I tried to flash a aokp rom and before flashing made a back up. Now when I flashed the rom and rebooted the phone im stuck at samsung boot. I can get into recovery. At first it was a messed up recovery i tried to get to an old rom and reinstalled inimitable on reboot still stuck at samsung but can get into red recovery. Backup when reinstalling says cant mount system/! please help me asap I cant do anything I need my phone I am in panic mode.
Have tried reflashing The ROM again...or if you just want to go back to stock see my signature for links to the one click method
...btw your in the wrong section to post this...
The OP for aokp does state to flash twice...did you?...first time with wipes, then you can pull battery ...go back to cwm and reflash...again.
going back to stock is your way. clear all that crap out

Post one to stock.....
Post two to put cwm back on....
Read with detail...the thread I provided....
Your probably going to need to go back to stock, but just so you know, flashing any ICS rom while on Gingerbread bootloaders will get you a "Messed up recovery" You'd have to flash ICS bootloaders, but doing that means you can't flash any non ICS roms, I personally still have a rainbowed recovery on the off chance I want to flash GB rom.

We have no ics boot loaders...froyo boot loaders make the recovery look funky...gingerbread boot loaders fix that problem and can be used with froyo, gingerbread and ics ...not trying to be rude or a jerk just informing you

Actually the "messed up" or rainbow recovery is from the lack of gingerbread boot loaders, just figured this out this morning when I attempted to flash aokp uniporn. Once I did the heimdall one click with bootloaders checked (gingerbread boot loaders) I was able to successfully flash the aokp rom and recovery works perfectly. Its really better not to reply when one does not know what they are talking about oh and I was still able to reflash a gingerbread rom as well although I probably won't go back to gingerbread again since aokp is the **** and runs super smooth

Please move this thread from the Development Section.
edit- Thanks for moving it.
Sorry about posting so quickly in wrong section. I just know the guys who post in here are pros. I used heimdall and everything is back to stock, no superuser. Should that be right, am I now not rooted? I havent tried to boot into recovery, but I think I have it still. Can I just follow root methods if I want to go back to root? Thanks again.
I my experiences, I've noticed our phones use a form of "Cumulative" Upgrade system, where You have to essentially go from Froyo to GB to ICS or things go haywire when you actually start using your ICS Rom..
I've tried using Heimdall to flash back to stock, but it doesn't seem to fix all my files from time to time, so I still use GTGs Ultimate Unbrick, and once it starts up as you're in Recovery Mode do a Factory Reset/Wipe Cache Partitions, it helps with not having the "Google Authentication Failed".
It's a long process from start to finish either way, so i figure save yourself the hassle for the long run and wipe it fresh...
I used heimdall without clicking the GB bootloaders checkbox. Upon reboot after sucessfully flashing everything, my phone shows the rainbow color thing then boots normally. I have no seen any issues other than that, however I only got it back up and running about an hour ago. I will see as the day progresses what happens. I just would like to know where I go from here to reacquire root priveleges. When I try to boot into recovery with the button combo I get a rainbow colored screen and nothing else showing, should I re-run heimdall with gb bootloaders box checked?
IME, one flash will lock on Samsung logo, 3 finger back to recovery, wipe everything, flash the rom again and flash the gapps and it would have been fine...
I have that happen everytime I have flashed an AOKP ics..it always works out fine..
Those instructions are in most of the OP's...
Its very important to read that and have an understanding of what exact steps there are before you just start flashing away...

Aft your 1st flash...dont close program...but put your phone back into download mode again and then it should allow you to check the box...then..
You probably can't mount until you format system, data, and cache. I had this issue before as well, Go to mounts and storage and Format system, data, and cache and then try mounting again.

my suggestion is do the method i mentioned..
This happened before but I can't remember how I fixed it.
1. Flashed TWRP (over codename if that helps)
2. it bootlooped back to recovery instead of starting the system
3. tried flashing another rom/ didn't work
4. finished season 2 of the walking dead
5. reflashed TWRP didn't help (TWRP flashing failed even tho it was the same file I used to get TWRP in the first place)
6. Took the battery out but that didn't help either
I really don't want to odin or use one click any ideas??

Meh, lets start with the first two...
To stop the reboot to recovery, you must flash eollie's oneclick with bootloaders (so flash it twice, second time flash bootloaders) and go back to mtd.

TWRP Major Boot Loop
hey guys, im new here and i desperately need help with my phone!
the other day i was flashing a rom on my samsung galaxy s 4g. Things were turning out fine, until i had some complications on my phone.. so, i removed the rom. when i rebooted my phone, it went directly into the team win recovery project boot loop and every time i try to reboot my phone, it goes into the twrp. I also can't wipe anything and i can't delete anything! Does anybody know how I can solve this or is my phone basically bricked
more details would be helpful..
As in what rom, or what kernel.... etc... and make sure you have the corret phone.
Same problem with t959p
Looks like I'm not alone.......here's my story
the other day I wanted to switch from a stock rom to a custom, so I flashed redux 1.3 which was actually a froyo rom, and it started draining my batt like crazy so I flashed another rom on top of the froyo rom not realizing what I was doing and somehow messed it up cuz now it will only boot into recovery.
Now just to be clear I know this was my fault, I know I should have odin'd back to stock first, but I wasn't thinking at the time.....Ohh and just so you know I've flashed this sucker hundreds of times and was always able to get out of any mess I got in.
So here is the situation as it stands now, 3 button combo to enter download does not work. I can only get it into download with the jig I made. the problem is even in download mode none of my pc's will detect the device as a Samsung composite device, so odin will not see it. I've installed every possible 32 n 64 bit driver I could find including reinstalling kies. Kies wont even see it. I've tried flashing a few roms that I know worked and still it just boots into recovery. Now one thing I'll tell you is that depending on which rom I flash I can get recovery to switch from cwm to twrp. right now I left it with cwm 6.x.
what I need is a cwm flashable stock telus t959p rom complete with bootloaders or at the very least a cwm flashable zip file containing the bootloaders to see if I can recover the phone.
ohh and if your thinking about telling me to google search for the answer then don't bother.......I've spent the last 4 days reading posts and going to different websites and repositories trying to find something that would help me and so far nothing has.
the only thing that might work as a last resort is pushing the bootloaders as per one of raver's or whitehawks posts but it's a little more complicated for me as I would have to set up a laptop with Linux as I don't think i'll be able to pull it off with any of my windows pc's, win7 and win 8 only.
so if anyone has the files I need or can make them please let me know....or if you think you have another solution I could try i'm all ears err eyes.
thanks

Have you tried heimdall one-clicks? Maybe it's showing up as gadget or something like that. I've had luck using zadig and heimdall to bring it back from the brink of death.

Woops replied to the wrong thread .
Nothing to see here, move along
Would like to revive a slightly dead thread.
I upgraded to a Galaxy S3 and no longer use my SGS4G for daily use. I had AOKP and disliked it, FC's and didn't like the feel. I have been trying to install a new rom ( old rom, VH Black Ed. ). Every time It loads into TWRP I have the ability to select the zip, install, it says complete, but reboots right back to TWRP menu. I've tried flashing CWM and it will install, flash the rom, reboot, and right back to this TWRP B.S... what am I doing wrong? I want to continue to use this SGS4g for music and internet duties.
How can I install CWM and have it stay even after a reboot? This TWRP is starting to me off
Did you happen to one click to stock before you went ham at the recovery?

i'm stuck in an endless bootloop after trying to upgrade the CM10 Beta 4 version on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus.
This is what i did
I'd upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 some months ago. Then flashed CM10 Beta 4 by ivendor.
For this i first downloaded the CWM -> recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar.md5 and flashed it using Odin.
Then the ROM file -> cm-10-20130324-ivendor-beta4-ariesve.zip
Was checking the updates on this and found much advances in the 2.5 release of 2 May 2013.
So downloaded the CWM -> CWMRecovery-6.0.2.8-ariesve-kernel26.tar.md5. When i tried to flash using Odin it gave me the MD5 error.
Saw somewhere on the forum to flash using zip file, so downloaded CWMRecovery-6.0.2.8-ariesve-kernel26.zip and tried to flash. This was when my phone got soft-bricked.
Removed the cable, battery etc. After some time, was able to go into Download mode but not Recovery.
Then i tried to flash to stock ROM (2.3.6) - I9001XXKQI_I9001XXKPM_I9001OXFKQ3_HOME.tar.md5. This completed and Odin said PASS. But the phone now goes into a bootloop. Tried the Recovery mode but after the Android-out-of-the-box symbol it again said SAMSUNG and started the boot. This is repeating continuously. What should i do now? Please help.
This is the sequence of things...
1) 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 - Success !!
2) Flash with CM10-Beta 4.a) recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar.md5 - OK
b) cm-10-20130324-ivendor-beta4-ariesve.zip - Success!!!
c) gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip - Success!!3) Flash with CM10-Release 2.5a) CWMRecovery-6.0.2.8-ariesve-kernel26.tar.md5 - MD5 checksum error !!
b) CWMRecovery-6.0.2.8-ariesve-kernel26.zip - Soft-bricked !!!4) Flash stock ROM (2.3.6) a) I9001XXKQI_I9001XXKPM_I9001OXFKQ3_HOME.tar.md5 - PASS
Bootloop
Cannot go into Recovery mode too (after Recovery mode icon appears SAMSUNG logo comes up and phone boots with the blue spiral, this goes into a continuous loop)

AFAIK, CM10 would have already consisted of the latest CWM, so there is no need of u to flash a CWM again over it!
Ur biggest mistake, u MUST have had a nandroid backup before doing anything to ur phone! This might have been even recommended by the thread of the CM10.
So my last suggestion from the things that u have done, flash the CWM through odin if possible right now and if successful get into recovery mode and wipe data & cache and check whether the bootloop is gone.
Else try reflashing the stock firmware.
If that doesn't even help, get help from the devs related to ur device through PM.
If hopeless still, then hit a samsung service center near u
Hit thanks rather than typing it
Will try this

A million thanks!! It somehow started now into the 2.3.6.
Flashing the recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar.md5 did not solve the bootloop. Then i flashed the Boot_loader.tar. That too did not solve the bootloop. Tried Recovery mode again but the SAMSUNG logo kept coming and going until i released my fingers after a full two minutes. Then before the android-out-of-the-box icon came it went straightaway into Recovery .
Wiped Data and Cache and rebooted. After a very very long time it started and asked if im okay with the Google data collection policy asked in Polish language.
Wow, going to update to 4.1.2 Release 2.5 in some time.
Thanks again man. :good:

Also pasting here an easter egg that i saw after loading Gingerbread 2.3.6 before this CM10.
Putting this because i tried this for the first time in GB (the seven times click on android version)
I'm stuck on the fuzzy samsung logo right after the sharp one, and right before the colorful boot animation.
Not vibrating repeatedly, but I checked and cleaned the power button.
It was acting buggy after having embryo 7 for a long time with no problems.....Then things started happening a lot, so I changed back to 6. Then one day recently embryo 6 locked up on boot and here I am!
I don't know what caused all this, but I can't get in to recovery either. It looks like it's going to, but then it freezes on the CWM start up screen. Never could get it in to recovery, but I was able to get it in to download mode, AND it looked like I successfully flashed the stock firmware according to Odin. BUT then it froze on at&t screen during start up. AND THEN went back to being frozen on mohans fuzzy samsung screen.
I really was trying to search, but I can't find it.... Help? Anyone....?
Dogs you do factory reset after Odin?

It looked like it was trying to restart after Odin finished the install, and the phone never made it past the water drop. Froze in the middle of that part. After a long time I finally unplugged it, and touched the power button. Then it went back to the original screen I was stuck on, and I could never get it to go in to CWM. It starts to, and then gets stuck.
I'm guessing you flashed cymbaline 3.8 on embryo 6. That kernel has issues. Reflash with 3.5 and see what happens. Should be stable then

I was just trying to go back to stock. Are you saying that the kernel will still be different even though I was going back to stock through Odin?
I liked mohan's ROM's, but I guess he got a different phone. I never had problems before, but if it's a kernel I can flash will that work through Odin?
Sorry if my questions are annoying, but I just want to make sure I can do it through Odin, AND I don't want to flash it if I'm too far gone for it since I can't even get in to recovery.

I dont know whats the problem, but why you no try embryo 7?, i installed it yesterday with cymbaline 3.8 and not issues at the moment. I flashed it with CWM, i dont know why you are talking about odin, but if im wrong its ok, i installed embryo 7 with cwm.

You can have "the arms at boot up" without that rom.
To get into recovery, which seems like it's damaged for you, flash TWRP from odin.

Ok, maybe a solution could be install TWRP, or my solution could be installing the oficial android 4.1.2 from odin and then download the CWM recovery and proceed to flash Embryo.

I appreciate the help, and I did try to install the official 4.1.2 from Odin. Twice. Both times the screen from odin looked exactly like it was supposed to if it was successful. It then tried to restart my phone as part of the install process, and then the phone freezes on start up screen......and done.
CANNOT get the phone in to recovery mode every time I try, but it goes in to download mode no problem.
That's why I'm here and still scratching my head. I'm stuck using a fusion I usually just have for my kid as a toy around the house.

So u need to use Odin and flash a stock image back on the phone, go to sammobile.com and DL the firmware for ur device then place the phone in download mode load the tar file in Odin and click start, when it's done DL the latest twrp as its a little better than cwm because its updated more regularly, then use Odin to flash the recovery to the device and now u are back to stock rooted and from there with twrp, all is possible

Thanks to you also. Everything's right with the world again.
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 gt3113. It is rooted,and I want to install a rom. The factory rom/kernel lags...get stuck ....and with all I have read the roms out there make a big difference. But I'm having a problem....I'm using rom manager and rom toolbox and I cant seem to install a rom. It load the rom whether from the computer or the download option but when it boot into recovery I get an error saying that the sd card is not found and I just end up manually re-booting the device....Ive tried this a few times choosing different things at the screen...a(abd....cashe....external storage....) it all ends up the same.....anyone have any idea what this means? I'm learning as I go....and was thinking about un-rooting my device then rooting it again.....maybe I did something wrong?
Complety bewildered....

if you are able to boot into recovery then please wipe cache partition and do a factory reset and then try to revert to stock rom

For starters, stay away from ROM Manager! It's known to cause different sorts of problems on different devices while installing CWM and ROMs. I have only good things to say about ROM Toolbox in terms of tweaks and utilities, but never used it for ROM installation, and would suggest not to. Just download the ROM you want from its original source, put it on internal or external storage, and flash using your recovery (my personal all-time favourite is PhilZ Touch CWM, not sure what you are using). Do the proper wipes before flashing (full wipe is always recommended, especially between stock and CM/AOSP ROMs. Make sure you also flash other possibly applicable components (depends on the ROM and your preferences) -- gapps, kernel, etc. See if it works that way. I just don't see any reason to use 3rd-party apps for "ROM management" -- the simpler the process, the better.
I'm going to try to put a new rom on the tab tonight without using a program,i have a question though...I have to press power and the up volume or power and the down volume when i flash the new rom

You are in recovery... To get to download mode on P31xx for using Odin you need to press and hold Volume DOWN + Power.
ok.....so I need to be in the download mode to download anything including roms and kernels....so I have to use odin to download stuff then?

I think you need to do some research.

Man, that sounds scary! You really need to do some reading on the basics, before you screw something up.
You can flash ZIP files from recovery, including ROMs, kernels, recoveries, and apps. However, you need Odin, a PC connection, and a download mode on your tab in order to flash things like official ROM packages (typically in tar.md5 format).
If you want to flash the ROM in zip format, you can do that in recovery. In general, if you have problems doing that, your other option is Odin and a stock ROM; then you can start over.
Looking closely at your photo, you have a stock recovery. You can only flash signed zips from it, which means you won't be able to flash custom ROMs or kernels. I would suggest to start with flashing a custom recovery (look up PhilZ Touch CWM, it's the best). This will make things easier for you.
P.S.: Sorry, didn't mean to sound harsh... It seems things got a bit confusing in the process, so questions and answers didn't really line up...
well ....I have been doin a lot of research,maybe too much lol....but the only thing I can get outta all of it is that to flash a kernel or rom or both I need to go into recovery(power and up volume) and do a wipe of the cashe and install.....then it seems to trail off there with a ok now your done go enjoy....
I cant seem to find any kinda description of what happens in between the wiping of the cashe/devlick and the install...I keep ending up in the recovey section wheather I use rom manager rom toolbox or just me following directions. I will say this though.....I do not see the cwm logo in the recovery....I stiil have the android and he lays there dead then does a quick flash to an error message then I get the menu....but there is no "mount and storage" and "backup and restore" option for me to choose from I put the tab into recovery mode and took a picture....its in the previous post.
I am still using the stock rom and kernel btw....Im not sure if I have mentioned that. I havnt been able to flash anything.

Yeah, I got that. Sorry for the confusion! I updated my previous post, take a look. Stock recovery seems to be your problem here.
No harm done lol I appreciate all the help.....I'm a bit new at this,but I learn quick. Ok....I may be putting CWM or pfilze wrong way on my tab I loaded it from the play store,along but when I rooted tab I'm 99% positive that I installed CWM also . when I plug it into the computer I can see a clockwork folder.do I neeed to use odin to install philz?
is there a specific PhilZ Touch for the tab 2? or can I just download it to the computer and send it to my tab via odin?

Not sure exactly what and how you did previously, but the fact is that you've got a stock recovery now. You need a custom recovery - it doesn't have to be PhilZ, even though I strongly recommend it. You can install standard CWM, too, no problem with that. To install PhilZ, you either need CWM to be already installed, or you need to use Odin.
For details and install instructions on PhilZ CWM, look here:

Oh, BTW, as an alternative to Odin, look up the Mobile Odin by Chainfire on Play Store. It allows you to flash Odin packages from your device directly. Very useful tool! Free version will do, but the paid one has more features.

Yes, there is. Look in the thread I linked above.
Yep.....i got it stuck in forever boot using mobile odin.... Uugggh....I'm gonna return everything to stock and re-root it.....what ever I did the first time rooting and installing cwm I must a missed a step or something. I'll repost my progress when I'm back to stock and rooted properly
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
YAY!!! Merry Christmas to me!!! I unrooted and repaired my tab 2 7.0 . I also re-rooted it and installed philztouch and everything is installed properly this time. Funny thing though.....after I got the tab working and before I re-rooted it...I tried to do the factory update to 4.2.2 ,since now I'm only on 4.1.1,it said that I had the latest updates available and my apps and phone list didn't auto load like when I first got my tab....hhhmmmm...anyways it works now and all root stuff and twrp is properly :highfive::highfive: only one more question...now that TWRP is working....when I want to download a kernel or rom do I leave it in Zipped form when I put it on the tab and the tab unzips it and flashs it or do I unzip it? .....sorry for all the basic questions but ya cant learn unless you ask questions
Thanks for every ones help with my Tab 2!!!

Well, congrats, and merry Christmas! A bit confused - are you using PhilZ CWM, or TWRP?
As for zip files, leave them as they are, don't unzip - the recovery will install them. Just a suggestion - whenever possible, especially for large files like complete ROMs, verify the MD5 checksum to make sure your file is not corrupt during download.
just went into recovery and it says Philz touch 6
