You flash the first time the phone gives you a warning.

The second time, the phone reboot it self and stick on semaphore logo, you have to take off the battery and wait a moment.

Put the battery back and reboot using the 3 comb button to get into recovery, the phone will take some minutes to get in, if it doesn't repeat the last step until you get into recovery. It worked for me, just be patiente :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SpoonyAU:
Thanks for a great rom guys. Super smooth and absolutely zero complaints from me :good::good::good: I give it three thumbs up :laugh:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
If you can't manage to get into recovery with bazttery out, holding combo while putting battery in ,you can flash semaphore 2.2.0s.tar from semaphore.gr via odin.

Thank you. I had to wait several minutes but finally the phone went into recovery and I could flash the zip. I will give my feedback tomorrow

Already many thanks to the developpers.

Hi

I hate to moan seeing these roms are free and hard work goes into them. But i thought seeing a new update has been released. i would backup my phone and update it.

For the second time in a just over a month, backing up my phone in cwm has not backed it up but completely wiped it again.

Can anyone tell me why this has happened. i love custom roms but if everytime i want to backup my phone it completely wipes it. might as well not bother.

I know problems do popup but running a backup that does the opposite and distroys all the data. is a bit much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tortureduck:
I am regularly backing up my phone and had no problems what exactly happened?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thompson2009:
Just went into cwm and selected backup. it ran as normal rebooted. it wiped my phone completely. second time it' happened. crazy.

Would be nice to know why it's happened. if there is something wrong with my phone maybe. don't know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HarpingOn:
One tripple flash later, and I'm running on 2.6, thanks Slim Team :)

The increase in /data is handy, although I took the opportunity at 2.4 to slim down my app load.

Three flashes and a TiBu restore, took me about 15 minutes. Super stuff.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thompson2009:
which kernel do i need cant get my phone to boot at all now. not even into recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mongopusher42:
One question: if i install 2.6, will my device always be wiped after every update?:eek: Been lurking on this thread since the first releases, but havnt installed cause i just got an good music equalizer working , and it doesnt quite yet have support JB.. :/ Think i will still stay in the shadows until a few more releases. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] daerragh:
Flashing Slim Bean 2.6 from 2.5 gave me a few problems. The installer couldn't format /system and /data (displayed some error massages when it was about to format those partitions) and I think it just messed these partitions up because I was unable to format them manually either. I had to flash stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 JVU via Odin 1.3 with repartition option, then Chainfire's modified JVU kernel (with CWM) and then straight to Slim Bean 2.6 and it's working now.

Thanks for the ROM guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tobiasth:
no, this is only because of the new partition layout.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tobiasth:
if you are on v2.6 you only can use semaphore 2.2.0 or devil 1.6.0, all others are not working ...

if you are on v2.5 or less, you only can flash semaphore 2.1.0/2.0.6

if you are on v2.5v, you only can flash semaphore 2.1.2

you can still flash a kernel via odin

so, what are you using now?

Hi. I'm on Slim 2.6 and Devil 1.6.1.

On 2.5 I could fix permissions in Devil's CWM/Advanced menu IN ORDER TO to get "CPU Governor" field in NSTools working again, so I couls change governors straight from NSTools. On Slim 2.6 fixing permissions in CWM doesn't make the field working - it says in NSTools that "Governor" is "not available".

Does anyone know how to make NSTools fully working again, so I can change CPU governors in it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tobiasth:
you could try devil kernel ... or flash fix_recovery.tar via Odin and flash semaphore again ... you can find it via google or xda ...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thompson2009:
what happened. hopefully someone will have an answer.

running slimbean 2.5 been working fine no problems. ran a backup today in cwm. selected reboot and phone would not boot at all.

It would not go into recovery at all. Tried installing several different versions of semephore with odin no joy. installed devil kernel went straight into recovery.

installed slimbean 2.5 then reboot into recovery which had gone back to semephore. restored from backup which worked.

Why would doing a backup wreak the semephore kernel and the only way could get phone back was to install devil kernel.

weird.

cheers.

Coming from gb, if you flash latest cm10 before (the one with the latest partition layout) there is no need for the 3 flashes of slim, just one does the trick! :).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] olarf:
I was on slim and other ICS and actually im on JB. I tried some and for me the good JB Roms (i check gnexus and slim and use helly bean now) are smoother and more stable then ICS roms was. Give it a try, what can you loose? Maybe 2 or 3 hours of your life for wipeing and recovering apps :)

for everyone with random reboots, try moving your apps back to the phone, if you have some at the sd card.

with the new partition layout you have enough space. after moving, delete dalvik cache ...
