Ok I am new to this phone and have done a lot of reading and have already flashed 3 roms on my phone and I set up the Flash Clockworkmod Recovery the real one and not the rom manager version. For some reason I now get a Error when trying to format system to flash another Rom and when I go to wipe dalvik cache it does not even let me go into to wipe that is there something I'm missing I have not see this problem with no one else.
Are you shouting down your phone and turning it back on holding power+volume down. Don't use rom manager to reboot to recovery it may be taking you to the fake cwm on your memory card.

Perhaps try re flashing cwm with nvflash

It's weird the only way I'm able to flash a rom is when I go into rom manager and I go to backup rom through there.
It sounds like the real recovery didn't flash. Make sure you install the apx drivers correctly and check in device manager that your pc sees the phone.

Follow this topic you might have installed an older version I believe the first few we had did that. Make sure you shut down and use (power+volume down) to get to cement it is much safer.
Also are you try the factor reset in cwm or trying to do the advanced- format system. The advanced- format system requires you to first mount the system to do so.

Guys, i hope you can help again.
im rooted, running ics by entropy, but i have this annoying issue.
Every time i go to cwm to flash something like beats audio or another modem, i cant get back to my main rom, just keeps rebooting into cwm and even if i select reboot now, just boots again into cwm.
Its annoying because every time i want to install something i have to reinstall the rom from zero.
maybe im missing an application or something.
hope you can help me out.
I too have had this happen, but only when I use adb to reboot into CWM recovery by sending an "adb reboot recovery" to get into recovery. I can make that happen every time, so when running this ICS kernel / recovery, I'm careful to only use the extended power menu or the phone buttons to get to recovery.
Once it happens, the only way to fix in this situation is to re-flash the rom.
Just curious, how are you going into recovery?

i select ''go to recovery'' in the CWM app, maybe thats the issue.

Probably related to the same bug in that particular recovery. I may flash CM9 in a little bit to see if I can reproduce that by going from the Rom Manager app. There is an option to get to recovery in the power menu. I'm almost certain that if you use that and/or the phone buttons, you won't have the same issue.
EDIT: I just flashed CM9 to test this, and I can't get the issue to happen when going to recovery from the Rom Manager app. Seems to work like it's supposed to from there. As soon as I issue an "adb reboot recovery", though, the same thing happens: the phone will only reboot to recovery from then on and has to be re-flashed to get to a rom. To be safe with this recovery, though, I'd still suggest only using the option in the power menu or the phone buttons.
YES! I HAVE THE SAME DAMN ISSUE!
Always happens. I have to Odin back to stock then reflash CM9. I don't know how it works from power button but using Rom Manager I get stuck. I "reboot system" now and it gets to Galaxy S/CyanogenMod screen and right back into recovery.
Simple question....when this happens..have you tried taking battery out and wait abt 30=40 to 60 seconds then replace batt and just restart? This happened to me and i did this 2x and bam the rom booted up....fine

When you install via Odin and if the system will not boot, go in CWM and go on data reset and reboot.
In CWM go with Home and Power buttons.
This might help

More importantly search the forums before asking.
So i got the intall from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178402
Wiped dalvik 3 times, wiped cache, formatted system and data.
Then i had to edit the updater-script to remove the first line. After i have done that the rom installed.
After rom installed i installed gapps without doing a restart.
After restart the phone is stuck on the logo show. (Pacman and 3 ghosts + samsung) The animation on the logo is goign so i gave it some time and it never boot up. Tried pulling the battery and another restart, still no go. On my second try i installed the rom without gapps thinking it might have caused the bad boot but it's suck again. Can you guys point me in the right direction? The phone doesnt give any feedback of what is going wrong.
I727, update from sky ICS(june), kernel 3.0(if i remember correctly)

Ok so i have installed newest sky ics again and the install wasnt a problem at all + everything ran fine. Then i went to update clockwork mod, downloaded the original pacman(the one with the line intact) reinstalled without gapps and still no go. I cant figure our the deal with this rob. Even tho im not a rom developer myself i have a strong programming background and i attend an IT college right now. Here's my 2 cents to the developer of PACMAN for Skyrocket.
1st thanks for all you hard work.
2nd. please make indicators during the install to see how is the progress going because right now it's like installing and then sucessfully updated. 3rd first boot should be console boot to indicate what is blockign the freakign rom. I spent my whole day trying to figure this out and noone would help + the app has absolutely no feedback for the user to trouble shoot.
Lol its not the ROM mate. Hate to tell you but its not also bootlooping on install is a common issue for some of you so my guess is you are not searching with proper terms.
Here is your bone: wipe cache and dalvik from recovery if its boot looping like that.

Switch to sk8's in the dev section or twrp never rely on ROM manager for anything on this phone. That still doesn't explain why your phone would reboot while wiping cache.

I have switched to twrp and it looks more advanced. I have tried to do a cache wipe and the twrp hang too. It seem like i cant access the cache E: patiotion. When i try to save logs from the phone i get:
Finished running boot script.
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/log
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/last_install
EataManager:; Output_version -- Unable to make
Copied Recovery log to /sdcard (Note the sc card wasnt even in the phone at the time of this)
Also when i tried to do a first dalvic wipe i got the same errors but after the first one i get the wipe complete message.
What are you trying to do right now? You probably had a bad download of pac man when you first started. Did you check md5 checksum? Now you don't have external SD card in? Its hard to help when not clear what you're trying to do.

Wrong section, and you shouldn't use anything from ROM manager like mtdew said

1. Copy Pacman rom on external sd card.
2. Use latest Twrp and boot into recovery and select 'wipe'
3. Wipe cache, dalvik, Factory reset, system & internal storage.
4. Go back to main twrp screen and select install.
5. Find rom on and External card and install.
You should have no problems. It is a great rom.

I have a p3113, which after flashing a Rom became 3110. Which still worked fine. But I tried installing FastDream 4.2.2 which was a down grade from 4.3 Pac Rom. Now I'm stuck at Samsung logo, with no back up. I also can't mount sd through recovery, and my external sdcard is not detected by my computer.
Would anyone be able to tell me what my options are for fixing this?

wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvic cache in recovery and it will boot.
That didn't work, however I did get this issue fixed by putting it in download mode and flashed stock via odin. Then realized-rooted
