Weird problem when flashing CM7 Help!

Hi,
I have many times tried to flash CM7, but always happens weird thing.
I have stock 2.3.5 XXJVS with Semaphore 2.5.0 kernel
1.I boot into CWM
2.I wipe cache then wipe data/factory reset then i go advanced and choose wipe Dalvik cache
3.Choose .zip from sd card
4.I choose update-cm7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
5.My phone flashes it
6.It reboots
7.Normal Galaxy S GT-i9000 then Galaxy S
Cyanogen Mod
8.It goes to recovery and posts text very fast then reboots again
9.It repeats everything what it does from section 7.
Im very confused so please help!

Have you tried flashing it again?

redo step 3 and onwards,
sometimes you just need to flash twice.

It seems like a corrupted download... Are you flashing from internal or external? Have you mounted before?

i tried to flash from internal

What version of CWM recovery do you have? Maybe flash a different ROM just to update CWM, and then flash the rom you want?

I had the same, or atleast a similar problem whilst trying to flash CM9. I fixed it by flashing the rom again.
You also might want to redownload the file incase it's corrupt.

i have CWM 5.0.2.7 and i downloaded the CyanogenMod file again so i try to flash it again

Any luck with your efforts this far?

yes, i succesfully installed CM9 about 3 months ago.
I'm not sure which build it was but it was the newest build

HELP! - Stuck booting to Recovery after trying to flash CM10 :(

Hi,
I flashed my GT-i9000 (Firmware was Gingerbread BUJVY) using CF Root (CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar) through ODIN.
All worked fine and I was able to boot into Recovery using the regular Volume Up+Home+Power.
I then proceeded to flash CM10 nightly (23/9/12) (from my external Micro SD card) by wiping data, wiping cache and wiping Dalvik Cache.
I then navigated to the zip file for CM10 and run it. It started ok then qiuckly the phone rebooted and rebooted into a newer version of CWM (6.0.1.4).
From here I cannot do anything at all!! It won't recognise my Micro SD now to even run the installation again
I'm hoping someone may be able to help, I would really appreciate it!
TIA!

Do you know what version is your Firmware? is it 2.3.3 or 2.3.6?, IF its 2.3.3 your boot loader needs to be updated to 2.3.6 for you use , If its already 2.3.6, than you should be able to use CWM recovery to reinstall the CM 10 from your SD card. (But by doing this you may lose your IMEI as you should do a progressive upgrade , like from GB 2.3.6>ICS CM9>JB) or flash a semaphore JB kernel
Easiest way out would be for you to use a JVU ROM to recover, safe your EFS, than proceed to CM 9 and than to CM 10...
you can get a rescue kit or JVU+CFRoot from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions

Hi there,
I was on Gingerbread 2.3.6 before I ran the above.
I have gotten a bit further than the above. I managed to mount the phone as a USB whilst in CWM and put the CM10 zip file on the actual phone memory. I then wiped data/cache/dalvik and rerun the install. It installed but didn’t reboot itself, so I rebooted manually and then the Cyanogenmod logo started up and it booted into CM10. Looked ok apart from the Home Button didn’t work!!
Do you think I should still run the above??
Rooting this phone and flashing ROMS is more difficult than my Galaxy S3!!
Cheers

Since you are already on CM 10, you need to solve your home button problem, try doing a wipe in recovery, if fails, flash again the CM 10

Hmmm, it didn’t work.
What I’ve done since though is try to flash another ROM.
I’ve flashed the ‘xBean’ ROM with success, however, I did encounter the exact same problem when flashing the ROM as mentioned above
I wiped data/cache/dalvik and run the install for xBean. It stopped after the first install attempt and rebooted itself, however it just brought me back to the CWM screen (although this time different from the CM CWM).
So I wiped data/cache/dalvik, then run the install again. This time it went through the full install but again (like with CM) it didn’t rebooted automatically. I manually rebooted and then the xBean logo came up and booted in.
This time the home button is working, and pretty much everything else is too by the looks of it. So far so good!
I guess my question would be, why does the ‘ghost installs’ keep happening???

[Q] X-Bean 3.0 - Different partition layout

Greetings. So I never had any issues when flashing new ROMs into my Galaxy S GT-I9000...until now.
Three days ago I went on and started reading topics explaining how to install Android 4.1.2 (Ive picked X-Bean 3.0). One of these topics mentioned I had to install Android 4.0.3 and after that I had to install Semaphore Kernel 1.3.0...and so I did. I've also did all the proper factory resets and cache wipes.
Everything was running smoothly, until I proceeded to install Android 4.1.2. When I went on and was trying to install it, an error message appeared saying the partition layout was different, so I chose the file again and when the phone booted up it kept rebooting endlessly. After that I used Darkys ROM to fix the issue and followed all the way until I ended with Android 4.0.3 again.
The curious thing is that I had flashed my father I9000 before and everything worked out and he has the 4.1.2 version working.
So after extensive search about how to fix the problem and trying the explained solutions, nothing seemed to work. Hence I decided to post here and ask if there's anything I missed or did wrong. If yes, I would be relly thankful if anyone could help me find a solution for it.
Resuming, these were the steps Ive followed until I ended up with Android 4.0.3:
1 - Enter CWM and make a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache
2 - Install .zip from sdcard>ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000
3 - Install .zip from sdcard>Semaphore_ICS_1.3.0s
Thank you
EDIT:
I just installed a new Semaphore version (2.8.0), and now when I try to install X-Bean 3-0, the following message is shown:
"E: error in/sdcard/external_sd/Android 4.1.2.zip

Just install the 4.1.2 zip and then the right kernel without flashing ics before
Redownload the Rom zip and try again
Tell me back if it helped or not

So I tried that, and at first no error message displayed, but at like 2% of the progress bar the phone rebooted and is now stuck on the Semaphore logo, even before I installed it.

Galaxy S bootloop

I wanted to flash custom rom on my galaxy S. I flashed clean rom, then kernel with CWM, but there is a problem. Everytime I try to flash rom it ends with bootloop. I tried cm7, cm10, rootbox, miui 2.4. Every time is the same. It starts installing (only few secodns), then screen becames brighter, then restart and bootloop. I tried different kernels, roms but still same result.
ps. sorry for my english

Hi, here is a great guide to fix bootloops:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596
Usually, doing factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before and after intalling the ROM should fix the issue though.

I'm doing all necessary wipes, I can recover from bootloop easly but I want flash custom rom and I can't. Istalling zip lasts few second, not few minutes, there is a problem.

Sorry if this is too basic, but are you using the right ROM for your phone?

of course...

I don't know if I'll be able to help you, but can you please list the exact model of your phone just in case? You can see the different variants here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S#Variants

It is just GT-I9000. Now I managed to flash CM7.2 but if I want install CM9 or CM10 im getting bootloop and can't enter recovery mode ;o

Sorry, I can't really give you an answer with that information. If you are following the steps in each ROMs thread, you should have no problems patching as far as I know (someone more knowledgeable than me may say otherwise).
Maybe posting the exact steps you are following would help me or others to find out what the issue is.

I'm following right steps. It's not my first phone. I know how it should be but it isn't. Here are my steps:
Flash stock ROM w/ODIN v1.85 - OK
Flash CF-Root w/ODIN v1.85
Wipe Data/Wipe Cache
Phone now rooted OK
Boot to CWM Recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Select update on SDCard (cm-7.1.0 from CM site)
Flash completes in just a few seconds
Phone reboots automatically
Now stuck in boot loop
Remove battery
Go to CWM again and reflash CM7.1 zip
Now i have CM7
Reboot to recovery, facotry reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
Flash CM9/CM10, finishes in few sec, reboots, then black screen, can't go to recovery mode ;(((
Flashing stock with odin again...and every time is the same, sometimes when I choose CM10 i see info: "Incompatible Partition Layout" so it may be the reason (something with partition, idk)

My phone has never rebooted like that, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I do know I use ODIN v3.07. I also have CWM 6.0.2.7
Best of luck finding a solution, sorry I could no be of more help.

I think CWM6 would help but I can't find this version for cm7

IGNORE ALL LINKS BELOW, they are for the wrong phone
I don't think it matters what CM you have on your phone, you should be able to upgrade CWM from recovery: Maybe not in i9000...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
Doesn't work in i9000 as far as I can tell: You can also try installing TWRP, which I like better than CWM and have in a different device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694617
Finally, and don't take me on this because is just a guess, maybe your bootloader is not working properly? I don't really remember how to do this myself:

You are showing me links to CMW and TWRP for i9001, I have i9000...

You are right, please ignore those links... I do know I patched CWM 6.0.2.7 through ODIN on my phone, so maybe that's the only way. In any case, I'll let you look for the actual links.

[Q] New rom results in LG logo stuck

Heey all,
Because of a release of android ICS I wanted to install a new rom. I used MIUI, and wanted to try cyanogenmod 10.1. So what I did: I downloaded the cyanogenmod, put it on the external SD. Afterwards I went into recovery mode, backed up current rom, wipe wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache. After that I tried to install the rom by selecting rom from external SD. It says update, an after a minute it says completed. So I restarted my phone, and it got stuck.
I tried some other roms, but same results. I also tried to restore backup, but somehow it didn't work, and fails. I've tried to update CWM to version 6, but that didn't resolve my problem.
So, at this point I have:
- CWM 6
- MIUI rom 2.3, 4.1
- Cyanogenmod 10.1 (nightly), 7.2
- Some more rom's, just for trying...
- A phone (LG Optimus 2x (P990)), wich only loads LG logo, and got stuck.
I hope someone could help me out!
Edit:
I can however load the MIUI 4.1 somehow, but no other rom there is I can install...

If I understood you right, you might be still in the old bootloader....use the All In One Tool kit by Spyrosk
if you are already rooted, CWM and in ICS partition layout with unlocked bootloader....then format your system, make all the three wipes and try to flash the CM ROM again. Dont forget the gapps(ofcourse optional)
Hope that helps you my friend
