hello guys.
I have to downgrade from the OMEGA 16.1 JB to the V13 ICS,
does anyone know how to do this? I tried to flash the 13 above the 16.1, but the phone hangs at the loading screen.
You have to go into recovery and do a wipe/factory reset before flashing a different ROM over another ROM

Hey, so every time i install a different rom i do this. But, whenever i try to go to a rom that has ics features on it it just stays in a boot loop. Its really annoying. Right now i am running liquid JB rom. Also, i have tried flashing stock rom but heimdall always says that when i put in the .tar.md5 file that their is no firmware.xml file. Also, since i run ubuntu 12.10, i read the odin does not work properly on ubuntu and i have somewhat tried a virtualbox but have yet to install odin and the stock rom on there. If anyone can help, i know that this is a response to a downgrading thing but its still revelant. So, can anyone help?
-- Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 ATT --
Background: I am still on ICS 4.0.4 rooted and unlocked (atleast ez unlock says im unlocked and i have superuser and voodoo says im still rooted) .
However, when I try to flash a custom recovery , ROM manager gets stuck at 100 % and closes. I have also tried installing a custom recovery via EZ recovery, and it says its flashed. However, when I boot into recovery mode, all i see is the stock recovery. So I am not sure what is going on. Do you guys have any idea?
If your still on ICS try selecting an older recovery? Some newer versions are not meant for ICS anymore I believe ...

I recall a similar issue I had due to the bootchain...not sure if that would apply here or not though
I was reading somewhere that samsung devices auto -overwrite a flashed recovery and change it back to stock. I am not sure how to combat this issue , or whether this affects anyone else?
You could try flashing a recovery through odin, that might give a different result. I think when you boot straight into recovery mode from download mode after flashing it might ask you to disable the phone from auto restoring the stock recovery.
I could be wrong though, it seems that's a common thing that happens when rooting a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 base. However, flashing only the recovery file should still work for an ics base too. Just make sure it's a tar file, not an img file for the custom recovery for use in odin.

Hi – I have a stubborn issue with my Blaze 4G not working on CM roms, I would appreciate any help you guys can provide. Below are the details:
I recently bought a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and did the following:
- Rooted it using the following guide (it now has ICS)
- SIM Unlocked it using the following guide (now it works on other networks)
- Updated to CWM 6.0.3.8, since JB roms needs it
- Flashed the T769-UVLH5 modem, since CM support it
And now when I flash CM 10 stable or 10.2 nightly it gets stuck in booting and displaying the CM logo animation screen, after few minutes it reboots and does it all over again.
I remember when I upgraded to CM JB on my SGS3 I needed to flash a JB stock rom on it to get the new boot loaders for JB, but I saw no mention of this on this forum. What else am I missing?
Thanks.

You wiped data/cache/system? Reinstall it. Anyways use the new 6.0.4.4 recovery.

Thanks Somcom. I have to admit that I forgot to do the wipes. but even after doing the wipes (data/system/ factory rest/ cach/devalk) and reinstalling the CM nightly, I still have the same issue.
as for recovery, I updated to the latest version using the rom manager, and according to the official site clockworkmod[dot]com[slash]rommanager (can't post links) I have the latest version for Blaze. how do you get the 6.0.4.4 on blaze?
I still feel it's a ICS vs JB bootloaders issue, but not sure how to proceed next.
Thanks!

No boot loaders man. This is before Samsung's complications.

Thanks Somcom3X, but still didn't work. When installing the CM room in recovery 6.0.4.4 I get a bunch of getprop assert failures. This used to work on the previous version (6.0.3.8). Now the Rom won't install.
Also, I'm curious what did you mean by this is before Samsung's complications?

After 2011 samsung began installing software and counters to try and prevent people from rooting and installing custom firmwares.
knox is an example of this.
These devices don't have any of that complicated security.
You handy with odin? Your recovery is not right. Just to be clear, what is your model number?
If it is T 7 6 9, your good to go to odin. I'd recommend going back to stock, and then install a recovery and you should be good to go.

Thanks again, I use the guide here to convert the image into a tar.md5 to flash using odin, but after flashing successfully I still have the same issue when installing the CM zip file in recovery, and yes it is the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G T769.
any other possible causes?
BTW - when I was flashing via Odin my upload phone screen was showing that I have a custom rom and the counter was 1.... do I need to fix that?

SOLUTION:
The reason your stock recovery system keeps getting overwritten at Android startup is because of a script that is being run.* All you need to do is either rename this script or simply delete it.
Please keep in mind that if you restore your stock ROM, this script will be restored with it so you will have to rename or delete it again.* Do the following:*
1.
Make sure your device is powered on and running normally,
2.
Make sure you have rooted your device and that you have all of the necessary permissions in order to manipulate system files.*
3.
In the root file system go to \system\etc
4.
Find the file named install-recovery.sh and either rename it or, as I did, delete it.*
That’s all there is to it.*
Please keep in mind that you will need to flash your custom system recovery one more time after modifying the script file.* After that, reboot away and you will always be able to get back into your new system recovery.
Good Luck and Happy Tweaking.

Thanks Somcom3X - but I'm not sure this is needed for my case. I read the original blog post and my recovery does not get overwritten. I actually rebooted multiple times into CWM recovery and each time it is the same 6.0.4.4.
I also went into the /system/etc folder and there is no install_recovery.sh file.
to clarify, here is where I'm stuck now:
- when I use CWM 6.0.3.8 CM install completes successfully, but then CM will not boot, and will keep on cycling on the boot logo screen.
- when I use CWM 6.0.4.4 I can't start to install CM as it complained that my phone is not t769.
in all cases I'm using CM 10.2 nightly for T769.
Thanks for the help.
You should delete assert lines at the top of the zip's updater-script and it will let you flash it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using Tapatalk
I removed the assert lines from the updater script, and it was able to complete the install process afterwards, however when I booted the new CM 10.0 system it got stuck on the cyanogenmod boot logo. I made sure I do a system/data rest, cleared cash, and cleared devalk.
I do not think it's an issue with my recovery as I'm getting the same result as I did with the official 6.0.3.8.
Something else is going on.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks Somcom3X - but this is more trouble than what I wanted to put in - I'll stick with the rooted stock ROM I have. I was hoping the process was a little more straight forward, similar to my SGS3.
thanks for all your help thus far!

Ok, my rooted ICS stock is acting up (random shutdowns and such), so I need to give this another try and get this phone to CM.
I tared back to stock GB, skipped the upgrade to ICS (was not able to upgrade via the ROM software update option), flashed CWMR (5.0.4.x) via Odin, upgraded to CWMR 6.0.4.5, installed CM 11 nightly, and then wiped data/factory rest and Dalvik .... and ....
it is still stuck on the boot screen....
I seriously would appreciate a silver bullet right now!

Hmm. Go back to stock ics, flash a 10.2 recovery, then flash whatever you desire.

It would be cwm 6.0.2.7
You can flash the img through a zip or by terminal on the phone.
Odin needs a tar'd recovery img
Sorry been very busy.
Have you tried this?

Thanks Somcom3X - I looked all over this forum and the internet, and could not find a link for a 6.0.2.7 CWM for Blaze - I found it for other phones but not Blaze. can you please point me to a link if you happen to know of one. the official site does not have an archived list of previous versions.
as for the provided link, I did follow it through, and downloaded the recovery Tar (it was CWM 5.5.04) but that yielded the same results after installing CM 10 and 10.2 - stuck at boot screen logo. I'm reasonably confident now that it is not a recovery issue, as I flashed half a dozen different versions and none worked with CM 10, 10.2, or 11.... it has to be something else!
Thanks.

So I'm running CWM 6.0.4.5 and was playing with 4.4 Roms but every time I try to flash a 4.3 or 4.2 I get am error (I think it was status 7) I thought CWM could flash any Android version. Or does CWM have the same issue TWRP has?

Is that the custom CWM or the regular one? I can't imagine why the regular one won't, but I don't really keep up with CWM.

And I can't restore my factory back up, it just boots to the Asus logo and sticks. But I can reinstall 4.4 roms and they work fine and I can restore them as backups.

Yea, I found it last night messing with my recovery. I haven't been able to succsesfully downgrade. I tried the old CWM and TWRP 2.5.0.0 but haven't been able to mount any storage again... but I reflashed that recovery and can mount things. I'm just going to stick with the CM 11 nightlys they seam stable enough.

Is it possible to run one of the 4.3 or 4.4 custom Roms on CWM without locking the boot loader?
Also, is there an easy way for me to update CWM to TWRP 2.0 without using Odin?

To flash a 4.4 base rom u would have to be in the latest recovery. I use goo manager to update my twrp recovery or u can download from there site. If u take the 4.3ota u will lock ur bootloader. Theres a rooted 4.3 that wont lock ur bootloader

Updated with EZ-Recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.1
Now to Nab a 4.4 ROM - Backing up my phone now -
Will be making a Nandroid backup soon as I get finished copying the SD card contents.
I just got a Note 3 so I will be selling this S3. I wanted to make sure I had a clean rom and rooted for whom ever ends up getting it.
Keeping the unlocked bootloader so they can enjoy custom roms is pretty awesome.
I was just thinking of sticking it on Ebay. Is there a better site to sell it on?
