[Q] Phone won't boot after cleaning Cache+Dlavik on ICS. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys! First of all-sorry for being one of those people who post a question on thier first post.
I've been happily using TEAMHACKSUNG's ICS Build 15 for a couple of months with zero problem.
Restarted the phone a few hours ago in Recovery mode and cleared Cache+Dlavik Cache and after that, the phone couldn't boot. The Samsung screen shows first, then the CYANOGEN MOD screen, and Smasung again..in a loop.
Tried getting to Recovery mode, and nothing...same problem..
Download mode worked.
Please help me fix this situation. Hopfully without a full system wipe...\=
Thanks in advance! [=

Please help....I'm smartphone-less \=

Try flashing the rom again

I've flashed the stock CM7 Kernel and know I can get to recovery.
unfortunately, I don't have the rom's zip file on the internal card to flash it. I've managed to put the rom on the external sd card, but as it seems, there is no way to flash it through the external card.
I did a backup of my system thru CWM [don't have another one]. Thought of maybe flashing stock GB in odin, then CM7, then Teamhacksung's build 15, and then restore the backup I've just did.
Will it work or maybe there's a better idea?
Thanks!

Flash stock rom via Odin and the vf root

I've flashed CM9 build 15 through all the instructions, with a couple of wipes in between...
Then, restored the nandroid backup and when all done-a weird colorful stripes appeared and nothing. So I installed Build 15 again and the phone booted!
Only problem now is for some reason, Messages aren't working, aswell as Facebook. And all my contacts gone [not a problem, but still-they were supposed to restore after the nandroid..]
Did I do something wrong? Can I fix the messages problem somehow?
Thanks in advance!

sounds long and annoying but it could work for you too...

Dude, download it http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble/FixRecovery.tar.md5 and flash it via odin at PDA , than go to recovery snd flash kernel again. And remember if u making a wipe at ics base rom, flash again kernel, its normal..

I've already managed to restore my rom with the nandroid backup. It's the messages that aren't working...
Well, I think I'll backup all of my stuff and try the Onecosmics rom...

[Q] Noob in Need. Note in NoDroidLand

Hello All,
I rooted for the first time my Note 2 weeks ago, just with the Basic CMW and proper root to my kernel. It worked fine, but I wanted more, so I decided to try RR by Eybee.
Downloaded the RR v20, passed it to my SD Card.
I wiped the phone through CMW.
Flashed the .zip file.
I'm now stuck on the initial loading screen of Rocket Rom, it just keeps restarting.
I know I ****ed up someway, and would really appreciate someone's help...
Ty
I hope you did a nandroid back up in recovery before you flashed? Because if you didn't you are indeed up creek without a paddle. It is always recommended to do a backup before you flash anything through recovery. If you didnt then go on you're computer download another rom to you're ad card go into recovery and flash it or get the original ruu rom and flash that.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
No I have not.. I did full sys+data recovery through Titanium backup. I can't access CMW , to be honest I only did it through the phone itself... I can only access the Download Mode and tried to flash back the ROM I used to root the phone, which was useless.
Am I missing some really obvious way to access CMW without being able to initialize the phone?
...
Edited:
Found it:
Going to wipe, resintall root that worked and go from there ty.
Edited:
Reinstalled Rocket Rom through CMW (Up Vol+Power Button+Menu)
Wiped.
Reinstalled.

Bootloop on all ROMs?

Hello everyone.
For a few days I've been having an annoying issue with my SGS.
For months I've been flashing many ROMs, especially ICS ones, and I never had any problems when I followed the instructions.
But since last tuesday, I regularly get bootloops with no reason. An hour ago, I flashed Gummy 1.2 on my phone, set everything up, configured my account and everything else. Then, I put one of the latest builds on my phone, tried to reboot to recovery as usual, but it began to bootloop. I didn't flash anything new for it to happen, and I can't seem to get why it does it.
I can't access to Recovery (freezes at kernel startup screen), only to Download mode. This means I have to reflash GB with Odin everytime it happens, then CM9 back, and then a custom ICS.
It never happened before tuesday, and it seems recurrent now, no matter what ROM, Kernel or Modem I use.
I've had my phone for almost two years, is it getting used up?
I'd appreciate if somebody could help me!
Have you tried a complete wipe including format internal sd? Then flash fresh gingerbread base.
Slim 4.2_Semaphore 1.2.5s_Cobalt Theme
If you lose recovery flashing the Odin semaphore kernel usually does the trick

Yeah, I also think that'll do the trick if it happens again. But i'd rather prevent it than fix it every time. Thanks anyways
You could try flashing back to gb using my recovery kit, see if it helps, in the zip is all you need

Thanks mate, really, but I have no problem flashing back to GB.
My issue is that i'm getting Bootloops without any reason.
Flashed Gummy 1.2 back, no problem since yesterday, recovery's clean for now.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Little "update". So far so good since yesterday, but could it be kernel-related?
Every time I had this issue, I ran Semaphore 1.2.2s.
Anyways, thanks a lot for trying to help me, I appreciate it, and if it happens again, be sure I'll try what you told me

[Problem] [Solved] Help cant access recovery while on ICS

Update: Solved
Thank you for everyone's reply and help.
What worked for me:
Downloaded Mobile ODIN v3.10
Downloaded Goku v1.5-10 TAR (Kernel-Goku-V1.5-10.tar)
Flashed firmware with Mobile Odin with MD5 signature check
Can now boot into recovery
Currently on:
CM9 Version 9-20120515-Nightly-n7000
Build date Tue May 15 23:06:26
Kernel version 3.0.30-CM-q6804ca8
I cant seem to get into recovery while using any of the ICS roms. I've tried several CM9 bulds, Kindgroid, Stunner and a few others. I doesn't matter if i try to access it through the hardware keys (press and hold the Volume UP+Home+Power) or through one of the software options (reboot into recovery). After the samsung logo apears the screen will turn black. I'll have to restart the phone with the power key.
Everything else seems to be fine. I can get into download mode just fine. I have no problems downgrading to a gingerbread rom from pc odin or mobile odin. Also theirs no problem for me getting into recovery from any of the gingerbread roms I've tried.
I first noticed this while I was on ICS stunner. It was the build with the affected kernel. Everything was running smooth for me. Recovery and everything else seemed to be working fine but when i started reading posts about the brick scare i became afraid of doing anything else on that kernel.
I followed Entropy512's advise:
If you are running an affected kernel:
STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY. FLASH A SAFE KERNEL USING ODIN/HEIMDALL.
DO NOT wipe in recovery
DO NOT flash anything else in recovery
In general, DO NOT use recovery at all
I flashed his DAFUQ releas using mobile odin while still on stunner. Everything seemed to go smooth. After flashing I checked under setting -> about phone -> kernal version and his kernel was properly displayed. I tried going into recovery but the screen would turn black after the samsung logo.
I've must of done something wrong while flashing Entropy512's kernel because ever since I flashed his kernel I havent been able to get into recovery while running an ICS rom.
TL;DR
Cant access recovery from ICS roms but recovery works fine while on gingerbread roms
Did you try before flashing ics do a 3 wipes first while in girgerbread for a clean installation?

Yeah it was one of the 1st things I tried when I encountered the problem.
Can anyone confirm if the recovery is stored in the same place for both ics and gingerbread? I feel like I might have damaged some sectors and might have some bad blocks. Everything else seems fine though.

How about 4 wipes including format/system and also use jbroid even though your not installing a kernel but rom still use it.
Flash stock GB rom. Reroot it and then check everything is working fine? If yes then flash ICS rom.

I've tried jbroid and formatted system but it didnt help. Like I said... everything is fine on GB, recovery and everything else. I've been back and forth several times already. Everything seems to be working fine on ICS too. I just can't access recovery no matter what I do while on ICS. I'll try wiping 4 times from gingerbread this time.

In the system setting of the phone there is back up and reset and there you can format usb storage, this will format your internal sd, this is in ics setting i forgot about gingerbread. You can do this while in gingerbread to be safe, format your internal sd.

Yes.. I've tried that before installing my current ICS rom. Actually I formatted both the internal and external SD while still on GB. I'm still wondering if the recovery stored in the same partition space in both GB and ICS. I can't understand why I can access CWM recovery on GB but not while I'm on ICS.
i too have the same problem even though i can access cwm manually cant install any zip file but if i use abyssnote kernell everything works fine the problem started when switched over to ics from gb

Wiping more than once is pointless... I don't know where people get silly ideas like "wipe 3 times".
When you switched to something else, did you flash it using CWM or Odin?
Try flashing a different kernel using Odin. I have seen that in rare cases on some devices, doing something like the following:
Flash one kernel from a recovery
Reboot directly to recovery using CWM's Advanced menu
At this point, the device will be stuck either always booting to recovery or never booting to recovery
Flashing a kernel with Odin/Heimdall - NOT "Mobile Odin" (I hate that name because it's completely different from Odin) or CWM often breaks these loops.
problem accessing recovery
hi today i solved my problem of not unable to find cwm in programs and flashing zip files from recovery while on ics. first i flashed abyssnote kernell then rebooted into recovery did all the three wipes and in addition formatted data, system and cache. then used jbroid kernell cleaner. installed fusion rom flashed green theme rebooted at last could see cwm in programs can flash any zip file now
Thank you sir for your swift action.

phone won't boot after flashing cm10 and going back to stock via nandroid

Hi guys,
I just need some short advise:
My dad flashed CM10 nightly a few days ago.
Before that he had a stock froyo rom (i don't know which version exactly) but with root and CWM.
Flashing CM10 worked but he had same bugs (baseband deleted, reboots every 10 minutes), so he flashed CM9 stable hopeing to get these things right. but it didn't, baseband was still gone. So he decided to restore his nandroid backup and go back to his froyo stock.
but that ended in a total disaster and the phone won't boot anymore. it is stuck at the white "Galaxy S" screen (before boot animation).
My dad said, that he tried to restore his backup a 2nd time. but he got many errors including "unknown volume for path /data"
He is a little bit frightened that he could brick his phone completely so he asked me for help.
Well, I don't know what to do besides flashing a stock gingerbread rom + kernel +baseband/modem with Odin.
Am I right with this? Or do you guys got some other advise for me.
thanks for help
try factory reset must done after restore
are you sure?
shouldn'd this be done before restore?
by doing a wipe, I would need to do 2 restors in order to keep my apps..
As the partition layout of CyanogenMod and stock are different, and thus stock partition layout is needed, you have to flash stock using Odin with pit512 and partition enabled. After that restore should work as well.
Besides: If baseband is missing in CM, try to flash a CM modem.

Galaxy S I9000 won't boot after cm10
Hi
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I've searched, but have no phone now, it won't boot after installing CM10 28/12/2012. It was running, but I wanted to do a nand restore, it said it couldn't find the backup.
It now won't boot, it's stuck on the original Galaxy S GT-I9000 boot screen
This is really urgent (I know... like everything else)... can anyone help me PLEASE??

Bricked I9000, but have download mode. It got trickier than I thought.

Hi,
I think I bricked my phone very well. I used Odin to put some GB Kernel in order to be able to upgrade to JB. Later I got into recovery mode and cleaned cache and many other things, but was unable to wipe data\factory reset, from there it all went down. I tried fixing it using this guide, but it didn't help. I still can get into download mode, though. And sometimes even into recovery, but it gives me tones of errors.
What can I do? How do I fix it now???
Thanks in advance!
Fix:
Try to flash a stock GB rom with Odin.
Kernel/ Upgrade to JB
After that flash a rooted kernel. Try CF-Root or Semaphore Kernel.

Hi,
got one problem. hope im typing in right section.
Flashed my I9000 to 2.3.6 JVU plus CF-Root. Minutes later ive tried to flash Gamerzrom via CWM.
(done a full wipe / factory reset, wiped caches etc.).
After that Phone reboots and is stuck in a bootloop containing the Semaphore screen and i cannot
enter CWM again. I have to reinstall stock rom first and then root it again.
Dunno what im doing wrong at that point; am i using wrong kernel?
thanks in advance
that gamerzrom...2.3 or 4.2?
if u wanna flash to 4.x, need to flash cm9 first.flash twice, from 2.3 to cm9 to cm10.dont do shortcut please...
cm9 need to flash twice, bootloop will occur on first flash,use 3 button combo to go back to recovery,its da matter of releasing da 3 button,release it rite after u see da white sgs,if still cant, flash back firmware n redo step.
after flashing cm9, do not reboot,flash cm10 or gamerzrom,first flash will error,flash it back again n then reboot, do wipe everything except sd when in 2.3, and please...read first before asking
