You have to use Odin for it, and also ancora.ops which is provided in arco's CWM thread. You first need to download Odin. Check on www.sammobile.com what the latest stock for your region is. Search the stock somewhere around here and in the dev-forum. Reboot your phone to download mode when connected to PC. Open Odin, insert ancora.ops and check one package. Choose your stock, most probably a .tar.md5 and flash it. Your phone will reboot and then you'll be on stock. When I did this with my softbrick I also lost root and CWM.

The stock ROM you've downloaded needs to be a .tar.md5

The .tar.md5 file is all you need.
Also, before proceeding to flashing that stock ROM, please, READ this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128

Try to unplug your battery about 15 minutes. And then try booting it up again. If still on boot loop then do another flash with Odin and it will work

Not sure that's gonna work since the recovery will also be replaced by the stock one.
If that's the case, I would do the following things:
1. Download CWM for Samsung Galaxy Wonder from here. (It's also available in the development section here.)
2. Flash it via ODIN, by following exactly the same steps as for the ROM flashing.
3. Enter CWM and:
clear data (factory reset)
clear dalvik cache (under "advanced" menu)
go back one step and under "mounts & storage menu -> select "format /system" option. This step is crucial for a clean install!! Especially when changing Android versions.
under the same menu, go ahead and format /sdcard. (Be careful NOT to format /external_sd !)
4. exit from there and put your phone into Download Mode again (Home button + Volume DOWN + Power Button).
5. flash the stock ROM via ODIN
6. That's all. Good luck!
Hope you got the correct stock ROM. Also, I hope this little tutorial helps you fix your phone.
If any questions, just ask. We'll be here to help.

if you want you have to go back to GB stock rom flasing using odin downloader .. and if you undergo bootloop you should wipe data and wipe cache in recovery ... get my drift?

Hehe. I'm glad I could help.
In the future, please, don't name your threads "help me" or "need help" cause it's harder to look for. Try to give it a name such as "Galaxy Wonder Android downgrade to stock" or "Galaxy Wonder stuck in bootloop".
Again, I'm really glad now it works. And I hope you learned something today.

unnecessarily hard like that bro ...
just flash stock rom via odin downloader and if you have bootloop did wipe data and wipe cache in recovery after the install is complete ..
and it accomplishes everything ..

Please, read up.
It's not unnecessary and apparently it works.
I'm not sure the STOCK Recovery has those options and I'm not gonna flash it just to prove my point. But I hope you remember the fact that, after flashing the stock ROM via ODIN, CWM will be replaced with the stock recovery.

Best way is to flash tar.md5 wid odin or use mobile odin... I guess no other option... factory reset wont help as the system file is modified....

Which partition did you use to flash it??
Try this method
Go to play store .. Then
download rom manager from clockwork mod
and follow the steps.. That should give you cwm. Now flash philz recovery zip using cwm..
or if you are rooted
download goo.im app
click on menu and tap on open source recovery .. it will give you a notification for twrp.. click on ok and it will download and flash it..

you are doing something wrong...
4.1.2 should not have any issues with Philz recovery...
just flash the latest philz..using ODIN and use the pda tab to flash it..
use .tar file..!
if you still have issues rename the file.. remove .md5 and just make it .tar.. it works..!

Flash through phone if possible (not through recovery mode but from ROM toolbox or something.) It's more reliable.

I think that also
I will try to rename the from from md5.tar to .tar
I flash recovery, root and roms by odin for different devices I don't face this problem

I flash CWM into my device last time also had the same problem. Mine is N7105.
And I rooted + flashed CWM few of N7105 (belongs to my friends), also had the same problem.
But, I managed to succeed finally.
What I did was very simple. After ODIN pass, device will reboot.
When it reboot, don't let it pass the 1st screen. I mean by the time your device showing "Galaxy Note II bla bla bla", don't let it pass it into the 2nd screen.
Once it reboots, you have to as quickly as pressing vol up + power + home, in order to get into recovery, a.s.a.p.
after that, you can see that CWM is installed on your device instead of stock recovery.

Try flashing the official stock firmware, then try to flash CWM, or even better Philz Recovery. Since CWM is not sticking, battery pillout and all doesnt help much!

Wrong.
On every flash of any custom recovery on stock ROM, we need to go to the recovery on the first boot otherwise stock recovery or a file in /etc will overwrite it.
The solution is indeed going to recovery on first boot after the Odin flash and flashing Fix-Recovery.zip file.

PLEASE HELP Note 2 wont boot past Samsung screen!

Hey everyone, 1st off thanks to all the great people here that take there time to help and give back, much love and respect!
So i have a Note 2, i was using it last night, and it just froze! So i waited and waited, nothing! I tried to power down, nothing, so i popped the battery out and it restarted and stayed at "Samsung Galaxy Note II"
I tried many many times to restart and power down, still come back to the same result!
My phone is:
Note 2 SGH-T899V (wind mobile)
I downloaded odin v3.09, i loaded samsung drivers, i downloaded T889VVLUDNE7 from sammobile.
I put phone in download mode, attached cable loaded file from odin(clicked and unclicked all the correct boxes) and everything "Passed" on odin
Phone reset and got stuck again on Samsung screen. So i
Pull out the battery, wait for about 1 minute and then put the battery back in its place.
Boot the device into Stock Recovery mode by holding down Volume Up, Center(menu) button and Power keys till the Samsung logo appears.Use the volume keys to scroll and power keys to select recovery menu options.
From the menu, wipe data by selecting wipe data/factory reset option followed by wipe cache partition. Finally reboot the system by selecting reboot system now.
and still it is stuck in Samsung screen.
I then installed CWM 6.4.3 with no problems, went into recovery wiped user and cache and installed zip from sd card. It would try and then "INSTALLATION ABORTED"
Re Downloaded zip tried again, same thing "INSTALLATION ABORTED"
Flashed CF Auto root, then went into recovery and tried to install from zip and "signature verification failed"
flashed CWM again, tried install "installation aborted"
Guys where am i going wrong, or what step did i miss? Please help!!!

Anyone please help!

Actually I dont own this device so I dont know which firmware version are they ..... any chance you have flashed knox bootloader and these firmware don't have know?
And you can only flash zip files in recovery and I think you are trying to flash .tar file using recovery?? Thats y it is not getting flashed..... do this download any latest custom rom zip and flash it via recovery it will surely fix your issues

to what i know it would take some time for a newly flashed android device to boot out of boot logo.

Just download custom recovery and download custom rom of 4.4.2 and flash via recovery and ur fone will boot up for sure
Most probably u have upgraded ur fone with knox bootloader and now trying to flash non-know enabled firmware or older version know bootloader firmware.... there is no way yet to remove knox bootloader so u need to flash latest firmware using recovery either stock deodexed zip or any custom rom

Just download custom recovery and download custom rom of 4.4.2 and flash via recovery and ur fone will boot up for sure
Most probably u have upgraded ur fone with knox bootloader and now trying to flash non-know enabled firmware or older version know bootloader firmware.... there is no way yet to remove knox bootloader so u need to flash latest firmware using recovery either stock deodexed zip or any custom rom

@sachin-sharma i have tried twrp and cwm for custom recovery and both fail with the newest firmware. What is "stock deodexed zip" ?

I updated the phone once when it was running and i would check for updates and it told me i was totally updated. WOW ok thanks i didn't know those zips where not flashable!!!!!!!!!!!! The zip you sent, what version firm is it? Thank you so much i am downloading now, it's a bit slow!

@sachin-sharma i think i screwed something up, i tried to reflash twrp on the phone just to be safe and now i can get into recovery screen, volume up menu and power and it stays stuck on samsung screen!
