[Q] Can not flash cwm recovery

Sorry for repost, wrong category.
So, here's the story again .
1. I had 2.3.3 xxjvo Gingerbread with cfroot
2. I flashed 4.02, the platypus one
3. I wanted to go back, I used my cwm backup
4. Cwm's were different version -> soft brick
5. Flashed stock froyo with 2e recovery
6. Unbricked phone with dbdata.rar
7. Noticed still have the 4.0.2 kernel
8. rooted the phone anyway with cfroot because no root
9. Got Rom manager, Superuser. Flashed recovery from the app
10. Noticed: still 2e recovery.
11. Tried to reflash. No result.
It asked the permissions and everything, why not work?
Also, is there a way to install a fully stock rom and kernel with odin?
Can 4.0 be flahed with odin?

Instal a stock rom and then flash CF-root from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108

I'll try, but I kinda did that already.
Where can I get the original xxjvo rom with the kernel, the links seem to always bee broken!

Man try this:http://androidadvices.com/info/samsung/galaxy-s-i9000/page/4/

I solved this one myself: I made a cwm backp, which messed things up from the beginning, but I knew it was valid.
I got a very similiar rom to my own, flashed it, cfrooted and used cwm to restore the old file:
IT'S UP 'N' RUNNING WITH ALL ITS APPS!
I am so glad, I will probably go to ICS again but now I'll just flash the firmware and use my backup. I gotta love this SGS.

abyss kernel cannot use with ics since it is a gingerbread kernel. a ics is required to have a ics kernel for it to work. what can you do is if you have a nandroid backup, just restore it using the abyss or if you are running a stock ics, just find a compatible ver of cfroot ics kernel and flash it via abyss.

First of all, if anything goes wrong, this is your safest way to not cause any additional harm to your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18981227&postcount=4
But since your backup is not working, you don't want to employ this method right now.
So you just follow the advice of janice1234 and find a compatible (with your ICS version) cf-root kernel (v5.6!) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26746339&postcount=7, copy it to your external sd via anything that lets you access it (e.g. adapter or another phone) and flash the kernel with abyss.
While you're in the dev section you could do some more reading, for example all the information chainfire provides in his cf-root kernel thread...

hi got all u told me just one more thing how to flash wia abyss.....dont know how to ...i know how to flash via cw recovery touch i have it but from theer cf root have .tar file and it cannot be flashed through cw recovery so how to flash cf root from recovery. thas all i need to know.
thanx

You need to download a rom that can be flashed through cwm / abyss red. Try criskelo v7 ics. Download to your pc, copy it to your SD card using SD card reader) then reboot into recovery and flash it. If you have stock ics, I would do the 3 wipes first before flashing the new rom. Make sure you are doing all of this from abyss 4.2 cwm and not ics cwm.

Usually people run into this problem the other way around.
Anyway, once you have downloaded the .zip file there is no need to unzip it, since the .zip is exactly what you need to flash in CWM as it can't handle the bare .tar.

[Q] unrooted GB - OTA ICS - Flash/Root SpeedMod kernel via Odin?

Hi good folk!
I have my son's new GN and I want to help him to safely update to ICS OTA and root.
Is it safe and possible to go from unrooted GB, do the OTA update to ICS, then flash n' root the SpeedMod kernel via Odin?
It's wipe and restore with default ICS kernel that's unsafe if I've read right?
Thanks for your help!

Ok, I sound like a total noob, I admit it!
Safest way to get speed mod kernel onto unrooted stock ics please. I have been looking, but it's like spaghetti junction out there!
Thanks!

Yup, its wiping in recovery or factory resets which is causing problems. You should be able to safely upgrade to ICS.
Not sure about the kernel. Just read the stickies. I think it would be covered.
One advice: scrap stock ROM all together.. Flash something like Asylum ICS, or some safe custom ICS ROM based on stock ROM because frankly stock ICS sucks like hell.. if you need any help, feel free to PM me!

The safest and easiest method would be,
1. Upgrade to ICS via OTA
2. Root with temporary CWM method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
3. Get Mobile Odin from Google Play (or search in xda)
4. Flash latest speedmod kernel for ICS (k3-5 .tar) via mobile odin
5. Reboot to recovery and do wipe from there if needed

Great! Thanks for your helpful replies, much appreciated!

i suggest you to be on gb to stay on safest side otherwise ics is a pain in ass.. go upgrade i can't stop you

+1

Anything is not safe if you don't know how to use it properly...

I don't advise you to go OTA, as if you read there are many posts are there describing battery issue, FC, unable to go to deep sleep. what are happens is likely due to previous ROM junks (thogh may not happen in all cases, b'coz there state of ROM may be clear at time of OTA update)
What i suggest best thing is to go this way
-Take backup of important data, as you have unrooted GB so you have limited scope for backup, but there is lots of applications then worth to get Root (if your RO is directly rootable) then create backup with titanium or same other application. just backup only user applications only not system junk.
-Wipe cache and data fro recovery (you can get recovery with Vol Up+home+power)
-Download ICS ROM and flash using odin from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Here is installation and rooting guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26455511&postcount=2475
-Now you will feel fresh ICS experience. and you can restore your data which you have created earlier.
But if you dont have much application to backup, then escape root, Backup/restore steps i have mentioned. Contacts can be backup with google sync, as well from contact - import/export
and SMS can be backup with SMS backup and restore application
as well there is free appl for unroot ' My bakup" on market is good to backup these stuffs.
GoodLuck!
Edit : Yes wiping is not safe on ICS. but custom kernels are safer compare to stock. you can flash any safe kernel like CF,Franco,speedmod and some more (get it from development section) after finishing root ICS.
Just remember golden rule, avoid deleting big files, wipe and recovery function on ICS. then you are safe.

Ahh wow thanks but too late! My son started playing with his phone before I could speak to him last night, and this morning I looked at his phone and saw it had ICS. Either this phone came preinstalled with ics, or I suspect that it updated when he turned on wifi, as auto update was ticked.
So I root, flash speedmod kernel and reboot to recovery to be safe from the bad bug, then install a custom ics rom over the ota stock rom?
One question please. So I'm on stock ics from ota. After flashing speedmod kernel and rebooting to recovery, is it then safe to wipe cache and dalvik after doing this, and before installing a custom ics rom?
Many thanks again..bowled over by responses to a noob from respected xda peeps!

Okay, I'm on the Speedmod kernel and already the stock ota ics is visibly smoother. one step at a time!

Speedmod kernel is.safer.then stock.and disabled emmc erase cap command to remove brick bug. But still to be safe side avoid unnecessarily wipe as well.recovery function till that's not must. Here nobody claim 100% safe like gb kernel.

Unable to Boot Note n7000 after Firmware Flashing

Hello XDA,
I Need some help with My galaxy note n7000, its was purchased from Kogan, and was in German when I first got it,
I have not been able to find anything on this Forum yet so;
I Had ICS 4.0.4 installed, Stock, and wanted to try CM9
so after rooting and installing CWM I backed up my device, and flashed the "Safe" CM9 kernal with Odin,
My device now hangs on the Boot up screen, and All I can do is the Download files from Odin, I have tried flashing many different kernels and re installing the Stock Rom (it says leaving CS?), without any Luck,
I am wondering if I need a different Rom, and am currently trying to download the Gingerbread roms in an attempt to roll back,
Any help would be appreciated guys and gals.

did u wipe in cmw when u were in ics??
if yes... sorry to inform u that u may have bricked ur device
try this link to revive ur device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886...
if this also fails u ll have to go to samsung service center to get it repaired...

after flashing CM9 kernel your device will not boot up, its natural , a TW rom will not boot with CM9 kernel
you should have entered recovery with three button treatment and done your wipes and flashed CM9 and gapps.
i dont know at what point you are right now,
try flashing a rootable GB rom with pc odin in download mode, then root it ...then get into recovery and flash CM9 etc etc
if you are bricked your flash will stop at factory fs in pc odin..... (fingers crossed)

A cm9 kernel for TW, of all the poor luck!

Literally just flash it in recovery as you would anything else.
And I'm 99.99% sure you can also just flash rocket ROM in that version of twrp if you are taking about the JB version of alliance.
Just make sure to follow the same wiping procedures
But if you're worried about the emmc brick bug then simply flash philz in twrp and reboot into recovery then do the proper wipes and then flash rocket Rom
Let me know if u need more help.

thanks androidslave, twrp froze the first time i tried flashing cwm , so i kinda got scared. but its all good now
i've got another question
ive been using this phone for almost 2 years now and because of the brickbug workaround the internal sd card hasnt been formatted since gingerbread. so how do i remove all the unwanted stuff from previous roms and apps that must have clogged up??

So long as you're on a truly safe kernel, then you can do it on the phone.
Personally however I wouldnt and never have. I use root explorer and manually delete things I no longer nerd (you can use es file explorer as a safe alternative)
