you don't have to buy antoher phone, it's just the software not hardware
do you backup first before applying the theme(at least titanium backup)? you can flash from smartflash with these stock roms

now after smartflash done you can
1. setting your phone like language, location, dll
2. restore your backup(if you use titanium backup) if not then you must do install again your
apps or at least you already save your apk using appsaver
there is the tutorial how to flash using smartflash

I suspect your initial problem was that you didn't wipe the phone before installing the MoDaCo ROM.

Before I install a new rom or restore a backup - I always make an (I call it) extended Fullwipe. So I can be sure that the system is fully clean.
Here is the way how to do it:
Go to CWM recovery and run the following steps
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
->advanced
wipe Dalvik Cache
wipe Battery Stats
<- Go Back
->mounts and storage
format /cache
format /data
format /system
<- GoBack​
After that you can choose "Install zip from sd" or "Backup/Restore"

i done all that stuff and when i try to install the stock rom, it says
Finding update packaage...
opening update package...

and after a matter of seconds
Installation aborted...

Ohh...that's a pitty!
Which stock rom package do you want to install and which version of CWM do you use?
Have you tried to install the stockrom with the smartflash-tool?

[solved] Soft brick, tablet resets during recovery activities

I have the wifi only 7310 model of the 8.9
Overcme CwM Recovery 5.1.2.6
ROM was Galaxian Soup AOSP 1.6
My tablet resets during recovery. Half through a data wipe ROM install ROM backup or ROM restore it will reset and reboot.
It first happened when i booted into recovery and triedROM issue. to make a back up of m y current ROM and attempt to flash the aokp one. It reset during the backup process.
It shouldn't be a ROM issue. My tablet did this once before, it would reset when i did anything involvng dataon an Overcome ROM i think. Data wipe/backup etc. I left it alone while the ROM still worked and tried again a week later with no issues.
Any ideas? Now i have a soft brick that cant boot past the Samsung Screen. I can get into recovery and download modes.
EDIT* added a video
EDIT2:
The issue was solved.
What ended up happening what i attempted to flash back to stock software, ODIN would stall during the system.img. From this point i thought it was done, but i could still get into the stock recovery, i used the stock recovery to wipe the data after several failed attempts in a similar manner to this video.
One day it just worked. I could finally wipe data and cache without a reset. But i could't flash a file because ODIN would still freeze on the system.img. It was suwandiapr who showed me his walkthrough to push an file to recovery from adb. Thank you so much
I do NOT know why it my tablet/recovery starting resetting when i wanted to do a data/cache wipe/restore or why it decided to start doing it again. I tried the 5.5 cwm, the overcome 5.1 and the stock and none of them worked. Today i tried it on an off chance of boredom and it started working again. It is a confusing situation but that is what happened.
Again that you so much to Mr.Home and especially suwandiapr for all your help

> If you had a back up you can do advanced restore of just your system partition to get you tablet back on, though you will probably still have problem with the recovery
> If not, download the stock firmware tar.
Boot up to download mode using the power + vol combo.
flash the stock tar through odin.
boot up to download mode again.
this time flash the cwm recovery.
boot up to recovery mode.
wipe dalvikcache and data.
install aokp and gapps.
if it fails (cwm recovery stuck and reboots by itself during wiping /data partition or dalvik cache)
,chances are your data partition had been corrupted.
You can try fixing this by reflashing the stock firmware tar through odin again
just this time you need to have re-partition ticked.
and repeat above steps.
Take note that this will format the content your sd card too apart from the /data partition
EDIT: Please post this on the general section next time

Download Odin 1.85
Install Samsung USB drivers (should come with Kies)
Download stock firmware from samfirmware
Check the box beside PDA
Put the .md5 file into the PDA slot
Leave all other options on defaults
Put tablet into Download Mode (power and vol -, select the one that isn't recovery)
Connect it to your PC
Press START in Odin
Wait ~10 minutes
NOTE: this shouldn't wipe the internal sdcard. if you need to wipe that, select repartition and give Odin a PIT FOR THE P7310/7300 MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT ONE OR YOU WILL BRICK BADLY.

Moved To General​
I understand this might be a development related question, but questions do not belong here.​

im still bricked so if ANYONE has any ideas please let me know.

Do you have a backup of yours in computer? If yes.. Push your file to device with adb...
Or replace with cwm 5.5.0.4.. ( if you not familiar with odin)
From cwm recovery 5.1.2.6 mount your /data and /system..
After that push your file (cwm 5.5.0.4. Zip and your backup file) to sdcard trough adb
Install cwm 5.5.0.4 from your recovery..then reboot..
Before you install your backup file.. Try to wipe and reboot your phone.. If problem still exist.. Your assumption about ROM may right.. But if your booting problem disappear.. I think its because yor recovery..

I never try it before.. how about stock recovery? It will wipe your data partition include SD card..But it worth to try if you dont like ODIN..
here is the zip version..Instal from recovery..
Edit: Do with your own risk..

After looking at the video, I noticed something similar that had happened to me before.
It happened when I tried to wipe the "cache" first, instead of wiping only the "dalvik cache".
After that, whenever i tried to wipe the dalvik cache/reset factory data,
the recovery reboots by itself halfway through.

Check the thread in my signature on the ODIN How-To, Drivers (no Kies/Bloat needed for drivers) and more. If I were you I'd ODIN so the Stock Recovery is restored in place. Looks like something went wrong in your CWM Recovery's installation (could be a bad download you had, it happens). All the files you need (except for the ODIN image) are in my General Guide.

Well, i just don't wipe cache. Only the dalvikcache and all went well..

I have a soft brick, no memory or sd card data. I can get into recovery but i don't have any files on the tablet to flash.

Are you windows user? if yes..
Just like my answer from previous post.. See page one!
Mount your /system and /data partition from recovery menu..(from cwm)
From your computer.. Use this tools for pushing the file flashable.zip to device..
After that you can flash a new rom from recovery..

[Q] about rocket rom v7

hi
i am coming from RocketROM v3 ICS and i installed RocketROM v7 ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838
i did :
- boot in Recovery
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik only
- Flash ROM
- reboot system
but its still V3
what should i do?

After flashing the ROM, do another cache wipe ( or a factory reset if you're on a safe kernel ).
If it still shows V3 after you've done it - then it's probably rom glitch.

Perhaps you had a bad flash/download, try a new download and re-flash

It sounds like you are not fully rooted. With your existing setup, use Root Explorer to try to copy a small file into \system.
If this fails, and I think it might, you have lost root.
Use Odin to load a stock ROM and then re-root.
Check Rocket ROM thread for lots of similar cases.

i installed rocketrom v7. not i cant download any file bigger than 7mb through my mobile data network.. i am on vodafone australia. downloading on wifi is gud. it was working fine on darkyrom..any suggestion plz.

Please try to understand what I am saying! If you cannot copy a file into /system YOU ARE NOT ROOTED!
Please consult the MANY entries in the Rocket ROM thread about what to do - or just believe me when I say use ODIN to load a stock ROM and then re-root.

OK. It's clear that you are not fully rooted. Download and flash this ZIP version of SU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1128883&stc=1&d=1339657219
If this does not fix the problem, use Odin to flash a Stock ROM (NOT a custom one and NOT a Custom kernel) and then re-root as you did originally and install ROM of your choice.

I have faced similar kind of issues...but dere is no problem with the rom itself.....here is wat i did to fix it...
Wipe Cache nd Dalvik Cache....Flash The the zip given in the above post...Reboot into recovery....Flash jBroid kernel cleaning script....then again wipe cache and dalvik....flash Franco Kernel V6....wipe cache and dalvik and reboot into recovery not from "advanced" but through the key combination....Now do a full wipe...(data,cache,dalvik) and after dat flash the Rom.zip nd reboot....Now you should have a V7 in system about...if u again lose root just once again flash dat SU zip without any sort of wipe....(press the THANKS button if helped)

[Q] Galaxy S Plus black screen, CWMrecovery says "can't mount...

I'm a noob I know and yes I watched the noob-video. But I need help! Cuz I'm too dump! So please help me
I wanted to update my Galaxy S Plus to the newest CM 10 (Beta 4) (before it was the Beta 3) over the CWM recovery it suddenly says
"symlinks failed"
"error in /sdcard/cm-10-20130324-invendor-beta4-ariesve.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"installation aborted"
so I looked to the CWM recovery and I saw that I don't have the latest version....okay I downloaded the latest one and installed it over the CWM recovery. The same error .... with friends. Now I got when I went into the CWM recovery: (after I tried to wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache)
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"
I tried to restart the phone...black-screen after the samsung cyanogen mod screen.
Okay
So I tried to flash a older firmware "I9001XXKQ7_I9001DBTKP2_I9001XXKPK_HOME.tar.md5" with Odin. I restarted the phone...nope black screen. I installed the newest CWM recovery again and tried to flash again the CM 10. Black-screen. So I tried the old version of the CM which I had before (Beta 3) -> black-screen and still errors in the recovery mode.
I can still go into the download mode and the recovery mode. The charging symbol is not working when i connect it (just the battery but bot moving)
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Provider: Vodafone IT
ROM: CM 10 (Beta 3) installed but not working
Kernel: Phenom 3.2 UV (updated after the symlinks failed error)
I hope some genius out there can help me
And sorry for my bad english...I don't use it often (Italy)

If that helps you in any way let me know.

I did this already... I flashed it with the newest stock-FW but it doesn't do anything...and the stock-recovery can't make a factory reset. It always freezes....

other things that could be worth a try:
try flashing different recoveries - not only feamod... also cwm,...
for me cwm5.5.0.4 works
look: our wiki-page -> un-brick
if all doesnt help you could try to reset all partitions

I tried already a few recoveries...like the CWM or the TeamWin... How can I reset them? Can you give me a link please? ^^

Flash BroodROM RC 5... flash this multiple times without touching any buttons like repartion etc..
After that, wipe system and data via the recovery provided in the ROM.
Then flash the newest stock FW from samsung..
This solved all my issues multiple times xD

thanks for the reply, but my phone is now finally brocked....it doesn't even start....and I don't have any idea what i can do now...

Phone doesn't boot, just samsung logo

Hello, I have an s3 mini I8190N model, with CM 11.0 kitkat 4.4.4(cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108) installed on it since nearly its release, the phone worked very fine, till today I entered the ROM manager app and pushed the "Boot to Recovery" button, so now it doesn't boot neither to the system nor to the recovery. I remember having CWM on it.
What I get now is only the "Samsung S3 mini..." splash screen, nothing else.
I have these files ready on my computer:
Recovery-CWM-I8190-Official-TOUCH-6.0.2.7.ODIN.zip
cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108.zip
What should I do now ??

You probably soft bricked your phone, I suggest you to check if you still can go into download mode and flash with Odin a wipe file and then a stock rom, once it is working again flash twrp recovery instead of cwm with Odin and try not to use rom manager, I've heard it causes the brick you have.

Not if you flash the wipe file, you can try flashing the stock rom without the wipe but It's recommended to do a clean install. Another option is to flash a file called PARAM to see if it solves the bootloop. But the way I fixed a softbrick in my phone was flashing param, wipe and stock rom in that order with Odin.
Are you able to go into recovery?

Not if you flash the wipe file, you can try flashing the stock rom without the wipe but It's recommended to do a clean install. Another option is to flash a file called PARAM to see if it solves the bootloop. But the way I fixed a softbrick in my phone was flashing param, wipe and stock rom in that order with Odin.
Are you able to go into recovery?

I will install TWRP through Odin v3 on the phone, then I'll flash without wiping data, then I'll recover necessary data(especially contacts) and then redo a clean install with wiping all the rubbish files.
I will tell you after I follow these steps on whether it was successful or not.
Thank you very much!

No problem, flash the custom recovery after the stock rom though.

Effectively, I installed the missing recovery software (TWRP), and after that I selected from the boot menu in TWRP the "System" entry, then it booted fine and I didn't lose any of my data. Though I have to make a clean flash next time, by cleaning the dalvik cache... etc.
Thank you for your support!
