I didn't needed. The other method posted makes the S7500L keep rebooting into recovery. So, I flashed stock firmware (S7500LVJLH1) with Odin and start over again, but same result.
I'd flashed again stock firmware and just flash recovery with Odin, then just write Superuser from recovery.
I hadn't time to verify if the problem was with boot.tar or with files that are installed in recovery mode by .bat file.

I got my hands on a gt-s7500t yesterday and started xda searching on how to put a custom rom on it. i tried all the methods listed under s7500 to put cwm in it but none worked and whenevr i tried to enter either through pressing vol "+" "-" home and power it never enetred recovery nor it enetered through adb so i moved onto flashing cwm through s7500L guide. so by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 guide, i flased successfully flashed cwm and the phone was stuck in recovery boot loop.
I successfully rooted by through cwm and even installed a custom rom but the dammit phone never came out of the recovery loop, so i went to the next step and downloaded a stock UK vodafone firmware from sam mobile and tried flashing that since australian s-7500t stock rom is unavailable.
Now odin gave a "fail" meesage when it reached to flashing fat.bin, i tried almost 3 different stock roms but same problem. I took the battery out, and tried starting the phone the phone started but no display, so i connected it to samsung kies hoping kies will have a solution, well as it turned out that when i went into emergency firmware recovery, the device screen magically lit up for few seconds and went dark again.
i was baffled so i decided to repeat the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 and flash cwm and boot again. well this time when this completed and phone restarted the phone restarted normally and everything seemed fine, so through adb i went into recovery mode again just to see if all was working fine, but now its the same recovery loop again, have tried wiping the dalvik cache, factory reset and cache reset but nothing happening, HAVENT tried the advanced>recovery reboot> procedure, yet.
now am thinking of two options. first to try install another custom rom and see if that might hellp or since iv got another galaxy ace plus, try to extract the custom s7500T rom out of it somehow, (if u guys can tell me howto, cuz i tried titanium backuo but since it requires root and since i cant get into cwm without using s7500L technique which soft bricks i cant use titanium backup to extract the rom)
Anyone got any idea what to do? is there a pit,bootloader,csc,phone etc files that i can flash through odin rather than flashing a complete package through PDA?
or can i just flash boot.img from a stock rom using PDA and you guys think that will solve the problem>?

Android System Recovery (3e) problem

My Galaxy Ace Plus (S7500) doesn't want to boot in download mode

Thanks guys, great work
However, my Ace plus is GT - S7500W (London 2012 limited edition)
Is there anyway to root it?
Thanks so much!

Hi, Is there a easy way to unroot this method? Do all my files and settings remain intact when using this root method?
Thanks.

This method don't erase your data, just write a custom recovery and add SuperUser app and bin to your system.
The best method to unroot is installing stock firmware package.

Thanks. So does installing stock firmware not write any files to the data partition of android? What about the apps that are included in stock firmware sms app, contacts,call logs, maps etc, will those apps data be lost with installing stock firmware?
---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------
The recovery.img you have is larger than the stock firmware recovery.img. Does this write more data somewhere?

here is Android 4.1.2 for Galaxy ace plus working

I've been having the exact same problem as you with my S7500L. Boot loop error after installing custom roms. I can, however, install CWM and obtain root without problems.
I really don't understand how the s7500L rom guys developed them... how did they get out of the boot loop.
I tried replacing the boot.img from the custom ROM with one from a stock rom... nothing.

[Q] Can't install CWM or TWRP in Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

Hi Guys,
My device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 SM-T310.
I have installed CWM from the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385539.
Very thanks for CWM creator. :good:
I installed this CWM with Odin version 3.07.
After installing, Odin has shown "Complete" and "Success" message.
and then I reboot my device and go to recovery mode.
But CWM can't show and only stock recovery is shown.
Please help me and point me what is necessary things to install CWM.:crying::crying:
Thanks

Hi everyone.
I have the same problem!
I always used odin to flash all of my samsung devices; and i tryed the TWRP, the CWM touch and no-touch, but have the same issue. The stock recovery always shown!
Can someone help us please ? Thank a lot
(Sorry for my poor english - French user :cyclops: )

Same here...
I am sorry to say that there is no absoulute confirmed version of CW or CWM for the T310
I for once would wish we'd have this update come, I want ro change my boot animation.
PS Rom Manager by CWM in Playstore, wont work since CWM is not in the T310

Did you tried again?

Same issues for me too on the T310
I also just bought a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 tonight (T310). Running 4.2.2. CWM r#4 wouldn't load the SD card to allow me to load the root tarball. It also still had the display issues. Then, I loaded TRWP, which worked and allowed for root access, but pretty much nothing else.
I thought I might try CWM one more time before I leave for 10 days, but it looks like I am stuck with TWRP right now. Too bad too, since I wanted to install the unofficial CM version (but I think CM requires CWM), or at least just a stock rom. This Samsung loaded garbage they call a ROM is messy and slow, it annoys me.
Thanks to the all the developers who put so much into these projects.

[HELP]Problem with ClockWorkMod 6.0.3.2 (Touch) on HTC One SV

Hello, I'm using T-Mobile (UK) HTC One SV with JB (rooted)
I follows this link to root my phone and thus I've got the JB CWM version listed in the link.
The problem is when I boot into recovery mode into the CWM, the screen is shifted a bit to left and the cropped/shifted part is appearing on the right! (I hope I'm making some sense with this 'shifted screen' explanation. I'd like to post a screenshot if someone can help me with getting a screenshot in recoverymode) Anybody else facing this problem? If yes, how can I fix it?
On a slightly different note, I'd like to admit that whilst following the rooting procedure mentioned above, I tried to be a 'smart arse' and tried flashing CWM 6.0.3.8 on the device, which just wouldn't load /data with error
Code:
Can't mount /data
and same with cache and respective logs. And because of that I wasn't able to do a backup either. I tried, quite a few times, to format the SD card into FAT32 etc but it was having none of it! :crying:. Then when I slapped myself for not following the procedure, like a good boy , and got the same CWM listed in the link, I was able to do backup and no errors were being displayed in regards to mounting of /data. :good: I thought I'd share my experience on for others to learn from.

This screen flickering is a know problem of this touch recovery.
Its not developed to the end.
I recommend you to use TWRP recovery which is fully functional.

Thanks for quick reply. I've never used TWRP and to be honest, quite new to this depth of rooting, recovery etc. Does TWRP offer similar set of features as CWM? And is there a 'touch' TWRP for this device on JB? If so, could you kindly post me the link.

Most up to date version you will find here:
[TWRP 2.6] Updated 9/21/13 All variants TWRP recovery 2.6
Another (older):
[Recovery] TWRP Recovery 2.x
Yes, all touch and has more features than cwm.

[Q] How to ROOT Galaxy GT-N8000 with 4.4.2 Oficial rom?

I'd like to install Gnabo's rom but for it I have to install a new recovery (CWM).
This CWM replacement recovery do the root together, right?
But I'm afraid cause the KNOX will be counted, right?
So what can I do?
Thank you.

[RECOVERY][RootGuide][ALL NOTE 10.1]Official CWM Recovery Touch & Non-Touch 6.0.3.6
Instead of installing the regular CWM may I suggest installing Phillz version of CWM, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8010 (WiFi Only) PhilZ Touch Advanced CWM Recovery its CWM but tweaked. I have been trying to install a the Hyperdrive rom for days now and have had no luck over CWM or TWRP due to the AROMA freezing issue and I just tried Phillz and it flashed the Rom no problem the first time. I literally tried over 100 times today to flash it over CWM and nothing.
Hope that helps. PM me if you have any issues

I am trying to get the cwm 6.0.3.6 version for my gt-n8013 so I can flash to kit kat but the links aren't working for me. Does anyone have any other links?

Doesn't work on my Note 10.1" N-8010 with Android 4.1 . Everything seems to work fine after installing CWM (green "PASS" message) but after restarting ODIN MODE is present instead of cwm. Tried in different usb ports both usb 2.0 and 3.0 and no luck.

6.0.4.3
Hi, please can you please update CWM for N8010 to 6.0.4.3? Verry thanks
Or please, how can i install .img via odin please?
Thanks and sorry for bad english

Delete please. Post was automatically put here as I'm to new to post in the Gnabo rom thread. Makes no sense here though.....
Great work! My N8010 is new again . I do miss the haptic feedback while typing, but the benefits of the update outweigh the minor loss. Everything else seems smooth so far. Was the loss of haptic feedback an issue with the software update, or is that just the way it works in this version?
Thanks again!

I've got a boot-loop problem...
Specs:
N8013 - WiFi only
It had CW Recovery Touch 6.0.3.6 installed, I don't remember which ROM it was running, but one day it went in to a boot loop, and I cant seem to get it out of the loop. I can't even seem to get it in to recovery anymore.
When I go to download mode, I can flash a new recovery, (ive tried several methods - this one being the latest I've tried: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_n8013)
When I reboot the device holding Pwr and Vol+, I see a clockworkmod recovery message at the bottom of the screen that says no file_contexts. (not a quote, as it flashes rather quickly, then reboots)
At this point, I am rather certain that i've bricked the thing...
I've tried numerous recovery images, and each time i try and boot recovery, regardless of whether or not it was CWM, the CWM logo and version 6.0.3.6 appears at the bottom of the screen, even when that is not what I just flashed.
Anyone have any ideas?

HELP!
Please tell me there is more explanation. I've spent two days trying to find a ROM to install to upgrade past 4.1.2. I have CWM 6.0.1.1 installed and its not working with OMNI or anything else. Please help those of us who spent $600 on a tablet 2 years ago and now can't use apps because Samsung are jerks. The download links you have here are taking me to spam pages. Also, the clockwork page downloads .img files , not .tar or md5. So HELP!!!! I have GT-n8013....
