[Q] Bootlooping Problem in Galaxy S I9000

---

Hi,

I have a problem when trying to flash my galaxy s and install ICS Dark night v5.5.

When I try updating the kernel using ODIN, my phone gets into bootloop.

It is a froyo installed phone. Also, I am unable to get recovery mode. It enters download mode though.

Can anyone help me out in this??? I am very new to this stuff... I am a beginner...

Held up in this for a couple of weeks.....

Thanks,
Sridhar

If you can boot into download mode, use ODIN to flash a stable rom, then get CWM and your back to where you were, hold off the nightly builds or post in the Cyanogenmod official thread or forums.

Thanks a lot... That did work.. But now i have got Mobile network not available error after flashing.....

Probably best to mention which version of software you are using and the source...

Best option is to flash stock gingerbread version via Odin.

sorry can't put correct address in yet dont have enough thanks...

it would be better to update to any stable stock rom, go to sammobile.com...
i suggest you update to the latest firmware or ics stock rom for i9000 via odin then root that firmware you have chosen(CF-ROOT) and then update the custom rom darknight v5.5 via cwm...

I think you need gingerbread bootloaders for ics.. You were on Froyo, so it won't work.. You'll need to install a stock gingerbread rom with the pit file and repartition.. After that you can try an ics rom..

I found this thread. After attempting to get CM9 onto my S it wouldn't boot so I used odin to install a stock from from sammobile but now the phone just boot loops.

Could someone please help me.

More info:

After the odin flash - I get a screen like the recovery menu saying things such as "E:Format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10" and things of a similar nature - will have to see what the others say.

Any ideas?

You probably flashed a rom without bootloaders. Try flashing a 3 file rom from here and repartition with 512 pit.
