[Q] [q] Boot loop?

Hi,
in preperation for the ICS release coming soon, i thought id flash my gnote back to a stock rom. I am going from RocketRom version 22 (i did have cwm and rooted)
I booted my device into download mode using the jig and using odin 1.85 put the file : into pda
N7000XXLA6_N7000XXLA4_N7000XEULA1_HOME.tar.md5
it says the flash went successfully and upon restart the phone just loops on the samsung galaxy swirly logo.
Is there something im missing?
please help!

sorry for panic, managed to fix by booting into recovery menu and wiping to factory defaults....thanks

Pull out your battery, wait for a bit, put it back in.
Boot into Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and cache wipe. Reboot.
That ought to help.
Edited: wasn't quick enough.

[Q] Flash Custom ROM with Odin?

Hi,
How could i flash Custom ROM with Odin..
Because
1. I am not able to go into recovery mode by holding Volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons
2. I could not reboot into recovery mode using adb commands (stuck at at&t screen)
3. I could not reboot into recovery by flashing any kernel with CWM.. obviously i have to use volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons again :-(
I am able to flash stock ROM through ODIN 1 click downloader (currently on I897UCKI2)..and its the only way i could flash a ROM now..
So is there a way to install custom rom through ODIN ?
Please help...

If you can get into download mode (power off, hold V+/V-, insert USB), you can try flashing a ROM via Heimdall. Apex 12.5 has a package you can flash from Heimdall.
You can also try Mosaic 9, as that has an Odin-based installer package.

Hey,
I'm using samsung galaxy star s5282. I rooted this phone 2 days ago. Everything went good until today when i was i my class it suddenly switched off. When i rebooted it, it hang on the samsung logo.
I tried to boot into cwm recovery mode by pressing v+, home, power but it boots into default system recovery mode.
I again flashed cwm recovery many times using odin but it dosent work. Odin shows pass but when i reboot my phone in cwm recovery mode my phone enters in default system recovery mode.
What should i do please please please help.....

Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
applies to all recoveries
cheers

Surenda 1863,
I had exactly the same problem and it took me almost one week of fiiddling and searching the Web to solve it.
The solution was in front me since day ONE : install ODIN on the PC !
In my case, I had I had accidentally wiped out the stock ROM and the tablet was hopelessly frozen on the download mode. I couldn't turn it off to boot it back with any of the usual buttons ( Volume , Home, Power)
I made the wrong assumption that since my PC didn't see the tablet, it couldn't connect to Odin either . I was wrong!
Here is what you have to do:
1. Install Odin on your PC. Connect the tablet to it. You will see that Odin sees the tablet because there will be a caption saying "added" on the top left.
2. Press the AP tab button at the right to go to the location where your Stock ROM is. The stock ROM file will have an MD5 ending.
3 Once the file is loaded (next to the AP button) just press Start. You will see the DOWNLOAD bar gradually filling up on the tablet and at the top left of ODIN.
4. When the operation is terminated, you will see a caption " PASSED" at the top left of he Odin screen and the tablet will automatically boot up to the HOME screen.
As simple as this! I didn't even have to worry about flashing the TWRP ( or CWR) recovery system, probably because the OS ROM was already wiped out. May be your case is different. I only know that in my case it worked like a charm.

[Q] Flash CWM recovery on GT-19305?

Can it be done? How to do it?

through Odin. make sure it's for the i9305

The most recent CWM ported is in this thread, which also contains a link to Odin. Make sure Kies isn't running and that you have the right USB drivers, open Odin, put your phone in download mode (turn it off, then hold volume down + home while you turn it on again), connect your phone to your PC, and flash the .tar.md5 file as PDA.

1. First, download Odin from this link
Make sure you have the drivers for your phone installed. *If not download KIES from the Samsung site and install*
2. Plug your phone into the computer and start Odin.
3. Shutdown your phone and boot it in to download-mode by pressing Vol. down + home + power
4. Press the PDA-button in Odin and select your CWM-recovery file.
5. Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected.
6. When flashing is done you will se a message "PASS" and your device should restart automatically.
Congratiulations, you now have CWM flashed on your phone
Here's a link to a CWM recovery flashable file if you not have one alreddy. LINK
Creds for the CWM-recovery file upload goes to codeworkx

I have flashed the cwm file through odin. It passed but when I go into recovery it is still the stock recovery and not cwm. Why?

I've gotten the same problem. So.. i flashed the recovery, but whej the phone restarted i shut it down without booting.(i removed the battery when the s3 lte screen showed up). Then i entered recovery and it worked. (S3 lte reflashes stock recovery and other stock things on stock kernel when booting). If you want permanent cwm recovery, flash a custom kernel! I hope this will help you!

[Q] Soft Bricked Mini2?... Help plz

Hi guys, so i got a new Mini2, and... messed with it, pulled a firmware version from a dif zone by mistake... after i had cwm jena and clockworkz working, installed that asian firmware, and never got the phone to work again, tried several stock rom installs (17 and counting, with/without jena firmware download also), it just keeps doing the boot loop, and i can't access the Recovery menu (vol +/- home power buttons at start).
I've been reading all the meaningful threads here, tried doing button combination with battery, without and nothing seems to work.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

go to download mode and don't accept terms (up volume) and quick hold recovery combination when it will start to reboot (ofc when samsung logo will appear don't hold keys). Try few times and it will work, if not 1st then another time. Do factory restet, reboot phone and take off battery. Turn on in download mode and install MD1 XEO stock and do again factory reset using trick from above (go to download mode and don't accept terms (up volume) and quick hold recovery combination when it will start to reboot.)

Worked...
