Having issues flashing ROM. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everytime I flash a rom I get some error like ro.buildprop id
Then it lists a bunch of galaxy names.
And my phone is stuck at Galaxy S I9000 Screen.

Download the zip file again. Remove bat, reboot in recovery and select mounts and storage, sdcard. Put the new zip there and flash again.
Don't forget to say thanks if this post helped you.

I'm going to flash again but

I would like to know if the steps I remember are correct.
1. Backup, backup, backup ......
2. Execute One click JF6 odin (already installed on my Windows)
3. Execute One click root(already installed on my Windows)
4. Install ROM Manager
5. Flash Clockworkmod inside ROM Manager. If it doesn't pull it, manually download the clockwork mod update.zip
6. Download Perception zip file(done). Put it on sdcard and reboot into recovery mode, then install from zip file.
Did I miss anything?
Thanks!

Just backup the update.zip on your sd card and you can eliminate rooting and installing rom manager. Reboot into recovery and install packages (twice).

skip steps 3-5
drop the update.zip file onto your sdcard, after flashing stock reboot it into recovery using the 3 finger salute...
Awesome guys!!!
As always, thanks a lot!!!

I found the recovery-update.zip file under /clockworkmod. That's the one right? Why do we have to install it twice?
oh, forgot to say this other question regarding odin JF6. I've only used it once. I'm currently away from home so I cannot verify it now.
Is the button called Master-Clear? When I executed it last time, it didn't erase my internal sdcard. However, I read a thread earlier that Master-clear erases internal sdcard.
Thanks!
Check for two things before you start:
1. Does the phone get into recovery mode
2. Does the phone get into download mode
Recovery mode is to recover brain dead phones, aka, OS corrupted.
Download mode is to recover comatose phones, aka, doesn't even start up, but not bricked.

I think I did. I couldn't remember since we were doing it over freenode chat. I should have taken notes. Why?
Yea.. I've never really got that Master Clear to work on Odin on my phone so I don't use it.
If anything you could do a factory reset from within the phone itself after you've ODIN'd back to stock.
Just make sure you have that update.zip from the posts ^^ up there and your good to go.

Same here. I always format the internal SD first and then do a master reset.

master clear works, but you have to be:
a. booted up normal, with usb debugging ON
and
b. NOT have sdcard mounted to computer
c. have ODIN open BEFORE you plug in your phone
d. sacrifice a virgin chicken

ROM Manager Reboot?

Slight issue here, not sure if anyone has had it before.
Just acquired a Captivate as an xmas gift to myself (sick of that iPhone), and began the whole process of getting a new ROM onto it. Rooted, installed ROM Manager, flashed a clockworkmod recovery (2.5.1.2), and hit "Backup Current ROM".
The device reboots into the standard recovery mode with the usual options (reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data).
No backup is made, and I just have to continue the reboot. I've tried flashing to an older version, clearing the download cache, and using the option to go to ROM Manager's recovery mode (just takes me to the default recovery boot).
Am I doing something wrong here? I followed all of the instructions step by step.

Try doing "reinstall packages".
Steps:
1. Copy the clockwork recovery "update.zip" attached to this post to ur sdcard root.
2. Reboot to recovery.
3. Select "reinstall packages".
4. It would say something like replacing recovery with clockwork recovery, and reboot into recovery. This happens only the first time u use this.
5. Select "reinstall packages" again.
6. You should be in clockwork recovery.

Good deal. Worked perfectly. Out of curiosity, do we know why the phone was doing this?

Ok. I'll explain to the best of my knowledge.
The zip I gave u is the most non-intrusive way of CWM. No ROM manager installer is needed on phone apart from placing this zip on sdcard root.
When the phone boots up, it loads the default recovery console. When we select "reinstall packages", it loads "update.zip" on the sdcard root by default. Since the update.zip we have there is the CWM zip, it loads it therby loading CWM console.
If u don't want CWM, just delete this update.zip.
Hope this helps.
I have this exact same issue ROM Manager is doing nothing but rebooting into recovery. So if I use your workaround, I need to keep this update.zip file on my device at all times?

Yes best to do so
All ROM Manager does is download the update.zip that was posted and put it on your SD Card. The other steps need to be done regardless.

I got the ROM backup working. I guess I was too impatient the first time. I cleared/moved a lot of stuff off my internal SD card too....doubt that it mattered.
But it works quite well.

[Q] [CWM Manager][Help needed][Flash Stock firmware option]

CWM Manager has the ability to flash firmware parts either from separate files (zImage, factoryfs.img, etc) or from .tar / .tar.md5 files that they usually come packaged in.
- Download the firmware you want to flash
- If you have a ZIP or RAR file, extract it until you have seperate files, or .tar / .tar.md5 files
- Create a folder named 'firmware' on your external SD card
- Copy the files you want to flash to this folder ( /sdcard/external_sd/firmware ). factoryfs ("system") is mandatory part at the moment.
- TIP: If you are flashing a new firmware that already has a CF-Root kernel available, put it in the 'firmware' folder as well in zImage or .tar form (NOT .zip). Select it when asked which kernel to use, then use the "Flash normally" option later on.
- Open the CWM Manager app
- Select "Flash stock firmware"

Is what im following. I have the RocketRom files extracted into the internal SD card /external_sd/firmware folder and one on the external SD card with the folder firmware. The rocketRom zip had META-INF - system - modem.bin - zImage. But when i click on Flash stock firmware it says it cant find anything. Did i do something wrong? Or actually im not sure what im doing wrong.
Thanks for any help!

Stock firmware is always .tar files, Rocket ROM is .zip file..
Put the whole Rocket ROM .zip folder in your sd card (do not unzip it), open Mobile Odin and choose flash update zip and then choose RocketRom.zip
EDIT: or you can just put the zip in your sd card, reboot into recovery, choose install zip from sd card and then reboot system
Thanks i tried that. But when it rebooted everything looked the same. Is that what the rocketrom looks like?

No, recovery and mobile odin will not increase your flash counter
Flash counter will increase only if you flash custom firmware using PC Odin

Did the flash went successfully?
Try to reboot couple of times, that might help..
If not, reboot to recovery, do cache and dalvik wipe..
If not, try to reboot into recovery and do factory reset/data wipe/cache/dalvik wipe and reboot..you will lose your data this way

It didnt say any errors when installing so it shouldve of went fine.
Im doing a cache wipe. and it just went to a black screen after "calling all speed demons"
Ill doo a factory wipe then and get back to you. Thanks for your help so far!
I re did the whole process this time. And it still goes black after "calling all speed demons". Should i wait during this time? In the s2 forums i read about it going like this because it is building cache or something along those lines.
I judt reread the whole RM thread. I didnt read the "flash 22 first" bit. Ill do that and hope it works that time ><!

[Q] Clear Install Android 4.0.4

Hi..
I want to clean install Android 4.0.4 OS on my Samsung galaxy s plus (GT-19001) device.
Clean install means that i 'll have to install OS from scratch. Does i need Micro USb Jig for this purpose?
I have below files.
1-> cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip
2-> gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3-> recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.zip
4> CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4
Guide me in simple steps , i tried many times to install ICS (Android 4.0.4) but unfortunately unsuccessfull each time.
Why it didn't work for me?
I have tried in many ways. Thanks in advancee
Hey,
Could you tell me what was unsuccessful about the install? Did it stop installing, did it bootloop, so on so forth?
But this is how I flashed CM9 onto my I9000, and I know that the I9001 is very similar so...
1.) You've got CWM, sweet. Boot into recovery. Make a bckup of your data through the option provided.
2.) Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache. The first two are pretty simple to do, the last one is under "Advanced" settings.
3.) Now that you've got that, select "Install zip from SD". Navigate to where your CM9 file is. Select and confirm. Wait for it to flash in...
4.) At this point you might get a recovery bootloop. Don't panic here- just take out the battery, reinsert. Reboot into recovery. You should see that your recovery has been updated.
5.) Reselect the rom from the "Install zip from SD" option. This time it should start flashing in. Wait for it to finish, then it should reboot normally. Be patient as it boots up for the first time.
6.) Once you've done so, reboot into recovery again but this time select the gapps zip.
Unless the I9001 is different in a major way in terms of installing, that should work. I'm not quite sure...
Hope I helped

Hi.
I just started with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 and placed all above mentioned files/packages into the device internal SD card.
That's what i did :
1). Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
2). After reboot, i came up again in Recovery mode using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 application.
3). Now installed cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It took hardly 4 to 5 seconds and displayed a message that it completes . no flash screen or anything came up and reboot.
4). After that installed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It displayed same complete message but within 5 to 8 seconds i think.
5). I Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache after above step and then again repeat the process.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Now when i try to start my device then each time it comes into the CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4' s recovery mode.
Ask please i have tried too many things with it but yet not soft bricked.
I am able to switch into Download mode.

Perfectly simple guide! Thanks.:good:
The only thing I want to ask - what is the backup you have mentioned in point 1)? Is it back up of your personal data, or is it back up of your current ROM?
Hey man, glad I made it simple
Yeah, its a backup of your whole rom I believe- system apps, system files, all your downloaded apps all your data, so on so forth.
Helps you get back to what you were running before in case something goes wrong during installation.

Hmmm... Okay, I see...
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4? Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
Again, hope I helped

hi .
i am trying to give answer in point:
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4?
-> yes i t was exactly CWM 5.5.0.4.
Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
-> Could you elaborate the above sentence please? As long as i understood I initially installed CWM recovery through recovery mode by holding +Vol + Power+ Home.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
-> Yes i have been reverted through Odin Stock Gingerbread. How to root again? Could you please enlist in points?
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
-> I don't think it's a bootlooping situation. When i start my device , It dispays CWM recovery screen each time even after the sucessull completion of CM9 and gapps,
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
-> I tried it many time right now and 2-3 months ago too but it took almost 20 - 30 seconds in first attempt.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
-> I tried through Wipe and with it but could start my OS. Instead it display everytime a CWM screen.
=================================================================================================
In last , i did below steps :
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot.
Go into the cm10 thread by ivendor in developement section and in the middle of the 1st post is a download link for cwm 6.0.1.9. Flash it in recovery and reboot. The Problem should be gone.
Had the same issue.
Hope i helped
Hi Markey.
Do you mean that I 'll have to get CM10 and CWM 6.0.1.9 and then installed with same approach as i aforesaid?
Elaborate please if i misunderstood. Thanks

No i meant that you can install everything like in your guide and after that you install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot, then you should be in recovery and then you have to reboot your phone and it should start normally
This solved it for me

That's what I understood now:
0.5) Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
1) Boot into CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 Recovery mode.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.

9) Reboot
10) Then install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot.
It could be solution, i will try and 'll tell at today night (after 6 hours).
It should be the right way but you can skip step 5 and 9

Dear Markey,
Whyn't should i start from cwm 6.0.1.9 rather than CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 .
Should i require to check from it or not? cwm 6.0.1.9 support cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip ?

Should i require to check from it or not? cwm 6.0.1.9 support cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip ?

I don't know if cwm 6.0.1.9 supports cm9 but it should.
You could try it out and tell me back
when i go in advance and select wipe dalvik cache option.
it display an error:
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Dalvik Cache wiped.
After completion of each step, i tried again but still not start OS.

Got the same error, i think its normal
Ok, then flash this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=861538&d=1326841043 in recovery, reboot and tell me back if it works
Or you could try this way if the other isn't working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=928219&d=1330695090 its the stock recovery, flash it in recovery and reboot and tell me back. I think you should first try stock recovery and then the other file. Sry for the wrong order
Hope it will work again

I mean that you have to install them via recovery with install update from sd card or with install zip from sd card -> its called flashing
And i meant that you have to install the first file first and reboot and if its not working when you reboot then install the stock recovery and then the problem should be solved. But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
Hope i could help
Markey,
I did the same as you are saying and got the above error on each file.
Could you explain the below linw please ?
But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom

Which recovery do you use?
Cwm or stock recovery?
If you use stock then you have to reboot without installing one of the files and the problem should be solved
I meant that if you want to install another kernel or custom Rom you have to install the cwm recovery because its better then stock and after installation of the Rom or kernel you have to reinstall the stock recovery
If you don't understand i'll write you a guide for what you have to do

Serious trouble with Motorola Droid x2 *I think that is what it is xD*

Anyways, I have rooted this phone, done.
Now, I have the Cyanogenmod 12 Victara ZIP file onto my SD card, and ready to be installed..
*as well as gapps zip file in the same spot as the ^ file.*
I got a quick boot, *boots the phone into recovery at the click of a button* for earlier uses that just made it easier to go into recovery mode.
Now, I have the ROM manager, so I could boot into recovery and install the ZIP files that I wanted to be installed.
*BTW, this phone has 2.3.6 Gingerbread android on it.*
but when I click Reboot and install, it doesn't go into recovery mode, it just reboots.
Thats it! REBOOTS. omfg...
Okay, so, I now have a new idea on how to install the ZIP files. Just plainly booting the phone into recovery mode. okay! Easy!
buuuuuut of course when i do this, the android is like, so out of date that THERE ISNT A INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD BUTTON LIKE THERE WOULD BE ON ANY OTHER PHONE/TABLET.
omfgggggggg
It just says "apply update from SD card" tried that, just said no verifiable signature or something like that.
Then it says wipe data, cache partition and reboot.
Like, please, just someone help. The Motorola Droid x2 has so much potential and is just one of those phones that are only as good as the software they have.
