Hi, problem starts when ROM is on the phone, everything works good, but when display dims, after few minutes phone goes into boot logo loop (no restarts no nothing, just goes into boot logo loop) and only way is to hold down power button to restart phone.
This happens to me with CM7, MIUI, ICS ports. I will try to describe how I do flashing.
1 -> Samsung Galaxy S with stock rom (xxjvt)
2 -> flashed CF-Root xx_jvt kernel (through odin) to root SGS
3 -> booted into recovery, wipe all four available things (cache, factory reset, dalvik, battery stats)
4 -> flashed CM7 (once)
5 -> flashed ICS (onecosmic's port) (once)
6 -> rebooted phone, everything works perfectly, but I can't let go phone into sleep mode.
I was asking for help before, and I got told to try to flash stock again, and then CM7 (because with CM7 happens the same for me)
So I went back to stock, but didn't flashed any custom rom because I was waiting for RC/Final versions of ICS port.
So does anyone have any clue how to fix this, or tell me the "Right or Best" way to flash custom roms.
Thank you.
The way I flash is:-
Backup all apps using titanium backup, then copy the titanium backup folder from the internal sd card to the external sd card.
Remove BOTH the simcard and the external sdcard, boot to recovery goto mounts/storage and format sdcard. (that wipes the internal card and removes all crap)
remove battery and replace, boot to DOWNLOAD then using ODIN flash the pit file (512), repartion, flash the stock rom (PHONE,MODEM and CSC files)
Phone will then boot to stock
Replace the sim and external sd.
Boot to DOWNLOAD again and flash your kernel, I use semaphore found no issues at all with it. Reboot phone.
Reboot into recovery, do your 4 wipes then
Flash your cm7 or custom rom you are wanting to use through cwm.
Flash any desired theme.
If the phone goes into any boot loop then I just flash VOODOO kernel via ODIN and then disable all the lags in cwm.
This usally lets me flash what ever I want..and I have flashed my phone too many times now
Hope this helps you matey
Thanks, I also got PM from lgsshedden with other possible way to solve this.
fallowed your guide now, everything went OK so far, will post back in few hours if my issue is solved, thanks.

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!
Trying to install the Cynogen ICS ROM, and when installing the .zip, it loads the Samsung flash screen with Cynogen, then get the green guy and loads of text for about half a second, then it just reboots. Over and over for about 10 mins. WHat went wrong? What should I do?
It happend the same to me.
I just removed the battery and put it back, entered in CWM and reinstalled the ROM.
Good luck!
I somehow got into a recovery mode, but with the assumption it would all go wrong again, tried to install the .zip Darky rom instead, went through the process and said it worked but then it just went back to the Cynogen loop problem!? I just tried a Restore instead, but I haven't rebooted yet, should I wipe everything again, and try the ICM .zip again?
Yep, just go with the whipe. I hope you did a backup.
OK turns out the Restore failed, so now trying to reinstall ICS .zip again. fingers crossed!
yep backed it up, not that its seems to have helped.
Well now it's stuck in the Galaxy S bootscreen...
that really sucks....did you deactivated the lagfix before running the rom?
If the problem persists you have to run a basic ROM using ODIN.
Yes deactivated the lagfixI can't get into recovery or anything now, except download mode.
Download mode is all you need to run a ROM with Odin.
I recommend Amestris, it is a good ROM, good battery life but the thread in not complete, there are some files missing...for now.
I've put some older ROM on I had, then tried to install ICS again but now when I use Clockwork, and select the file it goes to recovery but I can't select any zip files, just reboot back to this awful old ROM!
I had same issue when I installed ics, what I did that worked was pull battery and go back into cwm, reflashed ics zip and it fully installed that time. Had same experience when flashing cm7 before.
Not getting anywhere with this. I get an option to install zip from sdcard which is where the update is (an where the darky update also is which worked), but there is an option to update from internal SD, which is not where the file is. Is it in the wrong place?
I think you would be best to use Odin 1.3 to flash DarkyROM Ficeto JVT base rom.
are you sure those files are still on your sd card?
The reason you need to pull the battery and reflash the ICS rom a few times is because Samsung ROM (most) have a different partition layout to CM7 based roms (which the ICS port is one).

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
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?

- flash stock GB KKA ( with and without pit )
- flash rooted stock GB KJ1 ( with and without pit )
- flash stock ICS LRI ( with and without pit )
- flash stock ICS LRI then flash CF Root
- tried adb to push the a custom zip rom and boot directly in the installing but doesn't work
- tried repartition of the memory and reflash the stock roms
none of this seem to work always same problem i'm still stuck at the brand logo, oh and i tried putting the custom rom zip on external sdcard but it doesn't get detected in cwm

- unable to write to ums lumfile (no such file or directory)
I'm runing out of ideas, is there something that i missed ? all suggestions are appreciated, Many thanks
Did you get errors while flashing with Odin ? If not, you are clear fromm emmc bug.
Try doing a factory reset in recovery (wipe data, factory reset)

no i don't get error on odin, and yes i tried wiping data / cache/dalvik / format system / format emmc ... many times
nothing work :/
You should try to restore bootloader
1.Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery.
2.Wipe everything - Data,Cache,Dalvik Cache etc.
3.Then re-boot the device.
4.When it comes to the Samsung logo take out the Battery and then power on the device.
5.Wait 15 minutes-20 minutes and do something else in the meantime to ward of anxiety.
6.If the device doesn't start properly try removing sim and sd card and re-trying steps 2 to 5.
7.If that also fails then do step 2 to 4 and then enter download mode.
8.Flash stock GB or ICS.
9.When the device boots to the Logo, remove the battery.
10.Disconnect from PC and then re-boot and then wait for 15-20 minutes.
Just my two cents! Let me know if it works! If it doesn't then no other go then to take it to a service center.

better flash a GB rom.. does it say pass in odin and successful? if no, then paste the logs
Try flashing a stock ODEX rom. I'd personally go for the Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLC1, as its a full-wipe, rooted GB rom. Flash that in Odin and you shouldn't have any problems.

Flashing in odin is perfectly normal there is no errors no weird messages and it flash in normal time
Your last chance is to flash bootloader with Odin, anyway it wont be worst.
