Hi,
I bricked my phone and I can only boot into download mode. I need a rom which I can flash using odin. Is there a way to use odin to install roms in zip format or do I need a rom in .tar or .md5? If so, could you give me a link for a rom in md5/tar format.?
Thanks
Jb leak here.
Don't worry, you're not bricked yet.

Thanks, but just to make sure I understand this right (I have the same problem) .. this will put the stock ROM on my phone, then I will have to root again, and then use CWM to put a custom ROM?
Is there a rooted ROM that can be flashed using Odin? I'm not too pick on JB or not, it will be replaced anyway.
Thanks again.

No need to flash stock rom.
Just flash Siyah kernel (.tar) via ODIN (This will give you custom recovery) then wipe data and flash custom rom of your choice. It will come pre-rooted and with its own custom kernel which you can then replace with Siyah again or other kernel of your choice.

when u have problem like this the best way is to flash a 'Stock ICS v4.0.3' firmware on ur phone using 'ODIN' to have a clean flash and booting of ur phone
then u can simply flash the tar version of 'Siyah kernel v4.1.5/5.0.1' again from 'Odin' in dwnld mode to automatically root ur phone and install latest CWM recovery, which can be used to install the custom rom of ur choice

He has no need to do that. As I said above all he have to do (If they want custom rom) is flash kernel like Siyah via download mode then flash custom rom in recovery. No need to flash stock unless thats the rom you want.

And that is exactly what has been advised. What's your point?
The user only has access to download mode so is assuming he has to use download to flash rom. It sounds like he isnt aware that he can easily restore his recovery via flashing a kernel. It also sounds like the user wants to use a custom rom otherwise he would already know that he can flash stock via download.
This is why its been advised to flash kernel via download instead of rom. That way once he has his recovery back he can simply reboot into cwm and carry on where/how he wishes like for example flashing his normal/preferred rom via zip like usual.
Read this thread again and see if he can actually perform a kernel flash just to get to cmw so he can go flash a stock rom.
Here's the answer: yes he could.
now...wouldn't it be better if he flashes a stock rom, take a long breath as he realizes he's not bricked (read the topic) and then flas a stock rom when he's sure about giving it another try?
read beyond the words kid, beyond the words
TheATHEiST said:
No.
He has no reason to flash a stock rom unless he specifically wants a stock rom. If he does then yes he can simply flash stock rom as normal but its my guess that he wants a custom rom since he was asking how he can flash a ZIP.
If that is the case then flashing a stock rom (.tar) would be a complete waste of time and it would be much quicker to simply flash kernel like Siyah and reboot into recovery and then even restore a backup if he has one or just flash a rom zip from card.
Oh and stop trying to sound patronizing, I'm 30 years old and no "kid".
@ OP
If you want a stock rom then read one of teh many topics we already have on stock roms/how to flash them.
If you want to use custom ones via cwm then simply flash Siyah kernal and then reboot into recovery and then do as your normally would.

You are the one that keep posting back. I was just watching a guy reading and comparing specs on SII and SII Plus, he's got a lot of spare time I think.
And I am a keybord warrior, but I made my point like 3 posts up. You just can't let go.

Sorry for the noob question. I just installed Rom Manager on my phone and it wants to automatically install Clockworkmod Recovery. Which is fine and dandy and I want that, but what if I want to restore to the original recovery if I have a hardware defect and I need to send it back to Samsung or Verizon???? Just curious!

You use Odin and flash the original recovery then flash the Stock Image file. I have those if you require them.

Decided to switch from custom recovery method to using mobile Odin for flashing, so the bootloader flash counter can be reset - kernel is also stock.
I can find threads for modems, bootloaders and kernels but the only links to stock recovery I could find was sticky threads and over a year old, so not SDS safe.
Does anyone have a recent .zip CWM flashable version please? I'm keeping the custom ROM I've already got, so don't really want to flash fully stock just to get the recovery.
Thanks.
Also, reading through those stickies some of the advice and files they link to are well out of date - noobs could end up flashing ICS if they follow some of them.
There's a safe stock recovery in the cf auto root tar. Maybe that'll flash via mobile odin?
Or take an existing recovery cwm.zip (example philz recovery) and put the recovery image from cf auto root or any official rom in it instead

Thanks, didn't think of that - it flashed in mobile odin and installed recovery perfectly, but removed root. Had to flash again on the pc to regain root, triangled away and updated the bootloader and I'm now at peace with my warranty information.
System is still modified, as it's rooted but I can live with that.

Yeah I have modified status only. Since I have an ICS bootloader (I don't use download mode) I don't have flash counter increased.

Is it possible to get rid of Twrp? I want to go back to stock bootloader, to check if
I blew the knox.
Best way is to flash stock ROM. Or you can flash stock recovery - you can find how to do it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426988
thanks man

I belive that is excatly what you do just reverse what you did the first time rather than flashing TWRP over stock you flash stock over TWRP
So I have a Galaxy S3 i747(at&t) rooted and with an unlocked bootloader. Currently running Cyanogenmod with TWRP recovery.
I'm trying to downgrade back to Touchwiz for the purposes of using an unlock code that AT&T provided me with (apparently it doesn't work with AOSP roms). Any chance I could safely use TWRP to flash the stock rom, and then use TWRP to flash Cyanogenmod back right after?
I've read from here and there that flashing the stock room with an unlocked bootloader and/or flashing the stock room NOT using Odin could brick the phone, etc etc.
Sorry if this question has been answered quite a few times, I've seen quite a few different answers regarding this floating around.
Cheers
You must flash stock ROM via Odin
After root again and flash custom recovery

Guess there is no way to NOT use Odin :/
Do I have to relock the bootloader/unroot the phone before I flash with Odin? Also, will it put the phone back to Stock Recovery or can I keep TWRP?
And one last thing before I go through with this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388065
Is this^ a possible way to go back to stock without going through Odin and losing everything? (Remember, I'm just trying to get to a TW based rom so I can use the unlock code). And if so, can I just flash that rom with TWRP?
I dont think that would be possible. ...u have to use odin
Try and backup your data before u do ..if it helps
Your phone may end up in bootloop if u try with twrp

Via TWRP you are able to flash backup of stock ROM. If you have it
