Hi
I have a rooted Nexus S and have decided to go back to Stock from the ZuluZulu ROM I was using. I downloaded the Stock 2.3.3 and installed through ROM Manager. I wiped cache and dalvik.
On reboot the device was back to standard but it will not let me download all my apps. It has them all attempting to download and then after a while I get a batch noitification saying that the app install was unsuccessful.
Does anyone know what has happened and how it can be fixed?
I have tried to re-download Stock 2.3.3 from other sources but I don't know if the links I am using are broken but they say download unsuccessful.
Network signal is 3G and Wifi has been connected but with the same result...
Hope to hear from someone with the answers soon
Sometimes mass downloading, eg after an auto restore, will cause all apps to fail either installing or downloading. Try one by one.
Delete market cache. Make sure you wiped dalvik/cache at the right time.
If that doesn't fix it flash stock 2.3.4 in zip format via cwm recovery from here.
If that still doesn't fix it try flashing 2.3.X via Odin from here.
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried one by one but no luck.
I no longer have cwm and I have never heard of Odin.
By the looks of it I have lost root access, is that what you think?
Should I try and gain root again and get into cwm?
ok something strange has happened.
I have reflashed the superuser.zip through cwm (finally got it to work through a root method) and the phone is allowing me to download apps.
How can I now revert back to a stock rom without this happening again?
Really odd. I'm battling with the same thing tonight. Trying to go back to stock from CM7.1 nightlies. Wiped everything and tried a few different GRJ22 ROMs but they're all having this same problem.
If your having trouble flashing zip packed Roms via recovery/Rom manager, then you can always try Odin. Found on samfirmware (Firmware and Programs tabs in "Toolbox"). It's overwriting everything, even the bootloader if you want (careful!). You need to download Odin from that page plus the correct firmware for your device. Then just run Odin, apply the correct files (bootloader > bootloader, pda > pda, phone > modem, csc can remain empty (changes carrier info)), double check if only "auto reboot" and "f. reset time" are marked, "start".
> There are more indepth instructions on the forums that should be considered before trying!
I often have this issue too, not sure why.

Always START Here
Fully Charge your Phone before Flashing
To Check battery level, (WITHOUT plugging in the USB cable).
type *#0228# in the phone dialer, and Voltage value is AT LEAST 3800 (mV).
Check list before attempting to flash a ROM
1) Correct ROM or kernel or required files for device was downloaded
2) Battery was fully Charged
3) Every thing Important was backed up to PC or Ext SD card or Cloud.
a) efs backup
b) Use Call logs Backup, SMS backup. App Backup from Play store and or simply copy everything How to save files to your PC Note:-
It's assumed that you can and know how to connect your Phone to PC with USB cable .
If you do not know, first install Samsung USB drivers on your PC/Laptop, than enable USB debugging on your phone by settings menu > Developer options > tick USB Debugging.
After this use only Samsung USB cable and plug it into your phone micro USB port and to your PC USB Port. ( Always use the Back USB port on PC as some ports may not connect well enough for flashing ROM's. )
If unable to connect your phone to PC for any reason, refer to this guide
How to put your device in "recovery" or "download" modes on Galaxy S i9000?
Volume UP + HOME + POWER will take you to recovery mode
Volume DOWN + HOME + POWER will take you to download modeUse Combo Key Press
Combo buttons must be used as shown above to get your phone into RECOVERY MODE or DOWNLOAD MODE
What if your recovery or download modes cannot be achieved by combo key press on your device?
You can achieve it by methods suggested in My Android Solutions or by using a USB JIG.
Only Rooting or Flashing Kernels or Modems
Follow this, when your phone has a Froyo ROM and you just want to Root or Root and also have CWM
Needed Download for Froyo ROM:-
If you only want root on your Froyo ROM, just install z4root app
If you want root and CWM download a Speedmod Kernel and Flash to get CWM and Root your Froyo ROM. After flashing the speedMod kernel
1) Boot into recovery menu ( VolumeUp+Home+Power)
2) Select "Advanced features" ( Universal Lag Fix menu)
3) Select "Install Superuser" to be rooted
Follow this when your phone has a Gingerbread ROM and you only want Root or Root Plus CWM
Needed Download for Gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM:-
If you are looking at, only Root for your i9000 phone, it can be easily done with Framaroot app. (Its so easy these days)
But if you wish to have CWM recovery too, than flash a Semaphore Kernel or CF Root Kernel to achieve it.
i9000 Semaphore Kernels for Gingerbread, ICS or Jelly Bean & Kit Kat(select according to Version of ROM and chose the latest will be good enough )
i9000 CF Root Kernels for Gingerbread (select according to Version of ROM eg XWJW4 will also work for XWJW6 & XWJW9) )
Odin3 Flashing Tool ( attached below)How to Flash Kernels?Normal Flashing Method :-
Procedure:
1. Fire up Odin3 on your PC and ensure KIES is not running on your PC by killing (Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe) using Task Manager
2. Put the phone to the Download Mode by pressing (VolumeDown+Home+Power) buttons
and connect the phone to your PC (your phone should be recognized)
3. now select PDA and choose the kernel you had downloaded
4. press Start Button. Do not press anything else or interrupt it, wait for flashing process to complete and phone will reboot
That's it you have now rooted your phone as well as have CWM Recovery. When you have NO access to a Computer or USB Cable
Procedure:-
When you do not have a PC or a USB cable to work with, you can flash Kernels, Modems and even ROM's by using certain Apps like Mobile Odin, Flashify , Flash Gordon or any kernel flashing apps from Play store . So download and install them on your Phone. Detailed guide
In a nut shell, for safety reasons Mobile odin cannot be used to Flash a pit or EFS file, but all others are easily done from your phone without the need to use your PC. Hence CWM can be flashed with a Kernel meant for your phone and from here you can update to ICS or Jelly Bean without a PC or USB cable.
To make it simple
1) Copy File to your SD card (Rom, kernel , or flash files in .tar format)
2) Run Mobile Odin
3) Select Rom/kernel/Modem under Open file , it will automatically sort out the files in the ROM
4) Now you can tick EverRoot, Inject Superuser, if you wish or just flash without them
5) Flash Firmware
That's it, Odin will do everything and you will boot up in NEW firmware or Kernel or ModemFlashing Modem's
Download Stock or ICS or Jelly Bean or Nexus modems from Here
The procedure for Flashing Modems is the same as flashing kernels
Select the modem you wish to test or install as "PDA" in Odin3 and press "START" do not tick anything else or disconnect phone until flashing process is completed
Looking for a ROM? For Stock & Custom ROM or any software Downloads Go here | here or follow this [GUIDE] Unsure which i9000 ROM to choose? or look into the below database to chose what is best for you
Custom ROM's Comparison Database
Mirror
Upgrading (from Eclair or Froyo) or downgrading (from ICS, JBean or KK) to Gingerbread (Stock ROM)Included a kernel for Root and CWM (ClockWorkMod), needed for upgrading to ICS, Jelly Bean or Kit kat ROM's
This is a LIFE Saver ROM for your i9000, Flash this whenever you have a problem with your Phone or just to downgrade from any Custom ROM when you want to switch to another.
General advice prior to Flashing any phone
Its always best to do a "clean" install. meaning you should remove any old scripts, data, cache, junk before flashing a new ROM, this is like taking a bath before using new clothes. For some models it is a must do, for others it may not be a major problem or can be resolved by flashing the dbdata.rfs to clear out the remaining junk that you failed to remove before flashing . But if you had "lagfix" and did not undo it, it can cause internal SD card unavailable situation, which can be difficult to resolve.
Hence before flashing its advisable to
a) undo lagfix IF you had any.
b) Do a factory reset by settings>Privacy> factory reset ( erase SD Card - optional , as formatting SD card could be too) If you format SD card, save your Pictures and Music etc to PC first.
c) And even going into recovery to wipe everything is also good.
d) Removing SIM Card and External SD card ( makes it easier for phone to boot up initially after flashing a new ROM)
Doing this will give you a "CLEAN" install or fresh start for your phone,
IF you want to have it "AS IS" install, with all the stuff (with junk) in the SD card, you can do so too ( without formatting SD card) .
Video guide for first time ODin3 users "How to use Odin"
Downloads needed for undermentioned process
Use Odin3 Version 1.7 to 1.83 ( meant for Galaxy S1 series (attached below)
Attached below 3 i9000 PIT files ( use 512 only for re-partition ) or 512 PIT
i9000 JVU ROM with i9000 JVU CF ROOT Kernel download and unzip
FIRST ensure your phone (i9000) has more than 80% battery charge before attempting to Flash.
Procedure:
1. Fire up Odin3 on your PC and ensure KIES is not running on your PC by killing (Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe) using Task Manager
2. Put the phone to the Download Mode by pressing (VolumeDown+Home+Power) buttons and connect the phone to your PC (your phone should be recognized)
3. Select PDA > CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
4. Select PHONE > MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5
5. Select CSC > GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5
6. Select PIT > 512 PIT (If 'Re-Partition' is not checked under 'Option', check it)
7. Press the Start button Do not press anything else or interrupt it, wait for flashing process to complete and phone will reboot
After which you repeat steps one and two (to flash the kernel for root and CWM recovery)
3. now select PDA > CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS
4. press Start Button. Do not press anything else or interrupt it, wait for flashing process to complete and phone will reboot
That's it, now you have a perfect Phone, rooted and having CWM recovery, ideal starting point for upgrading to ICS and after that to Jelly Bean custom ROM's
Any problems you may have after doing this, just look here for the solution to that particular problem.
As explained earlier (about clean flashing) if your phone reboots into recovery with some errors appearing in red after flashing the JVU ROM
it may be resolved by flashing dbdata.rfs (attached below) as PDA in Odin3 to remove the junk data files.Using Heimdall to flash
You can do the same process using heimdall instead of Odin3 too, to use heimdall one click you can download i9000 Rescue kit and flash. or use [GUIDE] Flashing with Heimdall
or using Heimdall on a linux machine
Upgrading to ICS
First and foremost, the moment you want to Flash, the rule of the thump is you should have a EFS folder backed-up somewhere else ( external SD card or PC or cloud) How, Look here. And your Battery must have more than 50% charge
Second you should do a Nandroid Backup of your Gingerbread ROM, using the CWM recovery, this will help you solve problems, IF any thing goes wrong in the future.
Every developer has instructions as to how you should flash that ROM, in the thread you are downloading their ROM's, so you only need to follow it to acheive your goal
Download:-
you can choose the ICS ROM here or search XDA and use the guide in the developers thread of that ROM
Basic CWM Flashing Procedure
No need to read if you know how to use CWM flashing procedure
From here on you won't be using Odin3 to flash anymore, you will use the CWM Recovery by using the 3 combo keys to enter recovery or you can use apps from Google Play like Mobile Odin, Flash Gordon or Flashify to Flash direct from your SD cards, so First you need to download the ROM of your choosing into your SD card ( Internal or External) together with gapps for it.
1) After flashing recovery with Odin, You can enter " Recovery Mode" by press VolumeupKey+PowerKey+HomeKey. You do this every-time you want to switch to a JellyBean or iCS ROM or to utilize the many features this recovery has, like Backup/restore/fix permissions and mostly to do the full wipes (NEEDED to be done every time you want to SWITCH ROMS) etc
2) Once in CWM Recovery you do the Full wipes (use your volume keys to move up or down in the recovery menu to select and the power key to execute that command).
The undermentioned wipes need to be done and will constitute a FULL Wipe of your Phone but your SD card will not be fully formatted as such your Images and other non system files will remain as is.
a) Wipe data / Factory reset
b) Wipe cache
c) Enter advanced and wipe dalvic Cache
Once the full wipes are done,
3) You now choose the ROM you placed in your SD card by selecting "Install zip from sdcard"
which will lead you to "choose zip from sdcard", which will take you to all the folders you have on your SD Card..scroll down to where you placed the downloaded files and select it
Once selected the ROM will be Flashed on to your phone, so wait till it says "install completed"
Note:- Some ICS ROM's may need to be flashed twice as it will end-up in bootloop in the first flash
some need to be wiped again after flashing ICS, as certain apps may not work.*
so repeat the ROM flashing one more time
Also if you intent to upgrade to JellyBean after this, you don't have to flash Gapps here , so you can skip the next step and just "Reboot System" after this
Now you do the same selection process again (Step 3) to select the Gapps file and wait till it says "Install completed"
4) That's it, Now select "Reboot system Now"

Don't panic, you are still in solid ground and can recover from this, but you may have to lose your contacts, data etc as flashing a new gingerbread ROM, would be the obvious solution. But your photos and videos would still be there, as long as you have NOT formatted the SD card too. On the other hand IF you had google gmail account, it would have backed up your contacts detail, when the sync was ON.
Actually, this thread would have solved your problem already, either you flash the gingerbread upgrade or downgrade JVU ROM as guided or you flash the rescue kit ( which is also the same) in the unbricking section. , This ROM has the bootloader in it so you would not have an issue about it.
Note:- it is possible to use ADB to recover the data and contacts, if you have recovery mode (which you indicate is not having) its also possible to use ADB to boot into recovery, only possible when your have debugging ticked in your device.
SO take a moment to think things overs as to what you want to do, so flash the gingerbread ( sure to recover) or try to recover the data? ( no guarantees though.)

First and foremost, you need to flash the gingerbread ROM to solve your problem and get your phone booting, only after that you should look at CM, 9, 10 or 11. BTW there is no such thing as best ROM, that why you need to read the guide on "unsure which ROM yo chose" to get abetter idea about ROM's
Everything you need to do , has been explained step by step, in the 1st post of this thread, so READ, read and read again , once you understand it all, proceed to do it, step by step
