I have flashed a couple roms to my phone I take all the right steps flashing back to stock rom first and all. But any rom I flash after a day my phone starts vibrating and resets it self. Can some one help.
You need to post more info....what rom, what are you restoring after flashing, what are you doing when the problem occurs..
I was flashing cognition 2.3b6, even happens with regular froyo rom. When it resets I'm not doing anything. Just vibrates and resets.
Obviously something is causing your soft reboots.....this can be caused by many things but should not occur unless something is being modified such framework or you are restoring something from 2.1 that is not compatible with 2.2
After you flash to 2.2, what steps do you take, ie do you use titanium backup to restore apps and/or data? Are you applying any mods such as custom battery?
No I don't use nothing besides the rom. I even formatted my card.
Confused then....i have flashed many different roms including cog and have not had problems unless I do something that causes it
I would try a different rom....axura is great, the i9000 ports are nice as well.
Sorry I cannot help more
Before you flash, try wiping the dalvik cache. See if that helps.
Swyping...please read slowly!
don't know how to do that is that the same as the user catch.

In CWM, under advanced. Take a gander.
I have recently flashed the JVS firmware from samsung firmware, and then followed that up with this CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS, flashing via the PDA section in ODIN. My phone has been working perfectly for a few days, no problems at all, until right now when I've gone to restart the phone.. I was having troubles with the market, and I turned my phone off mid-download of an app.. I'm pretty sure it was mid-download and not mid-installation of it..
However, when I turn my phone back on, it'll show the Galaxy S I9000 screen, then go to the next screen with the glowing S, however after that, it just gives a quick, short vibration, and seems to turn off, then do it all over again..
What does this mean? Is there a way I can get out of it without re-flashing the entire firmware? I am still able to get into download mode, but I don't want to lose messages that I have saved on my phone..
Any help is greatly appreciated..

Ok, so I let the phone go for a while (around 10 minutes), of the screens cycling through as mentioned above, but now it seems to have actually found a way into the phone, and has now loaded up properly.. However, I'm still interested in what the problem could be on the phone??
are u using new market app?
its happened to me once and i reflashed whole firmware starting from 2.1 to 2.3.5 lol just to avoid sh*t like that
When I had 2.2 on there, I had the new market app, however after flashing 2.3.5, it had the old market, so I was downloading apps from the old market at the time..
What do you mean you re-flashed whole firmware from 2.1?
Anyone else have any ideas?
Try to wipe factory reset and wipe cache or try to flash rom again

Could be a corruption in the bootloader, if it happens again i would reflash. Otherwise just leave it i guess, maybe it was a one off
It happens pretty much all the time now.. I have reflashed the firmware a couple of times.. And it still seems to happen. What would wiping the cache remove? Will I lose any settings or anything that I have on the phone? I have been restoring backups made using titanium, however just apps and data, not system settings..
If it's the bootloader, is there any way of fixing that?
Thanks
Ah that could be the problem. Sometimes when you restore backup they can conflict and thus cause issues like this...
Try only return the data, that works for me. Get app list from the market and after a backup move to external sd. Format internal sd card. Then do an Odin flash with repartition checked. This is designed to get you back to factory state, so you will loose everything. Make sure your backups are not on your internal sd when you format. Also before you flash i think its a good idea to put a copy of your nandroid backup into the internal sd. Or just use a nandroid backup from when you phone was working fine.
Deleting cache does not delete your settings usually, however when deleting dalvick cache it can take up to 30 mins (max i think) to start you phone, but usually its 5/10 mins.
Yes bootloader can be fixed just find a flashable bootloader with a rom or the directions given. Use search for this
Ok thanks for the tips Talon.. Firstly, this nandroid backup that I keep hearing about.. What exactly is that? Is that the backup that I do through Clockwork Mod Recovery? I'm also unsure how to return just the data to apps? I had a look at Titanium Backup, and the only data recovery option is for system data.. Everything else I think I can handle..
Thanks
Yes nandroid backup is the backup through CWM. You should always do one BEFORE you flash anything on your phone. And keep them in a safe place and leave one in your internal sd card.
You should use titanium backup to backup up a single app at a time, not batch. This way you'll have more files and can choose which apps you want to return, and if you only want to return the data. (I have always done it this way, so i dont know if you can pick the apps you want to return if you do backup via batch.). Use the other app i suggested to keep the market links, so you download the app from market first then you install the data once its there.
I suggest you don't return any apps at first see how it goes, then add either a couple or one at a time, again only the app data. (Once you backuo the app individually, flash then, TB, backup/restore press on the app, restore, then pick data only...) If you go from froyo to GB i think you cant do it)
Thank you very much for your reply Talon. I am currently on JVS, and plan to re-flash this exact same firmware, which is the stock firmware, nothing custom..
As for what you've written, it's going to take me a few reads before I can get my head around it, but I just wanted to say thankyou for a quick and detailed reply. I think I might just bite the bullet and figure out which apps I actually use, and just work with them for now..
I'll post back soon hopefully with results.
After getting very frustrated with the phone, I've finally re-flashed back to a seemingly stock situation. Phone is running great, and all problems seem to be gone. Slowly re-downloading apps from the market as I feel that I need them, so I hopefully won't get any interference from the old backups I had..
One more question, how do you make your backups? If you say you don't use the batch mode in Titanium? I can't see any other way that's as easy..
Thanks for your help Talon.
As i said before, backup/restore click on the app you want to back up, and click backup. When you want to restore it, back to the menu, click on the app, click restore, then pick data only longer but safer
Change the location of TB to your exsd if you haven't already, then go to setting find, and it will make it default location
Ahk.. Sounds very time consuming.. lol..
Phone is running like a champ now . Thanks
Hi Guys! I have a Galaxy S1 (I-9000). I've used a custom ICS rom until yesterday, but it was slow, and drained my battery very quick. So I XXJW4 (as far as I know this is the latest official release with value pack), but there are wierd issues (very quick battery draining, wifi disconnecting, doesn't remember my mobile network settings, sluggish browser, etc).
I did the usual stuff like cleaning cache/dalvik/factory reset. Usually I like hacking around with theese things, but now I just want to use my phone, so I would like to restore it to a "very" official state. I'm not sure about the technical details, but afaik some of the update packages are not completely reinstall everything. So what is the correct way to clean my phone so it would look like a brand new one like it has never been modded?
I think I need to repartition. Even if I don't want to change the file systems I would prefer to have a fresh start so no previous data could remain. After that I would need a firmware that contains everything (kernel, bootloader (?), modem, dbdata, factory file system, etc etc) I've already found a lot of roms out there, but I'm not certain witch one will do the job. After I installed the value pack update I realized that dbdata was not part of that package, and I had to find one after googling for a while. So I'd really appreciate some pointers
So that's my story, to sum up the question is how to restore a galaxy s to an older version my making sure everything is completely wiped, overwriten, reinstalled, etc.
Thanks in advance.
go to sammobile dot com webpage and search what firmware you need and download. Flash this rom with odin.
Use Odin to flash the.rom that you like
why dun try ICS infinitum by bhu1...amazing,,...
It is not true. In the past i flashed with odin and it did not even remove all of the apps i had installed with 2.2 ...

Okay, let us be more specific:
- format /sdcard
- format /system
- wide data/factory reset
- flash with odin
Nothing and I mean nothing will be left on your phone. That process formats everything you need to in order to wipe your phone.
Good luck!

Value pack made my phone weird to.
just download some original Rom and flash via odin that will work
Hi Folks,
so here's my problem, the other day I got the standard "not enough space"-warning and I thought crap there must be a solution to this by now, so I checked and found that script that cleans up the cache etc.
So today suddenly apps(mostly gapps) started crashing one after another, without them even being open, just as it would do when space in /datadata got very low. The phone was basically unoperable, so I restarted it and it was stuck at the boot screen(blue flashing screen, not before). I tried everything to get rid of this, clearing different caches, new nightly, new skript version....nothing.
So I did a nandroid backup, reset the whole thing and started it, everything went fine. Another restart into recovery flash nand-backup....back to old habits :/
Still not wanting to give up I reset it again and reflashed only /system.....all worked, reset it again and only flashed /data.....stuck again. So it must have something to do with the /data-partition, since I would really love to have my data and apps back it would be great if someone could help me out here.
Device-Info: newest CM9-nigthly, kernel that CM9 uses, of course I9000

Hi all,
I have been trolling through all the forums on the GT-I9300T then the 9305T, and found so far a heap of tips and tricks for tweaking my phone.
I've been happily Rooting and ROMing my 9305T for a month now all without issue. What I've noticed is that with each ROM i put on my phone, it accumulates more files, folders and other legacy junk from the previous ROM. Do that over four ROM's and you get the idea...
So i thought i would restore from backup, my factory ROM which i have on internal and external SD. Unfortunately the restore came up with an error saying it was missing a file during the data backup (The Boot, Cache etc. all restored without a hitch) so it went into a boot loop...
I got out of the boot loop OK, installed the correct factory ROM form SamMobile and all is well. The phone works and everything is intact, but i now have a lot of junk on my phone I'd like to get rid of to restore it to the day i bought it. With my backup image not working can a full wipe and re-install be done to accomplish this?
