If you follow the step describe by jainsavan it should work. If not cheked if the rom you have download is for ace and if they are not an error on the .zip file (just use the function test of winrar for now it) it could happen, if they are an error just re-download the rom. For me it happen when i transfer the .zip file in my sdcard so try to checked the .zip file in your sd card if there are not an error
Hope i Help you (sorry for my bad english )

go to download mod if..
if you can go to recovery mod just do what jainsavan say, if you can't go to sammobile.com and download rom for ace and flash it via odin by going to download mod

[Q] CyanogenMod and Galaxy Mini

I flashed official latest firmware(2.3.6) on Galaxy Mini using Odin. Then I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery(blue fonts). Everything worked. Then I tried to install CyanogenMod 7.1(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167750). After CWM showing "complete", I restarted phone. It showed me start logos(Samsung, Samsung Galaxy mini etc.), then stopped on this screen:
I can access recovery and download mode, so I tried wiping data/cache and formatting /system and flashing zip again. Nothing helped. I flashed official firmware again, then tried second ClockworkMod Recovery I found(orange fonts this time). Again, it showed "complete", but after restart I had the same screen. What I have to do to make it work? Could someone give me link to working CWM for Galaxy Mini or describe the procedure?
try to help!
ok first of all you should use the cm7.2rc4 rom cause it has less bugs in cm7.1
gps and other things not working and you have to flash many fix.zips to get everything work!! i give you download to cwm4 recovery whitch works
great on mini!
qick introduction:
1.Flash stock firmware (odin) i have used 2.3.5
2.Flash cmw4 (odin)
3.make sure that both running
4.wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvic cache (cwm4)
5.format cache (cwm4)
6.install zip from sd
7.if its done again wipe data/wipe cache
8.reboot system
i have flashed my mini about 20times with this method and never got any stuck
at boot! first time boot will take a bit longer but not longer than 5-10min, my mini takes about 2-5min for first time boot after flashing custom rom!! hope
it help and you to get it running!! try also emanoNv4 with the same method
its a nother realy great custom rom for galaxy mini!

i have the probleme,I wait 10 min a then my mini turn on
I think you just have to wait!!
Thank you all. It looks like I just didn't wait long enough. I have one more question: is this screen with crookedly placed "A N D R O I D" text that I attached in first post normal boot screen or what?

I think it is only just normal waiting screen
yes its the normal boot screen for cm7 so need not to worry
Well i would like to tell you that this is the boot screen for cyanogenmod 7 and 9 too...

I had the same problem when I did it the first time.
Make sure you Clear data and cache before installing the zip. Then clear again after installing the zip.
If that doesn't work, which it didn't also for me sometimes. When stuck on screen, get the battery out. Make it boot normally and it will continue. This method always works for me.
Hope it helps.
By the way, i've read that the first time CNM loads it may take some minutes.

Well i would like to tell you that the cwm recovery 5(blue font) is having a few bugs but the cwm recovery 4(orange font) works perfectly so i prefer that and i got success in flashing cyanogenmod 7.

[Q] Problem with S'periance ROM by the grreat SnowPluralism

I used the Spetember 17's version initially and am very pleased with it. Overall, a very good ROM. However, out came the latest update (update) and I started having problems with the ROM after flashing it. At the very beginning, after I started to flash the add-ons, my Ace will occasionally stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Ace part during boot and remains like that even after 15 minutes. So, I pulled out the battery and reboot but the same thing happened. I tried reflashing the ROM again but this time, I did not flash any of the add-ons. Sadly, after 2 reboots, it stuch at the same place again... Advice from pros please? :'( I really like this ROM
hey there bro here is an inportant thing about my rom an sd-ext is required ... without this ... the phone wont boot cause it will be faulty mounting points
But here is a piece of advice
before installing go to mounts and
Format system
Format Cache
Format Data!!!!
Format SD-Ext
And Then Flash The Zip
Do This and you'll be just fine

Thanks mate. The ROM for time being is still working like a charm so hopefully it stays that way By the way, about the Modded TW3 to TWUX launcher, I can't flash it cause whenever I flash it through CWM, I will be unable to use the touch screen of my Ace, The other buttons(Volume, Back, Menu...) still functioning but no effect if I use finger to touch the screen. Any advice please?

Thanks for the prompt respond mate
As for the FCs.. I guess I'll have to keep reflashing till I get it right :'(
Hey, Snow. I did a reflash, follow by flashing these add-ons: SIII Toggles, Nexus Boot Sound and Enable Crt-OFF. After that I didn't install Link2SD straight install other apps and surprisingly, my Ace shows no sign of FCs(Except when screen capture) or stuck at boot. So far everything's fine Did a couple of reboots still no problem. Once again hopefully it stays that way^^

hi Great SnowPluralism, your ROM look awesome!!!!
i am going to flash my SGA using your ROM, before that, i had few question to clarify on before and after flash.
i am from Asia - Malaysia, currently using Asia Stock ROM S5830DXKPB with CWM.
few question here,
1) do i need to flash it to 2.3.6 XWKTM before flash your ROM ?
2) since your ROM is base on a Euro ROM, will it cause any problem to use in Asia region, e.g. 3G, GPS, call ..... ?
3) do i need to format my sd card to ext4 before flash your rom? if yes, i got a 8G SD card, format whole SD or partition some of it ?
4) internal memory is a big issue for SGA, with your room, all app will auto install in SD card ?or any step to move it to SD card?
5) i had DioPen keyboard (to type chinese) in Asia Stock ROM. i know this keyboard not include in most(maybe all) Euro ROM, can we add in manually ?
6) any tool to backup my data before flash your ROM ? i need to backup at least my sms and contact in my phone and restore back after flash your ROM.
thanks SnowPluralism to build up this ROM, hope you can kill my worries by answer my question, and make your ROM better and better!!
problem fixed..my mistakes..DO NOT INSTALL LINK2SD.......
your ROM awesome!!!:laugh:
Snow, I tried flashing the ScreenCaptureFix zip file provided by Cryss in the main post but my Screen Capture still FC. Any idea?
Nevermind thatXD Found a way to get Screen Capture working. Instead of flashing the zip file. I extracted the .apk inside, send it to my Ace and paste it inside system/app. Change the permission and after a reboot. Walaaa

[Q] Can't restart after installing Cyanogenmod 10

Hello everyone,
I downloaded CM10 alpha 5 from ivendor and put it on my internal sd card.
In the post it said flash the update.zip and gapps.zip files, but I only had the whole cm10 zip file.
I installed that but it didn't work and now I'm stuck in the clockworkmod.
I think I didn't read well enough, so can you tell me what I did wrong?
I guess I should try another ROM, but is it even possible to put one on your sd card when the phone doesn't start?
Thanks alot,
Bob
You made a backup before you flashed it?
If you did, restore it and reboot your phone, i think you did something wrong, if you downloaded the good file you just flash update it and it will reboot normally, be sure its a .Zip file
Sent From My Rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 JB 4.1.2 (GT-I9100)
So for some reason, some phones naturally bootloop in recovery when trying to install CM10.
Did it say installing, then stop, reboot and bootloop in recovery?
If it did, DO NOT PANIC. Everything is fine. Sometimes the phone needs to do that to install an updated recovery. If that did happen, just take out the battery and reinsert it, reboot into recovery. Flash the same CM10 again, then Gapps.
But just as a failsafe, if you want to flash back to 2.3.6 (I'm sorry, I don't know what it is for the I9001) through odin with dbsdata.rfs (due to data partition differences between stock and CM10). Just in case you want to start completely over.

hi it say to flash the "update.zip", do u think u should of flashed the cm10 file u downloaded instead?
i am only new to experimenting with my phone myself and nearly made that mistake. have u got any further with this problem anyway?
you Just have to do a wipe factory / flash upgrade.zip / flash gapps / reboot
if you do a wipe factory, you will lose your data. but this is a safe method to move from a old rom to a new one

[Q] from rooted version 2.2 to rooted version 4.0 or more?

Hi,
I was redirected to this part of the forum. A friend of mine rooted my samsung mobile Galaxy S I9000 with a android 2.2 version. I cannot contact him anymore to help me with the update and I am really a newbie in this rooting world. So, I am coming on this forum to have some advice. I read information on rooting your device, in which everything is explained very well, but could not find information on how to update once a device was rooted (probably I did not search in the right place). What I did so far is:
1) Taking backup of my pics (by manually drag and drop the folder on my pc), SMS and call logs (with sms backup + app), syncronized my contacts with gmail so that I can recover them later on and backup the music folder. I installed backup Titanium to back up my apps on my SD card.
But now, I am stuck with some questions (could you guide me where to find the information?):
1) Which most recent version of Android is supported on the device I have? Which version will work best?
2) Is there important information that I forgot to back up? + I have a problem with the backup Titanium app. It could reach my root in the beginning, but then the Superuser app updated the binary and from then on my titanium app got stuck when getting access to the root. Any idea how to solve this? Install an older version of the bin.file? How to do that exactly? thanks! => I could fix this problem by installing an older version of superuser in CW recovery. If others have problems with this issue, I can provide help from now on
3) Is there a guide with step by step procedure on which files I have to download on my pc and which procedure to follow? Or could you advice me some useful links?
thanks!
1) there is android 4.2.2 available for this amazing device
2) you propably forgot to backup efs folder
3)
- 1) follow this guide to get android 2.3.6 to your device: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
- 2) follow this guide to get android 4.2.2 (cm 10.1) to your device after: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
- 3) now you can flash most of the roms you find in i9000 android development forum. i personally use slimrom
copy /efs! backup ur imei n md5 in efs first! copy da whole efs file! or do nandroid backup.
READ N FOLLOW CAREFULLY here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
considering u already done flashing Sammy n CF
prepare for ROM & kernel(optional) hunt! go to dev section and choose which JB u wanted.download it together with cm9.1.0 n copy to root of internal sd.
n make sure to flash cm9.1.0 stable from cyanogenmod website (galaxymtd) first from 2.3.6, first flash will bootloop, go back to recovery with 3 combo button. flash again n dont leave recovery.
after done flashing twice (if flash ended too quick, then flash again). direct flash 4.1/4.2 chosen rom, twice (first flash will come up with error, juz ignore it flash again (bootloop) recovery again n flash again

I followed the guide you mentioned here:

in which they install that JVU ROM... then they say at the end that you have to unmount SD card (but that option was gray in my case) and wipe the USB storage and then reboot in recovery and do those 4 wipes, what I did, and then he mentioned that you could install your custom ROM, so I put the version of slimrom 4.2.2 on my sd card and launched it for installation.
However, the procedure started, but after a few seconds already my phone rebooted and now it is stuck at the logo of Semaphore...
What did I wrong? And what should I do?

Should I shut down my phone and try to put it in download mode again to put the JVU rom on it again via odin? is that the best strategy? Or should I do something else? and if that would work, what is then the best procedure to avoid such situations again?
nope, u did rite, but also wrong, ok, read carefully here....
flashing for upgrade is easy if u follow carefully, when in GB, after flashing CF ROOT, flashing to 4.0 (cm9) first (take da zip from cyanogenmod website) but luckily ur on 2.3.6 JVU (if u follow da link i gave), so it will be safe (safe procedure will be GB-ICS-JB), first flash will bootloop, second flash (sometimes) will occur error n third flash will succeed, which means u hav to flash twice or thrice or maybe 4 times! if its bootloop, go to recovery back by 3 button combo (its da matter of when u release da combo button, release it rite after u see da first white bootsplash)
bootloop cause by changing da partition tp ext4, its common
but if u already try to reach recovery n failed most times, u need to flash back firmware n cf root.

Ok, thanks!!!! this worked!!! I justed flashed cm9 and it works. So, if I understand well now, I can just return in recovery mode and install from zip from sd card to cm10 and then for instance to slimrom? Or between 'two' flashes, I need to follow the last part of the procedure in the link you gave me? So:
"Now, what I do now is go into :
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone
Window should open up showing your phone Directory..
Copy over your ROM that you want
Shut Down Phone
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Go to Advanced > OK
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Go Back > OK
To move Up or Down > Use the Left Side Volume Rocker Switches with Menu to OK Action
Install your Custom ROM from Zip Card that you want..."
OR: can I just go to recovery mode and do install from zip without doing that procedure with "wipe" etc?
Just to know, as I am just a newbie in these things!!! But I want to thank you once again for the clear explanations and the good help!!!!
juz flash mate , its easy, da important thing is to follow da sequence, thats all, juz flash, wiping cache or resetting juz for changing ROM. not upgrading
juz FLASH it
GB-ICS (twice)(do not leave recovery after second flash)-(any custom JB ROM u choose(twice or thrice))(make sure u already put da zip file in internalsd). dont need any wiping.
but FLASH AT UR OWN RISK,remember that.
n yes, recovery need hardbutton except TWRP recovery.

Thanks!!!! Just one small question. I just flashed CM10 in recovery mode and first flash gave error, second went well. Then while still being in recovery mode I directly flashed slimrom and that went well from the first time. Do you always flash a second time to make sure that things went well or this is ok then?

as i already said, flash more than 2 times when upgrading, juz upgrading process. GB-ICS-JB (CM7-CM9-CM10/10.1) is upgrading process.
changing ROM not necessarily need double flashing, but u can do it if ur not satisfy whether da ROM already flashed or not

ok, thanks!!! no, everything is working fine with this slimrom, except for google play that does not seem to open once I install it. It opens and closes directly... but I guess there are persons that had the same problem. will have to check the forum for a solution

Hmmm, is probably because I get this error when starting slimrom: invalid IMEI number...I flashed it a second time, but it gave me the same error...
Which gapps have you flashed? Slimbean needs a special package, you find it under slimroms.net.

I will have a look there for that google play problem.
More problematic is that problem of IMEI. When I flashed from CM 9 to CM10 I did not do that wipe of cache and data as suggested above (the reply came later on), and then I flashed slimrom. That I forgot to wipe between CM9 and CM10, can that be the cause of wrong IMEI now? Is the solution now, to wipe cache and data, to flash again CM 10 and to flash then slimrom again?
Or should I just leave everything like that and do a recovery of my efs folder? If yes, any link for this?

[Q] P7320 trouble

Hi
I have a p7320 which I am trying to install a custom ROM to, and I am having some trouble.
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122
1: flashed cwd through odin
2: flashed superuser through cwm
All fine until now
3: then I flashed the kernel from the same site through cwm
4: bootloop
I didnt take backup, so I couldnt nandroid back
I couldnt turn the device on, so I couldnt transfer another kernel
There were no "mount USB" in cwm so I couldnt transfer the files there either.
I was able to go into download mode, and I flashed the only stock rom I could find in .tar (flashable through odin)
from here: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/12/12/u-s-att-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-sgh-i957-android-4-0-4-ice-cream-sandwich-update-finally-arrives/
flashing went fine and the tab booted.
Now I went back and flashed cwm again through odin, but when I was going to place superuser and the new rom on the sdcard.... there is no room on the tab.
In explorer it says : 0 byte available out of 26.9MB
This tab is 16GB.... what happened?
I cant transfer files to it, so the only thing I can flash is the .tar files through odin.
please help

Hmmm, this is usually a sdcard mount thing
so maybe all you have to do is reboot to CWM do a format /sdcard from mount and unmount section in CWM
then reboot to system and see if the problem still there

Hi
There is no such thing as format/sdcard in that section.
Only format/cache, format/data and format/system

this probably means that your CWM version is old [5.5.0.4 I guess]
I don't know if your tab has a newer CWM cuz my tab is p7300,
so try to find a newer one or even try TWRP instead, cuz it also has sdcard format function
one little thing, you said your tab is P7320 and yet you have installed a SGH-I957 ROM {read it from your link}
I honestly don't know the deference between the two devices
what I'm trying to say is: maybe the problem is because you're using a ROM for a different device
so maybe you should try THIS [the latest ICS Odin tar samsung framework for P7320]
I have a p7320 and I am using this ROM.

Fast, no bloatware, no freezing.
I followed the instructions no problems. My recovery UI has an option partition SD card under advanced. Dont know if that will help you.

Hi
I was able to download another .tar full stock rom which I flashed with odin.
Worked out fine, and the memory of the SD card is back.
However... I once again flashed cwm and superuser, then i tried the rom you are linking to but the tab wont boot with it
Its just stuck with a black screen after the logo.
Now I have reflashed the stock rom with working sd card
Sorry about that. I remember I had a black screen for a few minutes but eventually it booted. The developer also pointed out boot animations are missing

Hi,
I'm the developer working on the CM10 ROM for the P7320 - yes, the first boot might take a while, and it doesn't show a boot animation, so it might look like it's crashed. But I have tested going from the stock ICS image to my ROM a few times and it seems to work fine, eventually. Perhaps you could give it another go and see?
Cheers.

Hi
I will definetely give it another go this evening
Can i flash superuser, your rom and gapps in one go? Or do I have to boot it in between?
thank you for your answer
The ROM should have super user already, so you shouldn't need that. You can do the ROM and gapps together.
I tried again, and this time it worked like a charm!
Thank you!

What am I doing wrong. My device starts to cyanogenmod boot animation but not further.
Do I have to do the dalvik wipe and cache wipe?
I think i have tried everything. It's been rolling boot animation about 30 minutes now.
Sorry about my bad language.
And thank you for your answers.
I dont have a solution. Is this the first time you use this ROM? One time I wanted to revert to stock to check something and I got an everlasting Samsung animation until I did a factory reset from recovery. Did you try factory reset?
