I've been following this thread as I thought it may help solve a problem I have with a Galaxy S. The battery icon always shows as full.

Followed everything on this thread and other info I needed, such as changing the kernel cos this one wouldn't run unsigned files.
Everything went great till I installed the Darkyrom. The phone displays the model as normal and the green powered by Darkcore stuff and thats' it, doesn't boot up.

Trying to find a way now to restore the backup I have saved.
Can't think of what I did wrong.

Sorry Dibbers, not trying to hijack your thread. Just hoping you don't make the same mistake as me.

cant help you with the battery problem mate, but if you made a full backup just boot into cwm recovery and im sure theres a backup/restore option iirc, find the backup and flash it and all should be well...

Can't find how I'm gonna do it Big-Hol.
I followed the instructions for installing Darkyrom and I reckon my backup was deleted when I configured Darkyota to wipe data.
The backup in the recovery mode is a dark one, 10.3.2 or something.

I have a copy of my backup on my pc, but how to get it on the phone is the problem.

Stick the sd card in your pc and copy the file over to the root of the card

I made a mistake, the backup isn't Darkyrom. Its' a darkyrom cwm recovery program.
Seems to run the backup ok apart from it skips the sd-ext image as it cannot be found. Then says' restore is complete.

Reboot and the problem is still there.
I'm looking at a way to restore to stock using odin at the moment.

Got to admit though, I'm having fun. A good learning curve, like back in the good old cable days.

its technically not doing anything then mate, as its looking for the image file (backup) and trying to flash it, but because it cant find it its just restarting, hence why its not doing anything.. id say download a stock rom from samfirmware for your device and use odin to flash back to stock, then try again from there, its great messing about with them and aslong as ya have cwm installed then ya can always flash back via that or use odin, theres a few decent guides on samfirmware for using odin too last time i looked, as ya need to make sure ya put the right files in the right places before ya start flashing... all good fun though! iv been toying with the idea with my new sgs2 for a couple of days now but the official ics 4 is due out on the 15th, see if i can last that long.... lol.... keep us posted mate!

Cheers Big-Hol. I've already looked at using odin and have downloaded my original stock firmware from samfirmware.
Download only contained 2 files, a .tar file and a dll.
Gotta work out where the other files come from, lol.

Be tomorrow now though, mate just brought me a bottle of Scotch round for a favour I did him.
Time to take a break and put my feet up.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S and ROOTING / MOD? Which one do I use? root Galaxy S clock work

Story so far is that I have nearly got this phone back to stock, using Odin.
I say nearly because I kept getting a runtime error pop up on the screen. Swopping the sim cleared this problem. One mistake I have found was that I did not remove the sim while trying to install darky, seems to have killed it, lol.

Thought I would try it all over again. Rooted the phone, installed Rom manager, changed the kernel version to 2e and now the wifi connection won't find anything.
Still not a problem cos I know I have to return it fully to stock again cos I found the phone has no partition. Looks as though I should have added one of those pit files that come with Odin and tick the partition box.

Put the phone on charge before I enter round 3 of this contest. I'm glad these phones appear to be indestructible cos it ain't mine, pmsl
