Procedure To Update Samsung Galaxy S With Cyanogenmod 10
Device must be running latest Gingerbread 2.3.6 with ROOT to begin .....
Remove KIES completely from Phone and reboot Computer then Install latest Samsung USB Drivers then Reboot Computer...
Ensure that your phone battery is at least 85 percent charged
Cyanogenmod 10 Download
Download Google Apps (Optional)
Connect your device to PC by using the cable.
Enable mass storage mode on it.
Now transfer / copy all the 2 files to your device’s internal SD card.
Ensure that you are not keeping it in deep directory.
Now disconnect the phone from computer.
You then need to enter into recovery mode.
To do so, switch off the device completely, press & hold Volume Up button + Home Button + Power key until recovery mode appears.
After entering into recovery mode, select “install zip from sdcard” & then “choose zip from sdcard“.
Navigate to the ROM file (which you’ve transferred earlier)
Select it & press on ‘Yes‘ to continue. ROM installation process will start.
Wait for the ROM to get installed.
After ROM gets successfully installed, your phone will land in the recovery mode again.
Now select wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition to wipe all the data & caches from the phone memory.
The same procedure you have to do for installation Google Apps. (Just don’t do the above step i.e, don’t wipe the data after installations of Gapps).
After installaing both things, now press back button to land in recovery mode.
Select reboot system now from the Recovery mode to Restart the phone.
Usually first boot of the phone takes some time after flashing of new ROM so be patient....
Done!
Issues if you have any :
LOW STORAGE NOTIFICATION : HERE or See this LINK
If the above doesnt help TRY THIS APP
NO MOBILE DATA :
Toggle Flight mode ON/OFF
IMEI Issue :
Flash a stock version of Android for your device: GB 2.3.6 (JVU, or other) that will restore your IMEI
Then you can backup the /EFS folder.
NO 3G AVAILABLE :
The CSC you used is most likely not intended for your area.
This means that the broadband provider settings are not included and
need to be configured manually.
Go to : Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names, press the settings-button and select "New APN"

Re: [HOW TO GUIDE] ★ Flashing Rom with JVU before Custom ROM + EXTRAS ★
Thanks for the amazingly helpful thread. I had spent amazing amounts of time looking for a JVU bootloader an could not find it. Now i don't need to as your GB odin files fulfilled all my needs.
Now to test out whether your section on drivers will solve my issues of connecting post GB ROMd phone to my computer.

Your welcome, if you dont need Kies in your computer get rid of it ....
Reboot computer afterwards then Install the Samsung USB Drivers and reboot PC again to take affect....
If Phone doesnt recognise follow the Tutorial on the link if USB not Recognised

Help with /efs problem

Ok, so I was updating my phone to froyo according to these instructions by Virnik0 (meh, it seems I can't use links in my posts), but the name of the topic is "[HOWTO] manually flash Samsung Galaxy S with JPM firmware ** WORKS **" And you can find it from these forums.
Everything went fine. I successfully updated my phone to froyo, but I didn't root my phone or install lagfix even though the person gives instructions on how to do so, instead I just jumped into this part. This is a quote from the instructions.
GUI Medthod:
Download Android Mate from the Market
- Open the Android Mate, and switch to File Explorer bookmark at the top
- navigate to the /efs folder
- by ticking, select nv_data.bin, and from the bottom menu, choose copy.
- navigate to your sdcard directory (/sdcard for internal SD, or /sdcard/external_sd for external SD, does not matter)
- press Paste from the bottom menu.
- Connect you're SGS to the usb and download ''nv_data.bin'' to your computer
- Open ''nv_data.bin'' with notepad or wordpad and search for ''KOR'' change this to the product code matching your country
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now after I have downloaded "Android Mate" and navigated to the /efs folder to my surprise I find that it's empty and doesn't have such file named "n_data.bin" or any other files for that matter.
What does this mean and how do I get such files there?
After searching forums I found out that you should take backup from those files in /efs, but that was not mentioned in the instructions I was following
Edit: This is what I did before I jumped into the part I have quoted above.
1] Download both I9000XXJPK and I9000XXJPM firmwares
2] Download Odin 1.3
3] Download 803 pit file
4] Startup Odin.
5] Extract I9000XXJPK and I9000XXJPM tar files which you have downloaded to separate folders.
6] Then in Odin: (Now we will flash JPK firmware)
a) Click PIT Button, select s1_odin_20100803.pit file
b) Click PDA Button, select I9000XXJPK-REV03-PDA-low-CL584433.tar.md5 file
c) Click PHONE Button, select MODEM_I9000XXJPK.tar.md5 file
d) Click CSC Button, select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPK.tar.md5
e) Tick Re-Partition Button
f) Power off your phone and make sure you have SIM card out, SD card out.
g) Press and hold 3-button combo, to boot your phone in Download mode (Volume down, Menu, Power)
h) Once in Download mode, connect your phone to your PC via USB cable
i) In odin, ID:COM field shall change color to yellow, and in Message window, you will see message "Added"
j) Now press Start button.
k) Go and take cigarette, coffee, etc. This will take up to 15 minutes.
7] After successfull flash, phone will reboot itself, and Odin will write Success message. First boot can take another 10 minutes, so be patient during stare at glowing S logo on the screen.
8] If phone stays in text console (Recovery Mode) after reboot, writing (with red), that it is having problem with internal SD Card, do not panic, it will take another minute:
a) Just use Volume Down/Up to up or down movement and selection.
b) Select "Wipe cache partition" and press Home
c) Select "Format internal sd card" and press Home
d) Select "Wipe data / Factory reset" and press Home
e) Select "Reboot" and press Home
9] Get back to point 7]
10] Power off your phone again, press button combo for Download mode again.
11] Close Odin, start it again. It shall detect ID:COM port again.
12] Now press PDA, choose JPM_JPM_U_JPM.tar file (finally, JPM firmware).
13] Make sure Re-partition tick box is unticked.
14] Press Start
15] After reboot, you will have newest Froyo firmware available.

[Q] Not able to update ROM

Hi All,
These are my mobile details previously :
Mobile details: Samsung Captivate
ROM:FROYO.UCJI6
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
BASEBAND VERSION:I897UCJI6
FIRMWARE VERSION:2.2
nUMBER OF aPPS: 46
I am new to the ROM world and this is my first time.
So i strictly followed the tutorial in this link on "[HowTo W/Pack] Flash Stock I9000 2.3.3 NEE Updated (again) 4/25/11"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045734
Which says :
1. Wipe data and cache/Factory Reset with CWM. (pull battery when complete to shut off phone)
2. Find the "GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe" file and click it and extract its contents into its current folder.
3. Open up Odin 1.7 and now select the 512 pit file I included, and select all the files in the necessary place in Odin and make sure "repartition" is selected". your odin should look like this http://d.pr/Ixt2
4. Put Your phone in download mode and connect, now hit start. (THIS IS WHERE THE ONLY DANGER IS, YOU ARE NOW FLASHING 2.3.3 AND THE NEW BOOTLOADER INCLUDED WITH 2.3.3 Just dont unplug your cable or have your computer die, otherwise you will be 100% Clear)
5. Boot up normally and let things settle.
6. now power off the phone and wait for it to shut off completely. at this point hold down "Volume down and Power" at the same time and wait till download digger appears. Open up Odin and select the 512 pit and xcals kernel(In the PDA box) I included and DE-select repartition if it auto selects and go ahead and connect your phone (Obviously needs to be in download mode) and flash.
7. The phone will reboot and once again let things settle (media scanning and whatnot). Plug in the USB cable and transfer the folders included in this pack named "Fixes and modems" and also "For Rooting" to your phone. then power off the phone once again. this time hold down "Volume Up and Power" as soon as you see the screen turn on let go of the power button and continue to hold volume up until you see CWM.
8. at this point you should be in CWM (Woot!). navigate to flash zip from SD and then navigate to the folder "Fixes and Modems" and flash "Enable CRT Lock.zip" and "update-xvjvb-home_button_fix.zip" and I recommend flashing "modem_ugjk4.zip" as JK4 seems to do the best.
9.Reboot. At this point reboot and you should be on stock 2.3.3! Congrats!!
10. If you want to root read the txt file i included for rooting!
I was able to install the ROM till the 7th step,but from there iam not able to apply the fixes and modems.
Once i press the volume up and power button its taking me to Andriod system recovery <3e> mode:
I have four options here:
1)reboot
2)update from sd card
3)wipe data card / factory reset
4)wipe cache parition
when i choose update from sd card by pressing power button,nothing is happing.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Another issue iam facing is when i make call installing this rom my normal speaker under the at &T logo is not working,i have to switch on the speaker to talk to anyone, and thereturn key is also not working.
Best Regards,
Chandu.
I gt it resolved after installing the correct rom

Who says?
Which Rom are you trying to use and what are you coming from?
If flashing ODIN for JVU Rom :
Use ODIN with PIT File
PIT File Incase you need it : LINK
Open Odin and select 512 .PIT, and put in your files for : CSC, PDA, MODEM.
Check Re-partition and don't touch any other settings.
Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER.
Attach Phone
When you have all the files needed in ODIN, say JVU Rom for example as thats what we are using here
Click Start let it Run
Once complete you will see S logo on phone
Unplug Phone > Let it power up then Power Off > Again into Download mode
Then plug in Phone
Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted *File is included in ODIN Files*
Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Phone Cable
Close ODIN
Let phone boot up ....
What I do now is go into
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Before doing this make sure you have what you need from the phone as it will ERASE everything!
Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB Debugging
Plug in Phone and copy over your chosen Custom ROM that you want
Reboot into Recovery : VOL UP + MENU + POWER
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
If not you choose these by using the left side keys on the phone and to apply changes click Menu key
WIPE : data/factory reset > cache partition
Scroll down and go to advanced
Dalvik Cache > Battery stats
Go Back
Install ZIP (ROM) from Zip Card
Reboot Phone when complete... DONE!
Hope this helps a lot of people if not just ask here if you are still having issues to save peole posting same questions again and again
I made up the first part, but after the phone went into recovery mode

Helpppp
I have exactly the same problem. I had froyo 2.2 im new to this odin all these settings. Yesterday i was tried rooting my phone and I did. but after I mounted a courrupted rom from the recovery. and my android doesn't want to load. I followed the same instructions you just gave him. on these posts but now when i turn on the phone its the logo comes and nothing loads. Only Downloading VOL DWN + MENU + PW is working.
Are you talking to me devildrake? No, your problem is different and you need to flash the rom again too, not just dbdata lol. Do this.
Flash Gingerbread, in Odin (I always used JW4 but JVU will be fine) with 512 pit file and repartition checked. Untick reboot. Once its finished, unplug the USB cable and take the battery out. Put the battery back in and boot into download mode. Reset Odin. USB cable back in. Tick reboot again. Put dbdata.rfs in PDA. Flash.
Should boot into gingerbread. I've done this a LOT of times... Then you can go back to Odin and root.
If that doesn't work then I'd download a different version of GB, download new 512 pit, and download a new dbdata.rfs. Must be one of those corrupt.

[Q] USB and SD Card storage unavailable, upper bar not showing up. etc.

I have a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 GT-S6500D. My SD Card and USB storage is not loading up. If I try to open my files or gallery or listen to music it tells me there is not card inserted. When I go see the amount of storage used, It says 0,00B/0,00B for both USB and SD Card. Also, the upper part of the screen where it's suppose to give me notifications and battery stats and time is missing. As well as my Wi-Fi won't turn on, when I try to it gives me an error. I can't plug it onto my computer.I tried a few ways of fixing but to no avail. Anyone know how to fix this, people if it's possible not to lose my memory?

install samsung drivers and
Download firmware from the above list
and extract the zip file, you should get
.tar.md5 file along with few other files.
2. Download Odin v3.09 and extract the zip
file, you should get Odin v3.09.exe file
along with other files.
3. Now Open/Run Odin v3.09.exe file as an
administrator (to open program with
admin privilege, right click on the Odin
v3.09.exe file and click on the “Run as
administrator” from the context menu, this
is applicable only on Windows Vista,
Windows 7 or higher PC)
4. Switch off and boot Galaxy Mini 2 S6500
into Download Mode by pressing and
holding the Volume Down+Home+Power
buttons together (long press until the
boot screen appear). A warning message
will flash, now press Volume Up key to
proceed to Download Mode .
5. Now connect your Galaxy Mini 2 S6500 to
your PC via USB cable
6. In Odin screen, you should see a COM
Port number like “0:[COM7]” at ID:COM
section and “Added!” text at the message
box. This means your device has been
successfully detected by Odin. (If not, then
try connecting through another USB port.
If you are using desktop PC, use USB port
located at the back of the CPU. If still
don’t work, then you should reinstall the
USB driver and try again)
7. Make sure that, only the “Auto Reboot”
and “F. Reset Time” options are checked
in Odin screen.
8. Now, click on the AP button and select
the .tar.md5 file that you get by
extracting the firmware zip file in step 1.
9. Now, click on the Start button to begin
the installation process, and wait few
moments.
10. Once completed, you would see “PASS!”
message in ID:COM port having green
background
11. Your phone should automatically reboot
after completion
12. You can now disconnect/unplug your
phone from computer
Done it all, just one thing, when I completed it, it showed me RESET with blue background.................... After which, later when my phone loaded it turned into PASS.
Thank you for helping me fix the problem with my phone
