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

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

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.

It'll have to be stock recovery for it to even download to the phone I'm pretty sure.
Only a few options I can think of.
Get a stock VLALE6 recovery and install it.
Flash the stock FW and then update.
Or just flash the updated stock FW.
Has it already downloaded the ota?
It should be in /cache/fota/ if it has. It'll be update.zip.
If it did, I can help you get it installed as is. Make a copy of the update.zip if you can btw.

If you want you can try using Mobile Odin. Download the LE6 FW and choose to install it in Mobile Odin. You can deselect everything but recovery and flash. Then you should be able to get the ota.
You could also pull recovery.img from the FW re-tar it and flash with pc odin.

Always good to have another resource, but two things real quick...
He can't use this FW. Its for the T999 but since he's on Videotron he will almost certainly have the model T999V.
It does not say what build either the FW or the Recovery are. I'm guessing they are both the original build UVALEM, but it really should specify.
Thanks anyway man.
@OP
If you do have the T999V like I suspect, use the links I gave you a couple posts up.

Its hard to say, I rooted my phone successfully, then using Odin i tried to flash a rom using a guide i found now Im stuck with this.
I was hopeing to put lighting rom on or something "fast"
So after you rooted it did you boot it up and it worked? What kind of file was the rom that you were trying to flash using odin? You should install a custom recovery, I prefer twrp and it's very easy to install. And what is this lighting rom? Never heard of it
And what guide did you follow to flash a rom in odin?

You may need to try and use odin to put the stock firmware back on and root it again. I don't think you can flash zip files using odin. You use a custom recovery. Search YouTube on how to root your phone and install a recovery. If I understand you right, you rooted it and immediately tried to install a zip file using odin which you can't do.

Hey guys i'm new to the forums and looking for some help.
I've rooted my S3 succesfully and installed CWM as well as flashed the updates for it, but after flashing the CM 10.1 ROM i cant't seem to get passed the CM logo, the screen just stays black. I've been looking through the forums and managed to find some stock ROMs but for some reason Odin(3.0.7) keeps giving me a fail message every time I try to do it.
Please help me I would just like to start from scratch and give it another go, is there any sort of guide to just reset everything either using Odin or from recovery?
Thanks

I've tried flashing a few stock roms and they all fail using odin, am I doing something wrong? And i can't flash from recovery because ic ant access internal storage while its stuck at logo.
To use Odin:
Usb in the back of computer (#1 on a laptop)
Reboot computer
Phone in download mode (volume down+ home+ power)
Run Odin as administrator
Use a known good cable
After flashing back to stock, when you get hung up on boot:
Pull battery, wait 2 minutes, reinsert
Boot into recovery with button combo, factory reset, reboot.

Are they in the .tar format ? You can't flash .zip ones in Odin. You can get them from the no tripping flash counter root method

Wow ok I managed to flash TWRP using Odin, then was able to flash a stock rom through my external SD and it seems to have brought it back to stock, weird how odin could not do it itself, anyways thank you so much for your help.

No problem at all. I find twrp a bit more intuitive to use and that odd cwm didn't find ext card. Glad it worked.

Hey guys,
I'm a noob at this and tried doing my research but I'm not at a dead end.
I wiped my system with TWRP.
I was on Jedi Mind Trick X4.
I wiped internal storage, system, dalvik cache, and cache.
Now I can't install a new rom. It fails.
The rom I am flashing is the official t-mo t989 jelly bean OS.
It says no MD5 file found...
something about partition...
and fails.
What do? :silly:
Can you provide the link you downloaded it from? I think you're trying to flash an Odin ROM

Here's the thread link, and here's the download link.
So you tried to flash this ROM thru Odin? Or thru your phones recovery?

Looking at the DL page there is a tar file inside the zip file that you use to flash thru Odin. Is that how you flashed it?

I tried flashing it with TWRP recovery.
I just now realized that you can only flash it with ODIN. My mistake.
Now the phone is stuck in the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen.
I removed the battery, replaced battery, held volume up + volume down, and plugged USB in and it got to the custom OS screen.
I pressed volume up and it just goes back to the 'firmware encountered an issue screen.'
What should I do now?
DISREGARD, GUYS
I just figured out that even if you're on on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen, you can still use ODIN to flash a rom.
Glad you figured it out
