Hi, I have installed seeARMS ROM and followed his instuction. I have kept the JL2 modem and speedmod kernell (I was already on speedmod). I have tried 2 methods to install. The seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4.zip with the seearms file and the CWM.
Both install went OK and I even had a congratulations screen. The problem is when the phone reboot it stays on the boot animation and get stuck there. I have tried 2 different boot animation and the same happen.
I have no problem to restore my data since I had backup but I would like to have the seearms ROM. Any idea?
Also a side question, can we get the new CK1 modem with seearms?

Have you been wiping your phone before flashing the rom? I have been having issues like you describe only when i flashed a rom w/o wiping.
(In CWM Recovery: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache)
No. I did not wipe. I am not interested in the new ROM if it mean wiping. I made a test by downloading a boot animation app. I trying 2 different boot animation and had the same result. The boot animation play with no sound but I have a vibration during boot and then nothing. Eventually it go back to the animation, vibrate and this repeat until I restore the backup.
I am wondering if tehre is something special about the Bell Canada boot animation?
Can I use the seearms without any boot animation folder?
I don't think it's a problem about the boot ani in particular.
I am not very familiar with the rom, since i have another device. In the seearms rom thread the dev mentioned two versions of the rom, one that requires wiping and one that does not.
So i guess it could be working out to flash the latter w/o wiping. But in my expirience those things rarely work out that way.
There might be incompabilities with the config data left behind by the rom installed before, or other possible issues.
Only way to be sure that those things aren't blocking anything is to wipe the phone and do a clean flash.
Personally i always do it that way. And if i like the rom, and choose to use it, it is always possible to get back all the apps and settings back with titanium backup and/or syncing them back.
But as always before wiping, if you choose to do so, please be sure to have a full nandroid backup, in case you want to go back, or something goes wrong.
I will try the wipe version
What rom were u on before seearms
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I was still on stock (froyo 2.2). Actually still on it today
You were right. The wipe version worked fine. I have now to decide to keep it or not...lol
ROM is awasome was worth well the trouble.
Glad it worked out for you - have fun with the rom

Hi all,
So after I flash a new ROM (MIUI MGv2/RC8vC/MGv1) I always hang at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen - the first boot screen.
I am wondering what this means? is it a corrupt file, something wrong with my internal sdcard, ROM not installed properly?
Please help,
Thanks.
some times a wipe from recovery will help and goes back to normal boot
many issues may cause this problem for instance if framework.jar or android.policy.jar or... have some bugs , will happen like that
Hi,
By wipe you mean clearing the formatting system, data, cache, dalvik cache and a factory reset? I ask this because the MIUI roms are not are non-wipe and the instructions recommend you to format those places before install (which I did).
I mean wipe cache partition from recovery. just try it and ley us know if it works
Well I just tried again but it doesn't work because I can't access recovery mode. It hangs at the Galaxy S screen and doesn't move from there so I'm wondering why because if I can't fix the bad install then I can't access the recovery mode and can only flash.
if recovery dont work BUT download mode does,
start the whole process again, flash back to stock froyo with froyo bootloader.
did you come to MIUI from Gingerbread ??
Well i've done the process like 10 times, nearly every single time from froyo (JPU,JS5,Ezbase 2.0) and I also went from 2.1 to 2.2 and then to MIUI. The other times I have tried coming from CM7 as CM7 works.
well i have a similar issue but in my case i just wiped my data thru cwm on darky v8 xxjpy..
now i get boot loops,any idea what should i do??
i know this is not exactly the thread but if i get my answer it'll save me from starting a new one..
When I got bootloops i normally reflashed. If you don't have data it will probably work?
I assume you have data as your on Dark v8 when V9 is out?
i dont understand by have data??
i flashed v9.5 but went back to v 8 few months ago..
today i just wiped/factory reset my phone using cwm and it was succesful but now its bootloops and vibrations..
i never wiped my phone before and only have flashed using cwm,never used odin for flashing roms!!
OH I see, by data i meant personal data that you might want to back up...I'm not to most knowledgeable but I know how to flash roms. I reckon you should try to flash V8 it again if you can enter recovery.
I really need urgent help. I have recently ( 2 days back) purchased Galaxy note GT- N7000. I tried rooting the note using CWM. I was able to complete it.
I have used CWM, CWM Recovery and flashed kernel with franklin latest version. I have tried all these as 4G T-Mobile data not working. Now after all these phone getting hung very frequently and getting restarted.
please direct me to correct thread to reset everything back to original factory setup. I tries using factory setup , wipe cache etc. but kernel and CWM recover not getting uninstalled.
Please help me with instructions to reset my phone back to original settings.

try to remove your sd card to see if it stops hanging/rebooting. If it does, remove any app that you could have installed in the sd card. Then in your pc format the sd card.
CWM won´t dissapear until you flash the stock kernel since the kernel you flashed has it.
So try to flash the stock kernel for your rom with pc odin, or just reflash a stock rom.
Just flash a different kernel......and everything will be back to normal...frnks latest version is a bit buggy....try speedmod...and flash kernels only on custom roms...not stock roms...
My i9305 LTE is caught in a boot loop (just loops the start-up screen of any ROM I install). I have access to CWM recovery v6.0.4.5 and also download recovery.
The only thing I can think that might have caused this was when I installed Archidroid I (foolishly?) selected the only partition that wasn't ext4, to be set as ext4. It's not booted past any of the bootscreens on any ROM since I did this.
I've tried wiping all data and cache and also doing a data/factory reset and every "clear data" option available and I'm still caught in a boot screen loop on any ROM I try.
I've formatted each of the folders on the device by mounting and formatting (I don't need to keep any data on the phone) and then to get a new ROM on the phone I've inserted an SD Card, mounted it in CWM recovery and installed it from the .zip that way, all ROMs I've tried just lock up at their boot screen, it just loops over and over.
I've searched this forum and on Google but cannot find a solution or anyone with a similar issue, most that have had a similar looping problem say they performed an Odin factory reset, which brings me to my next question.
I don't know the region of my phone as I cannot access the dialler or any of my settings to find out the region, and forgot (as I rooted so long ago). I do have on the back of the phone the codes:
FCC ID: A3LGI9305
SSN: -I9305GSMH
as well as my IMEI #
How do I know my phone region, and which firmware/rom would I use to perform a full factory reset to at least get it booting again?
Any tips/ideas please, that would be much appreciated.

what country do you live? the region is the country you live in, just search for your official firmware on sammobile or samsung update site. and download the firmware for your country, flash it with odin.
also update your recovery to the latest available in your case cwm 6.0.4.7

I live in Australia but am slightly worried as I bought my phone from Koga online so it's an internationally shipped phone I think originally intended for the uk as it had a uk adaptor for the plug does this matter?

Hmm... Good question. I understand your issue here but im afraid i cant answer this.. While it was working what firmware was running on it? What baseband? If you have any kind of info of the working firmware, analyze it with firmwares on those sites and try to find the one you need.

Well I was in the same pickle
whicever 4.3 rom i flashed through odin i got stuck in boot logo or even if i recovered device from odin through emergency frimware and intillation
Also tried customs 4.3 roms stuck a boot logo
Here what u should try and what i did
1 flash philz recovery + 4.1.2 rom
if it works back up efs
2 Using Philz recovery wipe data factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache
3 in mount and storage section format everything ( THINK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP )
4 Used odin to flash a 4.3 stock package it worked ( note u may get knox from this u may try a modifed stock package if u dont have knox and dont want to get it )

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll give that a shot tonight. I'm able to get into CWM as explained, mount and format everything so I'm not sure that this step will make a difference, but I'll do it again anyway.
So I'll see how it goes tonight. Actually been quite refreshing without a phone these past couple of days

I managed to fix it, but it had me totally stumped for a while.
I flashed philz recovery and then formatted all of the directories as I'd done previously on CWM.
I tried Slim Rom which didn't work.
I ended up tying CyanogenMod stable which actually worked, it got past the boot loop phase! - I was glad to see a setup screen after 2 days!
I then had another issue with my Cell Reception not working, no data or reception would be shown.
This seemed to happen since I tried a KitKat ROM, as I remember before the bootloop it did this on a couple of ROMs I tried to manually enter the APN over and over and it wouldn't let me save it, very annoying.
I checked the baseband in the about phone section and it was being displayed as "unknown", luckily I remembered my baseband # from when I rooted the phone about 8 months ago (XXBLL3), then I found on this forum a list of 9305i baseband downloads as .zips so I was able to load up CWM and flash it, reboot and it worked!
I will be keeping with CM Stable (10.1.3) for a while now.
I hope this helps someone else that might run into a similar issue.

Cheers on getting ur phone fixed but after wiping all directories a stock rom flash would have cleared all the problems
lol i just did this to my phone, time to find a stock firmware.
I wanted to try and install a custom ROM on my Note 5 N920CXXS3BPL5. As you would guess, I messed up. I wiped the whole system, including the backups. Now the phone is booting into TWRP. But I cannot go ahead from there.. Tried to install many ROMs, although they get installed, they get stuck at loading after installation.
Do we have anyone in UAE in this forum?
Can someone help me to install a CustomROM for this phone please....
Try gOing back to stock rom and try again .. If you can boot the phone into download mode you can easily install stock rom through odin or Samsung smart software...
