hey guys
my first post on xda actually yesterday i updated my xgamerz v2.2 rom to xgamerz v3 using clockworkmod recovery v6.0.28 everything else worked fine except it vant reboot into recovery ... i CAN reboot in download mode but not recovery.
when i reboot into recovery the samsung galaxy sl page slowly fades away and again reboots the phone into normal mode without going to recovery ( i.e. directly loading to os )
plz help asap
for now do a clean flash from ddlf2 then upgrade v3.. your problem will get solved.. and always wipe dalvik cache and format the system when upgrading the same custom rom. if you are going to any other custom rom just do full clean flash form ddlf2.. so that the rom won't cause any problem in your day to day life..
hope this helps you.

you mean go back to gingerbread 2.3.6 then flash cm10 and then xgamerz with all user data gone
instead of doing all this , i was wondering if i could flash a recovery using nandroid manager app( it has an option to flash recovery) but iam not getting a proper download link for my firmware. . . plz guide
try this : https://googledrive.com/host/0B4xN9...3.0/kernel-cm-10-20130906-galaxysl-signed.zip . and if this didn't work then you'll need to do a clean flash. just do titanium backup of all apps and also backup all you contacts and messages. restore them when you flash v3. you'll get all your userdata and apps as it is. and no need to flash cm10 after ddlf2, just directly flash v3 after flashing ddlf2 ( v3 is based on cm10, so no need to flash that)

try this application : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify if this didn't work then you'll not have any other way except clean flash. till my knowledge I think it's not possible to flash any recovery on jb ROM's due to different partitioning. i'll still suggest you to do a full app backup with titanium backup and restore it when you flash v3. happy flashing

nope that didnt work :'(
go to xgamers v3 page ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192613) and read the 3rd post which says " IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE FLASHING
THIS RELEASE!" you'll come to know what I'm trying to tell you since beginning.. most important : 1st and 5th point.

I thought I could flash a theme to the stock ICS leak. But apparently that doesn't work because it's not de-odexed. Is there a way to de-odex the stock ROM on my phone? If not, is there a way to undo my theme flash (I forgot to make a backup ). Or, can I go back to stock ICS by just flashing the Odin one click ICS leak?
If you're not worried about losing anything try factory reset. Sometimes themes will stick, if it does just flash through Odin and your good to go.

Yeah, I tried the factory reset. It didn't do anything. I'm not worried about losing data though. I have everything backed up with Titanium. So, I can flash directly from Odin without clearing cache, etc through CWM?
Themes do not work on odexed . Period. Flash one of the custom . Deodexed ics roms if u wsnt a theme
If u flash the collective ics rom . You will not loose data or anything. Just download and flash. It will sort out your issue. And give u a good rom check it out here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1548469
Its the 4.0.3 ics rom at the bottom of the op

I'm a little confused. Do I just flash it in CWM without wiping anything, or do I follow these instructions?
1. Make a nandroid backup, it is always a good idea
2. Have your apps backed-up with titanium
3. Downloadrom, and place onsd card
4. Shutdown, and boot to cwm recovery
5. Wipe data, wipe cache
6. Select mounts/storage, and choose format system
7. Flash rom
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot.
10. Enjoy

For my ics rom. Wipe NOTHIng. Just flash it
Hello everyone,
I installed custom ROM for the first time on my Galaxy fit , flashed with CM9 ICS for FIT with CWM 5.0.2.
Installed CWM by Odin.
It worked fine. Then I tried Creed v4 ROM and wiped cache and data from CWM.
The ROM was giving problems so I wanted to revert back to CM9 so flashed again with CM9 but this time
when I tried to wipe data , it freezed on formatting data.
I tried to revert to stock Rom with Odin and this is now happening with the Stock 2.3.4 ROM too.
CWM cannot wipe data , Is my partition corrupted?
I cannot wipe data partition and All Roms freeze on Boot animation.
Pls help , I am tired of flashing again and again...
Is there any other way to do this.
I am using Stock XWKQ2 for 5670 on samsdroid.com
not every stock from writes the data partition try a Odin flashable rom which writes /data partition may resolve the problem

Thanks for the reply ,
I have used two stock roms for the phone and flash them from Odin.
S5670XWKQ2.tar
I'll use DDKT2 and come back.
Is there any way to repair the data partition?
single tar will not work use the four package file but still its not 100% sure to help

I need to upgrade a device running stock froyo(yeah!!)
Do I need to update to any gingerbread rom first before flashing CM7/9/10 as the file format is different or can it be done directly?
P.S. I do not own the device so have little knowledge about this, did try to search first but excuse me if this has been answered before(link please?)

I had rooted my phone, and did use Jelly Blast for a while worked perfect. After a few days I tried installing mods through cwm which led to boot loops. I used odin and got stock ROM for my phone . Now when I tried installing Nemesis ROM, I followed all steps right but though it shows Nemesis boot picture, it still boots into the stock OS.
Update ur cwm version
Flash ur rom again
It will ask u to disable stock recovery say yes
This should fix ur problem:thumbup:
Hit thanks if i helped

I have tried the following steps:
1. Odin stock rom: I just have pda,csc and modem. I do not have bootloader and pit.
2. Then went to Recovery and installed CWM
3. Installed custom rom JELLY Blast which previously had no issues. (Before this I wiped data,cache & dalvik)
4. Result - > Stuck on Samsung screen.
After which I cannot get back to any recovery mode anymore, it is stuck on samsung screen. All I have to do is go back to download mode and odin it again. But I really want to be back on custom roms

Hi,
This is not your phone issue alone but any phone can face this. To reproduce this issue, it takes more than what you have mentioned. But the solution comes through if you follow these steps just as listed by me here:
1. Get an older version of official Samsung Firmware (preferably 1 or 2 versions older than the latest one)
2. Flash this using ODIN (if flashing fails at any point via ODIN user an even older Stock Firmware version)
3. If you can boot into the Rom fine, reboot to its Stock Recovery
4. From Stock recover, start the CWM.zip that you have (version 5 or 6 whichever lets you load fine, does not matter at this point)
5. When inside CWM, go into Advanced and select "Fix Permissions"
6. Only after you have fixed permissions, go ahead and do the Wipes in the order below
7. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache, Wipe Data
8. Once this is done, load the custom ROM you want to install from this CWM session
9. After install, when you go for reboot, see if you get any option that says something like "prevent from flashing stock recovery" or so, say yes to it.
This should fix any permission issue that may be preventing you to get to your favorite ROM from stock ROM.
Let me know if this helps or if I can help you further.
Glad if this helped you in any way !

Thanks a Ton, this helped me. The only step I did not perform earlier is Fix Permissions.
Look, I need some help.
This morning, my GFit (running CM10.1, latest stable build) went crazy, by FCing Play Store and Services, and as well Poweramp everytime I tried to open it. I used my process killer and killed everything that was running. But then Trebuchet (launcher) and other things started FCing and I had to remove the battery of it. Then I got bootloop when I turned it on. Removed the battery again, wiped cache, data, dalvik-cache, fixed permission and battery stats and tryed to boot. Again I got bootloop. Then I re-wiped everything (I didn't fix permission or battery stats) and tryed to re-flash CM10.1. Bootloop again.
I then decided to install a stock rom and unroot my GFit via Odin. Downloaded the brazilian stock rom from sammobile.com, put the BENI.ops file, choosed the one package file from the stock rom and started. It passed on Odin after 4:51 minutes. I rebooted in recovery, wiped data and rebooted it normally. I'm still getting bootloops. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm considering in taking it to Samsung to try to fix it. Does anyone have any idea or could help me out?
By the way, I'm getting this error in stock recovery when I try to wipe data. (E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl13) and I'm getting an error when rebooting my Fit (something like /dataReboot).
Don't flash official stock rom directly over cm10+... U should have flashed cm7(for instance) easily & it would b all fine...
So, two different ways u can try now...
Method 1:-
Flash cwm recovery by tjstyles (v5.0.2.7) via Odin...Then boot into recovery mode...wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/system)...Then flash the latest official cm7...Then again wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache. & see if it boots...
Method 2:-The case where ur bootloader might b the problem:-
Now, first of all u *must* flash froyo(4 package) via Odin...wipe data/cache(factory reset) & see if it boots. If it does... then flash gingerbread as usual.
Hope this helps...!!!

I tried Method 1 and it didn't work, then I asked a friend with a bit more experience in Android to do Method 2 for me and my GFit is back to life.
So thanks man! Really appreciated!
ur most welcome...!!
Hi. I have tbe same problem, can u elaborate the method 2 with froyo links.
