a few days ago i dropped my galaxy s2 in the toilet(dont laugh) so i went to using my brother's old s plus I9001.
long story short,i tried to upgrade the 2.3.3 to a 4.2.2 Jellybean using this guide : http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/4579...alaxy-s-plus-i9001-android-4.htm#.VAWoGfmSzGA
i searched a few other guides beforehand,most of which stated that i need a rooted phone,so i rooted it using a guide i found on this forum(here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001)
this is everything i did :
1. Connect the Galaxy S Plus to your computer.
2. Unrar the CM 10.1 firmware RAR file you have downloaded
3. Copy the CM 10.1 firmware you have extracted from the unrar file to the SD card of your phone.
4. Turn off the Galaxy S Plus.
5. Reboot the device into Recovery mode. Press Volume up + Home + Power keys simultaneously. You can flash this ROM using the stock recovery or a custom recovery app.
6. In the Recovery mode, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition."
7. Then select "install zip from SD card" and "choose zip from SD card." Search for the firmware you have copied on the device.
8. Select the firmware file and install it.
9. Go back and select "reboot system now."
so everything went well,until i tried rebooting the device.im stuck now at the cyanogenmod logo.basically i have a boot loop isue.
being a noob at these kind of things,my first thought was that my phone had bircked,so i followed an unbricking tutorialobviously,it didnt work.
can you please help me solve this bootloop s**t? :good::good:
First of all flash TWRP (Recovery).
Then download CM 10.2 from here and copy it in your internal SD card.
Boot into Recovery.
Do a Data & Cache wipe and finally flash CM 10.2.
Optionally: Flash Gapps (Google Apps)

try using Aroma File Manager here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 it won't install to your phone, it's a temporary file manager that you flash in recovery.
the problem is that i cant copy anything on my sd card,because my computer doesnt recognize the phone anymore after flashing twrp

Flash CWM Recovery using Odin.
Read this (How to install ODIN Version).
Download the following:
Odin
CWM Recovery
AriesVE.ops
If it still doesn't work I suggest you to go back to stock and repeat the procedure.

Make sure the Samsung USB Drivers are installed. Also uninstall/disable KIES (if it's installed).
i did that but it didnt work.i found out that the computer only recognizes my phone when it's in download mode,so i can only flash through odin.currently trying to flash cwm,but it beats me.currently trying to return to a stock rom,will post updates

Yup!and odin multidownloader recognize the device.I've got into ODIN and selected the ops but i do not know where to get the tar,md rom files. or should i just use odin3?what's the difference anyway?
p/s: i do not know which rom etc it was with before.Read somewhere about PIT but i do not quite get it.I'm in Malaysia.
it's rebooting in cwm recovery.... so you will need to flash bootloader: you cand find in i9001 wiki page at cwm recovery section a link to a single post where you will have all you need to flash bootloader and instructions . Good luck !! :good:

Yup just flash stock rom with ODIN if you cant boot/recover

I'm not sure bumping old topics is a good idea, but if you're having the same issue the same solution would work. Just follow the steps described here.
Hi All,
I've tried to find the answer but cannot see one specific to what I am experiencing.
I followed the guide from wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
Semaphore's ClockworkMod Recovery was not working so I used the file from Replicant's recovery.img as per instructions at bottom of the page.
I followed the instructions. I rooted the phone, but I'm stuck. I can get into the recovery mode but I cannot mount the phone back to the PC so I can put the CM zip file onto the sdcard.
As soon as I turn on the phone, it goes into the CM Recovery menu.
Anyone know how to get the phone to mount to the PC and how I can get a CM image to the phone to install?
Thanks, please help. Need to get this phone working as I want to give it to my daughter to use in Italy.

Thanks, but I figured it out late last night. In recovery mode, there is an option to turn on USB mode. With USB on, the PC will see the phone. I downloaded the CM image (zip) to install. Put this into the root folder. Also downloaded the correct Google App as described in the link and put this into the root of the phone.
Turn off the USB. Leave phone plugged into the pc. With recovery mode, select install zip and select the CM zip file you put onto the root. This will install the CM. It will do this twice to convert the phone file system.
Phone will boot up and your in with CM. Now turn off and boot phone into recovery mode again using 3 button method. Select the Google apps zip file to install. This will install the Google Play and other software. Reboot and setup the phone!
Got the Galaxy S i9000 working again!
Hi,
my old system notified, there is a new update available. So i just clicked on download and install, restart and then - the phone boots only to Clockworkmod instead of system. I dont need to click volume down+power. Only power button and it boots to cwm, never to system. So i decided to reinstall ROM - i choose official lg or cm10.2. So installation from sd card was succesfull, but there is the same problem. My phone boots to CWM instead of system. I see only LG logo and than CWM.
Does anyone know what is the problem? Thank u very much (sorry for my english)

You can't install an OTA update on a rooted phone. Best bet is to re-install stock from KDZ if you want stock, then follow the OTA upgrade.
When i have that sort of problems then: try to boot it in recovery yourself and then click on reboot

Did you intentionally ignore my post, or was it accidental? Carrying out an OTA on a device that you have in any way modified the software on (root or recovery) runs a high risk of complications as the OTA doesn't find what it is expecting to.
Oh good to know, thanks. I dont know how to install KDZ, cuz i cant connect my mobile with PC(usb driver installed, but mobile can't be found). I can only install something from sd card.

Hi , i have a galaxy s gt-i9000m (canadian version of a gt-i9000) that stop working yesterday for no apparent reason (nothing new installed), it always reboot with the S logo. I can enter download or recovery mode. Is there a way to backup all files from phones via a computer. When i connect it to computer it sees 2 removable media disk but they show them as empty. Samsung Kies doesn't connect, tell me to change to usb debugging, but i cant since it dont boot.
i don't really care about phone (already have a new one to replace it), but i must backup files that are on phone, (over 8gb of stuff!)
phone is rooted and on ANDROID 2.3.
What can i try?
You say you can enter into recovery mode so try this if your new phone is an Android, make a nandroid backup of your old phone then put sdcard from your old phone into new phone then install "AppExtractor" free from market, extract files to new phone. not sure if it will work but you could try.

how do i do the nandroid backup in recovery mode?
In recovery mode use the up/down volume keys to scroll options and power button to select options.

I would try to delete as much (wipe) as possible from your phone to make it work again. Wiping doesn't remove your recovery. Or flash another recovery tar if you can get into download mode.
install odin on windows pc: http://depositfiles.com/files/m2n77b1vc
install samsung drivers on windows pc: http://developer.samsung.com/technic...000000117#none
get cyanogenmod 12.1: http://novafusion.pl/
get the odin version
when mobile powered off, hold volume down, home and power button. You get the downloadmode option on your screen, let go all buttons and press volume up button.
Now connect the phone to your pc with the usb cable and let odin find it.
Load the tar file in the downloaded zip file as pda and flash it.
If you want clockwork mod, install this as tar, also in pda flash option: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526789241
If your samsung doesn't work but you can still get into download mode, view next page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2122548
and install a fail safe firmware according to your type of phone.
What I don't understand is why the flashing went wrong, I did everything right, at least I think. Wipe everything and flash the rom, why didn't it work?
