find threads/post on this i8190 forum with a link to param.tar
when you read them (if you wish to), you will read that that are problems with param.tar.
this is only true for older ones.
Solution:
Find: param.tar Or param.zip
optionally include the following for other/more results:
golden
i8190n
better be sure its for i8190
Version i8190N/L wont matter for being able to boot.
param.tar is probably same for i8190/i8190N, but if it affects anything at all, at least it still boots.
ALSO: if yuo have a workign backup ; restore boot (.img or .tar depending on recovery.)
always try to use cwm or twrp first if yuo have that installed already, especially if you have a backup from those already.
if not then use odion (i preferered 3.04).
if you REALLY cannot find param.tar pm me in 2 days or such

hi, yeah the same i guess. it contains logo.
its more then only logo i guess. i, myselve, have recovered from bootloop 2x using a good param.tar. and i didnt mess with it before that.
i had it suggested to me and it worked.
my 2 cents.
but its surely not the only possible solution. neither is it the only thing to do i bet.

[Q] [ I9001 ] Restore stock recover

Hi all guys!
I've searched into the whole forum and Internet but I cannot find an answer to my question.
After the FeaMod Recovery installation I know I can return to stock recovery by installing a stock ROM. This is a great thing.
But what about restoring stock recovery without installing the whole ROM?!?! Is it possible?!
Sorry if my question has an answer in the forum yet... I really can't find it.
Thank u very much!!!
If you extract original recovery from a stock rom you can dd it to your device. Or you take the stock recovery.img and modify the flashable cwm zip by replacing cwm recovery.img with stock recovery.img and flash that with cwm.

Hi. First of all TY for ur reply.
Then for this I need some help 'cause I've read hundreds of guides and wikies but I'm not really a master!
1) Ur first tip seems a little dangerous! Anyway how can I extract the recovery from stock ROM with dd?! Has to be the phone rooted?! Or adb it's enough?!
2) Ur second tip seems to be better! But where I can take the stock recovery.img?
And then, after replacing it in the CWM zip I've to do something else before flashing zip from sdcard?!
Really thank you for your tips!
The attached file should reflash the stock XXKPU recovery to your 9001. Tested and works with FeaMod 1.4.
Hi wintel.
Thanks for your reply.
Only last question, I promise!!!
May I use the file u posted with every ROM I've installed or it has to be used only with XXKPU ROM?!?!
Sorry, but I quiet new with Galaxy world!!!

the stock recovery is the same and should be ok for all roms.
this issue was already discussed in I9001 Q&A thread and in the Feamod thread, wintel made it easy for u and gave u a flashable zip,u could replace the recovery.img also through adb or terminal emulator with dd code.(assuming the recovery.img is in the root of internal sd). (keep this code somewhere in case u need it another time)
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
reboot

[PARTIALLY-SOLVED] Galaxy Ace S5830 - Can't boot into cwm recovery

Dear Community, greetings.
I have a problem as wrote in the title: I can't boot into cwm recovery. I am gonna try to summarize the main points that lead me here.
Assumption​
I used to install custom ROMS flawlessy, following always the instruction etc...
Last rom I've installed was CM7.2 Apocalypse, Project Silk and Link2SD
I needed to restore stock rom
I searched with Google and came across the following solutions
I searched on XDA and came across the following solutions
What I have done...​
I flashed using odin 4.38 -> GB 2.3.6 2012 October 2.3.6 S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 downloaded from sammobile.com
I rooted the phone with upd_1.zip (that is attached to this thread)
I tried to install recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip
...and trying to boot into recovery pushing POWER BT + HOME BT the phone stucks on the screen with "Galaxy GT-S5830" and the top-left corner was green
What I have done #2​
I tried to use S5830XXKA6 but I dind't neither managed to boot properly (wiped data/factory and cache)
Tried to flash CWM directly with Odin using "One Package"
Could you kindly help me out?:fingers-crossed: I am also willing to give you further information as you ask.
Thanks everyone for your time.:good:
F.
---- PARTIAL FIX by myself ----
1. Format the sdcard in linux with GParted (you need to install android-tools-adb, android-tools-fastboot)
2. Flashed stock firmware S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 with ODIN Multidownloader 4.38 (downloadeble from www.sammobile.com under ITALY)
3. Rooted with upd_1.apk and updated with Superuser 3.0 (attached)
4. Installed CWM 6.0.1.4
5. Restore an old backup of mine.
6. Rejoice

First of all, thank you very much for the reply. Then, the answer is yes and no. I flashed several firmwares. Some of them did work, others don't. Right now I managed to use the one I've mentioned before and
S5830XWKT7_S5830ITVKT1_ITV
S5830XWKP6_XWKPN
but trying S5830_XXKA6 it goes in bootloop also wiping data and cache.
Further information:
I noticed a problem with CSC. While booting in standard recovery an error message appeared saying something like "can't open /system/csc/XEU/system", so I've created the whole directory path and put the files that were in /system/csc inside. This issue is fixed. I am going to investigate and let you know if with other firmware I listed above I get the same behaviour.

When your system reboot, wait until Android boot again, install TERMINAL EMULATOR's app and type this commands:

reboot recovery
After you've done it, your device'll reboot into recovery mode automatically

[Q] P7320 trouble

Hi
I have a p7320 which I am trying to install a custom ROM to, and I am having some trouble.
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122
1: flashed cwd through odin
2: flashed superuser through cwm
All fine until now
3: then I flashed the kernel from the same site through cwm
4: bootloop
I didnt take backup, so I couldnt nandroid back
I couldnt turn the device on, so I couldnt transfer another kernel
There were no "mount USB" in cwm so I couldnt transfer the files there either.
I was able to go into download mode, and I flashed the only stock rom I could find in .tar (flashable through odin)
from here: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/12/12/u-s-att-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-sgh-i957-android-4-0-4-ice-cream-sandwich-update-finally-arrives/
flashing went fine and the tab booted.
Now I went back and flashed cwm again through odin, but when I was going to place superuser and the new rom on the sdcard.... there is no room on the tab.
In explorer it says : 0 byte available out of 26.9MB
This tab is 16GB.... what happened?
I cant transfer files to it, so the only thing I can flash is the .tar files through odin.
please help

Hmmm, this is usually a sdcard mount thing
so maybe all you have to do is reboot to CWM do a format /sdcard from mount and unmount section in CWM
then reboot to system and see if the problem still there

There is no such thing as format/sdcard in that section.

this probably means that your CWM version is old [5.5.0.4 I guess]
I don't know if your tab has a newer CWM cuz my tab is p7300,
so try to find a newer one or even try TWRP instead, cuz it also has sdcard format function
one little thing, you said your tab is P7320 and yet you have installed a SGH-I957 ROM {read it from your link}
I honestly don't know the deference between the two devices
what I'm trying to say is: maybe the problem is because you're using a ROM for a different device
so maybe you should try THIS [the latest ICS Odin tar samsung framework for P7320]
I have a p7320 and I am using this ROM.

Hi
I was able to download another .tar full stock rom which I flashed with odin.
Worked out fine, and the memory of the SD card is back.
However... I once again flashed cwm and superuser, then i tried the rom you are linking to but the tab wont boot with it
Its just stuck with a black screen after the logo.
Now I have reflashed the stock rom with working sd card
Sorry about that. I remember I had a black screen for a few minutes but eventually it booted. The developer also pointed out boot animations are missing

Hi,
I'm the developer working on the CM10 ROM for the P7320 - yes, the first boot might take a while, and it doesn't show a boot animation, so it might look like it's crashed. But I have tested going from the stock ICS image to my ROM a few times and it seems to work fine, eventually. Perhaps you could give it another go and see?
Cheers.

Can i flash superuser, your rom and gapps in one go? Or do I have to boot it in between?
thank you for your answer
The ROM should have super user already, so you shouldn't need that. You can do the ROM and gapps together.
I tried again, and this time it worked like a charm!

Sorry about my bad language.

I dont have a solution. Is this the first time you use this ROM? One time I wanted to revert to stock to check something and I got an everlasting Samsung animation until I did a factory reset from recovery. Did you try factory reset?

I've tried Philz, CWM and TWRP(which i normally use) the same problem with all recoveries.
what recovery are you using?
try flashing with odin 3.09 twrp 2.8.5.0 official .tar file.
then try any custom rom.
if your partition table would be messed up i belive your phone would be bricked.

You may take a look here (without any warranties):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...fo-i9305-pit-file-flash-analysis-pit-t1950591
From my perspective: If you are still able to flash a working stock rom then the partition table most likely is ok.
Tried that. Didn't help. When I flash a ROM i check /system and it's empty. No matter what ROM, no matter which recovery
I don't think it's the PIT now. /system seems to be read only. How do I change the permissions via ADB?

Tried repartitioning with PIT
Erasing NAND
I checked the permissions on /system and they are as they should be
I fixed it (not really sure how) ... i ran stock for a while and decided to try again. This time with CWM. Now all is good and i'm back on NAMELESS :good:

Fine, welcome back to the modern world! ☺
But it's sad that you can't tell what fixed the situation. Would have been good to know.

1. Flashed 4.4.4 nordic version of stock (I9305XXUFNL1_I9305DNFFOB1_I9305XXUFOA1) in ODIN, and let it complete with its setup-wizards and so forth
2. Flashed clockworkmod for i9305 (v. 6.0.4.5) via ODIN
3. I flashed nameless nightly 09.07.2015 in cwm and booted it (without gapps)
4. Rebooted back to recovery and installed tk-gapps.
5. Well everything works
BUT before i did that i did all kinds of stuff, like repartitioning with a PIT file and erased NAND in ODIN.
Not sure if the repartitioning and NAND erasure had anything to do with the success.
I still get the "unmount of /system failed no such volume" when flashing in CWM. But the difference between before and now, is that it actually puts stuff in the /system dir It didn't before. I'm too scared now to change the recovery, although i prefer TWRP. So i'll let CWM be.

Will try this procedure and report back. I think this should be moved to Q&A, though.
Edit:
Using CWM I was able to flash and boot NamelessROM, as well.

Have I Bricked my Phone?

I am only just new and have been playing around with this custom rom stuff for a short while now, I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 on my I9305T. I have tried a few different Roms so far but they don't work. I tried just today "RevolutionaryS5-V3" it obviously went through the installation process but did not boot into it, just came up with the samsung default ( samsung S III GT- I9305T ) logo in white. It disappeared then came back looping that way.
So now I have went into the "Advanced Menu" and then "show log" I don't know if this will help you but, it displayed this:-
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7
persist.sys.root_access=1
persist.radio.adb_log_on=1
persist.radio.add_power_save=1
persist.radio.apm_sim_not_pwdn=1

I:Checking for extendedcommand...
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file no
t found...
I:Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/pl
atform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
The roms I have downloaded are:- aicp_i9305_lp-10.0-RELEASE-20150708 (this one looped its boot logo), cm-11-20150907-NIGHTLY-i9305 (i have the recovery .img for this), cm-12.1-20150926-NIGHTLY-dogo (i have the recovery .img for this), FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2 and RevolutionaryS5-V3, if these roms are any good for my I9305T, Can anyone give me some advise on what or how to install these roms.

Something went wrong while flashing rom or maybe the rom data is corrupt.
Bootloop means your device fails to boot if system data is corrupt by flashing rom
You had soft brick.
Reboot into recovery and restore the stock rom if you had nandroid backup.

RevolutionaryS5-V3? that one is not for the i9305 unless i have missed a thread for it. The roms for your phone can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305
but as stated flash stock rom again, flash custom recovery and then choose the rom for your phone
Hey Piyush,
Initially I did try do a Backup using Titanium Backup app, first try I think there wasn't enough room on the internal HDD, so I tried on the external HDD which I thought had done so.. So when I came to this problem, the backup did not work.
Now at first before I rooted the phone. It was done by odin v1.85 and of course it did root. So I know it has superSU, but I can't get onto a stock rom for this phone because of my **** sat internet bandwidth and also a good site to download from. I tried the samsung-update site, but the 2 links don't allow me to finish the download. Do you know of any links that i can download the stock rom for my i9305T my phone was running android v4.3. The link I just stated was for v4.3.
Can you give me some advise on how or what I should do?
Regards,
Wayne

The phone was v4.3 before i rooted the phone. Do i need to flash the stock v4.3 rom again or can i use the older v4.2 or newer v4.4 to reflash the recovery?

I'm not sure if you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2 or earlier. If the phone was running 4.3 then I'd install 4.3 or 4.4 to get stock recovery back. Then you can install a custom recovery. No need to root your phone for that.
Do you know a link that will take me to a compatible file for my GT-i9305T, I'm just not sure what to look out for. Also would you be able to give me a quick rundown/instructions on how to do this. Will I need odin, and which version will I need. Currently I have v1.85, that's what I used to start off. I really don't wanna brick this phone.

Wayne

http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
there you'll find the Kitkat DBT for i9305. Will work with your phone as well. In the OP you'll find instruction on how to install this version via odin. Odin is included in the zip.
After that you put your phone into download mode again and flash the preferred recovery via odin. But don't use TWRP 2.8.7.0 from their site. That build is broken and is getting fixed atm. Either use TWRP 2.8.5.0 or latest Philz Touch. If you decide to flash a custom ROM again, make sure you're in the right forum, e.g. i9305
Thanks heaps for your help so far maultasche, I will let you know how I go with this.
Cheers,
Wayne

From backup I actually meant if you had cwm and you did a nandroid backup of the stock rom from the recovery itself.
If you are getting bootloop you can easily fix it by restoring the backup.
Search on the net about recovery from soft brick and bootloops.
Nandroid backups can atleast get your device in running condition.
If you have custom recovery backup your rom first then you can flash any desired rom.
One more thing if you had flashed custom rom do not factory reset your device,this may result in soft brick.
Hope that helps!
Is your device booting now??

Yes, I successfully got the phone to boot up and run. I used the I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file using the odin v3.09 and now it has asked the country and so on..
It was a bit daunting thinking if it was going to brick or fix the phone...
Thanks for your help, time and kindness for the files you gave me.
The next couple of days I will try attempt install Cyanogenmod 11. Will I need to use odin to install the recovery image, just like I did for the I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file?
regards

You're welcome, glad it did help.
Yes, you need odin to flash the recovery again. No need to root your phone just to install the recovery, as mentioned. Then you can flash whatever ROM you'd like. One thing - although CM 11 still gets nightlies from time to time there is no maintainer left. He switched devices. If you encounter any issues which might be device related they probably won't get fixed.
Is sending pics on pc still an issue? Sorry, I wasn't online and I forgot to check the thread :/
HI Maultasche, so I have been looking at the" Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.6" rom and have been downloading the files for it, but i am not sure what the "changelog" file is for or what it does. The page - forum . xda-developers.com / galaxy-s3 / development-i9305 / rom-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-t2704828 . It tells me I need these Installation Files:- ROM , Gapps & Changelog. Do you know if i can install this Rom using
CWM v6.0.4.7?
Oh, and about the send pic question, I wanted to send you a pic of the odin mode screen from my phone, but the only thing I could see was the "insert image" button. But it wanted me to enter a URL for the picture. Whats the go there?
Regards,
Wayne

The change log file only shows what has been fixed and what has changed to previous builds. Nothing you need for the ROM
You only need the ROM, gapps and the recovery. Use the recovery rodman has mentioned in his post.
Insert image button? Via Tapatalk? Don't know what you mean to be honest.
Me Again, just above this message box there is the insert image icon. Doh... So now I have spotted the Paperclip icon above and now feel a **** for asking how to send a picture.. Sorry.
So again I thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

Why won't my phone show up on Odin?
For what? Install lastest Samsung drivers and make sure Kies is not running
Need to install a ROM without a PC
Hi maultasche, Can you help me with this, I have my wife's phone which is a S3 i9305 as well. The USB connection on the phone has been damaged and so the cable can't be connected. I was wondering if I could still install the ROM without the use of a PC. Can you tell me the best software I could do this with? Also I am not sure the best way to back up the phone, not wanting to root it.
Regards,
Wayne
hi,
what ROM youre talking about? Official firmware? If you have a flashable zip yo could do that with flashfire, flashify, rashr etc. Or via custom recovery. For a custom recovery is no root needed.
As for backups depending on what you want to backup (whole system including data etc. or just apps with apps data). Without root your backup options are kind of limited. You can backup apps and app data via helium but not every app can be backed up using this tool. You could do a back up via adb but not sure how complete such a backup will be. I never did that. Or a backup with a custom recovery again. Might be the easiest way.
