[Q] Wipe data & cache via odin???

Hey guys, I was having some trouble with a rom and switched my recovery to CWM6.0.1.2 and it's no longer booting recovery and CM is not working either just getting boot errors with gapps and setup crashes.
Basically I can't do anything with my phone unless I can wipe it and flash stock or correctly flash CM. Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to wipe my rom through odin? Currently downloading stock just incase that may help me down the road.

Where is that stock rom? Looking for it

Download CWM from my signature and flash it through Odin.
Gapps crashing means you flashed a mismatched version for your rom.

That might have happened, I got CWM working and flashed my old rom with a lot of issues, specifically stock apps crashing. Going to flash full stock via odin and start from scratch. Really stoked to try a 4.2 CM AOKP rom :good:
Are there files I can manually delete/modify to bring my device fully back to stock?

Delete or wipe via recovery is highly recommened and flash via odin. You cant do to all system files and delete them individually; thats too much of work.

Everything is golden thanks guys

Get the latest version of your recovery (CWM or TWRP). If you still get it, make sure you have the up-to-date bootloaders.
TWRP = GooManager
CWM = ROM Manager

If on cwm
Yay for twrp!

same problem
looks like I am having the same problem. I have been running liquid smooth since RC5 and my latest is the 4.2.2 version rom 2.3.
this problem began with attempting to flash the 2.4 version and persists with the 2.7 and 2.8.
so please talk me through the latest CWM and is this something I need to flash with odin?
thank you.

Hummm I installed TWRP . but get the same thing when trying a rom.
Note to others switching to TWRP from CWM don't foget to do a backup before doing anything in TWRP, since the CMW backups you had before won't show up in it....
UPDATE: It worked ! Was able to instal new CWM with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170635 and ROM installed flawlessly after, WOohoo

[Q] Wind SGH-T999V CM Help

Okay, I'm new to Android and I heard this is the go-to spot for help. Anyway, this is what happened to my Wind SGH-T999V. Mind you i'm VERY new to this rooting thing
I rooted my S3 by using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and i used odin3 v1.85 and it worked. I downloaded a root checker and it said i'm rooted. Then i put CM 10.1.2 on my sd card and wanted to install it via TWRP recovery but it gave me an error that said "No MD5 filed found" or something along those line.
I then tried to use different versions of twrp ( twrp 2.6.1.0) and a different CM (10.1.1) but i still got the same "no Md5 found" error. So, a friend then told me to ditch twrp all-together and download CWM instead. So, I download recovery clockwork touch 6.0.3.7 and put it on my phone.
THEN, i tried to go back to the recovery boot place, but after that small blue font saying "recovery boot", my phone goes black. I dont see the old twrp recovery or the clockwork one.
I just really want to have Cyanogenmod on my phone, i've been having a hard time. Help please?

Just disable the md5 check, most or the ROM files are not going to include a hash file, but will flash fine. TWRP or CWM will error out if the flash fails.
Also, it sounds like your recovery install failed, just reinstall using ODIN and a file from @DocHoliday77 (I recommend TWRP over CWM, but it is just preference)

It's already unchecked.

Install TWRP and try again, should work without issue. Also, redownload the ROM file, preferably the latest version, 10.1.3RC2 (I think)

Don't use RC2. If you want stable, use 10.1.2. get.cm, filter it for your device. I think Doc also has them in his signature.

http://get.cm/?device=d2tmo&type=stable
"Stable" is relative, the RCs are just as good.

You need to edit the install script because your device isn't supported. Or you can download Doc's version.

Actually I'm pretty sure cm includes the T999V, but I'm betting the firmware needs to be updated.
Look in Aerowinders Sig for the links to the firmware. In that OP you should find a link to the thread with the T999V firmware.
Or, you can go to my T999L thread and get the Rom there. But w/o updated firmware it may be buggy.

CM10.1.3 is now Stable and will be the last 4.2.2 build. It should has the all of the Asserts, including the MB7 one. Also, update your TWRP, the current is 2.6.3.0.

I want to install CM so bad but after reading lot of threads n comments, I am scared. there are many terms used, i even dont know like flash kernel, OTI, radio etc... i just know about rooting, recovery and ROM... so i have decided to install PAC man instaed its a combination of couple roms and is most successful and stable..

You should read the sticky threads, and use xdas search for terms or definitions anytime you run into stuff you aren't familiar with.

Im still here having problems booting 4.4.2

In all my previous posts requesting help of why my phone wont boot 4.4.2 ive never gotten a clear answer or any troubleshooting steps.
when i flash 4.4.2 with any recovery it goes to rom logo and doesnt boot past that. the only rom ive been successful with flashing is omni rom. whats the difrence between omni rom and any other regular 4.4.2 rom/
all i want to do is use carbon kk i had 4.4.2 working once before i flashed 4.3 and the wifi fix and after i flashed the wifi fix my phone stopped booting into 4.4.2 ever since ive been trying to get a odin wifi fix removal for my phone. i want to see if that will fix it but no one will help
also in cwm recovery upon wiping
you get an android_secure not found or somthing like that

The android secure issue you see is actually nothing. It is stating it cant find that directory on you sdext partition which you dont have unless you partition your sdcard.
Now why you cant boot 4.4 is kind of odd. I have gone between all versions for our phone aosp and touch wiz without any problems. I would suggest installing twrp and then running billards back to stock mc2 with counter reset (located in development section). Make sure you read the op for that thread and follow his directions. After flashing that before rebooting flash a root.zip (dont use twrp's root). Once your booted you can use odin or an app to flash cwm or philz (6.07.9 recommended) then you can flash any 4.4 you want. Just remember to wipe/format your internal sdcard (data/media) before going to 4.4.

My phone won't let me format the internal sd card it seems like Its locked or something also I've done back to stock 5 times and no luck

Which recovery and how are you trying to format internal?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Do what jlmancuso said. This will format your internal sd as well. Just go back to stock unrooted MC2 and don't bother with flashing the root till its back up and running stock unrooted. Once you do that use the Samsung Note 2 Toolkit (version 2 not 3) and choose the ALL IN ONE Root,recovery, busy box, etc option and choose the twrp recovery not clockwork. Once you get it rooted and on twrp recovery, immediately flash Phil's recovery. 6.07 version (or whichever version that has already been recommended). Then wipe everything as usual including dalvic, cache, internal sd. Then flash stock rooted MK4 in lorjay's thread. then use ODIN on your PC to flash the wifi fix. Do a prl and update profile while on stock rooted MK4. Once you are at this point you can then flash any KK rom and it should work fine. just make sure you set your phone down and let it complete the initial boot as it sometimes takes a few minutes to boot. If this does not work then you're screwed LOL. Good luck.

The red additional steps are unnecessary and make little sense. Otherwise, yup.
I'm of the hunch-ish opinion that it is the "wifi fix" that causes lots of these problems in the first place. Most everyone who flashes 4.4.2 builds and that has issues usually share the common thread of having that "wifi fix" on their phone....and that is a hunch, yes, purely on my part. In any case MK4 (radio, ROM, etc) is in no way needed to flash 4.4.2 builds.

I Have done every flash to stock with counter reset. and no matter how many times ive tried it still bootloops i need a DIRECT WIFI FIX REMOVAL

There is no such thing. All the wifi fix is a flash of the param.bin which is in the mk4 odin file. Also those who took the ota have it. It in no way effects aosp!
Are you flashing anything besides the 4.4 rom?

Are you also performing the data wipe and factory reset AFTER FLASHING THE ROM AND GAPPS? Many miss this required step.

[Q] Soft Bricked my phone, have no idea what to try next.

Hey Guys,
I just got a new Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 in the mail and I immediately started to install Cyanogenmod. I have installed it on two S3's in the past, but this time I had no idea about the new bootloader problems after Android 4.3 (I think?). I got CWM touch installed with no problems via Odin, but when I tried to use the Unified Android Toolkit thing to root and stuff I got stuck in a boot loop. The phone would not boot past the Samsung logo, not the animated one with the purple light, but the one that shows the phone model.
I have tried everything I could think of and all that I tried to google for the past couple hours to no avail. I stupidly did not make a backup of my stock ROM, and I couldn't find a stock 4.4.2 ROM except this one that says it is stock but with root. I flashed that ROM and then it booted past the Samsung logo and the animated one, but is now stuck on the AT&T logo. I looked up that problem and couldn't find any real information on that problem except one thread where it said I should install Kies and let it do the Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation option. That failed and then my phone would only turn on straight to download mode.
I reflashed CWM and that worked so I thought that if I tried to install Cyanogenmod 11 it might work because that ROM is 4.4.1 or higher (Again, I think?). Now it's back into the loop where it makes it past the samsung stuff but then gets stuck on the AT&T logo. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks,

Did you try wiping cache, data, and Dalvik in CWM?
Did you try installing CM10.2 from CWM?

Yes, I have tried clearing stuff in both CWM and stock recovery. Im not sure about the Dalvik one though, unless that is cleared when you do factory reset and clear cache I didnt do it. I can try flashing CM10.2 ( which I would prefer to have over 11), but my understanding is that my boot loader will not let me install anything that uses any lower versions of android, but I'll give it a shot and let you know.

Ok guys,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 and when I put it on my sd card and tried to install it with CWM It threw and ton of errors that look like this.
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCDLK3" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCDMG3" || etc etc.
Im not super experienced with programming, but im guessing that CM10.2 can find any bootloader it can use? Im not sure what my bootloader is if that is the case, but I can boot into recovery so I must have something, right?
Anything I can do?
Thanks
Jemimacakes

You should try flashing cm10.2 just to see if you can get your phone to boot. By booting the phone, you can determine your bootloader and modem.
Edit: okay, cm10.2 doesn't work. Are you running the latest version of cwm? Maybe try twrp?

Hey,
I did have the latest version of CWM, but I tried it on TWRP and got the same errors

Hey,
I have now tried both custom recoveries and gotten the same errors on both, and I made sure I had the latest version of each. Can I flash the firmware from 4.3 and then install CM10.2? Will that work? I really don't want to hard brick my phone.
EDIT: I installed ADB to find out what my bootloader was, and it returned that I had the NE4 version. Is there a way to get the MJB version safely so I can install 10.2?

At this point I just want it to boot up to anything, so if that is easier to do than get CM to work then im completely open.

You cannot go back to MJB from NE4.
How did you try to install CM the first time? Did you use the install manager or a custom recovery?

The last time I installed CM on a i747 was back when the phone was on 4.1.1. The second phone I installed it on was the international version of the phone, also on 4.1.1. I used a custom recovery both times. I bet if I would have used the new installer on this phone it would have worked, but I was trying some other stuff because I was curious and ended up breaking it.

IT BOOTED!
I reflashed the stock firmware + root, reinstalled stock recovery and wiped everything I got it to boot into its stock ROM. From this point, where do I go? Will the CM installer work or will it just brick it again?
Thanks

I would copy a custom rom such as cm11 to the internal and external sd card.
I would then download the latest version of philz touch for the d2lte. Get Odin 3.07. Put the phone in download mode, open Odin, uncheck all options except f reset time. Flash philz, when you see reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, insert battery, boot into recovery, create a nandroid of your current rom, flash cm11, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe dalvik, reboot.

Which version of CM11 should I get. On the site I see that the last version of CM11 for the I747 (d2att) was released on feburary 16, is this one based on 4.4.2?
EDIT: Also, I should copy CM11 to both the internal and external storage? Why is this?

You should be using roms made for the d2lte.
I suggest both because cwm or twrp may see one but not the other. This doesn't usually happen but I am always paranoid about something going wrong as flashing always involves risk and I like to minimize risks and be prepared for disaster.

Alright, but I have the at&t version of the phone. Are they both compatible with one another?
EDIT: OK, correct me if im wrong, but my new understanding is that CM now has releases for general versions of phones, so the most recent update of CM for my phone is the d2lte, not d2att?

Before unified builds for the msm8960 were started, the i747 was known as the d2att and the i747m was known as the d2can.

Hello again,
Thanks a ton Audit, my phone is up and running with the latest cyanogen nightly! A recap for anyone who might come across with a similar problem.
1. I installed a ROM using an older version of android onto a phone with the new bootloader (NE4), softbricking it.
2. I installed the stock ROM + root from this link using Clockworkmod
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358550126
3. Installed the stock Recovery from this link and did wiped my data and both caches
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23681161096070493
4. I rebooted the phone and waited at the AT&T logo for a while, and it booted up normally!
5. I installed the most recent version of Philz Touch Recovery for the d2lte, made a nandroid for safety, and then install the latest nightly of CM11 for the d2lte.
6. It works!
Thanks again to Audit for helping me out!

I'm glad it all worked and I was able to help in some way.
It's great that you posted your solution in case it helps other people in a similar situation.

I think i'm in a similar place - a few questions. You used cwm to install the stock ROM? I thought you needed to use odin. Also, why did you need to install the stock recovery (and did you just flash the .zip in cwm)? Also, that stock rom you linked to is 4.4, right? Would that work if I was on 4.3?

Before flashing anything, I suggest you confirm your bootloader and modem. Flashing the wrong combination of modem and bootloader could hard brick your phone.
If your phone does not boot, try flashing Philz Touch for the d2lte and flash the latest cm11. Hoepfully, this will get your phone running so you can confirm the bootloader and modem. CM11 does not flash a modem or bootloader.
