Updating roms on my galaxy 5 - Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500

Hello everyone...
I was wondering if I could get some help with my phone.. I have a Galaxy 5 and I live in Canada.. I used the "Clean Rom" and the I "igyaan" mod and I can get it to stop lopping at boot.. I can still get into CWM so I think I am kind of still safe?
Would anyone be able to help me out?
This is what I have tried...
I have tried wiping cache, data reset and wiping all the other stuff you are to wipe...I still get the loop..
I have heard something about I may have to update my baseband but I'm not sure how to do that and I was wondering if anyone would have links to the files I have to down load...
I have searched and searched for almost 4 days straight now for like hours and hours.. I'm really feeling hopeless..
Thanks to anyone who would like to help me

Over 125 views and not one single person here can help? Does anyone know a site I could go to that could possibly help me out?
Thanks

Try another rom man and if don't work you need rom for install from odin

Why try the "igyann mod" and stuff???
It's a unofficial repack of some older ROM..
Your safe, don't worry. Just try the latest cyanogenmod (vanilla or the other builds)
ROM's available on this site and MADTeam are all safe.

[Q] Cant Istall Any Roms with Boot Manager( "Init2Winit" any version)

i cant install any roms at all.. i purchased the newest boot manager from the market and im using a evo3d.. i have tried 4 or 5 different roms..I just dont know whats wrong and would like to kno if anyone has any suggestions. Below is a log from bootmanager, any help would be greatly appreciated, tia!

Does it tell you there's no Tom installed in the slot even if there is a name? Once I ran out of room on my SD and it seemed like it finished but never had the finished notification every time I tried to boot the Tom it told me no rom installed. What size SD are you using? How much is free? Are you trying to use a sense miui or aosp rom? I have had certain roms refuse completely to flash. If you still can't email the Dev im sure he would help you and make sure you read the FAQ in his webpage.

[Q] Flashed CM7 (with TWRP) No GSM and not detecting SIM Card

Good Morning everyone (or afternoon or night)!
Yesterday i flashed CM7 for the first time ever (Never flashed nothing before, except TWRP which i did it like 2 days ago.). Flashed it through TWRP Recovery and had a problem but solved it (froze on CM7 Logo). But this morning i noticed i had another problem, no GSM! When i flashed it and booted into system i found it wierd that it didnt ask me for my PIN but i was waaaaay to sleepy to think about it. But thats not all, as I found that i didnt had GSM, I also noticed that i didnt have my SIM contacts listed.
So if any of you could help me with this i would really appreciate it, as i really need my GSM working!
Any kind of help is welcome! Even if it means Flashing another ROM. Just really need my GSM working for now!
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 <-- Where i downloaded CM7
- Before CM7 i had the 2.3.3 official update
PS: Yesterday when i had that freezing problem at CM7 Logo i flashed the patch mik mentioned on the FAQ's (see "Q: I flashed rom and GSM don't works. What's to do?"). It says that would fix that freezing problem and also would fix the no GSM problem but it didnt!
Thank you all in advance for all the help you might give!

You can restore something only if you backed it up. So if you made a backup of your old ROM go into recovery and hit restore. If not either flash a .zip ROM or use KDZ.
Good and bad news guys! i restored my 2.3.3 stock ROM and managed to get GSM again.(had to downgrade the baseband for 2.3.3 stock), that is the good thing!
The bad thing(not that bad i think i can manage to get it ) is that i wanted to flash a custom ROM but im not sure if i should do it because i thought CM7 was one of the best ROM's to flash and i was amazed by it at first! But that GSM thingy got me a bit mad and a bit insecure about doing it again. I wouldnt get mad and would have kept the ROM if i had solved the GSM problem but i didnt!
Any suggestions of what i should do? Any ROM's suggestions? (preferably with that awesomeee CRT off animation [yeah every one loves it!])
Ill wait for your replies! thank you very much for everything you done to help!

If u want to have CM7 by Mik you have to downgrade your baseband. Short way is using KDZ to flash old version of firmaware (v10a or similiar), then ROOT, install custom recovery and then flash CM7.
Well the only experience i have at rooting was by rooting my p500 with 2.3.3 official with superoneclick! I dont really know how to downgrade the firmware and root it on froyo! But if anyone could provide the way to do that i would really appreciate it!
Btw im sry if im asking too much, but i prefer the opinion and help of a more experienced person than just me finding something and boom! Bricked! But i also search even if i ask you guys something!
Thank you very much for your help!

Read the entire guide, step by step!!!... Anyway it is pretty straightforward
BTW, remember to first install lg drivers on your pc... connect the phone via usb and disable LGE Virtual Modem drivers from device manager on windows,, --> this is extremely important to succeed!
My phone is ok again TakamineSubasa! i just needed an opinion on which ROM should i flash! I've done that guide and it went well! (for the 2.3.3 version! i think i messed up and used P500-v20G-baseband for CM7 [wrong one] and should have used P500-v10E-baseband). But ofc a stable ROM that doesnt have GSM problems :s
btw i was really disappointed with CM7 (or i just dont know nothing about it!). I used it all day (even though i had GSM) and i had no messaging widget, no market, and other things i dont remenber! If i flash it again is there a way to have those apps and widgets like normal stock ROM has?
Thank you very much for the help!

No market? U forgot a flash gapps. Other Widgets I dun think so.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Yep, as terratrix, you must flash gapps in order to get the market on your phone and install everything you want....
Concerning abt stock widgets, CM7 does not include any stock lg crap... although you can install them later if you want, there are posts on how to install stock **** again but dunno where they are ...
btw, --> here you have the lastest gapps available: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
for your security, flash this zip with Zip Signature Verification on in TWRP, to ensure that everything its going to be perfect
Thank you very much guys! ill probably flash sonygen but not sure yet! Need some opinions! if anyone is willing to give some i would appreciate!
Thanks for all the help!
Sonygen is pretty nice and fast. It's a themed cm7, so if you like the SE style go ahead and flash it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Awesome news! i decided to flash CM7 again! Did the tutorial terratrix provided right after i flashed it and GSM is working perfectly! (just dont know why i had to import my contacts to the phone! Aparentely CM7 doesnt read contacts that are in the SIM card! No biggie!)
Thank you so much for every help you provided guys!

Chainfire 3D on Jellybean

Has anyone had this working on stock JB, I use the nand restore that someone uploaded, then after getting my phone the way I like it ,apps etc I tried to install the chainfire 3D and it just hangs at boot, have to wipe data etc, and restore nand, tried this a few time with same result everytime
Anyone else tried it?
I am aware it says it not compatible with JB but it also says that for ICS and people say it works

Chainfire 3d will not work on jellybean. because all of the jellybean ROMS available are either leaked version of unofficial versions which are UNSTABLE versions. you will have to wait for the stable release of jellybean.
Those are NOT leaked versions.. google released JB sources for public .
Good thread. Was curious but thought it might of been the whole unstable thing.

Chainfire 3D will not work on JB as long as Chainfire will adjust the program, which, as I read in another threat will not happen soon as it is a lot of work (please correct me if I am wrong).
If you try to use Chainfire 3D on JB you will end up stuck on Samsung start screen.
Hence only way to use Chainfire 3D for now is use ICS.
Ics is only option as of now. What i m doing is dual booting ICS and JB. For games i boot into ics and play 9MM n nfshp n for rest things jb all the way

Hi,
just to confirm, I made an attempt to install Chainfire3D on stock JB and as christmast wrote, it ended with a nand restore.
Hi im a noob and didnt read enough into this. I got sgs3 gt_i9300 and on jellybean rooted and made the mstake of not backing up Before installing. As a result im hanging at startup.
Please can anyone help in a direction of resolving this?
Please thanks
you wipe your data in recovery
I though official Chainfire3D support ended with Gingerbread?
It did.

[Q] AOKP forces me into international roaming

Problem: When I flash AOKP (any version) a day or two or even as soon as a reboot my phone loose all data and cell functionality. I cant get 3G or 4G I cant even send text. So I don't know what the actual problem is. Every radio I have had work with other ROMs (Jellybeans or PACMAN).
Backround: I originally rooted (casual )back when JBVRALL4 was the issued modem from VZW I went directly to Jellybeans to give touchwiz a fighting chance. Needless to say I crave AOSP (I came from a Galaxy Nexus). I am curently running PACMAN 22.1.0 (Based off Cyanogen 10.1 AOKP MR1 build 5 and Paranoid android ## ) I have good signal and everything works as expected so I dont know what the problem is. I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 and I always wipe data and all cache.
Conclusion: I'm at my whits end here boys and girls please help.. any help.

I may have missed you saying it, but did you check the MD5? Also have you tried flashing the radio after the rom?
The same thing happened with a S3 rom, I want to say PA but I can't remember for sure, and it was caused by flashing the rom and gapps in the same session. I dont know why that would make a difference but the dev said that was the reason, so maybe try flashing the rom and giving it 10 minutes to key or settle them reboot and flan your gapps and see if that makes a difference.

Negative i did not check the MD every time I flashed it said no MD5 so i didn't think of it.. But i will try this method tomorrow..i cant see how this would effect again but till i will try.Thanks for the reply

Wow... I never thought I'd have to go into terminal to fix this.. I want to wait till AOKP gets another milestone build (should be within the next 2 weeks i think) but if I have some free time I'll try the first method (install the ROM and hen after 10 or something minutes install the Gapps) and if that doesn't help I'll definitely pop open the terminal and give this a try... Will keep everyone posted. thanks a lot for the help guys

Any custom roms out there for s4 zoom?.
Ok well I've searched and searched for a custom ROM for this device but cant find anything at all and lets just say my skill as a (n00b)DEV are well......... slow to say the least I'm still reading tons of pages lol.
Has anyone had any luck in finding one or even making one?.
I'm also wondering if maybe i could port a ROM from a s4 mini?, obviously tweaks and changes will be made to make it work I'm not expecting it to run straight away.
nobody has made a custom rom till date and even i can't work on one because my device is in brick state, NO IMEI, NO baseband, so for the time being Im out of the league.
aww that sucks big time, heres hoping you can find a fix for it.
im still reading up and learning but ill keep searching as well maybe somebody will make on someday :fingers-crossed:
btw which model do you have? is it SM C105? if it is can you help me providing a backup file? i will tell you the procedure..
Sorry for late reply, I'm afraid its a sm-c101 that my fiancé has.
Take it you've tried the flashing of stock firmware via Samsung's Kies software ( I've heard it can help sort the issue) very rare cases
If not there's flashing stock firmware via Odin as well but once again slim chance this may help.
I hope you get a solution to your problem soon and if I can help any other way just let me know:thumbup:

The problem with what you are asking is
that if someone did give you a backup of an AT&T C-105a
you would then flash it to your phone and effectively have a duplicate iMEi of the person's phone who provided the backup files.
This in itself is not that big a problem as you could then use kies to reflash to Stock and fix your factory imei partition .
The real problem lies in the fact that not just anyone is going to be comfortable supplying you, or anyone else on the interweb a dd.image backup contain their personal imei info.
This said I wish you all the luck in the world getting your phone back into operation.
