[Q] Flashing to 2.3 causes boot loop... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having a problem that no matter which stock ROM i try and load, if it is a 2.3 I end up in a boot loop and have to go back to vodafone au eclair to get my phone booting again.
I was running XXJVO but the other day after installing some apps my phone froze and then wouldn't charge or boot. Flashing back to 2.1 seemed to sort out most of my problems but trying to go back to 2.3 (even via kies) results in a boot loop. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can try.
2.3 roms that i have tried:
XXJVR
XXJVO
Vodafone stock 2.3
Darkys rom 10.1 re
I also having problems with soft touch buttons they disappeared after Darkys and touck key FW update hasn't worked on any roms that i have tried 2.1 or 2.2
Anyone with suggestions would be greatly appreciated as don't wanna be stuck on 2.2!!

What cwm recvery do you have?
I would go into download mode, connect to ODIN and flash a voodoo kernal, go into recovery and turn off all the lags, I had a similar problem with bootloop and disabling all the lags cured it. Then do a wipe, reflash via ODIN to a stock firmware then flash your custom rom.
Hope this is of some help

[Q] Downgrading to Eclair via Odin does not work

I have flashed all sorts of 2.2 ROMS on my GT-I9000 ranging from stock JPC to Doc JPO and latest CyanogenMod beta.
Now I wanted to return to DDJG4, the official eclair firmware for out region. I flash it via odin with repartition enabled(512 pit). Everything goes fine, the phone boots up. One minute after boot up it shuts down again.
Any idea whats going on?

[Q] ROM Update gone bad, what to do ?

Hi,
Here's my story, I was running stock Froyo 2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy I9000 (India) and decided to give latest SpeedMod kernel (speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz.tar) a try, things went well and I flashed the kernel successfully via ODIN. After this I went ahead and enabled all recommended tweaks and lagfix (both data and system) this also completed successfully.
Now problem started when I followed this guide and did something wrong (I guess), I skipped the "Flashing SpeedMod Kernel" step as I was already on that and disabled the lagfix (Data + system) after disabling lagfix and rebooting android setup screen came up and my data was lost followed by lots of force closes - I went ahead and applied "galaxys-efsbackup.zip" and flashed "CM7 kernel" as instructed. After rebooting the phone was on CWM Recovery 3 and I tried "“mounts and storage” which did not worked.
Now, I have flashed back the SpeedMod kernal and back to CWM recovery 2.51 but restoring backups is not succeeding, pls. suggest how to get my phone back to a working state ?

Pls. anybody for rescue ?
just download your stock 2.2 rom and flash the stock firmware with odin... should fix your problem
I was on Froyo 2.2, can I update to 2.2.1 latest firmware ?
Also what ODIN version and options should I flash with.

[Q] I think I'm half bricked.. Help

Hello,
I own a I-897 Captivate model, and I had a custom 2.3.4 gignerbread rom recently..
Latley I tried to move to cognition becuase the other rom did problems for me..
So I followed the guide, and when I first flashed the kernel I wasn't using any pit file..
So it's just stuck on odin with nothing happening, so I closed odin and rebooted my phone.
Then the phone showed me a logo with phone and computer with X between them.
So I flashed again using the pit then I got to the recovery, where I tried to install the cognition 5.2 without succes, it finished the install, but when I rebooted it just kept switching between the boot screen of AT&T and Galaxy S GT I9000..
So I tried to use my Nandroid backup, but it just won't work, I tried to install it manually and still it isn't working..
So I tried to instal my previous rom and succeeded, but now when I reboot it it just loading the Talon logo, finishes it and stuck on the end of the loading without any action...
So, I can use the download mode and odin.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.
What build number is your phone

I have read tons of time,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod, but it seems when I get to the recovery it doesn't work..
I flashed the recovery through CWM, but its very limited and blue not bright green or yellow as always.
I only got 4 options:
Reboot
Re-Install packges
Wipe user data
Wipe cahce
How do I get my recovery work properly?
That's not CMW that's the regular 3e recovery. You'll need to flash a kernel with CMW built in or one with an alternate recovery (I usually use an Onix kernel)

I've flashed a full gingerbread stock rom, with boot loaders and it works fine,
but now I can't get to the download mode, so I cant flash the rooted kernel..
I'm stucked unrooted, How can I root it?
It's Gingerbread 2.3.3 UCKF1 Build stock rom.
Pull out your battery, Sim, and SD card. Plug your usb cable into a usb port on the back of your computer then plug it into your phone. Hold volume up and down then reinsert your battery, should boot into download mode.

[Q] Boot screen 'corrupt'

Since I installed a version of Darky's ROM a while back, my boot screen has always been corrupt. I get the Samsung Logo, then the screen becomes all pixellated for a few seconds. The phone then boots as normal and works fine.
Now I want to have a go at an ICS ROM, but when I boot into recovery mode, I have the same problem. The text is all corrupt and I cant read any of the options.
Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it?
Thanks
Have you tried just going to download and flashing stock rom using ODIN?
As buttwad said, flashing stock rom via ODIN is only solution...
i too faced this problem after darky's rom..
i flashed stock gingerbread via odin and now flashed Onecosmic's ICS 4.0.3 RC1..

[Q] Stuck in Bootling loop after installing ROM?

Hi all,,
Little bit worried here, I've just flashed RocketRom v7, and while everything was successful, I kept receiving reboots. It would go to the setup wizard, then after every page it would reboot, and now that I've managed to get into the homescreen, it reboots every 30 seconds now, not allowing me to connect to wifi or do ANYTHING :/
Any ideas?
I came from Rooted GB with Speedmod GB kernel.
Followed everything in this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BaWcZe51Ew&feature=plcp
Thanks!
Don't know what the cause of the problem is.
Flash stock gb rom with pc odin.
Do not select PIT or Bootloaders or repartition.
Flash normally. If it gets stuck in bootloop factory reset from the recovery.
Go back to stock lp3 GB rom via pc odin...root it and install cwm...flash redpill recovery..do all 3 wipes...and flash the rom..it should work..chk the videos in my sig for further assistance
Where can I find these Stock ROMs? I can only find the stock rooted ROMs, which don't seem to allow me to go past the green android at setup when flashing a rooted version of gb?

Its KL3....not LP3...
I ended up giving up and reverting back to stock 2.3.6 and flashed the Speedmod GB kernel ... all I wanted was RocketRom v7 working and I couldn't even get that done T_T
Thanks anyway
