Hello,
my phone was working like a charm with cm 7.1 , Siyah Kernel, clockworkmod recovery mod 5.0.2.
I decided to upgrade my Siyah Kernel from 2.0 beta 8 to v2.
I used the QR code from Xda forum. Phone downloaded kernel, then once download finished, opened Rom Manager app, then invite me to install the new .zip file.
I usually do it manually, in rebooting in recovery and installing the .zip file in recovery mod, but I wanted to try this way.
Now my phone doesn't boot, hanf on on Samsung logo. No recovery mod available, only download mod.
Tried to reinstall ClockworkMode recovery 5 with Odin, but nothing happens. The yelow box stays yellow, and message hans on at Setup connection.
I alos tried to flash P-SBL.tar with odin, but it failed.
So, what can I do??
EDIT : Issue solved. Retried with Odin and ClockworkMod. This time I booted in recovery, phone booted in it and installed new kernel, and the booted in cm 7.1. I do think this issue came from Rom Manager.
So far as i know, using rom manager with the S2 is a mistake.
The S2 dosnt like rom manager much, and it can end up in a lot of problems up to a semi bricked phone.
Glad you solved it , but i recommend to avoid rom manager for now

Hello There, Im currently running Philz Touch based on CWM 6.0.3.3 and i would like to install the original CWM 6.0.3.2(0611).
can some one tell me how to do that? im afraid to do this kind of stuff alone
I think you just have to flash it via ODIN 3.x and it overwrites the old one.
Stick your phone in download mode, make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed, Kies isn't running in the background, download the .tar file from wherever, open Odin, click on PDA, select the recovery, then click start after checking everything.

Thank your very much! Will try it soon when ill be at home
Edit: recovery overwrite worked successfully but now my phone is stuck on boot animation.
The boot animation is not stuck but the phone isn't starting.
Tried to flash some new ROMs like WanamLite and Omega but nothing changes...
now i installed a stock rom but nothing changes
Hi there.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and I’m using TWRP Recovery 6.0.4.4.
I tried to flash a nightly-version of CyanogenMod (cm-10.2-20131101-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip). I did a Factory Reset before flashing, TWRP said it had been successful.
When I tried to boot my phone, I can see the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 GT-I9505" logo, here it got stuck. I can not see the cyanogen boot animation.
Though MD5 hashes and file sizes are ok, I tried another ROM: SuperNexus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407616
Here it was exactly the same. My device gets stuck even before the boot animation.
I was so desperate, that I tried to format my complete internal storage. Flashing the ROMs was successful again, I could boot both ROMs CM and Supernexus then. But after I turned off my device I can't boot any more. Again I can not see the boot animation.
I have already tried it with PhilZ and CWM. I flashed them using my current recovery.
Any advice?
I am sorry for my English, if you need more detailed explanation, please ask. I tried to describe everything as detailed as I can.
Can you get into download mode? You may have to flash a stock ROM to get it to working again. Was the phone previously rooted?
And are you currently on a stock ROM or coming from a custom ROM?
Yeah, I can get into Download mode.
Well, I am not sure what ROM I'm currently using since I wiped everything. Previously I had FoxHound ROM, samsung-based pre-rooted custom ROM.
Have you tried flashing a custom Kernel?
Sounds like what I had when I tried to flash a TW Kernel for a AOSP ROM.
If you can't get into recovery, go into download mode and flash the latest CWM. Got my phone working.
FoxHound ROM installed a custom Kernel, "Ausdim Kernel" I think.
Now I have CWM 6.0.3.2 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279579
Not sure if this is the latest version ... I can't find an Odin-flashable *.tar
Anyway it doesn't work too. This recovery can't even flash CM, it gets stuck at "opening update package ..."
Sorry its a bit late.

Use them. This may help as a tutorial to follow loosely but that was for non working WiFi.

I am trying to install the Sammy Deluxe Custom Rom, but when i did it got stuck on the boot animation and kept restarting again and again with 2 fast vibrations.
I tried installing a diferent S5-like ROM and ended up with the screen showing Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and not going any further than that.Note that i installed a less consuming, 459 MB ROM 4.4.4 AOSP and worked fine. Now i unrooted and went back to stock for the moment, but i would really like to make Sammy Deluxe work.
That being said, here are the steps i followed:
1.Root the phone via the galaxys4root*[email protected] method via the motochopper application. It installed superuser but it didnt give me access to it, telling me it had to update and giving the options Cancel/Install/Recovery Install. Neither worked.
2.Root the phone via an apk found here on xda. Worked like a charm and Superuser updated.
3.Install Twrp. Put the .img file in the sdcard and typed command on Android Emulator. Flashed the .tar file via Odin.
4.Go to recovery, follow the guide steps(Full wipe, Advanced wipe, Install Rom), choose the settings i wanted in installer and reboot the system.
After i rebooted i got to what i typed on the first row, boot animation crash and double vibration restart.

So what did i do wrong?How can i install the ROM correctly?
So I have installed the 6.0 CWRecovery in my Note 3 (hlr) in order to install the newest CWM12(7.8), I managed to install the CWRecovery touch 6.0 using the app known as Flashfy, it worked fine and so I managed to install CM mod 12 (I have some problem with the stock Music app, which crashes all the time). I saw a new update (8.1) and I wanted to update it again, but the boot does not load the recovery mod and thus, it just keep on a recovery boot loop. The only way to get out of such loop is to load the download mode, and then it boots the CW12. I have tried reinstalling the recovery mode using the flashfy and rom manager, but it does not work at all, even when using the said programs to flash the ROM itself. What should I do? Thanks!

Try downloading the TWRP...tar file for your phone (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 - click top right for your phone) and flash it using Odin - it will give you TWRP Recovery.
Also go to Chainfire's site and get SuperSU.zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip) so you can flash it in Recovery.
I flash the ROM, then GApps (I use PA version) then SuperSU in one flash session, then I Restore my Data partition from my nandroid backup and always good to go after that.

I have a i9000 and i would like to install twrp so i can install a 7.0 rom but i dont know how to install twrp can someone tell me how?
I would also like to know this as well. I've tried CWM through odn but it's a zip so wont flash. I've tried it in stock recovery but obviously get the signature fail msg.
TWRP comes with the kernel and hence the ROM.
It gets automatically installed if you're on older BML/MTD device..
In which case you should have rebooted after acceptign wipe..
Ahh right, so I flash a new kernel to it and that comes with the recovery built in.
Do I flash the kernel from odin or stock recovery. Got the stuff to unbrick the phone if that happens, just wanted to know the right way before flashing stock rom back and starting again.

The kernel is flashed by the ROM zip... I dont remember if it automatically reboots to recovery or not..
However it does create a file in cache that makes it boot to recovery.. Since the /system is not yet installed.
You should flash the ROM after it boots to new recovery.. then install the zip file again..
All this is described in https://github.com/xc-racer99/android_device_samsung_aries-common/blob/aosp-7.1/updater.sh
I got there in the end.
I flashed CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.tar with odin, then installed cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip which also updated my older CWM. It had a spam, so I wiped/factory/dalvik etc from the updated CWM and then reinstalled cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip - now running the rom just fine.
Will be trying out some more over next few days now I have a nandroid of CM10.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
