CM update issue 7 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy S with 10.1.3
But when I try updating to 10.2.1 it seems to fail
And I can't flash it with CWM. as thats when I get the error 7
Do I need to update CWM? or shall I just try another ROM like MIUI?

You can try to flash Stock 2.3.6 XWJVZ by Odin, root it by CF-Root or Semaphore kernel and then install clean CM10.2 by CWM. I think it should work.

Thanks Pit. I shall give that a go. Need to find the stock ROM now!

For those following this thread
I restored the device to 2.2 Fro-Yo then I flashed it to Gingerbread before installing
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS which rooted and installed the latest CWM recovery
Then installed C-Rom KK 6.6
Device running fine

Best ROM/Kernel

Hello Galaxy S Community, I have just purchased a Galaxy S and its coming with android 2.1 stock. I wanna know, whats the fastest and most stable rom for the Galaxy S and whats the fastest and most stable kernel for the Galaxy S?
Edit: I just updated it to 2.3.3 JVN Via Samsung Kies but I am no noob with odin, i just wanted to update via kies .
For stock rom the best kernel is the Sempahore kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
Form CM7/MIUI you can you the glitch kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041532
There are most of kernels, but for stock rom the semaphore kernel is better

I definately dont wanna stay on stock touchwiz cause i dont like the interface. What do you think about the 4.0.4 roms? Does all the hardware work or is it in alpha/beta? What about ICS Kernels? Should i flash ICS or flash a Gingerbread rom (CM7, etc)? Sorry about all the questions but there are so many roms/kernels that I just have no clue which one to use.
You could try latest CM9 nightly with Semaphore 1.2.2 or latest mnics or Devil kernel.
After 3 or 4 circle battery charges I'd think it will offer to you good performance and good battery life, but I'm supposing it.
Try them and after that tell us about
I hope it helps you!
I m using ics333 no bugs, good ram management, good battery life my first rom after buying galaxy S

do i have to flash semaphore kernel after slimics or does cm9 (or slimics) come with semaphore kernel in it?
i downloaded you ezbase 4. i extracted it and read the guide. if i do this, will it install cwm for gb? im on stock 2.3.3 (jvn).

Flash the ROM with.pit, let it reboot then boot back to download, flash the root kernel, let it reboot and you are on rooted ROM, copy nightly, base, essentials and gapps to sd card, then follow instructions for flashing sequence, after, if you want semaphore download and flash that, make sure you use the s version as slim has the large ram patch

i redownloaded it and did the install procedure and it came up again. (cant open cm9 update). my cwm is cwm 3, might that be the problem? (i did everything like you ezbase guide said)

[Q] Please help for CWM.

I had a stock Gingerbread running on my P1000 and then,after following instructions from threads here and there,I installed a custom rom of CM 9.0.0 RC1 successfully.
During my installation,I flashed the kernel with odin 1.7 to install CWM on my tab.
Now,I want to use Pandroid Android ROM for jellybean in my tab.
My question is do I need to install CWM with odin again to install a new rom?
I did create a backup of my current ROM but i am unsure whether I need to install CWM with odin to proceed the installation of the Pandroid ROM.
Thanks in advance
No, from cm9 just boot to your current cwm and flash the new Rom.

Status 7 - Installation Aborted error after flashing the latest XXLSA JB Leak

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to flash CM10 after I finished playing around with the latest XXLSA JB leak. I also had installed the fixed PhilZ kernel on this ROM. However I am facing the status 7 error when I am trying to install the CM10 zip from my CWM. I attempted search and it said that flashing the original Boot.img should be able to help me. I tried that but still no respite.
I am currently on the XXLS2 leak with PhilZ stock kernel and CWM.

Check if your zip file is corrupted? MD5 ok?
Btw you should post this at Q&A section instead of General.
I had installed the same zip earlier and it had installed fine. So I know that the zip and md5 are perfectly fine.

Did you reboot recovery after flashing Philz Kernel? I had the same problem. I´ve done all wipes, formatet cache, system ect. Then it works. I think the thing is to reboot the recovery after flashing the Kernel!
I tried reboot recovery as well as reboot system. No help. Does not work from stock recovery either.

isn't LRT an ICS Kernel? I am on XXSL2 right now and I have flashed quite a few ROMs using this kernel earlier. This trouble has started after i Installed the XXLSA leak.
As phillz said in the xlsa the new kernel has updated binary hence you are facing that error. Flash a ics safe kernel using odin and then flash your rom.
i have faced the same problem but when i flashed the slim bean rom.it flashed without any error. give it a try it might also work for you

you wont be using LRT kernel to boot your rom with whether it is CM10 or JB. You will just be using it as a tool to wipe and flash from. its safe and more reliable than LSA kernel
In that case I have both PhilZ ICS Kernel and the HydraCore Kernel. Let me give it a shot and let you know.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Flash other kernel(hydra?speedmod?) in current cwm,and then reboot recovery.
Just finished restoring my backup. Flashing HydraCore worked.

I did read actually , tried reflash the cm10 more than 50times and wipe system/cache and dalvik many times but it still didnt work at all, just now i tried it again and guess what it boot into cm10 finally.
If u read, flashing from froyo or GB need to go through da step from CM7 (stock GB) > CM9 (ICS flash twice as phone memory repartition) > CM10/10.1 (JB also flash twice)

well it worked now without flashing cm7 and cm9. By the way, the install guide at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd said The install guide assumes the Galaxy S is running Android 2.3 at the important notes so i just followed the instruction only, flash straight from stock gm to cm10 worked like a charm now.

They really assume that you're running 2.3.6. People have had problems with flashing custom roms from any oter version (especially 2.3.3)

How do I install CWM and keep stock ROM?

I installed a CWM Recovery and it deleted my stock ROM so I decided to go and install PAC ROM which I found the WiFi doesn't work so I used Sony's flashtool to go back to stock ROM.
I want to be able to make a backup of the stock ROM then install another ROM such as CM

I'm not sure what you did, but installing a recovery shouldn't affect your rom.
In any case, XZDualRecovery is what you need.

I think you installed non-supported CWM. Try to download the exact one for your phone and flash it.
