Hey all
I'm posting this because i haven't found any posts similar.
I have a rooted galaxy ace 5380i and recently i decided i wanted to change my rom ( i was on Gingerbread)
So first i needed to flash a cwm recovery zip. I did but since then the phone won't boot. I can access recovery mode but it's the system recovery mode. I can only enter clockworkmod recovery by installing it. As soon i switch the phone off it puts it back to system recovery. I tried flashing different versions but they all came up with status 7 error Installation aborted... I also tried flashing roms directly but with no success.. Please help me out here, i'm in a lot of trouble without a phone..

Are you sure you are flashing the recovery for 5830i and not 5830 ??

Hello there,
I am new to this thing... and I installed CynogenMod 10 via CWM
everything worked great until I tried installing the GoogleApp...
I tried to find the CWM (I did not start it from bootloader. as a app)
I didn't find it so I thought the ROM deleted it..
I tried flash the CWM again via ODIN and next thing the phone was stuck on boot ( the screen with Galaxy S)
I tried to flash the CWM again and I got fully brick which is weird because I can enter to the Dowloading mode
can anyone help me to make my phone work again ?
Thank you !!!

I am sorry if this is asked earlier. couldnt find such a thread.
I have a samsung galaxy s i9000. i installed cm 10.0.0 stable on it yesterday upgrading from stock 2.3.5.
but because i could not connect to internet via network, i decided on restoring my backup of stock which was made in different version of cwm and while recovering it, it asked me that the "device seems to have root problems. try fixing it?" i selected yes.. after that the phone rebooted and stuck at boot screen. then i tried to go to recovery mode and their it wasnt detecting my internal sd card, boot, system etc i .e. i couldnt mount anytthing. so i tried flashing recovery again.
now finally, i am having a phone which goes only to download mode, or the bootscreen. doesnt even boot to recovery. i guess the kernel is still of cwm 10.
please tell me what should i do?
thanks.

Flash stock rom.
This is my second attempt to install custom ROM and I failed... I did everything step by step and it doesn't work. Or it doesnt boot at all or it craches in recovery mode while installing update.
This time i used some nightly unofficial and it stoped installing in recovery :S This is so annoyng
I downloaded stock lastest from code support for my Samsung S5830 because obviously there is non stable version of custom ROM right now.
I do not advise to go over Android 2.3.6 for S5830 or you will burn down your phone system...

Ok now you are unrooted on your new polish right. So now root it with UniversalGingerbreadroot.zip (google it.) Flash an older version of CWM(5.0) through the stock recovery. Finally install a stable custom rom initially do not go for CM roms as for testing try some other stock based rom and if successful you can advance to CWM.
All the best.

Here you'll find ROOT and CWM files to get ready your Ace, than you'll be able to install Customs STOCK Roms, CM7.x, CM9.x, CM10.x
Read carefully the threads in GT-S5830 Android Development section and follow the dev's instructions
PS: To get CM11.x you'll need to flash CWM6.x or TWRP
Ok ,
I tried to extend the lifetime of my Galaxy Note through replacing the official (sloooow) rom with a custom one. I read so many how-to's online that I got confused. Here is what I did:
First I rooted my phone.
Then I installed CWM via RomManager, which did not work. Altough Rommanager shows an installed CWM the phone always start into Stock Recovery.
I learned that the N7000, in order to use CWM needs a flashed kernel.
I flashed the kernel via Heimdall (Mac OS) with this philz_touch_6.48.4-n7000.tar.md5.
The flashing went successfull (according to Heimdall), and the phone rebooted automatically, but all I see since then is the Samsung Logo (Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000) and a yellow triangle. From there is goes nowhere. I can enter Download Mode, but is does not boot. Also no Recovery Mode. Weird.
Any advice where to take it from here? Do I have to flash back the original kernel?
Try an older philz. That one you used is to new gor Stock Samsung Rom. What rom is currently installed?

The phone doesn't boot because the kernel you flashed is a kitkat kernel.
You should have recovery mode. Try to remove the battery for couple of seconds and then try to get into recovery. If still no go..
Go to Philz thread and look for tw kernels link. Go there and flash XXLTA kernel using odin. Now try recovery mode again.

I have the Stock Samsung Android 4.1.2 installed. I'll try it again with an older kernel. Thanks for your help.

I tried it several times, also after removing the battery. no success. Is is necessary to use ODIN? I use Heimdall as I mentioned, because I am running Mac OS.
I'll try it with a different kernel and report back here about my results. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for your help. I searched through that Philz Thread and found the link to the older kernels. Then I picked this version after asking google for a compatible kernel with N7000 Samsung Rom Android 4.1.2.
Kernel PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0
I flashed it with Heimdall and finally the device boots again. Still not able to boot into Clockworkmod. Device does not enter Recovery mode at all. But at least I have a working device for now again.

Install terminal emulator and try the command
su
reboot recovery.
Now that is weird. After the device booted again I seemed to lost root access to the device. I tried to get root again with Framaroot, also installed SuperUser again since it was magically deinstalled. Now the device booted into the logo with the yellow triangle and then the screen turned black. Nothing happened from there.
Fortunately I had the idea to use adb on the device before trying to flash an original Samsung Rom back on the device out of pure despair. adb listed the device and stated that the device is in recovery mode. It seems that the device always booted into recovery, altough I tried to boot normally. Recovery still not working. But using "adb reboot" helped to reboot the device again.
Trying to start in recovery mode, i.e. with adb reboot recovery always ends up in a black screen. Somehow this is broken.
I think I have to go back to zero and try to follow a good guide from the beginning without mixing several guides.

May be the recovery partition is messed up due to the usage of rom manager earlier. Try to flash a stock rom.

I have a similar problem. I am waiting for tablet to die (battery dead) then plug into wall charger and it should bring up download mode.
Do you have the LTE model?

Going to necro this because I've had the same problem as the OP (but not 2nd message).
I had CWM 5, tried to flash TWRP (so I could get Nougat), ended up with no recovery bootable. Can anyone help me get back with a recovery?
Tried to flash TWRP 3 but stuck at "failed". The tab was stuck in like 2% status, and wouldn't respond to Odin commands to flash again, so I had to reboot it.
Then there was no recovery I could boot into (icon would just flash when I tried to enter recovery from bootloader menu).
If I don't try to boot into bootloader menu, it sometimes would show the message "Software update failed", but would still accept Odin flashing.
I tried flashing via odin TWRP 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, CWM 5.5, Stock recovery and all did not work. TWRP <=2.7 and CWM would flash OK but still could not enter it, icon would just flash the icon but not change screen.
It doesn't display "Software update failed" screen anymore, but when I try to boot it normally with power button, it will always go into bootloader mode. If I restart with power + vol -, it would go into bootloader menu for you to choose between recovery and bootloader mode.
What should I do next to get a recovery back?
I haven't tried from Odin flashing a full stock image since I can't find a working download link anymore since hotfiles and devhost are down. Does anyone have a .tar or .tar.md5 for Odin flashing they could link me?
Never mind. I managed to find a stock image flashable by odin, flashed that and recovered stock recovery (and a stock ROM). I used the stock recovery to flash TWRP and then used TWRP to flash a new ROM, and all seems to be well now!

It is not possible with Stock recovery to flash the TWRP Recovery.
I think your Stock image has an CWM Recovery ( its a modified Stock Recovery ) and it is possible to flash TWRP.

Hi, that's great news! Would you be able to share where you got the ROM from and what version of Odin you used (and where you got it) please?
I am stuck on the boot screen with my GT-P7300. The stock images I have found so far don't flash through Odin and also fail in the recovery.
Many thanks in advance
