(Q) jellybam 1.3 won't flash

Hi guys. Al thou this is my first post I've been flashing my i9003 for a year or so and i've never had any problems until now.
I have an stock gingerbread installed (XXKPQ) that I flashed using odin, kernel version (2.6.35.7-CL709629 [email protected] #1)
Just so you know, I'm from Argentina, and in order to be able to use 3g, had to keep the modem in I9003LUBKB1 version.
I also flashed cf root (by Skin1980) and I'm using CWM v1.80
I get the latest jellybam (1.3) from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972087
And followed the instructions in the official website : http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/
Just in case you're too lazy to follow the link here are the instructions:
What to do if you are coming from a Stock, CyanogenMod, MIUI, AOKP and any other custom ROM different from JellyBam
-Download the latest revision of JellyBam ROM for your device
-Place the zip into your internal SDCard
-Boot into CWM recovery (Home+Power+Volume up until samsung logo appear)
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe dalvik cache (Inside advanced tab)
-Install zip from internal SDCard
-Welcome to JellyBam!
(I had to wipe the data first and then put the zip in the sd card because wiping the data was erasing the jellybam zip)
The first time I run the installer it got stuck at 50% while installing sony's media player. So i just started the process again and uncheked sony walkman player, it installed "successfully".
When the phone restarted, it was just the old gingerbread, in the about phone panel, it was all the same that before installing jellybam.
So it obviously didn't installed. I can make calls, send and receive messages, wifi is working fine.
So can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Do i have to flash a jellybean kernel?, I dont really know hoe to do that but I'm sure there's more than one post around here that explains that process.
If this question has already been posted I'm really sorry, I did search for any post that could help me with this problem but I didn't find any real answer.
I really hope somebody can help me, and sorry for the bad english, I did study the language but it was a long time ago.
Thanks everybody, specially to developers, you're awesome.:good:

I think you should fist flash theJellyBam v1.1.0 alpha4 in order to repartition before flash the v1.3. hope it can help u.

Wiping the data does not affect your Internal/External storage.

First of all thank you for your helpful answer (I clicked the thank you button).
I have cwm version 5 and I have been having the same problem than the OP. I'd like to flash a CM rom before going on to JB 1.3 so my question is, knowing that I currently have an I9003XXKPR 2.3.6 rom, can I flash CM 10 or should I start by a previous version? And, if so, which one?
Thank you for your help.

i think you should start from zero. take a backup of your files, flash a stock rom and then use universal cf root to root your phone. then flash cm 10 alpha 4 and then the jellybam 1.3. that's the way i have flashed mine. i hope it helps.

Good luck! i hope you flash it correctly! just read and follow the instructions in the cm10 thread thoroughly so you can avoid any problems.

All custom rom unofficial, not compile, but directly modify our base cyanogen
It is recommended to start on a CM10 origin
Example A3 to A4
KPE> LF2> CF-LF2
Wipe Data / Factory Reset. (MUST DO THIS STEP)
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash.
Auto rebooted into recovery (if it show error mounting / cache, and cant mount in manually mount and storage, do wipe / cache)
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash again
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata (you would not find this in CWM so just ignor 6)
8. reboot
You can then flash all based on Unofficial Alpha 4
Just do the basic procedure wipe

A small question Flashing rom/mods.

When we flash a mod or zip file [for eg. DSP manager] through CWM. And if it is not working on the rom how do we revert back to the stock rooted rom?
1. Just go into CWM recovery and restore Nand backup [no wiping anything]
2. Wiping dalvik & cache and reboot phone [no need to restore via backup]
3. Wiping AND Restoring via CWM
4. Or any other way to remove the mod [flashed zip] without restoring nand backup.
Please specify which things we have to wipe .
I am asking this question coz its really a pain to restore backup all the time if the mod [zip file] doesnt work with the rom. Thanks!

Can you try this one?
See the folders in that zip file you flashed. See the paths of different files inside it and delete it.
Like if you flashed dsp manager. It has dspmaneger.apk in that file under system/app folder and other updater scripts.
So you can just delete dspmaneger.apk from system/app from root of your device's storage. Same with other files too.

Thanks for ur reply..But i was later going to flash ACID mod...So the dev told me to get back to stock and then flash it.
If i could just remove the DSP manager like u said and flash acid rom..Then why is the dev of acid mod asking me to get back to stock?
If I have already installed Acid Audio Engine, should I just flash your mod over it, or should I go back to stock and then flash it?
Go back to stock and flash. Never mix soundmods

anyone?

Hey sorry for not replying.
There is no system where you uninstall the mods unlike you do with apps.
The method i stated above should work after clearing cache etc. But if the auther of the mod instruct you to use that on stock rom then please follow his instuctions

Mods are different and I don't know about what you installed, but it's certainly safest to restore to stock and then try the different one - that way you don't have unexpected "pieces" hanging around that may conflict with the new one.
When I restore a backup, I treat it like a completely new ROM, I wipe everything (after all, it's going to restore everything) and then hit "restore".

[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)

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

It says "This is pretty much stocked so not that many bugs.

question. i'm on stock 4.3 ROM. I want to try the kitkat,but i dont understand what do you mean by Make sure you have 4.4.2 KitKat boot loader.
Do i need to install another kernel or boot loader? or it's just to check that the update was success?

this thread should be closed, probably just a zip work without coding anything, taking pieces from other rom without asking permissions. No one asked me for bootanimation. Are you sure that you took only that from me?

Generally before installing custom ROM's on 4.4.2 you need to upgrade your OS On the device.
So you need to flash a stock KK, then flash a custom recovery, then flash a custom ROM. If you tried to flash a custom ROM designed for another bootloader you'd bootloop or potentially do damage to the device.

Please, i don't have this phone so i can't tell too much about, but for flash you can do it ONLY thru custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).
Like i said you before, ASK in that ROM thread i gave you in my first post.
Good luck
