[Q] Applying a theme - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I've already tried twice to install a theme on my I9000, but it doesn't seem to work. after installing it using recovery the phone won't load (it just got stuck in the I9000 screen). The only way out was to reinstall the rom (Darky's v8.0 slim).
Does any of you has any idea what did I do wrong?
Here's the post of the theme I tried to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898892

Hve you tried to clear dalvik cache in cwm and flash the theme again? Works for me.

How did you try to install it? I've used Darky's ROMs since v6 and have always flashed themes over it without any problems.

Hey Guys,
I want to get the latest AOSP rom, and stubled upon this thread for I897UCKI2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283566
I am already running Apex 9.2. Am I to believe that all I have to do is copy that zip over to my phone, and then boot to recovery, and install that zip?
I tried to do this, and it is stuck on the AT&T World Phone screen.
Any help?
Thanks
U need i897 gingerbread bootloaders if you don't have them already. (link in my signature below)
Then backup your stuff, wipe, etc. then u should be able to flash through cwm recovery.

[solved] Seems i cant install ICS anymore, help

Hi,
Yesterday when I tried to upgrade to RR v6 my note didnt want to boot correctly.
After I performed a full wipe with Abyss redpill, and installed rocket rom. When my note boots again it goes to recovery and constant reboots.
After alot of reading and trying out different recomendations I installed a GB rom first one w/o root. After one with root. In gb my phone boots and works.
When I install ics (tried stock and rr6) my phone doesnt get past the samsung galaxy note screen. Im able to go to download and install GB again. Tried alot of times now to install a ICS rom and allways same bug.
Any good tips ?
Try installing KL3 via PC Odin....root your phone and try installing ics after doing all 3 wipes....if it still won't work...go to alliance from ics ...and follow all the steps given by Robbie...

Help: CM10 stuck on boot screen since I flashed it.

Before I used CM10 i just used the stock (flashed latest GB) that came with my phone. So I flashed CWM5 and cleared all the three stuff I was supposed to. I installed the CM10 zip and since then its been stuck on the boot animation, not even a loop. Just the animation.
Any ideas whats wrong?
Thanks in advance

Well happened with me once when I had put AOKP ROM in my Galaxy Note.
Here is what I did:
Go to Recovery.
Wipe Cache.
Try reboot
No results?
Recovery again.
WIpe Dalvik Cache Also
Try reboot.
Still no results?
Try to wipe data/fac reset and re flash some other ROM as of now (which you are confident about that it will work)
Now go ahead and let the old ROM boot. (Surely it will, as you would have used prior)
Now, go connect USB and check MD5 of the file you had kept on SD Card (I mean the CM10 file)
I found that my MD5 didnt match.
If you think it didnt match download again.
If you know it matches then go for reflash.
But this time before flashing the new ROM just use some cleaning script such as Ultimate KErnel Cleaning Script. In Galaxy Note I used Jbroid Kernel Script. I aint sure now if you can use Jbroid in Ace.
Goof luck!
Press Thanks
I got it working, what I had to do was flash CM7, then CM9 then CM10 :/ after that it was fine Thanks for the help
Welcome
The problem was with the kernel being different in CM10 and official version.

Bootloop going from 2.3.6 to 4

Galaxy S i9000. Was using Android 2.3.6 Darky's Rom v. 9.5 Extreme Edition.
Downloaded ics_4.0.3_mr1_rc4.2_i9000.zip and went directly into Recovery mode and chose the install from zip option. Then, color changed to blue, and I cleared cache and did factory reset.
Now in boot loop, phone keeps going to recovery whenever I reboot..its currently CVM v. 5.5.0.4 with light blue text.
Pls help
Reinstall zip its because ICS changes the partitions and reboots half way through

Also I reccomend going to tiramislim or another 4.0.4 ROM as they are more stable and don't suffer the android battery bug

Did u checked following link?:

Had the same problem with my i9001 when i went to ICS, solved the problem with the guide in the wiki article.
Latrop, I tried re-installing again and again, didnt work.
Kuliano, surely there must be a simpler solution?
Can I know what's actually causing the bootloop?
Thanks
I had only to reflash the bootloader with odin. Perhaps there is a similar solution for the i9000. I will look for it when im bavk from work..

In my country ,we will upgrate to ics via cm7.
it's mean
1.you must flash cm7 first , if worked and into desktop(you should wait 3min untill OS worked finished).
2.reboot to recovery
3. 3wipe
4. install ics zip
I think it will solve your problem.
try it, I am done today..

[Q] Cannot install any custom roms. Phone acting weird

Hey guys. I've been using CyanogenMod on my Galaxy S for quite a long time. Few days ago my battery died and phone wouldn't pass the CyanogenMOD logo. I've decided to go back to stock rom and then upgrade to one of the new roms.
So I flashed the stock rom using Odin 3.07, rooted, went to recovery mode and tried to flash: Mackay ROM, Beast ROM ( black and white as well as beastxl), Avatar ROM, Slim Bean, Tsunami, CyanogenMOD but none of the above worked.
It starts the installation and after few seconds phone restarts itself and gets stuck on new boot logo.
The only thing that gets installed is the CWM which won't let me do the factory reset, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache etc. Keeps saying can't mount /data, /cache, /system.
The only time I can do factory reset is when I install stock rom.
I only succeeded installing Franzy ROM once but after reboot gets stuck on boot logo.
Sometimes even the stock ROM is giving me issues like process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly (does it for dialer, calculator, market, launcher)
Another weird thing is that even when I go back to stock rom and open up for instance a picture with bright background or web browser I can see transparent battery and CyanogemMod in the middle of the screen even tho phone's not charging and running on stock rom not CyanogenMod.
I think I've tried everything from fixing permissions, flash and re-partition using Odin and 512 pit file.
Even rang my Mom like advised in xda's video, didn't help either
Is there anything else I can try to get my phone in "shape"?
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply. Installing CM 9 worked but trying to install CM 10 throws up this error:
assert failed: run_program("tmp/updater.sh") == 0
E: Error in sdcard/cm-10.1.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Flash this one :
http://get.cm/get/3Fb
then install this one :

Thanks for your help. CM 9.1.0 installs fine, same error for 10.1.2 :/

did you tried to install other costum roms , like slimbean ?
There MIGHT be a problem with your internal SD card. Slight chance :/

Yes I did and only Franzys installed successfully but then stopped working after phone reboot.

I think that might be the case. I get encryption unsuccessful with my sdcard in and CWM doesn't see any files with sdcard out.
I found an article here on forum that explains how to use your external sdcard as the internal one. Will give it a try and see if it works.
For now I don't mind using CM 9.1.
Thanks for your help guys and let me know if you have any other suggestions.
