Installing custom Rom on Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001

As it took me a couple of days to get my phone working with a custom ROM, I decided to write down what I did and put it on my blog... There is so much documentation to be found and I followed like tens of different guides for installing a custom ROM. I tried 4 different ROMS, but the one that was finally workibng was BroodRom RC3. I found it on XDA Developers, but the way I succeeded was slightly different from the one that was described over there...


Installing Broodrom RC3:
  1. Root phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001
    Put Root-i9001-Signed.zip into internal sdcard
    1. Reboot into recovery mode by turning on the phone while pressing Volume Up and Power Button
    2. As soon as the "Android out of the Box" appears, press the Menu button
    3. Use Volume buttons to choose "apply update from sdcard" in the recovery menu.
    4. Press Home button to submit.
    5. Use Volume buttons to choose Root-i9001-Signed.zip on sdcard
    6. Press Home button to start update.
    7. Choose "reboot system now" and press Home button to reboot your phone.
  2. Backup phone with Samsung Kies
  3. Install broodrom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396837
1.       If you have CWM installed: format all partitions. If you don't have CWM installed do a Hard Reset (*2767*3855#) Note: A hard reset also wipes your sdcard, make sure you got it backed up
Note: A format or hard reset is not always needed, you can always try keeping your data and flashing broodROM RC3, wiping dalvik cache is still needed tho
2.       Put your phone in download mode (when off hold: vol -, home, power)
3.       Start Odin, Choose AriesVE.ops file, check "One Package", choose: "broodROMRC3.tar.md5" > Click Start
4.       Wait till the process is complete, now your phone will reboot and show you recovery mode, press the home button > press the menu button then wait for the update to complete > press the home button again
5.       Now your phone will reboot again and show you the boot screen, it will turn black after a while, don't freak out this is normal
6.       When your phone booted choose your language and turn your phone off, put it in download mode again (when off hold: vol -, home, power)
7.       Now restart Odin and do the same as step 3 but then choose "broodROMRC3_KERNEL.tar.md5" > Click Start
8.       After the installation of the kernel wait till the phone is booted
9.       Now make an usb connection to your pc and put the "broodROMRC3_Configuration.zip" file on your sdcard
10.   Now long press the power button to show the Extended Power Menu, Choose "Recovery" to reboot in CWM Recovery
NOTE: IF YOUR PHONE ISN’T BOOTING IN RECOVERY MODE AND IT ALWAYS GETS STUCK ON THE LOGO “ANDROID OUT THE BOX” THEN INSTALL FEAMOD RECOVERY 1.1 OR 1.2 first:

11.   Once in recovery, go to "Install zip from sdcard" > "Choose zip from internal sdcard" > "broodROMRC3_Configuration.zip"
12.   Wait for the update to complete then choose "Reboot system now".
13.   Go to the Market and download "Script Manager" then follow the image
