Did he flash GB bootloaders as mentioned in instructions?
If he has ROM running I see no reason why he cant enter recovery mode. Tell him to try entering recovery mode using button combo
Not sure about bootloaders. His phone is working he just cant get to rec.mode?? The 3 button method does not work either. Is there a way to do a hard reset?

Any fix well require odin since recovery is unavailable.
He can either flash back to stock, or download bootlloaders and upgrade those. either way, odin.

I am running serendipity 6.3 I updated my rom manager premium. I hit flash cloworkmod recovery then I hit reboot in to recover. This brings me to the 3e recover screen. Then I can't reinstall packages because my power button is not working and it says verification error so I have to pull my battery then I use the 3 button fix to get me to recover mode again but this time I am in 2e recovery and everything goes good.

So you shouldnt use ROM Manager to install Cognition 4.3 since it uses Cog Kernel? You should just manually boot into recovery and do it that way?

You shouldn't use rom manager for anything anymore other than to get the update.zip on your phone. Once you have the new recovery then just keep that on your phone and you just boot into recovery without rom manager.

+1 and if you keep the update.zip decide to flash to stock for any reason you won't have to root to flash a rom anymore

Do you have to clear data and cache before installing? I remember bootlooping old phones because of that.

no need to wipe says instructions. i didnt and ive flashed both w/ no problems. also, u need to be on 890 for it to work
Calendar seems to be missing...can anyone confirm this, and how do we get this back?
Waited over an hour. I was on 890.. not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I had a faulty 890? Say it didn't flash 890 and I was on stock, where would that put me? Phone is still bootlooping.. when it first turns on, shows motorola symbol with dual core, is on for a few seconds then flashes back to black, you know like before the boot ani. The pulls up same screen.. any way to get back to stock?
Btw- thank you for responding so quickly.

Are you using hashcodes recovery or koush's?
If you're using hashcodes just restore a nandroid by booting into bp tools.
If you're using koush's then you're probably gonna have to rsd flash the xml. You could probably moto-fastboot just the system partition and be fine

Yeah sounds like your /system is pretty botched up. If you just usd rsd lite and flash the xml/sbf and then re-root then install either recovery(I recommend koush's going forward cause of roms) koush's will restore nandroid backups made on hashcodes recovery.
*if your nandroid is on your internal memory you're gonna have to copy it over to your actually sdcard.
Hopefully you made a nandroid haha

Power down. Press the 'm' button on the keyboard. While keeping it pressed it, power the phone up. You'll get a menu wiith bptools and ap fastboot, etc. Volume down navigates, volume up selescts. Go to ap fastboot. Then plug your d3 into your computer and let the drivers instal automatically, then click show devices in rsd and it should be there

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716895
So basically here is what I did, I flashed this ROM right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953847
And now CWM will not let me flash any other ROM, trying to flash anything else just fails and it stays on the current ROM. I can re-flash the current ROM and I have done multiple times, but I am unable to remove it, even with a full wipe and formatting /system which is really weird. It's practically irremovable. I posted a thread about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962219
Without much luck because I'm a bit of a noob and I didn't quite understand what they were talking about.
The first time I flashed a custom ROM was using this tutorial right here:
http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...cs-cyanogenmod-9-cm9-official-nightly-107611/
I used Heimdall Suite to flash the custom kernel which allowed me to then flash CM9, (it's only after CM9 that I went to this Jelly Bean ROM and since then I have been unable to go to any other ROM)
So my question is, would I be able to just re-do this tutorial without fear of damaging the device and hopefully rescue it and flash a different ROM? (I'm wanting to flash BlackCNA)
Thanks
shameless self bump
Firstly, get rid of Heimdall unless you're on a mac? Search this forum for pc odin, make sure you've got Kies installed correctly. Go into download mode on the phone, Vol down, home and power held down until reboots into download mode. Connect to pc on mobo usb ports with original data cable, you should get a connection in pc odin, then flash any gb rom initially just to see if it completes and if not, post back with the error.

Bricking is always a possibility, but pc odin is by far the safest method to flash. The possibility is very small that you'll run into any problems at all so long as you follow instructions and don't take shortcuts.

If you're going for ics, make sure you flash a safe kernel such as Hydracore or philz or you run the risk of a superbrick.

I was with the stock ics 4.0.4 rom and put the cyanogenmod 9.1. But after I did the flash is no longer going into recovery mode and download mode. When I try to get into some of these modes, the phone starts right in CM9.
Now I'm thinking of changing the kernel with Mobile Odin Pro to try to solve this problem, and re-appear the recovery so I can install another rom. Or I try to install the stock rom 4.1.2 direct by MOP.
However, I do not know if this procedure is safe, because I am with cyanogenmod 9.1, and I'm afraid of doing something wrong, and you can not turn over the device. Do you think this procedure safe? Is there any other way to solve this?
Sorry for the english
1> why does the title say that?
2> how are you trying to get into recovery?
3> is the cm9 working fine?
if cm rom is booting fine, enable the USB debugging options from developer options and connect the phone to PC.. make sure you have adb drivers.. use "adb reboot recovery" to boot into recovery and check what happens

because I thought that only with mobile odin pro would I get change rom.
I tried to get into recovery by pressing up + menu + power to turn.
The CM9 is very slow and giving errors every once in a while it is restarting on its own. Previously I had CM9, and it was very stable and fast, but now is different, do not know why.
What are adb drivers? With them I'll get into the recovery mode and change rom?
With adb commands, you could try to get into recovery. Just search for it. If that doesn't work, you can use mobile odin to flash the stock rom.

not work with adb! I'll use the mop to install the stock rom.
Can I install the stock 4.1.2?
Remember that I'm with cyanogenmod 9.1! I'm afraid to give something wrong. This procedure is 100% safe?
You can use odin to install the new rom. Just make sure to check the option of wipe data. Even rooting and flashing is not 100% safe but doing it the right way will reduce the risk.
Mobile odin flashes using its own kernel while flashing which is safe so it safer too.

I did the procedure and installed the stock 4.1.2 rom, it starts, and the logo appears galaxy note (without the yellow triangle) and the Samsung logo appears, with that little song, but then it shuts down. what can be? at and what to do to fix it?
Edit: I fixed it! I went into recovery mode and did factory reset and wipe cache, and it worked! Many thanks for the help
