URGENT! Custom ROM and CWM issues - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA,
I installed a custom ROM, HydrOxyG3NMOD V2 right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398628
I did as I always do, I went into recovery, backed up, wiped/factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, installed .zip from sd card and installed it.
Initial setup was good, then I went to the Market, download Titanium and restored everything.
Kept getting two errors: "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and the same for "calendar storage". I Forced Closed both to have them appear 2 seconds after every. single. time.
I can barely use the phone. So I decided I was going to wipe and restore my previous ROM, WanamLite v7.6.
Rebooted into Recovery, went into wipe/factory reset and I only get these 5 options: "NO" "NO" "NO" "NO" "NO". Same options for restoring without wiping.
So, basically, I'm effed up.
What can I do?
I really need your help..

Reflash your CWM root kernel .tar with Odin, or zImage with mobile Odin, CWM manager, hellcat k-tool, darky ROM app etc etc

You must have lost the CWM recovery. You need to reinstall a custom kernel with the CWM included.

Just like 2 previous post, just flash the custom kernel (I prefer CF-Root) using Desktop ODIN and you'll get your CWM back

u need to re-flashed all than install CWM

[Q] Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure when trying to Wipe Data

Hey folks,
I've recently tried installing the latest version of the Siyah kernel (I had CL-Root before that).
I installed the Kernel from the zip on my sdcard,
after that I went to the main CWM menu and chose Wipe Data/Factory Reset on the menu,
everything went smooth until the following line:
Code:
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
I tried rebooting afterwards and went into a bootloop.
I re-installed the previous ROM I had using ODIN (this re-installed CL-Root which came with the ROM again) and tried rebooting, and again - bootloop.
I entered CWM again, and again chose Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and got the same error as above, but this time, after I rebooted, the O/S went up just fine...
Has anyone ever bumped into this? I really want to upgrade my kernel to Siyah, how can I do that without having this problem again?
Thanks!
hey m8 did u get any thing to solve this problem ? i have the exakt same in my Galaxy Note, really enojing
It may be an Odin file.
ive had that. try flashing a siyah 2.6.8 kernal when you bootloop via ODIN. so if it boot loops. dont wipe again. put it in download mode and flash the siyah .tar

[Q] Need help - Can't get past recovery.

Hi guys.
I got a problem.
Got tired of lags, so i decided to wipe (data + dalvik) and reinstall Omega 27.1.
Now i can't boot up the phone - it just starts up CWM (6.0.1.2) when i reboot. Have tried to pull battery and when i insert it recovery just comes up.
What have i missed?
I have tried to install again, with and without wipes but still the same.
Can't restore nandroid either. Getting error on restoring /data, and just comes back to CWM again.
I'm kinda stuck.. ideas?
EDIT:
Just did a nandroid restore, error on restoring /data as always, but i rebooted and got into Android. I had to type in my google account information again, and all apps crashes all the time.
So I rebooted to recovery, and installed 27.1 (did a full wipe again), and now i can't get past recovery again.
Wtf?

If you can get into download mode, flash a stock rom samsung www.sammobile.com with ODIN, then get root permissions and cwm with ]cf-root 6.4

Yes, it seems to be the only thing to do..
But does anyone know what is causing this?
Can't be the boot.img, because restoring the boot (wipes+restores) doesn't work. And installing a new rom also adds a new boot.img.

[Q] Problem installing custom rom

Hi Guys
Im having some problems trying to install a custom rom into my new Galaxy SIII I9300.
The rom in question is OmegaRom V35
After roooting and all, yesterday i tryed installing the rom with mobile odin, following all the instructions.
The result was the phone rebooted after the instalation seemed to be ok, but got stuck on the booting animation, and never got out of there.
I Had then to inject cwm with odin desktop, wiped data, cache anda dalvik, and then proceed to install the stock rom with desktop odin. All went well and the phone worked great.
I thought that maybe the problem was with mobile odin pro. So today, i went and proceeded to install Omega V35 via CWM. I again put the file on internal sd card, wiped data, cache and dalvik, and the rom started flashing. It all started good but, with no warning, at the mniddle of the installation, when applications were being installed, the phone went automatically and wuickly back to CWM!
Of course the installation wasnt finished, so i was stuck with cwm on reboot. Again made wipe data, cache and Dalvik, tried again to flash Omega V35, and again, the same problem...
In the end, i had to flash the stock rom again.
I searched the forum, but i cant seem to find the problem for this. I followed all the instructions, and had no error messages besides CWM skiping the format of the card, and some message (that i've seen in videos as normal), when wiping Dalvik!
Any clue to what's happening?
A clue read the instructions for the rom .
<b>Installation:Install CWM Recovery with Odin - Get CWM Recovery here
Boot to CWM Recovery using volume up, power button and home key
Backup your device and make sure to keep a copy of the backup to your pc!
Wipe data / factory reset (Not needed if you already have Omega)
Install Omega
(Wipe cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step
Wipe dalvik cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step)​</b>

Maybe i didn't expressed myself correctly, but today i followed those instructions twice, and, at each of these tries the
same thing happened. When the flashing was running apparently problemless it simply stoped and went to CWM without rebooting.

None whatsoever. The flashing process seems to be running ok, It starts, i select default instalation, after i can see the apps being installed and suddenly, it all stops and goes into cwm without any message or warning...

[q] help to run my phone

I have Samsung galaxy Y handset. I just rooted it for trying new ROM. I installed the zip file of klerks and also the custom ROMs cyanocream v3 and paranoid. I switched the phone to recovery mode and clicked 'apply the custom rom' option. And since it wasn't showing the wiping and the other formatting option, I clicked 'reboot' option. And from then the phone isn't running, I see only the Samsung logo it shows on switching. I tried everything, the recovery mode is also not running, took the battery out but still same problem. Can you please crack this problem? I need my phone!
I dont own this device so Im not sure what's the process (although im familiar with the whole galaxy family), but I do wonder, did you install custom recovery (like CWM)? Did you make a backup before applying the ROM?
Can you still access the recovery mode? Whenever i mess up an installation, i usually search for an stock rom and flash it via the external SD card.
Perhaps this might come helpful

i am still not able to run the custom rom.
I rooted my phone.
Opened up the CWM v5, and wiped-data,cache partition, format data, format cache, mounted all drives,---
went into advance to wipe dalvik cache and the other data.
Installed the custom rom by opening the zip file through install zip from sd.
I installed the custom rom (tried all, jellybean, cyanocream v3, paranoid, icecream).....
BUT EACH TIME EITHER IT STOPED WITH Samsung Galaxy Y logo screen OR at logo of cyanocream (when installing cyanocream).
SO I HAD TO FLASH MY PHONE EACH TIME WITH STOCK ROAM THROUGH ODIN. Then it works on its standard android.
I tried many times. Checked all steps. Checked all videoes.
I CANT MAKE OUT WHERE AM I MAKING MISTAKE EXACTLY ?????? Can any one please tell me the most accurate and effective correct method to do this successfully?

I don't own this phone too but my mother has . Did you flash the kernel for custom rom such as 'white xp kernel' for cynocream before flashing the rom? You can download it from the same post you download the rom and you can backup your stock rom in cwm so if anything happen you can boot to cwm and restore it back.

Try this if you are using CM based roms.
Go to CWM. Wipe data, wipe cache, go to mounts and storage mount all (except SD card) install kernel zip(not ROM zip, use kernel zip) go to advanced NEVER WIPE DALVIK CACHE AND BATTERY STATS WHEN INSTALLING ROM, reboot recocery, you will get mounting error. Ignore it. format all (except SD card). Install rom zip reboot. I have used this many times and no fail yet.
I own this device and if you have any problem feel free to ask.
If you want instructions for any ROM, reply here with Rom's link.

[Q] Help me! Stuck at CWM

I had my phone rooted and successfully got superuser access. From Rom manager, using cwm, i planned to backup my rom as i was intending to flash a custom rom in a few days. When i started the backup, my phone rebooted into cwm and the backup was finished in like 2-3 minutes.
It rebooted again but to the cwm and not android. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. Still rebooting into cwm. I tried restoring from sdcard using my backup of ROM. But it gives a md5 mismatch error. Please help me to figure this out! And access my android. I dont want a new rom. :crying:
Worked it out myself! Thanks!
