Weird problem when flashing CM7 Help!

Hi,
I have many times tried to flash CM7, but always happens weird thing.
I have stock 2.3.5 XXJVS with Semaphore 2.5.0 kernel
1.I boot into CWM
2.I wipe cache then wipe data/factory reset then i go advanced and choose wipe Dalvik cache
3.Choose .zip from sd card
4.I choose update-cm7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
5.My phone flashes it
6.It reboots
7.Normal Galaxy S GT-i9000 then Galaxy S
Cyanogen Mod
8.It goes to recovery and posts text very fast then reboots again
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

[Newbie needs help 2] I Just installed temasek's KANG build

I'm new here and the first ROM I've tried installing was RC1 91 but after I finished the procedure, my phone doesn´t leave LG home screen and rebooting after 5 sec. What did I do wrong?
Steps:
- Root;
- Download the ROM;
- Copy in external memory;
- Power off the phone;
- Boot in recovery;
- Backup current ROM;
- Wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset;
- Wipe dalvik cache
- Finally, flash ROM and reboot.
And the restore isn´t work too.

Do you have p990 or p999?

P990 and i was running 2.3.4 V20l Euro Open

What recovery version do you have?, the CWM "touch" version HAS issues with flashing, try an older version , non touch, also its a lot better flashing from the external SD card than the internal memory (a.k.a. internal SD). (I use 5.0.2.7, you can grab it at Temasek thread, second post)
I had flashing issues and here is how they are throubleshoted:
1: Reflash, sometimes CWM (recovery) make bad flashes, reflash, sometimes it work.
2: Format everything, choose factory reset, then flash again, no need to wipe cache or dalvik because everything is wiped except recovery.
3: Use a script to get partition back to ext3, when a rom uses ext4 it automatically changes it BUT when you install a ext3 rom it does NOT reformat back to ext3, it leaves it in ext4 and thus doesnt work.
4: Try another rom, an older or a different rom, I had this issue with topogigi rom once and the modaco rom its 100% incompatible with my phone... dont ask why no one knows.
5: Use a different CMW version, this is no. 5 if you have a non touch version (mine for ej. has modded menus) but if you have the touch version it has issues with flashing, temasek had problems with his own roms...

you're missing one thing you should format/data factory reset first. of course the restore doesn't work because CM7 converts yours system to ext4. while stock rom the system is ext3.
you should try this script
Code:
http://etana.donka.hu/?dir=scripts
if you like you should full wipe or use nvflash recovery there is a thread there in development thread or from this one
Code:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
.
the difference between that script and nvflash is the method. vadonka scripts use CWM. and nvflash use the driver for your computer, if you use method nvflash you have already rom v10b.
after you already use nvflash / full wipe in vadonka script, you can flash cm7 again.
or if you like you can search in development section there is convert to ext3 back of course this method is delete your whole partition
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021549
did you backup your apps first like using titanium backup??
or maybe this method you can use recovery with nvflash but i think with this method you should have your boot.img backup first i haven't tried this method

Alive!
Thank you guys! I get to restart my phone via smartflash, and now I'm scared to flash ROMs via clockworkmod...Thus, I'll be a long time with this official ROM.

nah don't be affraid to flash roms, it has many great roms rather than stock LG. just backup your data at least and then flash any roms you want.
stock LG is crap, your hardware can't show its performance...

If you've managed to use smartflash then you've got no reasons to be affraid

Can't flash in CWM

Hey Guys,
I have this problem where i cant seem to flash to any new roms in CWM with the new roms in zip files on my SD card.
I have tried flashing to new kernels but it doesn't seem to change anything.
The last rom i flashed was Criskelo v7 and i haven't changed because i cant every time i try to flash something new in CWM it seems like it only just starts to do it then freezes and i leave it because it might be working and it always end up rebooting and then i find I'm back on Criskelo v7 as if its a fresh install and it need my google account / full setup as if its new but no new rom.
I have also tried updating CWM with odin it works to update odin but it still cant flash any new roms.
Am i doing something wrong? please if anyone has any idea let me know.
Sorry if this has been covered but i really did try and find similar problems.
Thanks

Flash ANy ROMS
Dr_Rag
if you want to flash any roms using cwm,
1. Flash Safe kernels like Hydracore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863) or Philz Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270).
2. Reboot in recovery
3. Do all 3 wipes (wipe data, wipe cache partition & wipe dalvik cache)
4. Flash romzip
5. Reboot
If you want to flash XXLS7 TW JB Dump Based Roms , then
1. Flash Safe kernels like Hydracore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863) or Philz Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270).
2. Reboot in recovery
3. Do all 3 wipes (wipe data, wipe cache partition & wipe dalvik cache)
4. Format /system & /preload in mount and storage
5. Flash romzip
6. Reboot
BTW what rom you are going to install

I had a similar issue and it was a root issue.
To see if it is the same for you, if you have SuperSU, open it, and press 'Continue' if prompted to update binary. If this fails, your problem is root related, the solution of which is below. Unfortunately I don't know how else to test if you don't have SuperSU or if the update prompt doesn't appear.
Below is how I fixed the problem. It may not work for you, and if it doesn't, it's not my fault.
Also note this method will fix the issue no matter what caused it, and wipes data, so backup what you need. It also assumes your ROM is flashable.
1 Put your ROM anywhere in /storage/sdcard0 on your phone.
2 Go to hotfile.com/dl/155490069/c7932d4/N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_DBT.zip.html on your computer to download N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_DBT.
4 Extract this to produce N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5.
5 Flash this through Odin.
6 After your phone reboots (you can't get into the actual OS so you must do this in the Samsung boot animation), enter recovery.
7 Wipe data and cache.
8 Enter download mode.
9 Go to puu.sh/1q5mJ to download GL_NOTECORE_HYDRACORE_v4-3b_STD.tar.
10 Flash this through Odin.
11 After your phone reboots (you don't need to wait to get into the actual OS - you can do it in the Samsung boot animation), enter recovery.
12 Flash your ROM.

Need help with Alliance ICS Final ROM

Hi all,
I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place but as a newbie I cannot post in the thread of the ROM I have trouble with.
So, atm I'm trying to flash Alliance ROM Final ICS to my N7000 but I'm having some troubles with it. I have followed all of the instruction correctly, I have tried installing it either via ROM Customizer or CWM.
With ROM Customizer: when I was trying to flash the zip file then the phone reboot and takes me to the recovery window with error notification.
With CWM: After flashing the kernel (I tried both with Speedmod 3-13 and also Hydracore 4.3b STD), reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik, and then flash the ROM zip file. The ROM installed and says it finish. Then I choose go back and reboot the system. However, instead of continuing to install and to show Alliance bootanimation, the ROM that actually loaded is my old ROM which is Chrack 14 (also with Chrack bootanimation).
So basically, even though it looks like that the ROM successfully being installed, the fact is it failed. It looks like that this Chrack ROM very persistent to be uninstalled from my phone
Do you guys have any ideas what's happening here and what could be the problem?
FYI, my current ROM is Chrack 14 with Speedmod 3-13 as the kernel.
I really need your help guys. Believe me, I won't hesitantly ask you questions if I haven't read and follow instruction which are given by the developer of the ROM about how to install it correctly.:cyclops:
Really appreciate any inputs or solutions for my problems.
Thanks in advance guys.

boot into recovery and go to mounts and storage > then format system,data and cache. this will clear up the old rom. then try to install Alliance again.
Note: this will erase the system partition and there will be no rom to boot with if the install of new rom failed. so make sure you put all the required files in the phone before doing the formats. also to be extra prepared another rom may be.

Thanks for the reply. Uhm, what's the risk should it failed to flash the new ROM? And what will be the solution should it really fails at the end?
Is there any other safer options and maybe anyone can explain the possibilities that causing my current problem?
Also what do you mean by "the required files" here? And where i should put the files? In the internal memory or sd card?

Not much.. only you need to install a different rom or boot into download mode and flash a stock rom using PC odin

i mean the files required to flash the rom.. and CWM can flash from both storages so it really doesnot matter

[Q] Unable to install Jellybean

Hi all,
Can someone guide me (step by step) how to install jellybean on my device.
Device details:
Model: Spice Mi410
ROM: MacLite-FB0 v1.3 (GB 2.3.4)
Kernel: Apps_2.6.32.9-perf
CWM: Recovery v5.0.2.3
Baseband: PR232
I want to install "cm-10-Ideos-X6-v0.2".
So, I got the ROM and also got the kernel "35.7-oct.4-cmx" & recovery menuu "Recovery Menu 2.0.0.1 for 4XXX baseband (kernel 2.6.35.7)".
Now, can someone guide me the sequence of operations to install JB?
I tried different combination of sequences CWM, Kernel & ROM but couldn't do it
(If I flash CWM first then I don't get recovery menu again so can't flash the ROM.
If I flash ROM first then it doesn't boot. I can go to the recovery menu and flash the CWM but it didn't help.
Also flashing kernel at all different point, didn't help me.)

1. Put the downloaded new rom. (.zip) to your SD card
2. Install Tjstyle RC3 via SUT 1.8 (RC3 comes with CWM preinstalled.)
3. Go to 'backup and restore ' and take a backup
4. Format Data, Cache and Dalvik
5. Install the zip from SD card
6. Reboot system and you are done
7. Reboot once again and login to your google account
