I had original/stock rom. I then installed Phliz Touch 5. Then turns out that I need Phliz Touch 6 to install 4.4 rom. I tried to do that via Odin 3.09 but get "FAIL". Installing any rom gives me the status 7 error. Any ideas?
I can't figure out exactly which file format you used. But if you have tried *.tar file than you should try to flash zip file of Phliz recovery using current recovery if it's working. I hope this will work for you. I always find this method most suitable for Samsung devices.

That file will not flash using odin. Use your current recovery to flash raw kernel and then use that recovery to flash kitkat rom.

I currently have cynogenmod 10.1 running on my phone (i9000). I would like to upgrade the version to cynogenmod 11. Because I get the error "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" I need to upgrade my clockworkmod recovery to version 6.0.4+
But when I try to download this at the official website, there is only an old version (2.5.1.2) available. Which also gives an error when I install it.
Can anybody link me to a 6.0.4+ version of clockworkmod recovery for the i9000?

I could send you a link to a flashable AOSPA kernel, which has the latest TWRP. Just let me know if you need it.
cmw recovery doesn't come as a stand alone flashable zip file on the i9000, it's included in the kernel, you'll have to flash a compatible custom kernel for your installed rom.

This is true in most cases. You should flash a compatible custom kernel making sure it supports android 4.4. You can flash using Odin or Heimdall. I recommend using semaphore 3.4+ or mackay kernel 0.611 (CWM).

Flashing a zip of another custom kernel would be better. He says that he has a Custom Recovery, so flashing a kernel would be better and easier.

However, just to be safer, you should flash via your computer as this will reduced the chance of flash errors. You're right that you can flash via custom recovery as this would be easier but I would prefer to flash via odin. I had always flashed via pc when I upgrade to a newer android rom. NOTE: You will need to flash a .tar file instead of .zip in odin.

Agreed, But it is a pain to get a zImage and to use Odin (I'd prefer Heimdall.)
Hi all..
My friend encountered this issue recently..
where the phone cannot be started and the firmware error appears.
I've tried several attemps on recovering it back.
1. it cannot go into stock recovery mode
2. it can go into download mode
so i've tried to flash thru odin:
1) philztouch custom recovery
2) stock rom jelly bean from sammobile.com
both attemps failed.
so my next move is to connect thru kies.
it failed again as it does not detect the device to do the emergency phone recovery.
so now im in the idea of trying to flash custom recovery again and a custom rom. do not know whether it works or not, but ill try.
any other solutions/ideas?
Thanks.
Where does the stock JB flash fail? Odin logs? Which version of philz kernel did you try to flash?

i cannot remember but it seems that when it comes to the "KERNEL" status appears in the odin box, it took a while n then fails.
PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.08.5.tar.md5
this is what i used to flash the philztouch.
any ideas?

If you cannot get the rom to flash.... You have to go through the philz kernel using odin.. Try to flash philz kernel xxlta version again using odin. Make sure you remove the battery for a couple of seconds. Then boot into odin mode. Use main USB ports and genuine USB cable.
i was on the Liquidsmooth rom, i wanted to go to FireKat.
i tried to go back to stock using Odin, using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/guide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156 and in the middle of Odin doing its thing it failed.
now im stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
so i downloaded Kies, and my phone isnt recognized.
what can i do so that i can at least get the phone working again?
Several options - first why did you not flash over recovery?
Second boot into recovery and reset.
Third if you can't get into recovery flash a custom recovery such as twrp and flash a new rom.
Hope this helps

the instructions on the first page of the FireKat rom say to "1. Odin Flash Stock ANK4" so flashing via recovery is not a option.
i no longer have a recovery, during the Odin flash back to stock it failed and deleted my recovery. only thing i could boot into is DL mode.
i ended up having the wrong verison of Kies, had to use a older version. the phone was recognized and i "unbricked" the phone.
Meaning install a custom recovery and a different rom and you should be fine

The first step is just to make sure u r on the most current bootloader.
Can you boot the phone into download mode? If so you can flash recovery and a new ROM.

You should be using keis 3 anything else will fail. If you have download mode Odin back to stock with factory firmware. Tekhd has a step by step on how to root. Download firmware from sammobile and ur back to business. Pick your ROM careful.

Happened to me once, seems dumb enough, but change USB cable when flashing stock with odin. If you have access to download mode, you have not perma-bricked your device. Might help. Might not
I downloaded several versions of CWM for S3 Mini (e.g. PhilZ CWM, 6.0.3.2, 6.0.2.7, 6.0.2.8. touch...), all installable via Odin. I put TAR into PDA and click Start, Odin show message that update is successful (after 6 seconds) but when I enter into Recovery mode, there is still native Android recovery.
My device is not rooted and it has original 4.1.2. android. I tried to change Recovery first in order to root it. What am I doing wrong? I also have Galaxy S3 and I can change Recovery which I want, so I am not noobie in custom recovery install procedure via Odin.
Please, help because S3 Mini is mystique for me

what version of odin you use?
I tried 3.08 I think. Have to check at home. What version do you prefer?

Huh, I tried also with Odin 3.09 and it didn't work. Odin notifies that file is uploaded but still I have original recovery. Any other idea?
Hello,
I've been stuck on this problem all the afternoon and evening.
Here it is : I got my mother's n7000 offered, which has never been flashed before. Today, I'd like to install CM10.1. I want to install CWM (PhilZ) in order to flash CM.
When I try to "apply update from sdcard" in the stock recovery (file: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-4.93-6-signed.zip) it tells me that E:signature verification failed.
And when I try to use Odin, to flash a PDA (.tar.md5), it get stuck on "NAND Write Start!!".
Concerning Odin, I found out it could be a problem that has to do with the phone partitioning and that I should flash a PIT file to resolve that problem. So I used Odin to 'flash' a PIT file. But still, this doesn't resolve the CWM installation problem...
Anyone has an idea on why is this happening and how could I get out of this mess?
Thanks in advance! Bye!
Up please, can anyone help ?
Thanks XDA community.

What worked for me back in the day was using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
An older version from here, for example << 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery >>
Then once that is installed, reboot to recovery again and install the new "advanced version"
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7000/ (4.84.3 ZIP)
Then restart and you should be able to flash the one you wanted.
Also, try using older ODIN version, I think I use 1.87 or something like that, definitely not 3+.
Thank you for your help, I succeeded installing Philz 5 via Odin 1.85, then updating to CWM (KitKat compatible), then installing NightOwl (Android 5.1.x with CM12) Beta4
Once again, thank you!
