[Q] Major issues with the i9000 right now. Please Help.

Hey guys,
So recently I tried rooting my phone with CF-Root and Odin, and then it went into a boot loop of just the Galaxy S on startup.
I eventually found out about Heimdall and right now I'm running 2.2.1 Froyo with Build XWJSD.
Problem is, that the phone doesn't read the SD card? Like it will see the SD Card, scan it, and say it's finished scanning but then it won't let me access it either in CWM or through the Android UI itself.
Any ideas? I just want to get MIUI installed haha.

Well I just tested the SD card in another phone and it works fine. So it's definitely the software/rom I'm using now I think.
Is there anything I can do to make this work. Maybe like a completely stock 2.2.1, that is guaranteed to work haha? I just need this card to be read. Because even when I plug the phone and run Kies, Kies doesn't recognize the version of the firmware. And If I try to use superoneclick root, it also doesn't recognize the version of the firmware.
So right now I'm using 2.2.1 XWJSD, which stock rom should I install with odin or Heimdall to make this work?
Thanks a lot again.

Head over to this thread and download JVZ (Gingerbread 2.3.6), flash with Odin with re-partition checked, then head over to Chainfire's thread for CF-Root kernel for JVZ and flash that through Odin as well.
Forget about Kies since you'll no longer be using that to update firmware and whatnot.
CF-Root will come with CWM installed, so after you get that done, download MIUI and flash through CWM

Thanks a lot will try it out.
This CF-Root right? CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip

Unfortunately the phone is stuck in a bootloop now after installing 2.3.6 JVZ.

Did you make sure re-partition is checked? If it still bootloops after re-partition then try JVT or some other stock ROM and see if that boots up before applying the CF-Root kernel

Yeah I made sure re-partition is checked, and I installed it with the 512 pit file, unless I shouldn't be using the .pit?

your gona have to reflash the rom or install arom thats already rooted you could try darky 10.2 re or check out puggerduk on tube

MIUI is running based on Android 2.3, I found the Android forum that helps me well enough to do my first flashing and rooting. Here is what you need to try to do:
1. Flash your i9000 with XXJVU 2.3.6 ( Value Pack ):

2. Root your I9000 with CF-Root-XX OXA JVU 2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS:

Do everything on the post and you can install MIUI ROM from recovery straight away after that.
Hope this helps. If it does, please consider press 'THANKS' button

[Q] Rooted GT-I9000M but can't flash CWM

Hi there, I rooted my GT-I9000M on KG3 FW using this FW http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23560333&postcount=498 , downloaded Superuser and busybox, downloaded ROM Manager, flashed CWM, but when I'm trying to install custom roms, it boots up on Android System Recovery 3e instead of CWM Recovery. Did I missed something or I need to do something else to make it work ?

I've got the exact same problem.
Flashed stock kg3 pda,phone,csc
Flashed rooted kg3 (pda only in odin)
Installed superuser and busybox which seem to work correctly
installed rom manager and download cmw recovery.
Tried rebooting in cmw recovery and it does not work...

I don't think the cwm is the same...I believe that is just the simplest root directory possible, nothing more. Try flashing jvt or jw5 in pda and root that after with appropriate root kernel. Then you will have no issues. Besides there are no custom roms for kg3 anyway.

This is a good guide by All Gamer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650

I already saw that guide, but the JVP ROM is not available anymore. I googled it and I can't find it !

Guys just flash jw5 under pda and use the kg3 modem and csc. Then flash semaphore 2.7.4. tar. Problem solved. I have a bell Canada phone myself and this setup works great. Then you can flash ics or whatever in cwm. If you don't like ics, I recommend Dmore3.3 for jw5.

Is there any rooted kernel out there which I could use with stock kg3 rom and modem without losing anything at all?
So I could use cmw recovery for a nandroid backup of my phone?
thanks

I just did what vanisleryan said, but I still got the Android System Recovery 3e not the CWM Recovery. I'm totally lost now ...

Bud I'm running a custom rom installed through cwm and the instructions I gave are what I'm running right now. If you're rooted with the semaphore 2.7.4 kernel than you have cwm. Not sure what you did wrong? Go and install the cwm apk I think it's available in the chainfire thread.

OK, I figured how to get to CWM. When I'm trying to install the MIUI ROM, I got bootloops. Did I do something wrong or it's just an imcompatible ROM ?

Not sure but I think you might just need to pull the battery when it boot loops and go back into cwm with 3 button combo, install again and should complete install. It probably tells you installation instructions on thread. Man if you don't end up like miui then try Dmore3.3... It's rock solid and resembles ics but runs on gb.

I successfully installed MIUI and I love it. The only thing annoying is that it's showing numbers instead of my carrier name.

Maybe you need to install a different modem, where in the world do you live?

Mods please sticky!

my samsung captivate doesnt recognised by odin
this is Ravi kumar.
I m using samsung captivatei897..froyo..
previously one time during flashing with odin, my phone is bricked..
at that time i used hemidall oneclick stock froyo package..
then works fine..
then flashed with hemidall oneclick stock gingerbred kh3 package..
then i got cmw...
so then onwards i flashed with so many custom roms via cmw..
recently,
my phone doesnt recognised by odin when put in download mode..
it is recognised when its on...
i dont know what happened..
now i came back to stock froyo..
by using heimdall 1.1.1, i flashed speedmod kernal, then via cmw i flashed simply Aokp
but my phone is become slow while scrolling.,
opening any application, and lost its smoothness while drawing apps,screens..
pls guide to wipe off all data regarding all about kernals,modems from my phone..
bring back my captivate as earlier...
&what about odin???
now i m using simply Aokp

I flashed this rom (Simply Stock kk4) with the One-Click and it seems to have worked great. The one thing I noticed is that I have the kj3 modem. Was that intentional? If not, should I flash the kk4 modem? I live in the Chicago area and did a search for the best modem in my area, but I didn't really come up with anything.
Thanks for any help and for a great rom!

[Q] Bootlooping Problem in Galaxy S I9000

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to flash my galaxy s and install ICS Dark night v5.5.
When I try updating the kernel using ODIN, my phone gets into bootloop.
It is a froyo installed phone. Also, I am unable to get recovery mode. It enters download mode though.
Can anyone help me out in this??? I am very new to this stuff... I am a beginner...
Held up in this for a couple of weeks.....
Thanks,
Sridhar

If you can boot into download mode, use ODIN to flash a stable rom, then get CWM and your back to where you were, hold off the nightly builds or post in the Cyanogenmod official thread or forums.

Thanks a lot... That did work.. But now i have got Mobile network not available error after flashing.....

Probably best to mention which version of software you are using and the source...
Best option is to flash stock gingerbread version via Odin.
www . theandroidsoul . com / xxjvu /
sorry can't put correct address in yet dont have enough thanks...

it would be better to update to any stable stock rom, go to sammobile.com...
i suggest you update to the latest firmware or ics stock rom for i9000 via odin then root that firmware you have chosen(CF-ROOT) and then update the custom rom darknight v5.5 via cwm...

I think you need gingerbread bootloaders for ics.. You were on Froyo, so it won't work.. You'll need to install a stock gingerbread rom with the pit file and repartition.. After that you can try an ics rom..

I found this thread. After attempting to get CM9 onto my S it wouldn't boot so I used odin to install a stock from from sammobile but now the phone just boot loops.
Could someone please help me.
More info:
After the odin flash - I get a screen like the recovery menu saying things such as "E:Format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10" and things of a similar nature - will have to see what the others say.
Any ideas?

You probably flashed a rom without bootloaders. Try flashing a 3 file rom from here and repartition with 512 pit.

Simpilicity crashed, stuck at bootloop, nothing works

Hi everyone,
First time posting, I was on Simplicity rom 2.2.1, playing tiny tower while my alarms were going off. Next thing I know, the whole phone (GT-i9000) crashes and its stuck in an infinite bootloop. I can get into download mode easy enough and I tried flashing to a heap of stock roms: JVT, JVU, JVH and JVN. Nothing worked. I couldn't get into recovery mode, but after flashing the original CWM7 kernel I could.
Tried wiping everything in recovery, including dalvik cache, then flashing back to Simplicity in CWM. Again, nothing working, in fact nothing at all. Tried stock again, not working. Tried flashing some other kernels, didn't work either. Curiously I tried flashing darkys rom RE 10.5 in ODIN and it failed at repartitioning. Not sure if there's anything behind that. Anyway, I don't really know what to do next, so I'm here.

i tried without repartition with repartition etc and it would always fail.. but then i tried again put repartition set pit file and now..its flashing it! so trying more might help you. btw im using darky resurrection

That didn't work, it only lets me attempt one ODIN flash per entry into download, then I have to reset the phone to try again.

Make sure flashing a rom with bootloader.

I've always been cautious about bootloaders, I read somewhere that if you do it wrong it will completely brick your phone. Can you tell me how to do this safely?

you need to flash stock rom 2.1 with three parts and pit 512 and repartition checked, if didnt work try with out repatition

Can you provide a link for stock 2.1? I can't find one.

Found one with a bootloader, used ODIN, and it worked! Then went to stock JVU, updated to speedmod kernel (still working) but then I tried to update to SURFACE rom and I'm back to square one. Bootloops.
Tried more stocks roms with bootloaders, none of them working. I can get to recovery again if I flash CWM7 kernel like before.

Sorry when I say bootloaders I mean they are built into the rom. I never flash them separately. The above link is a great resource to firmware with bootloaders. The newest gingerbread firmware is JW6... Try that or one of the others. I'm currently on JW5, with semaphore 2.7.4 kernel and DMore 3.3 Rom, it's rock solid. Hope you get it sorted.

Yeah I found this thread earlier, I did flash with JW6, doesn't work.
So instead I just accidentally flashed a ROM for the Galaxy Tab, now my phone won't turn on at all, I'm afraid I just bricked it for reals. Can't enter download mode, completely dead boot.
