Trying to install the Cynogen ICS ROM, and when installing the .zip, it loads the Samsung flash screen with Cynogen, then get the green guy and loads of text for about half a second, then it just reboots. Over and over for about 10 mins. WHat went wrong? What should I do?
It happend the same to me.
I just removed the battery and put it back, entered in CWM and reinstalled the ROM.
Good luck!
I somehow got into a recovery mode, but with the assumption it would all go wrong again, tried to install the .zip Darky rom instead, went through the process and said it worked but then it just went back to the Cynogen loop problem!? I just tried a Restore instead, but I haven't rebooted yet, should I wipe everything again, and try the ICM .zip again?
Yep, just go with the whipe. I hope you did a backup.
OK turns out the Restore failed, so now trying to reinstall ICS .zip again. fingers crossed!
yep backed it up, not that its seems to have helped.
Well now it's stuck in the Galaxy S bootscreen...
that really sucks....did you deactivated the lagfix before running the rom?
If the problem persists you have to run a basic ROM using ODIN.
Yes deactivated the lagfixI can't get into recovery or anything now, except download mode.
Download mode is all you need to run a ROM with Odin.
I recommend Amestris, it is a good ROM, good battery life but the thread in not complete, there are some files missing...for now.
I've put some older ROM on I had, then tried to install ICS again but now when I use Clockwork, and select the file it goes to recovery but I can't select any zip files, just reboot back to this awful old ROM!
I had same issue when I installed ics, what I did that worked was pull battery and go back into cwm, reflashed ics zip and it fully installed that time. Had same experience when flashing cm7 before.
Not getting anywhere with this. I get an option to install zip from sdcard which is where the update is (an where the darky update also is which worked), but there is an option to update from internal SD, which is not where the file is. Is it in the wrong place?
I think you would be best to use Odin 1.3 to flash DarkyROM Ficeto JVT base rom.
are you sure those files are still on your sd card?
The reason you need to pull the battery and reflash the ICS rom a few times is because Samsung ROM (most) have a different partition layout to CM7 based roms (which the ICS port is one).
GL.
have been running my captivate on CM7 with Glitch v13 for a while, and having a lot of force close, and sometimes lockups, so decided to try the new Fasty III KK4 rom, the rom is supposed to have Corn kernel built in.
Well everytime I try to flash the zip in CWM, it says successfully installed please reboot, I reboot and it still show the Glitch boot images, and just sits at that screen for 10+ minutes.
I tried flashing just Corn kernel v7.06, says it finished, still reboots with Glitch logo.
I formatted data and cache, tried factory resets, cleared kernel, cleared dalvik, but it still seems the same everytime.
I was able to successfully flash the Glitch v13.1 update, and re-flash CM7, but I still cant seem to flash any other rom or kernel - any ideas?
CM Roms use a different file system than Samsung based roms (Fasty, Legend, Saurom, etc).
You will need to flash back to a stock image so that it will repartition your device back to the Samsung format. After that you can Odin/Heimdall/CWM flash to your new ROM.
thanks -I had a feeling it was something like that.
Before I begin, yes... I did search and look through a few threads with similar titles but did not find my problem.
I am not a phone geek and I am new to all this, but I rooted my Note along with a "Franco kernel", which worked successfully. My phone booted up as it was before (in fact I noticed absolutely no difference in my phone, whatsoever).
The problems begun when I tried to install an "Abyss" kernel via CWM, which apparently installed successfully, but the phone would never get past boot-up (not so successful after all, huh?). I realized that it wasn't going to work, so I though no problem, and went back into CWM and re-installed the Franco kernel that I was using before (which worked). Strangely, this kernel, too, would now no longer boot.
I successfully restored the phone with a GB rom via odin (teriible rom), and proceeded to install the so-called "Hydracore" kernel (love the names) via cwm.... this kernel made things even worse. Once again the installation was supposedly "successful", but the phone doesn't go past boot. This time, it gets stuck on a very dim black screen, which isn't actually black, it is a dark creamy/pink hue that you can only notice in absolute darkness. (WTF?) This screen has random black blotches on it, but again, if you are in a lit up room the screen looks completely black and you cannot tell that it is actually lit. When I say that this kernel made the problems even worse, I say that because when this happens (dim black screen), I cannot even enter CWM recovery at all to try and install a different kernel. From here, I can only access download mode, and have no choice but to restore the phone with the GB rom via odin. I did so, and proceeded to install the latest version of "Hydracore" (v5.4) posted right here on XDA by the member 'chasmodo.' This time, I did the installation of the kernel via odin, which, once again, was supposedly successful... and once again a lie, as the phone just goes into the same black screen, with no option other than download mode.
The sole reason I have wasted hours of my life researching and understanding mobile phone terminology in the past few days is so that I can have jellybean on my Note. It seems that I am unable to do this because the Kernels are not working on my device. I have a very powerful and capable phone, which is currently stuck on this GB rom (which I think has to be the most terrible piece of coding ever made) so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
can you try go back to stock GB rom.. then upgrade to ICS and root using Dr Ketans method and then install Hydracore
You flashed Hydracore on GB rom? that's the main reason behind your problem, this Kernel is not for GB. Now either flash custom GB kernel or flash stock GB firmware using pc odin and then root it. Check post # 2 in this thread for rooting. (I guess you know how to do this )
Once you have root and cwm recovery, you can flash any custom rom you want.

Hi there, sorry to hear of your challenges.
One thing to remember before flashing is the nature of safe / unsafe kernels. Equally as important is compatible / non compatible kernels. It's not clear from your post but did you flash Abyss on an ICS ROM? If so, Abyss is a GB kernel. It will install but the ROM wont run due to lack of compatibility.
Abyss is used by many as a Safe kernel, a base to flash a new ROM from . Alternatively, it can be used to "downgrade" to Gingerbread ROMs.
If you are intent on trying a JB ROM, I would suggest a doing a full wipe (use the numerous guides on XDA) and a kernel clean (jBroid Script Cleaner for example). Now, research Chasmodo's excellent Kernel Repository and choose a kernel. Hydracore 4.3 Standard is a good "benchmark" however you could try the Official CM10 kernel from Entropy. Reboot to Recovery and flash your JB ROM of choice.
You will now have "Full Wiped" (including Script Clean), installed a Safe (Compatible) Kernel and flashed a compatible ROM.
For what its worth, I found GB to be an excellent ROM, particularly 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. CheckROM was one of my favorite ROMs on the S2 and they didnt even feel the need (till recently) to make an ICS version.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Yes, I forgot to mention that when I rooted it I was running official 4.0.3 which I got OTA. After I rooted I tried the Abyss kernel. I had read that if you try and install CM10 straight from ICS you can brick, and that you had to downgrade to GB to do this. There must have been a misunderstanding on my part as I though that installing Abyss would downgrade me to GB.
What I don't understand is that I have now installed a GB rom, yet the Abyss gb kernel still does not work.
The two members that posted mentioned that I should root, though I did mention in the OP that it is already rooted... Am I missing something?
Anyway, I want to avoid having to download any more big files. I already have the latest "nightly" build of CM10 in my SD card. Is there any GB kernel that I can install from where I am now that would make it safe to install the CM10 zip?

If I were on a GB ROM and wanted to run CM10 I would Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik) then do the following -
Flash Official CM10 kernel.
Reboot to Recovery (do not go straight to ROM flash)
Once back in Recovery, flash the CM10 ROM.
Reboot device.

So the official CM10 kernel is a gb kernel? Because remember that is what I'm currently on.
And just to make sure I got you... wipe everything, install kernel (I don't understand what you mean by "go straight to rom flash"), but then not "reboot system", instead "reboot to recovery", then install CM10 rom?
Also, when you say a "full wipe" do you mean that it will erase everything like a factory reset and delete all my apps and everything else? And is there anyway to install CM10 without doing this or is that the only way?
Cm10 kernel is a jelly bean kernel, so gb rom will not run under it.
Full wipe does mean erasing everything. Coming from gb, there is no other way to install, you need a full wipe, remember, you're updating two full revisions of the os, so it's not surprising a full wipe is needed. If you're worried about your apps, root gb before upgrading and use titanium backup to backup you're apps and then restore them when on cm10.

If you are on rooted GB Rom and want to flash a custom JB or ICS one, this is what you do:
1. drop into recovery
2. do a full wife™ (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik)
3. flash your JB/ICS Rom
4. reboob
Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

You telling me that I can safely go straight to JB from my current GB rom and kernel?
I already have a "nightly" JB rom on my SD card, so just to be clear, all I do is go into CWM recovery, do a "full" wipe (how do I do that by the way?) and install the JB rom from zip?
Yes, you can go ahead. Just follow the instructions kindly provided by chasmodo.
But please, do not forget to flash GApps after you flashed the JB "nightly ROM which is on your SD Card". Otherwise you won't have Google account, play store etc yada yada.
Full wipe (aka full-wife™) means wipe data/factory reset. Nothing else.

Great! I am downloading the GApps for JB now. How do I install them? I understand that this is also done through CWM recovery, but how do I instal them? do I install the JB rom and reboot to recovery and then just install GApps from zip before rebooting system?
Also, does the full wipe have to be done in CWM recovery, or can I just do the normal wipe on the phone menu before entering recovery?
You flash the ROM by pointing the recovery to the "ROM.zip", the same is valid for "GApps.zip".
So you do the following, no reboot in recovery in between those 2 steps!
Install zip (from where it is located, internal/external SD )
*ROM.zip
*Gapps.zip
*reboot system
Wipe data/factory reset is done (most of the times) in recovery. Just get used to it. Saves you some bad habits on doing it on stock ICS ...

OK install ROM and then install GApps straight away, got it.
Just about the wipe, is it a simple one button wipe that wipes everything, or are there several things that I have to wipe independently? This is the part I'm not too sure about.
Just go into recovery and have a look. I mean, a really close look! Your topic was "need help to install a kernel" not "I don't know how to use recovery and please can someone come over to my place in order to explain me CWM recovery".
Sorry. Everything has been explained. Can't (or rather dont want to) help you further than what has been already mentioned. Period.

That's fine. I'll go into recovery and have a look. Thanks for the help that you did give anyway.
It worked! I have been messing around with my new Note on Jellybean and looking through all the settings. It doesn't have project butter (or at least the project wasn't very successful), but still miles ahead of Touchwiz.
Just want to extend a big thanks to everyone that has helped me out. Much appreciated.
Just got my Galaxy S back from my Mum today (After I bricked it and sent for repair) she got a note2 omg... Decided to flash a custom rom..
Here goes..
First I followed this guide completelyhttp://http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide. After I flash the CM 10, my recovery was upgraded to v6.0.1.5 after reboot. But I cannot get pass the recovery. I will have the cm boot animation, then back to recovery again. Tried reflashing the rom, doesnt say any errors but still gets stuck at recovery.
Then I went thru the method at the wiki.cyanogenmod again and successfully flashed cwm recovery 2.5 again. Tried flashing the CM10 rom again but this time round, It shows a long error message ending with "status 7"
I am still able to go into download mode.
Was on stock unrooted 2.3.3 DXJV9.
I made the super no.1 noob mistake of not making a backup........... But, why is rooting and flashing of this phone so hard.....
Pls, any help is greatly appreciated.
Btw, I have manage to flash the stock image via odin but is still stuck in a boot loop.. after Odin completed and reboot, I am back into the stock recovery with the below error messages.
It will work

U just use GB jw4(your region) ROM (don't use single file like PDA).........you use files separately like this [PDA,phone,CSC,pit(512 or 513)]...............use Odin 1.85 for flashing files......,when u complete the flashing it automatically reboot to fulfill the flashing...........then also it gives red error means........ clear only wipe cache and don't clear wipe all data...........reboot your system..... I think this will work for u...........:fingers-crossed:
Thanks. Have it solved. Flashed with another rom with seperate files. I was using the the all in one previously. Got it to run CM10 nightly though till now still not too sure how... But, I m real happy now. It works great so far and I couldnt understand why Sammy refuse to roll out official ones even for 4.0..
Still trying to figure out how to root, flash SGS though.. I have done so for many other device but by far,... this phone is the most complicating....
Aj rocker root
By processor only we not getting stock ICS rom but we getting custom ROM by hacking processor.............
For rooting the ROM u want to be in stock GB ROM like 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 and then u want to download this file(http://download.chainfire.eu/132/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip)............. after download u want to open Odin 1.85 and select PDA then choose the downloaded file...........select start to flash the file.........reboot and enjoy the root bosssss......if u like this press thanks:fingers-crossed:

What I did was,
Flashed Android 2.3.5 XXJVS Firmware and rooted with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS.zip
Flashed the speedmod kernel via heimdall
Wiped data/cache. Flashed Latest CM10 nightly
( at this point, there was a error "status 0" installation aborted. When I reboot, the CM10 boot animation flashed twice and it brought me straight to CWM 6.0.1.5. Is this normal behaviour?? Then, not too sure what to do, I wipe data/cache and flashed CM10 and gapps again. this time round, installation successful and after reboot it boot into CM10. )
Is the above normal behaviour?
Next time I wish to change rom, from where I now( CM10) just need to wipe Data/cache and flashed the other rom?
Try to see if you can flash another custom Rom, if that works then it could be that your files are corrupted..
Have you stated your problem over at CM forums..

Most times from GB to JB u have 2 flash custom 2, 3 times. So its normal when flashing custom the first time it takes u to bootanimation and hangs (take out battery and go to recovery with 3 button combo and flash again till it says install is completed) or directly into recovery.
If u wanna flash other jb rom just full wipe and flash new custom. Make sure u make a nandroid backup so u can go back easily
I will try to be as detailed as possible. I have been long time user here, but this is the first time I'm posting. I usually read the instructions and posts and that usually suffices my needs. I was on a rooted galaxy note running chasmodo's assylum rom for quite some time now. For Flashing a new rom, I used to go to recovery mode, flash abbysnote kernel (v 3.9) and install a new rom. A few days ago i tried to flash Ezaechiel XXLT6 KM edition - V2.1. I guess I should have checked md5 of the downloaded rom coz after flashing it, my phone refused to boot up. It always took me to the recovery mode screen where i tried to install abyssnote kernel and reinstall assylum. but it didn't work. So I went to dr. ketan's post and tried to flash a pre rooted rom (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip) using pc odin. Now my phone works fine but i'm on ginger bread. I tried to flash new roms using recovery mode (abbyssnote kernel method) but no new rom can be installed. Everytime I try to install a new rom i face boot loop or get stuck on the setup screen. So I follow the PC odin method to flash the same pre rooted rom (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip) to get my phone working again. I would like to go back to assylumrom because i got used to aosp jellybean so much now. Anybody who has faced a similar problem in the past, please help
Use one of PhilZ kernels and then in his recovery prepare your device for a clean install (there is an option that does more than only "factory reset". With the old ones you didn't clean /preload.
Then follow the instructions to install your preferred Rom.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply thaidai. I will try the method and get back to you I used to do a clean wipe every time.
Mate first upgrade your stock ROM to ICS or JB. The ROMs like Asylum aren't supposed to be installed in GB, so first upgrade, then root and do a full wipe (data,cache,preload,dalvik) and get back to flash the ROM. No need to flash the Abyssnote every time, why do you do that?

I tried installing Cassies Xtraliterom XLC1 after the PC odin method. Got boot loop. What I'm basically saying is, after trying the PC odin method to rescue the device, I can't seem to install any other rom on it using the recovery mode route. Not even other GB roms. What am I to do??

I started using abyssnote kernel to install new roms after the "brick scare" of last year after which a lot of developers started recommending the method. I used to change between GB, ICS and JB roms easily using the abyssnote kernel. Don't know why it's not working anymore.
