[Q] Galaxy S hangs on bootscreen, no recovery mode after flashing

Hi,
I recently flashed a new rom (ultimate galaxy s v.7) from xda, and I flashed it via clockwork.
clockwork installed it and I rebooted, and it seemed to hang on the lockscreen for an abnormally long amount of time.
when i take the battery out and try to boot into recovery mode, it flashes to black then shows the galaxy s boot again.
previous to flashing this rom i have cleared the cache and all data on the phone. i have a nandroid backup so if i could get back to clockwork recovery this would be helpful.
also previous to flashing this rom i had a 3 UK rom which i installed by accident via kies, running 2.1...this rom seemed to be quite resistant to installing another rom from kies.
help would be MUCH appreciated...
thanks in advance

so recovery mode isnt an option then ?
What about Download mode ?

Hi,
Download mode worked before.
I have now managed by some miracle to get into recovery mode and now have gained options about a speedmod universal lagfix.
Is this associated with clockwork / ultimate 7.0 rom / a sign that the rom has installed in some form, and should i reboot, or should i now do a nandroid back to the rom i had before?

I believe speedmod uses CWM, so you can just do the rollback to your previous rom

however would it be safe to reboot, as i'm currently in recovery mode and considering to do a nandroid OR alternatively reboot and see if the new rom starts up..

well u cant leave it in recovery mode forever lol, reboot it, if it doesnt come on, try recovery mode again or just flash another ROM thru ODIN

ok. how long do you think is a reasonable time to wait before concluding that the rom doesn't work and I should nandroid back to my old rom...?

Half an hour gives plenty of time .

what would be the reason that it hangs on the galaxy s bootscreen?

could be anything.... installing process not completed properly. best to just re flash .

do you mean recover via nandroid or reflash the same rom, then leave it?

choice is yours, ive never restored using nandroid so dunno what its like. but try it first, if no success re flash using odin. u will lose all your data

[Q] flashing bumbles.. boot loop (fixed..)

NM i fixed it.. i flashed an eclair rom initially and that didnt wanna work.. so a froyo rom fixed it...
===============================
so i just flashed my first rom a few days ago and it went well.. now im stuck in a boot loop and cannot get into recovery, but can get to download mode..
steps i took to frustrate myself with this problem
flashed speedmod k12s kernel from base stock froyo
wiped everything and installed a cooked rom from docs kitchen and it worked fine
flashed a few but the last one i made i forgot to select a launcher so i was just staring at a black screen.. so i couldnt mount usb
for some reason i cant access my internal sd from CW recovery menu which i had no idea why so i flashed JH2 eclair to get the launcher using ODIN
that just sent the phone into a loop now and i cant even access the recovery menu.. only download mode..
i tried to reflash speedmod kernel and still the same flashing with no recovery menu available..
are there any settings i should use with odin that im missing? i really have no clue what else to do.. thanks guys in advance

[Q] [i9000M] Installing CWM/2e Recovery

I have an i9000M running UGKG3, rooted. I still have the stock kernel and have no modifications. I'm trying to get a CWM or 2e recovery that will let me install update.zip files that aren't signed.
I have tried kernel after kernel, getting bootloops with every one.
I tried signing the CWM update.zip myself but it only managed to remove one of the two errors I get about it not being signed in 3e Recovery. I tried signing it multiple ways, nothing.
I tried replacing some of the recovery files with Root Explorer, to no avail.
I also tried flashing JVQ and JVR so I could use CF-ROOT, but they didn't even get to the "Galaxy S" boot logo before it looped.
Does anyone have a solution?
Anything that works, really. A signed update.zip, a i9000m compatible kernel, a successful replacement method, anything that will install a usable recovery.
Thanks in advance,
Getinaf

I'm in the same situation as you. I have UGKG3 installed, with the rooted stock kernel via Odin. I have tried almost every custom kernel I can think of, and they all boot loop. I've tried Rom Manager to install CWM, and it doesn't work either. I haven't tried any JVR roms yet, but from what I read they should work, so I'm surprised you're getting bootloops there too.
I guess there is something different with gingerbread compared to froyo that makes the kernel more picky. On froyo I had the stock JL2 rom, and was able to install the speedmod k13e kernel to get CWM without any problems at all.
I guess we'll have to beg and plea for a dev to make a modified KG3 kernel with root and CWM recovery. I would be happy with that. I don't care about lagfixes or any other mods to the kernel. I just want root and CWM

I totally agree, that or I'll try and cook us one. I hear there are tutorials for things like root and cwm. I'm really actually trying to install juwe's smart rom, and for the life of me nothing is working. I'm sure there are more people like us out there too, it will be worth it to find a solution.

I am very tempted to make own kernel. Nice and simple: root, and cwm. That's it. Now to find a tutorial

has anyone figured this out yet?i'm in the same situation...

Just flash this kernel on top of whatever you have, it'll work... trust me!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
I've been running that kernel for months back then when I was still running official Gingerbread KG3 from Bell and it's the best one there is.
Installation steps :
- Download kernel
- Start Odin, make sure Kies' services are all shut down
- Select Kernel as PDA in Odin
- Put phone in download mode
- Connect through USB ... Odin should detect phone
- Hit start, reboot phone
- Enjoy, you're done!
If you have problems like FC after that:
- reboot to recovery
- "wipe cache"
- Advanced menu --> Wipe Dalvik cache
- reboot (be patient, it'll take a few minutes to reconstruct dalvik cache)
- you're done!

Did all this and nOw in a boot loop. Can't reflash as debugging is off. I flashed first tIme frOm mObile Odin ?

What ROM did you have installed when you flashed Semaphore kernel?

Please help

[Q] Stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" Bootscreen

Hi,
after flashing from TeamRocket ICS 1.3b (which worked very well for me) to MIUI 4 Note v8 to get Livewings Edition ( I used cwm for that, but did all wipes properly) I stuck at the Logo mentioned in the threadtitle.
The problem is now: I cant get out of this.
cwm works fine, but I cant start any Rom. Tried to flash several ones, but I still keep stucking...
Has someone an idea ?

Try downloading abyss kernel 3.9 and flash it in recovery and stay in recovery and reboot recovery. Then flash any rom after wiping all the cache and dalvik and data before final rebooting the system (after flashing the rom)
This should work !!

Use the above method i mentioned. It should work.
If nothing works then flash any rootable rom via PC Odin and you will be back to stock and then can root again and flash any other rom of your choice! Check out Dr Ketan's guide in the stickies post in development section of note forum !

got also the same predicament, just stuck in Samsung Galaxy N7000 bootup logo screen after I went to the recovery mode to format/system, format/cache..
I tried to follow the instructions actually on how to upgrade my CheckRom RevoHd v5 to Version 6...
The instructions were to format /system and format /cache... then copy the ROM to a new folder in the internal SD card...
Now the question is.. how can I copy the CheckRom RevoHD version 6.zip if I can't even boot back in recovery mode..
when I booted back.. it just stucks on that bootup logo screen.. ..

Bro how much time did you wait ? I was having the same problem! At least thats what i used to think... But turns out that the first boot takes REALLY long... took me approx 25 mins with rocketrom v22

If nothing works then flash any rootable rom via PC Odin and you will be back to stock and then can root again and flash any other rom of your choice!

to boot in recovery press and hold volume up home button and power button all at same time in any screen and keep pressing till the time the samsung logo again shows up. Then leave the buttons...it should now boot in recovery.

I already did that sir but It would really not open up recovery mode. I can however go to Download mode(with the Volume down) but what good is that anyway, right?
anyway, I have already fix my issue by reflashing it back via PC Odin...
I guess its either the instructions of flashing to the new version of CheckRom RevoHd v.6 is pretty much vague (though I really followed it to a tee) or simply the instructions are not that just well emphasized...

can you direct me to the rom you flashed via odin?
I tried flashing stock rom but i'm still in bootloop

what you need now to download a GB custom kernel then flash it with the current cwm: then do the following to get it right and rooted ics
1-right after flash the GB kernel go to advance and then reboot recovery.
2-boot into the new recovery flash any custom rom like darkynote.
3-bootup get mobile odin and get the chainfire repack ics LP1.
4-start mobile odin flash the chainfire repack and make sure all the boxes are ticked and wipe data also ticked.
5-after the flash is done it will reboot auto in to cwm flash the miui and all is done.
this log steps I'm telling you to follow so you won't encounter the banry count and yellow triangle.

Hi all. I also have the same problem. Initially I'm using LiquidSmooth rom. And then I went to Criskelo rom to try the rom...and didn't like it. And I tried to restore to LiquidSmooth and failed. Now I'm stuck in bootloader and when I try to flash anything on CWM, it hangs. Even if I leave it for awhile on the menu, it'll hang too. What should I do?

Stuck on Samsung Startup Screen
I tried various Stock Roms, but unable to go ahead of Samsung bootcreen. I can get into recovery menu & also download screen, so I assume my Note is not bricked. However I tried to flash old directly rootable GB ROM, ICS ROM, Latest GB ROM(Wipe) but nothing works. While flashing latest GB ROM "N7000XXLC1 (Wipe)" ODIN was stuck in data.fs, so flash was incomplete, In other ROMS flash was complete but I was stuck on Startup screen. I tried flashing "Q1_20110914_16GB.pit" file also but no luck. I also flashed Abyss Note Kernel 3.9 & 4.2 in ICS ROM, but I don't know how to flash this kernel in GB ROM as I'm unable to get into external memory card where I transferred kernel zip file. Please help me save my Note.

[Q] unable to install stock rom

After Rooting n using safe kernel, I was on RocketRom V3 and last week i updated to Ultimate Rom 5.1 JB and phone was working awasome, and then i tried to install awasome Beats throught CWM but i was not able to install it. then i again tried to install photo sphere through CWM but again same problem, when i select zip from SDCARd, after selecting nothing happens, so i thought CWM is corrupted and then i tried to restore the backup (rocketrom v3) but same thing happened, unable to even restore the backup so i was sure there's problem with CWM.
So i decided to to flash stock rom via PC ODIN and i installed stock rom N7000XXLPT, build number IML74K.XXLPY , android ver. 4.0.3.
after flashing, phone got stuck on samsung screen so i rebooted into recovery and wiped data factory n cache (i knw i was not supposed to do this but thr was no other option) and after wiping phone booted normally but i got many errors... unfortunately settings has stopped, unfortunately file manager has stopped, unfortunately software update has stopped has stopped etc etc.....
then i tried to install another stock rom (latest november) but now i m not even able to flash rom through PC ODin, FAIL... FAIL error with tht red color ...
So what could be done to get back to normal stock rom ?? Plzzz Help

is it stuck on factoryfs ?
if so, theres a big chance that doing the wipe caused the brickbug and only re-partition will fix it and bring it back to life.
before doing that, try to flash stock GB and see if it boots, if so, boot into recovery and do the wipes there, stock GB kernels are safe from the brickbug.

YEs, it stuck on factoryfs and the FAIL msg appears with REd background.
phone boots with many FCs and i mnot able to see any SDCARD, so its EMMC brick bug,
i guess i ll need to use PIT file method to revive from a MMC_CAP_ERASE brick

Confirmed. Apologies. Notes once you repartition, there's a chance you won't be able to run full Roms with a larger file size due to damaged sections, you'll likely face fc's and freezes. After repartition look to cm based Roms as they take up less space and should work ok.
