I have a Samsung Galaxy S that has been updated to Gingerbread via Kies.
I decided i would try my hand at installing the Cyanogen mod as listed here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
I followed the exact instructions and the Heimdall Suite to install speedmod + clockwork kernel in the link they provided. The phone now just sits on the first boot screen "Galaxy S GT-I9000" and doesn't move. What am i missing here?
How do i place the zip files on the root of the SD card?
Or at the very least how do i just get the phone to work again? Where did i go wrong?
Edit, if i take the battery out and put it back in i can get the phone to start in recovery mode with clockwork, but it still won't boot. it just freezes
If you plug your phone into your PC, is it seen as a storage device? If so, copy the ROM.zip you are trying to flash to your SD and then select Flash zip from SD option in Recovery.
If your PC doesn't see the phone, use an SD card reader or another device to copy the zip to the card. Depending on the ROM you might need to have the gapps zip on there too so that you can flash that at the same time as the ROM.
Edit: From the wiki:
Method via Recovery
1.Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
2.Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
3.Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
4.Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
5.Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
6.Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
7.Select Install zip from sdcard.
8.Select Choose zip from sdcard.
9.Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
10.Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Samsung Galaxy S should now boot into CyanogenMod.
Turns out the wiki link to clockworkmod was out of date. Which was why the phone wasn't booting. reflashed it with the latest kernal for clockworkmod and now everything runs fine!
Hey i was wondering how you flash a theme with CWM posts say download the file and then flash via CWM but which one do i choose update from zip or the other one ?.
Install Zip from sd card> Choose from sd card.
thanks mate just read pm to haha.
rooted my phone sgn2 and installed twrp downloaded jelly thunder blackout to my sd card fowllowed steps,dalvc wipe,cache wipe ,wipe system and then i flash jtbo rom and it failed. i got a bad download and im not shure what to do.any help would be appriciated . and i have every thing backed up.
If you made a Nandroid before flashing just restore it. If not and you have an external sd card shut down the phone and remove the sd card and use a computer to dl a rom and put it on the card. Put the card back in the phone and boot directly into recovery and flash rhw rom. If you dont have a ext sdcard then there is probably a way to adb push a rom to the internal sdcard with a computer but you'll have to google that one, , I'm a little rusty on adb. Another option is trying to reboot to bootloader and flash a stock rom with odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ter - [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Sasktel]Link for odin instructions and roms.

sometimes you just need to reboot back into recovery. Just last night after wiping with TWRP I got "Failed" message when trying to flash the best international stock ROM. I simply reboot the phone back into recovery and then it flashed fine.
I need to root my note 3 but i have no access to the phone. I'm locked out and i don't want to lose my data. In order for me to use AROMA FM i need to root the phone and add a custom recovery. But how can i do that if i cant get in it?
I own the phone and i don't want to lose the data. Please help

#1: Remove the back of the phone and remove the microsd card (or buy a cheap one)
plug the microsd card into your computer then download a basic twrp flashable
rom and copy it onto the microsd card and put it back into the phone.
.
Here is the direct download link for the basic rom:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712472801
#2: You need to ODIN flash CF-autoroot and TWRP recovery.
None of the above will wipe/delete/erase or destroy your files
or data. Here is the direct download link for ODIN: (just in case you need it)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/odin1.85.rar
#3: Unrar odin to an empty folder and unzip the contents of cf-autoroot
and twrp recovery zip files into the same empty folder as odin is in then
flash cf-autoroot first, then flash twrp recovery.
#4: Once your phone is rooted and has twrp custom recovery, you are
ready to flash the zip file which you copied to your microsd card.
Flashing a basic twrp/cwm flashable zip file rom will not destroy,
delete, erase or wipe your files and data in the phone.
#5: Be sure NOT do perform a factory reset before or after flashing
the rom, twrp or cf-autoroot.
#6: For best results, flash cf-autooot first then flash twrp recovery.
Here are the links for cf-autoroot and twrp recovery:
CF-Autoroot:

TWRP recovery:

Good luck!
Thank you so much for answering. Because i have the same issue. But I'm stuck on 3. It sounds like i have to do them on the computer. If so wouldn't that require that i have USB debugging on and adb?
I don't have that option clicked on the phone and I can't click it due to the fact I can't unlock the phone either.
Thanks for your help. And thank you for any future clarification

You don't need to have usb debugging since all you need the computer for
is to copy a twrp flashable zip file rom onto a microsd card which in turn
would be the source of your zipfile rom and then you can use twrp recovery
to flash the zipfile rom.
That way twrp will have a zipfile rom to work with since twrp will recognize
the microsd card as the source for the zipfile rom which you need to flash.
Remember that the microsd card needs to be plugged into the computer
temporarily just so you can copy a zipfile rom file onto it.
Then once that's done the microsd card needs to be plugged back into the phone.
No ADB no USB pushing of files required.
Look at it this way, if your phone was working properly right now and you wanted
to flash a custom rom you would have a choice to flash it from internel memory or
the microsd card in your phone. If the rom is on the microsd card then twrp can flash
the rom from it instead of using the internal memory of the phone.
Good luck!
OK so let's make sure I understand 100%. I only need the computer to download and move the files. I don't need the computer for the process of rooting and flashing.
Odin.rar will be a first. I flash that via the so card and then flash the recovery. After that i will flash twrp/cwm flashable zip? Once this process is complete I can use the aroma file to remove the password.key file. Does this sound right. Again thank you very much. This is great help

I don't plug the phone in the computer. I take the card out and plug it into a usb Micro sd card reader. I then just put the card back in the phone.
