Hey, i have stuck at SGY logo, and odin don't seeing my phone.
I had Creed's Fusion 3.2 and i wanted to install this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758884
I did everything what was in instructions, and my phone stuck at SGY logo. So i decided to install stock rom via odin - but odin don't detecting my phone :/ Recovery works - i was going to CWM Recovery and doing wipe data and cache partition (few times), and dalvik cache (one time).
Nothing changed. I found a function - "format /system". If i do this i will can do something in cwm recovery, and install stock rom (flashable via cwm recovery), or maybe just install stock rom flashable via cwm or something like that? Please help!

You are wrong bro. Stuck on boot logo =/= Bootloop . They are very different things. In bootloop you can see your bootanimation but when you are stuck on boot logo, you can only see the black screen which says "galaxy y gt-s5360"

No ROM will boot..

Hi everyone,
So i'm having an issue with my Galaxy S4 GT-i9505. It seems that any custom ROM I try to flash it with just gets stuck at Boot. I can always restore to stock so its not that big of a deal but still I'd like to be able to use a custom ROM on it one of these days !
Here's what I did so far:
1) The phone was rooted with CF Autoroot, then flashed TWRP recovery with Odin 3.x
2)Tried to install Omega Rom v9. With Data, Cache, Delpik wipe. Stuck at Samsung logo after reboot
3) Restored back to stock
4) Repeated 2)
5)Tried to install PAC Rom, again Data, Cache wipe, Flashed Gapps before Reboot
6)Stuck at "PAC loading" logo
7)Tried 5) again without flashing Gapps. Still stuck
8)Back to stock
I'm thinking of trying to flash a Pre-Rooted Rom like some of DJeMBeY. Anyway, can someone point me in the right direction ?

Help please

Hi guys, I have a little bit of a problem and I was wondering if anybody can help me... I had CM 10.1.3 installed on my S4 I9505 intl and after installing Adam kernel the phone didn´t boot up anymore, so I went to Recovery and I did a wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache and also format system and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) hoping to install the official rom via Odin using the DL mode. After reboot, I got the message Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. First, I tried to install the official rom by booting up the phone in DL mode but it didn´t work, the update stops right at the beginning of the provess, then I tried to recover via Kies but Kies doesn´t recognize the phone neither. So I installed CWM again via Odin ( successfully ) and flashed CM again. Can anyone help me figure out what´s wrong and what needs to be done in order to be able to flash the stock rom ? Thanks !!

Yes I thought of that but I can´t find a .zip variant, do you by any chance have a link for that ?

Why would you flash a kernel for Samsung roms when you are on a CM rom? That will not work.
So from what I understand, Odin works but you can't flash a stock rom? What stock rom did you want to flash? I hope that you didn't try to flash a Knox enabled stock rom. Did you try other stock roms?

[Q] Custom Recovery Doesn't Work Anymore

Hello,
I've rooted my own note 3 and flashed Temaseks unofficial cm 12 rom. Everything works perfect so I decided to do the same thing for my father. It all went well, first I rooted his phone, then I flashed CWM and flashed cm 12 by temasek. The rom works fine but I forget to install the Gapps. So I tried to install Gapps but I got an error "Failure Status 6". I googled on that error and someone told it has to do something with CWM. I tried to flash a different version of CWM but now I can't reboot into recovery mode anymore. So I can't flash anything.
I flashed another version of CWM but this one also doesn't work. Whenever I try to boot the phone into recovery mode, the blue line shows up. Rebooting into recovery mode, but after a few secs, the phone just boots the normal way. Is there anyone that can help me to get CWM back to work? In the mean time I'll try to flash TWRP by Odin.
Thanks in advance!

So I flashed latest version of CWM: Buildversion; 6.13.0, CWM Base Version V6.0.4.7. I can reboot into recovery now but still can't install Google Apps due to failure status 6. On my own Phone I run a different version of CWM, but when I try to flash it, the phone won't boot into recovery mode anymore. It only boots into recovery when I flash this V6.0.4.7 . How can I get rid of this version and flash an older version of CWM?

You'll probably have to Odin back to stock and start over...

You mean If there is no other way to get the Google Apps on the phone, I have to go back to stock. I did make a backup with CWM on the while it was running custom firmware. Now I have 4 files on my comuter, 3.tar and 1.md5 . If I recover them, I will still have this not working CWM version on my phone right? Isn't there a easier way to delete CWM, can I flash TWRP over CWM and see if it will install these Gapps?

Yeah, you should be able to flash TWRP over it. TWRP is much better anyway, in my opinion. Once you get the recovery issue sorted, I really wouldn't't recommend trying to flash just the gapps. It would probably work, but it's also quite likely to cause some weird issues. It's always best to flash gapps immediately after flashing a ROM, without leaving recovery.
I would flash TWRP, wipe everything but your internal SD, re-flash the ROM, flash the gapps, and everything should be cherry.
Edit: here is the link to download TWRP.

I appreciate your effort, thank you. The recovery issue is solved. I flashed Chainfires Root script and that installed the stock recovery. However, when I tried to install and older CWM version I got back in the recovery reboot cycle. But once I installed the latest CWM it booted in recovery. So I flashed Chainfires Root once again and had the stock recovery back. From there on I tried to install TWRP but got the recovery boot cycle again. My phone is now running android 5.0.2 and I think that's the problem.... :S I'll try again to flash Chainfires Root script to get the stock recovery back. From there on I will try to flash the link you gave to me with Odin and hope that will fix it. Do you have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Your version of TWRP works so far. It reboots into RecoveryMode. Now I'll wipe and try to install Temaseks Cm 12 followed by Gapps! Thanks so far!
Okay, it's solved. Can't thank you enough for you help. Bless you!!

No problem. Glad you got it figured out!

How do i install teamwin ?

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.
