Awhile back i rooted my phone. Today i installed clockwork mod 4.0.1.4 manually through Odin v1.85. I backed up all my music, contacts, photos, and movies with Kies, my apps with Titanium Backup and my data and cache and whatnot with Clockworkmod Recovery. I then wiped my data and cache the went to " Install zip in SD" then realized that i hadn't even put a Custom Rom in there. So i then tried to reboot but then my phone died . I think i mightve taken off the firmware and really need some help please message and respond i can give more info if needed.

Hi All
I am new to flashing roms, I am having a huge difficulty with flashing roms through CWM, every time I have done so it has always left me in an end boot screen loop.
Can anyone please help, maybe give me a fools guide on how to flash a rom using CWM as I feel like a fool after trying it 7 times and still not getting it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 - I have flashed Lite-ning rom 2.2 using Odin
Help
What are you trying to flash? What rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Usual instructions are to have a rooted phone with CWM 4 or later on your phone .
Download roms zip and copy to phones SD card .
Power off boot into recovery and >> choose zip from SD card select install wait to finish booting done .
But all roms have differing instructions that you must follow to the letter .
So why are you using CWM to flash a rom that has no instructions to do anything other than flash with Odin .
Instructions are at the very beginning of Lightning 2.2 post and are easy to follow with pictures .

Looping can be caused by not wiping the caches in recovery or cwm.

To use cwm you need to download rom manager and use it to download and inststall cwm or download cwm to your sd card as a zip, it will be called 'update.zip' . Use recovery to install 'update.zip'.
If it comes back as unable to verify zip, then you are not rooted. You may also have to install 'update.zip' twice from recovery!
You must format system and caches then find, via cwm, your rom and install. I am using Designgears Cognition 1.13. There are updates to this but they are beta. 1.13 has no glitches. Remember to download this rom to your sd card before you use cwm. I think this may be a good starting rom for you. It is one of the few roms at the forefront of Linux and Samsung technology. If you try for anything more you may end-up designing the roms or getting confused! Other roms are miui, darkys, insanity and others which you may want to look at.
Please be careful with what roms you can download, there are many old ones and you need to have a rom which had the correct crc or area that you use you phone. Cognition has multi-crc's. Also, a problem can occur if you use Odin because you are using 2 hardwares, pc and pda. I once downloaded a bad rom and used Odin to flash and it terminated the flash halfway through. End of phone unless I use the usb plug and resistors to cross wire and get it into download mode.
Hope this helps.

To use cwm you need to download rom manager
You dont need rom manager to use or install CWM .I and many others have installed multiple roms just using a CWM and root flash .
I believe the OP is flashing a non CWM file and that's his problem or not following the roms instructions probably to wipe as you said ..
But he is not replying to his answers .
jje
No offence meant to the OP but it's scary the amount of people who cannot follow clearly laid out instructions from intratech, codeworkx etc.
No harm in double checking though BUT if you are not sure about how do to it then DO NOT FLASH!
In simple terms
.tar flash with odin by clicking PDA only
.zip reboot into recovery mode (CWM) and install from zip and select file
As another poster said it's always wise to factory reset and wipe cache including dalvik if going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 BEFORE flashing the zip file.
Feel free to correct me
I recently tried to install android revolution hd 2.2.0 and ran super wipe.I have put the rom on the sdcard too,so it isn't anymore and the normal bootup doesn't work,I am stuck in recovery and need a way to put that rom there to flash it..does the window explorer work in recovery mode?

If you have the stock Rom flash it via Odin.
Cwm sometimes mounts the external sd card but sometimes doesn't.. don't know how it is for others but it isn't working properly for me.
Go to mount and storage in Cwm for mounting sdcard.

I removed the battery because it was not charging and I thought I won't can flash any rom with the battery low,so I will seek more advices before turning it back on,so..
Wipe removed all my files,including stock rom,but I don't know if volume down + power + home button will work.Well I went into choose zip from sdcard and they all were there,I ran super wipe as it was said in the flash tutorial and it deleted almost everything,I am stuck into recovery and I cannot enter sdcard because there are no files anymore,such as the rom needed to be flashed.
If I mount sdcard n the mount and storage in cwm will windows explorer be able to put the rom back there? So i can flash it with.
update: volume down+home+power works perfectly,should I flash the rom with odin directly? the sdcard is empty too.

If you can get into download mode then you should easily be able to flash via Odin.
Do a search in the forum because there are many guides about flashing through Odin.

I will flash stock rom then I will try again to do android revolution hd 2.2.0 ( the step I missed is about creating a virtual ssd )
I will come with an update if the flash stock rom through odin works.
Checkrom comes in two versions,one is Odin flashable,flash that.then u are rooted after flashing
Next time u use superwipe remember to move the rom to EXTERNAL SD-card ,because internal SD-card is wiped.
Weird..odin exits after a while it says Please wait then it quits,while trying to flash stock rom,what's the problem?
I found a way to put the rom back there,but it is in sdcard,and I cannot enter it ( cannot mount )
How can I solve this from the recovery mode? I am still stuck in recovery mode or download mode..and the rom is on the card now,but cannot access to flash it with cwm
Why do not you just boot?
Previous rom is there but wiped and restored.
I do not think that superwipe was made to empty system from the rom.

The rom had to be put on a virtual/external sdcard,but because I didn't read carefully I put it on sdcard aslong with superwipe,so after I launched superwipe it deleted the sdcard files and the stock OS too,so it just says samsung galaxy siii like before it boots,but it stays that way..
I don't know how to get into the sdcard,cwm recovery says it cannot mount it,sdcard contains my rom,and because I cannot access it,I cannot flash it..I need a way to help cwm to mount sdcard,so I can flash it from there..
Otherwise I tried flashing stock rom but odin crashes,like I press start,then it says check md5 then Please wait,it gets stuck and quits..
Which recovery do you have? Is it the touch cwm?
Flash 5.5.0.4 1.5 from chainfire. Make sure when running odin nothing from kies is running in the background and make sure you do not tick re-partition.

It is not touch cwm..it is a normal cwm from what I have seen.
Can you give me the exact version ( including link )to flash with odin? I think it does not charge and I always get off the battery from it when I try something new and it does not work.

Then i need to tell you that you must flash through Odin a full rom then reroot and then flash again a custom rom of your choice.
Just make sure every time you flash with Odin nothing from Kies runs in the background. Otherwise Odin flash will fail or stuck.

What's the problem?
Its checking md5, that takes a few minutes.
Boot into download mode (volume down+home+power, press up when it says are you sure) then flash via Odin.
Its simple.

R: [Q] How to install custom ROM on Galaxy s2 - Android 4.1.2
Hello,
First of all you're just rooted so do a backup of your EFS folder
So find a ROM you think it's good for you,download it into your internal SD card,reboot your phone in recovery mode (vol up+power+home button when turned off) do a nandroid backup(it's recommended if want to come back to your old ROM) wipe everithing (data cache and dalvik) install zip from SD card choose your ROM and click yes,when finished reboot your phone and enjoy XD
You will lose all your apps and settings so if you want to save them do that with titanium backup but use it with care
Your photo,video,music and what else in your SD card will be untouched
You can find the instructions to install a ROM in every ROM's homepage.
Modding it's not for noob,so read read read read read read and read before,be carefull

Hey guys! After doing a factory reset on my i9300 today, I was restoring the applications and titanium backup prompted me to reboot the device, which I did. Once I attempted to reboot the device, it was stuck in the CyanogenMod boot logo. I tried to use the ROM Manager, but the factory reset which I had done before had deleted it, so my only option is the download mode. Tried using Odin to reinstall the stock ROM but this always fails! So in short, my device is soft bricked, I have no access to anything except download manager, what can I do to get my phone working again?
Try and flash a custom recovery then reinstall a new ROM

Woops, sorry! Basically if I try put a stock ROM on it, using a .MD5 file, it fails! Also, trying to put a .tar file failed too... Don't know if this answers your question?
Where it fails was the question .
Your phone can't get bricked.
1.Reinstall USB drivers
2.Flash a new recovery through ODIN or flash the stock ROM
3.Enjoy.
Try booting in recovery by pressing Menu+VolumeDown+Power
