Hi guys. First of all it's gonna be my first thread. That's way I wanna say hello to everyone. Anyway. I just tried to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S Gt-I9000 to ICS 4.0 and I followed pinappu. hubpages. com/hub/Samsung-Galaxy-S-firmware-update-to-Android-40-aka-Ice-Cream-Sandwich instructions. My phone installed the upgrading files successfully. After rebooting my phone didn't turn on. I can't start my phone even in recovery mode but download mode is working. What should I do?
Yours
Sir_Night

Sorry for my lexical and grammatical errors. English isn't my native language.
Boot into download and flash a GB rom through Odin. Then flash a kernel with CWM (like Semaphore). Download any ICS rom zip file and flash it twice (it will bootloop or reboot recovery after the first flash).
The instructions and links to tutorials/videos for installing roms are usually in the rom's OP so you can just follow that.

Thank you for your reply. I just flashed GB 2.3.6 rom and now my phone is working. Thank you. I'm not sure about ICS anymore
If you only want the appearance of ICS use SauROM and then flash the ICS theme. It looks just like ICS but is obviously still GB.
When bootloop or no CWM occurs after flashing from GB -> ICS:
-remove battery
-download a ICS kernel to your PC.
eg. Semaphore ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21910951
-start Odin and put .tar in PDA field. Untick repartition.
-insert battery and go download mode.
-connect usb to PC and flash ICS kernel.
Next boot of phone should be normal ICS.

hey guys, my samsung is in a bootloop and recovery mode is not acceseble
im looking for a cm9 firmware thati can flash via odin3 to fix my phone
i think that is not possible .start ur fone in download mode .flash a stock rom .and then flash CM9 .
Just search for "fix recovery" package. I've seen it in many threads. It should help you
edit: here..I came across with this in some thread..
http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble/FixRecovery.tar.md5

if you manage to get into recovery, try to flash cm9 again, it will probably fix your problem.
if you rather flash JVU to start over again, dont forget for the small installation that comes after the odin process to end before flashing any custom kernel.
Imilka ICS repack -> GB - boot and modem .bin files failing when flashing from Odin?
(also posted in Dr Ketan's stock ROMs topic)
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have a bit of a problem which I fairly desperately need your help to fix. Reading about how dangerous the ICS leak/repack was, I decided to bite the bullet and downgrade to GB before installing the CM9 nightly. I read up around it, including preparing all the tools (Odin etc), ROM (stock 2.3.6 ROM from sammobile), kernel (CF-root KJ1, latest) etc.
Booted device into download and proceeded to flash stock ROM. FactoryFS done, good. modem.bin ERRORED! bad. OK, I thought, try another ROM without modem. Only there aren't many (any?) that don't have either boot.bin or modem.bin, and they take an age to download from hotfile...
Tried flashing Chainfire's KJ1 factoryFS - flashes fine but on restart it just sits there sparking Android's belly!
I then saw Dr.Ketan's post re stock ICS and how it would flash boot.bin and modem.bin as supplied, so tried that too - same problem, it won't flash boot or modem. I've tried flashing individual bits too, but because the CODE has one of those files, it fails.
I am loath to having to manual repack the code part without boot/modem myself, as I haven't touched my Linux VM since I stopped developing the N1 battery calibration bits, and it would be learning about md5checksums etc too - given my backup Android device is dropping the cell network every minute, I really need my Note back to working perfection (as it was with IMILKA's CM9 build - dang, I wish I'd not flashed yesterday!!)
So at present I have a useless Note which I need help resuscitating - any advice, options please? I guess PM me if I'm being dumb or it's likely to get too off-topic...
I had a problem when going to back to GB to flash ParanoidAndroid. When I rebooted after flashing via PC odin. It wouldn't let me go past the configuration options.
After flashing lots of GB firmwares I finally read I had to go into recovey mode and make a factory reset and wipe caches.
After this I was able to get into GB, root, install recovery and flash ParanoidAndroid

For the record, I have muddled through and solved this issue. Steps I took:
boot into Download mode
Odin flash the 16Gb PIT file only
then Odin flash CSC file (from Dr.Ketan's ICS) only
Reboot
It restarted into ICS with Samsung bits so I knew it had updated (Imilka's ROM)
Then I reflashed Chainfire's KJ1 in Odin, then in recovery flashed CM9 and gapps, rebooted. Then flashed latest CF-root from recovery.
All working well, apart from gmail not marking messages read despite a clearing of it's data and cache!
</phew>
Hi everybody,
I'm new to this forum and I'm in deep troubles...
I was trying to install CM9 on my Galaxy Tab 7 (German / europe version).
I was following this official guide here:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide
After installing the ClockWorkMod recovery (the installation did not report any error), the tab has rebooted and gets stuck at the samsung logo image.
I've tried to boot in recovery mode and do a factory reset but nothing changed.
The tab was original from samsung with latest updates installed from kies. No root, no other custom roms installed.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance, Luca.
Boot into download mode, flash to stock firmware, flash Overcome kernel, put CM9 on sdcard and flash in recovery (CWM).
Go to the Overcome thread, follow links to guide/files etc.
Same issues
Luca, I'm on the same situation, if you have solved this issue please let me know, I've done exactly what you did and I'm on the same problem, thanks !
Problem solved
Same problem after updating to Cyanogenmod 9 RC1.
So I went back to the Restock Package of Overcome (can't inser links as it's forbidden for forum beginners...!?!) and overcome kernel 4.0.0.
So put the tablet with power+volume down and connecting with usb cable to download mode (triangle construction sign).
Then load .pit, .tar and modem.bin with Odin3 on the tab. After rebooting to 2.3.6 power off and again download mode and flash kernel 4.0.0
On the german android-hilfe site search for ' ICS CM9 Version 4.0.4 MTD' for explanations. There was a c't article with more links called 'Entwurzelt: Samsung galaxy tab root und flash'
After restart of 2.3.6 restock package I downloaded latest nightly built and the google apps (see explanations on Android-hilfe) and with some trying (flashed the rom twice?) I got back to the newest ICS on my SGT-P1000. Even camera is working now.
Good luck!
Flash the overcome kernel for P1000 using either Odin or heimdall. Go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
Did this to mine and after following above technique it worked.

I am on stock froyo ROM on my Galaxy 3 Gt-I5801. My question is if I flash CM7.2 alpha 8 using CM7.2.0-GT-I5800_Alpha8_ODIN.zip [135 Mb] file in odin , Will that result into a bootloop ? I mean after flashing ROM what will be senario
will there be a bootloop and I have to flash kernel (if yes, which kernel I have to flash
a) Arakmar's kernel listed under Alpha 8; which a zip file and not tar file
b) any one kernel under alpha8.1a which has tar file)
and after flashing kernel, there wont be any bootloop and ultimately will be result in normal boot
OR
there wont be any bootloop at first place; i.e. after flashin CM 7.2 ROM there wont be any bootloop, and what I have to do is
just update version to 8.1a through CWM and then flash kernel and then Flash .zip to get alpha8.2
really confused..I think ROM [here CM7.2.0-GT-I5800_Alpha8_ODIN.zip (135MB)]
have kernel with it also or not ???
I m sorry if this a stupid question :silly: and I think it is but I am flashing for the first time and Galaxy 3 means a lot for me.
Thanks

^Nope, if you follow the steps correctly, then the chances of you ending up with a bootloop is almost negligible. However, even if you do, then just navigate to recovery and wipe your data/cache and reboot. Your phone should be working fine after that!
And yes, Alpha8 .TAR file already has a kernel present with it, so no need to flash it over again!
Happy Flashing! :good:
on CM 7.2
all went good..no bootloop....just got nervous and confuse.. thanks for reply
Hello,
I have a SM-A700FD. Some time ago I installed a ROM from xda (https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-t3462703) The ROM ported from c7.
Now I am trying to go back to the stock ROM, but I just can not flash any rom.
Some reasons:
1. The PC doesn't recognize the phone (neither download mode, neither recovery, neither with a ROM). I tried in 4 different PCs;
2. I've got the recovery TWRP. I can flash the ROM, but the phone is stock in the boot screen.
3. Without the connection between the phone and the PC I just cant use the ODIN. Then I cannot flash again the stock ROM.
4. I had success flashing the CM 12.1 (UNNOFICIAL, but the ROM is old and full of bugs). Neither the resurrection rom, neither stock works on my phone.
5. The phone goes to download mode and recovery mode. My custom recovery is a TWRP 3.0.2-0.
Then I tried many ROMS (AOSP and stock, flashing by recovery) and all of them stops on boot logo.
Anyone got any suggestion?
Thanks.
Regards.
GF

You need to wipe your data partition. AOSP/CM based roms and stock roms do not have compatible DATA partitions.
The rom I installed wasnt aosp. Made the wipe already... Nothing changes.

If you don't have a hardware problem then the procedure below should restore the device to a bootable state.
Wipe data
Install stock with odin
Wait at least 10 mins for boot to complete.
Well. Tried but, as I said, my pc (tried in até least 4 different PCs) doesnt recognize my cellphone.
Thats not hardware. It appeared just when I tried tô change the rom.
Srry.

1- Load the following Samsung USB drivers for Windows:
http://samsungusbdriver.com/download/samsung-driver-v1-5-61-0
2- Install the drivers while you mobile is disconnected.
3- Put your mobile into download mode. (Vol Down + Power)
4- Run Odin and then connect your mobile after (It has to be recognized by assigning you a port number COMx in Odin under ID:COM).
5- Make sure that only F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are checked under the ODIN Options tab (IMPORTANT: NOTHING ELSE IS CHECKED)
6- Select you Stock ROM in the AP tab of Odin and as soon as it is loaded hit Start.
7- The phone will restart and wait for few minutes till the Stock ROM builds its caches, optimizes its apps and start.
Hope this helps you restore your stock ROM and tell me how it went

Hi.
I made the procedure you said. First of all, Thanks.
The odin doesn't recognize the Phone.
The rom I installed in the first moment was Port from c7. I got that messages "warranty bit kernel" "Keynes is not seandroid".
Maybe something went wrong in that place.

Ok then it seems you have a bootloader problem. I suggest you unzip your A700FD stock ROM tar.md5 file by deleting the md5 extension (Rename SM-A700FD-ROM.tar.md5 to SM-FD700-ROM.tar), then unzip the ROM.tar file using WinRAR or 7Zip. Now you will have all the ROM partitions files including boot.img and system.img files as well as others. I suggest you place both files on your external SD Card via the PC (using a card reader) and then flash both from within TWRP (You can change in TWRP to flash img files instead of zip files) while formatting the data and cache partitions and reboot.
I believe that way you can restore the boot.img and system.img partitions, correct any corruption in the boot and system partitions and can flash the whole ROM again using ODIN or flash any other custom ROM (non ported) as soon as your mobile gets recognized by your PC.
Let me know how it went.. Good luck
Thanks a lot. I did not think in that way. I'll try and then ill post here if that worked. Thanks a lot.
