Hi guys,
I just need some short advise:
My dad flashed CM10 nightly a few days ago.
Before that he had a stock froyo rom (i don't know which version exactly) but with root and CWM.
Flashing CM10 worked but he had same bugs (baseband deleted, reboots every 10 minutes), so he flashed CM9 stable hopeing to get these things right. but it didn't, baseband was still gone. So he decided to restore his nandroid backup and go back to his froyo stock.
but that ended in a total disaster and the phone won't boot anymore. it is stuck at the white "Galaxy S" screen (before boot animation).
My dad said, that he tried to restore his backup a 2nd time. but he got many errors including "unknown volume for path /data"
He is a little bit frightened that he could brick his phone completely so he asked me for help.
Well, I don't know what to do besides flashing a stock gingerbread rom + kernel +baseband/modem with Odin.
Am I right with this? Or do you guys got some other advise for me.
thanks for help
try factory reset must done after restore
are you sure?
shouldn'd this be done before restore?
by doing a wipe, I would need to do 2 restors in order to keep my apps..
As the partition layout of CyanogenMod and stock are different, and thus stock partition layout is needed, you have to flash stock using Odin with pit512 and partition enabled. After that restore should work as well.
Besides: If baseband is missing in CM, try to flash a CM modem.

yes, you need to be on a GB 2.3.6 to upgrade to CM, so use a recovery kit , link below on MY android collections to recover and have a working phone before think moving on to CM
Galaxy S I9000 won't boot after cm10
Hi
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I've searched, but have no phone now, it won't boot after installing CM10 28/12/2012. It was running, but I wanted to do a nand restore, it said it couldn't find the backup.
It now won't boot, it's stuck on the original Galaxy S GT-I9000 boot screen
This is really urgent (I know... like everything else)... can anyone help me PLEASE??
Thanks

Hi all,
My dad has a galaxy s. Since the stock samsung firmware is pretty bad, I installed darky's ultimate rom v10.2 on his phone, about a week ago. I have a galaxy s2, running miui, and my dad liked the interface.. so he asked me: can I have that too?
So I said, sure! I wiped his phone with clockworkmod, and flashed the miui zip. (After backing up darky's firmware offcourse)
But.. after about 1 hour of usage, he didn't like miui anymore, so he asked me if I could restore to darky's rom... so.. I went to clockworkmod, and hit the restore button. Unfortunately, it gave an error, saying something about "can't restore boot"
I tried it again.. same error.
Luckilly, I had another backup, of the stock rom, before i flashed darky. So I tried to restore that backup..
I don't know what happened, but clockworkmod doesn't work anymore. Everytime i try to do something, it keeps giving errors about unable to mount this, unable to mount that, bla bla bla.
And the phone wont boot..
However, i'm still able to access download mode.
So i think it's possible to restore it completely, but can you guys give me some advice? What should I flash with odin, and can you provide a link?
I'm really hoping for a quick respond because my dad is not happy with his phone being "dead".
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure Miui is not based on something other then samsung? Maybe you should try and flash a stock firmware (e.g. 2.3.4), then root for CWM, and restore that way?
Ok, you have to know:
For MIUI you just need a GB-bootloader as base and you can easily flash MIUI through CWM. But MIUI (and CM7 too) don't use the RFS-filesystem as Samsung-based ROMs (they use MTD/yaffs2 as the Nexus). So you can't restore Darky easily.
But you can do this:
- Reboot into download mode (3-button-combo)
- Flash any Samsung-based stock-FW with Odin
- Flash any kernel which fits your GB-firmware and which includes CWM
- Restore your Darky-backup through CWM
For stock go to http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
Download and follow the steps in the thread, voila, recovery done
If u wanna go back to Darky's u can check Darky's ROM 10.2 Resurrection. But just for a clean install i would flash a stock JVQ first and then install Darky's.
Thanks for the reply's everyone, gonna try it this evening, when i'm home

Hi guys can some one please help me..
I bought my Galaxy ace last week with gingerbread 2.3.4 (India) in it. i had taken backup using CWM 4. then i updated to CWM5 and installed " CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7 (upd: 12.10.2011)" on my phone. i almost liked this ROm but this ROm eats up my battery very fast.. so i decided to roll back to my official ROM which i had backed up. but when i restore the phone it gets stuck in Galaxy ace screen.
Please help me .. how do i restore my backup.
there were no errors during the backup nor during the restore..
Please help..!!
in cwm do a full wipe and then try to restore backup --> never tried this but somewhere read it works...
if this doesn't work then flash ddkq6 firmware from sammobile.com with odin.. install cwn and rollback backup
try the first one ... second one surely will do it

it has been asked many times ...search forum ..... it is not restoring because cm 7 uses ext format..and stock uses .rfs.... so u have to convert .ext to .rfs before restoring ... this can be done with ext manager ...( comes with cf-root)
Press thanks if i helped.
Wait. Whatever you do, Making a nandroid backup of your stock rom won't work, it tends to create a md5 file mismatch, a few times, and don't ask me how.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but, just use ODIN all over again,load a stock rom, and things should be as light as rain. But then again, you'd revert to that crappy standard recovery, so flash that with cwm, once you're done ^_^
Ooh, and if I helped, click that shiny 'thanks' button, then.

Hi @amitkhetan69...
Sorry to break it to you this way but you are not getting back to stock from custom rom without a full Odin re-flash of stock rom...
Have you tried @Jusada's IceCream Sunday2 (Extreme speed) rom...? Use this rom with a good script that has the ability to manage system resources (check my sig for scripts (V8.5 etc.)). These scripts give excellent battery managment along with many other top drawer tweaks...
There really is no need for you to go through the headache of returning to stock (unless your returning the phone for whatever reason).
FYI : You will need CWM5 to flash any CM7.2 rom... CWM4 will brick ya phone flashing 7.2 rom... "DONT DO IT" CWM5 only for 7.2 roms... I see that you have CWM5 but this could be just incidental to your situation hence my warning (in case you did'nt actually know)...
Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...

Bro, this is because CM7.2 RC1 that you are using is having an ex4 filesystem where stock roms have rfs filesystem. In order to resove this problem, ive made a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606336
Only go uptill STEP 3, if you wish to retain your custom recovery and root.

ext4manager works perfectly. i restored from cm7.2 rc1 by vo-1 to stock using my nandroid backup. (ofcourse, fist converted the file partition using ex43manager )
Hey guys! First of all-sorry for being one of those people who post a question on thier first post.
I've been happily using TEAMHACKSUNG's ICS Build 15 for a couple of months with zero problem.
Restarted the phone a few hours ago in Recovery mode and cleared Cache+Dlavik Cache and after that, the phone couldn't boot. The Samsung screen shows first, then the CYANOGEN MOD screen, and Smasung again..in a loop.
Tried getting to Recovery mode, and nothing...same problem..
Download mode worked.
Please help me fix this situation. Hopfully without a full system wipe...\=
Thanks in advance! [=
Please help....I'm smartphone-less \=

I've flashed the stock CM7 Kernel and know I can get to recovery.
unfortunately, I don't have the rom's zip file on the internal card to flash it. I've managed to put the rom on the external sd card, but as it seems, there is no way to flash it through the external card.
I did a backup of my system thru CWM [don't have another one]. Thought of maybe flashing stock GB in odin, then CM7, then Teamhacksung's build 15, and then restore the backup I've just did.
Will it work or maybe there's a better idea?
Thanks!

I've flashed CM9 build 15 through all the instructions, with a couple of wipes in between...
Then, restored the nandroid backup and when all done-a weird colorful stripes appeared and nothing. So I installed Build 15 again and the phone booted!
Only problem now is for some reason, Messages aren't working, aswell as Facebook. And all my contacts gone [not a problem, but still-they were supposed to restore after the nandroid..]
Did I do something wrong? Can I fix the messages problem somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,
Alright so, I flashed RocketROM ICS v1 perfertly fine from a GB rom on my Galaxy Note N7000 the other day but I decided I wanted to try out a new modem for the phone. LA4 I think it was.
Flashed that fine and made nandroid backups beforehand just in case. Now I didn't like it all that much, signal was abit choppy etc etc so I decided to restore back to my old backup I made before.
However, during that restore process, my phone just kept restarting itself in the middle of the store, whilst it was restoring the system folder. So I was like ???, and the phone wouldn't start up again, so I kept trying to restore but no luck. The restarts only happened during restores. (and from what I know now, when I'm trying to flash something big (like a new ROM) via CMW)
So I thought, I'll just flash stock LPY ICS rom using Odin and start over again. But during the flashing, it gets stuck at "NAND write start" at about 80% repeatedly. Obviously by now the phone won't start so...
I was just wondering my options here?
(I still have download mode and recovery to use, however I'm all out of ideas )

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for that. What is CM9? Will I need to root first?
I've just attempted rooting. Does this result from Odin look normal?
Hey, Tox. Thanks for the advice. Why CM9? There are later versions, is CM9 the most stable? I'd like to try Slim Bean. Do I need to install that CM9 before I attempt to put Slim Bean on? Also, will I need any other files/apps? I've checked that my i9000 is rooted ok by doing an su in a terminal emulator.
Could anybody point me to a straight forward tutorial which could help me from where I'm currently at?
I've now installed clockworkmod recovery and created a backup to the SD card in recovery mode. I'm guessing the next steps should be pretty straight forward. I just need to know which files I have to download. What's the best Slim Bean for me to try and what other apps should I install with it?
Ok, I've screwed up. I installed clockworkmod recovery and created a backup. I tried flashing the latest Slim Bean ROM and addon pak but my phone wouldn't connect to the cell network. I attempted to recover from the backup using CWM but my phone is now stuck in a bootloop with the Samsung splash screen. Can anybody help me please?

you lost your IMEI , that's why i told you to flash CM9 first , to avoid loosing IMEI ,
reflash 2.3.6 firmware via odin , root it , flash CM9 , then flash slim bean rom
Thanks. I've just flashed 2.3.6 again and then applied CWM recovery but it still boot loops. Do you know why I couldn't just restore from the backup I'd created?
How can I flash the CM9 pack with Odin? It's a ZIP folder and wont recognise it. Please help.
Is there any other way around this? I've just installed SB again with the addon pack just so that I could get the CM9 onto my SD card. What's the best way to sort this out and get my IMEI number sorted?
Can anyone help me at all?? I have the IMEI number in the back of the phone if that's any use?

this how to install cm 9
Put it ( zip file ) to your phone's internal sd-card
Reboot to recovery (vol up + home + power)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sd-card
Choose zip from sd-card
Select cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip
Confirm
Wait
Go back
Reboot
the same you way you do with a JB rom
and please push thanks button ,
Thanks for the reply T. So should I do a full wipe (Wipe data/factory reset Wipe cache Advanced > wipe dalvik cache) before installing 2.3.6, then apply the CWM update followed by your instructions above? Will that recover my IMEI because, as you said, it's definitely no longer there.
I've just wiped everything and installed GB 2.3.6 and got the following messages. Does this look ok? Also, after I'd done that, I rooted it with CWM then tried installing the latest stable CM10 but now when I reboot, it shows the CM/Samsung screen as if it was booting then it just goes back to the CWM recovery What do I do now??
Success!
I've just powered up my phone again and suddenly the Cyanogen startup screen appeared! I powered down and put the SIM back in from my backup phone and I'm back on the phone network. I was reading up on lots of other complicated ways of recovering the IMEI and this has been really straight forward. I'm liking the Cyanogen 10.1.2 so far so might stick with that. Thanks so much for your help TT!
So to answer a few of your questions, I know I'm late to the party but for future reference
-The reason why Tox recommended flashing CM9 first is because problems can occur going straight from 2.3.6 to Jelly Bean in terms of your IMEI- your device's "identification". If you lose the IMEI, you lose the ability to connect to your network provider. Flashing CM9 and letting it boot as an intermediate step prevents this from happening. Once you've booted CM9 when you flash and you have reception, you're all goods to flash any JB rom from there.
-Your bootloop from recovering the backup that you made from Slim- I'm guessing it was a backup from 2.3.6- has nothing to do with the IMEI. Phones can boot without the IMEI. Its because the data partitions in 2.3.6 are different to those in Jelly Bean. Hence they're incompatible with each other- you tried to restore a different data partition that what was available on Slim Bean (because it was Jelly Bean).
-Flashing any 2.3.6 rom will restore your IMEI. However regarding the photo you took with the red error messages...
-That's because of the reason I mentioned above, with the data partitions. Because they're different, the phone can't recognise them and so can't boot, hence resulting in a bootloop. Easy way to fix this- there's a file called dbsdata.rfs.tar (its somewhere in these forums, right now I can't find a link). If you get that situation again, just pul the battery and reinsert it, go back into download mode, put dbsdata.rfs.tar in PDA, let it flash. That should put the right data partition on the phone.
Hope that these clarified some of your questions!

Now I've learned a little more, I can have a play around with different ROMS with a bit of confidence. :good: Any suggestions on good things to try out? I think I still need to apply some add-on's for this CM10.1.2 build as I don't have market place, google, FB etc.
