Hi
I am running android 4.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duo
I have recently rooted my phone with superSU
And I am trying to install an unofficial version of lollipop 5.1.1
When I press Volume Up + Home + Power to get into CWM it says "Unknown Command" and takes me to the default recovery menu.
I can get into CWM by putting my phone in download mode and flashing it with ODIN temponarly.
And when i go to wipe data on CWM, it doesn't say yes anywhere, it just shows 5 no's
I have tried scrolling up and down with the volume keys but had no luck.
What im looking for is just how do i get the no's to say yes
Can anyone please help me quickly?
I have rooted many phones but never worked with CWM or custom ROMS
Thanks

Hi,
I have galaxy nexus yakju it was running android 4.1.1. Then i rooted the phone. After the 4.2 update got release to get early update i flashed takju4.1.2 ROM and updated it to 4.2 using the ADB Update option in recovery.
then i rooted the device it was working fine, to test some other ROMs i installed TWRP recovery for 4.2. Before installing ROMS i took the backup. Im not satisfied with ROM so i restored Backup.
Currently im running rooted android 4.2 with TWRP recovery. Everything is fine but suddenly today i got OTA update to 4.2.1.(i dont think i should get OTA updates since i dont have stock recovery and i rooted). Since im very curious person i installed the update.
it installed the update successfully , now im running 4.2.1. But unfortunately it Unrooted my device and replaced my recovery with stock.
When i enter into recovery by pressing volume Down+power button , when the device is showing lying android symbol, it says 'updating' msg and there are no options other than start which will eventually start the normal boot process.
Now how can i flash stock 4.2 ROM and stock recovery?
that sleeping android is the stock recovery.. press volume up + power to boot into it
First of all, why would you not just keep 4.2.1 and root that?
Also everything that has happened is perfectly normal, and you should indeed get OTA's if you only rooted it, and if your recovery supports it, you can install them as well.
If you really do want to get back to 4.2, just flash the stock image from google and root it from there by flashing a recovery from fastboot and then using that recovery to flash superuser and su binary, but you might as well stay in 4.2.1 and just do the latter.
and yes that sleeping android is the stock recovery.

I did tried volume down_ power button. But the recovery menu is something different than its used to be. It has 'start' button as it is in fast boot, and big title in middle saying 'Updating', other than that there are no options.
i think i should flash 4.2 stock rom from google using toolkit, which will over rite my current recovery, if there is a problem with recovery it will solve it.
Let me know if im doing it wrong.
Thanks
Issue fixed
Flashed stock 4.2 image using toolkit, now recovery is working fyn when i press volume down + power button.And updated to 4.1.2 also.
But i got rpc:S-5:AEC-0 error while trying to download apps from market. im still searching for solution. gonna post it here if i cant find it anywhere.
Thanks everyone.

Try flashing the custom recovery again but uncheck "auto reboot" in odin and then once done flashing manually enter into recovery mode by pressing volume up + home + power and let go of all 3 buttons as soon as you see the samsung logo.Prior to doing this put superSu v 1.94 in your sd card so you can flash it right after booting into recovery ,this would root your phone for more guidance refer to this guide.Philz touch 6.26.6 or 6.41 should be used.

Hello I have a galaxy tab pro 12.2 ( canada version )
i have try a custom rom but did not like it , so i have load the original rom with Odin, that went fine .
I know there is and update for my that tablet but when it try to download the new firmware it says :
connecting to server......your device has been modified . software updates are not available
so when i go in settings >> device >> About Tab >> status >> device status >>
it says........ custom
so just wondering if there is a way to format or do something else to be able to have the update work again ..
thank you
are you rooted? do you have a custom recovery?
either of those things will keep an OTA from installing
well i have installed a custom rom before but i have downwload and install what I was thinking to be an origninal firmware for the tablet
which app i can use to check if it is rooted ? presently i have root checker and it say root access is not properly installed on this device
android version it says 4.4.2
Do you have super su nstalled?

I just try to install it and it say there is no su binary installed , and supersu cannot install it .
im officially not rooted
but i have the custom in the box device status
do you have stock recovery?
that where my geek side stop ...not sure how to confirm that to you at 100% , as mention before I think that what I have install last with ODIN a stock recovery
but again i don't know where to really be sure
did you ever flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM?
do you know how to boot into recovery?
yes i did
thats why your device says modified; you have to have stock recovery, and not be rooted to take OTA updates..
ok...... so im just wondering what I can do to be able to have those OTA update ?
go back rooted and bypass the custom notification with wanam xposed?
like I said, you need to be on stock firmware, and stock recovery to get OTA updates
ok i can download again a stock firmware that fine ...in process
but what is a stock recovery
It's the recovery that was on the tablet when you first got it

Pictured is stock recovery for my Mega. What you need to do is power off your phone then hold (same time) the Power, Vol. Up buttons until you see at the top left "Recovery Booting" Then use the Volume down key to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" then press the power button. Then use Vol. Down key until Yes-- delete all user data, then hit the power key. Once it's done the first screen will pop back up and highlight "wipe cache partition and hit power key. Once that's done, back to first screen and "reboot system now". Now on my Tab Pro 8.4 I sometimes have to Odin flash again to get rid of the System Custom status.
ok here the last improvement
I have do what you told me with the recovery thing ...took me some time since the only stock recovery i was able to find was in IMG format ...I have to convert it to TAR with cygwin
after I have format like you mention
took few more sec to reboot but once reboot ...Im at 4.4.2 with device status ...OFFICIAL
that a great good sign
I do have try to look for an update ... but it says the last update have been install....
at least i think im where I was trying to be ....thank you so much for your time , patience and straight information
Thank's again

Hello. I've downloaded and flashed the Cyanogenmod ROM Lollipop 5.0.2 for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100. But I have a problem. It works very well, but I would like to install another rom, and when I try to put my phone on Recovery mode, It doesn't work. I mean, I hold Block botton + Volume Down and my phone didn't put on Recovery Mode anymore. I tried to put my phone on Download mode to install the official firmware and It doesn't work neither, just It gets reboot.
I would like to know if there is a way to install another rom with this condition because I don't know what to do :crying:
Thank you!

Hi all !
i've flashed the Clockwork recovery before this, and i wanted to flash IronRom for my tablet.
Now after flashing recovery, prompted no OS found. So i tried to flash stock ROM, but my tablet stucked at Samsung Boot screen and i cannot access recovery via Power + Up + Menu key.
Is there any other way to access recovery other than using the keys combination ? my Odin cannot detect my Tab as well..
appreciate any help , TIA .
power + down + menu

Install the latest Samsung drivers for this device and check if it gets connected to Odin.

CLOCKWORKMOD recovery or Twrp?
It's highly unlikely flashing recovery wiped the os unless you chose the wrong option in Odin or wiped in recovery.
