[Q] SGS keeps rebooting after flashed .zip file with CWM

Hi, pls help me.
My SGS 2.3.3 running CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS.zip, then i flashed up with Circular battery.zip (from Juwe's Rom) and install it with CWM (just want to try up as i never do before), after flashing, my SGS keeps rebooting after loading booting amination in 5 seconds and never stop until i remove the battery. I put in battery again, switch on, but same, it still keeping reboot. I'm a beginner. I very regret now after flashing .zip file with CWM.
Pls help me.
Regards

Had successfully flashed with original firmware 2.3.3 DXJV9 and did the factory reset. However all my sms has gone .
Btw, what is the best root kernel for this firmware?

I'm pretty sure JVO and JV9 are the same in kernel aspects so you should be able to use CF Root 3.2 JVO. The reason for these boot loops might have been because of the rom you were using, if it was a stock one it's no wonder it went into boot loops as Juwe's rom is deodexed so the addon would definitely not work. If it was a deodexed I'm not sure how it could have happened. But really the addon was made for Juwe's rom so unless you were running it it wasn't really the addons fault. Tips for the future: Make a backup in CWM, saves a lot of hassle with odin and saves your stuff. Have a CWM flashable rom on your SD card which saves you needing odin to recover. Hope this helps

Dark knight 2.1

OK, so I installed dark knight 2.1 on my captivate to make it 4.0.4 and I did everything right ( like go into cwm recovery, then wipe data , and cache, but when I want to install the zip for dark knight it won't work... it just says error and installation aborted... any help... ps. I'm running build 16 of ics on my phone

Try re-downloading the ROM and reflash it again...Sometimes a bad download will prevent it from finishing and also what BL are you on?

Unzip the file on your computer and go to /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and open that.
Delete all lines before the first line that says
show_progress("0.15, 1");
Then save and rezip and flash.

Is it that "Error 7"? I remember when I first tried THS Build 15 that zip in their first post for the Error 7 fix helped me out, and after that I could flash every other rom easily because of that little fix, have you tried that?

I had the same problem, I had to flash kk4 and make sure its the one that says repartition, only thing that worked for me

And I tried what u told me and it said installing update, then installation aborted... no error just installation aborted

Do this..RE-Flash the THS ROM B16 and that should put you on ICS 4.0.3 with its partitions already formated. Then go through the procedures of wiping cache and ect.. and then flash DarkKnight.. Try that method and see if you can go that route. If all else fails Odin back to stock and try again. I don't see how you keep getting errors unless there's something not compatible with DarkKnight that its rejecting the install.

I agree. I don't have a problem jumping from this ROM to Dark Knight's. Hmmm? Sounds like a incompatibility issue with a previous install of some kind.

Soft bricked and need help

ok so i obviously didnt think things though before doing this, i have an I9000 which was on GB 2.3.4. i decided to flash semaphore's 2.9.0 kernel and i tried installing nightly's Cm 10.1 rom on my device but to no avail as i keep receiving status 0. now i thought it was a bad download but it wasnt as i was able to extract the zip file without any problems, i then proceeded to download other roms as well to try to see if i could install any of it. im already up 8 hours and i still can seem to install anything on it.. worst thing is i've forgotten what baseband i was on so im stuck with an unusable phone. are there any solutions to this?

You can try to go back to GB via Odin.

is there like a universal rom that i can go back to ? im kinda a noob with flashing samsung roms haha. and i've tried flashing a jw4 stock rom but it doesnt allow me to partition my sd card. and once im done flashing the screen just shows a bunch of messed up colours and then i get into a bootloop.

I always follow this link whenever I want to go back to GB and I don't experience any problem:

Be sure your phone is recognized by your PC. If not, you can install the USB drivers.
Here is a link for the USB drivers:

From GB Rom, you can decide to upgrade to ICS, then to JB.
But the important thing first is to make your phone running in GB with all features functioning normally.
Good luck.

the GB link is broken; well i managed to install a copy of JW4 BB running on 2.3.6 but wifi and physical home button is broken. from there i proceeded to flash with odin a Cm9 kernel, and did a full wipe and everything and then installed a nightly's cm9.1 rom. Problem is it installs successfully but it doesnt boot into the rom, instead it goes back into CWM after reboot.

So i managed to flash CM9.1 and got it to boot, but the home button and the soft press buttons are not working. in addition, phone automatically goes to landscape when i enter settings.

I don't know why link was broken. Can you try again with this link:

It should work well on your phone. You can use this as base in case you want to upgrade to ICS then to JB.

i appreciate your help but the download link leads to me an ad which then just prompts to download a software called ilividsetup.exe. Are there any other links to download that rom? so sorry for the trouble

The rar file seems already removed or the link is down. Sorry about that.

yeah i did. I am able to go back to stock JW4 but I cant go any further than 2.3.6. every single rom that i install only leads to me to a loop back to CWM. so far i've only managed to install nightly's CM9.1 and even that is pretty much unusable for me because soft press buttons and home button doesnt seem to work. looks like im stuck on 2.3.6

Yeah, I have noticed that. All of the firmware links to fileshare sites take you to some other place where you are prompted to download a program called 'download manager'. What's all that about? Anyone know?

After you install the ROM, it just boots back to CWM, right? I had encountered similar problem, unfortunately I do not know if it's thr same. I installed the ROM through CWM, phone booted into CWM based CM10 recovery. Nothing more. Then, I fully wiped the phone again and installed the rom the second time. Then gapps and vuola!

You will need to flash the ROM twice when flashing CM10 as it uses a different partition layout.

Yeah when you first install the ROM via cwm it will reboot itself once especially if youre on an older version of cwm. Thing is I've flashed the ROM 3 times and it still does the same thing which is rebooting itself into cwm. I've just exchanged a new device with the shop I bought it from and I don't think I'm gonna do anything with it anymore and just let it stay on the ROM its on. Though I'm curious about one thing, I managed to get to cm9.1 but the home buttons and the soft press buttons don't work At all. Any idea as to why that happened ?
btw it comes with a preinstalled lidroid rom which is 2.3.4. and its pre rooted; its BB is I9000ZSJPJ, are there any roms out there for this BB?

[How To] CWM Recovery

With the new boot loader unlock it comes time to use a recovery other than safe strap. The easiest way to flash a custom recovery, in this case, clockwordmod recovery, is to simply download ROM Manager and use it to flash the Motorola Photon Q version of CWM Recovery. I flashed it and booted into it and haven't experienced any problems as of yet so for those looking for a custom recovery straight out of the gate, this is for you.

So far, i have installed the cwm for the photon q like you, and made a back up through it. Im going to see if it will restore from it as well. ill keep everyone updated.:good:
:edit: I sucessfully backed up my stock JB rom, wiped everything, and restored everything back and everythings perfect... I dont know what else to try before attempting to flash using the photon CWM. any ideas?

I uses the photon q recovery to backup & restore, and haven't had any issues yet. No ROM flashing for the time being, just haven't tried it yet.

Did you try to go back into CWM and wipe everything again after the boot loops? That sometimes helps when it is boot looping after an install.

So what was your full procedure? I want to try this and try to install CM10 later.
From what I read, you installed the Photon Q CWM, installed Pizza through that, got boot loops, flashed back to stock, then installed Pizza again?

Fastboot was kicking errors and was boot looping into fastboot with firmware flash fail, I found however I could start into AOSPizza in DB mode (Safe Mode) , so I did that, charged up the phone 100% then used RSDLite and Reflashed Stock current firmware, it however does not re-lock the bootloader as some have mentioned might be the case in other post's, from there I started up the phone,turned on usb debug, used "motochopper" to root it, then installed Rom Manager from the market, flashed clockwork to device with the Photo Q CWM , copied AOSPixxaV1.zip ( The ROM ) and GappizzaV1.zip to the Phones internal storage not on the external SD memory card, from there went to clockwork mod on my atrix opened up the program and selected to reboot into recovery, went to the mounts and storage then select Mount System then go back then install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card, then scroll to your rom and select it and it will flash when its complete you will go back and go to reboot system now, it will ask you if you want to bypass stock recovery on boot select it and your phone will reboot into AOSPizza......Have Fun!

Phone broke, Help!

Hi, I recently tried to root my Galaxy Exhibit, but now it's broken, nothing will load, it all force closes. My home, menu and search buttons do not work, I tried to restore it by using factory reset, but that just messed it up more. I plunged it into Samsung Kies, but it won't recognize the device. How can I restore the phone back, unroot, to factory settings.
This is what I did, first I downloaded TWO custom kernel (or roms, idk the difference.) The first one worked like a charm it was the root stock 1.8 but it was too stock, I wanted ICS so, I restored and I put a different rom/kernel in and booted it up, and boom everything is messed up, my kernel version has not changed, I tried using cwm recovery, but it didn't do anything.
Thanks
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app

Well easy fix, in cwm wipe system or ROM 3 times wipe cache/dalvic cache. Then you can flash ICS and gapps, be advised there is no further development for ICS so I would suggest any 4.1 ROMs or even the 4.2 ROMs. Make sure you flash gapps
