get that and flash it with odin. ( the file inside the zip, not the zip itself )
download the zip file from the attachment, extract it, and flash the tar from it with odin.
at that point you're on 2.3.6, rooted, and have cwm, then you just need to pick the rom you want, download it and the correct gapps for it, and flash those with cwm, rom first, then gapps.
odin how to :
install usb drivers ( google for them, search in mods/themes/apps for them, or install kies and then uninstall it without removing the drivers it installs. )
download odin.
launch odin
select file to flash.
reboot phone to download mode ( turn phone off, hold volume down, home, and power keys simultaneously until hone reboots to download mode. big yellow triangley thing on screen when in download mode. )
connect phone via usb.
check small rectangle below first square box in odin is yellow.
if it is, click start.
phone will reboot once done.
both files you'd be flashing here with odin should be selected by clicking on PDA, not any of the other options. rom first, then the file from the attachment.
how to use cwm.
turn phone off.
boot into recovery ( same as download mode, but volume up instead of volume down. )
use volume buttons to navigate up and down, home to select.
prior to flashing rom, do factory reset, wipe data, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
flash rom first, then the relevant gapps.
reboot.
set up phone.
thanks on the right track now

Can you get it into download mode without it turning off? (Hold volume down + home button + power) Or recovery? (Hold volume up + home button + power?) Is it rooted with clockwork mode?

Maybe its a boot loop. Switch off your phone and check if download and recovery mode is available(see next paragraph).
If so follow the steps mentioned.
First of all download xxjw4 firmware for galaxy gt-I9000 from
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150483619/708026d/I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip.html
1) Put your phone into Recovery mode (Vol up + Home + Power button) and perform a Wipe data/Factory reset, then a Wipe cache. When done pull the battery out for around ten seconds then re-insert.
(If recovery isn't working ignore this step)
2) Put the phone into Download mode (Vol down + Home + Power button)
3) Unzip the JW4 firmware folder you've downloaded to your Desktop.
4) Launch Odin and click on the button that says PDA and navigate to the PDA file you've just unzipped to your desktop and select it.
5) Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin will say Added and a box will turn yellow to indicate it has recognised your phone.
6) Click the start button in Odin and sit back and wait for Odin to flash your phone. When it's finished it will take a few minutes longer for the phone to reboot than is usual so please don't panic. The phone will reboot.
7) When the phone has rebooted, remove the USB cable and you now have the latest 2.3.6. It might be a good idea to repeat step 1 to make sure nothing of the old firmware is left behind.
And that's it, seven steps to 2.3.6 JW4 Value Pack and TouchWiz 4.

yeah i know the basics ! but stil it doesnt work ! can it be a hardware problem? and if it right how can i fix it ?
Did you try that method? And when did it start turning off, did you try mpding it or did it just start doing it? Does it he a knock when it turns off or is it at the same place everytime? If it stays turned on in download mode its probably software related also make sure the drivers are installed using kies

Does Odin recognize your phone (com12 or something like that in yellow)
If not then try different USB port or also different cable and computer.
According to my experience if you are able to go to download mode then there is always a way to fix the problem
So this morning I was using my phone as normal when it froze. Then I rebooted and it just stays bootlooping. I'm using a recent nightly of CM9 and I can't enter recovery mode to reflash the phone. How do I install CM9 using Odin? Is there any other software for that? I can enter download mode just fine.

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.

Can it be done? How to do it?
through Odin. make sure it's for the i9305
The most recent CWM ported is in this thread, which also contains a link to Odin. Make sure Kies isn't running and that you have the right USB drivers, open Odin, put your phone in download mode (turn it off, then hold volume down + home while you turn it on again), connect your phone to your PC, and flash the .tar.md5 file as PDA.
1. First, download Odin from this link
Make sure you have the drivers for your phone installed. *If not download KIES from the Samsung site and install*
2. Plug your phone into the computer and start Odin.
3. Shutdown your phone and boot it in to download-mode by pressing Vol. down + home + power
4. Press the PDA-button in Odin and select your CWM-recovery file.
5. Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected.
6. When flashing is done you will se a message "PASS" and your device should restart automatically.
Congratiulations, you now have CWM flashed on your phone
Here's a link to a CWM recovery flashable file if you not have one alreddy. LINK
Creds for the CWM-recovery file upload goes to codeworkx
I have flashed the cwm file through odin. It passed but when I go into recovery it is still the stock recovery and not cwm. Why?
I've gotten the same problem. So.. i flashed the recovery, but whej the phone restarted i shut it down without booting.(i removed the battery when the s3 lte screen showed up). Then i entered recovery and it worked. (S3 lte reflashes stock recovery and other stock things on stock kernel when booting). If you want permanent cwm recovery, flash a custom kernel! I hope this will help you!

Yes this will trip knox, but you can use Triangle Away to reset the counter
If you are thinking of changing to custom ROMs then use CyanogenMod installer
