[Q] ROMs Not Flashing After Kernel Flash

Okay, so I have installed Speedrom kernel earlier, then tried to flash ICSSGS, and after it restarted the phone, it went to the Samsung Captivate logo. I reflashed Speedrom via Heimdall. Once it restarted I continued into reflashing ICSSGS from CWM. It continued installing, and I selected the options I wanted (I tried both kernels, to no avail). After it said it was done and restarted I was greeted by the Samsung Captivate logo. I have been stuck here ever since.
I was running I897UCKB2.
I can access download mode, recovery, I can flash new recoveries and new roms. However no roms actually flash. I have searched all over and can not seem to find anyone with exactly the same results. Maybe I am searching the wrong terms.
I have tried Kies, but can not get into the phone, so I can not use it. I have tried odin3 1.7, I have also tried several odin one click setups, all of which connect to the phone, and attempt to install, 2-3 hours later, or even 8 i come back to it still frozen. When I restart the phone I am stuck at the /!\ screen. using the UnBrickable mod, I can get it back into recovery, I can not get it to go any other way besides UnBrickable Mod.
I also can not access ADB or fastboot, it is always waiting on the device.
I am at a complete lost here. Tomorrow I plan on launching Ubuntu and seeing if I can fix the issue.
Does anyone know why the ROMs are ot flashing correctly?
edit: I should add that after attempting to install ICSSGS my phone is no longer recognized at i897 and incapable of installing CM9. After changing the build.prop I am still unable to get it to recognize. As of now attempting to install CM9 installs CWM 5.5 and reboots, and then never does anything.

Try using nexus drivers on ur pc.
Then if u can get into download mode, flash to stock of ur choice and then use TRusselo's Guide, that is stickied in the Q & A forum, to proceed further.
U can use the /!\ screen as a download screen.

I woke up this morning with it still stuck at Firmware upgrade. My computer went to sleep during the night.. Thought I had turned it off. Luckily it looks like when I turned it on, Odin One-Click for 2.1 started up and started flashing it. Phone restarted and actually appears to be doing something.
So I guess Flash Odin Twice?

As for Trusselo's Guide, its the one I followed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Doesnt flash ROMs for me. I tried it again in Ubunutu. It is a no go. I am not as experienced as I'd like to be flashing, but its not a hard process, So I am very unsure as to whats going on that flashes are not working. Well ROM flashes at least, I now am running, Eclair 2.1-update1. I am going to try to flash a new bootloader, the e2 and see if I can maybe get around the issue I am having.

Not sure why things are not going good for u according to TRusselo's Guide...??
Be sure and read plenty before u flash. Know what u r doing and the risks. Newer Stickied Threads in the Captivate Forums r ur friend.

I tried flashing a few more times, and got nothing. I began to give up, but last second tried installing CM9 Nightly, it went through finally. Haven't done anything different. I checked the videos I recorded to see if I had did anything different. Only Difference is flashing the bootloader twice before running CWM to install CM9.
Glad that nightmare is over. Girlfriend should be very excited that it is working. Now if I only had a 100% Sense free and 100% working ICS for my Amaze.
Thanks for your help.

Glad u got it going. Thx for reporting back.

[Q] Galaxy Tab P1000 no reboot

Hi
I need help, if some one could help me was very good.
I upgrade my Galaxy Tab P1000 to Android 4.1.1 via Jelly Bean Sapir ROM (CM10-based) follow the procedure in this link
How to upgrade the Galaxy Tab P1000 to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
Everything went perfectly until the end.
After the reboot re-enter recovery mode, I was doing a little research and found someone who says the tab came in recovery again to install the google app.
Okay I installed the gapps. He returned to boot into recovery, after tried it out of recovery mode but could not.
I opted to try again and get back behind the previously created backup. From then on the tab starts the past 2/2 blocks and only appears on screen Galaxy tab and bottom samsung.
Someone can help me?
Friends I am not well understood in this matter if I have said or done something stupid peoblemas not have to tell me learn and not just because I repeat.
From already thank you

When you first install CM10, you need to flash it multiple times, could be up to 4 times.
The first few just upgrades your cwm/kernel and converts to mtd, etc.
The last one will take the longest, you will see messages about flashing system etc etc.
Only then you flash gapps after the last long flash.

Do you now how can I recover my tablet?
League is not as if there was software.
is dead.

Can you go to download mode?
If so follow overcome links in my signature.

No, the battery died and I went by charging past few hours I went to see if it was loaded and the stack that appears on the screen remained blank but the tablet was light on the buttons ...
No power, no turn off, the tablet is frozen on the screen with the battery.
But even when he entered the recovery mode would not let me access the memory card ...

If you are talking about stock recovery (3e) then don't even bother to look into that.
For now just concentrate on charging the device and boot to download mode.

Strange thing is that I could get into download mode but after finishing the battery has not let me in ...

[Q] HELP! i think i bricked my 5830D!

So I, (like apparently many other 5830D users) was having the bug where it would randomly restart for no apparent reason.
i read that froyo did not have this issue, and figured id give it a shot. i downloaded the ZSKC2 2.2.1 files and loaded them into odin with cooper_v1.0.ops, connected my phone and hit start.
it said it installed everything just fine, but when my phone went to reboot, it didnt.
it flashed a black, blank screen for maybe a second and that was it.
so i tried to go back into download mode on it so i could reinstall the firmware it had before, and i couldnt get it to work.
it would turn on the screen, flash the "downloading..." text for a second, and then turn off the screen. it was weird, because the text was white, not the yellow it always seemed to be. odin recognized my phone for that second, but that was it. once the display turned off, the connection went away. i've tried other usb ports, but no luck
is there any way i can fix this? or is my ace bricked for good? i have no warranty with it because i bought it used.
ive read about a USB jig, will that help?
please, any help at all would mean a lot!

1) You should have taken the bill & the warranty card from the owner you bought this phone.
Coming to the point, it appears to me that there might be a problem with your battery, but I ain't sure about this. Try using a different battery with your phone. Also, are you sure to have used the odin & stock rom for S5830D & not S5830 ? Check these aspects first. If you've got them right, then there'll be either a multi-package or a single package filed stock rom for your device. You can google for the exact odin flashing, try again to boot into download mode again & flash. If your phone fails again to go into the download mode, use the search option here on xda to find out the issue with your phone or the best thing to do would be go to the service centre & tell them that donno what went wrong & this happened.

okay, i tried the battery from my other phone and got it into download mode, i installed the stock rom and it is working again, but the reboot problem is still there!
is there any way to fix that? i have a feeling it might have something to do with the kernel, other roms still reboot and apparently froyo doesnt, the only thing common between all the gingerbread roms that i can think of is the kernel.
i have flashed S5830,T,L,B roms with no issues, but the reboot still occurs. cyanogen hasnt helped either, do you have any clues?

After flashing via odin, if you face a bootloop, reboot into stock recovery & do a factory reset & reboot now. It should work.

..but it is not tuck in a boot loop. its doing what the stock roms did; it'll boot into the rom fine, and you can use it, but once it goes to sleep the phone restarts itself.

If you are having this issue with the froyo, try it out with GB. If the issue prevails, go to service centre. Sorry for repeating the same thing again & again but that's the best I could say of it...

[Q] What to do when I soft brick.

I was installing the DA Statusbar mod. Before I did that I back up my phone using CWM and Titanium Backup.
installed with no problems, I then rebooted. Home screen froze for a second and then showed me that my system.ui crashed. It kept doing that for a good 5 minutes. I decided to go back into CWM and restore my last saved state. I recieved an error installing the back ups (I have made 5 so far).
Now I don't really know what to do. I know I have to basically start from the beginning via flashing stock rom on odin. But how would I go about doing that? I can't seem to find the thread that explains this. =/
Thanks in advanced
SOLUTION HERE

You need to be much more specific. What's your recovery version? How did you backup/restore? Have you done this before? What's the error?

Use the unified tool kit to flash the stock rom.
I strangely cannot find a thread for the 9305 for stock roms =\

The stock firmware can be found on sammobile
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

To shorten the question and answers... If you could still boot to Download mode.
Flash your stock original firmware trhu Odin on your pc or download an exact model for your phone in SamMobile. From there you start a new... Root then re flash the cwm and so on...

If I understand this right you can boot to cwm and you can boot into the phone but the systemui fcs.
You can do a couple things here without having to reflash anything through odin. If you have your original systemui on the phone somewhere you can try and navigate to it with a root explorer then copy it into your system/app reboot and it should be as before, this can be tricky with constant fc's.
If you have a zip which has a systemui in it you can flash that in cwm and should fix the problem.
If you have a custom rom on your phone you can boot into cwm and flash it.
The fact that you have access to cwm and the phone boots but the systemui constantly fc's making the phone unusable means you have more options and quicker ways to get your phone working then going back to scratch and flashing a rom through odin

Solution.
Basically I got stuck at the samsung boot logo for ages.
I am running CWM v5.5.0.4. I have done this before, sorry I wasn't specific, I was trying to multitask. I've attached a screenshot of my phone info for everyone to see.
1. I wiped data/factory reset.
2. Wiped cache partition.
3. Wiped Dalvik Cache
4. Battery Stats
Rebooted, still no luck.
I went into Download mode.
Opened Odin.
Downloaded " Param_Bin_I9305.zip - 612.14 KB" located in this post
Followed the instructions in that post.
rebooted.
Thought it didn't work but my capacitive buttons lit up. SUCCESS!
Saw my homescreen, I thought I would have needed to root again but I managed to get into CWM after rebooting.
I downloaded root checker....I saw that I still had root access.
Installed Pandoriam v6.
Now I am back to normal.
My CWM backup didn't save me, I don't really know why. Maybe I was using it wrong? The thing is It's worked with me in the past, but not on this device.
Is there anyone that could shed light on that issue? I'll try and back it up again. Do I need to repeat the backup more than a few times to register it to the device?

Not sure if this is the right place or not but seems to be a similar situation.
I have a month old S3 LTE that came with 4.1.2 . It has not been rooted or had anything done to it at all.
I found a thread that shows you how to unlock it but was not getting the final option . This I understood was because some of these phones needed to be downgraded .
I saw a procedure using odin and looked for a similar rom on Sammobile but could not see any for Orange UK so picked a random 4.1.1 Rom and flashed it.
This left me with a glowing Samsung boot screen so I tried another ROM and another ROM and finally when giving up choose a current 4.1.2 Rom for EE but that too is stuck at the same place.
Can you help me work out where I am or have been going wrong please?
The Phone is from Orange UK ( EE ) but there was no branding on it .
i also neglected to note the Rom that was on it

if you read the guides you will find out that you need to factory reset after flashing

Unfortunately as the phone is sitting at a glowing Samsung logo, I cannot factory reset. In fact I cannot do anything except keep throwing Roms at it, unless you have any other suggestions?

[Q] Return to Official Firmware

I rooted and installed CWM and Cyanogen 10.1.3 on by brothers Note, GT-N7000. He didnt enjoy it as some unexpected errors were coming up sometimes. Luckily i found the official Rom 4.1.2 N7000DDLSC_INU.zip through sammobile. Now My questions are:-
1. What must i do to completely remove cyanogenmod and clock work recovery.
2. Do i need some additional files like, kernel or bootloader or phone or csc (or will just all this zip to pda will install it)
3. What else should i take care of?
Please advice i want to completely return to official state

nothing much.. just the rom file you downloaded in tar.md5 format. Boot into recovery and factory reset the phone. then boot into download mode and flash the new rom..

But will that remove clock work mod.?
And will my device get recognised in kies?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

Yes

Now there's another panga. The phone received the files properly fine through doing but not installing after booting
Gets shut down at logo. This I tried it 2.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

Kindly elaborate... Did you factory reset prior to using Odin?

Ok.
I went into cwm.
1 I factory reset. Wiped the data
2 wiped catche
3 wiped dalvic catche
4 went into download mode
5 with Odin 1.85 recognised device installed official rom.
The progress was shown in both phone and Odin. Factoryfs, kernel, hidden and catche shown to be successfully copied.
Only the auto reboot was selected
After device restated it shouted the Samsung logo. Without triangle
I thought it was a success.
Then I saw green Android logo with install process which seemed to have successfully completed on the phone.
but then just as the Samsung and a ring revolving screen came up, insured of booting up the device got shut down.
I thought it will reboot ok but it didn't. I tried restating several times but it kept getting shutdown.
I then flashed the official firmware again but this time after Odin transferred all the files on the phone, the green android logo is not able to complete the installation in the middle of it the phone is restating showing the battery charging logo, then the green bot trying to install then again it restarts.
To sum up
I note

Not sure if you have any other strong reason to go back to pure stock. Otherwise the easiest way is to install a stock base custom rom using PhilZ kernel and rom.zip. Sweet rom 10.5 is very good. Fast and stable.
Install purestock rom via odin is a pain and can cause lots of problems due to poor cable connection.

Did you have enough battery before flashing? Power off the phone.. Then connect it to ac charger for couple of hours and then remove the charger and start the phone.

I do believe I had more than 80%on the 1st attempt but I can't say that about this morning.
Any ways I did put it on charge today. Nearly two hours. Since it was looping on the battery and installation thing I put it on download mode. But now after removing from download mode is not even starting on download mode. I feel is further damaged. Any other software to interact with the phone or any other options I might have left
