When i flash the stock rom using odin, the stock recovery works. but then, when i update the CWM to any version, the recovery stops working.
It stops on the samsung galaxy ace screen which is the 2nd screen, with a small yellow dot on top left. i am not able to flash any rom. i have even tried using d CWM app, but it stops at d same screen.
pls help.
Note: the download mode and the stock rom works perfectly.
Any solutions to this problem guys!!!

Check that cwm you are using is for galaxy ace.
If is for ace still not working then Try latest CWM version..

This problem is caused by updating recovery to 6.0 by Shaan.
Noticed that this problem is not just for me. It's widespread now. Next try would be to flash recovery gamma tar from odin.

i tried flashing recovery gamma tar using odin, but again the same problem.
it flashed perfectly using odin but on trying to go d recovery mode, it gets stuck on d galaxy ace screen.
i think my phone's recovery files have been corrupted.
Is there any way in which i can add a new recovery file or something like that??

Heyyyy Rishal try the cwm-recovery-ace.tar.md5 file from this thread. Flash from odin
Tried.. But still no result.. Same problem..

Flashing through odin deletes every single file on your phone. So there is no chance that CWM 6 causes this. Also i don't think the problem is widespread!
If you can get me a logcat and dmesg i might be able to help..

Sorry if my post ever offended you. It's just because the whole issue started after flashing cwm6. Im glad you are happy to help. During which process do i need to get a logcat? While booting into recovery?(haven't tried getting a logcat of a boot process before)
Yes. Flash the recovery. Boot to recovery and grab a logcat as well as a dmesg.
Pastebin both. And don't worry. I don't get offended easily!

Hey Rishal flash stock recovery from this thread
And bring the zip for cwm 6 tomorrow.PLS
i flashed CWM 5 using odin, but that also gave the same problem.
Is there any stock recovery that i can flash using "odin"?
Aditya: u gave d link of stock recovery which has to be flashed using other recovery modes, which is not possible in my case as the other recovery modes r not working.
Try deleting all except recovery.img from stock rom.tar file

Its not possible to delete files directly inside a .tar file.
i have to extract the recovery.img and then change it to .tar file.
i flashed that file using odin but it stopped suddenly giving me a yellow triangle error because of which i had to reflash again.
now i have the stock recovery working again.
I am facing a similar issue. Please do post your solution here if anything at all works
That wasn't the right way to do it. Download total commander and then remove other files from stock rom.tar file WITHOUT EXTRACTING. Did u renamed the recovery.img to recovery.tar and then flashed as one file in Odin???
Another way is to push recovery.img through adb.

Could you please elaborate the problem you face and how it all started in the first place?
Since we were facing constant reboot into recovery problem, we flashed stock Rom entirely through Odin to get back stock recovery. However flashing any version of cwm would make the problem resurface. The only cwm recovery that works is cwm6 by shaan. Confused why??

Since the CWM 6 by shaan is working, i tried to install a zip through it. the zip was successfully.
but on switching on the phone, it gets stuck on cynogenmod screen(not the samsung screen)
The reason is that i cannot wipe data/cache.
on doing a factory reset, the log is something like:
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Error mounting /cache!
Skipping format...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs fa(the next thing is out of the screen) ...block/mmcblk0p2
formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure (something-something)
Data wipe complete
So this means that there is some problem with the cache, data mounting..
I also tried to mount cache and data using mounts and storage but it shows cannot mount cache and data respectively.
P.S.: Every time i get into recovery or flash something an error like this comes at the bottom:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log...(can't see the next part)
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log...(can't see the next part)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/las...(can't see the next part)
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/las...(can't see the next part)
So there is some recovery file in the /cache folder which is causing some problem
(recovery working is a progress. thanks adityabhagat95.)

My phone was running 2.2.1 Froyo. I tried to upgrade it to 2.3.6 using process mentioned here. http://androidadvices.com/update-galaxy-ace-s5830-official-gingerbread-236-xwktm-firmware/
The Odin completed successfully and restarted the phone. But the phone was running spanish language. I was getting an alert after every 3-4 seconds. But i could not read it as it was spanish. I restarted the phone and it went in boot loop. The phone keeps rebooting every 2 seconds.
I can't get into recovery mode but I can get to download mode.
I have tried flashing many ROMs from sammobile.com but none of them is working.

Is reboot into recovery working? If yes (don't tell me the problem is solved), in recovery format cache and data thru mount and storage option. (Maybe the data and cache partition are still using rfs. ) tell me if it works!

Flashing a STOCK Rom from Odin must not cause a bootloop. Reflash the stock Rom from recovery (again )and then reboot into STOCK recovery to wipe data ( factory reset or whatever its addressed as).
Yes I can reboot into recovery, but I dont think the problem is solved or else the other recoveries would also work (its just a progress)
I tried to format data, cache, system but all of them failed as it was unable to "mount" the respective folders.
I did not try d format sd-ext, as I thought it was not required...
There is surely some problem with d cache, data or system files...

Hey Guys,
currently i am using 806OC with revolutionmod3.5...
But i am facing instability with bluetooth.... sometimes i am able to send and receive files without any issue... but other times file transfer fails immediately...
I want to try the new v7 kernels by nikil.... which has a bluetooth fix....
Is it possible to flash only the kernel ??
So will there be any data loss in flashing the kernel alone ??
How can i flash the kernel ??
help guys !!

Yes, you can flash only kernel....No need to flash the rom again ....Just do it the way you did it before
Download the boot.img and flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img command.
Reboot.

Sooo, I got a problem with my Galaxy Mini 2.
First, I wanted to flash Cm11 (by TheWhisp), but something went wrong during flashing process, and my device bootlooped.
I tried to go into recovery, but it didn't work.
Than I thought it might be a good idea to flash stock ROM via odin. I did it once in the past, with a succesful outcomes, so I fought it will work again.
This ended with a bootloop, only change was the logo during boot process. Than I tried to flash recovery but it didn't change anything.
So my phone is in bootloop, stock ROM flashing doesn't help, and I can't run recovery.
Any ideas how can I fix it?

I have installed custom cwm v5.5.0.4 recovery with MtkDroidTools v253. Then I have tried to install 14 different rom. 12 of them successfully installed. but after completing installation (reboot from CMW) my xolo A500s is rebooting continually for all of 12 rom. I want to log in factory mode also but failed (After using MtkDroidTools its not working). And unfortunately I have forget to backup my original rom. I have tried spTool but spTool could find the device when I am in recovery mode and I can not power on my device without go to recovery because its always reboot its self. Can anyone help me out. Thanks
try to flash some rom using flash tool. or you can try to backup your friend's phone with the scatter, then flash it to your phone.
and ah, you mentioned MT6572. There are a lots of custom roms available there, you can just search it on the internet. download the zipped rom, modify it updater-script, then flash it on your custom recovery

Its turned into white with black vertical lines, same in the recovery mode, any suggestions for solving this? And I don't know how to make scatter from zipped rom of cwm to sptools flash-able. can you help me on this?

its nice to see the problem is solved. well, i think that's the problem on the lcd drivers. you might want to flash the original boot.img.
and about making a scatter, it's really easy. you just need a working rom (the one that's currently installed on your phone), then open mtk tools (its somewhere in xda), click root, then click on the scatter button.
you can of course make a full backup of your current rom using mtk tools
Some people facing accecibility issue.
Accecibility not turing on?
i made fix for this.
Just download zip file and flash in recovery
