I'll try doing that... but what is weird is that it reset during the installation, almost at the same point for all the versions i tried

Finally did it! By removing the sd card it still failed at the installation from CWR, but started installing again after booting (Build 9)
Yeah, the same thing happened to me. It seemed to have some option dependent on the external SD that was fixed by removing it and using Team Hacksung build 9.
Installed onecosmic rc1. Worked great no fcs at all. Everyone should try it.

ICS 4.0.3 RC2.11 upgrade on Bell Samsung Galaxy S I9000M
Hi:
Just expressing my gratitude for your time in putting the files/links and HOWTO info. Used your info in transit from Gingerbread GKG3 -> your ROM with CWM and rooted kernel to apply ICS 4.0.3 RC2.11 by Onecosmic.
Only glitch I encoutered was after applying ICS it rebooted and showed the flying disks in color as part of boot but would not come up clean. So I powered off hard and did the 3 button combo to go into CWM recovery and wiped data + caches and rebooted. Up she came. Phone working (Text, phone, camera, etc.). Only issue encountered is with bluetooth and USB connections (outstanding issues).
thx for your time spent

Did you flash the latest face unlock zip from the ics thread?? And search xda for the latest swipe and install...
I'm not on ICS yet because its only in alpha stages.. so I'm probably not much help to you if what I suggested doesn't work ask in the team hacksung thread

Thanks. I did download the face unlock.zip. When I try to open the program it says settings has closed. I will keep working at it though.

38[HOWTO] Flashing CWRecovery to i9000m & upgrade to ICS AOSP 4.x ROM from any version
Seems like there's little or no love for the i9000m here since I've left this section of the forum.
I'm still getting a lot of PMs by members of this section.
Apparently a lot of people had their questions gone unanswered, so here it is at last.
If you have the i9000m or any of the i9000 variants that have the extra letter, all you need to do is flash a stock i9000 ROM with Odin
...think about it, after all chances are if you want to install CWR, you'll be flashing Custom ROMs that are made for the i9000
so, why do it the hard way when resources for specific models like i9000m or i9000b are so hard to come by, instead do it the easy way use the i9000 resources that are available everywhere
Requirements:
- Odin software
- CF-root v3.7 JVP http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12651359&postcount=6
- JVP ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913
- KG3 / CM7 modem http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16528528&postcount=45
ICS flavour to choose from:
- AOSP ice-cream-sandwich-sgs http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-sandwich-sgs/
- Teamhacksung CM9 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363593
Odin flash back to stock in case sheet! happens
Flashing Root and CWR via Odin:
- Boot into Download mode (3 buttons salute)
- run Odin
choose only these 3 parts
PIT = 512
PDA = CODE_I9000XXJVP_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC = GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5 - flash it (Start)
note: you do not need to change your KG3 modem for Canada
- wait for it to finish rebooting, and skip all those steps in the 1st time phone wizard
- reboot back into download mode again
- close your previous session of Odin
- run a new session of Odin
- select PDA
- select CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar
- flash it (Start)
- it will reboot again
- Congratulation! if all went well you should see these in your App drawer screen
- to make sure it actually works, go into CWManager, and select ClockworkMod
- select reboot into recovery
- if all goeswell you should be inside the orange ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5
Flashing ICS AOSP ROM
if you followed all the above to this point, might as well have fun and load ICS, but first...
- in CWR make a Nandroid backup of your stock JVP with KG3 modem
- in CWR select backup and restore
- select backup in the sub menu, i'll take about a minute or two to complete
- it will automatically go back to the main menu in CWR when it's done with the backup
- select mounts and storage
- select mount USB storage in the sub menu
- now copy & paste the ICS ROM to your phone, and optionally the Google Apps, face unlock, etc
- select unmount
- select +++++Go Back+++++
- select wipe data/factory reset
- select wipe cache partition
- select install zip from sdcard
- select choose zip from sdcard
in my case i installed these:
- ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip (AOSP) or teamhacksung_galaxysmtd-ota-eng.BUILD7.zip ("CM9")
- gappsv5.1.zip - optionally you can also install
- face-unlockv5-final.zip
- FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update-Beta2.zip
- bd-ics-bootanimation-flashable.zip - after the flash it will reboot on its own, let it do its ICS magic
Enjoy!8Troubleshooting
if your upgrade to ICS fail
do not despair...
just repeat the Odin steps to get back to KG3 stock + CWR
and flash another ICS build
also if you see the dreadful Phone-Warning-PC screen of death
just hold the 3 key salute buttons to go back, with the USB cable plugged in, to go back to Download mode and flash back to KG3 stock22
