settings / internet will not open after root and new ROM

I rooted and loaded 2 roms on the phone. First rom, everything was fine. The second rom, nothing works. I can not mount the phone, open settings, no contacts load, no internet and the three finger salute doesn't work. the secrete codes to get it back to factory ROM fails giving me an error about USSD codes. Any suggestions?

What roms did you flash. Were there lagfixes. Have you tried to flash stock with doin?
Captivate
Cog 2.2

First rom Cognition - that worked fine
Second Rom hybrid- after reboot, nothing 'Samsung' was working
I can't get the phone to mount in Windows OR Linux to load the stock rom

Which cognition? You may of had a lagfix installed that needed to be disabled prior to flashing something else. Do you have a pc or. A MAC. If pc search for odin. This will get you back to stock.
Captivate
Cog 2.2

[Q] Can't get into Clockworkmod (i9000m)

Hi,
I really need some help as I began to get crazy about this.
I also have to mention it's my first time into Root/Mod/Custom/etc...
I Have a GT-I9000M (BELL) with Android 2.2 (version FROYO.UGJK4) Kernel 2.6.32.9
I successfully Rooted the phone with Superoneclic (Have Super User app in menu)
I Installed Rom Manager 3.0.0.0 Then authorized sudo when prompted to do it.
After that in the recovery menu of Rom Manager i've downloaded the Clockworkmod thing. (2.5.1.2)
I've tried to boot into clockworkmod but I got the standard Recovery Boot from Samsung instead. (tried to re-install rom manager to see if work but no)
I also tried to install it by using the update.zip version got here http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0 and put it at the root of the internal sd.
Booted into the Samsung Recovery Boot and press apply Update.zip then i got
the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborded
(Tried Twice still nothing new)
The goal of all this is to install Darkys_v6.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Voodoo_signed seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
What do I do wrong???? Help me please i'm tired of the Android Froyo version from Samsung+Bell

To get ClockWorkMod compatibility, you need to use ROM Manager to start them.
This way, Voodoo recognize it's CWM recovery, intercept the call to the update.zip and install Ext4 wrappers.
If the new version is not yet available in ROM, be patient

I found the recovery app doesn't work very well. I suggest installing a kernel with CWM , that's compatible with Bell hardware? via Odin and you're good to go. From recovery menu you can do anything, including a full backup.

How to get from 3 to 2e? I'm on JPO 2.2. Thanks

It is not the first time i heard about 2e recovery and cwm
thing is: i'm new to all of this. Can someone explain me what those 2 things mean and do?
Do you mean that i have everything to do it right but there is something i do wrong or forgot?

You can find the thread called 'CFroot' at the android development section.
Download the correct version based on your current firmware and follow the instructions there. When you are done, your recovery would be 2e.

Sorry dude, the only solution would be to flash to an Eclair ROM (which by default has a 2e recovery) or flash Froyo which is supported by CFroot.

I have the same issue as well. Wanted to try Darky's v6.0 rom, however stucked in getting to CWM since I'm on 3e. I did look at CFRoot, but nothing stated for JK4.

This Might Work.... Although I Have A Different Phone (Cdma Hero), But Had A Similar Issue....
The Way I Was Able To Correct My Problem Was To Re-Install A Older Version Of "Rom Manager" (Let Me Know If You Have or Need A Older Version, I Keep'em All Now!! Lol!!
Also In "Rom Manager" I Would Try To Flash Alternate Recovery, And Then Clockwork Recovery Right After!! Make Sure It Says *Current Recovery* -And- *Latest Recovery* (Up At The Top) Then Try To Boot Into Recovery!!

Fresh Start
Ok well I got a good night of sleep so i'll resume where I am
I learned yesterday the following:
CMW: Clockworkmod
OCLF: One Clic Lag Fix
Now what I could try is to get back to Original Firmware of the GT-I9000M (Eclair) and from then what I've understood is that I don't need 2e recovery? Am I right?
From then I could install Darky without anything.
By going back this way will i'll stay root of will I have to root again?
If all this is right, how do i go back to eclair? can it be done via the 3e recovery menu or I have to flash? Is so I don't know anything about odin and the way it work so i'll need your help loll

here's what I did now:
Used Odin and Flashed my firmware to the previous one (2.1 Eclair.UGJH2)
Re-rooted
Re-installed Rom Manager
When in recovery mode i see 2e but it's the recovery from Samsung. Can't see the CWM......
Think i'm pretty close compared to yesterday from Darky 6.0 but STILL NEED CMW lolll
Fist timer Root and Flash never easy lolll

OK GUYS GOOD NEWS!!!!
Don't know what I did but CWM WORK NOW!!!!
What i've read somewhere is to never open the zip files (what i did). Got the idea of flushing them and download it again. This time it worked.
Gonna let you know when running Darky

----!!!!WORKING!!!!----
I Have Darky 6.0 Running on my Bell GT-I9000M!!!!!
First I want to thanx everyone of you who helped me out! You've been a great help.
Also I want to get the summary of my actions so Others could take advantage of this thread.
-Froyo version FROYO.UGJK4 (that is the official GT-I9000M update from BELL Mobility) was painfull to do anything so I downgraded to the eclair.UGJH2 (that is the Original Firmware from Bell)
First I've Rooted my phone using Superoneclic 1.5.5.0 that you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 (enable debuging mode on the phone in Settings-applications-developpement-debuging) then plug the phone and on superoneclic press ROOT...wait and follow indications
Then went to ODIN 1.7 that you can find here
http://www.general-search.com/fileinfo/20192867
You can find the BELL 2.1 firmware
here http://www.multiupload.com/ZNBT2RY5Y0 Password is samsung-firmwares.com
In odin i've used the 512.pit file (place it in the Pit section)
Then placed the 2.1 Firmware in the PDA section.
Took care Repartition, auto-reboot, F.Reset Time check box was check.
Booted in download mode (to get it right with odin i've booted in recovery first: Vol Up+Home+Power when bootscreen appear released it. After Pressed on Reboot now and immediatly pressed Vol DOWN+HOME+Power) I GOT THE BIG YELLOW LOGO OF ANDROID and in ODIN i got the Yellow icon appeared.
At this moment I've pressed START in odin and waited. The phone was acting like when updating through Kies.
When finished I was on ECLAIR
After, I've Re-Rooted the phone with superoneclic again.
Installed Rom Manager
Downloaded the CMW (CLockworkmod) that you can find here:
http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0 (DON'T OPEN THIS ZIP BECAUSE IT WILL BREAK THE SIGNATURE NEEDED TO VALIDATE THE FILE)
I've placed the update.zip file (CMW) at the root of the internal SD Card of the phone and rebooted into recovery mode. I went on the apply update.zip (first time it was not working, then second time it worked)
At this moment I was on Android 2.1, Rooted, and CWM Recovery was working.
To Install the Darky's v6.0 Gingerbread Edition, I've downloaded it here:
http://www.multiupload.com/YPQVS4WO9C (ONCE AGAIN DON'T OPEN THE ZIP)
I've placed it at the root of the phone (same place than update.zip)
Opened Rom Manager, and selected Install a Rom from SD Card.
I've selected the zip File and applied it.
Phone went into recovery mode by itself then started installing Darky. (took like 5 minutes but it is said to be between 5-10 minutes so...)
HURRAY I'M ON DARKY CUSTOM ROM!!!!
PS: (at boot screen GT-I9000M will change to GT-I9000), Boot Screen Animation will also change for the Nexus One Boot animation.
Took me a day and half from Noob to This but hope other Bell user (or SGS user) will find their solution here.
Now let me alone I have to play with my new toy lolll

Just got back home. I will follow your footsteps. Do you have 850 mhz band ?
You with Bell ? Any problem making and receiving calls using Darky's rom ?

Followed your steps. Now I'm running Darky's v6.0 rom.

Even if it's a Bell phone, i'm using it on rogers.
I don't have any band problems(yes i have the 850 band). In fact, since i'm on Darky it look like if the wifi and phone antenna is far better. I got reception in places i wasn't before...and can even say GPS lock my position accuratly in less than 10 sec
Everything is.better since darky run on my phone

[Q] Stuck in bootloop...need help

So I updated the MIUI on my Cappy from whatever I had before to 2.3.30 that is GB 2.3.7 from this location:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/archived-miui-versions-captivate-gb.16558/
I didnt care for it so I downloaded SlimICS. I downloaded the base and the cappy essentials. Put them both on my internal sd. I factory reset, wiped data, cache and system and dalvic, just as i do for every phone i work on. I ran the SlimICS base and now it keeps rebooting and going back into recovery and doing this:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Slim ICS
Once Slim ICS pops up, it reboots and does it all over. I can yank the battery and manually go into recovery, but if i try to boot it up normal, it goes back into the loop. I am on CWM 5.0.2.7 also.
So what did i miss?

GB bootloaders most likely missing - flash 'em using Heimdall. And SlimICS doesn't have modem. So. Flash my ROM for a change may be.

Sounds like you just need to flash again. You have to do that when you are going from GB to ICS, and vice versa I believe.

And you flashed the base and the cappy essentials right? Not just the base

I never could get that far because it was the base that I started to install and it got bootlooped on, everytime it restarted, it went back into recovery and started to run the base again, and repeated boot loop. I read somewhere that teamhacksung's rom would get me over the GB to ICS bridge. This one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
It did the bootloop to, but when i yanked the battery and went back in and installed it a 2nd time, it didnt restart and installed correctly. After that I installed SlimICS. But I dont like it as much as i thought i would and now when i try to reinstall teamhacksung ROM, it errors out during the beggining of the installation. The MD5 is still fine. I dont think it likes the version of CWM recovery that SlimICS installed. I know CWMR went to an older version when i went from teamhacksung to SlimICS.

Flash glitch kernel first. Also, don't use the builds from that thread, it is old. Just flash the latest CM9 nightly

Also stuck in bootloop reverting to Gingerbread
I am also stuck in boot loop after attempting to restore back into Gingerbread.
Here's how I got in this mess: I had been running Gingerbread on my Captivate for several months (rooted). I decided it was time to try upgrading to Jelly Bean (cm9 version). I installed ClockworkMod Recovery and that appeared to be working, so I made a NANDroid and proceeded to install CyanogenMod on my phone.
It booted OK, but I didn't like it and figured I'd just revert by restoring my NANDroid. Only thing is, it didn't restore correctly and my phone was stuck at the initial AT&T "bars" screen.
So I attempted to reboot in recovery and restore my latest update.zip. This did not seem to help at all. My phone would just boot to the AT&T screen and be stuck there. I checked to see adb was reachable behind the scenes but it wasn't.
After that I loaded Odin 1.85, downloaded a copy of the stock Captivate ROM, unzipped it and loaded it to my ROM (using the method described in this link I'm not allowed to show you because I'm a new user), more or less.
Odin said it was successful, but the phone is now still stuck in a boot loop. The ClockworkMod Recovery options are gone from the recovery menu. Now it looks like my stock recovery menu. There are some diagnostics on the recovery screen:
-- Copying media files --
E: failed to mount /dbdata (Invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media: Can't mont /dbdata
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu
for format and reboot actions.
Meida files copy failed.
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Applied CSC-code 'ATT'
Successfully copied multi-CSC.
-----
the bold text indicating errors appears in orange.
I tried "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" and rebooting. This had no apparent effect. The Captivate still continues to loop on reboot.
What next? It seems like it's missing something it needs to boot that's not in the standard Gingerbread Captivate image I downloaded with Odin. What else do I need to do? Keep in mind that right now the only way I can get files onto the phone is Odin (or similar) via the USB port. The phone never gets booted enough to get to it with adb, let alone mounting as a drive on my computer.
Thanks

While searching threw all this mess on this site and various other :
I did stumble on something that might help u get your cwm

Odin has multi file upload for stock alone check to make sure you selected right one . then just reflash should be good
mine i examine really thoroughly and figure out i try to jump to high .
i had stock then firefly then darkfire which is based off i900 <> Cappy rom bad <>idea on my part i try to jump to paranoid rom from darkfire '
don't think files were save to SD internal card - download section instead so firmware lost track of it self .
reviewing errors made on my part order 2 jig for my 2 cappys
my plan use jig get into download flash back to stock using odin one click using kies flash to froyo and stick with it for another six months
while reading everything i need to know about flashing that high up , besides that rom will become more stable less bugs and it will give me
time to see what errors occurs with this phone model on that rom last time i check there was only 7 posted user using it
again i was trying to flash paranoid rom for Samsung captivate SGH_I897'' I hope you get your issue resolved.
If u try one click unbrick and on win xp uninstall kies the drivers will not work together log in to administrator account <> just Google it if not on welcome screen there a few ways to get into that account,, but that did work for me on my cappy . let me know how u make out. ??

HG_User,
U can't go back to GB (or froyo/eclair) from CM, MIUI, ICS, JB, AOSP etc., etc. without using Odin or Heimdall---because of the different partitions used---Stock firmware is bml/rfs and all the AOSP etc etc are mtd/yaffs(2).
And u can only restore a backup when u r back running the base rom where u made the back up.
Use this...Stock i897ucKK4 GB 2.3.5 with or without bootloaders... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912
This kk4 should get u going. Then u can use Odin to flash Corn Kernel to get a cwm back...:thumbup:

... one step on the way: Back to Eclair
thanks for the advice. Ultimately, I decided I should use Odin 3 1-click to revert back to original (2.1 Eclair) firmware that I found on the first post of thread titled
[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY
This is a huge step forward because it makes my phone work, but it's also a step back in time to the early Eclair days.
Now my next step is to upgrade back to Gingerbread...
Edit: Thanks to all who pointed me in the right direction. I took the phone back to Eclair then used Samsung KiesMini (twice) to get it back to Gingerbread. After re-rooting and removing the AT&T Bloatware, it works fine again. I might try upgrading again to ICS or JB, but I didn't like Cyanogen 9 at all. Maybe I'm just used to the way AT&T polishes the UI, but Cyanogen didn't appeal at all. Now looking for a relatively polished but lightweight ICS or JB version... Also, it would be nice if when I upgrade it preserves the installed apps and what's on my home screens, but that seems unlikely going from AT&T-branded Gingerbread to an independent ICS or JB.

[Q] Rooting i9000, 2.3.6, XXJVU, which version of the kernel etc. files do I need?

Dear XDA developers,
I wish to ask for help upgrading my Samsung Galaxy S1 (I9000) software to a better version, because the phone currently seems sluggish to me. The details of my phone, as seen in "About phone", are as follows:
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: I9000XXJVU
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVU-CL851880 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJVU
Using *#1234# on the keypad tells the following:
PDA: I9000XXJVU
Phone: I9000XXJVU
CSC: I9000OXAJVU
Build Info: Thu Dec 29 16:42:13 KST 2011
My phone is not rooted, as far as I know it is currently running a stock ROM. A previous owner of the phone had flashed various ROMs but had returned it to stock before I received the phone.
If I understand correctly, I need to start the upgrade process by rooting my phone. How do I do that for my phone version? I've seen references to Odin and to various ZIP files containing kernels made by Chainfire, but I don't know which version of Odin, and which ZIP file, is correct for my phone.
I apologize if you have answered these questions many times over, I've spent time reading FAQs and tutorials, but I did not find a suitable one: in particular, my baseband version ends with XXJVU whereas many tutorials refer to e.g. XXJW4 or XXJW5. I found a thread that mentions "JVU", but it was about flashing JVU and rooting, whereas my phone already has XXJVU but is not rooted.
Thanks for any help!

Thanks a lot both to Soryuu and to compacity, I followed your instructions and they worked on the first attempt, so now my phone is rooted.
For the benefit of others, below is a detailed list of what I did. Steps 4 and 9 are just precautions/doublechecks, the rest are part of the actual rooting process, and basically correspond to Chainfire's "Instructions (long)" in post 3 of this thread.
My steps for rooting my phone:
I downloaded the ZIP file with the kernel from Soryuu's link, and extracted the .tar file out from the ZIP.
I downloaded a version of Odin: I checked Chainfire's descriptions in this thread, and found that the version of Odin compatible with the Galaxy S1 i9000 is Odin version 1.83 (newer versions are apparently not compatible with i9000 anymore), so I downoaded version 1.83 from the link in that thread.
I checked that my phone can enter download mode, using the instructions here. I did not yet flash anything at this stage, instead I just rebooted the phone.
I backed up my data. I manually wrote down notes that I had entered in the stock "Memo" app, I synced e.g. my calendar to Google, and I backed up the data in some of my downloaded apps to files on the , using their own backup features. I also wrote down my phone info like the info in my original post, my IMEI number, and so on: basically everything I can see in "System settings/About phone", "System settings/About phone/Status", and from typing *#1234# on the keypad; also anything in "Mobile network settings" in case there are some operator settings I would not remember. Lastly, I USB-connected my phone to my computer and copied all the backup files, and also things like camera files (DCIM directory) to the computer.
I disconnected the phone from the computer and turned it off.
I started the Odin version I had downloaded, called "Odin3 v1.83.exe" (I ran it as administrator, just in case it needed administrator permissions for something). In the Odin interface I clicked the "PDA" button, then selected the .tar file I had downloaded. I then looked at the "Re-Partition" checkbox to make sure it was not activated.
I put my phone into download mode, and then USB-connected it to the computer. Windows took some time to install some drivers. After Windows was done installing its drivers, I clicked the "Start" button in Odin.
Odin performed some operations, and the messages in the Odin window reported success. My phone rebooted at the end, I waited for the reboot to complete.
After the phone had rebooted, I checked to see that it now had "CWM" (CWM Manager v2.0) and "Superuser" apps installed. The CWM app reported that I was currently running kernel "CF-Root 4.3" as desired.
Now that my phone is rooted, I could next proceed to upgrading the operating system by flashing a ROM. A few questions about that:
I would also like to ask your recommendation: what is a good ROM to upgrade to? I am not looking for the latest features, mostly I hope to achieve better speed and responsiveness for the phone, especially considering the limited memory in Galaxy S1. Is it worth going to Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROMs, or should I stay with Gingerbread ROMs, or even stay with the stock ROM?
If I flash a new ROM and dislike it after all, can I go back to the ROM I started from if I have made a backup with CWM, simply by restoring that backup? Or would I need to download a Samsung stock ROM from somewhere and flash that?
Thanks again for any help!

1)I dont recomend ROMs because its personal. You can look at developement section and see which one you will like the most..
2)Most ROM threads provide install instructions but ill provide "universal" one:
A) Download your ROMs zip file and place it on your INTERNAL (!) Sdcard
B) reboot to CWM recovery
C) (navigate with volume keys / home key = confirm)from there go to "backup and restore" and make a backup (make sure you have enough space on INTERNAL (!) sdcard
D) After the backup go to wipe data / factory reset. Click ok. After that go to wipe cache. And after that go to Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache.
E) now youre ready to click on flash zip from sd card click it and select rom file and confirm... (install google apps if told by tutorial for specific rom.)
You should be running new rom.
And yes, you can restore backup by going to CWM > backup ans restore > restore > (select your backup)
Hope ive been some help! If what happens, you can always ask me (PM / this thread (but pm is better ) i will try to help you as much as i can

Dear foggydisaster and others,
please help, I tried your instructions but something has gone wrong.
I tried installing the RemICS-JB ROM from this thread, using your instructions (which are the same as the instructions in that thread), but something went wrong.
Here is what happened:
I copied the ROM ("RemICS-JB_v5.zip") onto my phone's internal SD card.
I rebooted into CWM, and selected "Wipe data/ factory reset". That completed successfully.
I then selected "Wipe cache", again it completed successfully.
I then selected "Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache", which completed successfully.
I then selected "Install zip from sdcard", and picked "RemICS-JB_v5.zip". At this point something went wrong. Instead of completing the whole installation, the phone rebooted, and showed a "Powered by MacKay kernel" screen, and froze there.
After waiting some time, I tried turning off the phone, but it immediately rebooted, and again froze at the "Powered by MacKay kernel" screen. This happens every time I try to turn off the phone.
I tried getting into download mode; it seems I can still do this.
I then tried getting into recovery mode, and I was able to do so, but it was not CWM recovery, it was "MacKay recovery (twrp) v2.5.0.0".
I tried going into "Install" in MacKay recovery, and tried to reinstall "RemICS-JB_v5.zip", but I got the following message: "Installing '/sdcard/RemICS-JV_v5.zip' ...; Checking for MD5 file...; Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.; Verifying zip signature...; E:Zip signature verification failed: 1 ; Error flashing zip '/sdcard/RemICS-JB_v5.zip'; Updating partition details...; E:Unable to mount '/data' ; E:Unable to mount '/system'
So that's where my phone is currently stuck. I tried checking to see if I could restore my CWM backup, but MacKay does not seem to find my CWM backups.
How can I rescue my phone from this situation? Thanks for any help!

I think you should try reflash stock gingerbread (!) with ODIN with pit (512) and repartition checkbox hit (upper left corner) Then root it with CF-ROOT kernel. and retry flash the ROM with instructions i gave you earlier. But this time when your phone suddenly freaks out and quits recovery - its normal... Just wipe everything again from TWRP interface (If you get confused ill tell you how to) and reflash it and you shoud be good... Try that and tel me what happens

[Q] Crash on "setting permissions"

Well guys... I'm afraid that I'm in big trouble at the moment.
Hopefully this might sound familiar and some smart guys can help me out.
This afternoon I flashed the latest version of the Galaxy Project ROM for the i9305. I came from v16.10, and some older version of Philz Recovery. Flashed everything with the Aroma installer, without any troubles, and it worked. During the installation process, I've selected to install the newest v6.48.4 of Philz.
After a few hours, I wanted to re-flash the rom again, because I didn't like the transparent theme. But.. whenever I flash it now, the process stops at "Setting permissions". Then the phone shuts down, and reboots into recovery. Tried with both Philz and CWM recovery, latest versions and slightly older. Don't know that the issue is, recovery problem?
With the new versions of these recoveries, there is no more " fix permissions" option, that would be my first idea.
I cannot restore my older back-up, which sucks. And I really don't want to perform a "clean install" with losing all my files, as I just came back from half a year in South Africa and all my photos are still on my internal SD
Hopefully someone can help me out
Regards
EDIT: Turns out that I got this issue also if I try to flash other roms.
If I flash a stock version of Android 4.3 via Odin, do I keep all my photos? Can anyone confirm this?

Odin shouldn't touch internal storage, unless you explicitly tell it to.
