[Q] Slim ICS problem! Bootloop, tried everything! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the other day I tried to flash Slim ICS on to my i9000 but I failed. There's like three methods you can try between if the first one doesn't succeed... Non of them worked for me. I still got the same boot loop on every method, every time. What am I supposed to do? Can someone please be so kind and write me a step by step tutorial of how to install Slim ICS. Worth mentioning is I'm on Darky's gingerbread rom JVQ v10.2 RES.

You flashed ICS Kernel first? Tried to install the Rom twice? First to install Kernel and second to install Rom?

Step 1. Boot into CWM recovery.
Step 2. Wipe data/Factory reset.
Step 3. Mounts and storage> Format / System.
Step 4. Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache & Wipe Battery stats.
Step 5. Install from SD card...
i. Flash Base_3.6.zip
ii. Flash Base_3.6.zip again
iv. Flash 3.6_I9000_Essentials.zip
v. Flash any other .zips you require like face unlock
**Step 6. Flash an alternative kernel like Siyah or NEAK, SOD reports from users of stock kernel. I flashed Siyah from the beginning when I updated to 3.6 so can't comment.**
Reboot.
Happy days!
**EDIT: SORRY don't flash Siyah or NEAK because they are GT-I9100 kernels!! Ma bad!

I tried to install the rom twice without any luck. I haven't tried to install ICS kernel first though. Do you recommend one?

I've followed step 1-5 with no luck whatsoever. I haven't tried step 6. I will probably end up in a boot loop after step 5 so how do I install the kernel? Should I put the kernel on the SD card together with the rom and the essentials and flash the kernel before the reboot after step 5?

You could flash your I9000 with another ICS via Odin and then try??

OMG! I'm panicking! I just cannot get it to work... I've tried everything! Done all the methods recommended. Flashed semaphore ICS 1.1.1 and it still won't work! The only taste of this "well spoken of" rom I can get is through slim ICS v2.6, it doesn't boot loop but when booted I can't seem to get any 3g or signal. So not even that works. I WANT THIS ROM SO BADLY! Please someone help me!

Follow a thread like Team ICSSGS for dummies or ICS333 to get ICS on your phone then follow steps below (from Slim website).
From another ICS ROM
1. Download my latest Base + Essentials (from downloads page download zip not md5)
2. Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
3. Flash Base*** AND Essentials, Reboot to system.
*** - If the base flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash base before flashing essentials.
You can also clear cache & dalvik cache,clear nstools & init'd (advanced menu). You should clear cache & dalvik cache, nstools & init'd before flashing semaphore. Also once in ROM it is best not to actually use nsTools but rather use semaphore app.
No need to clear battery. My battery is as good as ever and I've never done this and I've flashed a lot of different ROMS.
if you are coming from gingerbread you will need to flash a modem.

[Q] ICS Alpha 6 on I9000 International

I have I9000 international and have flashed ICS Alpha 6 via CWM recovery and then the kernel but I can't get beyong the first logo screen. Please help me out. I have tried Alpha 4 also but the result was the same. Below is what I did.
1. Flashed latest XXJVT rom via ODIN.
2. Flashed Semaphore 1.8.2 kernel.
3. Flashed ICS Alpha6 rom via CWM recovery
4. And, flashed FuguICSi9000update.zip.
Please help me as I desperately want to try ICS on my I9000.
Thanks for the upcoming help!
Wipe dalvik cache, factory reset
I have tried this too. I am not a newbie. I usually flash my phone once in a week to try different custom roms but I don't know why I am not successful with this one.
Hello,
Can you go to the recovery and try flashing the zip file again.
I have just repeated everything from scratch after flashing brand new JVT rom but still of no use.

1. Flash XXJVT
2. Flash cf root or semaphone any kernel with cwm
3. Wipe data, cache and davik
4. Flash ICS Alpha 6
5. Enter recovery (If it boot loop take out battery)
6. Wipe data, cache and davik
7. Flash ICS Alpha 6
8. Flash FuguICSi9000update.zip
9. Reboot
Like miui, cwm3 seems to have problems flashing. When you flash in the first time on ICS Alpha 6, it will not work but cwm3 is updated to cwm5. Then you flash again should work already.

[Q] What do I need before I flash DarkKnight ICS?

I have to post here because I can't post in the direct thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510940
How do I actually install this? I've flashed ROMs before and I assume I can flash this one through CWM but it doesn't say what base OS you need to have running on the phone in order to flash it.
What rom are you currently running? If you are running one of the ics asop roms then I think you are good to go

Hi Guys
DarkKnights Author Recommend
Installation:
1. DOWNLOAD ZIP
2. WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET.
3. WIPE CACHE PARTITION.
4. FLASH AND THEN REBOOT.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I Suggest if you come from Stock ROM
Flash a Kernel with CWM (CF-ROOT kernel with Addon, my Favorite) with Odin/Heimdall
Boot into CWM Recovery Mode
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Flash latest CyanogenMod (be sure, you do it with full version)
Boot into CWM Recovery Mode
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Flash the DarkKnight ICS
Have Fun !
I know it isn't the Best Way, but it surely will do if you like that !
Don't forget to thanks [if it useful was for you]

I was more asking which ROM to come from.
I ended up flashing 2.3.5 JVT and then this over the top of Semaphore kernel.

Switching CM9 from Samsung ICS?

So there's three questions here.
1) What improvements are there in CM9 over the Samsung ICS ROM that really make it stand out and make flashing CM9 worthwhile? What happens to all my apps and are there any killer bugs?
2) How would I go about installing CM9 considering the brick problem with the Samsung ICS ROM?
EDIT:
Some extra information. My Note is an unlocked version purchased from Amazon UK and I have already rooted my device, prior to which I flashed the official ICS ROM using PC Odin.

Samsung ICS and CM9 are two completely different ROMs, CM9 is the pure android experience, No junk, No bloatware, Super fast you really should try it.
However, if you use CM9 you will lose all the S-Pen features and it will become just a normal stylus, You will also lose the S Memo app(s) but there are some alternatives. To install it, Just flash a GB rom via ODIN, Flash abyss kernel and then flash CM9 (you will need to wipe on abyss kernel)
Pretty simple really I have a nandroid of paranoid android and a nandroid of rocketROM, so i can simply flash GB or ICS via ODIN and restore my nandroid, So i can constantly switch between the 2 as im undecided which one i like the most
Losing S-Pen features isn't a big problem as long as it still works as a stylus. My biggest thing is my widgets and apps. Particularly SPlanner. Does CM9 come with a decent calander along with a widget for said calender?
For installation, do I flash the GB ROM with mobile ODIN or PC Odin? And how do I install a kernel?
Sorry I'm new to the whole custom ROM world
Im not sure if the stock calendar will suit your needs but no harm in trying Theres a ton of calendar apps & widgets in the play store so you'll be fine.
As for installation, You can either use Mobile ODIN or PC ODIN, I always use PC ODIN cause i've always used it.
So after you have flashed GB in ODIN, Reboot the phone, Put all the stuff on the SD, then reboot in to download mode
as for kernels, Download this one https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/GingerBread-speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar
Flash it in ODIN (PDA) Then put this one on your SD card along with your CM ROM https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip and flash it in CWM recovery, reboot recovery (under advanced menu in CWM)
Now find the ROM and flash it Job done !
So step 1) Flash GB with Odin.
step 2) Flash new kernal
step 3)... I'm lost
1) Flash GB
2) Flash Kernel
3) Boot into recovery
4) Flash abyss kernel ( not necessary as there is no brickbug on GB, But it states to use it on the OP of Paranoid Android (CM ROM) )
5) Reboot recovery
6) Wipe and factory reset, Wipe cache + Dalvik cache
7) Flash your CM based ROM
8) Jump for joy
9) Report back saying it worked
All your softwares which are part of Samsung rom will be lost, like S-Memo or the SNote, Splanner, TW launcher etc.
The CM9 roms have their own calendar installed and which also does the work that its supposed to do. With CM9 roms you get lot of options for modification and also as per your liking.
To install - you need to go back to GB roms first. Use the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
1. The above link will give you prerooted GB Rom and will also ensure your binary count does not increase. Use PC Odin to flash
2. Download your choice of CM 9 rom like the Original CM9 or Asylum or the Paranoid Android and keep it in your phone's root drive.
3. Download Abyss 4.2 kernel and flash using the Mobile Odin. Reboot to Kernel once installed.
4. Install your selected CM9 variant from your internal storage.
The above steps will help you get CM9. My favourite is Asylum and PA. Asylum for further speed enhancement over CM9 and PA for its Tablet mode.
Hope this helps.
+1 to paranoid android, The hybrid tablet/phone mode is awesome, and it looks really good on the note, Lots of customisation to change DPI too !
Thanks to kailashnj for linking a prerooted GB rom That should save you some time !

How do I do step 6?
Okay, Once you have flashed your kernel, It should inject root + CWM on to the phone, So boot into recovery (volume UP + home + power) then select wipe data / factory reset, After that is done, wipe cache partition, then after that, go to advanced and select clear dalvik cache.
then on to step 7

Ah ok The Abyss Kernal is with Odin as well?
no, the abyss kernel is to be flashed in recovery, Well the one i linked you to is anyway. You might not need it, as the speedmod GB kernel is just the same, The brickbug doesnt affect GB users

I got 25gb free space with my HTC, Plus all the bonus space for referring people lol, I may aswel put it to good use

Underclock problem. Target: Install Slim ICS with Semaphore.

Guys,
I "underclocked" my SGS which was running on Slim ICS to 800MHz, I believe.
It wouldn't reboot after this action. Recovery Mode wasn't working too.
So I decided to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery with Odin, with succes. I can acces recovery mode again. Normal mode still not able to boot.
Now I want to install Slim ICS again with Semaphore kernel but in order to do that I need to install stock firmware I believe. Or I need to find a way to install CyanogenMod9 Nightly right away without having stock firmware installed.
What do I need to do?

In what order do I need to install?
Suggestion:
1.) Enter CWM Recovery, Wipe data, Format System ( In Mounts and Storage)
2.) Run kernel cleaning script by lippol94
3.) Flash CM9 nightly
4.) Reboot to recovery.
5.) Flash Semaphore 1.2.6
6.) Reboot to recovery
7.) Flash Device_x.x.zip, then Slim_Common.zip.
8.) Reboot to system, Enjoy.
Or do I need to skip CM9?
Move 5 to 8 and you should be fine, otherwise you would end up with slim kernel.

I achieved step 1 but after that it's a mystery
Here's my recovery kit to get you back to stock with root and recovery, unzip, read the .txt first, after doing this go to slim website and follow instructions
http://db.tt/MOGZx01S
If needed, where do I find working links of stock firmware? With guide would be nice.
Ooops, link didn't work

Thank you, it has been a long day but I will finish the the job now

[Q] [ADVICE] how to flash rom?

Hi ereryone! I'm fresh to the forum. This is my first post. I have a question about my N7000. I have this phone over two years and would like to change my ROM for something better and faster. I read a lot of information on different forums, I got to know about safe kernels for my model and ROMs, but still I'm a little bit confused. I'm rookie. I managed to flash stock kernel with safe PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.08.5 kernel and I don't know what to do next.
What should I do now?
I would like to have:
- C-ROM v6.3
- Forest CM11 kernel
I have found about two ways of solving this problem. Which one do U thing is correct?
FIRST
1. reboot into Recovery
2. Wipe data and dalvik cache
3. flash C-ROM v6.3
4. flash Forest CM11
5. flash Gapps
6. reboot
SECOND
1. reboot into Recovery
2. flash Raw r4 kernel
3. reboot recovery <--- not the system, just the recovery
4. Wipe data and dalvik cache
5. flash C-ROM v6.3
6. flash Forest CM11
7. flash Gapps
8. reboot
Thank in advance for all the help!
Second one is the way to go.
