hi
i did unroot my phone.
did use odin to install cwm, all finished that i want to reboot my phone so i can flash a different rom.
but while pressing "home + power button" the phone freezes after the samsung logo.
the phone is still detectable by odin but no matter what i try or do i can't get it into recover mode.
please help me out.
btw the phone does still function and the download mode also still works
reflash
Your solution is to reflash stock rom. Then you must be rooted in order to have cwm ... :angel:

He's right flash the stock.
But I dont think we need to root the phone to use cwm, you can install it even you arent rooted. But fyi cwm cant be used to root the phone, it must use the stock.

Yeah, possible and good solution would be to flash stock ROM via Odin. And then if you need root, follow StoneBoyTony's method for rooting. (You can find the thread here)
Another option if you like is, after flashing stock ROM, flash CWM recovery and install any Custom ROM like CM7 or MIUI or Emanon etc. Custom ROMs comes pre-rooted, so don't have to worry about root. (But remember, CWM recovery is needed for installing custom ROMs)

True. For using CWM recovery, the phone needn't have to be rooted.
True. CWM recovery can't be used for rooting, stock recovery is preferred.

thx guys for the tips !
just a few questions
1) do i again need an *.ops file while flashing back stock rom thru odin?
2) if i do need the *.ops file can i use the same or does it need to be a different one?
3) what filetype (zip or img) to use for the stock rom and where to put in odin (boot or phone)?
download 1 package firmware put it in the one package section select TASS.ops file .ops file must be tass. connect your phone and flash
a little bit troubleshooting:-
you got stuck at Samsung logo while booting in recovery means you didn't use a proper cwm package or flashing method please check the package
can anyone tell me why cwm cannot be used to root device, it can root device with 100% success and the package also don't need to be signed because of using cwm

this forum is a great something, in my opion there is only one (big) dis-advantage cause it's so big there is a lot of info and also a lot of files downloadable wich doesn't make it easy to choose the wright ones.

You can change it to English, its easy if you followed the icons. I forgot to say it before to have a look at the icons for changing language.
Anyways Click Application icon (Bottom rightmost icon) > Settings (blue Gear-like icon) > Locale & Language (White colored A icon) > Select English from the list.
And, if you plan to get a different "Custom" ROM, make sure you install CWM recovery before. (Search in Development section for CWM recovery flashable via Odin)

Hello! I recently flashed my GT-I9000 with Darkys. I now became more interested in ROMs like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. Could somebody please tell me how to change from custom rom to another? Is it different? How about lagfixes? Do i need to disable something? Step by step guide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you got lagfix enabled? If you have you should disable this first
The ROMs you are referring to have full install instructions. If you wanted to start from a stock ROM you can flash using Odin then start from scratch

You are on 2.2 stock rom right?
(You may skip this if you've already done)
First, root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Then, go to Market with your phone and install ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod trought it
(You can get to Clockworkmod by pressing Volume UP + MENU + Power On when phone is off)
(Start here)
Read this and flash the file in it trough CWM (=Clockworkmod). (install zip from sd-card>choose zip)
Before it do a nandroid backup with Clockworkmod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924
After flashing it, (I suggest you to use the Cyanogenmod ROM, its much better than MIUI IMO) just see this guide and download Cyanogenmod and flash it trough CWM

you cant, you would need to download the original firmware to flash it to stock, you might try one of the backup tool in the market but a full nandroid backup you cant do unless rooted

when I rebooted my note to recovery I get this : Android system recovery <3e>
It looks like CWM but has no backup and restore options and thats why Iam confused
How I can get the CWM I used to use with my HTC Sensation
It looks like you only did root when what you wanted was root + CWM.
Go back to Dr.Ketan's guide and look at the procedure below this line that is in the first post:
-----------------------------------------Forget all Above and follow simple Step below------------------------------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My summary of your best options:
Follow from Step 2 and use the already-rooted.bat file
OR
The better (in my opinion) way:
Purchase Mobile Odin Pro(MOP) from the market and go get the CF Root Kernel that matches your firmware to get CWM. Just put the Kernel on your sdcard and run MOP, make sure EverRoot and all injections are checked, select file, find kernel, flash. Done.
MOP has also enabled us to retain root when flashing stock firmware updates by using the EverRoot and injections options, however you will lose most CWM functions when this is done. To regain CWM, you simply follow the same steps as above to update to a matching CF Root Kernel.
Have fun, and be sure to hit the thanks button for Ketan and Chainfire!
Dear beestee,
So: I have Kernel KK2 - Download This - and Extract
then : I am Already Rooted - Execute "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions
is there any side effects ? like format ot can not Upgrade via OTA or else?
Is there any thing need to be packed up first? like the original kernel if this method will change it
Nothin side effect, you can upgrade over OTA, BUT If you update over OTA/kies, you will lose Root.
So you have to use CWM or Mobile odin to update newer ROM

Ok I done it and it working, but I found that CWM is a program now you can access from phone not like in HTC where you must inter bootloader and MAGLDR to inter CWM
I can make the backup and restore from inside the program - right?
You can get it with entering recovery too, you have to press Home + Vol UP + Power to enter in recovery mode.
you can simply do it with inside app - restart in recovery
when you give command to backup, it will restart and auto enter in recovery mode and finish it

So, let's begin. Follow instructions below to install latest cwm recovery in your galaxy mini handset.
Make sure you have got Gingerbread OS on your galaxy mini : Upgrade to GB if you don't have.
Download Odin Multidownloader v4.38 for GTS5570, Tass_v1.ops and latest Clockwork Mod Recovery if you do not have them already. You can download them from here.
Run Odin Multi downloader v4.38 and select the Tass_v1.ops by clicking OPS button.
Select One Package Option and Click One Package button and select the recovery file name (CWM-5.0.2.8-Touch2-yagya.tar.md5) file you downloaded.
Leave other settings to default (i.e. don’t change any other options/settings)
When you are done reboot your phone in download mode (Press Volume Down + Home + Power button to go to download mode)
Connect your phone in download mode to your computer via USB Cable.
When Odin detects your phone (If you see a com port number written in yellow background at the top left, then your phone is detected. View image.), click Start button.
Wait till Odin finishes the job (approx. 3-5 minutes) and when it reports ‘PASS’, you can disconnect your phone.
That's all. You have flashed latest CWM recovery on your device.

I know it's easy flashing an update directly via CWM recovery. I just posted these since many people asked me to do so.

Because you are using stock rom. You need custom roms like CM7 for this to work properly. You can get one at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com and then try again. It will work nicely.
I got an error:
"cannot open the usb serial port. code: 2"
what should I do? Disconnect the phone or wait?
Thank you all.
You will need to close Samsung Kies if you have it installed otherwise install USB drivers from Samsung and try again.
Thanks for your help yagya.
I have rebooted the PC, reconnected the phone and everything worked out perfectly. Now I have CWM installed and running .
Just one question, if I reflash stock ROM on the device trough Kies, will it get rid of CWM or will I still have it?
hi
i did root my samsung mini and did install "rom manager"successfully.
when i want to make a backup of the orriginal rom it says i have to install "flash clockwordmod" thru rom manager first.

ROM manager is killing our mini's depending on its mood, don't use it. Flash either CWM4.0.0.5 using Odin (harder way) or just flash CWM5 touch recovery by Squadzone in stock recovery (easy way). The last easy solution has the least chance to something go wrong

mmm, this looks like an update, guess i need the correct installable version first.
got a new problem going on.
i did an "update.zip" file put on the sd-card, after realizing it was not a correct file and did delete the zip file.
Now after reboot into (orriginal recovery mode) the "update.zip" is still an option to use while the cwm-update.zip (wich is actually on the sd-card) is not mentioned.
When trying to use the listed update file i get an error saying "file can't be found on the sd-card"
what to do?

Hello. I have found too confusing to find right thread about root for s4a 9295. Most threads about root are mixed with i537, so i think separate thread for 9295 regarding it will be good decision.
Instruction:
1. Install custom recovery via Odin (i use recovery by Mythi, look for the download link in his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752469);
2. Donload Superuser zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3.zip
3. Copy su.zip to sdcard or internal memory;
4. Download in recovery mode;
5. Choose install zip from sd card (if zip on internal memory) or Choose zip from storage/sdcard1 (if zip on external sd card);
6. Install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3.zip;
7. After instaling, choose reboot to system, if recovery ask to fix root rights, choose NO;
8. After boot, start super user app and confirm disabling for Knox;
9. Conglaturations, you are rooted.

Thank you,
Works for me!!!!!

Thanks
Gerardo Mar.
yes it function, thx
I did this also but whit out these instructions... i went to hit yes when rebootting... The phosne is rooted yes, but i can't moun't back up..or flash anything else... does new reboot help???
Okay.. i did everything.. i re-flashed supersu, booted, re-booted and said no to rootfix.. Usb debugging on , and supersu apk setting checked and there is head user allowed..
I tried to make back up again but it did not work.
CWM starts to make back up but on the end it said can´t mount it... if i check my SD card there is back up folder and i think that there is also back up file (size1,95G).
I tried to restore but CWM saids something MD5 file failed...
So i´m rooted but i can´t flash new rom...
Try to reflash via Odin, and then do according to instruction.

Ok i will try that..
Can it be wrong rom what i have tried to flash... supersu flashing was ok, but when i try to flash samsung stock 4.2.2 rom , it does not work...
Do they have different bootloader.
My phone is also encrypted... does it matter?

It does not work... if i flash new rom (4.2,2 stock) using odin , flashing procedure stops and fails.. phone gets stucked and only way to get phone working is to flash KK stock firmware back...
So maybe i'm having some issue with the rom... i can' t find any another working. rom.... so i' m dead end.....

Hi the problem is that your bootloader is locked and it wont let you go back to 4.2.2 because of that... I read on the forum safetrap take a look on it. This may help you

Okay..
I9295 does not have locked bootloader... so i managed to solve my problem..
For some reason i could not to make backup of stock rom so just wiped all and flashed 4.3 slim and configured it and backupped...
I also flashed stock deoxed JB, and now i can get drivelink app to work again.
I also tried to flash safestrap but there was no SS to i9295 so i tried us version SS.
Everything works fine but i could not to make any rom slots.. i did not have enough memory.... but for real there was plenty of memory..
One problem is that every time i try to flash stock jb it soft bricks the phone... kk flash is fine..
Has anyone try to use hemidall???
