So Im trying to flash Pixel exp. but after the flash it goes to the boot screen and instantly turns off, after that it turns back on and goes to twrp. Any solution?
Also I noticed that storage is empty. Why? What could be causing this.
Have you wiped data and storage because it's a must when installing custom rom

I just tried to flash Darky's 7.5 ROM [wiped] and bad things happened. I booted into Clockwork Recovery and selected the rom zip file. It looked like everything was going well, but it stopped on 'Copying Files...' and gave some error about line 85. So I tried again with the same result. I rebooted to see what would happen and it boots past the 'S' loading screen and then nothing. The screen remains black and seems to vibrate every few seconds. I suspect the ROM file I had was bad. How can I fix this? I can still boot to recovery. Is there a way to flash a ROM from the external SD card?
Thanks for any help.

You didn't factory reset before flashing.. Mount from CWM to put a different Rom on. ... This question should have been asked in Darkys thread.
i've tried everything on the net, it still keeps continuously looping. It would initially go the home screen and start doing the memory scan and i'd have access to the screen and then all of a sudden restart.
then i did a factory reset by going into the recovery mode, now it loads up and asks me to fill in my details like a new phone, when it reboots again.
what else is left to try, i cant even access my data on the internal sd card as the stupid thing wont stay on long enough to copy my data over through usb. As it keeps booting within 10seconds of loading the home screen.
i can access recovery mode and download mode.
please help
P.S. is this problem with just the galaxy s or all android phones, as it frankly is ******** me off to the point i'm thinking of going back to my candy bar Nokia phones, instead of dealing with this pile of **** every few months.
P.P.S. i am on android gingerbread with voodoo kernal, both of which have been fine for the last few months.

If you have important data on your internal card:
goto recovery mode, then mounts and storage,
connect your usb cable, choose mount usb storage in the recovery (dont choose the unmount usbcard!!).
Now you can access your internal storage.
Also you can try to flash the semaphore kernel from the development section.
After that do a wipe data/factory reset from the recovery.

As fas as rom is concerned try to flash a stock de-odexed rom using odin . Might help
having tried flashing 2.1 (eclair) rom? with pit files
hope this works
cheers
Have you tried recovery/backup and restore and made a backup? Then I would remove external sd and simcard, back to recovery/storage and format the sd card. (this will wipe the internal card AND the external if it is in!!) Then remove battery, boot to download and flash a stock rom using odin, boot the phone, remove batt flash a kernel then flash your custom rom.
thanks guys, didn't know about the mount usb storage thing in recovery mode, at least my stuff is safe.
Did 4-5 factory resets and every time it would stay on for longer before falling into the boot loop. as of last dozen hours or so it is working fine. (hope its not a hardware failure, but merely software, phones nearly out of warranty)
But if it keeps happening again, will take your advice, mount my phone, copy my stuff over and install another ROM.
happy and relieved chap for the moment.
well the boot loop is back, but some more info, this time it seems that whenever i try to turn on wifi or use wifi the boot loop starts. So long as wifi is disabled its fine.
From what i've read it seems to be specific to the three network rom.
anyone know of a stable rom, preferably the most stablest rom without any problems out there, that they can recommend?
or even better, if better the stock default unbranded goodle rom for this phone without any network changes, that wont give me any problems?
all i wanted was a simple fast phone without any problems, might be forced to go to the dark side and buy an apple if this continues.
Before I startת I tried to find this problem also search on Google and here but could not find any information about this problem.
This night I did not put the device to a charger because he had already 90% battery, so I left it disconnected,in the morning I got up I saw the phone is turn off, I tried to turn the phone light up and the ATT screen turn on,
I went and when I came back after 10 minutes I saw that the phone is still stuck on the "Galaxy S" screen.
I removed battery, changed, and it's still stuck.
I'm running version CM7.1,
The phone can get into the recovery menu.
Can anyone help me?
I do not understand in the android system and I don't have any backups of my pictuers...
Any chance to save the phone?
update: I search for a solution, and found on the CWM the option of "Mount USB storage" and I copied my pictures to my computer...
so now my new question is how can I get the phone to turn on again? only format and install new rom?
I can use CM7.2 zip file and install via the recovery menu?
you can go to cwmr and can do a data wipe which will uninstall all your apps and data but will not touch your sdcards
You won't lose your pictures on the sd card. If you are still stuck, try wiping dalvik cache from recovery

I have a similar problem. Like eidoll32, I did not plug in my cappy and when I went to turn it on the next day, I was only able to get a boot loop at the AT&T screen. Currently, I cannot get into recovery, but only download mode.
I originally rooted the phone with the Galaxy_One_Click_Root tool, and installed CyanogenMod 7.1 for the captivate, when CM7.2 went to RC1, I flashed that from CWM, doing a full wipe. Later I wanted to try ICS, so I flashed AOKP - captivatemtd - M5 b30, doing a full wipe (twice).
That's where I was when this happened, and where I am now.
I would have never thought that I could brick my device without... doing something wrong. Here I come, completely helpless at this point.
Earlied today the phone had worked just fine until I turned 3G on, it wouldn't actually turn it on. I tried Aeroplane mode which didn't help, so I held power button and chose to reboot. This is when the problem starts. The phone booted itself successfully through its logo, then Devilkernel logo, and lastly showed the GamerzROM logo (which is actually the Nexus logo) and kept showing this flashing logo forever. Even after 30 minutes.
CWM works just fine.
I noticed that while booting it makes a single loop (Samsung logo -> Devil logo -> Samsung logo -> Devil logo -> Nexus logo).
I've wiped partition cache and dalvik, put the ROM and Gapps on external sd and flashed again. Nothing changed.
I am also worried about the battery - when I plug the charger the device turn on (the way mentioned above) and I have no idea whether it's charging or not, at the moment I am at 24% of battery so it's risky to flash without a charge.
Please, I need some advice to fix this, without loosing my data on the phone. I could flash another ROM, but that obviously means data/factory reset.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: I've just checked in CMW and the phone is actually charging. Battery percentage rose up.
Have you tried to return to stock ROM ?

I've made a nandroid backup to a external SD and wiped data. The phone "amazingly" works, although I've lost all my configuration and data (maybe I'll retrieve it somehow from the backup files).
Must have been corrupted files or something.
Hmmm im running gamerzrom too since first day and i didnt have anything like this.
Did you change/update kernel?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Nope, I didn't touch anything. Just changed the DPI once I flashed the ROM.
Well I couldn't have said a bad word about GamerzROM until yesterday's incident.
Hope it never happens again.
I've flashed rom via TWRP (updated the rom), phone clearly opens to home screen and it restarts all time. Whenever i try to access to any recovery i can not. I do hard restart but it didn't work. The led never turns green and violet or smthng. It always red when strating the phone. Please help me to rescue my phone. :crying:
