OK, I am a total noob.
I flashed the zedomax kernal with odin and now I am stuck in a boot loop. I tried using odin to flash the stock kernal, but that ends in a boot loop as well.
How can I fix this? I can get into clockwork recovery and odin download mode, but thats it.
Sorry if this has been answered, i searched but couldnt find any specifics on what i need to do.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
boot into recovery...hook your phone to your computer...in recovery click mounts and sorage...mount usb storage...on your computer click open folder to view files...place a rom in there...once its done...click unmount on your phone...click back to main screen in recovery...click wipe data/factory reset...click wipe cache...click advanced...wipe dalvik cache...click back to main screen in recovery...click install zip from sdcard...find the rom in there and click it and install it...done.

Flash stock rom tar through odin link in dev section
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I flashed CWM via Odin and rebooted into Recovery Mode, but there is no option to flash a mod or tar from internal storage. I have 5 options in my CWM menu and they are as follows.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I have the mods loaded on the root of my internal storage, but CWM wont let me get to them.
I tried flashing a stock recovery via Odin, failed.
I can turn on my phone and it works just fine, but I cannot get CWM to let me root the phone.
Any help?

Are you sure you flashd clockwork mod and not stock? It sounds like stock recovery is what you have. try flashing this in
Odin https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM-6.0.1.2/recovery.tar.md5
Sounds like stock recovery to me not clockwork recovery

This kind of happened to me, I have rooted plenty of devices prior to my SG3 and with CWM flashed through Odin 3.04 (Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time) checked. Everything passed as it should have and phone reboots normally. Upon powering down i went into recovery finding the stock recovery still there, NOT CWM's recovery.
Doing some research I found that if you check ONLY F. Reset Time and NOT Auto Reboot you will flash the device with a PASS and then the Download mode screen will stay on the device. Making sure that you have the USB cable removed at this point remove the battery. Replace the battery and reboot into recovery mode and you will see that your phone goes into Clockworkmod Recovery! BUT you only get this once, you have to repeat the steps using ODIN to flash CWM every time you want to use it, what a pain in the butt, especially if you do not have Triangle Away. I belive this is because of the new OTA update from Sprint (so I've heard).
Now i have the same kind of issue because apparently when i run CWM's ROM manager it says i have no CWM recovery installed after i have done it counless times.
Has anyone ran into this use as well? OP is this kind of the same issue you have? at the top of your Recovery screen it will tell you clear as day if you are using the stock recovery or CWM.
I say take the guessing out of it...Use TWRP

So I woke up this morning and I was running CM10, goo manager told me I had an update so I applied the update and low and behold it was CM9 on boot. Needless to say CM9 would not boot because nothing was wiped. So I decided to go back and re-flash 10 (CWM touch). So wiped and it said could not mount user data. after re-flashing it again would not boot. so I downloaded odin3 and the stock sprint rom and tried flashing that. No dice Odin screen gets stuck on "Erasing userdata.." for like 10 minutes, after it gets past the sprint LTE animation and get stuck booting in the glowing samsung screen. Also I cannot mount /SDcard in recovery but i can mount the external. I also cannot adb to the device. any Ideas????

Sounds like odin flash is a success. When in recovery, can you wipe data/factory reset without error? That is a MUST after the odin flash. So boot into recovery and wipe

No dice. The default android recovery was put back from the stock odin re-flash, it comes up with "ERROR unable to mount /Userdata.." "Cannot Find /Userdata.."

Assuming you haven't already tried. See if a custom recovery can wipe or mount it. try to factory reset with TWRP (attched odin flash) and report back

I think My stock image was bad I re-downloaded one and ran ODIN again and it worked.
I'm stuck on logo boot screen. I believe the problem is because I formatted the root partition of phone.
I can get into to download mode and install stock firmware. I can also install recovery like TWRP, OUDHS or CWM
I can't do factory reset b/c phone can't mount /data. It can't format /sdcard either
Any ideas? I'm thinking I need the pit file to restore the partition table but having trouble locating one
This happened before with my Galaxy Player and I was able to restore with stock firmware & pit

It kinda worked. I could boot into now but if I restart it gets stuck at logo unless I go into recovery wipe data, factory reset then install rom

I figured it out. Instead of factory reset with TWRP or CWM I tried with stock Samsung recovery
I Odin stock recovery. Sorry I forgot where I download it from but it was in one of these threads
(1) Put in download mode. Then Odin stock firmware (everything unchecked)
(2) Unplug USB cable & pull battery. Boot into recovery (vol up + power). It took a few tries to do this
(3) Factory reset & wipe data
(4) Reboot
Hope this helps anyone else with same problem
Hi this is a long post so I will highly appreciate it if anyone helps me even after reading this.
I was on xperia z-ized v3.4 (based on android 4.3) with mj5 as the bootloader. I was tired of that rom and wanted to try dn3 rom and downloaded the zip as well but the OP of the rom thread said that twrp recovery is recommended over cwm. So I went to thread given in the page which showed me how to flash twrp. It was just download the zip and flash it in recovery, which is exactly what I did. Now ever since then I am not able to turn on my phone, nor does it go to recovery, it just goes into download mode which made me change my decision. Now I am thinking to downgrade back to 4.1.2 and I will try dn3 rom later on. I downloaded the firmware from sammobile but just wanted to ask that given my previous firmwares and flashes, is it safe to flash or will I risk bricking my phone.
Thanks for reading this and please help me out if you can

Well if you still want to try DN3 ROM you can flash philz recovery tar.md5 via odin and then once you boot into recovery you can get twrp zip file that you downloaded previously and flash twrp over philz.That's what i do when i switch recoveries.I never used CWM except when i was on 4.1.2 but once i rooted my phone the same day i switched to philz.If you don't want to try dn3 at the moment yes you can go back 4.1.2 since you are on mj5 bootloader which makes downgrading back to 4.1.2 possible.I'm giving you links below for philz tar.md5 and instructions on how to flash it via odin incase you change your mind.
philz tar.md5
Put your phone into download mode,open odin on pc,uncheck auto reboot in odin,dont touch anything else,connect phone to pc,wait for port ID to lit up and be blue.Select the AP/PDA tab and navigate to flash this downloaded philz tar file.Click start and you are done.Exit odin on pc.Pull battery out your phone.Wait a minute then put it back in and manually enter recovery mode your newly flashed philz recovery will load.Now go and install twrp recovery zip file and select "reboot recovery" in philz advanced options.Your twrp recovery will load.Do all the wipes in twrp by going under advanced wipe (dont wipe external sd and otg) this will fully wipe your internal phone memory clean then go back to main menu and flash DN3.Enjoy.

Well try other 4.4.2 custom TW rom,dn3 isn't the only ROM available on xda for our note II.Look around and I am sure you'll find something that suits you.

Actually to be honest I want to go back to stock but I odin shows fail, so is there any workaround for that.
PS: even dn3 doesn't boot up now after flashing. Stuck on the note II logo. Tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and factory reset but to no avail

Well which recovery are you using now?TWRP?Do you have a back up of any ROM? I suggest go under advanced wipe and wipe everything except external sd card and otg.This will fully wipe your phone.Other suggestion is flashing stock 4.4.2 ROM and then trying custom ROM.

Tried whatever you said just now, still not booting up. I am on philz recovery and I did not take any backup. I only have stock 4.1.2 rom which is not getting flashed via odin and I cannot download stock 4.4.2 because my internet connection is slow..
what should I do?
