So I was using Darky's ROM v9.3 and everything was fine for a couple of months. I had a force close on a game that always worked in past so went to reboot phone. At this time my phone simply failed to finish rebooting. The phone got past the "GALAXY" screen title and then was caught in the "Darky's ROM" title.
I still had download and recovery mode (clockworkmod) so I tried to do a recovery. The recovery file was from just after I had flashed Darky's ROM. This time when I rebooted the phone did not even make it past the "GALAXY" screen title. Furthermore, on this title screen, it initially shows that it is a "GT-i9000 M" but then the "M" drops from the model description.
I have been trying everything I can to simply get a clean copy of the rom onto my internal sd card but no matter what I do Samsung Kies wont connect to the device so that I can copy the .zip to reflash.
I have tried enabling and disabling debugging, I have tried using "download" mode, I have tried mounting system etc and all to no avail.
Pleas help! Can anyone give a detailed description of settings needed to connect to the pc successfully so i can download a rom for a reflash?
If your download mode works flash rom via odin

Can you make a recovery file that we can flash with Odin? A few of us have lost stock recovery snd the CWM recovery file we have available won't work.

[HOWTO] Flash provided recovery without ODIN with broken main recovery [HOWTO]
So after 20 minutes of fiddling with things, I figured out how to get the recovery flashed without having to have recovery installed or without ODIN.
You will need
(1) Rooted LTE device
(2) ROM Manager installed *get at App market*
(3) This file from poitee's post: http://www.mediafire.com/?w45j8i0fcj0wck0
(4) ES File Explorer (or any other file explorer, I just use ES) or USB connection.
(5) Patience
=---------=-------=
Start with a rooted tab. Download the Rom manager.
1) In the ROM Manager, click on Flash ClockworkMod recovery. It will ask you what device etc, select Galaxy Tab. Wait for it to flash so it says "Current recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.0.4".
2) After it's done, scroll down and hit All Clockwork Mod recoveries. Select 4.0.03. Let it download it and flash it.
3) Unzip the recovery.zip and take the recovery.img file and place it on the tablet.
4) Either using ES File Explorer, or just using Windows Explorer with tablet plugged in, find folder called "clockworkmod" in the SDCard root.
5) Navigate to clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
There you will see some two files - recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-p7100.img and recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img
6) Delete recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img from that folder
7) Copy the recovery.img file from the ZIP above into this folder and rename it recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img
8) Go back to ROM Manager, and select Flash ClockworkMod recovery, select the tab and hit OK. It will flash 4.0.0.4.
9) Place your tablet into Airplane Mode (turn off Wifi/4G/3G)
10) Scroll down again, select All Clockwork Mod Recoveries, select 4.0.0.3, and hit OK. That will now flash the recovery we just replaced.
11) Exit out of the ROM manager.
12) Push power button, hit Reboot.
13) As soon the screen goes blank, hold power button+volume rocker up till you see the box or downloading.
14) Hit UP once so the box is selected.
15) Hit DOWN once so that it boots into CWM.
*updated* Thanks jimh1999 and ~Scott~ for updates and feedback after testing this. I was a little tired and did misspell the filenames
You are done
Success....Thank You for this, I was about to give up.
Notes,
~I had to put Tab in airplane mode after step 9
~I didn't leave Tab plugged in
~nand backup will work but no progress bars in CWM
~Rom Manager will alert of recovery update, just dont update recovery
~edit per Scott's post, name of file should be recovery-clockwork to match filename structure in the folder
Finally we have recovery on LTE Tab.
THANK YOU!
My notes:
- I also had to put it into airplane mode after step 9
- I tried to flash the new recovery.img and it failed so I rebooted the tablet at this point.
- I noticed the the first recovery was named recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-p7100.img so I changed recovery-clockworkmod-4.0.0.3-p7100.img to recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img and flashed it with no issues.
Then I booted into CWM and noticed the progress bar issue during the backup.... but.... I BOOTED INTO RECOVERY!!
Thanks again!

Thanks to you and poitee for finding the solution. If you find any roms or kernals that work, please report back. Also can we flash the stock recovery back on this Tab?
I would still like to know why the CWM recovery would,nt work on the LTE version
First of all, let me say thanks for the effort and risk for eveyone involved. Now, please excuse my noobiness here, but is there a way in here to back up the stock rom before flashing/rooting? In other words, can I reverse this process to stock for returns/service?
I've seen how to reverse to stock the WiFi version, but this LTE is uncharted territory. Thanks!
My Galaxy LTE is bricked... Is there any way to just install the plain stock image back?
Mine was never rooted, so i'm kind of stuck, anyone have the stock recovery image?
Yep, I think what we need is the stock recovery image right? Anyone?

DD the image inside to mmcblk0p2. At your own risk. Its the stock lte recovery.

Can you elaborate on your instructions? I have done my fair share of ROM flashing and have used CWM for quite a while, but not sure about going back to stock on the recovery.
I accidentally used Rom Manager to flash "recovery" 4.004 to my LTE Tab and then it would no longer boot up (keeps going back to Samsung screen).
Can get to the screen to choose recovery or Odin. Then, I made it worse by flashing (with ODIN) what I thought was the correct stock image, and wound up putting the Wifi model on to it.
After quite a bit of reading (and kicking myself) ...
I have created a ODIN capable stock recovery image, and now I can get into stock recovery, but I need the rest of the LTE image to restore my unit. Can anyone make a dump of the factory stuff (other than the data) ? Heck even if I can get it working on just Wifi for now, that would be ok until the LTE image surfaces.
I really don't want to try to return it since I have only had it for 2 days and it would be pretty obvious that I had messed with it.
Thanks. I can make

Can you boot into android? If so I can give you the instructions to get the stock recovery back on via command line or mattj949 can post his Odin file.
I wound up returning and exchanging, but I still want to back it up in case it happens again....
However, I did make a fully working CWM ODIN flashable (for LTE Tab), however, not sure how to post it here. I left it on my office PC, will figure out how to post tomorrow.
Bricked?
Im having the same problem with rooting then using clockwork to flash recovery 4.0.0.4. Now Im stuck with the Galaxy Tab boot screen then to black then the boot screen and to black continuously.
I can access Odin but my computer doesn't recognize the Tab and never has. When I plug it in I hear the computer recognize it but gives a different sound doesn't see it. ???
Can anyone help me get this thing booted again.
Thanks

Flash philz kernel (.tar) from pc odin while in download mode (latest version). See if you can get into recovery, if you can, download and put the CM rom+gapps on external sd card, flash without any wipes from recovery or if you did take any nandroid backup you can restore that from philz kernel.

download philz kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
download the one that says .tar instead of .zip. put the phone into download mode. Open PC odin, connect phone to pc, COM ID should light up in yellow with some number. click on PDA and choose the .tar file and click on start. once it is finished, reboot into recovery and see if it works. You can fix the counter and yellow triangle later with Triangle away application.

Is the Kernel version essential? Since Philz v5.11.2 has several Kernels you can choose from, where as you cannot check which one you have running since the phone does not boot anymore.
correct , you're right!

Philz Kernel may need a LINK here. maybe URL ?
THanks ALL ! feel that solutions are near now.
as you cannot check, you can download the one for your region, check on sammobile.com/firmwares for which one is for your region and i already gave the link to the philz kernel, i wont post the direct url for the file.

It doesn't matter which kernel you flash, you're just flashing to give you recovery and then you can flash cm and gapps. It won't boot, it's not supposed to.

Not sure I'm in the same boat...
is anyone seeing the same as I am - I also can't boot into Recovery since nightly 20130824. I can boot into Download mode... and... I can still boot into my current CM10.2 nightly (20130824)!!!
I've tried reflashing CWM using ROM Manager, even a few times... but nothing changes. Trying to get into recovery using VolUp+Home+Pwr doesn't work (after Samsung GT-N7000 white text... blackscreen (which I can see is still 'on'). If I try to boot into recovery using Rom Toolbox or similar, it behaves the same and I can only get it to reboot into the ROM once I've pulled the battery out and then put it back in and connected to a charger so the battery charging icon shows... which somehow clears the 'boot into recovery' flag somewhere.
Very concerned... saw something in the changelogs back at 20130824 about recovery fixes and wondered if this might happen. The first time I got it to boot back into the ROM something wasn't quite right with the internal/external SD mounts... all my ringtones and alerts etc. were reset to just numbers (e.g. 40125) which actually happens more often than I expect... but this time I couldn't find the ones I usually use in the selection list.
I rebooted with SD card out... then re-inserted it... and then things went back to how they should be and I could see and select my preferred tones again.
Have tried booting into Recovery via app, via hw keys... with SD card in, SD out... SIM card in... SIM out... both SD and SIM out... there's just no way into recovery.
Using ROM Manager I also tried to setup the alternative Recovery (TWRP) but that also gets stuck with the message 'ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation'. but same behaviour when trying to boto into recovery.
I've also used Android Root Toolkit to try save/protect Root... Restore Root.. etc. but to no avail.
Any ideas... please?
EDIT: Thanks for the Odin3 / PhilZ Kernel advice - that seemed to work.
Question: Now that I've got back to recovery and updated to nightly of 20130826, did I overwrite PhilZ kernel?
yes
Yes,
ideas:
Read the rom thread, fixes there
a few days ago i dropped my galaxy s2 in the toilet(dont laugh) so i went to using my brother's old s plus I9001.
long story short,i tried to upgrade the 2.3.3 to a 4.2.2 Jellybean using this guide : http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/4579...alaxy-s-plus-i9001-android-4.htm#.VAWoGfmSzGA
i searched a few other guides beforehand,most of which stated that i need a rooted phone,so i rooted it using a guide i found on this forum(here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001)
this is everything i did :
1. Connect the Galaxy S Plus to your computer.
2. Unrar the CM 10.1 firmware RAR file you have downloaded
3. Copy the CM 10.1 firmware you have extracted from the unrar file to the SD card of your phone.
4. Turn off the Galaxy S Plus.
5. Reboot the device into Recovery mode. Press Volume up + Home + Power keys simultaneously. You can flash this ROM using the stock recovery or a custom recovery app.
6. In the Recovery mode, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition."
7. Then select "install zip from SD card" and "choose zip from SD card." Search for the firmware you have copied on the device.
8. Select the firmware file and install it.
9. Go back and select "reboot system now."
so everything went well,until i tried rebooting the device.im stuck now at the cyanogenmod logo.basically i have a boot loop isue.
being a noob at these kind of things,my first thought was that my phone had bircked,so i followed an unbricking tutorialobviously,it didnt work.
can you please help me solve this bootloop s**t? :good::good:

in twrp you can also fix permissions. It's in advanced or some menu like that. Good luck!
It says failed to fix permissions.

I would try to delete as much (wipe) as possible from your phone to make it work again. Wiping doesn't remove your recovery. Or flash another recovery tar if you can get into download mode.
install odin on windows pc: http://depositfiles.com/files/m2n77b1vc
install samsung drivers on windows pc: http://developer.samsung.com/technic...000000117#none
get cyanogenmod 12.1: http://novafusion.pl/
get the odin version
when mobile powered off, hold volume down, home and power button. You get the downloadmode option on your screen, let go all buttons and press volume up button.
Now connect the phone to your pc with the usb cable and let odin find it.
Load the tar file in the downloaded zip file as pda and flash it.
If you want clockwork mod, install this as tar, also in pda flash option: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526789241
If your samsung doesn't work but you can still get into download mode, view next page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2122548
and install a fail safe firmware according to your type of phone.
What I don't understand is why the flashing went wrong, I did everything right, at least I think. Wipe everything and flash the rom, why didn't it work?
