Normally I wouldn't post a thread, searching is quicker & requires less hanging around...but I am at my wits end now!
I am trying to install a new ROM on my phone but everything I try causes me issues.
I have got to the stage where I am trying to install a ROM (Darkyys). I have downloaded the ROM and put it into my internal SD card, home directory.
I have installed ROM manager, flashed clockworkMOD Recovery, and have restarted into recovery mode from that.
Now, the recovery mode is blue writing (if that helps).
I have cleared everything & go down to ''apply sdcard:update.zip'' and I get an error message which says:
'' E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted.''
Now, I have googled every tutorial, every error message and nothing has brought details up on how I get out of this loop.
Can anyone shed any light on it?
Cheers guys
edit: The recovery mode is 3e, and has - For BML - on it, if it helps?
the blue writing,, i think that is stock recovery mode, u need to get clockworkMod you will have to download that and flash it through recovery using the process you have already been trying for darkys rom..
when you have clockwork mod, your selecting the wrong thing. you wanna select update from sd card. then select chooze zip from sd card. then there you will see darkys rom (looks something like Darkyys vXX-wipe version.....zip)
Thanks for the post mate, the only options I have are;
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
format internal SD-card
Which is what's throwing me off currently!
yes get yourself clockworkMod from here: http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0
once downloaded put it on your sd card (internal) then apply sdcard:update.zip ( you may need to do this more than once) when its done the recovery menu will be different. than you can flash darkyys ROM
When I open ROm Manager, the top link says 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery', I select this first and it seems to install it fine. Below it ssays:
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1
Selecting the option below to 'Reboot into recovery' just brings me back tot he blue writing above!
edit: Ill try that now, thanks mate!
Thanks mate, though I am now getting the error message:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation Aborted.
Damn
thats weird.. what version of darkys rom are you trying to flash, you could try flashing speedMod kernel thru ODIN, takes 10 seconds and will remove standard recovery and replace with clockworkMod. then you can flash any rom you want. and even option to root/unroot.. built in lagfix and tweaks. very good kernel im running it now.
The latest version...8.0. I cant even get to the stage of the flashing the ROM though, the recovery mode is just not playing ball.
I have spent all evening trying to sort this, I don't suppose you could give me a brief run down on ODIN could you? Searching brings up everything under the sun!
edit: I am downloading it now.
your downloading what ?
I have downloaded ODIN, but am struggling to find instructions on it. I can gather it is another form of installing a ROM onto the phone, but you need to do so in the download mode?
edit: downloaded ODIN, have the .pit file and the .tar file in a separate folder, how do I flash the ROM...is that done using ODIN? Sorry for the questions, struggling to find usable instructions that explain the steps properly.
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html
Thats step by step guide to flashing a kernel.. that will put CWM as default recovery.. you dont have to keep the kernel as darkys 8.0 has its own built in voodoo kernel which is also really good.
but flash the kernel in the link above first ^^^ as that will allow you to flash anything you want thru CWM then you shudnt need to use ODIN again really..
Cwm only works on 2e recovery not 3e. Download cf root for your firmware and flash it with odin. Put the cf root file in the pda section and do nothing else. Put phone in download mode, connect to computer and hit start on odin. Done. You will have 2e recovery and can now flash darkys or other.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
thats another way of doing it yes. thanks for pointing that out sxi200
cf-root attached,
I ran ODIN & followed those instructions to the letter. My phone has been sat there for 10mins now and ODIN hasn't changed off 'SetupConnection'.
How long does this take, is it normal? Thanks again for your help!
I take that file, put it in ODIN folder & select it instead of the speedmode Kernal?
are you trying to flash darkys WIPE version or NO WIPE version ?? flashing a kernel only takes ten seconds.. does it not say pass in the top box on ODIN ??
Andehh said:

Click to collapse
yes u have to extract it first to get the .tar file
Some progress, I have got the 2e recovery mode now. I went to apply sdcard:update.zip, hoping to change the recovery mode over to CWM...but it only looped back to where it was before...the 2e recovery screen with apply sd card, reboot, and wipe data & cache being displayed.
Tried it for a second time & I am now in the CWM recovery mode, with the green lettering. Only issue now is I can't select (using home button) any of the options, i can scroll up and down though!
edit: power button does select, not home...seems to be doing something now! Will report back shortly!
haha that got me first time i installed CWM if you flash ROM it can take a while to boot, sometimes on my phone upto 15-20mins so dont panic if your phone doesnt respond, just keep your eye on the writing on CWM once it says update complete / successful all is good.. it will boot eventually.
Help Needed.Looks like i screwed by Samsung Captivate.
here is what i did :
My captivate was running cyanogen mod 7 (nightly build cm_captivatemtd_full-181)
I wanted to re-install CM7 and did the following:
1)Phone already had the copy of the same build in root directory which i used for cm7 install for the first time
2)I kept the phone in download mode and Used ODIN to flash the Kernel.It went through successfully.
3)I used the three button technique and tried to install the Build which has failed with 'assert failed:getprop (" some blah blah) saying finally installation aborted.
Not sure if i should have recopied the build to the phone instead of using the same existing build in the phone
4)Though the installation failed...my phone is not booting up and when i reboot.. the phone is hung with a message 'galaxy S scg-i897 Samsung' and doesnt boot up.
Please help on how to recover my phone to a normal state.
4)
This should be in CM7 thread. Did you try going back in to recovery? Try to get in recovery and factory reset+wipe cache and wipe dalvik and reflash?
I did all the steps you have mentioned in recovery . May i please know what do you mean by reflash?
you mean again i have flash kernal and install CM7 ?
Also as you know the i cannot copy any build to the phone as phone is booting up . Do u mean i have to use fresh build instead of the one which is there since my first cm7 install..
please suggest.Thanks for you reply.
If you can get in to cwm and you have a cm7 rom in your sd card, then you can attempt to reflash the rom. IF that's not possible ODIN back to a "stock" and start all over.
^Or...If you can get to cwm...you can mount the sdcard, in mounts and storages, and transfer what the hell ever you want over from your PC to your phone. Like a fresh download of cm7 for example...
sorry i know i am taking your time .
i am very new to these techincal words..
1)can you please help me how i can go into cwm ?
2)How to ODIN back to 'Stock'?
Thanks.

CWM= ClockWorkMod its the modified recovery used to do a whole bunch of things one being flashing roms.
If you don't know how to use ODIN then you shouldn't be messing with AOSP's or flashing for that matter.
Read First thread
Captivatte Directory thread <- lots of guides there.
How to Gingerbread thread
All of these are stickied and you should understand most of them to flash "safely"
Hi everyone
First of all a little history:I used this [PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] v4.93.6 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+ext4-LT4 to root my n7000 on 4.0.4 (I bought it with 4.0.4).
Then after some time Android wanted an upgrade to 4.1.2 and after some time I just tried it and it failed after booting into recovery mode, because it didnt find a the expected kernel, I think. But I had the chance to boot up again.
OK I then did the update with Kies-Software and everything worked again. Then I rooted the phone again using the same method as mentioned in the post above.
Now today the phone wanted to update again, I thought, OK, if it didnt fail completely the first time, it will fail in recovery mode and let me boot up again.
But...
This time it went into recovery mode and didnt let me boot up again. It just shows the robot with the crystal and the progress bar seems to move a little but then the screen goes black for a second and the robot returns and the progress bar moves a little and the same again.... I dont get into the recovery menu.
I tried samsung kies emergency recovery, it doesnt find my n7000.
I tried to flash the kernel with a newer version from the post above. (I am not allowed to post there). No change it gets stuck in broken recovery mode.
I can push volumedown power and home to get into the download mode.
My question is what can I do?
Is there any other chance to avoid a complete stock recovery (is that the right term/way)?
What do I have to flash and how?
I am a little worried about the brick issues and I dont know which version I have to flash to set it back completely...
Please help & thanks

No worries, since your download mode is still working you can flash a stock Samsung ROM via odin. Download one from here and flash it in odin while in download mode. Latest at this point of time is LT4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
This will give you the stock JB Bootloader, Recovery, and ROM. Its completely unrooted though, and the phone will not be wiped in the process, so remember to do so after you flashed it.

Thanks a lot, crownest!
I sweated a bucket of blood and seat, because I couldnt wipe cache and data first, but it worked!!!
Everything looks like before!´the update!
Some more questions (sorry):
do you think I should wipe cache and data now?
Is a stock rom like the rom on internal usbcard only?
What about the update? Can I update safely now?
Thanks again for helping...

Yup you should be able to wipe cache and dalvik with no issues now.
I believe all ROMs be it stock or custom installs to the NAND memory (Someone correct me if im wrong) and never on your internal/external SDcard
As for OTA updates via Kies, I dont see why not, but if the same issue does reoccur again then my suspicions would point to a possible NAND corruption on the device. Not sure if there is a fix for that, but its a risk you gotta take. Or you can always root the phone and flash custom ROMs as new builds get released, this way you'll never have to use OTA updates again.
Hello!
I'm new to Android, still learning how to use it. I'ved got an GT-I9000 with 2.3.6, it works fine excepting the battery. For example, the another night I tried to drain it by turning it on even due it was 0%. Left it to charge the hole night. And about 4 hours ago unpluged it, played 40 min. and the battey was at 40%. I don't think that's normal.
I thought I'd give a try at the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 I saw it is the latest. But the I saw the many roms Cyanogen, Slimbean, Mackay, etc. Which one do I need?
And a good tutorial is welcomed 'cuz I don't know ####.
Thanks!
Maybe it is problem with your battery, bad charging, weared etc. In my opinion 4.2.2 versions gives better battery live. No one will say which custom ROM is best - you have to try it itself. As a new user you can use latest CyanogenMod 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2)
If you want try custom ROMs on your phone you have to install custom recovery (CWM).
1) Check your baseband version of the phone (for instance XWJV) and find appropriate kernel:
Code:
www.semaphore.gr/downloads/i9000
. Check 'USB Debugging' in Applications -> Development.
2) Install it via Odin as PDA file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 (Download Mode = Volume Down+Home+Power)
2*) If there isn't your version you can try installing 3-file JVZ ROM with Re-Partition and PIT file - then use Semaphore JVZ kernel (but be careful with it, i made it with this version and someone other may give you safer way). Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 or
Code:
hotfile. com/dl/136940891/b232b26/I9000XWJVZ_I9000OXAJVT_OXA.rar.html
3) After you got your custom recovery and root you should make EFS backup (IMEI) and copy it into PC - you can use SGS Toolbox for Google Play.
4) Download and copy ROM files and GAPPS into your internal SD - (cm-10.1.3-RC1-galaxysmtd.zip) download from http://get.cm/?device=galaxysmtd. You can install CM9 first, because going directly to 10.x may lead to loosing your IMEI (i didn't lost it ). You can find Gapps for JB4.2 here: http://goo.im/gapps
5) Turn off phone, go to recovery (Volume Up+Home+Power). Up/Down = Volume button, Accept = Home. Use full wipe (Wipe Data/Factory reset, Wipe /cache, Advanced -> Wipe /dalvik cache). Now 'install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard' and seek for CM .zip file. After installation do same with GAPPS.
6) Reboot system now - all done. First boot takes a while.
Thanks for nothinh. I don't have a clue. Why doesn't exist a easy tutorial for installing from a stock 2.3.6 to 4.2.2?

Actually guide posted by AreXe isn't that hard. Just ask what part you cant understand instead of being rude
It's preety straightforward - you download kernel with built-in cwm that suits your current software (rom), you flash it via Odin, download ROM that you like the most, put it on SD and install from CWM recovery mode - doing all of those things while following instructions posted in their respective topics made by creators of those roms/kernels/guides - most of them are in "Galaxy S I9000 Android Development" section, you just have to look and do some reading.
I don;t get it because he says "after geting that, after installing that" and I don;t know If I already have it or no.
Now I'm in trouble and I need HELP!!
While tring to root the phone I opened zadiag.exe, hit install and it never got out of Download Mode. I'ved pulled out the battery and tried to start the phone... nothing hapened. After that I tried to flash with PITT 512 on Odin, at first it sayed Failed so I unninstalled the Composite USB Samsung device mobile and reinstalled the Samsung Drivers. Tried again to reflash with Odin and sayed Succesful! But it still doens't start. I can't enter in recovery mode, only download mode.
What do to?

How you tried to root the phone? And what zadiag.exe? If you not read all procedured carefully you can mess up your phone. I provided you link with tutorial, if thats too hard try using this clear method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44480332&postcount=31

I'd just opened zadiag.exe and hit install Samsung COmposite.... in Download Mode, after that it stayed there.
Now I'ved flashed Semaphore_kernel_JVU_2.5.0beta.tar and it's stuck in Recovery mode, tried Wipe data and after that cache, but I still have errors
Can;t mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Can't open same thing
Unknown volume for path recovery.command
And at the Wiping cache the same thing.
L.E. I'ved fixed it with this tutorial: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/ - that's what I call a well explained tutorial.
Thanks for the help. I'm going to try again to root it with the tutorial you gave me.
L.E.2. So it wasn;t my fault. After waiting 2.30 hours to download the rom I'ved began to flash it. Good. All things going nice. Going to step two: flashing CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS, hit start wait. At restart it enteret in Recover mode with the same errors "can't find ..."
So I'ved flashd it again to repair it. I guess my phone ain't made for rooting

Can't be true. Maybe someone other know good kernel file with root for JVU version. I used the JVZ with Semaphore kernel on 3 phones (mine and two from friends) and everything was fine - this is the best base for modding this phone in my opinion.
Then I'll dare to say that I ain't lucky in rooting.
Something's wrong. Why can't I flash custom roms?
I was following the official cyanogen mod wiki guide and everything was fine up until step 6. I couldn't boot into recovery mode, but I could boot normally. So after turning the phone off to try again, I realized I am now stuck in a boot loop. I can boot into download mode perfectly but now ODIN doesn't recognize when the phone is plugged in. Should I be worried? I have no idea what to do..
Thanks in advance, if you need more info feel free to ask!
Original problem (bootloop) was solved by using Heimdall, as was every subsequent problem I encountered in this thread. Many thanks to all!

Don't worry, it doesn't sound bad.
Can you enter CWM recovery? If yes, wipe 3 times (data/factory reset - cache - dalvik cache under "advanced") and reboot. It should do it.
If only download mode is accessible, you must flash a stock ROM with PIT file which will do proper re-partition of the /system again, root it and install CWM. After that you can flash again CM10.2. Don't use the CM site, use the thread of developer pawitp, just flash also compatible Gapps version right after the rom while still in recovery.
Best stock ROM as basic for clean flashing of CyanogenMod seems to be Froyo with SpeedMod kernel. Check this thread, all download links are there and working. If it helps you, post in that thread that it worked:

The speedy reply is appreciated, however Odin refuses to acknowledge my phone for some reason. The device is recognized by my PC, the drivers are installed, after all everything worked seamlessly the first time. Any ideas?

Is USB debugging enabled?
Otherwise, leave your i9000 turned off, run Odin and prepare all files first and turn the i9000 on into download mode just short before connecting and flashing. The i9000 has kind of "sleep mode" in download mode so if you run it into the download mode and wait few minutes, nothing will happen anymore.
also try a different USB socket on your computer
Samsung kies is killed???
No amount of port/wire changing seemed to work with Odim. However I followed a tut on youtube to flash with Heimdall, and my phone finally booted up with froyo 2.3.3
My original plan was to downgrade from Cyanogen mod, which my older brother put on a few years ago. The phone was beginning to lag and stuff, so yesterday I finally decided to do something about it. The PLAN was, to downgrade to froyo, and then upgrade to Cyanogen mod 10.2, however after getting froyo, my phone went a boot loop (hence this thread).
So I'm asking you all, what is my next step? I'm usually not this helpless, but I can't afford to screw this up again, and I'm honestly a bit scared to try anything without your say. As I said, I am now on froyo2.3.3, and the phone seems okay.
I'm looking through the file manager, and there's loads of cyanogenmod files in the root directory from before. I sorta wanna clean everything out before upgrading. Where should I go from here?

Excellent BTW, 2.3.x is Gingerbread, not Froyo. Upgrading to CM10.2 from Froyo with SpeedMod kernel works very well. Here is a step-by-step guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308
You are good adviced to read carefully, not just briefly. So you will void problems.
It could be, that your Samsung USB driver hasn't been installed properly. Installing Heimdall drivers has removed Samsung USB driver from my PC some months ago so be sure to have all working before flashing any new build.
If you flash now some Froyo build over your Gingerbread, you don't need PIT file and re-partition. Leave that field empty and don't touch any Odin options (re-partition will remain unchecked). Use compatible Odin version.

You're a hero! So I am now following that guide, and here are the steps I think I need first;
Root & install CWM recovery: turn off your i9000 and download speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz.tar
Run Odin as admin, set "speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz.tar" under PDA. Reboot and reset time checked, re-partition unchecked(!!)
start your i9000 in download mode with 3-button-combo and connect it via USB cable
if <Added!> and ID:COM port number are displayed in Odin, click on "Start"
after only few seconds kernel will be flashed and your i9000 will automatically reboot
Enjoy, now you can install zips of the CM build and compatible gapps for it via CWM recovery, SpeedMod kernel features CWM version 2xxx so after first attempt to install CM.zip it will upgrade just the CWM recovery to version 6xxx, so after that you can really flash the CMbuild.zip
How would I go about doing this process with Heimdall, as Odin is really not an option anymore
you could also try Mobile Odin Pro (google it) then choose the flashing kernel from here http://ndroidplay.blogspot.com/2012/08/mobile-odin-flash-kernels.html?m=1 then just flash the custom rom from Mobile Odin.
EDIT: this is the flashing kernel for i9000 http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...9/9/8/7/MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip
---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------
actually to use Mobile Odin i forgot you need a phone that working and can boot into the OS to install it so may not be an option for you.
After many hours of errors and whatnot, I have finally managed to upgrade my phone to Cyanogen Mod 11-20131207-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.
However, there's no play store!
Apparently I'm running android 4.4.1 and CM 11, therefore none of the gapp files are applicable?
I tried installing the latest one, only to get the error: (bad)
Did you use the latest nightly from today (20131208) ???
And the gapps for CM 11 ??? ==> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

I might write up a more in-depth tut later on for those as clueless to the scene as I am, however for now the whole process can be summed up in a few major steps;
Down/Upgrade to GingerBread (Android 2.3-2.3.2)
Root
Install ClockWorkMod
Wipe cache/data
Install Cyanogenmod
Perfect, good to hear, that your phone works as "desgined" :good:
