Remove gt-I9100 after installing CWM on SPH-D710 - General Questions and Answers

I recently went through the efforts to install the rom and kernel for the SGS2E4gT. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514665 this one here, now, I can get it to install, boot, run, everything with no problems, but what I want changed is that after installing the CWM EL26 the phone boots with a gt-I9100 under the Samsung Galaxy S logo. I want to remove this and set it back to the regular boot screen without CWM as the default boot recovery. I've tried useing the auto rooting tool to install a different boot image and fix the logo, but every time afterward the phone won't boot to the system and I have to start from square one.
Does anyone know how to do this where that rom will load with the proper boot image

Anyone, please, I've been at this for hours

I've gone through every option I can think of now, if theirs anyway to just change the boot image that shows when you first load the phone I'd be happy with that.

[Q] cwm keeps looping in recovery mode, unable to flash to htc recovery

so i recently got a HTC one S, wanted a custom skin, and followed this:
www[dot]theandroidsoul[dot]com/miui-4-one-s/
tutorial in order to get cwm installed so i could instal a custom rom.
each step worked perfectly until i had to reboot into recovery mode and when i was going to instal
the OS everytime i clicked down to select 'format', the screen did a half second blink and would simply restart cwm.
the only way to get out of it was hold the power and volume to force a restart.
i them attempted to flash back to the default htc recovery (if i cant have my cake, least let me have what i had before)
unfortunately it gave me the error in cmd that the .img was unable to be read.
so wonderful. now i am almost positive this is something i am doing wrong,
but i just can't pick out what and i'll admit i'm not familiar with flashing, ect.
i've tried to follow tutorials such as forum.xda-developers[dot]com/showthread[dot]php?t=1707550
but am unable to even flash anything rom or otherwise,
i just keep getting stuck at the cwm recovery.
edit:
i attempted the fix mentioned in another thread about using the all in one,
now my phone simply crashes at recovery and wont even start recovery.

[Q] SGH-I727R Cannot boot into recovery

Hi, hope someone can help out with this.
I originally tried to flash a ROM to my phone that was not for the I727, and the flash failed, so I decided to recover to stock. I followed (carefully) the steps to recover to stock and eventually got Odin to flash the stock ROM. I was unable to flash the ROMs from the links provided, but when I tried the K0nane link, it PASSed. But, after doing that I cannot boot into recovery, and when I turn the phone on it's stuck at the splash screen.
I can still get into download mode and Odin recognizes the phone, and I can flash the K0nane ROM, and I've done that a few times now with the same result.
Where do I go from here?
-UPDATE - I just tried again...was able to flash the K0nane rom through Odin. When Odin rebooted the phone it just stays on the splash screen. I waited last time for 20-30 minutes, with no change. Hoping I did not mess up the phone beyond recovery.
Pull battery, boot into recovery, factory reset.

Like I mentioned, I can't boot into recovery. It shows the 'Galaxy' text screen, then just goes black instead of going into recovery.
I think I\m on the way now. One thing in the troubleshooting list I hadn't tried.....try it on a different computer. Tried it on my Windows 7 laptop and it worked. Now going to try again to install cwm and custom rom.

[Q] How do I revert back to stock and unroot?

I thought it would be cool to see what the fuss is about rooting and loading a custom ROM but I just dont see the point after playing around the last few days.
I followed the rooting instructions online for the HTC One S ville and then made it to the loading Clockwork Recovery onto the phone and performing an Nandroid backup like it suggested. Well thats where I ran into the issue of not being able to boot into anything else afterwards it would just keep booting to Clockwork Recovery screen. I figured out that I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds and then it will boot properly to stock android ROM. So once I figured that out I began using the tutorial to load the Viper ROM. Once I loaded the viper rom I ran into an issue at step #11
After you configured it, reboot to your bootloader in fastboot mode

I stopped there because I was still stuck at the issue of being booted to the Clockword Recovery screen and unable to get to the bootloader screen. Even now if I shutdown my phone it just restarts to the Clockwork Recovery screen and I have to do the 10 second power button trick to get around it. (remember I did not complete steps 11-20 from post #5 here on the instructions)

Did you wide data/cache before you flashed your custom rom?
There are several ways to get back to your stock rom... If you made a backup of your stock rom via cwm just restore it.. if you didnt make a backup just find the correct ruu for your device and flash it that way, if you dont have super cid you will need to find the correct ruu or it will not flash. If you need any more infomation please let me know and i will do my best to help you out step by step.

Keep trying to get into the bootloader with holding the power for 10 seconds then as soon you see stop flashing hold the Vol- and power then use the all-in-one kit to install TWRP recovery then you wont have this problem any more and you will still need to fastboot boot.img for the rom to work.

Rooting and recovery

I have a problem when I reboot into recovery. The recovery that I am using on my HTC One S is TWRP. When I go into the bootloader and go to recovery, it will boot up to the HTC screen with red text on it. Then the phone will restart and boot normally. Then I would have to go to bootloader again and go into recovery and then it goes into TWRP. I don't know why I have to do this twice. I am not sure what I have done wrong and I can't find a way to fix this. Also I've been trying to flash CM10 and on the first boot, it stays on the animation for a long time. And one last thing. Root checker says I am rooted but when I use Apex Launcher and use a stock HTC widget, it says that it doesn't have root permissions. So can anyone help me with this? This is also my first time on XDA. Another problem. When I restore from a backup, it boots up fine. But then it stays on the lockscreen for couple of seconds and it restarts again. And when I rooted my phone by flashing SuperUser, It didn't say upgrading android. Was it suppose to?
Bump. I too have this problem with booting twice to get into recovery and can't find any answers. Thanks.
I have the exact same issue. I experienced it with both CWM and TWRP. Also when I reboot from recovery, the device seems to reboot twice, and it gets back to normal with a dialog asking if I want to send an error report to HTC. I was beginning to wonder what I have done wrong.

I would suggest downloading the newest twrp recovery IMG and flashing it with fastboot.. As far as flashing cm 10 make sure you flash the boot.IMG through fastboot before you flash the ROM..and wipe both caches after installation.. If you get stuck at boot animation go back to recovery and wipe both caches again...are you guys all using the all in one tool... Or flashimggui..?

Stuck in startup animation loop

I unlocked and rooted my tablet yesterday and everything appeared to be working fine. After using it for a couple hours and restarting it a few times it stopped working and is now locked in a boot loop. When I try boot the tablet it comes on and gets to the animation where the glint of light goes across the Asus logo but it does not finish and instead it stops there and I get the moving circles at the bottom. I've left it running there for several hours and it just hangs.
I've tried erasing the data and booting to linux but the same thing happens when I try either of those.
I've also tried flashing a number of different ROMs, but all that happens is it starts installing and then I get the Android guy on his side error screen.
I hadn't done anything to the ROM and was still running 10.6.1.14.4. I even downloaded that same ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266519 but I get the same error message when I try flash that ROM.
I would really, REALLY appreciate any ideas at all - and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

this gonna sound odd but i had exact same prob when i rooted and flashed chromix rom. it went. what i did was flash it once with the rom with secure wipe, then i flashed again. and it got stuck at optimizing apps,then i tried reflashing couldnt get it to boot, what i ended up doing was using clockwork mod to factory reset my tablet, then had to restart, and reflash, this time it actually got to main screen. dont let it discharge/reboot for awhile as im bout to post a issue im having with it. but thats what i did to make it work for me.

I'm not sure I understand --- how do I get to the clockwork mod if i can't get past the startup animation? And I've tried a bunch of roms with secure wipe and i get an error from every one of them.
didnt you install clockwork mod first?

the thing i found showed me to installed the clockwork mod first before i did any flashing, i rooted device then i flashed once clockwork mod was installed, i had to root, then install rom manager and goo manager, from within there i installed the clockwork recovery script/mod then i proceeded to flash chromi-X DEODEX.
Did you flash the correct bootloader? I had the same problem, look for my posts in the last few pages of ChromiX.

Seems to me you installed Asus factory stock rom JB 4.2.1 (10.6.1.14.4), which means you have the latest bootloader, then you unlocked and rooted your device, however, you never installed any custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (clockmod). Now your device is boot looping. You need to boot into stock recovery by turn off your device, hold volume down and power button until you see white text on the screen, now release both buttons, you should see 3 icons (RCK, Android and wipe data). NOW you are in fastboot mode. Let me know at least you can get that far, before we continue....

buhohitr -- You're exactly right. I can boot into stock recovery. When I select Android or wipe data it goes back to the animation screen and hangs up. When I select RCK it goes to the Android guy and says installing update but then it show him fallen over and the word Error. I've tried RCK with a memory card that has a number of different ROMs on it but the same thing keeps happening.

Give this a try, the factory Asus firmware zip file that you downloaded, unzip the file, you should see another zip file, rename this new zip file to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quotation), then copy it to the root of your sdcard then boot into stock recovery and execute the RCK again. Make sure you don't have any other zips laying around in the root of your sdcard.
You are truly a god among men.

THIS WORKED!!! Thanks so much. I was really worried I had bricked it.
So now one last question --- WHY did that work? Is there somewhere I could go to read up on this kind of stuff? I've tried surfing the XDA forum but there's a lot of stuff like this where someone gets there problem solved, but not much explaining why something worked so I can learn more about it.

Somehow the stock recovery was reinstalled on your tablet, thus letting this method work. It however does not on CWM or TWRP. All you did was manually reinstall a stock rom back onto your tablet. How it got the stock recovery is beyond me unless you flashed a stock ROM from CWM and didnt realize what you were installing.

Since the JB 4.2.1 upgrade, this is the most reliable method to install Asus full stock firmware. Also, since you're unlocked, let root the device by go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763 download the tool and root it. Once rooted, I suggest that you should install TWRP custom recovery, by download Goomanager from the market, open the app and tab on the 3 little boxes on the top right hand corner, select "install recovery scripts" , this will shutdown your device and install custom TWRP recovery script, once this installed, you can download "rebooter" from the market and this app has many options, one of them is allowed you easily boot into custom recovery.
