Can't install rom or boot into custom recovery modes* - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed a root kernel using Odin from here and that seemed to go fine. I then installed ROM manager from the Play Store, gave it root access when it prompted, and asked it to restart in clockwerk recovery so I could install a custom ROM. However, it would always boot into the stock recovery mode (version 2e, apparently), even If I tried manually. I then read somewhere online that if I chose the apply sdcard/update.zip option in the stock recovery menu it would go into clockwerk -- and it did. Cool. (Version 2.5.1.2) So from here I tried to install a couple different custom roms, but to no avail. One would give me error Status 0, the other would freeze at 'installing update...' (I left it for a couple hours and it didn't change. It used to give me error status 7 - i think - but i followed a guide to fix that)
I also tried changing to TWRP in rom manager, but i'd still boot into the default recovery mode.
Anyone have any clue? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Stuck in CWM recovery after Doc ROM install, help?

First of all I hope this is in the right place: I did do a search but still couldn't find any help.
Here's my problem:
After getting a (delicious) taste for customisation after rooting and lagfixing, I decided to give custom ROMs a go. Hours of indecision passed and ultimately I settled on Doc and Stefunel's magical ROM. Due to currently being on 2.1, I chose to follow the set of instructions provided on the page for doing so.
All was well up until the very final step. When rebooting the phone through ClockworkMod Recovery, instead passing the Samsung boot screen into the Android system, the phone boots into CWM recovery. I've tried doing another factory reset, and reinstalling the ROM to no avail. I've also tried mounting "/mnt/sdcard" in order to place another ROM to flash from, but I keep getting a message telling me to insert a disk (what happens when you don't mount).
That's pretty much all there is to it. I'd be massively grateful for any help!

If you have made a backup of your apps then flash the JPY with Odin and then make factory reset in recovery mode. Then root with CF Root 1.3 (Or something like that) and flash CWM Recovery. That's what I would do.

from the recovery menu try wipe cache and dalvik, and reboot

[Q] Constant Boot Loops when trying to install new ROMs

I have CWM 4.00.15 installed and I tried to install Ryyu's Rom (Wipe) by putting it on the SD card and rebooting into recovery, then selecting the zip file and hitting apply. When the installation tried to update my kernel, it just froze and rebooted. I was then stuck on a boot loop between the Galaxy S screen and the CyanogenMod boot screen. I know that Ryyu's did not install correctly because the CyanogenMod boot screen was still there. I had to use 3 button recovery and erase cache, davlik cache and user data before trying to install AOSP Essence, but same problem happened. Installation dies and phone keeps rebooting in loops. Finally, gave up and went back to CyanogenMod Nightly and it worked.
Why can't I seem to install any other ROMs besides Cyanogen? I know I am doing something wrong, but not sure what. Any advice/help appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried starting from a clean install?
Try starting with a stock rom and then to activate Cwm flash a modded Kernel.

Hi,
this is what I initially did to get Cyanogen on:
1. Used Superoneclick root to root phone
2. Check that 3 button recovery and download mode works. Recovery version was 3e, so installed superlagfix from android market. This automatically installed ClockworkMod Recovery as well.
3. Use CWM and flashed recovery for Samsung Galaxy S i9000
4. Reboot into recovery and select the CyanogenMod zip file and click apply to install.
To install subsequent ROMs, I just put the zip file on my SD card, reboot into recovery and repeat step 4 above, after clearing cache and user data. It is after that I get stuck on boot loops.
I did do a Nandroid backup before my initial Cyanogen install so I can go back and restore it, but it would be Froyo.
when coming from CM / MIUI - Samsung based ROM
you MUST flash a 3 file firmware with pit and re-partition.
Cyanogen and MIUI use different partitions than samsung ROMs so this is why you are having issues.
Ok, just managed to flash Darky's EE 10.2 using Odin. Not sure if Odin is the ideal way, but it worked. Really enjoying Darky's. Thanks folks!

Phone always boots to recovery mode

That's it!
This was what I did:
- Flash kernel (I've already tried different versions);
- Then it opens recovery mode (CWM or Devil, depending on the flash I did before)
- I install the rom from the "install zip from sdcard";
- After the installation, it says "Installation complete" but it wont restart automatically.
- I do "Rebbot system now" or "Power off";
- When rebooting or powering on the system, it opens the recovery mode again and doesn't boot the rom.
Any idea on how to solve this?
Many thanks in advance.
Flash a stock room with Odin/Heimdall.
What's your current rom and what rom are you trying to flash? It could be that you have the wrong bootloader.

same problem
Guys I have the exact same problem. Flashed 3 different kernels (hardcore-speedmod, CM9-galaxysmtd-Glitch-V14-B5 and Semaphore) so far with the same result. I install a desired ROM (CM10, SlimBean) and it says it is installed successfully.Whether I do "Rebbot system now" or "Power off", it always boots back into recovery, never tries to load Android. I've already formated and wiped everything on this phone and tried several times from scratch. Any idea why it does not even try to load android although it installs successfully? What should I try next?
When it reboots into the Recovery just install ur Rom again.

Issue fixed - the problem was with the bootloader. Once I flashed an original firmware from Samsung, I was then able to install CWM and any ROM I wish after that. Not sure what caused the problem, but this was the solution in my case. Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction!!!

[Q] Installing custom ROM e.g, CARBON, CyanogenMOD, OmniROM, etc in GT-N7000

Last 3-4 days I had been searching all over the net but couldn't make a solution. My GT-N7000 phone is running on stock ROM N7000ODDLSC_N7000DDLS6_INU (4.1.2). I want to install any custom rom like CARBON, CyanogenMOD, OmniROM, etc. So I followed following steps:
1. Rooted my phone with "Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip" from stock recovery.
2. Then faced a lot of difficulty in installing a custom recovery (CWM). (I went through ROM Manager....failed, downloaded recovery zip and img file both and tried to install through recovery and/or adb update....all failed
3. Later on I got a custom CWM recovery (temporary) "recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2 (Temp).zip" and tried the folowing steps:
a. Wipping cashe partition, delvic cache, facory reset for installing new ROM
b. Installing zip from sdcard>select: "omni-4.4.2-20140313-n7000-NIGHTLY.zip"............then its giving status 7 error
4. Also I tried with CWM touch recovery but also same kind of error.
.................can anyone provide me any kind of solution????
Perhaps you need a newer clockwork mod version...

I can.
From stock recovery, install any of these kernels.

Then reboot the phone back into the new recovery. and install this.

Reboot into recovery again, and now install rom.
Keep in mind that the recovery of the galaxy note is build into the kernel.

I can't install any recovery from my stock recovery. It shows E:/Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7). Again the cwm recoveries that are in *.img format requires my phone (GT-N7000) to start in fastboot mode. I don't know how to do that. Again I tried to install recovery from ROM Manager. The latest recovery is "ClockworkMod 6.0.4.3". But when i reboot into recovery....it wont start...after trying for sometime, shut down automatically.

So you didn't do what i said.
Go do it again.
Thankyou Azeazezar I could do it following your directed guide. I installed Omnirom Nightlies.
But now problem is, It's not rooted anymore. So i tried to root from the recovery again with "Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip" package. But now the SuperSU app does not start. It says:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - Consult the relevent forum for your device!"

Error 7, stuck in boot loop, Odin stuck at setup

Being the complete moron I am, I accidentally flashed Cynogenmod 7.2.0 (Stable version) before installing CWM (v4.0.0.9).
This led to the boot loop. I managed to install CWM with great success, however now I receive error 7 when installing any custom ROM
I have tried:
- Cynogenmod
- TheUltimatum(V4.9)[-The'A'Factor] // With this one, I managed to get the furthest, being able to go into the custom GUI installer, pick the options I wanted, however upon installing I still receive error 7.
- PAC
- Toggling script asserts
- Deleting the phone verification feature in the script, I did this to Cynogenmod, however it did not work. I think trying it again might work but I know that if (for example) it is not the correct ROM I think it is, I'll have a nice paper weight.
- Looked at about 30 different pages claiming to have the Gingerbread 2.3.3 download (I'd be happy to just go back to that at this point, even if it was ugly and slow).
- Used Odin to install a custom ROM, I have Kies which has installed several drivers for the phone. I do not know exactly what it says, but I am able to see the phone in Odin, I am able to choose the ROM and press start, however, once I have pressed start I see it do something for a second, then it gets stuck at SetupConnection.
- Wiping data/factory reset
- Wiping cache partition
- Wiping Dalvik cache (I read in several place this does something..)
I have searched the internet far and wide, XDA has been quite the website with the most help ( Thank you guys ) however they all seem to say the same thing for what I am searching for and that does not seem to work. Or maybe, just maybe, I'm stupid... (Probably the latter)
