Hi all, this is my first time posting so sorry for asking for help. I am really struggling flashing my i9001 to jelly bean. I have read loads of tutorials but the same thing keeps happening.
I have put clockwork recovery mod on now about 5 times using odin but it always get stuck in the boot loop once it is flashed back to recovery mode.
Then each time it does that i need to reflash back to stock rom and everything is fine again. Anyone any clues to what i am doing wrong.
Edit
Just thought id add that the clockwork mod installs fine and it will boot to stock rom after the initial flash, its only once ive accessed the recovery tool menu it gets stuck in the loop until i reflash back to stock rom
You're just experiencing a simple boot loop. Install CWM again and if you have the boot loop again just follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
That should take care of the bootloop and after that you can move on to JB easily

Greetings Everyone,
I am really stuck with this phone that I am working on right now. I wanted to simply flash a new rom to this phone and I started by rooting the phone which was successful. Once I had done that I downloaded Rom Manager and flashed the recovery mod to the phone. However, It seems that the recovery mod that I had chosen for the P990 was incorrect. As a result when I try to flash any rom or even revert back to my back ups from CWM I simply get the Boot Loop. I am almost convinced that the problem lays with the CWM version that is installed. Therefore, My question is how do I flash a different CWM and I need a step by step help with this since I dont know very much about this process.
All your help is greatly appreciated.
guys a had some really bad time running into this faulty ICS ROM and den by fault bricking it.
then after searching for hours i found this post by forest1971 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26285877for unbricking GNOTE by repatitioning the internal sdcard after finding faulty bricked blocks.
as i could not reboot into recovery.
so i used one of the PIT files provided in his post and flashed it via PC ODIN to revive my bricked GNOTE.
later i was able to get into recovery.
then i thought of flashing STOCK jelly bean DDLSC 4.1.2 ROM and i was able to flash it easily via PC ODIN.
then i phone rebooted and got stuck on samsung jelly bean BOOT screen.
i waited for hours for it to start(pass that boot screen) but all in vain.
SO now i ma stuck at the BOOT screen so can any1 please help me and tell me what to do now??
first try flash safe kernel, use philz kernel, flash it from recovery(.zip) or pc odin(.tar) reboot recovery, and make full wipe..reboot your phone..
if still stuck on bootloop.
maybe TW Rom is to big for you now, try flash Slim Bean
Just make sure you have safe kernel+cwm first.

first of all thanks for replying that fast..
and second thing is that i am not in a bootloop instead my phones just stuck at the samsung BOOT screen.
somehow if i keep rebooting again and again i get to pass that BOOT screen but then my phone would get stuck at "android is upgrading" screen or it pass that too then it would freeze at those startup wizard configuration mostly at the wifi page.
Also i did try to install paranoid 3.15 and had the same result (stuck at bOOT screen) so i think i mean i think (not much of an expert in this kind of stuff) the size is not a problem.
and also i have flashed this safe PHILZ kernel for DDLSC which i am using now.

reboot in download mode if you can and use pc odin to flash the ASOP ROM like supernexus 2.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076697
this may resolve the issue.

yes i can reboot into download mode.
but the thing is that i have flashed this stock DDLSC ROM and i was able to make it run by rebooting system 3-4 times
but later on it would freeze after like 10-20 seconds and then i have to reboot the system again and
the ROM will start but again freezes within 10-20 seconds of startup.
so please help me to get rid of dese freezes.
PS- ill try flashing this supernexus 2 ROM lets see what happens
I had a russian stock 4.1.3 firmware on my i9070 with standard samsung recovery and it was kinda buggy(Google Play wouldn't work) and I decided to flash TWRP (yes, I now realize it couldn't have worked since it is for gingerbread) and I got stuck in boot screen with no recovery. The only solution I could think of is to flash stock JB again, so I downloaded stock Romania(Cosmote) Firmware and tried to flash it with both Odin v1.87(with and without pit file) and v3.07 and Odin gave me a PASS each time, but I am still stuck in boot screen with no recovery.
Clearly I am doing something wrong, and it probably is something I should have read somewhere, but there are so many details that I don't know where to start looking...
Later Edit:
It finally booted! Sorry for the new thread.
I don't know why it wasn't working with the Romanian firmware but I used the Greece one and it works fine.
Hi, my friend is facing same problem. Its showing PASS always.
But, its not booting to custom recovery.
It goes to samsung recovey and says "Downloading"
How you got it cleared? Do u need to wait at that previous screen?

If you are flashing custom recovery, but you still have stock Samsung recovery, you are clearly doing something wrong.
When I flashed custom recovery, I had JellyBean Android installed and the recovery was made to work with Gingerbread, so it wouldn't boot recovery at all.
Since you are still getting the standard Samsung recovery, you haven't flashed the custom recovery correctly.
I suggest you retrace your steps and find some tutorial that could help you with your problem HERE.
When I couldn't access recovery, I just flashed stock JellyBean again with Odin.
Boot loop on i9001, I tried everything but I guess not the right thing yet. I had CM11 installed but wanted to downgrade to Stock Rom gingerbread 2.3.6. I couldn't find any guides in that regard so I went on and with ODIN I flashed the phone to the stock rom, now it boots up forever, then I tried a boot loader fix, flashed that too, nothing. Re-flashed other stock roms, nothing.
It's stuck on a loop boot.
Can you please let me know what I could try? :crying:
Ok, try to re flash cm11 by following the same steps you did the first time you flashed it. Then find a guide to downgrade it to gingercake. Let me know.
Loop boot solved i9001
thanks you just gave me the idea of going to recovery mode and wipe all data and partition. After rebooting, 2.3.6 was there waiting for me.
Thanks me
Hi Guys,
I am using Zues rom 6.4n on my OB. Huexxx included G-key recovery so whenever I got bootloop and if I had Zues Rom Installed, I can easily go in recovery mode.
Strange thing happened today. I have recovery 6.0.1.4. I did take backup of Stock rom first and Installed CM10.2. I found some bugs so rebooted in recovery, restored backup (stock rom). When I restarted my phone, it couldn't even see boot animation. Phone got stuck on LG logo. I had to use smartflash tool to revert back to stock rom with root. That time since I didn't have Zues ROM, G-key recovery didn't work.
Can anyone give me any solution on this? Also, can anyone help me how to create G-key recovery zip file which will help when phone gets stuck in bootloop?
Thanks,
Sumedh
