Bootloop going from 2.3.6 to 4 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Galaxy S i9000. Was using Android 2.3.6 Darky's Rom v. 9.5 Extreme Edition.
Downloaded ics_4.0.3_mr1_rc4.2_i9000.zip and went directly into Recovery mode and chose the install from zip option. Then, color changed to blue, and I cleared cache and did factory reset.
Now in boot loop, phone keeps going to recovery whenever I reboot..its currently CVM v. 5.5.0.4 with light blue text.
Pls help

Reinstall zip its because ICS changes the partitions and reboots half way through

Also I reccomend going to tiramislim or another 4.0.4 ROM as they are more stable and don't suffer the android battery bug

Did u checked following link?:

Had the same problem with my i9001 when i went to ICS, solved the problem with the guide in the wiki article.

Latrop, I tried re-installing again and again, didnt work.
Kuliano, surely there must be a simpler solution?
Can I know what's actually causing the bootloop?
Thanks

I had only to reflash the bootloader with odin. Perhaps there is a similar solution for the i9000. I will look for it when im bavk from work..

In my country ,we will upgrate to ics via cm7.
it's mean
1.you must flash cm7 first , if worked and into desktop(you should wait 3min untill OS worked finished).
2.reboot to recovery
3. 3wipe
4. install ics zip
I think it will solve your problem.
try it, I am done today..

I try to install but don't work... after that i flash it, the phone lock to logo screen "google" and i can't go to CWM i must use odin to reflash. If install rc3.1 it's all ok.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
Did you try looking at the help page on the thread in the development section? It's right before the post is finished, there will be a link that will lead you there.
Hope that helps, if not I can try to just copy and paste the instructions hahaha

yes... i try to flash a miui rom first also.
I try to do a full wipe... i try to install a original rom... but when i flash rc4.1 the phone stuck to logo.
Ensure you have backed up your EFS directory; if you don't know how ask.
To be honest, there appears to be some inconsistency in the reliability of the 4.1 RC release (across handsets); I have had persistent WIFI issues and then when the wifi fix was released I found the phone to just be a little laggy.
My advice if RC 3.1 works well for you is to keep it on there for now and wait for the next release they make.
However, if you still wish to flash it, there is no 100% working way - just keep factory reset, dalvik wipe, cache wipe, reset until it starts working! That's what I did as the original instructions did not work for me.

I agree with you... RC3 was fine for me... fast and all worked... RC4 has some wifi issues... It switch on/off and doesnt stop till i reboot the phone... im thinking about to downgrade to RC3.1 and wait till the next release...

If i flash 2 time the rom the phone stuck it and i can't enter in cmw
.. is the only rom that give me this problem... bha...
Hello, have you tried to download the rom again? Maybe it's a bad download..
That's odd, for me i got stats 7 but was because i was flashing the I9000B version and my phone was with the CWM for I9000. Try using odin and flash a sotck rom, after that install the CWM and then the RC4.1.
If anyone want to know the procedure that i do to install the RC4.1 is this:
Starting for CM7 --> flash the ARO 2.3.3 rom to re-write the bootloader (check this option in odin) --> flash the ZTO 2.2 rom to re-partition in original size partitions --> flash the 2.2.1 ARO because it's a nice rom and don't have all the trash that is present in ZTO version --> through kies flahs the ARO 2.3.3 original.
After that the procedure to install the RC4.1 is the standard: flash CWM then install the ROM.
I had problems going from 3.1 to 4.1. Same issue as OP.
Process I followed:
-Flashed CWM through heimdall
-Flashed devil kernel
-Flashed CM7 (had to do this twice in a row)
-Flashed ICSSGS 3.1
-Flashed 4.1 but before I rebooted my phone, I flashed Devil one last time.
Since then, phone has been rocking along just fine!

Yes... three times.
I'm having the same problem here.
I tried the first point on the Common Issues page but I'm still not able to go into CWM!
I flashed the Speemod Kernel using heimdll but I can't go back to CM7. I'm getting a Stat 7 error.
Also tried the Devils kernel (Devil_1.0_CFS) with no help ....
Any ideas?
Just wondering...

why on earth did you flash the CM7 as a part of the process? I always have just downloaded an appropriate kernel (devil, stockplus etc..) + ICS ROM (latest was RC4.1), once I'd rooted my stock 2.3.6 ROM with CF-Root (takes only 5 minutes). ICSSGS' ROMs can be applied straight on top of any previous ROM, the only requirement is that you have root privileges + CWM installed. Flashing CM7 is often frustrating, at least for me. I personally see no point in flashing it before the ICS ROM. If you know better, pleasy enlighten me

SGS wont boot ICS

My SGS was confiscated at school about 2 months ago by the school adminstration because bringing phones to schools wasn't allowed. I had removed the battery and SIM when it was confiscated. By then it was running on Onecosmic's ICS 4.0.3 RC3.1 ROM. It was working perfectly with a custom boot animation. Today I got my SGS back and it wont fully boot. When I turn it on I can see the Galaxy S GT-I9000 text plus the 'WITH OUR POWERS COMBINED WE ARE...PLATYPUS KERNEL' logo but it stays black after this. The menu and back button light up on touch but there is no response or activity on the screen. I have tried almost everything from
wiping every data to re-rooting it, blah...blah. I installed 2.3.5 and it works, 2.3.6 ValuePack works too and even CM7 works fine. But it won't accept ICS. Any idea why, please help?
PS: I can enter both recovery mode and download mode.
Fully wipe, install stock firmwares in Odin and did all step to install custom ICS rom.
yup did all that. Flashed stock 2.3.5 first, then flashed 2.3.6 valuepack, then rooted it, after that installed cm7. Everything is perfect upto this. After that wiped all data plus cache, and tried installing ics onecosmics 4.0.3 rc3.1, after reboot phone stays blank after the logos. The menu and back buttons light up on touch, but no vibration no action and no response.
I did the same with success but from 2.3.6 directly and with that :
1. Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery Mode using volume buttons.
2. (optional) Backup your current ROM.
3. Select "install zip from sdcard".
4. Select "choose zip from sdcard".
5. Select the .zip that you downloaded and confirm it.
*(optional) Flash newer kernel if you want to.
6. Reboot the phone.
7. Wait for phone to boot (this may take up to ten minutes)
tried it from 2.3.6 just now, still no luck. Phone just stays blank...
Why not move to rc4.2. Also have you tried flashing twice. One after the other. Not sure why but this sometimes helps.
Also in recovery advanced menu have you cleared dalvik cache, cleared init'd and ns tools settings?

Read the bold. I've seen this in a handful of tutorials on how to flash to ICS. After you've flashed to ICS and you're stuck in a bootloop, simply go into CWM (Recovery) and reflash it. This should fix your problem.
Good luck!
thanks ya all, finally managed it n it works now. I just installed another ics rom (i dont exactly know what it is, its got a boot screen of android rocketing with the galaxy logo) and installed onecosmic's rc3.1 again n it works now.

When you get a bootloop flashing to ICS, simply flash again—as in, flash twice in a row. This is effectively what you did by trying another ROM, as they both have the same base. Keep that in mind for the future.
Have fun!

Were you rooted on the base Android ROM? Was it GB? Whatever it was, first flash a standard GB using PC ODIN and then root it and then try a new ROM. You can get stock GB ROMs here

Flash stock GingerBread rom from PC odin and root it . Else you can flash pre rooted GB roms like Checkrom, rocketrom etc etc etc from the whichever ICS rom you are currenntly on .This is how I flash Gingerbread rom from EMMC bug infected ICS rom , flash abyss kernel 3.9 and the reboot recovery into abyss kernel 3.9 and then wipe data , cache and dalvik cache and then flash CheckRom Revo HD V6 and reboot your phone.
Once your phone is successfully running GB rom with proper root and clockworkmod recovery , go to clockworkmod recovery and wipe data , cache , dalvik cache and flash paranoid android directly ( dont flash abyss kernel or any other kernel , GB rom with CF root kernel or whichever kernel the pre-rooted GB roms like checkrom and rocketrom come with ) , and finally after flashing wipe data , cache and dalvik cache . You will boot paranoid android properly .
I dont want you to brick your phone , so explained the whole process from gingerbread rom installation

Really Thank You for your detailed Reply, But as you said I wastrying this all from STOCK GB Rom only which i rooted, But in paranoid one of senier member told me that, as i used darkside scripts and which are not made for Note, So I have screwed my partitions, and may be i will need to repartition with four filed STOCK ROM. because now the problem is even critical, when i flash, it stucks at SAmsung Note GT-N7000.
So really need to solve this issue 1st, so starting new thread now, for flashing Stock Rom with odin for repartition.

Thanx Friend,
I have flashed b4 from stock ICS kernal to Anidroid ROM, but now that is not the real problem, now i am on stock GB Rom, which i have installed via Odin, Kindly check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783625 this thread which i have just started, i hope you will understand my problem by looking to this thread, also as i am on GB kernal right now, without rooted, so still i dont need to afraid of EMMC brick bug (I assume it is problem with stock ICS kernals.).
And I had screwed my galaxy bote and had hard bricked my phone , it was gone mate , my phone had almost seem its last days , but i did save it and gave it a new life . Well here is what happened ( again in detail ) - I was KingDroid V2 rom , even when i knew all the ics roms at that time had emmc brick bug , I was fool enough to do a data wipe :crying: , and **** !!!! my phone did boot any rom , i was not even able to flash any rom , not even stock unrooted samsung roms via pc odin . I couldnt even get my phone into recovery mode !!!!!! The only thing that was working on my phone was the download mode !! Thank god !!!!:fingers-crossed: . I tried to re-partition using the original 16GB pit file( as i have 16GB Galaxy note N7000 ) but it was in vain. And then I read some post in XDA developers which mentioned how to RE-ARRANGE the partition.
[ Well I think you don't know what happens when you do a data wipe with emmc bug infected kernel ???? Right ? well here goes an explaination fro that , (i love explaining things to others :cyclops In simple words when you do a data wipe on an EMMC bug infected kernel a part of your internal SD card gets infected , I mean it becomes non-functional , it doesn't respond to read /write commands issued over that sector of internal SD ]
so out of my 16GB internal memory , memory sectors from 1049MB to 2200MB had got corrupted( found it by trial and error method ) , i couldn't use them anymore , so using the adb from the android platform tools , I edited the partitions and shifted the partition corresponding to 1049 MB to 2200MB, and then flashed abyss note kernel and then checkrom revo HD :fingers-crossed: . Viola my phone booted , I had got over the hard brick , but my internal storage had reduced to 10 Gb instead of 11 Gb due to unresponsive sectors in internal memory !!!
Next i did a reset of the flash counter and removed the yellow triangle and flashed the stock gingerbread rom (Indian version , where I am from ) via pc odin and it got stucj at FactoryFS stage , as expected !!!! . Next I handed it to Samsung service center and just told them that i was trying to update to ICS via kies and it got stuck . After few days they replaced my phone's motherboard for free :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
My friend i think your prob started while flashing paranoid rom u said that after flashing rom u made a full wipe... so i think u lost your root... just an idea
İf u can find a prerooted gb rom or u can root your gb rom u can flash paranoid rom

You should use a wipe stock ROM when flashing through Odin.
Since struck at logo, battery may be ok, nevertheless as a blind shot, why don't you try with another battery.

after installing the ICS rom, install a safe kernel and do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik.
dont you have any nandroid backups?
i have this problem b4
try flash safe kernel (example hydracore), reboot
then go to download mode flash any type of ROM

having the same issue right now.. i rooted my stock rom, and used speedmod 15 version. This morning the screen started flickering and occasional power offs. Then the battery reading was incorrect - first 60%, then it went to 65%. After a restart it went to 12% after which I just recharged the phone as usual. No problems until this evening again it went bad and couldn't restart. I can however restart in CWM recovery and luckily have a NAND backup and Titanium backup of everything that is important to me.
I also managed to recover the /sdcard partition with adb pull command. Right now the phone will not boot past the startup animation. I already tried CM 10.1 31.12 nightly and also 9.1 stable, and have the exact same issue.
Anyone know how to fix this except for wiping? Because I already wiped everything while trying the CM builds.
First check if the battery is good. Also try a different battery.
Also this time installing the rom, try in cwm, mounts & storage, format/system, format/data, format/cache and then flash the rom

just a quick update, I ran in recovery mode and did an fsck on the 9 and 10 partitions, i got a lot errors that got "fixed" by fsck. After that I just reflashed the CM10.1 nightly and it made it past the boot screen. Not for long though. After restarting it didn't get past the boot screen again.
I gave up yesterday night and just started downloading the latest official GB. This morning I flashed it with odin and it kind of worked, until i got force closes in the wifi settings step of the setup wizard.
Now it boots into android but doesn't get past the wizard screen. I will try flashing the GB rom once more through odin, maybe that fixes some things.
any other suggestions? If it is the battery, would it make any difference if it was plugged into the wall charger while starting the phone?
---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------
another update: I did a factory reset on the GB rom and am using it while connected to the wall charger. It seems to be working OK like this. So I guess I need to find a battery and try to restore my apps and settings
Another update, I ordered a brand new genuine battery and now it seems to work stable again. I just used it as a mp3 player and to surf for a few hours and no instability issues anymore, boots up perfectly.
Original battery was dated november 2011. The new one (also genuine samsung) is from october 2012 I believe.

I'm using this Mardon's ROM -> [ROM][CM10.2] - modded - [stable-20140126]
links's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442024
I've got an issue with camera - I reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset, format/system, install ROM, install hotfix, reboot - just like in instruction. And when I try to record video with camera app (Gallery2.apk)- on high quality compression I see just grey colour screen and on lower qualities, there is a green colour,stripes, sound only.
I've seen that video recording should be working already couple of versions ago, so what am I doing wrong?
I'm using CWM 6.0.4.7, but before I was trying that on CWM 5 with the same result. Please help.

I would suggest you to flash this rom and hotfix again from CWM 5. It could be CWM 6 causing the problem as CWM 6 is still not stable. I know you have already done this, but as I have gone through the Mardon's thread, no one else had such a problem when flashed through CWM 5. Also there is a new stable release. Before flashing, do Wipe Data/Factory reset, Wipe Cache partitions, Mount & Storage>Format system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Do post your result. Hope I Helped

Since there are changes in the API's from CM 10 to CM 11, I don't know if the Camera app from CM 11 will work on CM 10. But it's still worth a try
Will try out!

At first - thanks for reply. I'm going to try it out and post my experience here. The only problem for me is time.
What version of CWM 5 do you advice to me? It is necessary to flash stock rom via Odin, root again and then flash new CWM via Odin, is it?

Your only option is to flash the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin,
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
Once installed, go to recoverymod and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. As for rooting and installing CWM 5, goto stock recoveymod, choose "apply update from sdcard", then choose the root package first. Perform similar steps to install CWM 5 too and then choose "Reboot system now". Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,

Dear friends,
Mr. Mardon released new stable CM 10.2 with included hotfix! I tried that with CWM 6 and... still same ****.
Then I did it your way - flashed stock ROM, root, install CWM 5.0.2.6, installed new stable release (in Submit bug section there was my post marked as ''resolved'') and - NOTHING!
The only change is that on ''extreme'' quality compression, I get same green stripes as on other qualities instead of just grey screen. One guy there (at least one - one who posted that too) has the same problem. It's really frustrating for me...
At this moment I have CM 7.2 adrenalin ROM in device and... thinking about future :laugh:
What you mean, guys?

I'm sorry to hear that it's not working. Since there is no change even after flashing through CWM 5.0.2.6, this must be a rom related problem. Since you already have 10 posts, now you can directly post this question in the corresponding rom thread so that the owner @Mardon can reply it. Please post the solution here nonetheless so that if anyone encounter the same problem, they will know what to do. Hope I Helped
