Hi folks,
I tried updating my S plus to ICS today by following the instructions listed here:
theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-plus-i9001-ice-cream-sandwich-update-install-cyanogenmod-9-cm9-pretty-good-and-working-rom
I read through the instructions and it looked pretty simple. I successfully installed Team Win recovery, performed a backup, wiped, and then installed the CM9 rom.
After the installation, the phone just boots back into Team Win recovery. I tried reverting to the backup, but it still just boots to recovery every time.
Now that I'm stuck in TeamWin recovery, I'm at a loss on what to try next .
Does anyone have any insight on how I can fix the problem?
Thanks,
Evan
Sometimes when you flash new Recovery (usually when replacing stock recovery with modified recovery for the first time) you get stuck at bootloop. It means /boot partition was damaged. After flashing TWRP did you restart your phone and it booted correctly, or did you install everything (TWRP, got backup, wipe and install new ROM) at once?
There is a guide for i9001 bootloops

So is reflashing in Odin what you are suggesting? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
And yes, after I flashed TWRP it booted fine, the 2nd time I went into recovery, performed the backup, wiped, then flashed the rom. I've tried wiping both the cache's with no success. I've also tried reflashing the rom, wiping the cache's, restoring with the backup, wiping cache's again... nothing seems to be working
What would be different if I had installed everything (TWRP, backup, wipe, rom) at the same time?
*Edit* Reflashed through Odin and it worked great! Thanks for the help, I'm a little scared to start messing with the phone again, but ICS is tempting...
Got the rom working with a fresh backup after fixing the bootloop. Thanks again for the link divibyzero, the troubleshooting steps solved the problem, whatever it was, and now its running ICS
These Samsungs S+'s seem to be a little more finiky than my HTC.

Hello guys,
I think have the same problem, this morning I installed the Team Win recovery and after a reboot my phone come into recovery mode and even after a furthr reboot I'm blocked in a bootloop that leads me always on Team Win recovery.
I tried to wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and even a wipe of the system but nothing happen.
I reinstalled rom but without success.
There is a way to fix this through adb?
Advanced thanks for help
Max.

You didn't specify, so I'll assume you have an i9001, if this is not the case, you probably shouldn't follow these instructions
Just reflash the bootloader as explained here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330) and you'll be fine. I had the exact same problem when I had installed CWM on my own device. It's not with adb, but it's not like you have to do a lot of effort to get Odin or anything and it will fix your device.

Hi Evan which release of Odin did you use I am also facing the same problem for the past 28 hours and not been able to resolve it. The problem is thay the Com Port does not pop up basically the phone is not being recognised by the computer.
Please help.

You must properly install Samsung mobile drivers on your PC, kill Samsung Kies process (or even better: uninstall Kies) and enable USB debugging on your phone. Then it will work.

The problem was that I was using Windows 8. I was able to resolve the issue after doing it on Windows XP.
Hi guys.
I was planning to install CM 7.2 on my Galaxy Ace for quite a long time and decided to do it today. I have rooted my phone and installed CWM on it, following steps described on the forum. I have made some backups with CWM and My Backup Root. Everything was fine, I have turned my phone off and back on without any problems. However, after doing the factory reset and clearing cache partition via CWM I cannot get past the bootloop animation, it keeps showing my network logo and Samsung logo. After about 5 minutes I have pulled the battery out and restored the CWM backup, but it didn't help. Any idea of what to do to bring my phone back to life?
Thanks,
Draggy
I have flashed my phone with the latest Samsung Galaxy Ace firmware using Odin, but it didn't help - instead of O2 logo there is only the Samsung animation now. I really don't know what to do.
Try a FULL Odin package, and make sure your phone model is the exact one of the rom you are flashing (5830/5830i etc)
Sent from my Ace on Apocalypse Rom
After flashing the new software I had to take the battery out and then go to the recovery mode and do the factory reset again. I think I now need to root my phone again and install CWM, as I've got the stock recovery now. Thanks for help.

The problem is that I haven't done anything wrong. I followed the steps from the forum and I would have never thought that the bootloop may happen because of factory resetting the phone. Anyway, I'll try and get the CM working tonight. :silly:

You should use a wipe stock ROM when flashing through Odin.
Since struck at logo, battery may be ok, nevertheless as a blind shot, why don't you try with another battery.

after installing the ICS rom, install a safe kernel and do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik.
dont you have any nandroid backups?
i have this problem b4

If you install ICS, the its not safe to do a wipe till you install a safe kernel...
Thanks for the help everyone The phone turned on finally after doing this

having the same issue right now.. i rooted my stock rom, and used speedmod 15 version. This morning the screen started flickering and occasional power offs. Then the battery reading was incorrect - first 60%, then it went to 65%. After a restart it went to 12% after which I just recharged the phone as usual. No problems until this evening again it went bad and couldn't restart. I can however restart in CWM recovery and luckily have a NAND backup and Titanium backup of everything that is important to me.
I also managed to recover the /sdcard partition with adb pull command. Right now the phone will not boot past the startup animation. I already tried CM 10.1 31.12 nightly and also 9.1 stable, and have the exact same issue.
Anyone know how to fix this except for wiping? Because I already wiped everything while trying the CM builds.
First check if the battery is good. Also try a different battery.
Also this time installing the rom, try in cwm, mounts & storage, format/system, format/data, format/cache and then flash the rom

just a quick update, I ran in recovery mode and did an fsck on the 9 and 10 partitions, i got a lot errors that got "fixed" by fsck. After that I just reflashed the CM10.1 nightly and it made it past the boot screen. Not for long though. After restarting it didn't get past the boot screen again.
I gave up yesterday night and just started downloading the latest official GB. This morning I flashed it with odin and it kind of worked, until i got force closes in the wifi settings step of the setup wizard.
Now it boots into android but doesn't get past the wizard screen. I will try flashing the GB rom once more through odin, maybe that fixes some things.
any other suggestions? If it is the battery, would it make any difference if it was plugged into the wall charger while starting the phone?
---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------
another update: I did a factory reset on the GB rom and am using it while connected to the wall charger. It seems to be working OK like this. So I guess I need to find a battery and try to restore my apps and settings
Another update, I ordered a brand new genuine battery and now it seems to work stable again. I just used it as a mp3 player and to surf for a few hours and no instability issues anymore, boots up perfectly.
Original battery was dated november 2011. The new one (also genuine samsung) is from october 2012 I believe.
Hi guys. Recently I have been using my phone and it hit 1% battery then went dead.
I charged it and rebooted it but it was stuck on the samsung logo.
I cleared my cache and dalvic but no luck ):
I also tried to Go back to GB stock and when I did it it works but keeps saying android something as crashed and every time I hit OK, It just popped up again.
I tried using Odin on my PC to go back to ICS but STILL stuck on the logo.
Made a NANDROID backup but still no luck...
Please help me!
are you on ICS now? if so, install philz kernel from recovery , reboot into recovery and perform a wipe data / factory reset. this should boot up the phone. if on GB, just go into recovery and do a factory reset

Hi, I did a factory reset. Although it was my final resort.
Do you think my phone will still be stuck when I recover from NANDROID?
if the nandroid has bad data then it will. but still worth a try as you can do a factory wipe to get booted again

Ok I will give it a try thank you I will report back if anything is gone wrong.
+1 thanks
this happened with me a month ago , i installed an app from store and it asked to reboot my device , when i did so , my note lagged on the shining samsung logo .
All what i did is flashing my note with original stock firmware using Odin , and the device still working perfectly till now ..
** my device version is ICS .
** most devices won't loss their data using this method , 'cuz it's like a software update ..
best of luck

After restoring a backup of cm10.1 the boot animation took longer than normal and then froze. So I tried doing a clean intall of cm10.1.2 and the phone doesn't pass from the boot animation. I've already tried factory resetting, wiping dalvik/cache, flashing boot.img of cm10.1.2 through fastboot after flashing cm10.1.2.zip ... nothing works, always the same result... and if I flash some other cm compatible kernel over the rom, when I reboot the phone doesn't pass the LG logo... So I'm out of ideas for now, and that's why I'm coming here to see if anyone has any other idea of how to revive my (soft) bricked phone...
Thank you for your time
PS - All this happened after trying to flash this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413135 and getting stuck at the LG logo...
PS2 - Okay, it seems that the problem is caused by the fact that I installed cm10.2 and then reverted back to cm10.1... But I have done factory resets, have wiped cache, data, dalvik, and system, all to no good... Don't know where to go from here... Btw, by flashing cm10.2 I can get to the "Android is upgrading - Starting apps" but then it gets stuck in this part and goes no further...
