http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151704
and i tried flashing with 1st link thought it was DDKP2 but i didnt noted DDKB2
mine is DDKP2...but iam unable to boot please help..iam a beginner..
please tell how to boot in clockwork recovery mod
Thanks in advance

If u want to try lots of cool mods then simply flash xxkpq rom. Then flash Utter Chaos kernel. It will root ur kernel. Also it will provide ur clockworkmod, overclock facilities.
Then next most imp step is u must deodex ur phone & finally flash 10 lockscreen mod especially using xxkpq files only.

Do One thing..Flash the Universal CF-Root...It is immaterial of the Firmware!
After that download the de-odex zip...And flash it via CWM.
Then Flash ANY theme/mod you want!

[Q] what happened?

DEVICE : SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT GT S5670
CURRENT ROM : GB 2.3.6 STOCK
I rooted my device a long time ago..but flashed the recovery few days ago only.
So here's what happened?
i flashed "AMON-RA RECOVERY"..then found it to be old.
then tried to flash the "TJ-STYLE RECOVERY" ...BUT SOMEHOW IT DIDN'T WORKED and ODIN was taking very much time.
so aborted and then flashed "PRATYUSH.CREED 'S RECOVERY"... as mentioned in the guide in the forum that this could backup the STOCK ROM.
THEN as mentioned in the guide i took a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom ...(didn't knew the backup was successful or not)..
after creating the backup i tried to flash OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 NIGHTLY.ZIP but the process ended very quickly notifying of successfull flashing...
instead when i rebooted after showing the sumsung animation the Device got hungup at a black screen with android written on it at a little right.
then i tried to restore the NANDROID BACKUP...but the recovery showed MD5 ERROR..
I thought may be a unlocked BOOTLOADER is required ..i googled it but couldn't find the procedure...
i then downloaded and flashed a STOCK_GB_2.3.6.tar.md5 rom..
this worked BUT REPLACED THE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY WITH STOCK RECOVERY
.
.
.
NOW THE QUESTIONS :​
1.why wasn't the NANDROID BACKUP successful ?​
2.why didn't the OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 worked ?​
3.how can i unlock the BOOT LOADER if it is required for the CUSTOM ROMS ?​
4.why the CUSTOM CLOCKWORK MOD got replaced by the STOCK RECOVERY on reflashing with stock rom ?​
help me ...

i m a complete noob, but i will try to help u as much as possible ...
i think,there was a prob with flashing of custom recovery,
i m also on custom recovery (dunno which one) i flashed it as flashable zip frm recovery {i think i installed tj style fr odin then flashed the present recovery }
Also, wen u flash stock rom, u need to root it again ..
nondroid problem? mayb due to recovery problem ..
bootloader thing? sorry i dont knw anything bootloader thing ...
If i were u, i will first install tj style recovery from odin(it roots ur phone too, so no need to root it first) then either use it(its said to b most stable recovery around) or flash another recovery as flashable zip frm the present recovery ...
(i will avoid using odin fr each nd every thing ...)
Hope this helps ^^

HOW WOULD I DO THAT..?
means the tj-style recovery i have is in TAR format...
should i UNcompress and recompress it in ZIP format... ?
AND WHAT POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES COULD BE FOR THE ODIN ?

1) Nandroid Backup works only for custom roms. For stock roms u can only take a backup but u cant restore (there's a recovery by pratyush.creed which does restore too but i didn't try so can't say)
2)Perhaps u didn't flash properly so it went into bootloop. Use CWM by TJ-style only and next time, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and format /system just as a precautionary step before flashing custom rom.
3)Samsung Phones doesn't have locked bootloaders. So to flash a rom, u can do it easily
4) The stock rom u flash via ODIN contains stock recovery as well.
U cant flash recovery unless u have other custom recovery (well there is a flashable zip for CWM by tjstyle but i dont know whether it can be flashed via stock recovery). The only way u can do is through ODIN. Make sure ODIN is set properly and if u have windows 7, run it as administrator and better reinstall drivers.

Galaxy Fit recovery problem, please help!!!!!!!

hello i am new to xda and just created a thread for help about my problem. I flashed razodroid v4 one day and thought of flashing jb 4.2.2 touchwiz rom. I flashed it and it worked fine for some days, then i thought of flashing sd-ext patch and it also worked fine with my ext4 sd card.
one day when i was tired of my slow phone, i installed the badass kernel and it installed succesfully and worked for some hours.....
after that the phone turned off suddenly and never went on always went to the text Galaxy Fit GT-S5670 and then nothing..
then i flashed the froyo official stock rom from odin it worked fine but there the recovery was showing the following problem and i was not able to flash any rom from recovery from that day.....
plzzz help me from this problem i want to upgrade to android 4.3 i am now having the gingerbread stock dxkt7 that i flashed from odin.

Reflash latest 2.3.6 [Gingerbread] firmware using odin --> Wipe everything --> Flash CWM --> Flash your desired ROM following all instructions perfectly..It should solve all problems..
Btw why you had flashed froyo firmware..?

The certain errors u r seeing in cwm recovery will disappear when u flash ny custom rom. They r only visible under samsung official stock rom.
Edit: & do format /system b4 flashing custom rom for the 1st time over stock otherwise u will get hanged at the android-text/boot-up screen forever...remember that..!!

no luck yet!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Bro!! Now I saw ur SS carefully (by zooming). Don't use this recovery by dany... Always use cwm recovery by tjstyles v5.0.2.7.
Now it should definitely work coz I have it already...:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!!

not working.....
thanks for the reply but i did flashed it with cwm 5 by tj styles before.......
and it is not rebooting.
only able to flash through odin....

u mea to say flashin different version of CWM also fails???
u tried flashing twrp?
personal experience i am on 6.0.4 everything is ok..
in Odin flash the cwm ...

i have flashed it with cwm 5.5 and no bugs other than listed in the thread of speedmod..!!

yeah i tried to flash another version of CWM but it didn't work ... Does it make sense i couldn't flash roms or CWM versions because i flash the CWM 6.0.3.5 using terminal emulator ? :\
and I didn't try to flash twrp but if i want to .. how could i overwrite cwm and replace with twrp ?
and if i tried to flash speedmod using odin it's gonna work right ?
but i prefer to stay away from odin because it's dangerous a little for me as a beginner

now i'm trying to install jelly plus rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649307
it was the same result it didn't work too
there is a guy said that some mobiles can not install roms directly from CWM .. he said that i should install it using odin .. is that true ?
please i need help guys

just flash correct recovery through odin,any cwm version will work,listed in forums for our device,then just wipe data,cache,dalvik and flash the rom,i have done it about 10-20 times now,nothing has ever gone wrong..!!!
just follow the correct steps..!!

can u please help me?? no os!!

If you are able to get into recovery, you should be able to access the download folder and flash once again any of the custom ROM saved in the download folder. If not, download any custom ROM and use OTG to flash it.
