[Q] Arco's Recovery

Hello. I recently installed Arco's recovery and ICS (cm9), but now I have to install a Gingerbread - based rom. Is Arco's recovery compatible with non - ics roms or do I have to flash the old cwm again?
Thanks.

Hello I am using Arco too~~may I ask u that how to install the recovery and ICS?
I rooted Arco already, should I try to unlock the BL and then install an ICS ROM for LT18?
really dun know what to do....
thanks very much~~~

Can you still go to recovery? If you can reflash CM9 to get CWM back. If you don't flash a new kernel with odin

Well... if you install a new ROM your recovery gets lost so you'll have to flash it again anyway.

CWM 6
I've built a new recovery. Could someone test it? Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwlE_OdJFnPgLUdUcG55R0dUMGs/edit#
You can flash it using broodplank's Quick Flasher or with dd command. Flash it at your own risk.

[Q] Is there a way to debug stuck on boot problems?

I recently tried to flash my GN from ICS Stock ROM to CM9 ROM. I did the following:
- boot to CWM
- wipe the system
- flashed the new ROM
- installed GApps
- reboot
I tried it both with h0tw1r3-UCLE3-CM9-RC0 and Thor 0.12f ROMs and always got stuck on boot screen. The Samsung start screen appears and then only black. I flashed back the Stock ROM with CWM restore and now the phone works again as before, but I still would like to try a custom ROM.
The question is, is there a common way to debug this kind of problems? I guess I could spend some to look into it, but the system does not come up, so I don't even know where to start.

If you have adb setup you could use adb logcat to get in depth details of what happening when booting ( attempting to boot )
But i see your problem is because you flashed a CM9 over ICS, you MUST revert to GB before flashing any CM based ROMs.
Grab yourself a ODIN flashable GB ROM and flash it !
Then continue the above steps
EDIT: Prerooted GB ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
once installed, Flash a custom kernel like abyss and then wipe and then install ROM + Gapps.
DO NOT WIPE ON THE STOCK ICS KERNEL !

Because of the brick bug? Yes, I know.

One step further - but still not working
Okay, I tried what you suggested:
- flash pre-rooted GB ROM
- messy procedure with adb to get cwm recovery onto GB system
- flashed thor kernel
- wipe (factory reset)
- flashed new ROM with cwm (tried both thor or hotwore CM9)
- flashed gapps with cwm
- reboot
- running adb logcat while booting
The system still doesn't come up, but I got bootlogs from adb.
There are several errors, including missing files and a segfault. But to me nothing very enlightening, nothing that tells me why it happens. I attached the logs, maybe someone with more experience can make sense out of those and tell me what's wrong?

Installing ROM by CWM issue

Hello. I'm going to install the new android into I9000. In the previous thread you recommend me the Semaphore kernel and Jelly Bean ROMs.
I installed the Semaphore from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786220 by odin and I need to install zip file with my new ROM by clockworkmod recovery. I tried to install three types of ROMs: cyanogenmod10, c-rom, tsunami, however everyone shows 'error [path to file] (status 0) - installation aborted' when the installation starts.
What am I doing wrong?

Status 0 is due to having wrong CWM on you phone, likely you are on ICS ROM and using JB kernel and trying to Flash JB ROM

thanks for your answer,
i'm using semaphore JB 2.3.0 Kernel (URL in first post) - the author writes:
This is a kernel based on the pawitp's one and it works for Android 4.1.1 JB ROMs.
This version works for Jelly Bean ROMs

I want to install this: [NIGHTLY][ROM][4.1.1] CyanogenMod 10
So could you recommend me other kernel + ROM? Why it happens if i have JB kernel and JB rom?

thanks for so fast answer
I tried the newest version 'experimental' (10/8) and next one "nightly" (10/3), but it looks that the problem are not in ROMs. I tried c-rom, tsunami and there is the same problem.

yes kernel will work but CWM does not, so flash the ICS kernel to solve your problem , you are currently on ICS, so use ICS kernel and upgrade to JB, once in JB , use JB kernel

sorry, but i don't understand. i should install the ics kernel, e.g. from here: http://www.semaphore.gr/downloads/gt-i9000-ics and next i need to install JB kernel from sdcard in cwm of ics?

One you have an ICS kernel, your CWM will be able to Flash a JB ROM in recovery, once you have a working JB ROM, its up to you , IF you would like to have JB Kernel , just Flash that

thank you @xsenam
now i have JB ROM and JB Kernel.
Everything works, but in GB i had the Semaphore settings and now i didn't see that, only Superuser. Should it be in the apps?

Greetings from Poland for Republika ng Pilipinas

sadly i have one more issue, i've inserted my sim card and the phone shows: mobile network not available, when i'm going to search mobile networks it shows: 'error while searching for networks'. I tried to ON&OFF aeroplane mode (as i read in google), but it doesn't help.

just check if you still have your IMEI, if not use a solution from My Android Solutions to fix it
BUT make sure you inserted your sim card in the correct direction

No i don't have an IMEI (checked by *#06# code, shows only "IMEI" without the number). So, if i didn't make a backup i need to flash an old ROM, go to CWM and make a wipe, delete EFS folder with root explorer and install the ICS kernel with Phone EFS Clear ticked?
I have next problem. My i9000 resets byself and goes to CWM. He made it for three times when i didn't use him.

NO, all you need to do is , was written in above link
1) Download Root Explorer from Play Store and use it to
2) Search you internal SD card for sdcard/backup/efs
3) Copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log paste them into /efs in your Phone memory
4) Reboot to get back your original IMEI
or
you can start from the beginning.. go back to GB 2.36 (use a JVU ROM + Root, upgrade to ICS CM 9 and than to CM10

First of all I installed twrp 2.2 and I felt into bootloop so I flashed Bootloader.tar and now my phone is working good;but I have a question ;If I go into recovery mode next time I will be in bootloop again and I must flash bootloader again?!
Sorry for my bad English!

you can flash a CWM 6.0 or TWRP 6.0 to recover , IF your current TWRP is bad ,

if you have cwm(any version)
you can install whatever rom you have
if you are on other bases like GB or ICS and trying to install JB or new versions of cm10
you should do the installing process three times
there will be an error after first try and on the second it will install but you will get bootloop and you have to take out battery put it back and boot to recovery with three button combo and start the third time of install process after that do a restart and you are done
good luck :good:

thanks for your reply, but I solve that problem with @xsenman help. Now I have issue with mobile network.
@xsenman: i understand that i need to install old rom from your post and just make upgrade to ics? Or should I make any other steps in this tutorial?

[Q] JB to GB downgrade failure?

So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!

Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe

It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.

I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.

Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.

But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?

I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!

If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework

CM10 on Unlocked ICS Bootloader NOT WORKING

Hey guys,
i have a question about why i cant install the cm10 rom on my phone.
i have the django version 1.2 King of birds rom with the new boot loader on my phone, and the recommended CWM.
I cant backup/restore my rom, it always ends up in "done freeing space." after 5 seconds of back upping.
Does anyone have the same problems ?
Cheers.

Shouldn't you post this in Q/A?

You have to use CM10 for the new bootlaoder. Stock CM10 of RC is for the old bootloader. Look in the dev section. There you will find a CM10 for the new bootloader.

I wanted to use the CM 10 for the NEW ICS bootloader.
I red the instructions carefully
: ""If you come from any ICS with unlocked bootloader (Topogigi, Carburano, etc...):
1) grab the recovery zip and the cm10 or the cm10.1 zip attached to this post
2) enable debug in developer options (if you haven't already of course)
3) connect the usb cable to your box
4) copy the two zips in your external sd card done easily
5) reboot to recovery by holding power and volume down
5) wipe data/cache, then go to mounts and format system (just to be safe) okay , just like every rom flash
6) flash the recovery zip file you previously slapped in the external sd card DOES NOT WORK
7) reboot recovery from the advanced menu
8) flash the cm10 zip as usual""#
Do u understand my problem now ?

Sorry but in your first post you didn't specify which CM10 ROM you use. Now I understand that it doesn't work with CM10 for the new bootloader. You write also in the first post what is the error of backing up and restoring. But what is actually the error when you try to flash the recovery zip? If you ask for help you should be so kind and submit as much information as possible! Do you have problems with flashing CM10 or are you having problems with backup/restore? Or are you having issues with both tasks

As the rest said, you should install the recovery ZIP from SDcard, if this doesn't work I'm assuming you're not on the new ICS bootloader? Did you NVFlash a new ICS rom or manually get to the new partition layout?
Also, try not to sound offensive and there's no need for caps We fully understand you

Op, have you flash pengus's recovery version. Just go with the latest (20121230) one. Then reboot to recovery from advance menu. Lastly, flash pengus cm10 ROM.

Hey,
i re-flashed the Django Rom 1.2 , and now back-upping works, bot needs a looot loot of time !
The Error which occurs is : E: Can´t open /sdcard/recovery-20121233.zip (bad) Installation aborted.
But the Django Rom is with the NEW ICS Bootloader, isnt it ? The first time i installed the 1.0 Rom it was a .Kdz .
sry for miss understandings, my English is too bad.

Use aio tools, then reformat your phone to ext4 system to repair the can't mount problem, that works for me.

Thanks, but i cant restore my rom now, MD5 missmatch - can i restore it otherwise ?

I ended up with the same problem a week ago...got Status 0 cwm error when trying flashing the CM10 pengus ROM even if I had done everything properly. Then I tried to restore and got the same MD5 mismatch.
The only solution I've found was re-flashing the stock rom and re-doing the process. And then I was able to flash it properly :good:

I also having an error in CWM when i'm trying to flash pengus rom, and i decided to flash the ext4 to format my system to ext4 (it included on aio tool folder) then flash the rom and it works
