Can someone answer a question regarding jellybean?

I installed this yesterday jb-takju.zip. I was originally on cm9 rc1. In the process I managed to wipe my entire directory, nandroid backups included. I tried to get cwm back via fastboot and was able to then flashed CWM-SuperSU-v0.89.zip to get root right after. Now besides losing all my data, I cant keep the cwm touch recovery on, it keeps going back to the default recovery screen when I try to boot into recovery from rom manager. So at this point I'm baffled, not used to not have an sd card.
How can I have avoided this? How does titanium backup work with dropbox I couldnt get that set up. Also should I be flashing a different version of JB?

I didn't loose all any data on sdcard but was losing car. I ended up using the xbigie version. That was decided,rooted....

You must mean the virtual sdcard which I dont even see in my directories.

Can anyone tell me why I keep losing cwm touch recovery at least? lol
Should I just flash a different jellybean rom .zip?

Not acceptable, I already lost all my nandroid backups so I might as well use available JBs and start fresh

You're losing your cust recovery because there is a script you need to delete that auto installs default recovery on every reboot. It should be named the same as it was in ICS when the phone first came out. I'm look for the exact name now unless someone beats me to it.
Edit: /system/recovery-from-boot.p is the file. Rename or delete. Then it should stop reloading stock recovery. Just make sure you have CWM installed already and you're good to go.

[Q] How to go from 4.0.3 Jedi Mind Trick to Cyanogenmod 10.0.0 Stable Release

Hello all just bought a new Samsung Galaxy SII from craigslist already rooted with 4.0.3 Jedi Mind Trick. After reading for what seems 4-5 hours i have been trying to put together how to properly without bricking switching it to 10.0.0 Stable as i use to use Cyanogenmod 2-3 years ago on my devices. Seem alot of things have changed and there is a cluster**** of stuff out there now. If you could direct me to a how to or show me how to do it i would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks all!

Assuming you have nothing personal to back up that you can't just download from google play or your google account again: download cyanogen 10 and it's gapps. reboot into recovery mode. factory reset, wipe data, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. pick the install zip from sd card or so option, browse to cyanogen, then install gapps the same way. wipe dalvik again and reboot.

I was thinking of doing this myself JMT to CM10. I didn't think there was anything special to do same as flashing from any other ROM to CM10. If there is a special requirement I would think they'd post in in with the ROM post information.

so I attempted to install it and got stuck on the boot logo for 20 minutes or so. So I bricked it lol... Anyway I just flashed it with Odin to 2.3.5 but the link to download file for root capabilities is broken. What can i do? Do i have to go to ics first before i reattempt to go to 10.0.0?

honestly - i backed up everything to my external and then formatted the internal when i went from TW to AOSP for the last time. well worth it. nice folder clean up and then you can just manually take all the stuff you want back.
and you should just be able to odin on cwm or twrp - then flash the rom of your choice.

If you get stuck at the boot logo, it's called a soft brick. You don't have to use ODIN or go back to ICS. Just make sure the ROM zip you downloaded isn't corrupt (check the size/m5d if possible), wipe everything, and reboot into recovery to try installing again.

You won't fail. Follow the guidelines step by step. Print it out, make notes. Anything. Read. The step by step guide works... that'll get you with cwm. Then, you can flash the zip you will put on your phone... either a SU zip or just a rooted ROM. Follow flashing instructions.
Just realized - you'll be way better off if, once you have cwm on, just format the internal ONCE YOU HAVE A ROM ON AN EXTERNAL SD CARD. then flash CM10. THEN you'll have a fresh AOSP install.

Update your recovery to twrp or cwm 6+ and don't use dark side scripts
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Please excuse my harshness but this is not as hard as many make it seem. I would say if it takes you more than a couple attempts maybe it is just not for you. I only say this because I would hate to see you mess up your phone. Now if you think a bootloop is a brick then we need to do things at a slower pace with you.
If you already have your phone rooted then
1.download goomanager from the playstore and then
2.open it up and allow it to grant permission from CM
3.hit menu button while goo manager is open
4.click on install OpenRecoveryScript
5.let it do its thing
6.reboot into your new TWRP recovery
7.Wipe/Data Factory Reset
8.Flash Rom
9.Flash Gapps
10.Reboot
You can throw in a backup of files somewhere in there if you like.... Your choice

I had a bootloop when using CWM v6.0.1.5. So a friend of mine told me he had success with CWM v6.0.1.5 Touch. So I switched to the touch recovery and... SUCCESS.
Here's the link to CWM touch and non-touch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893464

A boot loop could mean a bad download or bad flash but it is most definitely NOT a bricked device. All you needed to do was get a fresh download and move it to your SD card by mounting it in recovery. Then, wipe EVERYTHING but the SD. EVERYTHING. Then flash the ROM, Gapps and whatever radio. I go from CM to AOKP to other random TW roms all the time and never have issues.

The 2 best recoveries are twrp or my favorite because I'm used to it is cwm 6.0.1.5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844637
Also if your phone boot loops don't freak out' just either reboot to see if that works out first and if not reboot into recovery. Also with these new recoveries do not use dark side scripts.
Factory reset
Format system
Format cache
Format data
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot and enjoy

Sorry for the necro on the thread, but I didn't want it to be stated I didn't look around some either.
I am going from JMT to CM and want to make sure it's as seamless as possible. I use CWM and usually usually use darkside complete wipes, but I read in a previous post not to use darkside. Is there a reason for this? I can't see why this wouldn't work as it's just a wipe.
Also I use Titanium Backup. Is it possible to backup my apps and data and restore them since its not TW any longer? I want to be able to restore as much of my data as possible and make sure I don't lose it.
P.S. - If thread necroing is not appreciated, I apologize.

What happened?! Help please

I was installing a 4.2 build along with 4.2 gapps.. Something was funky so I wanted to re-do it. When I went to flash the zip from internal sd card, it wasn't there. Nothing is there. All my backups are gone as well. I tried to restore, and it says it can't find any files. I can get into recovery mode, but I have no clue what to do from here?!
Please help!
Thanks

odin back to stock once that is done reboot into recovery and factory reset then start over this happened because your recovery is outdated

Yes, there are 3 files when I go to choose zip from internal sdcard... They are:
0/
legacy/
obb/

if i remember right 4.2 moved all your files to 0 because of multi-user support thats where all your files are if you can move them back you should be able to get to your backup

Ahh okay. I found the zips to reflash 4.2 so I'm just going to do that. Didn't see any of my backups though? Are those somewhere else?

not sure exactly have not used 4.2 yet just read up on it do a search in the thread you got the rom in and you will find a answer

I'll try looking. Because I have to restore. None of my stuff from Titanium Backup is there anymore. All my stuff is gone, except pictures, those stayed.

alright good luck

Does anyone know if the backups are somewhere else? Or are they basically gone? Can't find anything

glad you got it fixed

DId I brick it?

I can't get the system to boot up after flashing the Wicked rom. It booted only once but now I am stuck at the Galaxy S4 logo screen at start up. I have tried flashing to another rom but still its not working. It stays stuck at the Galaxy S4 logo. I have done a clean wipe too just to make sure. Any suggestions on fixing this. The recovery I am using is TWRP. I tried clockwork mod but it does not mount my SD card.

Are you using a 64GB sd card in exFAT format? If so try booting without the sd card. If that don't work you might need to Odin back to stock. Using stock recovery wipe data and start over again.
Also what version of TWRP are you using?
I recommend Philz CWM version as TWRP gave me trouble when using with Aroma installer.

Didn't work. The philz does not even boot into the recovery at all. It just sits at the logo with recovery booting blue text at the top left. Basically at this point I could go back to stock just to have something usuable at this point.

Alright, no need to worry bud, as long as it turns on, you're good, ha.
If you want to go back to pure stock, flash this via ODIN: http://hotfile.com/dl/213546261/7ab...-SGH-M919-TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131.zip.html
It is the full stock firmware.
You can follow my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31890391&postcount=2
But instead of downloading the file in step 1, download the one I listed above.

I had trouble using twrp also, im currently running wicked 6.1 without any issues but here's what I did when I was stuck installing. I went back and cleared data factory reset, and cleared cash then went to my nandroid back up and reinstalled backup. Then I went and downloaded cwm touch recovery installed, then I wipe data factory reset and reinstalled the rom wicked and it worked. Booted up just fine with different recovery. I was having other issues with twrp so cwm worked well. Hope this helps.

Why anyone uses TWRP boggles my mind. CWM official is all you need ^_^

Unable to Flash any ROM

Hello all,
I haven't had this issue before, which is odd, because I have been using the same rooting techniques/rom/cwm/phone for a while, and former tech support employee. I simply can not install any rom. After it installs, it reboots and either stays on the samsung screen or sits on the samsung screen for a while and then goes back to cwm. I have tried reformatting my sd card. I have successfully used odin back to 2.1, upgrade to 2.2, root using one click (I have never tried to root on 2.3). Then upgrade cwm to 5.0.2.7 and the problem starts all over again. Any ideas? Please and thank you.

Have you tried using odin to load the pre rooted stock rom found here on the epic4g forum somewhere? From there, you can boot into CWM and install any rom you want. CWM will automatically be upgraded with the rom you install.
Formatting your sd wont do anything for you. I think the problem you are having is trying to install cwm using one click. One of the newer OTA releases over-writes this and puts back the stock sprint recovery.

Have you tried following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006687?

So I am still having a problem. Today I received my replacement device from Sprint. Exact same issue.
Originally the ROM was installed on my device, and I was getting some force close errors, so I ran "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and reinstalled the ROM. It just sits on the Samsung logo for a while and then boots back to CWM.
So here we are again.
I ODIN flashed to Android 2.1, OTA update to 2.2, OneClickRootCWM3.1.0.1-EC05.zip to root, install CWM v. 5.0.2.7, and wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and install the ROM and stuck on Samsung logo again. I am going to cry. I need my hotspot back and all my custom stuff.
What on earth am I doing wrong?

I know one click has an old (green) version of cwm but I update it via a zip file afterwords. I have tried to install the ROM before updating CWM as well.
I am starting to recall there were different version of Froyo e.g. DK28 and EC05 but I don't understand what my issue is because right now my device is sitting on CWM 5.0.2.7 and it actually goes through the installation procedure it just doesn't boot to it post installation.
