I'll appreciate any help regarding my boot loop problem.....
Thanks & Regards

Status 7 error relates to errors in updater script,it should not have been ignored like that.Furthermore,upd_1.zip is a root package for GB roms,not ICS roms,so wrong bin file there.Can you get to download mode? Or,atleast recovery?

Same problem
Hi I have the same problem just keeps cycling through the Samsung boot screen on a loop. I can get into Download mode and also I can boot into recovery. I downloaded a stock rom S5830XWKPN_S5830SWKP6_S5830XEUKP1_HOME Then I used odin 4.38 and clicked on OPS and used cooper_v1.0.ops and then clicked on one package and clicked on the zip of the stock rom I downloaded. Everything seemed to go well, but then the phone got stuck on this loop of the Samsung boot screen. I hope that you can help please.
Best regards Wez

hmmm I think he's still in GB. I think he means he's trying to prepare his ace to flash ICS rom cause obviously you can't flash ICS with stock recovery.
as for the op... try using stock recovery and flash upd_1? thats what I did.

Boot into recovery and wipe data.

Make a wipe in standart or full wipe in custom and flash again with odin! It will surely help

Seems like it...Anyway,I dont think the OP even comes here now

I too have this problem!
Is the phone bricked? I have tried using packages from Odin and One Click Unbrik but they both fail, I can get into download mode, but I cannot get into recovery mode. It just says ARM9 or something whenever I try. Is there a solution yet?

i fixed my phone i kept on having boot loops after falshing single packing so i turned the phone off then hold power and home till you come to recovery option wipe cache and i think its factory reset or full wipe so do both wipes then reboot phone WALA my phone was working hope this helps and dont forget to tick thanks button :good:

boot loop with other issues too...
hi there guys. I'm new to this forum and also to flashing...
but anyways I had a good look before flashing my phone but still messed it up...silly me
I tried rooting my phone via SD card(first clockwork mod ace 4 followed by clockwork mod 5 as said in tutorial) then upd_1 and then cm9. But after installing clockwork mod ace 4 I get :" E: failed to mount/ system (invalid argument)" same happens when trying to wipe cache partition/ data/ factory reset.
I can get into android system recovery no problems and also into odin download mode (where it gives you the warning and prompts you to press volume up if you still want to continue. It is also stuck on the samsung screen if I don't press anything.
But when trying to connect the phone to odin in order to rectify what I've done (with the one package methode, either gingerbread or cmw9) odin won't detect my phone. I used several different cables, original samsung cables, changed usb ports (directly off the motherboard) but to no avail.
heimdall will recognise the phone as far as I can see (when you click on detect device it says: "device detected") but I cannot find the right files I need to use for heimdall. I would very much appreciate any help and advice. Please point me in the right direction, show me where to download the correct files and which ones and please bear in mind I'm a noob. put it as plain as bread for me please :good:

just flash clockworkmod 5 and format system and data...
do a complete wipe ...clear cache,, wipe dalvik
then mount system and data and install any of ur modded stock or cm7... enjoy
---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
many roms are pre rooted plus u dont need rooot access to flash rom

to flash CustomROM u dont need to root first our ace simply flash CWM 5 and put your CustomROM flashable .zip to your sdcard and then fullwipe (data,cache,advantage) and done.....
most of CustomROM now can directly flash from previous or Other CustomROM without flash to StockROM first..

Since when do you need to flash cwm before you root? I did it the other way around and no problems at all. I was on 2.3.5

I won't question what you guys are saying since I'm a noob but the tutorial I followed specifically told me to do that. I just get installation aborted every time I try to install recovery clockwork 5...or anything else for that matter. thanks for your help guys

maybe this will give you a better picture of my predicament...

I think I just spotted my error...I believed the model is Samsung galaxy ace S5830 but in fact it's the S5830i. how does that change things for me???thanks for replying

It changes everything. 5830 is completely different from 5830i (they only share the name). Roms and mods for 5830 might brick your phone, so be careful.

(even reinstalled windows and all the phones drivers also tried installing drivers with zadig, after reinstall of windows the phone was finally found there but still no luck for odin)

Galaxy Ace nightmare

Bought my wife a samsung galaxy ace a few months ago. I want to root it, iflash cwm and then install a custom rom. Ive managed to root it using the latest root guide for the phone. Howewver, I cannot flash cwm, if i try and flash it straight from the phone using the recover menu, it keeps aborting, as it does when I try and install a custom mod. I have tried using odin but each time I try, it keeps coming up, connect phone!!! The drivers have been installed, Ive tried different versions of odin but its the same problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction, its starting to do my head in. Thanks in advance guys, any help with this will be very much appreciated

Do you have the recover menu with install zip from sdcard?

When you have that just move the zip files on the SDcard and install.

[Q] S3 Mini Telus - Custom Recovery Problems

I recently got an S3 Mini and I wanted to install cyanogenmod on it. I have experience because I have cyanogenmod on my S4 and TWRP custom recovery.
After I use Odin to flash the TWRP custom recovery to the phone, whenever I try to boot into recovery the screen just freezes and these lines and green film start to appear on the screen.
I have uploaded the picture of the phone trying to boot into recovery
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

There's literalyl 390248230948023948 variants of the S3 mini, fairly certain it is the SM-G730 confirm it on the model or in settings. Maclaw's recovery or any other recovery is not compatible with your phone, and as far as I know your phone does not have a recovery yet hence why it bootloops. You need to revert back to stock: forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2530506&d=1390328847 and all shall be well. There's no active development on your phone as far as I know but do give this thread a visit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469413&page=11

So can it be that I'm flashing the wrong twrp file? Because I'm flashing the wrong region?? Any suggestions on how to fix this issue and get it working?

It's because there is no TWRP for your device, there are no TWRP or CWM builds for the TELUS S3 MINI the ATT&T S3 MINI and the VERIZON S3 MINI.(as far as I know) Only solution is to compile it yourself, and that's quite involved but there are numerous guides out there.

I see.... Thanks anyways, I may try to compile my own, if I do get it working I will upload it here

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html
TWRP is easier to compile after you got a working CWM recovery, as you only need to add in a couple of TWRP flags.
You need to run ubuntu natively or through virtual machine (VMWare, etc) and download the CM source code which may take a while depending on your internet speed (it's quite large about 15gb i think or so )

The same thing happened to me when I tried to install CWM for my s3 mini sm-g730w8( this is the Canadian version for telus) Boot into download mode (VOL DOWN+HOME+POWER) then just choose reboot device and it should be okay. If it still doesn't work then boot into download mode and then flash the stock rom via odin. Also regarding the custom recovery for our phone, even if you did port a working custom recovery the works for our phone, you won't be able to install it because our bootloader is locked; which is also why your screen turned green after trying to boot into your custom recovery. I found 2 possible solutions for flashing scripts and mods: kn0x0ut Toolbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550120 and Flash Gordon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555 I haven't been able to try them yet but I think kn0x0ut toolbox is more reliable. I hope this helped

[Q] Cannot root S5830 2.3.6

Hello,
I'm trying to root my S5830 but it's not working. I have had it rooted before because I installed Samsung's stock android version 2.3.6 (The phone originally came with 2.2.1 I think).
The exact stock firmware on the phone is GINGERBREAD.XWKTQ.
I tried applying the universal_gb_root_v25 file in recovery mode and it seems to be working. There's no errors or anything and it tells me the device has been rooted and to restart. However after restarting, the device does not appear to be rooted at all, RootValidate tells me root access is not available. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

have you just installed custom recovery?
I remeber you need first to root the phone and later install custom recovery.
If you not installed custom recovery, try to flash the attached file.

Thanks, what custom recovery are you talking about? I just entered the default android recovery mode by pressing HOME and POWER buttons on startup. I tried the upd_1 file in recovery mode and it ran okay, but unfortunately it didn't fix the problem.

I talk about CWM /clockwork) 5.0.2.6

This fixed it for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850070
So it seems the problem was there was not enough space left and I first had to run Delete_thinkdroid.zip to free up some space. After that I applied upd_1.zip and now the phone is rooted.

Tried to Root N-920W8, Restarts during Phone Calls

Hi,
I tried to root my N-920W8 with Nobel Kernel and it keeps restarting during phone calls.
And I found a post in XDA about the SkyHigh Kernal (which has fixed the call reboot bug) for N-920W8 but it is in .zip format where I can not use ODIN.
Tried to convert the .zip into .tar and failed.
I tried to connect my phone to my PC and place the .zip file into my phone USB file as there is no external SD for Note 5.
(Not sure whether there is a particular location to place the .zip file.)
After place the .zip, tried to flash it in the download/recovery mode (volume down+power+home botton),
it said could not find sd card/failed to do so.
Tried to go to SAMMobile.com to find stock rom, can not download anything...seems like it's empty or the link is not working.
I tried to search stock rom from other sites and found nothing as well.
I saw someone posted similar threads and suggested to try arter97 root but it will have slight lag which I do not want.
Plus, the person with the problem did not confirm whether or not it fixs the problem.
I am really frustrated with a lot searching and browsing so I decide to open a new thread to ask.
Do I have to flash back to stock rom in order to root properly? Or can I just find a stable kernel and flash it with ODIN and everything will work fine?
Could you provide step-by-step instructions and links as well? I am a noob but I am not taking it for granted but it's just that I am afraid I might mess things up...
*Also, I am not sure whether the following problem relates to the one above...
When I am rebooting, it says "KERNAL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
Is it the same issue? Or a different one?
Thank you for taking your time to read my thread.
I will be really thankful for the solution. Thank you!

I'm pretty sure your next step is to wipe all data , for your phone to boot. I had to do this when I first rooted my device (N-920w8 telus). I had followed this guide :
http://galaxynote5root.com/galaxy-n...alaxy-note-5-on-android-6-06-0-1-marshmallow/
On page 2 , steps 11 , 12 and 13.
Your phone will be stucked in a boot loop until you "format data" . Unfortunately , you will lose everything in your phone by doing this.
Once you've installed TWRP , so that you never have to "format data" again if you try other updates , i recommend "Flashfire" . This tool can install full firmware packages for updates , but without removing your recovery partition, leaving TWRP intact , which you can then use again to reflash SuperSU and the "no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip"
Good luck
