Can't install which zip? Did you install a CWM update.zip first? Did you try installing a different ROM or at least verify that the one you are trying to install is good?

[Q]A problem in flashing mini(stuck at samsung screen)

I rooted my mini and then reverted back to factory settings(froyo).
Then,
using odin, with TASS_v1.0.ops and tass-recovery-cwm.tar I flashed Clockworkmod.
Using CWM, as said in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167750, I installed update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed-09102011.zip. I wiped data and cache before and after. But still after reboot, My screen is stuck at samsung splash.
possible mistake:- using tass-recovery-cwm.tar on froyo as said in a forum. There, CWM-Froyo.tar was used for flash which I repeated to no vail.
Device is Indian.
I want to have a Cyanogenmod 7 ROM
edit:- Now, if I use tass-recovery-cwm.tar while flashing with odin, I nomore get a recovery screen
Since I couldn't do anything, I just rolled back over to GB again.
To get cmw working you need to have GB. After you can successfully install cm 7 following the guide

My changing to fyro was accidental.

Galaxy stuck on Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen

Hello All,
I recently upgraded my GT-I9000 to CWM10 JellyBean 4.1.2 a week ago and all was fine until last night when I was trying to follow one of the youtube videos to increase the internal memory on my phone. I tried it on my phone and for some reason my phone was stuck in the CWM recovery mode. When I rebooted, the phone was going back into recovery mode. I was panicking and in that rush, I tried doing a reset, clear data, clear cache, dalvik and all other stuff on the recovery mode menu. When nothing worked, I tried re-flashing the JB 4.1.2 from recovery mode. This flashing was erroring after 30% and was returning into recovery mode again. I also tried to use odin to flash the Android 2.3 which didn't work and now it goes into the CWM Recovery v3.0.0.5
Could someone please let me know how to get my phone back to work.
I would be really thankful to you all.
Thanks
First of all you have posted in the wrong section. This is only for development.
To get back the recovery, flash http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufe....1_Jelly_Helly_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20121101.tar in Odin from computer and then flash the Hellybean zip again from the phone.
That is what you should do.
PS: Download the Hellybean zip again. The one that you have now might be corrupted. You need to go into Download mode with 3 Button Combo to use Odin.

Apologies for posting in the wrong section. Could the mod's please move this thread to the correct section please.
Thanks Trak-X the first half of your adivse worked for me (the ODIN bit) and I am now able to get into CWM recovery. I tried reflashing the Hellybean zip but it kept erroring at 10%. Error message is shown below
Installing HellyBean
GSM instllation
assert failed: run_program("/tmp/udater.sh")==0
I also downloaded a new Hellybean zip and tried reflashing with no luck and same error message. Pls advise on how I can go further now. I have a 2.3.6 rom downloaded, shall I flash this first to see if it works and if it does, I can flash Hellybean later.
Fixed!!!

I installed the google apps file and for some reason the phone booted properly this time. Don't know how gapps installation fixed this issue.
I hope someone can help me.
I cannot enter in recovery. Just in Download mode. But my PC doesn't recognise my phone so I can't flash in Odin.
Don't know what to do!?

[Q] HELP - Softbrick Galaxy Tab 8.9 Telstra p7320

Hi guys, having some serious issues with my Tab. It's the Telstra GT-P7320T.
So I had it rooted and flashed with the glitkis kernel all working fine still on the standard Telstra version of honeycomb. Then when their update for ICS finally came out (after nearly 6 months of knocking it back) I went to update it in the normal manner, not thinking it would have a hissy fit with the root and the custom kernel.
So after it downloaded it did its pre install bit, it rebooted, but then loaded into CWM recovery, and thats where its stayed. I've tried factory resets, clearing and formatting all the caches (davlik, system etc) i've used adb to push a few different roms and kernels etc to the device but nothing ive tried has worked. I flashed arlics ics rom, but it still just boots into recovery. Ive tried flashing the stock kernel and stock recovery but when i try to install zip from sd them they fail "install aborted (bad)"
Anyone got any ideas on what process and files I should try? Ive searched up and down the forum trying different methods for fixing soft brick and returning to stock but to no avail.
Cheers

hey mate,
i was just caught out by this last night. all you need to do is re-flash on a stock rom with ether oden of heimdall and youre good to go. im sure there is a oden flashable rom on these forums
take it sleazy!
Cheers mate,
Ive been trying to reflash a stock rom by pushing it to the sd card and installing it, but when i go to install it from recovery it tells me the rom file is bad and aborts, like its corrupt or something, so maybe i need to find some different downloads to try. Thanks, there's hope still at least, lol. I'll find the odin file and try doing it that way.

yeah, i think its becaute the cwm recovery doesnt know what to do with the update.
you need to have the stock recovery installed. dont take my word for it though.
just look up a tutorial for flashing a rom via oden. its really easy, just make sure the image you are flashing is of .tar.md5 extension.
You can get the stock rom at sammobile.com. down load the zip file then extract the .tar.md5 file out of it using 7-zip.
God promised men that he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round
FIXED!! - Cheers Everyone!
OK, so I downloaded the stock telstra rom off the forum here, its at the top of page 3 at present, flashed that with Oden, which fixed the soft brick and allowed me to boot again. I then flashed the stock recovery, rebooted, got into the system and downloaded the ICS update again. Once it rebooted, with the stock recovery it was able to install and successfully boot into ICS!! I was more stoked than I've ever been before, let me tell you, lol.
how ?

Mhhm,
Did you install using Odin or via CWM?
Try installing another ROM with CWM.
If that doesn't work, try to install Stock ROM back.

Stock ROMs from Samsung can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Search for your device in the search bar.
Type: ''GT-I8190N''.
Download the right ROM. (Your country and eventually your provider).
Download and install Odin 3.07 (if you hadn't already).
Download and install Samsung Drivers for mobile phone. (If you hadn't already).
How to flash:
1) Go into recovery mode and perform a factory reset.
2) Open Odin Downloader.
3) Turn system off and go into Download mode.
4) Connect device to PC using USB cable.
5) Odin should recognize your phone now, if not: Check if Samsung Drivers have been installed correctly.
6) Click on PDA and add the file you have just downloaded from sammobile.
7) Make sure ''Auto Reboot'' and ''F. Reset Time'' is enabled.
8) Press start and wait untill the installation is finished.
9) Done.
If you are not familiar with this, ask me for more details and I'll explain more.
