I tried installing 2.3.6 XXKPQ.
I loaded OPS and then one package. But as I load the one package file it says "MDS Checksum Fail".
Please Help!!!

I faced the same problem when i tried that ROM....
though you shouldn't flash that ROM, you can do that by clicking on checksum fail...
the rom did work for me...

Okay. I did what you said. It worked like a charm!! Thank you.
Now I wanted to flash RAZODROID.
I did every thing as it said.
But now I'm stuck on the boot animation screen since ages!!
When I go to recovery mod, a sign of a hat sort of a thing displays; nothing else.
What do I do now?

Go to recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot hope that works

i think you didn't install CWM Recovery.
Download and flash CWM Recovery using ODIN.
Reflash RazoDroid and wipe Date/Cache.

Hay guys. Please help me. Some days ago i flashed my phone with 4.0.4 by Kies and everything was ok but after some days using ICS i was totally disappointed from it and decide to back my perfectly working 2.3.6 (Ausrian rom) with which i was before. But now after flashing it with Odin my phone stays on the first screen (Choose lang.) and than some messages start to shows up saying some google services can't start and after some seconds the phone restarts and all repeats again. PLEASE HELP if it's possible! Thanks in advance!!

Or you can flash cwm.
Then u can recovery from the backup.
For my experience, I encouter the same things as u (downgrade to gb, can't bpot).
What I do is listed below:
1. power off phone.
2. power on phone and press home+volume up to enter one mode (I don't how to name it. Also, the mode is like cwm, but only few functon)
3. select factory reset. select cache……
4. then u can reboot to a clean gb systen
5. flash cwm via odin and recovery it to the backup I made before flash ics.

[FIX] Flashing Stock Rom/Custom ROM over Angeeks ROM

I'm facing a weird problem. I can't flash stock rom via Odin. The phone is always stuck on the Samsung screen. Tried xxlq7/xxlq9. I'm on angeeks rom. Wanted to try the blueberry sensation rom.
So for that I tried flashing xxlq9 again as recommended and faced this issue.
EDIT [FIX]
As suggested by Kartik pat i was able to successfully flash stock rom over angeeks rom
I followed the following steps:
1. Take tb for all apps [angeeks rom]
2. Restore any gingerbread backup you might have from CWM. Boot your device.
3. Flash xxlq9 via Odinv3. Boot device
4. Flash cwm4. Boot device.
5. Flash ardatdat kernel v4.0 [ensures the erase bug issue is resolved]
6. Boot System
7. Reboot into recovery. Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache.
8. Boot system and tada
If you want to flash bb rom over this then:
1. Flash the bb rom v1. Reboot.
2. Flash the bug fix zip. Reboot.
3. Flash sensation mod
P.s. this method worked for me using the gb backup and cwmv4.
Hope this helps.
EDIT 2:
As posted by vikesh....
Hey Buddies,
I did few R&D over Angeek ROM. As we are facing problem after Flashing NORDIC ROM over this One.
Here is the procedure:
If you Have any Back of ICS / GB then only apply these changes. Coz I have already did this.
Caution: Please take your Backup before then Try to Do below mentioned steps.
1) Requirements:
1.1) Must b having Ardatdat's eMMC erased Kernel i.e. V4.0 & higher.
1.2) ODIN V 3.07
1.3) Latest Kies Installed (for USB drivers)
1.4) Latest XXQL9 NORDIC ROM
1.5) CMW 6.0.1.1 for CMW flashing & CMW 6.0.1.1.tar for ODIN.
1.6) A PC..(of course):silly:
2) Flashing:
As per Suggestion by chandanbs, NORDIC ROM is almost come with Full in System Rom Partition.
So, here is few suggestion which was already suggested by our Great Mj.vikram buddy over this Thread & see Post no #8 there.
Hope, your ROM Partition is 619/620MB.
After Flashing above procedure, If you have flashed Ardatdat's Kernel first & have installed any ROM Specially ANGEEK ROM(coz having problem in that rom particularly as per users) Then Follow the Process:
2.1) Go to CMW Recovery MOD & Install Latest CMW 6.0.1.1
2.2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
2.3) Go to CMW recovery again & Just Restore you previous backup of any ROM.
2.4) Open ODIN 3.07(Right Click over Exe & select "Run As Administrator") & Follow the steps for flashing Stock ROM using this tutorial
2.5) After Booting just Flash CMW V6 using ODIN 3.07.
2.6) Don't Wipe Data / Factory Reset or Wipe cache / dalvik Cache. Just let it boot.
Now you have Successfully Flashed Nordic ROM over Angeek / Any other ROM.

yes buddy you are correct, you need to wipe all 3 ie data, cache & Dalvic cache..
But i feel its not mandatory to flash XXLQ9 because i use to flash on my Leaked ICS and it was working fine when i used it.....

i followed all the steps mentioned above...the phone booted to the home screen of xxlq9...flashed bb rom successfully as per cwm...but the phone is stuck on the samsung screen that comes after galaxy r appears

It gets stuck for like 10-15 secs but later it flashes ROM properly,
@mj whats wrong to do it with V1.85?
@pulley I also faced same problem yesterday, but I think that time i did not mount/unmout system so I reflashed BB again by pressing two times mount>unmount (final would be unmount/system), so just press two times, still not booting then again wipe all 3 (cache,dalvik and data)

I think there is few points we should consider while flashing BB or MAZEL2 rom if u are on ANGEEK ROM.
If anybody who sucessfully flashed Stock rom & then BB or Mazel 2 after Angeek, must come in front and give us the solution.
@pulley: buddy, as u r the OP, pls add the procesure in ur OP(after getting the solution) and give ur thread name as "Flashing stock rom after Angeek rom". Coz lots of people are flashing over angeek and facing lots of problem.
Asap answer will b appriciated.

I was facing same problem from yesterday, so i followed this
1. remove battery/SDcard/SIM
2. wait for 5 minutes
3. insert SIM and SD card and plug USB cable in phone and connect it with laptop/PC (DO NOT INSERT BATTERY)
4. wait for one minute and now insert battery (With USB cable connected)
5. switch on
6. flash stock ICS and reboot
5 flash CWM (I used 5.5 for BB ROM) and reboot
7 enter CWM
8 Mount/Unmount> click on Unmount/system again click same (so click two times)
9 now flash BB ROM and Reboot
10. Enter CWM and repeat step 8 and flash Sensation Theme. and reboot.

Vikesh.. looks good.. please add few steps as to how to make this nordic room rooted.. as you cant directly flash ardatdat kernel over it as it already full in system rom partition.. :silly:

This means if I don't have an earlier backup of ics/gb and i am on angeeks rom I can't flash any new rom...plz clarify....

Reboot to recovery, Wipe cache.

I did it no use...

What about sending it for repair again, then when it comes back do a nandroid restore of your data only (not system and other partitions), see whether that works.
