Which custom ROM? With which CWM?
I recommend CWM 5.
Go in CWM, in CWM go on next: wipe data/reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced go in wipe dalvik cashe.
Flash custom ROM. Now again go on wipe data/reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced go in wipe dalvik cashe.
Reboot phone. Wait, and after about 5 minutes system need be booted.

Need more HELP

Download stock ROM (Android 2.3.6) for your location from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
In Search write: s5670, and you will get list of Android.
Stock ROM install with ODIN.
After install CWM 5.
Now flash custom ROM with CWM 5.
Wipe data/reset, wipe cashe partition, in Advanced, wipe dalvik cashe.
Flash ROM.
Again Wipe data/reset, wipe cashe partition, in Advanced, wipe dalvik cashe.
Reboot phone. After about 5 minutes system need be boot.

1. I have Windows 8 Pro x64 and all is O.K.
2. Extract .tar file with WinRAR or 7Zip.
For ODIN you need install driver of Android for PC. If you are connected with Internet, it need install automatic.
You need in ODIN use Beni v1.0.ops.
Have stock ROM with 1 file and 4 files.

Can't find the .tar file anywhere o/l

GALAXY Y Boots only in Stock ROM even after flash

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:

Hey I'm a noob. By flash your rom, do you suggest to flash the same nemesis rom again? And what will ask me to disable stock recovery? I have cwm version 5.0.2.6 right now.

try this
wipe data
wipe cache
wife dalvik cache
install stock rom via odin
then install your desired rom via cwm

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.

[Q] can't reboot into recovery mode

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)

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) [/QUOTE]
i have downloaded it but neither rom tool box nor
nandroid manager app is able to restore it... will u plz tell me how to use it.

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

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.

Gfit stuck on bootloop...

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...!!!

So thanks man! Really appreciated!

On what rom are you currently at? Is your bootloader UNLOCKED?
If you are on stock ( NOTE: YOU NEED JELLY BEAN 4.2.2 TO INSTAL CUSTOM KITKAT ROMS!!!) then you will need to instal a program which is called FLASHTOOL into your computer.
You will need this in case your phone gets soft bricked or you want to implement fresh kernel installation on your device.
You will need to flash latest clockwork recovery in order to flash newly updated ROMS. (example are THUNDERZAP 4.6 or PHANTOM kernels)
NOTE: Before procceding put your downloaded CUSTOM ROM (ZIP.file) in your internal storage.
After installing kernel,reboot your phone and when the LED light start showing on the bottom of your phone start pressing (or one long press) the volume UP key. Then you will enter into recovery mode.
True there navigate the menu true up/down volume keys.
Go and do CLEAN INSTALL/FACTORY RESET.
Find your CUSTOM ROM file....and flash it!
Reboot your phone and let it load the freshly new installed KK 4.4.4 on your device.
After you set up your phone you will need one more thing.... Ggapps (google apps)
Look up Gapps for KitKat 4.4.4.....download them and flash them true recovery.
That woud be it.....

And can you provide the download links for TWRP, Kernal and Graphics glitches?

I am currently on the stock ROM given by Sony which is 4.2.2 and the Build no. if 15.3.A.1.17
My bootloader is not unlocked. But my phone is rooted.
And can I make a backup of my entire phone before unlocking bootloader?
And can you provide the download links for TWRP, Kernal and Graphics glitches?
And the procedure for installation of these files would be very much helpful.
I searched for these files but was unable to find it.

Unlock your bootloader first.
Then download flastool program.
Then just flash any kernel and you will have CWM/TWRP.... ( the TWRP is in the custom kernel!)
You dont need graphical glitches fix because its all been fixed in newest versions of the roms.
