[Q] ICS Alpha 6 on I9000 International

I have I9000 international and have flashed ICS Alpha 6 via CWM recovery and then the kernel but I can't get beyong the first logo screen. Please help me out. I have tried Alpha 4 also but the result was the same. Below is what I did.
1. Flashed latest XXJVT rom via ODIN.
2. Flashed Semaphore 1.8.2 kernel.
3. Flashed ICS Alpha6 rom via CWM recovery
4. And, flashed FuguICSi9000update.zip.
Please help me as I desperately want to try ICS on my I9000.
Thanks for the upcoming help!

Wipe dalvik cache, factory reset

I have tried this too. I am not a newbie. I usually flash my phone once in a week to try different custom roms but I don't know why I am not successful with this one.

Hello,
Can you go to the recovery and try flashing the zip file again.

I have just repeated everything from scratch after flashing brand new JVT rom but still of no use.

1. Flash XXJVT
2. Flash cf root or semaphone any kernel with cwm
3. Wipe data, cache and davik
4. Flash ICS Alpha 6
5. Enter recovery (If it boot loop take out battery)
6. Wipe data, cache and davik
7. Flash ICS Alpha 6
8. Flash FuguICSi9000update.zip
9. Reboot
Like miui, cwm3 seems to have problems flashing. When you flash in the first time on ICS Alpha 6, it will not work but cwm3 is updated to cwm5. Then you flash again should work already.

[Q] Format/Cleaning my SGS, going for ICS cleanest as possible!

Hello,
First I want to say sorry because my english isn't on a high level.
I'm a SGS user for some months and I flashed it many times ago (MIUI, CM7, other custom roms...). Now I'm on "teamhacksung ICS 4.0" by... lets say 1-2months.
I was thinking of upgrading to the latest version of your ROM and wanted to use to try to leave my SGS as if it was just purchased.
I was wondering which is the most appropriate way to do it.
As much as I wanted (I started looking more than 1 hour ago) I have not enlighten.
I searched about clean "Stock ROMS" but I think that I will not be able go to into CWM and I will not be able to install again CM9 via .zip
So.. whats the solution???!!!!!! I'm getting crazy...
Thanks guys.

Do a factory reset and clear catched data
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

1. in CWM factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. advanced > wipe dalvik cache
4. mount & storage > format sdcard
5. install an Kernel cleaning script (like this one from lippo) under install zip (from an e.g. extern sdcard)
6. than flash a rom 2 a clean system
there you go

1. So with that, I won't lose "Root" and the "CWM" wich I have at my phone?
2. Doing that will clean completly the system?
3. It isn't better to first install a stock rom (eg JVT or JVU), install a kernel that makes me automatically "Root" and installs "CWM", and then install CM9?
I don't know wich "kernel" or "rom" I have at the moment under my CM9 (...maybe I'm confusing concepts...).
Thank you so much!

1. You will lose Root and CWM, cause you go back to stock.
2. No. To format "as from the store" you need to flash stock gingerbread - JVU, JVT, with repartition checked in Odin (it wipes also sd card);
3 After you install stock gb, flash a rooted kernel, like CF-Root or Semaphore and then flash ICS.
CM7 and Gingerbread(GB) are Android 2.3.x
CM9 and ICSSGS and other are Android 4.0.x
Make sure what you have. Cm9 is another build than ICSSGS.

At the moment I got: "teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA (Build 16)"
- Wich stock rom do you recommend me for CM9 or ICSSGS then? I got JVT at the moment with modem JVT from "siky_dude" post but my conex isn't working propely...
How can I know wich is the most aproppiated stock for my phone? I'm from Spain and I'm Vodafone (I dont know if that matters).
Thank you again guys!

Well.. if you are on Vodafone in Europe, use XXJVU (don't forget to check repartition). You can find it on Sammobile.com or here on XDA. Flash that one. Then flash Semaphore 2.5.0 (not 2.5.0 BM).
After that you can copy on your phone the rom that you want. I am on ICSSGS. I found it the best (this is up to you).
For the modem, you have to try to see which one has the best reception in your area. In Romania, i use JVT and JVU. Both work fine.
After you flash ICS, you can also try KF1 and KB3 for modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548815
As a further reference, ICSSGS has a RC5 in testing, and in the next few days will be updated to 4.0.4 because Google has started releasing the sources.

[Q] Slim ICS problem! Bootloop, tried everything!

So the other day I tried to flash Slim ICS on to my i9000 but I failed. There's like three methods you can try between if the first one doesn't succeed... Non of them worked for me. I still got the same boot loop on every method, every time. What am I supposed to do? Can someone please be so kind and write me a step by step tutorial of how to install Slim ICS. Worth mentioning is I'm on Darky's gingerbread rom JVQ v10.2 RES.

You flashed ICS Kernel first? Tried to install the Rom twice? First to install Kernel and second to install Rom?

Step 1. Boot into CWM recovery.
Step 2. Wipe data/Factory reset.
Step 3. Mounts and storage> Format / System.
Step 4. Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache & Wipe Battery stats.
Step 5. Install from SD card...
i. Flash Base_3.6.zip
ii. Flash Base_3.6.zip again
iv. Flash 3.6_I9000_Essentials.zip
v. Flash any other .zips you require like face unlock
**Step 6. Flash an alternative kernel like Siyah or NEAK, SOD reports from users of stock kernel. I flashed Siyah from the beginning when I updated to 3.6 so can't comment.**
Reboot.
Happy days!
**EDIT: SORRY don't flash Siyah or NEAK because they are GT-I9100 kernels!! Ma bad!

I tried to install the rom twice without any luck. I haven't tried to install ICS kernel first though. Do you recommend one?

I've followed step 1-5 with no luck whatsoever. I haven't tried step 6. I will probably end up in a boot loop after step 5 so how do I install the kernel? Should I put the kernel on the SD card together with the rom and the essentials and flash the kernel before the reboot after step 5?

You could flash your I9000 with another ICS via Odin and then try??
PLEASE NOTE I edited my post above, blasted Tapatalk.

OMG! I'm panicking! I just cannot get it to work... I've tried everything! Done all the methods recommended. Flashed semaphore ICS 1.1.1 and it still won't work! The only taste of this "well spoken of" rom I can get is through slim ICS v2.6, it doesn't boot loop but when booted I can't seem to get any 3g or signal. So not even that works. I WANT THIS ROM SO BADLY! Please someone help me!

Follow a thread like Team ICSSGS for dummies or ICS333 to get ICS on your phone then follow steps below (from Slim website).
From another ICS ROM
1. Download my latest Base + Essentials (from downloads page download zip not md5)
2. Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
3. Flash Base*** AND Essentials, Reboot to system.
*** - If the base flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash base before flashing essentials.
You can also clear cache & dalvik cache,clear nstools & init'd (advanced menu). You should clear cache & dalvik cache, nstools & init'd before flashing semaphore. Also once in ROM it is best not to actually use nsTools but rather use semaphore app.
No need to clear battery. My battery is as good as ever and I've never done this and I've flashed a lot of different ROMS.
if you are coming from gingerbread you will need to flash a modem.

Flasing JB from ICS

Hi,
im not pretty sure how to flash safely from my ICS to JB (CM10).
Im on RocketROM ICS XXLPY v3 with the Notecore Kernel.
In the developer threads there is mentioned that you have to upgrade from
CM9 or something like that.
I just want to get sure, before bricking my note .
Hope somebody can explain to me which methods are safe and which not.
Thanks !

Safe methods:
- Flashing from GB kernel ( for CM9 )
- Flashing from custom / non-stock ICS kernel that had the format command removed
- Flashing from CM9 / CM10 kernels
Brick methods:
- Flashing from anything ICS that came from Samsung
Simply follow the instructions in the thread and you'll be fine.
Check if Notecore kernel is "safe". If it is, you're ready to go. If it's not, you need to flash safe kernel first, and then go for CM10.
If you're afraid or anything, you can always go the long way: stock GB via PC Odin > root > CM9 > CM10, although we should really stop using this method now because devs put a lot of work so that we won't have to do it like that.

Okay.
My way, i would try it:
1. Flash AbyssKernel 4.2 over my ICS RocketROM ICS XXLPY v3.
2. Reboot the recovery
3. Flash CM9 and GApps
4. Factory Reset/Data Wipe
5. Reboot
6. Reboot in Recovery
7. Flash CM10 and GApps
8. Factory Reset/Data Wipe
9. Reboot
The only part, which makes me unsure is "Flashing from anything ICS that came from Samsung". You mean the kernel or could RocketROM brick my note cause its from a samsung firmware ? Even if i flash Abyss before ?
Sorry for asking again, but the Note is a expensive device and I dont want to go back to my Lumia 900
Thank you !

This is my metod. All working good on my N7000

My method:
-Flash CM9 kernel with PC Odin
-Boot into CWM and flash CM10+gapps
-wipe/factory reset and wipe dalvik
done

[Q] Slim ICS - Device_x.x.zip ???

Hi. We are give the following instructions:
"
From a Froyo/GB Rom to SlimICS
Download latest cm9 nightly or any ICS kernel (odin or cmw flashable), device_x.x.zip and Slim_Common.zip
Enter CWM Recovery, Wipe data, Format System ( In Mounts and Storage)
Flash CM9 nightly or any ICS kernel ( via odin or cwm).
Reboot to recovery.
Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then Slim_Common.zip.
Reboot to system, Enjoy.
"
Where do we find the file Device_x.x.zip ??? I can't find an explanation where it is. I have an I896. Thank you.

To my understanding the I897 and I896 can take the same roms but I don't own an 896 so I don't know whether this is true. As far the the Slim Rom you are looking at it only has the 897 version so you would be flashing at your own risk.
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewcategory/27-4-2 Should take you straight to what you are looking for. Just download the one labeled I897_4.2.

Thanks for the replay. I've tried I897_4.2 yesterday but it crashed my phone and it wasn't loading anymore, so i rebranded it back to Rogers and then turned it back to CM9. So as of right now, I have installed CM9.1.0 and Slim_Common on my phone and it is working well.
Is Device_x.x.zip required? What exactly does it contain? My phone appears to be working without installing Device_x.x.zip. Thanks.
