[Q] Cannot flash roms anymore

I can no longer flash a new rom and boot up successfully. It goes through the entire flash process correctly, but then boots straight into CWM when i restart. I have tried to flashing back to stock via odin, then starting fresh, did a factory reset from standard recovery. I have flashed MANY times prior with no problems. The only way I can get it to boot is when I restore with Odin. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried TWRP and same issue. Boots straight into whatever recovery I have installed. I have never had a problem with CWM before. I was running Serenity 1.1, noticed my GPS wasn't working and reverted back to stock and did factory reset. Ever since, not able to flash. I had flashed a couple of the Sprint leak roms prior to Serenity with no issues.

flash a stock rom using odin should unroot your phone giving you stock recovery again

I don't want stock recovery. I want to be able to flash again. I tried using TWRP after fresh install but still have same issue. Either I boot straight into recovery after flashing rom, or it just sits on the SGS III logo. The only thing I can flash is back to stock either already rooted or plain stock. I am at a loss. I have been flashing with no problems since august and have no idea what the problem can be. I have even tried redownloading the roms.

Well fortunately for you rooting the GS3 is very easy, so do as he says, Odin to stock, re-root and flash. If you are seriously at a loss because you don't want to go through the trouble to be able to flash and root again then I suggest searching forums for someone who might have the same problem.

That's the problem, after flashing back to stock, and re rooting, I have the problem. I cannot flash anything using CWM or TWRP anymore. I am currently rooted and stock. No recovery installed. Not sure what happened and why recoveries are not working. I don't mind flashing back to stock.

Grab a stock image from sammobile.com and try that.

Evidently fifth time is a charm. Restored back to rooted stock, reinstalled apps, twrp and successfully made a back up and restored. Was able to flash Ariel. Not sure what the difference was but back up and running now. Thanks for all the suggestions.

[Q] Can I return to stock Koodo?

Hey guys/gals,
I recently bought a Koodo Galaxy s2x. After a few weeks I looked online and saw that there were some JB Roms for my phone. I couldn't resist and tried to flash one after rooting. I didn't have many problems with it, but there were some glitches that started to bug me, so I decided to see about going back to stock (I should have done this first I know). So then after hours(many) of searching, the best I could find was a T-Mobile stock Rom I decided to try and flash it (both times via odin). I also read somewhere that I should use darkside superwipe to clear my cache, so I tried that, but ever since that CWM stopped working on my phone. anytime I tried to do any back up or anything it just froze, and I had to hard boot. Finally I just tried flashing T-Mobile stock ICS, and Odin said "Failed". I decided to just unplug my phone, as I thought I already screwed it up, but after rebooting, the T-mobile Rom worked. I don't understand why it works fine if the Flash Failed. Now, I can no longer connect to kies (I'm hoping official JB will be shipped soon!), and I am wondering if I can somehow return to a stock Koodo Rom, and if it will connect to Kies again, as it previously had. I have looked a lot and have not found anything that I fully understand. I'm not overly experienced, which is why I should not have flashed to begin with. This is the closest thread I have found to help me, but I don't fully understand what all I need to do:
"Haven't seen anyone shared this yet.
Here's the KOODO ICS 4.0.4 stock ROM I used CWM to flash to stock after I tried the custom ROM.
h t t p s : / / sourceforge.net/projects/koo...d.zip/download
I also flashed DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIDE before I flashed this or you can used CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 to wipe system and cache."
Is it possible for me to get back to stock phone? and still connect to Kies? and then possibly upgrade to JB through Kies if Hercules ends up receiving it?
Thanks for any help you can give me. Here is all my current phone info incase this helps:

Thanks.

If your ultimate goal is to get Jellybean on your phone, check the development section of this subforum. There are numerous stable and wonderful JB roms (AOKP Milestone 6, Liquid Smooth, CM10).
To get back to your stock ROM, download it from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/koo...d.zip/download
Then, go into recovery (NOT odin), and flash the rom.

That link doesn't work, it says cannot find page. Also, my phone is currently not rooted, does it have to be rooted to flash from recovery? if not what do I do to flash from recovery? I know how to get into recovery, but after that do I use 'apply update from external storage'? Do I have to wipe the cache first?
Thanks.
PS: I just want to be able to get back to stock for now. At least until I learn more about flashing Roms. There is still lots for me to learn, like kernels, radios, Nightly's for official Roms, or even how to properly flash a rom without feeling lost. If I know a way to get back to stock comfortably, It will give me more reason to try some other Roms (once I learn how).

Here is a working link to the stock Koodo ROM: http://sourceforge.net/projects/koodostock/files/KOODO_SGH-T989D_Stock_Signed.zip/download
Are you running a custom ROM right now or your stock ROM? If you're running a custom ROM, it should come with root privileges. If you are running the stock ROM, you can just back it up instead of needing to download the zip from sourceforge. This guide will help you get rooted: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/. After rooting, get into recovery mode (if you can't get the button combinations to work, there is an app. called quick boot which reboots you into recovery/bootloader/etc). If you don't have a recovery or it's corrupt, download ROM manager from google play, and choose the 'install clockwork recovery'. Reboot to recovery to make sure it works, then uninstall rom manager (it's been known to cause bugs if you use it for other things - and I'd recommend other recoveries such as TWRP but it's a bit more advanced). From your recovery's screen, there should be a backup option. Make a complete backup and name it something appropriate. To flash a ROM, download it and put it on your storage drive. Reboot to recovery, and go to wipe. Wipe your data (factory reset), and system (only really need to wipe data in most cases, but be safe). To flash the custom ROM now (or flash the default ROM I just linked), there should be an option to 'install zip from sd card' or something similar. Choose that, browse to your ROM and install it. After installing, go to wipe and wipe your cache+dalvik cache, then reboot. There are several beginner guides sticked in the development forum, along with explanation of terms like radio/kernel/nightly/etc.

Thanks a ton... Worked perfectly! I'm hoping it will connect to Kies once again.. I'll let you know if it works.
Unfortunately, I still can't connect to Kies.. It just sits at the Loading status (for like 10-15 mins). But At least I don't have all of the T-mobile apps and stuff anymore!

[Q] Stuck samsung screen even after odin stock

Hey guys hopefully you can help me. I was rooted for like 3 or 4 months now and have had not many problems or not anything I couldn't fix my self. My phone gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen anytime I reboot. I have tried different roms, different kernels, I even odin back to stock. I was using TWRP 6.0 then reverted back to TWRP 5.2 to see if that was causing the problem. Still have problems. I am going to re download the stock tar to see if it was a bad download but Odin checks the md5 and says it was good. Odin says passed every time also. Odin version is 3.07.
I get a error before and when trying to wipe dalvic cashe. I can wipe reg cash no problem. I think my phone is not mounting the internal storage when it reboots. I could be way off but need help asap. If I format super wipe with twrp then restart twrp and then factory reset I can install or restore a rom some times but still cant restart the phone. Any hope would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT
I wanted to edit my previous commet. LiquidSmooth seems to be running fine. So TW roms and GE roms **** up on my phone when I restart. so is it the internal systems when I have TW roms. I think it has something to do with partictions messing around maybe.
I like TW roms and want to continue to use them... Thank you

Get into recovery and do a factory reset, it is a must after you odin back to stock. Make sure you are also using a tmo kernel.
Thanks you

I got this problem a few days ago and found some topic including this one. You should check it out.
Well, what worked for me was Odin to stock firmware, root again, install recovery then custom rom. Now it's working fine. Try to downloading it again to see if it works. I downloaded mine from here, rooted and recovery it using this one.

+1 to what he said. I bet if you go into the stock recovery after odin flashing it will say something like cannot mount /data partition. Factory reset there, and it should fix that and make it mountable. (Its important to use the stock recovery factory reset after the odin, don't flash a custom recovery right after flashing)

This was incredibly helpful. I had the same issue. Thank you.
This is also applicable to the Verizon Wireless model.

[Q] Stuck In Recovery With NO ROOT???

So I was able to use Odin to flash over a custom rom and do a rooting method (Probably screwed up somewhere) it installed SuperSU. Super SU stopped working and i updated it and thought nothing of it since I could get to my Recovery. I made a nandroid and formatted system, cache, etc. I tried to flash over Task650's AOKP and the original stock rom. I have 3 different AOKP roms and the stock rom. I have tried to use a different recovery and everytime I do it wont let me flash roms so I'm stuck. It looks like my Recoveries see that there is no root access. how can i fix this?

[Q] [NOOB] Flashing new ROM from stock GB27 ROM

I've been running CM11 nightlies for a while now, but recently decided to switch back to the dreaded touchwiz, as some apps weren't operating correctly. I used CWMR to restore the backup I had made previous to installing CWM. Booting up revealed many processes failing during the setup process, as well as the absence of the keyboard. Being a bit noobish, I installed a stock rom/recovery, hoping that would fix the issues. It did not. It stalls at "Just a sec..." before Setup Wizard quits and it loops indefinitely. Problem is I now can't flash a new rom or restore. I've tried installing cwm with no luck since, but take this with a grain of salt as I was admittedly a bit panicky during. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So are you still looking to restore or find any method to have your device boot up again...?

Yes. I've had no luck the past few days with it. Might give up on it if I can't get it working.

Head to rwilco12's website and under downloads for the Galaxy S II Sprint SPH-D710, Download the Odin OneClick of the stock rooted GB27, You can choose between deodexed or odexed, pick your poison, note that choosing Full Restore wipes internal and No_Data preserves internal storage.
Put device in download mode and restore.
Once you've fully restored, Download AGAT's gb27 source recovery and flash via recovery flasher on device or Odin on PC. Start up into recovery and try restoring your GB27 ROM again. I remember there being a guide when flashing back and forth from cm to tw and there was a specific way you had to restore it, I've lost the thread but still looking for it for you.
But until then, try the Odin one click method and see where it flies there
