Went to ICS, didn't like it, nandroided back to GB (Unofficial), when I got there the phone would boot but would hang up at the first touch. So I wiped, factory reset, reinstalled the ROM, no go. So I just odin'd back to stock, same problem, I can't do anything to the phone without it freezing and rebooting....AND now I've lost CWM and my counter has been tripped from Odin.
Any ideas what I have done/can do?
Please HELP!!!!!
Flash stock through Odin, re root, flash CWM again, flash ROM again. Flash country doesn't matter any more with the reset fix we now have.

I did flash back to Stock and I'm still having all of these issues, do you think redoing everything would help?
Yeah probably. Then once you're in CWM clear all caches and whatnot if you can get back to CWM

Sorry I'm lost now, what steps should I take?
Try following this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330 for getting GB back. If that doesn't work, post back.
EDIT: that's just the kernel, flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504999 with CWM then use odin to flash that.
wipe everything as if installing a new rom.

I've gotten CWR back on, and I've noticed that when I wipe it says 'Error mounting /sdcard'. It can't perform a factory reset.
FWIW, I went back to stock, put CWR on, nothing worked, finally flashed back ICS, and its working again. Lets hope it stays that way.

Hi all
I'm not new to flashing but I'm new to flashing cm7.
I odin back to stock jfd eclair. Root and Install CWM 2.xxx. I downloaded the stable cm7 and I started flashing. (after I wipe data/cache of course)
IN recovery, it said finding package, opening package, then my phone processed a series of lines and reboot automatically. On the startup, it says VIBRANT SAMSUNG, then GALAXY S CYANOGEN(mod) then the same recovery screen with many lines. It moved too fast into another reboot I couldn't read what was on the screen. And it kept doing this for quite 10 mins now.
Is it normal? if not, what did I do wrong? I can get into download mode and odin back to stock but I did it last night and I couldn't think what i did wrong.
Please help!
Hmmmm..... seems a bit wierd, try going into recovery and wiping and reinstalling with a new download.

Try reflashing cwm when your rooted, may have not flashed right
Sent from my Gewgle Phone via XDA App
This happened to me also, I went directly back to recovery, 3 button, and reflashed. Worked the second flash for some reason.
Thanks. I turn it off, get into recovery again, and re flash it successfully
Same exact thing happened. I have no idea how many time I odened back to stock trying to figure it out.
I did as you guys said, as soon as that loop began, pulled the battery and got back into recovery. flashed again and worked just fine!
same thing happened to me...i got back into recovery...i noticed cwm updated to 5.0.2.8 then i reflashed and all good...when i tried to flash at first. cwm was 2.5 ..maybe thats the issued it wont flash on that...has to be cwm 5.0
anyway getting ready enjoy some cm7 on my vibrant...
Hi Guys
I flashed the leaked ICS but hate it. Can I flash to stock GB via Odin? What about the baseband versions etc.., would it matter?
Sorry, I read another thread but it's unclear and I want to avoid bricking. Thanks
As far as what I've read you can flash stock from Odin or even use CWM to a previous nandroid of gingerbread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
If you got your Note from AT&T, simply flash this stock ODIN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
I went from ICS back to Gb cause I missed the tethering and it was easy. Just make sure you clear the caches and all should be well.
Thanks.. I was worried of the different baseband would have any adverse effect, but it doesn't sound like it will. I'll give it a try.
I Odin'd back to stock and I'm in a world of ****. My phone cant do anything, it just gets stuck on every swipe and reboots about every 5 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Mines fine..only baseband is different, phone works.
Before I Odin to stock, I booted into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache. Odin, then booted into recovery and performed another factory reset and wiped cache again.

When I boot into recovery I get the screen that tells me to use the up and down keys and when I choose factory wipe, and press power button, nothing happebs. If I hold it down eventually the phone shuts off. When i restart it, nothing changed.

I had to revert from ICS to GB yesterday and, even tho I am on Telus, I had success by flashing the pda-odin-att-stock.rar image
I can't post links .. I'm too new. But literally.. google what's bolded above and you will find the hotfile link.
It replaced everything (including the recovery) ... FULL system image. Solved everything and brought me back to 100% stock.
So yes, I lost my root and my CWM recovery software.. but it got my phone working again.. I can reflash CWM and re-root as I need.
After the install, wipe cache, factory reset etc.
I too flashed the stock ATT rom but like the previous poster, it gave me a phone which started up but wouldn't work. When I tried to get into recovery mode, it went to a screen with the recovery mode stuff at the top, but with a yellow warning sign in the middle and some words about manual mode, and it would not let me do a wipe or reset.
Here is what I just did that did work.
I flashed the recovery-i717-cwm-b4.tar file with odin. This worked and allowed me to get into the "proper" recovery mode to do a wipe and factory reset, as well as a cache wipe. I then reflashed tieh the stock ATT rom, and my phone now is back to stock.
Why do I have such a problem with recovery on my phone. It seems that regardless of what I'm flashing I have a problem with the phone rebooting into recovery. At least since ICS first came out, maybe earlier, when I'd flash a rom, alot of the time it would reboot into recovery and I'd have to ODIN back to stock and reflash. I flashed PB 3 without any problems but I tried PB4 and it would not boot beyond recovery. It seems to do it in CWM and Devil. I restored to a backup of AOKP and still recovery, which is currently Devil. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do? I also have a problem keeping it from booting into safe mode, when it does boot. Any suggestions?
From what I can gather from your post it really appears that you are flashing things wrong. First things first, read droidstyle's guide on hoe to flash rooms properly. Couple other notes to keep in mind, once you are on cm7, ics, or jellybean you cannot just go into recovery and flash a touchwiz rom. You also cannot three finger boot into recovery anymore.

I haven't gone back to TW in a long time. As far as flashing wrong, I may be but I'll download the rom, boot into recovery, wipe, wipe, and sometimes wipe again. Then flash rom. When I do ODIN back I push the stock EC09 I think it is (I'm on a different computer), Atlas 2.2. Let it fully boot, shut it down. Then push CWM fixed for CM7. Immediately boot into recovery with the 3-finger method (the only time I use the 3-finger). I flash THS ICS Version 2. Allow it to boot then flashed whatever AOKP is latest. What have I been doing wrong?
At what point does it get stuck in recovery, is it after you flash aokp or after you try to restore a backup?

Usually after I flash aokp, or another rom. If all I'm doing is doing a restore it's ok. Now I've flashed jt's JB and I can't keep it from booting in safe mode.
This morning after a full charge I booted into recovery to wipe battery stats because I was having poor battery life. I'm running JT's JB by the way. When I rebooted it booted into safe mode. I tried pulling the battery and still safe mode. It took me rebooting 8 times before it did not go into safe mode. What could be causing it? I must be doing something wrong.
It could be a hardware issue or corrupt files. I know this may sound obvious, but I would Odin back to stock a d follow droidstyles guide exactly and start over. Do a fresh install of everything and reinstall all apps. Don't restore backups or anything. This will give you some clues.

That may be part of my problem. I've read and re-read that and the only thing I'm not doing is checking repartition when I Odin to stock. When I do, Odin hangs up at the beginning and will not do anything else. It works fine when I uncheck repartition. I'm doinloading a new copy of Odin on a different computer and am going to try.

Are you flashing gapps in the same session after flashing rom?

Hi all, I am in urgent need of some help...
I got my GS4 when it first came out back in May. It was the VRUAMDK build. I used ODIN and motochopper to get it rooted, eventually got CM going and have been using it ever since.
Today I was playing around flashing different nightlies of CM11. I went to restore from a backup, but it error'd out and said it couldn't restore /data. I rebooted anyway and it hung on the CM logo for about 10 minutes. I tried a wipe/restore again and the same thing happened. I should note that since updating to CWM 6.x.x.x from (I think?) 2.x.x.x I hadn't attempted a restore from backup, but I know that restore worked on CWM 2.
So anyway I went to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Followed the instructions, similar to when I first rooted my phone, and flashed the 99% factory image with Odin. It "worked" ie no errors but upon reboot my phone hangs on the Verizon logo. It gets through the Samsung boot logo but will just sit at the Verizon logo. Not frozen because the logo is shimmering.
At this point I have no idea what to do. Help?

Yeah, I'm not too worried about having to go through all that.. I should be able to restore apps from my external SD, I would think...
Did you have the same problem? Completely soft bricked and needed a full wipe? I'm a bit worried that the 99% wipe didn't work.

How did you re-root/recovery after the odin to MDK?
I have the MDK bootloader, but I've never had to odin back to stock.

The same way as when I first got my phone. I Odin'd the pre-release MD2 kernel, used motochopper to grant root access and install SuperSU, Odin'd back to MDK, then downloaded GooManager to install TWRP.
*Odin back MDK kernel... Not full factory image. Just clarifying

what i always do is after flashing in odin. i boot to stock recovery wipe whole device. then i re odin and wipe again. usually gets me official status.
Try taking the battery out for a few to do a full shut down hold the power button after battery is out to drain residual energy in chip set.
Make sure you leave the sd card out during first boot after odining back to official and doing the factory restore.

Yes this will restore stock recovery. Do you have the engineering bootloader? If so you will have to flash back to the stock bootloader.
