Really new to this, I just got my tablet about a week ago. I've rooted, though when I tried to install CWM it went into a bootloop. I let it charge over night and when I woke up it was back to normal (yay). This morning I decided to have another go at CWM so I tried a factory reset however it went back into a bootloop. I tried searching for how to flash a stock rom but no avail as to a clear step by step process, however I've found the stock rom though its just an update.zip, I dont really know how to use it with odin. Could somone explain to me where to go from here?
give this a try...
Can you at least boot into download mode?
If you can then you will be able to flash the Samsung official firmware using Odin. Here is a link to help you out.

That will show you how to install the official jelly bean update.
After you hopefully get jelly bean installed you can root the tablet using the CF-Autoroot exploit. Here is a link to help you out with that

Okay...now if that does not work look into flashing CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly this will update you to android 4.2 the newest jelly bean update and you get to keep your tablet rooted. You can find out how to do that here on this forum or by a simple Google search. I use it and its great!
Hope it helps...

Hi There!
A few months ago I've installed clockworkmod 3.2.0.0, in a failed attempt to upgrade my MZ604 UK Xoom to ICS from 3.2.
I forgot about this device for a while. Today I received the OTA update for ICS. But after downloading, and when it rebooted, it entered into the recovery of clockworkmod.
I really don't know what to do. I tried to just reboot and think that it would bypass, but after starting it shuts down into recovery. Tried to shutdown, same problem
I now have a device that only reboots
Could someone help me how to apply the google official update?

I'm on stock firmware and update my t-mobile note 2 to the new 4.3 android. Then I root my phone and I try to install TWRP with goomanager and it says I may need to reboot. I reboot and do the button combo I usually do to get into TWRP recovery but it doesn't work. It just takes me to that regular android one. I want to get TWRP on it so i can install the new Jedi MasterX rom that has 4.3 on it. can anyone help me get that to work or do I need to do something different to get TWRP to run on the new 4.3 update? Also, if there is a better place to ask this please let me know. Thanks!
Brand new to this tablet. So I had the stock 4.2.1 software and I wanted to try out the CM11 4.4 rom. I flashed that but recieved a fail on TWRP. I was hoping that flashing CWM would fix it but no dice. I want to go back to stock but I have no access to fastboot and it bootloops into CWM. any help with this?
Ok I have managed to recover the tablet to boot using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44244313#post44244313 :laugh: Now, how do I install 4.4? Whenever I tried to install it using TWRP 2.6, it always fails on me.
Hi! Well unfortunately a newbie here... Because I can't wait for Android 4.4 for my Galaxy Note (Curse you Samsung!!) and I want to try flashing custom ROMs on my Tablet. So I tired this ROM: http://bit.ly/1aTqOee and I used Recovery Tools - Flasher to download and install a custom recovery: http://bit.ly/1afRfKt and with CF Auto Root. Now the thing is I forgot to make a backup and after a few months I'll be going back to Stock Samsung ROM. Can someone please show me a detailed step by step on how do I get back to:
1. Stock Android Recovery
2. Unroot my Tablet
3. Go back to Stock ROM.
I heard that I can just download the appropriate ROM for my tablet on SamMobile Firmwares?
Thank you so much in advanced!
Hi,
I wonder if anyone could offer me a little assistance please ? I have a UK Tesco Moto G 16GB (2013) that I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted and CWM recovery installed. Currently, it's running 4.4.4 Kitkat. I gave up with the OTA update as I was getting the 'preflash validation failed' message. More recently, I have tried following the guide on here to flash the XT1032_GPE_5.1_Optimized_v1.1.zip file using CWM. However, this resulted in what I believe is termed a bootloop - i.e. the coloured dots animation just never stopped - I waited half an hour and it was still going.
I've managed to restore it back to my previous 4.4.4 for the moment, but I would like to move to Lollipop at some point - if I could !
Could someone suggest a method I could try please ?
Many thanks !
Kev.
Hi there.
Well, my device is a XT1032 Retail US but I may have been through the problems you're facing right now.
Here we go:
Go full stock (don't know if you revocer from a backup or already did this but in any case you'd know what to do: This guide helped me a lot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219.
Do not install any official update using a custom recovery
Make sure you got the actual latest recovery version. If you went stock from the latest firmware you should have already got it.
If you have your OTA, Install it manually from the stock recovery
This method should work. It is the one I followed.
I got two errors: 1st was because was using custom recovery.
2nd was because my rom was stock but had deleted system apps, so the install failed always at some point.
Once I flashed the latest stock firmware including the stock recovery, I was able to install my OTA update.
Let me know if this works.
