Status 7 in every ROM I try to Flash

Hi guys I've been trying for two days to flash a custom ROM on an Galaxy S Plus I9001 and every rom I try gets aborted by Clockwork (status 7), I have no more clues on what to try. So far I've tried CM9 by ivendor, CM10 by NitroX and two more customs (which I don't remember right now), every single one ends in Status 7. The digital signature is turned off, I've wiped everything that can be wiped :P, but no luck.

If anybody can clue me in, I would greatly appreciate it, being that this is my father-in-law's phone =))

Hi all,

After flashing the CM9 RC4 ROM from arco I experienced some problems. My phone regularly shut down for no reason (when it wasn't connected to power), but it was a lot smoother than ivendor's RC5. Since arco told someone with the same problem that the problem might be the kernel, I tried a different kernel: broodkernel 1.4 NonOC.

I wiped both cache and Dalvik cache and flashed the new kernel. It worked great, and it was even smoother! So far, so good, but when I tried to connect it with my computer, it didn't work. My computer recognizes it (in device manager), but it won't show up in Explorer and sometimes gives a Code 10 error: "Device won't start". I tried all different USB connection settings on my phone, turned ADB on/off, tried uninstalling drivers on my laptop, but it doesn't work. When I flash back to arco's RC4 kernel, USB works again, but I would like to use broodkernel.

Does anyone else experience the same problem, or does anyone have a solution?

I flashed CM10 alpha 7 by invendor in my galaxy s plus. Was running smoothly then I got updated my GT - I9001 from Alpha 7 to CM10 beta 1 by invendor. It is also smooth. And everything is perfectly fine. Every feature is working.

Cell was little bit slow. Then I installed pimp my rom and only used entrophy feature. Which make my cell little more smoother. I overlocked my cpu from 365 min to 1400 maximum with ondemand profile.

Then I ran into an app which I was looking for. The app is Roehsoft. It extended my ram by 1gb using sd card. And now my mobile is running like a horse.

Then one of my friend suggested me here at XDA to install walkman. When I went to install Sony walkman music player there was also Sony bravia engine 2 app. I installed both of them. Now I have mobile which is quite like s3.

Amazing video quality with bravia engine. Great sound of walkman. Thanks for the person who worked on it.

Battery backup is quite sweet.

I love my mobile now. I can play heavy graphics games. Which I was not able to play due to low ram. Now it is working like a butter.

10 stars to Roehsoft developers. And some to other developers at this forum as well.

You should try a different kernel. It's not just you, a bunch of people are having issues with arco's 3.0.62 ariesve kernel.

There are a number of options available (CastagnaIT, Nexus kernel, ...) or you can use a different version of Brood's kernel. Specifically worth mentioning are a couple of custom builds of updated versions of arco's kernel. (Read: arco still updates the kernel, for the Galaxy W, but some people are merging those updates back to the S+ and building it for our enjoyment.) You can find those in arco's CM9 thread, but here are direct links:

Personally, I'm using Doomsday's kernel & RC4 and I don't have those issues any more.

EDIT: it appears I had been lucky. I've just had 2 random shutdowns in 5 minutes using Doomsday's kernel...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefan-Z:
Thanks a lot, I just installed Doomsday's kernel and it connects to the computer again!

I changed the max CPU freq to 1401 again, since I rather not have it OC'ed, but I think this kernel will do!

Still, I'm wondering why broodkernel didn't work...

EDIT: I'll let you know when I have the same shutdown problems.

EDIT2: I've decided to flash to RC3, since I read that most people think this is the most stable version. It runs alright with the kernel that comes with it, but I might try Doomsday's kernel soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
I think it may be better, because CastagnaIT kernel has undervolt for CPU, screen and wifi, but i never used nexus kernel, so i can't tell you the differences... you may try it yourself and let us know :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Matto-:
Then I'll have to try both the kernel and see if one of two solve, I am sorry to delete my data again before installing them.

However, I have checking again the battery consumption when using the wifi and it is normal.

I am increasingly convinced that the problem exists only when the module wifi is on but not in use. :confused: (i know it's strange)

I assumed that this defect depends on the kernel, but maybe it's just the rom.

Unfortunately I have not read of anyone with this problem on the thread of the rom.

Hey Marshian,

I am on arcos RC3 and want to install castagnaIt kernel. Do I need to wipe data? Or just the procedure on his first post is enough.

Also I need to change the governor n frequency for lag free gaming and then change it back to default. Can u suggest me the right way?:confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefan-Z:
To install just follow the step-by-step install guide in the first post from CastagnaIT. No need to wipe data when switching kernels, just wipe cache, wipe Dalvik and fix permissions.

Changing the frequency: Settings > Performance > Processor. You can change both governor and frequencies there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishdroid:
I know it can b changed from performance but CastagnaIT says to use some incredi control app. Any idea about it?

Yes, but if the 3G si enabled but the WiFi is off, the draining of the battery is normal, that' s why I think WiFi is the problem.

Brood Business Edition was amazing!! try to implement a GB kernel with overclocking and undervolting if present! it will do the trick!

Quite difficult to do so. I do not think that there is a .zip file to flash bootloader.

what does it mean: USB busted? do it charge the phone, but do not connect to pc? if so try and clean it: Galaxy S USB clean if not this case search another clean usb thread,

if it is completly busted buy a new one and install it! is quite cheap and it gives back everything to the phone!

A few questions regarding the Value Pack

Hello everyone,

I have switched back from CM10 to stock 2.3.6 (KQI Value Pack) because of battery life, and one thing I lack is keyboard in my own language (serbian). How can I install a

samsung

serbian keyboard? Not 3rd party keyboard from the play store, but the samsung one. And it would be great if I could find the one like on the SII with squared edges.

Also, my app drawer keeps rearranging everytime I restart the phone. Is there a fix to that? I have read that it is a common bug - EDIT: Solved with AppZorter from play store.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roitza:
Hi I was in the same situation like you, i tried CM9&10 but none of this satisfied me as my old GB, so I returned tu my stock 2.3.6. After a while I started missing the advantages of a custom rom, but none of that cm crap. So I started tested GB customs. My conclusion:

BlazR's is the best ROM at performance, fluidity and smoothness, but the development stopped fact that left o couple of bugs that in time could get annoying(you should try it though maybe you can get over them); ginger revenge+skyhigh kernel is the best in my opinion, NO bugs, good performance, etc(and after 2 mounths spent on jb I realized that GB has a better UI and is more user friendly)

Hello everybody!

I have a question to Phenom Kernel. I have flashed CM10 and want to flash a Phenom Kernel. But my question is now, what for version should i take?

v1.2.5:

"WARNING!!! Flash this only if you have problems with OC on normal version"

I don't overclock my mobile phone. So i can't take this version, right?

There are v.1.2.4, .2 and .1. I read the change loges, but i don't really understand it. What was exactly changed there?

And the difference between exUV and UV is:

UV = under Voltage

exUV = extrem under Voltage

Ya, that says it all. But if you take exUV than many programs are not stable. Is that true? As aigainst UV, there are all Programs stable.

I don't know pls explain me that:).

So, what Kernel version should i take? What is the best and what version fit with the CM10?

Sorry for my English, my first language is German^^.

that's a soft brick! do not panic! do a battery pull. leave it resto for 2-3 minutes than plug battery and boot to donload mode! it should boot to download mode and than you can use again odin and flas a firmware! If does not boot to download mode anymore you juat need a USB Jig. you can find it on amazon and ebay for cheap price or search for the guide to build it. I suggest to buy it. in 3-4 days you will have it! when you have it, do a battery pull, plug the battery, but do not boot the phone. Plug in the jig and wait for the phone to boot in download mode!! flash rom via odin, DONE!

ExUV will not give problems with the programs! it is a UV but with lower voltages. As things are now not all the i9001 around the world support ExUV, we do not know why but some phones just turn off suddendly with exUV. So trey the ExUV, that is more battery friendly adn if your phone works good stay with it! if it has random turn off change to UV ;)

for the version just download the 1.2.5 ExUV and try it, if you have problems like said before flash 1.2.5 UV. if you have again problem the special OC Tables, but just if you have problems!

you can use it with any CM10 based rom!!!! I suggest the blazing fast ivendor's Beta 01

Another Question to flash the CM10 and the Kernel:

I actually have the CM10 and the Phenom Kernel v1.2.1. I want to flash both again, because i have a bug(the "restart-function" doesn't work)

I start my mobile Phone in the Recovery Mode, then i do a full wipe(this means: format system, format sdcard,(i dont format emmc, because i dont want to delete mit extern card) wipe dalvik, wipe cache, wipe data), then i flash the CM10. Afterwards i reboot my phone and i create my google account. Then i start my Phone again in the Recovery Mode and do wipe dalvic, data and cache. Then i flash the v1.2.5 Kernel and reboot my System --> finish! Is that all right?

Generally i have to do a full wipe before i flash a ROM. But i only have to wipe data, cache and dalvik if i flash Kernel, because it is senlesse bevor flashing a kernel format system and sdcard, because the ROM is deleted then.

Mh.. But i dont really know, when i must wipe. Must i also wipe after a ROM-flash and a Kernel-flash? And before, too?

Pls explain me exactly, what i have to do. I have read many threads, but it always says something different.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeeqR:
Yes it does support.

@hallohallo222 why do you format system etc...it's enought to factory reset and wipe cache and a dalvin cache wipe if it's required,at least for me.And to flash Phenom Kernel

Phenom Kernel v1.2.5 exUV (369MB RAM)

Phenom Kernel v1.2.5 UV (369MB RAM)

Phenom Kernel v1.2.5 -stock PMEM- (350MB)

you don't need to wipe anything

Flash a ROM:

I have to wipe data, cache and dalvik before the flash. Then i flash CM 10 and afterwards i reboot my phone, go in the recovery mode and wipe cache, data and dalvik again. --> Is this right?

And you sure that i don't need a wipe, when i flash a Kernel? Some People say that i have to wipe(cache, data, dalvik) before and after flashing a ROM or a Kernel.

USB host

Hi!

I am new here and I have question..

I have cm10 on my sgs plus..and I wonder is there suport for usb host on that phone?

And if that ROM does not suport ti can anyone tell me wich one does?

tnx ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagothe9:
Do not worry! You need to format the partition just if you have major issues. If you are just flashing roms or kernel you could just wipe.

But let's answer you question!

FOR ROMS:

if you change rom branch, for example you go from 2.3.7 to 4.0.4 or from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, you do need to wipe data, cache dalvik before flashing it!

If you do flash an update, for example you go from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 you do not need to wipe data, but the other are suggested, you can anyway wipe them if you have problems.

Keep up the attentio to CyanogenMod! because to upgrade from CM9 to CM10 is an upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 so you need to wipe data!

If you flash an update like this: you are on CM10 Alpha 7 and you flash CM10 Beta 1 you do not need to wipe anything! Not data not cache not dalvik!

Remember that also if you stay on CM10 based roms, so you basically do not need to wipe data, some heavy tweaked roms may need it, but it is explained in the installation instruction!

FOR Kernel:

for kernel you do not need to wipe anything if it is not explained in the installation instruction in the kernel thread! BUT CastagnaIT, a good kernel dev, suggest to install them like this: Reboot to recovery, wipe cache wipe dalvik, flash kernel! reboot system! reboot to recovery, wipe cache wipe dalvik, fix permission reboot system!

hope this help!

it should be avaiable for any android 3.1 and later! so it should work. but i never used it. sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallohallo222:
Ok good, i understand.

Okay, that means i don't need a wipe for the Phenom Kernel.

Other Question to ROM: Do i need wipe data, calvik and cache, after i flashed the ROM? Many People says i need this.

After flashing ROM: Do i need immediately a reboot, or can i immediate wipe data, calvic and cache and then do the reboot? And do i need fix permissions anywhere?

When i do before flashing ROM, format sdcard, then the rom-.zip is deleted and i can't flash my new ROM and that is the reason why this is senseless, right?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagothe9:
that could be due to an hardware problem, i do not think that i9001's micro usb has the possibility to transmit power, so basically the problem is that those peripherals is the lack of power in them. but i'm just guessing....

to answer yo your previous question: You can wipe terically whenever you want. i suggest , if you are totally upgrading the phone, to wipe everything before and everything after the flash. For the sd card, it is no need to format it. The external above all so if you put .zips ther eyou are safe. anyway you may need to format the interna because it's full of of folders created by old apps. it is you choiche!it is not needed!!!

For your actual problemdo as i suggest: reboot to recovery--> wipe cache wipe dalvik-->flash ivendor CM10 zip, flash gapps--> reboot system

then try to reboot the phone as when it was frozen. it should restart safe and sound, i know this because now you have stock ivendor kerne like me and it works! if it reboot normally then reboot to recovery: flash kernel-->wipe cache wipe dalvik-->reboot system-->reboot to recovery--> fix permission-->reboot system. then try again the reboot command and look if it now freezes. if it does so then it's a kernel bug. report it on the dev thread. and anyway check there if it is a known issue!
