Hi,
Well i was trying to rooting up my phone for trying out Cynogenmod 9 (ICS 4.0) .....
The files i transferred to the sd card :
1.) recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix
2.) upd_1
As instructed on tutorial guide... first i installed clockwork 5.... its done without any errors.... after that i tried "upd_1", which aborted installation with some "(status 7)" error..... after that i rebooted cell and gone for factory reset..... after that my ace got stucked up on boot loop screen.... cant go any furthur..... same step repeats many many times..... but no result......
I tried 2 guides....
1.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
2.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552695
I'll appreciate any help regarding my boot loop problem.....
Thanks & Regards
Status 7 error relates to errors in updater script,it should not have been ignored like that.Furthermore,upd_1.zip is a root package for GB roms,not ICS roms,so wrong bin file there.Can you get to download mode? Or,atleast recovery?
Same problem
Hi I have the same problem just keeps cycling through the Samsung boot screen on a loop. I can get into Download mode and also I can boot into recovery. I downloaded a stock rom S5830XWKPN_S5830SWKP6_S5830XEUKP1_HOME Then I used odin 4.38 and clicked on OPS and used cooper_v1.0.ops and then clicked on one package and clicked on the zip of the stock rom I downloaded. Everything seemed to go well, but then the phone got stuck on this loop of the Samsung boot screen. I hope that you can help please.
Best regards Wez

hmmm I think he's still in GB. I think he means he's trying to prepare his ace to flash ICS rom cause obviously you can't flash ICS with stock recovery.
as for the op... try using stock recovery and flash upd_1? thats what I did.

Boot into recovery and wipe data.
Make a wipe in standart or full wipe in custom and flash again with odin! It will surely help

Seems like it...Anyway,I dont think the OP even comes here now
I too have this problem!
Is the phone bricked? I have tried using packages from Odin and One Click Unbrik but they both fail, I can get into download mode, but I cannot get into recovery mode. It just says ARM9 or something whenever I try. Is there a solution yet?
i fixed my phone i kept on having boot loops after falshing single packing so i turned the phone off then hold power and home till you come to recovery option wipe cache and i think its factory reset or full wipe so do both wipes then reboot phone WALA my phone was working hope this helps and dont forget to tick thanks button :good:
boot loop with other issues too...
hi there guys. I'm new to this forum and also to flashing...
but anyways I had a good look before flashing my phone but still messed it up...silly me
I tried rooting my phone via SD card(first clockwork mod ace 4 followed by clockwork mod 5 as said in tutorial) then upd_1 and then cm9. But after installing clockwork mod ace 4 I get :" E: failed to mount/ system (invalid argument)" same happens when trying to wipe cache partition/ data/ factory reset.
I can get into android system recovery no problems and also into odin download mode (where it gives you the warning and prompts you to press volume up if you still want to continue. It is also stuck on the samsung screen if I don't press anything.
But when trying to connect the phone to odin in order to rectify what I've done (with the one package methode, either gingerbread or cmw9) odin won't detect my phone. I used several different cables, original samsung cables, changed usb ports (directly off the motherboard) but to no avail.
heimdall will recognise the phone as far as I can see (when you click on detect device it says: "device detected") but I cannot find the right files I need to use for heimdall. I would very much appreciate any help and advice. Please point me in the right direction, show me where to download the correct files and which ones and please bear in mind I'm a noob. put it as plain as bread for me please :good:
just flash clockworkmod 5 and format system and data...
do a complete wipe ...clear cache,, wipe dalvik
then mount system and data and install any of ur modded stock or cm7... enjoy
---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
many roms are pre rooted plus u dont need rooot access to flash rom
to flash CustomROM u dont need to root first our ace simply flash CWM 5 and put your CustomROM flashable .zip to your sdcard and then fullwipe (data,cache,advantage) and done.....
most of CustomROM now can directly flash from previous or Other CustomROM without flash to StockROM first..

Since when do you need to flash cwm before you root? I did it the other way around and no problems at all. I was on 2.3.5

I won't question what you guys are saying since I'm a noob but the tutorial I followed specifically told me to do that. I just get installation aborted every time I try to install recovery clockwork 5...or anything else for that matter. thanks for your help guys
maybe this will give you a better picture of my predicament...
I think I just spotted my error...I believed the model is Samsung galaxy ace S5830 but in fact it's the S5830i. how does that change things for me???thanks for replying

It changes everything. 5830 is completely different from 5830i (they only share the name). Roms and mods for 5830 might brick your phone, so be careful.

lol as if I didn't already find out... but what can I do now? apparently there is no custom mod for the 5830i in ICS or jelly bean.cannot flash a new rom from SD card neither with odin. what am I doning wrong?why won't my pc recognise the phone? (even reinstalled windows and all the phones drivers also tried installing drivers with zadig, after reinstall of windows the phone was finally found there but still no luck for odin)
hey guys thanks I figured it all out I was using the wrong version of odin...got it all sorted now THANK YOU!!!

got a question probably a stupid one, is it possibile that i cant install CM10 rom on my Galaxy s+ coz im trying to install it from the internal sd card (internal phone memory) coz i dont have an external sd card.... when im trying to install it in recovery mod it gives me the following error:
e:Error in /emmc/cm-10-20121125-ivendor-alpha5-ariesve.zip status7 installation aborted ... i guess its becose im trying to install it from the internal sd card but it worked also like this with other roms i tried, so is there a way i can install the rom in odin without having to use the recovery mode or any other way i can solve this problem?

Hi,
not sure, but have you flashed twice?
moreover, check this thread - probably might give you an answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046400

Flash the latest CWM for Galaxy S Plus and try again.
This is how to flash it:
Download Odin Multidownloader 4.43.
Download AriesVE.ops.
Download recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-ariesve.tar.md5.
Than follow these steps:
Turn off the phone and make sure it is disconnected from the PC.
Boot the phone into Download Mode. To do so, press and hold down the Volume Down, Home, and Power buttons until the screen turns on and an Android icon in yellow appears.
Close Samsung Kies Process from Task Manager.
Double-click Odin3 v4.43.exe to open Odin on your PC.
Connect the phone to your PC.
You should see a message that says “Added” in Odin. If not, there might be a problem with your drivers.
Click on the OPS button and select the AriesVE.ops file.
Click the PDA button and select the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-ariesve.tar.md5 file.
Click the Start button to begin installation. Once installation is done, you should see a PASS message. You’re now free to unplug the phone from the PC.
I hope it helps.
@nameh: what do u mean by have u flashed twice? i flashed the stock rom before then i installed the recovery 1.2 with odin and then i installed the broodROM Business Edition v1.2 rom with the recovery mode... now i wanted to try cm10 but im getting this strange error
@educk: i already installed the recovery clockwork and i installed the broodROM Business Edition v1.2 with it and it works but when im trying to install cm10 im getting that error
Mostly you get this error message when you're flashing a Rom with different partition layout from the existing one.
Just flash again the Rom and you will succeed. Sometimes it will take 3 flashes to finish it.
Good luck.

I remember from the day I flashed for the first time (CM9) I received the same error message. When I searched I realized that most troubleshooting says you have to flash twice the same ROM. So you flash it once, then again into recovery mode and flash again (the same ROM).
When I did that everything was solved and working fine.
so basiclly i have to flash the stock rom twice then reinstall the recovery mode 1.2 and try it again? or can i also flash the broodROM Business Edition v1.2 rom again and try if it works?
I would try the second part -

I would say that the problem might be related to different partition scheme CM10 uses. Have you tried the CM9->CM10?

If you a) revert back to stock with odin, then b) get into the stock ROM, you should be able to c) copy the zip files into the phone and d) install them from the recovery, cant you?

Hey guys I have a i9305 and my carrier is Vodafone (Australia) still hasn't released 4.4 yet.. So I've been on 4.3 for a while now, which is pretty disappointing. My mate was telling me that I could get 4.4 if I had CM, the only bad thing is that I've got no clue how to install.. Well I do but I can't find the right guide.. They either lack in the details/information on the install, there outdated or the videos are poorly made..
Could someone help me out and point in the right direction? Maybe leave a link or a video etc..? I also haven't touched or changed anything in my phone it is completely stock.
Thanks guys!
Thing you need:
1)An unlocked galaxy s3 (The I9305 version comes unlocked so dont worry)
2)A rooted galaxy s3 with CWM
3)CM 11 rom file, and GApps for CM 11
Steps:
1)To root and install CWM, go to youtube and search "how to install cwm on galaxy s3" a video by MrW0lf should come up(Im new in XDA so i cant post links, sorry)
2)Get CM 11 and Gapps (Google it, once again i cant post links sorry)
3)Put both files into internel/external SD card
4)Boot into cwm (power off, then press volume down, power and home key at the same time, once you see samsung galaxy s3 logo, let go)
5)Optional: Do a backup in cwm.(go under backup and restore and click backup)
6)wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache(wipe dalvik cache button is under advance)
7)choose install zip from SD card and go to where ever you put the files
8)Flash CM11 first then the Gapps
Hope this helps:good:
You should not get any problems, but if you do, just reply, i will do my best to help

You can find everything you need to know in that topic. You shouldn't flash a 4.4 rom just for the sake of running 4.4 though. 4.3 stock with AGNi or Boeffla kernel is fine.

Vodafone customers in Australia have been waiting for at least 8+ months now for 4.4, I just want it for it's extra features. And yeh I've searched that thread but it doesn't really tell you step by step on how to do it..
Basically just want to be able to use 4.4 without different kernals etc..? Just CM 11 if that's possible.

Australia isn't the only country that has been waiting, 4.4 for the i9305 isn't out anywhere yet. Just download the things in that topic I linked and make sure the rom zip says i9305 and you should be fine. You have already rooted your phone and put on a custom recovery right?

No, if there were then you could just flash an official 4.4 rom onto your phone. Before you can install CM you need to put a custom recovery on your phone. You can do this either by flashing one using Odin / Heimdall or by rooting your phone and then installing rom manager from the play store and having that install CWM for you. I used the latter method on my phone, it's up to you which one you choose though.
I'll explain the latter method since it's the one I used, you have to understand that doing this can break your phone if you don't follow the steps perfectly though. This guide explains how to root your phone http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys3-lte-gti9305-root-android43-jellybean-xxeumkc-530002 . After step 11 you have to download this http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip , unzip it, go to the folder called "common", drag the superuser.apk file onto your phone or ext sd card and install it using "my files" (default samsung file browser). After that, run supersu, let it disable knox and then go to the play store, download rom manager, click install clockworkmod and choose the i9305 one.

you wont brick your device if you install the wrong GApps. If you google "GApps" a link to cyanogenmod wiki would come up, it has to links for the GApps for CM 11

So root, CWM and CM and GApps I should be alright? Would I still be on the 4.3 firmware and then I'll just have to update to 4.4 through the menu? Not sure how that part works.. But I'm starting to understand it a tiny bit.
Sucks how the auto installer works for the S3 but not for the S3 LTE..

1. Root your phone
2. Install CWM using Rom Manager
3. Put CM and Google Apps on your sd or ext sd (the .zips, don't unzip them)
4. Follow the instructions in the first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-official-t2524516
To boot into recovery press power + volume up + home. To flash things you have to navigate using the volume buttons to "install zip", press power and then either choose zip from sdcard (internal) or sdcard1 (external) depending on where you put the .zip files. To wipe things just go back to the main page and there is an option that says wipe data / factory reset. I highly recommend that you make a backup of your phone using CWM on your external SD and backup the efs using the guides in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915 before flashing CM.
After flashing CM your phone will automatically be on 4.4.

4. Follow the instructions in the first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-official-t2524516
To boot into recovery press power + volume up + home. To flash things you have to navigate using the volume buttons to "install zip", press power and then either choose zip from sdcard (internal) or sdcard1 (external) depending on where you put the .zip files. To wipe things just go back to the main page and there is an option that says wipe data / factory reset. I highly recommend that you make a backup of your phone using CWM on your external SD and backup the efs using the guides in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915 before flashing CM.
After flashing CM your phone will automatically be on 4.4.

Too easy mate, would you recommend nightly or a stable version of CM? And also once everythings done can I remove the CM, GApps, CWM files from my sd card? Or do they have to stay in there, because I'm thinking they would.. Cheers.

The stable version is really old so just read through the last pages of that topic I linked and see what people say is a good nightly. You can remove everything except the CWM backup. Although, it is good to leave at least one custom rom on your sd card in case your phone soft bricks while you are out somewhere. Remember to back up your contacts and text messages before wiping your data as well, SMS Backup and Restore is good for the texts and you can just copy your contacts to your sim card. Also, if there are any apps you don't want to lose then make sure to back them up before wiping your data.

So root, CWM and CM and GApps I should be alright? Would I still be on the 4.3 firmware and then I'll just have to update to 4.4 through the menu? Not sure how that part works.. But I'm starting to understand it a tiny bit.
Sucks how the auto installer works for the S3 but not for the S3 LTE..

yeah, you have to flash CM and GApps through CWM
Hi everyone,
I'm new so please be gentle with me -
Have just rooted my Galaxy GT-S5830
Running Gingerbread 2.3.4,
Baseband S5830BVKQB,
Kernel version [email protected]#1,
Build number GINGERBREAD.BVKQ9
using the file for the GT-S5830 from here: ( http://dengadgets.blogspot.co.uk/201...smarphone.html - root_S5830.zip) successfully, copying it to the root folder of the SD card and flashing it from recovery.
I Then tried to flash CWM 4.0.0.9 using the same method (which I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1168417 )
Now when I try and reboot in recovery it crashes at the Galaxy Ace screen, otherwise boots fine, and download mode still accessible - not sure why and am unsure about what to do about it. From reading a fair few Q+A posts I think I might need to flash the phone with stock rom using odin, but:
If I do will that wipe my data? (I have data on the phone that I really don't want to lose, particularly on memo - also can't backup on kies as support say the phone is too old and doesn't have that function available - backing it up is one of the main reasons why i'm going through this in the first place...)
Is there another way if it would wipe the data?
How do I avoid getting back in the same mess when flashing CWM?
If I do flash a stock rom / firmware with odin, does it have to be the one that was on there originally [France (Orange)] or can I use the latest UK one (with Gingerbread 2.3.5)?
I really apologise if this has been answered many times - i can't find it but would be grateful to anyone that can help / point me in the right direction
