Hi Team,
I had used KIES to upgrade to DDLF2.
Then used CF-Root and was successful in rooting.
Was impressed in Avatar ROM and wanted to try it.
As mentioned in the thread i followed the steps:
1) Took a NANDROID backup using CWM Tools
2) Copied the backup to my computer
3) Downloaded the Avatar ZIP to my SD Card
4) Opened the phone in Recovery mode
5) Did Wipe Data/Factory reset
6) Did Wipe cache partition
7) Flashed the Avatar ZIP file
But it is when i when it struck me that I have forgotten to include the Gapps package. But couldn't do anything as phone didn't reboot properly.
So i was stuck in the recovery screen. So thought of doing a restore of Stock ROM.
1) Did Wipe Data/Factory reset
2) Did Wipe cache partition
3) Did Restore from the nandroid backup
It is where the failure happened. I got some error (yesterday night).
Now my phone doesn't load after the BOOT Image and it doesn't open in recovery mode.
But phone loads in DOWNLOAD mode. So I tried connecting the phone to computer and opening in ODIN.
But now my phone is not detected in the ODIN.
I have downloaded the DDLF2 stock ROM from the thread. I am using Odin 1.85.
Could some one help me please.
Thanks for all your support.

Thanks friend. Followed ur instructions. After installing the samsung drivers, my phone is detected in Odin.
I have downloaded "I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_INU.zip" from "[ROM] STOCK ROMS for GALAXY SL I9003 {NOW GINGERBREAD 2.3.6}".
I referred the thread "[i9003][ROM] i9003 XXKPH (Gingerbread 2.3.4) Feedback", and found the instructions
Flash procedure:
- Flashed clean XXKPE. Factory reset and flashed KPH as PDA.
- Flashed the Battery_Fix KPE CWM and rooted using SOC 1.9.1. That version seems to work flawlessly everytime. (Its advisable to flash a XXKPH CWM and root without all the PDA hopping.)
- Flashed the normalboot.img from KPH.
- Deodexed using xUltimate 2.8
- Restored user apps with TB.
- Flashed amit's XXKPE CWM (No longer available. Use Skin's "CWM only" for XXKPH from his thread.)
Could you suggest me what has to be done now?

Hi all. The problem is this, I cyan9 through mobileodin to stock 4.0.4. after that I can not flash with odin 1.85 cwm or root, or other rom. Firmware stack after checking the hash file of rom. Stock recovery can not do anything too flash - freeze. How can I restore it?
I try flash stock 404 with pit, try install cwm from stock recovery and rooting, try diferent stock roms russian,indian,australia. - nothing.....
Have idea... Install cwm from recovery stock and flash cyan9 or 10.... But it's bad idea...
p.s. I'm from Ukraine, and somewhat easy in forum lot of information to read quickly, and a lot of bugs Thanks
Are you able to install CWM Recovery? if so then try these steps:
1) reboot to CWM
2) wipe data/factory reset in CWM
3) wipe cache
4) advanced > wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats
5) install .zip from INTERNAL SD
6) reboot
That was the problem that stock recovery remained. Firmware sink crooked rose. And One refused to flash (rom or recovery - PC freeze ). I have been through Heimdall(recovery iso) flash CWM recovery - and then by your advice. If it was all easy initially - the post would not create. Thank you.
I wanted to update from Android 2.3.5 to 4. I rooted my phone properly, and that went fine with Superuser elite. Because of upgrading, I installed CWM 5.0.2.7 via Odin. In the background CWM shows errors:
Code:
Cannot mount /cache!
And errors like that. I formatted microSD card, inserted it back, formatted it. The errors are still here. Because of the left cache folder, I couldn't install Android 4. I followed all guides on Internet, the problem is still here. I thought newer version of CWM will solve it, and I downloaded version 6 and flashed it through Odin(WHY?:crying. Now I cannot go to download mode or CWM, I am stuck at SAMSUNG logo when I boot the phone. Any help will be very appreciated. :highfive: The last thing I would do is to go to shop and request a new one, because my warranty expired in February. It's cost is 210 euro. This is the second time I almost bricked my device.
I'm trying this.

EDIT: ADB cannot see my device! I also tried Heimdall, but with no luck. This means I am screwed? Hope not!!

cwm doesn't support RFS . so you should format cache and data partition before installing custom ROMs.
goto recovery and do this:
wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
install zip from sdcard -> choose ROM file
wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
reboot

But, the real problem is: I cannot go to CWM or download mode! Also, I cannot format cache via CWM because of the errors in first post.

OK. I though to do it this way:
1. Buy USB jig.
2. Go to download mode.
3. Flash TWRP with Odin.
4. Install Android 2.3.6.
5. Flash CWM via Odin.
6. Fix cache problem somehow.
7. Install Android 4! Yay!
For the step 6, how can I fix the cache error?

NOOOO! you should install TWRP with custom recovery, NOT Odin! don't do same mistake again.
this is the proccess:
1- buy usb jig and connect it to your phone.
2- flash Stock Firmware(it must be 2.3.x) with odin! (you can download stock firmwares from samfirmware.com)
3- flash this with odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
it's most stable recovery that we have!
4-wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
5-install zip from sdcard -> choose ROM file
6-wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
7-reboot
and now you have android 4! yeah
Stock Roms have RFS partition type and our custom recovery doesn't support RFS so that mount problem appears. but you can format partitions again and convert partition to Ext4. just do step 4 .

CWM can convert to ext4? I thought that only TWRP can do that.

yes it can.it's like formating your Usb pen drive . just go to cwm5 and wipe data/reset and wipe dalvik cache and install android 4 zip file.

i heard that samsung changed bootloader so you can't reset number of flashes any more. you said your warranty expired in February! so why do you want to do that??

Thanks. I will buy one as soon as possible. For the bootloader, I am just curios. Thank you for great answers!
I solved it this way. I went to service and they somehow installed Android 2.3.6. Now I partitioned my 8 GB SD card via CWM and currently I am trying PAC-man ROM(S) from this forum. I will post what will happen.
Still no luck.
Hey guys my device is Samsung Core GT-i8262. I recently rooted my phone and installed CWM v6.0.3.6 via Odin. After that i backed up my stock rom using cwm to both internal and external sd. After finishing backup i rebooted the device and it booted directly into cwm! No matter what i did it refused to load the os. It booted into cwm every single time! I tried to fix it by doing factory reset, wiping cache, and dalvik cache. I also tried exitrecovery.zip, but it didnt work. Then i installed cutom kitcat rom (build 4) but the problem persists. Someone please help me!

I tried with odin. But odin is not detecting my phone. I installed proper drivers and used factory supplied cable.
Problem fixed!
The problem with odin was fixed. i dont how exactly but i just connected my phone with the computer which i had used to flash the cwm! I think it was either, that the computer has already detected my device one before or simply the updated drivers were properly installed. Anyway it worked and now i am using TWRP and KitCat [build 5] rom by VaibhaV. Works like a charm. Thank you!
I am passing through the very same situation, and odin don't recognize my phone to install TWRP
Hello.
Got a Duos 2 to try to revive but no luck so far.
Status:
Power on and stuck at Samsung logo
First time i managed to enter in recovery and did a wipe (data,cache) in the process got a data partition corruption error in red.
Download mode is working, tried to apply a stock firmware via Odin, no errors but still stuck on logo.
After that i can't enter in recovery mode anymore, tried a few custom recoverys applied via odin, but again no recovery mode.
Any ideas?
I only got download mode and no recovery.
affter odin. go to stock recovery wipe facrory reset
Flash the repair frimware to ur device using odin. This will definitely fix the problem.
Download link- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636002990
Note- repair frimware always comes in Arabic language but you can change the language at the setup screen.
1-install twrp and do clean flash with formating internal storage
2-flash stock you of your region with odin and remember after flashing complete and odin says pass than remove the cable do not remove when it says reset.....
3-if phone stuck's on boot screen than boot your phone into stock rom recovery and wipe cache and delvic
4-reboot it
.done!!!!!!

Hi,
I want to ask about my phone j700h i dont know if dead or what.
first my phone firmware is Marshamallow then i downloaded A5 Port rom and install and success and then i saw "Speed Fusion Remix " i think its cool so i downloaded and create backup using TWRP and install "Speed Fusion Remix " and Success and when i use the "Speed Fusion Remix " i tried gps test apps in My Room and i saw slow locking location then a few hours i tried to go back to A5 Port Rom using Restore TWRP and success boot. and i tried to GPS test in my Room but also slow and i tried outside my house and then there is a bunch of GPS satellite so i think "Speed Fusion Remix ROM" have no problems. Once Again i tried to Flash "Speed Fusion Remix ROM" and after installation my phone went BLACK it won't charge, I can't go to Recovery mode but i can go to Download Mode. So i downloaded he Official Firmware J7 then Flash Using ODIN software and Success flash, but it won't BOOT and Black Screen also. I cant Go to Recovery, Only DownloadMode is Function.
WHY? Can you Help Me?
Did you do a full wipe - data, system, cache, dalvik cache - before flashing with Odin?
Odin defaults to 'upgrade' while preserving data.
If you didn't wipe before the Odin flash you now have a 'mix' of roms on your fon.
Edit
First try to reinstall TWRP using Odin.
If that fails proceed as below.
Since you can't go into recovery to wipe anymore, retry Odin but select Re-Partition under options.
If that fails use SmartSwitch emergency recovery.
You're such a flash whore! . Like me :silly:
Good Luck!
