[Q] Problems with CWM

Hi, hopefully somebody can help me. I have rooted my Note 2 and installed CWM via ROM Manager. I have always done it this way with other phones, but this time when I reboot into recovery I have options missing - such as backup and restore. I am also unable to scroll down past any item that is visible.
I have flashed a different version of CWM via Mobile Odin but the problem remains. I have also attempted to install TWRP via Goomanager and Mobile Odin but whenever I reboot into Recovery I go straight to CWM with nothng having changed.
I'd be really grateful if someone can tell me where I'm going wrong. I don't want to flash any other ROM until I can backup my stock.
Thanks for any help!

Download CWM recovery tar (like philz or any other you want) and flash with PC odin for PDA tab

Thank you for replying. I have just done this yet still when I reboot into recovery I'm getting the same problem and there has been no change.
Should I be doing a wipe as well? Or is there something else wrong?

Flashing was successful?
There is no changes in menu of recovery? like you can read philz or something?
what is available menu in recovery?

No change.
Odin said flashing was successful. Recovery looks like this:
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
power button to select:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : BTU
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
- and then nothing. this is as far as I can get no matter how or what I seem to flash other recovery.
Thanks again for any help.

This is stock recovery, not CWM
It means odin was not successfull
Can you describe the odin log?
here i repeat procedure
-Download said recovery (http://www.mediafire.com/file/imbzaau34u7ldeg/philz_touch_3.99-n7100-fixed.tar.md5)
-Open Odin and select PDA tab, then point to recovery (above said)
-Put device in download mode (vol down + home +power), then it will ask to press vol up to enter into recovery, do that
-connect device to PC and wait till ID COM port glows
-Flash
Let device boot normally
-Reboot to recovery and check, if it is same then post Odin log here

Thats exactly the process I've been following. Here is a screenshot of Odin following flash:

Really weird
Try wipe cache and data. And re flash.

I've managed to solve by re-rooting this time with pc Odin (last time I used the apk file) - backing up right now!
Thanks again for helping!!

[Q] Is my Gnex motherboard faulty?

Hi guys,
I can't flash any ROM/Kernel/whatever file via Bootloader/ODIN & Recovery. Worst still I can't access Recovery now.
My Nexus can goto Bootloader or ODIN mode but once i started to push files to it, it will just freeze. Please refer below for photos:

}
BEFORE
AFTER
My Gnex was on the latest Paranoid ROM and Franco kernel.
Timeline:
1. It just went into bootloop when I am just browsing the internet.
2. Went to Recovery to clear cache. (that's my mistake, should have waited longer for my device to boot :crying
3. Still bootloop.
4. Went to recovery to flash stock kernel as I suspect it's kernel fault.
5. Kernel flash failed as it the operation was aborted and restarted. Bootloop again.
6. Done battery pull and went to Recovery to Restore my backup Nandroid.
7. Flashing halfway and it frooze.
8. Can't access Recovery anymore.
9. Tried to restore stock rom using ODIN. Failed at NandWrite as the screen froze as the above image.
10. Tried WugfFresh to restore back to stock rom and failed again as the screen froze.
So guys, can i conclude that my motherboard is the culprit here?
Thanks in advance.

Are you able to get into the bootloader? Have you tried manual fastboot flash of factory images?

Hi,
Yes, I am able to get to bootloader.. the problem is when i start to do fastboot flash the factory images (using WugFresh).. the screen will start to freeze with double image as per my 1st post...

Sound like there is a possibility of corrupt nand partition .... though that is usually unlikely unless you are an extreme flashaholic ... but still possible
but the guy above is suggesting use the fastboot commands manually rather than using the toolkit as it sometimes makes a difference
As in manually flash the recovery in the bootloader then see if you can get into recovery, but there are many avenues that you can take to see where you can get with this. There are many places that explain how to do this step by step on the web.
Also you should always try switching usb ports and usb cables as sometimes it will cause issues
I know i used the same usb port with the same usb cable to flash my n7 and gnex multiple time then one day it just stopped working switched the port and cable then it started working again.
But other than that I don't know much about is a possible JTAG but I really doubt that will help at all since the device does does get into bootloader and odin just freezes....

corrupt nand partition... that's an interesting theory... will explore on the solutions on the manual fastboot commands...

[Q] Help: Samsung AT&T i747 S3 Soft brick, corrupted os and cant restore.

Hi guys,
I have tried to do a fair amount of reaserch on this topic before posting this thread so i will go ahead and tell you the steps i have taken as to make the helping process as streamline as possible.
Preface:
Can enter Recovery and Download mode - soft brick perhaps. Can start the phone into the OS, Computer recognizes as a removeable device. Able to connect to Odin software.
Problem:
When phone starts and i enter into the rom i get error messages saying google processes stops, media stops, touchwiz home stops. These error messages pop up multiple times. The phone will randomly shut down and display a battery symbol like it is charging (i believe the battery is good since it shows half charged and will increase % the longer i let it charge). I cant really access the SD card from my computer because the phone will force shutdown before i am able to read from the SD athough the computer can detect the SD.
Steps to resolve:
Wipe data and Factory reset in recovery mode
Used odin to install stock firmware. I installed the LK3 AT&T Rom for the I747 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33570269#post33570269 by extracting it and using Odin to flash the MD5. Sucessfull flash w/o any errors.
Cleared the Cache from recovery after i flashed.
Ideally i want to flash CMW and CM11 on the phone and just be finished with stock rom since it seems like it is causing me a lot of problems. Although it seems like i need a working, function stock rom first to be able to put the needed files on the device and install applications and whatnot before i can do that. What worries me are the random shutdowns even when the phone is plugged in and the corrupt software. Although it still has fully functional recovery and download modes so its not a brick yet.
Any ideas?

If you can get into download mode, you can use Odin to install Philz Touch recovery.
If you have a micro SD card, just copy the rom to the card, put the card in the phone, and use Philz to flash your custom ROM.

Okay i got the a stable system on the phone now, however . . .
Wifi and Cell networks are not working and i get an error message saying google play services stopped working, i did flash the latest 4.4 gapps and SU.
On bootup i get a message saying,
UIDs on the system are inconsistant, you need to wipe you data partition or your device will be unstable.
How do i fix this?
----------------- Update ------------------
Reflashed the rom and did a full wipe which fixed the UIDs issue. I can also now connect to wifi.
However my phone is still randomly restarting even when it is plugged into my computer. It then turns off the phone and when i press the power button it shows a green battery logo with a circle. What could cause this. I also cannot get the sim card to work, it wont detect any signal.
At this point i have a stable rom installed with the gapps and root and modem.

Check your efs for correct imei, annd which modem are you using, MJB?

OTA with unlocked bootloader

hi everyone, i have an E6833 running on 32.4.A.0.160
i received my phone today it was at maintenance service, so i came back and installed twrp on it (no root)
after restarting i got an update message 32.4.A.1.54 from system
the quistion is: can i install this update with an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed?
if no can i uninstall the twrp and install the update?+(how?)
if no again, what should i do?
thx

your best bet is to make a full backup.
Move the backup to your pc.
Download the update using Flashtool 0.9.23.2
install firmware after downloading ( exclude all .TA files in the lower window)
If you are going from stock rom to this update its possible to flash without wiping user data to keep your apps / data intact.
Fast boot a Recovery like TWRP
then reboot to recovery and flash a custom kernel. like PDesires YandereCore.
reboot and enjoy.
This is basically what I did for the current update on my E6853
Hit thanks if I've helped you.

its possible flash tool is not set to look in the correct folder.
Make sure you select Flash (not fastboot)
then make sure the location is C:\Users\*your profile name*\.flashTool\firmwares
after Flashtool downloads a firmware it auto extracts the firmware files.
so you only need to select the device (after its been set to Flash mode (Flash tool will direct you)
use the arrows next device tree, and go to the bottom arrow til you get your firmware.
I've made note of the Exclude TA files to tick all of these. to remove the TA files from your flash.
Make sure too. that you are using a USB 2 port. USB 3 ports have been giving errors with the current drivers on some systems

Other than that it should work.

Secure Check Fail

Do the force flash method through odin, as soon as you click start hold in vol down + bixby + power and go straight back to download mode and mash start again. Forces odin to flash without verifying the info.
