[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] can't root and can't enter recovery mode

hi all!
i have a problem with my samsung galaxy next.
I'm not able anymore to enter in recovery mode and also to root it (i have also tried to root it via pc).
If i try to enter in recovery mode (vol up+home+power) the phone says "ramdump mode".
Another problem is that if i try to restore factory settings the phone reboot in recovery mode showing some error and it doesn't restore factory settings.
I can just reload stock rom via odin :crying:
I would change rom, with the stock one the battery draining is unbearable.
the problem with the recovery mode came after i came back to stock rom (i have tried mod rom).

Try vol down+home+power. It will work.
EDIT: Oops this is the download mode! As other guys telling Home+Power only.

Turn off your phone, Hold your Power and Home button at the same time, when the Samsung logo comes up, release the power button BUT keep holding your HOME button. Then go Wipe data/factory reset, it's the same thing.

You don't go into recovery by holding volup+home+power buttons. You go into recovery mode by holding only Home+Power buttons.

HELP! Hard brick! (s5570)

Hi! I have a galaxy mini s5570. When i press the power button the screen don't turns on; the download mode and recovery mode don't start. If I get the phone in the ramdump mode (Vol Up+Home+Power) or in emergency dload mode (Vol Up+Vol Down+Home+Power) the screen don't turn on but odin recognizes the phone. I tried to flash any firmware but odin stops at "setup connection ..."

I had already tried but the phone don't enter in the download mode and odin don't recognizes it
Odin recognizes the phone in ramdump mode and emergency dload mode only!

[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.

Take it to samsung service senter if u got warranty and if isnt try to use another mini 2 battery but I think it may not work and try to press all butoms at same time for 2min and if nothing work buy or make a JTag

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.)

You sir... you are my new hero! key trick is pressing the recovery combination quick before logo appears and ... guess what i was holding the damn buttons so hard i was thinking they'd eventually lose pressure
My mini2 is alive :angel:

I'm glad to help you cheers

I have similar problem:
1. no recovery mode, only download mode
2. no matter what stock firmware I flash using odin I get bootloop
I tried the trick to go download mode > reject codition and then press the recovery mode combination but did not work
I wonder if there is a Cyanogen firmware in tar.md5 format so I can flash with odin ?

I guess you have stock recovery:
to boot stock enter in recovery mode and wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset then restart;
to answer your question: put CM7.2 on you sd card, enter in recovery mode, wipe cache, data/factory reset and the flash the rom from the sd card;
once android started try to enter in download mode (hold volume-, home, power on)

Entre to download mode is only Vol up + Home + power buttons
if put vol- you enter to RAM Dump

i am sure with holding vol -,+ and power get me into download mode. By holding vol - home and power is nothing, it just like pressing only power it will boot in normal start up

Hi There,
You can force your device to go to Recovrey or Download Mode using JIGG (Hardware) or Heidmall (software).
Force your device to move to Download mode easiest way Heidmall and flash it using odin.
