[Q] Trouble after ClockworkModRecovery restore - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hi
I have a Samsung Skyrocket, which had ATT jellybean installed on it (upgraded from ICS via kies).
1.Had trouble with the phone (missing apps/ apps not installed error etc)
2. Went to ATT to have it reflashed , ATT store reflashed it to ICS
3. Flashed CWM Recovery and SuperSU, both successful
4. Took a nandroid backup via CWM
5.Upgraded to JB via kies.
6.Took a nandroid backup via CWM
7.Phone was working fine
8. I went into recovery and formatted /cache , /data , / System (don't ask me why it was a random though)
9. Phone did not have a OS, so just got the samsung Log.
10. Went into CWM recovery and restored back to JB backup I had
11. Phone just rebooted frequently, (samsung logo. samsung log, ATT log, Reboot sequence)
12. Then I went ahead and restored the ICS bacup I had (from Step 4)
13. Phone now works, but
a) Does not Reboot ( I have to pull the battery)
b) I tried to upgrade the phone to JB via kies now, I get an error "Your device's current firmware is not supported to update firmware via kies"
The Firmware version which kies is showing "PDA:LI3 / PHONE MC1 / CSC:LI3 (ATT)" which is not what I had initially before restore.
c) When I hit "Firmware upgrade and initialization" in kies, now it says "SGH-I727" does not support initialization.
Sorry for the long post.
What went wrong here ?
After 13, I wiped system, cache, data and restored ICS again but same issue.
Why is restore not restoring to what it was (or is this how it works ?)
Thanks a lot

Try to odin stock ics. Re-booting with out an os is not a good thing and you may have messed up big time.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

You have to open KIES without your phone plugged in and hit tools---->firmware upgrade and initialization. Once you open that type SGH-I727(all caps) for your model, then type in your serial number which you will find on the phone behind your battery. Then just go through the whole process and you should have a fully stock and working phone. Then just re-root and do whatever you want with it. And just try not to screw it up again lol

Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
I flashed the firmware thru Kies again (using triplexkush method) and it worked

Soft brick, recovery refuses to wipe data

So, friend of mine tried to update his Telenor Serbia tab from HC to ICS via kies, it offered upade, he tried, and finished being stucked with samsung galaxy tab 7.7 logo.
Tab can enter both to download mode or recovery.
He gave to me and what I did so far is this:
- First, downloaded LQG and installed via odin, but tab is still stucked.
- I installed CWM 6.0.2.3 and tried to wipe data, but it refuses to wipe, it kind of starts, but reset immediately.
- Downloading LA4 (HC) rom to instal via odin and try to wipe from custom recovery, same result, actualy, it refuses to enter factory recovery, it says "updating aplication".
- Installed Touch recovery TWRP 2.4.0.0. but it wont even enter it.
- Now I am trying with some LQG_BLG ICS rom, and ig it fails, I'll try with Open Austria rom.
Any other ideas? Do I have to repartition data or it still can be restored?
UPDATE: I have managed to restore it via double flashing LQC_BLG rom that bassem.mohsen here. One time was not enough, but twice with not allowing it to boot, before the second time.
I have installed CWM after so I don't have issues with mmc, and that's it.

thanks for the up-date.. This sounds like a breakthru that alot of people (like me) could use...
Most that are stuck at boot loop...
ONE thing though....
you said in part.... " twice with not allowing it to boot, before the second time. "
Now can you elaborate on your 'timing' on when to push the start button again on Odin on the second flash..
Ive read this once before....
BUT... I think we need a specific instruction on the exact timing.. on WHEN to flash the second time.... what should be showing on our screens when we hit Odins start button for the second flash.....
Please instruct us on exactly when to flash the second time.... thanks alot....

Half-brick or hardware error?

Hi all,
Recently I upgrade my HTC Legend to CM10 and swapped it for my wife's alternate phone LG P500 as it has some "need force" buttons.
It was already rooted, so I thought of trying my hand at upgrading the P500's ROM as well and see if I could keep it as a backup of sorts.
So below is the chronological sequence of events:
1. Installed CWM via Playstore and placed CM10.2 + CWM6 on SD card.
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Installed CWM6
4. Reboot to recovery
5. Wipe system, install CM10.2 zip
6. Seems to run fine for a while, though some apps kept force-closing
7. While configuring, the phone suddenly rebooted and got stuck at the LG screen
8. Couldn't even load recovery after that, could only go into emergency mode
9. Tried many ways of reflashing CWM/baseband/ROM via LGMDP and KDZ but it wouldn't work
10. During on the many runs, I downgraded baseband to 10E, and then used LG's official tool to perform an upgrade recovery (which also hung during one of the reboots of the phone - still LG screen), then tried to flash an extracted DZ using LGMDP/KDZ, and then back to LG's tool to perform a software upgrade
11. Viola! Android now boots, but now my SIM card refuses to work. Tried switching between different basebands V10E and V20G, but it remains stuck in airplane mode.
12. Today I realised that the Baseband Version as shown in the hidden menu always remains AMSS6150 regardless of whether I flashed V10E or V20G.
Can anyone give me some clues?
After some days of trying again and again, this is how I solved it.
1. Downgraded to official v10e firmware via the official LG tool
2. Reboot into recovery, and used LGMDP to flash this NV2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22671293&postcount=52)
3. Reboot into recovery, and used official LG tool to perform Upgrade Recovery (provided model LG-P500 and my S/N)
4. After upgrade complete, reboot, placed SIM card, checked the IMEI and it's the correct/matching IMEI of my phone, and GSM/WCDMA now works!
Only thing I'm not too sure as I didn't note it down is: are the WIFI and BT addresses overwritten by the NV2 provided in step 2, or did the LG official recovery set the WIFI and BT address back to what it was supposed to be?

[Q] Randomly Stopped Booting, extensive Google-fu and ODIN use ineffective

Okay this is a weird one, Note 10.1 runs out of battery a few nights ago, go to plug it in for charging and it hangs on the "samsung galaxy note 10.1 screen". I had been running Cyanogen 11 for a few months just fine and before that Omni (Both 4.4.2) no dramas with CWM recovery 6.0.3.6. I can still get to Download/ODIN mode and CWM.
Now here is the fun part(s)
1. Firstly I tried reflashing the roms from CWM, after all I flashed both of them from the same recovery and they were still on the external sdcard. Both gave set metadata recursive status 7 error messages.
1.NB Whenever I selected the internal storage to search for a zip CWM would close immediately (crash?) and go back to the galaxy note 10.1 screen and hang there still. Also does this on other options, so I can't reach the backup I made on the internal storage
2. After googling that it seems that 6.0.3.6 can't flash 4.4.2 roms so I flash a later version using ODIN, it says success on the PC side, yet nothing changes in tablet, same when trying with twrp. CWM 6.0.3.6 won't budge
3. Try flashing the official rom (N8010XXUCMK2_N8010XSACNA2_HOME) from sammobile using ODIN, same problems as before, download mode shows the bar filling up so does ODIN, says it passed, still nothing.
4. Try old 10.2 Cyanogen build, no error message but still hangs on samsung galaxy note screen
5. Try repartitioning whilst flashing, various .pit also used, no dice. However I can now mount /data from cwm still can't mount /efs
6. Read about eMMC bug possibly being induced by Cyanogenmod, open up tablet to to check numbers on eMMC module, doesn't match any of the affected numbers.
7. Try above steps multiple times, including flashing each right after each other.
8. Cry
9. Look at new tablet options (Damn no good ones with softkeys)
10. Back to desperate flashing ODINing and scrolling through CWM
So any ideas?
Don't you have any other backup, from a sammy rom, that should restore your efs,
Two days ago happened to me the same thing.
What I've done was
1. Flash the Pit file from the leaked 4.4.2
2. Restore a backup from a 4.1.2 Sammy rom
3. Full wipe in recovery. Efs error was gone
4. Restore the backup again and boot up.
5. Update the recovery
6. Wipe again
7. Flashed the Gnabo Rom V5
Now everything it's working pretty damn good.
Hope you can solve the issue.

Where exactly is the PIT file I should be looking for? Been looking for a while now.

[Completed] Note 4 recovery capped

I am having some serious troubles with upgrading my Galaxy Note 4 SM-910P (Sprint). All was well in rooting, un-rooting, etc... I have the original 4.4.4 and the new 5.0 backed up and now I can't use anything other than the firmware the original firmware package through Odin. The problem started when I installed the [ROM]ViSiON-X N4 SPR 5.0.1 [Android L 5.0][N910PVPU1BOB7-R1][03-11-15]. It installed fine but when ever I was not watching it a problem occurred such as getting locked out of ny ext SD, or just plain un-rooting itself. It finally came down to it just kicked my device into download mode and would not reboot. I did used chains Odin root method and installed TWRP, which I can still do but can not flash or restore from TWRP or CWM recovery. It will take the firmware package fine and download the 5.0 update but always gets stopped from any other upgrade at recovery be it stock or custom. I have even used Kies to try and upgrade a few time. It will upgrade from NK1 to NK2 but still will not upgrade anything else past recovery. Every time I reboot I lose my WIFI password. After every boot it takes a minute for any network to be able to reach the device. It is paused until I re enter my WiFi password then it will say that Android is done upgrading and there is a toast message that says "device is set to factory mode some items won't work on this mode set device to user mode". Can someone please tell me how to set my device to user mode or erase what ever is lockled in my device between download and recovery. The issue I described with the device wanting to stay in download mode and how to handle it is described her http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59372208&postcount=3 but as I mentioned I can't get passed anything that is not firmware through Odin. If I had to be locked in one version forever I would have preferred it be 5.0
I figured it out

I fianlly figured out the deal with TWRP not flashing.
The change between file systems is what TWRP won't flash.
To flash into the new, the old, or back up property check the file type.
Ext 2, Ext 4, F2FS, etc ...
To get recovery to load install from odin with auto boot disabled, remove battery, than vol + - menu and power.
the steps below..
1. Power off (complete) boot to download.
2. Load Odin, uncheck auto reboot, PDA TWRP. after it installs pull battery to exit.
3. Boot to recovery - wipe- advanced wipe -Repairor Change File System - Check System (go thruough each)
4. Repair and change each to the file type you want to flash
5. repair and or change the files for the zip you are going to flash
6. you have done all the rest before ....
Issue resolved, thread closed, thanks.

Can't get into CWM or anything else!

Hi guys,
Yesterday I was about to install a new rom (cm-11.0.0-GT-S5670-beni) on my Galaxy FIT , so I did a factor reset , then installed CWM 5 and then upgraded it to CWM 6.
after this I chose Install from sdcard and i chose zip file of ROM from SDCard. all fine up to here, but after installation is complete, the phone could not boot correctly, it booted to CWM again and again i powerd it off,reboot,factory reset, ... but was unable to get rid of CWM. finally i decided to format /System,So i did and the problem occurred here; now i can't boot to anything! even CWM or stock recovery or etc.
I used Odin to install CWM5 / CWM4 again and again (successfully done) but nothing changed.
fortunately I can get into download mode and Odin detects my phone but not Kies.
is there anyway to get my phone back to life?!
Thx...
