Galaxy stuck on Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen

Hello All,
I recently upgraded my GT-I9000 to CWM10 JellyBean 4.1.2 a week ago and all was fine until last night when I was trying to follow one of the youtube videos to increase the internal memory on my phone. I tried it on my phone and for some reason my phone was stuck in the CWM recovery mode. When I rebooted, the phone was going back into recovery mode. I was panicking and in that rush, I tried doing a reset, clear data, clear cache, dalvik and all other stuff on the recovery mode menu. When nothing worked, I tried re-flashing the JB 4.1.2 from recovery mode. This flashing was erroring after 30% and was returning into recovery mode again. I also tried to use odin to flash the Android 2.3 which didn't work and now it goes into the CWM Recovery v3.0.0.5
Could someone please let me know how to get my phone back to work.
I would be really thankful to you all.
Thanks
First of all you have posted in the wrong section. This is only for development.
To get back the recovery, flash http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufe....1_Jelly_Helly_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20121101.tar in Odin from computer and then flash the Hellybean zip again from the phone.
That is what you should do.
PS: Download the Hellybean zip again. The one that you have now might be corrupted. You need to go into Download mode with 3 Button Combo to use Odin.

Apologies for posting in the wrong section. Could the mod's please move this thread to the correct section please.
Thanks Trak-X the first half of your adivse worked for me (the ODIN bit) and I am now able to get into CWM recovery. I tried reflashing the Hellybean zip but it kept erroring at 10%. Error message is shown below
Installing HellyBean
GSM instllation
assert failed: run_program("/tmp/udater.sh")==0
I also downloaded a new Hellybean zip and tried reflashing with no luck and same error message. Pls advise on how I can go further now. I have a 2.3.6 rom downloaded, shall I flash this first to see if it works and if it does, I can flash Hellybean later.
Fixed!!!

I installed the google apps file and for some reason the phone booted properly this time. Don't know how gapps installation fixed this issue.
I hope someone can help me.
I cannot enter in recovery. Just in Download mode. But my PC doesn't recognise my phone so I can't flash in Odin.
Don't know what to do!?

Last sentence: What are the error messages in PC Odin? What Rom did you try to flash then?
Download a stock Rom and install it with PC Odin. If not successfull please post some details.
I remember having this one time myself: formatting /system in recovery with rebooting. After a doctor took care of my immediate heart attack I installed my GB stock Rom with PC Odin and everything (including frequency of my heart beats) was ok

What Do you mean by "keeps restarting" Bro, Is it stuck on the bootanimation?
If your phone doesn't get pass boot animation and reboots, then there's only one way to fix it. Your personal files and data would be gone but I'm sure it's backed up with your google account. Watch this and follow the instructions. Installing a stock firmware using ODIN. Hope it helped

Are you currently using a stock rom or a custom rom? Anyway you can solve this problem by just flashing back the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode (hold power+ Home button) and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace. Just flash them from the recovery mode (choose "install zip from sdcard" and then select the zip file from sdcard).

The Apocalypse you are referring to is the custom rom that is installed in your phone. When you bought you phone, you had Samsung's version of Froyo/ Gingerbread installed in your phone. That rom is called stock rom. Custom roms are build by developers using cyanogen mod sources. Now you keep having restarts and since clearing data and cache from CWM didn't solve it, I suggest you install another rom. Now this is where you have to make a choice. You can either install a stock rom (stable, nice battery backup, etc) or a custom rom (fast, performance oriented, customizable, etc). Before you do install another rom, backup all app data using Titanium Backup. If you choose Stock rom, then follow my previous post on how to install stock rom on your phone. Now if you choose custom rom, then first we need to update CWM 4 to CWM 5.
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Download the CWM 5 zip file to SD Card and reboot your phone to recovery mode (Power off then hold Home+ Power button). Now choose "Install zip from SD Card" and choose the zip file. Done! You have successfully installed CWM 5. Now time for you to install a new custom rom. Refer the following guide for all the custom roms for our device,
Know your Device:Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 ~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST
For time being use any Gingerbread roms. Download it to SD Card and then reboot to recovery mode. Now choose Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache, Wipe battery stats, Mounts & Storage> Format /system. Now select "Install zip from SD Card" and choose your rom zip file. Reboot and you can use your new rom. Whenever you want to install any new custom rom, just follow the same procedure. Now as for the low internal memory problem, we might have a solution. But the catch is it requires a rom with init.d support (something all custom roms have and stock roms doesn't ) and an ext partition on SD Card. First backup all the SD Card data. Now go to CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (Max 1GB, anymore and system will lag)> Swap (0MB) and wait for it to say "Partitioning done". Now download and place CronMod script (try INT2EXT+ as it is the most stable of all) to SD Card. Now again go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system then flash the Cronmod zip from CWM. Reboot and you are good to go. Now go to Settings>Storage to see the newly increased internal memory. Here is the link,
CronMod-INT2EXT
Hope I Helped
Wrong section mates!!
First of all, read the forum rules in order to post your questions correctly...
There's a great Q&A Thread please use it to ask for help, this the General Thread, we must all contribute to maintaining our forum in order.
Next time, post it in the correct section, thank you for understanding it
Follow @mahithm instructions to flash a fresh STOCK rom and the next tine DON'T USE CWM 4x, it's outdated, there are several recovery systems based on CWM 5x, they're the most stable for a daily usage and they're required to flash most of the custom roms

Okay, the fact you can go to download mode and CWM is excellent. The factory reset and wiping wont fix as their isn't an OS there due to it not installing properly. Just download another ROM to your SD as your current one appears to have an error and flash through CWM.
If that fails use odin and download mode to flash stock ROM on to your phone for a usable device

To be honest its pretty much a generic tutorial for all, just download the KitKat ROM for your phone allong with its Gapps.
Now download the CWM verson for your phone and flash it like before
Once flashed boot your phone up to make sure it works, then copy the ROM and Gapps across. Now boot back into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then select the wipe data/factory reset option and the wipe cache options. Then flash the ROM and Gapps and your phone should have Kitkat

[Q] Can't Install KitKat on s3 mini HELP!

Here are two posts I posted on another site. If someone could help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
Post 1
I have a Galaxy s3 mini GT-I8190L and I tried rooting and installing Kitkat but I've been having some issues.
Here is what I did:
Downloaded Odin and Kies (for the phone drivers, Kies was closed while using Odin)
Downloaded CMW Recovery and a root.zip file
Flashed CMW and placed the root.zip on extSD card.
In Recovery mode, backed up system then installed the root file.
Downloaded Root Checker and it said I have root.
Then downloaded slim4.4_golden.nova.20140630.zip and a gapps file and placed them both on the extSD.
Using Recovery (Vol Up+Home+Power), wiped data and davika (whatever it's called) and then flashed slim4 file. But I got an error.
I then tried cm11.0_golden.nova.20140823.zip which went smoothly and then gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip but in middle it stopped with an error and said something about process 7 (I think).
Anyone know what I should do? Would it be better to go through Odin instead of Recovery (using Odin compatible files, of course)?​
Post 2
Changed to TWRP2
Backed up all data then did a full format incl. chache and davlik.
Then installed th SlimKAT file and gApps.
(I did NOT format chache after install)
Rebooted pone and saw Galaxy sIII mini screen like normal then cam SlimKAT logo (replacing Samsung's) but it just remained on the flashing SlimKAT logo.
I removed the battery and restored the phone using TWRP Recovery.
I then downloaded Nova Fusion's CM11 for s3 mini and tried flashing it but I got a Failed message. This happened with a number of Nova's files, including the latest (cm11.0_goldem.nova.20140830.zip)
I tried downloading the Odin version but for some reason it keeps stopping in middle (and I don't have unlimited internet and can't keep downloading files).
Didn't think this should be so hard...
Any help would be appreciated!​
Please note, during part of this time I was unable to get into DOWNLOAD or RECOVERY modes. I ended up removing the battery and that helped, but for only one time. I had to remove the battery a number of times to get into these modes.
If you need more info, I will try to give it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
