Try installing recoveries from this thread
and before flashing the rom , perform Full Wipe (dalvik, system, data, cache)

CWM is outdated. Use TWRP or Philz.
I prefer TWRP though

If possible, flash this Tangerine 7.1 in your currently installed recovery
Flash this stock FOTAkernel too to make sure that there is no recovery in the FOTAkernel
Reboot your device. To get into recovery, use the volume down button when the lights appears. This will summon TWRP
Wipe everything you can.
go to "Wipe"
Advanced Wipe
Tick Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data
Slide the slider to wipe the ticked partitions
Go back to main menu
Flash the ROM zip
Go to "Install"
Tap on "Storage: xxxxxx" to select your storage that contains the flashable zip of your ROM and gapps. Assuming you put it in the sdcard, then it should be "External SDCard"
Navigate to the ROM zip, and select it
After that, hit the button "Add more Zips"
Make sure "Zip file signature verification" is disabled
Slide the slider to start flashing process
Choose "Reboot system"
Your steps end here.

Please use this thread instead of PMing me It would be better to ask such questions publicly.
To get yourself a persisting TWRP, kindly use the method on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-twrp-f2fs-support-xperia-sp-huashan-t3150230
Flash the zip and you are done. The zip is signed, so if you dont have any recovery but Cyanogen Recovery you can actually flash this.

Installing stock rom with cwm recovery

hi.
Is it possible to install stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 wit cwm recovery?
Will instaling stock rom with cwm recovery overwrite my cwm recovery? If I am rootwd now, will I have still root after installing stock rom?
If you install a stock Rom, you'll lose both your CWMR and root, unless you do it using Mobile Odin.
yes you can flash Stock ROM with CWM. n you have to select 'keep CF root' when it ask.
For detail guide, Download guide from last link on my signature you will find ' Update ROM using CWM' in New folder.

I must've skimmed the OP, hence the inappropriate reply.
My Note was never bricked BTW. I had flashed angelom's v1, not v1.1 or v1.2, and managed to pull back in time.
Your posts are always to the point and very helpful, too.

You need cwm from cf, with stock recovery can't flash any rom.
You are rooted already then get cwm first.
You said to keep cwm, means u have it, stock recovery can't b erased. Stock recovery hav limited set of function. I believe u have still confusion in understanding cwm, just read more.

I think you can not install stock rom with cwm recovery. But you can restore backups.
There is difference between CWM - its and application which can be opened when you boot in the phone, and CWM Recovery - you can access it without/before booting in the phone.
Sorry if my answer is wrong.

CWM recovery OR better term is stock recovery, which exist on all device(inbuilt stock function), which can be access with Vol up + Power + Home
This have limites set of function, Just wipe cache, n wipe data.
Niether stock Nor custome ROM can be flashed
Nither backup Nor Restore is possible with it.
For this fuction, you need to have CWM application, which can available only if you have your device rooted. If tou have flash CWM, then you can access it with same method(three keys), but menu will be more advanced.
Hope it should be clear Now.
n7000 stock android with cwm installed
Hello there,
I wanted to install kitkat on my note1, n7000. I rooted the phone with philz cwm6 ddlsc. Everything went good. I then tried to install the kitkat 4.4.4 and it keeps giving an error and does not install. Later doing some research i figured i need a version of 6.4 and above of cwm in order to install 4.4.4. So I decided to leave all this and go back to stock 4.1.2. I did not unfortunately create a backup. Now that im trying to install it through odin the stock android, odin does not detect the phone. I have wiped off cache, user data and dalvik cache. Everytime the phone is booted it goes to cwm menu.
Please help me install the stock android and remove cwm/root.
Your help is much appreciated.

Although this is the note 1 forum but yes usually that's how it works. If you backed it up using cwm, then restoring should also work. You will need to do a factory reset 1st.

Make sure that rom is completely downloaded.
CM11 is very special. You need to flash the kernel, the bootm.img that is inside the ROM's .zip. Flash it and then flash the ROM.
Again, if you are gonna flash another ROM first flash the correct kernel, let's say DooMLoRD's kernel for stock based like eXistenZ or the boot.img from CM10.2 ...after that you can flash the proper ROM
Just CM11 needs this.

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion and re-do again what you've done
No. SUS and PC Companion only work with locked bootloader. But FlashTool supports unlocked bootloader. Try repairing with FlashTool.

[NEEDED] TWRP recovery for Galaxy Tab 7 P1000

Hello,
I have searched and didn't find TWRP custom recovery for GT-P1000.
The TWRP site doesn't support GT-P1000
I have rooted my device, and flashed CWM recovery.
I want to flash TWRP recovery instead using Odin or "install zip from sdcard"
Anyone can help me find this custom recovery.
Thanks
Well, you can get it automatically if you flash this Omni KK ROM on your CWM recovery, after that don't forget to flash SuperSU.zip
OMNI ROM ---> http://dl.omnirom.org/p1/
SUPERSU.ZIP ---> http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip?retrieve_file=1

[RECOVERY][T,TL,TX,V][LB]PhilZ Touch CWM Advanced Edition

Known CWM recovery, greatly improved with touch ui and many useful features by Phil3759.
Original Xperia T thread
Compatible with Rom Manager (reboot recovery, backup, install,...)
As the title says, this recovery has some needed modifications included, so you can use it with unmodified stock kernel (locked bootloader).
Main LB script with logging was created by cray_Doze.
My modifications are firstly based on recovery from davidmarco, then I found big help and better (PhilZ) recovery in [NUT]´s thread and that it´s better to unmount selinux fs so it cannot be redefined and checking files is probably stopped (?) in recovery, so I´ve had to use init binary that does not need selinux.
Installation:
1. Root your device
2. Install modified Flash Gordon app (no busybox installation needed)
3. Download this recovery to SDcard
4. Launch the app and allow it root access
5. Tap "select zip", find the zip, "flash now"
6. Don´t try to reboot with the app, but do regular reboot in power menu
Upgrading from 4.1 with CWM for LB to stock 4.3:
1. Download stock 4.3 rom zip to SDcard
2. Download this recovery to SDcard
3. Reboot to 4.1 CWM and flash 4.3 rom
4. Flash this recovery (optionally flash SU too)
5. Power off the device
6. Flash 4.3 ftf - tick all wipes, and exclude system from installation or you will do it all again from scratch
Or if you already have some recovery on 4.3, just flash this in recovery.
Caution:
Don´t try to flash rom zip made in the recovery. It is too big. It goes first to tmpfs, which has only around 433000kB.
System will be formated, but then can´t be extracted from zip and copied to /system. No /system = you will do it all again from scratch
Changelog:
v1.7
- proximity sensor fix (with big help of steveboss and his V)
- reboot recovery working from all applications (quick settings, rom manager, recovery, etc.)(tested on T)
Download:
T4.3_PhilZCWM_6.0.4.7_LB_v1.7.zip

Thanks DaRk-LorD and steveboss for testing. If anything won´t work, PM them. ... Joke

You can use backup and restore, this is a working version, just don't flash an update.zip made with the recovery (there is an option for creating that). For SuperSU CWM flashable zip look at the download section of the original SuperSU topic

Keep the previously installed system with recovery in your phone.
So only don't tick system (exclude system from ftf flashing). Everything else leave ticked. It's also better to wipe data between 4.1 and 4.3.

Had this the other day trying to upgrade. If you can't get into CM, Use sony pc companion to bring it back - repair option
tested on TX 4.3 official stock system
and confirmed it works
both externel and internal storage can be used to flash
:highfive::highfive:
I found one bug (your mac address and other things are not restored after factory reset). I have it already fixed. I will upload fixed version today or tomorrow. There should be no need to do factory reset again, after installation of the fix.
First post updated with fixed import from TA after factory reset - 1.4 version.

I think theres a confusion here, in flashtool you tick to wipe data, appslog and cache but below that is the list of things to exclude from flashing so if you tick on it you will not flash that part of the rom so if you tick everything here but dont tick system, everything will be excluded but system won´t son the only thing you are flashing is the system folder and so thers no kernel you´ll have a bootloop
Oh, that looks like the reason. Sorry. I will edit the OP.

And wiping system and the cache won't that erase apps?
