[Q] Bootloop after flashing ROM with CWM and I don't understand why

Hi
I'm having a problem with the i9000
this is how the phone was before:
rooted stock firmware (2.3.3) with Galaxian Kernel (used ODIN to install that)
then I downloaded ROM Manager and used that to flash the latest CWM
next: rebooted to recovery, made a nandroid backup and flashed AOKP milestone 4 and GAPPS
when I rebooted it got into bootloop: boot logo, cyanogenmod logo, black screen with white text and reboot
then I tried to restore the nandroid backup (can still get into CWM)
now it's stuck at Loading kernel...
I can still get into CWM. Can somebody tell me what I did wrong and how I should fix this?

Boot to cwm, FLASH kernel with ICS support like - Semaphore. Reflash ROM, if still in boot loop flash kernel again ;-). It should work ;-)

Did that, but instead of booting the ROM it immediately boots to recovery. Flashed the kernel with ODIN and the ROM with CWM

Flash the kernel via CWM, the semaphore!! not the galaxian, the galaxian is for 2.3.3!

yes, working with the semaphore now
but it should be flashed with CWM, not ODIN?

Okey, try to flash the ROM again, than again the kernel ;-) Everything via CWM, i think ODIN is bit risky to use, cause of possible USB fail ;-) (sorry for slover responses i don't have verified account )

You are welcome buddy, remmeber if you have access to CWM don't use odin ;-)
Oh and BTW i hope, that you did not forget to wipe - data,cache and dalvik cache?

No no, I know about that This is not my phone. I have a Nexus S, Asus Slider and X10 Mini Pro, I flashed over 100 ROMs and kernels
it was just the first one from Samsung

ahh right, hell of a job to flash a different phone than yours. (yestarday was flashing my GFs x10i, spend the whole f**** day doing it.... and still she gets like 5 WLODS per day...)

[Q] Please help! My note keeps rebooting after i flashed Rocket Ics Rom v1.

I am very new to rooting and all the stuffs. However i decided to root my phone following a youtube video tutorial made by this guy called Ashwin on XDA. I followed all the instructions carefully and rooting was successful. Then i proceeded to install CWM recovery following another youtube tutorial made by the same guy and it was successfully installed. Afterwards i flashed RocketIcs rom v1 using the CWM recovery mode and it says the installation was successful...
however, after the installation i realized that my note would keep rebooting and rebooting after 30 secs or so. i am really scared now because i am really a noob in this field and i am at a lost what to do. I will really appreciate if anyone can help ;(

i think i did. in the tutorial video i followed, i downloaded the abyss kernel 4.2 as directed and flashed it with mobile odin. Then i rebooted into CWM recovery mode and flashed the rocket ics rom v1. then started the bootloop.
to give you further details, my rooted note has kernel version N7000DXLC2 before i flashed the rocket ICS rom. please help i am really thankful!

Im new here too but I think I may know what the err is.
Do you have Titanium-backup App, Clockworkmod Recovery App &/or Nandroids on your Note? If not once this thing gets fixed I recommend you do some homework so that you don't lose everything next time.
Good News is it isn't Fully Bricked (I think)... If it was bricked than it wouldn't even boot at all. Better News is... I have been doing a lot of research - So this might work. It sounds to me that you are in a Boot loop.
In that event...

1. pull out your battery, wait for 1 minute
2. put it back in, boot into stock Recovery (volume up + home + power)
3. do a factory reset and wipe cache
4. reboot

I might be mistaken but i think i had to reboot recovery to get the abyss, the red pill one and not the cwmr,

[Q] Phone only boots into CWM and can't get it to boot the ROM.

I can't get my phone to boot into the ROM, it only boots into CWM every time. Even if I restore my Nandroid backup I have it still won't boot into anything but CWM. .
Any ideas?

what rom are you trying to flash?

I was on MIUI Mintberry but then I tried flashing DMORE3.3 and it just messed up. Was not paying attention to what I was doing, stupidly enough.
But I wouldn't mind just getting back into my MIUI MB ROM and then I'll actually flash DMORE properly this time.

It was made by Nitr8, just a stripped down GB based on his insanity ROM

Very nice ROM! So, there's no chance I could now just restore to my MIUI Nandroid backup?

I really couldn't tell you, not familiar with miui, but you can always try,

I have the same issue here. I was running CM9 nightly and everything was working great for weeks. Then my android core process crashed and I decided to reboot the phone, but it got stuck and kept boot looping, i.e. not even making it to the CM9 boot animation and not allowing me to get a logcat.
I used ODIN to flash FixRecovery.tar.md5 and that allowed me to get into CWM recovery. I then cleared Dalvik cache, re-flashed CM9, rebooted but the phone always boots into CWM and never gets to the ROM. I even tried flashing Semaphore kernel in ODIN and re-flashed CM9 several times but to no avail.
My phone just keeps booting into CWM! Is there something I can do to fix this without having to restore to Gingerbread and lose all of my settings and data?

You can go back to the Original Firmware: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/
Then you may root: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-i9000-rooting-gt-i9000-2-3-3-india-ddjv9.47/

I had same problem with a galaxy s plus. I've installed the teamwin recovery and with that i flashed the broodrom. After that i got in a bootloop/recoveryloop.. The fix for that was just flashing the bootloader with odin So there was no need to reflash whole rom

Flashing CM9 From Stock i9000

Hi
After using CM9 for some time, I decided to upgrade to the new stable release. I am not sure what happened, but the flash was unsuccessful. Using ODIN I restored my phone back to stock.
When I try to install CM9 I now end up in a recovery loop, where the phone will only boot into recovery.
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?
Many thanks
Harry

Do you install cm9 through cwm recovery?

Freddie_X said:

Yes I did, using the CWM that comes with the speedmod kernel. The CWM that the phone boots to after this, however, is an updated one, I assume the one that comes with CM9. From here I have tried reflashing CM9 but still have the recovery bootloop
Harry

Hey
Is your phone rooted??
and try flashing the rom twice..

Hi
It has Cwm but I didn't root before flashing. Thought it didn't make a difference?
I have tried flashing twice, still has me booting into recovery

For installing CM9 your phones needs to be on 2.3.6 and rooted...click here for my guide...

After I follow your guide will I have cwm and do i then just flash as usual?
Harry

Yup..
After rooting 2.3.6 you can follow the regular steps for CM9...

Ok I have upgraded, then when I try to flash CM9 it starts the process then quickly enters a bootloop where I get to the cyanogenmod kernel screen. I know I need to flash twice but I cannot see how to do so?
Thanks
Harry

Hey
Remove the battery...put it back after atleast 10 sec..then boot into recovery using 3 Button Combo...then flash the rom again...
This time it'll take a few min..then it'll re-boot itself..
Enjoy..

Got it all working perfectly now, thank you so much

[Q] Bootloop + Recovery wont boot

So yeah i bricked my phone, its stuck in a damn bootloop and i cannot enter recovery no matter which one i install.
I even flashed stock rom via odin and tried both flashing twrp and cwm, none worked, whichever rom is installed i still get in a damn bootloop and i cannot boot into recovery (blank screen).
Is there anything i can do for my phone?
Thank you all in advance

Try to flash Dorimanx Kernel using Odin (v9.34 for JB Roms, v8. for Stock Roms)
I will upload a guide tomorrow for people facing problems with their recovery. I will edit this when its finished.

can you tell me what did you do to caused that ? or do you have download mode ?
anyway it seems to me a hard break . probably you messed your boot . you got two options:
1.use "RescuePDA" (you can find the thread and every thing in galaxy mini II development)
2.take it to a service center

Download mode is the only thing that works, as i said recovery wont boot and any rom i install is getting into a bootloop. ((
I used triangle away, the problems started after that. I had cwm and cm 10.1 08/18
Is there any way to factory reset using odin?

I have the same exact problem.
I follow the discussion with interest.

Zeruel, i seem to have somehow fixed the problem, however not entirely.
I downloaded some random recovery rom, flashed it with odin and wiped everything (cache, factory reset, dalvik cache), and reinstalled cm 10.1.
Then i flashed back the thewhisp's recovery and booted into cm with no problem.
However now i cannot boot into recovery using volume+- and home and power button, i have to boot to it from the cm.
That i dont know how to solve, but at least my phone works fine

Thank you, but I think to have solved the problem with RescuePDA.
A big thanks go to dlb4all, thank you a lot mate.
