Well let me start off by saying that I "updated" CMW through ROM manager. Big mistake it was actually a downgrade after using CMW Touch. So I decided to change it back, but for some reason the version that I was directed to use from ROM Manager had problems seeing files and directories.
So...I couldn't get access to the zip to flash again.
With my OCD and having a ton of useless directories and files already on my phone I said screw it, mounted my USB and copied my files over to my PC and then FORMATTED the entire phone.
Then installed CMW Touch through Odin v1.85. Success...
But my phone is stuck at the boot logo. Is there a way to flash a custom ROM from this point via Odin?
I am NOT worried about the flash counter. I just want my phone fixed

I thought I could mount usb storage there and drag over a ROM and then flash it, but my computer isn't detecting it when it's mounted, or I'm doing something wrong...?
Edit: I wanted to add the fact that my phone is showing up in my computer's device manager as Samsung Android ADB Interface...So is there some commands I can do through ADB to push a ROM onto my phone?
Thanks for your help Joe.

Trying adb push 'ROM' /sdcard right now....
Well I got the ROM onto my card, but when I flash it I'm getting an error Status 7....
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I717" ||, then it repeats and says quincyatt.... I'm thinking since this in the nightly build of CM9 that my device should be named quincyatt and it's not since I don't have CMW for this ROM???
No one?
I would use either strategy:
1. Get the Gingerbread Odin 1Click package. This will install driver, Odin, then format and flash GB rom.
2. Use Kies ICS upgrade site, go to tools, then do an emergency firmware installation.
Then flash CWM kernel for recovery.
If you can push twrp to you phone, then flash version 2.2.1.1. You will be able to install cm9 successfully through that recovery. If you don't want to do that, then push a different ROM to your phone and flash that.
Excuse me for diverting the thread a little, but . . .
@froidroid:
I don't use that recovery -- what is the difference/advantage of it over CWM? TIA
I would say just a personal preference ultimately. The reason I suggested it for him was so he could flash cm9. Cm9 won't flash with his current recovery. I would definitely suggest giving it a try. The UI is amazing and there are a few more options that aren't available in cwm.
Did I mention a nandroid takes less than 5 minutes? Best part imho
Thats a gooood selling point.
At this point I'd say flash stock through Odin and start over...as long as you've copied over your important files...

LoL Thanks guys, I got it.
What I was able to do was push the newest version of CWM onto my phone via ADB. But it was tricky because it came as a stand-alone file (recovery.img) so I did some searching to find an actual Update.zip for CWM and replaced the recovery.img in that zip with the new recovery.img
Then pushed with ADB (adb push update.zip /sdcard) and updated

first of all I'm really stupid when it comes to flashing this roms.... and even though i know that i flashed a rom i think the name of the rom was r3, which was suppose to be the software for the FFC of the vibrant. i fu.. up really bad and now my phone is stuck in the GALAXY S gt 19000.... knowing tht i might not be able to install the flash correctly i did a nandroid backup... but when i go into system recovery(pressing the up and down button and the power) i only get 4 options the reboot system, reinstall packages, delete all user data, and delete cache data.... but i dont know how to get into the nandroid recovery....
What your doing is entering stock recovery. You need to enter clockwork recovery (nandroid is a feature of clock work). You can enter clockwork recovery through stock by selecting "reinstall packages." This should bring you into another recovery with more options. Select nandroid/back up and restore. I believe the option is not named nandroid in the new update in clockwork recovery in order to avoid confusion....

ahhh and my volume button are al messed up the up button is down now and the down button is up now... did i just broke my phone???
It looks like you installed Eugenes newest froyo which wipes everything on your internal memory so that means your CW update zip file and your nandroid backup was deleted as well.
Same happen to me So I just started all over again flashing back to stock with odin and going with Bionix fusion, it also have FFC support as well.
P.S.your phone is not broken, you just need to decide where you want to go from here,
im trying to do that my problem is that i have a mac and i cant really find a video or a guide that shows me how to flash odin using a mac..... do u happen to know how to???
wow, dont know how to do that.
Do you have adb set up? If so you can use android commander to transfer the CW udate zip to your internal sd card. I can upload to for you if you need. Once you have that you can The 2.1 Vibrant kernel then flash any rom of your choice.
Or find a freind that had a pc and use odin from there.
Did you give the phone enough time to boot up? Give it at least 10min.
yes i downloaded the adb. i have my phone in download mode. i dont know where to get the android command...
sorry dude, just read its for windows only. Hmm!

I get the same message after backing up the ROM in CW. I do however see a recovery-update.zip file inside Clockworkmod folder on SDCard.
How come the update.zip file is not placed on the root after the ROM backup is complete? What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE:
I renamed the file to update.zip and placed it on the root. Tested and worked!
The ROM on my old phone crapped out and i ended up getting a new phone because i had an upgrade.
Well i need info off of it, but can't remember what ROM i had flashed last.
It's a choice of 2-3 different roms.
So i was wondering if there's a way to tell from bootloader or recovery what rom i had on there so i can wipe cache/dalvick and then dirty flash the rom back over it to try to retrieve my data.

Could you be a little more specific about how your old phone "crapped out" and how you intend to use it to recover your data if it's not working? Why do you think a dirty flash is going to work if the current ROM isn't booting?
Assuming you can get into recovery you could flash Aroma File Manager and use it to navigate to the /system directory, then copy build.prop to the SD card so you can view it from a PC and that should tell you what ROM was installed. Since most custom recoveries support ADB you could also use that to pull build.prop to a PC but unless you are familiar with using ADB I think the AFM method is easier.

Hi everyone,
An acquaintance has brought his gf's i9300 to me because he needs help. Him and his gf went on a trip somewhere. She took a bunch of photos. She stored them on the internal storage rather than the SD card. At some point, she tried to apply an OTA update and now it's stuck at the Samsung logo. I believe the update got corrupted or maybe she let the phone die while it was applying... Something obviously went wrong. He's hoping I can get it to boot without losing the pictures.
I know I can flash an Odin image but I'm pretty sure that will wipe what they want. There is a thread here on XDA that says some Odin images won't erase data, but the files are out of date (they are ICS).
I did go in to recovery and try to apply the update.zip from cache but it failed.
Can anyone just provide me with the update.zip of the most current OTA for the Hong Kong version of the i9300?
One other thing to note, when I go in to recovery it says it has CSC XFE. According to another XDA thread, that's supposed to be the region code for South Africa.
Any help is appreciated.
Pretty sure all roms don't wipe data on sammobile.com but further confirmation needed.
Anyway, sammobile.com is where you need to be

Sam Mobile does not have the Hong Kong ROM.
The unified toolbox requires the phone to be booted to Android.
I did download the ZSDLL1 HK based firmware that can be flashed in Odin, but I'm not going to flash it unless I know for a fact it won't erase their pictures. It would be awesome if I could just download the update.zip, throw it on an SD card, and apply it from there.

If you've got access to Recovery you can try to do a nandroid backup before trying anything else, then I think you may be able to get the pictures from the data folder in the nandroid.
The phone is stock, non root. Everything is stock. It's his gf's phone. Are the S3s sold in Hong Kong bootloader unlocked from the factory? If so, I might just unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery like twrp, mount the internal storage as a drive, and copy the files over. Though I think I'll run in to issues trying to mount to the PC due to lack of USB mass storage support...
There are some data recovery apps on play store, and they are fairly effective, so even if the phone gets wiped you should be able to recover most pictures......just remember to try data recovery app before you start filling up your internal sd as it will only recover deleted data that hasn't been overwritten
There's no way you can apply an update.zip now. The process failed, breaking the os. Its all or nothing I'm afraid.

Also if you do flash a custom recovery, you can use the unified toolkit to perform an adb pull (option 11) whilst connected in recovery mode if all else fails.

Try this:
Download the .tar version of a custom recovery (I recommend PhilZ's CWM recovery). Flash it via Odin. This won't touch the data partition.
Now you can try and see whether you can connect the phone to the computer, mount the internal sdcard, and transfer out the data required.
If that doesn't work:
Using the custom recovery, try flashing the update.zip again. Else, download a stock firmware based custom ROM (maybe something on the smaller side, such as Wanam's de-bloated/light custom ROMs), put it into your external SD Card, and flash it using the recovery. Wipe the cache and dalvik cache, and reboot your phone.
Now, you can take the pictures out, onto your computer.
To flash back to a completely stock setup: first use Triangle Away by Chainfire to reset the binary counter, then get into download mode and Odin flash your region's firmware to get back to stock.
All the best man!

Yeah that looks like the best course of action. All that matters is trying to get the pics. I think after that they don't care if I reflash via Odin. Of course, if it's impossible I'm just going to tell them and offer to restore stock firmware which I've already downloaded.

These sound like a great idea. I'm already familiar with recoveries, I have Odin, I have the triangle away apk already (although it requires root).... I mean I myself have a USA variant of the S3. I'm pretty sure mounting in recovery is the only chance.
My only worry is that I seem to remember not being able to do this with my Verizon variant for some reason...
Also, if you can help me find the update.zip that would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
If you specifically use Philz recovery (link in my signature) that @Erahgon suggested, if you go into "Mounts and storage" you can use "mount /data".
From here, (assuming you're set up to use adb) you can use the following commands in windows cmd or Linux terminal:
Code:
adb pull /data/media/DCIM c:\users\myusername\Desktop
The "Mount /sdcard" options in recovery wont help.
OR, if you have an external SD card, you can follow the Instructions for Philz recovery to put aroma filemanager on the sdcard. This allows you to use a file manager from inside Philz recovery. You action this (once you have the zip in the correct place on external sdcard) Philz Settings > Aroma File manager.
Within there, you'll be able to copy the DCIM folder to external SD easily.

Wow thanks for this idea. But I went ahead and took care of it in a more roundabout way, which I'll detail for a future searcher.
I flashed Philz recovery. Then I flashed a ROM that was basically stock rooted. Then I gave the phone back. I didn't want to keep their phone too long. I figured that she got her data and hopefully maybe the inconvenience of having to restore apps along with this incident would teach her to store pics on an external from now on. The ROM also came with a 50 GB dropbox bonus, so I told them to sign up for that and start using it.
I remembered through research that custom recoveries will leave data/media alone (or internal sd) while still erasing all user apps when doing factory reset. And installing custom ROMs also leaves that alone. It took me numerous flashes, but I already had triangle away so I used that. The counter is unfortunately stuck at 1, but I asked first if they planned on keeping the phone or getting warranty service. They planned on keeping it, so I just told them if they ever needed to warranty it or something to just bring it back to me.
I also made sure to set SuperSU to deny root by default (except triangle away)... There was no way I was going to leave that power unchecked in her hands.
Thank you again for the help, everyone. When I get a chance I'll report my own thread to get it locked.
If any future searcher finds this and has questions, PM me.
Yup new bootloaders increment flash counter back to 1 every boot.

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well.
My Galaxy Tab 10.1 was running all fine with this rom since months: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074202. Recently, someone was using it and it suddenly rebooted, hanged at the CM 10.1 boot screen ( the spinning circle ).I tried rebooting it again several times but to no avail.I booted to recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache.And it still won't work.I suspect it happened because of my memory being too less or completely exhausted.
Anyway, thanks to one of my friends, I was able to recover the files from the /data/media/0 directory via adb pull.However it wont push (adb push) the rom file.I didnt have the zip file of the rom on the tablet.I guess its because of the memory being low.Anyway.I tried wiping data/factory reset.And the recovery stuck at formatting data.(Clockwork mod 6.0.3) (and the recovery would reboot when i tried to push the file).
What should I do now? Should I change my kernel and recovery and try wiping and adb pushing it then? or should i first clear the memory via some adb command ( that I am not aware of and would be thankful if someone told how to delete a directory or something ).
I would be really really thankful if you could help me on this.
Thanks in advance ( Eagerly waiting )
P.S: The kernel i used with that rom was the one that came with it along with everything else.
First of all, thank you, I'm doing well.
You can try other ways if you can think of one first. The only thing I can think of at that point would be to flash stock ICS using Odin. This would be the last resort if other methods don't work. But the fact that you can't even wipe data or adb push means that flashing stock ICS is the only option left.

If the stuff is on SD card then you should probably delete some useless files to make way for the ROM. Its quite big actually, around 400mb++ due to the aroma that fits everything in the zip. There is a command where you can check free memory via adb, but I'm not so good with bash. You don't need to flash ICS kernel. Flashing the stock ROM will automatically flash the kernel(and stock recovery) as well. Once you've flash stock ICS, let it boot up and manually transfer the ROM to your tab. Just drag and drop from PC to tab.

Extract the stock ics zip, you will get a .tar.md5 file. Flash it via the PDA slot in Odin while your tab is in download mode. About the tab not detected, did you install the drivers for your tab?

they always flash some recovery with Odin before rooting. With stock recovery
i get these errors.
"Unknown volume path for /sdcard" so i simply can't install recovery from original named zip file.
Mr. google doesn't really help with the subject
When trying to

It simply says that action is denied, probably because i haven't rooted the tablet.
Instructions on dev forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777161

So is it possible to do this straight from stock recovery or do i have to pull some

First flash custom recovery(twrp) with odin. Then using your custom recovery flash your root.zip or whatever the rooting zip file is named. That will get your tab rooted. But you should be able to install your custom rom with just the custom recovery installed as the rom is already rooted.

So really only way is to flash custom recovery with Odin. After that rooting is kind of useless,
most rom installation scripts have root access or superuser integrated.
And no developer doesn't provide recovery that is flashable via odin so that's why i was asking
if it is even possible to do from stock recovery.
Any experience of using heimdall with p4?

This wasn't anything i asked. It's good to be helpful, but seriously didn't give even one bit of information...

You asked for a recovery that could be flashed with Odin, so I gave you that link.

Finally straight answer. Yes, very happy.
Just for the record they can be flashed through stock recovery. Little harder than expected, but possible.
When mounted you can get to root folder and simply rename your zip file to update.zip and place it
in to /sdcard/ directory. In my case internal storage of the phone was found at /mnt/sdcard/.
Should also work if update.zip is placed in to /cache/ directory of the phone.

I didn't ask recovery that could be flashed via odin, but i did ask if anyone had experience of
using heimdall. Perhaps that qualifies as odin in some universe.

And no developer doesn't provide recovery that is flashable via odin so that's why i was asking
if it is even possible to do from stock recovery.

Yeah, i did miss comma there, at the "and no, developer..." but still can't see where i asked link for recoveries. Still repeating question
if it can be done from stock recovery.
We could argue about semantics all day here, there just ain't any point in it. Got my answer.
