Flashing CM9 From Stock i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
After using CM9 for some time, I decided to upgrade to the new stable release. I am not sure what happened, but the flash was unsuccessful. Using ODIN I restored my phone back to stock.
When I try to install CM9 I now end up in a recovery loop, where the phone will only boot into recovery.
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?
Many thanks
Harry

Do you install cm9 through cwm recovery?

Yes I did, using the CWM that comes with the speedmod kernel. The CWM that the phone boots to after this, however, is an updated one, I assume the one that comes with CM9. From here I have tried reflashing CM9 but still have the recovery bootloop
Harry

Hey
Is your phone rooted??
and try flashing the rom twice..

Hi
It has Cwm but I didn't root before flashing. Thought it didn't make a difference?
I have tried flashing twice, still has me booting into recovery

For installing CM9 your phones needs to be on 2.3.6 and rooted...click here for my guide...

After I follow your guide will I have cwm and do i then just flash as usual?
Harry

Yup..
After rooting 2.3.6 you can follow the regular steps for CM9...

Ok I have upgraded, then when I try to flash CM9 it starts the process then quickly enters a bootloop where I get to the cyanogenmod kernel screen. I know I need to flash twice but I cannot see how to do so?
Thanks
Harry

Hey
Remove the battery...put it back after atleast 10 sec..then boot into recovery using 3 Button Combo...then flash the rom again...
This time it'll take a few min..then it'll re-boot itself..
Enjoy..

Got it all working perfectly now, thank you so much

[Q] Please help! My note keeps rebooting after i flashed Rocket Ics Rom v1.

I am very new to rooting and all the stuffs. However i decided to root my phone following a youtube video tutorial made by this guy called Ashwin on XDA. I followed all the instructions carefully and rooting was successful. Then i proceeded to install CWM recovery following another youtube tutorial made by the same guy and it was successfully installed. Afterwards i flashed RocketIcs rom v1 using the CWM recovery mode and it says the installation was successful...
however, after the installation i realized that my note would keep rebooting and rebooting after 30 secs or so. i am really scared now because i am really a noob in this field and i am at a lost what to do. I will really appreciate if anyone can help ;(

i think i did. in the tutorial video i followed, i downloaded the abyss kernel 4.2 as directed and flashed it with mobile odin. Then i rebooted into CWM recovery mode and flashed the rocket ics rom v1. then started the bootloop.
to give you further details, my rooted note has kernel version N7000DXLC2 before i flashed the rocket ICS rom. please help i am really thankful!
Im new here too but I think I may know what the err is.
Do you have Titanium-backup App, Clockworkmod Recovery App &/or Nandroids on your Note? If not once this thing gets fixed I recommend you do some homework so that you don't lose everything next time.
Good News is it isn't Fully Bricked (I think)... If it was bricked than it wouldn't even boot at all. Better News is... I have been doing a lot of research - So this might work. It sounds to me that you are in a Boot loop.
In that event...

1. pull out your battery, wait for 1 minute
2. put it back in, boot into stock Recovery (volume up + home + power)
3. do a factory reset and wipe cache
4. reboot

I might be mistaken but i think i had to reboot recovery to get the abyss, the red pill one and not the cwmr,

[Q] Phone only boots into CWM and can't get it to boot the ROM.

I can't get my phone to boot into the ROM, it only boots into CWM every time. Even if I restore my Nandroid backup I have it still won't boot into anything but CWM. .
Any ideas?

what rom are you trying to flash?
I was on MIUI Mintberry but then I tried flashing DMORE3.3 and it just messed up. Was not paying attention to what I was doing, stupidly enough.
But I wouldn't mind just getting back into my MIUI MB ROM and then I'll actually flash DMORE properly this time.

It was made by Nitr8, just a stripped down GB based on his insanity ROM
Very nice ROM! So, there's no chance I could now just restore to my MIUI Nandroid backup?

I really couldn't tell you, not familiar with miui, but you can always try,
I have the same issue here. I was running CM9 nightly and everything was working great for weeks. Then my android core process crashed and I decided to reboot the phone, but it got stuck and kept boot looping, i.e. not even making it to the CM9 boot animation and not allowing me to get a logcat.
I used ODIN to flash FixRecovery.tar.md5 and that allowed me to get into CWM recovery. I then cleared Dalvik cache, re-flashed CM9, rebooted but the phone always boots into CWM and never gets to the ROM. I even tried flashing Semaphore kernel in ODIN and re-flashed CM9 several times but to no avail.
My phone just keeps booting into CWM! Is there something I can do to fix this without having to restore to Gingerbread and lose all of my settings and data?

I had same problem with a galaxy s plus. I've installed the teamwin recovery and with that i flashed the broodrom. After that i got in a bootloop/recoveryloop.. The fix for that was just flashing the bootloader with odin So there was no need to reflash whole rom

[Help] Boot Loop everytime I go to recovery

here's the thing..
i'm running on v20g, i rooted it using LG extract and injected CWM, flashed it using smart flash. but everytime i go to Reboot to recovery i always end up on a boot loop.
will someone help me? is there any way to downgrade from v20g to v20o??
please help me, i'm unable to use my phone for about a week now. :crying: :crying: :crying:
try using smartflash.... works for me everytime... and also try flashing the normal cwm not the touch one... might help...

still boot loop.
Hey buddy! I have same problem with you! I noticed that when i'm on stock rooted rom i always ended into bootloop going into recovery using either rom manager or quickboot. When i'm on custom rom like marvel, zeus etc. i also ended into bootloop going into recovery but after 1 hr or more, i will turn on the phone and then it will boot into recovery. I have a hard time flashing different custom rom because of this. Its like there is a time out before entering cwm recovery. It also happened to me everytime i used smartflash tool. It takes an hour before my phone got boot. 2 weeks ago someone upload a flashable V20s spain stock rom that has capable of entering cwm recovery after flashing the stock rom and luckily i manage to save it to my computer. I flash it using smartflash tool, after flashing it will reboot and then it will stock into bootloop. I will remove the battery and wait for atleast 1 hr and then i will turn on my phone and it will automatically boot into recovery. I do data factory reset, clear cache 1st then install superuser zip and then after that i flash the custom rom. I suggest that look for a flashable stock rom that has capable of entering cwm automatically after flashing and once you got the cwm do all you want but install first the superuser zip before flashing custom rom.
EDIT:
Here's the link buddy but i don't know if its available to download.

how to go from devil recovery back to cwm

I've recently flashed the devil kernel to mess around with the JB roms. I'm wanting to go back to ICS roms while the JB roms mature. I booted into devil recovery, wipe then installed the CWM zip but says "status 0" aborted.
I've tried doing it through ROM manager but gives me errors that way also.
What am I doing wrong??

Your mistake
1) Using Rom manager
2)Devil kernel uses both cwm and twrp recovery no need to "flash recovery" anyways.
If you can still get in to recover just flash what ever ICS rom you want. I'd advice full wipe and formating /system.

Same Problem, but i tried to flash with devil recovery. First, with cm10 it says installation aborted. Second time with cm9 he rebooted after 5 sec. and now it's in a boot loop.
What can I do to flash cm9 or cm10?

CM10 and devil kernel don't always get along. Something about the partition layout with devil. Anyway when you tried CM9 and it rebooted it just means it succeeded in flashing the kernel that CM9 comes with. Pull and replace the battery and 3 button combo back into recovery which will probably not be devil anymore. I don't think you have to but I typically go through the wipe procedure again and then you should be able to reflash CM9 without trouble.

I just flashed the cm9 and it didn't work, so I flashed cm10 and it worked apart from the google apps. It says Installation aborted. I tried to install it once again but it didn't help out.
What can I do now?

Those ROMS use a different partition layout. You have to flash an older ROM via ODIN and then you'll be able to go back.

[Q] Please help, need to flash kernel I think

Hi
I'm having a few problems with my trusty Galaxy S.
I tried to update to Cyanogen 10, got it installed through Clockwork mod no probs. I had a few problems with it , thought I'd try 9 as my friend gets on great with that.
It hasn't successfully flashed though. It's stuck in a loop where it enters Clockwork, then crashes back to the loading screen. I haven't done much of this for ages so guess I got careless and made an error somewhere.
I assume I need to flash through Odin now as I can still get to download mode, but not recovery. I don't know which kernel to get and use though? no idea what will work and don't want to brick my phone. I'd just like a working kernel that so I can put Cyanogen on again. Any advice is appreciated thanks.

Thanks that worked just fine. Nearly bricked the phone using someone's restore to stock guide. But now this kernel has installed fine.
Unfortunately I am trying to flash cm10, it installs fine, but it just loads back up into recovery mode, and wont boot properly.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get out of this CWM recovery boot-loop I'm stuck in?
The Semaphore Kernel is just stuck for me.
