Hi. Since I hace issues with my kernel (going from a speedmod older than k9 and corrupted... to a vodoo whn trying to install darkys 5.1) I decided to install a stock rom from 2.1 in order to clean the mess I had.
I flashed 2.1 with odin and when started recovery 2e I made a wipe data/factory reset and also wiped cache partition.
But now when I apply sdcard:update.zip (the update.zip from CWM) my phone fails to do it. I read it was ok, you just have to make it twice(like I've done in the past) and then it should work but now it isn't.
Whenever I apply the update.zip my phone reboots, appears the galaxy s screen and starts again the recovery 2e. I've done it several times and is always the same: the phone reboots to the galasy s i9000 screen and starts recovery 2e again.
Please help me!

First of all I hope this is in the right place: I did do a search but still couldn't find any help.
Here's my problem:
After getting a (delicious) taste for customisation after rooting and lagfixing, I decided to give custom ROMs a go. Hours of indecision passed and ultimately I settled on Doc and Stefunel's magical ROM. Due to currently being on 2.1, I chose to follow the set of instructions provided on the page for doing so.
All was well up until the very final step. When rebooting the phone through ClockworkMod Recovery, instead passing the Samsung boot screen into the Android system, the phone boots into CWM recovery. I've tried doing another factory reset, and reinstalling the ROM to no avail. I've also tried mounting "/mnt/sdcard" in order to place another ROM to flash from, but I keep getting a message telling me to insert a disk (what happens when you don't mount).
That's pretty much all there is to it. I'd be massively grateful for any help!

If you have made a backup of your apps then flash the JPY with Odin and then make factory reset in recovery mode. Then root with CF Root 1.3 (Or something like that) and flash CWM Recovery. That's what I would do.

from the recovery menu try wipe cache and dalvik, and reboot
hey all,
i have an i9000 that when i reboot to recovery, it ALWAYS goes back to recovery 3e which is a pain. I have to use odin to flash to another kernel temporarily to get 2e back to install a simple update, which then turns into a big complete reset flash when it shouldn't. Anyone know why this happens? I am have attempted with docrom ROMs with both voodoo and speedmod kernels which both include clockwork, but reboot to recovery just goes to 3e again instead of clockwork. do i nede to repartition (using odin and perhaps a PIT) or is this irrelevant and something else is up. My friend has the same phone and never had this problem.
Using Docrom JPJ with speedmod kernel and froyo 2.2.1 atm.
anyone help?
did you find any solutions?
I noticed this with my speed mod kernel.
I found that if you pressed the button combo to go into recovery, let the phone first boot, let all the buttons off and press them again and so on until it boots into cwm recovery.
Worth a try!
Do this when in recorvery:
Install update.zip iy should be on the second slot. If not go to the market and install rom manager. Then there should be a option down the menu that says flash clockwork mod. Do that, boot into recorvery and install update.zip. U may need to install yhe update a few times. Then you should have clockworkmod

I have CWM 4.00.15 installed and I tried to install Ryyu's Rom (Wipe) by putting it on the SD card and rebooting into recovery, then selecting the zip file and hitting apply. When the installation tried to update my kernel, it just froze and rebooted. I was then stuck on a boot loop between the Galaxy S screen and the CyanogenMod boot screen. I know that Ryyu's did not install correctly because the CyanogenMod boot screen was still there. I had to use 3 button recovery and erase cache, davlik cache and user data before trying to install AOSP Essence, but same problem happened. Installation dies and phone keeps rebooting in loops. Finally, gave up and went back to CyanogenMod Nightly and it worked.
Why can't I seem to install any other ROMs besides Cyanogen? I know I am doing something wrong, but not sure what. Any advice/help appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried starting from a clean install?
Try starting with a stock rom and then to activate Cwm flash a modded Kernel.

Hi,
this is what I initially did to get Cyanogen on:
1. Used Superoneclick root to root phone
2. Check that 3 button recovery and download mode works. Recovery version was 3e, so installed superlagfix from android market. This automatically installed ClockworkMod Recovery as well.
3. Use CWM and flashed recovery for Samsung Galaxy S i9000
4. Reboot into recovery and select the CyanogenMod zip file and click apply to install.
To install subsequent ROMs, I just put the zip file on my SD card, reboot into recovery and repeat step 4 above, after clearing cache and user data. It is after that I get stuck on boot loops.
I did do a Nandroid backup before my initial Cyanogen install so I can go back and restore it, but it would be Froyo.
when coming from CM / MIUI - Samsung based ROM
you MUST flash a 3 file firmware with pit and re-partition.
Cyanogen and MIUI use different partitions than samsung ROMs so this is why you are having issues.
Ok, just managed to flash Darky's EE 10.2 using Odin. Not sure if Odin is the ideal way, but it worked. Really enjoying Darky's. Thanks folks!
Hi,

8.It goes to recovery and posts text very fast then reboots again
9.It repeats everything what it does from section 7.
Im very confused so please help!
Have you tried flashing it again?
redo step 3 and onwards,
sometimes you just need to flash twice.
It seems like a corrupted download... Are you flashing from internal or external? Have you mounted before?
i tried to flash from internal
What version of CWM recovery do you have? Maybe flash a different ROM just to update CWM, and then flash the rom you want?
I had the same, or atleast a similar problem whilst trying to flash CM9. I fixed it by flashing the rom again.
You also might want to redownload the file incase it's corrupt.
i have CWM 5.0.2.7 and i downloaded the CyanogenMod file again so i try to flash it again
Any luck with your efforts this far?
yes, i succesfully installed CM9 about 3 months ago.
I'm not sure which build it was but it was the newest build
I wanted to flash custom rom on my galaxy S. I flashed clean rom, then kernel with CWM, but there is a problem. Everytime I try to flash rom it ends with bootloop. I tried cm7, cm10, rootbox, miui 2.4. Every time is the same. It starts installing (only few secodns), then screen becames brighter, then restart and bootloop. I tried different kernels, roms but still same result.
ps. sorry for my english
Hi, here is a great guide to fix bootloops:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596
Usually, doing factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before and after intalling the ROM should fix the issue though.
I'm doing all necessary wipes, I can recover from bootloop easly but I want flash custom rom and I can't. Istalling zip lasts few second, not few minutes, there is a problem.
Sorry if this is too basic, but are you using the right ROM for your phone?
of course...
I don't know if I'll be able to help you, but can you please list the exact model of your phone just in case? You can see the different variants here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S#Variants
It is just GT-I9000. Now I managed to flash CM7.2 but if I want install CM9 or CM10 im getting bootloop and can't enter recovery mode ;o
Sorry, I can't really give you an answer with that information. If you are following the steps in each ROMs thread, you should have no problems patching as far as I know (someone more knowledgeable than me may say otherwise).
Maybe posting the exact steps you are following would help me or others to find out what the issue is.
I'm following right steps. It's not my first phone. I know how it should be but it isn't. Here are my steps:
Flash stock ROM w/ODIN v1.85 - OK
Flash CF-Root w/ODIN v1.85
Wipe Data/Wipe Cache
Phone now rooted OK
Boot to CWM Recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Select update on SDCard (cm-7.1.0 from CM site)
Flash completes in just a few seconds
Phone reboots automatically
Now stuck in boot loop
Remove battery
Go to CWM again and reflash CM7.1 zip
Now i have CM7
Reboot to recovery, facotry reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
Flash CM9/CM10, finishes in few sec, reboots, then black screen, can't go to recovery mode ;(((
Flashing stock with odin again...and every time is the same, sometimes when I choose CM10 i see info: "Incompatible Partition Layout" so it may be the reason (something with partition, idk)
My phone has never rebooted like that, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I do know I use ODIN v3.07. I also have CWM 6.0.2.7
Best of luck finding a solution, sorry I could no be of more help.
I think CWM6 would help but I can't find this version for cm7
IGNORE ALL LINKS BELOW, they are for the wrong phone
I don't think it matters what CM you have on your phone, you should be able to upgrade CWM from recovery: Maybe not in i9000...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
Doesn't work in i9000 as far as I can tell: You can also try installing TWRP, which I like better than CWM and have in a different device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694617
Finally, and don't take me on this because is just a guess, maybe your bootloader is not working properly? I don't really remember how to do this myself:
You are showing me links to CMW and TWRP for i9001, I have i9000...
You are right, please ignore those links... I do know I patched CWM 6.0.2.7 through ODIN on my phone, so maybe that's the only way. In any case, I'll let you look for the actual links.
