Sirs, i'm in a tragic situation. Pls help...
I rooted my galaxy mini pop plus (s5570i with gingerbread 2.3.6) and installed clockworkmod and i successfully did complete nandroid backup. Later unknowingly i installed rzRecovery. After that my phone does not boot. It stucks at samsung android logo. I am able to enter into cwm but when i try restore my backup it says error mounting /system. Is my phone bricked? Is there any solution? Kindly help
note:
1. Odin4.3 does not detect my phone,BUT odin3 does
2. The cwm i used is not permanant. when i press vol.up+home+power it always go to stock recovery. then i have to update the file samsung_pop_plus_cwm.zip
Try to flash cwm through odin and not through recovery. I think it could be a problem if stock recovery tries to replace itself with another recovery.img WHILE ALREADY USING THIS FILE

if i try with odin it shows FAIL; another version stucks at 'Nand writing started'. Another thing when i enter into download mode there is a heading 'ODIN MODE' in red color at the top of the window. And the logo is a green android shape. is it normal??? is it the default state???
First mistake you do, is flashing a recovery that doesn't work for you device.
Second mistake is you don't read instruction really well.
So, send it to SSC (Samsung Service Center), don't act suspicious or they'll know you root your phone.

I have rooted my S5570I with universal root I found here, and it worked, but I decided to install MIUI and I forgot to install Clockwork Recovery, so it failed, and now when i try to turn on my phone it just gets stuck on boot. But I can access download and recovery mode. When I go to recovery, it says that it's unable to mount /system. And when I try to flash stock firmware in odin (Indian firmware on phone from Croatia, I have read that it's the same, only that my phone will be named Galaxy Pop) it won't discover my phone. (It is in download mode) And also kies can't discover it. Before I try to flash in odin, I make sure that no kies processes are open in task manager. I tried to install Clockwork recovery with flashing in normal android recovery, and it says that it's complete, and when I press reboot, take out the battery, and go to recovery again, it's the same. Can anyone help?

When you downloaded the clockwork mode recovery file you should have flashed via Odin v4.38 and not trough stock recovery cos that might end up soft/hard brick your phone try to follow the tutorial from af(android forums) on how to unbrick your phone it might help

Try to follow that tutorial that i've been talking about the one on (andorid forums) (it help'd me allot)although i'm not quite sure that it will help you very much cos that tutorial is for SGM s5570 but try it if it help's i would recommend before flashing clock work mod for your device (via Odin) not trough stock recovery,cos mine got stuck at boot logo the same as you i try'ed to flash cwm trough stock recovery and my device bootloop'ed so try to update your phone with latest version of gingerbread and then start to flash cwm on your device if the unbrick tutorial from af help's
I belive I soft bricked my i9305 when I tried to install Chainfire3D. I get stuck on the samsung logo but I can still access recovery. I did a CWM backup in Rom manager before it soft bricked but I cant access the backup from the default Recovery and I never flashed into CWM Recovery. So I wonder if I can flash CWM recovery from default recovery so I can reach my backup. Factory reset did not help, still stuck on Samsung logo. I tried flashing 2 roms but I get a error message E:Failed to verify whoe-file signature, E: signature verification failed. I can also add that I did not use Odin to root my device, I used Framaroot. I have no idea what my region number is and such so I'm not sure I can flash the stock rom ether.
Any kind of help is appreciated.

You can not flash a custom rom or a custom recovery from the default recovery, use odin to flash clockworkmod recovery.

Also wrong forum. This is the i9300 Q&A not i9305 Q&A

Ok but the problem is that I cannot enter download mode because I did not root with Odin. So I cannot connect my phone to odin yet. Any idea?

A good idea would be for you to read the basic faqs and guides first .
ODIN and Root have nothing at all to do with entering download mode .
No download mode means you require a service centre repair .

I can not enter adb shell ether because I never had the chance to enable usb debugging. Is service center really the only way? I can still install files from default recovery.
yes. sadly service center is the only option you have now

I finaly made it work, now I can acess odin and Download mode.
However I still dont know due to the fact that none of my roms I try to install with CWM Recovery works (error 7) I got a GT-I9305N so I'm still stuck, thinking about flashing the stock rom I downloaded from sammobile through odin although I'm not sure how.
Thanks so far guys.
Flash stock and get the phone working .

Give me the link to the rom you want flash. The backup you have made not work?
I finaly got everything to work!
I flashed stock rom that I downloaded from sammobile through odin. I want to thank you guys so much for helping me out, it wasn't a easy road. Chainfire 3D ruined everything for me but I should have been more careful with installing that. Hopefully I can find something better to make the textures not all white in HD games but thats a different story.
Thanks again everyone!

hello everyone,
I rooted my galaxy ace S5830 using single one click. after that used the stock recovery to install CWM (i changed the name to update.zip and use it from my SD card). By this i lost my recovery option.
I started the phone and used the CWM.apk installed in my apps to flah the recovery again, at this point after restart by the app, the phone stuck and don't start or enter the recovery.
Ican enter download mode (Only word downloading is diplayed on the screen). Now when i try to download the stock ROM or the CWM using Odin, it take very long time and stop at the same point (download MIBIB file). WHen trying to download the recovery using odin, it stuck in the download .img file.
U tried it with different odin versions, but all stuck.
Any advice?

Hello, thank you for repalu. I can boot on the download mode only. I solved it after correcting the (OPS) file name. I found a post on another site said it must be (Cooper_v1.0.ops). After doing that, i can use Odin normally to download the recovery CWM and stock ROM.
