Weird problem when flashing CM7 Help!

Hi,
I have many times tried to flash CM7, but always happens weird thing.
I have stock 2.3.5 XXJVS with Semaphore 2.5.0 kernel
1.I boot into CWM
2.I wipe cache then wipe data/factory reset then i go advanced and choose wipe Dalvik cache
3.Choose .zip from sd card
4.I choose update-cm7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
5.My phone flashes it
6.It reboots
7.Normal Galaxy S GT-i9000 then Galaxy S
Cyanogen Mod
8.It goes to recovery and posts text very fast then reboots again
9.It repeats everything what it does from section 7.
Im very confused so please help!

Have you tried flashing it again?

redo step 3 and onwards,
sometimes you just need to flash twice.

It seems like a corrupted download... Are you flashing from internal or external? Have you mounted before?

i tried to flash from internal

What version of CWM recovery do you have? Maybe flash a different ROM just to update CWM, and then flash the rom you want?

I had the same, or atleast a similar problem whilst trying to flash CM9. I fixed it by flashing the rom again.
You also might want to redownload the file incase it's corrupt.

i have CWM 5.0.2.7 and i downloaded the CyanogenMod file again so i try to flash it again

Any luck with your efforts this far?

yes, i succesfully installed CM9 about 3 months ago.
I'm not sure which build it was but it was the newest build

[Q] Boot looping

Hey everybody,
I just started roming my 7310 but so far AOKP B38 is the only ROM I can get to boot. Had some issues with apps uninstalling them self so I wanted to downgrade to a more stable version, most likely Galaxian Soup MileStone 5. I've tried several different ROMs and I always get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung logo with the exception build 38. Any ideas what my problem might be?
My process is first Odin flash CWM 5.5.0.4 then adb push an updated CWM for the galaxy tabs I downloaded form there forms but have also tried the regular CWM. Then push the ROM and gapp zips, wipe dalvik, factory reset, and then install zip.
Thanks for any help.

Always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and also wipe dalvik cache in advanced, aaaaand format /system in mounts and storage. All this before flashing any ROM, unless you ODIN. This is how I always do it. Keep in mind Build 39 has its share of issues, so you're better off using an older build in the meantime.

Galaxy S bootloop

I wanted to flash custom rom on my galaxy S. I flashed clean rom, then kernel with CWM, but there is a problem. Everytime I try to flash rom it ends with bootloop. I tried cm7, cm10, rootbox, miui 2.4. Every time is the same. It starts installing (only few secodns), then screen becames brighter, then restart and bootloop. I tried different kernels, roms but still same result.
ps. sorry for my english

Hi, here is a great guide to fix bootloops:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596
Usually, doing factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before and after intalling the ROM should fix the issue though.

I'm doing all necessary wipes, I can recover from bootloop easly but I want flash custom rom and I can't. Istalling zip lasts few second, not few minutes, there is a problem.

Sorry if this is too basic, but are you using the right ROM for your phone?

of course...

I don't know if I'll be able to help you, but can you please list the exact model of your phone just in case? You can see the different variants here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S#Variants

It is just GT-I9000. Now I managed to flash CM7.2 but if I want install CM9 or CM10 im getting bootloop and can't enter recovery mode ;o

Sorry, I can't really give you an answer with that information. If you are following the steps in each ROMs thread, you should have no problems patching as far as I know (someone more knowledgeable than me may say otherwise).
Maybe posting the exact steps you are following would help me or others to find out what the issue is.

I'm following right steps. It's not my first phone. I know how it should be but it isn't. Here are my steps:
Flash stock ROM w/ODIN v1.85 - OK
Flash CF-Root w/ODIN v1.85
Wipe Data/Wipe Cache
Phone now rooted OK
Boot to CWM Recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Select update on SDCard (cm-7.1.0 from CM site)
Flash completes in just a few seconds
Phone reboots automatically
Now stuck in boot loop
Remove battery
Go to CWM again and reflash CM7.1 zip
Now i have CM7
Reboot to recovery, facotry reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
Flash CM9/CM10, finishes in few sec, reboots, then black screen, can't go to recovery mode ;(((
Flashing stock with odin again...and every time is the same, sometimes when I choose CM10 i see info: "Incompatible Partition Layout" so it may be the reason (something with partition, idk)

My phone has never rebooted like that, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I do know I use ODIN v3.07. I also have CWM 6.0.2.7
Best of luck finding a solution, sorry I could no be of more help.

I think CWM6 would help but I can't find this version for cm7

IGNORE ALL LINKS BELOW, they are for the wrong phone
I don't think it matters what CM you have on your phone, you should be able to upgrade CWM from recovery: Maybe not in i9000...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
Doesn't work in i9000 as far as I can tell: You can also try installing TWRP, which I like better than CWM and have in a different device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694617
Finally, and don't take me on this because is just a guess, maybe your bootloader is not working properly? I don't really remember how to do this myself:

You are showing me links to CMW and TWRP for i9001, I have i9000...

You are right, please ignore those links... I do know I patched CWM 6.0.2.7 through ODIN on my phone, so maybe that's the only way. In any case, I'll let you look for the actual links.

Should reflash Philz. Go to wipe/factory reset menu, then choose clean to install rom. Then go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache. Then reflash raw5, then flask rom.

Thanks for idea but I didn't help I flashed stock rom, then Philz then clean to install rom, wipe dalvik cache and the rest is just like from step 3 down. Same issue. I flashed once again stock rom and Philz, but this time installed paranoid android 3+ (pa_n7000-3.99-RC2-20131012). It worked. Maybe I just wait for more kitkat 4.4 based rom releases and then try.

After flash r5 you need to boot into recovery before proceed with lashing rom. Make sure you have done that step.

Don't know, I only remember a old advice from an old friend here, that's it. I never wiped the system, though. Good luck bud
