tried to do the [GUIDE] Simple method to return AT&T Galaxy Note to full stock and it literally messed up my phone. Everything is crashing left and right. I need to hurry and fix this to bring my phone in to get replaced since my sim card slot is now dead. I did all the steps except entering ADB command because it doesnt list how or where exactly. It was crashing way before this. I had team perfection ICS rom on this before which worked great. I got desperate trying to return to stock via kies right now but still says CUSTOM Binary DL: YES(2counts).
I need a better way to fix my phone and return to stock because the other method didnt work for me and i did it twice step by step. I have done a few roots and custom roms before and never had a issue.

Lol. Figured op flashed cwm back so he could reset counter. So seems you didn't do that. Now you have to start over. Flash cwm via Odin. Flash counter reset. Flash stock recovery. That's one option. Probably the quickest.

OK. So put your phone in download mode and open Odin. Hook up to PC and and flash cwm tar in pda slot of Odin. Make sure to click reboot phone if not already done. Once you pass and your phone reboots, you're done with Odin. Put the counter reset zip on your SD card if you didnt already. I'm gonna post a link for the stock recovery in a cwm flashable zip for you in a bit. Put that on your SD card as well. Reboot into recovery. Click install zip from SD. Flash counter reset. After that's done, go back to main screen and install zip again. Flash stock recovery. Reboot and you should be good to go. Check by booting into download mode. Counter should say zero. Reboot into recovery. You should have the stock 3e recovery. Good to go.

ODIN will not remove the update.zip so you can add a ROM and then go into clockwork then flash and your good to go. Try out Toxic or the new D9, there awesome.

Yes, you will have to re-flash recovery. If you have the update.zip on your SD card already (like ransz28 mentioned above) then just boot into stock recovery and (using the volumes to navigate and the power button to select) click on 'Reinstall Packages'. It will cycle a bit and you will see that yellow text again then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again. You are now in CWR. Now you can flash your new ROM
If you get lost, don't have an update.zip, or want a step by step guide on flashing a new rom there's a guide for that to... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 Just start at "GREAT, I AM ON JFD NOW - HOW DO I ROOT?"
Okay so I am stuck on the recovery screen. I have rebooted several times and I have ended up in the same place. I also chose wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Some one help
ya know, some steps of what you have done before hand will probably help, what rom did you have, what have you done etc etc,
So either you have sticky buttons or your gonna need to re-flash a rom, but as we dont know wether you mean recovery or cwm recovery this post is about as much help as a chocolate fire-guard in all honesty,
If you are on CWM download a connect your phone up via mounts and storage put the rom on your phone and install it via zip,
if your stock by the sounds of it something went bad...... try grabbing a rom from samfirmware and flash it via odin.
usually happens if you format system partition, if you dont have a hardware issue simply flash stock ROM using odin
I already flash stock rom but im still stuck at the android system recovery e3

Is Kernel_I9100DXKL3.tar.md5 a stock rom sorry im noob
No its a KERNEL .

If you are on CWM download a connect your phone up via mounts and storage put the rom on your phone and install it via zip,
This option is there in CWM but we cant mount it, I tried many times...
So it is always a good idea to keep your running custom ROM zip file on your SDcard undeleted, to flash on the emergency even while you are on the go...

I am in the same situation, stuck on the CWM Android system recovery screen. My Kernel is fine, I entered it not realizing I couldn't get out because my home button hasn't worked in over a year. I've tried resetting with the power button, and the power button + down key, but it always comes back to this screen. All I need to do is select the "reboot system now" button but without a Home Key I can't select it. Any way around this?
Hey guys, I saw someone asking in an old thread I made if it was possible to go back to full stock ROM with stock recovery and 0 on the flash counter. Having done this myself last week, and having to grab info from multiple sources to accomplish it, I figured I would throw together a simple guide to help others (and myself in the future).
Things you will need to download:
Da_G's stock system, kernel and recovery. File can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
braway's latest Odin flashable clockwork recovery found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576
braway's Odin flashable flash counter reset found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569206
and of course Odin found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=581913&d=1304094576
Ok, so now we have everything we need. This guide assumes you have drivers installed and have adb working. If not, google is your friend.
Fire up Odin and boot your phone into download mode. This is done by simultaneously holding the power button and volume down until the screen goes black, then release the power button while still holding volume down. When prompted press volume up to enter download mode.
Extract Da_G's pda-odin-att-stock.rar. We now have pda-odin-att-stock.tar.
Now in Odin, make sure the only thing checked is Auto Reboot. Click the PDA button and select pda-odin-att-stock.tar. Click the start button.
Once phone has rebooted, let the phone settle for a couple minutes then reboot it back into download mode. (volume down + power). Now click the PDA button again and this time select the Odin flashable clockwork recovery file (ex. cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5). Click start.
Once the phone has rebooted and stabilized, drop the flash counter reset file onto your sd-card, then reboot into recovery by holding volume up + volume down + power. When screen goes black, release power button and wait for clockwork to show. Flash the flash counter reset, then reboot the phone.
Now for the hard (and risky, SO READ CARFULLY) part, we have to get stock recovery back on our phones without tripping the flash counter. (thanks again to braway)
Take the stock tar we flashed earlier (pda-odin-att-stock.tar) and extract that file. Take recovery.img and put it on your sd-card (I put it on the internal and external sd-card just to be sure). Reboot the phone into recovery (volume up+down+power). Go to mounts and storage, then mount the sd-card.
Issue the following adb command. I SUGGEST YOU COPY AND PASTE IT, IF YOU TYPE IT WRONG YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
And that's it folks. We now have a fully stock ROM, kernel, and recovery with 0 on the flash counter. If anyone has any comments or a way to further simplify this process please comment below and I will incorporate it into the guide. Good luck and always read the instructions twice.

You don't need to use the adb command. Just flash stock via Odin again in download mode then flash the counter reset.

Their is an easier way to do this with Kies.
Someone posted a thread in here with the method, when I get home, I will post the process, as another way if you do not want to use ODIN.
Followed everything to the T. Was able to use ADB to send the command successfully at the end of the instructions. Every step worked and went flawlessly. Yet, still cannot update to ics via kies or OTA. Get the message "your device cannot update via kies". I guess there is just no way of bringing these back to out of the box brand new straight from the factory?
does this work for uk tmobile users
I think you left out the Radio.
When I did this, it still had UCLF6 Baseband.
After flashing stock rom via Odin, you need to Odin the stock Radio (baseband).
Then Odin CWM.
Then flash the counter reset (via CWM).
Then and only then will it be completely stock and update-ready for Kies.

Either way is fine. As long as you get back to the stock radio. I found an Odin'able UCLA1 somewhere in the forums here.
I remember seeing a step by step on how to return to stock and resetting counter to 0 (zero)... It was going from a custom ROM via CWM and returning to stock via Odin with the recovery being last to be reflashed. Anyone know where this is. I've been browsing a whack of threads on this and can't find it.

Thanks for your reply, I was able to place the zip file on the phone in the USB storage folder using samsung Kies. I've completed step five, now I've run into a problem with the final two steps. I've placed the recovery.img file onto the USB storage folder on the phone and deleted all other files in that folder. I've used USB storage because I don't have an SD card. When I go into recovery mode and go to mounts and storage and try to mount SD card I get an error. I saw the option to mount the USB storage so I tried that but to no avial. I just get the option to unmount the USB storage by going back the phone says. No ADB commands come up if that's right again I'm totally green here. I'm I forced here to have to get an SD card to continue? Need help again, all this stuff takes some getting use to.

hi guys, i have came here to ask for some professional advice since i am completely stuck.
i am new to android and custom ROMS. I did my research into how to install custom ROMS to my android though made a mistake.
I basically wiped my phone from the:
"ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS:
no
no
no
no
yes
no
no"
.... its now stuck on either stock recovery mode or on the screen where it shows the colorful S and the words Samsung GALAXY S II screen.
What i did
I installed clockworkMod to my android since i wanted to directly install the cyanogenMod from the clockwordMod app. i watched some you tube tutorials and did some research on how to. I followed the steps up until it was time to install the CyMod. i cant access my phone anymore to be exact but an error message along the lines of:
E: cannot install this ROM
E: another failed install message
installation canceled.
(sorry it vague, i struggle to remember the exact messsages)
So i tryed it again and the same error messages came up. previous to this stage i had taken all the backup recommendations though due to a ...Mistake i wiped everything off the phone from the example above thinking it was a step before installing the new ROM. and now im here...
I assume this is a very noob thing to do but...well everyones got to start somewhere.
my phone does not get recognized by my computer so cant transfer files into it and reboot like that so i have no idea how to get it back?
any advice or help would be great.
thanks.
**EDIT**
i am also able to access Download mode (if this helps for a solution)

update.zip
update1.zip

but there is no 'clockworkMod' backup folder or anything which i would assume the backup is stored!!
the update.zip and update1.zip is the CyMod that didnt work (failed to verify whole-file signiture)

Power your device off
Boot into Download-Mode using Volume Down + Home + Power
Hit Volume Up to accept the warning
Start Odin
Choose "GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar" as PDA (no repartition)
so i clicked:

I think you have to unzip that via recovery, not windows.
Everyone here has - I'm sure since the release of 4.3, experienced a partial corruption of their data/cache partitions.
What happens is you will go to wipe data/cache and you will get an error for a certain folder or subset of files, or the partition cannot be mounted. This ends up causing unbootable system, a force close of an app you cant clear the data for...and just the pure inability to wipe these partitions.
So most of us have taken the long road of flashing back to pure stock via ODIN, using casual to reunlock the bootloader ect ect...very very annoying process. The reason this works however is because ODIN uses a different method to wipe partitions then the custom recoveries we have available to us. Custom Recoveries wipe headers of memory blocks, this is the actual process that creates corruption to begin with. While on the other hand ODIN zero's out not only the headers but the entire blocks - thus fixing the corrupt blocks.
Guess what?! Stock recovery uses this same Zeroing process. So the short simple way to fix this...
1. ODIN Stock MC3 Recovery tar - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358550082
2. Boot into recovery, wipe data/cache
3. ODIN your favorite custom recovery back onto the device.
How much easier was that then fooling around with unlocking again? Enjoy.
Thanks @krowley3 for the tarball.
I can confirm this does work. I flashed TWRP 2.7.0.2 the other day, on reboot of recovery got a message like this:
Code:
///////////////////////////////////error
/////////////
too many files open in data/media/com.blah.blah
///////error
I then proceeded to do an advanced wipe, wiping internal, data, system, cache.. data would freeze and not wipe.
This also will happen with cache partition..
Following these steps did in fact work:good:
Works
I can confirm this also works.
I had a corrupt data partition whereby after one rom flash or another I could no longer install one of my apps. What I found was that in the /data/data/ folder I had remnants of this app that I could not delete. In my case, I could not install facebook. There was a com.facebook.katana folder in that data directory. In addition, I could not backup my rom. Wiping the data partition in Philz recovery still would not get rid of the folder and files. However, using odin and flashing the stock recovery I was able to delete those files.
The recovery goes in the pda slot.
After flash, it automatically booted, so I pulled the battery and rebooted into stock recovery.
Wiped data and factory reset in the stock recovery.
Rebooted into download mode and flashed a custom recovery tar file.
It was super easy. Granted I had to setup my phone again, but no big deal.
And let me just say thanks to @krowley3, @lacoursiere18, and @Deckoz2302 for their support and for keeping this phone going. :highfive:
I flashed the I605 pit file while flashing the stock MC3 recovery. It can be found here.
SCH-I605_16gb.Pit- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z
I did not check repartition, so it may have been unecessary. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/sh... /URL]link to a good discussion of pit files.
it doesnt say, but im assuming at some point we need to odin MJ9 again after doing this? also im not sure this is my problem. my problem is when i flash the stock 4.4.2 rom i cant donwload ringtones and wallpapers from zedge. just says download failed. will this fix my problem? if not then my other option is to try folder mount which was linked in the rom thread which some people said worked

I was unsure at first also. You don't need to flash a new ROM at any point in this process. You will end up back on the same ROM you were working on before, but it will be same rom with data wiped. Just have to go through setup.

i didnt factory reset because i was worried i would end up without a rom. i just cleared cache with with the mc3 recovery. it may not be the right way and im not suggesting anyone follow my lead, but it fixed my problem
I wiped cache & factory reset. It did not get rid of my rom, which is stock 4.4.2. Factory reset just had me go through the setup when I rebooted.

good to know
Yep spot on here. Same thing happened to me very recently and I was forced to Odin flash back to 4.1.2 and redo the entire process of unlocking my bootloader, upgrading firmware and modem to MJ9 etc all over again. Major hassle.
Question: why don't custom recoveries wipe the proper way? I mean if stock recovery can do it, surely the advanced recoveries we all use should be able to do it too no? I'm greatly looking forward to hearing about this topic in the future, it could be a great change for all custom recoveries.

Hey,
I'm getting this error as well after I went from 4.3 to 4.4 and I'l trying to backup to move over to the 4.4.2] DN3 (Ditto Note 3) ROM. I haven't flashed a bootloader only a stockrom...It there anything particular I need to do?
I'm currently on 4.4. SR KK with both TWRP and PHILZ imaged.
I'm going to fire up ODIN 3.7
download and flash the stock MC3 recovery. I assume I'm checking bootloader in ODIN
Then wipe and flash PHILZ...Is that it? I'll still be running 4.4 SR KK which I can then backup?
Thanks for the help!

You dont need to check anything in ODIN. This has nothing to do with the bootloader..
download and flash the stock MC3 recovery
Then wipe and flash PHILZ

Those are the correct steps.. Youll need to flash PHILZ in ODIN though.. but yea it should fix that
Thank you...

Only thing I would add is that, as per the advice I was given, I flashed the I605 pit file while flashing the stock MC3 recovery.
The pit file goes in the pit slot in Odin, and the recovery goes in the pda slot.
Pulled battery after flash and before it booted.
Rebooted into stock recovery.
Wiped data and factory reset in the stock recovery.
Rebooted into download mode and flashed a custom recovery tar file.

Can anyone else confirm the necessity and/or safety of performing these additional steps: adding the .pit file, battery pull, factory reset?
Thanks

Reboot to Download Mode?
After you wipe Data/Cache with the stock recovery how do you reboot back to Download mode?
Do you have to pull the battery?
If you don't boot back to Download Mode, the phone will completely reboot and force you into the Setup Wizard.

Hold volume down, menu key, power and you will get the android download triangle.
I didn't have to pull the battery, I just did when I missed chance to set the phone into download mode. It's easier to put into download when the phone is off.

Thanks. I hope I'm not misunderstanding you. I understand how to boot into Download Mode when the power is off. I wanted to know if there was a way to reboot into Download Mode directly from inside the MC3 Stock Recovery. The only option I see is a standard reboot.
After I perform the data/cache wipes in the Stock Recovery, I want to be able to go straight back to Download Mode so that I can flash Philz.
Thanks

That was my problem as well so when the phone restarted after the odin update to stock I wasn't able to get it into download in time.
I assume if you have the phone in hand you can hold the buttons as soon as odin completes the flash and catch it prior to rebooting all the way up.

I pulled the battery, because of the automatic reboot & what I think you are describing above.
As far as the pit file is concerned, it might not be necessary. See the thread linked below. Even though it is for a different device, the general discussion is relevant. From what I have read the pit file tells Odin what files belong in what partitions and the size of each partition. When you don't use odin to repartition your device, odin reads the pit file from the device itself. When I flashed with odin, I did not check the repartition button, so it was probably not necessary. But it couldn't hurt either.

I agree, it sounds like it probably isn't necessary to flash the .pit file unless maybe there is concern that the resident pit file has been corrupted.
Thinking further about pulling the battery, which I am reluctant to do...If in fact the only real risk of pulling the battery while in stock recovery is somehow corrupting or damaging the stock recovery, maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal since I am just going to replace it with Philz immediately afterward.
