What i understand is that you need ROM's to be *.md5, almost every ROM is *.zip, how do i flash that one? i need flash through odin because my galaxy went softbricked.
what do yo mean by soft brick ?? u cant go to recovery mode ??
install Offical rom then hack it with a kernel , go to recovery mode and install rom
there isnt anyway to install custom zip rom from odin

i tried to install a custom rom but my phone doesnot boot neither it starts in download mode. please suggest what should i do
You could try to flash the stock rom for your phone again. Search Google if there is a stock rom ftf file and flash it with Flashtool
Another possibility is check if you have installed the correct kernel for your custom rom and install both again.
AW: [Q]is my phone soft bricked or hard bricked?

Could you give details about your installation process? A jig could fix your problem or in other words it could boot your phone in download mode.
If your recovery is available flash a custom ROM with it.

i installed the rom under normal conditions. for your info i have done this plenty of times but this time i m clueless. i have ordered for a jig but is there any other way to get my phone back?? please suggest.
Have you tried to flash it with 'Flashtool'?
Have you installed the correct Kernel for your custom rom?
Another solution might be to look in the internet for 'wotan server' - here you could try to restore your phone but it will cost a little.
u could also try odin to flash your original formware
Other than the jig is there any way to start the mobile in download mode??
You could try going into flash mode then flash a new kernal or by going into fastboot mode to flash a new custom ROM in Flashtool.
But I think this only works with Xperia Phones.

sorry, didn't have that in mind but you didn't tell us yet what phone you have and if you have used 'Flashtool' or 'Odin Flash tool' which is for Samsung phones, so it is very difficult for us to help you

you shouldn't have to use odin to flash a rom on your phone, odin should be for recovering your devices back to stock or flashing a custom recovery. does it have a recovery on it right now?

I don't think you can without reflashing stock rom.
BTW whats the problem with cwm or twrp ???
They are much better than stock recovery
And we don't get any OTA update so we don't need stock recovery for any reason..

Hey,
If you have TWRP recovery installed, download the backup of the stock rom from here and restore it.
Cheers.

If that method didn't work, my suggestion would be to take it to HTC service center and get it repaired or replaced.
Hello,good day. I have a Samsung galaxy s3,rooted,running on 4.4.2, on the settings[about phone]it show Samsung i9300 but when booted into download mode it showsSCH-I535. I suspected something was wrong because i have tried to install CWM recovery but none have seem to work. I don't know if it is safe to flash a custom ROM via cyanogen mod via PC because i guess it does not need a recovery to flash via pc,i don't know if i should continue with this situation i have because i am afraid i might brick the phone. Your help is very much appreciated
REGARDS
i cant flash any recovery and i cant install any Rom,and i would like to use cyanogen 4.4.4 Rom please help

Ok Kaushdroid,I'll do as you said
Would it be safe to flash a custom rom via odin since its safe to flash a stock rom?
Witout fear of bricking the phone?

Yes dude flashing a custom rom is 100% safe via odin. But your custom rom should be a tar file but it is 100% safe to flash a custom rom via odin.
Press thanks if help.

Mmm are you sure about that? I don't know of any custom roms in .tar format that you can flash with Odin. Custom roms come in .zip format only stock roms/kernels come in .tar please correct me if i'm wrong.
