[Q] CMupdater problem - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
There's something weird with CMupdater. It runs pretty good but the same problem occured to me twice so I'm documenting it as someone may help me.
I was in Nighlty build 20130103.
I wanted to upgrade to the nightly build 20130105. Then I've been to CMupdater in the settings and ask to download. There was a progress bar that was not making any progress at all. In fact, it was like if my phone was stuck in the connection phase with the server. So I restarted to download (back, then download again). I was surprised to see that my phone started a new thread for the same file (so 2 download for the same file now at the same time). This last one downloaded successfuly. Well, I then rebooted. It installed the upgrade successfuly and restarted the phone as usual.
What a surprise when I' discovered that my phone was still trying to download the package (while it's already installed). In CMupdater, I have 2 lines for the same 20131205 build : first line says : "installed". 2nd line says it's trying to download. I long pressed the first line to remove file. I've been to cmupdater folder to check that. Ok, the folder is empty.
So I rebooted in Recovery mode and wiped the cache as well as the Dalvik cache. No change. My phone is trying to download a file with cmupdater for days now.
I've also been to settings/applications/Cmupdater : force close, then delete data. It stops for about a minute and then restart trying to download the file.
How can I ask CMupdater to stop downloading the 20130105 nightly build ?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

nightly cyanogen 10.2 rom is getting stuck installing

Hello,
I tried to update my galaxy s via the integrated update screen on cyanogen mod to todays nightly rom update but during the android install animation it got about a third through and then went into quick recovery screen data which i couldnt read and then rebooted but to my existing version...in other words it didnt install properly.
Can anyone guide me through how to get this to update properly?
Thanks

A few nightlies ago there was a bug in the integrated CM-updater...
Have you tested it with download the zip-file ,put it on your device and flash it via CWM-Recovery ??? That`s my favorite way ...

It should work ,but i know with some of CM10.2-nightlies there was a bug and pawitp (the dev) makes a warning not to use the inbuilt updater ...but i think with the last nightlies it should work ...my way is flashing over CWM with the zip-file and not "over the air" ...
Is there any error?

SOLVED
Thanks for your help.
I managed to flash via CWM and now everything is great - and it sorted out my earlier problems which included lack of mobile internet, constant rebooting when turning on and problems with receiving sms texts.
For all those people having similar problem - here are the easy steps to get the new nightly 10.2 rom up and running on your Galaxy S:
1) Download the latest zip file for nightly ROM and latest GAPPS zipp file onto your computer.
2) Connect your mobile to computer and turn on the storage function so that you can see your phone's storage option on my computer.
3) Copy your 2 zip files from above to your phone's storage as zip files without extracting.
4) unplug your phone from the PC, turn off and then go into CWM via volume down/home and power buttons.
5) Select install zip from SD Card and then you should see error message something like 'partition is incorrect/different and you need to wipe data - don't worry about this as you will keep all your apps, ringtones, pictures etc.
6) Install zip from SD card a second time - this should now start the install process. Install the GAPPS file once this is done.
7) Reboot and you should be faced with a Cyanogenmod registration page. Go through the completion process and then your ready to go.
8) check in about phone in your settings to see the latest update in your settings.
I hope this works for you all but as always...this is what worked for me on my Galaxy S and any mod is at your own risk and I wont accept any abuse.

Lost Cwm and Twrp recoveries on touchpad

Hi guys I'm running cm10.2 Nightly 13/102013 and have lost both Cwm and the Twrp. I do not know how I've done it and need to get one of them back so I can update the rom. I have installed goo manager and when it tells me that there is an update I download it as usual but then it just reboots only giving me webos or webos recovery and CyanogenMod it is giving me no other options, I have downloaded the openscriptrecovery within goo manager and still nothing. Any help with this would be very much appreciated as I do not want to wipe it clean and doctor it unless I really have to.

same for me, how do you have resolveed?
EDIT: i have to reinstall CWM by novacom from terminal.
If your touchpad boots into 10.2 automatically each time after flashing 10.2 (without going into moboot menu for choice of webOS or recovery even though you have set a count down time previously), use any file explorer with root rights to access /boot and delete or rename the file moboot.next - if you open this file using any text editor, you will most probably find it contains a single word 'cyanogen', telling moboot to boot this the 'next' time.

t679 HELP! stuck in boot-loop after root-stock.zip install

grabbed root-stock.zip and cwm just below it (first 2 links on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686384 ) carefully followed instructions, even watched videos on youtube and everything went swimmingly except after system reboot following root-stock.zip install. i must have grabbed the wrong file (dont know how, it was recommended by everyone on every other thread regarding the rooting of the t679) anyway now i need assistance, which root.zip file should i use? how do i get it onto the phone's internal "usb storage" folder? or can i use another device to grab file, transfer to ext. sd, then put ext. sd card into t679? i understand its critical at this point to make no mistakes, i believe i can recover, assuming i get competent advice...
please advise...

p.s. i am attempting to repair wifi and bluetooth errors (assuming its the drivers not loaded properly following system update 2.3.6) though im not certain of the culprit of these errors as i am the 4th owner of this device. assuming an internal battery has NOT leaked onto circuit board causing corrosion, pretty sure its software not hardware issue. phone/sms/network WAS connecting just no wifi/bluetooth. gotta have wifi cuz im out in the woods on the "EDGE" network, home network is fast as can be.
In cwm wipe cache, under advanced try wipe dalvik, then fix permissions then reboot. Please report results.

hey thanks for helping me i really appreciate it. so i tried your advice, in every order possible. fix permissions, wipe (everything), load rom, reboot... wipe, load, fix, reboot... to no avail though. all results in same loop... im getting good at wiping and loading =)
also the location of the rom and cwm files prior to transferring to "usb storage" folder was "downloads" on my windows 7 pc... does this make a difference? i have noticed people saving these types of files to their desktop... just trying to find out where i went wrong... thanks again.

SIDE NOTE: i tried loading different rom "t679-root-v1.8.zip" with exact same results... however i noticed that when i load either version of the new rom when cwm begins installation, and when the progress bar at the lower part of the screen shows about 2-3% complete it is then all of the sudden finished with "complete" confirmation at the end. total time less than 5 seconds. according to instructional videos this process should take minutes, instead of seconds.... just an observation.

That's just root not a ROM. If your willing to start fresh you can try this.
Wipe everything x3
Under mounts and storage mound system and data then format both x3
Flash rooted community rom
Reboot
It should work. If you flash any recent ROM make sure you have the latest cwm or you will get status 7 error.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using XDA Free mobile app
success!! wifi/bluetooth still getting error though... tried *#*#526#*#* (wlantest engineering mode) reports "Notset Driver Loaded [NG]"
any ideas?
a-thousand thank yous

Issue with installation of rom with temporary cwm recovery by shaaan

I am having issues with the installation of a Custom ROM on my Galaxy S Advance.
I have done it before, and it went smoothly. But later I reverted back to official one.
Now I am doing it again. But having a few problems with the CWM recovery (v6.0.2.8). I am having an old file which was probably uploaded by Shaaan.
The file name is "update.zip".
I tried downloading the new file from one of his new threads, but that download infected my laptop with a large number of viruses, malwares and adwares that were on the host site. So I am using the old file itself.
So the issue is, I used the "root.zip" file to root my phone and it was done successfully as the Root Checker app also verified the root.
Later, I booted using the CWM Recovery.
Did the Wipe Data/ Fatory Reset.
Did Wipe Cache Data.
Did Wipe Dalvic Cache.
Then I moved to Installation of ROM.
When I select the option, "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD", there comes an error saying...
"E: Can't Mount /sdcard/"
I browsed the internet and found a solution that said CHANGING THE FILE SYSTEM OF THE SDCARD. So I did that too. Tried with NTFS as well as FAT32, but nothing happened.
I even tried to install by placing the ROM files in Internal Memory since they are not even getting cleaned after Wipe Data operation. But that too resulted in negative.
This is happening every time. By now, I have installed the official firmware 4 times, so as to start the process afresh, but no luck.
The ROM files are also not corrupted, as I have used them earlier.
Here are the images of the issue I am encountering. (Please tell how to upload images, as all that I can see is an option to add URL and not an image, also an error like posting 10 posts)
EXPECTING A SOLUTION TO IT ASAP, as the Official Jellybean version has again started to lag too much.

Question Miui 14 update disappeared

I got the update notification when I was on mobile data and canceled bc it was too slow. When I connected to wifi a few hours later, the update instantly disappeared and now it shows "no new update" when I hit to check. I tried to clear data to the Updater app but didn't help. I have the Global version.
Probably the staged rollout is bugged. Wait another day and give it a try then
this happened to me few times. so i started to use miui updated, which gives me possibility to download latest rom
It also happened with me yesterday. Had a talk with the support team and they said clear cache of system ui and reboot. But didn't work
Go to file manager > internal storage > download > downloaded roms
Delete corrupted file and check
