Ok, after following the instructions on the OP with the tips from the last posts, the Gio boots to the startup screen that reads "GALAXY Gio GT-5660" and hangs here.. Nothing more.

I can still go to recovery though.

Have I bricked it? :S

Any help is greatly appreciated!

HELP ME GUYS!!!

I just tried to restore the backup I made right before attempting the first installation of CM and it says "Error while restoring /system!".

For god, what did I just do?!?!?!

Bug/annoying feature

There is a quite annoying feature in CM7.1 that drops incoming calls when phone is in your pocket, I'm talking about "back" button. Sometimes by accident, I press the back capacitive button and then drop the call. Is there any chance to disable this function in our rom so only way to drop incoming call was a slide bar??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dfsramos:
I will.. please stick around so I don't feel "alone" :X
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] redbird88:
It happen to me too. Help please.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ilumur:
Oh, it's really drop the call when phone is in pocket. Tried right now. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
I might be wrong but based on the last few posts you made on this thread...

The question you had about the warning to make sure you mount the system partition first should have been followed up on.

In the modified CWM recovery menu, make sure it's the exact one from OP unless you know what your doing, you need to look for the mount section and do as directed on OP...and 2nd, and 3rd. (If yo do this now and reapply the same update it will more than likely be fine.) If you have mucked things up or made further changes I would backup everything before I do anything else using CWM recovery from these same menu sections on main menu and start from a clean but rooted stock ROM. (Save this on a PC and keep on SD if you have the room.)

Last thing to check is how much space do you have left on SD, internal? You can check the logs in CWM if you miss it scrolling by, which I've done myself for just this reason.

Please share...in/doing what if I may ask?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dfsramos:
Ok, so.. I backed up and tried to Install "px-cm7-KANG-RC-2.0.zip" by shoosing "Install zip from sd card". According to the onscreen information everything went wrong.

I then did a Reset factory settings and rebooted the phone.. It still hangs on the Booting screen.. "GALAXY Gio GT-S5660 .. SAMSUNG".

What's next?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
Go into recovery mode and mount the partitions. Mount all but the usb. (If you can't do one its because the partition is Ext3/4 and you have the wrong CWM installed or missing the upgrade/update on OP.)

Go back to the noted zip file and install again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dfsramos:
Did the following steps:

- Downloaded 'http://www.mediafire.com/?behv0qj0hrkr797' again

- Copied it to the SD Card root.

- Turned phone on (recovery mode)

- Mounted successfully /system, /data and /sdcard which were unmounted (/sd-ext failed to mount)

- Go to "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard"

- Selected the "px-cm7-KANG-RC-2.0.zip

- Confirmed installation

- Waited for it to install. (no issues were reported during installation)

- Went back to the main menu and selected "Reboot system"

- Been waiting for 5minutes and it's still stuck on boot screen

What do I do? :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
You need to be a bit more discriptive on "boot screen". Same as the one you got before or the cyan one this time. Either way hold down power until it reboots itself. About 20 sec.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dfsramos:
The same black as before, saying "GALAXY Gio GT-S5660 .. SAMSUNG"
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
I don't know if this feature has made it into release yet, but the nightlies (on Crespo a.k.a. Nexus S) for some time have had the possibility of revoking app permissions.

For example, you could prevent an app from accessing the internet, reading your contacts list and so on. This is done by going in "Manage applications" then clicking on an app, scroll down to its permissions list and tap on the different permissions to toggle revocation. The revoked permissions will be struck through like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dfsramos:
Also tried to reboot like you metioned, to no avail.. Still hanging on the same screen.. :S
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
Hmm... I'll assume you did the reboot first and its still the same again.

Reach out to one of the devs or support guys. In the off chance it is bricked I don't want to take you down further if it matters.

What I would do next with no other option would be to reboot into download mode and use ODIN to flash my rooted stock ROM, power off, remove SD and reboot. (Not sure if you are Ext2/3/4 so pull SD.)

But seek wiser than I on this...I've never bricked these models. Any device I have bricked I was able to bring back soon enough but I'm not you and I'm not advising it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dfsramos:
Thanks a lot for your help! Even though it didn't bring me to any solution it sure was enlighting and helpful to fill I wasn't alone. Should I need to use Odin to root a stock ROM, is it "fail proof"?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
Very cool. Skips the need for tools like LBE and/or Autostart, etc. Sounds like it resembles Titanium Backup when you uninstall but keep the backup. Look forward to seeing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dfsramos:
Also, where can I get the Stock ROM you talk about?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
NSA - No Such Animal ;c)

ODIN is just a tool to connect to the device directly to install/flash the software/OS on the chips. But it's the format that most of the stock/clean ROM files come in. It also flashes when everything else is off and you don't have to worry about mounting ot unmounting things. You simply write a few images and drivers over the entire existing system. Nice and clean. But a true brick does exist that will damage or wipe the area of the chips that you need to reboot into so you can't restore or flash...for example.

No problem. Just try to push through a bit more reading before diving in. That system folder mounting was exactly the right question...

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

You'll need to find that based on your own system. I have a GT-S5660M but use S5660 ROM so long as they have what I want and I can remove what i don't. Drivers for the WiFi/modem differ and I know of at least 5 models between countries...

Go back to some of the original threads and look for the one that had the collection of ROM files for all Gio's they have a link for most everything but the "M". Darkshado is who I got my original "M" items from.

Here are things you can do. Try to flash CWM recovery again (I guess you must have done that) .In CWM recovery wipe cache partition, Now goto Mounts and storage ,Format system , data and cache, last thing before flashing , goto advanced Wipe dalvik cache , wipe batter stats, now you can Flash CM 7.1 using CWM recovery. And don't forget to mount data , system and cache .

Good luck.

thanks, very nice useful application

highly recommend to others
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dfsramos:
First of all thanks everyone who helped. I managed to get it to work doing the following:

- Flash with Stock 2.3.3

- Root Android

- Installing CWM

- Mount every partition

- Data wipe

- Mount every partition again

Now, after this I first tried to install CM7-RC2, but after it installed I got stuck on BootLoop. So, I just started it all over:

- Flash with Stock 2.3.3

- Root Android

- Installing CWM

- Mount every partition

- Data wipe

- Mount every partition again

- Install CM-RC1

- Install Patch-1

- Install Patch-2

- Install RC2

- Wait 3 reboots and it's good.

This was the only way I got it to work. Thanks again for everyone who helped.

Now, I have a couple of issues I'd like some help with, again..

1 - Swype is not stock on this CM7. How can I install it? I searched in the market to no avail, does it have to be done in any other way?

2 - The main reason I rooted and installed CM7 was to be able to install all applications I can in the SD card instead of the Internal memory. I've heard of what I think are 2 different ways of doing this: Extending internal memory and installing to the sdcard itself. I'd like to go with the Internal Memory extension method. I'm aware I need to install a2sd Darkmatter. Where can I get this, and how do I install it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ilumur:
a2sd Darktremor is included to this ROM

just read the first post

there is the instruction how to enable this
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
for swype go to www.swype.com and download latest version. It works well.

for "a2sd Darkmatter" I can't help, because I never heard about such apps :D

but for a2sd Darktremor you should read the first and second post of this thread ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rahulmaxi01:
Or you can download A2SD GUI from market and enable A2SD in it and move the data to sd-ext.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ItachiSama:
Sorry to ask you, I've tried installing the ROM but it didn't work.

I flashed your CW recovery with iksteen one, then tried installing rom from modded CW but it didn't work. What have I to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Msiiek:
Phiezx i think i know the reason of rc2 bootloops. When a new user install cyanogen rc2 version it need to format data,cache and system to ext4. If you have ext4 before there is no problem to boot rc2 version. If you have rfs and try to install rc2 it will cause bootloop, stuck on galaxy gio logo. Reason is the rc2 version only format system to ext4, the data and cache will still be rfs and i think it is the issue.

Rc2 only format system to ext4, then if you want to get it working you must format others partitions to ext4 (for example install rc1 first).

I will be happy if someone understand it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] TeHashX:
Sounds

Hi, I managed to install this rom but I have issues with sound, when I receive a call is ringing just once and than the sound stops even if the call is still in the background. Maybe I modified some setting in "CyanogenMod settings" but I don't see nothing to reset to default values.

I had also the led blinking issue.

Thx for the great work...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] phiexz:
it shouldn't be a problem

wipe data/factory reset should make /data and /cache partition on ext4 if using cwm from this thread

but, i'm not tested it yet. that's only my opinion

~.~
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtrymind:
i dont know phiexz, but i had never sucesfully instal rc2 without instal rc1 first, i got bootloop if i install rc2 first... ~.~
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
I've been using Ext4 for a month or more, as soon as it was supported. I haven't had issues as others have but the only thing I ever noted that concerned me was that even the swap partition needs to be set as primary or it won't see it. If CWM doesn't mount a partition its probably not supporting Ext3/4....which is why I had buddy test that by mounting all partitions prior to running the zip update.

The only real question I haven't answered yet...due to time and priority...is that I noted the 512MB SWAP and 30GB SD FAT partitions are reported the right size in A2SD but out of the 1GB partition for Ext only 256MB seem to be used. In the past on other images/ROM it was reported the right size but graphically displayed wrong. Do you know if the 1GB is being used or only 256MB when moving apps to the SD? (Not sure if this is a image or A2SD issues.)

Regards

I wiped the phone with OP steps for clean install of RC2 and only had to reboot manually once or twice after waiting a few minutes. Worked fine after that...give or take a few apps/settings.

This happens to me more often than not when using non-"M" ROMs so I'm used to it. Never once worried about being bricked and have never had an issue returning to a clean/stock rooted image if things got too scrambled.

Flashing and mounting partitions is key. I do it always as default now. Can't ever hurt but will fail or screw things up if a partition is missing when needed.

Just my .02
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Msiiek:
But phiexz your cwm format to rfs if the file format in partitions was rfs.

I tried it this way: flashed by odin to latest 2.3.5 rom ks5, flash cwm, install your cwm, do a factory reset and then install rc2 - didnt boot. I think your cwm has added ext4 support, but it still supporting rfs. But when i had installed rc1 and then format cache,data,system,sd-ext >> install rc2 - it works. If i have all partition in rfs, formated by your cwm - i think it still be rfs not ext4.

Its my opinion :)

I'll try pocket sensor application. Maybe the issue is with the proximity sensor?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] krymzy:
call drops if u press back button

so the issue is prolly with "keybinds"

the cmw seems to do weird stuff. ive had to reintall everything because i "fixed" premissions in cwm

maybe the bootloop is caused by some rfs/ext4 bug? because ive seen many posts about it not properly converting to ext4

Everything looking good! Love Cyanogen!

This is what I did.

Flash CWM then RC2 & got the bootloop problem.

Went to recovery again only this time install RC1, followed by Addons 1, 2.2 & then RC2. Got stuck at the 'Galaxy Gio' part but eventually after few mins it went to the bootanimation & now is working fine! Flashed the video fix zip file & hardware video acceleration was solved!

Unfortunately, video recording not functioning. Sound recorder too not functioning. Having the LED problem too. Lol & it wasn't able to read my contacts from SIM card. Had to import to phone. Is there any way for it to read my contacts from SIM if I dont want to import to phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] melorib:
Installed new CWM, rebooted, did factory reset, installed RC2, wont boot, just stays at Gakaxy GIO screen... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
Since RC1 did boot, it seams reasonable to search differences between RC1 (Kang) and RC2 update file.

So, I have opened and compared the "META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" from both versions.

On the Kang version these two lines are present, but in RC2 are missing :

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl14");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl13");

So maybe that those lines are really necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] melorib:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
stl13 is "data" partition,

stl14 is "cache"

so probably on RC2 those two partitions were not formatted to ext4 , but kernel expected them to be ext4...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] melorib:
It worked, hope they fix the next releases... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ramabg:
Not really. Adobe has abandon Flash Mobile :). Thank you for your information.

I got boot loop if I directly flash my Gio to RC 2. Then I tried flash my Gio with RC 1, reboot, flash again with RC 2 and success.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
So, since the workaround is so simple, I suggest that phiexz to upload a fixed version of RC2 on the first post of the thread. And maybe to include the video fix too, since seems Ok for everybody.

and in the mean time, we should sum-up thing that still don't work/don't work as it should:

1. LED light (on RC1+updates I've hot no issues with led lights)

2. up/down volume keys change by default the Ringing volume; it happened to lose calls because ringing vol was on a lower value, even I remembered well that I set-it to maximum on Settings. On stock ROM, Media volume was changed by default.

3. call drops if u press back button

4. ??? my phone can not play .wav file by original music player

5. camera's sound cannot turn off (CM Settings "Mute camera shutter" does nothing)

6. sound of radio is so loud when i turn on (probably the gain is set too high); probably because of the same reason the noise on radio app is huge;

7. ??? the quiet hours didn't work

8. activating GPS in camera app will make-it unusable

9. video recording not working in all configurations

10. MIN and MAX CPU frequencies can't be set from CM settings menu

11. build.prop seems to be just a bunch of settings trowed there (ex: qemu.sf.lcd_density=160 appear 3 times)

12. let the default governor "ondemand" since i's the best compromise between battery life and performance.

13. let by default "noop" scheduler

14. let by default the Rotate button on the "Notification power widget"

15. I'm not convinced that ADW launcher is the best option...

things with ??? are not tested by me, so I don't know if the issues are for real.

Please increase the counter if you find any other issues, to be quicker to follow what has been solved
