HI,
i've been wanting to root and install custom roms on the i9003. i finally got the courage to try to root and do all these things recently, so i rooted the phone using superoneclick.. but i didnt know what to do next, because i wanted to try out custom roms because of what i have been reading on the forums.
so i followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19442301&postcount=1 and flashed the bagaria.tar found here using ODIN.
but it started looping and kept rebooting over and over again. and got stuck in bootloop. eventually it came up and would respond a bit before going back to the booting sequence, and i noticed that opening CWM automatically sent the phone to booting.
thinking that i did something wrong and afraid that i bricked the device i went to this thread and looked for the dxkp9 stock and used odin with it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647)
it just is stuck on boot loop now.
i've tried removing the battery and trying holding the VOLup home and power to no avail.
its just stuck in boot loop.
It is currently stuck in boot loop and wont do anything. i am really hoping it can still be fixed.. a bit of a sentimental value since this was a phone given to me by my dad, and first smartphone as well..
i would be very grateful for any kind of help.

After flashing step 1, did your phone restart/reboot normally?..what was asking for password? "everything goes well" for step1?
after flashing the files (pda modem etc.) the phone rebooted. but now is asking for a password go further. and when i tried to enter recovery and set it to factory settings it also asks for password before wiping the divice. tried a few times but with no success.

Greetings;
I didnt read all the stuff before...
So my answer may not be the best or accurate. (I'm almost out of time - sorry for that).
Either ways this happens to me when you don't perform a clean Flash (Formating Partitions before Flashing, wiping dalvik and cache) and after Flashing; performing a Factory Reset).
After the last step (Factory Reset) it should boot properly.
If not: Remove Battery, place it back and test if it boots.
From my experience: Downgrading ROM also do this issue. But i fix it by Flashing FULL DDLF2 (always with "clean flash") and then after my ROM Boots; Flashing the ROM i want to use.
Hope this helps.
When i flashed the first step my gt i9003 sl went completely blank except a bright light. Any solution or suggestiom

great!!! since you can enter download mode I am gonna say you the easiest way to get your phone back in running condition..
*Download ODIN (google for the download link or search here in forums)
*Download a stock firmware from samfirmware (www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) or from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647 and extract the downloaded file to .tar.md5
*Install samsung USB drivers.
*Get your phone into Download mode and connect it to PC via usb cable.
*Open ODIN and check if the com port section and turned yellow(this means your phone is recognised by ODIN).
*Once the port section is yellow open the PDA section in ODIN and point the downloaded stock firmware in it.(the firmware file should be of format "I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5").This format is just for example and it may vary depending on the stock ROM you dowloaded.
*Click the start button.
*Once finished the ODIN com port section will turn green and should report "PASS"
*Disconnect your phone and Power on.. wait for some time as its the first boot so it will take time so be patient.

tweeks are to to edit your build.prop and CWM(ClockWorkMOD) which allows you to create a backup point which you can restore via recovery and also let you flash ROM,MOD,etc and SuperUser is the app which comes into play after rooting which give root access to your phone/apps.
@themes:since you are on stock you can download any launcher like go launcher from market and download themes from there

I have downloaded the frankenstain rom for flashing,But when I try to enter in recovery mode The screen fades and restarting normally. Is there any other settings for installing a rom..?
BTW when I opens the CWM in my menu it shows 'this version of CWM manager should be used with CF-ROOT v5.0 or newer.It appears you are running on a different kernel. Various features have been disabled.' Is that the problem with the kernel i have rooted..?

To enter recovery mode you should press Volume UP+Home Button+Power Button.press it long enough till samsung logo passes by.. and even my screen fades when I try it manually... try it for 4-5 times till you enter in recovery and dont worry when screen fades,its not an issue...
maybe your kernel is not compatible with the present version of CWM and since its not compatible some features might have been disabled and its no big deal....Custom ROM is zip and should be flashed via recovery so that you can wipe data/cache/dalvik..

Do you mean Stock Recovery still there?
If yes: uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin and flash the recovery again. When Odin finished flashing, wait 1 Minute to be sure. Now DIRECTLY boot from Download-Mode into Recovery! Don´t boot the System!

i must turn of the tablet to put in cwm
@danger2u
If KIES installed, please kill KIES and every KIES and Samsung Process running in background!
Run Odin as Administrator.
Uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin, also make sure "re-partition" UNCHECKED!
Add the recovery.tar.md5 as PDA.
Boot into Download-Mode and connect it to your PC - Odin will show "Added!"
Now Press Start.
When Odin finished flashing: wait 1 minute.
Now press Power-Button & Volume UP at the Same time! Keep them pressing!
When you see the Samsung Logo, stop pressing the Power-Button but KEEP PRESSING the Volume UP button for 5 Seconds.
It´s all about timeing. Also make sure you are using the right recovery for your device!
Btw.:
What error are you getting exactly in Stock Recovery?
Can you still boot your Rom (even if it reboots)?
Edit:
Else you can try flashing the recovery.img using Heimdall (you can extract the recovery.img from the *.tar.md5 using 7-ZIP) - but don´t ask me for instructions on Heimdall it´s different from Odin - but as i read it seems to be safer.

If KIES installed, please kill KIES and every KIES and Samsung Process running in background!
Run Odin as Administrator.
Uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin, also make sure "re-partition" UNCHECKED!
Add the recovery.tar.md5 as PDA.
Boot into Download-Mode and connect it to your PC - Odin will show "Added!"
Now Press Start.
When Odin finished flashing: wait 1 minute.
Now press Power-Button & Volume UP at the Same time! Keep them pressing!
When you see the Samsung Logo, stop pressing the Power-Button but KEEP PRESSING the Volume UP button for 5 Seconds.
It´s all about timeing. Also make sure you are using the right recovery for your device!
Btw.:
What error are you getting exactly in Stock Recovery?
Can you still boot your Rom (even if it reboots)?
Edit:
Else you can try flashing the recovery.img using Heimdall (you can extract the recovery.img from the *.tar.md5 using 7-ZIP) - but don´t ask me for instructions on Heimdall it´s different from Odin - but as i read it seems to be safer.

Hello guys.
Im struggeling to install a custom ROM at the stage of installing a CWM recovery. My S2 plus 9105p runs Android 4.2.2 and everytime I try to upload a recovery img via Odin everything works fine as expected but when I try to start (volume up, home, power) the recovery mode - it gets always into the standard Android one - not CWM recovery!!! It looks like Samsung has integrated some kind of security mechanism which keeps us from running custom ROMs...
I have realy tried maybe 5 different recovery images, but non of those worked for me.
Can you please help?

I tried exactly also this particular site and steps described on it, but didn't help... The same problem. Everything was OK, but recovery was not CWM but standard Android one.
When u have flashed ur recorvery, take ur battery out and then plug battery again. And now go to recorvery.
Now it is WORKING !
Hi guys.
I followed the step-by-step guide on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560928
- used the CWM 6.0.4.5 and Odin3 0.7
- after successfull flash of the PDA with this recovery (manualy unset the auto-reboot option) I have pulled the battery out for a couple of seconds
- the battery came back in again and with home-volUP-Power I got directly to the new CWM recovery.
So thanx all for your support and you can lock this thread as everything is working now.
DETAILED STEPS FOR INSTALLING CWM RECOVERY IF THE PHONE AUTOMATICALLY RE_FLASHES IT:
Installation
WITH ODIN
1. Be sure, that your device is on 4.2.2 stock firmware and shut down the phone
2. Be sure that Samsung drivers are installed on your pc. Just install Kies or google for them
3. Download Odin 3.07(google it) and the CWM-Recovery image (in this case CWM 6.0.4.5 )
4. Open Odin as administrator
5. Start-up the phone by pressing Vol_DOWN + Home + Power so you get into the flash-menu.
6. After reading the disclaimer and warning stuff - simply press Vol_UP and plug the USB cable to the PC and Phone
7. In ODIN click on PDA and select the downloaded CWM-recovery (*filename*.tar.md5) . Check - "F. Reset Time" and UNCHECK!! -> "Auto Reboot"
8. Click start and wait until the blue progress bar in your device is graphicaly 100% (I also suggest to wait another minute to make things sure..)
9. Pull out the battery
10. Pull out the uSB cable from PC and phone
11. Wait abou 10-15 seconds and power up your phone to get into the recovery menu by pressing: Vol_UP + Home + Power
12. DONE

Hmmm...
Are you sure this is CWM?
The options you see come from a stock recovery.
Try flashing another version of CWM.
How???

YOU ARE DOING EVERYHING ON YOUR OWN RISK.
I DID NOT TEST THIS.
Download Samsung drivers here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-USB-Driver-for-Mobile-Phones-15270.shtml
Download odin: http://d-h.st/er8
The CWM revovery itself: http://d-h.st/0Fw
1. First be sure USB Debugging is checked in ur device ( Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging )
2. Extract the Odin file from the zip.
3. Open Odin3 (Run As Administrator).
4. Put your device in download mode. To do so, press Volume Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release
Power Button but keep pressing left ones. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading ..
VOL UP TO CONTINUE...
5. Now connect USB to PC ,you should see a blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying Added. It means that your device is ready to be flashed!
6. Go into the PDA section and select your .tar file.(CWM Recovery)
7. Dont check any option (F.reset time and Auto reboot are checked by default) So just uncheck Auto Reboot.
8. Now click Start.
9. When it's finished, it should say that "Res OK" in Odin..
10. Now remove ur USB and remove ur battery and put it back and go to Recovery Mode (Volume UP And Home And Power Button all
together and when it vibrates release Power Button but keep pressing left ones).
If you don't see Developer options go to Stettings>About phone> press Build version 10 times quickly
I dont know. problem?
