So i had to Odin back to stock because in whatever rom i used i wouldnt get vibration for text messages. This worked fine and i flashed back to eugenes stock jk2 that was prerooted. Now i need to install new roms again and im having trouble. I have rom manager installed and superuser was already there. I got the rom on the sd card (tried with multiple roms), but when i go to flash the roms it fails because it can't verify the signature. Even when i go to fix permissions and reboot my phone like rommanager tells me to it cant flash a new rom. On the other roms i had i would just go to advanced options in recovery and disable verification checks but with the stock recovery i cant do this. So my main question is why isnt this option in cwm recovery and how can i get it there so i can start getting roms again. Thanks for anyone who takes the time to read this...
Make sure that you have CWM recovery flashed onto your phone using odin. Also make sure that whatever rom you install is on agreement with your software version.

Are you putting the rom on the internal memory?
Yea i copied it to the iternal sd, i see it on the internal sd, but the only way to reflash it is to rename it update.zip becauae all i can do is reinstall system packages
You have to download cwmrecovery, plug your phone in while in download mode and put cwmrecovery onto your phone. Just installing rom manager doesn't cut it and trying to flash anything will give the exact errors you're talking about.

You put the rom Just on the internal sd card not any folders right?
its doesent matter at least for me if the rom is right there or in a folder no difference just file called update.zip need to be there (not in the folder )
and no ! u cant flash clockwork recovry thru odin ! loL both of these program u mentioned are intended to flash roms not to be flashed as rom p u can flash in clockwork recovery if the rome is made for it which would be packed with .zip file if its odin file it would be .tar not every rom is flashable thru odin or clockwork depends how devs made it

Something must have gotten corrupted in the file transfer. I know your fustrated . Have you tried repeating the odin process?
Yea it was on the internal sd, i mean iv probably flashed 20 different roms and i know how to move them between different file folders and how to access them ect... The only problem is basically that im stuck in stock which has a different recovery

No this sounds like a good idea though, maybe i should use a different tar file.

Here is the update.zip that will flash you into clockwork from stock recovery. Put this on your phone's internal sd, reboot to recovery, and hit "reinstall packages". If your phone reboots to stock recovery again, hit reinstall packages again and the second time it should put you right into Clockwork Recovery. Good Luck.
Thank you this is what iv been looking for
NP Friend, let me know if it works for you.

What rom are you currently running, still on Eugene's JK2? If you Odin'd a stock file, you may have 2e recovery, not the modded 3e. Check this thread, it may help you out with the stock recovery issue. In fact untermensch mentions this kind of issue specifically in the OP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423

I just added this to the ACS, thanks for reminding me
Dear all,
I need your help on solving a problem I am having on my GT-i9505.
Yesterday I have tried to root the device with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505, and it worked fine until I noticed that it was somehow very slow on phone start.
This slowdown problem was not caused by the root process because I have noticed it even before the root process.
In order to try to solve it, I have installed the CWF i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4, and made a backup of the system before make a full system restore (wipe data/factory reset) via CWF.
After that, the system did not started and stays on a boot loop.
Accessed the CWF again and restored the backup, but the problem remains.
After all this process, I get totally lost and tried several solutions and none of them worked.
At this moment I can only access "download mode" and CWM based recovery.
Since I am already lost, and really do not know where to go next, I ask you help on how can I solve this problem and have the phone working again.
The only data I have about the phone:
MODEL: GT-I9505
I9505XXUEMJ5 / I9505ZWAXST
I know this is an international model.
I think on downloading the stock firmware from samsung (4.2.2 or 4.3) no not know which one is advisable, but before that I really need to know if there any additional solution because I don´t even know if this will solve the problem.
Another problem is the hotfile hosting, since I connection is very unstable and will take some time to download the file.
Anyone can help me please?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Paulo Matos
Since you already have CWM installed you may aswell download a new rom and copy it an SD card. install from recovery.

Thank you simondo12.
Do you mean, download a stock firmware from samsung for this especific model and install it from sd card?
If not, what file do you advise for my model?
Since I am unable to access the phone via android, I have tried to access the sd card from CWF. What I noticed:
- I can access the external sd card from the pc, but I cannot access the internal sd card from the pc.
- I cannot access the external sd card directly from CWF (perhaps because of it's size since it´s a 64GB), but I have access to internal sd card
Even if I copy the file to the external sd card, I will be unable to install it from CWF because I have no access to the external sd card (error on mounting external sd card). Is it the size of it?
I am trying to download the new firmware (4.3) from samsung for my model and will try to install via odin. Will I require to install the attachment that says "kernel file"? This process will take lots of time because I have an unstable internet connection for downloading via hotfile and uploaded file servers.
The problem is that I do not know if it will work because the phone is rooted and have cwf installed.
Thank you very much
Paulo
since its a 64GB have formatted it in exfat? if so then CWM may not recognize it. I would try installing Philz recovery if you are using standard CWM see if it will recognise the card. Do you have another SD card you could try?
There's not really much point in flashing a new firmware in odin if you have cwm installed. Just copy custom rom over to an SD card.

Hi symondo12,
Thank you once again.
I have alredy found the Philz thread and found a gt-i9505 version and instructions to install both from sd and from odin.
I will try and see what happens.
Regardless the custom rom, since my galaxy s4 was on 4.3, will I be abble to downgrade? Ask you that because I do not know if there is a custom rom for gt-i9505 on android 4.3.
If not, just need to copy the stock rom to sdcard and install it the same way as a custom rom?
Thank you very much for your time
Regards
Paulo

Dear symondo12,
I have changed the sd card to a 2GB sd card and CWF now recognizes it.
I will see if I can download the stock firmware from samsung and see if I can install it and solve my problem.
Additionally I found a "Pure-Google-pre-rooted-4.3-v2.3"... hope it works.
Thank you once again

I have ATT i337
It was originally on NB1, when I rooted, safestrap and installed phoenix rom. It worked great until I decided to flash Omega. So i did a nandroid backup. According to Omega, I had to flash:
Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
Modems XXUFNC9 -> I9505XXUFNC9_GSM_LTE_Modems.tar
Those failed for me, but I was still able to use my phone normally. I was told I just needed to flash the zip. I created a rom slot and tried to flash it on that. Well after a full wipe in SS 3.72 (everything except sD), I tried to flash zip, but it failed. Saying editing partitions failed. I deleted partitions and tried to flash zip on stock and still failed.
I had to ODIN to stock because phone would not boot. Rooted NB1 with towelroot, safestrap, then back into recovery to restore backup. After a 6 second restore, I rebooted, and the phone would not boot.
Odin back to NB1, upgraded to NC1, re rooted and tried to flash a new zip (phoenix rom), I am getting error editing partitions failed.
What can I do now?

1. Odin back to stock is exactly what I do when I have any issues. Good call on that one.
2. Since you are using safestrap, ignore the rom install instructions that say to flash a new modem or bootloader.
3. ROM slots do not work on safestrap v3.72. You can only flash in the stock slot.
4. If you are trying to restore your backup to the stock slot, your backup may be corrupt.
5. On your last attempt to flash the ROM, was it on stock slot or rom slot?

It was on stock slot, I did a full wipe, and still fails
Actually it was saying Updating partition details and then fails. Now it says Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/data'

I've seen the unable to mount system message when there is an incompatibility with safestrap and your bootloader. Never seen the unable to mount data or ss.
Not really sure why it's doing that, but we can rule out a couple things. Try this...
1. Odin back to NB1 stock and take the NC1 update. Verify the bootloader is right... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51067793&postcount=4
2. If that's good, then try a different ROM, just to test. I'd recommend one from the ATT dev forum for this test to eliminate other possible issues.

I flashed Slim Rom and the flash worked, but the screen would remain black. Would not but it would start off with option to enter SS. I hit continue, and get black screen. I go into recovery, and get a black screen.

You need to be rooted. So if you have just odined and used towelroot to root your phone, you should be all set.

I was going to use one of those roms but you said original android dev so I went to that forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/orig-development
and use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561125
I am formatting my sd card, moving my files over again and restarting the process but instead I will try flashing phoenix.
On a side note- funny thing happened. I copied my whatsapp folder to the sdcard, verified everything was fine and it moved over. I also did an sms backup with the app, and moved that folder over as well. For whatever reason, the contents of just those two folders disappeared. So weird. Like a cruel joke.

Thanks for the link. Sorry, for the confusion. I just meant flash an ATT based ROM as opposed to a i9505 ROM that is compatible. Slim ROM is a nice looking ROM, but it's not going to work. Only touchwiz based ROMs work since we can't change the kernel.

I was able to flash my Rom. Everything seems to be fine now. Weird how my whatsapp folder on my SDcard had its contents erased. I will probably start a new thread about that, but I doubt anything can be done.
Many thanks guut!
My phone is already rooted, and has ClockworkMod recovery installed. Can I just pop the stock firmware onto my extermal SD card, and flash it like I would any rom with CWM? Or do I have to use Odin?
Thanks in advance.

No you can't. Flash stock with odin. Backup all with the CWM should you want to revert back.
I have a T Mobile Note 3. I originally had Jelly Bean firmware. I rooted it and have gone through several custom ROMs. I was using Cyanogenmod 12 Lollipop, but today it started messing up. So, I went into recovery and wiped the data and dalvik, but that didn't help. So, I wiped EVERYTHING. Even what was on the SD card. Now, I am following steps using ODIN to install firmware again, but it isn't working.
I have gotten as far as to install CWM, but that's it.
I have CWM 6.0.4.7 installed.
I tried installing CF autoroot. I have downloaded and installed KitKat stock firmware files. Each time I try to install ODIN just says it failed.
If I could get a custom ROM on the SD card, I think I would be ok, but even though ODIN works, Windows doesn't let "see" my phone. I can't access the storage through the computer.
Someone please help. I'm stuck.
