[Q] Stop at the booting animation screen after flashing ROM

Hello everyone.
I have just flashed the Darky's 9.0 ROM on my Galaxy S.
At the first boot, the device stuck at the Nexus S animation screen and vibrate every 1~2 minutes but cannot enter the home screen.
I would like to ask what should I do next? I have tried to re-flash the ROM but it seems doesn't help at all.

i didnt know darky had released his 9.0 ROM yet, last i heard about that it was still in BETA mode as it contains bugs and things.. Anyway Can you get into download mode. Volume up + home + Power button ?? if so i would just flash back to stock ROM and go for a different ROM maybe darkys 8.1 or below..
EDIT : Just seen darky has released 9.0 ignore me ive only just noticed...

You should ask Darky about his rom problems .
Or as the previous post wipe it off your phone .

Thanks for your reply.
I would also like to know what is the first boot normally looks like? Is it like my situation that keep "looping" the animation screen?
I flash the ROM again and I don't know whether to wait it or not.

well usually first boot can take up to 20mins in some cases, but reading through his threads few people are having trouble.. i am going to use his 9.0 ROM myself but i will be waiting another week or so till i know its running at 100%.
Also, what ROM did you have before ? if your so persistent on having it i recommend re flashing to stock ROM, install darkys 8.1 / 2, choose voodoo kernel, then upgrade to 9.0..
Thats just what i would do, if it goes pear shaped thats not down to me..

I have the stock ROM in my hand but the problem is that the ROM is not yet put into the phone's internal SD card.
And I cannot enter the system so I don't know how I can copy the files.
Is there any method to move the ROM into SD card for me now?

so your on stock ROM now, and you cant access anything ?? what happens when you plug your phone into pc via usb ??

I have downloaded two stock ROM, both in tar format.
But I haven't put the two file into the internal SD card yet.
When I plug in the device. the PC cannot read it.
When I plug in under recovery mode, the PC can read 3 devices in "My Computer" but shows half-transparent color and cannot access them.
But I have just realize that the stock ROM is acompressed with the odin program
Can I install the stock ROM via odin?

you must flash stock via odin

Fix for boot loop
Posted a solution in the main ROM thread, here's the link to the fix

yes u have to do stock ROMS via ODIN, open up ODIN, select pda, find the .tar file (something like JPY_JPY.tar) make sure re-partition is UNchecked, then put the phone in downlode mode. Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button, that should bring up a yellow screen, then connect the phone to the pc. Make sure Kies is closed ( even in icon tray) the ODIN should see the phone ( something like COM 8 READY) press start and wait for the pass screen on ODIN.

[Q] Rooting galaxy s with gingerbread 2.3.3

I can't root my sgs, i have tryed almost every tutorials i can find about this, but i can't connect to odin when the phone is in download mode. I even get this up in download mode: can't access to '/system/csc/xee/system/' Anyone that can help me with this issue?

Uh... sounds like something is seriously wrong with your phone dude =\ You should be able to get to d/l mode regardless. Does the phone still work fine otherwise?

Unable to root sgs gingerbread NEJVD
I have the same problem after upgrading to official firmware via kieys. Running PDA:I9000NEJVD, PHONE:I9000NEJV5, CSC:H3GJV6 on 3mobile. Odin doesn't recognise phone in download mode, computer only reads onboard sd card when connected as usb storage. Tried one superoneclick too but stops at running pnueter exploit/gingerbreak exploit. Super laggy as well, Can i roll back to froyo? any help highly appreciated.

Did you try diffrent usb port on your cpu?
also..on the cpu that your using odin to flash , do you have kies installed?
if so make sure it isn't running ( i would uninstall just incase)
see if that helps.

I am interested in rooting too, and I have gingerbread. I have 2 problems though, first, I do not have the 3button combo working. I thought the gingerbread update would fix it, but no luck, and the method I found here did not work. I hear that you should not try to root without the 3 button combo working, but what choice do I have, samsung update did not fix this bootloader problem. I cannot put my phone in download mode without having it plugged in and recognized by adb.
My 2nd problem is that I have a I9000T and it seems nobody has this phone around here so I have no way of knowing if some of the rooting options even work for my phoen and firmeware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I actually have a i9000t, ive soft bricked a few times as long as you could get into download mode you should be ok, allways keep a stock rom around just incase to flash back to through odin.
Ive flashed a few modem with no problems, few roms with minimal problems..
Cm7 lost radio and weird pixle screen boot.
Deoxidized roms work good.
I had flashed Darkys 9.5 and everything worked till i noticed the stock music player gave me reboots.
I had tried flashing MIUI but no luck at all, could of been my zip. File was messed up but i tried a diffrent and still nothing.Now im on Darky 10.1 final no problems.
This has to be the most stable/fastest rom ive ever flashed.

hi.. do you have official kies installed on your computer?
if so uninstall it first... and installed the unofficial samsung driver.. sorry i cant post link here as am junior member..
you can search in google "samsung usb.rar". Once you download it, then installed it on your computer. Open you odin, put your phone in download mode,
and plug in to computer, then odin should be able to recognize your phone.
Once I have the same problem and it works for me with above step. hope that help.

Thanks for the reply! Ok, I finally manage to have the 3button combo work and get into download mode and recovery mode. I want to root, can you tell me if the odin method works on 2.3.3 stock, on I9000T . Also, How can I fully backup my phone. Which android version did you have when you rooted.
Also, I keep reading those very old threads and I was wondering what the latest Odin version is used for 2.3.3.

Turns out We/I have been using the wrong button combo for download. Download mode is: Vol DOWN+Home+Power On.!!! Recovery mode is Vol UP+Home+Power On. I used Fuguroot with my stock kernel from RAMAD (senior developer). Flashed with odin & it took LESS THAN 2 MIN! Check out this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901.Hope this helps. Do remember to thank Ramad and Nicademus!

I don't have a galaxy tab, but it should be similliar to my galaxy s. I think your device is NOT bricked. As long as you can get to download mode, your device is NOT bricked. If you can get there, you should try to flash with odin/heimdall again. I think you must have done something wrong in the flashing process. AFAIK the logo is displayed by bootloader (primary), so if nothing went wrong with flashing the secondary one (download mode), you should be able to flash again.

APEX Q&A

If you have more than 10 posts its a better idea to ask ur questions in ROM thread, else this thread is for you.

Safe Flashing from Gingerbread
Thank you for starting this thread
I am currently running Apex 6.3 and want to flash to a newer rom, Apex 7.
I have a Rogers phone I896 and so I no longer have my volume buttons working to put it in to recovery or download mode, I have read not to load any kinda fix for that(something about two boot loaders being a bad idea).
My understanding is that I have to go back to stock before flashing a new rom(I have seen you have roms that can be upgraded rather then re-flashed) but I want to wipe my internal sd card and flash like new.
Do I just use ODIN 1 click and go back to stock and use it to clean my sd card, is that a safe option or am I missing something?
If I remember correctly I had to do like 2 or 3 steps to flash Gingerbread from from stock rom, load boot loaders, load kernel, load rom. So I am wondering if it is 1 step to go back to stock ?
I know I have seen a post on a thread on this but to find it when needed is not so easy, XDA-Developers has grown big time since I started with WM5(Android is all new to me)

Hi I had a question concerning running new boot animations for APEX 7 with Update-1 package.
I found this boot animation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121014 that I would like to install but it seems as though it isn't working. Is it possible with this ROM to get new boot animations?
Thank You

So you can't put the phone into download mode?
Odin 1 click is pretty straight forward from what I remember. First I boot up the phone normally and hit "master clear". Second I put the phone into download mode and hit the "Start" button which goes and installs the stock firmware. Obviously you need to be in debug mode to do all this so make sure you're good with that.
I don't know if you already have it but here is a link for the Odin 1 click I use.

Will have to wait for boot animations to work buddy, as of now kernels dont support it

If you are already on ApeX 6.x you can flash 7 using CWM.. No need to ODIN back to JF6.
In worst case if u have to ODIN back that should be to stock GB.
But as i said just flash 7 on top of 6.3 by going into recovery mode

First off I want to say thank you for making an awesome ROM. Loving it thus far and has been running flawlessly except for one minor issue I ran into tonight. For the MIUI lockscreen the phone freezes then goes to the android boot animation screen and right back to the MIUI lock screen whenever I try to unlock with SMS unlock. Is this a known issue with the screen unlock concerning MIUI?

dear sir
hey! amazing job on this one looks really promising! I have GR-12 on my cappy with the latest talon kernel and GB bootloader. my question is, if i want to install this do i need to flash back to stock 2.1 and do the entire process (reinstall talon and bootloader then install your rom)? OR can i just enter recovery mode with my phone currently using gr-12 and use CWM to install APEX 7 rom? either way i have to first install apex 7 then use cwm to install update 1 directly after correct?

All you gotta do is put apex on your sd card then go into setting and privacy and do a factory reset then reboot into recovery clear the cache and dalvic cache then install apex
EDIT Do the factory reset then put the ROM on your SD card lol

PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE BEEN UP 48hr researching
Installed Apex_7 on my phone and i used a kernal swap to bypass the froyo file verification instead of going back to eclair first. after i got all working and installed Apex i rebooted my phone the at&t logo came up then the screen went all crazy and then kept replaying the galaxy s animation so then i used odin to go back to stock after odin said success i rebooted the phone and now im stuck at the at&t logo. cant get into download mode
AND i have made a usb jig but it does not work i tried 3 100k resistors and 3 100k and 1 1k and still nothing. Also if i take a ohm meter it will only read up to 2 resistors at a time once i add the 3rd one i get a split second reading then nothing but ive tested them all by there self and they read 0.10 and 2 reads 0.20 then 3 reads 0.30 for a split second then reads nothing.
Thanks anyhelp greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
I dont wanna make this my new paper weight.

Watsaa, first off I have to say this is an awesome rom. I have tried other GB roms and this one just rocks. I am running Apex 7 update 1 and the only issue I had was everytime I returned to the launcher it seem to reload all the icons and widgets. Then i flashed Talon 2.2 and wow!! It runs much better and no more reloading of the launcher. Smooth as butter.

1) try to get in recovery and make factory reset (hint: go to download mode, then reset device and as quickly as possible press vol up + vol down + home to enter recovery)
2) I'm not responsible for any mods which I didn't tested on my build, so that D2Y Indonesian guy maybe didn't tried it out properly or you had some other mod which maybe make problems
3) I was testing back in days some mods but barely oworks just because it had older base for ROM (builds prior August 2014 most of time) and if I made it to work on latest CM11 then I had some problems with SystemUI and FC's

No if someone can help me how to get download mode.. so i can flash back with Odin.. coz...even Odin doesent recognize phone anymore...
Please help me with this one Tnx
Simi

So let me get this straight - you can no longer boot up normally, into recovery, or into download mode? For me, the surefire way to get into download mode is to push and hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB cable (which is already connected to a computer), however, I'm on a variant.
You could try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551(download jig) as a method to get into download.
Also, I'm assuming you've got the Samsung drivers installed on your computer (but you should still be able to get into download mode without them, but Odin won't recognize your phone).
P.S. As this isn't an Omni specific problem it would probably be better served to go in the Q&A section on the i9000 forum.

yes thats right.. cant get it to download and recovery mode... it is very interesting that..in rom manager.. everything works... but when i come to the reboot click ..or reboot to recovery or anything... its just nothing ... not rebooting.. it like i didnt press anything..
Im still on my workstation and laptop.. on both computers i flashed my own i9000 and i9505 and other phones..
the drivers are installed..
i did the volume buttons and power button... than pluged the usb... it just booted up to OS..
I order JIG over ebay riht now.. we will see if i will get it in 3days like they said... until then... i will try more..
P.S. Sorry if i posted under wrong section... though that becouse i have Omni rom.. its right to post here..
I will copy my therat and paste it under Q&A section... tnx

No problem, now that its here it might as well stay here if you get it solved. No sense in creating two threads. If the jig doesn't work, I would then create a thread there as I can't help you anymore.

Actually, Q&A section is also not appropriate. Per the Omni FAQ, these forums are for discussion of official Omni releases. For issues with unofficial builds that did not come from dl.omnirom.org, please take them up with whomever provided the unofficial build.
Edit: ooops, noticed it was a 4.4 build, which WAS officially supported. I had assumed you were talking about 5.x initially @humberos ?

I think your bootloader has some problem. Bad flash? maybe?
Also we should to update I9000 from 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) which has new one BL version (IIRC).
I am sorry, I have no idea which kind of problem that you are getting on your I9000.
Anyway, just remember that buttons combo for download mode:
[Power] + [VolumeDown + Home]
I hope that you get it fixed.

that's really weird!
I have no complains about reboot mode (download nor recovery) at omni-4.4 version.
All information about I9000 official builds (Omni project) is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488037

I think your bootloader has some problem. Bad flash? maybe?
Also we should to update I9000 from 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) which has new one BL version (IIRC).
I am sorry, I have no idea which kind of problem that you are getting on your I9000.

OOOH YEAH - I remember that Infuse (and I think also all of the Galaxy S family) changed bootloaders between Froyo and Gingerbread.
I'm shocked anyone at this point in time would be transitioning from Froyo to custom firmware since that device has had GB for years, and all custom firmwares would have broken with the old Froyo BLs.
The whole MTD/LVM mess means I can't provide any advice on returning the unit to stock and updating to GB, maybe there's something in the I9000 help forums.
Some of the descriptions of inability to enter DL mode sounds like REALLY old Froyo bootloaders - I had assumed initially this wasn't really possible since those haven't been used by anyone since before I got involved in Android development...
