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.

Just rooted my SG2 via CF-ROOT and want to flash the latest checkrom,do i have to get the latest revolution rom kitchen on my phone before flashing the rom via CWM?Thanks!
If you have rooted phone with CWM, simpply download the rom from CheckRom's site, copy it into you cell phone memory, restart into CWM recovery mode, perform back up, double wipe then install the rom's zip file. in case of boot loop, try double wipe again and see if this work.
Thanks man!
hi, i've rooted my phone before 2 months. it was fine but suddenly it get hanged in boot screen itself. what i have to do. it will not go to recovery mode but only to download mode. so no data wipe i've its backups in pc whether i'll be able to flash it with odin
If you are getting Download mode and nothing else..better you flash your current ROM version again from from ODIN, then Root again, and put your backup on SD card (if those are backed up at the time of good condition of your phone) and restore.....
I dont have recovery package i think filehosting is blocked
Flash any stock rom and CWM and root kernel to match your old version as said .

u can flash litening rom through odin.
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,
i got a P7510 working fine, flashed to AOKP Milestone4 4.0.3 (or 404) ... today i was trying to revert back to stock 3.x, but ODIN couldn't flash all the way, it always stuck somewhere when flashing system.img
i tried many ways, with or without PIT file, no luck ... tried on many different version of stock rom, same problem
it can still go download mode, it can still be flashed to CWM recovery ... but when flash stock rom, it stops ... anyway to put custom rom to the internal memory to flash thrugh recovery?
by the way, if i go CWM recovery, i can mount every partitions except /data ... bcoz the partition is broken? how can i repartition it?
thanks in advanced.
thnx for watching, it is solved by just using another pc ...
weird, but yup, it flashed all the to the end, and phone just reboot itself into setup screen ...
so i thought i was doing something right by wiping the system partion in twrp before flashing LiteRom, so now the android folder is missing and the phone wont boot past samsung logo. is there any way i can just cope over the stock files/folders for the s3?
Download the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash with Odin.
Flash the latest stock firmware via odin on pc, root it etc, flash the custom rom straight over the top via custom recovery. Never erase anything as it isn't necessary. Any issues just flash the stock firmware via odin and start again.
