Seeking stock zip for t989 flashable through CWM ( I lost DL mode)

I am having a lot of trouble with an issue I have seen some other t989 users encounter. My pc will not recognize my phone....and Im not able to get into download mode. Right now Im running Miui 2.6.8 because its all I could push through CWM. If anyone knows of a stock zip I can save on to my sd and install through CWM that would be great. I can charge my phone just fine. But I cant find a computer to recognize it...nothing has worked. AND I CANT GET DOWNLOAD MODE to odin the stock roms available. If anyone has any advice about that, it would also be helpful.

I d like one too please

does it need to be 100% stock? If not there are a few that are rooted and deodexed or bloat free but pretty much stock in the dev section.

You have to open the page on a computer and downloaded it then transfer it to your phone. Or you can open the page in desktop view.

Help! I messed up cwm recovery and now cant recover.

I have a Koodo Samsung Galaxy 2x sgh-t989d. running ICS 404 .I have been attempting to root and run a custom mod.CM9
I installed cwm recovery and was able to root, but made a mistake and I dont believe cwm recovery was installed correctly as I was not properly in download mode when I ran odin.
Was able to achieve root, but phone had odd quirk that it would hang on shut down. Had to remove battery.
I installed cm9 but it hung on boot screen animation so i restored but the hang on shut off remained. I then attempted to reinstall CWM recovery again using odin. thinking it didnt install correctly the first time....bad idea
Result: now when I try to access CWM recovery the lines are double spaced and I cant do anything but reboot.
Is there a way to repair the cwm recovery or flash my phone back to stock?
I am a total noob and hope this is the right place for this and would very much appreciate any help I can get.

If you're rooted you can download ROM Manager from Play, it will flash CWM for you.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately No I had tried to restore to factory because of the hanging on shutdown so I am stuck with the phone unrooted. I can access the CWM recovery folders via the sd card, so its really a matter of fixing the CWM install without root.
I have noticed that there is a koodo stock signed zip for my phone on this site which i have downloaded. Is there a way to flash that onto the phone bypassing CWM.
My phone is still operational and so I am a little afraid of making it worse.

If you can get your phone in download mode and connect to odin the you should be able to restore back to stock rom/recovery and perhaps try the process again..

Yes, I can still get into download mode and hook to odin.
Oddly I installed CWM the first time with odin, in recovery mode I believe, and it installed with an error but it worked.
Reinstalling CWM using odin in download mode is what messed up CWM in the first place, so I was a little afraid to try it again..
I clicked pda and pointed towards recovery.tar.md5 as per instructions that I cant link to yet.
so your saying I should try it again?

Thanks for your timet guys, How do I use odin to get back to stock? I know how to use CWM to do it.

this is for soft bricked, but it's exactly the same process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414341
Happy flashing!
Side note: make sure you run odin as admin, less likely to get errors. And i don't know much about koodo but i would assume that you would need their stock tar file for all this to work

I don't know if there is an odin flashable stock koodo rom in the development thread yet. You could need that to do it..
However if you are having problems with cwm there is an odin flashable twrp in the dev thread.. Once you install that you can flash superuser and root your phone.. Or even go back to cwm if you choose to

It doesn't use .tar files and neither does cwm I think what you are referring too is .zip files..
Unless specified you can flash anything in this forum with twrp. Some roms require cwm but once you have a working recovery on your phone you will easily be able to switch from one to the other

Oops yes, sorry zip files.
Ok after a little research here is my plan. First to install TWRP 2.2 using odin (since I dont have root) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852753
and then use TWRP to install this stock original rooted koodo ICS 4.04 zip rom from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849748
will it work?

Yes it should work.. after you have twrp you can flash the stock koodo rom or any other rom for the T989/D or the Skyrocket but for the Skyrocket you will need the rotation fix that can be found by searching this forum
Oh and report back with your progress

Ok i will move forward then thanks.
First off in the instructions to install TWRP using odin it says to reboot to bootloader is that the same as download mode? Not taking chances at this point.

Yes you need download mode to connect to odin..
Before you go further I just wanna clarify one thing.. Is it cwm on your device that is causing problems or are you just unrooted?.. Because if you are just unrooted then flashing a rooted rom will fix that

So I googled it and supposedly bootloader is recovery mode , not download or odin mode in other words up and down plus start button. Is this right when I installed CWM with odin it was supposed to be in download mode??

CWM is the problem if I boot into recovery mode the menu displays, but is double spaced and unresponsive as if its not loading correctly.
I am trying to get around not having a working version of cwm installed.
Now I am confused why the install instructions for TWRP say enter bootloader mode with odin ???? thanks for helping me here rymanh

You must be in download mode to use odin.. Otherwise it won't detect your phone...Open odin then Hold Vol down + power the release power once your phone vibrates then connect it to your computer with usb.. Then you should be connected

Ok so I installed TWRP in odin mode as suggested and it worked. Now if I enter bootloader or recovery mode TWRP runs first hurdle cleared. so I will try and flash the new rom now.

[Q] BRICKED?!?!?!

So i saw that jelly bean 4.2.1 came out so i wanted to give it a try. I flashed it and everything was gone, i reflashed back to 4.1.x. both are aokp. After that i read about the sdcard0/0 thing and i copied my cwm files from /0 to sdcard. I tried to recover it back to it was before i upgraded to 4.2.1 but something went wrong. it said error while restoring /system or something like that. I think what i did wrong was that i forgot to wipe everything before recovering. So now my S3 is stuck at the pink unicorn boot... Im unable to go to recover mode, download mode is my only option. HELP PLZZZ

You're not bricked..
If you can get into download mode flash a stock rom thru Odin.

-Get on a PC
-Run Odin
-Put your phone in download mode
-Plug in your phone so Odin sees it
-Grab a rooted stock ROM from the dev section
-Put the .tar file in the PDA section of Odin
-Click start the Odin processes
-Success back to stock!!
And begin flashing all over again
I might add if you don't understand advanced setting it think you might mess something up... Stick to just regular flashing

You can't flash Odin files thru recovery
You really know what you're doing right? Because it kind of sounds like you don't (no offence)
Odin a stock ROM
After you do try to boot up to the Samsung e3 recovery
Wipe your phone and reboot it
Give it time... Stick roms can take up to 10minutes to completely boot up..

Man you have no business flashing if you don't understand the simple instructions and links they provided. You really should do a little reading and watching some videos before you really do brick your phone.

If you Odin and factory reset and everything then yeah your data is gone.
Invest in an external SD card and keep backups on there.

You do realize that in your last thread you was told to give more info and yet you post another with the same thing. What boot loader? What kernel? What have you done so far? Are you rooted? Did you upgrade to 4.4 and then try to downgrade to 4.3? More information of the few guys who do help are just gonna ignore you.

TWRP's website specifically says that goo doesn't work with the Note 3. Download the 2.7 recovery and push it with odin.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/198
"Goo manager has been removed due to incompatibility issues with bootloader. Please install by one of the next 3 methods."

No need to Google . the answers are right here. In original development you have both working recoveries.
