If you still have access to your custom recovery then go to freeza's thread and download one of his Stock ROMs.

how would i put that on my sd card tho?

Take your sd card out and put it in a micro SD to SD adapter if your computer has a SD slot. B. Use another phone and put your SD card in that. C. Rule of thumb always make backup and if you did just go to restore and restore your saved ROM. D. Use Odin and restore that way YouTube a Qbking video about flashing threw Odin.

What is the version of CWM you are using?
Have you tried flashing a new or different recovery, like TWRP maybe?
What is the exact process you are using when the installation fails?
Go here and download TWRP 2.4.4.0 & CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 - place them on your external sd card via the above described method/s then try flashing the CWM recovery and then rebooting to recovery. Now try flashing a Stock ROM (make sure you're checking the MD5 to verify a good download) if that doesn't work then try the TWRP recovery, etc...

Try holding Volume Down, home, and the Power buttons. This will get you into download mode. Then Odin a stock TAR file using a method displayed in QBKing77's videos. Search around, you'll find something. If you're still unable to find anything after a while, give me about an hour and I'll help. Good luck!

[HELP] Phone bricked

Hello dear users of xda. I have a serious problem. My phone is bricked after installing Chainfire 3d driver on jellybean ( i forgot it will not work on JB)
So then i wanted to reflash the Jb MC8 but odin does'nt detect my phone ;(. Tried on 3 pc's tried reinstalling drivers, tried Heimdall still the same.
Recovery mode works, but i dont have a backup. (BTW i have stock recovery of JB MC8) Tried my friend's cable (she has ace 2 too) did'nt work. My flash counter is 2 so i am afraid i might even have to buy a new phone. Can anyone help???

Nice to know you are rooted..
Download Attached app Root Uninstall to remove system app (So called Blotwares)..
On the Top you will see System App/User App, tap it to switch between System or User Apps.. Then just tap on the apps you want to remove and press Uninstall on the bottom of the app..
There is also an option to backup the apps.
Don't Say, just PRESS Thanks <===============

My Note 2 stuck on Boot screen and not able to flash any ROM

My Note 2 got stuck on boot. Every time I switch it on, it gets stuck on boot screen showing "Samsung Note II". I tried Hard resetting it but of no use. I even tried to do update from SD Card and tried flashing Already downloaded CM 12.1 made by @Ivan_Meler 's latest build. I was having this build already in my phone for last 15 days and it was working fine.
But now I am not able to anything with it now. I even went to Sumsung service center but guys there told me that you have it custumized and hence we cant do anything on it now.
Now While trying to flash any zip update from SDcard1, it is throwing error like "E: Couldn't mount/ block device required"
Please somebody help me.
