[Q] Need help now matter what i flash - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
my problem is that whatever i flash it ends up with reboots.
I have flashed a gingerbread bootloader and then deoxed rom JVQ and finally semaphore Kernel to get CWM(with odin).
Then I have tried Darkys rom but anytime i reboot it reboots again-twice or it reboots when im in the app drawer.
Juwes rom-sometime it reboots itself. SYMPLY rom-after closing voodo control app it hangs and reboot and the same thing happens with control freak or it just reboots when your sliding through the menu.
I dont get it what iam doing wrong why i have this ****ing reboots.
I hope someone can help

Some ROMs have bugs that cause reboots. Sometimes it might be cause by modem or kernel incompatibilities.
The safest option would probably be to find a ROM you like the look of (with detailed installation instructions) and do a completely clean install of it (factory reset/format SD->Odin flash stock Firmware -> Follow ROM instructions). Or just stick with the stock firmware. Avoid using TitaniumBackup to restore apps to be really safe.

thx dude for your answer now i have miui galnet and everything works fine except that it restarts when i press shut down(but only while charging).
But i really dont get it why there are so much bugs. I have also a htc desire hd and i can overclock it to 1,6 ghz and its still stable almost with all custom roms that are available for the desire hd.

[Q] Boot loop with every ICS rom

I've been trying to get ICS on my Galaxy S but every single ICS rom I install causes my phone to bootloop.
I'm on JVU firmware in combination with:
This is the December 29, 2011 / Android 2.3.6 / JVU / Value Pack ? build:
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip
So far I've tried to flash CM9, Slim ICS and Team ICSSGS RC4.2.
What happens when I try to flash any of these roms:
Progress bar show up, it starts installing
At 5% phone reboots
Boot logos show up
Phone enters recover again and some lines of text show up (not long enough to be able to read but looks like error messages)
After less than 1 second the phone reboots again and the process repeats itself
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Would be much appreciated because this issue has left me frustrated and I just want to have working ICS on my phone.
Thanks in advance.
When installing ICS over the top of Gingerbread there is a requirement to Flash the ROM twice.
Once to upgrade the bootloader to ICSSGS 4.2 version and second for the ROM to fully install.
I did this and was able to successfully upgrade to ICS.
Searching the thread for ICSSGS 4.2 would have provided the answer for this issue.
If this is unsuccessfull flash back to a gingerbread ROM using Odin Darky's 10.2 worked for me. allow the phone to fully boot. then retry you ICS ROM
Before flashing ICS you also must disable anny lagfix that is applied.
I tried flashing twice already, didn't work. I'm flashing darky 10.2 atm and will try flashing an ics rom again when it's done. Thanks for the tip.
I had kind of the same problem, although my boot loop was a little different i think. I Odin'd Darky's 10.1 a few times, but in the end also tried 9.2. That worked. No idea of that made the difference, you could give it a try.

Allright flashing Darky's 10.2 first and then ICS twice was the solution, so weird. Thanks for the help

[Q] Stuck installing CWM. Pls help

My phone was bricked yesterday. Then I used SMF to recover, so I turned back to v10a. (from smart flash tool)
Installed Rom manager rooted and installed marvel rom.
Then I tried miui 2.1 rom.
Then i tried to restore my backup(marvel) what i did with rom manager. Phone bricked again.(Blue screen on android)
Then I used SMF to recover again. --> v10a.
Now in rom manager pressin flash cwm button in menu but nothing happens. I rooted phone. Root is workin well in other programs like Titanum. Tried reboot into recovery causes factory reset bcs of cwm i think.
Any way to solve this problem? Or can I install zipaligned rom like marvel, zeus without cwm? Like S/E tool. Power + volumeUp...
Did you do all the wipes before flashing the rom?
Didn't you missed any step?
I cant see even recovery menu. To wipe data/dalvik.
I coulnt flas cwm, so when Im trying to do reboot into recovery via Rom Manager, skips that menu(controlled with volume and power buttons dont know the name) and v10 is booting with factory reset.
Do you have an internet connection when trying to flash cwm?
Trolling in the deep
Just root it again, reboot, install busybox, reboot, install cwm and all should work just fine

Yes I had internet. I installed Rom Manager from market.
I will follow this link. It gives you offical 20o Rom rooted and touch version of cwm. Hope it will work for me.
And I realized that I really missed LG's UI.

You probably forgot "wiping" before restoring your nandroid. Any this shall be a lesson. From now on you won't forget.
had the same problem before, i always had a bug installing CWM, caused factory reset everytime , but when i downloaded it again it works well..

I've never wiped before restoring a nandroid, and believe me I've flashed my OB a lot while i was debuting my Lezo mod.

I solved the problem. Now I have offical 20o ROM offical and rooted. Happy with that. Until stable CM7 or MIUI release I will stop trying ROMS.

[Q] abnormal error, can anyone help me?

Hi,
I as of yet, am not going close to any ICS build till the issue gets solved by someone.
so I am experimenting with different gb roms. i was using checkrom v6 but didnt like it, so followed steps to install darkyrom/alliancerom extreme edition. i followed the steps as I was told to install allianceota and flash the rom through there. it didnt work. so instead using cmw i flashed through recovery, it did flash but there no root.
so now, i reflashed a stock la6 rooted rom from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
this went smoothly with no problems, so i installed allianceota as normal, this time when i try to flash the following messages come up:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/CSC/KOR/system/'
Successfully applied multi CSC"
and then it gives me the option to reboot, wipe cache and a few other options, not full recovery mode.
shall i just reflash the rom through recovery, or am I doing something wrong? and does the slight error above mean I have a problem with my note?
cheers in advance.
Let me just say that almost every ICS ROM out there now has disabled the MMC_CAP_ERASE code in the kernel that activates the eMMc bug and bricks your phone. If you want stock ICS, you can use SpeedMod or Franco kernels. If you want AOKP, there is that now. If you want CM9, there's a bunch of variations plus the official CM9 nightly. If you read through the OP and stickies, you will be okay.
Are you on stock recovery still? It sounds like it from the error you are getting. Try flashing CWM recovery and installing the GB rom with that. Follow Drketan's thread in Android Development.
hmmm, so would you advise me to use ics? is it much better? i dont want to use cm9 builds as i need the spen apps and so on. i have looked into kingdroid or alba.
I'll have to think hard about this. i may give it a shot soon though..
oh and btw, I fixed the problem, yep it was to do with cwm it wasn't installed with the stock rooted rom. as for allianceota, it still didnt flash the rom, i had to flash the rom through cwm manually.
cheers anyhow.

I love ICS a lot more than GB. If you want to use stock ICS, I would just use Franco or Speedmod kernels with it and be safe. Read both of their forums and decide what you want to do.
I had the same problem with rom deodex i had flash with odin 1.85 firmware gingerbread here ; http://www.hotfile.com/dl/152168378/f76281c/N7000XXLC1_N7000OXXLB3_ATO.zip.html... then i made wipe cache and cache dalvick .
I've just flashed AlBa repack latest one on xxlq2, I did it by following the steps,
I thought i had broken my phone, because when the flashing finished and i was rebooting, at the beginning when it welcome to galaxy note n7000 and then goes to the bootup video, it restarted that several times, then after like a few minutes it loaded the homescreen and startup.

[Q] Rocket Rom ICS v7, home key issues

Firstly I apologize for posting in Q&A's, due to the 10 post restriction I was unable to post in the rocket rom thread in android development and Q&A's seemed the second most ideal place.
After a day of horror, I tried merely flashing Abyss Kernel 4.2 but I ended up somehow in a soft brick accessing the recovery and download modes only. After ages I decided to try my luck installing Rocket rom v7 and it thankfully worked and my phone is up and running.
However, I have faced a couple of issues with it, of which the major one is the lack of response when hitting the home (center key) on my international version of the galaxy note. It doesn't work whatsoever, I've also noticed that the lock screen has disappeared too, so when I put the phone to sleep and wake it I get taken to the page I closed on rather than the lock screen. The latter I have fixed by using widgetlocker, although I am still oblivious as to how to fix the home key losing it's function.
Any advice etc? (especially if it's kept in layman terms, and nothing drastic... I despise flashing!!)
Moreover I was just wondering is there a set of instructions one could follow to return to a stock rom on the galaxy note via CWM?
Kind regards and thanks for your time

on what rom did you flash v7 ?
iam currently running it no issues at all, everything works maybe you 'll have to do a clean install just flash abyss kernel full wipe with it and reflash the rocketrom v7 using it dont not reboot until you flash the ROM since you flash a GB kernel on an ICS system....... wont boot just softbrick. watch it!
sounds like the system files a corrupt somehow and btw if case you changed kernel let us know too....

Ah yes sorry wasn't clearn.
I was firstly on ICS 4.0.3 stock rom XXLPY, I kept getting nagged about the kernel instability so I went and tried to flash Abyss kernel 4.2 (somehow stuffed it up ended up soft bricked). So I then flashed Rocket Rom v5 (after properly flashing Abyss kernel) via CWM. I think follow the steps to upgrade to v7.
Tbh I really do not want to mess with flashing and ODIN again >.> have become paranoid.

Grr couldn't find the post edit button, but tbh I do think it's a setting issue or so I am hoping I did play around with the rocket rom tweakbox and I imagine that may have been the cause of this issue or so I am hoping
Dont worry reboot to recovery and flash v7 again and reboot (no need to wipe or flash other kernels )

Wouldn't that just give me 2 copies of rocket rom and cause issues? Or will it install missing files?
So I should just install zip from SD and that's all?
Ok I am redownloading now and going to give it a shot.
Moreover, I would love for any advice on how I can return to stock rom... any advice would be most welcome. I'd prefer only to use CWM.
Or if there is perhaps another fix the issue above? Any comments would be most appreciated!
First of all yes you can install zip from as and select v7 (no it won't harm it will overwrite all files Yes, I understand want have duplicates unless they are from another rom but again full wipe would have removed them from before so you are ok.
Well idunno about CWM stock rom I prefer you use either pc odin or mobile odin (recommended) just charge the phone to 100% and install mobile odin set you stick firmware on sdcard and select open file in mobile odin then in case you want the root keep options as they are and select wiping option both. In case you don't want root deselect the object superuser options and still check the willing one
About home key issue might be a script issue one of hardware files is messed up so I can't tell for sure which but mostly the files are at system/usr/

Thanks for all your help REVERSiN, just to update you.
I tried re-installing v7 rocketrom and flashing however still faced the same issue of the home key etc. So I kept a stock rom in my external SD went to CWM recovery and did a full wipe, delvik cache wipe and cache wipe tried installing the stock rom however CWM had issues opening it and aborted. So I installed rocketrom v7 again and voila it works perfectly now and seems brilliant.
I think I still want to return to stock eventually, but I refuse to use Odin, I tried using odin twice and both times it froze the first on factorycs (although my phone wasn't bricked) and the second time yesterday on cache so yah I have had terrible luck with ODIN and I refuse to use it,.
Nonetheless if there is way to flash stock rom using CWM would be epic. However, until I am 100% sure on how to do it I'll be sticking to rocketrom.
Thanks again for all your help and time!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 (GT-S6500d) CM10.1 Custom Kernel

Hello!
I've been having a lot of trouble flashing recovery, rooting and installing custom rom for my Mini 2. After a lot of researching and trying I have successfully rooted and after installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 and now I got the JellyBean 4.2.2. And now I would like to find out whether or not I should upgrade/change the kernel. Can anyone tell me please if there is another kernel for CM10.1 and for my device specifically, and will it make my phone more faster or not. I have tried to install Semaphor (I don't think this is compatible with my device), Devil (Same here) and Franco (Which is same) for all three of them I have got the status 7 error. I have also tried to install some kind of kernel update for my device which completely messed up everything (different colored display, some glitchy stuff and random reboot every 0.5 seconds ), so I had to install the stock rom (because the cm didn't work) and then the cm.10.1 again (now I'm good). Also to let you know my current kernel version is 2.6.38.6-1214151 (that's what says settings -> about phone -> kernel version). If there is nothing better then don't worry, my phone at the moment runs smoothly anyways!!!
Thanks in advance.....
Please...
Anyone???
I had that error on cwm 6.xxx
Then i flashed cwm 5.0.2.8 and there was no error, it worked
Just wipe everything and go to mounts and storage->format /system and after that mount /system
Make sure you have backup of your working rom. If your device wont boot after flashing (if its just booting in recovery, flash stock rom
(get into downlad mode voldown+home+power, hold power button until samsung logo.)
If thats what you have problem with...
No, don't install something that won't work for your phone. Kernel are main controllers in your phone. You change the kernel, you change how your phone works. If you lucky, you get your phone booting, but with glitch everywhere. If you aren't lucky your phone will dead, no matter if you install a custom ROM, or a fresh stock ROM.

I appreciate the reply, so as far as I understand, Kernel is completely separated from the ROM. So if I get any error or problem with the Kernel, it's going to be hard to fix, because re-flashing the ROM will not change anything. If what you said is right then I will not risk it, because my phone has got already CM10.1 installed and is working nice and smoothly, however I got another question. I'm not sure what Kernel version I had previously but when I installed CM I think it changed the Kernel, because the name of it is not the same as I've seen when I had stock ROM (It says 2.6.38.6-1214151 [email protected]#1 Sat Mar 23 11:49:35 EET 2013). I am really happy with what I've got at the moment so I will not change it, because if my phone ends up bricking, or anything else, I can't afford to buy another one for now (sometime later yeah )
Anyways thanks for your help!!
