[Q] Help With Custom Rom installation.

Hi there,
Since gingerbread with most probably be the last update for SGS i would like to install a custom mod.
Now i have been trying to do this (darky 10 RC4) for the past 2 days.
I followed Darky's instructions then i had a problem with the CWM only accepting "edified" script.
So i downloaded rom manger and tried to downgrade ta 2.5 but as soon as i tap on the 2.5 it immediately comes up with an error, "an error occured while flashing your recovery."
this is done on a 2.3.3 JVB SGS with CWM 3 installed (orange text).
Are there alternate routes? maybe downgrading to android 2.2 installing an older version of darky and than upgrading the darky rom?
any help is much appreciated.
thanks

Download the rom CWM-zip and put it in your internal sdcard.
Download some froyo-kernel (yes, froyo) with CWM 2.5. Speedmod for example. Then flash it with Odin repartition and auto-reboot unticked. When the flashing process is completed, pull the battery and then boot to recovery (3 button combo). Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.

thanks, i wil try that.
Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.

Sorry. With CWM-zip I meant the Darky's Rom.zip, which can be flashed through CWM.

it didnt work, u just gave up.
hopefully some new rom update that is edified will show up in a couple of months

Install supercurio hacked kernel, it has recovery 2.5 instead of 3.0.0.5. From there you should be able to install darky's rom. If the new version of his kernel is recovery 3, tell me i'll send the old one just for the purpose.

Hi,
ok last attempt
i flashed ( odin PDA, no pit and no repartition) with this link:
Kernel Download:
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975349
while i was on
PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
rooted with root CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS
and lag fixed with CF-Root-ext4-v1.2
and it forking worked red text 2.5 THANKS A BUNCH!
edit just a problema. it is only booting in CWM.
reattempting this without the lag fix.
2nd attempt with PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
and without lag fix not rooting.
phone stuck looping at booting with strange sound on each boot loop
3rd attempt with rooting, but no lagfix

If you are only rebooting in recovery, did you flash the new kernel, then reboot recovery ? if yes, the easy way to get out, is to reboot in download then reflash the wanted kernel (Since your rom is installed, you can install any kernel (GB of course)) then, it will reboot in recovery again and just reboot system now. This should fix your problem.
edit : Dont forget to get CF-root 3.1 for JVB and not JVK.

ok, i couldnt do that before because i had deleted the rom form the internal SD.
and also thanks for pointing out that i had the wrong root (i worked by you never know if it could case problems)

ok so
PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
root CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS
lagfix CF-Root-ext4-v1.2-Addon
and

and the zip is in progress.
ps it wasnt stuck the previous time, i was pressing the middle key as the selection while i should have been pressing the power button.
thanks for your help very much appreciated.
if i get some free time i will write at tutorial since i could not the solution.

[Q] My Note has Nightmares!!!

Hi people.
I have a question.
When my Note goes to deep sleep mode, the screen blinks back on on it's own as if it's awaking from a bad dream!
It's frustrating, how can i make it stop?

Try jbroid kernel cleaning then reflash your kernel
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

mention your ROM and KERNEL....and its funny...i mean the Title of your thread

It's true! it's waking up from deep sleep and then all day it has a foul mood. I've tried doctors, i've tried everything, you are my last hope guys!
My Rom is N7000XXLA4, kernel is:2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6=CL907341 [email protected]#2(Do i really need to write all this when people ask me what kernel i have or would a shorter version suffice?)
I am on gingerbread.
Now i just noticed a thread registering the same problem i have under the title: Deep Sleep Problem
I have the same issue.

ReFlash Kernel means you on the custom Kernel already, and if you on the stock, it's not applicable. You can just download the PC-odin 1.85 or 1.87, then flash the right official ROM for your country from the sammobile.com site, with hard reset before. OR, you can go to the custom ROM. OR, you can try just hard reset.

I am on official rom and i have just gotten the phone back from a logic board replacement.
I want to install a custom ROM and eventually go to ICS but first i have to fix those deep sleep hiccups.
I am trying to determine the best course of action.
In the following hours i am going to root my device and the reflash my rom based on this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462309
and then i am going to install CMW and titanium backup so i won't lose my apps(i really don't want to install them from the beginning.)
The rom i have will not update to ICS as it's brand new. Do you think i should wait or change ROM and get ICS?
About the kernel now, why is it important to flash the kernel other from this particular situation?
Also can you provide a few links where i can safely learn how to flash the kernel?
Thank you all in advance

Unfortunately i cannot provide the links, because i'm "new member". I'm only reading here, before today.
But, the course of action for you:
1) If you will flash the custom ROM with the custom kernel you do not need to deal with the sleep mode, because the kernel is controlling modes/clocks and ither vital parts of life of your phone. Kernel is the main part of the "soft" in your phone.
2) Remember the one most important thing: DO NOT USE wipe cache/format data, on the samsung official 4.0 - 4.03 in CWM. If you need to wipe, you need to install the Abyss kernel 3.9-4.2
How to:
You need to find PC-Odin 1.85 or 1.87, and the rooted ROM with CWM in *.tar format. Close all kies services with "task manager".
Connect your phone in download mode (home+vol. down+power and when is powerd on and asking you about flashing, vol. up), launch Odin. You will see yellow quadrant in odin. Then you need to click on "PDA", then selecting the downloaded ROM file, and do not forget the "pda" checkbox. Do not touch the other checkboxes, then Start.
Wait before it's flashed.
This is the basic guide, as i said, i cannot provide you with the links, so if you need something more - ask, i'll try to help you.
QA:
What is CWM? CWM is advanced recovery program. It's built-in in kernel. You can enter in CWM by pressing in powerd off phone home+vol.up+power.
Wht is kernel? Kernel is the core component of the phone ROM. You can flash it separate from other parts of ROM.
You can also flash separately the Modem (phone), CSC and UMS parts. Remember, some kernels do not support some ROMs, for example: If you'll flash the Cyanogen Mod, and then some Franco kernel, your phone will cannot start properly. Ofc. you can use CWM in this case.
This is scary to flash my phone? No, if you read all instructions, you can "breack it" in the only one case: you'll wipe it from the CWM builded in official samsuung 4.0 - 4.0.3 RoM.
What is "wipe/format user data"? This is the way to clear your personal data, and the other trash in your system. You need to wipe before installing new ROM.
What happens if i flash new ROM without it? Nothing, but some of your apps can work incorrect in this way.
How to flash kernel from CWM? Download the kernel in *.zip file, copy it to the SD-card, restart in CWM, install zip file. If you have *tar file, use the PC-Odin.

Your post has been most helpful
But i still have questions.
1st: What if i don't want to flash a custom ROM just yet? how can i get rid of the deep sleep hiccups without going off the official roms?
2nd: What will happen if i wipe my cache during ICS in CWM?
3rd: I recently flashed the CSC from KOR to EUR(I did it because i couldn't access Kies, and i chose EUR because it's corresponding to my country). My current ROM didn't offer DBT as an option. So if i flash it again and find an N7000XXLA4 Rom with DBT offered will i have the ICS update available through official channels?
4th: What does UMS stand for, what does it do?
Thank you in advance

Come on mate follow the instructions and flash rocket rom v6 the most stable one and enjoy it

1. You need to switch off your device, than remove the battery for ~10 sec. Then switch it on, and do not touch it before it's switched to standby, then wait about 35 minutes for deep sleep. But if it doesn't work, u can flash it with official firmware with Odin. Sammobile have all official roms. You didn'g get the yellow triangle this way.
2. You will brick your device. And loose some int. memory in advance (~4gb). Why? Because official samsung rom have an error, and it's rewriting your NAND memory again and again with full speed of your CPU and memory dying in the few seconds (about 100-200k rewrites supported).
3. What for do you need the OTA??? You can flash china, korean, even russian official roms through odin without fear. And then you can get OTA's. Custom kernels do not support OTA in any form. Just think: if you flashing custom rom, how you can get official over it?
4. Don't know ))) UMS - usb mass storage, i think, but i'm not sure in this. And i do not know what for we can use it.

Hi. I noticed I had the exact same problem yday on my note. I turn off the screen, 5 seconds later the screen turns on again (on the lockscreen), stays for 2 seconds and then turns off. Then another 20 seconds later repeat. My phone definitely was going to deep sleep (checked with CPU spy), but this "nightmare" thing was annoying. I was on RR v6 with Speedmod k3. I dunno what the reason was for this, so I just simply changed my kernel to Goku v1. The issues seems to have gone away now. I dunno what was causing it, but I am just sharing what I did to get rid of this.

I rooted my device(with CF-Root) and then flashed a kernel and then returned to my original one.
The problem is still here.
Later today i am going to try and return to a CMW friendly kernel and then flash the jBroid Kernel Cleaning Script that adamskoc mentioned in his post.
I will be posting results.
By the way even with the custom Kernel my activity from last night is summarized by this picture:
All night the phone was restless...

Yupp I've had this problem also before. The no deep sleep bug. To get rid of this follow this:
Put the phone in airplane mode.
Turn off the phone.
Take out the battery.
Wait for like a minute and put the battery back in and turn on the phone.
Wait for the phone to completely reboot and be stable (scanning usb etc).
Now turn off airplane mode.
I dunno whats the relation but I never had the no deep sleep issue after following these steps.

I did that yesterday. Didn't work.
I have just finished flashing the jBroid.
I will be keeping you posted.
/Edit: it's not working... I tried flashing a new kernel, i tried the jBroid script, i tried the airplane mode trick... Nothing. What the hell is going on here? Could this be a hardware issue? I just got my logical board replaced due a previous faulty one, could they have replaced it with a used one that might also have problems? I don't know what to make. Does that happen?
This is so screwed up...

When bootloop or no CWM occurs after flashing from GB to ICS:
1) remove battery
2) download a ICS kernel to your PC. eg. Semaphore ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21910951
3) start Odin and put .tar in PDA field. Untick repartition.
4) insert battery and go download mode.
5) connect usb to PC and flash ICS kernel.
Next boot of phone should be normal ICS.

i will try this. thanks

[Q] MaxFu_HydraCoreNirvana_n3.JBT_STD.zip

Hi All,
I'm newly registered as I have problem in using HydraCoreNirvana Kernel.
I was using ZSLPN ICS Stock ROM with PhilZ-cwm6-ZSLPN-OZS-v2.7 Kernel.
A few days ago, I booted into CWM (Power + Up + Home) to flash MaxFu_HydraCoreNirana_n3_std.zip kernel.
HydraCore Kernel is working fine except that this kernel uses a lot of battery according to the
battery monitor. I keep using it for 3 days to make sure the whole system is stable after flashing a new kernel
but it is still consuming a lot of power.
Today, I boot into CWM (Power + Up + Home) to flash back the PhilZ-cwm6-ZSLPN-OZS-v2.7.zip kernel.
After flashing, I select reboot system, the "Galaxy Note N-7000" shows up and then black screen, i.e. without
the boot animation screen. I wait for a long time but still black screen. I tried to power up serveral times but same
thing happen. I then boot into CWM (Power + Up + Home), I can see PhilZ CWM so the PhilZ kernel should be flashed.
I then use this PhilZ CWM to flash Hydra kernel again and then reboot system. It can boot up.
I then try to boot into CWM to flash PhilZ kernel again, same problem. Now I flash back to MaxFU_HydraCoreNirana Kernel.
What's wrong with my procedures? Any idea? Now, I'm afraid to flash any other kernel as I am afraid I cannot flash
back to MaxFu Kernel and that will brick my phone.
Please help. Thank you so much.
I cannot post in Max_FU kernel thread as I am new here and not allowed to post there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2053084
Thanks.

It is happening because the latest Hydracore kernels have the new Mali drivers, which are incompatible with previous kernels. So, when you first flashed Hydracore, it also installed these new drivers; when you flash PhilZ kernel back, the new drivers are still there, so the kernel can't boot up. The solution is to install a "revert" package which will install and older Hydracore kernel (without the new Mali drivers), and also delete the installed drivers. Search the Hydracore thread for "Returning back to Hydra v5.3 std.zip". This is the file you should get and flash through CWM. After that, you can flash PhilZ kernel again.

To make it easy, download and flash returning back to hydra.zip 1st. After that you can flah philz kernel.. You can go to philz tread you kernel has been updated to v3.99

Hi zai89, thank you so much for your file. I flashed it and then I can flash back to PhilZ newest version.
By the way, I have used your file (v5.3 std kernel) for a while and it consumes the power normally. I still don't
understand why the HydraCoreNirvana drains huge power in my ROM (of course I am not complaining about
HydraCoreNirvana kernel, maybe my ROM problem). Since now I can flash back to PhilZ kernel, I may try
the v5.3 standard you suggested and see how good it is.
Once again, thank you very much for your time and kindly help.

[Q] galaxy note wont be recognized by either kies or odin

i flashed to 4.2.2 this morning but i didn't like it so i decided to go back to stock jelly bean but i can't !! kies wont connect to my phone it would just keep loading and loading and never actually open the phone itself so i tried downloading the drivers manually but then odin doesn't recognize at all i tried unitsalling kies , updating , reinstalling nothing would ever work ! but y laptop recognizes the device and i can acess the files but other then this nothing
====update=====
i tried flashing with mobile odin and now it is stuck on samsung blue logo just keeps doing the animation over and over so i connected to pc and odin recgonized and flashed the rom again but then it is stuck on a boot loop and i tried wiping cache and factory data reset but wont work

What rom did you flash. Ics or JB. Install Philz kernel and do a wipe data reboot. If still no go then wipe system data cache and preload and reboot into download mode and flash stock rom again.

It didn't here. I went back from XXLT4 (rooted) to XXLT4 (stock non-root) using ODIN, and the problem was gone. Then I flashed PhilZ 4.93.6 kernel, and the problem was back. No connection, neither USB or Wifi. I was on a rooted stock kernel before, but have no idea what the problem was.
So, as soon as I root the firmware, the connectivity is gone.
Update: it's back. I have no idea why, I'm still on XXLT4 + latest PhilZ kernel.
Next problem: Where can I edit the newly added lockscreen shortcuts? Could it be that flashing PhilZ kernel removed that feature from the settings menu? I can't find it... and I've definitely seen it before I rooted.

Why do you want to flash Philz kernel..just root your phone on the stock kernel..JB stock kernel is bug free..
Go to settings--lock screen--swipe and there you have the option to change it on stock lock screen..do you have a custom lock screen??

Thanks! I used PhilZ because it came with cwm, built in root and was easily available.
Do you know how to go back to stock kernel without a full install? (and keep cwm and root). Something like a XXLT4 German / DBT kernel in a ZIP zile I can flash from recovery? I simply don't know where to find that.

Mybe SCS information is missing.*#1234# and view SCS code.

My CSC information is currently "N7000OXALT4" and nothing more. I was half expecting "DBT" behind that. Could that really be the problem?
Looks like I should go for a new nandroid backup & CSC reset?

The stock kernel is the zImage which is included in the stock rom, and can be flashed.

Thanks, I figured that out in the meantime, packed zImage into another flashable ZIP and signed it. Now I can theoretically flash it using "mobile ODIN" (to keep root) or from CWM. It's still not the perfect solution since I would definitely want CWM. So currently, I keep running PhilZ and wait for a better solution for the lockscreen icon issue.

whats the issue with lock screen? sorry for asking but after reading the thread i got confused.
