I flashed from Juggernaut 3.65 to CM7. I noticed in the Android Market my device showed up as an HTC under the 'Maker' field. I thought I would flash back to the Stock ROM I have and completely unroot/restore to factory settings. I flashed it to the rom using ROM manager and now it won't boot. I can get to the Android recovery, so CWM is gone and I can still try to flash through ODIN but that doesn't seem to work either. Any thoughts?
I also tried reflashing from the UnRoot ROM using Android Recovery and it fails every time.
Thanks
Flash the stock rom rooted with cwr and the super user apk with Odin. Check the dev section.

I was able to flash the CWM recovery file through ODIN. I was then able to use CWM to restore back to the Juggernaut 3.65 but wouldn't let me flash back to stock, not that I'm complaining. It seems to be fully functional again. Thanks!

To unroot the phone what I usually do is after running the triangle away app, I do a complete wipe(all wipes on the phone from recovery) and flash the Stock ROM from the computer using Desktop Odin.
I was wondering what happens, if I have a stock unrooted phone, and I try flashing a custom ROM using desktop Odin?? WIll it work anyways or possibly brick the phone(or wont allow me to flash at all)?
The reason I ask is every thread talk abt flashing custom ROM's using custom recovery or mobile odin after rooting the phone.
Thanks
I also have a question I tryed to update my software on captivate glide att but I rooted my phone so I could not. Anyway I messed some things up reset the phone then I went to re install several apps and now my phone says device isn't compatible with this version when I just tryed to install from back up and it faild so I tryed from the market place and kept getting that error. Idk what to do.

Odin flashes TAR files, not ZIP files. You should only need Odin to flash stock.
You shouldn't need Triangle Away if you rooted following the instructions that can be found on these boards.
From what I understand, you cannot flash a custom rom without having CWM installed.
I could be wrong... I flashed Blazin ROM to my phone yesterday but then reverted back to
the backup (Nandroid) I had made prior. Playstore wouldn't work and I can't figure out what
gapps I need to get it going.
I agree with the guys above. In order to flash custom ROMs you'll need CWM installed to do so. Once you boot into recovery it should take you to CWM. From there, you can flash the zip files only.
I'm totally boggled here, I've never had problems like this. I've rooted my T-999, no problems there, but when I install CWM, either the non-touch or touch versions, it doesn't boot into that recovery. When you recovery boot, either manual or through ROM Manager, it just boots to the stock recovery. I've tried re-installing through ROM Manager and through Odin, to no avail. I'm pulling my hair out...help!
Just use the the root 66 method and then use goomanager to install twrp recovery. Did this process for my brothers S III last night over the phone.
I had the same problem before. Tried multiple ways but the cwm recovery will not stick, even though it appears working in Odin. Only way I got cwm recovery to install is by going back to an earlier version os.
You need to find an earlier version of factory stock jelly bean or better yet ics and flash it with Odin. Make sure it's a factory image. After that just root and install cwm recovery with Galaxy s3 toolkit. Then just install whatever rom you like.

Why do all that when you can flash the latest through ODIN; and get the correct partition tables setup, and that has root, and then install the recovery via an app? Seems more logical to me.

I was not aware you can install the recovery through an app. I'm not familiar with the process so maybe you can talk the op through it.
When I had my problem with the cwm recovery not sticking from Odin, it was when the jelly bean update was just release for T-Mobile. Just letting the op know that I had the same problem and how I got it working.

Okay I thought I was missing something. Ya the new update surprised me as well last night with ODIN not working to flash a recovery. It's available in CWM app ROM manager I prefer TWRP though which is available in GooManager via menu>Install OpenRecoveryScript>yes> so long as it says "2.4.1.0" and "D2TMO" then yes and boot recovery to install from there.
I followed mt3g's advice and did the root66 method and then installed via ROM Manager and I had success. Flashing a new ROM now. Thanks!
Cool bro.
As the title says, i need a fix to fix my broken stock recovery. Running stock rom UBNG3. I found a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932327 but its a fix for Galaxy Note. Don't know whether this could be flashed on my phone. Although I think that if the above fix is flashable it could solve the gallery app bug but don't know for sure.
Let me explain the whole story. Back in the days when 4.2.2 rom was leaked i flashed it and then flashed the official 4.2.2 rom but since then my recovery is broken. I did not care about it until now when i wanted to root my phone. Flashed cwm recovery a number of times but kept booting into stock. An option in the rooting guide suggested to re flash the whole rom but setting up the phone again is not an option for me. Its just a big pain. What i want is a fix to fix the broken recovery so that when i flash cwm, it actually shows up.
Thanx for any help anyone could provide.

From 4.2.2 you need to flash ur recovery using ODIN.

Use ODIN to flash CWM Recovery

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T and for about a year and a half always wanted to root it but had no idea how. I had an iPhone a while back and used to jailbreak it I became an expert at it. Rooting is not so easy compared at least with the problems I've been experiencing
I started by watching hundreds of root videos and ended up rooting it with Odin and Kit Kat tar file im not sure of the specific file but I'm almost 100% it was my version 4.4.2 that I flashed.
After I did this I downloaded the basics and tried to get TWRP but gooManager wasnt working for some reason.
I tried to flash the Cyanongen 11 onto my phone using the installer for the comp and on google play store and it worked up until the end I got the dead droid symbol for a bit and it finished downloading to show the "ROM may flash stock recover on boot. Fix?" error message and I selected no and "Root Access Possibly Lost Fix?" I also selected no. My phone booted with no custom rom still rooted and most of my apps are unresponsive and close randomly except facebook and youtube.
I decided I wanted to return it to stock rom and try again but when I downloaded the stock tar file and tried to flash it I got this
I'm not sure what to do because I cant return it to stock rom, clockmod recovery has stopped working, and every video I watch about how to fix it is only making it worse.
If you have any idea what I can do or what I'm doing wrong let me know.
Odin failed because you cannot flash older firmware. Your best bet is to reflash recovery via Odin, then if you want stock go to enewman17's stock rom/system dump thread in development and flash the rom and factory reset.

I tried to flash cwm recovery onto my phone usb debugging selected and now odin doesnt even show that my phones recognized. This is so frustrating.
I suggest installing Philz Touch recovery via Odin and using Philz to flash a custom ROM to at least get your phone up and running.

If Kies is on your computer, remove it. Have you tried reinstalling drivers?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Trying to update my old E4GT to KitKat (CM11) for use as an MP3 player. I believe it was on OI23 before. I tried EL26 CWM, Agat, and finally attempted installing Philz Touch before it gave up this screen. Kies cannot connect to it, even after making sure proper drivers are installed and doing the connection troubleshooter.
Am I screwed? Did I encounter the infamous "superbrick"?

You should still be able to flash stock firmware via Odin in that state. Connect it and flash, provided that the battery is charged.

Ok I've gotten ODIN to recognize it again. Now how can I get to CM11? My biggest problem is finding a recovery that will work to flash it.
Here is a stock rooted ROM for d710 with CWM included in it, flash it via Odin and you'll be restored, rooted and have CWM.
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S2%20%28Sprint%29%20%28SPH-D710%29/Stock%20ROMs/GB/EL29/No%20Data%20Restore/Rooted
Then you'll need to flash an ICS modem or you won't be able to use Kit Kat custom ROMS(CM11), it is a .zip to be flashed in recovery the way a ROM is. Scroll to the bottom of the list and grab the last one. Flash it in recovery.
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S2 (Sprint) (SPH-D710)/Modems/ICS/ZIP
Then you'll need to find a 4.3 custom ROM to flash to update the devices partition structure before flashing a 4.4+(CM11) ROM. The trick is going to be finding 4.3 and 4.4 ROMs, they are old ROMs and may not be available for download anymore. I'm trying to get the CWM that I used uploaded so you can use it, it flashed all of my 4.4 - 4.4.4 ROMs. I flashed everything with it. It's CWM 5.0.2.7 for sph-d710.

You flashed the file I linked? It is supposed to have CWM packaged with it. Go to rwilco12's android repository, at the top of the page you'll see a downloads tab. Click it then select the options on that menu until you get to Galaxy S2>Sprint SPH-D710>kernels and you'll find the Odin flashable recoveries for E4GT.

I had an AGAT GB27 v1.3 from rwilco that I flashed to get a custom recovery, just flashed the FL24 modem with it. So I have EL29 software with FL24 modem. Ready to flash something newer now.

To get to Kit Kat, you've got to flash a 4.3 ROM then flash a 4.4 ROM. I'm not sure where you'll find one or if their are any available anymore.
There is CWM 5 or CWM 6 at rwilcos repository, its probably better than Agats

I have a CWM 5.0.2.7 in zip that I'm trying to upload to my Android File Host for you but its giving me issues uploading. I'll find a place to put it so you can get it, then flash it in Agat recovery.
Flash Agat recovery again, then flash the CWM I give you in Agat, then go back to main menu and find the "reboot recovery" option somewhere, I can't remember where its at in Agat, reboot recovery will boot you into the new recovery, do not boot to system then boot to recovery, it will revert to Agat and you'll have to flash CWM again and boot to it correctly to keep it.
