Also, I dont see the problem cause it says low storage but you didn't say how it interfereres, by like not letting you download more things, maybe its a glitch, but for now leave it alone.

I'm using ICS PASSION and the kernel that cones with it. Can you link me to the data fix link?

Read here and here and then choose which is best for you.
This is an old issue with Passion and had been discussed in that thread many months ago. I am sure if you searched the thread, the answer would have *eventually* pooped up but with that many posts, it would take all day to do so.
That being said, Passion is extremely outdated (still 4.0.3) and I suggest upgrading to a different ROM (4.0.4 variant). There was vast improvements from Google with the newer version, plus Passion isn't really supported anymore.

Thank you. Just a side question, if I were to move from Passion to a 4.0.4 ROM such as ICZen, would all my info get deleted? Or does that only happen if I was to upgrade specific Passion updates if I have that ROM already?
EDIT: I just realized you linked me to the I9000 section. I have the Vibrant.

Yes and no. You can preserve you app data, browser links, SMS/MMS, Launcher Setting,...through Titanium Backup and then restore the DATA part later. I capped that so as to warn you not to restore the /system/apk (only restore the data on the Green highlighted /system/apps in TBPro).
Yes I did link you to the I9000 section bc those are what you want. All it is is a script that converts your /data/data to /datadata. AKAIK, all the newr ICS ROMs already do this, hence why I suggested you get out of the outdated ROM. ICZen does this on install already btw>
Thanks.
And to confirm, I would only have to install the ICZen ROM right? It states that the subzero kernel is included. ( I saw your name on there, so I thought I'd ask)
Yes it is included. Install instructions are similar to most every other ICS ROM out there except for the additional WIPE.
Steps
-Download ICZen and place it on your internal sd
-Reboot to Clockwork Recovery
-Perform a wipedata/factory reset
-Go to mounts and storage and format the system partition
-Flash your downloaded ICZ rom file
-From the main menu of recovery, perform a wipedata/factory reset again <--THIS IS THE SECOND WIPE I AM TALKING ABOUT
-Reboot
-On bootup, give it a few minutes to settle in, reboot and use as normal.
-Enjoy your ICZen!

There seems to be a bit of confusion on what recovery we should be using. Most threads indicate CWM 3.x
This post is often referenced as the most current recovery for our needs:

It can be seen being referenced here:

Then there is this:

I have not seen many references to CWM 4.x recovery. Is this for gingerbread roms?
Please understand I am not trying to "shake the bees nest" or anything. I just want to make sure we are doing things correctly. I have been doing some research since the above post was made and have come up with conflicting resulsts, looking for clarification. Thanks.
I sent ti a pm asking about this myself - still waiting to hear back.

when I downloaded this, it was recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.8-fascinate, so what is 4.x about it? My recovery is the yellow 3.2.0.0 - any available upgrade?
i dunno, it said "CWM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v4.0.0.1 " in the description. Mine is yellow also, works for all the roms I've tried.

So I guess we can assume that 4.x is fully backwards compatible with older roms?
I just don't understand how we could be snipped at for not using CMR 4.x when it is not even on his own recovery page (or widely referenced anywhere else).
Don't half tell us something then not back up your claims. It seems this stupid GB leak did nothing but make people crabby! (from day one)
I'm on CM7 with CWM4. I would think CWM3 is fine with TW roms if it still flashes everything and last I know it did. If CWM4 was something you should have there would probably be posts for it in the dev section.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I guess I'd have to look into it but I didn't know of any major differences such as those between CWM2 and 3. So I don't know why it would be a huge deal to use CWM3 if I figure anything out I'll post.
CWM 3.0 may be responsible (but probably isn't) for the sd cards being borked by some of those who've flashed the EC09 GB leak or the early ROMs based on it. That might be why times_infinity made his dinosaur post. That said, it's more likely that the SD card issue is strictly an EC09 issue having nothing to do with which recovery you use. I suggest going on IRC to find your answers (I think either #samsungfascinate or #teamsbrissenmod or maybe #tsm).

hello i am having a problem here. i don't know what is going on but every time i root the phone using entropy's way i loose wifi access (sorry for such noob question) i tried searching and i can't figure this out ??? do i NEED to have a custom rom for wifi to work ??

What Android software version did you root from??
You are obviously not doing it "my way" since you're flashing SiyahKernel.
You also clearly haven't read any of the instructions - if you used my prerooted system packages, they clearly state:
Note that after flashing this, you might need to wipe data depending on what ROM you were coming from. If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work.

Just asking for the verification, m8.
There is no need to get itch.
Reason: back then, there was a member kept reporting said his phone was UCKK7 and most of us if not all claimed it should be UCKH7 and thing fired up.
Now, I've seen you post UCKK7 so I just asked to verify if it is true or not.
That's all.
Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

To be honest, I really don't know, like I said I'm coming from BB and still trying to figure everything out. Here's the link that I downloaded the ROM from:

If anyone has a link to a better ROM, I'm definitely open to try them out. I would just like to know how to fix the problem of not being able to install apps from the Play Store from my web browser.
You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Don't ever use ROM manager. Ever.
Read the stuff linked in the sticky at the top of this forum. And I mean read *all links*. They'll show you how to mod your phone safely and teach you the ins and outs of modding an SGH-I777, and keep you from bricking your device. Once you've read everything (and please read carefully! reading more than once may help), if you don't fully understand anything after that feel free to ask questions.

I know it's not always the fastest option, but searching for an answer that you're not sure of really is the best way to learn. The more familiar you become with the search tool and which terms you need to find your answers, the easier it'll be for you here. Not trying to be a **** at all, just letting you know. Rom Manager had been known for a long while now as being buggy and unstable for our device. Not saying it doesn't work for other devices extremely well, but our kernels come packaged with CWM, which is different from most phones, as you can normal flash a recovery separately from the kernel.

I made the ROM Manager mistake
I didn't see the warnings about using ROM Manager until it was too late.
Now here's the weird thing that happens (big problem!). As soon as I read the warning, I uninstalled ROM Manager and flashed a new kernel and did a factory reset. This should have wiped ROM Manager from my SG2, but it didn't. When I go into CWM Recovery mode, the ROM Manager icon (the circular arrow with the hat) appears at the center of the screen. When I try to execute a command in CWM, whether Wipe data or Install from SDcard, the screen goes black except for that icon. Nothing happens. The only way to reboot is to pop the battery. The phone works fine with Gingerbread and the phone is rooted, but I want to be able to flash an ICS ROM from xda.
Somehow, some aspects of ROM Manager remain on my phone.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.

I love XDA...even with the occasional good-natured abuse!!
Many thanks...

Spending time playing with it, get along with it and gain experience, brother.
I believe everyone was once hiccup, learn from it then.
I was pulling my hair, scratching my head just to figure that out too.
Also, spend more time reading, I'm sure you will pick up some very valuable info down the road.

Thanks for the support. Yes, it is a learning process that requires patience and some diligence.
I just flashed Serendipity ICS, so I'm a happy guy!
I personally think that a bunch of people who come across custom roms for their 4.0 galaxy players ask themselves this question, "why aren't there very many roms for my device that are simply flashed through clockwork recovery?" Is it because this device is not very popular? Is it because not very many people know how to put a custom rom in a cwm package? In no way do I want to sound rude, but when I have to flash multiple things onto my device from my computer in order for the tomorto work right as well as not brick my device, it just ruins it for me. There is nothing wrong with roms that require a computer to install, but I personally think that with all those instructions that might not be too clear on what you are support to do, something is bound to go wrong.

This is not that it can't be done, but it the case of ics for the 4.0, it's a bug in the kernel that force us to flash a kernel from heimdall. If this bug was not here, the rom would be simply flashed with cwm. So the answer is it's not because dev don't want to do it like this, it's because they can't.
Couldn't they fix it?

They don't fix it because they don't know what is broken, this is not a choice. This is not that easy to find what is causing a bug and to repair it. You should be a little more thankful of what you already have because without them there would be no custom rom and no recovery. If you really want it so bad just go ahead and fix it then share it with the dev and they will include it.

The problem is that the param.lfs isn't getting updated, probably because their kernel isn't compatible with Samsung's proprietary param.ko (so the bootloader still thinks you're in recovery). If it's not, there's nothing that can be done about it. If it is, they should include that module in the ramdisk. and insmod it with init.rc, and the recovery bootloop will be gone.

You seem to know what your're talking about, maybe you could explain this to zaclimon, the last time I tried to help him he was trying to change the onenand driver so the device have the good partirion layout. It would be nice to get rid of that bootloop.

Well, that's part of it too. I think on the 4.0, the problem may be more complicated than that, due to it's storage layout, (I have the 5.0) but rest assured the devs are working on it.
Please let me know when they fix this bug what I need to do from there.

There's this but mostly because we change the partition (we completely ditch the j4fs support). Also the bootloaders expect to run BML/STL partitions so the bootmode isn't cleared. The thing that teamhackung made is that they created a partition named reservoir that would handle all the bad blocks. This partition is used to flash the boot partition which is the kernel one. This is still an undergoing experimentation for me but I'll try to compile a CM9 with this new type of flashing. An example of the partition layout is here:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...ung-3.0-ics/drivers/mtd/onenand/samsung_gsm.h
I may miss some things too but this is the things simplified.
Also NATO I do know how you feel about it and I'm trying to do my best (with han and oisis gone) to solve everything as soon as I can. (Don't forget that I have school too )

Actually most of the GB ROMs for the 4.0 are CWM flashable zips,

there are 2 or 3 more ROMs that are CWM zips but there based on the OLD CM7 port and with no deep sleep there not worth the time IMO (not the Porting DEVs fault, it was a known issue of the CM7 base).
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
The ones that aren't are because of data corruption issues.
As for ICS, well thats been covered.
Thank you guys for all you do. I really am thankfull to have a website like this one to turn to for help.

As soon as the glitch is fixed please let me know. Another question, will there ever be an official CWM release on the player? And will Tardis_Balor update the Terra Silent Kernel once the glitch is corrected?
