Howdy, one thing i want to ask is which recovery can i flash with my unit s5660M (with letter M). I tried flashing CWM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493932 under MyRoms because other links were dead. He mentioned that this recovery can only be used when flashing HIS rom. I tried flashing other rom not coming from him and didn't worked. I want to flash CM based rom. What right recovery can i use? Can i flash recovery for s5660 (without M)?
When I try to install a rom it wont install system files it skips over them only to extract some apps which means no bootup.
Any suggestions?
I've tried to install stock and then wipe and then install a rom and i still get same result however sometimes when i flash stock with odin i get fail at the very end whether it be for HLOS file or modem...
I think i can fix this if i wipe my partitions and get them partitioned again.. or maybe one of Odin's tick marks could help??
:crying:
please help
I'll probably sell this phone
More information is needed. What version of stock are you running? Are you rooting your phone? Are you installing a custom recovery? Which custom recovery are you using? Name at least one rom other then stock you've tried to install and how you tried to install it. I would guess no one has responded because they don't have the information needed to give you the help you are asking for.

Im having the same problem too I cant seem to install no rom other then the backup of my Stouck MDL...I tired installing wicked rom and of course it got stuck at the Samsung screen and i did everything when it came to wiping it ....sooo the i tried insane KItKat and that to as well got stuck on boot and im on the latest TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery running MDL stock
I've tried to install with CWM Recovery by OUDSH and TWRP and no luck I've tried installing WickedRom Hyperdrive and GE by Kot49H I can only install stock with Odin and the reason its not installing is because its avoiding the extraction of system files to the phone.

Thanks so much for this - I have looked at the how to install the rom but can i ask one question? I tried to install the custom recovery in TWRP which found the device but when installing it ran the TWRP 2.6 and not 2.7.0.1 and when i tried to reboot in recovery i got a bootloop so had to reflash the stock rom. I am not sure if this caused the bootloop but because I dont want to make the same mistake again so can you step me through how to get the recovery ready prior to Intalling the rom in twrp??
first you must be on the 4.4.2 bootloader to flash this rom (flash P605XXUCNE2 with odin) 2 :make a fullwipe 3: flash TWRP 2.7.0.1(LTE) with odin 4: flash xKat v3.1 .The end
As the title stated, I've lost Custom Recovery upon flashing a new Custom ROM. I am using dual recovery, and I totally forgot to re-flash the recovery after flashing the newest Custom ROM I am using. Now I am unable to go to recovery, and planning to flash stock using flashtool and start from the scratch. I still have a nandroid backup with all my data but unable to restore it because of the lack of recovery. I would be happy If you can help me!
PS: Btw, I am currently on 5.0.2. Reinstalling dual recovery through the installer still won't work.
Update: Problem SOLVED. I've flashed this [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57576644&postcount=111] through fastboot and reboot to recovery using advanced power menu option.
I recently installed CWM after unlocking my bootloader. But realized after that every ROM requires different recovery (boot.img in the roms). But to install custom ROM you have to flash boot.img and that's what I did with the help of flashtool, but after when I'm trying to boot into recovery it's not even starting! let alone booting into recovery! , I think I bricked my phone guys! How to solve it? Please help!
I tried flashing stock firmware ftf with flashtool, and it worked! Now my phone is back stock 4.1.2.
But still one doubt how did flashing boot.img that came with flashtool soft bricked my phone? did I do something wrong? Also that boot.img was of CM 12 that i was installing at that time. Was that because I flashed boot.img even after having CWM installed prior?
Did you flash the rom from 4.3?
*blink*
Ya, I flashed the CM 12 on 4.3. But when I flashed the kernel i.e. boot.img supplied by the this zip-- ( CM11 unofficial FXP-cm-12-20150203-UNOFFICIAL-z3c_2) zip my phone bricked. I think there was something wrong with the zip, Cos today I flashed new cm-12-20150209-NIGHTLY build and it worked!
Can we change the kernel from Cynogen recovery to CWM ? and can CM 12 work with CWM?

Try fotakernel, use either cwm or twrp, they are permanent (until you flash the original fotakernel)
