Help needed getting Touchwiz 4 on SGS.

Hello there.
I am having trouble trying to get the new TouchWiz 4.0 onto Samsung Galaxy S.
More like I have no idea, do I have to root my device?
I am running android 2.2.1, flashed from odin. Do I need 2.3?
Basically I would like set of simple instructions on doing this.
All help is appreciated.

I have been reading all the relevant threads, but its hard for me to make sense of it.

read read read! if you read, u even know how to root!

You need to be on 2.3.3, XWJVB. You need to be rooted and have deodexed XWJVB installed via ClockWorkMod (CWM) for TouchWiz 4 to work.
I'll write you a little guide:
1. Get XWJVB (2.3.3) from samfirmware.com. To register, click this link.
2. Get XWJVB from samfirmware.com. Click this link and find XWJVB in the relevant list (it's separated into continents, so look in the list for your relevant continent).
3. Download XWJVB and flash it via Odin. Since you say you've flashed via Odin before, I won't list it here. Besides, there are lots of 'HOW-TO: Flash via Odin' guides on XDA.
4. Follow this guide to root your phone (this is necessary for the next step). WARNING: YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY BY DOING THIS STEP. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE FULL IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE GOING AHEAD.
5. Reboot into CWM and wipe the data from your phone. Also wipe cache.
6. Staying in CWM, download and flash this ROM to your phone. (It's stock XWJVB, but deodexed and zipaligned). Note: before flashing, you will have to extract the zip file from the downloaded exe. To do this, simply press the exe and press extract on the window that appears. It will then extract the zip file, which you then flash to your phone. For more info about this stage, read this post.
7. Repeat step 4. Since this deodexed ROM is new and you wiped the stock ROM you downloaded from samfirmware.com, you need to root the deodexed ROM. Just repeat step 4 and everything will be fine
8. Last but not least, flash TouchWiz 4 to your phone. Download it here, and flash it via CWM. Once this is done, reboot your phone.
9. You should now be on TouchWiz 4. If you have problems with TouchWiz 4, refer to this thread.

[Q] I would like to downgrade from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 via Odin. Anybody knows?

Guys, my phone is rooted with SuperOneClick. I tried unrooting it with SuperOneClick many times but it's always unsuccessful so the best way is to flash the stock ROM i guess. So i downloaded this firmware from sammobile.com which has version of 2.3.5. Anybody knows how to flash the downgrade using Odin? Because i would like to get back to square one like the first time i bought the phone. Regards.

The best way would be to try the method which works:

Use the rooting method via Recovery.

Wait...it says that unrooting the phone is possible BUT ONLY if i root it via Recovery. I root it with SuperOneClick, so by unrooting via Recovery method do any harm to my phone?
P/S : Do you know how to use Odin?

EDIT: I wrote so much crap in this post, can't believe it.I thought you were trying to root after an update.

THE-E said:
See, you don't have to unroot because you updated the firmware. So root is pretty much vanished.
If you want to get root permission, just use the rooting method via Recovery.
Overview:
SuperOneClick, DoomLord, manual method: works for firmwares below LA2
Rooting via Recovery works, for now, all firmwares: tested til LA2.

P.S.: And yes I know how to use ODIN, but why do you want to flash unnecessarily ?
You have to find the right firmware for your region and at the end I don't see you gaining something.

I do have root on my Wonder bro. That is why i want to flash a new firmware with Odin because i cannot unroot my Wonder. I rooted it with SuperOneClick before. I already downloaded the firmware that has a version of 2.3.5. And yes the region is made known to me before downloading it which is Malaysia.
The firmware that i have downloaded has 2 files :
-MD5 file
-SS_DL.dll*
So now, my problem is how to flash the downloaded firmware with Odin. I would love if you could provide me the instructions(step-by-step). HELP ME bro!

If you already have a firmware, just get the files from Other.

Just a few quetions :
1. Flashing the firmware will remove root, right?
2. The firmware that i downloaded doesn't have the .ops file. It just has the MD5 file. So how do i flash the firmware?
Afraid if i might brick my Wonder.

As posted, you can find all files, also as single file(like the Ancora.OPS) in the thread(3rd post). I can't take you the fear of bricking, beacause there is always a minor chance of bricking. But if you go by the instruction nothing should happen.
I have flashed already several times without an issue.
So be brave, world ends anyway this year ;-)

So you're saying that when i open up the Odin Multi Downloader, i just use the downloaded firmware which is the MD5 file and your .ops file? That's it? What about the .dll file that came with the downloaded firmware? Ignore it?
P/S : World ends this yr bcs it's 2012? HAHA!

Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app

Can you be more specific? Using punctuation marks could make it a lot more understandable.
Also: Please post it in the questions section of the forum, the development section is for roms and mods.

@gtasmodder, try re-installing CWM from Odin again. Will fix your problem. ALSO post in Q/A forum.
Oh, and it is scared, not sacred.

You need to reflash using ODIN on a windows machine.
​Go to this link - it has the instructions on how to flash CWM.
After you have got your phone back up and running you need to update it to the latest version, easiest way is to boot into your ROM, go to Play store and install ROM Manager. Now simply select to update CWM.
Search this forum for Dr.Ketan threads if you need to Root/Install Stock etc.

I was in this position yesterday after a failed DN3 ROM flash.
If you follow these instructions you will be back up and running in no time:...
- Like I mentioned, flash CWM.
- Flash a stock ROM
- Root - either CF or use Dr.Ketan multitool method (search is your friend)
- Install ROM Manager, update CWM to latest
- Install <your chosen ROM> - in my case I am running CM11
Follow the above and you'll be sorted.

I'm not sure if English is you're first language (I sincerely hope not!) so I dont really understand what you have asked there ^
My point is you need to search on this forum.
There are plenty of live threads regarding stock ROM, rooting, flashing with ODIN etc. etc.

with my understanding of your post, your device model is p5210 right?
try to flash new twrp via odin,
here is the file https://mega.co.nz/#!kEUzAS5a!a6TA0xuSg-pEYxSmZxnjmcB7cNOwRCZ_MqMiwXvD65c
I have used this to flash roms and it work out fine. Then try again.
if it does not work out, try to download that file again.
visit this thread for more useful information that might work you out:

if you can, take a pic of that error and your device information under the device settings.

Sometimes it doesn't work on B708. So in order to downgrade, you must first flash B706 ROM and after that, try the method from my post.
I've tested it this way and it work, so download and flash the B706 and after that follow my guide! It must work!
