So I am not to NOOB but I sure acted like it last night when I was way tired and tried to flash a ROM. Here is what I did...
I didn't catch that I didn't have the CWM but that I had booted into the stock recovery tool... Well I didn't before it was to late that is...
I clicked WIPE DATA
I clicked WIPE CACHE
Then noticed there was no "install from SD"
So it seems like whatever I find to install from ODIN I can't get the CWM to install so I can then flash a ROM!
I need my phone up for work, I am in HOT SH!T!
How can I either flash a rom via stock recovery "update format" OR install CMW via ODIN?
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!
Thank you
why don't you just flash again via odin and then root your phone via odin as well?
Don't quite understand whats your problem. So what if you wiped data and cache the rom is still there. Reboot normally and flash cfroot according to your firmware and then you should have cwm up and running. After that flash desired rom and the end.

Flash one of the CF-Root kernels through Odin, whichever one matches the firmware you're running. They have CWM baked in, along with root so you can flash a ROM afterwards.
If you can't get into download mode, turn your phone off, plug it in and hold down + power + home and it should boot into download mode. Then you can flash with Odin.
I thought the same thing, that so what that I wiped them... but when I rebooted the phone it just sits at the "Rethink possible screen"
I can get into download mode and I did find the "cf" post but I dunno what kernel I am running as I can't boot to go into settings to seek.
if you in recovery mod choose reboot, and it will be ok, than read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399,
or put in download mod: turn your phone off, hold down + power + home. Then flash with Odin.
I know you probably don't want to, but you can try doing a factory reset, that should allow you to get your phone up and running. If you have gmail installed it should put all your contacts back, as long as you backed up to gmail.
If you have an old copy of titanium backup you won't loose ALL your apps, this is why I tend to back up every weekend, I'm only a week behind with everything if problems arise....

Flash stock rom... Download cwm and flash with odin.... Then instal rom u want with cwm...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
like I said, I am not a noob, just made a mistake...
I found the cf-kernel page, but I dunno what kernel I am running and so I dunno what kernel to flash (It seems vital)
"just rebooting" don't work lol I wish... it hangs at the "rethink possible" boot screen...
I was rooted but running the stock rom, if I can get CWM installed I think I will be golden, but whatever I seem to flash from ODIN don't work :-( no matter what nothing will flash as "PDA" but when I flash using "phone" it seems to install "zimage" which is the embedded file and succeeds and phone reboots... but still only to the rethink possible point.
flash any stock firmware then flash supercore 2.0 and do whatever you want from there
Think i know what the problem is,i have same issue sometimes,try flashing anogher rooted Kernel through odin,make sure its like if the rom is a kj3 that it has a kj3 kernel.see if that works

Be glad to but it isn't an option in the recovery?
My options are as follows...
Reboot system now
Apply update from SD
Wipe/reset
Wipe/cache
been in similar, if not same situation, things were missing from cwm recovery, like you wrote...if memory serves me fine,
flash stock fw with pit, repartition and everything...
then some rootec kernel with recovery...
Oh sh!t... just flashed the pit file here... http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-with-odin/#download-a-pit-file-for-the-i9100
and odin said success... and screen went black.
Not responding at all now :-(
let's go in a safe way...as long as you have download mode, you're OK.
Go to samfirmware or somewhere on XDA and find FULL STOCK FIRMWARE with proper .pit file and flash it with odin. Not kernel, not anything that is not full rom.
since you state that you are not noob, you know what from there.

What on earth are you doing?
It clearly states:
I9000 & I897 owners (not I91000!!!) may also need a PIT file (also included in RE ROM ZIP files). I will explain further what it's for.
Why didn't you follow a tutorial on xda? Can you boot in download mode?

In order to run a 4.4 rom you need to flash the NC2 kernel via Odin. The files and instructions can be found here. Just substitute the Hyperdrive rom or whatever 4.4 based rom you've chosen in the corresponding steps in the instructions. Also you only need to do this once unless you reset the device via Odin, the kernel will stick so flashing a different rom won't be as complicated.
Also it is recommended to use only the Stock slot in Safestrap because of battery/data drain issues. Just make sure to wipe before installing so everything installs correctly.

Just follow the steps I sent you in the pm. No need to use the stock deodex rom.
Most custom roms will be deodex, all this means is that an app is one part. Normal an odex rom an app will be two parts, and located in two separate locations in memory, it helps which load times under certain demands but hinders customization.
As for the stock slot it is okay to wipe, and if you made a backup you can wipe and restore it. If you didn't make a backup you can always download a stock rom. Just try to think of your original stock rom is exactly that, A Rom, nothing more nothing less.

If you've lost Safestrap you will need to reset your device via Odin and start over. Pulling the battery will get you oit of the bootloop, then boot into download mode (volume down + home + power button).
On your computer you need to open Odin and then connect your phone to your computer. Load the stock tar file found here in the AP slot. Give Odin a couple minutes to load the process and once the Start button is available click it and let Odin run. It will restart your device when it is finished. Just a heads up, if you are currently on NC4 you must use that firmware you can not go backwards.
From this point you will need to reroot, install busybox and Safestrap again. From there follow the instructions found here to get on the NC2 kernel.
If you followed all these steps correctly you can now flash any 4.4 based rom for the retail Note 3.
it works!

Quick question - - can I just flash the NE9 modem in TWRP just after flashing extreme syndicate room and before reboot? Or do I have to use ODIN?
If I have to use ODIN what are the steps?
Thanks.

The NE9 modem files that I have seen (present and past modem files) cannot be flashed via a custom recovery, they must be installed using ODIN.
Put you phone in download mode (volume down + power)(make sure you have Samsung drivers installed on PC), start ODIN on PC, connect phone to PC, wait for ODIN to recognize phone, select the modem tar file that is located on your PC, use PDA and press start. Wait until you get a GREEN PASS before disconnecting your phone. Reboot.
Thanks for the reply.... But, do I flash the rom first and reboot, then reboot into download mode and go into ODIN and flash NE9 modem? The rom 'extreme syndicate' is NE9.

No problem. If you're looking for a lean, fast, smooth ROM then you'll love that ROM. I've been running it since it was first release (under a different name) and haven't found a good reason to run anything else.
Yeah the rom is terrific. I was running the earlier version also. BTW do u know what KLTE is? I was looking at the unified s5 section and the AOSP roms and wondering if the VZ Developer version is KLTE? Thanks again

I'm not positive what KLTE means in terms of our Dev S5s. I see the term used a lot in threads talking about unified ROMs, but I don't know exactly what phones it applies to.
EDIT: I have successfully installed the Alliance ROM. Here's how i did it.
Prerequisites:
Your phone at at least 50% battery
A charge cable
MicroSD card that you can plug into your computer
Odin 3.09
SafeStrap, version 3.75 APK on your MicroSD card
Alliance ROM on your MicroSD card
NCG tar.md5 (the big file, not the kernel)
I started off on a rooted 5.0 VZW Galaxy S5. After some confusion, I downgraded to NCG (4.4.2) using Odin. After doing that, I went to Towelroot, got the APK, rooted, downloaded SuperSU from the play store (I had to sign into google at this point), installed it's binaries (NORMALLY! Don't choose the TWRP method), rebooted when it asked me to. From there, I installed BusyBox from the play store and installed it within the app. Then I installed Safestrap (version 3.75), which I had on my MicroSD card. I used the app My Files to navigate to my MicroSD and installed the APK. Then I installed it within the app, and when the "reboot to recovery" button worked, I rebooted into SafeStrap recovery mode. At this point, the Alliance ROM zip file should ALREADY BE ON YOUR MICROSD CARD, WHICH SHOULD BE IN YOUR PHONE. Now, you're going to press the INSTALL button to the top right in Safestrap recovery, and you're going to navigate to your MicroSD card. It might be already opened to that. Then you're gonna select the Alliance ROM and flash it. After it successfully flashes, reboot into download mode (if for some reason you aren't able to do it immediately, you get into download mode by holding volume down, home button, and power button at the same time). Now, using Odin, you're gonna flash the firmware that the instructions in the Alliance thread tells you to (here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver.../rom-alliancerom-build-3-rom-control-t2818632). If everything works, it's gonna take a couple of minutes, optimize apps, and boot.
Huge thanks to Beans and his team for creating the Alliance mod, and huge thanks to Tulsadiver for helping me get through the process during my confusion.
Original thread below
Hi. I'll cut to the chase. I was an idiot and thought I could just flash the Alliance ROM from my SD card, but my phone is currently a factory restored 5.0. So, after unsuccessfully flashing Alliance ROM, I thought, well, I probably need to be on 4.4.2 to do this. So, what I'm wondering is, do I need to go back down to 4.4.2 to install Alliance ROM? And do I need Safestrap recovery to do it, or can I do it from stock recovery (home button+volUp+Power)? I did a lot of digging in the Alliance ROM post and there were no posts regarding my problem/question, probably because they're all experienced and I'm not (this is my first time trying to flash a custom ROM).
It SOUNDS like I need to flash a full stock tar using Odin, is that correct? Once I do that, I would be on stock wiped 4.4.2, I assume. From there, could I flash the Alliance ROM and continue with the instructions? Or do I need to root first and get safestrap and all that crap? I feel like Beans was really vague with his instructions on installing ROMs, but whatever. Please help though, I'm kind of stuck in the middle of this with a softbricked phone.
Thank you so much in advance, I appreciate it.
~isra
EDIT: Also, I was on ROOTED 5.0 Lollipop just before this. I just got so sick of lollipop, I was ready for something different. So here we are. To confirm, my phone is the standard retail SM-G900VZW model.
EDIT2: Apparently App Ops and SuperSU survived the wipe and, after downloading Root Checker, I can confirm that I'm still rooted... Huh.

Download busybox from play store. Install it. Install safestrap. Once recovery is installed, go into recovery, install alliance, from within safestrap, boot into download mode and flash the full firmware Odin tar.

Wait, so I don't need to downgrade my phone? Keep in mind I'm on stock rooted 5.0, which just got factory reset so I got nothing except for the root. Also, what full firmware odin tar are you referring to? NE9? This one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112652201

Ok, so I don't need to downgrade to install the ROM. Got it. Thank you. Is there anything else I should know?
Not that I know of. ROM installations are different so always refer to their installation instructions. Some will say to flash the firmware first. The op knows best. Alliance NE9 says to do a full wipe (everything but SD card). Install the ROM, reboot to download mode ( don't hit reboot system). Once in download mode, flash the firmware tar and let your phone reboot.

So, I installed Safestrap and did all that, but when I press the reboot into recovery button, it just reboots the phone normally. It doesn't go into safestrap recovery. Am I supposed to hold some buttons or something?
Did safestrap ask for SuperSU permissions? Did you install busy box? You can't just download the app.

Yes, I've installed BusyBox and given SS root permissions. I installed the APK 3.75 Safestrap that I used to get into SS recovery when I was getting to rooted 5.0 a while back, so I know that the APK isn't corrupt or anything like that.
I forgot. You are on lollipop. You need to flash the NE9 kernel first ( via Odin). You already have safestrap but it doesn't work on lollipop. After you flash the NE9 kernel you will have the option to boot into recovery. Have alliance on your SD card ready to install.

It booted into stock recovery mode after odin successfully flashed NE9. Now do I install the ROM from stock recovery, or do I boot the phone and get to Safestrap to install the ROM from Safestrap recovery? I am currently in recovery mode.
You must not have had safestrap on your phone after all. Can you get back to download mode? You probably need to flash your lollipop kernel to get back to lollipop.

I definitely had safestrap. Though, here's something: Everyone talks about a menu that pops up during boot that allows you to enter either safestrap recovery, or boot, and I've never had/seen that menu, even when I was rooting 5.0. Yes, my BusyBox worked and was properly installed, and yes, I had Safestrap recovery installed.
I just tried rebooting and it after sitting at the first screen for a while, it rebooted quickly and went back into recovery mode. What if I try installing Alliance from recovery mode? Will it work?

I've never been on stock recovery before. I think it has to be a custom recovery. You might need to pull your battery and let it set for a bit and see if you can get into download mode.

I can get into download mode perfectly fine. I'm going to kernel back to 5.0 then...
But what do I do now? Should I downgrade to 4.4.2 with the stock firmware once I successfully boot 5.0?
EDIT: Yup, booted 5.0 perfectly fine. Now what? Downgrade to 4.4.2 and flash the NE9 Kernel?

Hello,
I have a SM-A700FD. Some time ago I installed a ROM from xda (https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-t3462703) The ROM ported from c7.
Now I am trying to go back to the stock ROM, but I just can not flash any rom.
Some reasons:
1. The PC doesn't recognize the phone (neither download mode, neither recovery, neither with a ROM). I tried in 4 different PCs;
2. I've got the recovery TWRP. I can flash the ROM, but the phone is stock in the boot screen.
3. Without the connection between the phone and the PC I just cant use the ODIN. Then I cannot flash again the stock ROM.
4. I had success flashing the CM 12.1 (UNNOFICIAL, but the ROM is old and full of bugs). Neither the resurrection rom, neither stock works on my phone.
5. The phone goes to download mode and recovery mode. My custom recovery is a TWRP 3.0.2-0.
Then I tried many ROMS (AOSP and stock, flashing by recovery) and all of them stops on boot logo.
Anyone got any suggestion?
Thanks.
Regards.

You need to wipe your data partition. AOSP/CM based roms and stock roms do not have compatible DATA partitions.
The rom I installed wasnt aosp. Made the wipe already... Nothing changes.

If you don't have a hardware problem then the procedure below should restore the device to a bootable state.
Wipe data
Install stock with odin
Wait at least 10 mins for boot to complete.
Well. Tried but, as I said, my pc (tried in até least 4 different PCs) doesnt recognize my cellphone.
Thats not hardware. It appeared just when I tried tô change the rom.
Srry.

1- Load the following Samsung USB drivers for Windows:
http://samsungusbdriver.com/download/samsung-driver-v1-5-61-0
2- Install the drivers while you mobile is disconnected.
3- Put your mobile into download mode. (Vol Down + Power)
4- Run Odin and then connect your mobile after (It has to be recognized by assigning you a port number COMx in Odin under ID:COM).
5- Make sure that only F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are checked under the ODIN Options tab (IMPORTANT: NOTHING ELSE IS CHECKED)
6- Select you Stock ROM in the AP tab of Odin and as soon as it is loaded hit Start.
7- The phone will restart and wait for few minutes till the Stock ROM builds its caches, optimizes its apps and start.
Hope this helps you restore your stock ROM and tell me how it went

Hi.
I made the procedure you said. First of all, Thanks.
The odin doesn't recognize the Phone.
The rom I installed in the first moment was Port from c7. I got that messages "warranty bit kernel" "Keynes is not seandroid".
Maybe something went wrong in that place.

Ok then it seems you have a bootloader problem. I suggest you unzip your A700FD stock ROM tar.md5 file by deleting the md5 extension (Rename SM-A700FD-ROM.tar.md5 to SM-FD700-ROM.tar), then unzip the ROM.tar file using WinRAR or 7Zip. Now you will have all the ROM partitions files including boot.img and system.img files as well as others. I suggest you place both files on your external SD Card via the PC (using a card reader) and then flash both from within TWRP (You can change in TWRP to flash img files instead of zip files) while formatting the data and cache partitions and reboot.
I believe that way you can restore the boot.img and system.img partitions, correct any corruption in the boot and system partitions and can flash the whole ROM again using ODIN or flash any other custom ROM (non ported) as soon as your mobile gets recognized by your PC.
Let me know how it went.. Good luck
Thanks a lot. I did not think in that way. I'll try and then ill post here if that worked. Thanks a lot.
