I was trying to install one of drewgarens touchwiz roms. touchwiz milestone 5 firefly i believe. not the most recent one because i was too lazy . boy was that a mistake. everything was going smoothly until it booted and it got stuck on boot. I thought no big deal just go into recovery and use a backup. until i did so and recovery was gone and there was only download mode. I have spent the whole afternoon trying to fix it and none of it has worked. I tried flashing the stock rom and it as well got stuck on boot. I looked at all the AT&t relevant ones and also the international versions. so all in all is there anyway to fix this and has anyone had the same issue? i was flashing from cyanogenmod 10 m1 to the drewgaren rom btw. I can also go to download mode. I tried to flash stock but it still gets stuck on boot. log. I flashed the ATT boot logo and it did not work. all of which were flashed through odin.
any thanks in advance is greatly appreciated.
I think you can flash back to stock with just download mode + odin

Unplug your device. Hold the power button to turn it off. Hold volume up, home, and power. It should go to recovery. If you do the same thing with volume down instead of up, you can get into download mode.

Follow the instructions and you should be able to flash the recovery and continue on with what you were doing. Remember to wipe really good when going from aosp back to any stock based ROM. They are completely different and will cause boot loops if you don't wipe.

K I made it home lol. I'll attach a Odin flashable cwm, it's an older one but it'll get you a recovery, I hope. I just tried it on my phone with Odin, 3.07 both with usb debugging enabled and disabled on my phone and it worked both times. Crap keep getting errors uploading right to xda servers, I'll drop box it in a minute.
Ok here we go Odin cwm--> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4.tar.md5
Newest twrp --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/twrp2.3.1install.zip
I'll add the newest twrp for you lol. Flash the cwm with odin, should work and then the twrp is a zip you can flash in cwm.
Hope this helps get you a recovery.
Remember in Odin use only PDA and only have auto reboot checked.

This may sound like a stupid question but what boxes do i tick in odin?
After your hooked up and Odin is open under the options on the left side check only Auto Reboot. On the right under files check PDA and use that button to browse your computer and find the cwm you downloaded from my dropbox. Then just hit start on the bottom of the Odin window and let it finish, your phone should reboot when its done. It will get stuck again like you described in your first post but pull the battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using vol up,home and power buttons. That should (if everything flashed OK) put you into cwm 5.5.0.4. Once there wipe data/factory reset then restore the back up you mentioned in your original post, that should get you running again.

If something has happened to your backup then you could try the stock rooted stuff here , just pick the one for your carrier and follow the instructions. :highfive:

I was able to get it into recovery but i realized i did not have my sd card in so i turned it off and put my sd card in. unfortunately i was not able to get it back into recovery i tried flashing it again with the sd card in and no luck
That's odd. Couple of stupid questions on my part just to make sure, you had the right button combo, and, you released the buttons soon as the splash screen came on? Can you still get into download mode? Oh and did you do the wipes while in recovery?

oh my gosh THANK YOU SOOOMUCH. I was worried i would have to take it to at&t ill be sure to press the thanks button.
I take it you got your phone working lol. Glad I could help a little. Little advice, anytime you switch to a different type of ROM (aosp to stock based or the other way around) make sure you wipe data/factory reset before flashing anything. It will save you problems in the long run.
Oh and could you go back and edit your original post and just add solved in brackets to the title for people in trouble looking for info.

Depending on which stock ROM you flashed with odin you should now have a recovery, if not then something isn't right. The full bone stock ROM should have the factory 3e recovery, and the root injected stock ROM should have some version of CWM recovery. A factory reset will most likely fix your boot loop, if there is no recovery flash the rooted stock ROM that matches your device from this guide.

Hello Everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I installed ROM Manager on my phone, and (honestly not sure why!) but I did. When I launched the application, it told me that v. 6.0 was available if I wanted to update - Stupid me, updated ClockWorkMod to v6.0.
Well, everything was fine.. until I decided to use the ROM Manager Backup option - When I rebooted, it got stuck on
"Could not do normal boot"
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-M919
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
CSB-OEM_CONFI_LSB: 0X30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
Downloading....
Do not turn off target!!
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've tried VOL UP + HOME + POWER - but it goes right back to this spot. I've pulled the battery waited for 5 mins - then tried the same VOL UP + HOME + POWER - still nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay
Don't press the home button is the first thing I can think of.
Power + Volume up = Custom Recovery
Power + Volume down = ODIN/Download mode
To get into Recovery mode:
Pull battery
Insert battery but Don't turn phone on.
Press Power + Volume up buttons and hold them until you see the custom recovery prompt in blue lettering in the upper left corner of the S4, and then immediately release the buttons. You should enter into Recovery.
I don't use CWM so I'm not that familiar with its installation, etc. But there are a few threads that go into CWM in detail.
Plugged it back up to ODIN - pushed out the old ClockWorkMod and system booted back up!! Phew!!
I think I'm going with TWRP..

Here's the TWRP 2.5.0.2 file:
https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html
Install with ODIN.
Steps to follow........
Method #1 -
Place file in PDA box*
Uncheck all other boxes.
Press start.
When installation is complete, unplug usb cord and pull the battery.
Insert the battery but Don't turn on the phone.
Place phone in Recovery mode via the Power + Volume up buttons.
Method #2 -
The other way I've read to install TWRP Recovery is:
Place the TWRP 2.5.0.2 tar in the PDA box*
Check the auto reboot box and f time reset box.
Start the installation and let the phone reboot.
I believe the above method is method of choice, but sometimes the Recovery doesn't take, so Method #1 is then recommended.
Here is an explanation why:

TWRP been having some issues, even the one people claim to be stable. Be caution with that one as well. Let us know how it works out if not can direct you to other recoveries. There are several out there all working flawlessly. Just matter of what you want you know?

TWRP looks to have worked for me.
But I can see what you mean. I no longer get stuck in ODIN MODE - but I was having issues after dropping a ROM on my phone. Even after successful setup of the ROM, if I decided to reboot just for giggles. It would freeze on Samsung S4 Logo.
Well, I have since fixed this issue:
I believe the reason why I was getting stuck on Samsung S4 Logo on reboot was because in addition to wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik - I also formatted the internal_sd - this is just a theory but my internal_sd regardless of me dumping a ROM on there, after reboot would do nothing - When I went in recovery - internal_sd showed 0MB. Thus, stuck boot screen. Nothing to boot too.
FIX: Installed STOCK ROM, and KERNEL - Confirmed, that reboot works after setting up phone. My understanding is that it installs all the necessary folder structure required. Got the STOCK ROM from: http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
Then followed this root process and recovery:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-ro...g-twrp-method/
Once I did that, booted to recovery did the normal (wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik) then dropped ALPHA ROM on my phone, along with Infamous KERNEL, and everything is great. Reboots like a champ now. -- Still using TWRP, but v. 2.5.0 - (no issues as of yet! )
Glad to see all working out for you

Install ODIN 3.07 to your pc
Install drivers for your device onto your pc
I'll post a link to the ODIN thread so you can see how it's done

Please read the above thread in the link carefully.
If your device is stuck on a screen, what were you doing prior to get to that state.
First, boot into custom recovery and Wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot, and see if that helps.
Either way, you should have ODIN on your pc

Any questions, ask in the thread after you read about ODIN and how it works.
Once you install it on to your pc, along with the drivers which enable youropc totrecognize your device you'll find it very helpful when needed.
I have, and so have almost everyone who have ever rooted their devices and/or flashed ROMs, etc
By the way, you are not rooted?
I ask because if you are, you would have used ODIN.

If you go with TWRP, don't use Goo Manager as that will install 2.6.0.0 which has some issues for some, as you probably know.
Install TWRP 2.5.0.2 with ODIN, which I did many months ago, and have had zero issues.
You can install with Mobile ODIN also I believe.

ok, I'm not sure if i'm posting in the right place, but if not, I'll just have to get some crap about that. I have a note 2 and the 4.3 update was draining my battery faster than was acceptable, so i rooted and flashed cm11 to it. I didn't like cm11 after a few days, so i went to try to return to 4.2.
every time i'd try, there would be either an error extracting the files to my computer or it would fail in odin. i finally got tired of trying and decided to go back to the stock firmware and was going to update back to the current official firmware. i thought it had unrooted, and i got the stock firmware working, but when i went to update back to 4.3, it failed and is now stuck on the "samsung galaxy note II" screen when i turn it on. I can get it into download mode, and i try to reflash various roms hoping something will work at this point, but nothing does. odin says it's successful, but it stays on that same screen when i turn it on.
the only thing i can think of is that i forgot to do a data wipe or clear the cache at some point in trying to get back and forth between roms? the problem is that i can't get back into recovery mode, AT ALL. I've tried every combination of the volume up, down, home and power buttons. I've tried holding all the buttons and plugging in the usb cable, EVERYTHING.
i've searched everywhere on xda and tried all of it, multiple times. I saw a thread about a flashable rom that included a data wipe, but it was for a completely different phone, so i left the thread to search for a compatible option like that. i've rooted a few other phones in the past with success, and failure, but none that couldn't be overcome.
Can anyone help? Please!!

Ok, I don't think it will work as your bootloader are updated to 4.3 version and since you are trying to go back on 4.2 may be that ROM is trying to flash 4.2 bootloaders.

ive flashed with odin many times with many roms, but nothing is working. it still freezes at the "samsung galaxy note 2" screen. i've tried stock roms, custom roms, and i've even tried doing an emergency firmware install through samsung kies. i can get to download mode, but not recovery mode.
Also, for some reason, my computer is saying many of the zip files are damaged or can't be opened for some reason. I've tried winace, bitzipper, and 7zip, and it does the same on all of them for some of the files. that's what it said for all of the files on that link any idea of a way around it?

You can try to root it by flashing CWM via Odin and then if you can get into recovery mode try to do Factory Reset and reboot. Hopefully this will solve your problem. If Factory reset don't solve your problem then you can flash new room from recovery mode.

1) Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds,
2) (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and
3) pop the battery in while holding those 3 buttons and see if you can get into recovery this way.
If you can get to recovery this way then do Factory Reset and reboot.

I've read thru this thread, and see your having problems everything recovery mode.
Q:
You sure you have a custom recovery installed?
Are you sure it's rooted?
If so then you should be able to install a custom recovery, using goo manger!
You can also look here for info..

Tried Cyanogen 10.2 d2spr
Sprint Galaxy s3 L710
Android 4.3
Odin 1.85
Got superuser and used goomanager w twrps
made backups
Tried to flash cyanogen and i got error missing md5
tried a fix where you edit the updater-scripts in the cyanogen zip and that didnt work
Then I read that switching to cws would fix the problem, I read that you can d/l the cws zip and use twrps to flash it
Basically I was way over my head and shoulda kept the restore to stock option because that WAS working
Phone wont boot normal. volumeup and power and menu just flashes"recovery booting" or something really fast in the top left corner and shuts back off
Idk... Odin doesnt recognize the phone anymore
Definitely dont know what im doing anymore

Can you get into download mode or are you just plugging into the computer; Odin won't recognize your phone unless it is in download mode first. Also, I find Odin 3.07 to be a bit better than 1.85.

To be clear, you are holding Volume Down (not Volume Up, which is for Recovery Mode), Home Key, and Power Button all at the same time until the main Download screen appears?

You need a couple of things first. You will want to use Odin to push the latest version of Philz Touch, as it is a much better recovery than either CWM or TWRP. There is an option in Philz to restore TWRP backups, so as long as the backup you made earlier was of a proper working ROM (I would assume of your stock version), then you can use Philz to restore it. If you aren't comfortable switching recoveries right away, use Odin to push TWRP again. Basically, I want to make sure you have a working custom recovery in place before proceeding any further. Also, don't use a third-party to download/install ROM's, you need to be downloading from the official source. If you are wanting to run Cyanogen, go to their website and download directly from them.
Philz Touch XDA Thread by CNexus
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
Once you have pushed the recovery onto your phone (make sure the Reboot option is unchecked in Odin, otherwise it will boot up too soon), pull your battery out for about ten seconds, replace, and then use the button sequence for Recovery Mode, make sure to hold the buttons past the vibration until the actual screen pops up.

If you received an MD5 error on the first install, you most likely have a bad download, so you probably won't be able to flash it with CWM either. I am assuming that when you made your backup, you used TWRP, in which case you cannot restore that with CWM, you will need either Philz Touch or TWRP. We need to get you booted back into a working system before proceeding, as you should have no OS installed currently if you wiped everything properly before attempting to flash Cyanogen.
I feel like Im going to have three different recoveries on the phone if I do that. I don't understand what im doing fundamentally. All I can do right now is follow instructions. And I'm scared now lol. How do I increase your thanks meter ahah Maybe I should do more research. Should what I was trying to do work in the first place?

Only one recovery can exist at a time, so whatever one you pushed or flashed most recently will be the current one. Which one did you have on the phone when you made your backup? That will be a good starting point.

So as I mentioned earlier, you will need to get either TWRP back as your recovery, in order to restore the backup you made with it, or you will want to switch to Philz, which is the best recovery option available anyway, and use Philz to restore your TWRP backup. I think for starters you will want to use TWRP just to get back up and running, and then switch to Philz soon so that you aren't too overwhelmed tonight.

Choose the tar file for either version 2.6.3.0 or 2.6.3.1 and use Odin to push it onto your phone (2.6.3.1 is the newest version, but doesn't install properly on some devices; 2.6.3.0 should work for our purposes if 2.6.3.1 doesn't install properly for you). Then follow my instructions a couple of posts back about booting into recovery after using Odin.
Ill have to do this tomorrow. I pushed the tar through with odin and the phone is running at stock with supersu. Im not sure if my recovery is cwm or twrp now. But I have spent all day doing this. Ill continue tomorrow thnx again.

You should now have TWRP as your custom recovery. Feel free to PM me if needed tomorrow for any advice going forward.
So I have read flashed, read some more and I have gotten nowhere in 5 hours. Going to reach out here:
Situation: used Mobile Odin to flash the 4.4 modem from Fenny's 4.4.2 Stock ROM with MK2, (I'm a dumbass). Upon reboot I would get the SG4 logo then the blue mobile odin logo, then freeze. Was able to get into TW 2.7 but nothing would write, would say that it appeared that ROM wasn't rooted. Odin'd cf-auto, brought me back to stock recovery, odin'd TW 2.6.3.1 so now i'm back into custom. Went to go to one of my backups on my extSD, and it restored. Now I'm stuck at the SG4 logo. Attempted to flash firmware back to AMDL to start over..... nothing is happening. Still stuck on logo. Looking for any suggestions, $20 bounty for a fix

First off, please don't post the same question in multiple threads. The Help thread where you posted this was plenty.
Second, try this.
If you are able to get back into recovery, get back to the part where you had twrp 2.6.3.1.
Then restore your backed up rom like you said you already did. (You may still be at that point, but it's not clear if you overwrote that restore when you tried to use Odin.)
Once you are back at that point, wipe cache and dalvik from your restored rom. See if it boots then.

I would recommend downloading the official 4.2.2 tar file and flashing it via Odin from your computer. What bootloader are you on? With the device powered off, press and hold the volume down button, while holding the volume down button, press the power button to turn on your device. Once it vibrates, release the power button. It will prompt you to press volume up to enter download mode, or volume down to cancel and restart. Press volume up. If you do not have Knox use the 4.2.2 tar file and flash that. It seems like your partitions tables are screwed up. So flashing the official tar file will reset that. Afterwards, you will need to flash your custom recovery again through Odin. Then restoring your backups should work.

This is the tar file you will need. Flash this in Odin on your PC and let it do its thing. Then reboot back to download and flash your custom recovery. If you try to boot after flashing official tar, it won't boot. You will need to wipe data and the original factory recovery, if you wipe data using that, it will also wipe your internal sd card as well.

Grab a 4.3 kernel and reflash your kernel. If its stuck at the logo screen its more than likely a kernel issue, if stuck at boot animation, its a ROM issue.

Hi guys,
could anyone please help, I've been playing around quite a lot with rooting and flashing, but now I'm stuck with a problem I can't solve...
Device
Galaxy Tab S 8.4 WIFI (SM-T700 klimtwifi)
Starting point
Flashed CM12 , with CF root and TWRP
Everything ok, but had some trouble with wifi and root, so I wanted to flash a new rom.
Problem
Tried flashing another rom (can't remember if it was AROMA or BlissPop...), but the flashing got stuck.
Now I can only access Download-mode, not Recovery and normal boot gets stuck in the white Samsung-logo, I get past first screen and some other Samsung-animation.
What I've tried
Access to Recovery, not working (I have a stock-backup on internal SD)
Flashed stock image via Odin (T700XXU1ANL1_T700AUT1ANL1_HOME.tar.md5). Should be on right now, but no change in working.
Re-flash TWRP via Odin (tar-file)
Have I missed something? Any problem with going back and forth between Android 4 and 5?

To elaborate, pressing vol up + power + home does not have any effect. Pressing vol down + home + power gives downloading mode as normal.

Sounds like one of the partitions is damaged, its strange because when you flash the stock firmware it relays all the partitions, just to verify you downloaded one of the big factory images from sammobile.com that's 1.6gb big, then flashed with Odin the extracted tar file...also you might not have a custom recovery installed if you have so vol up and home n power wouldn't work......
Maybe your way out of this is going the other way, flash a custom recovery through Odin, then get into that and use it to install ironrom which is like stock but cleaner.

Just to elaborate when flashing stock through Odin it wipes your custom recovery and root...hence why you need to use auto root again through Odin.

Okay sounds like you've hit a dead end but don't panic your not the first to hit this point with t700.
Okay here's what I want you to do,
1. Open up device manager and completely remove your adb driver making sure to check the "also delete driver " box if shown
2. Download this http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html the latest Google adb drivers ..DL this ready actually.
3. Completely disable anti virus..remove if you have to, along with windows defender .
4. Restart
5. Download "i know it seems mad" the austrailian firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43233/T700XXU1ANL1_T700XSA1AOA1_XSA/ and extract the file inside the archieve
6. Right click Odin and run as administrator to be safe.
7. Go for gold and try this...if it works your laughing and can change the firmware or ROM to any local area.
8. If...this doesn't work...restart one last time n try again, if still no then try using another laptop or PC if you can
Good luck keep me updated...I am trying to find you another solution too, got an idea with something called heimdall but not sure as never used it, supposed to be an alternative to Odin.
Hi All, finally had the time to sit down and test your solutions. As it happens, the first (easiest) thing I tried was the timing in pushing recovery boot, according to great help of Maxal. Worked on first attempt, booted into stock recovery, wiped everything and stock rom booted. I was prepared to do it all, so it was funny that a few well-timed presses of buttons solved it .
Now I'm rooted with TWRP and BlissPop again. Thanks everyone for great suggestions and assistance!
I also solved, it was enough to wait for the battery becomes exhausted, recharge the tablet and once off from entering recovery and do a factory reset.
The system is restarted.
