So I was able to lean how to root my phone. The I decided I would load a custom rom that I got from one of the rom tools that was suggested here. I loaded it, it got stuck on the loading screen. So I tired to use philz to do a recover and it says there is nothing to recover. every stock rom I get on this form will not load. the only option I have is to load the zip file to my sd card and then try to load it from the sd card. so now what? right now im completely out of a phone

i was quite tired last night and wanted to put more info in the post here on what i did. So this custome Rom I cant remeber the name of it but it had to do with the little android dressed up as a viking, i got as a recommentdation from the applicatio cybermoid or something to that nature. So when it attempted to load the rom it when to the boot up screen and just sat there, So i figure I would do one of the clock work mods recoverys that I had on my sd card and it failed to load. So at one point Philz asked me if i wanted to wipe the current rom and replace it with a new one. So i said yes figring that I could load the stock rom and it said that loaded. So last night I stayed up and tried to load 3 different roms and they all failed to load. Im wondering an this point if there is anything that can be loaded. I do remeber at one point it came up with a screen that said oden mode and said voided warrenty. i dont have a warrenty so i disregarded that. I will try the rom that you have suggesst tonight, I really hope that I can get some type of ROM on there. Beacase right now it just goes to the galaxy note 2 screen and sticks there.
Is there a manual key sequence or command line that can be run for my skipsoft tool kit that i used to root it to automatically turn on the us debugging? Also remember seeing a message that states that the root was removed. I think in in a hot pile of dog poop and this point, Any other suggestion if that rom doesnt load???
Thanks

Ok so drop the ROM on the SD card, obviously plug it in go to recovery mode via the volume up/home/power key then selected it SD card and it sould load automatically. This is going to sound stupid but the ROM has to be zipped on the SD and not unzipped correct? If I get a error meaage I will post it here. I will probley be doing this around 5 pm or 6 as I am at work at the moment.
Sorry to be such a newbie..lol rooting it was easy if and when I get back into it I will put the full name of the ROM that blew it up because I dont want to have anyone else to go through this.

so for this one http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip it loaded it and then got suck on the main galaxy note 2 screen.
For http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...lteatt.zip.md5 it failed. Re Ran ]http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip and worked but before I rebooted it it states at the top that the root is missing or broke. rebooted and still the same stuck on the samsung screen
Ok im goig to go with im screwed on this one as Ive been all over this form looking looking at how to fix this phone. the only thing I can get into is the philz and do a data reset/ wipe the dalvik cache and load the philz touch recovery then when I try to install any zips beyond that it fails so at this point I have no idea where I am going and if I am doing it properly. when trying to install the ODEN-UCUCNE 5 stock-no recovey zip it finds it, opens it and then fails.

No do everything on the phone don't use Odin so in the recovery go to mounts and storage and
wipe the system, data, preload, cashe, boot, and sd card but not the sd1 (external sd) and reboot the recovery in power options and hit reboot recovery and hit no when it says something about supersu root process then when it reboots just hit install zip and find the rom you downloaded

5) when to power options and hit reboot to recovery
then it asks me if I want to restore the recovery settings from the card or no - I said yes
then it asks me if I want to apply the root from /system/xbix/su- I said no
it rebooted back to philz touch
now what??? I assume install rom zip..
what is the correct ROM download that I should use... ive downloaded so many if you can point me to the right link that would be steller

I did the root and I have the WiMAX setting and Wifi Tethering is working somewhat but I cant figure out how to flash my rom..I dl'd DamageControl 3.2 but i dont know what to really do now...When i try use ROM Manager I get the error..."an error occurred while attempting to run priviledge commands!" I'm just lost as to what i do now to start using a different rom
Bump.....ANYONE?!
So the following questions would need to be answered:
1) What version of stock were you running before you rooted? (i.e. 1.47, 1.32)
2) What root method did you use?
3) What recovery do you have?
4) If you have wireless tether working than you would need to have installed a custom kernel, which one did you install?
I'm sorry that no one else has tried to assist you in this, however, next time please post this in Q&A as this is for development purposes.

Well when i try to go into recover mode it first gives me a black screen that shows a cell phone and a triangle with a exclamation point then i hold the volume up keyand press power and it says "e can't open cache recovery command" n then takes me to a screen where it says
Android system recovery <2e>
use d-pad to highlight; center to select.
reboot system now

Okay during the process of rooting my device, ebo 4g, v1.3x
I ran into the same problem, you have to or I'm sure on this forum just do some research,.....
In RA, dalvik wipe, cache wipe and phone wipe. Then I flashed the rom via sd card, using clockwork custom recovery. If you used Simple root 3 click process you should have clock work.Via step 2.
Rename the Rom to update.zip and place in root sdcard.
Adb reboot recovery
Update.zip from SD card
Finnish do full system wipe and dalvik cache.
Make sure you are nand protected before flashing.
Via step 3
I don't know if this mighhelp just some recent stuff I ran into. Rooted my g1 a WHILE back. Hope these noobietips help lol

Do this! It's the fastest and easiest way.
Once you get 1.47 and singed sigs then do DC ROM again.

adb reboot recovery just reboots your phone into recovery mode. once your in that do all the wipes i think its 3 dlvk, data and something else. power off the phone once more then boot to recovery again. now one of the options is flash from zip go there and you should find whatever rom your trying to flash. also you should be putting your zipped rom files in the root directory of your sdcard. on a side not if your on a mac dont download them with safari use firefox or something else

Errr... maybe? Superuser permission, etc. certainly doesn't come with stock. It depends on the ROM you installed. Here's one way to find out...
Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information and check the "Build Number". AFAIK it's impossible to install DamageControl without full root (I tried to myself before fixing my root and going to Fresh 1.0.1) so if that's what you have I'd say you're good.
There may be a better way but that's all I know.

Hi everyone,
After much debating, I decided to update my HTC Desire's (from Telus) radio + rom. I had it rooted, installed ROM Manager, which led to my problem as i believe. I did a back up of the original ROM using the said application. I then proceeded to update the Radio to 32.43.00.32. This went fine. However, I then proceeded to install a ROM "[ROM] Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]". I placed it in the SD root directory, and proceeded to recover using instructions provided by slimdizzy.
However, It failed to install the ROM and produced an error of:
E: Failure at line 72:
set perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/su
At this point, the stock rom on the phone has been deleted, and if I try to reboot, it keeps taking me back to hboot screen, or just a blank HTC screen, which then keeps rebooting.
I believe I have messed up very badly, and I was hoping if someone could help me out to at least just help me restore back to my original stock ROM if anything.
Thank you very much ahead of time!
If you can get into recovery, flash a different ROM?
.
.
Try running a RUU file as according to the version and build you had prior to this flash...
this might help:

if indeed you can acquire recovery access its best you try flashing another rom...

Agreed. Did you use the modded recovery image like I posted about? If so boot into recovery and select partitions menu. Then go to mount USB drive or something. that will mount the sd card as a drive on your computer. Copy a new rom onto the card then unmount from the recovery menu and reboot the phone back into recovery. Select install zip from sd card and flash the new rom you just copied there.
This should work.
And remember, as long as you can boot into recovery, you are not bricked.
Keep the thread updated with your progress.

I believe I should be awarded the Darwin Award. I panicked too early and stopped thinking .
But having said that, thank you for responding so promptly. I was able to restore a ROM back onto it, LeeDroid Mod, after my 3rd try. First, I re-downloaded the ROM I initially wanted, but it still would not work.
On the second try I tried to put on the DeFrost ROM, but that didn't seem to go past the loading nexus logo, even after waiting +20 minutes, at which point I got a bit nervous, but this LeeDroid ROM seems to be working fine, for now.
At this point I will try to restore my original ROM using ROM Manager if possible, or go with "[ROM]RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8" as posted by Football.
Thank you once again to everyone who responded!

So, I am pretty new to rooting. But i really effed up. I rooted my phone, got rom manager, and was having a great time. I tried to download a rom, it didnt work and the screen just got stuck on htc evo 4g all white screen. So, retardedly i decided it would be a good idea if i formatted everything in the boot screen, including my memory card. Is there anyway to fix this, or am i soh?
If your recovery is not there when you boot into it, you'll have to flash another one.
If you can get to recovery, just wipe everything and flash a different ROM already on your SD card, or put one on there through the recovery menu
P.S. Already answered this in the other thread you posted.
Yea sorry, i realized that other one was posted in the wrong section...ssooooo...im a little dumb at this....can you kinda give me a step by step...because i mean everything on the phone is wiped out...i went to town on the formatting...i reformatted everything...so now my phone boots into fastboot...i can get to recovery, but since theres nothing on my sd card it doesnt much.
Since you can get into recovery, go to USB toggle (something like that) and mount your sd to your computer.
Put a ROM on the root of your sd card
- unmount the sd
- Wipe everything
- Flash the rom
forgive me for my slowness...
when you say on the root of my sd card...you basically mean just on the sd card right?
And should I just download the original rom that comes stock on the phone?
Yes, in no folders
and no, choose whatever
I recommend a kommydroid rom, they are very good
alright great...so i'm gonna give it a try in a couple of hours...is it ok if I pm you with any problems I'm having since you seem to have a good handle on this stuff?
also...when you say wipe everything what do you mean by that exactly?
Wipe cache...wipe dalvik cache...
Drag and drop rom zip file to sd card, choose install zip from sd with recovery...then choose "choose zip file" or something to that effect. Then pick the zip that you dropped on your sd card. Choose "install"...let it do it's thing. Once that is complete, choose reboot and you should be fine. As long as you can get to your recovery your phone is fine.
He means(Data,cache,dalvik) at least twice. You are using Amo-ra?
nah, i'm using the one that comes stock with the phone...i can't remember the name, and now i feel like a retard since i cant remember what its called.

Hello all just bought a new Samsung Galaxy SII from craigslist already rooted with 4.0.3 Jedi Mind Trick. After reading for what seems 4-5 hours i have been trying to put together how to properly without bricking switching it to 10.0.0 Stable as i use to use Cyanogenmod 2-3 years ago on my devices. Seem alot of things have changed and there is a cluster**** of stuff out there now. If you could direct me to a how to or show me how to do it i would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks all!
Assuming you have nothing personal to back up that you can't just download from google play or your google account again: download cyanogen 10 and it's gapps. reboot into recovery mode. factory reset, wipe data, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. pick the install zip from sd card or so option, browse to cyanogen, then install gapps the same way. wipe dalvik again and reboot.
I was thinking of doing this myself JMT to CM10. I didn't think there was anything special to do same as flashing from any other ROM to CM10. If there is a special requirement I would think they'd post in in with the ROM post information.

honestly - i backed up everything to my external and then formatted the internal when i went from TW to AOSP for the last time. well worth it. nice folder clean up and then you can just manually take all the stuff you want back.
and you should just be able to odin on cwm or twrp - then flash the rom of your choice.

and you should just be able to odin on cwm or twrp - then flash the rom of your choice.

so I attempted to install it and got stuck on the boot logo for 20 minutes or so. So I bricked it lol... Anyway I just flashed it with Odin to 2.3.5 but the link to download file for root capabilities is broken. What can i do? Do i have to go to ics first before i reattempt to go to 10.0.0?

If you get stuck at the boot logo, it's called a soft brick. You don't have to use ODIN or go back to ICS. Just make sure the ROM zip you downloaded isn't corrupt (check the size/m5d if possible), wipe everything, and reboot into recovery to try installing again.

You won't fail. Follow the guidelines step by step. Print it out, make notes. Anything. Read. The step by step guide works... that'll get you with cwm. Then, you can flash the zip you will put on your phone... either a SU zip or just a rooted ROM. Follow flashing instructions.
Just realized - you'll be way better off if, once you have cwm on, just format the internal ONCE YOU HAVE A ROM ON AN EXTERNAL SD CARD. then flash CM10. THEN you'll have a fresh AOSP install.

Had 2.3.5 - rooted via odin and have recovery 5.2.6 - did everything in proper order and wiping properly.

Update your recovery to twrp or cwm 6+ and don't use dark side scripts

Please excuse my harshness but this is not as hard as many make it seem. I would say if it takes you more than a couple attempts maybe it is just not for you. I only say this because I would hate to see you mess up your phone. Now if you think a bootloop is a brick then we need to do things at a slower pace with you.
If you already have your phone rooted then
1.download goomanager from the playstore and then
2.open it up and allow it to grant permission from CM
3.hit menu button while goo manager is open
4.click on install OpenRecoveryScript
5.let it do its thing
6.reboot into your new TWRP recovery
7.Wipe/Data Factory Reset
8.Flash Rom
9.Flash Gapps
10.Reboot
You can throw in a backup of files somewhere in there if you like.... Your choice

I had a bootloop when using CWM v6.0.1.5. So a friend of mine told me he had success with CWM v6.0.1.5 Touch. So I switched to the touch recovery and... SUCCESS.
Here's the link to CWM touch and non-touch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893464
A boot loop could mean a bad download or bad flash but it is most definitely NOT a bricked device. All you needed to do was get a fresh download and move it to your SD card by mounting it in recovery. Then, wipe EVERYTHING but the SD. EVERYTHING. Then flash the ROM, Gapps and whatever radio. I go from CM to AOKP to other random TW roms all the time and never have issues.
The 2 best recoveries are twrp or my favorite because I'm used to it is cwm 6.0.1.5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844637
Also if your phone boot loops don't freak out' just either reboot to see if that works out first and if not reboot into recovery. Also with these new recoveries do not use dark side scripts.
Factory reset
Format system
Format cache
Format data
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot and enjoy

Sorry for the necro on the thread, but I didn't want it to be stated I didn't look around some either.
I am going from JMT to CM and want to make sure it's as seamless as possible. I use CWM and usually usually use darkside complete wipes, but I read in a previous post not to use darkside. Is there a reason for this? I can't see why this wouldn't work as it's just a wipe.
Also I use Titanium Backup. Is it possible to backup my apps and data and restore them since its not TW any longer? I want to be able to restore as much of my data as possible and make sure I don't lose it.
P.S. - If thread necroing is not appreciated, I apologize.
Hello all-
I was just recently running CM 10.2 RC1 but had to do an install of the correct gapps as it was randomly rebooting. Well the device now is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen with the BLUE cyanogen. I have access to TWRP and am able to reflash the .zip file for CM 10.2 RC1 yet it still won't boot? I did the wipe of dalvik, cache, data and system but still no luck? The device is NOT recognized in Odin. I just want to get the phone up and running again, even if it means root is lost.
Please help!!

Do you have it put into Download Mode before you plug it into the computer for Odin to recognize it? If I had it plugged in before I put mine in download mode Odin would not want to pick it up.'

Yes it is recognized once in Download mode...sorry about that. What can I do to get it up and running? I am not new to flashing, etc so it's got me really upset that I cant get it to boot. What could possibly go wrong?
Get a sd card>download a new rom and put the rom in the sd card and flash like a normal ROM
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00023/E5R/I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 You can download that file and put it in the PDA section once you run Odin and run it from there. This will put your phone back to the Stock Rom 4.1.1 and you can restart from there if you want.

I do have an sd card. Phone isn't recognized in Windows so Im not familiar with how I can get the ROM file onto the card from the computer? Can I download the latest AT&T Stock ROM and flash it via Odin?
What your saying is flash a ROM from the external SD card?

No, with the file I told you to download you do not need to have a SD card because you can't boot into the rom you have Windows will not recognize the phone like normal to drag and drop to it. So with this file you can save it to your computer, Open Odin, put your phone into Download Mode, plug it into the computer so that Odin detects it. Then Click PDA and browse to the file you downloaded and tell it to use that file and then Run the process and it will install the original rom onto your phone.

Ok I did the process with the file you referenced. Everything succeeded in Odin with no errors. It's still stuck on just showing the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen but now without the blue cyanogen? What is wrong with this phone??

Can you get into recovery mode by any chance? If you can do that then it should be possible to do a factory reset from within Recovery Mode and possibly get you past the boot screen. If that doesn't help let me know and I will see what else I can find out for you. Also what all did you have checked and unchecked when you Ran Odin to reinstall the Stock Rom? If you had any of them other than Auto-Reboot on that may also have caused a problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686 here is a forum that will show you how to use Odin. I apologize for not remembering about telling you what to check and uncheck. But try recovery mode first and do a factory reset and if that does not work, redo the odin install this time only having Auto-Reboot checked.

Thanks man! I went back into Recovery and did a factory reset/wipe data and it finally got past that screen. Thanks again for your guidance and help. Any ideas as to what could have possibly caused the issue in the first place? I do want to re-root the device again and I am assuming my best bet is to flash a Stock ROM like you referenced with ROOT injected? What order should I follow, flashing a Stock w/Root injected...and then the Recovery of choice? Or vice-versa? What do you recommend?
Again, your timely responses were greatly appreciated. Was really worried I would have to take it to ATT.

It could have been several things that could cause the ROM to do that. I recommend that you make sure that your Bootloader is up to date and then go from there. Download the newest CWM, do a backup of your current rom so that you can flash back to it if you phone messes up. Then when you try to install a new ROM make sure you Wipe: Data then Cache, then Dalvik Cache in Advanced then Format /System. Then from there Install the new Rom, then install the correct GApps, then wipe Cache and Dalvik cache then Reboot into System. It takes messing up a few times to get it right but as long as you follow the guides pretty close and keep a good backup that you know works or keep the knowledge of how to Inject the Stock Rom to your phone when it messes up you shouldn't have much to worry about.

Sounds good. Thanks for the info. Obviously the device is not currently rooted or did the Factory Rom file you gave me have root injected? Do you have a recommended way of achieving Root with the Samsung SG3? Just installing a custom Recovery won't achieve Root, correct?
Thanks!

BTW, how can I confirm I have the most recent bootloader version? It looks like my phone's current baseband version is i747UCDLK3. I did download the boot_CWM_i747UCDMG2.zip file and put it on the internal storage. Do I just want to flash that file to update my bootloader?
Thanks again!

Yea that is the newest baseband and yea you just flash it. As far as rooting the phone and everything I recommend this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839 It has just about everything you could need to know!

Thanks for the information. The phone that has been all screwed up and the reason I posted a thread in the first place is my gf's GS3. I have her's rooted again and running. I am going to update her baseband version and then install a custom ROM so she's up to 4.3.1. As far as mine goes, I have been fine. I myself also still have the outdated bootloader version. Is it ok to just flash that update for the bootloader without it doing anything wrong? I'm asking this since I'm rooted and running a custom ROM with no current problems. In other words, I don't want to end up saying "it wasn't broke, why did I mess with it" ? I did bookmark that thread you referenced in your last message. Damn that thread is LOADED with just about everything one would possibly need to know about Android and making it their own.
So my g/f accepted the OTA update today (not knowing obviously) and she got updated to 4.3 via AT&T, unfortunately!! I attempted to flash the latest Liquid Smooth ROM and I continue to get a FAILED message during installation. It mentions a bunch of bootloader numbers ( I am assuming the only ones this ROM is compatible with?) So is there any way to roll the bootloader back to a compatible one or just go a different route for the custom ROM?
Also, I attempted flashing the file to update my baseband yet when I so into the device, it doesn't show as having the updated version? Is there a different way of doing it or maybe a different file?
I'm not to sure about the troubles that may come about since your gf went with the 4.3 OTA but If I am not mistaken it will need to be downgraded before you try doing anything else to it and if it is not showing that you updated your bootloader on your phone I recommend grabbing the App called Root Checker to double check then look for another file, tho unless it failed it should have updated it or messed up your phone one.
