Galaxy s won't boot, and clockworkmod is broken

Hi all,
My dad has a galaxy s. Since the stock samsung firmware is pretty bad, I installed darky's ultimate rom v10.2 on his phone, about a week ago. I have a galaxy s2, running miui, and my dad liked the interface.. so he asked me: can I have that too?
So I said, sure! I wiped his phone with clockworkmod, and flashed the miui zip. (After backing up darky's firmware offcourse)
But.. after about 1 hour of usage, he didn't like miui anymore, so he asked me if I could restore to darky's rom... so.. I went to clockworkmod, and hit the restore button. Unfortunately, it gave an error, saying something about "can't restore boot"
I tried it again.. same error.
Luckilly, I had another backup, of the stock rom, before i flashed darky. So I tried to restore that backup..
I don't know what happened, but clockworkmod doesn't work anymore. Everytime i try to do something, it keeps giving errors about unable to mount this, unable to mount that, bla bla bla.
And the phone wont boot..
However, i'm still able to access download mode.
So i think it's possible to restore it completely, but can you guys give me some advice? What should I flash with odin, and can you provide a link?
I'm really hoping for a quick respond because my dad is not happy with his phone being "dead".
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure Miui is not based on something other then samsung? Maybe you should try and flash a stock firmware (e.g. 2.3.4), then root for CWM, and restore that way?

Ok, you have to know:
For MIUI you just need a GB-bootloader as base and you can easily flash MIUI through CWM. But MIUI (and CM7 too) don't use the RFS-filesystem as Samsung-based ROMs (they use MTD/yaffs2 as the Nexus). So you can't restore Darky easily.
But you can do this:
- Reboot into download mode (3-button-combo)
- Flash any Samsung-based stock-FW with Odin
- Flash any kernel which fits your GB-firmware and which includes CWM
- Restore your Darky-backup through CWM

For stock go to http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
Download and follow the steps in the thread, voila, recovery done

If u wanna go back to Darky's u can check Darky's ROM 10.2 Resurrection. But just for a clean install i would flash a stock JVQ first and then install Darky's.

Thanks for the reply's everyone, gonna try it this evening, when i'm home

[Q]A problem in flashing mini(stuck at samsung screen)

I rooted my mini and then reverted back to factory settings(froyo).
Then,
using odin, with TASS_v1.0.ops and tass-recovery-cwm.tar I flashed Clockworkmod.
Using CWM, as said in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167750, I installed update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed-09102011.zip. I wiped data and cache before and after. But still after reboot, My screen is stuck at samsung splash.
possible mistake:- using tass-recovery-cwm.tar on froyo as said in a forum. There, CWM-Froyo.tar was used for flash which I repeated to no vail.
Device is Indian.
I want to have a Cyanogenmod 7 ROM
edit:- Now, if I use tass-recovery-cwm.tar while flashing with odin, I nomore get a recovery screen

Since I couldn't do anything, I just rolled back over to GB again.

To get cmw working you need to have GB. After you can successfully install cm 7 following the guide

Help newbie with installing new ROM

Hi, I'm stuck with installing new rom, so I hope, that you'll help me.
There are steps what I've done:
- followed THIS topic and ROOT the device with ODIN and CF-Root 4.4 file.
- OKAY, I'm rooted, so let's flash the new ROM
- entered in Clockworkmod Recovery and format EVERYTHING ( /data, /system, /cache, /sdcard etc.... just everything) for clear system
- next I load package with ROM and than INSTALLL
and here is the most important part
- when installed ROM gets something like bootloop but with restart - ROM is loading and after about 40 sec its RESTART
- and the same thing over and over again - restart ->loading->restart.... System never start up correctly to the end
- then when I saw that it does not work, I tried go into the CWM, but there was no CWM (!!!) - it was erased (by installing new ROM maybe???)
- so I must flash (old and stock) ROM via ODIN and again root device with CF-Root (with CWM) - that was only functional rom, what I was able to run, and again did this procedure
I tried this way, perhaps with millions of different ROM and EVERY was stucked (restart) while loading.
I think there are some non-deleted files in device, which should be erased (and which cannot be erased by CWM) for clear start of new installed ROM, what do you think?
Would someone please help me? I don't want old Gingerbread with Kies
Thanks for every responce!

Does it say in the thread that you have to flash a custom kernel?? Give.me the link for the thread so I can make sure that you've done everything right

there is a link, but in hypertext THIS, i repost it in full text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
I think, when I've root and CWM, there is no problem and install a new rom will be very least, so not as it seems

Dude this is a kernel not a rom what's the matter with you??:what:
Sent from ma 5assak

please read all my topic - i flash this kernel only for clockworkmod recovery
through CWM I can flash any other rom
through ODIN only stock - cant find any ICS or JB rom which I can flash via ODIN (.tar file)

What variant of i9000 do you have? Are you sure that the rom you are trying to flash is made exactly for your variant?
EDIT: Try Darky ROM, they have an ODIN flashable version called "Resurrection Edition" or something.

I mean give me the link for the Rom you are using not kernel

Samsung Galaxy S I9000, i'm sure 100%. NOT I9001, NOT Samsung Galaxy S2. Tried many roms from Development section for I9000, tried from get.cm etc... always the same result bootloop with restart

I meant I9000 or I9000B or I9000M or I9000T there's a difference between them

I9000 only, checked it several times

Ok so you can flash Darky Rom Resurrection Edition through ODIN with no problem. Its GingerBread if i remember correctly, but it should give you a recovery mode and fully operating phone. From this point you can flash whatever you want.

....And there is one more important thing:
When I have a stock kernel and stock rom from Samsung, cant get into recovery mode - VOLUME UP and POWER non functional. Only when I type: "adb reboot recovery" in terminal.
Just after when I flash a new pre-rooted kernel with CWM, VOLUPE UP and POWER is now functional
k4Z3666: OK, I try and give you an echo I think, when I format everything in CWM, there will be no sign of the earlier system and ALL WILL BE CLEAR

ok, flashing ICS, may need to be done twice, as first flash may bootloop, IF you want to return to stock to get out of this mess, since you are not sure as to where you are now, due to flashing many roms, use any kit from My Android Collections, link below to get you to a booting ROM, than add a kernel with CWM (use EZbaze package with kernels)

that's helped me too thank you

Unable to Boot Note n7000 after Firmware Flashing

Hello XDA,
I Need some help with My galaxy note n7000, its was purchased from Kogan, and was in German when I first got it,
I have not been able to find anything on this Forum yet so;
I Had ICS 4.0.4 installed, Stock, and wanted to try CM9
so after rooting and installing CWM I backed up my device, and flashed the "Safe" CM9 kernal with Odin,
My device now hangs on the Boot up screen, and All I can do is the Download files from Odin, I have tried flashing many different kernels and re installing the Stock Rom (it says leaving CS?), without any Luck,
I am wondering if I need a different Rom, and am currently trying to download the Gingerbread roms in an attempt to roll back,
Any help would be appreciated guys and gals.

did u wipe in cmw when u were in ics??
if yes... sorry to inform u that u may have bricked ur device
try this link to revive ur device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886...
if this also fails u ll have to go to samsung service center to get it repaired...

after flashing CM9 kernel your device will not boot up, its natural , a TW rom will not boot with CM9 kernel
you should have entered recovery with three button treatment and done your wipes and flashed CM9 and gapps.
i dont know at what point you are right now,
try flashing a rootable GB rom with pc odin in download mode, then root it ...then get into recovery and flash CM9 etc etc
if you are bricked your flash will stop at factory fs in pc odin..... (fingers crossed)

A cm9 kernel for TW, of all the poor luck!

[Q] Please Help!. No root, no flash Custom ROM, No Flash Custom Recovery

First, Hi all, thanks for your time and help you can give me.
As the title says, the mini s3 (GT I8190) my sister does not allow me to root, flash a custom rom or flash a recovery. I've wanted to do all this because the phone has problems when trying to turn on wifi or bluethoot, none of the 2 work.
I have attempted all possible tutorials (I think) and none gives me the desired result. I'm no expert on the subject, but I have flashed several previously Smartphone smoothly and always try to follow the tutorial to the letter. I have an S3 i747 with CM Nightly and I have not had trouble making flash, root and others.
Another problem presented by the S3mini is that the computer does not recognize it. No it might be.
Things I've tried:
1) Flash a custom ROM (Maclaw + Odin): It did not work, stayed in bootloop. Nothing worked, It do not take the TWRP recovery.
2) Flash recovery separately Neither worked.
3) Root with Odin: It did not work.
4) Installer CM: I could not download the app for CM and the computer does not recognize the phone.
If you could please give me an idea of what is happening and how I could solve it would be very grateful.

It is a 8190?

Forget completely put the phone model. Yes, it is a GT I8190.

If it had some problems with stock before, maybe it has some borked hardware?
I would try to get TWRP (from novafusion) working before anything else. Where did it go wrong? Maybe try with heimdall - it worked very smoothly for me. If you have it installed, does "heimdall detect" report a device and "heimdall print-pit" print the partition table?

hi. i have na s3 mini too but its lock sim and no root.
doing root and flash it with odin does unlock it??
thanks
