hey guys,, i seem to have stuffed the recovery of my phone,, i stupidly installed cwm on my phone without root, but when i reflashed with odin the stock recovery works but when i install cwm, it doesnt go into recovery
CWM doesn't require root!
Try to reflash a stock rom. Not the one package file but the whole rom.

You sure you're installing cwm and roms for your device? What model ace do you have? (Not the i model right?)

Make sure it is Just the "S5830" Any other then your in the wrong thread.
Tbh The order i do it, Flash the latest stable stock rom Via odin, Flash update {Any Kernel} (On phone) Then Reboot into CWM To flash a rom.

yes it is, im not a noobie,, done that too,, im trying to flash cm9 b10 now but its stuck at samsung, and yes i have done data wipe and cache wipe
Only way i can think of is:
Flash new software with Odin: http://www.4shared.com/rar/FCyxijg8/odin_s5830_package.html
Then flashing "CWMRecovery" {AttacthMent} as an update through stock recovery as an update
Then reboot into CWM Recovery To wipe data Etc Etc, Then flash what ever ROM you want..
please more info man really not helping.

Flash "Root" After Flashing "CWM" See if that helps? if not please try the order i have gave, or try looking for different resources.
The Sources i have given you are working fine for my Ace.
Hi, I have flashed many roms in other devices and is the first time it happens to me and i don´t know why.
I flashed the latest firmware via odin then root and cwm, well. When I installed the CM rom with his wipes it boots first time, works perfect, but when i reboot it bootloops, but if do the wipes again it boots first time again but when I reboot bootloop again, any solutions? Thanks.
The Rom I flashed is this (winter release) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438

I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the rom as I have personally used that rom as well as many others. Having said that, I will ask you to do all the necessary steps to install a rom.
1. flash stock via odin.
2. root your phone and flash cwm 5.
3. boot into recovery, do factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe and format system in mounts and storage.
4. check the md5 sum of the rom for it's integrity and then copy it to sd.
5. flash the rom. reboot system.
first boot will take a bit of time. after setting everything reboot. your phone will boot just fine. have patience though. booting may take time. whatever happens, you should not be in bootloop now because rom is okay. good luck:good:

flash a stock firmware via odin then flash a custon rom after rooting and installing cwm, here is a tutorial, I hope this help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
So last time my phone was stuck on the device name and model number screen. I solved that issue by flashing TWRP using Odin.
but now the phone would not go past the boot screen no matter what I do. I re-flashed CM11 4 times now, factory reseted and wipe cache and dalvik cache. What should I do?
1. change your thread title please. Need help is not really helpful or directs to your issue.
2. what version of TWRP are you using? The official TWRP 2.8.7.0 does not work. Too long to explain why's that. To fix this issue there are some solutions if you flashed the faulty recovery:
- flash Stock ROM again and stay on TWRP 2.8.5.0
- some users fixed this issue by just flashing another recovery or just flashing a stock based custom rom to get their phone working. You still need to change recovery.
In my case I had to flash stock again and flash my preferred recovery again to get my phone working.

So I should flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 and flash CM11 again? (because I don't have stock rom for S3 LTE)
Where can I get stock rom fro S3 LTE I can't seem to find it all, I find is firmwares.
Also, a few questions
1) If I give it into my phone carrier (Optus) would they know that it is rooted?
2) If they know it is rooted and with a custom rom and don't fix it for free is it possible to get it fixed by paying money??
The firmware provided by Samsung is the stock ROM I'm talking about
No, since you tried to flash a ROM through the faulty recovery you need to flash either official firmware from Samsung or a custom ROM based on Samsung stock like AMCHA or N4 Elite. I'd recommend to go with official Samsung firmware. After that go to stock recovery (it will come when you flash official firmware), do a factory reset and let the phone boot once. After that you can flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 and flash any ROM you want.
The new recovery from TWRP is too big for the S3. The S3 recovery is a little over 8MB, the new one needs more and messes up partitions etc. You won't be able to mount /system, /data and the recovery can't read your internal partitions as it should. Go with the way I provided. It seems like a lot of work but it's done in a few minutes.
For your two questions: yes and yes. But you can fix that on your own and don't need your operator or Samsung to get your phone fixed.
Thanks a lot for helping. I was scared to death cause if something happened I would've had to start using a old brick Nokia phones
Is it possible that after I flash the stock firmware, my phone still doesn't boot up?
I am basically a level above newbie, so I don't get what is happening. I see tutorials and do what they tell me to do. sometime I get what I am doing sometime I don't
as i said, after flashing stock, go into the recovery and do a factory reset. The phone will boot then

I had this problem too! Flashed stock rom, then flashed TWRP 2.8.5.0 (I was using 2.8.7.0) and then flashed cyanogenmod 12 and boom it booted and worked!
Thank you very much!
what i'm trying to do is installing lollipop on my s advance
i was coming from CM11 by epirex, and i decided to try his SlimLP; did all the wipes, flashed rom and gapps with no error at all, and then the phone endlessly rebooted into TWRP
so i did a deep clean installing jb with odin; then rooted, installed cwm, flashed MaxiCM this time without gapps and... again the phone only boots into recovery.
what can i do? can this mean that my phone is dying?

Even I had the same problem . to fix this go back to stock jb using Odin then root then flash a ROM whose android version is 4.4.2[no need to install gapps] then flash the lollipop ROM it will boot up fine
Sent from my GT-I9070 using XDA-Developers mobile app
EDIT: SOLVED!!!
Hi guys! I have a question. I have twrp that I installed with the help of advanced stock kernel. But it doesn't look like a permanent recovery. If I install a custom ROM without a recovery, I will lose my recovery. Can you help me install a permanent recovery on my phone. ?
I have tried flashing using flashtool and it only boots into twrp and not android.....
Thanks !

The reason you lose recovery when installing a new ROM is because TWRP is built in Advanced Stock Kernel,and when you flash for example SLiMM ROM it reflashes its kernel.
That means that every time you install a new ROM you will need to reflash the kernel.

Don't worry, Im going to close the thread now . The problem was that i cannot flash the kernel on roms like PA or CM without getting a bootloop, but i managed to find out how to flash a recovery to the recovery partition and then enter it using a key combo, and it works quite well, perfect for my needs!
Thanks anyway!:good:
