Hey I've been tryin to flash roms for a coupla a weeks now. I know how to do the flash I'm trying to install the zips but every it just comes up with Installation Aborted. Do i need to have the bootloader unlocked to do this. Or do the zips have bugs in them.
What kernel/recovery are you flashing? What ROM are you currently running?

You need a safe recovery, DOWNLOAD THE ROM YOU WANT FIRST... Then install mobile Odin and flash a kernel called el26 then when the phone turns off quickly hold power and vol up. Then wipe cache, dalvik, and factory wipe(above cache). Then flash the ROM YOU WANT

Thats what i keep doing every time it fails. I'm using AGAT recovery stuck on FI27. i am trying o flash the Jelly version of MIUI. what is considered a safe recovery for that rom. I also have to download roms and stuff through my phone because our home internet is so slow its only 60KB/s so then i plug in my phone and move odin to the desktop. Is that causing it to fail.

Hi for some reason I can not boot into cwm unless I use mobile Odin and flash el26 kernal if I try volume up and power it brings me to the recovery with the android guy and its like yellow and blue lettering if someone can help ty

Have no idea what you are trying to do. Flash kernel, flash ROM, flash Modem, create backup etc....
The stock E4GT does NOT come with CWM. If you want CWM on the stock ROM you can use EL26 or the EL29 (Rogue too) CWMs.
These can be installed via Mobile Odin or sfhub's Autoroot package.
I suggest you do some really serious reading and then do some more reading about how to mod this phone. Otherwise you will end up with an expensive paperweight.
Best and safest place to start is sfhubs EL29 stock rooted, then use his autoroot package to add EL29+CWM+Rogue recovery.
Also don't user ROM Manager OR a 'touch' recovery - you will brick your phone.
Again please read extensively before you brick your phone.
I have root I'm running aokp I have flashed many roms and what not but I just can't boot into recovery (cwm) without using Odin and flashing kernal first then I can

You have to use odin, mobile odin to flash kernels. In odin you have to hold power and volume down first then volume up to get into download mode.
I know how to get into cwm while using Odin never used mobile Odin but like if I shut my phone off and try to boot into cwm I can't

I guess I'm not understanding you completely. Your definitely booting into stock recovery. How exactly are you flashing the el26 kernel?
Send me a pm and I'll explain more to ya if you thank you
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
AOKP and other ICS ROms typically do not include a custom recovery due to the high risk of bricks. That is why you are unable to get back to cwm. Read the OP of the AOKP thread carefully or you will have an expensive paperweight. On AOKP, you have to Odin EL29 with cwm in order to use recovery safely, then flash an AOSP kernel before rebooting to Android.
As stated... if you flashed an ICS ROM/kernel from a GB CWM setup then CWM won't be there. If you're sure it's still installed and just can't get to it then try downloading "QuickBoot" from the market (it's free) and try the "recovery" option.. maybe that'll work.
Even if you're on an ICS ROM and try to get to CWM you should still get to a stock recovery....
Hopefully it's not a dumb question but I can't find the answer anywhere else.
I have a rooted phone w/ CWM and faux's kernel.
No 3rd party ROM installed.
I got the update today. Can I install the update with the kernel or will that do bad things to my phone?
Do I have to go back to a stock kernel and recovery to do that update or is going back to a stock kernel good enough?
I don't mind losing root, I can always reroot it. I just don't want to do something stupid to my phone.

You definitely have to go to stock recovery...i also went back to stock kernel too..then applied them back without error after update

Thanks, another possibly stupid question.
Is there only one stock recovery or are there different versions between the UVKL1 and UVKID recovery?
Will this recovery work with my UVKL1 phone?

It's the same. To prevent having issues, I recommend doing a factory reset before flashing back to stock.
Just back up whatever you don't want erased. You don't have to worry about the external sd, the reset won't touch that.

Can you flash a different kernel after installing the latest update? Yes. Should you if you want a flawless ICS update this Monday and possibly avoid a brick? Probably not. Up to you.
Simply put, NO. As mentioned above Odin fully back to unrooted stock for he update to flash properly. Otherwise you'll have a soft brick on your hands.

You can just Odin the update from where you are now. Just super wipe first.

Also, if you're on ICS right now, you may get boot loops after flashing back to stock. Just do a factory reset in recovery and you're good to go.

It depends what you're coming from and how/if you wiped your phone.

That looks fine. If you're on ICS and reboot after wiping to get into download mode, some apps will automatically install on first boot so you will get boot loops after you flash back to stock. That's fine if you do, just do a factory reset in recovery.

Just as a follow up to my own thread.
I followed this guide to go back to stock and then did the maintenance update.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16727-howto-restore-stock-rom-recover-bad-flashes/
I backed up everything just in case but I didn't lose any data and it took about 10 minutes to do everything.
I'm just going to run stock until I get ICS and then reroot again.
I have heard you can brick your phone by trying to do a factory reset in cm9s recovery so how would I go about doing this?
Flash el29 cwm via Odin, do your needed wiping, then flash back the rom you were on or one that u want.

Hey my samsung galaxy s3 was bricked when I tried installing a kernal for a jb rom and I restored it to stock in odin.
Right now its just stuck on the Samsung Boot logo and the blue led is shown but it wont boot up. What do i do?
Reflash. By chance, can you get into recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
No, not at all. When i hold volume up + power + home it vibrates twice and turns off and does the same thing when I hold it which makes it turn on. I can get to download mode though

Not lh1 here:
Flash this in odin: http://d-h.st/u2B <<< AT&T lg1
Thats the image i used to get back to stock with root. After that flashes the system will boot and say there is an update if you want the latest os then install rootkeeper from play store and run it that will preserve root. Once you run rootkeeper accept the update and that will get you to lh9 the latest os.

No, not yet i cant really get into clockwork recovery at all if you read my post above. I got into this whole mess by flashing a kernal on a jb rom whe i was rooted and i probably shouldnt have because it bricked my phone. But ive done almost everthing above and now im willing to do anything to get my phone back up and running. Will flashing the kernal for it fix it?
Yes, if you can find a way to enter download mode flash a stock rooted kernel and a stock ROM. You may need a jig to enter download mode

I can enter download mode without a problem all i need is the kernal you said which would possibly fix my phone.
The lg1 update i gave you has the boot.img (kernel) with it. It is everything, boot.img, system, modem, etc. Sounds bad but are you sure you are using odin correctly ?

Yes I think so, i run odin with administator tick auto reboot and F. Reset time click PDA and located the root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar (the old boot img you gave me) and connect my phone while it is in downloading mode and press start. Is that right?

Can you even do that on a bricked phone? Is there a program I can do it through? I can't load my clockwork recovery at all.
Did you try the toolkit?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Hope this helps. I had a similar issue once where the phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo. What I did was booted into stock recovery and did a wipe cache and wipe data. The phone booted up successfully after that.
U can also flash CMW through ODIN and do all the wipes (dalvik,cache and data) and I'm pretty sure ur phone will boot up.
