I can;t seem to find a guide to install the right ClockworkMod so I can install Jelly Bean. Is there any guides on hbow to install a recovery and Jelly Bean from stock GB Touchwiz? (btw it is a YP-G1).
Thanks!

Just flash the Terrasilent Kernel with Odin to get CWM. That's the recommended starting point for installing CM10 anyway.
Remember to do all your backups (including and -----> **ESPECIALLY** <------ your EFS.rfs) first because when you flash the new ROM you'll want to clear your Dalvik cache and reset to factory settings, which would wipe all of the data on the device.
Once you've installed Terrasilent, press the power button and volume up at the same time to get into CWM.
I don't have my EFS.. I can't figure out how to get it back. I don't have a lock screen or a power menu.

Well, in any case, flash Terrasilent for CWM and then use that to upgrade to Jellybean.
In the future though, remember to backup your EFS before you flash a new ROM. You can't get it back once you've lost it, and faking one doesn't always work right.

It takes all of five minutes(if you have ADB set up) and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Guys we don't even know if he has his efs so why bother flashing terrasilent? Hmm do you have a efs backup laying somewhere on your /sdcard like efs.tar? Maybe you can get your efs if you have this.

I don't have an efs backup. A friend gave this to me because he bricked it, but I unbricked it with Heimdall and there's no lockscreen or power menu, and I heard about this problem back when I had my Infuse 4G but I never ran into it.

Well, if you're absolutely sure there isn't one, go ahead with Terrasilent I suppose.
Zac, since you're here I had some questions for you:
1. I noticed that in the CM9 thread you said the gapps package needs to check for the EFS folder, but the CM10 gapps post didn't mention it. Is it still necessary?
2. Do I need to clear the user data when switching between builds of the same ROM, or only between major versions (ie. CM9->CM10)?
3. I noticed that "Cell Standby" is sucking up quite a bit of battery life (latest CM10 build). Is this something we can fix (or workaround), or is the problem "upstream?"
Thanks for all the work you and bbelos (and others) have put in over the past few months. It's really great to see it all paying off so well.

Hmm you could ask for somebody to make a dummy efs with the necessary information to get CM9/CM10 flashed into your device

1. It's not the gapps that checks the efs folder, it's the zip installer script
2. It's not mandatory but if you experience problems, it's recommended to do so
3. As I've already said in the FAQ, it wont change anything because the device don't have any antenna or anything cell related. The battery won't even be touched.
Would anybody here be able to do that for me?

If you have the INTL version, you have to download Kernel r14 (Odin):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414565
Now, the Odin program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
1->Shut down your mobile.
2->Start Odin 3 (for example).
3->Connect the galaxy player with USB while pressing the volume down button.
4->Now, Odin will have to say that it's connected to your mobile. Then press on PDA and charge the YP-G70-Kernel-r14.tar
5->Tick ONLY Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
6->Pres Start and it will flash your Kernel.
7->Start your galaxy player while pressing volume up and home button. That's all! You will be in CWM recovery!
For US galaxy player, it's pretty the same, but the kernel is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445840 (Download the .tar version! If not you'll be nothing with Odin )

the problem isnt that he cant find the kernel. i kernel s included in the rom that you have downloaded and only needs to be extracted,
his problem now is that he lost his efs and doesnt have it anymore. you need your efs in order to flash CM10 because the updater script checks for certain files

Hi guys,
I used this method to root my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Everything seems to work fine, and i just installed my first rom (ginger mod), i would like to ask you:
1. Every time i install a new rom, i'll do a wipe for secerity reasons, but by doing this, how come everything i had on the phone doesn't dissapear, like pictures? Doesn't wipe mean factory reset = remove everything on the phone?
2. Every time i install a new rom, does the older one get removed automatic or do they stay left on the phone, if so how do i remove the old stuff?
3. I know this may sound stupid, but do i have the same root every time i install new rom? Because i noticed when i install new rom and i went i to recovery mode i see new color on the Meny, that's normal?
4. Which app is good for beginners to start with, like Rom's and doing backup, which of these should i purchase: titanium backup, rom manager P, rom toolbox P.
thanks guys,
1. Internal SD card data remains. Can't tell you why it just does.
2. Old Rom is replaced. No need to remove it.
3. Each Rom has its own kernel. That kernel may or may not be rooted.
4. Titanium backup. Also do backup via CWM.

Thank you for the quic answers,
1. when you're talking about the CWN, do you mean the one in the Rom manager?
2. So each rome, has their own root theme if i understood this correctly, so i don't need to worrie about re-rooting the device or something like that, because each rom has their own theme and meny?
3. which rom do you use and why, do you think that ginger-mod is good?
thanks again.

One you did a backup with your ClockWorkMod recovery, you can experiment as much as you wish. You can go with various TouchWiz-based roms. You can try CyanogenMod or MIUI, which are completely different. And if you don't like them, just restore the backup.

1.Ok guys, i soon understand everything. I never did a backup on any roms. Here's the deal. When i first rooted the device, i used this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
2.I also got the CWM app with this root, and superuser( which i dont know what this do), but now when i installed Ginger-mod, suddenly i don't have the CWM app anymore, which i guess is normal?
3.So please can you explain this for me. Lets say i have ginger-mod now, but i decide i want to install CM7 now, but before i do this, i'll have to do a backup of the ginger-mod if something goes wrong with the CM7, am i right so far?
So i'll have to install this CWM app (where i find it?) and make a backup, and then try a new rom. But if i make a wipe before installing new rom, wont the CWM app dissapear or something like that? Or if i install new rom again, will the CWM app be gone again?
I know my English grammer isn't that great, but i'll hope you understood me anyway.

The CWM app is a manager for the ClockWorkMod-recovery. The ClockWorkMod-recovery is a replacement for the stock Android-recovery. You enter the recovery by shutting your device down, holding volume-up and home and then pressing the power-button until you see the galaxy s2 logo. The CWM-app does not give you root-rights, in fact, it requires root-rights to work properly.
The SuperUser app gives you the root-rights. On OS' like Linux (and of course Android) there is one user called "root" (or superuser). He is basically what the Administrator was for Windows before Vista, having full access to everything.
The superuser-app manages what apps get root-permissions. You'll notice when it happens, because whenever an app wants to gain root-permissions, you'll see the superuser-app popping up and asking you if this is OK.
The fact that you don't have the CWM-App is no problem, as it just manages the recovery. The recovery itself does not need additional apps to be installed.

Enter the cwm-recovery (already said how you do this). You'll find various menus. One of them is the "Backup and Restore"-menu. You'll just create a backup to your internal or external sdcard (as you wish). When it is completed (without errors), you can safely flash any other rom. If you want to come back, you just enter cwm again and restore the backup.
You don't have to create a backup, but it's always good to have one of a working system.

As I already said, you don't need the app. If your kernel does not provide it (it's just not there from the start), live with it. Everything you do in this app will just start the cwm-recovery anyway.
The ClockWorkMod-recovery is the "standard" for custom-roms. You can be sure that, if you flash another rom, it will have it too. And if your Rom does not come with CWM (like a stock-rom), you can just flash a kernel with cwm again (like Siyah).
Hope this clears things up for you. If you have any more questions (even if you think they're stupid) ask us here. It's better to ask twice, than to break something.
Happy new year!

thank you, you explained everything perfect. I think i can manage figure out the rest by my self. Just one last question:
I noticed to good programs, and where you also could do a backup for your rom's and much more:
# Rom manager (Premium)
# Root toolbox (Pro)
Which one of these would you suggest for a beginner friendly UI and settings, do you use one of these?
thanks, and happy new year.
You don't need them. The ROM-manager is just an app like the cwm-app. It handles your ClockWorkMod-recovery. It does nothing itself. Once you click create backup, your phone will reboot into the ClockWorkMod-recovery, which will do the job.
However for the ROM-manager to work, you need to install the ClockWorkMod-recovery that shops with it. Just stick with the version of your kernel. This avoids confusion.
Besides that the ClockWorkMod-recovery is beginner-friendly. Just don't touch any options, you don't know what they do.
I recommend you to get a kernel with the latest recovery. The Siyah-kernel. It is compatible to practically every ROM out there. Just reflash the kernel after you flash a ROM.

You have been veryhelpful, i've learned a few things now thanks to you. Just some last questions then i'm fine.
1. I've downloaded Siyahkernal from his website http://www.gokhanmoral.com/ and as you see, i can choose between TAR, and Zip (download), which one of them is it that i put under the PDA in Odin? Or it doesn't matter which i download?
2. So after every Rom install i make, i install Siyah-kernal, let's say i installed Ginger-Mod, and this mod has Darkknight kernal, and now i install Siyah, will Siyah replace the other kernal, or will those 2 stick with eachother?
3. Just so i don't make any misstakes, installing kernal, is like installing root for the first time right? Meaning = 1, Put phone into download mode. 2.Put the kernal file in PDA 3. Press start?
4. I've noticed that there's a new version av Siyah 2.6.4, is this stable, and have he released it for download yet, because i couldn't find it?
Thanks for every answer you giving me. I feel much safer allready =).

No idea read the siyah thread .
No point asking is anything stable its development forum and as 2.6.3 was only released two days ago i guess not .
Stable = stock .
Once you start you have to be prepared for problems though 90% do not have a problem some do .
Rooting or Custom rom voids warranty .

I started to notice another problem.
Sometimes CWM wont recognize my external SD, example: I have put kernal, and roms in it, and when i want to flash these, i only get "no files found". And sometimes it work, but often it wont.
What can i do about this?
Sometimes cwm mistakes the internal for the external. Just take the other option.
Besides that, better update to Siyah 2.6.4. The ClockWorkMod there is more reliable.

Could someone with a Jelly Bean ROM, or more specifically Slim Bean on their Vibrant tell me if their voice search works as it should.
Mine listens to what I have to say, loads up the browser, but doesn't actually initiate the search?
FWIW, all other voice actions work, eg: "Send text to xyz" or "Call xyz Home" etc...
Stoked with this ROM (2.9) now that I've sorted out a lot of intricacies, but still finding a few bugs...
Thanks in advance. :cyclops:
Try installing the JB4.2 gapps instead: http://d-h.st/sPL (this patch makes gps stop working on SlimBean rom)
You can also do this manually:
Delete the /system/lib/Velvet.apk and the /system/lib/libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so.
Reboot, then install Google Search from the Play Store.

Flashed the file and it fully broke search and also broke the clock LOL. Had to Nandroid back.
I'll try the manual method...
EDIT - I actually don't have either of those two files in /system/lib ??
Just flashed the newly released Slim Bean 3.0 and all is fixed. This makes me very happy :laugh:
The Velvet.apk is the actual Google Search app, usually in /system/app if its installed permanently in the system. The lib file is in the /system/lib folder, without it Google Search will not work. When you install Google Search app from the PlayStore, it extract the lib folder to an appropriate folder.
But anyway good that you solved the issue.

Yep, Slim 3.0 fixed this issue, but broke my GPS which has been solid on every ROM this phone has run up to this point. Not sure what happened there?

Thanks man. I already have that patch flashed. It does make some difference, without it I now don;t even get the GPS icon come up in the notification bar. With the patch the icon comes up (with the dot flashing) but zero sats in sight/in use
I'm kind of stuck now, this ROM is perfect apart from GPS, I can Nandroid back to 2.9, it had solid GPS but a few other problems, I've also tried flashing Paranoid and CM10 and both come unglued with a status 7 error I can.t get past
I don't have any problem with it on my Vibrant and Galaxy Nexus. Can you try wiping data and cache, then format /system partition, then reflash everything.
To flash other roms you need them to have the compatible version of CWM. So flash the rom once and you will get Status 7, don't reboot but flash it again immediately and it should reboot the phone into a boot loop. Then pull battery and boot back into CWM, you will be in a new version of CWM. Flash the rom the third time and it should work.

I can never get to the bootloop stage, just the status 7 over and over. It's a bit odd.

If you must, Odin back to stock, update it to CM7, then to ICS Passion rom, then to a JB rom.
Or you can just flash a kernel first, reboot recovery and flash the ROM. I would try semaphore 2.5.0v

That did it. Kernel flashed straight in and then the ROM just punched its way straight in :cyclops:
I don't quite understand why flashing the bare kernel first should make a difference but it certainly does.
And hello GPS! Went from dead in the water to locking within 10 seconds indoors?
Safe to say I'll be sticking with this ROM unless I find something really broken in it.
Thanks Guys.
The error was because of recovery mismatch. Some people don't get the error from it, it will just flash a d bootloop. Flashing the kernel first, gives you the proper recovery version.

Hello all
I have searched all over but have not found any similar problems.
I rooted my phone and installed CWM and would like to install a custom rom that exists for Gingerbread 2.3.6 (I flashed back to stock OS), I have found the rom that I seem to like a lot (Atomic rom) however when I put the .zip file into my external sd and use rom manager to install the rom it turns off, then the phone boots back up... Any ideas about what is happening? Maybe I do not have everything rom manager needs?
I am definitely not ready to flash the new rom using odin, unless you put the .zip file into PDA section and hit "Start" when the phone is in download mode... from the forums I read it is not as easy as installing the stock OS
Thanks in advance!

you leave so many questions unanswered here. you have provided some information here, but not the vital info and the last part is very confusing.
im sorry, I know you are new here, but you lead me to ask some very generic questions....................
are you in the right forum for the right phone? this is for the Note1
I only ask this because I cant even find any GB ROMS for this phone. the Note 1 has been updated to official JB. I would and I am sure you would hate to flash wrong files to wrong phone and wind up with a BRICK.
I am not trying to make it sound as if you don't even know what phone you have, but you would not be the first to flash wrong and kill your phone.
may I suggest you read up in the "Super Everything Thread", which is in the General Forum. you will find exactly that, EVERYTHING, there. Odin is no big deal and super easy to use. also most don't even use CWM or ROM MANAGER anymore. TWRP is now the RECOVERY of choice and much more user friendly.
there are also many YOUTUBE tutorals that can walk you through. but first, lets make sure you are in the right place.
your phone is a ???????? NOTE 1
you carrier is ?????? att, tmo, ver, sprint

you leave so many questions unanswered here. you have provided some information here, but not the vital info and the last part is very confusing.
im sorry, I know you are new here, but you lead me to ask some very generic questions....................
are you in the right forum for the right phone? this is for the Note1
I only ask this because I cant even find any GB ROMS for this phone. the Note 1 has been updated to official JB. I would and I am sure you would hate to flash wrong files to wrong phone and wind up with a BRICK.
I am not trying to make it sound as if you don't even know what phone you have, but you would not be the first to flash wrong and kill your phone.

Sorry about that... I have the Samsung Galaxy Note i717 for AT&T and I am running Gingerbread 2.3.6
I thought that if a rom could run on GB it could run on any phone that has GB but your response has lead me to know that it also depends on what phone I'm running, so thanks!
I'll go and double check to see if the rom I tried to install was for the note... I guess I'm lucky I didn't brick my phone when I tried flashing the other 2 rome xD... Gonna count my blessings tonight lol

don't need to apologize to me for anything. the more information the better. not only are there so many phones out there, there are variations of those phones that have gotten people in trouble.
you have the North American version
International version
Korean version
different internals and wont all take same ROM. just be careful my friend.

I am looking into this rom, looks pretty interesting. Flashing the "AT&T fix" though, do I put that on my SD card also?
Update: For some reason I can not install rome
I am not sure what I am doing wrong because I have Rom manager do everything when I put the .zip file on my SD card and the phone restarts like normal, I even tried doing it manually in cwm recovery. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. And this rom I know for sure is meant for GB and the i717.
Any suggestions? Thanks again
You mean it's a gb rom meant for the i717 galaxy note....... I think you may be a little mixed up on what a rom is and what your actually doing...... Explain in detail what exact steps your doing when your flashing the rom so someone can help you.

I appreciate your patience
Step 1: I put the downloaded .zip rom (saurom) into my external sd card in a special folder I named Roms
Step 2: I fire up Rom manager and go to "Install ROM from SD Card"
Step 3: Go to folder containing the Saurom .zip file and select it
Step 4: Make sure "Backup Existing Rom" and "Wipe Data and Cache" are selected
Step 5: Hit "Reboot And Install"
The phone will then turn off and restart like normal, I check but the rom did not install. I honestly have no idea how I'm screwing up lol
Do you have a custom recovery installed....

You have to understand this as well, the ROMS do not install in conjunction or within the current Stock ROM. They replace them. So as stated above you have to make sure you have CWM or TWRP installed and boot directly to the custom recovery. Then wipe your data/system/cache/dalvik and after all of that install the ROM of choice.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525341
The very first thing listed in this topic is how to install Saurom. No where does it say to try and do it through ROM Manager.
Maybe that is where your hiccup is coming from?
No further instructions needed good luck and happy flashing

Alright so I forgot that I had to wipe the data/system / cache / dalvik
But even when I tried that just now and went into installing the .zip file it said that the installation failed, is it because cwm was removed when I wiped the device?
Update your recovery to twrp 2.6

Gets rid of status 7 error that makes it unable to flash.

haha, only problem is that the rom hit an error anyways so I'm still lost at what I am doing wrong...
Another question, when I reset all of the settings and stuff before I flash the rom, wouldn't that get rid of titanium back up? then how would I restore my apps and data?
Yes you are right... But first stick your phone in the freezer for 2hrs...then microwave it for 3 mins... It will cause your recovery to reconstruct and see your internal storage enabling developer options to be on... Then hit the rom installer button.

For those who are new to the threads and looking to replace gingerbread for a newer version there is a good solution that has very few bugs, and that can be stable for everyday use. CAUTION THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. DO A STOCK ROM INSTALL TO GET IT BACK
Lets get started. Were going to be upgrading to Jell bean 4.2.
You need to make sure you install the clock work mod (CWM) on you stock gingerbread rom. To do this you need Odin and a stock rom with CWM. You can find the stock rom here .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863004
Next we flash it with Odin. Please search and read up on using Odin. Download Odin, start Odin. Before you connect your player make sure it is off. Then hold the down button and hold the power button. You should go into download mode. Now connect the player to your computer. Odin will recognize it.
Once it has Flashed your player you now have CWM.
Go get a 4.2 rom for galaxy player 5.0 ----- For the time being, Slim Bean 4.2 is Recommended ---------
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2298872
Once you have your rom, you need a kernel. This kernel is the lastest. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466434
If you want google apps and store they can be found here. Under Gapps Core. 4.2.2
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kifcelekch235kz/wOT7RHcO4m
You have you Rom and Kernel and Gapps now, put them onto an SD card.
Hold down the UP button and Hold the Power button. You should go into a recovery menu (CWM)
---- Do factory reset/ wipe data.
----- Do Wipe Cache.
----- Go to advanced and wipe delvik cache.
INSTALL
Go to install from SD Card or Install ZIP
Find Your rom Zip and Install it.
Find Gapps Zip and install it.
Find the kernel Zip and install it.
Reboot and Enjoy the upgrade.

Hey, I bought a refurbished GP5 and a 2 year squaretrade warranty. So if I ever need to get it serviced with ST just reflash it to GB 2.3.5?
This is AMAZING!!! Thank you, can't wait to do this this weekend. You Rock!!!!!

That is correct, just be sure if you reflash back to a stock rom that if its rooted you unroot it before sending it in. I would write down the build version so when you look for a stock rom again its the right one for your version. Theres USA, International, and a few others. Each stock rom has a build version. For USA its G70UEKI8.
More stock versions can be found on the link below

Would Odin version 3.09 be the best to use? I'm a little murky about the CWM part of the process. One last question. Once done I can buy/download anything from Google Play and run it?

I imagine version 3.09 would work, I haven't used Odin in awhile now. Once you put the player into download mode and connect it to your PC Odin will reconize it and one of the small windows will turn yellow. You select PDA, and locate the .tar file of the CWM stock rom. DO NOT CHECK REPARTITON OPTION. And hit start, it should go through loading the rom and turn green saying pass when finished.
After you have installed everything you can make purchases while the Play store. Log in with your google account works fine. And you can run any app you choose like the normal stock rom.

Okay I did the CWM on my SGP.
Now I need to wait for my SD card or can I go to 4.2 without?
Also I have the following files.
Slim-venturi_usa-4.2.2.build.7.5-UNOFFICIAL-20130727-0459
Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.8
Sultan-kernel-Venturi-r6b2-US
GApps Core 4.2.2
I need to install all of those? Any particular order?
Thanks!

You put all those files on your SD card and in CWM select install zip from SD card.
The order goes
1. Slim-venturi_usa-4.2.2.build.7.5-UNOFFICIAL-20130727-0459
2. Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.8
3. GApps Core 4.2.2
4. Sultan-kernel-Venturi-r6b2-US
Before you do this you should do a factory wipe, and cache wipe. A delvik wipe is also good, its located in the advanced section in CWM.
I recently found out that if you don't first install CM9 your external and internal SD cards can get mixed up. This really dosent bother me but if it will bother you then look into first installing the CM9 rom, then moving to Slim bean.
Okay I did the update to 4.2.2. Problem, I see no google apps or google play market. It asks me if I want to import or restore some Nova backup..

Is there a way to get rid of "Import from another Launcher" and "Restore previous Nova Backup"?
Another couple questions, hopefully not too many more. After upgrade I no longer see FM radio. I see its supposed to have Spirit FM but I don't see it. Also if I decided to go back to stock do I just go into developer mode and restore 2.3.5 through Odin?

I don't understand this, if you use nova, then having this option is normal I don't think you can remove it.

Hi everyone. This is my first post...anyways, been playing around with a gt-i9100 and have flashed many ROMs successfully. The latest (and best) being slim saber. I THOUGHT it was soooo easy! Haha! Wrong! Recently flashed the experimental cm11. Did the customary cwm backup, wiped cacheband partition, formatted, and wiped dalvik. Installed and Booted up fine. From reading that thread I'm experiencing the same common problems. The two worst are the battery level is out of whack and cwm can't read the SD card or micro SD. Smaller problems include can't adjust screen brightness and any apps on SD get deleted after reboot. Other smaller issues also. The overall speed is great and battery life is better than 4.3 ROMs.
Now, the real problem...because cwm can't read SD, I can't go reinstall my backup, which was my plan. Unable to flash new because downloads also go to sd, which is unreadable. Performed a backup of the current rom and its going to the phone memory. Is there anyway to move my nanadroid backup or new ROM there so cwm can see it and I can flash or any other suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Man Jim, u gonna hate me lol. Unfortunately apolo 6.1 is a zip file, and as far as my research has gone, no way to convert it to tar for odin flash. any other suggestions?

LOL - I forgot!! I think there is a tar file for 4.1 - use that, or use latest dori (either 8.43 or 9.43) it doesn't matter which because you will be re installing your back up which will have its own recovery img.

Hey Jim I got it fixed using dori! Funny because the latest 4.4 addressed both of my major issues...stubborn me decided to try it out and I gotta say its pretty good! Stable but just a few broken apps and small issues. Gonna five it a try as a daily driver...thanks again!!!!
use odin to flash tar and then install and older rom which is functional with the sdcard. and then flash back your backups.
