Can't Install Custom ROMs - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

hi guys.
I have problems when installing certain custom ROMS using CWM acording to the Baseband used.
Don't Know why, but when I wanted to install VURRUT KPU again (i had done it several times) Screen keeps on the first image of SAMSUNG SCL I9003 and nothing happens.
I tried to use another custom ROM based on LF2, and when I install it via CWM, it does the same thing, the only difference is that the phone reboots and comes back again to the same SAMSUNG screen.
My phone is galaxy SCL I9003L but i've never had problems installing those ROMs.. It's very strange.
Please if someone could explain me if there is a reason why it's happening this, tell me, i'm a bit scared, using Stock FROYO I9003LUBKB1.
Thanks

Because your'e still in FROYO. Upgrade it first to gingerbread. See my post. General Guide for noobies.

i've been in froyo, GB , ICS and JB.. i know how to flash roms and pass from one to other..
But my problem is when I try to Install VURRUT KPU or MASTER ROM LF2..
I had used VURRUT's before with no problems, but not now, and that is my problem.. I don't know why

Oh so ur phone is i9003L!
I think u can try the qwerty Rom, as far as I remember once LoSco (rom dev) told that his rom can also be used for Argentine version of SL i.e; Galaxy SL i9003L.
To confirm, just ask in that thread once then go for flashing it if he says yes.
Hope this helps u.

[Q] Which custom ROM is recommended for me?

Hi all,
I need help deciding which custom ROM to flash to my i9003, but i want one that has full Arabic support and a good camera firmware. If possible, please post images of ROMs you recommend, any help is appreciated
Good camera- gingerbread has dim video recording, so choose a froyo custom rom. Maybe cranium 3.1(I tink its froyo, not sure) and should have Arabic(again, I'm not sure). Check out the android dev section for that rom, and also I believe you can add Arabic patch to any cRom.

hello mate,
Well if you not interested in video record, I suggest for you Cyanogenmod 7 it is so smooth and stable with some issue that can be fixed soon, like video record, apps can't use mic.
this is my chose
and have fun
@bscraze Thanks for your response. Ive been reading a little about Cranium 3.1, and i'm about to flash it but i had a question related to the instructions given by sakindia123:
he says clean flash to XXKPH, so can i flash to JPKP5 instead? it is exactly the same version of gb but just different region (language)
maybe anyone can answer my question without having to start a new thread over it
thanks..

I don't think so, there's no reason not flash to xxkph, unless you're sim locked. If you still want to try, go ahead, I'm not sure weather it will work. If it doesn't you can always reflash, as it will result in a soft brick at most
Sent from my GT-i9003 powered by MIUI
cranium is GB, not froyo. don't flash the rom without upgrading to GB first. (I see that was mentioned that you know it's GB, so just a warning...). in addition, if you haven't seen it yet and you want to use push mail notification, GB has a bug on all ROMs that keeps it from working properly. if you don't need it, then flash away!

The reason i dont want to flash to xxkph is that it doesnt support Arabic :/

Actually i do need the push mail notification, but i hate the Froyo keyboard, copy/paste options and some other things.. bottom line: i'll stick to GB (thanks for warning)
BUT i want it custom GB (i chose Cranium) and i'm facing the language issue mentioned above

Other popular custom roms include titanium s(IMO it's good) and poseidons rom(many people use this rom) or cranium 5.1.

Well they both have Arabic patch, just that I'm not sure if its preinstalled in cm7. Cm7 has dsp manager which is good, Poseidon I'm not sure if it has dsp manager. Its really personal preference, for me I prefer cm7. Poseidon just wasnt for me . If you try and you feel it doesnt suit your taste, then switch. Right now I love miui so much I haven't switched roms ever since I flashed it, though im aa flashaholic and flash a lot of roms in the past for my android phones

Remember to do a full wipe before and after flashing(for safety) and you may want to flash a custom kernel after that, maybe xda bam or uc kernel, and remember to wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing the kernel.
Remember that if you can't boot your phone but can access download mode, don't panic, just do a reflash. Eg. Reflash kpq.
PS. I recommend uc kernel v9 2009 or 1009 or 3009 if your phone can handle the overclock. Also, custom roms are definitely better than stock roms have fun flashing

Yes its based on XXKPQ but i tired it with KPU before coz i read that its better w/ KPU.
EDIT- but if you encountered some bugs repeat the method til XXKPQ then flash poseidon.

Because standard rom is clubbed with lots of applications which are useless and not only take your space but ram too.....most of the custom roms are stripped version and available only after rooting...which will help you to get 'administrative' rights as in case of windows PC.
so you can even decide initial start up !!!!
the design of the stock rom makes me flash it again..

Install Bam kernel 14fix, it looks like you rooted from a valuepack and that's why wifi broke.
And no, all ICS roms currently used are for developers and are in no way fit as a daily driver, all of them still contain video recording issue and lag issues.
Just use custom gb roms for the time being if you want a completely stable rom.

For installing "RECOVERY"-you need 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)
Or else you will end up with same situation as before.
So make sure you are on Gingerbread first
If you already on Gingerbread then no need of that step..install recovery and then flash roms.
If you are on Froyo then flash Gingebread first..then recovery and then roms.

P920 Custom Rom Issues

Good day all I have a Problem that I can not resolve or I am doing something wrong. I had a Sony Play before and flashing Rom on it was a breeze, but i have got myself a lg Optimus 3D and seem to be difficult. When I am on a rooted gingerbread Rom with cwm touch installed everything is working. My Sim card is working and I have no random shutdowns. I have installed a couple of Roms on my phone and all have the same problem. What I have installed is the Walkman Rom, Miui v5 3.6.7 and Miui v5 3.3.29. All have the same problem . When I did is a factory reset,clear cache and install Rom everything works. When I load up the newly installed Rom I have random reboots and my Sim is not detected. About 5 minutes into using Rom it freezes for about 5 seconds then the screen turns black and to get it back on I have to do a battery pull. I have tried with ICS Rom but get boot loop. Can someone help me with this issue that I am have problems with. Thanks for you time.

OK thanks for the ics tutorial very helpful. But don't mean to sound like a newbie but how can i solve the problem with my installed custom Roms not working?? Or will this work to with customs jellybean Roms . Thanks again for you helpfulness and time.
Chrisdzie
For ICS based ROMs to work you first need to install ICS.That explains the bootloop. Normally you can't jump from GB to an ICS ROM. The guide shows you how to do that. Then you can choose XBSA ROM or whatever working one you like.
I have not used CM based ROMs, as 3D has not been made to work in these (there is no official LG JB for this phone yet). So, I am not sure about the install process for those.

There's no shame of being a newbie everyone was once a newbie before they become masters.
Well before I have installed jellybam v 7.8.0 which is a jellybean based Rom. Loved the options and worked fine, but after a day or two my internal storage became full and phone freezed up and unresponsive. Did research and found out that it was a bug. I installed that through official GB Rom. So I went back,then tried to install miui v5 and then walkman but they have the same shutdown and sim not detected issues. People with those Roms installed don't seem to have those issues. So you can see where I am confused. Thanks

Ok,ok,ok I think I have found the problem but don't know how to fix it... When I install the custom ROM my imei number is blank which is causing me phone to crash. When I revert back to stock ROM my imei number is back and my phone running without any problems.. Is there a fix for this, or did I need to do something with this before installing my custom ROM. (drastic00)- thanks for the link and sorry for the trouble. Thanks everybody that has helped me.

Well thanks everybody that had tried to help me but I have sold my p920 and got myself a HTC sensation. I did not like stock ROM on p920 and since custom firmware never worked then there was no use. Again thanks everybody.
