I have an AT&T i717 running ics stock rom. I installed cwm 5.0. something and was intending on installing the CM10 JellyBean rom from paranoid. It would not install from sd card. tried another rom from diff developer, same thing. I read that I needed an updated cwm so I tried to flash another, wouldnt work with the version of ODIN i had so i upgraded to v3.07, was able to flash another and then when I went to recovery it stayed in a black screen, reflashed the older version of cwm and now when I go to recovery it will show the main screen, but if I try to install or even reboot it takes the menu away and shows the symbol in the center. Am I just completely stupid? Have I missed something?

Yes...That is the first step I believe.
UPDATE: I have CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 working properly but I am getting an Error Status 7 (yes I have searched but everything I found was old and didn't help) I am trying to run cm-10.1-20120113-NIGHTLY-i717 build as well as pa_quincyatt-2.56-20121219-013738 build. both show same error. Any ideas?

Did it work?
Figured it out. Cleared both cache and delvik Cache and did a factory reset. worked like a charm. thanks for the help and I hope this helps others as well.
Just for future reference, also wiping system along with wiping cache/dalvik and factory reset is good practice. Sometimes not wiping system can cause some issues.

Did you factory reset your phone after flashing? That seems like what your issue is...

Good morning guys. I'm having trouble with my Samsung galaxy SGH-I777. Every time I open an app that uses he camera (ie camera, barcode scanner, flashlight, camera) he flash goes off then it just reboots he phone. I've already done a factory restore. I even went into recovery mode and wipe cache and did a restore from there. I've also just downloaded the new ICS update and it still didn't fix the problem. Please help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
when you say factory restore does that mean you completely wiped the phone and flashed back to stock rom. If not, that's what I would do to determine if we're looking at a hardware or software issue.
No I didn't flash it back to stock. How would I even do that?

I would flash back to stock. If it still does it, bring it in to at&t service center and show them. They can give you a replacement. Or you can call them. Just make sure your on non rooted stock firmware.
a full wipe and reflash is required before posting any problems. because99 % of the time it's user error. Did you fully wipe system, cache, data, and run the kernel cleaning scriptbefore posting this issue?

IF this is happening across roms, and assuming correct firmware, with a clean install (factory reset, no misc apps installed) then I'd say you have a hardware problem. If you've flashed incorrect firmware then a reset won't help you until you flash back to the correct firmware. Of course all of this moot if its physical damage caused by dropping the phone or maybe water damage. If you're completely stock and haven't subjected the phone to any physical abuse, then return the phone for a new one.

Run fix permissions in recovery (last resort).
Alright. So i decided to get jellybean resurrection on my tel.
Everything went good etc but when i try to start up it starts up does everything.
Then you get the ressurection remix logo and it stays there..
When i used search i read flash it back with odin? etc
I read it but still i have no clue on what to do.
Yes you have to use Odin to flash a stock firmware. You can get stock firmware for your phone (providing it is the i9100) from sammobile.com.

Trying to find the stock rom now.
Use this guide. It explains how to use Odin.

I'm stupid, I forgot to add the link!
By the way, to set up Odin, download Kies for the drivers, but kill off Kies processes in the Task Manager and make sure you run Odin with Administrator Rights.

Wipe data/cache in recovery.
Wipe dalvik cache.
Then flash the Resurrection Remix zip again.
(RR's previous build was ICS, moving to JB, you need to wipe cache and data).
If you need your data and other settings etc you need to reflash ICS RR, backup, then flash JB RR.

Either, or. This person is really struggling to understand the basics. Not sure if they should have a custom ROM in my opinion.

Are you following the remix install instructions to the letter,mainly choosing custom install.I had your problem when I chose default install...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Hi guys,
Last week, I was installing some custom ROMs on my brothers OT-955.
Everything worked fine, I got CWM on there and installed a ROM called PAC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088694).
It worked pretty well, but the phone froze a couple of times a day so I decided to try some others yesterday.
When I installed a CM-based ROM, I got a 'status 7' error in CWM and after I rebooted the phone was stuck in a boot loop.
After a while, it showed up when I ran `fastboot devices` and I was able to get it into recovery and install a different ROM.
When that ROM had some trouble I ran into the same 'status 7' error with another one.
I miss-clicked and rebooted instead of installing a working ROM.
Once again, I was able to reboot to recovery using fastboot and everything worked out.
Fast forward 30 minutes, the last ROM had some trouble too and I decided to move back to stock.
CWM reported that stock was installed successfully so I rebooted.
Since then, the phone won't move past the boot screen.
Fastboot doesn't recognize it, `adb` used to recognize it as offline until I replugged it.
I already:
Reinstalled the device driver
Cycled the power (empty, full)
Tried a different host machine
I have no idea what to try next.
Is there someone here with general 'stuck on bootscreen' experience or in-depth OT-995 experience?
Kind Regards,
Tim
Have you wiped cache and dalvik cache before installing a ROM ? You should also format the /system partition for a clean install. Before installing a ROM.

Yes, I wiped the data and cache before installing new ROMs.
I did not format the /system partition, though.
Try wiping cache, dalvik cache and format /system then install the ROM. Hope this works

Oh so the only way to enter CWM is through adb ? Not using any key combinations ? Like volume up or down ?

It's not my own phone so I don't know for sure, but it isn't volume down + power on.
I'm also pretty sure that something is wrong beyond that.
If I had fastboot access I would just directly boot the image (although I did flash it).
EDIT: oh wow, volume up did it.
How stupid of me to not try it.
Okay so you're in recovery ?

I have this same problem with my alcatel ot 995, but my hard reset doesnt do anything. how could i replace this android with new one?
Ok, so I've rooted 2 phones so far with no problem. But when I did it to my friend, the phone won't lauch the rom any more (tried with slimbean).
I used this method before I installed slimbean: http://scientimystic.wordpress.com/...i9100-having-android-4-1-2-official-firmware/
After installing it, it wouldn't load. So I reinstalled my backup that I did after I rooted, and nothing, the phone is just stuck on the galaxy s2 screen and a yellow exclamation triangle below.
I can boot into cwm or download mode, but I can't transfer files on my phone I think.
Please help, if it was my phone I wouldn't be so desperate but I really don't want to screw up my friends phone.
If you can boot into cwm and download mode it aint bricked.
All it is....is a borked OS......I'm guessing that if you were on JB before, that when you backed up, you didn't include the preload partition. If your chosen custom rom zip is still on your phone, boot into cwm and flash it again. Thiss time though, before you reboot the phone post flash, wipe cache, dalvic and data.....then reboot.

Hey, ok then well I thought bricked meant you can't load the rom.
My backup actually worked now so all is ok, but I can't install any custom rom - every one of them just loops indefinitely at the loading once I flash it, and after that it won't do anything until i revert my backup.
