Transfer a ROM and COMPATIBLE kernel to your phone or sdcard. Do a FULL wipe (factory reset, cache and dcache). Install the ROM and kernel.
If that still doesn't work, use an ODIN image and flash via Odin. That'll solve the problem for sure.

Are you sure that kernel is for the sgh t999??

pretty sure. do u have any suggestion or mayb a link on where to get a basic jb kernel and rom that is know to work. just so sick of the aokp the camera sux

There might be a box that you need to uncheck "md5"

Here. DL the jb stock kernel here. There is a cwm package zip so you don't have to flash the whole ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892297

Installation 7 usually means it was a bad download. Have you tried just restoring a backup or flashing Odin stock.

ok, here is a simple way that i live by. this is how i do it. when using non touch wiz roms like aokp, my personal favorite or cm10.
first make sure you are on a touch recovery. then start by backing up your current rom first. next do factory reset 3 times,wipe system 3 times and the same for cache and dalvik cache. if you if you have a certain radio you want to flash do that first. then still in recovery flash rom then google apps. wipe dalvik cache and reboot. don't touch anything for 10min. now reboot and let sit for 1min and set up phone... sounds like a lot but you get a clean install... by the way, i find it better to just use the kernel that comes with the rom. you can use the same method for touch wiz minus installing google apps..

this is what i started out with. do read the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754
i know he says that for aosp rom you don't have to wait the 5-10 mins, but i do it anyway just to be sure. then i reboot and wait an additional 5-10 mins.
oh and i'm on cm10 nightly, 12/1/2012 to be exact. it's super stable and smooth, no worries. just make sure you flash the right file (our phone is hercules) and gapps (20121011).

It's no use being a **** when the answer has already been provided. Besides, before I made that thread googling his question resulted in no clear answer. It's the reason I made it. To not only help people in our forum but anyone else googling the question.

follow every thing edshawn said just to be safe. You can always flash a diff. radio at a later time. Also dont flash a nightly if you dont want to encounter any bugs. Im currently on last sidekick's liquid smooth and its the fastest cm10 rom ive used, but thats just me everybodys phone reacts differently. Also I would recommend twrp recovery over CWM, but you can do that later as well.

Thanks!

Always make sure you read the first few posts for the devs directions

[Q] Doing something wrong trying to flash JB

I've installed ROMs before so I'm not a complete noob, but I'm clearly doing something wrong and would like some help.
I've tried installing 3 different JB ROMs (Kobridge tweaked FL04, Jellyverse0.3, JB Black Bean) and everytime I boot up into the Sprint animation and it hangs every single time at the big 4G. I'm coming from BluKuban which I return to every time after flashing EL29 direct boot through pc Odin.
This is what I've been doing:
Installed EL29 direct boot or EL26 stock
cleared cache, davlik and run Format_All_X2
Installed JB modem
installed ROM
run Format All X2 again
A couple of files might be different depending on the ROM instructions, but that's what I've been doing.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Don't flash format all zip after flashing rom zip.
You are wiping system right after flashing rom so there is no system and thus you don't boot.

Thanks for the suggestion, but format_all_x2.zip just wipes data, cache and dalvik, doesn't it? I use it all the time when reflashing Ruj's BluKuban.

Its not a suggestion. Its your FIX. It wipes system. I hope you are not confusing format all x2 zip with modified_format all zip. The modified zip wipes only the caches.
As such there is NO need to wipe after flashing the ROM..

Are you following the directions on the OP of each ROM?
If not... do it, that is how you fix your problem.

Yes I am, unless I'm misunderstanding something. That list is what seemed to be in common to all three.
I'll try to do it again tomorrow when I have a few hours.

[Q] Nothing but stock rom works for me anymore.(Description in thread/message)

So I was on CM10 and decided to update to the new CM10.1. My smart self decided to let the updater do it's thing and not wipe anything. I got to 10.1 without any visible problems. Then decided to wipe everything as to avoid possible future problems. After wiping, all my gapps just broke and I had to reflash them. Thats when the rest of the problems started. The gapps were still broken so I decided to wipe again and reflash both the rom and gapps. At this point I dont remember exactly but either CWM was freezing at every point or i was stuck in boot animation.
Fast forward a few days later I had to ODIN flash stock rom and trying to flash anything else just keeps me stuck in boot animation.
(Note: any CM backups keep me stuck in boot animation too)
So any help is appreciated ive tried just about everything. I also get a lot of cache errors that Im not sure of in CWM.
Sorry about the long post im fairly new to the site so i didnt know how much detail to include.

You should try TWRP and see if it works.

Ill try it and reply with results tomorrow

What cwmr version are you on? If you still using the 5.x.x.x that's why(have to use the darkside wipe script). Update your recovery through ROM mananger to the latest 6.0.2.9 or to twrp through goo manager.

[scripts][Tools] Infamous.Super.Wipe and Infamous.Cache.Wipe for Jelly Bean 4.1.2 TW

Ok guys, these are modded versions of TDJ's tools to add the preload partition. This should allow you to wipe cache and dalvik without jacking up the symlinks. Also for you guys having issues installing a ROM, the superwipe should fix that. First flash the ROM and reboot (important), then if you are having issues flash the super wipe and then the ROM again. Reboot and you should be good.
Thanks again TDJ!!! You rock bro.

thx for this, i was annoyed by the preload problem.

Is this for CWM recovery or TWRP as well?

Will work for both.

Thanks Jamison this will solve alot of headaches!

So whenever we want to wipe cache/dalvik use zip file instead of built in twrp??

If on a TMo based 4.1.2 ROM, yes.

Whats the difference between the two downloads?

One is cache/dalvik, superwipe is data/factory reset.

Well before using the scripts ROM would not boot but after super wipe no problems, TWRP 2.5.0.0 :thumbup:

Sent from my dark hole called an office.

I used these scripts installing a ROM and I am having very serious issues. I was using Clockwork and when I rebooted I got stuck in a boot loop. I booted back into recovery but I was not getting fully back into recovery. I tried several times. I finally ODINed back to stock but I can't get the ****ing phone to boot up. It gets toa popup that says ""unfortunatley google partner setup has stopped" and then if I clear that "Google account manager has stopped", "google calender storage has stopped""unfortuantely the process com. android.phone has stopped". ****. I have tried ODIN to 3.5 stock and 4.0.3 both having similar issues.
Anyone have any idea, may have absolutley nothing to do with these scripts but any ideas would be very much appreciated.

What are you running and what are you trying to flash? Wouldn't be the scripts as they only wipe, format, align the partitions.

I was running CWM 6.0.2.9 touch and trying to flash the StockWalk ROM. I don't know if you have seen something like this before but it seems like I am totally unable to install any GAPPS even when flashing stock ROM in ODIN. I had flashed the same ROM before attempting to use the scripts, the reason was that I was unable to add my google account (may be a defect in the ROM but others are saying they have not had issue).
*when I say install GAPPS I am just refering to the ones that install on TW ROMS, I am not flashing a GAPPS file of any kind

OK so I thought I knew enough to not feel like a noob, but here I am with three questions.
First question is what is a "preload problem"?
Second question is this will only work on 4.1.2, and not 4.2.2 (CM 10.1)?
And the third question is will using the original DS wipes mess something up?

T mobiles 4.1.2 loads a preboot partition. Wiping cache with anything but these scripts also wipes these partitions. This script is modified to not do that. No preboot partition = boot loop.
Thus, if you're on anything BUT Tmobiles 4.1.2 you don't need this script and there's no advantage to using it.
