i9000 flashing gone bad, need a little guidance - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hello to everyone who's reading this!
It is my first post here so please be patient
I was trying to flash my new i9000 and i got to the point where i don't know what to do. My problem is that i can't reach the EXTERNAL sd card from CWM so i can not install any zip.
I've been flashing roms many times before but only on HTC devices and on those phones the term sd card means external sd card. On Samsung phones as it turns out the same term is used for internal phone memory. However i did not see that coming before i formatted (in CWM) the phone. So what i've got now is a phone without OS (or at least it does not start) which does not start unless into CWM. In CWM when i choose "install zip from sd card" it gives the list of folders and files on phones memory but not on the external sd card. Is there a way to put a needed zip file into that internal memory so i could flash some rom and make my phone working again ???

Can you get download mode volume down/ power/ home.... if so just grab a stock firmware and flash it with Odin

Will do! Does it have to be stock? Really hate the idea to do the whole thing again
P.S. Before trying to flash it i formatted the phone via CWM utilities with no errors. But when i was trying to flash a zip and it gave me an index of internal memory and i found all the files even photos and games a had on the phone. How can this be?

Here's a link to my recovery kit to get you back to gb with cf root ezbase, with ezodin and pictorial instructions as well! Just unzip and read the .txt first
Hang on forgot the link lol

What did you format? Doing a factory reset won't wipe the sd card

Everything that had an option to format. In advanced section too.

you could plug your phone in to the pc go into cwm mount USB storage then drag and drop the files onto your internal as card

But he has got a Rom on there at all, so no recovery, no flash, Odin is the solution

He said he had access to recovery so he could just get the ROM he had flash it in cwm again and it would be back to normal

Yeah, I read that, but then he said he had formatted everything...... case of the flash panic I think lol

Sounds like a clean install won't do any harm either! Lol

Yeah I think next time he should just flash his ROM over it then he would have all hos stuff unchanged wprks for me if I mess it up haha

I followed steps on ezbase kit provided and now i have CyanogenMod 9 Nightly. Now im going to try to flash Simplicity rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203047 because i need something clean, close to stock and optimized for battery life.
So this time i shouldn't format anything just wipe out all user data and flash on top? Cuz formatting is what got me into trouble in the first place.
Edit: Just realised CWM version is now different so i can't install that rom. Is there any i9000 rom compatible with CWM 5 and optimized for battery? Googling is really useless at this point

Try slim, very stable

It doesn't matter what cwm version you have the ROM will change it by its self to the one it uses, if you flash and it changes the cwm and them doesn't install ROM jsit reflash as this means its just flashed the kernel first

When you flash a rom with CWM it installs the rom and a kernel, the kernel contains CWM, you can change kernels as often as you like without affecting the rom (as long as they are compatible). What you want to look for is the best rom/kernel combination

I have rooted and installed hboot and clockworkmod. Flash clockwork recovery and installed buzz/oc 1.22ghz CM.zip but now my desire hd keeps resetting on the flash screen. I didnt choose backup my rom on the clockwork options and tried restore but it says no files found.....am i doomed? I still can get inside clockworkmod recovery now....please help...

I had the same problem
I was running the default rom that came with the desire hd...but i have flashed it to buzz/oc 1.22ghz rom..it said install sucessful but it keeps rebooting at the htc splash screen...i only have 2 roms in zip in my sd card which are both the buzz/oc sense and CM.zip...

Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??
or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..
Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...
Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Samsung Galaxy S GT i9000m Recovery

Ok Fellas! just got my phone last night, rooted it installed the stock froyo JK4.
I come from htc desire so my recovery was bit different installed rom manager & got cloworkmod 2.5.1.2.
Downloaded a rom on phone, rebooted into recovery, but this recovery has purplish text instead of green & there is no install from SD. I cant think of any thing at the moment can some one please help, I wanna install some other rom, other than the stock froyo. PLEASE HELP.
You need to install clockwork revory if you go to the rom manager application there will be an option to flash clock recovery right at the top when you open the application hope this claers things up
yep i did sir, but still there is no option to install from sd, it only allows me to install as update.
from teh rom manager im selecting Galaxy S I9000 for clockwork recovery and it successfully downloads and when i press reboot into recovery its still takes me to the purple screen....i think this means that im not able to get into clockwork recovery any help.??
you have to select 'install update.zip' the first time, this will install clockworkmod and then you can proceed.
The problem is your using 3e recovery and cwm will not work with 3e.
To get 2e recovery you will have to use odin and flash a kernel that has 2e recovery, I suggest hardcores kernal as it comes with cwm already , from there you can install what ever custom rom you want using.the update.zip or installing zip from sd.

the best way to get clockwork working on i9000m (personally i believe)
is to flash the kernel for Speedmod... you should see it in development forum... just flash that kernel with odin
and your recovery will work fine

Hey man thanks alot, do you mind pasting a link here. If you kindly can please and thanks again.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
There are a few things i could suggest.
1. Keep your flashing to a minimum if you have the i9000m. There is a high probability that your phone's memory card is defective and you'll ruin it by accessing it more often. Froyo broke lots of bell phones, and being a rom junky means more flash activity. I am on my second phone, but some people are up to their fifth. Flash a good stable rom and dont go too crazy flashing after that
2. download ODIN, and most 3rd party kernels have 2e i think (http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html) - pretty sure speedmod does. voodoo also does, all kernels can be found in the dev section easily
Just make sure you download the ODIN version of the kernel and not the CWM file, because since you dont have CWM already, you'll not be able to use it.
There is a problem with USB mounting your sd cards on your pc without patching, since you are running a stock 2.2, so you would need the patch unless you go to a 2.2.1 rom
3. 2.2.1 runs nicer than 2.2, but i havent flashed to a JPY because i am paranoid about my second i9000m dying before i get a backup phone . You may want to flash a jpy mod (like doc rambone's, or darky's), but if you have battery life problems flash a different modem, like the JK4 modem used in bell's latest official rom

Oh crap! really, i think imma sell this phone rite away then, cus coming fro desire im a rom junky. I guess this aint the rite phone from me.
Yeah, there are massive known problems with internal memory on these phones. I'm already on my second, and if i have more issues, i'll be buying the international i9000 from ncix.com. same phone, no internal memory problems.

Accidentally partioned SD CARD without having saved anything. HELPP!!

Hey guys,
So I tried installing Virus's ROM and messed up big time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1036706
I didn't know that partitioning your SD card would erase everything. So now I'm stuck at the bootloader and the recovery screen. I can't really do much else because there are no roms on the SD card and it erased all of my backups.When I try to click on "flash zip from sdcard" it says Can't Mound SDCARD. On the install instructions for the Virus ROM, I was only able to follow numbers 3-7 and am stuck. What can I do to get my phone working normally again? Thanks in advanced!

well depending on how much u formated ur card and how big it is id say maybe try to stick the sd card in and just do a regular reformat through the computer and then put the rom on and try to flash again through recovery(i suggest doing a normal rom first and remaking backups) then go back and do virius 3.0
Ok, take out SD card, if you don't have one already, need to get an adapter so you can plug SD directly into USB of a computer. Download the zip file of a ROM u want and drag and drop into your SD card. Rename it PC36IMG.ZIP, put card back in phone, reboot into bootloader, it should automatically scan for this file and update you. If this doesn't work, go to recovery and try flashing manually. Don't forget to wipe dalvic cache and data first. Hope this helps!

use your computer to reformat it, and then download Recuva.
Depending on if anything got overwritten, you may be able to recover most of your files, I used it when my SD got corrupted by my Hero a while back.

How to root + recovery your Minix Neo X5 without a Comp

This is for everyone that wants to easily root and install CWM on their Neo X5 without having to go through the hassle of hooking it up to a computer and downloading/installing 3rd party tools + drivers. So far, every tutorial I've come across suggests using a comp must be done so I thought it would be a good idea to write up how I accomplished this without all that hassle.
All steps below can be done directly from the device itself -- all you need is a file explorer and browser of your choice:
1) Download CWM for the Neo X5 here: http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/rk3066/
2) Download a CWM compatible pre-rooted ROM of your choice. Top contenders are:
a) Finless 1.2b: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?4485-CWM-Minix-Roms
b) Kirk out v1.6: http://minixforums.com/threads/rom-kirk-out-neo-x5-4-1-1_0117-v-1-6.313/​
3) Using a file explorer of your choice, move the CWM recovery zip that you just downloaded in Step#1 to the root of your /sdcard directory and rename it "update.zip"
4) You should now automatically be prompted to install the update using the system's stock updater process -- Accept the update.
5) Your system should automatically install the update and should automatically boot into CWM when done.
5a) (Optional) Once in recovery you can make a nandroid backup of your current stock rom.
6) Using CWM, use the options to install a zip for /sdcard and select the zip for the ROM you downloaded in Step#2
7) After installation is done, go back to the main CWM menu. Select "Wipe Cache" and then:
7a) Recommended: "Wipe Data". This will wipe all your apps and settings but ensure that it is a clean install.
or
7b) "Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache". This will preserve your data and is known as a dirty flash. It should work but there is always a risk of a bootloop upon reboot.​
8) Reboot the system and enjoy. You should now be rooted with CWM installed.

In step 3 is the location the internal sd card or the external as I have been using the external sd card without success. On the pre installed explorer app the internal storage is called Flash so is this where I put it

Boot problem.
I might have screwed my Neo G4.
Please help me.
I booted into CWM, and made a backup of my original firmware.
Then i formated system, cache and data, and wiped data/factory, cache and dalvick.
i tried to install a custom rom, but the instalation was aborted.
When i rebooted mi Neo G4, it never boot, only black screen.
How do i boot into CWM now?
I need that to restore the backup i made.
It is posible to build a bootable SD card for this device?
Thank you!

Here is something to consider. In this post on RockChip RK30 Common Bug - External SDcard Corruption! where finless bob talks about *writing* to the external SD card causing corruptions. But, I am wondering about this:
Format your sdcard using windows as FAT32 and copy the recovery update.zip to the root directory using windows or other. Then after you insert in the Neo G4 you will not be *writing* so you should not experience noted corruption attempting a recovery by only *reading* the files.
I read the OP comment that booting does not work from external sdcard. So, I am researching this now on my devices.
But, I do not know how to boot the device into recovery from black screen. Good luck with your research.
If i had only restored my backup before i rebooted.
I hope TVE bootable sdcard work.
Thanks anyway.

I just read this thread and one guy says you get recovery by holding a pin in reset and plugging in power. I do not know, but you can try.
Good luck.

Holding the reset pin while powering up should boot you into recovery so you can restore your backup (or install a ROM after redownloading and verifying the MD5)

There is a version of the Kirkout ROM for the G4: http://minixforums.com/threads/rom-kirk-out-neo-x5-g4-4-1-1_0117-v-1-6.313/
I believe someone made an unofficial version port of the Finless ROM for the G4 as well on the same site. It is not officially supported though. I've been pretty happy with the Kirkout ROM on my X5 so I would suggest giving it a whirl.
Cool. Is there a remote control app forma that particular rom?
RK remote doesn't even work with old stock Firmware.

HDMI Signal not detected after update
I followed the instructions at the top of this thread to update the firmware of my Minix Neo X5 to the Finless 1.2b version (720 with airpin). Everything went as described but after rebooting in the last step I no longer get an HDMI signal from my Minix. I have tried my standard Samsung TV that worked fine before and also on my standard Acer computer screen without luck.
Does anyone have any idea about what might have happend and how I can get my Minix up and running again?

I would start all over. Did you make a nandroid of your original ROM? Did fresh install or dirty? Worse case scenario you can restore the original ROM and then dirty flash.

Are you able to boot into recovery by holding down the rest pin while powering up?

I did not back up my original ROM. As I had no HDMI signal from the device I resorted to OTG Flashing. I tried to install Finless 1.2b using the Finless ROM flash tool (RKAndriodTool v1.35). I no longer got "No signal" message but just a black screen at booting, the same happened when I tried to boot into recovery. I tried both 720 and 1080 versions.
I did not dare to test with Kirk out from OTG as he clearly says that it is only for CWM.
I then tried to reinstall CWM-based Recovery with RKAndriodTool following the instructions on androtab. Still just got black screen when trying to boot into recovery.
I flashed one more time with RKAndriodTool using Finless 1.2b 720 with airpin. When I booted into recovery I noticed some white pixels flashing on the screen that I had not seen before. I left the device running and after a long time the Finless start image (Black droid) apeared but nothing more happened.
I Rebooted 2 times and finally now I'm up and running Finless. Im not shure if everythin is ok yet, I think everything seems a bit slow but I guess I will have to run it a bit to know for shure.
I'm glad that Minix has made such a sturdy device. I guess a lot of other devices would have been bricked by now with all the messing about I've been doing.
i was only able to use rk when i updated the minix firmware.
well, i'll give a try to finless. if remote don't work, i'll go back to minix firmware.
thank you

A note on the RKRemote app, I believe WiFi on the X5 has to be enabled even if the device is connected via ethernet. I am pretty sure I read that somewhere.....can't test myself since I only have my device connected via WiFi (no LAN port in the room I have it in).
yes, the device has to be connected to the same wifi network that the mobile with rk remote

[Q] phone does not turn on. it goes directly to cwm recovery mode

Good day,
I am having problem with my lg optimus l3 e400. I just rooted it the other day to solve the memory problems of the phone. It has been working fine until today. What happened was, it just turned off and whenever i turn it on, it goes directly to cwm recovery, which has been installed during the root process thru ROM manager app. I also found out that the SD card is corrupted. I had to format the SD card and tried pasting stock ROM's but it still doesn't boot and still goes to recoovery everytime I turn it on. I tried to format the device, the cache, and the other format options in recovery mode but the issue is still not solved. Can anyone please help? And if possible, give me a step by step guide because I'm kinda new at this. Thanks.

If you highlight the reboot option and then press the power key what happens?Does the phone reboot?If not somethings gone wrong...Anyway try flashing another custom ROM(cyanoid,for example @linuxxx)Does CWM recovery mount the SD card?Did you flash SD merge and you aren't using a SD merge compatible kernel?Anyway you can't flash stock roms from the phone.You must use the good old KDZ(How many times did he save me....)

Can you guys give me a link? i'm having a hard time looking for stock roms and i don't even know how to distinguish stock rom and custom rom. the sd card that was working before the happened got corrupted but after inserting it to another phone and formatting the sd card, it seems to be working and the sd card can be mounted. i'm not sure with the sd merge compatiility with the kernel but it worked for a few days so i think it is compatible. the phone does not reboot. whenever i reboot it or turn it on, it just goes to recovery mode. thanks.
