[Q] Messed up installing CM7.1

I had a stock I9000 with 2.3.4 XXJVQ. I rooted it with CF-ROOT 3.7 using these instructions: androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9000-android-234-xxjvq-firmware/3/ and CF-Root-XX_UNK_JVQ-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar and Odin3 v1.7 from the provided archive.
These worked all right and it also installed CWM 2.0
Then I downloaded CM7.1 stable from here: cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-s and followed the instructions here to install: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_Recovery
I wiped the data, wiped the cache and then selected "Install zip from sdcard" and then I choose the CM7.1 zip file and after a few seconds the phone entered a reboot cycle. For a moment the Cyanomodgen logo and the Samsung logo appeared, then a few lines of text, and then it rebooted and did the same.
I've waited about 10 minutes and nothing changed, and then proceeded to install CF-ROOT again via Odin thinking that it would solve it and revert back to what I had. Boy, was I wrong! Now it just hangs on the Samsung logo screen.
The phone still enters Download mode, so from what I've read it's recoverable, but I'm kinda scared to try anything else without knowing for sure that it would work because I don't want to brick it harder.
Since I'm a new user, the forum won't let me link properly. Sorry.
Any advice? Thanks.

Can you get 3 button recovery again? If you can just reflash cm7
Instead of reflashing the kernel through Odin you should have taken out the battery. Then 3 button comboed back into recovery and reflashed cm7
If you can't get into recovery again reflash a stock rom with odin.. then a kernel then has cwm recovery.. reboot into recovery mode then flash cm7.. and if you get the same boot loop as before pull the battery, 3 button into recovery and flash cm7 again.. then you will be good to go

First time I entered CWM using the CWM app and selecting "reboot into CWM". Is there another combo besides home+vol down+power for dl mode?
Could you recomend a good stock ROM?
Thanks

volume up, home and power will give you recovery when your phone is turned off..
Any stock gingerbread will do when trying to go to cm7

The first time you flash CM7, you might need to flash it twice. AKA
1) Flash once
2) Reboot. Now you are stuck in bootloop.
3) Pull battery. Go into recovery mode again
4) Flash cm7 again
5) Should boot normally now.
It's a common occurrence.

Oops beat me to it

It doesn't go into recovery anymore (home+vol up+power). I'll try to flash a stock ROM with Odin and see how it goes.
Edit1:
For people having this problem. I've flashed using the ROM and instructions here:
androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-i9000-official-gingerbread-235-xfjva-firmware/2/
This is 2.3.5 XXJVT
Edit2:
I've went to this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
and got the proper CF-ROOT for XXJVT and flashed it with Odin3 v1.7
Edit3:
I've installed CM7.1 using the instructions linked in the first post and everything worked out fine. Thanks everybody.

[Q]Going back to GB from ICS, how?

Hi. How to get back from ICS (9.0 beta 10 from Maclaws) to gingerbread? For example XWKTM? I can just flash it with ODIN, or I need first multi file ROM for example XWKPH, and then put XWKTM?
Please help...

No need for that..
U can directly flash via Odin..

After Flash You'll be in a bootloop because of different file systems ... to fix that ... after odin says pass ... remove your phone from pc ... remove his battery, enter recovery mode, to a wipe data factory reset, and wipe cache and reboot the device and you'll be good2go

or u can flash stocklite if im not wrong

format \system from cwm recovery, then you can flash any rom you want directly
no need for odin

If you want to flash an Odin ROM:
Flash as per usual. The phone may now boot-loop. If it does, disconnect the phone from USB and hold the Power button until the phone shuts down. Hold Home+Power together. When the phone lights up, let go of Power but keep holding Home. Eventually, Android recovery 3e will appear. Let go of Home. Use Volume+ and Volume- to highlight wipe /data. Press Home to select that. Choose Yes. Now reboot your phone and set it up.
If you want to flash a CWM ROM:
Go into ClockworkMod recovery. Wipe /data, and choose Yes. Go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Go back out of there and go to mounts and storage. Format /system and choose Yes. Go back to the main page and flash the Gingerbread ZIP of choice. Now reboot your phone and set it up.

[Q] Boot loop CM 10

After updating to cm-10.1-20121231-NIGHTLY i'm having problems with a boot loop. After rebooting the phone keeps hanging after showing the spinning CyanogenMod logo. From this position i cannot get into recovery-mode or download-mode using the 3-buttons combo. Also the computer won't detect the phone. What can i do to solve this problem?

Can you write down the steps you did to update your ROM?

I've updated using the option in "settings"menu and then the "about phone"menu. The possible update were also shown in the notification bar. So i haven't downloaded them and used the recovery-mode.

Try boot into recovery and install zip from sd, navigate to CM update and flash the update again, maybe wipe cache partition and dalvik first. Flashing twice sometimes helps.

Try these:
*Remove battery.Don't switch on your device.Just go to recovery using button combo and wipe dalvik cache,data.etc.
*If you can't go to recovery.Just go to download mode and flash a bootloader via ODIN( PC).

Does the phone boot to the galaxy mini 2 screen? If it boots then its not hard bricked
Put the phone in ODIN mode and reflash again the stock firmware. If it still does not boot and you cant get into recovery, flash again the firmware but this time check re partition. You will need the jena or jenad pit. NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA!!!!!

only wipe data/factory reset & install stock again

No no always when you want to back to the stock ROM you must flash cwm and wipe data/factory and wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache and go to the mounts and storage and wipe everything then go downlaod mode and flash stock then trust me it will be ok

this is probably Samsung bootloader bug, I don't know what's causing that, but you must wipe data before you flash back to stock via Odin

my last idea is: after flashing stock firmware, it boots into recovery, then into system. It is possible to replace the original "recovery.img" with cwm "recovery.img" in the original system package?

Install stock rom with odin
After installing install CWM or TWRP with odin
When the rom boots connect ur phone to pc and in adb do: adb reboot recovery

[Recovery] and [Root] Galaxy Tab 3 Lite T110, CWM, TWRP, Philz Touch

End of support. Thread closed.
If you get stuck in recovery and can't boot into Android, you need to install the stock recovery to get Android to boot.
Stock recovery flashable zip located HERE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
READ THIS POST BEFORE INSTALLING ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY
CWM Recovery 6.0.4.8
(TWRP is in post 3, Philz Touch in post 4)
Click HERE for the latest version.
Please report any bugs here in this thread.
Thank you to everyone who has (and still will) help in testing!!!!

@Unjustified Dev for device and kernel source trees
and of course Koush and the CyanogenMod team
Watch THIS VIDEO tutorial for a step by step visual guide for performing the instructions listed below (thanks @Tomsgt for the video).
Instructions:
1. Download ODIN on your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them). Also need to enable USB debugging.
7. Select "PDA" (or AP) then choose the recovery file you want to flash. (Unzip the file you downloaded so that you have a file named "recovery.tar.md5".)
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if CWM doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 9).
After you get the custom recovery working, you can flash the latest SuperSu zip to get root.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watch this video to learn about the navigation issues and Rainbow Mode: http://youtu.be/iCNdxlNzdBI
If the highlight doesn't move on the recovery menu, the selection actually does change. Go ahead and hit Power to select. If the menu goes blank, just hit Volume Up or Down to get it to reappear.
It appears that the menu navigation issue only happens when you use the button combination to boot into recovery. If you use the Quick Boot app or "adb reboot recovery", it seems to work properly. Only use the 3-button method to boot into recovery.

Flash at own risk!!!!

I do not have a T110, so this recovery has not been tested by me. Please report if it works for you.
Same install instructions as above.
After installation, you may experience slow behavior in recovery if you use the button combination to boot into recovery. Using Quick Boot from the play store or any other software method to boot into recovery will solve this problem.
Internal card gets mounted as "/data/media/0".
Please report any issues here in this thread and be sure to include which recovery you are using.

Did you wipe anything while booted into recovery? I sounds like system or boot was wiped. You may need to flash the stock firmware in Odin.
