[Q] Can't boot after installing a custum ROM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Today I installed Jewe SmartEdition on my phone. Everything went fine but suddenly it crashed while running Quadrant. Now it's in a boot loop and I'm not possible of getting in CWM. Does somebody know a fix for this ?
Thanx

Hi.
I don't know if there is a better solution. But if you can put it in download mode you can flash new rom with odin. But you lose your downloads etc.
I hope this help you! : )

Factory reset if you can followed by deleting Quadrant .
jje

unless you have resolved this already....
Pull the battery... put in to recovery mode...
wipe the cache partition and go into advanced CWM options and wipe the dalvik cache... then try rebooting the system....
any difference? or did you just install another ROM over it?

Make sure your wiping old data in recovery.. and if flashed a new kernal or radio could also cause a problem too

yes i did Wipe data/factory reset ,Wipe cache,Wipe Dalvik-cache but just now i discovered that after doing this and still last installed rom has not been wiped its still there wtf what should i do and yes i did install 2.6.34.1_AVS-925mV_BFS_1113Mhz kernel how do i completely wipe everything???
Umm also do wipe sd partition, then do another wipe factory and cache-.. then do a repair sd then try to flash new rom.. this is what i usually do when i install new roms
still no luck i even did clear storage then wiped everything and i dont use app2sd(ext) i dontunderstand what to do i even tried with the clockworkmod's recovery still the same
sorry man, My only guess and idea is try to flash back to a normal kernal, then flash rom.. only thing i can come up with atm, or you can wait and see if some one that comes up with a better solution
where can i find norman kernel or any kernel which can fix this?

[Q] Galaxy S Boot Screen hang meaning?

Hi all,
So after I flash a new ROM (MIUI MGv2/RC8vC/MGv1) I always hang at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen - the first boot screen.
I am wondering what this means? is it a corrupt file, something wrong with my internal sdcard, ROM not installed properly?
Please help,
Thanks.
some times a wipe from recovery will help and goes back to normal boot
many issues may cause this problem for instance if framework.jar or android.policy.jar or... have some bugs , will happen like that
Hi,
By wipe you mean clearing the formatting system, data, cache, dalvik cache and a factory reset? I ask this because the MIUI roms are not are non-wipe and the instructions recommend you to format those places before install (which I did).
I mean wipe cache partition from recovery. just try it and ley us know if it works
Well I just tried again but it doesn't work because I can't access recovery mode. It hangs at the Galaxy S screen and doesn't move from there so I'm wondering why because if I can't fix the bad install then I can't access the recovery mode and can only flash.
if recovery dont work BUT download mode does,
start the whole process again, flash back to stock froyo with froyo bootloader.
did you come to MIUI from Gingerbread ??
Well i've done the process like 10 times, nearly every single time from froyo (JPU,JS5,Ezbase 2.0) and I also went from 2.1 to 2.2 and then to MIUI. The other times I have tried coming from CM7 as CM7 works.
well i have a similar issue but in my case i just wiped my data thru cwm on darky v8 xxjpy..
now i get boot loops,any idea what should i do??
i know this is not exactly the thread but if i get my answer it'll save me from starting a new one..
When I got bootloops i normally reflashed. If you don't have data it will probably work?
I assume you have data as your on Dark v8 when V9 is out?
i dont understand by have data??
i flashed v9.5 but went back to v 8 few months ago..
today i just wiped/factory reset my phone using cwm and it was succesful but now its bootloops and vibrations..
i never wiped my phone before and only have flashed using cwm,never used odin for flashing roms!!
OH I see, by data i meant personal data that you might want to back up...I'm not to most knowledgeable but I know how to flash roms. I reckon you should try to flash V8 it again if you can enter recovery.

Stuck at "touch the android to begin"

This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.
I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.
My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).
I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks!
It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc
Thank you for the information. I had exactly the same problem. What did you use to root KL3 ?
Just wipe both cash and user data, and reboot.
reboot to recovery mode -> mount and storage -> format system, format cache, format data.
and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
problem should be solved cause that's what i did

[Q] Galaxy Mini bricked, please help!!

Hi,
I tried to install cm7 in my galaxy mini, and when i rebooted it, the screen blacked out and only an android text showed up on the right. I'm using Mac OS X.
What should i do?
Thanks.
Try to wipe data and cache in CWM then reboot..
My Solution
Hey friend I have also faced the same while installing CM7.2rc5.2.I was able to solve by the following way....
1.go to cwm recovery mode and wipe cache partion and wipe data.
2.now again choose the zip file and install the custom rom
3.now,reboot the phone and wait untill u see the cyanogen home screens(may be 15 to 18 minutes)
4.if u get a force close like com.android.home has stopped unexpectedl. .then reboot again.
Hope it helps you.. ..
Another problem
What about if i don't have the cwm recovery???
You tried to install CM7 without a custom recovery?
This should do the trick: http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html
Ok, I'll try, thanks
Wait for seconds and then it will enter the OS.If not so,you can wipe the data and cache then install the cm7 again.

[Q] Phone Stuck At Boot Animation Screen

Hello Everybody, My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and I have an issue.I am the one who is changing rom constantly.I was using the rom named ''Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios'' for a long time.Lately i loaded another rom, 2 hours after i used, The phone was closed by itself, I tried open phone again but it stayed at boot animation screen.After that, I thought that rom is spoilt, I tried other roms but they stayed at boot animation screen as well.I tried all of roms that i have but result was same.I thought that i should try the rom which i was using before all those problems started.So i flashed Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios Rom.Bizarre but it worked.When it opened i have faced with some pop-up ''android upgrading 0/70'' when it finished (70/70) i was at homescreen and all of my apps that i downloaded when i was using this rom at old days was there.It was so weird, And all aplications started to stop itselves and i even havent touched any of them. Like ''Unfortunately Whatsapp has stopped'' ''Unfortunately contacts has stopped'' ''Unfortunately facebook has stopped'' finally they all stoped working and i tried open applications, No application opened even contacts.
Present state: Only one rom is working, Others staying at boot animation screen and the rom which is working actually not working, Only phone is opening, No application working
What is the Problem? What Should i do? I am waiting your answers, THANKS.

Are you do a full wipe, before flashing another custom rom?
I did Wipe data factory reset, Wipe cache partition, Advanced>Wipe Dalvik cache

I suggest you install the stock rom using odin. It seems you have some corrupted files. Before flashing the stock rom, do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache Partitions, Mount & Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Once you have flashed the stock rom, go to recovery mod and do Wipe Data/ Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition (otherwise bootloop might occur). After that install root and CWM from the recovery mod. Now you can install any other custom rom without any problem. Do post your results. Hope I Helped

Uninstall kies, and then download driver for galaxy ace.
Maybe, there is something wrong with your recovery, what recovery do you use?

And, try redownload, and flash that rom again. Maybe, it's corrupted.
i unistalled and nothing happened.
And there is no problem about driver because pc is recognizing the phone which means it's was already updated.
ClockworkMod Recovery version is v4.0.0.9
And i flashed many times

Try installing CWM 5 from the recovery mod. CWM 5 is much more stable than CWM 4. Once you have installed CWM 5, do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache Partitions, Mount & Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Then try to flash any working rom with it. Here is the link,
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Do post your result. Hope I Helped
