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

I tried to root a Galaxy Ace s5830L using Super One Click. and it rooted fine. Then I tried to flash CWM and it failed so that I could not get to the Recovery Mod. Then I tried to flash Recovery with Odin....and now it doesn´t advances from the Samsung Screen....What can I do? I am downloading a PDA.tar I found in a thread on s5830i...is it ok?
DON'T USE STUFF FOR THE i MODEL!!!
5830 and 5830L are compatible. Other than that, you messed up somewhere, probably trying to install cwm recovery on froyo (android 2.2.*). Cwm recovery works for gingerbread (android 2.3.*)
If you can't get to recovery, you can fix it by flashing a new firmware with Odin in download mode. You'll lose everything in your phone, but you'll still have a phone:
1 Go to sammobile, download latest firmware for 5830 or 5830L (recommended the Spanish KTM which you also find in this forum). Flash in download mode with Odin 4.38 (lots of tutorials everywhere)
2 root flashing AceGingerRoot.zip through recovery
3 install cwm recovery
4 there you go!
Also, if you speak spanish, check htcmania forums which offer great support for 5830L model users in their galaxy ace subforum.
Good luck
Ok....I did everything you said and it was working perfectly....until I installed de CMW...the phone started a loop at the startup...What can I do?

How did you install cwm? There are some flashable zip to be applied through recovery. After you root, try flashing cwm4 through the regular recovery, then Flash cwm5 through cwm4.
Try starting over if you can't get recovery to work. Odin, root, flash cwm4, flash cwm5. Just make sure you got the correct cwm version for ace (cwm5 flashable zip says something like galaxy-ace-fix).
Let us know if it worked, I'll look for the links to cwm when I get home today and post them.
Guys I've got a problem with my Galaxy S i9000 with CM9. It stopped working after restart (endless loop on Cyangenmod logo) and now I'cant get to recovery mode. Only download mode works, so I think that I must to flash it with ODIN. And there is a problem, because I can't find proper CM9 ROM files for ODIN. And what version of ODIN should I use? Now I've got 4.38 and phone is visible - it's OK?
I will be very pleased for ROM files to ODIN and some instructions how to flash it propely. I've read many threads from morning, but I can't find ROMs
Hi there,
afaik there are no CM Versions flashable via ODIN.Use ODIN to flash a Stock firmware, then install ClockworkModRecovery and Install CM9 via CWM.
You should try to take Out your Battery for about 5 minutes and try to enter Recovery Mode.
About the Odin Version: If you look at different "howto use ODIN tutorials" there are different Versions "recommended" I've used multiple ODIN Versions eg 1.3 / 1.83 and every Version made a good job.
Give this a try if Battery-out for 5 Minutes does't take you back to recovery

Hello,
my tablet is "rooted" and the kernel is modified by cyanogen (9) and the android version is 4.04.
i come from BELGIUM
I download the original SamMobile rom "P7310XXLPP_P7310XEFLP1_HOME.tar.md5"
I used ODIN 3.04 in download mode, load the file in PDA
Everything is ok, no error message. but the tablet displays rows of glittering colors at the end of flash
It restarts normally original video startup samsung samsung + original logo. the problem is that it remains frozen on the logo!!
I tried again the same operation with the same result.
I can still access the "download mode."
What should I do? Reinstall another rom?
thks you for your help

Yes that´s right after booting in to recovery wipe data cache and dalvik cache and tablet will boot up just fine this is normal with stock samsung rom´s
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.
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.

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.
