Hey dman, I'm a little nervous given the warning on the bootloader download page which indicates you can do serious damage to your phone. I'm have no problem with iphone jailbreaks but just stepped over to the Android side recently and don't wanna do anything stupid.
I'm currently on the CM7 rom, do you happen to know if i'm ok as far as flashing over to your rom without changing the bootloader?

Should be able to...if you run into an issue let me know and well work it out

I searched the entire dev thread and didn't see anyone else reporting this so I think it may be my phone but I can't install anything from the market. So when I tried to get Titanium backup or SGS Kernal flasher or even just update existing apps they all download fine but cause a reboot when they are installing. Any ideas? I tried reflashing already.

Hmmm...idk I have downloaded many apps with no issue...may have to Odin...I posted in op if anyone having major issues I recommend Odin to stock because I have had zero issues...

Thank you, and thank you. I was on Caty w/no issues and just hopped back there for now. I will Odin when I get home from work.
The name is a loooooooooooong time used online name- maiden name was peacock (hence ladybird). I never changed it after all these years. And yes, for the record that makes me one of the VERY few women on the board!

I am honored to have a lady running my rom....thank you..and if you have anymore issues please let me know and I will do my best to help you fix it..

Hi,dman
I can confirm same problem coming from cathy. I did Odin back to stock then re flash same problem. Then flashed back to Cathy and tried to in stall apps and no problem?? everything else seems to be ok just wont install anything? Banging my head on the wall with this one..

this works fine.

I have downloaded several apps from market without fail...idk what that issue could be...try entropy kernel and see if that helps

Everything went smooth for me and love the rom a lot more than the previous one I was running. Only problem I have is I get a FC when trying to change the phone or notification tones. Looked through the developer thread and nobody else has mentioned it but that is a problem i'm encountering but no other issues.

Logs provider, is this the modded one or do I need to add it?

This worked- I couldn't edit the file suggested w/out root explorer, which of course I could not download w/out the market. Sort of stuck there in a corner- but I flashed entropy kernel and now I'm fine.
As usual, the ROM rocks socks.

how to add more app at your app drawer? thi is a very noobish question but I'm here reading and sick at the same time so I didn't find anything in the q&a thread nor the dev thread. and nothing that I write makes any sense. Going home pretty soon but since I'm a lil anal about things, I can't leave things half way. like setting up my phone. Pls help. thanks

Is possible to flash a ROM for a different phone?

My friend told me that the sgs4g is pretty much like the vibrant. I tried an ics ROM and was stuck on boot loop. I was wondering if I should stop.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Yes - Stop. And read the Wiki and the Forum before trying anything. You would know the answer to this question if you had.

Somebody either didn't watch the video whe they registered, or payed no attention to it because they got offended...

Don't flash anything not meant for the SGS4g or else you will end up with a bricked phone.
Thank's aren't asked for but aappreciated

Popcorns... anyone?

Thank you for answering.

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:

Odin can be found here:

Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:

Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Stop flashing stuff
Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers

[Q] infused rom help email forces closing...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
i did this on my infuse gingerbread (rooted) and once downloaded i cannot finish the setup process because email process force close's as soon as its time to use my email. what should i do?

Be sure that you follow the 4 main steps before you flash any ROM or PORT for a good flash:
On CWM (Recovery Mode screen blue or red)
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe Cache partition
3. Advanced>Clean dalvik cache
After this steps flash your rom then:
4. Advanced/Fix Permisions.
It works for me all times.
Regards,

How will I flash then if I remove all my data including root. Everything I wipe to factory it goes back to froyo non root. Do I keep recovery for the flashing somehow? And during the whole setup like connecting to Wi-Fi it's clean works goods no lag then email force closes there has to be a reason other than me not wiping to factory.. isn't that the point of these kind of apps.. why download it if I'm gonna spend the next 4hrs trying figure out.... I'm just gonna stop here with root. The rest of it is way!!!!!!! To much lol. You guys have at it tho!!

Lol OK now once I do the infused download threw rom manager I get to the point were it's time to put in my email and it pops up email.process failed to start force close or something to that nature. Anyway after trying this one and Ics I now have a new bootanimation which was the point of the whole deal. Lol it's a suck one but hey!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

Why are you using Rom manager? I've only heard of bricks and problems from people using it...just download a Rom you want from xda, then boot into cwm and flash from cwm recovery by following instructions from the roms thread on xda
You may also just wanna try going back to stock through Odin/heimdal to fix your email problems if you don't wanna flash a Rom
Also what is the ics download your referring to? There are multiple ice roms/ports...you need to be as specific as possible on anything and everything...I always say better more than not enough
Also...just to clarify when you are in cwm and you wipe data/factory resetit only wipes your apps and system data...recovery is in the kernel which is not wiped...so if you follow the instructions of the roms op and do all the wipes then you can still flash
Good luck hope you get it all fixed
PS...bigjoe knows what he's doing as do a lot of us here...I don't think most of us,are gonna get confused and quit...as for me I love solving problems and trouble shooting so I know I won't quit

Lol...ics/ice cream sandwhich is a version of android just like ginger bread is and froyo also is-just wanted to know the name of the Rom...like cm9 or uniporn or miui etc...
But yeah download a Rom from this site and assuming you have cwm recovery boot into it (hold power plus volume up+down, as soon as it turns off and the Samsung logo pops up release the buttons) then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, then install from sdcard, locate Rom and flash it.

[Q] Need Advice Loading [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid

Hello,
This is my first post here so go easy
I am trying to install [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid on LG P999 with no success. I rooted using super one click and made a backup. I flashed 5.0.2.0 to the device and tried loading Mr. Apocalypse's build following every instruction to the letter. The install appears to work fine allowing me to choose options and I get to the reboot prompt fine. I answered the baseband question and opted for the harsh kernel.
After reboot I get the white LG logo then the display dims and there are light leaks of varying degree but nothing after that. I waited about 45 minutes the first time and have waited up to an hour with nothing. I have tried [ROM][CM9][JUL13-Build80] Domination with similar results. I get to the reaper kernel image after reboot and that's as far as it goes. I followed all the instructions to the letter and I have no idea what is wrong.
Anyone that has a suggestion, other than buying a better phone, please let me know. Is there another method I can try?
Thanks in advance.

With Genesis, install it with the stock kernel, then after the first boot load harsh separately. Some phones get a boot loop with harsh in Aroma

I will give that a go, thank you very much for the advice. I will check in to let you know how it turned out.

Also, how did you flash CWM? If the answer is anything other than "NVflash" stop what you're doing and search in the dev section for NVflash

Yes, I used the command prompt on my PC to load the NVFlash image. From what I have learned reading that is the only way it will work correctly.
It is currently loading after the initial reboot and at the LG logo with the blue streak, which is encouraging.

Ok, that is good that you used nvflash to get CWM on your phone, that definitely wasn't the problem. Like he said earlier, could've been the kernel.

Still on the LG splash with blue, I am now considering dancing around the device wearing a tinfoil hat and a chickenfoot necklace... It would be incredibly cool if there was a way to pull a logfile after install or see one while the install is happening.
How long should this normally take? Almost 1 hr now..

Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud at that. Umm, have you tried just a basic rom, like CM7? Just to compare if it works or something to see if it'll flash correctly and not your phone, and it might be a bad download for genesis. Just to be sure, it is indeed a P999?

I have a GB 2.3.3 on it now that loaded no problem. I tried that two days ago after several failed attempts. I am thinking its something here though because I couldn't get the ICS Domination ROM to work on it either. The GB ROM worked great after I flashed a new baseband to it. I had the static problem before that. It just doesn't want to cooperate with ICS. And the SD card is empty as well, I wanted to make sure there was enough room for a swap file.

I pulled the battery and it boots to the second LG logo and that's where it stays. I suppose both of the ROMs I tried could have been bad downloads, but idk., this has me flummoxed beyond belief. - and yes, it is a P999 (G2x) I bought about a year ago at a t-mobile store. I think it's time for a burial at sea for this thing!

There's always a fix. Possibly a bad download. You could try another CWM, the touch one, because I know a kernel doesn't flash on the touch one, but possibly those roms might flash on a touch recovery. Idk, I'm just babbling here.

Have you tried doing a wipe before installing a rom? I've had times where known good roms won't boot just because I didn't wipe before installing it. If your gonna give this method a go try using this to wipe it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854850

Thanks for all the advice, you guys rock!
I flashed the CWM touch and downloaded AOPK Milestone 6 4.0.4 just to see if it would load. I did the same procedure as I have with all the others and it worked. I guess it was the CWM version? IDK, Going to try to go back to Genesis tomorrow. Thanks again to each of you for all of your help and advice.

Good deal. I've been using CWM touch ever since it showed up in the forums for our phone, and I've never had a problem flashing anything

3G - 4G troubles?
I like it so far, much better than the older version I was using. I noticed this morning that I don't get any signal other than wifi. It looks like some people that did not opt for wifi were able to get signal after reinstalling with that option chosen. I did add the wifi initially, but no signal at all for data thus far. I didn't see any settings that I missed, the battery saver data stuff is unchecked and there aren't any others I could find. I am going to reinstall and hope it takes care of it.
A quick wipe and reload fixed it! :good:
