[Q] HELP ! CM7 install

When installing cm7 1.0 rc on i9000, ive been trying for a week now to get this right. Tried to install cm7 from froyo stock, no luck. Tried installing GB 2.3.4 stock and tried again.
When installing in cmr it says install complete and then the phone reboots into cm7, now installation guides say the phone should boot into cmr and then you can install Gapps or whatever. This is not the case though.
Also i asked for advice in XDA regarding another issue and was advised to run a nightly version of cm7. This i dont understand.
Also when i try and restore to GB 2.3.4 stock in cmr, it says resore sucessfull/complete, then the phone reboots and gets no further than the Samsung Galaxy S startup screen, the phone then reboots into cmr and i get E: errors such as cant mount cache, or cant find cache/mount/log, then the phone has to be re-flashed back to stock GB 2.3.4.

1. there is no suck thing as rc10...
2.you can`t restore old gb rom...you need to flash through odin using repartition and then restore, because cm7 is mtd

Its cm7 1.0 rc sorry

can you please point me to a link that shows how to do this this is my first samsung phone and these thing are different to me thanks in advance
this is what he has been trying http://tips4tech.net/2011/04/how-to...cm7-on-galaxy-s-review-tutorial-and-download/
any help would be greatly appreciated

[Q] Need a little help and clarification upgrading to AOKP

Hey everybody. So im intrested in upgrading my Froyo 2.2 to the ICS AOKP rom. Earlier i screwed everything up by installing the wrong kernel and had to reinstall Froyo because my phone wouldent boot. Anyway, i wanted to list what im going to do to make sure im doing it right.
Right now my info is:
Phone model: Samsung sgh i897
Radio (baseband): I897UCKB2
Firmware and Build number: 2.2 FROYO.UCKB2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
1. I will first upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3 using Kies and whatever the samsung website tells me to
1.5 Root and allow sideloading
2. i will put on CWM using odin and this link
(question: i should put on speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz.tar if my kernel is 3e, correct? or should i just use the first one on the top of the dl list? )
3. follow the AOKP installation instructions but get the actual rom from here
3.5 wipe my data, install rom, then wipe data again
4. Use Titanium Backup and APN Restore to get all my shizz back
5. Finish
couple of questions though. On the AOKP installation instructions, how do i make a nandroid? Do i just go to backup and backup whatever is there? and do i have to Flash Team Hacksung's latest build? If so, where would i find it? i can only find one for the samsung fascinate here.
or should i just use this?
Also, thank you in advanced. I sure did say a lot.

You can combine steps 1-2 into one easy step by going here and grabbing the "I897UCKH3 Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, With Bootloaders, With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog" flash package. That will flash your bootloaders, stock rom, and give you root access and CWM all in one easy step.
The rest of the steps look good.
As for making the backup, once you have installed the AOKP rom and have successfully booted once, reboot into CWM recovery and go to "backup and restore" and choose the backup option. That's a nandroid backup.

Thanks! ill try that stuff out when i get home. Hopefully it will all work out! Quick question: To install any other rom (assuming its compatible with my phone), i do the same thing?

In general it's a similar procedure, with a few changes:
1. If you're going from any of the ICS roms back to a non-CM7 or MIUI rom, you have to flash back to stock GB first (without bootloaders). This resets the partitioning scheme to the correct form.
2. Once you've flashed the GB bootloaders, don't flash them again - there's no need and it puts your phone in unnecessary danger.
3. To flash between ICS roms, it's generally just a matter of wiping data, flashing the rom, and reinstalling your apps. Same between GB and Froyo roms.

im having a problem. The bootloader you directed to me doesnt work. I downloaded the I897UCKH3 Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
put it on my desktop, running it as admin. I also took out the sim of my capvitate and put it on download mode and connected it. However nothing happens. All i get is <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
should i have any other files other than the I897UCKH3_withBL?
What do?

That should be all you need. Take a look at the captivate connection issues thread in my signature for some more ideas.
You can also try one of the Heimdall-based one-clicks, or try getting full Odin or full Heimdall setup and flash a stock package from those.

Hey jmtheiss. I ended up using a different computer to try the bootloader again, and it worked. I was also able to do the rest of the steps and install ICS AOKP. Thanks! Its really packed with a lot of features so it will be intresting to learn. Thanks!

Help newbie with installing new ROM

Hi, I'm stuck with installing new rom, so I hope, that you'll help me.
There are steps what I've done:
- followed THIS topic and ROOT the device with ODIN and CF-Root 4.4 file.
- OKAY, I'm rooted, so let's flash the new ROM
- entered in Clockworkmod Recovery and format EVERYTHING ( /data, /system, /cache, /sdcard etc.... just everything) for clear system
- next I load package with ROM and than INSTALLL
and here is the most important part
- when installed ROM gets something like bootloop but with restart - ROM is loading and after about 40 sec its RESTART
- and the same thing over and over again - restart ->loading->restart.... System never start up correctly to the end
- then when I saw that it does not work, I tried go into the CWM, but there was no CWM (!!!) - it was erased (by installing new ROM maybe???)
- so I must flash (old and stock) ROM via ODIN and again root device with CF-Root (with CWM) - that was only functional rom, what I was able to run, and again did this procedure
I tried this way, perhaps with millions of different ROM and EVERY was stucked (restart) while loading.
I think there are some non-deleted files in device, which should be erased (and which cannot be erased by CWM) for clear start of new installed ROM, what do you think?
Would someone please help me? I don't want old Gingerbread with Kies
Thanks for every responce!

Does it say in the thread that you have to flash a custom kernel?? Give.me the link for the thread so I can make sure that you've done everything right

there is a link, but in hypertext THIS, i repost it in full text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
I think, when I've root and CWM, there is no problem and install a new rom will be very least, so not as it seems

Dude this is a kernel not a rom what's the matter with you??:what:
Sent from ma 5assak

please read all my topic - i flash this kernel only for clockworkmod recovery
through CWM I can flash any other rom
through ODIN only stock - cant find any ICS or JB rom which I can flash via ODIN (.tar file)

What variant of i9000 do you have? Are you sure that the rom you are trying to flash is made exactly for your variant?
EDIT: Try Darky ROM, they have an ODIN flashable version called "Resurrection Edition" or something.

I mean give me the link for the Rom you are using not kernel

Samsung Galaxy S I9000, i'm sure 100%. NOT I9001, NOT Samsung Galaxy S2. Tried many roms from Development section for I9000, tried from get.cm etc... always the same result bootloop with restart

I meant I9000 or I9000B or I9000M or I9000T there's a difference between them

I9000 only, checked it several times

Ok so you can flash Darky Rom Resurrection Edition through ODIN with no problem. Its GingerBread if i remember correctly, but it should give you a recovery mode and fully operating phone. From this point you can flash whatever you want.

....And there is one more important thing:
When I have a stock kernel and stock rom from Samsung, cant get into recovery mode - VOLUME UP and POWER non functional. Only when I type: "adb reboot recovery" in terminal.
Just after when I flash a new pre-rooted kernel with CWM, VOLUPE UP and POWER is now functional
k4Z3666: OK, I try and give you an echo I think, when I format everything in CWM, there will be no sign of the earlier system and ALL WILL BE CLEAR

ok, flashing ICS, may need to be done twice, as first flash may bootloop, IF you want to return to stock to get out of this mess, since you are not sure as to where you are now, due to flashing many roms, use any kit from My Android Collections, link below to get you to a booting ROM, than add a kernel with CWM (use EZbaze package with kernels)

that's helped me too thank you

Infinite loop while installing rom

Hi there.
I am trying to install 4.1.1 Rom, and I've got this problem, no matters which rom I choose. Here are the steps I follow:
1.- Install Official 2.3.6 firmware with Odin
2.- Install Clockworkmod with Odin
3.- Go into Recovery Mode and follow the install instructions from the ROM (wipe data..., install from sd card)
4.- And here it goes. I got "Samsung Galaxy Logo - ROM Logo - Installation init" again and again. The installation shows log messages that I don't have enough time to read (something about E unknown, or can't mount. I've tried flashing with dbdata.rfs.tar, but with no luck)
Any help? Thanks in advance.

Reflash you have to flash twice and also I recommend flashing on top is cm not GB as it seems to stop imei issues
Sent from my Awesome I9000 running Slim Bean

Keep pressed the Recovery Combo until you see the Samsung Galaxy S first screen. It will force to enter Recovery mode.
Then wipe again and reflash

Instead of directly installing clockwork mod, install the cf-root kernel instead, which gives you root and CWM. That's what I normally do anyway.

He/ She doesn't need too there flashing straight to another ROM don't need root
Sent from my Awesome I9000 running Slim Bean

Thank you all for the replies.
I'll try them tonight and I'll let you know if it works out

It does that to me everytime I want to upgrade frome Gb to ICS or ICS to JB
I pull out the battery to stop the bootloop, then put it back in and get in recovery mode with three-buttons combo, then flash again the rom, it shouldnt bootloop again.

I started with last solution (remove battery and flash rom again) and it has worked out! The thing is that after removing the battery and flashing it again, "another" recovery mod is loaded and then it all goes perfect. So, thanks all for the help!

Yes as it changes the partition table and needs a different recovery to handle it properly

[SOLVED] Taking the leap - first update from stock GB to CM10.1 - right process?

Got a Galaxy Note (N7000) in Australia back in March 2012 (and loving it ). Been reading the forums for about 6 months now - was thinking about upgrading to ICS for a bit, then Jelly Bean came out so I held off. It's taken a while but looks like a few JB roms stable enough that I'm keen to try out - CM10.1 & Paranoid Android.
Really want to try out Paranoid Android but CM10.1 looks like its in a better state so looking to try that, at least until PA moves to JB4.2.1.
I'm aware of the brick bug and not to full wipe (aka factory reset) on an ICS or JB kernel unless known to be safe & I'm making sure I MD5 verify downloads where I can. I've watched a bunch of tutorials on YouTube regarding rooting & installing custom ROMs but I can never be sure how directly they apply to my particular phone/kernel or if their out-of-date (and don't trust their downloads).
Some info:
Phone: Note N7000
Location: Australia
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
Android version: 2.3.6
* Just want to check whether my process is correct before going ahead:
Can I just install the latest PhilZ JB Kernel here (XXLSC-XJB (JB Leak) "-signed.zip"), using stock recovery to install? I believe it would be incompatible with my current GB stock ROM but my plan is to install this kernel, reboot recovery, then a CM10 kernel (latest from Chasmodo's Kernel Repository, reboot recovery, install CM10.1 ROM (Chasmodo's nightly (20121217)), factory reset and reboot.
Will this cause in problems (keeping in mind I'm coming from an unrooted GB rom)? I've already read about downgrading to a rootable GB ROM and/or using ODIN with a pre-rooted GB ROM including CWM. Another option is ahalford's CM install guide here which seems to indicate I can just flash the "CM9_safe_kernel.tar" via PC Odin - but I'm not sure this will give me CWM (seems more to be a safety measure for upgrading from stock ICS).
Thanks in advance for any assistance and a huge thanks to all who have helped work alternate rom/kernels & community that make all this possible.
--Zar.

Finally worked it out So here's an update & details on how I did it (haven't got much time to post, so apologies for the mess )
After my post I read that TW (touchwiz) kernals (which PhilZ is) are incompatible with CM roms - not sure why this is as I thought the stock kernel/ROM was TW anyway. The official instruction for CM10.1 when coming from PhilZ was to go back to GB so my previous plan seemed a bit redundant.
After reading the tutorials on here a few more times I found the one that works for me. I followed Dr Ketans step one from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Step One:
"As name suggest flashing This ROM with PC odin, you will have ready made Root + CWM. This ROM was modified by ChainFire (All credit goes to him only). And you can flash it using PC Odin without getting exclamation mark/raise flash counter.
Download :
http://d-h.st/HJM
Mirror"
Downloaded pre-rooted GB image (with CWM) from link above, installed via PC Odin.
Attempted to use KTool to backup EFS but didn’t work
Home button didn’t work for normal use but did allow me to get into recovery mode.
From CWM recovery I followed steps to install Chasmodo’s CM10.1 from here :
install from zip: CM10 kernel
advanced: reboot recovery
install from zip: CM10.1 nightly
install from zip: GApps
factory reset
reboot
CM10.1! Yay
Ktool now works - but EFS verification doesn't (will look into this).
Google backup/restore automatically grabbed my contacts & previous apps.
Data didn't work as the APN's set up for Vodafone whereas I'm on Crazy Johns (related networks in Australia - Crazy Johns uses Vodafone network so I guess that's why it picked up the Vodafone APN). Updating with APN info from Crazy Johns website fixed this.
Happily running CM10.1 now
