Darky's Extreme Edition v9.3 ! Can't access CWM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm a SGS user since few days, and I'm really glad of my choice. Otherwise, I flashed Darky's rom, which I really liked.
But, with time, I was looking for some change and wanted to change my theme for the "black android theme".
Like it's said in the post, I put the zip file in my internal SD card, and restart in recovery with the shortcut thanks to Darky's rom. After that the phone reboot, and is stuck at the first screen displayed by the SGS :
Galaxy S
GT-I9000
SAMSUNG

After that, i just can take out the battery and put it back again. I start the phone normaly, and same problem (stuck first screen). Battery out, boot in download, battery out again and try to boot normaly, still no real boot...
I flashed Darky's rom from the beginning (including flashing JM5 with re-partitionning with Odin) and it works nice again.
But still can't access to CWM.
Should I re-install CWM after installing Darky's ?

Upgrade to ICS stuck in boot loop...

Trying to install the Cynogen ICS ROM, and when installing the .zip, it loads the Samsung flash screen with Cynogen, then get the green guy and loads of text for about half a second, then it just reboots. Over and over for about 10 mins. WHat went wrong? What should I do?
It happend the same to me.
I just removed the battery and put it back, entered in CWM and reinstalled the ROM.
Good luck!
I somehow got into a recovery mode, but with the assumption it would all go wrong again, tried to install the .zip Darky rom instead, went through the process and said it worked but then it just went back to the Cynogen loop problem!? I just tried a Restore instead, but I haven't rebooted yet, should I wipe everything again, and try the ICM .zip again?
Yep, just go with the whipe. I hope you did a backup.
OK turns out the Restore failed, so now trying to reinstall ICS .zip again. fingers crossed!
yep backed it up, not that its seems to have helped.
Well now it's stuck in the Galaxy S bootscreen...
that really sucks....did you deactivated the lagfix before running the rom?
If the problem persists you have to run a basic ROM using ODIN.
Yes deactivated the lagfixI can't get into recovery or anything now, except download mode.
Download mode is all you need to run a ROM with Odin.
I recommend Amestris, it is a good ROM, good battery life but the thread in not complete, there are some files missing...for now.
I've put some older ROM on I had, then tried to install ICS again but now when I use Clockwork, and select the file it goes to recovery but I can't select any zip files, just reboot back to this awful old ROM!
I had same issue when I installed ics, what I did that worked was pull battery and go back into cwm, reflashed ics zip and it fully installed that time. Had same experience when flashing cm7 before.
Not getting anywhere with this. I get an option to install zip from sdcard which is where the update is (an where the darky update also is which worked), but there is an option to update from internal SD, which is not where the file is. Is it in the wrong place?
I think you would be best to use Odin 1.3 to flash DarkyROM Ficeto JVT base rom.
are you sure those files are still on your sd card?
The reason you need to pull the battery and reflash the ICS rom a few times is because Samsung ROM (most) have a different partition layout to CM7 based roms (which the ICS port is one).

[Q] N7000 boots but stacks at home screen on every rom i try

I was on MidTeam 1.3. i decided to change my lcd density via an app and this messed up everything. i went to CWM and do a wipe/factory reset. After this the system failed. I flashed a GB rom via Heimdall, everything went well, the phone booted as usually, i've seen the "click android to start" screen but when i clicked on it phone freezed. I tried to flash different ROMs both customs and stocks, they are all being flashed via heimdall succesfully but stacked at the same place. I finally flashed CM9 (again via heimdall). It booted normally, i saw the lock screen, i unlocked it by touching the screen then the phone freezed again. I made a search on the forum but did not find a similar case. Can anybody help? CWM is working fine, i can do wipe/factory reset or mount any partition.

see if anything in my signature can help you... good luck!!!
Thank you for the answer. I've succesfully flashed LPY rom from the list you provided the phone restarted, boot animation is ok, then the phone stacked at samsung logo. I've waited like 45 min but nothing has changed. I gave a try with a gingerbread rom but the odin process was freezed during datafs. I'll try another GB and if same thing happens, will try LPY of LPF once again.

It looks like you have got a Superbrick on your hands, mate.
It looks so, but as the phone opens both in download and recovery mode and stock lpy rom can be flashed, i still keep the hope for a possible miracle :/
Happy End
After trying hundreds way, my galaxy note is working now.
every rom i try to flash via Odin had some issues. LPY was flashed with succes but stack at boot.
LPF was not able to write DataFS
but i was able to enter CWM. So i flashed abbys kernel. Then i realised that wipe/data factory reset was working.
I formated /data and /system
then i mounted /data
reboot in recovery
again i mounted/data and then flash darky's rom. Everything looks running properly now.
Never ever i'll try a lpy rom
dont try LPF and LPY roms for now..
dont know why they kept making roms for it despite the constant warning... i guess a lot of people love the thrill of bricking expensive things.. lol..

[Q] What to do when CWM ROM flash hangs during install?

Hi all. Yes I am a Noob first ever post in fact. I am however good at following directions and reading first. So far found nothing to address my issue.
Intro: First time flashing a Custom ROM although I did previously successfully install Cf-Root and Stock ICS from Sam Mobile using excellent instructions found here.
Background: 1) Decided to move from Rooted Stock ICS to new Aliance ICS -- spent all weekend reading up before developing courage to attempt. 2) Today Successfully downgraded to Gingerbread (Flashing the Darky Resurrection rom and following instructions exactly). 3) Uninstalled DarkyOTA and Cleared app data as specified in instruction 4) Installed Alliance OTA and ROM Config as specified 3) Successfully flashed a XXLPY repack via ODIN per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27199210&postcount=4instructions 5) Copied the Alliance ICS Rom Zip to external SD 6) Went into CWM as instructed and flashed file.
Result: received notices -- Preparing for Installation ... Cleaning the phone etc -- through to "Installing Extra Apps" ----- Have been staring at this part for 45 minutes now as no progress has been made.
Current situation: Staring dumbly at phone with fading hopes that the process will complete. Wondering how long my Mugen battery will hold out while I wait. Utterly clueless what to do next. Regretting my courage in attempting this.
Can someone help please?

Download the Alliance rom again and reflash it, you might have a corrupted rom.

Haven`t you made a cwm recovery (backup) before you went to flash the rom.
If so pull the battery, wait 30 seconds, insert the battery and go in recoverymode and restore your backup. If there is no backup go in downloadmode and reflash a stock rom and reroot this rom and start over.

Ok -- and thanks again. The Good News is after pulling and reinserting the battery the phone booted up and into Alliance (it looks fantastic by the way) and appears to be working. A bit scary as the Flash process itself never actually completed. Since I am as of yet unfamiliar with the ROM I have no idea if I am missing anything (mostly just the wall paper and google search, play store, and Nova settings are displayed --- but app drawer has 49 apps and 36 widgets). So now I would be very interested in opinions as to ---
1) Anyway to validate whether EVERYTHING that was supposed to have flashed on this Rom is in fact there? Or can I assume that since the phone has booted up and is working in terms of voice and data connections that I have been lucky and all has gone well after the initial panic?
2) Related to the above should I reflash this ROM over itself to see if it fully completes this time?
Thank you again.
Congrats on getting past the hanging issue - it is always a nervous time when that happens. I would recommend you reboot the phone and check that it starts up again. If all is good, run with current system for a few days. If you start to notice anything wacky then would be the time to reflash ROM.
I'm a firm believer in "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Hopefully your Note will just work now.
Just before reflashing just confirm if you are fully rooted, install root explorer and check if u can paste in system if yes then for safety purposes just flash abyss 4.2 redpill kernel boot into the kernels cwm and perform wipe and reinstall the rom

Thank you for the feedback. As it stands I Re-flashed again ---- and the flash hung again (this time @ "Cleaning phone". Started over a 3rd time and it went through perfectly.
No idea why the first two attempts failed -- but it looks like I am good to go.

Thank you for the suggestion. Per my post above, I think I am sorted out now.
I've got the same problem, are you on speedmod kernel???
Try to mount system and data from the mount menu.
I hope this can help you
I have the same problem... First I installed successfully the ROM but then i messed up something and my phone started to restart and then I went to recovery, Wiped Cache, Dalvik and then Wiped data, then i mount Data, started installing and it went to Installing extra apps and just froze... I hold the power button and it booted alliance rom only with nova launcher... No other launchers... I want to do this again but im afraid if it is going to get even worse Should I try again of doing this? I'm sure that the rom wasn't corrupted because the first time it worked... Shall i try flashing HydraCore and then flash alliance rom again?
EDIT: I've just flashed it again and it worked.. I have no idea what exactly happend, but it doesn't matter - it worked

[Q] PLEASE HELP!! note wont boot

My N7000 just shows a black screen indefinitely after the 'Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000' logo.
The soft keys light up when I press them, so it is on during this time.
It is rooted and does this when I flash any of the official CM10 JB nightlies after October 3. (October 1 nightly still works)
Apart from this there is no indication there is anything wrong with my phone.
It is overclocked and undervolted but safely so (it only crashed when I was testing the voltages 2 months ago) (it usually runs at 1.6 GHz and 1250mV)
The only other things i flash are Hydracore 5.4 and SuperSU 0.96, and I've tried booting without these to no avail.
What do i do??????
Thanks in advance!
flash stock ROM and start again, Stick to stock voltages and stock CM kernel and see if it works then.
If not, we can look a bit deeper in to the cause
Edit: forgot to mention that I was already running PA 2.16 with Hydra 5.4oC.
I had the same problem last night, after flashing PA 2.17 it didn't boot up anymore.
It's stopped after the N7000 logo.
I flashed a stock rooted GB ROM with ODIN PC (Dr Ketan guide) and was able to boot once.
When I went back to the CWM recovery it got stuck in the recovery itself and I had to start all over again but with the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS rom there was no improvement, it always booted back in the recovery and there was no way to leave it, factory reset didn't solve the problem either.
Then I flashed N7000XXLA6_N7000XEULA1_XEU with separate CSC and modem and since that moment it came back alive and I restored my last back up.
It took me damn 2 hours to get it back running again.
Note to myself, never flash a rom again before going to sleep.
azzledazzle you were right! Its a kernel problem.
After flashing SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS, I installed cm-10-20121005-NIGHTLY-n7000.zip, and it worked!
The thing is any non-stock kernels still cause the original problem.
Stock kernels are fine with me, but do you know how it might be fixed?
Got no clue if it's a kernel problem or how it can ben fixed.
I'm running PA 2.16 + Hydra 5.4 and all is fine again.
Will keep it that way for a while.
Edit: nevermind.
Glad you got it to work

Ive done the same thing to mine, or shall i say similar.....i was rooting mine to cm10 jelly bean and it booted up fine, i tried to restore it to its former rom and my battery was low and the phone just died on me:silly:
now the logo comes on and after that nothing, blank screen...
it go's in to download mode but not recovery mode....
by the way....am a complete noob:crying:
anyone HELP!!!
aky47 I suggest:
flash SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS which is here: d-h.st/HJM using this method: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20963718&postcount=2
put the desired ROM on your phone
enter recovery (hold home+vol up+power until 'Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000')
select 'install zip from sdcard'
select 'choose zip from internal SD' (can't quite remember the exact text - its the last option though)
choose the ROM
confirm
wipe data/factory reset from main recovery menu (optionally wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache)
reboot
Note (<(Y)) this worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, I'm not responsible.
And don't do this if you have important stuff on your phone cos you'll lose it.

[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 :
http://get.cm/get/9aJ
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 :/

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.
