Rooting Samsung i9000 DXJPA and installing Cyanogenmod using Heimdall

Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 and install Cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm using a Mac and will be using Heimdall.
The problem is I don't know where I can find the correct version of Clockworkmod for my phone. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My phone details are below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, is installing CWM actually rooting my phone or do I need to do something else?
Thanks!

If I do update to 2.3.6, how does that get me closer to rooting my phone?

Yes, because you need the gingerbread bootloaders to install CMx anyway. So do this.
1. Upgrade to 2.3.x with kies or Heimdall. Doesn't matter.
1a. Put the appropriate cm9 files in your SD card. (Gapps, ROM)
2. Flash semaphore or devil kernel .tar files under pda in Odin. Not sure about heimdall sorry!
Note: Please note that recovery is packaged with the kernel on this ROM, so flashing a kernel changes your cwm as well.
3. Now, you phone won't boot, no big deal. All we need is the recovery. Reboot into recovery and flash the cm9 file.
4. Now wipe data / factory reset
5. Reboot, Rejoice, enjoy

1. Backup all your sdcard data
2. Format it in fat32 format (your sdcard is corrupted)
3. Download the files here ROOT+CWM 5.0.2.6. Fixed
4. Flash the files using stock recovery

You need to flash the NE3 Odin package first, then you can update to OC7. You can't go directly from 4.2.2 to 5.0.1 or you will have the exact problem you're experiencing.

Post the log. You have to boot the phone into download mode by holding power and vol-, are you doing this?

<<<PLEASE>>> I need help. "Nand writer start" and does nothing else

<<<PLEASE>>> I need help. "Nand writer start" and does nothing else
Hello everyone, I have a problem, if you can help me, I want to put the rom stock of android 8 but when I put the 4 odin files it stays in "Nand writer start" and does nothing else. I have flashed many phones but never I had this problem. The mobile is not rooted or anything strange, it has the factory Android 9 ROM.
I have tried odin 3.09,3.10 and 3.10.7 and the problem persists.
What can happen?? :crying::crying:

I'm assuming you're trying to downgrade to a version with a lower bootloader version/number, which you can't do
You can only downgrade to the version with the same bootloader number.

So I can't downgrade to the android version 8?

did you tried with another tool?

Yes. I tried with odin 3.09,3.10 ,3.10.7, 3.13 and another ROMs the sammobile :crying:

The bootloader is locked in Pie after each OS update to prevent us from downgrading the OS on our devices.

Could this be the solution?

read up all about downgrading bootloaders( its not possible). check what your phone currently has then check what youre flashing. the 5th character (number) starting from the right when checking firmware build is the BL revision.
u can flash an equal or greater build. not a lower one.
also only 3.11.x and 3.13.x and future odin versions work on note 9 to flash firmware files.
in the picture u posted, your issue is the odin build.( ure using and old 3.09.x build)
while rooting might alow you to flash a custom rom(oem unlock is the 1 step to rooting) that is oreo based, not sure why one would want to do this. Q is just around the corner and keeping devices up to date now a days should be paramount.

Thank you very much.
I tried this to unlock the OEM and it forces you to format the smartphone completely, it doesn't work.

Can't Flash Official Firmware

Hello!
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N960F) from a third party shop.
I saw that there is no Software Update option.
After 2 days I discovered that it's in a custom rom (may be) called Lamlazy OS.
Then I downloded official firmware from #sammobile
And tried to flash with Odin.
But every time it failed with an error " repartition operation fail"
So will you all please suggest me what I can do now?
Or the flashing procedure ....
Thanks

i doubt that your phone N960F. Go to download mode and in the first line there will be Actual model number of phone.

the problem in the OP isnt caused by a model number mismatch, its because he is trying to flash the PIT. Flash it again without the PIT and it wont experience that issue
