When you downloaded the clockwork mode recovery file you should have flashed via Odin v4.38 and not trough stock recovery cos that might end up soft/hard brick your phone try to follow the tutorial from af(android forums) on how to unbrick your phone it might help

Try to follow that tutorial that i've been talking about the one on (andorid forums) (it help'd me allot)although i'm not quite sure that it will help you very much cos that tutorial is for SGM s5570 but try it if it help's i would recommend before flashing clock work mod for your device (via Odin) not trough stock recovery,cos mine got stuck at boot logo the same as you i try'ed to flash cwm trough stock recovery and my device bootloop'ed so try to update your phone with latest version of gingerbread and then start to flash cwm on your device if the unbrick tutorial from af help's

today i wanted to flash my galaxy s to ics.
my galaxy s was already rooted so i put the zip in the root of my phone.
so then i went to recovery mode and installed ics and im sure i followed every step in the tutorial. But when booting it didnt stop booting and it was like that for an hour. so then i tried to flash it back to the firmware i had before.
i tried to flash back to gingerbread with odin but now it cant boot beyond the galaxy s gt-19000 screen.
i tried to go to recovery mode but in recovery mode everywhere its saying
"E: unknown volume for path {/data}
E: unknown volume for path {/data}
E: Unable to process volume! Skipping..."
and so on...

You need to flash a rom stock using ODIN. If I understand correctly you must enable the option to re-partition so be sure to also include the .pit file when you will flash, then proceed to install ICS. It is recommended to remove the SD-EXT before starting to install because it can pass to enter a bootloop.
I have a problem while I am trying to flash CWM. After flashing the phone the recovery gives me this error: E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
I have tried to fix this with odin but odin cant recognize my phone in download mode. I also tried another PC. I have installed the drivers. Windows can detect it when I plug it in but Odin can't. What can i do now? Is there any way to fix it without odin?
if you are trying to flash something in the stock recovery other than custom rom then it will not work
cwm of this device can only flash on ext4 partition
cwm of this device can only flash on ext4 partition
OK but how can I flash cwm with stock recovery? I have to format my sd card to ext4?
you have cwm no need to flash it again just ignore that error and flashing anything other than custom rom till you are using stock

The problem is i havent got CWM I receive this error in stock recovery. And I cant install CWM from odin because odin can't detect it. Is there any way to install cwm from stock recovery?
first open Odin select all the files then boot into download mode after that connect USB it shall now detect the phone

Hi,
so I bricked my galaxy mini after flashing gingerbread with odin. It gets stuck at samsung logo but the bootloader and recovery(custom) still work. The problem is that I cant flash a new rom because odin cant recognise the bootloader. I think its because gingerbread replaced the stock froyo bootloader so it cant be recognised by odin.
Any help plz. Thanx in advance
boot into download mode through vol down + home + power button then flash firmware through odin
I f the custom recovery works download a rom for galaxy mini , put it on sd card , flash it and boot into android

I tried that but it says installation aborted. I think its because the rom isn't signed. I will be grateful if someone suggests signed custom roms that can be flashed by the android system recovery. Thx in advance

Rename the ops file in the right format.
For example if it was S5570_tass_v1.0.ops, Rename it to tass_v1.0.ops and try flashing it again. This helps it to get recognized in Odin and can unbrick the device.

I tried flashing it. Still installation aborted
download latest kies and install it and then reboot your system
after that try to flash
I tried everything I could on the responses but still odin could not recognise my phone. Tried flashing CWM with android system recovery it succeeds but when I boot recovery I find the android system recovery.
My question now is how I can flash CWM without using odin or android system recovery? I will b very grateful if I find the solution. Thnx in advance
Had to take it for repair
Sirs, i'm in a tragic situation. Pls help...
I rooted my galaxy mini pop plus (s5570i with gingerbread 2.3.6) and installed clockworkmod and i successfully did complete nandroid backup. Later unknowingly i installed rzRecovery. After that my phone does not boot. It stucks at samsung android logo. I am able to enter into cwm but when i try restore my backup it says error mounting /system. Is my phone bricked? Is there any solution? Kindly help
note:
1. Odin4.3 does not detect my phone,BUT odin3 does
2. The cwm i used is not permanant. when i press vol.up+home+power it always go to stock recovery. then i have to update the file samsung_pop_plus_cwm.zip
Try to flash cwm through odin and not through recovery. I think it could be a problem if stock recovery tries to replace itself with another recovery.img WHILE ALREADY USING THIS FILE

if i try with odin it shows FAIL; another version stucks at 'Nand writing started'. Another thing when i enter into download mode there is a heading 'ODIN MODE' in red color at the top of the window. And the logo is a green android shape. is it normal??? is it the default state???
First mistake you do, is flashing a recovery that doesn't work for you device.
Second mistake is you don't read instruction really well.
So, send it to SSC (Samsung Service Center), don't act suspicious or they'll know you root your phone.
I belive I soft bricked my i9305 when I tried to install Chainfire3D. I get stuck on the samsung logo but I can still access recovery. I did a CWM backup in Rom manager before it soft bricked but I cant access the backup from the default Recovery and I never flashed into CWM Recovery. So I wonder if I can flash CWM recovery from default recovery so I can reach my backup. Factory reset did not help, still stuck on Samsung logo. I tried flashing 2 roms but I get a error message E:Failed to verify whoe-file signature, E: signature verification failed. I can also add that I did not use Odin to root my device, I used Framaroot. I have no idea what my region number is and such so I'm not sure I can flash the stock rom ether.
Any kind of help is appreciated.

You can not flash a custom rom or a custom recovery from the default recovery, use odin to flash clockworkmod recovery.

Also wrong forum. This is the i9300 Q&A not i9305 Q&A

Ok but the problem is that I cannot enter download mode because I did not root with Odin. So I cannot connect my phone to odin yet. Any idea?

A good idea would be for you to read the basic faqs and guides first .
ODIN and Root have nothing at all to do with entering download mode .
No download mode means you require a service centre repair .

I can not enter adb shell ether because I never had the chance to enable usb debugging. Is service center really the only way? I can still install files from default recovery.
yes. sadly service center is the only option you have now

I finaly made it work, now I can acess odin and Download mode.
However I still dont know due to the fact that none of my roms I try to install with CWM Recovery works (error 7) I got a GT-I9305N so I'm still stuck, thinking about flashing the stock rom I downloaded from sammobile through odin although I'm not sure how.
Thanks so far guys.
Flash stock and get the phone working .

Give me the link to the rom you want flash. The backup you have made not work?
I finaly got everything to work!
I flashed stock rom that I downloaded from sammobile through odin. I want to thank you guys so much for helping me out, it wasn't a easy road. Chainfire 3D ruined everything for me but I should have been more careful with installing that. Hopefully I can find something better to make the textures not all white in HD games but thats a different story.
Thanks again everyone!
