First of all I hope this is in the right place: I did do a search but still couldn't find any help.
Here's my problem:
After getting a (delicious) taste for customisation after rooting and lagfixing, I decided to give custom ROMs a go. Hours of indecision passed and ultimately I settled on Doc and Stefunel's magical ROM. Due to currently being on 2.1, I chose to follow the set of instructions provided on the page for doing so.
All was well up until the very final step. When rebooting the phone through ClockworkMod Recovery, instead passing the Samsung boot screen into the Android system, the phone boots into CWM recovery. I've tried doing another factory reset, and reinstalling the ROM to no avail. I've also tried mounting "/mnt/sdcard" in order to place another ROM to flash from, but I keep getting a message telling me to insert a disk (what happens when you don't mount).
That's pretty much all there is to it. I'd be massively grateful for any help!

If you have made a backup of your apps then flash the JPY with Odin and then make factory reset in recovery mode. Then root with CF Root 1.3 (Or something like that) and flash CWM Recovery. That's what I would do.

from the recovery menu try wipe cache and dalvik, and reboot
Hi. My galaxy s3 4g I9305 OPTUS AUSTRALIA. has been rooted cwm installed. I have tried to install Xtreme.v6.1 and supreme rom 5.0. Neither would fire up after multiple attempts. I have wiped delvic cache, cache partition, wipe data/ factory reset, battery stats and fix permissions.
both roms load (flash) sucessfully then I get the samsung reboot screen and after that a pulsing samsung logo which stays for hours. can any one tell me what I may have missed? Flash is done via cwm install zip from sd card.

Try to do the 3 wipes...
I would try TWP recovery, as big as CWM is I have found many bugs and such with it and so far absolutely zero with TWP. Is it giving you any errors when trying to flash via CWM? Read the text because it may just be warnings and install anyway. There are also logs you can upload (go to advanced settings I believe)

Was flashing my friends i9305 and now it wont boot any rom I flash... always gets stuck on the first boot screen until I take out battery.
I flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 using odin.
I have tried flashing several roms (CM 11, CM 10.1, PACman 4.3)... Each one will flash with no errors, then when I reboot after correct GAPPS it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever and won't boot up into ROM.
Wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system > Install rom from zip, install GAPPS from zip > reboot (even here I wipe system/data/cache - still doesnt work).
Any ideas on why it won't load up the roms....

Well I figured it out... since it was never flashed or anything before (from stock rom)... I just went into the Mounts and Storage menu, and formated /cache /system /data manually and it finally worked.
Hope that helps
Hello Everybody, My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and I have an issue.I am the one who is changing rom constantly.I was using the rom named ''Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios'' for a long time.Lately i loaded another rom, 2 hours after i used, The phone was closed by itself, I tried open phone again but it stayed at boot animation screen.After that, I thought that rom is spoilt, I tried other roms but they stayed at boot animation screen as well.I tried all of roms that i have but result was same.I thought that i should try the rom which i was using before all those problems started.So i flashed Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios Rom.Bizarre but it worked.When it opened i have faced with some pop-up ''android upgrading 0/70'' when it finished (70/70) i was at homescreen and all of my apps that i downloaded when i was using this rom at old days was there.It was so weird, And all aplications started to stop itselves and i even havent touched any of them. Like ''Unfortunately Whatsapp has stopped'' ''Unfortunately contacts has stopped'' ''Unfortunately facebook has stopped'' finally they all stoped working and i tried open applications, No application opened even contacts.
Present state: Only one rom is working, Others staying at boot animation screen and the rom which is working actually not working, Only phone is opening, No application working
What is the Problem? What Should i do? I am waiting your answers, THANKS.

Are you do a full wipe, before flashing another custom rom?
I did Wipe data factory reset, Wipe cache partition, Advanced>Wipe Dalvik cache

I suggest you install the stock rom using odin. It seems you have some corrupted files. Before flashing the stock rom, do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache Partitions, Mount & Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Once you have flashed the stock rom, go to recovery mod and do Wipe Data/ Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition (otherwise bootloop might occur). After that install root and CWM from the recovery mod. Now you can install any other custom rom without any problem. Do post your results. Hope I Helped

Uninstall kies, and then download driver for galaxy ace.
Maybe, there is something wrong with your recovery, what recovery do you use?

And, try redownload, and flash that rom again. Maybe, it's corrupted.
i unistalled and nothing happened.
And there is no problem about driver because pc is recognizing the phone which means it's was already updated.
ClockworkMod Recovery version is v4.0.0.9
And i flashed many times

Try installing CWM 5 from the recovery mod. CWM 5 is much more stable than CWM 4. Once you have installed CWM 5, do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache Partitions, Mount & Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Then try to flash any working rom with it. Here is the link,
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Do post your result. Hope I Helped

Hi guys.. I need help on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini i8190.. I (think) did everything but nada..
Problem
My phone is always restarting, it gets in to the phone for a few seconds but then always restart.
It is rooted, with CWM Recovery touch 6.2.0.7.
What i have done
CWM Recovery
- Factory Reset
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Wipe Data
- Wipe Cache
*everytime i got into recovery mode, i noticed that the system is unmounted, is that normal?
In the recovery mode, it said that it was success but when i reboot system, still get the same latest phone condition with no change at all. It means the factory reset, and all the wiping did not work.
Odin
- Flash with stock ROM
- Install latest CWM recovery
- Install stock recovery
- Install Cyanogen
In the ODIN, it said that it was a success, still i get the same latest phone condition with no change at all. It means that all the process was not working.
I concluded that this might happens because the internal storage was very full, it has only 16 MB left (according to CWM when i try to backup on internal storage). And i think the only way is to factory reset, but as i mentioned before, i tried using CWM to factory reset but still go back to the latest phone condition.
I am looking forward for your help guys..
i have the same problem and tried also all the ways you mentioned.
this problem drives me crazy. please help guys
Have you tried using twrp instead, just a thought, & maybe clear out internal storage with file manager
