JB-MR1 Help!

Hi all, I was on AKOP's milestone ROM before trying to flash their newest one. I did not do anything to the kernel or anything by the way.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7 and I rebooted into recovery and flashed super dark side wipe and then JB-MR1 and then gapps.
I went through the entire start up process with inputting your information and then finally I got into the actual home screen. I clicked around to see how the UI looked and then decided to reboot through the menu.
It was in the rebooting animation icon for at least 30 min before I decided to pull the battery. I want to wipe and start again but my cwm recovery isn't installing anything.
EDIT: The phone still works as I can boot into the phone and use it. I'm trying to reboot now: power button hold>reboot, but its taking ages still...need help on this reboot thanks
Any help here?
EDIT 2: Pretty much phone is "functional" but any method of trying to reboot or reboot into recovery fails
Thanks all!

Check the Md5 hash to make sure it is a good download.
Otherwise it sounds like it is CWM that can be causing issues.
Which version of gapps are you flashing?

Checked the Md5 with an app and it matches up perfectly with akop's main website.
I'm running 6.0.2.8 cwm. Is it even possible that its cwm? I used the same version to flash AKOPs new ROM.
and im flashing gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
Does it have anything to do with my kernel?

You aren't supposed to use super wipe with cwm 6. That is probably your problem.

Thanks so much for pinpointing the problem! Is there a fix to this?
And is this the recommended method of flashing? (Taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754):
1. Wipe factory data/reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Go into mounts and storage
4. Format /system
5. Format /data
6. Format /cache
7. Enter advanced
8. Wipe dalvik
9. Flash ROM then gapps
10. Reboot and let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes if flashing TW ROMs, this step is unnecessary for AOSP based ROMs.
11. (Optional) if flashing a new radio flash AFTER the ROM has been initially booted for the first time. No wipes are necessary when flashing a new radio but it HAS to be flashed after the ROM is loaded and settled in. Flashing a radio first and then a ROM has caused issues like the phone not even recognizing there is a network for it. ( phone remains in emergency mode )
Edit:
Pretty sure my phone is bricked now... in a continuous boot up loop... BUT i can still access recovery

Yes, those are the proper flashing instructions for CWM6.
It sounds like you have a soft brick. I think your best bet is to Odin back to stock. Have a look here:

You sir are a saving grace!
I'll try this at once!!
I have 2 questions though.
1. in regard to kernels. Do i need to do anything (aka change my kernel?) Or is the stock kernel suitable for 4.2.1?
2. If i cant boot into my phone to get to my SD card, how do i download and put files onto my phone?

Stock kernel is just fine.
Odin will flash the stock OS to your phone from the computer. Make sure to read the Odin directions a few times before trying it because it could hard brick if something goes wrong.

I'm trying to read through the thread you gave me but its kinda cluttered and its hard finding exactly where to start...pointers?

From the first post of that thread you will need
1. The prerequisites
-Odin
-Drivers
-Kies(dunno if this is mandatory but I guess it couldn't hurt.)
2. T-Mobile t989 uvlhi stock ROM(Odin)
You will need some type of zip software to extract the files from this.
3. Follow the steps under Installation - Odin installation(skip step 1)
After you get the stock ROM running you can install custom recovery and then flash your custom ROMs.

You are welcome. You are now unrooted so you have to download the recovery of your choice to the internal SD card and flash it from the stock recovery. After you reboot back into recovery you can flash a ROM and you will be rooted.

That should do it. You won't be rooted until you install a custom ROM though(they come already rooted).

If you download the flashable zip from the first post here:

you should be able to flash it from stock recovery. If it doesn't work I will have to look up how to install it with Odin.

I actually got cwm 5.0.2.7 on my phone through odin. I just need root now to upgrade it to the most recent version.
I've been seeing busybox paired with superuser.
Do i need busybox? Or can i just flash superuser through cwm recovery 5.0.2.7?

[Q] Help! I am so stuck,

I just got this new g3 after bricking my last sg3 last week. this is brand new SG3 ATT just rooted OK, installed TWRP. OK, install goomanager OK, download aokp_d2att_jb-mr1_build-4.zip, and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, used TWRP to install and am now stuck in AOKP with first message after booting "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped". then after that "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped".
and I can't get into recovery. I can only get into download mode. and I can use ODIN, By the way when connect to my desktop I have access to both internal and ext cards.
I don't know what to do next? I am afraid to make it worse or brick AGAIN. can anyone give direction. PLEASE
should I re root with odin?

Those the wrong Google apps for your build. You need the latest ones. You didn't use goo manager to download them did you ?
I suggest you download Task's AOKP and the correct 20130301 google apps. Those are the ones for 4.2.2.

Go into recovery by holding VOL UP : HOME : PWR BUTTON simultaneously. Your phone should boot up into recovery mode (whichever one you have installed). WIPE system, data, cache, and dalvik cache (this very highly recommended). Install the ROM and GAPPS mentioned in the respective order mentioned. Reboot and you should be good to go.
Worst case, should nothing work and you can get into download mode and Odin. But I don't see this being necessary.

Getting into recovery mode can be a pain. Removing the battery and using the above directions will solve the issue.
Tips for flashing any Rom:
1- read the Rom thread and download required files.
2 - boot into recovery
3 - do a nandroid backup
4 - format system
5 - factory data reset
6 - format dalvik cache
7 - format cache
8 - flash Rom
9 - reboot and let sit 10 minutes
If running a non touchwiz Rom reboot back into recovery and flash gapps include in Rom thread. Wipe dalvik cache and cache and let sit 10 minutes after boot.
Some users do steps 4-7 three times to ensure proper wipe.
Following these steps with any Rom will ensue a proper install.

There is a sticky that has the .tar files as well but I have uploaded the UCDLK3 stock+root to he used in Odin. Here is a link to it root66_ATT_I747_UCDLK3.tar.md5 http://d-h.st/ONT
Hope this helps ya out. PLEASE READ THE STICKYS FOR HOW TO USE ODIN AS WELL. The link above is what I used so check the md5 and verify it after you download it to make sure it is the same as the .md5 listed on the link page.

Odin Says "Pass", But phone is not rooted.

Hey guys I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2235366
I used a file called "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar"
Everything goes well and I get a green pass from oden3, the phone reboots. But superSU is not installed and when I check "Root checker" there is no root....
I have 4.1.2
Thoughts?

Just download superuser and simply place it on your phones SD card it's really easy

Your phone is not finishing the process it seems. After Odin says pass do you get a big red Android on the screen? If not flash the cf auto root file but uncheck auto reboot in Odin first. Then when it finishes, pull the cable and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and manually boot to recovery by holding volume up+home+power and it should finish installing root.
I don't know what the post above me is taking about. Installing superuser isn't going to magically give you root. js

It wouldnt brick the phone but if you are seeing the red android then i was mistaken about what your issue is so disregard. Is your phone new? I bet the issue is related to one others are having where recovery cant mount partitions. To confirm that try this. Download this and place on pc http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/AUTOBOOT_RECOVERY/SPH-L710_TWRP_AUTOBOOT.exe
Its a odin one click that will autoboot you to twrp recovery just open it and click start with your phone connected in download mode.
Download this and place on your sd card. (preferably external)

You want to press install then hit "up a level" until youre in the root "/" directory. Then choose "external_sdcard" then tap "root.zip" and swipe to confirm at the bottom.

It's basically the same thing. Cf auto root will install a special recovery made by chainfire and a cache.img with a root zip. It's supposed to flash that zip then restore stock recovery. I've never seen cf auto root fail to do the job so im not sure what went wrong.
But the way you did it was you installed your own custom recovery and manually flashed a root zip created by me instead. Only thing different here is that you still have that custom recovery instead of stock recovery now.

The custom recovery is the same with the exception that it gives you additional privileges over stock recovery. Like installing custom roms, so if you're planning on a custom rom soon then you may as well just stick with the custom one. I do however recommend you download goo manager from the playstore and updating your recovery to the newest with it before trying to flash anything. The recovery I gave you may be a little outdated. And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

Personally I think the chances of your efs going bad are slim and a backup is more for paranoid people. With that said it never hurts to back it up. I just wouldn't restore it unless you have to.

[Q] Bricked?

Hi
After rooting, I managed to wipe dalvik cache and internal. I'm trying to install stock rom from TWRP, but it always says that its unable to open .zip file. When connecting to USB the MTP USB driver fails (I've tried all the attempts with in getting in into download mode, but with no luck). I've got TWRP 2.3.2.3. Any ideas or ROM's which I can boot with here is my device bricked?

Try to install another rom or check the drivers at your computer(By uninstalling them at device manager), connect it to another pc and see if that works. Aslong as your phone can boot into download there shouldn't be anything to be worried about. You could also try to download philz recovery. Either by flashing it, if you manage to get download mode working, or trying that zip to be installed in TWRP.
http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16053#files
I don't like TWRP at all as it has brought me bad expiriences. I'd rather choose Philz recovery, which is just the stock way of installing them zips .
Hope you can get further by these instructions, Good luck. If you got any questions; instead of finding them out yourself, just ask :laugh:

Hope you can get further by these instructions, Good luck. If you got any questions; instead of finding them out yourself, just ask :laugh:

Thanks for the reply! philz did get installed with TWRP and worked after next reboot. But I'm still getting the same message when I try "Install zip" and select the below roms. You know any rom which work for sure? It says Cant open <ROM-Filepath> (bad) on both. The zipfiles are openable through windows
N7100XXDMC3_N7100OXXDMC2_NEE (Stock N7100 for nordic countries)
GT-N7100_WanamLite.XXUEMI6.V4.0.NO-WIPE.zip

Hmm, very strange. Are you installing from a sdcard? Maybe it is corrupted so it doesn't install. You could try placing the zip file into your internal storage and then try to install it from here.

Try to install another rom or check the drivers at your computer(By uninstalling them at device manager), connect it to another pc and see if that works. Aslong as your phone can boot into download there shouldn't be anything to be worried about. You could also try to download philz recovery. Either by flashing it, if you manage to get download mode working, or trying that zip to be installed in TWRP.

It was actually my usb2microSD which was faulty. It was messing up all the files it was writing and the funny thing was that windows7 reported all file copies as success. Anyhow, its fixed once I got the .,zip files copied correctly. That was the only way too (through sd load) ODIN coul'd make a connection. Thx for all the help!

Download your stockversion from sammobile. and flash it with Odin.
Download CWM and the root.zip flash it with odin,so your tab are rooted.
Make an nandroid backup with the recovery.
so is sure that you can go back when you have probs.

Thank you for your quick reply. I will try this asap. I allready flashed cwm before, but i can't see the zip files I copy too root. That's why I switched to TWRP. Any ideas how to see the .zip files in cwm?

I'm not sure ,you have got the lte tab.
here are the link to the CWM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432467&page=13
Important uncheck autoreboot by odin. After flash boot with the button combo into recovery snd flash the root.zip
Than make an backup of your rom.

No. My recovery is CWM now. But it says it can't mount sdcard.
I will later try using sideload and adb. Having a look into this now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200

Also comes this error,when your format of the ext.sdcard than other than fat32 and the size is more than 32gb
Format a sdcard to fat32 with size less 32gb, i found some post at CWM thread.

I have no external sdcard inserted in the tab. I hoped i would be able to flash the files i copied on the tab.

I kinda have the same problem, Im going to follow this thread...

I may be late for dinner but here is how I flash roms on my 5210. If the rom is the OEM Stock Rom, I flash it from ODIN. This HAS to be done this way. There is no other way to flash OEM Stock Rom.
If I am going to flash something like Grievous or Pimpdroid or BinDroid, I will load the rom on to my internal memory Download folder. Then from TWRP I select install and it goes straight to the download folder. However, before I install any of these roms I will wipe the cache and dalvik cache. Is this wise? I don't know, I just do it because most of what I have read has indicated it should be done.
So if you are still having issues, reload from fresh the OEM Stock Rom for you device. Then reload your favorite Recovery (CWM or TWRP). Set up your device for the minimal way you want to use it. Now, from either CWM or TWRP (or whatever backup app you have) backup your device and save it to your PC. This way you can always go back to standard/stock.
From here you would load the Root.zip AND the rom you want to load on the internal download folder (note - if the rom is already rooted there is no need to load root.zip). Now go into recovery and install the root. Restart then shutdown. Note - you may have to update the SuperSU or Superuser app. Go back into recovery and install the rom.
This is how I have done it and it has worked for me. I am sure I have loaded and reloaded several times different roms. However, I always come back to the Stock ROM via backup restore. I haven't found a rom worth using.
This is how I do it. Your device may not react in the same way mine does. So I advise you on the side of caution that you could damage your device if you follow what I do. Not saying what I do is wrong, but it is how I go about loading and unloading different roms. The key for me is I use the backup/restore from TWRP. I find it to be very fast.
Good luck!
ps... if you have already done this and it did not work, my apologies for coming to party too late.

Thank you for your help. I allready tried this procedure. It all works well, the problem starts with the custom roms i try to install, They install fine but when they boot up I get various forceclose messages. Unusable.
I suspect the isue is with the roms. I have not yet found a working rom for GT-P5220.
Has anyone found some working rom for this specific device?
