Hello all,
I accidentally flashed CM9 9/9 nightly over the CM10 9/8 nightly. I was unable to get back into clockwork, so I attempted to flash back to stock via Odin. Now my device boots, but hangs at the Samsung logo.
How do I recover this?
Thanks in advance...
Depends on what you want.
If you wanna get back to stock go into stock recovery (or whatever recovery you ha e right now) and do a factory reset (data wipe). See if it powers up. If not, follow instructions again on flashing stock Odin file. All you probably need is a Factory Reset though
If you want to go back to CM10 flash the CWM tar.md5 file through Odin (I have a thread in the dev section with that file in the OP, look for CWM Recovery thread). Make sure auto reboot is not checked. After the tar.md5 flashes, pull out the battery, put it back in, go into recovery ( while phone is off, hold volume up+home button+power button @ the same time until you see blue text flash on the top left corner of the screen then let go)

At this point, I just want a functioning phone...
I'll try the CWM tar.md file. Thanks for the help.

There is no CM10 tar.md5 file. There is the CWM Recovery tar.md5 file found here
Get into download mode, plug phone into computer, open Odin and uncheck auto reboot, load the tar.md5, flash. If successful take out battery, put it back in, get into recovery, perform Factory Reset, flash Cm10, reboot
Worked like a champ. Thanks again...

Yeah, I mistyped. I wanted to edit when I saw my mistake, but, you know. Junior member...
I've been browsing the forums for a couple of months. Read lots of how-to guides but they all give different ways of doing the same thing.
Thought I knew a lot about computers, but feeling like a noob
GT-N7100 (international) running 4.1.1. Rooted using N7100. Backed up all my apks and data using Carbon, the backup app. I assume that if I wipe the device I can restore... so I'm good to go.
Wanted to put on a custom 4.2 rom so I picked Carbon (1.4-2FEB2003). Reviews looked favourable.
Downloaded Rom Manager v5.5.2.3. Clicked "Recovery Setup", rebooted, my Current Recovery is now Clockworkod 6.0.1.9.
Downloaded the rom using goomanager. Rom is sitting in a zip in a directory on my sd card.
Installed Mobile ODIN Lite v3.65 since I wanted to keep the flash count at 0.
Mobile ODIN doesn't see any of the files (they're zip). If I unzip them using an external zipper then I can manual select "Kernel" boot.img, but no idea what files to select for the rest of the options. Ok, so abandoned ODIN.
Back to ROM Manager. Install ROM from SD Card, however that app appears to be bugged since it's not able to show the external sd card, (extSdCard) and just shows internal memory.
Installed ROM Toolbox Lite. Install ROM from SD card. Browsed onto the SD card. Hurrah... picked the rom. ROM Pre-Installation appears, picked Backup Existing ROM, Wipe Data and Cache (shudder), Wipe Dalvik Cache. Ok. Reboot and install. OK. Phone reboots.
Into ClockworkMod.
Screen appears with a falled down droid. Options are: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset/ wipe cache partition, apply update from cache.
No idea what to pick. I'd have expected to get a "install rom from sd card" or some other such option, since "update" sounds like just changing clockworkmod.
Choosing "reboot system now" and the system comes back up as if I hadn't told it to install rom. Apply from external allows me to browse the rom but then I get ann E:signature veritifcation failed.
Hard-reboot. Back into 4.1.1.
I can plug into my computer (mac - so no Odin). While I'd like to keep my trianges away etc for warranty, it's not 100% critical.
How to progress further? Which of the several flashing tools should I use? What noob mistakes am I making?
1st Of all Every time You Flash a Custom Rom or boot into recovery mode ur binary will be increased so its pointless to use Triangle away while you are rooted , But when you decide to make ur device completely stock then use Triangle away and flash a Stock Rom which will unroot ur device and get ota updates back.
Now for flashing custom Roms its simple By Using any custom recovery Clockworkod or TWR.. etc:
1- Turn Off ur device then boot into recovery ( Vol up + Home + Power)
2- Make sure you have downloaded the Rom to your external SD Card
3- Wipe data Factory Reset ( Your External will remain untouched)
4- Wipe Cach
5- Wipe Dalvik cach
6- Finally Install Zip From SD Card an choose install Zip from External Card , Aroma Installer will popup then you can take it from here

Would you expect the Install Zip from SD Card option to appear if I'd skipped steps 2-5. I.e. if I haven't factory wiped yet, would the option not appear? Or should it always be there and there is something else wrong?
Thanks for your help BTW.

if u skip steps 2-5 you will face problems in the new rom. even worse the new rom may not boot normally due to leftover system data files n settings of the previous rom.
best way to flash is to reboot to recovery rather than using some softwares.
always make a nandroid in clockwork "backup n restore" option prior to flashing new rom.

Maybe this is where my confusion is coming from. I'm not seeing a backup option in the clockwork menu. Nor am I seeing a flash rom option, or anything other than the few options.
Those options are: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset/ wipe cache partition, apply update from cache.
That means you haven't flashed cwm recovery.

According to ROM Manager on the phone I'm getting told
"Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9"
I've tried reflashing the recovery a couple of times but it makes no difference.
I've checked clockworkmod.com/rommanager and indeed 6.0.1.9 appears correct.
Is there a different tool I should be using to put the cwm recovery into place?
Again, thanks to everyone so far for your help. This noob wants to not be a noob

When you say "in recovery" did you mean in the ROM Manager app, or somewhere else? I'll assume you meant when booting in recovery mode.
If I boot into recovery mode (from ROM Manager, click the reboot into recovery, or by power off/on with keys) I get the fallen down droid, and the following:
"Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

I guess you still have the stock recovery , You should have the option to install a zip from SD Card check the Screenshot

Hmm... screenshot definitely doesn't look like that. So what do I need to do to get that recovery installed? ROM Manager doesn't seem to want to do it. I wonder if the way I got root is the problem?

I've downloaded the file (6.0.1.9) and it comes as a .img file. However, by default, mobile odin wouldn't handle it. Searched and found another post that said to rename it to "recovery.img" and... MO found it. Hurrah. Flashed. Hurrah.
It rebooted into it once. All looked good. But on reboot it's gone. I'm a lot further along than this morning so thank you. I'll go play some more!
Rename the following file
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
to
/system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
With root explorer or something.
Then flash custom recovery again.

You need to post more info if possible but it sounds like you are trying to downgrade from MA7 to an earlier firmware like LK8. The update included a security patch so it won't let you go back to insecure. Try pulling the sboot out of whatever you are trying to flash or stick with MA7

It's not brick cuz odin can still see your phone. If you dont have TWRP on it, go to www.twrp.com and download the tar file for sprint note 2. Then use Odin to flash it. Once you are done that, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 to get either the old LJC or MA7 and put it in your phone either internal or external SD. Do the wipe cache/factory reset first. Then flash it. It will go back to stock rom.

Hello even though its old I figured I would post here first instead of starting a new thread, my friend has a Note 2 for Sprint never rooted or custom ROM flashed and he said it was sitting on the charger and when he woke up in the morning it was off and after attempting to power the device on it stays stuck on the Samsung logo. I cant get Kies to recognize the device at all not matter what pc is use however it shows up in Odin but it fails everything from stock files ( older and current ) , different versions of Odin, recoveries and I even tried a " unbrick .tar file " . Any help at all would be appreciated I will include pics

Can you odin a custom recovery and boot into it?
1. Put phone in download mode
2. In odin program uncheck reboot and flash recovery
3. After flash disconnect phone and pull battery
4. Quickly insert and remove battery multiple times (if you just reinsert battery it will automatically boot)
5. Boot phone into recovery backup any important data that is on your internal sdcard
6. Do factory reset then flash billards stock mc2 with counter reset (do not wipe cache after flashing this)
7. Flash superuser zip found in billards Op
8. Reboot phone and freakout when see the screen do odd things and reboot (this is normal)
Now it will bootup on stock rooted mc2.

hey everybody, i rooted my s4 a couple days ago and it was working fine until i rebooted it too much in a short amount of time last night. Im a complete noob and new to customization. the phone is just stuck on the tmobile screen and wont go past it at all. i factory wiped it from stock recovery and that still did not help.
the root I used was: true- android. blogspot -dot- com / 2013 /11 /install -uvuemk2-android-43-jb-firmware.html
I followed everything correctly and the phone was rooted properly by odin.
theres not much else to it except that i was using font installer- a very stupid app that set its fonts to default and i was trying to get rid of them.
also i rerooted the phone using the same processes in the link above and nothing happened.
to the mods: sorry if this issue has been resolved somewhere else. if you know where please let me know. Thanks everybody!:laugh:

Here is a sure fix for your issue.
Download cf-autoroot and odin flash it, but be sure you uncheck the
checkmark in odin which says "auto reboot" before flashing.
(unzip cf-autoroot so you get the TAR file which odin needs)
After flashing cf-autoroot use the power button to power off the phone.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF-...mo-sghm919.zip
After that's done you need to odin flash TWRP custom recovery.
Here is the direct download for TWRP custom recovery
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfl...1-jfltetmo.tar
After you are done flashing TWRP the phone should work properly
without any further issues.
I would highly suggest that after your phone is working properly make
a nandroid backup if the rom in TWRP recovery before you change any
settings, adding/installing or flashing any mods, themes or apps.
Good luck!

Yes, in the latest odin version the pda is now called "AP" and yes
it's always best to un-check auto-reboot in Odin and always
power the phone down manually after odin flashes anything.

Go into recovery and do a "Factory Reset", don't wipe anything except cache and dalvik cach
then do the "factory reset" and reboot the phone.
By doing that it will delete any files and settings which are related to your previous rom version
you had before you Odin flashed the full 4.3 official Samsung M919 Jellybean firmware.
The factory reset will not wipe your internal/external sdcard and it will not wipe any personal files,
contacts, music, videos or pictures.
All the factory reset in recovery does is to make sure that you only have the new
updated Samsung M919 official Jelleybean 4.3 rom related files in your phone.
Google will replace your contacts and other settings using your gmail account
automatically after you sign into your gmail account.

Use the "Advanced" tab and select only the Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Then back out of the advance wipe option using the back softkey in twrp
recovery, then you will see on bottom of screen where you swipe, it will say
"factory reset" ... do that and reboot the phone.

If you read me post about flashing KToonsez kernel it does not mention

click on it, and flash it in TWRP

to the location of the ktoonzes kernel you downloaded, then
click on it, and flash it in TWRP
(no need for odin when you are in twrp recovery)

Hi, I've managed to use Odin to install the bell with root image, phone now working with I747MVLUEMK5..downloaded clockworkmod recovery manager and used the att recovery image. Downloaded custom Roms, factory reset the phone, wiped cache and dalvik then installed the custom ROM. It installed properly but when I reboot, it won't turn on, I have to do the download mode to recover it back using the Odin. Tried different custom ROM and I made sure they are for this image MVLUEMK5... But same result, it won't boot up... Help...did I miss a step?
Copy a ROM to your SD card, install a custom recovery (I prefer CWM), boot into recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, data, and system, install the custom ROM, reboot the phone.
Every 4.4.2 ROM I have tried (Valudus, Cyanfox, CM11) will boot with a stock 4.1.2 bootloader or newer so you should be fine.
Do you have any warranty left on your phone? Does your phone have Knox installed?

Here’s the Steps I went through:
*
I have a Bell S3 with 4.3 JB from OTA
*
1.******Downloaded Odin to my PC
2.******Downloaded the image from* 66 CF Root….
3.******Loaded it to my phone (Using Odin)
4.******Made sure the phone is rooted after and it is
5.******Downloaded CWM Manager from Playstore
6.******Changed the Recovery image using the Manager to Samsung Galaxy S3 for AT&T (d2att)
7.******Downloaded Omni Rom then moved it to the SD card using My File app
8.******Rebooted to Recovery
9.******Backed up my phone
10.***Did a Factory reset
11.***Did a Wipe Cache
12.***Did a Wipe Davlik
13.***Flashed the Rom with no error
14.***Rebooted to System
15.***Samsung Logo showed up for a sec then the phone is dead
16.***Tried to turn it on by pressing the power button but not working, I thought the battery was drained when I rebooted, I plugged it in for half an hour but still not turning on. Was able to press the power_
17.***Vol down and home and it booted to Download mode
18.***Used Odin to load the image frok step 2 above and tried the same steps using different rom (Beanstalk-4.4) and the result is the same
Too much work for me. There is no need to have root before installing a custom ROM.
Do this:
Use Odin to install Philz Touch Recovery from here (use the tar version in PDA, do not check auto reboot): http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att
Once it flashes and you see Reset in the windows, pull the battery, disconnect the phone from computer, boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, system, data, flash rom, reboot.
Thanks for the help...I'll try this tonight...when you say pull the battery, you mean literally take the battery out of the phone? Would it boot to recovery when I put the battery back? or will it normally boot then I would reboot to recovery.
Thanks!

Yes, remove the battery. Disconnect the USB cable, replace the battery, press volume +, home, and power to get into recovery. Wipe cache, Dalvik, system, data, and flash your custom ROM.

Okay, installed Philz recovery using Odin, pulled bttery, unplug usb then boot to recovery...Philz recovery booted, was able to set to factory, wipe cache,dalvik and flash beanstalk rom,...rebooted the system and still shows samsung logo for a sec and phone turned off....I was still able to go back to phils recovery and tried a different rom and it did the same...just not booting up after flashing...
One thing I noticed is when flashing the rom it doesnt take long (less than 2 minutes) then it completed withoiut error....could it be the zip file or the SD card where i copied them?

Most of the 4.3 roms take a long time at the first boot once you flash it (when I flashed S3Rx it took 3 minutes 32 seconds, I timed it because most people say I waited a long time but have no recollection of how much time) it will stay at one of the boot image screens for several minutes then it should vibrate once the blue led should illuminate and then it will finish booting.
If the wait is too much for you turn it on, set it down, walk away, find something to do, 10 minutes later come back, if it hasn't booted now make sure you followed all the instructions correctly and flashed the right stuff for the phone model you have.

To make sure we are on the same page, is it just stuck at a boot screen or is it getting to a screen turning off and going back to the same screen repeatedly?

Try a different ROM. I use validus and it installed without a problem.

I was able to flash Validus and And Candykat but could not flash Omni and Beanstalk....flashes with no error but just wont boot up...
I quickly checked the difference between validus/candy Kat vs omni/beanstalk...I looked at the updater-script and found that both validus and candykat doesn't have "assert((getprop...." lines in the beginning of the script, they start at mount ("ext4","EMMC.... line...I wonder if I take the assert lines on the Omni and Beanstalk updater-script if it is going to work..

You can remove the asserts and try, but the phone still may not boot. Any particular reason you want Omni or Beanstalk? I personally prefer Validus.

didn't work without the assert either....just wanted to try different Roms...I'm on Validuz now but having a couple of issues...WiFi is not turning on, have to reboot to turn it on and reboot doesn't work either. It won't turn on unless I pulled the battery which is a pain....

Just curious... are you going into mounts and storage to format system along with the factory reset and dalvik / cache wipes ??
