maybe try flashing it again after downloading the tar file again...
weird that installing CWM did the job but it may mean that some files replaced by CWM in recovery partition did the trick...?
Try reinstalling and report if the problem persists...

It worked. though i still didnt get why it happened.

That cant be the case since the second time i used the same file, the time it worked.

I have a rooted ardatdat v02 kernel. When I flash the v1.8.1 kernel through cwm recovery by installing .zip from sd card, it gets successfully installed .zip message and then i reboot the device it gets stuck at the Samsung logo. What to do?
Also when i tried to flash zsle6 TGY ROM using odin it failed and gave a binary signature error

I tried installing 2.3.6 XXKPQ.
I loaded OPS and then one package. But as I load the one package file it says "MDS Checksum Fail".
Please Help!!!
I faced the same problem when i tried that ROM....
though you shouldn't flash that ROM, you can do that by clicking on checksum fail...
the rom did work for me...

Okay. I did what you said. It worked like a charm!! Thank you.
Now I wanted to flash RAZODROID.
I did every thing as it said.
But now I'm stuck on the boot animation screen since ages!!
When I go to recovery mod, a sign of a hat sort of a thing displays; nothing else.
What do I do now?
Go to recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot hope that works

i think you didn't install CWM Recovery.
Download and flash CWM Recovery using ODIN.
Reflash RazoDroid and wipe Date/Cache.

Help installing CM10

I am having trouble, and since I cant post on the page where this should be asked. (this is my first post) I am asking here hoping that somebody will look...
I have rooted my verizon S3 and it works great... I am however trying to install a CM10 Rom on my device. I have followed the instructions and get all the way to selecting the zip on the sdcard. it finds it, it opens it and after about 20 seconds it gives me a status 7 error and says error in XXXXXX\XXXXX .zip
I have done all the steps perfectly and have formatted and wiped it twice trying this... I even have my backup in place...
I have tried 3 or 4 different cm10 roms and they all give me the same error... What am i over looking?
Thanks
I think you need to flash a CWM/kexec hybrid recovery.
Download the app EZ Recovery and flash the hybrid CWM 6.0.1.0

Well if he made the nooby mistake to flash cm10 with a non kexec recovery ..i think he should abandon his hopes of installing cm10 considerong the lost IMEI issue

That us not the issue... I can get into the CWM recovery just fine.. when I choose the install zip from sdcad and choose the rom it will go through finding the package, then opening the update package and then installing update... 20 seconds later i get some symlinks failed, then I get a status 7 error in the file itself..

nope and now im stuck boot looping TWRP after trying what you suggested unsuccessfully.
I appreciate the help... any ideas how I can get out of TWRP back to CWM so I can restore a backup?
Thanks..
You could always Odin back to stock then re-root and install cwm again and restore your backup. May be an easier way not sure. But back up your files on a PC if you do that.

I don't know how you are blaming me when I specifically told you to flash a ClockworkMod/Kexec recovery... not TWRP.
Seems your issue is lack of following directions. Good luck on solving your issue.

Stuck on bootloop from Clockworkmod 5.8.4.9

PLEASE HELP!! I have successfully rooted the device and was doing ok after flashing CWmod recovery 6.0.1 through E-Z recovery app and running Liquid Rom. I managed to be dumb enough to flash CWMod version 5.8.4.9 through Rom manager and when I rebooted my phone it got stuck in boot loop. I am able to get into CWMod 5.8.4.9 but I cannot restore my backup anymore. I can also data wipe and install a new rom, but it all just keeps going into bootloop and I cannot get past the samsung custom unlock screen. It first flashed that, then the android man pops up on the next screen like its loading something and then just keeps looping through the process. I did not use ODIN for any of this process and I dont know how to get myself back tothe point where I can reboot. Any help would be tremendously appreciated, because I'm dead stuck and in a panic. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Happend to me last night...
I made the same mistake... DO NOT download any recoveries from ROM manager. I found out the hard way... So the problem now is your phone is stuck using the recovery you downloaded. I am not sure of a quick way using that recovery if you can revert back but... My solution got me where I needed to be in order to get going again.
I had to use Odin to root to stock ROM. Yes when you wipe it will destroy your data but not your pictures, downloaded files, and other files you put on there. When I re-rooted with stock all my stuff for CM10, gapps, and the kexec CWM was there.
So use this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28530394&postcount=1
Section 1!!!!! And follow the steps EXACTLY the way it says to.
This is why i have never liked rom manager...
The best solution for us to flash recoveries is ez recovery free from the market. I would use this going forward once you Odin back to stock

[Q] I9003 would not get past 'Samsung boot logo'

Hello mates, I have a I9003 which would not get past the 'Samsung' boot logo. I already tried flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com but still the problem persists.
Tried PIT+BOOTLOADER+MODEM+PHONE+CSC,
MODEM+PHONE+CSC,
PIT+PDA (ONE FILE PACKAGE)
ONLY PDA (ONE FILE PACKAGE)
Nothing works, it is still stuck. I cannot wipe data/factory reset since I can't access stock recovery. Though going to download mode is not a problem.
Any fix for this? Or should I flash another stock ROM?
Try without sim card and flash cf root after full ddlf.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Free mobile app
I have made some progress, I think. While after flashing CF-Root for DDLF2 after clean installing it, I've waited for the phone to boot.
Now, it booted to the same Samsung I9003 boot animation, but after a while, I think it booted into recovery and started to wipe/install, though I'm not sure because the texts were going fast.
One thing I remembered was something with unable to mount /data among others. I saw other yellow texts, and also red texts, which seems to be errors (since I've used a CWM with other phones a couple of times).
After that, it got stuck to like a loading icon, like what you see when a video is buffering in Youtube, then reboots after a while to a stuck Samsung I9003 boot animation again.
Please help me mates, would be highly appreciated.

The thing is, I cannot boot to recovery mode with the 3 button combo. Only download mode mate.
Is there anything that I could flash in Odin that would reboot the phone to recovery mode?

Try flashing BCK CF-root universal. I think there was a beta 15rc7 version somewhere in the BAM kernel thread. It does include a recovery.
Only for GB ROMs, not Kitkat/JB ones.

I actually did that earlier, but the thing is as I've said is that I cannot boot to recovery with the 3-button combo. What I was hoping for is a file or kernel or anything that would automatically reboot the phone to 'recovery mode' after flashing it through Odin.

ADB wont work from download mode.
I'm sure you've tried this before, but can you try flashing complete ddlf2 package from here.
This has never failed me, yet. It's my fallback if everything else doesn't work.
All the best

I'll try in a bit after DLing the package. Should I flash this several times to work? Should I flash once with PIT and BL, then just CSC, PHONE, and MODEM?

Flash all 5 at the same time. See the snapshot shown in that thread.
Also, try a different odin version (i think 1.85 worked best for me) if it fails.

Flashed it and it actually booted to recovery mode. I'll list some of the errors that arose:
E:/format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Data wipe failed
Also tried the 'apply update from sdcard', and shows:
E:/failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:/failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)
Now I'll try to flash CWM to it and hopefully boots to recovery again and flash a custom ROM :fingers-crossed:
Well, I think another progress has been made, after flashing the DDLF2 firmware again, I waited for about 7 minutes and it got past the Samsung I9003 boot logo, and it goes to the Samsung boot animation, and after that, stuck at a boot loop.

So maybe the internal mmc is corrupted. I'm not sure one to follow but definitely not the one with the wonder go program since how can I enable USB debugging if it won't even boot. Should I try to flash DDLF2 with inserting a microSD card? Or should I remove the internal mmc, which I've read in another thread was kind of successful but a little hazardous.
Try to flash froyo 2.2 with pit. Logic is to reformat the structure of the memory.

I really appreciate the help mate. Would you refer me to a link for the 2.2 stock ROMs? As I only find GB firmwares, mostly old stock ROM links are down.
May find here

Sudden Bootloop after deleting files

My tablet (P3100) was running the last nightly of CM13 whwn this happened. I tried to download 2 big files namely the LineageOS build and opengapps on my tablet as I was preparing to make a clean flash. And when they both failed, I deleted both of them in the stock file manager. Now, the most unimaginable thing happened to my tab. It froze right after I pressed yes on the delete prompt and when I tried to turn it back on, it gets past the boot logo and just stays black. Recovery mode is not accessible but download mode is. Offline charging also works. I thought of flashing the stock firmware through odin but since I was not done backing up my files, Im afraid to do so as it could wipe the internal storage (does it?) My question is, can I flash the stock firmware and leave my files (not apps) untouched?

Your files will surely get deleted using an odin flash. Try odin flashing twrp and then tell me.

most likely yes because android marshmallow is newer then jellybean so yes if the stock doesnt work correctly then yeah and I dont think it should have deleted twrp and when you get twrp on there again use this backup on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ock-firmware-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-p5113-t3547723
UPDATE: I tried to flash andi's common twrp using odin but alas, twrp still does not work. I then flashed stock as a last resort and all my files were wiped unsurprisingly. Now running LineageOS without any problems (but I hope this does not happen again) thanks to all who tried to help
