Something went wrong when flashing

So I rooted my phone a few months ago but there weren't many mods out yet, so I waited until just today. I saw this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157593
I followed everything until I got to the part where I had to go into recovery mode, but before I was supposed to reinstall packages to get into CWM I accidently clicked on delete all user data and delete cache date because I misunderstood. So I got into CWM after and followed it and rebooted but nothing happened and the SGS4G screen just goes on and off. I didnt know what to do so I gave this a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
I thought it would bring my phone back to stock and rooted because I couldnt recover or restore anything. It just put me in a more confused situation. When I reboot in recovery or just turn the power button on, the SGS4G screen goes on and off still.
So all I can do is this. Go to recovery. reboot,reinstall,delete user data or cache data. It says "signature verification failed" then "installation aborted" when I reinstall packages. And like I said, when I reboot the system all it does is the SGS4G screen problem.
Is there a way to start me fresh to a stock and rooted point? I dont think I have any files or anything on my phone anymore(if that is possible). I wanted to try this over again, but correctly obviously
Thanks for any help. I really need my phone soon

Were you in download mode when you used Odin? It should have worked. Make sure that it shows a yellow symbol with the android alien holding a shovel.

Thanks for the reply! And yeah i was in download mode. Odin said it went through and it lead my phone into recovery phone. After that I rebooted but I'm still experiencing the SGS4G screen going on and off still. Nothing else loads.

How did you set up Odin? You got the correct file loaded into the PDA box?

signature verificaton failed means u dont have a modified recovery record
u can get that out of the cwm final thread and push it to system/bin folder overwrite the one dont replace it that will solve that issue for u

I did exactly what the thread for Odin said. I already had the 64bit drivers installed. I downloaded the link that was provided for the ROM and then Odin. The rom took a while to download but it finally did. After that I held both volume buttons and then plugged in the usb and then it went into download mode. After that I opened odin and then clicked on PDA. The only thing that I could click on was the non-extracted rom that I downloaded aforementioned above.Gave it time to download and it said successful. Then I rebooted once it sent me to recovery mode. It also states to try and do it without sim and sd card in the phone which i just tried. It went through as well, but still has the SGS4G going on and off

I would try that but idk how i would be able to push it into the system/bin folder when all my phone is letting me do is go into recovery mode

Did u flash ext4 yet?

A suggestion for you.
If you can get into Down load mode which it sounds like you can, I would use ODIN to flash KC1 with its pit, PDA, Phone and CSC files and let it fully load up. Then ODIN Whitehawk's deoxed KD1 + root and try to flash your other ROM again.
It is very hard to hard brick these phones. Always take care to make sure the mount points in recovery are set to unmount, mount, mount and finally unmount when instructed to do so.
If your getting stuck with the ext4 section which causes this boot loop alot, what I have done is to disable voodoo lagfix, reboot into the newly flashed ROM then go back into recovery and enable voodoo. Has always worked for me.
This is my first post so I apologize if I don't make any sense lol. I develop android apps for a medical software company and I'm wanting to start creating ROMs to help out this great community.
I forgot to mention: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554 - [REF]{BIBLE} Galaxy S 4G (7/24/11) <5:00pm cst> is your best friend

icbinb is a great rom. you will definitely have to odin, as bytesfree says. you should use kc1 by raver. after you odin kc1, boot up normally and let the rom settle in for 10 minutes. then get a root manager, such as super manager or root explorer. download the 2 files from krylons final cwm thread. move both to the proper location using the root manager. make sure the recovery file is named properly. if it has the extra .bin extension in the filename, remove it. then shut down the phone, reboot into recovery, go to reinstall packages and the orange cwm will load. once that loads up, factory reset, wipe cache, go to mounts and check the mounts (u,m,m,u), go to install from sd card, flash the ext4 converter immediately followed by icbinb. all of these zip files should be on the root of your sd. let me know how it goes.
if you get it to flash, remember to leave the phone sitting for 10-15 minutes in order for it to settle in.
also, bytefree, welcome to xda. glad to have you contributing.

As Jager said, ICBINB and others such as Black Ice are great ROMS with lots of tweaks and features. The guys that create these ROMs are awesome in their intellect and programming abilities. Mrchovee, once you get the hang of the steps required to flash a ROM it becomes second nature, just keep at it and don't let a gimped flash bring ya down man. As I said before, these little phones are hard to brick.

[Q] Lg revolution Revotoolkit/clockworkmod issues please help!

I am trying to install Gingervolt on my Lg Revolution and i installed clockworkmod and revotoolkit on my phone but clockworkmod doesnt say my phone? and when i try to install recovery on revotoolkit it says it installs but when i reboot my phone the only thing i ever get is after the Verizon splash screen and after that it just goes to a black screen and i have to take my battery out. i cant get it into recovery mode even when i do it manually. please if anyone knows anything please let me know i've been stuck for about a week.

any luck on this? seems to be the same thing i'm encountering

I'm having a similar issue. I used the LGrevolution all in one package to root my phone. This root package is supposed to also install CWM.
The root package says that it complete successfully and restarts my phone, however only the superuser app is available and no CWM. When I DL CWM on my own it doesn't list my phone when I go to install flash recovery.
I have no clue where to go from here. please advise.

I know I would have a better chance of getting an answer to this if I had access to the forums for my phone. Instead they throw all of us non-regular users into the "we never look here" channel until we make 10 posts. lol

Flashing GingerVolt
I am currently rooted on the LG Revolution, I was wanting to try GingerVolt V1.3 on my phone i understand that you have to download MT's the only question that i have is how do i save the .zip file to my external SD card?
I can get to CWM recovery just fine and back up my current ROM and wipe all current data (Have done it once) but when i go to update from SD there are no files found. What am i doing wrong?
Thank You in advance for any help

idk if this will help but?
you are all correct out phone is not listed this not being fully open for the lg revo but if i remember correctly I just selected the first device on the list it is kinda has a Ect. ect. ect after so that ppl with all other phones can use it too the first one is like the universal if yours isnt on the list? it worked for me now I cant remember what I did and i am sort of a noob at the whole rooting thing but after i did this reboot in to recovery didnt show on the pop up window when i held down the power button so i had to restart i think a few times maybe power off all the way or something you wont hurt it so i say try till it works if you are rooted you wont screw anything up? i havent in a yr of having the phone and i dont really know what im doing still half the time?

LG Revo stuck on CWM-based Recover v5.0.2.7
I was trying to install Gingervolt 2.0 and thought I followed all steps to complete the task but now it's stuck on the CWM menu and I cannot do anything else. I tried formatting and starting over but now it's just stuck on the CWM main menu. Help please! n00b will be a n00b! Won't let me mount external sd card in order to copy Gingervolt 2.0.zip to phone to re-install. I'm pretty sure this is bricking? I have no idea. Thought I read enough to root but missed a step in the process.
UPDATE: Was able to install Gingervolt 2.0 by MTMichaelson, installs files, Writes symlinks and permissions, Replaces kernel, Formats cache and dalvik, unmounts, done.
After that I am stuck on what to do. Please help! Any would be much appreciated!

Stuck in Fastboot Mode - Please Help!!!

Hi everyone. I have been looking everywhere i can and i cannot find any existing threads explaining how to fix this.
First off I am a little bit of a noob when it comes to rooting. I rooted my phone using a one-click method yesterday and was flashing roms fine. I couldnt find anything i liked last night so i restored the backup i made. This morning i was going to flash CM9. My phone was fine this morning. I turned off my phone and went into fastboot mode. When i went to recovery it came right back into fastboot mode saying "no boot or recovery image". No matter how i turn the phone on it goes to fastboot mode. Also, i can't seem to get my computer to recognize my phone no matter what i try. I have pulled the battery and left it out for 30 minutes and still nothing.
What am i missing.
Thank you in advance for any help.

I had a similar situation, don't get stressed, basically u'll have to force the phone into recovery, delete all the files in regards to android on ur pc, restart it, same for the phone, I don't exactly remember where it is but I think is around here on the forums at XDA that explain how to force the Nexus to be recognized by Windows again, or ;look it up on Google, lessons learned!!!
Also check the posts about Nexus being stuck on Boot and similar.

Since your in fast boot try to go to recovery. From recovery try to delete data and cache. Then try to reflash your rom. Chances are if it will not work. Maybe the file you downloaded is corrupted and u need to download it again.
PS don't forget to do a nand backup before flashing any rom or update.

[Q] Phone neither boots nor gets recognized as usb device

So, I know I made lots of mistake and all of it is my fault, but now I need a solution for the huge amount of problems I am facing.
So, I had a stock Froyo on my phone and I tried following the steps of this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737
The first mistake I did, was I flashed XXKPQ directly by mistake instead of XXKPE, which I noticed while I was in the middle of doing it.
The phone was working properly on the GB rom. After that I rooted it, following the guide using a cf root of XXKPQ.
Now, I didn't know if there was prerequisite for it or not, but I flashed the custom rom of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300693
The first problem I saw was that while installing it from the sdcard, for a long time, the screen was blank. I left it thinking that it was part of it, but since it persisted, I rebooted it. The phone opened properly and after that I installed the gapps later through recovery mode.
The first major problem I saw was that the phone after screen locking, it used to shut down automatically. After looking through solutions, where none were working, I tried flashing to stock rom via odin (stock rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16107097)
After that though, whenever I open the phone, it just stucks at the samsung logo screen and doesn't go further.
Also, when in download mode, I tried it attaching to Odin but "USB device not recognized" comes all the time.
I don't know what to do.. I know I must have made loads of huge mistakes and I should have done everything, being properly informed, but now I really need a solution..

It's good ur phone is alive after going these many mistakes.
Flash KPE with .pit file then flash DDLF2 firmware. It's the best firmware till date.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, but actually after writing that post only, after some time, it started recognizing my device, so I was able to do it..
Though, actually I wanted to install CM10.1, but doing the XXKPE + XXKPQ thing properly and then rooting it again, I tried doing CM10.1. But for some reason after just installing the alpha2 file from zip and the gapps file for it, it always goes back to CWM recovery mode.. It also sometimes used to display that the device has no root access, so while rebooting it asked if I wanted to root it.. I always selected yes, but after booting it always comes back to the recovery screen.
Any idea, what to do to solve this?

Hi
Can you get into download?
Some times you have to keep trying multiple times , seen it in other threads , just keep trying to get into recovery or download ....something gets mess up and to get into recovery or download is a matter of trying several times

yea i can get into download mode okay. But i cant access recovery mode which is how i need to get my backup. I have now found the guide to get back to stock basically. but i'd rather figure out why it isn't booting.
I flashed the firmware through the ap button and dont know if thats wrong or right. i've forgotten lol
---edit --- i have managed to install the full android nugat selection. many thanks please close this if needed.
