Hi
I was flashing back to Stock from task650 to fix my gps. Well something blew up and when the phone reboots the screen goes black but I hear the AT&T start-up tune. Essentially I can't get to enable USB debugging to reflash. I can get to download or recovery, but there are no files to recover<?> and busybox never got installed.
What do I do now?
Do you have the stock recovery now? If so, try going in there and resetting to defaults. That helps sometimes.
Otherwise, you may need to Odin back to stock if you still want to go stock.

Yes I have stock recovery. Odin is of no use because it hangs waiting for the USB debug to respond. And i can't turn it on because the screen is black and I can't navigate
Do you have a micro sd card? If so, throw a rom on there. If you want to go back to stock, there' a flashable stock zip at the bottom of post #2 in the link in my signature. Under the emergency toolkit section. Flash that, turn on use debugging, do your gps fix and continue on with the task release

Thanks. I created an emergency tool kit on an SD, I wiped data, wiped cache and Davlik and formated system. Flashed the stock rom. When I rebooted it now hung at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen.
How do I get out of this mess?

I've wiped data and cache several times, and format/system. I've even tried to flash CWM 6.0.3.1 and I get a status 7 error. Nothing is taking.I get signature failures.
I re downloaded all the files figuring they were corrupted. Nothing doing. I need some real help, because this is beyond my abilities to figure out.,
Now I've got a red triangle showing up in recovery.

i dont know why some of these things are not working correctly for you. you're seeing the red triangle because you have stock recovery now from the stock firmware zip. you cannot flash anything in stock recovery nor can you format /system. what happens when you boot up after a factory reset and cache wipe?
a couple of your options include either using odin to flash the stock firmware back onto your device or to use odin to flash a custom recovery back and make a move from there.

When it rains it pours. Now I can't get into recovery. I get the empty battery graphic cycling on and off, and its very warm to the touch. I think the battery is not charging.
I tried using Odin and flashed a stock rom but I kept getting verification errors and status 7 errors. Things just are not taking. I fear I've got a hard brick and I don't know what to do to fix it.
I appreciate your help
aaaaand let the questions roll:
you got verification errors in odin? and after flashing the firmware, i'm assuming you then flashed cwm and that's where you were getting the status 7 errors?
at what point did it all go off? i need to know what order you did all of these things.
can you still get into download mode?

No, it won't go into download. I initially flashed stock rom, but I don't think I wiped anything. That was probably the big mistake. I used something called Samsung S3 QCom tool kit to do an initial flash. It never failed me before. And I also flashed a CWM.
I followed your advice and made a emergency SD kit and flashed from there. I did a clean flash several times. Things just never worked and I kept getting those error messages. Then it just got more difficult to get into download. Now it just flashes a drained battery
it might indeed be drained. leave it plugged in for a while and report back.
you were getting the error/status 7 messages after you flashed cwm back on it likely because the cwm wasnt up-to-date.
what was the last thing you tried before it stopped working altogether?
It gets really hot if I leave it plugged in. But it seems like I can get into recovery again. The last thing I flashed was CMW 6.0.3.1. But what is on it now is CMW 5.5.0.4
actually, what you're saying is the last thing you flashed was cwm 5.5.0.4, just via odin not cwm.
if the phone was in my hands, i would:
flash the cwm 6.0.3.1 zip, select advanced and reboot recovery. now you will be in the updated cwm recovery.
perform a full wipe: wipe data, cache, dalvik, format /system, format /data
flash rom and gapps. if you're going to stick with tasks, use the 4/23 release. i'm on that with no feature or stability issues.
wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.
give it a few minutes to boot up.

Well I think I managed it!. First I tried to install an update d/l'ed from Dropbox and that did nothing. Then I flashed an old .tar that was a rooted stock and it rebooted!
I tried editing the updater-script but I couldn't getit to save the changes properly.
Well I will now re flash the RM and CWM and hope for the best
Thanks for all your help, greatly appreciated

It's because you formatted your system and it has nothing to boot into now. A factory data reset should fix it.

If the system has been wiped a factory reset wont fix it. Its not like a factory reset re-installs what has been wiped

If you have a cwm/twrp flashable rom on your internal/external sdcard or if you have
a nandroid back and if you still have access to get into CWM/TWRP recovery then
why not simply restore a backup or flash a rom?
If you don't have any backups or cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms in your phone
then simply remove the external sdcard and put it into an adaptor and plug it into
your computer, download a cwm/twrp flashable rom and copy it to the sdcard.
Then put the sdcard back in the phone, go into cwm/twrp recovery and flash it.
If you cannot get into cwm/twrp recovery for some god knows what reason you will need
to Odin flash the stock rom in download mode to get the phone running properly again.
Good luck with it!

Trying that as i type. Performed a wipe and reboot'd to DL mode for a stock odin flash. Not optimistic though
any reason why this WOULDNT work?
EDIT: No luck. Went past the samsung screen initially to android stock recovery to finish flash...once it rebooted back to stuck at samsung screen!
EDIT: SOLVED. checked Phone EFS Clear in ODIN...then flash stock. BREEZE
Okay so to start off I had RSL14 Hyperdrive installed on the rom, ended up trying a new one and when going to wipe data, cache, dalvik, system as usual i ran into an odd error. I am using TWRP recovery and when going to wipe data, the phone just restarted, so i rebooted into recovery and tried again same thing.....which was odd. So i reinstalled twrp and then tried again same thing. Then I decided to install CWM 6.0.1.2 and it wipes data and everything fine, but when going to wipe cache, dalvik, or data it sometimes states E: unknown volume for path {/sd-ext}. On top of that everyonce in a while it says E: unable to format unsafe partition?
Please help its causing me problems and I am a flashaholic.

Unsafe partition usually means your internal partitions got corrupted somehow.
I would suggest to flash a stock ROM via ODIN or ADB. You could try MSkips toolbox if your comfortable using it-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488

If I flash the stock recovery via odin will this fix the partition? I'd really hate to have to do that but reflashed both recoveries a couple different times and like the rom im currently on but if it must be then I guess I have no choice.

Hi,
Few months ago I rooted my Galaxy Wonder (Malaysia version) to CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.4 and flashed to a Custom ROM. Now I wanted to flash back my phone back to Stock Rom because the Custom ROM is very battery consuming.
Now, when I try to flash the Stock ROM in CWM recovery.. the error shows "E: Can't open /sdcard/I8150DXLM3_I8150OLBD1_XME.zip (bad)" then Installation aborted. I tried to download a few Stock ROM from different sources but still give me the same error when I wanted to flash it in CWM Recovery.
Can anyone here please tell me how to solve this problem? Do I need to unroot my phone (flash back to Stock Recovery) before I can flash back to Stock ROM? If yes, how to flash back to Stock Recovery?
Your help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hope to see you all to reply me

First start up takes up to 5 min.
But if you get bootloop, go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset
Sorry for my english
first, download your country stock rom
after download, extract this file
download odin and samsung usb driver
flashing frimware via ODIN, wait until succed, if stuck, go to recovery, wipe data and cache. finis

You need to do a clean installation/ pristine. since it will leave some custom ROM files in ur internal storage. i always do (in CWM) wipe data / factory reset, format system and format /sdcard0 (internal storage) before installing any custom/ stock ROM.

Try flash this Rom which has root access built into it
Also, I recommend you use TWRP recovery (flashable zip) instead since it's UI and features are better than CWM(I think the author had discontinued the project)

Did you do a clean flash ? (Factory reset then flash the Rom)
Or try wipe the internal SD Card (backup your data first) then flash the Recovery Zip (first) then the Rom (Second), finally the Gapps (third)
