reboot recovery, factory reset, cache, dalvik (sometimes my bf tells me to do battery stats, boot, and of course cache) then i install the zip from my sd, let it do its thing, then reboot. works fine everytime. Im on CWM 5.0.2.2, but i never see any of the devs say "Hey you have to be on (whatever) for this to work properly.
PS your gonna be a life saver

HAHAHAHA I meant "(whatever)" to be CWM

Whats some stuff you look for in the zip? Teach me teacher....lol

Only thing I can think of is your not using amon ra. CWM is known to not wipe correctly and can lead to problems
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

this is what someone else told me to do, (i copied and pasted it) think hes right?
"Ok. I suggest using Rom manager to switch to amon ra recovery. Once you've done that, do a complete wipe ... Including cache, dalvik, boot, data, and system. Flash Rom. Allow 5 mins after initially screens before downloading apps and making changes. This allows the Rom to settle. After you've done that, you can move on with your setup. I would suggest staying away from Rom Manager, you won't need it.
MikG is the replacement to MikFroyo. I've never heard of a MikFroyo 5.x"

I AM TELLING OU I AM NOT USING THAT RAEMON NOODLE OR WHATEVER ITS CALLED I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT AND WONT DO IT...LOL

Well then fml. I trust your judgement, ive seen your posts etc...now i have a stupid question, wtf is amon ra? I looked on the market. Found 4. Which one is it, and then what should i do from there? Follow this dudes instructions?

Rom manager to switch to ra is right. But I prefer to do it manually. But the letting the rom 'settle' is dumb IMHO roms shouldnt have to settle only kernels do

got ya covered, let you know what happens.!! thank you so much!!!!!

Flash amon_RA style supersonic recovery v3.08 found in Dev section thru hboot, vol- and power while phone is off, first download the one with PC36IMG.zip in the name move it to the root of your SD card delete all of the name except PC36IMG.zip make sure there no extra .zip extension now boot to hboot(bootloader) by either powering off the phone or a battery pull the hold vol- and press and hold the power button holding both until the white hboot screen opens. Follow instructions to update recovery (volume up) then don't reboot when asked (volume down) now select recovery and press power to boot into recovery. Go to wipe and wipe everything from factory reset/data wipe all the way down to dalvik-cache, repeat atleast 3 times for each option then hit the back capacitive key to return to main menu (search key/magnifying glass works as the power button does) go to flash zip, navigate to your rom zip and select it, press the search key and then press it again to start the update, when finished updating press back button, go to reboot and press the search key wait til the rom boots, should now work without issue as long as your download is ok, if you are backing up apps in titanium backup restore the app only and no data restoring data can cause bootloops/random reboots after the app restore

ROM manager stuck?

I'm flashing a new ROM on my wife's Dinc, and I go into recovery mode through ROM manager and when I try to do anything, I only get the ROM manager logo in the center of the screen. I can back up to the main menu, but in order to reboot the phone I have to pull the battery. I would just flash the ROM through ROM manager, but I need to flash the ROM, and the gapps also. I don't think it will let me do both, plus I like to wipe everything myself before I flash. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Am I bricked?

I have Team Venom's JellyBombed Ver 13. I did a battery pull to swap batteries and ever since I cannot boot, not even into recovery. When I boot I get the Samsung, then the Samsung Galaxy 3 logos but then screen goes black except for the soft menu and back keys on the bottom which are illuminated.
Please help.

I don't think that you bricked your phone, from what I understand and I could be wrong but long as it boots to your splash screen you aren't bricked. I would check the battery contact pins if your swapping battery's your increasing the potential of damage occurring . or even the batteries themselves. I don't think its a software issue. You can try Odin if you have it. Odin should be able to read the com port without the battery in the phone..if it can read it you can go foward and install a deoxdex rooted stk. Odin flashable tar. And start over ...good luck. , Hope this helps

Damn I got into cwm recovery and tried to do a wipe data/factory reset.... it immediately displayed a green android with the blue thing spinning - it seems to be hanging - afraid to pull battery and try again....

Have you tried other cwm functions.? Or maybe a nandroid restore?

I can't believe I did not think to try that - nandroid restore - trying a restore...... damn memory lapse
My most recent pre issue nandroid backup is a little old... a little over a month but I did a Titanium backup more recent so hopefully if I get things going I can restore from there....
Thanks.

Just go to download mode (volume down home and power buttons at the same time) and use odin go to stock

I'm going to have to agree with this your best option is to plug into your computer and flash to stock from Odin. Usually the phone is not completely bricked unless it's totally unresponsive. I recently bricked one my self ... The only time you need to worry if you can't get to a splash screen, can't boot into recovery or download mode mine was totally done when I plug it in it wouldn't even charge for sure charge indicator and when you push the power button there was no vibration to indicate it was starting.

Maybe the NFC of the baterry is bad and if the phone is trying to "read" it you may be stuck on boot. Replace the battery again.
Sent from my SPH-L710

Thanks for everyone that offered suggestions.
Fortunately, I was able to boot into recovery, restore an old android nandroid, wipe, flash Jellybomb, and then use titanium to selectively restore from the post corruption Nandroid I was able to make. I lost some data but Im back and running.
I think I have an aftermarket battery that is bad too.

[Q] Trouble rooting SGH-T999

I'm absolutely confused with how to root my SGH-T999 properly. I know I'm suppose to use the search function and read everything and anything before I post a thread, but I'm seriously overwhelmed with what's what.
So far, I'm trying to follow this guide, but when I go check the md5, it says it's not a match between the file I downloaded and the md5 # on the download page. I figured that since my phone is 4.1.1, I should use this image, but again, I try to check the md5 sums, but it comes out as not a match.
So I'm super paranoid that I might mess something up and brick my phone.

I'm betting you checked the md5 after extracting it. The md5 on the download page is for the file exactly as you downloaded it.
You don't have to worry about an update 'path'. You can get the latest and flash it as per the instructions.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium

Oh thank god. Yeah, I was checking the extracted file. Thanks for clearing that up.
One more question: Let's say I want to use CyanogenMod 10. Once I've rooted my phone with this method, I could get ClockworkMod recovery (via ROM Manager from the app store) and download the CM10 mod and install the CM10 that way?

Yes. Make sure you follow all the flashing instructions from the thread. You could also install goo manager and install TWRP and find roms through there as well

Yeah, you can use TWRP or CWM to flash roms. It's preference. You don't HAVE to have CWM to flash CM10.
I never used TWRP, but I'm absolutely content with CWM. Hasn't failed me once. Don't fix what's not broken, right?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Alright ****. I think I messed something up.
I installed ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. I then went through the options of rebooting it and installing. But now it's stuck at a spinning circle with "CyanogenMod" in the center. I have no idea what to do or how to get out of it. I've tried forcing it to power down by holding down the power button or doing the three button press (volume down, home and power), but either way, it just shuts down, vibrates a little and reboots itself back to the spinning logo screen.
EDIT: Ok so I've pulled the battery and went into recovery mode. Then I "wiped data/factory reset" and I think I got it to work now. It seems to be at the CM10 home screen now

Pull the battery. Once the screen is black. Put the battery back and boot into recovery(Vol up, home, and power).
When you installed CM10, did you factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?

Yeah. That's exactly what I did. Pulled the battery, put it back in, factory rest and wiped data. I'm not sure about the dalvik cache though. Once I got to the ClockworkMod recovery mode/screen, I just went to the "wipe data/factory reset option"

[Q] get to TWRP from a wiped device

Hi All,
I tried to flash my E980 (already rooted and running Carbon ROM nightly build 10/10/2013) with the latest ROM nightly build 10/24/2013.
When in TWRP 2.5.0.0, I wiped everything except the external SD, added 10/24/2013 build image, gapps, and modem zips and hit install rom.
The flashing stopped due to error saying the MD5 signature of the build image zip is bad.
Now I am left with a device with no OS installed. When I power it on, after the initial LG logo flash, nothing happens.
Would you please tell me how to get back into the recovery mode? Thanks a lot.

Posted in Wrong section. It should be in Q&A/help.
Solution for ur issue is bad download. Re-download the ROM and flash or flash another ROM.

Try volume up + power + home key then when it starts to boot let go of power button that should get you into recovery
Sent from my Optimus G Pro using Tapatalk

On the e980 the key sequence is power off, hold volume down and power, when you see the LG logo let go of both buttons, you will get a warning saying you are about to factory wipe and reset your phone (actually boots to recovery).
FYI, I had and still have issues flashing from the 10 10 release of carbon to the 10 24 version. I'm on harmony now in the official section.

It is power, vol+ and home. Once it flashes LG and disappears just let go of the buttons. You will be in recovery. Download, to flash original tot is vol+, vol- and plug in USB.
