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

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.

Hi, I just need alot of help! I've been a rogers captivate owner for a year and i've rooted, sim unlocked, flashed many, MANY roms with success. I have also soft bricked my cappy a few times but odin restored it back to stock every time where i started over.
So basically, i soft bricked my cappy, used odin to restore to stock rogers gingerbread 2.3.3 , rooted, used odin to install corn kernel and now every time i wipe data and everything in recovery and flash a rom, it says successful but when i restart, it just gets stuck at the " samsung I896 " screen and doesn't go any further. I can't go into recovery or do anything, but i can succesfuly odin back to stock gb. I've used this same procedure many times before and it always worked but not this time. The only difference there was, was that when it got soft bricked this time, I was going from MIUI JB to Paranoid Android JB instead of ics or gb custom roms.
Can anyone please please help me out here? I really hate stock samsung roms and I LOVED JB when i had it, and i really want it back! I would really appreciate anyone's help! Thankyouuu !
[EDIT] Thankyou everyone who tried to help, i figured it out and resolved the problem, the problem was i was wiping data/factory reseting in cwm which i shouldn't have been doing.
What about using Odin to flash a kernel compatible with the Paranoid Rom, then flash the Rom through that kernel's recovery...

Yeah, but paranoid android comes with its own recovery, and oh i forgot to mention, i have tried many times, and sometimes after i flash the paranoid rom, and reboot, the phone will boot but directly to recovery when i normally boot it, so i can flash the rom through its own recovery but still it just boots into recovery directly nothing else, and then i go back to stock and i've been on stock for like a month now, but im really missing paranoid androidd.
Wait i think i found the solution guys please helpp ! on stock when im about to flash the new rom, do i clear user data/ wipe data whatever it is in cwm ? Im doing that with faliure, am i not supposed to?
So I finally convinced my friend to root his phone and flash a ROM, and I have done it on two other phones, but I don't know how to do it exactly on this phone and what I need downloaded to do it. My question is, is there a guide to get from stock 2.3.6 to 4.3?

Here's a pretty thorough root method similar to if not the same as the one I used.
http://www.android.gs/root-galaxy-s-blaze-4g/
After you root you're gonna need a 4.3 recovery.
http://d-h.st/Osd
Thank KTempleton for that one.
And 4.3 Gapps
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
And of course the 4.3 ROM of your choice
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid back up.
Flash CWM package you just downloaded.
Reboot system then reboot back into 4.3 recovery.
Do a full wipe. That's data reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik and format system (under mounts and storage)
Flash ROM then flash gapps.
If all steps are followed properly you will be running 4.3 in no time.
Make sure to read all instructions contained in the OP of the ROM you wish to download.
Please do not hold me responsible if anything goes wrong
Happy flashing.

You forgot you need a custom recovery to flash KTs 4.3 recovery. or it must be pulled from the zip and manually flashed.
To make it easy, either follow Skywalker's root thread or go to the Blaze bible thread an use KOnane's GB Odin root thread at the top. After you have root, use Rom manager to flash the latest cwm, which will work with 4.3. Then go ahead with the Sky's above and backup, wipes and flashing your favorite rom.

Odin restock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591601
But there is a new way to restock right back to then latest ICS. It is in the last few pages of the restock thread. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44626072&postcount=117
Posted these instructions on quite a few threads but here you go...
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot or on custom recover wipe cache and dalvik cache reboot and you're good to go.
If I helped you in anyway don't be afraid to hit thanks!

Tommyboy is right. Though I will say as they are far from perfect they are stable enough to be daily drivers. I've been running 4.3 for a while now, and the biggest, or most annoying issue I have faced is wake screen delay. I can't stand it lol. Also speakerphone is a big one for some people. But yea, I've had no serious issues with any 4.3 rom. Except for that one time when I started using philz touch and it just wasn't doing it for me... But that is beside the point lol Try BeanStalk or the newly posted PACMAN ROM. Or CARBONrom. Or Dirty Unicorns. Or CM10.2 You can't go wrong lol.

Hi – I have a stubborn issue with my Blaze 4G not working on CM roms, I would appreciate any help you guys can provide. Below are the details:
I recently bought a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and did the following:
- Rooted it using the following guide (it now has ICS)
- SIM Unlocked it using the following guide (now it works on other networks)
- Updated to CWM 6.0.3.8, since JB roms needs it
- Flashed the T769-UVLH5 modem, since CM support it
And now when I flash CM 10 stable or 10.2 nightly it gets stuck in booting and displaying the CM logo animation screen, after few minutes it reboots and does it all over again.
I remember when I upgraded to CM JB on my SGS3 I needed to flash a JB stock rom on it to get the new boot loaders for JB, but I saw no mention of this on this forum. What else am I missing?
Thanks.

And now when I flash CM 10 stable or 10.2 nightly it gets stuck in booting and displaying the CM logo animation screen, after few minutes it reboots and does it all over again.
I remember when I upgraded to CM JB on my SGS3 I needed to flash a JB stock rom on it to get the new boot loaders for JB, but I saw no mention of this on this forum. What else am I missing?
Thanks.

You wiped data/cache/system? Reinstall it. Anyways use the new 6.0.4.4 recovery.

Thanks Somcom. I have to admit that I forgot to do the wipes. but even after doing the wipes (data/system/ factory rest/ cach/devalk) and reinstalling the CM nightly, I still have the same issue.
as for recovery, I updated to the latest version using the rom manager, and according to the official site clockworkmod[dot]com[slash]rommanager (can't post links) I have the latest version for Blaze. how do you get the 6.0.4.4 on blaze?
I still feel it's a ICS vs JB bootloaders issue, but not sure how to proceed next.
Thanks!

No boot loaders man. This is before Samsung's complications.
Recovery is here.

Thanks Somcom3X, but still didn't work. When installing the CM room in recovery 6.0.4.4 I get a bunch of getprop assert failures. This used to work on the previous version (6.0.3.8). Now the Rom won't install.
Also, I'm curious what did you mean by this is before Samsung's complications?
Thanks

After 2011 samsung began installing software and counters to try and prevent people from rooting and installing custom firmwares.
knox is an example of this.
These devices don't have any of that complicated security.
You handy with odin? Your recovery is not right. Just to be clear, what is your model number?
If it is T 7 6 9, your good to go to odin. I'd recommend going back to stock, and then install a recovery and you should be good to go.

Thanks again, I use the guide here to convert the image into a tar.md5 to flash using odin, but after flashing successfully I still have the same issue when installing the CM zip file in recovery, and yes it is the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G T769.
any other possible causes?
BTW - when I was flashing via Odin my upload phone screen was showing that I have a custom rom and the counter was 1.... do I need to fix that?

SOLUTION:
The reason your stock recovery system keeps getting overwritten at Android startup is because of a script that is being run.* All you need to do is either rename this script or simply delete it.
Please keep in mind that if you restore your stock ROM, this script will be restored with it so you will have to rename or delete it again.* Do the following:*
1.
Make sure your device is powered on and running normally,
2.
Make sure you have rooted your device and that you have all of the necessary permissions in order to manipulate system files.*
3.
In the root file system go to \system\etc
4.
Find the file named install-recovery.sh and either rename it or, as I did, delete it.*
That’s all there is to it.*
Please keep in mind that you will need to flash your custom system recovery one more time after modifying the script file.* After that, reboot away and you will always be able to get back into your new system recovery.
Good Luck and Happy Tweaking.

Thanks Somcom3X - but I'm not sure this is needed for my case. I read the original blog post and my recovery does not get overwritten. I actually rebooted multiple times into CWM recovery and each time it is the same 6.0.4.4.
I also went into the /system/etc folder and there is no install_recovery.sh file.
to clarify, here is where I'm stuck now:
- when I use CWM 6.0.3.8 CM install completes successfully, but then CM will not boot, and will keep on cycling on the boot logo screen.
- when I use CWM 6.0.4.4 I can't start to install CM as it complained that my phone is not t769.
in all cases I'm using CM 10.2 nightly for T769.
Thanks for the help.
You should delete assert lines at the top of the zip's updater-script and it will let you flash it.

I removed the assert lines from the updater script, and it was able to complete the install process afterwards, however when I booted the new CM 10.0 system it got stuck on the cyanogenmod boot logo. I made sure I do a system/data rest, cleared cash, and cleared devalk.
I do not think it's an issue with my recovery as I'm getting the same result as I did with the official 6.0.3.8.
Something else is going on.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks Somcom3X - but this is more trouble than what I wanted to put in - I'll stick with the rooted stock ROM I have. I was hoping the process was a little more straight forward, similar to my SGS3.
thanks for all your help thus far!

Ok, my rooted ICS stock is acting up (random shutdowns and such), so I need to give this another try and get this phone to CM.
I tared back to stock GB, skipped the upgrade to ICS (was not able to upgrade via the ROM software update option), flashed CWMR (5.0.4.x) via Odin, upgraded to CWMR 6.0.4.5, installed CM 11 nightly, and then wiped data/factory rest and Dalvik .... and ....
it is still stuck on the boot screen....
I seriously would appreciate a silver bullet right now!

Hmm. Go back to stock ics, flash a 10.2 recovery, then flash whatever you desire.

What is a10.2 recovery? Is it a certain version of CWMR? And do I need to flash it via Odin? Thanks

It would be cwm 6.0.2.7
You can flash the img through a zip or by terminal on the phone.
Odin needs a tar'd recovery img
Sorry been very busy.
Have you tried this?

Thanks Somcom3X - I looked all over this forum and the internet, and could not find a link for a 6.0.2.7 CWM for Blaze - I found it for other phones but not Blaze. can you please point me to a link if you happen to know of one. the official site does not have an archived list of previous versions.
as for the provided link, I did follow it through, and downloaded the recovery Tar (it was CWM 5.5.04) but that yielded the same results after installing CM 10 and 10.2 - stuck at boot screen logo. I'm reasonably confident now that it is not a recovery issue, as I flashed half a dozen different versions and none worked with CM 10, 10.2, or 11.... it has to be something else!
Thanks.

That is my personal 10.2 recovery. Works fine for me.
The author is me, but I was too lazy to change the lines.
