[Q] Attempting to install ROM from CWM: the progress bar is not progressing

Hi,
I have I9000 device with the stock Anroid 2.2.
I've installed there CWM 2.5.1.0 by fllashing in some SpeedMod kernel which had the CWM built-in.
When trying to install the Supernexus 3.0 ZIP, it reaches to line "Installing update..." and the progress bar is showed but it doesn't progress at all forever.
What can I do? new CWM? how - it was difficult to find a kernel wtih built-in CWM.

First are you sure Supernexus 3.0 is compatible with i9000?
Officially Supported Devices:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II (i777)
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (jflteatt)
Samsung Galaxy S II (i9100)
Samsung Galaxy S IIG (i9100g)
Samsung Galaxy S III (i9300)
Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9500)
Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE (jfltexx)
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltetmo)
Samsung Galaxy Note (n7000)
Not advisable to jump from 2.2 to 4.3 (you will have efs /IMEI problems with most ROMs) always upgrade progressively so follow this method
after that follow the developers guide of the ROM (meant for i9000) you wish to flash

Maybe you should update to 2.4.6 stock ROM first (Gingerbread)? Would be easier to find kernel with built-in CWM. That's what worked for me.

Yes. I've taken it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159519
I understand from you two that I should do a preogressive update, though I'm not sure which versions to follow. I guess that could be 2.3.6 like in XSENMAN guide, then ICS then the SuperNexus 3.0.
I want to try XSENMAN guide but it is for I9000.
I wasn't accurate enough in my 1st message - I have I9000T.
BTW the 1st link in your guide is refered to the PIT file d/l rather than to Odin SW (but it's easy to find the Odin SW anyway).

First and foremost, the moment you want to Flash, the rule of the thump is you should have a EFS folder backed-up somewhere else ( external SD card or PC or cloud)
The latest ROM for i9000 T is here, choose the one for your region
BUT
if you want to go/upgrade to CM the only way would be to use i9000 ROM with root and CWM as I had given in my earlier post and changing/swap the i9000T modem for your region ,
if your phone is under contract and locked to Network, you may need to unlock before proceeding.

Thanks for mentioning the EFS backup! I'm studying it and will backup it.
Considering my final target is to have SN 3.0 on the phone, I understand the Samsung update ROMs are of no use for me. I have to go through your guide.
As for changing/swap modem and unlocking - is it something I have to do before all the intermediate ROM's I'll install? Or it is better done when I finally have phone installed with the targrt ROM SN 3.0 ?

Modems can be changed at any time, there are ICS and Nexus modems available at My Android Collections, link below but you should note down the current modem details, such that you can return to it, if others don't work too well. Unlocking is more for the SIM card, that you are using , if locked to a particular phone company but you had already rooted it and had no problem, so just go ahead and use the JVU ROM to upgrade and use the CWM to reach your final goal.

I'm exhausted after 10+ hours of searching and trying tuffs.
Every little step in this journey has hurdles
Even using the EFS Pro ends up with "Unable to create archive".
I'll search for it to solve it.
I'm thankful for your help and will get back to it later, I'm too dead now :good:

most likely you have wrong CWM, look here about it .
i9000 has many versions, so you need to specify which version you have since you used a 2.3.5 ROM, look here for basic guide and here for a rescue kit or the link above for solutions.

[Q] can't mount SD card

So I've been having a lot of issues with my Galaxy S for a long time. Freezes, W-Lan constantly dropping, bootloops, etc. and today I started trying to fix it by flashing roms. Some worked better than others. For instance, the stock ROM left me with the same w-lan issue.
I might've made some mistakes so after several tries I went with EZOdin since, apparently, that's a very clean slate to go from.
Now... after the EZOdin flash and no further steps, the W-Lan issue actually seems to be resolved but now (on EZOdin and on later reflash of stock ROM) I ran into a new, even worse, issue: My SD card doesn't mount, so now I cannot use USB Mass storage, cannot take pictures, cannot download other ROMS via ROM Manager if I wanted to, nothing.
And I've been googling this issue for a while, trying several supposed solutions, all with no luck. I don't know what I can do...
Any suggestions?

I just flashed a Kernel with CWM. Mounting /sdcard in recovery doesn't seem to do anything. I must've done something horribly wrong in my earlier tries to fix my other issues. I mean I never had any problems with USB storage or the internet SD or the external one or anything.

I tried the "i9000 Rescue EzBase Rescue and Recovery by nitr8 Full Graphical HOW To and Tutorial download" from that thread using the guide, didn't help. When I go into recovery it says /sdcard is mounted but the problem remains. Same when I unmount it and try to mount from within the settings.
I must've done something terribly wrong at some point, huh?
It's mentioned everywhere that not turning off lag fixes before using Odin can cause problems like this. Now I don't THINK I ever even had any turned on but by now I'm not too sure about that anymore. I think these issues started happening a few flashes after I knew about that and double checked (and there weren't any lagfixes enabled then) but at this point I am really not too sure anymore so let's say that is the cause of this issue; how screwed would I be?

[Q] Kies software problems

Hi all, I know this has been done and dusted but I am having problems with connecting to kies after rooting. I am running standard jelly bean 4.1.2 and is an Australian GT-I9100. I installed the siyah kernal root system and now all I get on kies is "connecting" Windows 7 recognises and I can access the phone via explorer on the PC. The phone after a while comes up with a message that there is no compatible software on the PC, install kies...
I have tried all the so called fixes including formatting the internal SD and memory. The only thing I did before it stopped connecting was the root and running Triangle away (paid version). I have enabled / disabled USB debugging. The only things I haven't tried is a factory reset which I don't really want to do as I am always sceptical that the backup apps will work after to restore everything.
Any help appreciated
Regards Ismael...

Are you only having problems connecting to KIES or your phone cannot connect to PC in USB storage mode too? Basically most solutions for connection problems are mentioned here

Thanks for the reply all the same.

You mentioned its an Australian i9100, is is a branded version ( under contract with any telecom company) as some branded models will only work with KIES MINI and not KIES. Was KIES working before the upgrade ? Normally, when it does not connect , there will be NO message on the phone, so this is quite puzzling indeed.
Additionally KIES will not connect if your phone is not using its stock ROM but the message you seem to get on the phone is odd

well in that case, the easiest way to resolve this, would be to either use your backup if you have any ( always best to backup your working ROM before flashing anything) or flash the Stock ROM for your unit. using Odin3 ( you might lose your data here, so best to copy your entire SD card to your PC, using USB storage mode) or as you mentioned factory reset ( again you can save your data to PC before doing it)
Alternatively you can post this problem in the i9100 forum here to see if any experienced it when flashing that ROM

whenever you want to flash, always best to return to factory reset after removing whatever edits,, lag fixes you may have done. In this case you best return to Gingerbread and start again from the beginning, But first, if your SD card shows up on PC, in USB storage mode.

since you had modified vold.fstab earlier ( meaning you have files and folders that are supposed to be in the Internal SD card moved to the External SD card) and now by flashing a gingerbread it would be using the Internal SD card with similar files in your external SD card, so you need to erase those files , or they may be conflicts. Unless you wish to swap again, it may be wise to format your ext SD card and check. you cannot have similar files on both cards.
