Hi,
I am using SGS I9000 for past 1.5yrs.

But my phone is giving a lot of problem, hanging a lot, Force Closes etc..!!
I can pay few amount if my phone is successfully flashed with CM10 ROM.
My location is New Delhi/NCR - India.
Please let me know if anybody is interested here to help me out.
Thanks

Please check if you're cf-rooted.
If you are, go this website : http://get.cm/?device=galaxysmtd and download the latest cm9 nightly .zip file.
Off your phone, Go into recovery mode, Wipe cache , factory reset and select the cm9 file from your sd card and install it.
YOU ARE DONE

[Q] i9001 stuck in bootloop after updating

Hello guys, I've updated my SG+ to the latest firmware (XXKQ1) using ODIN over my old firmware (I didn't want to lose any settings/apps, sorry noob). My phone just started giving me forced app ending errors and now it's stuck in the bootloop (animation).
Any sugestion would be helpful! I would love a solution that would not require a total wipe of my settings/pics/etc.
try to get in download mode again by pressing volume button down, home button and power button. Open Odin select the firmware you downloaded as onepackage file and flash again but i think your pics and stuff like that will be gone.
Usually it should boot normally after a flash, without resetting anyway. But it helps in 90% to reset your device, maybe it doesn't boot up because you didn't resetted it. So im sorry to say that but I think you have to do that, or flash the firmware you had before..
For resetting you can go into the recovery mode (by pressing vol+ and power button, then when the "android out of the box" appears release these buttons and press the menu softbutton), then choose wipe data/factory reset or something like this. ^^
This doesn't seems to be solved.
I have the same problem, I did factory reset, formatted /system, wipe cache, dalvik, after updating I fixed permissions, but the phone is still on bootloop.
I did: RemICS 1.3 and CyanogenMod 9 with CWM 5.5.0.4. Always bootloop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735976
Any help?
The only ROM that is working is the original one from samfirmware.com.
I'm sorry for post under the post, but I wanted to go this topic to the top, so anybody with this issue would see it.
I have tested one solution and it help with me:
Before uploading CWM into the Phone, format external sdcard. After that upload on external sdcard the zip archive with ROM and upload CWM with Odin.
After going to recovery mode and installing the ROM (I uploaded RemICS 1.3a), everything work just fine.
bootloop

1. Where you find cwm.zip can you link me that page (not file)
2.Are you able to entre in download mode
3.You were on which ROM while doing this?
i downloaded cwm.zip with the busybox from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
yes i can enter the download mode
i am on the stock ics rom (which i upgraded the 2.3 to it)
please help me
and thanks for the fast reply
First you didn't know that zip is not available now, and you must have this which you downloaded earlier, that zip is abandonas it proved to use unsafe and can brick device.
Not only that, you souldn't have to wipe anything on stock ICS.
Anyway if you are able to enter download mode then flash any GB ROM you have already with you, otherwise download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin
ok i wasn't know that, anyway i downloaded odin, what did i need else? what you mean by "download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin"?
i didn't understand this sentence, did it mean that i need specific type of rom to flash it from odin?
thank you a lot
Yes download this
http://d-h.st/HJM
Extract it and flash with PC odin.

please reply thanks
with my respect
See everything is on your luck, I hope you get device working again with above said ROM.
But remember even after flashing ROM successfully, it may not boot up, dont worry. enter to recovery(vol up+hole+power) and wipe cache, delvik cache and data. then it should fine.
But if while flashing ROM, if it stuck then your luck is not with you and chances will be high you have bricked device.
Let report back, n Me or someone will guide you for next step.

if it is depends on my luck, so it is a problem anyway thank u a lot and wish me a good luck.
B'coz what you did was totally wrong and risky, and if any damage you had can only rule out once your device gets life again. So pray before flashing and GoodLuck from ourside.

yes it was been a wrong, and i didn't have the enough experience to do like this step,
i install the ore rooted rom (in your signature) and i flash it, before it finish flashing it stop and then give an error, and when i turn on the phone to the recovery mode it give a message "firmware upgrade encourtted an issue, please select recovery mode is kies and try again" what can i do please.
thanks
You should have noted down the error on that flash before you went to recovery mode. Every error is an essential part and you should take a note of it as this can lessen your upgrade issues.
So here's what your going to do. Turn the phone to Airplane Mode.
Try to reflash again the pre prooted GB room in download mode Once your successful doing it, download stock ICS firmware (in your region) from www.samfirmware.com. Don't use OTA updates as this will mostly fail. Just use PC KIES to update your phone back to 4.0.4 ICS.
Take it one step at a time and again next time, remember try not to be in a hurry doing it. It takes patience and a bit of luck in flashing and upgrading.
Yes as above said, reflash ROM by putting device in download mode
hello again
in the begining thank you for your help
i fixed my phone, in a shop specialized for these cases but i dont know how.
and my phone now returned to the stock ics rom.4.0.3
i would ask if i can flash a custom rom (jelly bean 4.1 for example) and what are the safety steps that can i follow to avoid any another brick to my phone? what do you advise?
thanks again.
if u on ics u need to flash a safe kernel like philz or hydracore. that's it. Now u r good to go
Is there any danger if i flash any of the kernels u mentioned? And does the phone remain working after i flash the kernel? And after i flash the kernel what is the next step? Flash the rom? Or there is any step required before?
Thanks a lot
yes the phone will work after flashing any of the mentioned kernels.
philz is the best for ics as it can be installed from stock recovery and it's safe and gives u root and cwm
then u can boot into cwm and do a factory reset format system, data, wipe cache and dalvik then install the new rom.

[Q] Galaxy note N7000 root fail...HELP!!!

Im a total novice when it comes to rooting. i did manage to root my N7000, but after a few hours my phone became quite muggy...i rebooted it and on reboot it said "upgrading".
Since then it has been unusable, i did the volume up/home/power button and tried a wipe data....phone still wont respond well. keyboard doesn't work, cant get a signal, and its generally so groggy, its pretty much unusable. i managed a factory reset with phone switched on, still no better.
any help would be massively appriciated
Adam:crying:
Relax mate! Am guessing a simple flashing of the stock firmware will solve ur issue.

Ok ..
First of all if you have properly rooted your android device with (clockwordmod recovery) or any other recoveries etc you need to have a Rom to flash it through this recovery
It is recommend that you must have safe kernel before flashing any ROM. Please download any of CM10.1 ROM from the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
Now Get the ROM for your appropriate device from the link below. Select the device and download the ROM. Use any Stable or Nightly version.
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
Next thing you need to download Google Apps package called GAPPS. Its latest version corresponding to CM10.1 android version 4.2.2 is on the top of the screen. (20130301) using link below
http://goo.im/gapps
Put all the files to micro SD Card. Since your operating system is not working so you may have to take out SD card and put these downloaded zip files to SD card using jacket or your laptop SD card slot.
Now Switch ON your android device to Recovery Mode by Holding Volume Up+ Power and Home Button together
Do following:-
Wipe data/Factory reset.
Wipe Cache.
Wipe Delvik Cache in Advanced Options ..
Fix permissions.
then go to your SD card and flash all these files in order
Flash the Kernel first and after flashing Reboot Your Recovery.
Now Flash
1. CM 10.1
2. GAPPS
Reboot .. n enjoy your new rooted phone
If you still face difficulty let me know ..

P.S
Although i haven't reached the 'recovery mode' part yet, i can tell you that the only options are:
reboot system now
apply update for external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
the delvik cache & fix permissions are not options
Adam
Here ur options
Two options with you
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Download clockword mod recovery from here.
Again I recommend using Chasmado Kernel and it will automatically install safe recovery files. TWRC or CMD Recovery

anyway i get some problem, i can open my recovery but when i press my power button it cannot select any of recovery menu. But i still can navigate wiht Volume button
u can open the recovey so u dont need to worry
firstly do a complete wipe of all user and system data
if u are on plilz recovery there is a option to do so in the wipe data factory reset option called "clean to install a new rom" do it
thenif u have a official jb 4.1.2 firmware flash it via odin if u want to go back to stock or there are many kk roms and customized 4.1.2 roms available here do a research and flash whatever u like

You currently have the stock recovery, not Philz.
Go into your current recovery and go to factory reset/data wipe (use the volume up and down keys), to select it use the power button. Once you have factory reseted your device, reboot.
If that doesn't fix it then do the following:
Download any recent Philz Kernel for JB from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Copy that to your external sd card (go into recovery and connect your Note to your PC or if that doesn't work, do it through a different phone or an microsd card reader). Flash that file in the stock recovery, reboot to recovery again. Once you have philz, perform a full wipe (you should have that option in factory reset/data wipe otherwise wipe /system /preload /data). Once that is done, reflash with Odin and then again: go to the stock recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot, now it should be working.

Okay, the fact you can go to download mode and CWM is excellent. The factory reset and wiping wont fix as their isn't an OS there due to it not installing properly. Just download another ROM to your SD as your current one appears to have an error and flash through CWM.
If that fails use odin and download mode to flash stock ROM on to your phone for a usable device

To be honest its pretty much a generic tutorial for all, just download the KitKat ROM for your phone allong with its Gapps.
Now download the CWM verson for your phone and flash it like before
Once flashed boot your phone up to make sure it works, then copy the ROM and Gapps across. Now boot back into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then select the wipe data/factory reset option and the wipe cache options. Then flash the ROM and Gapps and your phone should have Kitkat
