[Q] Updated to CM from Stock Need Help Restoring

I have an S5830D that I flash an CM7 rom to (APOCALYPSE-FINAL), I'm now looking at getting back to stock. I'm having trouble getting my CWM restore back. Now after doing some searching I realized I would need to flash a stock firmware version through odin. I went out and found what i believe is the correct firmware version for this Koodo model (the name is S5830DTLKI4_S5830DTLSKI4_S5830DTLKI4_HOME.tar.md5) and tried to flash it.
Everything in odin goes through fine up to the point where it restarts the phone, Ill attach a screenshot of what shows up for me. After the screen shows up is when I get stuck in a bootloop where the phone model shows, then the koodo bootanimation shows followed by the samsung logo. I should note though I still have complete access to recovery, the downloader mode, and even the CM rom when i restore that backup. The fact I have access to all those gives me hope as I'm sure this could be reversed.
Any advice on how I can restore this phone to stock would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very familiar with samsung devices so please try to be patient with me as I realize I have gotten into something over my head.
PS Sorry about the glare on the image its the best I could do as it disappears quickly.

If you have complete access to recovery mode, try wiping data and cache after flashing with Odin. That does the trick for me when I have a bootloop after flashing with Odin.

Agreed... reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and then reboot.

So I've just completed a new flash with odin, I went in and flashed cwm then proceeded to factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and I even do battery reset. Every wipe goes fine except for when I attempt to do the factory reset I received the following error:
Code:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Even after those wipes it still bootloops but thats most likely as the factory reset didn't work.

Try not using CWM, or your SD card may be corrupt and you have to format it, I'm not sure though.

That did it, for some reason I had this thought in my head I had to flash cwm right away and clear stuff that way. Once odin finished I went in recovery and wiped data and cache through the stock recovery and it booted right up. Thanks for the help really appreciate it.

[Q] STOCK ROM and all went wrong

Dear Friends,
I was trying to root my phone. I downloaded a STOCK ROM using Desktop ODIN and after the ROM was downloaded, the phone started and I keep getting errors like these
Unfortunately maps has stopped
Unfortunately the process android.process.acrore has stopped
Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped
.
.
And so on
I have tried with N7000XXLRK_N7000DBTLRK_N7000XXLRK_HOME.tar.md5 and N7000DDLR6_N7000ODDLR2_N7000DDLR1_HOME.tar.md5 so far and I have also tried the Pre-Rooted ROM SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar
My phone is un-usable as of now. I cannot even enter the menu. All i have to keep doing is pressing ok on these error messages.
Please help. How can i restore the phone back to normal?

Ok, there is no need to open a new thread for this stuff. You already had one....
That is because you are doing dirty flashes. Do the following:
Reboot into stock recovery and flash philz kernel (just to make sure that you are safe)
Reboot recovery (you should have CWM now)
Do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset - wipe cache partition - format system - format data - format preload)
Reboot in download mode and re flash the Stock firmware with ODIN PC
Then you should be ready to go...

I recommend using 4EXT recovery. Also, try reinstalling the ROM.
But first, wipe everything (except SD card) and then install the ROM. Also, check the hboot.
Does it get stuck at the X logo? If yes, then boot to recovery and format boot + system, several times. This may be due to a corrupt boot + system file system. Then install the ROM.

[Q] Razr i - no possibility to flash custom rom or stock - bricked?

Hallo together,
I seem to have done something wrong while trying to flash the rom "RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16".
Here is what i did:
- Unlocked to bootloader using official Motorola homepage
- Flashed CWM (non-touch) recovery using "Recovery Flasher by LeBobo v1.7", USB-Debugging was on
- Rebooted into bootloader and flashed "RAZRiRoot2" to prevent Stock-ROM from overwriting the recovery
- Tried to install the Custom ROM using CWM, but it fails to wipe cache (stuck on line "Formatting /cache")
Because it didn't work, i tried to reset everything as it was before to be able to try again - flashed stock-recovery using the Recovery Flasher by LeBobo, booted into bootloader and selected "Factory". The cell is now just showing the "Warning bootloader unlocked" warning and nothing else happens.
When i try to select the recovery in the bootloader menu, an image of a Android laying on its back with an opened hatch and a red warning symbol showing a "!" appears and nothing else happens.
I seem to have bricked my device, because i cant't really do anything now - is there any solution?
I read through different topics but could not find a real solution to this particular problem...
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

It's not bricked
At the moment u enter stock recovery with that android and red warning sy,bol, u need to press bot volume up + downp. Than it will enter stock recovery mode.
Those are the following things u can do to get custom rom,
1. Flash another recovery, cwm touch, cwm non-touch, twrp. They all work a little different.
2. Flash the custom rom and wipe everything, The wip can take some time. sometimes it will be seconds, sometimes it will take a couple of minutes. Every recovery behaves different, and every flash/wipe too.
3. enjoy
If u really want to go back to stock, flash your stock JB firmware by RSD-Lite.

Thank you very much for your answer. I restored the stock rom using RSD Lite and did a clean install of TWRP.
Then I did a Factory Reset and started to install the custom ROM.
The TWRP is now stuck at "Flashing File 1 of 1 /external_sd/RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16.zip".
Is it normal that it takes more than five minutes or is something going wrong here? Is there something i forgot?

5 minutes is a bit too much. But that's the problem with this device. Every device behaves different and we haven't found out a solution too it.
At the moment i can't do much for you. I can only say try to wipe the partitions mannualy. Wipe system, data and cache. and mount system. And then try to install it. Maybe if that doesnt do the trick try again another recovery.
This from KTR-ROM
Code:
- Enter in TWRP or CWM
- Wipes required: data, system, cache y dalvik
*In CWM mount system must format before (Mount and storage -> Mount system)

Thanks again - that was it.
For some reason, TWRP did not automatically wipe the system-partition. It had to be mounted + wiped manually.
Not the custom ROM is up and running well. Installation took 35 minutes for some reason though...

Hi,
don't worry, you must flash your stock Ftf by using flashtool, re root, re install recovery,...

easier way just flash a boot img from cm11 with fastboot and when it restarts press up or down to get to recovery and restore thats it ,you will have to press off button under back case first and connect usb quicky though so it goes into fastboot mode though ie blue light,hope it helps
