Hey all
I'm posting this because i haven't found any posts similar.
I have a rooted galaxy ace 5380i and recently i decided i wanted to change my rom ( i was on Gingerbread)
So first i needed to flash a cwm recovery zip. I did but since then the phone won't boot. I can access recovery mode but it's the system recovery mode. I can only enter clockworkmod recovery by installing it. As soon i switch the phone off it puts it back to system recovery. I tried flashing different versions but they all came up with status 7 error Installation aborted... I also tried flashing roms directly but with no success.. Please help me out here, i'm in a lot of trouble without a phone..

Are you sure you are flashing the recovery for 5830i and not 5830 ??
Here are two posts I posted on another site. If someone could help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
Post 1
I have a Galaxy s3 mini GT-I8190L and I tried rooting and installing Kitkat but I've been having some issues.
Here is what I did:
Downloaded Odin and Kies (for the phone drivers, Kies was closed while using Odin)
Downloaded CMW Recovery and a root.zip file
Flashed CMW and placed the root.zip on extSD card.
In Recovery mode, backed up system then installed the root file.
Downloaded Root Checker and it said I have root.
Then downloaded slim4.4_golden.nova.20140630.zip and a gapps file and placed them both on the extSD.
Using Recovery (Vol Up+Home+Power), wiped data and davika (whatever it's called) and then flashed slim4 file. But I got an error.
I then tried cm11.0_golden.nova.20140823.zip which went smoothly and then gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip but in middle it stopped with an error and said something about process 7 (I think).
Anyone know what I should do? Would it be better to go through Odin instead of Recovery (using Odin compatible files, of course)?
Post 2
Changed to TWRP2
Backed up all data then did a full format incl. chache and davlik.
Then installed th SlimKAT file and gApps.
(I did NOT format chache after install)
Rebooted pone and saw Galaxy sIII mini screen like normal then cam SlimKAT logo (replacing Samsung's) but it just remained on the flashing SlimKAT logo.
I removed the battery and restored the phone using TWRP Recovery.
I then downloaded Nova Fusion's CM11 for s3 mini and tried flashing it but I got a Failed message. This happened with a number of Nova's files, including the latest (cm11.0_goldem.nova.20140830.zip)
I tried downloading the Odin version but for some reason it keeps stopping in middle (and I don't have unlimited internet and can't keep downloading files).
Didn't think this should be so hard...
Any help would be appreciated!
Please note, during part of this time I was unable to get into DOWNLOAD or RECOVERY modes. I ended up removing the battery and that helped, but for only one time. I had to remove the battery a number of times to get into these modes.
If you need more info, I will try to give it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

TWRP 2.8.0.0 won't start
Hello all,
I've tried to flash TWRP 2.8.0.0 from novafusion on my GT-I8190, never touched (without root or custom rom) via Odin.
It flashes ok, restarts, but when I try to enter Recovery mode, the Android stock system recovery starts.
I've did it twice: once with Odin 3.07 at PDA line, once with Odin 3.10 at AP line.
In download mode, I can see that system status is now modified from Samsung to Custom, and binary download is at 2 counts now.
Any ideas why TWRP won't start?
Thanks

Hi New Macław, would it be much of an effort to make the next TWR version workable for the Galaxy s3 mini I8200N ?=?
I understand that there is a different chip set used.

after it shows PASS, (phone reboots) take QUICKLY out battery (prevent system from booting) now wait 10 secs, reinsert battery & reboot directly to recovery using the button combo. in some cases the recovery gets allways overwritten if u get directly into system after a flash...
Hi! I messed up a bit with the TWRP installation, I flashed the wrong file. Afterward, I managed to flash the appropriate file and the phone works perfectly, but the Samsung Galaxy logo before the boot animation is now replaced with a
"grainy" image, and it bugs me. Any ideas how to fix this?
I've a Galaxy S3 mini GT-I8190 with CM11 (latest from novafusion). It had CWM recovery and I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0 with Odin. Starting the phone after flashing enters TWRP immediately. I also can reboot to TWRP.
But if I booted to cm11 once there is no way to get back into TWRP. I only see the Samsung logo and then a black screen. Now trying to boot the system will also lead to logo and black screen.
So the only possibility to start the system is to flash TWRP again enter it and reboot from there.
Booting and rebooting cm11 are working fine if I not tried to enter recovery before.
Do you have any suggestions to fix this behavior?
I haven't been able to flash any recovery. Is root needed? There is a CSC changer that runs when recover is started; I wouldn't mind loosing that. I am thinking boot, odin and recovery are locked. Was a good thing at one point when I flashed the wrong rom and it wouldn't boot to anything but odin and recovery. I've successfully flashed 2 different roms (except for the odin and recovery parts). The rom that failed had a recovery img in it. I've tried flashing a stock recovery followed right away with pulling the battery and then did the same with twrp several times. No change.
I just want to flash one of the 4.4.x roms. Can I still do this? I might be fine since I will always have odin(download mode) and recovery. I want a newer version of android because sound is screwed up recording videos in Instagram and Everysing. This is my daughters phone. I also want to remove some of the crapware. Clean Sweep is part of the stock rom??
How to unlock recovery?
Well I did manage to flash a rooted Rom. So I have confirmed root and did a few things that required root. It hasn't helped me flash any recovery. It and/or boot still seem locked. Is there something I can do about it now that I have root? I did try an app that claimed to be able to flash recovery, but no change.
I used a terminal app and wrote TWRP to the recovery rom location. Something like mmcblk0p21. Works. Today I will be going back to stock and hopefully recovering my efs partition so I can actually use this as a phone. I had wiped everything a few times. I still just want a rom where Instagram doesn't distort the audio or go green on video uploads.
thanksss!!
Hello. I am completely new to xda and I need help. I recently began tinkering with android. I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Centura through Tracfone. It was rooted using the poot method with SuperSU running as a system app and running stock rom, no custom recovery. All was well until I tried to install xposed. The installer would crash so I used ES explorer to move the xposed apk into the system apps. I changed the permission to rw r r, rebooted, and am now stuck in a boot loop. I tried going into recovery, factory reset, taking the battery out, still nothing. Could someone please help! I have no knowledge of cwm or odin, etc. and have never flashed anything. PLEASE give a STEP BY STEP guide on how to get back to normal!!! Thanks!

Try to get your hands on the official firmware of your device. The forums specific to your device is a good place to start.
When you installed Xposed it should have created a .zip file on your sdcard called
Xposed-disabler-recovery.zip
Flash it.
EDIT: No custom recovery = do what above poster said.
Sent from my HUAWEI Y536A1 using XDA Free mobile app
Firstly Close the Phone (Plug out battery and Plug in)
And Search Google for "(yourphone) recovery mode"
After You Started Your Phone With Recovery mode Do a Factory Reset
When it finish reboot your phone
Sorry for bad english
Do we keep all content when we flash the recovery?
Hi...
I have no idea how exatly how, but I might have bricked my galaxy. I installed LineageOS 19 and got the recent update and ofc. it didn't boot after (bootloop). I wiped it using twrp and installed the "first" version I tried again. Will boot untill I try installing gapps.
I have looked around and tried restoring using odin. The Download Mode screen says "unsupported version" in the cornor.
Soo now I'm looking for someone with a backup with a stock firmware so I can use that to get everything working again
