I was trying to flash VIPER MOD, but when I flashed the 1st zip, the phone said failure at line:2, then I tried to wipe and flash again, but it didn't work. and I tried to recovered to official rom, apply the update.zip, it said :failure at line 3
Now I can only get into clockwork, what should I do? Help
This happened to me. I used Odin to go back to di18. You can do the same or to dk28
Download the .tar file and Odin to dk28 you shouldn't need a pit file. Hold 1 while pressing the power button to get to the download screen then start the odin proces. After that flash the correct CWM again and try again. I don't know the specifics of the viper rom so I can't help you there. Your actually doing good if you can get into CWM.

I'm actually in a similar boat. After doing the one-click root and recovery, my phone is doing the same exact thing.
I flashed Di18 via odin, it works!
Thanks to all!
why do the ocr method?
The cwm3 zip in the Official thread does everything for you. just Odin to Dk28 then unzip the cwm3 and run .bat it will convert to ext4,root, and install cwm3 all in one step. You then only have to flash your Rom!
Please post questions in General section.
Hi,
I have been rooting for a while with my evo 4g which is basically just recoveries & zip files.
Currently I have updated to Calk's ICS Beta 3 rom with modem FC05. I have read some stuff here & there that talk about having issues going from a ICS rom back to a GB nandroid.
I have installed Kies opened Odin, looked at the Wiki here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
I just dont quite get in terms of flashing zips through odin. I keep reading people say to odin back to stock & then flash from there.
How do I do that? I looked at QB777's video on youtube, but it seems like PIT files arent used much at this point.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Rich
Ok, basically when you Odin back to stock, it involves flashing a .tar ROM from the pda slot in desktop Odin and not zip file like you would in CWM. Once you restore back to stock, you can find a .tar recovery, I personally use rogue which will allow you to have cwm-based recovery for flashing zips. All the links should be in development. Let me know if you still need help
Edit-what Odin does is it allows you to flash Roms, kernels, moderns, etc even if you don't have a custom recovery, provided that they are in the correct format, like .tar extension

so when i flash a tar, I go into download mode, open odin, point it to a stock rooted tar file that has CWR & I am back to stock ready to flash to something else?
Can you help me find those files? A stock rooted, CWR should do the trick.

Ok, so you go into a download mode on your phone, open Odin, plug in your USB cord, ODIN should recognize your phone provided you installed the right drivers. You're good if you get the yellow box that says 0 com, something something. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot in Odin.
The easiest way that I've been going back and forth between GB and ICS is to install the rooted EL29 .tar version here
http://little-melon.com/sfhub/SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-sfx.exe
You would need to extract the file until you get a folder with tar.md5 name. Example of the file I provided would be SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_PDA.tar.md5 once you unzip it. This is the file you would put on the PDA slot of your desktop Odin.
Once you do this, Odin will start flashing and be done in like 1-2 minutes and auto reboot. Do not do anything to shut down, unplug, or mess with the device while Odin is flashing or you may end up bricking it. Once your phone reboots you will be rooted and stock based with EL 29 modem and kernel, which is the latest official Sprint OTA. If you want to get a recovery after this,you would need to go back into Odin and flash a kernel that has a recovery baked in. Like I said I use Rogue and the link would be here for Rogue Stock EL29-

Flashing this in Odin you will get CWM-based recovery and can start backing up, flashing different ROMS.
Hope this helps.
This is very helpful. I am stuck at the SGS2 boot screen after flashing MIJJs Goodness 1.8, can't boot in to recovery, only download mode. How do I fix this?

Flash a recovery in download mode that I linked. It's rogue recovery
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Just to confirm, using the files you had here, I open odin in download mode, choose PDA (check the check box) point it to the tar.md5 file, hit start & wait a few minutes until it auto reboots?
How do I flash the recovery? Is it also the PDA?
I have been flashing modems in CWR, not odin & I just want to make sure that recovery or rom itself, just PDA & nothing else checked (but PDA)?

Reverting back to GB ROM
I recently switched back from ICS to GB and did not have any problems with the change back. I simply went into my SD card manually took everything off except my chaulkins format all and my wifi tether hack. I then went into recovery mode and did a wipe all. Then went to zip files, ran the format all, then did an install of the new ROM and it works great!
I tried to flash my Galaxy W back to the stock ROM today and encountered some problems.
First, the file I downloaded from samfire was in .zip file. I tried to install it through CWM 5.0.0.4. But it failed. So, I tried to install it with Odin. Inside Odin I chose to view all image files so that I can select the .zip stock ROM file to install (Since it only allows/ displays .tar and md5 files).
But the Installation with Odin is stucked with the "setting up connection" sentence and I decided to cancel it.
It caused my phone to have this message when I switch it on either on Recovery or Download mode.
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
What should I do? Is this some sort of brick?
Help me please.
maybe u shall extract the zip to find the stock file inside it then flash with odin
First off, I think you posted in the wrong section.
Now back to your problem, its a soft brick, happened to me like twice. I know you cant reach recovery mode at that stage, and only download mode is possible. So the only way to fix is to flash via odin. Download your rom you wanted to flash. Go download mode. Fill in necessary files in odin like ancora.ops and the rom file and try to flash.

I have the galaxy m919, and had a bad flash yesterday. My phone is now softbricked, and I am unsuccessful in fixing it.
I have run ODIN with a PDA file and it did not fix the problem. I am pretty sure I also need a PIT file to load. I thought I had one saved from when I originally got my phone and decided to root it and put the Infamous rom on it, but can't find it for the hell of me.
All attempts to search for the files online just gives me .tar files.
Any suggestions?
If I was soft bricked I would flash the stock img. When you say bad flash I assume the process was interrupted. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392 and download the stock ROM open Odin and select PDA and find the stock MDL tar file and select it, then put your phone in download mode by pushing (volume down+home and power) then plug it in you your PC. Make sure the com window lights up and click start. Let the phone reboot and then re-root or do what you wish. I hope this helps. Good luck

Download Stock Rom and Recovery and flash using Odin
I may not be perfectly correct but I just had the same issue on my Att Galaxy s4 and was able to fix it. You have to find your Stock Rom online from a good source. Once you find the Factory Stock Rom you download the latest version of Odin that you find all over the site if you just search for Odin Download. I noticed that it really doesn't matter what version of Odin you use as long as its one of the newer versions you will be fine. Once you get the Stock Rom (The file will be over a GB) found you will use the AP option in Odin and insert the .MD5 or .Tar file into the slot and then you will put the phone in Download Odin mode by holding down the volume down + power + middle button all at once. Once you see the download mode come on, hit up to enter the download mode.
Once odin is all set up, just flash it and it will recover the Stock recovery and Rom. The file you need to flash looks kina like this, ALL_ATT_xxxxUCUFNB1_xxxxATTxxxx_00000_REVxx_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar as an example. Its a all in one .tar or .md5 that your looking for. It has all the Stock Firmware you need. It will make the phone run as if you never did anything to it at all and will reset to normal again
