I feel like everyone who asks this question gets ignored. and ive searched high and low on xda and cant find a plain and simple answer or method... i have an E980 freshly rooted on android 4.4.2 . my first time rooting this phone. At&T. cant find a legit method to add twmp or cwm. every method i try just boots into stock recovery with the E:missing bitmap in red at the bottom along with other errors.
im sure i cant be the only one with this problem.. im sure theres a way... right? i just want a custom rom already :/

Why not just flashtool back to 10k.. Root...install flashable 4.4.2 .......then you would have twrp or cwm with stock kk......

bro i already have the drivers .... gotta flash something with odin still searching what is it
ur help is appreciated .... there is no shame in not knowing .... teach me plz
What exactly did you flash? Which specific phone was it made for? Is your phone completely non functional currently? can you get into clockworkmod? If you can, assuming you made a backup b4 flashing anything use it.

You can flash your stock recovery/kernel/radio/firmware via Odin through that screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374868
follow the odin tutorial there to get back to your stock firmware via Odin then you can root again or install CWM
next time you decide to mess with your software MAKE SURE ITS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PHONE SPECIFICALLY
sounds like the OP was trying to flash something for the i9100 on the T989

You must have searched in a book on your coffee table or something, because you can't go more then half a day without an "ICS OUT YET?" post on here. There is even a semi-long thread called "ICS progress for the samsung SGS2 LTE" sitting right on the first page of this same sub section.
So before you try to be so sarcastic and snappy, use your head.
The Dev section has the roms. Use master and slaves new beginning.

Okay, maybe I can help you
Firstly, touchscreen won't work in CWM. You must use the volume up and down buttons to navigate. To click okay, press the power/camera button. Now, if you have a rom.zip on your internal storage then select install zip from internal storage and select the zip in it's respective location. Then press the power/camera button. You will get a confirmation page. Choose yes and let the flashing begin. Once the flashing is done, go back to the main menu and press reboot system now. Hope that you understand.
yeah thanks all i fixed it all last night with a lot of sweat and tears
there where 2 problems. i forgot to instal a rom on the internal storage. and when cwm9 was installed without the rom on the sd i wasn't able to get the phone conected to my pc to transfer the rom.zip. and it looked like cwm9 was running and could not turn the phone off. But after i managed to flash the stock firmware and then transfered the rom.zip and rooted my phone and installed cwm. the rom instal part was easy !
many thanks for the help also was it a bit to late but it was my own fault i dindt need to do that so late in the evening

Root it man,there is nothing to fear. If you doing it exactly how it writen in instructions,there is nothing to worry about. just don`t plug off your phone and let it complete. It`s last ~ 10 sec,and you`ll be good
I don`t think something whould happen,since a lot of us done it and we are happy rooted users

This isnt going very well with me..I just tried flashing philz touch and it said reset instead of pass? nothing happened to my phone (can still open my phone and all) but i panicked when i saw that message.. any idea?
Stock ROM flashes stock recovery on boot, that's why Philz doesn't stick.

You used Autoroot,or what?
Odin sometimes stucks on RESET,it`s not telling you that something went wrong. Start worry if you see FAIL
Did you tryed to enter recovery?

No man, you lose it when you flash official samsung rom, then your device will be able to get OTA updates from samsung. So called " Unroot "
Great to hear that all passed smoothly to you! :good:

XDA rules
Dr. Ketan, firstly thank you for the great Rom. I meant to write it on your ROM forum but I can't. So, now I have to make new posts only to be able to write on your rom forum. Maybe it is time XDA changes its rule in regards to how many posts should be done before allowing posting in meaty forums.
BTW, you ROM is really smooth. Thanks.

+1. on Dr. Ketans awesome rom.
Albeit Im in a situation right now that rendered my phone in stuck in the samsung logo. Encountered a problem with 3minit batt mod and flashed the stuck-in-download fix but got stuck in bootloop, restored backup via TWRP but still does not progress forward the Samsung logo. Tried flashing via ODIN, the latest TWRP and now I cant even boot in TWRP.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you. Bootrom would mean a m5d/tar format ROM right? I would really like to push the previous backup i did but its not in a single file format as twrp truncates them into pieces of m5d files, even looking inside dr. ketans v10 rom, there is no single m5d file. Any hints I can achieve this, or should i just push any m5d rom just to recover? (Sorry downloading a gig of file takes long where I am)
