I haven't been able to connect to a PC for a couple of weeks. At first I thought it had to do with a ROM I installed but I've since flashed a few Roms and it still doesn't work. Of course I've tried the obvious, reinstalling the USB drivers, kies, a few different PC's etc. My last hope is installing the original rom (2.3.4) that came with the phone from my cell provider but as mentioned I can't connect to a PC to use Odin. I purchased Odin mobile for that purpose but it gives me the message that it doesn't work with CM based Roms because of it's partition layout. I'm out of ideas. Anyone know a ROM that will work with Odin mobile or have any other idea that might work?

you can flash any samsung based GB rom and then try installing the drivers..
SAUROM JW8 ROM is the latest updated one I think..
I'll give that a try today, thanks.

I checked out that ROM and it says that I first need to flash a stock GB ROM first since I am on JB. I can't do that without Odin of course. So what do I do?

My I9000 refused to be recognised by Windows but would still charge via usb. Only fixed when I physically pushed the connector inside the usb socket up slightly with a thin knife. Works every time now with Odin and mounts as mass storage.

First flash CM7 and the flash stock based rom.. for flashing CM7 follow the following steps:
wipe data, dalvik cache
flash CM7 rom
reboot recovery (if after rebooting recovery doesn't start don't worry.. just try the three button combo and it'll start - This is because of the change in partition layout in CM7 rom and present JB roms)
flash CM7 again
reboot
Now you are on CM7 GB rom and you can flash anything you want.,, the same steps can be done to flash stock based rom directly from JB rom but I prefer going to CM based roms first as they are closer to AOSP.

Did this work? Were you able to restore your USB drivers?

Ok so I posted a thread earlier about how my usb drivers arent working at all so using odin to flash back to stock is not an option. I did however successfully root and install andromeda without them. Now heres the problem, I backed up the stock rom using rom manager. Anromeda installed a kernel and modem so I cant use rom manager to back up the rom unless I get the kernel and modem back. My question is could I somehow find the stock kernel file and use neldars sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel back while still using the andromeda rom withouth having any problems? Also, will the modem affect my rom at all because I will change it as soon as i switch roms
H you can not flash a 2.1 Kernel on a 2.2 rom
Not sure what you are looking to do though
Im looking to install a different rom the problem is that I cant use odin because of the drivers not working. What im trying to say is if i flash the backup stock rom from rom manager its going to cause problems because its using andromedas kernel right?
Let me put it like this...is their another way to flash back to stock without using odin and without using a usb cable?

yes. you will need a CWM flashable zip of a 2.1 kernel and modem.
you would boot into CWM, flash that zip that includes kernel and modem, then restore your nandroid backup
ok thankyou!!! Ill try and locate the files myself but if anyone knows where they are and can tell me would be much appreciated.
why dont you just flash a 2.2 kernel with built-in clockwork mod recovery? you dont have to keep the kernel that came with your rom...
so... use sgs kernel flasher, why not? flash a new kernel then boot into its recovery (usually thrugh the power button menu on custom rom/kernels)...
Because I'm trying to install another custom rom, if i install a 2.2 kernel then flash back to.the stock rom which is 2.1 wont that cause problems?

Did you performed Full Wipe on ICS Stock Rom ? If so then its unfortunate to say your note might be bricked.

It is not a good sign. Looks like a case of superbrick to me due to emmc bug. Probably will need repartition with custom pit or adb.

Hi guys,
I normally try and work this stuff out for myself (as you can tell by my join date and my post count) but this has me stumped..
I was attempting to change ICS rome and somewhere in the process something went wrong...
After many unsuccessful attempts of flashing, stock ICS & GB, Abyss.. I checked the partions for errors and found the actual size of p-10 was different than the reported size by 1kb.
So, tried the e2fsck fix- it reported that it had corrected some errors.. I tried flashing again and agin- no success.
I then deleted the partitions, recreated them and reformatted in CWM. ADB reports no errors on any partition. When I try to load an ICS rom, it installs then hangs when it gets to the screen where you select the language.
I can successfully install a GB rom, but after a couple of minutes I start getting errors- then the affected app closes.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Which ics rom were you on originally before you tried flashing to which ics rom? Did you perform any wipes while on ics? Does sound like you have a good understanding of emmc bug and partitioning so forgive me if this all seems mundane.

Download emmc app from market and perform a memory test... Get a rooted gb rom as it needs root access.. And skip all kinds of setup at startup once you flash the gb(rooted) rom

I was on N7000XXLRB, Kernel Version 3.0.15-N7000XXLRG, and Build number IMM76D.XXLRG. Tried to go to AlBa rom, flashed Abyss, wiped cache/data in the CWM recovery and flashed the rom in CWM recovery...
I can successfully flash a stock GB rom with PC Odin, but it hangs on the boot screen( so I can't install dmmc test).
I have tried everything I can think of, just waiting on a jig to come in the mail so I can reset my counter for warranty
If you find a solution please post it.
I think i have the same problem. I posted it in general ( can anybody move it over here? I think this was wrong. Sorry i panicked. )
It's called permantly rebooting after flashing cm9.
I pledge for a solution.

Yeah, tried that....
I have tried everything I can think of. The Odin flash does'nt spit out an error... I can flash anything successfully but nothing actually boots?
So basically here is what I did, I flashed this ROM right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953847
And now CWM will not let me flash any other ROM, trying to flash anything else just fails and it stays on the current ROM. I can re-flash the current ROM and I have done multiple times, but I am unable to remove it, even with a full wipe and formatting /system which is really weird. It's practically irremovable. I posted a thread about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962219
Without much luck because I'm a bit of a noob and I didn't quite understand what they were talking about.
The first time I flashed a custom ROM was using this tutorial right here:
http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...cs-cyanogenmod-9-cm9-official-nightly-107611/
I used Heimdall Suite to flash the custom kernel which allowed me to then flash CM9, (it's only after CM9 that I went to this Jelly Bean ROM and since then I have been unable to go to any other ROM)
So my question is, would I be able to just re-do this tutorial without fear of damaging the device and hopefully rescue it and flash a different ROM? (I'm wanting to flash BlackCNA)
Thanks
shameless self bump
Firstly, get rid of Heimdall unless you're on a mac? Search this forum for pc odin, make sure you've got Kies installed correctly. Go into download mode on the phone, Vol down, home and power held down until reboots into download mode. Connect to pc on mobo usb ports with original data cable, you should get a connection in pc odin, then flash any gb rom initially just to see if it completes and if not, post back with the error.

Bricking is always a possibility, but pc odin is by far the safest method to flash. The possibility is very small that you'll run into any problems at all so long as you follow instructions and don't take shortcuts.

I rooted the captivate today (which was on froyo) (Using the odin method) and tried the official CM10 Rom first and then the AoCP Rom because i was getting a message saying 'android.process.media has stopped. Now i am getting the same problem with every other ROM, what might be the problem?? :crying: !
Did you try to reflash back to stock?
Do next using ODIN, download stock froyo for your rom if you don't have if its single file put it in PDA and flash it ( do not check repartition)
if you have 3 file you can check repartition but you will have to put PiT file aslo but if you have 1 file better.
So when you go back to stock, root your device install CWM recovery and install some older rom like CM7 to get GB with bootloader then when it boot ones if everything is ok, reboot recovery and flash CM10 or any rom you witch.
maybe a corrupted external sd card or other partition could cause this message. if you have an external sd card and unmount it, does the problem go away?
Sent from my SGH-I897
Maybe some rom made bad partitin layout so going back to stock then flash cm7 is the best way. Then from cm7 he can go any rom he like.

HI, so recently i brought a galaxy s gt i9000. I wanted to flash a custom rom so I install cwm and now have root access. problem is whenever i try to install a custom rom it shows the bar for installation in CWM and then goes to the custom rom logo. It does nothing else whatsoever after that. I need to take out my battery and restore my backup in order to get my phone working again from a bootloop. i tried putting the rom in both my external sd card and the phone itself. Also before installing i wiped the dalvik cache etc. Can someone please help, i've tried multiple roms so its obviously my phone. thanks
details:
Running JW4 firmware
android gingerbread 2.3.6
i9000 stucks in logo because your phone is not acessing internel memory...i have also got this problem..i dont have any solution..one thing u can do is that take your phone in download mode for 2 to 3 minutes approximately and then again on your phone ...this will work...But this problem comes again when u shutdown your mobile..another method is to take your i9000 in download mode and connect to computer and then download dbdata.rfs file put in odin in pda and apply ...these two processess will definately work fine to acess your internal memory

Just a few questions regarding how you installed the rom.
1.) What rom, first of all?
2.) After rooting 2.3.6 and trying to flash through recovery, did the phone skip to the kernel screen before continuously bootlooping?
3.) Did you try pulling your battery, then putting it back in, entering recovery and flashing the same rom again?
