I think you must have the stock rom to flash creeds
wait for other answers, i am a noob too !

As what the previous comments reflash to stock rom because evo x2 have its own kernel unlike repen and creed that don't have maybe savie isn't compatible with this rom.

Maybe you can try to just restore the stock kernel ?
If it's don't work the only way i see is to reflash the stock rom. See the Doky73 thread.
For just restoring the stock kernel :
- Download a stock rom from Doky73 thread.
- Extract the boot.img from the pda.rar of the rom and copy it on the root of the sdcard.
- Download CWM and the Update Kernel.zip ,you can found theim in the 3eme post of the merruk thread (kernel flash via cwm by mai77)
- Boot in recovery and use CWM
- Once in the CWM recovery, simply choose install from zip and select KernelUpdate.zip
(Note : Kernel Update.zip looks for a boot.img file in SD card and flashes it)
- After successful kernel up press power to return to CWM
- Press Reboot now, and your kernel is updated
- Reboot again in CWN and retry to flash creeds...

Flashing problem

Several days ago i try to flash (without success) Merruk kernel.After that incident (LOL) I was flashed stock rom nd start to flash JBv3.I followed the procedure step by step (that was my 3th time flashing JB),But i stucked in S.logo :silly:
After that i contact Percy215 nd bro is advised me to flash JB from stock recovery.And it worked! :silly:
Then i flashed White's kernel 1.2.0
So,my dear friends-what hapening with CWM recovery (CWM bla bla,....)whether the costume kernel modify stock recowery even after flashing a stock rom.
After all that i'v flashed again stock rom and then Repencis 3.5 in the same way-through Stock recowery.
And the question is: what to do next time (i'm gona try USSR v8) ??????:silly:

Whites an d other kernels like merruk,hells come witj their own cwm recoveries.
So if you want to boot into stock recovery you need to flash stock kernel or kernel like kuros which has stock recoveries and temporary cwms

Man, i was flashed those 2 roms (JB and Repencis) from Stock recovery which means that i was on stock rom before flashing those costume roms.I know that those kernels has their recoverys (permanent recoverys)
Totally weird situation !!

Where is the problem then?
For what you opened new thread?

When cwm is not working ' stock recovery should do the trick

if you want to flash ussr8 .
just do the procedure of flashing that rom. the tut is posted on ussr thread
no matter youre using white kernel or any kernel which directly goes to cwm recovery.
if you want to flash ussr9. you have to go back to stock kernel first or those which has stock recovery first because that rom (ussr9) has no kernel and your previous will be the one to be used.

here is the best answer,,
if u r in USSR any verision,,people forget to reboot into recovery after installing the room-----this is important (in CWM go to advance reboot recovery then wipe data and cahe) then reboot,,
in hyperion stock recovery is the best to use,, i used this many time w/o single bootloop.
note:doesn't matter if u are in stock or custom rom
note: if u are using CWM always mount system and data

Wifi problem on stock de odexed

Hey guys need a help
Just don't slap me with - noob search this that blah blah (i know I'm one still read patiently)
Well i flashed a stock de odexed rom today via (hells kernel) cwm
When wifi was toggled it scanned for a while and then rebooted...
I flashed wifi drivers, re flashed kernel etc. Yet rom rebooted. Back to Evo X and wifi is fine (so i assumed it's a problem in software not my mobile)
I actually tried flashing drivers, setting permissions and re flashed kernel..
I searched on XDA and majority of posts were ICS and JB roms.. Hence I posted this. Thanks in advance

If you're using hells fusion #50 kernel Flash dhd1.1 in cwm with system mounted
if you are using most other stock based kernels flash dhd-stock in cwm with system mounted

Sir it didn't work... After i flashed drivers(with system mounted) and toggled wifi, it detected network but then rebooted (actually it was more like hot boot)... Just as it was before. I guess i didn't download a proper de odexed rom.

if you have rom problems
download any stock based custom rom from dev section and put on root of sd card
go into recovery
flash temp cwm zip if using a kernel that doesn't already have cwm
goto mounts and storage
format system data and cache
mount system data and cache
flash rom zip
restart
at the moment you cannot download stock roms to flash via odin as hotfile has been closed down although I have uploaded a stock rom firmware to dev host which you can find on or near the last page of dokys firmware thread on dev section - it will boot your phone but its European firmware so may not work on your network but at least it will boot your phone if flashing a custom rom with the method above doesn't work

No worries sir, i have Evolution X rom and 2 other in my sd card. Also i have 2 backups.. I just wanted to experiment and probably try to solve the issue on stock. I'm in evo x and everything is working fine.
Thanks a lot for assisting me immediately (pressed the button too )
The thing is i don't have a comp. So i was trying out different stock (cwm flashable) . I will just download one from doky's thread after the website issue has been sorted out

flashing a stock cwm zip doesnt actually give you stock rom as such - think of it more like a custom rom with no changes made to any files
To make it work properly you really in the case of flashing a deodex stock rom via cwm you need to be on the same baseband as the stock rom
To actually flash stock rom and to change basebands you needs to flash the stock rom firmware via odin

[Q] CWM Boot Loop

Hi,
I installed CWM v6.0.5.3 from the CM11 thread here onto my rooted stock rom so that I could do a nandroid backup.
It installed OK and I did the backup but now it always boots into CWM!
When I select "reboot system now" it also complains that "root access it missing". Selecting yes to root device doesn't get rid of this message on subsequent boots.
I can still get into download mode and I can use Odin to re--flash stock rom which enables me to boot correctly, but then I've lost all my data. Ironically I only installed CWM to do a backup and I don't have any other backup!
I can see other threads with similar problems but they're on other devices and the fix.zip's don't work on the Y.
I'd appreciate any help.
Regards,
Paul.

Some more info...
Even after flashing the stock ROM and re-installing CWM 6.0.5.3 I get the same issue.
I've tried using a temporary CWM v5 but this is unable to restore the backup.
Thanks...

Just thinking out loud now...
Is there a way to manually restore data.yaffs2.img from the backup without installing CWM 6.0.5.3?

It's not a problem. On flashing CWM 6.0.5.3 it converts the system to MTD from RFS which prevents it from booting due to lack of compatible ROM. CWM 6.0.5.3 can't be used with any GB or ICS ROM. It needs KK and for that you have to flash CM 11. Hope this helps.

You didn't install cwm6 - you flashed a kernel only meant for cm11 that has cwm6 built in - this kernel will not work on stock roms
Simply mount system then flash a stock based kernel like hells fusion #50
In future use cwm5 to make backups of stock roms - hells fusion kernel has it built in

Ah, and I thought I was being clever by going for the latest version!
I'll try flashing that kernel and let you know...

Hi,
From CWM 6.0.5.3 I mounted /system and installed hells fusion #50, but the phone still boots into CWM 6.0.5.3.
I tried also installing the stock kernel from the aroma installer, but still ended up in CWM 6.0.5.3.

Paul

Maybe its a build.prop issue with the zip and not flashing it
Try flashing a stock kernel via odin like the following (place in pda)
http://d-h.st/18f
If not you will have to flash an entire stock rom firmware via odin

I tried flashing that kernel with Odin, but when I boot I just get stuck on the Samsung logo.
Thanks for your help and time, but it looks like the backup I took with v6 isn't of any use, and I'll have to start again from fresh.
But I might run with Hell's Fusion as that looks good!
The reason I started all this was because the phone keeps messing up whilst in a call e.g. putting the call on hold, or speaker. I've tested the proximity sensor and thats OK, so I was going to try a custom ROM to see if that cured the problem.

If you can get into recovery now it should be cwm5
You can try flashing hells fusion now and see if it boots - if not flash stock rom via odin

[Q] Galaxy Y custom kernel problem

So yeah, hey XDA, first post here
I have got a problem with my SGY, whenever i flash a custom kernel via CWM, I get stuck at splash screen. And when i flash stock kernel via Odin, phone boots normally.
Do you guys know what is the problem?
Kernels I have tried:
1.Kuro - loop at splash
2.Hells-fusion - loop at splash
3.Savie - stuck at splash
Any help would be really appreciated.

Most likely you failed to mount system before flashing the zip or your baseband needs updating
Make sure you goto mounts & storage in cwm and mount system before flashing any zip (will display "unmount system" if it is mounted)
To update baseband flash one of the latest stock roms via odin - see my firmware thread - link it signature

Yeah I did mount everything in CWM, it's probably the baseband thing. I have the latest firmware file for my region (Baltic States). Will it work?
Here is the version of it:
PDA:XXMI1
MODEM:XXMG1
CSC:SEBLL1
KERNEL:XXMI1
Anyways, gonna make a nandroid backup and try to flash the whole stock firmware.
EDIT:Flashed stock with wipe, rooted, flashed savie - no luck.

Yes that's the latest firmware
The only other thing I can think of is that you are using the wrong cwm
Here is my one - Flash it in stock recovery then mount system & flash zip
http://d-h.st/u2m
Also there are different versions of savie - make sure you are using the stock one if on stock rom and not the cm one
I would use hells fusion #50 myself for testing

You can format data and wipe cache & delvik cache & see if it boots
Other than that without seeing your phone I cannot offer anything else

All I can say is long as you are the right one - there's one for stock and one for cm7 but I'd just use hells fusion #50
