If any damage occurs to you or your device, I will not be held liable ... you have been warned !!

If you arent sure ... just ask

FLASHING JVU ROM WITH ODIN v1.85
Why ODIN v1.85? ... I have not had any issues with it, plain and simple!

Use ODIN with PIT File

PIT File Incase you need it : DOWNLOAD
*Using PIT File just Tick Re-Partition and put PIT File in PIT ..simple!

ODIN 1.85
ODIN FILES HERE

Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER
Do you get the Yellow Triangle?..If so continue..if not do it again...

VIDEO LINK : HOW TO GET INTO RECOVERY / DOWNLOAD MODE


Open ODIN and select 512 .PIT, and put in your files for : CSC, PDA, MODEM
*PIT File isnt always needed to do this only if you get the 3 Red errors*

Plug in Phone with USB Cable To Computer
In ID:COM it should go yellow and you should see ADDED in the message box

Check Re-Partition option and then Cleck PIT button to select: s1_odin_20100xxx.pit file.
Click PDA button and select : CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
Click PHONE button and select: MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar
Click CSC button and select: GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar

When you have all the files needed in ODIN, say JVU Rom as thats what we are using here
Click Start let it Run
Once complete you will see S logo on phone (computer will make a few noises like connect/disconnecting
Unplug the Cable to the Phone
Power Off Phone

Go into Download mode so that we can now root the Phone
Then plug in Phone

Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted
CF-Root is in ODIN FILES or DOWNLOAD HERE
Then Click START.. should take just a few seconds ....



Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Cable
Close ODIN

Now, 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

Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone
Window should open up showing your phone Directory..
Copy over your ROM that you want
Shut Down Phone

Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)

Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition

Go to Advanced > OK

Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats

Go Back > OK

To move Up or Down > Use the Left Side Volume Rocker Switches with Menu to OK Action

Install your Custom ROM from Zip Card that you want...

Reboot Phone when complete... DONE!

Please Check APN Settings.. for your area after you have done the following steps to give better signal
Sometimes Authentication Type is set to Default..try it at PAP and then Reboot Phone
As some ROMS APN settings are done manually for the user.. so be careful

Rom I am currently using : Blue SAUROM JWB

Hope this helps out a few people as there are quite a few posts opening up with the same problems or issues :good:

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"
