIN
Extract the zip and flash it via Odin in PDA
4) Which ODIN version to use?
I´m using 1.85
6) CF-root not required? I assume the kernel takes care of that.
To be able to install the rom you need a CWM. Cf-Root, Bam´s, etc. I´m using Bam´s 14.
Thanks for helping
5) Where is EXT4 install file?
You have to download it.
Instructions, you need to enter CWM.
- do a full backup with nandroid;
- install the attached script (DO NOT REBOOT AFTER THIS STEP);
- restore backup.

Now my (more) questions are :
1) Why flash KPE only first, any reason for that?
2) Is DDLF2 better or XWLF2 or ddkp3 (suggested by shriomman)
3) After say DDLF2 flash, can I flash BAM15fix kernel or is it must to install BAM14?
4) Is CF-Root install necessary as a separate step or when I flash BAM kernel, it will be installed too?
5) Which EXT4 script should I install? Shoould I do this step after flashing BAM kernel or after that?
6) Can I use the latest ODIN 3.04?
The main reason for flashing this ROM is that I am going on a vacation and need a good battery life which CM9 is just not giving.

Now my (more) questions are :

KPE, because you have to put the pit, pda, apboot, modem. Everything from the beginning.
2) Is DDLF2 better or XWLF2 or ddkp3 (suggested by shriomman)
Don´t know
3) After say DDLF2 flash, can I flash BAM15fix kernel or is it must to install BAM14?
You can flash any CWM
4) Is CF-Root install necessary as a separate step or when I flash BAM kernel, it will be installed too?
No. You have to flash a Kernel, only one. BAM, Cr-Root, Vurrut
5) Which EXT4 script should I install?
I think anyone, but I´m not sure.
Shoould I do this step after flashing BAM kernel or after that?
After, because first you need to do a nandroid backup with CWM.
6) Can I use the latest ODIN 3.04?
Not sure about the compatibility with i9003.
