problem flashing cm7 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
i tried to flash the latets stable cm7 rom today.
my phone showed the cyanogenmod logo but than started rebooting. i tried to go back to stock via odin but accidently flashed only a kernel (semaphore) and my recovery menu was messed up afterwards.
i fixed my mistake and installed stock rom, than the semaphore kernel and reflashed clockworkmod recovery.
i downloaded an miui rom and tried to install it but it showed me again the cyanogenmod logo (even though i erased the file) and started rebooting again.
is there a way to install the miui rom or any other rom without recovery - maybe only via odin
thanks for your help

Hi
Remove SD card
Enter o install new CWM with Odin
Make three wipes Data Cache Y Dalvik and in mount/storage.....format system
Install rom from SD Card

Did you enabled the USB debugging mode or rooted your phone post using Odin.

i think usb debugging was off.
i dont know how to install cwm with odin. do i need to insert the file to the pda and flash like you flash a kernel?
edit: the kernel i flashed on my device came with cwm, so is it ok or do i need to reflash cwm seperatelly?

anyone?

[Q] Constant Boot Loops when trying to install new ROMs

I have CWM 4.00.15 installed and I tried to install Ryyu's Rom (Wipe) by putting it on the SD card and rebooting into recovery, then selecting the zip file and hitting apply. When the installation tried to update my kernel, it just froze and rebooted. I was then stuck on a boot loop between the Galaxy S screen and the CyanogenMod boot screen. I know that Ryyu's did not install correctly because the CyanogenMod boot screen was still there. I had to use 3 button recovery and erase cache, davlik cache and user data before trying to install AOSP Essence, but same problem happened. Installation dies and phone keeps rebooting in loops. Finally, gave up and went back to CyanogenMod Nightly and it worked.
Why can't I seem to install any other ROMs besides Cyanogen? I know I am doing something wrong, but not sure what. Any advice/help appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried starting from a clean install?
Try starting with a stock rom and then to activate Cwm flash a modded Kernel.

Hi,
this is what I initially did to get Cyanogen on:
1. Used Superoneclick root to root phone
2. Check that 3 button recovery and download mode works. Recovery version was 3e, so installed superlagfix from android market. This automatically installed ClockworkMod Recovery as well.
3. Use CWM and flashed recovery for Samsung Galaxy S i9000
4. Reboot into recovery and select the CyanogenMod zip file and click apply to install.
To install subsequent ROMs, I just put the zip file on my SD card, reboot into recovery and repeat step 4 above, after clearing cache and user data. It is after that I get stuck on boot loops.
I did do a Nandroid backup before my initial Cyanogen install so I can go back and restore it, but it would be Froyo.
when coming from CM / MIUI - Samsung based ROM
you MUST flash a 3 file firmware with pit and re-partition.
Cyanogen and MIUI use different partitions than samsung ROMs so this is why you are having issues.
Ok, just managed to flash Darky's EE 10.2 using Odin. Not sure if Odin is the ideal way, but it worked. Really enjoying Darky's. Thanks folks!

Recovery mode dont work and alway get factory reset

Hi,
I installed v30b for test but now i want to go back on cm10. I flashed a stock v20 with cwm with smartflash and i was able to boot in recovery. I tested to load my v20 rom but that alway come back to recovery, impossible to load my v20 rom. So, i tried to install cm10 and all was ok. But when i try to go in recovery mode, the phone restart without going into it and do a factory reset.
Now each time im trying to go in recovery mode, cm10 do a factory reset
What i can do for resolve this problem?
Flash cwm with rom manager
Sent from my phone powered by cm10, Big thanks to RC
Rom manager said im on 5.0.2.6. So i can only install the version 6 of cwm but it dont work(cant mount sd card)
So its impossible to install again 5.0.2.6 by rom manager. Because rom manager dont show old cwm version like before
Its very strange because before my v20cwm rom worked. Now i got boot loop in recovery mode. And if i install cm10, its impossible to go in recovery without factory reset
I tried to flash cwm with PC and i alway get "access denied" (debug on, mass storage off)
Oh yes i got it from ZEUS rom. Flashed cwm from UPK kit pack
thx!

[Q] CWM boot loop?

Hi i have the i9001, I rooted the phone earlier and all was fine, I then went to install cwm via odin using the 2 files and it flashed them and the phone rebooted back into android where it then said pass on odin even though it timed out? i tried booting into cwm and was succesful so thought nothing of it and backed up my rom and then flashed real rom.
and now my phone will only boot into cwm and thats it and after while will turn off and reboot into cwm and it will keep doing this.
I have no sd card installed. and i still have the problem when i restore the stock rom.
Any help guys as this isnt my phone?
This happened to me on my I9000 so might work. My solution was to wipe data/cache partition/dalvik again in cwm, re flash new ROM and reboot, if back into cwm then repeat. Took me 3 repeats then booted fine. Happened as I upgraded from stock GB 2.3.6 to CM10.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Yes that normal if you want to upgrade from GB zu JB. Because of first the change of the kernel respectivly the change to new CWM, and then for the new partitionlayout, you have to flash 2 or sometimes even 3 times the rom of your choice and then it should boot....!

[Seek help] fail in booting system....sigh

Hi all,
give some information first.... at the beginning, i used rom manager to flash clockwork recovery 6.0.1.2, later i hv flashed cm10.1 rom, but i found that the resolution has some problem, so i want to flash back to stock rom... And then i go to this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191, to install PhilZ-cwm6 (which is safer for installing stock rom?? i dont know).... After i hv applied the zip in the recovery mode, i found that i cant boot into the system (btw i hv wipe data and cache)
besides, i hv tried odin v1.87, but my pc cant connect with my phone (in download mode)...

For the future:
Philz kernel is used for TouchWiz ROM's (based off what samsung gives us). You flashed a TW kernel onto a CM 10.1 ROM. If you still want to try out CM, then boot into recovery, do a full wipe, flash CM and gapps. After that is done perform a data wipe (factory reset) through recovery

ROM unable to install

This is my second attempt to install custom ROM and I failed... I did everything step by step and it doesn't work. Or it doesnt boot at all or it craches in recovery mode while installing update.
This time i used some nightly unofficial and it stoped installing in recovery :S This is so annoyng
I downloaded stock lastest from code support for my Samsung S5830 because obviously there is non stable version of custom ROM right now.
I do not advise to go over Android 2.3.6 for S5830 or you will burn down your phone system...

Ok now you are unrooted on your new polish right. So now root it with UniversalGingerbreadroot.zip (google it.) Flash an older version of CWM(5.0) through the stock recovery. Finally install a stable custom rom initially do not go for CM roms as for testing try some other stock based rom and if successful you can advance to CWM.
All the best.

Here you'll find ROOT and CWM files to get ready your Ace, than you'll be able to install Customs STOCK Roms, CM7.x, CM9.x, CM10.x
Read carefully the threads in GT-S5830 Android Development section and follow the dev's instructions
PS: To get CM11.x you'll need to flash CWM6.x or TWRP
