[Q] Not Booting - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had recently flashed Gamerz Rom from ICS ROM. I flashed Midnight GB kernel over it. Now when I am trying to flash back ICS ROM, phone always boots into Recovery. I tried flashing different ICS ROMs, still it always boots into Recovery.
I don't know what to do.?

Try all three wipes...
If that doesnt work flash ur phone with stock firmware if u can go into download mode....
If my post helped, dont mind pressing the thanks button

Nopes
I always do all 3 wipes.
And yeah I am considering to flash the stock ROM, but am trying my best to avoid all those steps.

I m afraid but u have to go on stock first..

This "trick" is actually using if you go from gb to ics. I recommend you flash cyanogenmod 7.2 (2.3.7 GB), than go for cyanogen mod 9.0(for ics), than reflash any other ics you prefer.
cheers

I had the same issue two days ago.
I flashed GB 3 Part Firmware with Odin.
I booted into downloadmode, flashed cF-root kernel, reboot to recovery and then flashed Devil Kernel already.
I flashed it, because i wanted to flash from external sdcard. That devil kernel flash was the problem. Copy latest CM9 nightly on internal sdcard, and flash it from gb kernel recovery. While flashing process it should Reboot and continue the flashingprocess. Hope you understand, what i wanted to say ^^
Hope i could solve your Problem

[Q] Quick Q: Back to 2.3.6 from ICS

Noob question but I can't find a definitive answer from the search and want to be absolutely sure.
I'm currently on CM9 nightly builds but I'm finding it a little laggy if I do not reboot regularly and have been curious to test out the DMORE gingerbread ROM
What is the best way to do this?
Am I right in thinking that I can flash CF-Root with Odin now and then flash DMORE with cwm after that?
Do I tick repartition in ODIN?
Ta v much
Hi , you are already rooted so no need to flash new cf root.....in the op of cm9 it says that going back to gingerbread(cm7) will need flashing twice , so you could just put the new rom on your internal sd then flash it twice without reboot inbetween , after wipe of course.

Ah, so I don't even need to bother with ODIN, thats good.
Cheers
EDIT: Even though in the OP of the DMORE rom it says I must already be on Gingerbread just doing two flashes will get around this?
I would probably take the safe option and downgrade to gingerbread ....but the 2 flash method should do the trick , worst that could happen would be having to go back stock through odin anyway

Just tried to flash dmore then and got a 'installation aborted' message :\
Should I flash GB in Odin first?
Yes , flash a stock Samsung gb firmware ...was worth a try.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
No need to flash a full rom just flash cf-root with odin without reboot.when flashed,pull out battery.boot to recovery using 3 button combo.factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik and flash d-more.reboot.
I come back to gingerbred from the onecomisc rom one month ago, I just erased everything andput back the old bootloader before flashing gingerbread stock
Everything seems fine. 2.3.6 seems nice!

[Q] How can i install custom ICS roms on my N7000? I tried Everything !!

Hey Guys If anyone can help i would Greatly Appreciate it !!! I cant seem to install any ICS custom Roms. I came from a Ginger Bread rooted stock rom. I used Odin to flash my N7000 to ICS 4.0.3 stock ( Baseband XXLPT-Build #XXPLY) got it rooted and now using Kernel Franco#5. I tried installing Kingdroid.V4 or RocketRom.V7 ICS roms by using Abyss Kernel4.2 at CWM. I followed every step on their Forums but for some reason at installing the rom, the flashing of installing it only took 15-20 seconds installing the rom and my phone states it "Completed" the install, once i restart the phone it stays on the "Samsung Note N700 Logo" what am i doing wrong ?? Can anyone help ?
This worked for me. From the stock ICS LQ2 , i flash CWM.zip + SU... .zip to get root, then flash a safe kernel, afterwards, I flashed the custom rom from CWM and worked for me. As long as the "safe ics kernel" has mmc_cap disabled, as it is said in the OP, than i just went for it , so all is good now without any flashing abyss... Hope this helps, or gives you a boost.
Cheers.
Check the videos in my sig....you should get the answers fir everything :good:

You have to installed them over a Stock Rooted GB rom...not ICS...

Also, remember the issues around flashing with ICS ROMS especially if running the LPY kernel. The best guide I have found on how to do this is the one from the Rocket ROM team. Have pasted a link to the thread (scroll to the bottom of the page for process).

U can try flash cwm.zip..then straight flashing abyss (do not reboot to recovery after flash cwm.zip)..restart to system..when stuck in samsung logo press volume down+home button+power button to enter recovery..do full wipe and then flash rom. Reboot to system. Hope it works.

it seems i can only flash through odin when it comes to ics cutom roms... does anyone know on how to flash these roms through odin? since i cant find a way to convert these roms to md5 format for odin to recongize.
Thanks for the help but i tried that method and its still not installing the ics rom correctly...No one knows if this is possible to flash through odin ?
I face this problem before.. the GT-N7000 will just stay on n not go off for long long time
what i did.. when i see that screen stuck n i confirm it is stuck.. then i press vol up+power+home to reboot into recovery....
when rebooted u will see abssy 4.2 is load up.. from there you install rom n then reboot system..
it should work

I tried that method too but no luck. It installs but only took 15 seconds and it stated it was done installing, once rebooted it stood on the logo again. I have no clue as to why its not installing these ICS roms correctly.....
Litening rom does come with .tar.md5 format, maybe you can try flashing that wih PC Odin since you're comfortable with it. Link www.liteningrom.com.
1. Download the file .rar into your PC and unzip until you get .tar.md5
2. Flash using PC Odin. It will NOT trigger yellow triangle (I've tested it)
3. Your phone will reboot to STOCK recovery. Just select reboot system and WAIT. Kinda long...but just wait until it's done.
4. You can proceed to flash kernel with custom recovery by using Mobile Odin, e.g. speedmod, etc

Thanks kopitalk for the info. It worked like a charm through odin. I would of liked some of the Samsung galaxy S3 modifications on this rom but at least it worked like a charm with that Md5 File.

Dude before you brick your phone.. Go download notecore kernel and flash it via pc odin... After that you will see a yellow triangle on the boot screen.. Do not worry about it for now..
Then in the boot screen press volume up+home+power once in CWM wipe data and reboot
Once booted in Android download triangle away app and install it then follow steps to remove the yellow triangle
After that download any desired rom.. As you are gonna be in a safe kernel (yes notecore its a safe kernel) follow all the developer's steps to install the desired rom
It will basically be put the rom in the internal sd, boot to cwm (power+volume up+home) wipe data /wipe cache, choose zip from internal sd and flash the rom
REMEMBER YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS FROM A SAFE KERNEL..

As far as I can see, you have some sort of corruption in your emmc or some other partition. If i were you, to be on the safe side i would have taken all the trouble to start again from scratch. Flashing a GB rom with Odin with a .pit file and re-partitioning enabled should wipe your note clean (dont worry no brick with pc odin) . Then flash a "safe" ics kernel either by pc odin (safer and you can remove the triangle and custom flash count by triangle away app) or by cwm.zip (use only once while flashing kernel). Then choose the custom ics rom that you want to install and flash it from the new kernel recovery (no need for abyss kernel etc) with full wipe (data,cache,dalvik). Also if you face problems go through this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732903
P.S. - I highly recommend starting from scratch by re-partitioning via Odin with correct pit file.

Back up in CMW stuck at "bb"

Hi guys,
Last week I rooted my phone and flashed the Rocketrom v10 flashing the Abysskernel first, just to be 100% sure there couldn't happen anything, and then flashed the rom. Everything works with fine with it and I'm very happy that I begin to understand how flashing and so is on a Samsung device (with the emmc brickbug and stuff).
Now: I want to flash the CM10 ROM but I prefer to do a backup of this rom before I flash any rom again. I tried once and got into clockworkmod recovery (via Volume up, power and menu button pressed all at once) and tried backing up my rom there. That didn't seem to be a problem untill the whole progress bar had reached to almost 100% and there was written "bb" and got stuck on that screen for ages..
What could that be?
I thought I could try to make a backup using ROMmanager but there they ask me to flash clockworkmod recovery, and I don't know if that's a good idea, because the rom already has a CWM recovery in itself?
thank you very much!
If you are interested inflashing CM10,here is the detailed guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801686
when you were doing the back up you were probably on Notecore kernel right ?
Yes, thats right. Is that the problem? Because I thought it was a safe kernel from what I can back up and wipe without problem..?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
That kernel seems to be laggy on cwn... Try speedmod k3 13.. Has fast cwm... Or hydracore which has the latest.
Also make sure u have enof space in ur storage

I have not been able to get the rom manager to work on my n7000:
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
So I could download hydracore or another safe kernel and immediate after that make a backup in cwm. Afterwards I'd have to do a fullwipe and after that I could flash for instance the paranoid android ROM? I dont need to installs another kernel to do these things right...just a safe kernel like hydracore?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I have a problem.
I tried flashing the hydracorekernel and it worked, than I tried backing upthe rom but it warned me I hadn't anough space, probably, and it continued the action and got stuck on system backup at "email.apk". So i pulled the battery to get the phone rebootedand free the sdcard space. But there it wentwrong: on the recovery CMW recovery that came with the hydracore kernel nothing happened when clicking 'reboot system now' to reboot the phone. It just showed me a screen with the rommanager logo and the version number of the cmw recovery, all the option (like choose zip from sd) dissapeared when clicking reboot but the phone didnt reboot.
What should I do now?
i dont have a backup on my phone yet, because I flashed hydracore to be able to backup my phone... I have these zipfiles onmy sdcard:
- abyskernel (I had it to be able to flash rocketrom)
- rocketrom zip
- paranoid android zip
- googleapps zip
- hydracore kernel zip
What should I do know?! My phone wontboot anymore, just because I wanted to back my rom up (and therefore flashed hydracore correctly)
as a rule you should never ever try flashing a kernel using CWM... that would tantamount bricking your phone.
If you can boot up still in Download Mode, You may need to downgrade back to stock GB first. Once your phone is in stock GB. Flash AbyssNote kernel to root your phone. By the way Abyss kernel is ONLY USE ON STOCK GB and NOT on any ICS ROM.
Once you have your phone rooted and in stock GB... follow the instructions on flashing back your RocketRom kernel (from the instructions in flashing on RocketRom's thread)
P.S. Not that I am against Hydra/NoteCore... but I am more confident in flashing SpeedMod on any custom ICS ROM. Not that it matters to you though, but I'm just saying it.

like I've said.. you can try whichever kernel you like.. but my personal preference is SpeedMod...I have nothing against HydraCore itself as I have tried it myself... and Yes SpeedMod doesn't have those 'magical elves and wizardry' that Hydra delivers... but what it can deliver is stability and peace of mind (at least on my part). You can gain confidence on a kernel when there's less (to none) issues it can bring.
Hmmm agree

[Q] Unsure on how to flash to GB????

Hi! So I've been trying to flash my phone back to GB Rom from my..I think its my stock ICS rom? (4.0.2) because I've rooted it already but haven't done anything else to it. I want to update it to CM 10.1 but I know it requires me to go back to GB before I can try to flash it to CM 10.1
I wasn't sure if I was able to flash my phone back down to GB Rom because I've been looking at threads.. and they said that doing that from an unsafe kernal (stock ICS) may result in a brick???
>< My Kernel Verison: N7000DXLP9-CL551076.
Not sure what to do. @[email protected]
Thanks for the help everyone
If you install a safe kernel on ICS, then you don't need to downgrade to GB. You can directly flash cm rom using Cwm.
On your ics rom you could install speedmod or hydracore kernel using mobile odin (as you said it's rooted) and boot into cwm, do the wipes and install cm rom.

Thanks for the response!! However.. I was reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796217
And it said if I flash from stock ICS... either way..roms based on ICS- it'll result in a brick? Wouldn't it be better for me to flash to GB first?
If you flash a safe kernel, it won't matter. But if GB is the way you want to go, it's safe too.

^Oh really? >< I just really don't want my phone to be bricked is all..because I did see the disclaimer on that thread. If I put a safe kernel on- would I still be on stock ICS?
I'm not even truly sure how to flash it back to GB because I'm not sure which GB rom to go to
Thanks
Forget crap about going back to GB and paranoic flashing instructions. Flash a PhilZ kernel (any zip version) from stock ICS, boot into new recovery, make a backup, do wipes and flash ROM. That's it.

[Q] Cyanogen 10.1 back to Darky?

Got CyanogenMod 10.1.2 on my i9000 but want to go back to Darky 11 black edition because it's still the best fully loaded Rom for the i9000.
Tried the full wipe, and mounts, followed by flashing the DarkyRom, but it keeps failing and going back to Cyan.
How can I get Darky back please?
Hey
Did u take a backup of darky Rom?
Also what's the error u get?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What errors did you get ??? some screenshots would help....:good:
Didn't do a back up of Darky bacause I've tried a few Roms since then (GamerzRom was a recent one).
As for the error, it's not an error as such. I have the Darkys Rom zip and when I try to install it via Recovery, it starts "preparing" and then the phone reboots back to recovery.
Maybe I need to flash a stock rom via Odin and then go to Darky?

darky rom and cm10.1.2 have different memory partitions...old one and new....you need to flash stock 2.36 jvu via odin to change partitions then darky rom on the top of stock
Most important is that you tick repartition and that your rom is a full one (4 parts)

sorry forgot to tell you...after flashing stock 2.36 jvu via odin to change partitions,you also need to root that stock again(and to get cwm) before flashing darkys. how to flash stock via odin? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
I actually popped to phone in a draw and forgot about it.
