Hey All,
I had been having troubles with 4.0.3 multi-dpi, so I thought I'd flash Saurom. I flashed this, but upon reboot, I got stuck at the samsung screen. It never went past there, just sat there forever. So, I went back into cwm (holding down vol up/vol down/power), and wiped everything again, and tried to flash saurom again, but same thing happened.
I then tried to flash back to 4.0.3 multi-dpi, with same results. I can get into CWM just fine, but it seems any rom I flash hangs at the samsung boot screen.
Does anyone have any ideas? Right now I'm completely down :/
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Sebastian
Hi sounds like a bad kernel flash.i would go into cwm, do the usually wipes, go to mounts and storage. Format data. Format system. Format cache only. Pull battery. Install any of the odin install Roms through download mode, That should fix your problem. Then you can start over and flash whatever Rom you want

You should restore the latest good backup you created before you flashed whatever is giving you problems.

Just a reminder, when you go to mounts and storage, do not fformat sd storage, this will wipe everything in your memory of your phone

A backup restore should do the trick.

Worse comes to worse you can flash stock Odin. If you one clicked for ICS, remember to flash bootloader first

From my gathering, Saurom & ICS 4.0.3 DPI are incompatible. Meaning you can't flash one on top of the other without doing a full wipe data/factory reset. Having said that, I think the best move then would be to flash back to stock via ODIN, install cwm, redownload whatever ROM to your ex sd card, mount system & data then re-flash.

I "believe" all you need to flash through Odin is the GB bootloader, then you can flash GB roms, the ICS bootloader is what causes the hang up with ROM incompatibilities

Be sure the ROM has the radio load and remember a Nandroid does not flash the radio load. That has to be done manually.

I'm not very familiar with Saurom but from what I've read I think that's correct. ICS needs a clean slate to operate from is all I was saying.
Hello my friend has a Vibrant and I rooted it... It's been running AOKP and now it's on ICS CM9... But whenever I try to flash a CM10 or any JB rom it doesn't boot and it just turns on and then goes to a screen where it look like some sort of android surgery with a red triangle and then goes straight into recovery... What must I do? I wiped everything! I've tried many different JB roms and no luck

With the JB ROMs, you will need to flash them probably 3 times. So wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data in recovery, then go to mounts and storage (still in recovery) format system. Flash the ROM of your choice, most likely it will not complete flash and put you back in recovery. If it does, install zip again (no wipes) if it doesn't and tries to boot, pull battery, use button combo to get back to recovery, install zip again (no wipe), this time it might complete but to be sure install zip a third time, again no wipe, install the gapps zip, and reboot. You should be running JB!

I really want to use SafeStrap instead of BMM because with BMM, my SD card and internal storage get messed up on every reboot. However, I'm just not ok with partitioning in order to install a ROM; I want it installed over my Stock partition. Can I do that with SafeStrap? Whenever I try, it just boots to a black screen after the recovery.

yeah you can. clear you cache and dalvik in the recovery, should start up find after that.
@Redjax Have you had any luck in doing this? I tried flashing to the stock partition (after making backups of everything, thank goodness!) and got the same black screen. Is there anything extra to do if you want to flash the Stock partition?
I flashed to the newest cm11 to stock slot on SS3.65. Here's what I did with no problems.
Activate Stock Slot
Wipe: Cache, Dalvik Cache, Android_secure, System, Data (Repeat; I always wipe everything twice, probably unnecessary, but i like to be sure)
Flash CM11 Nightly
Flash PA Gapps
Flash JBX Kernal
Flash WiFi Patch
Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache again
Reboot
Everything worked fine first try. I realize what you flash will probably be different depending on which Rom you choose.

Hmm.. I wiped everything except for the Android_secure... Wonder if that's what did it? I was just trying to flash the latest/first official CM11 nightly, along with DHackers no_set_metadata GAPPS.
After I flashed the phone wouldn't boot -- just red Moto symbol then black screen. I managed to get it into APX Fastboot mode, used DROID_RAZR_Utility to flash the stock rom back on to the phone (without data wipe). Lo and behold, the phone came back to life! RE-rooted and reinstalled Safestrap 3.65, and all the slots were still there -- no harm, no foul, but I thought for a good while I bricked the phone. Whew!
Ok, Off to research what the Android_secure partition is for...
I think, BMM is better than SS, don't have any problem with my device
I've been out of the loop for awhile. Back in the days of og droid we just used recovery. SS came in later allowing you to have dual boot.
If you don't want that option can you just use a recovery like CW and not use SS or BMM?

On SS 3.65 i always wipe in my stock rom everything exept the SD card and the internal Storage and it works, i do it like that nearly a year without any problems.
Yes, I've not had a problem. I'm using Jelly Bean's ROM, and all I did was backup my Stock ROM, wipe it, and install through SafeStrap. I don't know why it wouldn't work for you...what ROM are you attempting it with?
I'm currently running safe strap 3.65. Been flashing roms for quite a while but always left the stock slot alone. I'm wondering if there were any real down sides or things to be careful about when flashing a custom rom/kernal to the stock slot. There's the obvious, that a rom wouldn't work and I would have no working roms, but i'm not worried about that as I could easily flash another. Thanks in advance.
Also wondering. I did a backup of stock but it doesnt exist now! And flashed cm10.1.3 and it won't boot.....

Does anyone know how to install CM 10.1.3 or 10.2 to stock slot? I tried it, but it won`t boot. I had a stock slot with root and safestrap enabled, then i wiped stock slot in safestrap. After that my phone didn`t do anything, it seems that safestrap has deleted itself while wiping stock slot. So i had to restore my system with RSD Lite.
I did exact same thing. I even backed up before flashing and then the back up dissappear or didn't actually back up

It works now. Installed Stock with RSD lite, rooted it, installed SS3.65 and did a wipe cache, data and factory reset. Then i installed CM 10.2, Avatar rom 4.3 over stock system. Then i installed Gapps and JBX kernel 1.5. It is running great.
Just wanted to update this since I hadn't received any responses about the actual pros and cons. I decided to jump right in and do it and see what happened. Here's what I did.
SafeStrap 3.65:
Activate stock slot
wipe: cache, dalvik cache, android secure, data, system
repeat (I always repeat this step to be sure everything is clear)
Flash CM11 12/15 Nightly
Flash PA Gapps
Flash WiFi Access Point Patch
Flash JBX 2.0 Kernal
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Reboot.
Everything works perfectly on stock slot.

I prefer to leave the stock side alone for a couple of reasons. I like to always have it there as a fall back boot option. Also, if you have to delete ROM slots and are down to the option of having none left, you need to be able to activate the stock slot so that you can delete the last slot.
Seems the biggest pro for flashing over stock is saving storage space.

Is the Backup maybe on the SD card and you searching in the internal storage, or other way round?
Just set it completely stock, rooted and deleted everything for **** and hdmi so annoying hdmi quits popping up forcing landscape mode

How did you wipe system and your safestrap still works? If i wipe system, safestrap wipes itself and the recovery stops working after the wipe, phone is bricked. Only RSD helps fixing it

Using 3.73 / 3.75 I no longer have this problem. 10 out of 10 times
Lol never tried with 3.73/75 but i dont use the XT910 anymore so i dont care anymore about this. Just waiting for a Root exploit for my new Droid Maxx.
Hi. I tried to flash newest version of GApps (full modulare which I have never use before, allways the stock) and newest version of CyanogenMod 11 Nightly. I'm also using CWM Recovery 6.0.4.6 in my GT-I9300. Someone in CyanogenMod forums told me to wipe all data/factory, cache and dalvic cache to make CM's trebuchet, before flashing a new ROM and GApps.
I tried that and result was that I'm getting the ****ing "PHONE HAS STOPPED WORKING" - problem.. Huger problem is that I need this phone tommorow in work, and it ruins my day totally if I don't get it work by tommorow.
Because of Wipe ALL data / factory reset, I do not have even any backup file in my device. What to do to fix it!?

I did format system and wiped all caches. I did everything and ****ed everything up. Now I dont have backup or anything. Flashing and wiping caches doesn't work, allways same prblem when I start my phone again.

Can you boot into recovery? Have you got a external sd card?
If yes put another Rom on ext SD (if you have a SD card adapter for computer) boot into recovery and flash again!
If not can you get into download mode? If yes flash a stock Rom with Odin..

Thank you for helping. I flashed stock 4.3 Jelly Bean with Odin by using XDA's tutorial. Now I need to root my phone again to get CyanogenMod 11 and KitKat, but It's okay. Still don't know how to get CM11's Trebuchet work correctly. Problem is that if I flash PAGapps stock package, I get the phone work correctly, but Trebuchet disappears. If I flash full package of PAGapps, Trebuchet should work, but then this error happends and I need to flash stock rom with Odin.
What to try next?

If you are flashing custom roms you do not need to root, custom roms come already rooted...I'm not sure which gapps are compatible with cm11 but have you tried Banks gapps I use them on Fusion kitkat rom (if they are compatible)..
Obviously there is some app in the full gapps that is causing your problem.As for CM11 launcher can't you use another launcher?
