Boot loop on SGS I9000 / Gingerbread and Darky V10 RC3

Hi guys,
My first post, so don't be too harsh
So, I'm stuck with a boot loop. Here's what I did:
- flashed Gingerbread 2.3.3 XXJVK with PIT file via ODIN
- flashed supercurio kernel by ficeto using ODIN (PDA)
- copied Darky's V10 RC3 zip file on phone's sd card
- rebooted in Dark Core Recovery and flashed the Darky's V10 RC3 ROM
- no errors so far, everything went smooth.
But now I'm stuck in a boot loop.
Please advise & thanks !

I guess you have to flash stock rom (or Darky Resurr.) with odin :/

Working again!
I did everything from the beginning, except this time I used K13D instead of Supercurio.
And now it's working like a charm ...
Firmware 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655 [email protected] #2
Build number: Darky's v10.0 RC3
Thanks again !

I was in the same situation. The idea is that you have to flash a compatible kernel for your ROM (ie : if you use 2.2.1 firmware you can basically flash any ROM from Speedmod`s kernel to Voodo LaggFix; if you are on 2.3.3 thare are few kernels available because the devs didn`t have enough time for compiling, etc. so you have to wait). Yesterday I tested 2.3.3 Darky 10.0 RC4 Gingerbread and I had a semi-lagg experience (the only cool thing is the animation when you scroll up or down - it`s a light). So I reflashed 2.2.1 with Darky Ressurection via Odin and then I put Ultimate ROM with DamianGto (latest) kernel - I score around 1900 in Qadrant with 1200Mhz OV and 24mv UV - but it`s cool and no lagg.
I was a begginer too, but from my experience if you have any problem (bootloop, freezeloop) go into download mode, prepare Odin and just flash the device again with Darky Ressurection 9.2 to make a safe downgrade (All info is in the .zip package, PDF format).

Hi guys,
i have also the problem with the bootloop. I can´t swich in cwm or anything else.
I hear a very fast speach and then the galaxy starts the next time.
I was updating from v9.5 to v10 RC6 follwoing this:
ww.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-rc6-need-to-flash-dark_core_2-2-first.2382/[/url]
It was fine and the phone was working fine. then i have start the lagfix in cwm. since my phone is in bootloop.
Have any idea? plz help... and i´m sorry for my bad english...

the noise you are hearing is the lagfix being installed.
this is normal on darkys rom / voodoo kernels.
try again and give it 10 mins, if it still does not boot, re flash through odin and give it some time.
if you pull battery out / switch off whilst lagfix is being installed you will get serious issues.

Hi guys,
i have flashed Ficetos JVB a second time with odin 1.3. It does´t work at all. Bootloop is coming back after the restart.

Hi azzledazzle,
i have really done it maybe one hour ago... i mean to pull the battery out....
what can i do now to manage this problem?

have you any idea?

did you use 512 pit ? and did you check re-partition and finally did you load the .tar md5 into pda section ??

Galaxy S wont boot

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas

Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.

2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.

Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!

How can i flash Stock Froyo/Gingerbread trough Odin? Can`t find anything usefull @ google
btw i can reach Recovery Mode (CWM / Speedmonk something)
(Kinda experienced by flashing around with my N1 for around 2 years now, but never heard about this Odin Program)
thanks for help anyway

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.

Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !

Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!
Happy Holidays

[Q] Need help with custom ROM

hello all. I'm new with rooted galaxy note and I don't know what to do now. I rooted my phone yesterday, flashed imilka's CyanogenMod 9 v03 and everything looks fine. But my phone freezes when I connect it to laptop. Then I downloaded some other roms via wifi and tryed to flash. Nothing happens, flashing freezes all times. I recovered to imilka's CyanogenMod 9 v03 and now can't flash no original rom and no custom rom. What can I do?
Sorry for my bad english, I hope u understood

Your only solution is PC Odin..
There is a thread in Development forum has pre rooted stock Gingerbread ROMs, flash one of those
Then go to Chainfire's thread and flash the CF Root kernel for that ROM so you have CWM recovery, use the "already rooted.bat" method described in post #2 in that thread
From there your choice, continue flashing ICS ROMs or go with Gingerbread custom ROMs

thanks for help, but this didn't helped. now my phone restarting while loading :/ any ideas?

[Q] i9000 tried to flash CM9...kinda fsck'ed

[email protected],
after successfully flashing CM9 to my Defy I convinced my friend to go to ICS as well...so far so good/bad!
I followed the guide to install CMW recovery and did a backup of the stock ROM.
After this I copied CM9 nightly and the google apps package to the internal memory...apperantely the zip package of the google apps was bad, so i tried to boot into CM9..it took a damn long time, so I removed the battery (OK, bad move...but so be it don't bit*h about it!)..CM9 booted but said someting about "encryption of the storage failed..please do a factory wipe"......I did so, using CWM recovery...which ended me up in a boot loop without having access to CMW recvry.
So I thought, flashing the zImage again with heimdall will have the bootloader rewritten (maybe the 2nd bad move this day) so I can access recovery again...I imagined zImage was kinda like a BIOS of a PC...apparently it is NOT
After some google-f00 I found out I have to flash an official FW from samsung, with repartitioning,using odin, am I right?
But the probel is, that they tell me to do a *#7465625# to find out details about the stock firmware...but this is not bossible because the phone hangs at the galaxy s boot logo.
So my question is...what can I do to access either recovery or the stock firmware with a phone stuck at boot logo (i can boot into download mode) and having only a nandroid backup of the stock rom?
Can anybody tell me what to do without spending 200 coins to obtain another SGS for my friend (Yeah, I told him that the risk is to brick the SGS, but I have a kind of guilty conscience.
Hope someone can help...
Thanks a lot!

Odin doesnt care about whats currently on your phone . Just go to samfirmware. Com, find a nice stock rom (2.3.3) for i9000, and flash it with odin. If you dont know how to use odin: use the search button in the i9000 section ''how to use odin''. keep us updated / or if you have any other questions :thumbup:

hey
when i screwed my sgs, odin + darky ressurection rom helped
i can't post a link , google "Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition.zip" ,though i can't remember if i used that version. some got removed, try to look for a sourceforge link. That still works
and see the reply above how to use odin

Hey,
There are also lots of tutorials on youtube, and other sites to show how to flash an original rom. I also screwed up my install of CM9. And then I followed this guide to get the original rom running again.
w w w.theandroidsoul.com/download-install-xxjvs-firmware-update-galaxy-s-i9000-to-android-2-3-5/
After that, use this link for rooting + CWM:

hmmm... i read from another site there are some custom rom that requires the phone to be in a rooted stock rom or another custom rom...
example:
to install Galaxy S GT I9000 with Orange Amestris v7.3 ROM Custom Firmware you need to be on stock XWJW1 or XXJVU Firmware since the baseband of "amestris" would be on xwjw1 or xxjvu or custom rom with the same baseband...
what stock rom/firmware the phone was in anyway?im guessing gingerbread stock rom? you still got a chance to update it right since you can access download mode...
from what i can remember, i updated my boyfrnd's s2 from gingerbread to official ics from "sammobile".com (remove quote)
then updated it to a custom rom...
well this might be irrelevant but this is how i updated my galaxy s:
well on my galaxy s i updated it from gingerbread stock rom rooted to gingerbread miui then to ics miui andy's version, since im on ics i have successfully tried different ics custom rom like darknight, slimics, elite etc...
hope this kinda help =]

Thanks a lot...I flashed the original firmware (it didn't start properly, but I don't care) and with this was able to flash the zImage again...then I was able to access bootloader and reinstall CM9

Simpilicity crashed, stuck at bootloop, nothing works

Hi everyone,
First time posting, I was on Simplicity rom 2.2.1, playing tiny tower while my alarms were going off. Next thing I know, the whole phone (GT-i9000) crashes and its stuck in an infinite bootloop. I can get into download mode easy enough and I tried flashing to a heap of stock roms: JVT, JVU, JVH and JVN. Nothing worked. I couldn't get into recovery mode, but after flashing the original CWM7 kernel I could.
Tried wiping everything in recovery, including dalvik cache, then flashing back to Simplicity in CWM. Again, nothing working, in fact nothing at all. Tried stock again, not working. Tried flashing some other kernels, didn't work either. Curiously I tried flashing darkys rom RE 10.5 in ODIN and it failed at repartitioning. Not sure if there's anything behind that. Anyway, I don't really know what to do next, so I'm here.

i tried without repartition with repartition etc and it would always fail.. but then i tried again put repartition set pit file and now..its flashing it! so trying more might help you. btw im using darky resurrection

That didn't work, it only lets me attempt one ODIN flash per entry into download, then I have to reset the phone to try again.

Make sure flashing a rom with bootloader.

I've always been cautious about bootloaders, I read somewhere that if you do it wrong it will completely brick your phone. Can you tell me how to do this safely?

you need to flash stock rom 2.1 with three parts and pit 512 and repartition checked, if didnt work try with out repatition

Can you provide a link for stock 2.1? I can't find one.

Found one with a bootloader, used ODIN, and it worked! Then went to stock JVU, updated to speedmod kernel (still working) but then I tried to update to SURFACE rom and I'm back to square one. Bootloops.
Tried more stocks roms with bootloaders, none of them working. I can get to recovery again if I flash CWM7 kernel like before.

Sorry when I say bootloaders I mean they are built into the rom. I never flash them separately. The above link is a great resource to firmware with bootloaders. The newest gingerbread firmware is JW6... Try that or one of the others. I'm currently on JW5, with semaphore 2.7.4 kernel and DMore 3.3 Rom, it's rock solid. Hope you get it sorted.

Yeah I found this thread earlier, I did flash with JW6, doesn't work.
So instead I just accidentally flashed a ROM for the Galaxy Tab, now my phone won't turn on at all, I'm afraid I just bricked it for reals. Can't enter download mode, completely dead boot.
