[Q] Stuck on boot loop [E:can't mount] - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Last month I installed my I9000 CM9 using CWM recovery, today I decided to give my brother's phone a go doing the same.
He didn't have CWM recovery, so we had to flash it using Odin, after a few tries we managed to do this and now the phone starts in recovery mode.
In recovery mode, we installed cm9 and gapps with no problems, but when the phone is rebooted - it goes into a boot loop and this comes up each time.

I can go into recovery mode and download mode.
I tried wiping/factory resetting, wiping dalvik cache / fixing permissions - they didnt work.
I cannot figure out what I should do next.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I had the exact same problem before on my i9001. I dont know what causes this problem, but what solved my problem is: do a full wipe. flash latest stock firmware through odin. Then just retry installing cwm (make sure you have the right one).
Tell us if this works or not.
Hit thanks if i helped

Thanks for the Quick reply, I appreciate it. But before trying all you said, I would like some other people to share their views on this.
Maybe there is another (easier) or (less risky) ways of solving it. Is there? Anyone?

Try to wipe data/factory reset, dalvik cache, then reinstall cm9

U just need to flash stock gb firmware first via Odin and let it boot properly because if u don't then there might be some mobile signal issues then root ur device and flash whatever Rom u want..

Rooting Samsung i9000 DXJPA and installing Cyanogenmod using Heimdall

Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 and install Cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm using a Mac and will be using Heimdall.
The problem is I don't know where I can find the correct version of Clockworkmod for my phone. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My phone details are below:

Also, is installing CWM actually rooting my phone or do I need to do something else?
Thanks!

If I do update to 2.3.6, how does that get me closer to rooting my phone?

Yes, because you need the gingerbread bootloaders to install CMx anyway. So do this.
1. Upgrade to 2.3.x with kies or Heimdall. Doesn't matter.
1a. Put the appropriate cm9 files in your SD card. (Gapps, ROM)
2. Flash semaphore or devil kernel .tar files under pda in Odin. Not sure about heimdall sorry!
Note: Please note that recovery is packaged with the kernel on this ROM, so flashing a kernel changes your cwm as well.
3. Now, you phone won't boot, no big deal. All we need is the recovery. Reboot into recovery and flash the cm9 file.
4. Now wipe data / factory reset
5. Reboot, Rejoice, enjoy

Wipe data. Next time read instruction before doing something.
K lads i know i messed up, but how cab i get out of this no?? I badly need my phone please guys n d battery thing didnt work tried that
i really taught id wake to some help here, please all
I hope you make backup, so restore your backup and restart all over again. If you have your backups on your computer it's very easy make sure follow the steps next time.
Did you try after you take out the battery and put it back go to recovery mode and restore your backup?
1.Flash the zip once again through clockworkmod recovery.
2.Clear data /Factory reset.
3.Clear dalvik-cache in advance mode.
If the above doesn't work, wipe battery stats(advance mode in CWM) and try again.
If somehow you are not able to go into recovery mode,follow these steps:
1. Remove battery.
2. Plugin you charger.
3. Press home button and without releasing it, insert the battery.
You are good to go.
Press THANKS if I helped.
Did you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache?

I cant read a thing. xD Perhaps an idea to share some of the errors here
I'd say download a new rom, or u could stick with that rom if you want but make sure you're doing a full wipe before installing roms. Do a factory wipe, system wipe, data, cache and dalvik. Do this at least twice, sounds to me like an incomplete wipe.

I downloaded a stock rom but its not working and i wiped my cache etc etc but i still get some fail errors any ideas?
Install CWM and wipe system, data, cache and dalvik after that flash latest stock ROM.
i cant install anything its reboot looping... if you mean cwm through google play
CWM via odin
So if i do it, what does it solve? can you give me a guide what to do after i install cwm or something?
thnx for your replys

This may be what you're looking for. instructions are given in the thread as well.
You don't need CWM to do this either, just Odin.

Problem switching ROM on Samsung Captivate.

Whew, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I've searched through the threads hoping to find something that would help me but I keep hitting dead ends. Ok, When I first rooted my Samsung Captivate over 5 months ago I used Odin method. I flashed speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to my cappy and then I flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 build 6 and I loved it! Since I liked it so much i flashed Build 7 when it released and then to what Im at now which is Slim Bean 4.3. After I flashed Slim Bean for the first time it changed my kernel from speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to Semaphore 3.0.91+. Yesterday I decided i wanted to switch up my rom to the Avatar cappy rom. So I got the rom and the gapps. I then loaded in recovery which changed to Semaphore CWM 6.0.3.6 after the flash. I then did factory wipe then cache then delvik cache. I selected the avatar rom to install and it gave me a status 7 error. I searched it and it brought me to the mobile odin fix. So I downloaded Mobile ODIN and when it loads it says "A compatible device was detected, but with an unexpected partition layout". So that was just a kick in the face. I searched what ODIN said but didn't get a good answer or fix. I've also tried to switch to TWRP but when I try it says there are no recoveries. If anyone can help me I would be so grateful. I'm kinda green at this whole rooting and rom flashing but it really intrigues me! Thanks.
PS. Sorry if there is already a thread for this. I didn't see anything.

I don't know anything about TWRP but if you are using CWM, do this....do all your wipes....then go to "Mounts and Storage" click on "Format System".....then flash your rom and gapps and reboot.

I don't think you can go directly from 4.3 to 4.2. You might have to flash kk4 without bootloaders and work you way back up.
Imo, even if there was another way, i'd still take that one to be sure to have a clean install.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Ok thanks I will give that a try! I had that same thought so I tried 4.3 CM10 but no luck. I will try to flash that kernal. I flashed the speedmod kernel the other night but it still acted the same. i will give what you recommended a shot when i get a few minutes. Thanks again!
Hey just checking back in! I'm glad to say that flashing back stock worked flawlessly! I used Odin One Click to go back to Eclair then I just flashed speedmod then [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2]. Everything is running great! Thanks for all the help!

SGS slow booting and all crashing

Hi,
I have problem with SGS. When I got it from my friend there was Android 2.3.3. When i turn on the phone, booting took maybe 30minutes, then all apps started to crash. So I did wipe data and wipe cache in system recovery but it didnt solve the problem. Then I flash over Odin official firmware but still booting takes about 30minutes and all apps are crashing. I tried to flash three files rom via odin too but it didnt help. So please help, i really dont know what to do now, i tried everything
Phone is non-rooted, there is official 2.3.6 but all is crashing so it is unusable.
Thanks and sorry for my english

yes you can, use odin and the download menu of the phone (turn it of, then turn it on and press volume down + home + power buttom for a few sec)
there are a few guids in this forum how to do that, just search for it
