Dear friends,
Little background. I was on CM10 stable, but decided to I update to CM10.1 M1, After the update, had no market, however, so I tried to downgrade to CM10 stable and it bricked. So .. back to stock it is! Now I am having trouble getting out of stock. I am not new to flashing, but I never had this kind of a persistent problem.
The short summary of what I get no matter what I try is: Every kernel that is not the stock Eclair kernel has boot-animation messed up (random lines of color on screen), and I cannot enter recovery - I sometimes can boot sometimes cannot.
Steps I have taken
I went back to stock Eclair rom + non-root kernel (LINK).
I rooted (LINK)
But when I tried to update kernel to allow CWM, it bricked my phone. So back to stock, again!
I tried this a few times. Now, the latest attempt, I tried the stock 2.3.5 rom + rooted, CWM kernel (LINK... I get the phone running, but I cannot get into recovery, and no utility that has "reboot to recovery" has managed to get me into recovery.
The plea
All I want is CWM, so I can install what I want. Without it, I am stuck with Odin one-click and Odin flashable packages (Heimdall does not want to work right for me - the drivers are messed up - and trying to fix those brkeas my Odin drivers).
I have no data on the phone at the moment, I can reinstall everything if need be .. but I am out of ideas besides keep trying different roms and kernels until something gives me CWM and I am free again.
I have AT&T GB bootloaders.
thanks for any help, I will try to provide any additional info I can.

Messed up screen = wrong bootloaders. Flash Odin KK4 with bootloaders
From there, follow this link.
Finally, you can get back up on CM10.1 - Btw, you had no market cause you didn't flash their Gapps.
UPDATE .. ugh that took a while:
1) From the master list LINK, wet back to 2.1, I897UCJF6
2) From the same thread installed I897UCKF1 with bootloaders
3) rooted: LINK (I know -not XDA)
4) removed the 3e recovery lock (LINK) - this did not seem to work, but I did do it.
5) installed Speedmod kernel from here LINK - this did not boot, but it did install CWM
6) installed CM10.0 Stable from SD cadr - twice
7) installed gapps
8) just did my first boot to CM10.
This is both a record for myself for later, and for anyone else that may find this useful.

Hi there,
Since gingerbread with most probably be the last update for SGS i would like to install a custom mod.
Now i have been trying to do this (darky 10 RC4) for the past 2 days.
I followed Darky's instructions then i had a problem with the CWM only accepting "edified" script.
So i downloaded rom manger and tried to downgrade ta 2.5 but as soon as i tap on the 2.5 it immediately comes up with an error, "an error occured while flashing your recovery."
this is done on a 2.3.3 JVB SGS with CWM 3 installed (orange text).
Are there alternate routes? maybe downgrading to android 2.2 installing an older version of darky and than upgrading the darky rom?
any help is much appreciated.
thanks
Download the rom CWM-zip and put it in your internal sdcard.
Download some froyo-kernel (yes, froyo) with CWM 2.5. Speedmod for example. Then flash it with Odin repartition and auto-reboot unticked. When the flashing process is completed, pull the battery and then boot to recovery (3 button combo). Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.
thanks, i wil try that.
Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.

just 1 question, why do i need t flash CWM-zip if i am already on CMW 2.5?

Sorry. With CWM-zip I meant the Darky's Rom.zip, which can be flashed through CWM.
it didnt work, u just gave up.
hopefully some new rom update that is edified will show up in a couple of months
Install supercurio hacked kernel, it has recovery 2.5 instead of 3.0.0.5. From there you should be able to install darky's rom. If the new version of his kernel is recovery 3, tell me i'll send the old one just for the purpose.
Hi,
ok last attempt
i flashed ( odin PDA, no pit and no repartition) with this link:
Kernel Download:
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975349
while i was on
PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
rooted with root CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS
and lag fixed with CF-Root-ext4-v1.2
and it forking worked red text 2.5 THANKS A BUNCH!
edit just a problema. it is only booting in CWM.
reattempting this without the lag fix.
2nd attempt with PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
and without lag fix not rooting.
phone stuck looping at booting with strange sound on each boot loop
3rd attempt with rooting, but no lagfix
If you are only rebooting in recovery, did you flash the new kernel, then reboot recovery ? if yes, the easy way to get out, is to reboot in download then reflash the wanted kernel (Since your rom is installed, you can install any kernel (GB of course)) then, it will reboot in recovery again and just reboot system now. This should fix your problem.
edit : Dont forget to get CF-root 3.1 for JVB and not JVK.

ok, i couldnt do that before because i had deleted the rom form the internal SD.
and also thanks for pointing out that i had the wrong root (i worked by you never know if it could case problems)

ps it wasnt stuck the previous time, i was pressing the middle key as the selection while i should have been pressing the power button.
thanks for your help very much appreciated.
if i get some free time i will write at tutorial since i could not the solution.
This isn't development, moved to Q&A
I have an i9000M running UGKG3, rooted. I still have the stock kernel and have no modifications. I'm trying to get a CWM or 2e recovery that will let me install update.zip files that aren't signed.
I have tried kernel after kernel, getting bootloops with every one.
I tried signing the CWM update.zip myself but it only managed to remove one of the two errors I get about it not being signed in 3e Recovery. I tried signing it multiple ways, nothing.
I tried replacing some of the recovery files with Root Explorer, to no avail.
I also tried flashing JVQ and JVR so I could use CF-ROOT, but they didn't even get to the "Galaxy S" boot logo before it looped.
Does anyone have a solution?
Anything that works, really. A signed update.zip, a i9000m compatible kernel, a successful replacement method, anything that will install a usable recovery.
Thanks in advance,
Getinaf
I'm in the same situation as you. I have UGKG3 installed, with the rooted stock kernel via Odin. I have tried almost every custom kernel I can think of, and they all boot loop. I've tried Rom Manager to install CWM, and it doesn't work either. I haven't tried any JVR roms yet, but from what I read they should work, so I'm surprised you're getting bootloops there too.
I guess there is something different with gingerbread compared to froyo that makes the kernel more picky. On froyo I had the stock JL2 rom, and was able to install the speedmod k13e kernel to get CWM without any problems at all.
I guess we'll have to beg and plea for a dev to make a modified KG3 kernel with root and CWM recovery. I would be happy with that. I don't care about lagfixes or any other mods to the kernel. I just want root and CWM
I totally agree, that or I'll try and cook us one. I hear there are tutorials for things like root and cwm. I'm really actually trying to install juwe's smart rom, and for the life of me nothing is working. I'm sure there are more people like us out there too, it will be worth it to find a solution.

I am very tempted to make own kernel. Nice and simple: root, and cwm. That's it. Now to find a tutorial
has anyone figured this out yet?i'm in the same situation...
Just flash this kernel on top of whatever you have, it'll work... trust me!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
I've been running that kernel for months back then when I was still running official Gingerbread KG3 from Bell and it's the best one there is.
Installation steps :
- Download kernel
- Start Odin, make sure Kies' services are all shut down
- Select Kernel as PDA in Odin
- Put phone in download mode
- Connect through USB ... Odin should detect phone
- Hit start, reboot phone
- Enjoy, you're done!
If you have problems like FC after that:
- reboot to recovery
- "wipe cache"
- Advanced menu --> Wipe Dalvik cache
- reboot (be patient, it'll take a few minutes to reconstruct dalvik cache)
- you're done!
Did all this and nOw in a boot loop. Can't reflash as debugging is off. I flashed first tIme frOm mObile Odin ?
What ROM did you have installed when you flashed Semaphore kernel?
Please help

Hi,
Please help... i have samsung i9000 and had stock rooted the phone. Tried to install the above kernel and now the phone is stuck on the bootloop, not booting up... Please help
I've successfully rooted my phone thanks to SuperOneClick, but am not able to figure out how to flash the recovery so that I can use ROM Manager.
I have a stock KB1 image, on an I897 Captivate from AT&T. I'm trying to get the recovery image (currently 3e) set so that I can bypass the signature check, which is what I keep running into.
I installed ROM Manager (the free one, at least until pay day) and tried to use that to flash CWM recovery. Every time I boot into recovery, I run into the confounded signature check.
I have a Superuser app installed from the Market, version 3.0.6(40) and su binary ver 2.3.1-ef.
I'm not typically a dunce, since I've been able to install and run a Linux server at home more than once. But this has got me stumped.
Please let me know what additional information I might need to provide to target guidance.
Read this. Please look at stickies and/or use the search function.
On a personal note, don't waste time on Rom Manager. Its trash for SGS line.
I hadn't seen that list previously. I spent 4 hours last night and three hours today reading stickies and stumbling through search results. That guide for fixing recovery might just be the answer I was looking for.
Is there a different "ROM manager" app that you recommend, or just bare-backing it (which I'm not afraid to do, either)?
Don't bother with it. IMO if you like stock froyo, I recommend just flashing Cognition 4.x.x. Based on KB2 stock looking, but tweaked for speed. CWM is easiest achieved by flashing a kernel with it baked in it.
to skip the recovery crap and rooting and everything else....
take phone out of box. (done)
download and run odin3 flashing util 1.8x Odin3v1.85.zip
boot phone into download mode
flash ginberbread bootloaders http://www.multiupload.com/QQ3LFSRBMD
reboot into download mode
flash custom kernel with CWM built-in pick one in dev section. ANY NOT miui/cm7 kernel in dev section.
reboot into recovery (cwm now!!)
mounts / usb/ copy rom to phone (if not on sdcard already can be done any time before)
cwm flash rom.
** cwm2 kernel for eclair/froyo roms & cwm3/4/5 kernel for gingerbread up
If you goal is to flash a new rom then TRusselo is right. Easier to just flash a kernel with CWM.
Rooted via super 1click and was unable to get clockwork recovery to load said it flashed but would only boot default recovery, soft bricked it 3 times then straight busted it getting the forced upload key press thing had to use USB jig to get download then used Odin to repair firmware some how 3g got switched off. Anyone got any ideas on how to switch back on my guess is key pad access but don't know the code amorphous smart apn from market but don't have the phone yet to try it my friend is gonna bring it this weekend just wanted to find out the best way to switch it back on before I get it back because grs gonna be there this time and I don't want to make him nervous or have him think I'm gonba mess up his phone
Sent from my Evo Running CM7
Stop flashing and read the stickies. If you tried using rom manager or update.zip it wont work unless you fix the 3e recovery issue. Its easier to flash a kernel with CWM baked in to it. For example if you are on froyo Cognition 4.x.x (search for it) kernel should work just fine.
I was running on froyo before I started process, and now I cannot boot up. This is what I did:
First I used the step 1 in the cyanogenmod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide) to install the ClockworkMod Recovery, everything is fine, until the final reboot step. after the ATT screen, the screen get into total unrecognized mode, and the unit will restart, and so on and on, in a loop.
Then I tried to use the speedmod-K13E with GB bootloader one click, and I still can't get into the system, but now it just stuck at the Galaxy S samsung screen, after the ATT screen, and no loop, just stuck.
Any suggesstions? Is there a stock rom I can restore back to using the external sd card? the internal sd card currently only has the cyanogenmod 9 on it. I have going through the different posts for the past two days, got really confused. If someone can point me to a step by step guide, or something similiar, really appericiated.
BTW, the recovery mode has the following:"ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK
I'm on windows 7 32bit. And I donot need to save any data on the phone. It can be wipe clean.
Did u try rebooting into cwm recovery and try to re install the rom again ?
U may need GB bootloaders as well for cm 9 (?? I'm not sure though)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If you still want to run cm9 try flashing a more recent kernel inn recovery. look in the Dev section for glitch kernel or devil kernel (i like devil) they have a more recent version of cwm that should work. I haven't used this method with cm9 but it worked with aokp.

well.. my advice is try reflashing to the stock rom using the one click in this thread [Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection)+[Kernels (Stock & w/ CWM)]+[Modems] UPDATED
(kk4 reccomended)
download one of the odin one click there, and flash your rom back to stock gingerbread, oh yeah, choose the rom without the bootloader.
if that doesn't get you anywhere, please reply to my post.

You should be good to go. You should be on GB bootloaders. Just reflash CM9 in CWM.
Solved.
For some unknown reason, I can net get ODIN to communication with my device, I tried multiple device, and it seems ODIN just does not work.
I used the 3rd post in your link, with Heimdall I successfully installed the KK4 and then I used the cyanogenmod wiki again, this times it works. It seems the old stock rom won't work for the wiki, must use the new stock rom.
Thanks for all the helps, guys.

you're welcome,
glad i can help
Would appreciate if someone could help me with my problem - I had earlier used CF-Root to root and install recovery which went off well, took a nandroid backup and then tried to flash CM9 through recovery. WIthin a few seconds it rebooted, showed the Cyanogenmod splash screen and went back into recovery - only this time it was a newer recovery (6.0.0.2) than what CF-Root had installed. I'm not able to install through zip file and for some reason I am not able to restore from nandroid as it says the md5 does not match. So as of now I am stuck in recovery.
To add to this, I realize that I messed up as the instructions said to update to a GB rom if coming from Froyo, which I did not notice. Any idea what I can do from here? If I can still run through this process can someone point me in the direction of a suitable GB ROM I can install? My end goal is to be on CM9, but right now would just be happy to get back to the stock GB ROM as well.
Flash to the stock firmware again? at SamMobile? That is what I did when my device did not boot up after installing CWM recovery and some rom.
