I did it, i download the original Stock ROM, and flash using Odin, but when the phone starts, there is the old rom still installed, is like the phone doesn't get the new ROM, even when no errors appear in the flash process

Ok i finally figured out i recently boot looped my phone was trippin out because i couldnt get my phone to boot up it was stuck in boot loop and it kept saying invalid arguement.i didnt want to send my phone through warranty in fear that they would deny it out of desperation i tried again to down load the firmware and this is what i did after days of disspair. What you need to do is this…….1) put your phone in download mode this works with phones that are not hard bricked only those in boot loop ……2) erase all files you previously downloaded,even delete them from your recycle bin so there are no confusions with any files downloaded from your pc……3) download from androidadvices.com the 2.3.3 firmware upgrade and all of its files . Send files to your desktop then enter androidadvices.com when you open the file so that you may extract files, then upload all files as they show you on the 2.3.3 firmware instructions…..4)..... ( pay close attn to this step).....!!!after you load the firmware odin should fail in resetting your phone but what this does is enter the file necessary to reboot your phone accordingly,this gets rid of your boot loop !!!…..5) now enter a desired firmware from android advices.com i used the stable 2.3.4 firmware download to put into my phone installed it and got my phone to reset appropriately and now i have my phone back this should also work for you all boot loop stuck galaxy s 4 g phones by t mobile . i hope this works for all of you with the problem.i was scared worried and concerned but hey curiosity killed the cat, and can also put a cheshire smile on its face good luck
there is no need for Odin any longer once you have drhonks GB kernel because recovery is built in so bootlooped or soft bricked you can just go into cwm and reflash from there

Unless ofcourse, you flash a bad kernel.

I've been wondering about that because I have never seen an "update.zip" on my sdcard. What is the update.zip that it expects?
I actually hit that option by mistake trying to flash a rom, but of course it said file not found.
YOU DO NOT FLASH UPDATE.ZIP.

yes im sure about this, if you have drhonks GB kernel there is no need for ODIN unless you hard brick or go back to froyo and EVEN then you probably dont need ODIN
ever since drhonks gb kernel i havent touched ODIN since
just sayin...

I have done that and I am actually running my phone with the stock rom just fine. I encounter a problem when I try to flash a custom rom or superuser.

You need to keep trying to flash the super user zip. It may take 4 tries or so.
---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------
And if your rooted and have cwm. Wipe data/cache 3 times then flash the rom. If you get boot loop after that. Wipe data/cache again. If still no good use odin to flash the stock recovery. Tar. Boot into that the wipe data and cache and reboot
Thanks for info, let's see if I can get this to work

make sure if you watch the vid to pay attention to the fact that he is flashing a CUSTOM rom on that vid and not the superuser.zip so if your doing the superuser.zip DO NOT wipe data/cache just
-backup
-install zip from sd card
-reboot
I copied the video to a T and got the bootloop. so remember DO NOT wipe ANYTHING for the superuser.zip
So you weren't trying to flash a custom ROM?
I'm having this same issue with the cycling boot screen. I will get past the Samsung logo and into the custom ROM logo and then it will freeze and restart. I have used ODIN to revert LOTS of times now. I don't have a problem running the stock, but I have the problem whenever I try to flash a custom ROM.
I'm looking to go custom to get rid of all the bloat and I want to change the icons at the bottom of the home screen.
Hi,
Please help me.
I tried to install CWM in my galaxy ace using "Odin".
I followed correct steps and odin showed "pass" at last.
but now my phone is not booting.
It will load upto "GALAXY Ace GT-S5830....." scree and nothing is happening after that.
I am not able to boot into recovery also now.
How I can recover my phone back?
Please help me.
Flash everything back to stock with Odin. You should make sure repartition is checked before flashing. When you try to flash cwm through Odin, redownload the files and try again.

Thanks for replying, but sorry to ask you one more doubt (may be too n00b qn.)
what do you mean by "flash everything"?
where I can get all those files for Ace?
Sorry took soo long to reply, was at work. Can you post a link to the method you used to flash cwm? Just want to make sure I point you to the correct firmware.
I have used the method at
acetips.wordpress.com/2011/10/01/install-cwm-ace-froyo
As it didn't worked, I used some other "ops" file, which brick my phone.
Can I use any samsung upgrade method ( as I have done earlier in my sonyericsson w8 using SEUS) ?
Or how can I fully flash and make it alive?
Try this...!
Hey no phone dies so easily, so, follow the process mentioned in the given link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
You know how to use odin get you ops file and further download the stock rom on

thanks friends.
But now I am not able to get into the recovery mode. will it get fixed after flashing the latest firmware?
What is the really working method to get CWM recovery for ACE?
It should work again if u flashed the stock because the stock recovery is included in the stock rom =)
please help me.
my phone is still not turning on, even after flashing stock firmware using odin.
How can i get it back?
my ace is now alive
Thank god!!! at last, my phone is alive.
Now dear friends, do u know any guaranteed to work -cwm flashing methods for ace?
Since you have flashed stock, are you able to get into stock recovery?

Before you flash CWM Recovery, you need to ROOT ur phone, download upd_1.zip file from the link that I provided in the previous post and flash it from Stock recovery.

PLEASE HELP!! I have successfully rooted the device and was doing ok after flashing CWmod recovery 6.0.1 through E-Z recovery app and running Liquid Rom. I managed to be dumb enough to flash CWMod version 5.8.4.9 through Rom manager and when I rebooted my phone it got stuck in boot loop. I am able to get into CWMod 5.8.4.9 but I cannot restore my backup anymore. I can also data wipe and install a new rom, but it all just keeps going into bootloop and I cannot get past the samsung custom unlock screen. It first flashed that, then the android man pops up on the next screen like its loading something and then just keeps looping through the process. I did not use ODIN for any of this process and I dont know how to get myself back tothe point where I can reboot. Any help would be tremendously appreciated, because I'm dead stuck and in a panic. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Happend to me last night...
I made the same mistake... DO NOT download any recoveries from ROM manager. I found out the hard way... So the problem now is your phone is stuck using the recovery you downloaded. I am not sure of a quick way using that recovery if you can revert back but... My solution got me where I needed to be in order to get going again.
I had to use Odin to root to stock ROM. Yes when you wipe it will destroy your data but not your pictures, downloaded files, and other files you put on there. When I re-rooted with stock all my stuff for CM10, gapps, and the kexec CWM was there.
So use this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28530394&postcount=1
Section 1!!!!! And follow the steps EXACTLY the way it says to.
This is why i have never liked rom manager...
The best solution for us to flash recoveries is ez recovery free from the market. I would use this going forward once you Odin back to stock

Hi, I just need alot of help! I've been a rogers captivate owner for a year and i've rooted, sim unlocked, flashed many, MANY roms with success. I have also soft bricked my cappy a few times but odin restored it back to stock every time where i started over.
So basically, i soft bricked my cappy, used odin to restore to stock rogers gingerbread 2.3.3 , rooted, used odin to install corn kernel and now every time i wipe data and everything in recovery and flash a rom, it says successful but when i restart, it just gets stuck at the " samsung I896 " screen and doesn't go any further. I can't go into recovery or do anything, but i can succesfuly odin back to stock gb. I've used this same procedure many times before and it always worked but not this time. The only difference there was, was that when it got soft bricked this time, I was going from MIUI JB to Paranoid Android JB instead of ics or gb custom roms.
Can anyone please please help me out here? I really hate stock samsung roms and I LOVED JB when i had it, and i really want it back! I would really appreciate anyone's help! Thankyouuu !
[EDIT] Thankyou everyone who tried to help, i figured it out and resolved the problem, the problem was i was wiping data/factory reseting in cwm which i shouldn't have been doing.
What about using Odin to flash a kernel compatible with the Paranoid Rom, then flash the Rom through that kernel's recovery...

Yeah, but paranoid android comes with its own recovery, and oh i forgot to mention, i have tried many times, and sometimes after i flash the paranoid rom, and reboot, the phone will boot but directly to recovery when i normally boot it, so i can flash the rom through its own recovery but still it just boots into recovery directly nothing else, and then i go back to stock and i've been on stock for like a month now, but im really missing paranoid androidd.
Wait i think i found the solution guys please helpp ! on stock when im about to flash the new rom, do i clear user data/ wipe data whatever it is in cwm ? Im doing that with faliure, am i not supposed to?
