I attempted to flash a custom rom and it didn't work. No my phone is stuck on the motorola screen. What do I need to do to get back to stock rom?
Can you please explain simply what did you do? Which rom or which steps did you followed? Just to clarify Things
You cannot flash a custom rom right from start. Did you flash a .sbf by chance?
I attempted to flash CM7 after unlocking and rooting. I have Clockwork mod installed. How do I flash an sbf file? I don't beleive I did that. AM I screwed then?
Ok, can you access to the recovery mode at least?

ok, then...
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Just in case, download another ROM in case zip file is corrupt
Go to Mounts and storage -> mount USB storage
Copy the Custom ROM you've downloaded
Unmount then go back
Install zip from sdcard -> flash the rom you've downloaded
Then reboot and be patient... leave it like 5 minutes or so to see if anything happens.
oh, and one more thing... did the flashing finished with errors?

If my SD card is already mounted, do I need to mount and unmount? When I go to USB storage, only option I have is unmount, so I should already be mounted. How do I copy the ROM and where do I copy it to?

It's ok, when you click on USB storage, it mounts your phone as an USB device ... the unmount option is for unmounting when you finished copying

So all I am doing is wiping and reflashing? I have already done that with a different rom. I'm still stuck at the motorola screen.
Did you try restoring the nandroid backup you created after unlocking your bootloader and before flashing CM7?
There is information about getting back to stock on the "answers" post stickied in Q&A.

I never could get it to do a backup. So that won't work with getting me back to stock. I'll jsut try to flash one of those fruitcake things. Says its going to take an hour to download. IF that doesn't work, can you help guide me how to flash one in fastboot?
The fact that you couldn't get CWM to do a backup should have told you that recovery wasn't installed properly and you should have stopped there and asked for help. I saw your post over on Th3bill's AOKP thread, and since you saw the AT&T boot animation I'm guessing the ROM never installed.
How did you root and boot?
What happened when you tried to perform a backup?
What happened when you tried to flash the new ROM?
What is the current state of your device? You said you can access recovery, what happens now if you try to boot?
keep us posted pal, good luck!

I used automatic unlock. It unlocked and rooted my phone. I verified root access by installing superuser and and root checker. It said I was fully rooted

I can't remember
What happened when you tried to flash the new ROM?
I flashed it, it said it installed successfully or something. I rebooted the phone. It never would go past the at&t loading screen. I pulled out the battery and restarted the phone, wouldn't go past the motorola screen that time. I tried reflashing the ROM and I'm still stuck at the motorola screen.
Oh and when I try to do anything in fastboot via command prompt, it keeps saying < waiting for device > and nothing ever happens.
Still waiting for the stock gingerbread fruitcake to finish downloading.

Hi, i put the wrong rom on my i9300 and it went into a boot loop and i want to put the right rom on. i downloaded it on my computer but i can't transfer my files until i actual boot successfully. any suggestions? unfortunately, i haven't backed up my phone in a while so i wouldn't really want to factory reset.
grab a sd card and put the files on them, then flash in recovery

Try to flash a stock ROM, and see what happens next then
No, don't flash a stock ROM, because then you will HAVE to do a factory reset.
Can you access recovery? Push the file via adb.
And anyway, you have to do a factory reset when switching ROMs, what were you thinking?
Hi, i solved the problem, first of all, it was a bad rom and then i was using outdated gapps. none of my non-system google apps work but i'll just solve that by intalling and reinstalling them. at least play works
hi i have the cyanogenmod 10 build from july 1st 2013.
its installed with the clockwork mod
even put the patch in during clockwork mod
and the google apps during clockwork mod.
the biggest issue im having is that when i click the camera it says no external storage avaiable and to insert an sd card before using the camera.
i cant transfer any pictures to my phone or files.
if i plug the phone into my computer it says turn usb storage on and i try that but cant get into the phones files to fix what i need.
i also can do a mtp mode but it only shows whats on the micro sd card that is it.
i really want to use my phone but this issue is tough to fix.?
what can i do?
What version of cm are you running your title says 10.1 but your post says 10 which one is it? Did you read the op on the Rom. Mainly the what works and what doesn't? Not sure if that's the cm but extsd is broke on one of them I think.
I'm running cm10.1 20130701, unofficial. And my camera works. If this is the cm your on try a full wipe and reflash
I.e. wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Then reflash

Here's the link I'm successfully running the 701 zip. However I'm running 4ext recovery not cwm. I think it's recommended maybe required to use 4ext recovery. Google it, if so Google how to flash 4 ext. I can't give y instructions don't know that well. And I just meant wipe then install from zip.

ok so heres what i will do
get that zip again
and have the patch
and the google apps
unzip the 7.01 build and copy that boot and run the fastboot devices
go in with clockwork mod
clean wipe data
clea wipe cache
battery status
delvik cache
format data
format cache
format sd ext
format sd card
all that
then install 7.01 build from zip
install patch from zip
install camera from 4.3 libs zip
and then what? u said something about reflashing?
K your out of my knowledge. I've never had to unzip and flash anything also I'm not sure what patch your talking about. So rather than doing what I said post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217075
I don't want you to mess your phone up from my advice so yeah post toot question there. More advanced users will be able to help you. Mine I just flashed in 4ext and it worked no unzipping no patching,

Did you flash the camera lib on your current Rom? If so why? If it didn't directly say that in the instructions for that Rom that may have broke your camera. Also why are you using fast boot, then cwm. What are you using fastboot for?
For the Rom I linked I don't believe you need a patch I haven't read anything about it I didn't need one. If you want to switch to 4ext go to 4ext.net and download recovery updater, it will flag 4ext for you then do exactly this
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache /dalvik
Install from zip
Flash the Rom
Install from zip
Flash the gapps package. Thus Rom is JB make sure you have the JB gapps. If not Google it

Yeah that's what it means. I was referring to the options you select in recovery. Make sense? In that post though I was sharp talking about flashing a recovery if you wanted that's different I put some basic instructions in there

Download the one for cm10.1 bookmark the page in case you need a different one later on in life.
Honestly a simple Google search for gapps got that page in two seconds. No one will help you in here if you ask for everything. You've ask me for a link to everything I've said. So I have to spend my time to find your link. I don't mind helping but when all you have to do it search you need to do it yourself

i did what u said and got stuck with 4ext starting over and over and over again

i hope your right because u have a 7.01 build and no issues and i cant seem to get past this.
You didn't answer my question what sd card won't mount? And before you stay just doing things research your problem if 4ext went find sd you should have Googled that issue before you went back to cwm, jumping without knowing is what's going to Mess things up. So stop changing things and do some research.

What do you mean starting over and over. In the previous post you said it was working but couldn't mount sd. What happened to make it go from working to boot looping. Exactly what did you do? How far does it go before restarting? Is the recovery that's bootlooping or the Rom? I need way more info than your posting

What recovery finally worked for you? And if everything is running well make a backup before you start tweaking it that way if something goes wrong you can just restore your backup instead of having to stay over from scratch
Personally
I make a backup after a clean install then after I restore my apps then after mods then final. And I delete the post one when I have a working newer one. That way my sd isn't full of backups

Hi,
When i woke up this morning my phone was attempting to boot, but was stuck on my boot animation. So i pulled out the battery and rebooted, since then it has been turning on for a couple mins than rebooting the phone its self is slightly warmer than usual, but it has been hotter before. I have attempted to back up my data using cwm, but the reboot still happens, im unsure if its on the same file that causes the reboot. Im trying to back it up to completely wipe it and see if that makes a difference.
I would be grateful for any help in the matter.

Hi,
i would boot into CWM or TWRP and then i would do a wipe cache / dalvik, and flash your "rom.zip" from internal or external sd card. If that does not work then do a factory reset and flash "rom.zip". If the problem still exists what i do not hope for you, then you have to wipe all your data without doing a nandroid backup and then flashing again. Do you have a stock rom installed or what rom do you have and what kind of kernel?
But try to flash your rom and kernel again . Hope it will help your "Diva" ?!
Sounds to me ur power button is stuck.

No i meant you should flash your rom.zip, but when you have istalled a stock rom then you dont have a zip file of it on your sd-card, which you can flash. But a normal odin flash of your stock will solve your problem, and then you can do a custom nandroid backup in CWM (EFS, DATA partition etc). I hope odin will do a complete delete of your /system, /data/media, /data partition. But try it

It doesnt if the power button is stuck continuously as when u press and hold the power button, it hard reboots so no menu is given. Go google search 'gs3 power button stuck'. Trust me. All of their cases are similar to urs.

Hi guys,
I have the SGH-i777 and it's been a long time since I've tinkered with it, so wanted to get clarification on updating CWM before I do anything.
I'm currently running the AOKP Jellybean Rom and I have CWM 6.0.2.3 installed. I'd like to update to CM 11 and I see that this requires CWM 6.0.4.4 or higher. They've provided a link to a combination recovery/kernel from mr-cook that apparently has CWM 6.0.4.5.
My question is, how do I get that kernel onto my phone? My guess is I download it, throw it on my SD card, boot into CWM recovery and install it from there. When that's complete, I wipe data/factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik cache from recovery, then install the CM rom, GApps, and then I'm done. Is that correct?
Thanks and sorry if this is dumb. :silly:

Yes. Put that file at the root of your external card. Boot into CWM, flash that kernel, and then personally I'd reboot into recovery again. The rest of your route was fine, just wipe cache and Dalvik AFTER you flash ROM and gapps.

Great, thanks.
Out of curiosity - why do you recommend wiping cache and dalvik after flashing the rom and gapps? CM's instructions recommend to do that before flashing rom/gapps. Is it just a matter of preference?

Well, the more knowledgable folk than me on here usually list wiping dalvik/cache after ROM/Gapps, so, it makes sense to me to do what they say. It's not going to hurt anything, and actually a factory reset wipes both of those anyway, I believe.
Be sure that kernel you are loading is compatible with your current ROM, unless you have no intentions of booting back into the ROM, and only into the recovery.

Yup, looks like this isn't the case. I installed the kernel, then chose "Reboot now" from CWM's menu. It powered up, displayed the Samsung logo, and then the screen turned black. I held the power button for a bit and saw that it was off, so I tried holding the vol up + down buttons and power and booting into Download mode. (Phone had a full charge and was plugged into USB power source while doing this)
I'm now in Download mode and it says the following on the screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-i777
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

What should I do now? If I remember right, this isn't a terrible screen and I can in fact power down the device and try again. How do I get back into recovery mode to continue installing the new rom?

Well, you can use this thread where @creepyncrawly walks someone through using Odin in download mode.

But do me a favor...make sure you are holding BOTH Volume + AND Volume - as well as power, and let the Samsung logo flash once, then when it comes back, let go. If it works, you'll be in Recovery, and you can try to flash your new ROM.

This was it. I wasn't timing the let go part right and I also had the device plugged in to a power source. Once I took care of that, I was able to get into recovery easily and continue the installation.
Thanks a lot!

Not sure what to do now. I went back into recovery and wiped the cache/dalvik cache again, but to no avail. I looked in the development thread and there's one post saying that I need to flash renderbroken's custom kernel after I flash the ROM and GApps. There's also a link to download renderbroken's CM kernel but I'm confused now because I also read that renderbroken doesn't update the kernels anymore, which is why they recommend the mr-cook kernel...
Any advice here? Is the renderbroken kernel the "right" one? Could I brick my phone if I try installing and reinstalling a few different kernels to get the issue solved?

Well, even Render's old kernel would work, but, no, he hasn't updated in a long time. You can use Rogersb's kernel (found here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15966), but specifically which ROM are you trying to install?

Then go to this page and download either the CWM or TWRP version. Not the Slim version.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15966
I favor TWRP, but if you are comfortable with CWM, grab that one, and flash it after you flash your ROM. I'd factory reset again first, then wipe cache/dalvik after.
I will also say this...that ROM you are installing is a fairly old version...you might consider updating to something a bit newer.

Here are a couple you might consider:

Okay so I should do it like this... factory reset, flash the ROM again, flash this new kernel I'm downloading now, wipe cache/dalvik. Yes? And here's another probably stupid question. How do I get this new kernel onto my SD card? Seeing as I can't get into Android and mount the SD card through the GUI...

Find the "Mounts" menu in CWM..>I think it's in Advanced...and select the "Mount as USB" and it should show up in your PC as an external drive. Drop your kernel into your external card root.
And yes to the rest of your question...
Oops, no, just "Mounts and Storage" in the main menu. You prob already saw that tho.

Really glad it worked out for you!
Self-explanatory really.
I updated my phone a few weeks ago to Omnirom 4.4.4, one of the nightly builds and everything was going well.
Today I installed a couple of apps, and tonight the screen started flickering and the phone reset, however when it started again, it went into a bootloop.
How do I get it working again without losing the files that are on the internal memory? (I don't know which resets in CWM delete personal data)
Thanks

Flash latest (6.0.4.7) CWM or latest TWRP (2.7.1.0 if Im not wrong) and reflash the rom.
Wiping data, and formatting partitions doesnt get you wiped internal memory files; but apps and things installed.

I did this, and I'm still stuck in a bootloop, it gets as far as the "Omni" animation, and then reboots
Any advice?

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but would you happen to know of a guide for flashing the stock ROM?
Would it fix by flashing a different ROM, such as Cyanogenmod which I have in the download folder on the phone?
If like you said you don't want to lose data don't flash stock rom this will wipe your data fist thing you need to do is install PhilZ recovery then look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953 << then look at the special features section here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433728#post39433728 << look for the aroma file manager and how to use.
You will then be able to boot into recovery browse your internal files with aroma and move and copy/backup what you need,once you have done all that you will then be able to return to stock with odin.
