Failed update. Need help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all.
I was using an old version of MIUI (RCxx, I don't remember anymore). And I decided to update to the latest. I copied the zip which is required to update but my recovery seemed to be broken. When I select anything from it, nothing happened. So I decided to flash kernel with another recovery. But something didn't go well and I got a picture with mobile phone, exclamation mark and PC on the display.
So I flashed Darky's reserruction ROM (which helped me many times) but it didn't boot. It stacked on Darky's boot animation. I wiped cache, system and data but it's now stacked on Galaxy S logo.
I'm still able to go in download mode. What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Can get to recovery menu, but boot hangs at logo

I was trying to update to AOKP on my Captivate. I was running GB 2.3.5. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I installed ClockWorkMod Recovery, then I added the zip file to the SD. Rebooted into recovery, and then tried "install zip from sdcard". It said that it was installed. I backed out and then tried to turn on the phone. Now I'm stuck at the AT&T logo. I finally turned the phone off after 2 hours of that. I can still get to the recovery menu, and still install zip from the sd, but I'm still stuck at the logo.
I've tried Odin, but it hangs at file analysis. Did I mention, I didn't back up anything? Only thing important to me is contacts, and they're backed up through Google.
Any ideas on how I can fix this. Point me to right thread if this is already covered.
Reboot into cwm recovery, Wipe Data/ Factory Reset, then install rom. If it boots afterwards to another cwm recovery, don't reboot the phone, just reinstall the rom from there and u should be good to go.

Still stuck at the at&t logo. According to CWM Recovery, SlimICS was installed. I'm really at a loss. Any other ideas?
Flash a stock, one-click, no bootloader, odin or heimdall package, and try again.
I was able to load stock ICS 4.0.3 Phone booted like normal. I was starting to freak out. Thanks for the help.

GT-N7000 won't start. Can go to recovery or download mode

Hi,
i have GT-N7000 with RocketRom v1 and CWM 5.? recovery.
Today i installed ROM manager and clicked on flash CWM recovery (at the time i did not know i shouldnt do that). Phone worked ok. I tried to make phone image/backup but it failed twice.
Phone rebooted but did not go to recovery and i didn't get any new files. So i went to recovery and made backup from there. I rebooted and i had this image files. Then i wiped data and tried to install back this backup. All went fine except somewhere in the midle phone rebooted by itself. Since then phone only boots to the "logo screen". I left it like that for 30minutes and it was still the same. I can go to recovery and download mode but i can not flash rom from recovery. I tried and it starts instaling rom but after few minutes of inactiveity phone reboots. I flashed recovery via ODIN and it is still the same. I also tried to install stock rom but i get error that phone can not read from /sdcard/ROM.
I realy need your help because this is company phone and they will kill me :/
I just tried to install AlianceROM and it started it installed and all it allso sayed that install was sucsessful but still nothing. When i start phone i see Samsung Galaxy logo and nothing more.
use PC odin... put the phone in download mode and install a stock GB rom.. if successfull .. before it boots .. reboot into recovery and do a wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, and wip dalvik.. then reboot

CWM Recovery Boot Loop. Help!

Hi Everyone,
I have a GT-N7000 - it's been working great since I bought it 9 months ago. I was running RocketRom on it for months. I've been using RR 11 (I didn't like 12) and haven't had a problem with it. The CWM that comes with it appears to be 6.0.1.2 and I kept the stock kernel (OneNote??). Lately, my sms messages were being sent sporadically and I kept getting this same SMS pop-up over and over (every time I sent an SMS). I know it's probably a carrier issue but I thought I would boot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. I've done this several times in the past without problems.
I first wiped the cache, then I did Dalvik. For Dalvik, I got the error E:\ unavailable (I recall seeing this in the past). I select "Reboot" and the phone booted back into CWM. I've tried removing the battery and same thing.
I ended up trying to flash back to the pre-rooted GB using Odin. The flash completes and the phone reboots but, yep you guess it, CWM comes up. It's the same version. So apparently this is not being updated by Odin??? I read somewhere that this is a CW bug that does not clear a flag to boot back into Android but the fix seems overly complex and worries me (I'm not afraid of doing it if it will fix it).
I'm entertaining the idea of using Kies to do a "Firmware Upgrade" which looks like it will install the latest ICS. It successfully downloads the new firmware then asks me to connect the phone. Before I do this, I wanted to check here to see if this is my only (best) option. Or if I should try something else? Also, Kies says system and data will be initialized so will my sms logs, photos, etc be deleted as well? Not a huge issue since I save the photos to the external sd. I just want to know if the USB storage will be wiped too.
[EDIT] I wanted to add that I TRIED to install Abyss from CWM and it hangs. Same ting with installing RR again. It appears that the file system is locked or something. Pretty much nothing works in CWM. I even tried mounting the various partitions then installing Abyss. It just hangs on "installing." I suspect the problem occured when I wiped the cache or Dalvik. I just don't know what
I appreciate any input.
Thanks!
dont use abyss... try other like hydracore or speedmod 3-15
Im a noob and im afraid i may have this also..
Try to download Philz kernel for your built number, and flash the philz zip file from recovery.
or if can't flash from recovery, try to download the ODIN file for philz kernel (TAR file).
It should re-injected the CWM.

Motorola Milestone A853 Major Issue!!!!

Hi all, my name is Daniel.
I am using a motorola Milestone A853 for the past one year and never faced any issue while rooting or installing custom roms right upto cm10.
from last two months the milestone has not been working properly. It so happened i had installed CM 9.0.1d and everything worked fine. but once the battery died the phone did not boot up and was stuck on moto boot logo and kept restarting from there. I tried to go into open recovery (fufu minimod) using the X+power key and it goes into recovery but after loading recovery it did not display any options and the other text was red in color and it showed the error failed to load menu.init. I replaced the update.zip file along with the open recovery folder, but still nothing worked. I then tried another open recovery but still open recovery never loaded. Then i SBF'ed the device and went back to stock and was able to use my phone again. But then when i try to root the device again i am not able to root using vulnerable SBF as it does not install though RSDLite shows pass. Then i used superoneclick to root and that did the trick. But still open recovery never installed or load. Luckily androidiani recovery which displayed an error cannot mount but still created the menu and i was able to install custom OS but only cm 7.2.4e and not cm9 nor cm10. I cannot reboot the phone as the phone never starts up. only after clearing dalvik and wiping cache phone boots up. After a certain time now i still cannot install cm7.2.4e as it does not load and gets stuck on custom bootscreen, so i installed MIUI rom which works and starts up but i still can never reboot my phone.
Errors Seen E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
Kindly help as the phone is just barely working.
Your phone has some serious issues...
How stable it is with stock rom? Maybe You should flash a stock 2.2 and see if you have any issues.
If not, then flash vulnerable recovery and so on, step-by-step.
Maybe it will be easier to locate the source of the problem this way.
Tried Everything

Thank you for your reply. I have tried flashing stock 2.2 and still I cannot reboot the phone without wiping cache and using the reset factory option in stock recovery. Using superoneclick I can root it and install androidiani recovery but I cannot use cm10 or cm 9. after installing cm9 the phone just restarts after cm9 boot screen and after installing cm10 the phone shows the stock android boot screen. cm 7.2.4e installs as well as miui but if battery dies or if I have to restart the phone if it gets sluggish and slow then I cannot...everytime for the phone to boot I have to wipe dalvik and cache for custom roms and for stock roms I have to wipe cache and factory reset.
SO basically I am stuck...have tried changing the sd card, repartitioning the sd card, but nothing worked
Open recovery cannot be used only andoidiani works after popping up some errors.
Kindly help.

[Q] Urgent help needed

I am sorry if this is asked earlier. couldnt find such a thread.
I have a samsung galaxy s i9000. i installed cm 10.0.0 stable on it yesterday upgrading from stock 2.3.5.
but because i could not connect to internet via network, i decided on restoring my backup of stock which was made in different version of cwm and while recovering it, it asked me that the "device seems to have root problems. try fixing it?" i selected yes.. after that the phone rebooted and stuck at boot screen. then i tried to go to recovery mode and their it wasnt detecting my internal sd card, boot, system etc i .e. i couldnt mount anytthing. so i tried flashing recovery again.
now finally, i am having a phone which goes only to download mode, or the bootscreen. doesnt even boot to recovery. i guess the kernel is still of cwm 10.
please tell me what should i do?
thanks.
