Help needed with: Stock rom "FORCE CLOSE" also unable to install any other rom
Heya all, I'm new to the forums.
I've got an issue (or several) with my GALAXY S I9000. It was semi-bricked and I was able to (SORT OF) resurrect it.
The semi-brick consisted of constantly deploying Samsung logo. So I downloaded odin and found (many) stock roms with different androids: froyo 2.2, gngerbread 2.3, etc.
Any android I installed, right when there's the welcome steps such as configure accounts, wi-fi, etc. I started to get stormed with "FORCE CLOSE" windows to every application going (mostly GAPPS, but it's relative assuming most of the apps in these devices are google apps). This delayed the cellphone's speed terribly, oftenly rebooting and eventually allowing me to reach the home desktop, obviously throwing forcecloses every 4-5 secs.
Towards this I installed a different CWM version with ODIN, and I was going to install another rom w/ different gapps. Then it said "E:/ NO SD CARD" blabla. So i gave the sdcard a format and now it doesnt say "No SD CARD" but every rom i try to install says "ERROR (STATE 0)"
Frustrated, I tried stock roms again, (2.3 and 2.2) and I downloaded specificly the 2.2 and 2.3 gapps, installed them with CWM lending a prayer and nope, it didnt work.
I obviously ran out of ideas by now, so I came here where everyone knows more than I do (which is no merit) I beg your help!
Maybe I flashed it with a wrong PIT, or the CSC is wrong, or the ROMS arent for this device i9000, i cant know for sure, even though i read every article i downloaded stuff from (just in case) and it looked like the right one. Anyway, don't guess I did anything right, because I must've missed something. (i am paranoic indeed)
Thank you very much!
P.S. My brother has the same i9000 and I installed the roms I downloaded for mine on his device and these workedp erfectly. (But he had CWM already installed so it must've been a problem with odin flash)

I bought the Gtablet yesterday and immediatley took it home to Install a Custom Rom.. I installed clockwork recovery, and then installed the cyanogen 6.1 beta 4..everything installed correctly and it rebooted, however it did not have the marketplace or flash support, and would not autorotate with the device smoothly, so I thought I might try a different ROM but when trying to access my device VIA usb it closes quickly and will not allow access .. also I am having issues with the SD card, I can mount USB in Clockwork and copied over Vegan 5.1...it said it installed succesfully but when it launches it still says cyanogen, but says vegan in the "about phone" section this did give me a few more icons including marketplace..but it launches and then has a white screen.then closes automatically...I am afraid I have really messed something up here...any help would be greatly appreciated ...I would like to move forward with a Custom ROM and right now I dont care which one as long as it works...
issues
1. no USB connectivity
2. Marketplace and Flash issues
3. mixed ROMS?!??!?

You may have to start from scratch.
Via recovery, wipe data andcache, then flash a more stable rom like vega.
Then flash gapps and adobe flash.
.
I also just realized I posted this in Devel and not general..if a mod can move it I would appreciate it...my apologies
thanks for the quick reply...I was reading and found out i installed the vegan supplement instead of the full download...i know have vegan 5.1 ...and its starting to function a TON better...the USB is working..im going to apply the update..I think it has market and flash...I will try that..sorry for cluttering...really happy with the way this tablet is turning out...extremley happy im not bricked!!!
Hi folks and especially Chainfire if he is tracking nu-bees,
Nu-bee here. Just installed Resurrection Remix Pro ICS firmware following instructions at Galaxy2Root.com. They had me install 3 files with the Remix package, GoogleApps and GoogleAppsFix. All went well. Then the instructions told me to install 10_CWM.zip so that ClockWorkMod would work. But CWM had been overwritten, so I couldn´t install something from my internal sdcard. I thought I would be clever and install one of Chainfire´s custom CF-root packages. I selected one close to the kernel number I have installed (LPJ). I flashed it over with Odin.
No joy. The phone booted, showed the opening logo and then lay there with a black screen. But CWM recovery still was active, so I wiped the system and reinstalled the files this time including 10_CWM.zip (4 files). This time I have ICS but CWM is gone again. I´d like to back up the ROM.
I´d like suggestions as to how to get CWM installed. I would be most grateful! I read the entire 450 page set of posts on Chainfire´s CF-root upgrades (whew). I´d use one of those if I was confident that I wouldn´t go back to a black screen again.....
still trying
Well, I haven´t gotten much of a response with this. With this 10 post limit for noobies, I can´t get to the developers forum where I would find the folks who grapple with these kinds of issues.
Anyway, I flashed the latest of Chainfires kernels, the LP7 version, and ended up with a black screen again. So I went into restore (and had CWM restore at least) and restored my ROM, etc. But of course, I lost CWM in the process. And had to reconfigure my phone all over again. I had used My Backup Pro and it didn´t save the connections to the Google Market, so I had to reinstall my apps all over again. Is Titanium better in this regard? My Backup Pro claims to make better backups for rooted phones, but this was pretty feeble.
So that will be my question for this forum - should I change to Titanium? Will it get all my apps, settings, and data back into my preferred configuration?
Have a great day......
I am in same boat as you are. I buy i just installed rom with Rom manager and i have Gapps fixer and remix one left and CWM ofcourse. So my problem is i don't have Ex-sd as they suggest to Install "Cwm.zip from external sd card from recovery". How to do so ?
Please help
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Never mind I sort it out Yesterday. I installed from Rom manager & Flash recovery from it and then boot up into recovery from App and then Flash Touch Recovery.
Hello,
I have rooted my Xoom 2 ME and installed Safestrap 3.12 as explained here.
Apparently something went wrong after I tried to restore a backup to the Stock ROM Slot. I now have the Blue (instead of Red) Motorola Logo when I boot, followed by error messages telling me the "UI System" and "Configure" Applications have stopped.
Trying to solve the problem, I did a factory reset from the Stock Recovery Boot and now I see that I have lost all my Safestrap Backups and Slots.
So I have no backups to restore and no other Slots than the Stock ROM, which I cannot boot.
What are my options ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
A quick update on this
I'm having help form runandhide05 who is amazingly kind with me, answering all my questions in PM.
I have a Wi-Fi only 8.2 Xoom 2 bought in France so I have flashed this ROM : 0.268.4.MZ607.Retail.en.FR.
I could boot but when I tried to update OTA it failed. It downloads, start updating and fails so I am stuck in 3.2.2.
Also whenever I reach the page of an application in the Android Market, the Android Market quits.
Finally adb doesn't see my device.
I've tried flashing another ROM with the same result : 0.281.8.MZ607.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
All this is very new to me, I feel like I have learned a lot in 24 ours but I really have no idea were to go to solve this and feel like I am asking a lot to runandhide05 at the moment so if anyone as "qualified" as him had any idea to help it would be amazing.
… again runandhide05, thank you so much for all your help so far.
Problem solved !
The update succeeded when done via the "Motorola Device Manager" on PC.
After that I could use Google Play without it to quit and adb saw my device again.
I re-rooted and re-installed Safestrap with no troubles.
After several hours on the internet I finally found the solution to upgrading to a custom rom/and how to install the stock firmware even after my device was bricked. I downloaded all the necessary tar.md5 files, and unlocked/rooted my phone. The only custom rom I have not been able to successfully use is cyanogenmod. Although I'm sure I just need to find the most current version that has the bugs worked out. I have a verizon Galaxy S III, but I have straight talk service. I have successfully installed Carbon, and Liquid Jellybean. Liquid jelly bean has a ton of options, and my camera actually worked. With carbon it did not. Although I did save a backup of my phone to my SD card I was not able to retrieve my apps. and contacts on the new operating systems. I'm sure with further exploration I can find a custom rom, and have everything I need. I have only been doing this for two days now. While my device was bricked I spent countless hours searching the internet, and there was only one detail that kept me from being successful sooner. I read in someones post that keis air doesnt work well with ODIN. not true in my case I have version 3.07. I found a downloadable version of keis and put it on my computer. I went to tools and selected upgrade firmware/initilization. This enabled me to install the stock firmware/and unbrick my device, but not after following all the wrong ways to fix it.I made sure to look for my model, carrier, and device. I still have no idea how people had so many different variables that supposedly worked for them. download ODIN 3.07, all the neccessary files, Kies air ,and you will be successful. the link to root/install custom recovery is on androidable. Since I am a new user to this site I am not able to post outside links. how convenient.
Hello!
I have the following problem and after countless searches over many forums I ended up finding no answer:
About 4-5 months ago my P5100 started to restart itself after 1 or 2 minutes of functioning properly (restarts even faster if i try to connect over Wi-Fi or install an app). I thought that if I leave it for a while everything will be ok, it wasn't the case so I started trying to fix it. Before I go on I mention that my P5100 was rooted , running CWM version 5.5 and CM10(10.1.3), i haven't messed with the rom, recovery, firmware etc. for more that one year and a half so it started all of a sudden. I tried everything starting from simply updating the CM version to ADB commands and finally flashing back to the stock firmware with Odin. The wipe data/factory reset didn't work neither in recovery nor commands, I even tried to delete everything via Internal Storage in my pc through USB. Every time it reverts itself to the point it was left before although everything seemed to work just fine no errors or so. It doesen't remember after reboot any setting I made or any app that i installed(if I manage to install one) it is like i didn't do anything at all to it. :crying:
Many thanks for taking your time to read my thread and maybe help me:laugh:
