Hi everyone, seasons greeting's and all that
So, I have successfully rooted my phone (after lots of reading etc) with the SpeedMod kernel which IMHO makes my phone fly, quite impressed indeed.
I'm unfortunately a novice and I am having trouble installing a ROM, although it works perfectly well when I have to flash back to stock with odin.
I completed the required wipes as suggested is always performed when installing new ROMs. I placed the zip (tried this with CheckROM and Hyperdroid on numerous occasions) on the internal memory (external 2gb memory still in situ) and via CWM proceeded to "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from internal sdcard", the flash process took all of 1.5mins which I thought was far too quick.
When prompted, I reboot the phone with the option on CWM and basically get stuck at the image in the pic below, even after waiting 30-60mins
Any help greatly appreciated as I am really keen on trying some great ROMs from some great devs.
Many Thanks, Rizur.

Are you selecting 'flash zip' or 'install zip from SD card' then selecting the file?
1.5 minutes also sounds about right.

Sorry, I am indeed selecting "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from internal sdcard".
Get back into recovery and flash the file again, or restore a previous backup. Otherwise get into download mode and flash a rom that was specifically made to be flashed through odin, there's a few of them.
Cheers! I'm currently on stock with SpeedMod kernel, I may try and flash again or find those odin based ROMs you speak of.
flash a rom with odin like lighning to see if its working
I am currently on UltraToxic ROM, mainly because I'm struggling to flash via CWM.
All is well so far though so I'm happy
A clue ??
Copy custom rom zip xxxx .zip or whatever its called to internal sd card .
Boot to recovery cwm .
select Install zip from sd card .
choose zip from sd card or depending upon CWM version choose zip from internal sd card .
Navigate to named zip file xxxx.zip select then answer yes in the next window .
Should now install and boot .
If fails it would be worth checking your version of cwm and maybe even install a new cwm and root kernal or start over and wipe the phone .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
followed by cwm and root
then your custom rom of choice .
jje
What I can say is these.
Turn off phone.
Enter cwm again.
Wipe everything.
Try reflash and it should work now.
Good luck!

Thanks guys!
JJEgan, I will try your advice mate, hopefully I will get this thing running CheckROM as I would like
I'm in no hurry but would be nice to be able to test out more ROM's!
Once again much appreciated guys!

Did my frist flash and now everything is messed up (JL2 seeARMS) - for the belli9000m
basically I can get into my phone - but everything is black (i can't see anything other than the status scren) and the home/back button doesn't work - can't see nothing else
I did a factory reset, wipe, cache, etc. everything - and reinstalled the ROM via CWM yet still nothing works
I desperately need help
Install the correct Bell rom via Odin, not CWM. That should fix it.
you mean to start all over kinda thing ? like download the correct Bell JL2 rom (the official one) and use ODIN to install it ?
I still don't understand why everything is blank - like i can pull down status bar and select voicemal to make a call, receive txts even, but nothing else is there - nothing
how does this even happen
Well it's weird, I'll give you that, but your phone is far from "DEAD". Probably some files are failing to load, or were not included in that ROM that you flashed. Flashing the official one will fix it.

ok last question - once I find / dl the original firmware from bell/samsung (JL2) - and I go into download mode and use ODIN - WHAT BOXES DO I TICK/CHECK - because I've only used odin to flash a kernal (and just used pda) I can assume it's not the same as I'll need the original kernal correct ?
do I tick all the boxes? any tutorials on this I'm lost.
also, how big are these files - i am at work behind a firewall so I can't dl the original firm ware from
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
but I need the JL2
if anyone wants to d/l it and email it to me it would be awesome
[email protected]
The files are big (~160MB), I don't think they will fit in your gmail
Here's the download link from samfirmware.com for I9000UGJL2
http://www.multiupload.com/6GRS1OWRJW (password is samfirmware.com)
You just select the .tar file in Odin in the PDA field, don't tick anything else, and flash. Example below:

Anyway, before you do all that, have you tried wiping the phone from recovery mode? It might help.
You can also try asking seeARMS for help in his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906977

I know how to get back to stock now - i am just curious about how to re-flash the rom - I want to get this rom on my phone.
I tried flashing it again via CWM - it's even worse, i get into android, but it's blank, black, nothing's there, no buttons work, etc.
so what I was SUPPOSED to do was unzip the original rom .zip file and delete the extra stuff ? then rezip it and flash THAT file via CWM ?
that wasn't in the instructions -- look at the instructions it gives you 2 options:
-------------
"1. Download and extract the file you downloaded above to the root of your internal SD card (both the "seearms" folder and the .ZIP ROM file).
If you would like to customize your install, continue doing step 2. If you would like a stock install with all the applications + SpeedMod kernel + JL2 modem + Generation X theme, skip to step 3"
3. Boot into recovery, and select "Install zip from sdcard".
4. Select "Choose zip from sdcard", and scroll to the ROM.
------------
I did what it said - I did a stock install and skipped to step 3 without doing 2a-2e (custom install)
no where in the instructions did it say I had to open up the .zip file and delete contents then rezip it and flash that file
I need to know how to flash this "custom" rom as per the instructions via seeARM himself -- i didn't do the "custom" and that's what messed me up
ok i flashed with stock JL2 and now i get 10000 force closes
why is this ? anyone ?
Hi Guys
I flashed my phone with ICS f/w Lightening ROM but I didn't like it because of FCs and higher batter consumption so I decided to come back to CHeckROM v6 and Phenomenol Kernel.
I did a data wipe, partition wipe, dalvik cache wipe before flashing CheckROM over Lightening ICS ROM and again deleted dalvik cache after installing Phenomenol Kernel.
Now I don't have root. I'm unable to use Applications like Root Call Blocker, Root Explorer and Voltage Control
I tried flashing my phone with different Kernels like N.E.A.K , RedPill etc but didn't get root back. What could be the issue ?

Flash chainfire kernel in original development thread using odin.
Thanks, that's what I'm trying right now.
I have downloaded concerned firmware from his thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14733439&postcount=534 and flashing as I write. I'll report back
"I did a data wipe, partition wipe, dalvik cache wipe before flashing CheckROM on Lightening ICS and again deleted dalvik cache after installing Phenomenol Kernel. "
sentance is not clear, are you still on ICS and flashed kenrel on that, or you flashed the Phenomenol, N.E.A.K , RedPill, etc after flashing checkrom ??
EDIT : if you are on Checkrom V6 and you lost root then just unzip this file to get TAR file and flash from ODIN http://download.chainfire.eu/144/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip you will gain the root
Now on CHeckROM. I was explaining what all I did before returning to GB ROM from ICS ROM

Thanks my friend. I download the exact same file but getting some error flashing this Kernel from CWM. I also extracted the .tar file and tried via ODIN but ODIN doesn't detect my phone in DOwnload mode

Thanks a lot bud. After installing Kies, I was able to use ODIN and flash the tar file. Got root back and not flashed my favorite Kernel over it. Root is retained. Thanks again

It's my pleasure,
you can use Kitchen from Checkrom to download your favorirte kernels and flash....
if falshing directly not working from Kitchen you can now manually do it from CWM...
get into the checkrom thread and explore....everything is discussed there....
Yeah, I know that but since I lost root, KichenROM was not able to automatically boot in CWM and flash those downloaded file, I had to manually flash them.
I was trying to install Cyanogenmod 9 earlier and updated my CWM. Now I can't get it to view anything on my SD card and I have no ROMs on my internal, what do?

what did you update on CWM?
cant you mount your phone thru cwm, to be seen on your pc to copy a ROM over to install/flash?
Are you still trying to install CM9?
if all else fails you can use one of the "one click to stock" then put cwm (i use touch), then put a ROM to flash on...

Just because your in recovery and no roms show in your files doesn't mean your stuck. Just hit reboot system now and it'll take you back
Biggest dog on the block, NOTE!! ICSed AOKP
also you can try to mount the SD while in recovery then hook up to pc via usb cable and copy the ROM
note i haven't checked CWM recently so the option to mount SD might no longer be there

That would be the dumbest thing to remove...It's in mounts and storage...like always
I was recently in the same boat.
It all else fails you can use Odin to push a kernel or rom or what ever. This assumes you can get into download mode.
How can I push from ODIN please? I am looking but not sure.

I just did this to my phone. I flashed the new CWM on from Rom manager and then booted to recovery. I cleared all the sys data and caches to flash a new rom and then none of my system files will show up and my phone also wont go into download mode. Kies and my computer wont recognize my device now that im stuck in recovery either. No idea how im going to fix it....

I am really stuck.
Tried to root, looked good.
flashed CWM... looked good.
Tried to flash CM9...
whoa.... things went pretty weird.
Now, I cannot get sdcard mounted, or formatted.
I guess I had a corrupted .zip file, but now how do I get the file onto the phone. (ATT Note without external SD)
And now... I cannot even browse to a zip file to install in CWM... bounces back to menus.
Please help?

Go into download mode on your device by holding the volume down and power at the same time. Then use odin on your computer to flash a stock rom or use the emergency recovery method.

Basically, there are 3 types of flash method for K900
SDFUSE
OTA Recovery
MFT (Manufacturing Flash Tool)
There is a lot of question, asking about why same version of VIBEROM_V1.0_1411_ST_K900 have so many method of flashing.
There are too many information from the general thread. so I create new thread here for beginner to understand more about flashing.
From my understanding, there are only one version ROM (eg. VIBEROM_V1.0_1411_ST_K900).
But there are a few format for different flashing method.
1) SDFUSE
This format usually flash by create sdfuse folder in internal SD. Normally for update ROM
Copy files system.img.gz, boot.bin, dnx_firmware.bin, etc. (or .inb file which is the one and only one file) into sdfuse folder.
Shutdown and boot up by pressing power + volume up for couple of seconds
select SDUpdate and press power to start.
After done select power off, then power on again. (direct reboot may cause boot loop)
2) OTA Recovery
The format of rom is in ZIP. The zip is signed and there will be checksum (SHA1 and MD5) during flash. so the zip is unable to modified before flashing.
this method normally for update ROM too.
Copy update.zip file into sd card (recommended is at root of SDCard) and shutdown.
Boot up by pressing power + volume up for couple of seconds, then select recovery.
wipe data / Factory reset and wipe cache partition ( optional, which will wipe all data in sdcard)
apply update from internal storage and select update.zip
system will reboot after done.
This does not works for me to upgrade to 4.3 where I am on Qubex Vibe ROM v4.
But there are a lot of K900 user able to flash original Vibe ROM v7 and follow the above method and upgrade successfully.
Refer this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51069544&postcount=3142 or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51128922&postcount=3199
if you are using official Vibe Rom v7. There are a easier way to flash.
copy the downloaded OTA zip file into SD Card.
Go to System upgrade, swipe left get menu, and select tools.
Touch Install specified update package and browse for OTA Zip file in sd card.
Touch install Now.
3) MFT
This method require computer with driver and software installed and USB cable for sure.
Refer this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51162040&postcount=3245
I got this method successfully when I am on non-official Vibe rom.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks to Onesjy at lenovo forum.
http://bbs.lenovo.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=154595&extra=page=1
Edited:
From my experience, the MFT method is always succeed.
Url for latest 1418_DEV MFT : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52500023&postcount=3745
MFT
i know how to use it but where can i find Manufacturing Flash Tool 6.0.2??
As far reported to me by QuBeX the ADB mode is not working on that device... I guess for the issue we have with MFT, it is the only solution we can look for also because I haven't forum (and have to open it) a thread where to speak about the recovery of a stock ROM.
About the Method N.3, most of the compatibility issues are related to the OS you are working on.
For the Settings you have to apply what you see below...

Hello there.
A couple of months back my friend was having trouble with her S3 and she had to reset e every couple of days. So I instructed her to install Cyanogenmod via the official installer. She did and it worked.
A few days back she told he it won't update and I guessed that it won't for the lack of CWM so I told her to get Rashr from the Play Store and flash a custom recovery, which she did successfully. Even though the phone wouldn't update anyway.
So last night she told me that her phone stopped booting up completely. When booting to recovery and trying to flash a zip through CWM doesn't work because it keeps telling her "E: no sd card" or something like that. Now she doesn't have an SD card, but my understanding is that this refers to the internal storage too. So why can't the recovery read it?
Furthermore I tried to get her to flash another recover via Odin, but Odin fails to flash

Seems ok from what i can see. Maybe rookie mistake, usb debbuging on?
if it is on then you need to flash stock rom and root again.

To be honest I'm not sure if it's on or not since the device isn't booting up anymore.
How can I flash the stock Rom from recovery when it can't even see the storage?

You can't you need odin to flash any stock rom not a recovery.
Can you still get into download mode? If so try to flash a full stock rom from Sammobile with odin if that fails try the emergency recovery here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 <<
