I have CWM 4.00.15 installed and I tried to install Ryyu's Rom (Wipe) by putting it on the SD card and rebooting into recovery, then selecting the zip file and hitting apply. When the installation tried to update my kernel, it just froze and rebooted. I was then stuck on a boot loop between the Galaxy S screen and the CyanogenMod boot screen. I know that Ryyu's did not install correctly because the CyanogenMod boot screen was still there. I had to use 3 button recovery and erase cache, davlik cache and user data before trying to install AOSP Essence, but same problem happened. Installation dies and phone keeps rebooting in loops. Finally, gave up and went back to CyanogenMod Nightly and it worked.
Why can't I seem to install any other ROMs besides Cyanogen? I know I am doing something wrong, but not sure what. Any advice/help appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried starting from a clean install?
Try starting with a stock rom and then to activate Cwm flash a modded Kernel.

Hi,
this is what I initially did to get Cyanogen on:
1. Used Superoneclick root to root phone
2. Check that 3 button recovery and download mode works. Recovery version was 3e, so installed superlagfix from android market. This automatically installed ClockworkMod Recovery as well.
3. Use CWM and flashed recovery for Samsung Galaxy S i9000
4. Reboot into recovery and select the CyanogenMod zip file and click apply to install.
To install subsequent ROMs, I just put the zip file on my SD card, reboot into recovery and repeat step 4 above, after clearing cache and user data. It is after that I get stuck on boot loops.
I did do a Nandroid backup before my initial Cyanogen install so I can go back and restore it, but it would be Froyo.
when coming from CM / MIUI - Samsung based ROM
you MUST flash a 3 file firmware with pit and re-partition.
Cyanogen and MIUI use different partitions than samsung ROMs so this is why you are having issues.
Ok, just managed to flash Darky's EE 10.2 using Odin. Not sure if Odin is the ideal way, but it worked. Really enjoying Darky's. Thanks folks!

9.It repeats everything what it does from section 7.
Im very confused so please help!
Have you tried flashing it again?
redo step 3 and onwards,
sometimes you just need to flash twice.
It seems like a corrupted download... Are you flashing from internal or external? Have you mounted before?
i tried to flash from internal
What version of CWM recovery do you have? Maybe flash a different ROM just to update CWM, and then flash the rom you want?
I had the same, or atleast a similar problem whilst trying to flash CM9. I fixed it by flashing the rom again.
You also might want to redownload the file incase it's corrupt.
i have CWM 5.0.2.7 and i downloaded the CyanogenMod file again so i try to flash it again
Any luck with your efforts this far?
yes, i succesfully installed CM9 about 3 months ago.
I'm not sure which build it was but it was the newest build
Hi,
I'm having a major issue with not being able to flash roms using clockworkmod for some strange reason.
I decided to move from MIUI rom because every time I gave it a chance when new versions came out, it constantly let me down with countless bugs and such. So, I've decided to go back to modified stock ROMs as they seem more reliable.
When I attempted to flash using clockworkmod (that comes with MIUI) it failed to apply the new (non-MIUI) ROM and forced it to go into a bootloop which knackered up going into recovery, so my only other option was to go into download mode and flash a stock ROM (I chose the latest, I9000XXJW4), root it, flash cyanogenmod and try again.
But unfortunately this did not work and now I'm stuck on the stock ROM.
I've taken a video of the exact moment it all goes wrong. Also, below is each step taken of the process.
youtube.com/watch?v=EmZAZ3DeL2U
1) Download Samsung Value Pack (I9000XXJW4) and CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS
2) Galaxy S rebooted to download mode
3) Used Odin3 1.85 to apply JW4_JW4_JW4.TAR file to the PDA section. Re-Partition is not checked.
4) Allowed the device to reboot to the home screen.
5) Powered off the device and booted back to download mode
6) Used Odin3 1.85 to apply CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.TAR to the PDA section. Re-Partition is not checked.
7) Allowed the device to reboot to the home screen (The video begins now).
8) Launched the CWM application (with root permissions) and rebooted to Recovery.
9) Wipe data/factory reset selected and confirmed
10) Wipe Dalvik Cache selected and confirmed
11) Format /system selected and confirmed
12) Install zip from SD Card, Choose Zip from sdcard and update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip selected and confirmed.
13) Here is an extract from the log that follows before rebooting:
- Finding update package...
- Opening update package...
- Installing update...
- Checking state of BML/MTD...
14) Self-Rebooted
15) Boot-loop
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy
when it bootloops it does it cause it just flashed the kernel and its trying to run the stock rom on the cynogen kernel. so pull the battery, put it back in. reboot into recovery and flash the rom again. it should work the second time cause its using the cynogen mods version of cwm recovery. let it boot it will take a while. but that should work.
dont forget to hit thanks!

Cannot believe the solution was staring at me the entire time!!
I tried to flash CWM10 into my Samsung Galaxy I9000 Device And here's what happened:
I got into the CWM Recovery screen and chose install from sdcard (after a wipe data + wipe cache factory ofcourse).
Everything seem to go OK, no errors or special things, but when I restarted the device to boot into Android OS, it just came back to the CWM Recovery screen.
Since then, I have tried to install many other ROMS and the phone simply won't boot to android OS.
I have also noticed that usually after a successful ROM flash, folders are created in the internal SD card a thing which DID NOT happen this time.
The only difference that the new ROMS installation does is change the CWM Recovery version/Mod.
So basically, I am stuck at CWM Recovery Screen.
I am clueless and I will really appreciate any thing you can.
Any thoughts?

cos of new partitions u have to install 1 ROM 2x. sometimes 3x. thats all.
so take ur cm10 zip and flash it. after reboot to recovery just flash the same file again.
I installed CM 10 stable and Semaphore Kernel. Worked great. Then went to install gapps and got lots of FC's so I went on to clean cache, dalvik and to do a factory reset and suddenly I got stuck at semaphore/boot logo and couldn't go into recovery. Got the recovery fix and installed it via Odin, and it works. But, it doesn't allow me to install anything from external SD card, only internal. Of course, I don't have anything there.
What should I do? Any links for tar versions of CWM and CM 10 for i9000?
Hmmm, is it safe to assume everything will be OK if I just flash any stock firmware from sammobile?
Yup, that combined with this did the trick.
This is my second attempt to install custom ROM and I failed... I did everything step by step and it doesn't work. Or it doesnt boot at all or it craches in recovery mode while installing update.
This time i used some nightly unofficial and it stoped installing in recovery :S This is so annoyng
I downloaded stock lastest from code support for my Samsung S5830 because obviously there is non stable version of custom ROM right now.
I do not advise to go over Android 2.3.6 for S5830 or you will burn down your phone system...

Ok now you are unrooted on your new polish right. So now root it with UniversalGingerbreadroot.zip (google it.) Flash an older version of CWM(5.0) through the stock recovery. Finally install a stable custom rom initially do not go for CM roms as for testing try some other stock based rom and if successful you can advance to CWM.
All the best.

Here you'll find ROOT and CWM files to get ready your Ace, than you'll be able to install Customs STOCK Roms, CM7.x, CM9.x, CM10.x
Read carefully the threads in GT-S5830 Android Development section and follow the dev's instructions
PS: To get CM11.x you'll need to flash CWM6.x or TWRP
