Stock firmware problem after Cyanogenmod

A friend of mine suggested that I try Cyanogenmod, so I decided to flash my Galaxy Mini. The first problem was the bootloop, and no matter how many times I wiped the phone, it was always stuck at the Android text. So I decided to try the Honeycomb mod. Same happened. So I decided to flash it with Android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com. At last, it started working. However, Google Play still sees every application as "installed" (but of course they aren't), and when I try to delete from GP, nothing happens. After trying to install other applications, I realized that I cannot install anything from the market. Any idea how I could solve this problem? I would be very grateful.

Yes I did. I used CWM 5.0.2.6. The funny part is that after being turned off 3 times, Google Play started working But if there's a solution to the bootloop problem I would love to hear it. I searched this forum and the internet and nothing, even though I followed a cyanogenmod wiki's guide.

did you wipe two times before and after flashing cyanogenmod rom

How old is your sd card? because same happened to me. I needed to format my sd card.

Thanked accidentally.
Anyway, tour problem is the CWM you used, didnt u see the DONT USE sign in the version 5.0.2.6 thread? 5.0.2.8 would avoided those errors in flashing custom ROMs

My SD card is as old as my phone, about 9 months old.
No, I didn't see the sign, and to be honest, I didn't even know that there was a 5.0.2.8 version. Do you think it would work with that?

try flash cm7 trough this recovery---->forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342190 i think this in the best cmw........

I'm sure it works. 5.0.2.6 had some issues as said in the thread, but 5.0.2.8 or 4.0.0.5 works fine. Try it
PM me anything GT-S5570

So I downloaded the new recovery, flashed it via Odin, and now nothing works. When I enter recovery it says that it can't mount /cache/log and /cache/recovery (I think it says these two). I looked around and found that it could be stuck in a bootloop, but luckily Android loads. However, I can't root my phone due to several errors, so I can't install Cyanogen mod. I think I'll give up now But thanks for all the help!

This happens because you are in stock ROM, this errors are normal.If you want ONLY to root your phone you should use stock recovery. Otherwise you can proceed.

Thanks very much Here is what I did step by step:
I returned to the stock recovery by installing the stock firmware. I rooted the phone with stock recovery. Then I installed CWM recovery 5.2.0.8, but I still get the same error in CWM: it can't mount a few things. I still tried installing Cyanogen without wiping, and of course it's stuck at the boot screen with the Android text (I had a feeling that it wouldn't work if the recovery is not fully operational, so I did not want to lose every contact for nothing again). I read that this problem can be solved by formatting the SDCard, so I tried formatting it with PC and the phone also, but nothing. So now I'm back to the stock firmware and recovery with my phone rooted and no idea how to solve any of the problems.

Flasging CyanogenMod without wipes? Seriously? Thats exactly why it never worked!! CWM cant mount somethings because you were in stock ROM
Use some backup program to backup contacts, apps, whatever and flash cyanogenmod wiping data and cache before and after.

This was just a trial run due to the new CWM recovery. If you read back, I already wrote that I tried wiping both data and cache before and after flashing Cyanogen mod. This "mounting" problem only came up with the new CWM recovery, 5.2.0.8.
The basic Google Apps were all there, since I used a rom from sammobile.com, downloaded programs like poweramp were the ones that did not work.

And you tried wipes using 5.2.0.8 version? The mounting problem happened with me only in this recovery too, maybe because it is updated, different or whatever but I flashed and everything was good. Anyway, stay with stock, it seems better for you.

Yes, I guess I will stay with the stock :/ Though I'll try again when a new CWM recovery and a new Cyanogen mod come out.

Galaxy ACE looks like bricked after installing StockLite v7.1

HELP!!! MY PHONE LOOKS LIKE BRICKED!!! I have a Galaxy Ace rooted with a stock rom installed without carrier customization. Even after uninstalling a few apps the performance did not look like I was supposed to expect. So, after taking a look at XDA developers I found out the StockLite v7.1. So I decided to install it following the procedures exactly as described. After rebooting, Samsung logo appears and after about 7-10 minutes the screen looks like turned on but without any image/logo. Even after waiting several minutes (more than 30 minutes), the screen looks like turned on but neither shows any other image nor the main Android screen. I am afraid I bricked my phone

Wipe data and cache then reboot.
If not the try re-flasing the rom
If you still can't get it to boot then flash stock rom with odin(search xda for a guide)
Sent from the cracked screen of my GALAXY Ace.

As long as u see Samsung logo when it starts up I don't think its bricked. Can you still go into CWM?

No, I am not able to go into CWM anymore, even after fashing a new stock ROM and I was wondering the reason why it is still happening. I just flashed a new stock ROM and I am still not able to go into CWM recovery. My idea was to flash a new stock ROM and try to flash the StockLite again going into the CWM recovery as this ROM only flashes into CWM. Any idea?

If you reflash the stock rom with Odin, it flashes the stock recovery back(you lose CWM).
What chipset does the s5830B have? What frequency did it have on the sticker?
Flash a rom for s5830B from Odin, and don't use a one package use the full one with separate files.

Experiencing Boot Loop... Need some assistance

Intro
Hi guys, I just got my Galaxy Ace from my mom a month ago(She used it for a couple of months but was too "complex" for her that's why she just gave it to me). Anyway, I'm the type of person who wants to explore and unlock the full potential of things. The first thing I did when I received the phone was research about stuff like how to modify it, etc. I was able to successfully root(there's a "super user" icon in the menu) it. Today, I thought it'd be nice to add some metro ui theme on it. So I I downloaded 7 launcher from the play store. But, was not satisfied because it felt like it was only a "skin" and didn't changed the overall feeling of the phone. That's the time I started digging dipper into the realm of Android and came across this thing called "ROM"....
I followed an online guide on how to install roms. First, i downloaded the rom i wanted(it's called "WP7") and placed it at the root of my sd card. Just like what the tutorial suggested(in case something goes wrong), I made a "nandroid" with the use of Clock Work Mod. I then saved a copy of the nandroid into my computer just to be EXTRA safe. Everything seems to be in order so I proceeded with the operation. I accessed the recovery menu, and selected "wipe cache partition" and "wipe data/factory reset". After that, I went to "install zip from sd card" and selected the zip file. Everything went well. After the update, I rebooted the phone and it was successful.
The Problem
I checked the whole new ui design and it was what I expected it to be. But then, I immediately missed the old ui, so i decided to go back to the stock os/kernel/(whatever you guys call it ). I went to the recovery menu and selected "backup and restore". I chose the nandroid I just made through CWM. After loading, I rebooted my phone and bam... this is where my problem is. The Phone's name and model number appears in the screen but it's not loading. I waited for 2 minutes and nothing happened. So I restarted the phone by holding the power button and volume up. I accessed the recovery menu again and examined if I missed a step. After browsing the net, I concluded that I didn't wipe the cache and data before restoring . So I wiped both cache partition and data. I selected the nandroid and then rebooted the phone again. But, the boot loop is still there . I tried it again and again. Wiping, Restoring Rebooting. But the boot loop won't go away.
So I wiped it again but this time, I didn't select the nandroid and instead I went back to the new WP7 rom i just downloaded. My phone didn't do a boot loop and my phone is okay now. I'm stuck with my new rom for about an hour now. I'm starting to get used to it. Anyway, even though things are stable now and i'm on my new rom, I think it's still nice to go back to the phone's original kernel/os . Any ideas on how I can restore back my phone to the original/stock kernel/os without experiencing the boot loop? Or can you give me the causes why I'm experiencing the boot loop? My guess is, I think there's a problem with the nandroid I used. The wp7 rom doesn't experience any boot loop but when it comes to my nandroid, there's a boot loop.
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's too long to read. I just wanted it to be accurate and clear for you guys .

The only way would be flashing through Odin.

Search for your previous ROM around and flash it.
Here's a good TUTORIAL on how to flash ROMs

The only way to flash a stock rom is odin (its a pc program) .
after you flash back to stock, you should Be able to restore your nandroid backup without getting the bootloop
(at least, i'm pretty sure, can someone confirm this?)
Im sure ull find a guide on how to use odin somewhere on xda.

Hey guys. I came across a rom called stocklite and I was able to successfully install it. My new rom seems to speed up my phone and prolong its battery life. All of the bloatware that came with the stock os isn't present this rom. I don't think i'll be returning to the original stock os. So yeah, I appreciate all your help and cheers to everyone

I know you're happy with your current ROM but just an FYI, I went through a similar process trying to unlock a T-Mo Samsung Dart T499 (similar to Mini/Galaxy Ace). I just flashed stock ROM via ODIN and it boot looped on me. After reading this post I went into stock recovery and clear cache partition and factory reset and voila!
So this post actually inspired me a bit! Haha! Thanks!

as already said, the batter way to solve that problem is clean up your device is flash a stock rom with Odin,
but then, you will need remake root, and install a CWM....
good Luck !!

I9001 imei restore

Hello! My friend's phone basically bricked while flashing. I did root first with stock recovery method, then i installed 6.0.1.4 touch cwm, which installed fine, but bootlooped to recovery(normal). I downloaded 6.0.2.6(which appeared as 6.0.2.7 in recovery), transferred it to ext sdcard, then installed it. No more bootloop(after datawipe), but now it said that too little memory, cannot perform this action. I checked it from settings, no memory was mounted? Weird. Well, i did as i promised to my friend, installed remics jb v2, and gapps. Starts fine, incredibly fast compared to stock! Now i take the phone to my friend, and then he puts his sim card in, askes pin code, entered. Now, there is still nothing in signal bars. I check phone info, no imei(000000...00) imei sv 00. I tried to install stock again, nothing. Would using only phone to install recovery and others affect this? Because i have done several flashings with this model and always has worked. But then i had computer in use. Help please, i told him that it has it's own risks, i do not take responsibility. I have no efs backup, that's the problem. It usually takes backup automatically. Thanks!
P.s. Sorry for possible typos, i'm writing this on my tablet.

Try a non-touch one.

Keeps rebooting to cwm after installing CM

Here is what I did with the phone:
- Flashed JVU via odin
- Flashed CF-Root with CWM via odin
- Wipe EVERYTHING
- Flashed semaphore kernel for 4.3 via CWM
- Rebooted to CWM
- Flashed CM 10.2 stable via CWM
- Flashed semaphore again
- Flashed gapps
And now the phone keeps rebooting to CWM everytime I power it on. It never goes to Android, it always boots to CWM. Any ideas?
Of course, i tried to flash CM / semaphore / gapps again but it keeps doing the same. Flashing only CM does not work either

What do you mean exactly? ;_;
By the way it seems to work after flashing a samsung stock ROM but it does the same everytime I try to install CM. And I have done it before, I don't understand this ;_; (I decided to start over again because I was having trouble to downgrade from 4.4)

Have you find a solution? I faced the same problem and after reading half of the day on this forum I managed to find a solution to go back to stock and restore the phone functionality. Now I only have to flash CWM/TWRP and start to flash custom ROMs again
Let me know if you still need help.

The correct procedure to come to any ROM is from GB>ICS>JB>KK. So make sure that you are following the correct procedure
