Hello and thank you for taking time to read this post.
I attempted to root my At&t Samsung Galaxy S3 today then install tha AOKP Rom, and it back fired due to poor instruction, and poor execution. At the moment my phone, whenever it turns on "inititing swager" (with a pink horse and gears) then gives me a pop-up saying "Unfortunatly the process com.google.process.gapps has been stopped." and "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". Whenever I hit ok, the other shows up. I have access to the pull down menu, but can't open any of the links on it. I can also shut it off then get back to the root(hat menu) menu. From which I have tried the option "wipe data/Factory Reset" link, but that changes nothing when I reboot. At this point I am just looking for a way to get it back to factory settings or at least working!
How I got here:
1. Rooted the phone through my computer (successfully it seemed)
-Using this tutorial: /watch?v=bIUA1IxiJzo
2.Started puting AOPK on!
(with this: /watch?v=qzcR-G7EKSw
Look, I know none of you have to help me but any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I hav looked through other forums about the gapps error, but the difference is mine is not running to the home screen so I can't go to application manager!
Two suggestions:
1) Put your phone in recovery mode (i.e. where you can do factory resets from), transfer a different ROM image over to the device (I'd use adb to do that from recovery mode), flash it, clear data/cache/etc., reboot the phone, and hope it works.
2) Put the phone in download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power; just like entering recovery, but Vol Down instead of Vol Up), and use Odin to flash a rooted stock image as detailed here; put CWM / TWRP / whatever recovery you want to use on the phone again, and get back to flashing ROM images from there.
In the future, try to be careful of what ROMs you flash... not everything works very well, as you've just discovered.
Thank you for responding so quickly! I am attempting the first method, however i am not sure how to transfer a different rom image(im assuming the adb stands for Android Debug Bridge). I was using the internal SD, but I can plug it the phone into my computer, and it says no drivers found for this device, where before it recognized the phone. Once I get that I can clear the other data and restart.
Your help is very appreciated!

How can I post a doubt in XDA forum?
What custom recovery is on your phone? I suggest installing Philz Touch via Odin if possible and then flash a new rom from an external SD card.
Hi there,
I am using Note II International Variant..
I am very new to flashing and putting custom ROMs.
Before I started, I wanted to backup my ROM that I am currently having. I understand that TWRP is the best tool to do this.
So I decided to backup my ROM using TWRP.
The problem is, I am not able to boot into TWRP recovery mode. I tried the GooManager and Odin methods and it failed.
In ODIN its going to the RESET status and rebooting the device.(Attached)
Every time its taking me to the android system recovery page. Dont know what to do and I am really stuck.
Note: Before trying all this, I had installed something called ROM Manager and had tried to install the ClockRecoveryMode from there.But I never tried using that.
Update 18.07.2013 Tried DD method and failed.
Goo manager cannot install TWRP on the Note 2, so you were right in using the ODIN method.
I am trying to understand what is "android system recovery page". After you install the recovery with ODIN, does it boot into Android? Does it go to download mode? Or does it go to stock recovery?
Usually you can boot into recovery by turning the phone on while holding VOL UP + HOME BTN + POWER for 4-5 seconds while the "Samsung galaxy note II" is on the screen and then releasing the power button until it goes into recovery. Or, if you're lazy like me, open Goo Manager, press MENU and select Reboot Recovery.

What I meant is the android system recovery screen which has the following info on the screen..
Doing VOL UP + HOME BTN + POWER for 4-5 seconds is taking me to this screen rather than the TWRP screen.
ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY <3e>
SAMSUNG SYSTEM RECOVERY UTILS
-FOR BML-
-REBOOT SYSTEM NOW
-APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP
-WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
-WIPE CACHE PARTITION
I am normally rebooting the device after that. I recently noticed that in ODIN once I connect the device the box is not turning yellow despite installing the latest samsung drivers. In the download mode,on the device, its showing the no. of custom recovery attempts done.
have u tried doing this on another pc ?

pretty sure that this line

mean that the request to write the recovery got denied .... no writing done ...
i don't know what is the cause to this though ..
Are you rooted? If you are you could try installing the recovery a terminal emulator with DD:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
Try that and see if it works!
Yes I am rooted. Will try the DD mode and let u know.

Is there a possibility that the bootloader is locked and it had to be unlocked first?
Also how to verify if its locked or not.

I'll not be able to help you in TWRP recovery mode since i have not tried it.
I tried CWM recovery and this is how i installed CWM:
1) download CWM tar.md5 file
2) flashed in ODIN mode and after refresh it started booting into normal mode
3) while rebooting into normal mode, i pressed Volume UP + HOME+ POWER key and i was in CWM mode.
4) after making the changes and pressed reboot system in CWM it asked for disabling Stock recovery and i pressed yes.
5) I think even i got Reset during flashing but not sure about it.

I tried the DD method just now. Nothing happened. It again went to the android recovery page.
Did you do it with superuser permissions (typing SU before issuing the DD command)?
what does terminal emulator output after you do it?

I have been searching for HOURS to find out how to boot into twrp and EVERYTHING, everything on this site and everywhere else has said vol. down + home + power that just takes me to download mode and I can't understand what they're doing differently. THANK YOU, RANDOM COMMENT FROM YEARS AGO
for anyone there who still needs help
hey guys i found a solution to this problem. i know its late to reply to this post but anyone who still face this issue might find this method useful. so just after flashing the recovery when the device restarts hold the vol. up and home key instantly. try this method again and again. once you are on time it will definitely boot in twrp. i got this in the very first time lucky huh ??
please press the thanks button if this helped (will help for sure )
An easier way, in my opinion to flash TWRP, is to open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash twrp, when you the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, press the volume up, home, and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button. This is necessary because allowing the phone to reboot on its own after installing TWRP causes the stock recovery to overwrite TWRP upon auto reboot.

Thanks!! Works fine!
Hello there. Some of you may know me from my work on other devices. I am Restl3ss. I have come across an SGH-S730M and was painfully disappointed with the support; namely that not only is there not one single custom rom (not even a stock ROM!) but all the root methods to date seem to involve some sort of third party hack-o-tron program instead of rooting the right way (a flashable zip and / or odin file). So, I've thrown together a flashable zip for the samsung galaxy discover SGH-S730M that will both root and overclock the device to 1 ghz. I've also decided to do a comprehensive guide for once, rather than throwing up the files with a figure-it-out type of stance. Without further ranting, here is my noob-friendly root guide for the SGH-S730M.
I am not responsible if anything goes wrong. I don't predict any problems but you never know. Use at your own risk.
Instructions:
Part one is to install a custom recovery. For this guide we will be using CWM. You will need three things to do that. The latest Samsung USB drivers, the CWM.tar.md5 file, and the flashing tool known as Odin. Get the Samsung drivers from here and install. Afterwards, download the Odin.zip from here and the CWM.tar.md5 from here. When the downloads are finished and you have the Samsung USB drivers installed, unzip Odin and run the .exe within.
Now, boot your phone into download mode. To do this, shut off your phone and plug it into your computer. Now hold the volume down, power, and home button simultaneously until the phone vibrates. Once it does, let go of ONLY THE POWER BUTTON. Your phone should now boot into download mode.
Now in odin, click the button that says PDA. a file selection prompt will appear. Locate the .tar.md5 file you downloaded earlier. Once you have, wait for odin to verify, and then click Start. Odin will now flash on a custom recovery, and your phone will reboot normally once the process is complete.
Part two is to flash the actual rooting zip. To do this, first download the zip found here. Then, copy it to your phones storage. once you have done this, shut off the phone. Restart the phone into recovery mode. To do this, (with the phone shut off) hold the power button and volume up button until the phone vibrates, then let go of ONLY THE POWER BUTTON. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. You can navigate this recovery by using the volume up and down buttons to move up and down in the menu, and the power button to make a selection. In clockworkmod recovery, select "install". Find the root zip you downloaded earlier and select it. Clockworkmod will ask you if you're sure you want to flash, select yes. After the flashing is finished, select reboot device. Your phone will boot up like normal and upon boot you will get an "android is upgrading" message. Wait for that to finish, and then use your phone as normal Congratulations, you are now rooted and overclocked.
Download links (once more, in case someone doesn't feel like peeling through the tutorial to find them)
Samsung USB drivers: drivers
Odin: odin
CWM: cwm
root.zip: root
just wondering if u ever came across a status 255 installation aborted error... i get that in step 2 when in CWM i select the zip for rooting
any ideas ?
I keep getting an error message when I try to flash my phone. It begins but then I get:
E:Error in /sdcard/root-sgh-s730m.zip
(status 255)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas?
When installing a custom recovery, in some situations, it might not stick -- the stock recovery may be stubborn.
It has been suggested that, when installing via Odin, you can make sure to NOT check the "auto-reboot" and when Odin finishes, pull the battery.
I have found another way: leave the "auto-reboot" checked, but be ready for it -- when Odin finishes and the phone starts to reboot, hold the volume-up and home buttons down so that after reboot it goes into recovery mode instead of booting into the normal operating system.
This seems to allow the recovery (TWRP in my case) to take hold henceforth.
HTH
Good tip, I've been doing this when sometimes I accidentally press to reboot normally instead of recovery and its worked everytime

Hello,
I hope someone can help me. I'm not completely ignorant when it comes to rooting and flashing custom roms, but it's been a while since the last time I did (last time was my Samsung Galaxy S2). Today I decided I was going to root my N5110 Note 8 and install a 4.4.2 rom on it.
I decided I was going to install the Omni Rom linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569099
I apologize in advance for the long descriptions below.
Here are the steps and issues in the order that it happened:
1) Flashed CF-Auto-Root-konawifi-konawifixx-gtn5110 using Odin (Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time)
2) Downloaded Rom Manager App, and booted into Recovery from there.
3) Using CWM Recovery, I followed instructions as described on the Omni link and did a Wipe/Factory Reset
4) Using CWM Recovery, I selected to install zip from SDCard, and selected the omni-4.4.2-20140102-n5110-HOMEMADE.zip
5) After a few seconds, I got an error 7, and the installation aborted.
6) Tried to reboot back to the system, but of course now that everything is wiped, it just loops back to recovery.
7) I tried installing the zip again, same error. I checked the thread and someone mentioned the same error. OP mentioned using TWRP, so I went back into Download mode and flashed TWRP via Odin
8) After reboot, it went into TWRP. Tried installing zip again, same error. I decided I'll pick up another rom to try first. So, I took out my microSD card so that I can load the ROM over to it.
9) Booted back into TWRP - it no longer sees my SD card. Tried to power down from recovery menus in hopes to get it to see the sd card. No luck
10) I'm desperate now--I am trying to force it off by holding down the power button. It reboots back into recovery. I even try to get it back to download mode so I can flash CWM back on, in hopes that it will let me retry. But now it just shows the battery screen (like when you're charging it while powered off) at empty. I unplug the USB cable, the screen turns off.
11) I try to power it back on without the USB cable plugged in, nothing happens.
12) I plug the USB power back in, and it looks like it's booting up. It goes to the Samsung Note 8.0 N5110 screen and just flickers. The flickering increases in speed over time.
13) I force it back into Download mode, and try to run the CF Auto-Root again (like I said I'm desperate now).
14) After Odin reboots the device, it goes into the battery screen and is doing the weird flickering thing again.
I'm currently attempting to download XXCMH3_stock-rooted-official.zip in hopes to flash via Odin, but the d/l keeps timing out before the whole thing can be transferred.
Someone, please help! What am I doing wrong?

Hi, just so you know... you do not need to root a stock ROM to flash a custom ROM... I am surprised that you think that is necessary
Did you ever set USB debugging to enabled?
Also what Odin do you have?
Turn off note, remove SD, and see if you can start in Stock download mode.
Flash with Odin 3.07... repeat flash with Odin 3.07 and use N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5 from http://samsungis.com/
Here is a copy of a reply on a thread it may help if you cannot perform the simple task of reflashing stock ROM from my small list of steps.

Have you tried to flash with Re-Partition checked in Odin 3.07? It looks like your partions are messed up, if it was me I would just give it a try "flashing with re-partition checked" seeing as though its not working anyway.
If that don't work see if you can get a PIT file somewhere, I did read someone put up a link for a PIT file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544451 although I am NOT 100% sure if this is for the GT-N5110 but read thru it and if you feel adventurous give that PIT file a try.
And here is a link http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/Galaxy+Note+8/XXCMG2/ that someone put up with a leaked firmware and the PIT file and CODE file for the N5110 you can give that a try also.
- Unzip the file
- Open Odin 3.07 (already included in the firmware package)
- Restart phone in download mode
(Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add CODE_N5110XXCMG2_1031850_REV01_user_low_ship.tar to CODE
- Add CSC_OXA_N5110OXACMG2_1031850_REV01_user_mid_noship .tar to CSC
- Add kona_wifi.pit to PIT
- Make sure re-partition is ticked
- Start flash, sit back and wait a few minutes.
- If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)
- Boot into recovery mode (Home+ Power + Volume Up)
- Choose to wipe/factory reset.
(THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
- Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!

In TWRP v2.6.3.0 look under mount and see if Micro Sdcard has an "x" if there is no "x" check this and go back to the screen where is says reboot ... reboot recovery from there, once rebooted in recovery go to install and in the top (if you are on v2.6.3.0) you should see storage, tap that and you should have a choice from internal storage and Micro SDcard, if you see Micro SDcard there you should select that and hit ok.

My apologies. I didn't see any of the replies since my email subscription went to my spam folder.
Thank you for those of you who took the time to try and help me.
I know I didn't have to flash stock, but it was more of me being desperate and just trying to put ANY rom on to get it to turn on.
By some weird luck, I had got my tablet working the next day. Basically, in defeat, I just let it sit on the charger overnight thinking a full tank of gas would help it. The next morning, I seriously just pressed all the button combinations and managed to get it to go into recovery and see my SD. I tried yet again to install the Omni Rom again but no dice. It gave me an error again.
So I tried to install a rom again, this time the PAC-rom.
It worked!
Tablet is functional again!
So thank all of you and the electronics god for the miracle!
Have a great weekend you fine folks!
