i updated my phone to xxki3 firmware via odin phone works great but i cant load any roms. i tryed and tryed and tryed to flash to different firmware but once odin is finished the phone wont boot. the best i can think is that in the xxki3 firmware there was a bootloader file and when i try to flash a rom the boot loader dosent match up witht he new software can any one tell me how to stock the bootloader to bell canada or tell me what im doing wrong?
You don't load ROMs in Odin, you load them in ClockworkMod Recovery.
Download ROM Manager from Market, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Then install .zip from sdcard.

You should flash back to stock ROM for testing.
Make sure your phone working well with stock ROM, then make everything again for custum ROM (Root, flash CWM Recovery, ....)
I updated to KP8 and have found it usable, however I fancied trying some MIUI. Unfortunately I am unable to flash anything with ClockWork Recovery. I initially tried and the update went through fine but the device said something about 'forced upload' after trying to boot. I tried flashing standard Clockwork Recovery via Odin and flashing the ROM again and it just stuck at the boot screen. I have tried a full reflash with MODEM, PDA and Phone with the KP8, KL3 and KL1 firmware. I am able to boot into stock firmware and it runs fine but as soon as I install a custom ROM zip via CWM I simply cannot boot. I have tried with both MIUI and DarkyROM HD zips. I have also tried flashing CWM with both the generic tar and the corresponding CFROOT file for each stock firmware and for each I get the same result. Sometimes it says 'forced upload' when I try and boot back into recovery and I have to flash the whole ROM (or CFROOT file) again to get a recovery back.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem?
As we speak I am running stock, unrooted KL1 firmware with no problems. I will be able to install CWM and subsequently boot fine but I know as soon as install a ROM through the 'install zip rom sdcard' method in the recovery menu I will just get a boot loop.
Thanks in advance guys.

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Followed by root and your custom rom .

I restored to 2.3.3 after bootloops in my ICS rom. But now when i go to CWM and select an option there is nothing but the CWM logo in the background. What did i do wrong? Since i cant flash a rom with CWM is it safe to use odin and just flash a stock ICS Fw
You don't have Rom Manager installed/use it by chance, do you ?
Nope dont use it
OK. Something has broken Recovery then (Rom Manager has a tendency to do that if you use it/have it installed on a phone with CWM which is why I asked).
If you're back on GB, you could try flashing a CFRoot kernel in Odin. That would probably give you CWM back. Or you could flash an stock ICS rom as you mentioned. Then you could root. Or not.
Up to you. Shouldn't be any dramas flashing a stock ICS rom in Odin tho, the probs with CWM won't stop you doing that.
Hi I have rooted my UK i9100 with odin and successfully installed resurrection remix previously. When trying to flash an updated version I stupidly forgot to factory wipe and now my phone wont boot, it gets stuck on the rom boot screen and i cant get into cwm.
I can get into download mode and from there have tried flashing another rom via odin (litening rom) to see if that would boot to get me into cwm but that freezes on the boot screen also. I tried to use Galaxys2recovery as shown on zedomax youtube channel but then realised that is done from gingerbread only. I tried reflashing "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LP6-v5.2-CWM5" via odin and then the litening rom again but that still hangs when trying to boot.
Is there something obvious I should be doing? ..I am (unsuprisingly) a noob
Thank you
you could have asked at the first time itself, before various yourown attempts ?
if you are able to get CWM now, try to install the ROM after data factory reset and all the wipes + system format from Mounts & storage.
if it didnt help again go to CWM do all the wipes and format system, and switch off and get into the download mod and flash a GB stock rom from ODIN

that's the thing, i cant get into cwm, or at least i don't know how to. Is there a file I can install from odin that will put me straight into cwm without having a working rom?
why do you wait to boot the phone to get into the CWM,
didnt you try Vol-up+Home+Power while phone is off
Hi guys, as topic says i cant boot after flashing firmware with odin. everything installs perfectly in odin it says pass! ad below in details it says success1/fail0. But when odin reboots system its stuck at booting recovery.... And never go further into system. I have downloaded 5.0 from sammobile and http://www.galaxys5update.com/galaxy-s5-stock-firmware/ but samething. I flashed it 2 times, 1 time from each source. Also after flashing i cannot enter into recovery. So i flashed the good old kitkat for now... can anyone explain why i cant boot after flashing rom with odin, does it has something to do with bootloaer. also i did not update through software update thingy/kies caue it says you cant downgrade but i see many article in internet also on xda that you can with odin. whats the truth.
