Ok I have looked around the form found links mostly with dead links. So I had installed terasilent kernel and Icy Fushion rom. Well I lost all of my Google apps tried to get them back but couldn't. So I seen a thread in the developement area on restoring to stock rom. Well I tried the Odin way loading a PIT file repartitioning and loading the rom. Well that got me to the recovery boot loop. I can install custom kernel but it boot no further and right into recovery. I can flash with odin and everything passes and reboots and it goes right into recovery. I have tried diffrent kernels still in the recovery loop. Any suggestion would be great. Currently using the terrasilent kernel and recovery. ROMS flash and pass but do not boot into the ROM

Find a thread with a CWM flashable stock ROM. What device do you have?

i tried flashing a CM rom with ROMmanager. but that program isn't working on my phone for some reason. every time i try to reboot the phone into the clockworkmod recovery screen, it just takes me to the phones normal recovery screen. i'm a bit of a noob because i've never done this before, so if anyone could give me an alternative to flashing a custom rom or just help me fix ROMmanager, that would be awesome. (i also planned on installing an overclocking kernel, so i don't know if other methods would have any effect on me being able to do that or not.)
try flashing with rsd lite 4.9

While you are still on stock rom, the stock recovery will keep coming back on every reboot. Try flashing clockworkmod recovery from within Rom Manager, let the phone reboot and then flash it again. You should be able to flash a Custom Rom now.
This is how it worked for me.

well thats the problem. i flashed the clockworkmod recovery screen, but it's still taking me to the phones normal recovery screen.
Try flashing an alternate recovery then flash clockwork again. I had a similiar problem and this helped me.

Trying to help out my friend. He rooted his Galaxy S 4G and was trying out different roms and now it's stuck in recovery. He brought it to me--I can pretty much fix anything Android--I've helped a lot of people on XDA, but this one has completely stumped me.
I've Odin'd several different Official Stock restore packages, recovery packages, etc. Everything has the same effect, no matter the rom or the recovery, the phone will always (re)boot back into recovery. Selecting reboot system reboots it back into recovery. No matter what. I must have flashed Stock via Odin about 10 times today. Same results every time.
Right now it's stuck in the 3e recovery screen. But I can flash a Voodoo recovery, but it still gives the same effect.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a bootloader sequence anyone knows about, that he may have changed? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
Follow the guide in the second link of my signature to fix.
Awesome! That worked! Followed the guide. I had already flashed stock, but I didn't know you could flash the bootloaders using a .jar package. It worked. I guess he jacked with his bootloaders.
actually, bootloaders would corrupt boot period. You'd be stuck in a "FIRMWARE UPGRADE FLASH FAILED" screen, or phone won't boot period. So, I think I know what the problem was.
When hopping from roms to other roms, specially on Kxx Based Touchwiz roms, your cache tends to get corrupted. Had you reflashed cache.rfs and a stock zImage using heimdall, it'd fix the issue, and data wouldn't vanish.
I've crawled through the development. I've flashed a ROM before, but went back to a rooted stock version because of the bugs in the builds I was using. But now, basically any time I flash something new, it bricks at the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 screen.
I've done:
Flashed back to non-root stock firmware (newer)
Then flashed the CF Autoroot, installed Mobile Odin, flashed CWM official 6.0.2.3 for the 3113. When I install CM9, brick.
PA doesn't brick immediately but sticks at the splash with the shark.
So, I flashed back to non-root stock, CF Autoroot, installed CWM 6.0.1.1 and tried again. All ROMS besides PA hang at boot screen (like before), PA hanging at the shark.
I figured it was a kernel issue? So, I've tried both Dhollmen and AGNI. No change.
I can get it to rooted stock JB, but I don't *want* that, I want something that isn't so freaking bloated and buggy.
Ideas?
*edit*
So, after installing TWRP 2.5 on top of stock, I downloaded Rom Manager, installed CWM and CM9 through that. Got past the initial boot screen, but seem to be stuck on CM Splash. Would flashing older stock image and trying from there help?
This might seem like a dumb question since you say you have flashed ROMs before: are you doing a "clean" install? I also will wipe cache and dalvic cache AFTER each install. I only have "bricked" a device one time and that is when I tried short cuts. I also ALWAYS follow the developers instructions to the letter.

Hello! I was looking for some help with flashing ROMs. I have had my A700 flashed with other ROMs before like CM and IconiaN, but for some reason, now it will only boot the stock ROM. I had CM11 on it and decided to go back to IconiaN. Well, it wouldn't boot. To try and fix this, I went back to full stock ICS with a locked bootloader and stock recovery and started from scratch. I've tried about 4 or 5 times, unlcking the bootloader and flashing CWM, but every time I try to flash anything other than an official update.zip in CWM, it just hangs at the splash screen with the animated Acer logo. I did have TWRP for awhile too, but I had CWM originally and I have it now. Thanks!

Hey guys! Nevermind! I went back to stock again and tried another ROM first before I tried IconiaN, and it booted! So I guess it was just the .zip of IconiaN I have. Weird too because I re-downloaded the .zip. Anyway, I'm good now!
Dear xda community,
I recently have been given a gt-p5110 to play around with.
Sadly i have not succeed in flashing a rom onto it...
I have some basic knowledge on flashing rom's but so far I hadn't had much luck...
I plan on flashing slimrom7 but I can't even get a proper recovery flashed...
I have tried flashing TWRP recovery using ODIN.
Even tough it says that the recovery is flashed successfully it doesn't appear to be working...
I also tried using ADB but I couldn't maintain a stable connection...
Hopefully someone is able to help me!
Kind regards,
Kevin Jansen.
After flashing with Odin you need to directly boot into TWRP, else stock rom restores stock recovery at boot.
How?

Thanks for your reply,
How would I do this??
And do you know where I can find the original stock rom + recovery in case I would like to restore it to stock?
Kind regards,
Kevin Jansen.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin.
After flashing wait 1 minute.
Disconnect your tablet from PC.
Boot recovery.
That's it
Stock firmware (.tar.md5) most of the time includes stock recovery.img. the .tar.md5 can be flashed with odin too.
you should find stock firmware here for your Device: http://samsung-updates.com
