Hi, I used cm9.1 for a week but was disappointed with it's battery life, so i decided to try cm10 nightly. I did the CWM backup but after that i entered boot cycle and cannot boot to recovery now. Boot to download works fine, so what are my options now? Should i flash a stock rom and try flashing cm10 nigtly after that?
Edit: Managed to get recovery working but the recovery file itself doesn't work.
Try flashing Semaphore kernel for ICS via Odin, it may boot properly or it could get you to CWM, then you could flash a ROM... If not, download this http://d-h.st/4nP , it's pack of 3-file stock jw5 value pack, pit512, cf-root and Odin, flash it (if u know how), then just flash cm10 or cm9.1, your choice, there shouldn't be any problem
Thanks alot! Worked in the second attempt (the semaphore flashing)
I was upgrading from 9.0rc2 to 9.1 and encountered the same problem; could not get my phone into recovery mode, only download mode. Flashing Semaphore ICS 1.3.0 using Odin3 got my phone booting again without losing any data, settings or apps

Okay,
So i have searched, I was on 2.3.3 custom rom, and then i went on to flash Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC1, i flashed the kernel first and then from then on i cant go past flash screen. I tried flashing official firmware from here "I9000DXJV9_OLBJV9_DXJV9" but it wont go past flash screen. any help??? Can somebody link me to full official rom with bootloader and everything.??
register at sammobiles.com and find your firmware there, then flash it through ODIN. Then flash your KERNEL then any custom rom. If you find bootloop, you will need to flash a voodoo kernel this gives you other options in CWM to enable you to disable ALL lags. Then you should be fine. You can reflash any other kernel once your all done.

Ok i will try find out a vooddoo kernel, but if you please can link me to it, it will be very easier
Ok i flashed the voodoo kernel and from CWM i disabled the lagfix. And then again i i got the same error, "failed to mount /dbdata" after flashing through odin. And again back to bootloop.
What do i do.
Thankfully i can get into recovery menu. And i tried restoring nand backup but i got an error flashing boot image.
What's the next step
Try this. Remove BOTH external sd card and sim card. Boot to recovery, goto mounts/storage and format sdcard, back to recovery head menu, factory reset/wipe, format cache/format dalvik cache then remove battery, boot to doenload and flash rom agin with odin
Oh, and dont forget to disable ALL lagfixes BEFORE odin flash.
i had the same problem yesterday, what i did is i flashed through odin some 2.2 froyo (3 files) with repartition and the problem was solved; the rom was pre rooted JP3 ; hope it helps you

Originally I had 2.2 on my SGS. When Samsung released the update to 2.3 Kies couldnt update my phone. So I applied the recovery mode downgrade from 3e to 2e via Odin and flashed a custom ROM from romkitchen.org
Now I wanted to flash team ICSSGS rc3.1 rom to my phone but when I go to recovery mode all I get is a black screen.
The phone is working though, and pressing the power button boots it up.
So I installed rommanager.apk by Clockworkmod and via it, cwm recovery.
But still the same black screen.
What can I do to get recovery fully operational again?
Usually when you create a ROM from ROM Kitchen you have chosen a kernel. Which kernel you have chosen?
A recommended way: flash a custom kernel (you can DL from "Android Development" zone) via odin. Then follow the instruction from ICSSGS.
Hope I can help you!
Ah yea, I've forgotten to mention that. I've chosen Talon kernel. Can you recommend me one?
You could flash Semaphore kernel, pick the version to match your rom you have currently installed. Once you have Semaphore kernel installed you can follow the instructions to install ICS rom.

I did this now:
1. Return to stock 2.3.3 via Odin
2. Flash root kernel
3. Install CWM recovery
4. Install ICSSGS RC4.1
5. Install devil kernel
Voila
Thanks for the help
I can flash directly from Gingerbread? I tried 2 times with OdinOne Click flash but I have not flash because Odin gets stuck in factoryfs. Thanks to USB JIG I managed to revive my Captivate.
yes you can, but why?
odin sometimes locks up. keep trying. where did you get this one click?

I will try with a file .tar i got. I need Flash CyanogenMod 7.1, the Stock ROM Gingerbread is worse than Eclair, I am disappointed, I thought it would be better
Another question. It is necessary wipe/data before flash with Odin?
Just flash CM7 from where you are now. And Odin wipes it for you
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
Are you sure that I can flash directly from Gingerbread 2.3.5 (Stock) to a ROM CyanogenMod 7.1 (Official)? Had I known it would not be with the disastrous Stock ROM 2.3.5. And from any Custom Kernel? I have Corn Kernel v7.06
Yes flash it with CWM Recovery and it will boot loop (supposed to happen). Pull the battery and put it back in. Boot into recovery and wipe everything then flash CyanogenMod and Gapps. Reboot and you're good to go. If you wanna flash a custom kernel I recommend Glitch 13.1
Hi, yes, this is Dog.
No, seriously, today I tried to flash semaphore kernel 2.2 (JB) to my Jelly Bean Port Rom , wich came with Devil's kernel. When the instalation finished the phone rebooted and now it gets stuck with the Semaphore's kernel screen.
Recovery doesn't work.
Download mode DOES work.
I don't know too much about bootloaders and deeper stuff.
So, what shall I do? I just downloaded Tsunami's AOKP JB ROM, but its a .zip and Odin only allows .tar.. And I dont have a nand backup with JB (i have it with ICS)
Help me! please!
SOLVED: Flashed Devil's kernel back with Odin. Then reflashed the rom with CWM.
Hi everyone,
I've a problem with my SGS.
I was trying to install my first custom rom on the stock android 2.3.6 - CM10 following the WIKI.
After I've installed as suggested Heimdall, I've tried to install hardcore's ClockworkMod Recovery but once I've typed the command "heimdall flash --kernel zImage" in the terminal window the phone starts booting up again and again in an infinite loop.
How can i fix the problem?
Thanks for helping

Do you use sgs or sgs+ ?
because i know more things about the sgs+
maybe solution: turn out the battery and then if you can get into recovery mode, flash a cwm recovery zip and an ICS or JB rom
if it doesn't help report back
Greets
It is a SGS.
I've noticed that I can get into ClockworkMod recovery with the 3-buttons combo and i can navigate in the menu or wipe cache and so on.
Is it possible that my problem is due to an wrong firmware? Maybe i should use the multiCSC version?
Where can I find the cwm recovery zip?

Thanks everyone for help and hints!
I managed installing CM10 by reverting to stock firmware with Odin, then reflashing again CF with Odin and at the end installing latest CM10.1 successfully
The only thing I was missing in the first attempt was I haven't installed KIES on the pc (it is new) where i plugged the SGS (I thought that with heimdall i wasn't supposed to install kies) but in order to get Odin working i must install kies.
After kies installation, Odin successfully revert to stock firmware, than CF e than CM10.1
