Hi Guys,
I have s3 GT-I9305, android version 4.1.2, baseband version I9305XXBLL5. Australian model for Optus.
I successfully rooted and installed Philz_Touch_6.19.3 _ After that I could do Nandroid online backup and confirm it is rooted.
When I tried to flash custom ROM today - I found I can't boot in CWM/Philz recovery mode. Then I tried to different version of Philz/CWM and TWRP but none worked. It keeps booting in stock recovery mode- I get message as shown in attached image.
PS: I have USB diagnosis checked but haven't unlocked boot loader?
to be specific: my phone works fine - boots fine - It is just I want to load custom rom and it won't go to custom recovery and I can't load custom ROM.
Thanks.
HELP!
can anyone please help me out here!
I kept searching and found some solution but none worked.
I used triangle away. - didn't work
Installed custom recovery without checking auto reset and started after pulling battery out. - didn't work
It still boot in odin mode and I can't go to custom recovery
i have the same problem too when i got my phone flashed 3rd recovery last year,
the stock recovery can automaticly restore itself after reboot~
but i found the solution here in xda,just flash a zip to unlock the self-protection of the stock recovery~
i will tell you the link and the attachment several hours later after my work,if you cannt wait, you can search it here,maybe you can find it yourself.

I had a quick search but couldn't find it. Will greatly appreciate if you can post link.
Thanks
even after you flash a custom recovery...your phone will automatically flash stock recovery every time it reboots...so that's why you will get into stock even if you flash CWM/TWRP or what you like.....
here is the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cf-root-cwm-recovery-ported-supersu-t1914394

the guy offered the post which included the solution.
try to flash the "Remove-boot-recovery.p.zip",it will work..
good luck
:fingers-crossed:
Done
Thanks guys.
Above solution didn't work for me but I got it working through rom manager App. I reboot to recovery through ROM Manager and it worked.
How ever After I installed Pacman rom, I couldn't use App as there were no Gapps and wouldn't boot to recovery. The workaround here was to press home, volume up and lock button simultaneously and release it after few second and it will go to custom recovery.
In the end, I am on Pacman Nightly 06/04/2014 with Philz touch recovery.
Hi,
I need some, actually a lot of help from you guys.
So the story goes like this, I rooted my Xolo A500s IPS using framaroot, then it was working fine for 2-3 Weeks, then suddenly System.UI stopped working, battery was discharging very fast. I figured out that it is something OS problem. So, I decided to flash a new rom into it.
So I installed CWM recovery which is still working.. and done all the steps like Wipe Data/Cache/System/Dalvik etc. and flashed tIctActOe into it . Installation was complete but when I rebooted it stuck on bootloop.(Was not proceding from the first Xolo logo) . then I tried with some other custom roms as well, once with formatting the complete sd card and putting color os and it's ips patch in it and installing it. but same result.
I tried connecting it with pc but it was not detecting the phone, SP flash tool was no help here. I installed Xolo USB drivers as well.
Now I don't know what to do.. If the custom roms are working on other same model, why not mine? Is there any way to solve it? What might be the problem?
Please Help.
Summary:- My Xolo A500s IPS is stuck on bootloop even after following all the steps of flashing.
Thanks......

Hello,
Are You Still Having The Same Problem?
If Yes Then Can Try The Method I Used And This One Works For Me Well!
First Of All Extract Your Rom.zip or If A Patch Is Available Then Patch.zip
Then Replace The boot.img Provided By Me.
Repack The Rom Or Patch.Zip And Transfer To Your SD Card.
Boot Into Recovery (CWM) And Flash The Zip You Just Packed.
Reboot.
Whoa Done!
*The Above Method Works For Me* *XOLO A500S IPS MODEL*
The Boot.img Provided Is Firmware S003 And The Roms Have S002 Which Create Problems Of Bootloop.
If You Have A Patch For The Rom Then Replace The Boot.img File In The Patch.
If No Patch Is Available Then Replace In Rom.Zip
Thanks,
Hope I Helped You.

Hi,
I need some, actually a lot of help from you guys.

Summary:- My Xolo q610 is stuck on bootloop even after following all the steps of flashing.
My phone is hard bricked and stuck on logo.
Actually my phone is bricked.
When i trying to flash the stock rom i can't .
There an error msg shows.
Storage type mismatched.
Pls help me if anybody can .....
Code:
I am not responsible for any damage whatsoever that may occur
In following these instructions. I've tested it on infinix X510
And it worked for me. Be sure to follow the instructions
And let it be clear that you are doing it at your own risk
Many people have been asking about aa stock Rom for X510 infinix hot2
And some have even bricked the phone or having problems with OTA install
This will be very helpful....
Requirements:
Mediatek VCOM USB (preloader) driver
SP FLASH TOOL Click here for tutorial
Or here for the video tutorials SPFlash Tool Full video tutorials
DROID TOOL
ADB AND FAST BOOT
STOCK INFINIX ROM FOR X510 Click here Mega
Update! ANDROID ONE STOCK FIRMWARE 5.1.1 Fixed to enter recovery manually Click here to download (Mega)
If you want to flash custom recovery for infinix hot 2
Please Click herek
Before I proceed further, the first thing you must do
Is to back up your present Rom (100%) with Droid tool
And SP FLASH TOOL if you haven't bricked the phone yet.
THIS ROM CAN ONLY BE INSTALLED WITH SP FLASH TOOL
HOW TO INSTALL
First, you need a PC, Mediatek VCOM USB Drivers and SP Flash tool
Do a backup incase things go wrong
Download the stock Rom and extract the zip
Open the folder and check for MT6580_Android_scatter.txt (Infinix ROM scatter file has 23 partitions while Android one scatter file has 28 partitions, open with text editor and confirm before flashing)
Open SP FLASH TOOL as administrator
Click on scatter loading and load the scatter file above
Select download and choose sub options of download only or firmware upgrade from
The drop down option under the download had these following options:
Download only: use this option when you are flashing the same type of ROM that is in your phone. Use this option for also flashing recovery or if you want to flash select partitions only
Firmware upgrade: Use this option when you are about to a different ROM from the one in your phone e.g. if you're using Android one ROM and want to flash infinix ROM or vise versa. Note; to use firmware upgrade option, every partition must be selected. You can also use this option on partially bricked phones.
Format All and download: this option should only be used for fully bricked phones
Click on the download icon when you are ready
Power down your phone, connect quality usb chord to your phone first. Keep
The phone in a place where it won't shake. Connect it to your PC. If you correctly
INSTALLED Mediatek VCOM USB DRIVERS it will detect and install the ROM.
Developers needed
Developers are also needed to help out as all my efforts to port custom recovery
Have proved abortive as it seems that the recovery image is protected. I've attached all the image in the ROM so please use the image to see if you can unpack them and create a custom recovery at least.
ABOUT THE ROM
Please make sure that your phone model is X510 to avoid bricking your phone
The infinix Rom is more of AOSP than pure Google that came with my X510
It has more features than the out of Box Rom that came with my phone.
"Ok Google" doesn't work from from the home screen you have to tap the search
Bar and say OK Google.
It has better battery optimisation about 30-40%
It can work for any most African regions and beyond.
I've also added the Android one stock firmware in incase you want to go back to out of the box Google stock Android one firmware. This is necessary because it's from this stock firmware that you can update to Marshmallow 6.0 once the roll out starts for 2nd generation Android one phones

I've been a bit busy on other things but still searching
For a way to get a custom recovery. The mail challenge
Is the fact that MTK Droid Tools (latest version) can not create a
Scatter file for this phone as MT6580 is not yet
Compatible with it. Am still working with the scatter
File from this Rom but haven't gotten the breakthrough
Yet.
Once I get a break through I'll upload it here.

Make sure you closed the back casing well.
Reflash the rom with the newest version of SP FLASH TOOL
Reflash it using "firmware upgrade"
If the problem persists, reinstall VCOM USB Drivers
Try another port/usb cable
And make sure the phone don't even shake while
Flashing

the phone is working normally and volume button is working in the normal mode as a volume button and I tried everything still couldn't get to boot into recovery from the buttons
I have to use adb reboot recovery from PC
one thing is interesting enough is if I flash the infinix skinned ROM not the stock Android one I can boot in recovery using power+volume up but still I can't boot into bootloader
It's most probably the ROM but which part of the ROM is broken I don't know

As par where the problem is coming from,
It should be between preloader and recovery2

That's the same link from Infinix website and that's the only ROM available for Android one. and since we can't create a scatter file from a fully working device so we won't be able to extract the preloader and flash it on any other phone .. by the way if you have the phone is yours booting into recovery and bootloader using buttons ?
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:-

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

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

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

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.

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.

Wayne

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.

So, is it working or not?
If yes, please flash the stock 5.0.2. Install Xperia Z dual recovery, there is a script that installs dual recovery with just one click. Just connect the device on the pc, enable developer options, enable usb debug and allow to do its thing.
When running the script select option 3, 5.0.2 without root.
After you install the recovery, you can flash any rom you want from there, just make sure to do the correct wiping before and after. happy flashing
Its working now,is there tutorial for flashing recovery

Could not find any tutorial, here is the manual though : http://nut.xperia-files.com/html/xzdualrecovery-manual.html
Anyway you can follow these simple steps:
1. Flash stock 5.0.2 ftf
2. After phone boots, enable Developer Options and from there enable USB debug
3. Connect phone to PC.
4. Assuming you have Windows, Download the Recovery installation Tool here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=ef9a86aff9041bf1734fc9e3afe75f084d655774
5. Extract, hit the Installer and just follow the instructions from there.
For more info check the official thread about XZ Dual Recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
If you need help ask, but make sure you quote me so I can get a notification.
Thank you for help

I cannot see any official CM builds, if you like any Rom in the forum, please write to that thread because I'm not really sure.
If you want to experiment, you can! Because if anything goes wrong you can always use flashtool
I saw some builds on cm website,is that official?

Yes, there are official builds but those are Nightly - which means they're not ready yet for everyday use but only as test versions.
You will not have a fully functional phone because there might be many bugs in those Roms.
Here is a Rom I personally use and find very nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-official-sony-lollipop-5-1-1-t3196237
