[Q] Custom ROMs dont work - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
my friend has a Galaxy S Advanced GT-9070, and he had really bad stock ROM which came built in with the phone,
and i wanted to upgrade his ROM for MIUI or whatever..
So I flashed him CWM and tried some ROMs.
The ROMs flashed properly, but the phone got stuck on the boot logo each time I tried to turn it on.
I did wait a long time, about 2 hours, and I do have experience (successful one) with flashing ROMs on other phones.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
Any kind of help will be appreciated. :good: :good:

Give more details.
What CWM, what ROM'S do you flashed, did you wipe all with a clean flash?

You did factory reset? And bad stock rom was? JB or GB? You can't flash JB+ ROMs over GB.

Had the same problem for months due to faulty sd card. Try a different one.

[Q] Some strange problems...

Hey guys,
I've recently been having some weird problems.
Firstly my (external) SD card has been acting really weird, showing as "Blank or corrupt" and unable to format it.
Another problem is now, SMS notifications for the stock app don't work. This happened randomly overnight.
I have tried flashing again, with a wipe, to no avail.
My ROM etc is attached as a screenshot.
If you need any more info just tell me what to put.

Yeah I was thinking of doing that, I'm going to be sending my phone off for repairs soon anyway, so need to put it back to stock anyhow.
I've had a lot of problems with Darky's 10.1 though so i'm gna try stock GB and see if it solves anything.
If not, I'll flash to stock and send it off, see if they replace anything apart from the earpiece xD

Use the new hboot. Perform a full wipe of everything...
Follow the instructions carefully....down to the last word. It should work out just fine. I had installed this rom (perhaps a prior version of it) a few months ago without any issues. So, I do not see any reason why you cannot either.
if you do all above including system wipe and it still hangs, it may just be too many bad blocks. not uncommon for some on sense/desire roms

[Q] (NEED HELP) Phone restart itself into recovery after installing ICS/JB ROM's

Hi Seniors,
This became like a mystery for me..please help me to solve it.
Issue is like this if I install any custom or stock Gingerbread ROMS by phone works like a butter, no issue at all I can say.
But when I install any ICS or JellyBean ROM's it starts creating pain in my neck.
If I am using my phone it never restarts itself but when I lock my phone screen and keep it my pocket M finding that my phone is restarting into recovery mode itself.
Now here comes the strange part...If I play music using any music player and lock my screen it works fine,its not restarting itself ...but once I stop that music player and lock my handset screen in idle mode it goes to recovery in few secs
This only happens if I upgrade to ICS or JellyBean ROM's
One more issue...my wifi works fine If am having GingerBread install on my phone but when I install ICS/JB I cant even start it.
Have tried a lot to get it fixed....but
.....Even I want to taste ICS/JB Rom's like u guys...Please Help Your Rookie.
Thanks & Regards

Hey EwOkie,
Thanks for your courtesy mate...really appreciate it,
So here we go,
I had stock GB 2.3.6 ROM installed on my phone ;ie GT-I9000_XEU_I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_I9000XXJW4.zip,
after that I rooted my phone using CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS,
then I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cashe and installed GamerzRom v11.0 which is a GB ROM,
so far no issue...wifi is working fine,phone is not at all giving me any auto restart issue...its was working like a charm,
then I found ICS_F4k_MOD_v4.0.4_I9000_r3.zip which is an ICS ROM,
I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache,the I installed ICS_F4k_MOD_v4.0.4_I9000_r3.zip using CWM Recovery console,
it was booted fine to home screen...later on I tried connecting my phone using my wifi router I found that WiFi was not switching on at all,
I locked my phone using lock button then after few secs I am finding my phone is restarting itself in recovery mode,
restarted my back to normal and again the same issue,
I ignored it,
Then I downloaded C-RoM Mix v7 Latest 4.2.1.zip in which had a wifi bug fix,
I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache,
I flashed it using clockworkmod recovery and had eactly that same issue which I had on ICS ROM,
for WIFI issue I tried flashing wififix.zip and found no resolution,
my phone went into boot loop of Samsung Logo,
then I flashed it back to original stock rom GB 2.3.6 and my phone started working like the way it should be.
This is the whole story
I moved from GB to ICS and then to JB.
Seriously brother I have no idea why its causing this weird issue...this is why I am looking for help from AndroidXperts on XDA site
Kindly help me to sort it out.
Thanks & Regards

Ok first up thanks for the info....
When doing a complete wipe before installing another rom make sure you wipe all 4 :
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Unless the Developer for the Rom States otherwise.
I know that there are a few ICS Roms that have a lot of bugs please check Info on them before Downloading
Should tell you whats working and whats notto save hassle
As I really only use GB Roms (my own preference)
Might help to try different Modems for your Romas this can help signal/network strength, where do you stay?
Yeah flashing back to 2.3.6 will work all the time as its basically stock.
No matter what Custom Rom I try I always flash JVU 2.3.6 then Root it > then the Custom Rom I want
I never just overwrite it with another Rom...
Hopefully someone with the same Rom as yourself may help as I dont want to give wrong info ....
Or Ask on the Rom site the issue your having with it
If you do need my help ... just ask

Hi EwOkie,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am followed everything what u just mentioned in ur reply allready...but no go
Me & my GF we both have i9000 and I have followed same installation process on both the phones...her phones works like a charm but mine is like an incomplete soul.
One more thing mate,I really dont understand this ......can you tell me what difference it makes to have JVU 2.3.6 or some other version...how exactly its works....u know what I mean to say.
No idea why we use 2.3.6 JVU with CF Root (Kernel for Recovery) we just do ,, suppose its the best to start with before flashing a Custom Rom
So your partners phone works ok and yours doesnt.. did you try using the PIT File and re-partition?
Check my signature at bottom its a HOW TO Guide incase you get lost
As I says I dont have a lot of experience with ICS or JB Roms as the ones i flashed in the past werent as stable and had some bugs in them
Thats why i stuck with GB Roms
plz help me

[Q] Stuck at bootscreen/Failed flash

Hi all,
I know there are a lot of threads about this but I wanted to be doubly sure that I was going to get this right.
I have just got a new Samsung GT-I9305 after my old one died whilst switched off. I was originally going to leave the stock ROM on it and not root it, but the battery life was terrible and it kept rebooting randomly so I had no choice. So I used the Android Unified Toolkit to root it and install a custom recovery (TWRP). I downloaded a Revolution Remix ROM and started to flash it, it then failed and now I'm stuck at the boot screen.
Any help would be awesome!
EDIT!:
I have found the stock firmware for my phone and have flash it via Odin. All is well and I now have a phone that works a lot quicker than before to!
If you have read this thread then many thanks to you!
Thanks,
Storm
Have you tried using Samsung Kies to restore your stock rom. I'm interested too.

Note 5 kernel help.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and I tried my best to find a solution but couldn't hopefully you guys can help me. Here the steps I took to root,flash ROM and kernels on my note 5.
I first installed TWRP recovery and it was successful. I was able to boot my phone. After few hours some apps start to open by themselves so decided to root it again but this time I thought about installing a new ROM as well. Flashed my phone with Crisscross note7 ROM and found out that it erased my OS after digging found out the guy didn't update his post regarding crisscross problems. So I tried installing Minotauros ROM it was successful but now my phone is stuck at the SAMSUNG logo and keeps vibrating occasionally.
Hope you guys can help me get this fixed today. I have no other phone to play with
Edit: I let it boot for almost an hour after installing the ROM for the first time so I don't think I interrupted the process.

Sounds like a kernel issue. Try to find another one. Some kernels aren't patched for the new ux roms

Indeed it was. I thought arter97's kernel did support UX roms but apparently it doesn't. I unzipped Jim2sad's kernel and it worked. Thanks for the help.
P.S. Had to play a lot around to figure this out XD
