Requirements

You need to create a backup for your device. Then your GT-I9000 has to have a firmware better known as XXJW4 on it. Once you made sure there is such an element on your phone, root it, but keep in mind that this is going to void the device’s warranty. A quick downgrading to the stock ROM will bring it back, though.

The next step is this one: get a custom recovery image. Among other requirements, you must realize that the battery on your Galaxy S GT-I9000 has to be fully charged.
