Thanks! Now it's some colourful fireworks thing hahaha. Waiting for it to load.

Nice Then your RC8 is ready to run then


How I flashed my phone to Cranium RC8:

*Please be advice that if you flash your phone, your warranty will be voided. -Refer to the first post of this topic for more info- and I am not responsible for any bricked devices, dead SD cards*

Make sure you remove your external SD card and sim card when you do this. Make sure your phone is fully charged as well to avoid problems. Lastly, backup all your backup data as well and make a nandroid backup.

Also make sure you fully read and understand the instructions stated below. The link to the guide on how to use Odin is provided below. Please ask if you have problems understanding any of the instructions stated.

1. Boot phone into download mode (Press volume down + power button + home button)
2. Plug in cable and connect to PC.
3. Flash phone using ZSKP6 ROM via Odin.
4. Done a factory reset through recovery mode.
5. Root your phone (I'll link the instructions at below) and install Busybox Installer from the market. Make sure you run the app and press "Install".

(To enter recovery mode, off your phone, press volume up + power button until the samsung logo came up for like 2-3 seconds and release it. After that when you see the "android out of box" picture, press the menu button (left of home button) to enter settings. Select factory reset using volume up (for up) and volume down (for down). After done factory reset get to step 3.)

6. Install FeaMod Recovery 1.2 via Odin.
7. Throw in RC8_CWM.zip into internal SD card.
8. Reboot phone into FeaMod Recovery 1.2 (same method as explained below step 3)
9. Choose install zip from sd card (press the menu button to confirm, not home button. if you press the home button and saw the logo only, don't panic, just press the home button again and the list will appear) -> Choose install zip from internal sd card -> Choose RC8_CWM.zip -> Choose install.
10. Leave it there until it's being fully install.

-If your phone stuck at the samsung galaxy s plus logo there (make sure it's really stuck before you do this though), don't panic, just take out your battery, put it in again, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset. After it's done, repeat step 9 and you'll be fine-

AIyahhh..read posts from u guys, make me wonder, what happen if i flash my phone without back up it first?
I flashed already, and not do any backup at all.Is it okay? And is it possible for me to revert the previous rom which come like the first time i use this phone?
scared already about its warranty...aiyahhh~~

You can always find stock rom and flash back using odin. Just make sure you still had your phone details (*#1234#) or know which ROM you're using previously.

Stock ROMs can be found here.

flash back Asian rom before claim warranty.

Phhewww...almost forgot my previous rom but by looking from list, came across the correct one...Okay, thanks guys for helpin...n wanna try cranium after this...

Good xD The Cranium RC8 is quite smooth, worth a try =)

is there a firmware 2.3.6 for S Plus? can update via kies? sorry noobby..

Yes there is. Apparently the latest update available to update via Samsung Kies is I9001DXKJ2 (2.3.5). If you want 2.3.6 you'll have to flash it via Odin.

Still not sure yet but Samsung don't have the intention of releasing the full version of ICS for this model. I read a article where they say we'll get something "near to ICS but not ICS", so I think maybe they'll be upgrading the UI only. You can sign the petition here and hope that they actually will release ICS for i9001.

For unofficial, it seems that a dev is already working a port ICS to i9001 but still in progress so we'll have to wait

Cheers.


Ahhh ! Okay~~ Thanks a lot!!

Well, since the original android recovery is being replaced by "FeaMod Recovery", therefore, use the same method to enter FeaMod (Press Volume Up + Power Button until samsung logo came up for like 2-3 sec and release) and there's a little changes for choosing the options, press the menu button for confirmation instead of the home button. If you accidentally pressed the home button and the screen only shows the FeaMod logo, just press the home button again to get the list show. That's how you do it

P/S : Sry for late replying, was doing house cleaning since 1 more week CNY already LOL!
