Restore and remove CWM Recov. Strange fail - Galaxy S III Mini General

Basically, I got rooted s3 mini with cwm for the main fact that I wanted a rom with app2sd, I got a rom with that now I want stock, so I returned to my back up of my stock (still rooted and all) and it said I had a system update (84mb) and I'm on 4.1.2 so I thought it would be 4.2.2 or 4.3 which had app2sd and it's stock, so I deleted my root apps, removed root and wanted to remove CWM Recovery, so I got Odin with my correct md5 model stuff and did it and when it rebooted for some reason CWM Recovery said install untrusted zip file, so I said yes thinking is mustn't of installed, so then it reboots to how my phone was before, everything was still there, including CWM recovery, my stock apps I deleted returned tho and now, the thing that pissed me off, the update promp returned to all updates have been installed -_- so it's a whole waste of time, any fix, is it because I never factory reset and wipe cache and ****e

Ive tried everything MF9/MJA stuck at boot

2 days ago i foolishly flashed to a stock rooted deodexed MJA zip from Cyanogenmod 10.2. (NO I DID NOT MAKE A BACK UP. I DID do a full data/cache wipe before i flashed) Things got really weird after that. Phone would not boot past the yellow sprint screen. I had a few different backups that must have been old so i tried restoring to an older Triforce MF9 backup that i had from 2 months ago. After that i was stuck on the triforce boot animation. I thought "maybe my kernel got mixed up when i tried flashing to MJA". Downloaded and flashed stock MF9 kernel NO LUCK.
Ended up using ODIN to install a factory stock .tar of MF9... same boot loop, cleared cache(this succeeded), tried clearing dalvik cache (but it failed). It booted up and YAY stock MF9 WITH ROOT. So after all the sprint bloatware loaded up i was prompted for an OTA 4.3 updated. I foolishly accepted. So my phone shuts down into recovery installs the update then goes to CWM and says "fix root? yes or no" i hit "yes". Since then NOTHING has worked.
I tried to ODIN back to MF9 again as mentioned before, nothing. I thought it may be a kernel issue, I found no info on the new MJA kernel. I successfully used ODIN to flash philz recovery.tar so now im on philz instead of CWM or TWRP. I attempted to flash the original stock rooted MJA.zip that got me into this mess, but no luck. I now can not get passed the "Samsung Galaxy S4 screen" (tried clearing caches, and battery pull too). Im downloading "KERNEL-SPR-L720VPUEMJA-1382157965.tar" & "SPR-L720VPUEMJA-20131030154609.zip" at the moment to flash with ODIN. Also i might add, it seems like any recovery i use, TWRP, CWM, Philz they dont fully install the rom .zip's. I hit "install zip from ext/sd-card" and its like a 2 second installation. NO MATTER WHAT ZIP I TRY. Kernels seem to flash okay.
I dont care about root, or knox. I just want my phone again lol.

you need to try to install the Triforce MJA/4.3.1 kernal/MJA modem all at the same time. IDK what happened on the first try to boot loop you but once you updated the modem to mja you can't flash MF9 modem/kernel on top of it. Try that and let me know.

[Q] Rooted SPH-L720 4.3 Boot Loop help ?

Hi everyone this is my first post, if there is a better place for this in the forum lmk.
My device is a
Samsung Galaxy S4 on Ting which is a Sprint MVNO
SPH-L720 on 4.3 JB
I have gotten myself into a Boot Loop last night trying to restore from backup after "successfully" flashing CyanogenMod custom ROM. The reason I wanted to go back to stock was because none of my data was part of the ROM. This was my first time rooting and flashing a rom and I need help to get back to stock with or without my backup. These are the steps I took to get myself where I am at. I can't post links, I used the videos from qbking77 to do all this.
I used odin on windows to root [Qbking77 on youtube]
I also used GooManager on playstore for TWRP Recovery [Qbking on youtube]
I then used TWRP to create a backup.
I used the GooManager app to DL a cyanogen ROM and a Gapps package.
I installed the 2 zips using TWRP and wiped before I did. The flash works and the ROM works but I want to go back to stock and possibly unroot. I can access download recovery and TWRP but when I try to restore my backup it gets stuck into the samsung booting screen.
I didn't disable KNOX with the SU permission, do I boot up cym again to disable it ?
Does a Restore from backup using TWRP take a couple hours and should I not interrupt the samsung boot screen ?
I only have 800mb space on internal, how do I clear up space for the firmware flash through odin in download recov [QBking77 on youtube]
Thank you for reading, I really need the help
I have an empty sd card in there but how should I clear space for manually installing 4.3 JB when my internal has only 800mb.
I got it back to stock with a 4.3 JB firmware install with an odin v1.85, still can't put up links. I might leave this up for archive and I don't expect to be back on here for a while.
I debugged until my fingernail bled, no lie.

Cant figure out how to install custom rom, without loosing root acces

Dear XDA
I have been an android user for many years and rooting has been one of the things I always did to my devices. I am an owner of a Note 3, which I have rooted succesfully and used X-NOTE 13 rom for long time. Last week I wanted to try something new and after that everything seems to be impossible. Before I install any roms I always perfom full wipe of, system, data, cache, dalvik cache etc. (I do it inside the recovery). Afterwards I tried to install CRASH ROM V9 and the progress went fine. When the phone rebooted the strange things started to happened I couldn't find the rom's extra menu and couldnt find any of the functions that the rom contained. I just thought that it was problem with the rom itself therefore I tried to went back to X-NOTE, but without any luck. The X-NOTE installed probably but I couldnt boot into it, it was stucked at the "Samsung Note 3" logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik but without any luck and every time I rebooted from the recovery the recovery says "it seems your device doesnt have root access" and the recovery tries to gain root access.
Then I couldnt understand anything of what was happening so I went to stock using ODIN. After installing stock rom I used CF-ROOT and everythings went smooth and I could use SuperSU inside the stock rom. Then I installed a recovery and it didn't mentioned anything about root access, so I was ready to install my custom rom...at least I thought so....I installed X-NOTE again (because I knew that this rom worked before without any problems) and after the progress was done I couldnt boot into the rom again, it was stucked. I wiped the cache and dalvik and as soon I clicked reboot in recovery it tells me that I am not rooted.
Then I did the same thing again, went back to stock, installed CF-ROOT and recovery. This time I installed CRASH ROM instead and I could boot into the system, but the rom still misses the "rooted features" etc.
In other words, what have I done wrong? I cant seem to find the problem and I think that I have tried every possible solution?
Informations:
Model: ​SM-N9005
STOCK ROM: Tried both N9005XXUENB4 (German) and N9005XXUENC2 (Nordic firmware)
Custom Rom: Tried both X-NOTE and CRASH ROM
Recoveries used: TWRP, CWM and Philz CWM
Kernels: Tried with stock one and X-NOTE kernel 1.5
I hope you can help me I cant live with stock roms
Thanks in advance

weird.
all the rom you mentioned xnote & crash come with root access inside.
When you said you used all those 3 recoveries, did you try each rom with each recovery ?
and when you flash those rom, did you follow to do a clean full wipe as mentioned on each OP thread ?
clean full wipe is not only wipe cache and dalvik, but also the data (factory reset).

Yes I have and tried several other combinations too. First time I installed X-NOTE I wiped everything and installed X-NOTE without problems.
I cant seem to break the code, I am getting frustrated hour by hour. I have double checked everything, I am on the NC2 bootloader with the NC2 kernel, when trying to install X-NOTE I get stuck at "Samsung Glaxy Note 3" - I cant understand what the problem may be and it is beginning to be personal :/ heheh
But seriously what could I have done wrong?

To be frank... I have no idea. U flash before earlier, means u know how to flash it.
What I could think of, is just the recovery.
I ve been using cwm chenglu all this time (the one reported with less bugs, and most recommended at any rom thread). And jump from rom to rom every 1 week at least with no issue.
I will try tonite use twrp to flash rom. I will let u know if I face any problem.

Finally, finally and finally solved!
Well it seems strange but the problem was the official kernel inside the stock roms that made it almost impossible to run any custom rom.
What I did to solve the problem:
1. Went back to stock rom using a rom with the newest baseband NC2, ex. N9005XXUENC2
1a. I did have som problems getting the bootloader updated, which means I was force to install it over ODIN 3.09 - use this bootloader NC2 BOOTLOADER (Thanks soloilmeglio for the bootloader)
2. I used CF-ROOT to gain root access
3. Then I installed CWM 6.0.4.8 recovery as recommended from antique_sonic (Updated few hours ago!)
4. Install the CivZ-SnapKat-Rev3.1-sm_n9005-4.4.2.zip kernel
5. Lets the phone reboot and check that everything works!
7: Boot into recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache
8. Install the custom rom
Dont ask me why the kernel wasn't working from beginning and why it was "corrupted" after installing another custom rom - but now everything works as it should!
Thank you very much antique_sonic for helping me!

It could probably be a problem with TWRP as you mentioned earlier. After using CWM everything went smooth after updating my kernel. Last night I couldnt hold me back to try one more time, and I flashed X-NOTE with TWRP and I got the same problem as described in #1 post. Then I installed CWM and flashed X-NOTE again and everything got messed up. Then I restored everything, force installed the kernel and bootlaoder. After that installed CWM and then I was able to run X-NOTE without any problem.
I am not a professional developer but I may think that the problem is TWRP when it tries to flash the kernel under the process with may results in some problems. When using CWM from the beginning I do not get any problems but when using TWRP I need to restore everything back.

[Q] E:failed to mount /sdcard

Having some issues getting a recovery to be flashed on this new device, I am not use to a phone that when rooted doesn't have some stock recovery that actually works. And by that I mean, allows me to install zip from file. All I get is the option to reboot, flash from adb, install from external, wipe factory reset, wipe cache, and install from cache.
Sorry if this has been asked a few times before, but with my searching I didn't find any one answer that solved my problem. Tried flashing a recovery via odin but it said Auth fail for the recovery. Going to try a few other things and see what I can come up with.
Thanks in advanced!
What recovery are you trying to flash? I believe the closet thing we have to a custom recovery is safestrap. Is that what your trying to install?

It sounds like you flashed philz touch recovery witch will not work with the VZW S5 you need to flash SafeStrap Recovery. You might need to Odin back to stock and re root your device to get it back to normal first.

I didn't flash anything when I first started rooting the phone I just used towelroot, then when the OTA messed it up I went and did the NCG to NE9 method using odin and towelroot. But every time I went into recovery, it has been the same. It wasn't until I used the toolkit from the forums that installed safestrap and busybox did I actually get a different recovery, but even if I reboot into recovery it still takes me to the stock one first and then on reboot i can access safestrap.
Yes, that's how safestrap works, through a process called "bootstrapping". It never replaces your stock recovery so when you boot into recovery it'll always be stock but upon boot you'll be presented with the safestrap option.....totally normal
On another note, my Supersu binaries wont update so I'm going back to stock anyway. I think I may leave it at stock for a while until I see some more ROMs come out.

Your other option is what I have done. I first went the safestrap route but installed rom on rom slot before finding out about the bugz in safestrap. So I odined back to stock. Instead of installing something with bugz in it I rooted, installed supersu and Xposed framework with some modules. Wanam module gives you most of the customizations found in custom roms. Tons of other modules for pretty much anything you want to tweak. Works like a champ on stock system.

[Q] Problem after flashing CF-Auto Root S5 SMG900F

Hi guys im a bit rusty again in all this since i rooted my S3 and HTC desire years ago ,
I have an Galaxy S5 SM-G900F (bought seperately without any provider)(EU)

i followed this link and how to from ChainFire "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537"
wich i been using on my Galaxy Tab 7 Lite(T110) as well and worked flawlessly
I followed the exact steps as usual , rooting went fine, phone rebooted as it should , i updated SUPERSU and its binaries and installed Ericson's Busybox,. ,and everything worked as it should ,
then i put off my phone and boot in to recovery mode to flash the Philz_touch_6.26.1-klte.zip (touch recovery)
when im in my stock recovery i facepalm'd myself because i hadnt put the flashable recovery file on my internal storage yet ,
so i wanted to reboot back in the phone so i could put the file on my internal storage so id be able to flash it from stock recovery ,,..
this is where it all got strange,.
My phone stays black after Boot logo, gives me errors like ,. SYSTEM UI STOPPED ,. and so on for about everything that keep the phone running , i mean really everything STOPS , after about 15 minutes and klicking away all the Stopped msg's , it just reboots again to do the same.

Did you use the latest version of ODIN to flash the CF Root?
Think Odin3 v3.10.6 is the latest current version
If you used an old version, try flashing it again using the new one, other than that, I can only suggest trying to fix permissions in recovery if it has that option, TWRP should have it, and finally a factory reset, which is not ideal

i used Odin3-v3.07
but after flashing the root everything worked installed superSU and updated it and its binaries and installed busybox,.
it all stopped working after i went into Stock Recovery and back
id prefer not to do a factory reset Wipe,. unless i really have to to fix it ,.
im going to try reflash with the latest version then,.
i have swapped SD card to galaxy tab to put the Flashable touch recovery on the SD card, and swapped back to the phone so i could Flash the Recovery when im in stock ,.
but ill try flashing Root with latest Odin first.. thank you

the new odin is a bit less informative (to me as beginner)
i managed to use AP to flash the root again
all goes fine , it reboots
and its now upgrading android as it says and opening app's
then Black screen again,. i klick a button,. and it shows me again all the STOPPED msg's of all internal apps that are crashing,. litterally all apps,
what can i do ?
If clearing cache didn't work, fixing permissions in recovery didn't work, only thing left I can think of is factory reset

No reason a factory reset won't fix things, worst comes to worst, flash the whole ROM again from ODIN, that will fix everything as it wipes and reinstalls the lot
Grab a stock ROM from sammobile
Thank you for all your replys mate..
I managed to get it working again by doing a factory reset in stock recovery after I flashed root with latest odin
Even tho it was my last resort there was nothing else I guess .
I'm not sure tho if this will happen again when I go back to recovery like I did when this all happend the first time while I actually want to flash a more advanced recovery then stock recovery ..
But I'll take my chances and just leave it as it is
Again thank you for your help and suggestions .

Pleased you got it working again, I would say if you think you might want to flash another advanced recovery in the future, it might be best to do that now since you have already factory reset the phone, that way if this happens again, you don't lose months of data and settings and files that you have gathered between now and whenever you decide to flash recovery

i have actually ,. i installed the TWRP u mentioned,. by taking there app from the Playstore,. and flashed the new recovery, within android and without rebooting (just in case)
im used to the old CWM thats why i first wanted the Touch recovery as its based on it,
but always open for trying new things
Thank you
Good stuff
Id say the whole entering recovery / apps crashing thing was a problem with the ODIN version you used to root, too old for Lollipop is my guess, so I wouldn't worry about entering recovery again.
