[Q] Help with galaxy s i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am new here, although i have been visiting this site often, i never posted and commented anything in this forum.
I have a galaxy s i9000 and last year i put the darkys rom with android version 2.3.3
Yesterday i tried to upgrade it to 2.3.4, because i wanted to change to insanity rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843019)
I donwloaded this kernel to use (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108)
But after i used odin my device would not pass the splash screen.
I then tried to go back to stock, using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913#), but after odin made his work and the device reseted, it showed a screen asking for to confirm a password.
I have no idea what password is this.
Can anyone help me?
I can get to download mode with no problem, but the recovery mode goes back to the screen asking for the password.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

My advice would be to flash a fresh rom. Here is a link to Gingerreal rom. It has got all the clear instructions + all stock firmware downloads. Try it. All the best!

Thanks for the reply DonVito.
The password, if anyone in the future needs it, is the last password you used in the screenlock.
I tried that just to make sure i did everything i could, and it worked
And by coincidence i just used that tutorial, for gingerreal before i even saw your reply, and so far so god, congrats for the developer
Just a little question, the rom doesnt have the portuguese language for the swype. Is that a way to install myself this? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

i9000XXJPM - password?

Hello all,
For unknown reasons, the i9000 update/flash seems to have had me more concerned and confused than anything I flashed for a long time - Im too used to HTC and nokia devices!
I finally decided I wanted to try flashing over to XXJPM - so I downloaded Odin, then the I9000XXJPM.rar, then the 8.3.pit and I thought - no more worrying, I have 3 button recovery, I can always reflash or some shizzle.
Then I tried to open the xxJMP.rar and unpack the .tar file to flash - and it asks for a password. Did I expect one? Not really, not after reading reports of everyone testing this F/W.....I never once came across a password.
I did try samsung then thought I had better ask.
Am I meant to try and crack this rar?
Can someone advise me? Is there a useable xxJMP somewhere?>
My stock UK vodaphone Galaxy is lagging like a glasweigan drunkard!
I got everything ready and I want to flash!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 try that, it has all the stock ROMs just reflash with odin and that should do the trick, instructions on how to do it are on that post too,
good luck
** As your gunna re-flash, Have you not considered a new custom ROM altogether ? plenty to chose from on this site. **
I suggest you follow the above link and flash to stock. It's very simple.. takes me 10 mins to get back to stock and up and I have only done this 2 times. There are people who do it several times a week.
I suggest you go for Darky's 8.0 ROM if you're new. It's one of the best.

Samsung Captivate Flashing Help?????‏

Hello
I am having the Unlocked SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) of Canada Rogers Network. I am using the same from last December, 2010. As now the firmware of my phone is crashed and it is not even going in DOWNLOAD MODE or in RECOVERY MODE, by which I can repair my crashed firmware and also now my phone is not working.
My request to you is that can you tell me that if you can FLASH my SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) with the ROM of the mobile if you have with you, otherwise I will provide the Original Firmware Backup which I am having with me. So please tell me whether you can upgrade the firm with the ROM you have or mine.
Please help me to solve my number, as I am from India, now I cannot send my mobile to Canada back.
Thanks
I'm sorry I know english isn't your native language but could you try and reword your question?
And what do you mean by the phone isn't working? What exactly does it do?

Eh thanks Studa, I came across his question earlier and didn't understand it either.
@ OP - if you could rephrase that, we'd be more than happy to help you
Hmmm...this is a tough one, and I work with offshore resources on a daily basis. My guess is he unlocked his cappy, took it to India, tried to flash something, bricked it, and needs help restoring a rom file he has on his phone, or a rom from here.

So far, it seems to me like he needs a way to flash Eclair or Froyo. If so here's the answer: Odin3 one click.

Please help me. Bootloop, No Recovery. Urgent!

Hey guys my cousin tried to upload a custom rom on his Galaxy S3 Mini, and something went wrong.
When i checked the base model before it went into bootloop it said it was the 8190N, but when i take the battery off, it says I8190 (Not N).
i can't go into recovery mode. i can only get to download mode. i am trying to find a solution, i am trying to find an official rom, that might help me, but it seems i can't get it to work.
My cousin has to leave tomorrow for a travel, and it is important to have his phone back...
Can you please help me with some advice?
Last custom rom that tried to get installed was virginity, it got root and super user, but after the installation of the rom, it got into bootloop.
Please share some ideas - links.
Thanks,
Ted
Just for future reference...
I managed to fix it. It took me all night because sammobile sucks when it comes to download speed.
the phone was actually i8190, but for some strange reason it said i8190N in the About info.
when i managed to find the original official stock rom, i was able to upload it through Odin and download mode.

Soft-bricked is good, download mode and Odin recognisable is better so don't worry we can fix this for you. First though, your English is understandable so keep it up and you didn't violate anything. You even posted in the correct section so +5 for reading.
Looks like your recovery is broken so you need to first make sure your phone is boot-able. Therefore Odin flash a stock rom (this uses the download mode) to reset everything. From there, two ways are available to install recovery, stock update or Odin flash again so choose which one suits you best. Don't use the old KitKat roms (except NightOwl) since they're unsupported. Stable ones are NightOwl roms as it's still in active development.

Right now you ignore all of that. Odin flash a stock rom from sammobile, then install the correct recovery based on your stock ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. Get the Jellybean rom, it's safer and easier.
