reflash your rom with RSD...
ok your talkin to a noob here lol...ive just started rooting and all...
so is there an easier way to tell me how to reflash my rom with RSD...and what is RSD??
Rsd is a development software for flashing, wiping and similar etc for motorola devices.
And, you're *
And safe mode? Where? On the computer? You will not be able to flash a rom on Windows safe mode.
Cause windows safe mode launchs the os without drives.

Did you wipe before flashing?
Make sure you also wipe boot and system under the "mounts" option at the root of clockwork recovery before flashing

im at the recovery screen and dont know what to do
So I unlocked my phone using pudding to flash the 2.3.5 rom. Then I decided to rdslight back to stock(photon SUN-198_7). I don't know if I needed to flash stock recovery smg but I've tried that but my photon still won't boot past the boot screen. Any other methods?

Try wiping before flashing.
When wiping, make sure you wipe all the cache, davlik cache, and then do a factory reset. After doing all that, then flash the rom.
If that does not work, had you done a nandroid backup before flashing a rom? If so, try reverting to that.
The problem is that when I rds to sbf file photon SUN-198_7 its stuck in a bootloop.

The 2.3.5. Removes recovery. Install boot strap recovery, and use it to flash zip version of romracer cwm.

Are you seeing any messages on the screen when the phone boot loops? Can you RSD and fastboot? Are you getting any failed to boot messages?
I fixed it. Did a fastboot -w to wipe and then proceeded with unlock sbf. Thanks for the input tho.

Hi,
I'm on stock rom. But because of flashing a wrong zip (with aosp camera) my phone got into a bootloop. The first time it boots it go's to homescreen right before I have to press my pin. The second boot it doesn't go further than samsung logo. I tried reflashing stock ROM without wipe. Still got the bootloop after that. Is there a way to solve this problem? If not, is there a way to backup my sms and whatsapp in recovery?
Thanks in advance!
Wipe data and cache

Only way is to pull battery and enter android recovery to wipe data.
Hope this helps!

recovery....mount data, copy to pc, do what you want......copy data back
Hi all,
So I was trying to re-flash a friend's S3 stock firmware I9300XXBLFB via odin and 1 file ROM, everything went fine but when the device rebooted it wasn't back to factory, in fact all the data was still there as if nothing happened. So I shut down the phone, rebooted into recovery and did a wipe/cache and wipe/data factory reset, rebooted, this is when it got back to factory condition. My question is why didn't it work the first time after I flashed with Odin? Is it because I didn't tick on re-partition and had no PIT file???
That's how it should work to ensure upgrading/updating newer firmware doesn't wipe phone data. Otherwise, we will be very headache

So ur saying that it's normal that nothing changes after flashing via odin??? Why not just skip this step then and just do a wipe cache and wipe data from recovery???

Flashing using odin is to change phone firmware /rooting or any mods that are flashable via odin. Is not meant to wipe phone.

Ok, So let's say I messed up my phone and the software get stuck a lot and I wanna get it back as new, do I just do a wipe data/factory reset and wipe/cache partition from recovery??

hi!
to get that brand new feeling, you have to flash a stock firmware first and just basically reset to factory settings no need to wipe caches because that is already taken care of when you do a factory reset
i hope this helps!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
but the above poster Arsaw said there's no need to flash via odin to do a wipe...
Yes. First step to fix bugs is to factory reset which will wipe everything and start from scratch.

Quick question, why does Odin show the ID:COM field in Cyan and not yellow? Is it like this in the new versions? Also will Odin do the flashing process even if USB Debugging is enabled??
Yes, newer odin should show cyan colour.
Normally is it suggested to enable the debugging when flashing with odin. Why you think it will fail?

How do I do that exactly ?
Edit: Nevermind found it. Yes I can go into the Recovery mode / Download mode.
If you want to wipe all Data and Factory reset it, just click "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in recovery. If you want to install a new OS or a Custom ROM, just google your device to see if there are any ROMS available for your device. If there is, you can flash it and change the OS.
