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.

hi all, i have an insteresting problem while upgrading from GB 2.3.6 to ICS.
i tried all the versions of kernels and ROM's here and was unable to find a solution.
1. when i am on GB i go into CWM, do all the possible wipes
2. i install from SD the new ICS version
3. after the installation i do all the wipes again
4. then i reset the device.
each time, the device is showing me the startup animation and then i get a screen saying that the encryption was unsuccessful.
nothing helped from there, i did wipe to factory default again - did not help, i re-flashed again - nothing helped.
i am stuck on GB without being able to use the good ROM's we have in this forum.
please help if you can.
thanks in advanced.
Did u try slim ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
Boot into recovery(CWM)
Do factory reset
Wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Flash the base file
Flash the essentials file
wipe dalvik cache
reboot
no, did not work.
after i finished all the steps the device started with the boot animation and again - encryption unsuccessful .
BTW, an interesting issue, after the encryption unsuccessful i got the device back into recovery mode and when i tried to load another zip from the sdcard i got an error in the device saying that my sdcard cannot be found.
any solution to that?
Did you check this thread ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
i have done this a long time ago.
and got to step 9, which afterwards i was supposed to have the ICS working but still i got the "encryption unsuccessful " error.
i was actually looking also for ICS files to use via Odin (maybe that will solve the problem) but did not found any.
Try asking in the same thread abouth the encryption error

From jvu, to install Slim ICS 2.8, in cwm factory reset/wipe cache/wipe delvik/format system/format cache/format datadata , flash 2.8 Essentials i9000 first then Base 2.8 (if bootloops pullout battery, put it back, enter recovery, reset, wipe, flash base again) and then Essentials again.
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???
Hello, I've recently tried installing Topogigi's ICS v30a ROM from ParanoidAndroid. During the process, I've upgraded CWM to 6.0.1.2 and performed a full dalvik, cache and data wipe on my phone. I first tried installing Topogigi's ICS v30a ROM using an earlier version of CWM without any success however after upgrading to a newer version of CWM and installing the rom, my phone appears to be hard bricked. Once I turn on the phone, the LG logo appears and then it shuts down within seconds. Entering recovery mode only gives me a blank screen. Any ideas?
EDIT: got it fixed by installing a new baseband thing (don't fully understand it 3 using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
EDIT: Can't get the new custom rom to install, tried deleting all the data from paranoid android and it still boots up as paranoid android. Please help!
you best bet is to do a full NVflash install then update using CWM,
try this following directions in the OP, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007968
then update using topo's V30a.
the NVflash is a unbrickable solution. make sure you install the drivers for the phone you can get them in this pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274&highlight=apx+drivers
then do the directions in Topo's OP and you should be running a pretty decent version of V30a.
let me know if you get stuck anywhere.
Hello necrowakker,
Thanks for your help, I've installed nvflash however I haven't a clue how to flash this rom using nvflash. I can't find the .bat file inside, only a boot.img and system.img file. I've downloaded version 1.1 of topogigi's rom and tried flashing with CWM 6.0.1.5 after doing a full data, cache and dalvik wipe but without any success.
Thanks again for your help!
Hi fellows,
I need your guidance and expert advice in resolving a situation, I have ran into recently. I was trying to install CM10.1 on my brother's galaxy Note GT-N7000 international version which was running official ICS 4.0.4.
Since, I had experience in installing different ROMs on my Galaxy S2, Nexus 7 and Xperia Arc so I was not worried about it being a big deal. So, I followed the procedure described in this page http://techgoneinsane.blogspot.com/2012/08/installing-cm10-on-galaxy-note-n7000.html?m=1 and used Odin and file from 'speedmod' to gain root access and flash CWM which was successful. Then, as planned, I tried update zip in the CWM recovery for CM10.1 nightly. But, I came across error 'Status 7' installation aborted. This was new to me, so I tried few things like 'factory reset', wipe data etc and even tried installing stock ROM ICS XXLRK which was previously installed but no avail. I tried several other ROMs like stable CM9 and other nightlies but no success. The phone is stuck on the boot Samsung logo with yellow triangle. However, I'm able to go in the recovery and download mode.
Upon doing couple of Google searches, I came to know, quite a number of people have faced this error by I couldn't understand the fix properly so can anyone of you please guide me for the solution. Thanks.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

If you are on Speedmod's recovery (which is safe), you can try this:
1) Download the latest CM10.1 kernel and save it to your SD card.
2) Flash it in Recovery (Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard), then reboot in the new Recovery (advanced > reboot recovery).
3) Do a full wipe (even format preload and system in "mounts")
3) Flash the latest CM10.1 build
4) Flash the 4.2.2 Gapps
5) Do a data wipe / factory reset
6) Reboot
You got a yellow triangle because you flashed an unofficial kernel through Odin. To get rid of it, use TriangleAway.
Good luck!

You're welcome. Glad I could help . If you feel like it, hit the Thanks button on Chasmodo's first message in the repository (where you downloaded your CM10.1 kernel). He really deserves it. You may also want to do the same on Entropy's first post in the unofficial CM10.1 thread :good: That way, you'll show your support and appreciation :angel:.
I really was checking the whole internet to find the solution for this but I couldn't find it (I'm a begginer so that might be the problem).
Problem is this.
I have a Samsung I9000 with rooted Gingerbread (BOJV9). I have rooted it with the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3 KERNEL.
So now my phone has a Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVZ-CL762604 [email protected] #2.
And the next thing that I wanted was to install the Slim Bean 4.2.2. So I went to the CWM recovery and I have done the wipe of cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset. everything went ok and fast. then I went to install the Slim Bean and started the install but just when it started, showed on the screen that it is instaling updates, phone just reseted, and Semaphore logo showed up, and was standing there for 10minutes. So I googled and saw that that was some kind of error. So I went CWM recovey and it had a new look because the version changed (from v3 to v6 I think) but I couldnt find data on my external SD card, as if it was deleted, but it was not, the data was there. Then I found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493 and was able to start the phone by flashing it with the original I9000 rom, and then installed the CWM again and then i returned my backup that I made of my phone. Then I started again to install Slim Bean again but this time I got an error at the wipe dalvik cache saying E:unknown volume for path. Now I dont know what could be the problem but please can you help me. Should I first install some other custom rom or should I put the rom files on to the I9000 memory or what. I am really confused
Also the same thing happend when I tried to install CM10. it starts the installation but it restarts after few seconds.
Files that I have used
Slim-I9000-4.2.2.build.3-OFFICIAL.rar
cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd
Anyone? Help?
Do what you did again till the recovery changes to v6 as you said & then flash the slim bean or any other rom again... it will work.
Good luck
