I'm trying to flash a custom rom made from romkitchen however have hit a wall. Any help pointing out a solution or where i may have gone wrong would be most appreciated. I'll outline all the steps i took, not sure if they are related to the issue or not.
I started of with froyo dtjp5 with no 3 button and 3e recovery. I started by using odin to flash the canadian bootloader fix which worked perfectly and gave me 3 button download mode. I then flashed chainfire cf-root 1.3 kernell which also worked perfectly and i know have working 2e recovery mode. I then donwloaded clockwork rom manager form the app market, and flashed the clockworkmod recover 2.5.1.2. It appeared to be successful. However when i attempt to enter recovery mode, either through the application, or through 3 button mode it, simply boots into normal 2e recovery mode rather than clockwork mod. I have tried applying the flash again but it still did not work.Untill i can boot into clockworkmod recovery i cant apply my romkitchen zip file so im kind of stuck. I must be missing something but cant figure it out, so once again any held would be much appreciated. Thanks
flash for example voodoo or speedmod kernel with odin/heimdall or kernel flasher(haven't used it often so i am not sure about kernel flasher)

Make sure CWM is set as update.zip on your sdcard - ROM Manager should actually do this for you - then in 2e recovery select flash update.zip ... the very first time it should just reboot your device (so go into recovery again), the second time it should start CWM.
Not sure why CWM is built that way.
Thanks very much
Ok so I am having a problem with cwm that i hope someone can help me with. I just flashed the latest speedmod kernel using the sgs kernel flasher app. Now when i try to reboot into recovery from cwm so that i can access the tweaks menu, the cwm options dont appear. It says i am in android sytem recovery(3e). where my only real option besides wiping the phone is to apply sdcard:update.zip, which does not work even though cwm is set as update.zip on my sd card. Any help to this noob would be appreciated.

to apply CWM from 3e recovery you need it on your sd card. it has to be named 'update.zip'
the other way to do this, is download odin version, boot into download mode, and flash.
overall process takes less than 5 mins.
Check if you really have it -> settings -> about phone.
And try to flash it using odin, that worked flawlesly for me.

The kernel definately flashed correctly. I am not sure why the update.zip isnt workingfro cwm (the signature verification keeps failing), but i am going to try odin and see what happens. I've never used it before, but i am downloading it now.
Hey Guys,
i have a problem with flashing custom recovery on my I9505(jfltexx).
When i flash "DBT-I9505XXUBMEA-20130601103235" via Odin and in addition the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505" my phone boots up, most of the time but not all the time. Now when i try to flash custom Recovery via Odin, my phone stucks at the Samsung Galaxy Logo and it wont continue. Even if i enter the standard recovery from Goomanager and i select "reboot system now" it stucks on the Logo!
Any Help?
Thanks in Advance

Yeah but thats the problem. I can't enter the recovery mode and when i try to flash a PRE-rooted rom from djembey my device stuck at the BootLogo.
In a nutshell: There is no option performing a wipe!

Ok now i get it as per what i see i can still get your device back to normal but myte take multiple try rest assured it will work
1st flash a stock firmware again (not rooted pure stock) this time using pit file along with firmware
and while flashing the firmware using odin and pit do check re-partition also
Note with out pit file do not check the re-partition box
and once the flashing is done device should boot if its not booting
go to stock recovery like how i told u earlier and do factory reset and wipe cache
and reboot
and tell me the status.. all the best

So let me get this clear. In Odin i should check the stock Rom in PIT instead of PDA? And check the Re-Partion box?

Based on what you said, it seem like you still have all the partitions intact. Just that they are empty right now.
Did you do a full backup before all this problem happen? Or did you do a custom backup?
Are your backups stored in external memory and is a full backup? If so, try using custom recovery to restore your backup?

Chill. Your phone is definitely not bricked. I encountered your problem before when i was experimenting with something.
- Right now, boot to whatever recovery that you have. Try to wipe cache, dalvik, and any other partition if possible.
- After that, boot to download mode and try to flash STOCK rom using odin. Check that flash was success.
- Try to boot your phone and report here on what happens.
Edit: You might want to consider restarting your computer and changing usb port. "Faulty" Usb port will affect the flashing part.

Behave your speech smart guy, they are trying to help!
general rule on how to fix a bootloop:
1- Wipe data and cache. If not,
2- Restore a nandroid backup if available. If not,
3- Flash stock firmware, If not,
4- Flash stock firmware with pit file (you can try pit file alone).

you can either format data in cwm or in stock recovery format data/reset
or if that doesnt sort the boot loop quickest way to solve it is just to flash stock rom via odin
Remember next time before you do anything like flashing a mod or trying out something different to always make a nandroid backup in cwm - this way if you get into a boot loop or want to revert what you have done you just have to restore your nandroid backup
anyway stock rom firmware is found on my thread below

follow the instructions fully on my thread
you need to install the usb drivers
you need to put your phone into download mode (vol down home button power button)
cwm is not required and not used to flash stock rom via odin - you must be in download mode NOT recovery mode

Sorry,I don`t have better idear.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 SM-T330NU KitKat 4.4.2
Sister borrowed by tablet on a study abroad trip and took it upon herself to root it. it was rooted successfully using Odin 3.10.6. she then installed TitaniumBackup Pro and started to uninstall things. in an effort to rid the tablet of bloatware, she probably deleted something important. When booted, tablet will stick on Samsung screen. So i factory reset. this goes smoothly, but right after the initial setup, i can see the notification bar if there is a notification present and can access the multi window thing at the bottom but no home screen. I also get an error saying "Unfortunately, Samsung Knox has stopped". When i am in settings or anything else and press the home key the screen just goes black. almost as thought everything else it there, its just missing the home screen. I flashed 2 different stock ROMs, and 1 pre-rooted ROM with Odin, and factory reset after and the same thing happens.
First try a factory reset in recovery not rom
in philz goto > wipe and format options > Factory reset and reboot
if no go then
Try formatting data,
adb pull all you important stuff off of tab first
then
in philz recovery goto > wipe and format options > wipe user media
twrp has a similar functions but i don't know where they are
then reflash an official release

cannot operate the tablet to install philz
(Wasnt really clear on m y first reply, sorry.)
also, on attempt of flashing just downloaded stock ROM, Odin is telling me to get a PIT file, which are very specific to the device, but i cant seem to find one for the SM-330NU. Delete cache and factory reset done before i even tried flashing. Same result. the data is gone and ive made peach with that. I just want it to work at this point. as i cannot access the home screen, cannot install philz.

Philz is a touch version of Clockworkmod recovery (a custom recovery); you can install the tar file with Odin with the tablet in download mode. Alternatively you can use TWRP (a different custom recovery) instead of Philz, whichever you prefer
I went to the TWRP developer site and could not find a version for my model. Found your post of Philz downloads and got 6_58_9 final recovery and flashed it. flash said successful in Odin, but when i tried to reboot into recovery mode i see the "Recovery Mode: in the upper left corner for a split second, then it automatically jumps into download mode and says "Could not do normal boot" right above where it says Odin Mode.

Edit: sorry didn't see that last post
The TWRP links posted by user badusenamechoice seemed to have worked. I truly appreciate your time and energy helping me out. I am a computer nerd from waaaay back, but I'm still learning the world of Android modding. So, thank you for you patience in explaining things to me. Even if it hadn't been fixed, its nice to know theres a forum out there with knowledgeable folks, should I eff it up myself. You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir.
