I tried to flash DlevROM INFUSE EDITION from ClockWorkMod and I get stuck in a boot loop.
I've downloaded a return to stock rom, transferred the zip to external sd but I can't seem to locate it on the "install zip from sdcard" screen.
What am I doing wrong? My phone is totally out of commission until I flash a new rom.
I've literally clicked on every folder in "install zip from sdcard" trying to figure out where the rom is.
When I click on "external_sd" it doesn't find any files. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Please help!!! My phone is totally out of commission! Thanks.
You have to wipe all of your data after flashing a new ROM. This is the most common cause of boot loops.
Also make sure you are useing the correct clock work mod version (infuse version). Useing a version made for another phone causes partition and file location mix ups.There is a 100% working one for the infuse somewhere on this fourm. I just can't find the link because I'm on mobile.

Thanks for the quick reply - however, since I'm in a boot loop, is it even possible to change the clockwork mod version?
Also, now when I go to "choose zip from sdcard" it says "no app2sd partition found." I can't click on it at all now.

It shows both as unmounted (sdcard and sd-ext) and it won't allow me to mount either. Here's the message when I try to mount sdcard.

Sorry - just woke up.
Quick question - where is the file marked "recovery"? I only see in that download Odin and the three files that use with with Odin. Did you want me to follow his instructions first with Odin and then yours? Thanks.
Are you on the correct CWM version? It seems like the partition tables inside of CWM are messed up.
Also consider the ultimate unbrick software it's a one click thing that will send you back to stock.

Yes it is you just need to go into fastboot mode (volume up + power) and flash recovery from your computer again.

ok... my bad i forgot a few steps...
follow all of gtgs unbick instructions then the rest.
here is a direct link to the recovery file... but since xda wont let me post outside links yet... :{ go to google and search "MODIFIED 3E RECOVERY INFUSE ADDICTIVE TIPS"
It should be first link.. open it.
go down to requirements and click on "Modified 3e Recovery" download and unzip that file
Voila u have the recovery file!!!!
Now follow instructions I have u after gtgs.
u will have to have a root explorer to complete "My instructions."
hey guys... all the root packages I have seen so far have a survey to download ... I cant do surveys because .. well its a long story .
in a short version .. I am looking for a direct root package download without being troubled in doing a survey .
I would be grateful if some one can help me out
Please don't duplicate posts, it's against the rules. I was already helping you in the other thread you posted in but I'll continue here. The root package you were looking at is most likely not compatible with your current firmware version. What are your bootloader details? I need to see the first five lines.

What's your ultimate goal? Do you want to root your current stock ROM or install a custom ROM? Either way you need to install TWRP recovery first. I'm assuming you already have adb/fastboot installed on your PC.
Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you have TWRP recovery on your phone.
If you want to root your current stock ROM you can just flash SuperSU through the install menu in TWRP recovery. You'll find a download link here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
If you want to install a custom ROM, just find one you like, download it, read the install instructions on the ROM thread, perform a full wipe (cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system) through the wipe menu in TWRP, then install the ROM through the install menu in TWRP.
Before doing either of these options you should make a backup of your current setup in the backup menu in TWRP. Select system, data, and boot, then swipe to backup.

oh I forgot the img thing haha
thanks a lot
though now I wanna flash the venom rom (sense 5 , 4.2) and step 3 says : "Confirm the MD5 on the download page matches the MD5 of the file on your phone (ES File Explorer will show the MD5 of the file)" what does that mean ?
If you're downloading the file directly to your phone, use an app called AFV (Android File Verifier) to check the md5. After you've downloaded the ROM just copy the md5 listed on the download site, open AFV, paste the md5 into the box, click the select file button, navigate to the file then long press it and select calculate md5, hopefully it'll say success. If it says anything other than success the download is corrupt.

I was looking for this for a long time and finally found it embedded in a thread here at XDA and thought it would be helpful to have a clean thread for installing the
1) Download latest supported recovery.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528752
Currently: http://cmw.cmfs.me/apexqtmo/apexq_recovery-10.2.img
2) Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
3) Download and install terminal emulator from the play store.
4) Run the terminal and
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Don't mess up the command or you WILL brick your phone.
5) Enjoy your Clockworkmod.
Note: I don't take any credit for this
Freaky way for flashing a recovery, just use clockworkmod recovery app from play store or use another tool (heimdall is pretty easy).
I prefer odin, then a flashable zip afterwards, I updated mine with Rom Manager before I found the right flash able. To each his own!
The reason I put this up is that the post for apexqtmo is a .img file, not a zip so i couldn't flash with existing.
I just assume that if they update CWM in the future it will also be in .img format, so for quick reference I made this how-to.
Feel free to post other methods

You can just take any flashable CWM zip and replace the .img within with the one you want to flash. Using dd on the recovery partition sounds scary to me.
Other metod.
So is there any simple metod of doing that when I have img file on SD card?
I mean other than DD.
I have some old recovery CWM 6. something.
Is possible to do it without connecting to PC?

Isn't there an easy way to convert img to zip? Thanks
PS using cwm from the play store did the trick without terminal or imag to zip etc...
yes, its not hard to create your own .zip that is flashable in recovery
you just need to write your own updater-script and then grab the update-binary for you device
doesnt take but a few minuets, but if you dont want to do this using a terminal emulator is quick and painless too
how about adb?

If you screw up that dd command, you'll likely have some pretty big issues, depending upon where the recovery gets written to.

Is a slightly updated version of CWM fully supported by TeamApexQ that works with CM 10.2, CM 11, and HypnoToad in an update.zip form, to flash from recovery.
This recovery is better (cmw based) and more up to date (also zip):

Be wary of 'more up to date' recoveries. The one we support is able to flash images of Android 4.3.x and 4.4.x If you upgrade to a 4.4 based recovery, it will error on Android 4.3 Images.

That is the updated version.
In general folks, you only need to update your recovery when a new image feature requires you to (Such as with Android 4.2's multi user/profile stuff, or Android 4.3/4.4's increased use of SELinux)

sure. just a second i creat a short guide with picture
for now you can download:
Odin v 1.85
PhilZ CWM 6.9.13
How to:
-Close every KIES process or better uninstall it.
-But make sure driver is installed properly Letest USB drivers (Only use if you have not installed a working driver)
-Extract Odin to your desktop
-Put "philz_touch_6.19.3-n7000.tar.md5" in the "Odin" folder
-Start Odin
-Connect your Galaxy Note to your computer in "DOWNLOAD" mode
and make sure that everything is set as in my picture
press "START"
If your Galaxy Note decides to scream and run away then its not my fault.
This should be safe BUT its you modify the Galaxy Note.

Hmm... When I read here: Goomanager so there is function for flash recovery. But if I don't get wrong, so this recovery files must be on www.goo.im server. Theoretically all ROMs, MODs and RECOVERY files lying on goo.im server
you can download to your device and flash it!
But for me and if I want to flash something, the best way is: Flashify
Here is it TOP 11:
1 - Flash boot and recovery .img without even needing to go to recovery.
2 - Flash zip files. Option to wipe cache, dalvik and data when using TWRP or Philz recovery.
3 - Download and flash CWM, Philz, TWRP, Gapps, Franco Kernel, Stock Nexus Kernel (premium), and Stock Nexus Recovery (premium).
4 - Automatic Loki Patch when needed.
5 - Full nandroid backups/restores when using TWRP or Philz recovery.
6 - Backup/Restore kernel and recovery using Sdcard or cloud (Dropbox, Box (premium) or Google Drive (premium)).
7 - Automatic cloud synchronisation of backups between devices and desktops.
8 - Keep track of recently flashed items.
9 - Flash multiple files and build your flash queue.
11 - Flash from anywhere! Do you want to flash from your favorite File Explorer or Email app? No biggie, that also works together with Flashify.
More at links above!
Have great Flashing :victory: Peter
I have an 8013 as well that I acquired used. it was pre-rooted, but the custom recovery on it didn't work for newer roms. I looked into installing TWRP and found that although the official TWRP instructions said you could install it from GooManager, when I tried to, it didn't find a recovery for the device.
I did successfully get TWRP installed quite easily using their alternate instructions, though. here's a quick breakdown, especially since their instructions are a bit vague.
1. download the .img file for the recovery from here: http ://teamw.in /project/ twrp2/110 (remove the spaces; I can't post outside links yet.)
2. in either terminal emultor or through adb shell, run the command shown below, replacing the bracketed sections with the path and filename of the .img file:
dd if=/<File path>/<filename>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
For example, say you save it in your downloads folder on the internal sd card. The path is probably something along the lines of /storage/sdcard0/Download/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-gt-n8013.img
If you get the path or filename wrong when you runthis command, it will just tell you that it could not find the file you told it to write. if you get the second part wrong, however, you could brick your device, so make sure you double and triple check that part.
Another good check to do before running the command is to ensure that your download is not corrupt by checking the md5 checksum. To do this, make sure you copy that when you download the file and then check using a file browser that supports it. I use Explorer (by Speed Software) to check the md5. To see it, long press the file and click properties. If the one given when you downloaded it and and the one you get from the file do not match, your download likely got corrupted and you should try again until they do match. It's rare, but you don't want to flash a corrupted recovery, so do check it.
The command itself can either be run from an app like terminal emulator or over adb (android debug bridge) from your computer using the command:
adb shell <command>
I followed this basic procedure and now have a fully functioning TWRP recovery on my 8013. Best of luck to you in getting yours working. :good:
