I have a new i9305(about a month old, from tmobile if that matters). It came running 4.1.2 which I updated OTA to 4.3 official. I recently rooted, using CF via Odin. I tried to boot phone into recovery but the screen went blank. Phone doesn't cut off but it's blank as if is off. I reinstall stock recovery and it runs. I've tried to install 3 different recoveries via Odin(CWM, TWRP, forgot 3rd) but they all have the same problem. Rom Manager doesn't help and it also says I have CWM 5.x.x.x installed even when I flash stock recovery.
I've searched for a solution on here and other sites and this problem seems to be unique. I would like to know if there's a way I can either install a custom ROM without custom recovery or if I can solve this problem
Install cf root with odin .
Boot ur phone.
Go to play store and get supersu update it.
Get ROM manager from play store install it and install custom recovery from there.
Choose your model in ROM manager.
Search for cwm-recovery-6045-i9305.zip if you install a kitkat ROM flash that first.

How can i uninstall cmw? because i installed it, but i dont need it( i downloaded from an link from youtube whit rooting and that package dont have root =)) but in title his name is rooting samsung galaxy ace 2.3.6) and now i cant root my phone. Anyone?
More information please...what do you mean by you installed cwm but now you cannot root? Usually cwm is installed after rooting...just leave cwm there...it's very useful for backups and custom rom flashing...or if you really hate it (why would you? Lol), just flash a stock rom via odin and reroot without cwm...
I think he installed CWM without rooting the phone now he cant root it with CWM

You can try flashing CWM Recovery with Odin, then flash a pre-rooted ROM w/ CWM Recovery

cherrs that what ive bein doin thanks anyway
if your trying to root your phone and you still have stock recovery on it then it won't get root rights... install CWM with odin the install a custom rom... also you won't be able to backup a stock rom with a custom recovery so best thing to do is install CWM with odin (if your on stock its the only way) REBOOT then install a custom rom and you'll have root rights as all custom roms have superuser or superSU pre installed.

Or you could flash the update.zip file via CWM and then you get root access on stock Android if that's what you'd like

yeah you can do that, but as I said in my previous post, you can't backup stock rom with CWM recovery you can only backup stock rom with stock recovery so its a good idea to install a custom rom after you've installed CWM recovery, then do a nandroid backup BEFORE you start exploring the system files just in case you delete something by accident.
Im completely confused by this GT-I9070...
it seems ive tried everything and nothing works...
I wanted to upgrade my friend's GB to MIUI, downloaded the ROM, installed CWM, flashed the ROM
and the phone got stuck in bootloop.
after that i tried a couple of different ways to flash at least the stock GB firmware back,
but it got stuck in setup (Setup.apk and gapps crashing constantly)
then tried a couple of things with odin, and got completely confused and frustrated.
can anyone please help me out here (im kinda noob here in flashing with odin and stuff)
and explain how can i flash a ICS or whatever ROM that will finally work?
a ste by step walktrough would be nice
currently i somehow got back to stock recovery, tried to flash TWRP using odin, and got stuck in bootloop again.
You need to flash official jelly bean firmware first, look on sammobile or samsung-updates. After that you can flash any ROM you want trough CWM recovery :thumbup:

To flash the stock ROM JB (4.1.2) you need to flash with Odin. Then flash the cocore kernel so that you can get CWM. CWM will later be useful to replace the default recovery easier for you to install a Custom ROM, which you want.
Note: Flash COcore Kernel using Universal Kernel By Frapeti. Download via Playstore.
Requirements: Your device must root first.
Additional info related to how to install the Cocore Kernel, using Universal Kernel by Frapeti. Please see the thread here.

Why flash root.zip and after that flash cocore kernel? Why not directly flash update.zip (CWM by shaan) after you have flashed stock, than you can install any ROM you want, no need to flash, reboot, flash, reboot.

Because it is a choice or to me personally as an alternative method that I use. Or may include other users while still using the stock ROM. So there is no harm in using any method, as long as our desired goals are achieved. In this case get a Custom ROM.
I just dont get it..
I've downloaded a stock 4.1.2 firmware, flashed it using odin, everything went ok, got the green pass from odin.
As i have turned the device on, the error on the setup wizard still exist.
It seems like all of the setup wizards on all the stock firmwares i've tried are failing.
Also the device shows gapps crash error.
Any method to root the device while being unable to go to Playstore as suggested above?
or,
any method of knowing if the device is rooted or not?
my friend played a bit with the phone and maybe have rooted it somehow..
anyway, now im kinda with the stock 4.1.2 firmware, the nest step is to root, then flash the cocore kernel, am i right?

I did not do any.of that I think I downloaded a rom or.a set of recoveries that just worked for.some reason. I can't.remember.
Installed custom rom. And messed about got brick fixed.rerooted but now can't get recoverys again
Can anyone help me get recoveries on stock rooted c5303 Xperia sp

This is how I bricked my sp I tries installing kernel through one of the apps supposedly meant to be able.to do it but it failed wouldn't boot had to go friends download flashtool 205 global ftf and. Flash it.
Now just stock and.rooted via towelroot. Sd says Cwm folder is there as I.delete it reboot and Cwm.folder is.back???? Weird I can't.boot no recovery

I was on stock touchwiz android kitkat on my s4 acrive int .. then i installed cwm and rooted using cwm recovery .. when i updated to official touchwiz lollipop via odin i tried to reinstall the cwm but for some reason it can't be accessed whenever i boot into recovery the stock recovery appears instead .. also i tried to use cf auto root (which worked for me before the update too ) but it doesn't work too . Also when flashing both the recovery and the root using odin it says pass but none of them is installed though .. is their any other way to install cwm or at least root the phone while on lollipop

Pay attention to what you need to do immediately after flash custom recovery over stock.
