Hello apparently 4.0.4 auto resets recovery if you try to flash a different one.
I just got my memory card, looking forward to root/mess with my tab, but when I used Odin to flash CWM and Rebooted the device, its still the stock recovery.
I was told I could flash 4.0.3 and go from there but GT-P3113_XAR_1_20120412104938_ldcgx9tzmx.zip Is a zip file and not recognized by odin, What do I do now?
Thanks
Edit*: I unzipped the archive, inside wan an MD5 recognized by odin, currently trying to flash that.
For those in the same situation, it worked, Sucessfully downgraded to 4.0.3

Hi guys.
Im on coffeebeans ICS ROM on my TAB 10.1 and it worked perfectly for about two months. But suddenly when visiting a random web page the tab suddently froze. When i rebooted it it was stuck at Samsung logo and justs restarts after a while. When going into Clockwork mod i cannot get access to "install zip from sdcard" the screen is black when trying to get access to internal memory. When trying to set it back to factory settings from CWM it freezes.. Any ideas?
Kinda strange i think! Guess i have to try install a new ROM via Odin but then I need help from one of you to guide me where to start
Thanks for all help!
That's really weird. It's almost like your file system got corrupted or something.
Here's a good place to start for the recovery process

Sounds logical. Can you point me to a thread with a recovery to use? And also a guide maybe so i use Odin correct. I have used Odin, but that is a long time ago
Try search forums
Use the official recovery from CWM only, here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager . If you are using ROM manager, just download it and flash recovery from via ROM manager. If not, use Odin. It's easy, turn tablet into download mode, start Odin, click PDA, choose the file with recovery and press start. For using Odin you will need recovery in .tar package, so here you are http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23527491/recovery.tar.md5 ...Touch recovery 5.8.3.1
Running stock rooted ICS 4.0.3
I was running Stock ICS with the latest Siya kernel. However I decided to flash AOKP using CWM but got stuck on the boot screen containing the words Samsung Galaxy S2 and so just used Odin on the computer to flash back to Stock rooted ICS from Creepys thread. I'm trying to reflash the Siya Kernel again but when I select the ZImage file with mobile ODIN lite the flash button is grayed out. I've downloaded and reinstalled both the kernel files and reinstalled mobile ODIN lite and get the same thing.
As a side note, I did a nandroid backup and wipe data factory reset before flashing the AOKP zip file with CWM. Not sure what happened there.
Any help is appreciated!

Why are you making things harder on yourself boy? Just flash the .zip in CWM BAM, you have Siyah Kernel
OK, I used Terminal to put the Siya Kernel back and then restrored the nandroid backup. Everything was back to normal. I then downloaded the Aberration zip file and flashed it with CWM and it wouldn't boot past the Kernel logo. Maybe my SD card is bad or something. Aberration showed a successfull instal then wouldn't boot. It was the latest version with an older kernel so I'm not sure what's going on. I must suck at flashing ROMs. After restoring to the backup that I actually flashed the Siya Kernel on, Mobile ODIN Lite still has the flash button grayed out. It it a one time use thing or something? I'm dying to try a custom ROM but so far have struck out 2X.:laugh:

If you were flashing abberation 1.1 that was a problem. Try 1.2

Also, don't forget to do a wipe data/factory reset before you flash a new firmware.
Re: Mobile Odin Lite. You should be able to install a kernel even without installing the I777 supplementary file. If Mobile Odin is not seeing the kernel, I'm not sure but maybe it's a spelling issue. At least Linux expects a file to be capitalized exactly, so maybe Mobile Odin does too. It should be zImage, not ZImage (as you have it above.)
Also, if you install the I777 supplementary file, then Mobile Odin becomes a very useful tool. You can get that from (I think) the 3rd or 4th post in the Mobile Odin thread.

I made sure and did the data/factory reset. I also, checked the spelling and it is zImage as you stated. I had a typo.

I don't know if this will help but here is an older v. if you wanna try it, make sure you clear the data before you uninstall the v. you have now.....
https://www.dropbox.com/s/reywsfdl7ttgkjj/Mobile ODIN Lite-236.apk I have some more older v. if you need..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q4b5tkmxsdx0e1/Mobile ODIN FlashKernel I777.apk here is the FlashKernel i777 to install after the first not needed but good to have....
One more thing, make sure you have not blocked the superuser access to the app....
Okay so I rooted my Note once using Odin and left one rom on it for months. I recently needed to take it into the service center due to a stretched out charging port so I downloaded and flashed the stock .tar via Odin, now I'm trying to reroot it again using the same Odin method I used the first time and my phone just gets stuck on the bootscreen. I've reflashed the stock .tar and tried reflashing the root 3-4 times now and nothing is changing. Could somebody let me know what I'm doing wrong? Is there another way to get my phone rooted again? I tried just installing superuser and rom manager thinking maybe it was already rooted and they didn't work. Thanks.
You should be first flashing CWM.
Then you can flash a rooted rom.
All you need is your phone in Download Mode (not recovery mode) and Odin3 ver 1.85 on your pc, then flash the CWM tar in odin's PDA slot.
As to your current problem, if you are GB you have to flash a GB rooted kernel. But possibly your phone is ICS now, so you have to flash a rooted ICS kernel.

Alright thanks I'll try that out, I was under the impression that I needed to root before I could use CWM, as to being on ICS, I don't think so seeing as I was rooted using the same rom for the past few months and haven't updated it, I didn't even know ICS had been officially released until today lol thanks for the info I'll try it out.
Hi all,
I've been having a few issues with my S2 (Randomly resetting, freezing, etc) - so I decided to do a factory reset - but it hasn't worked.
When I turn my phone on, it wont go past the galaxy logo. I've tried holding down VOLUME UP, POWER, and HOME - but it doesn't boot it into recovery mode.
I've downloaded odin (the phone is rooted) and was told to download a new ROM and then use the PDA button on odin. But the only file type it expects is MD5, tar and SMD. Whenever I download a ROM, I just get a ZIP?
I'm probably being stupid. Could someone point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, I just want the phone working.

What ROM do you want to flash?
If it's a stock ROM, then extract the zip file and flash the contained tar/md5 file with Odin.
If it is a custom ROM and only provided as CWM-flashable zip file, then use a stock ROM to flash first and flash the custom ROM afterwards, when everything works again.
Here you can get the latest stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487, or pre-rooted stock ROMs from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071, or use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/ to check for the latest officiallly released firmware versions for your phone in your region and download it directly from Samsung servers.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't care which ROM I use - As long as I get the phone working again. I did download 7comp ROM but I couldn't find any .tar files?
I also converted the ZIP to a TAR but odin isn't picking it up ?!
OK - I've downloaded and installed the latest stock ROM you posted.
It seems to have installed, but doesn't go past the splash screen which says samsung galaxy Sii
Any ideas?
[EDIT] - Phone fixed. I was able to load it into recovery mode and cleared cache. woo
Well done ...now try to go on recovery mode ...if should be able to go....do full wipe...then clear delvik cache...then advance- fix permission ..
Then reboot system ....you are done...
Don't forget to say thanks..

Attempted to root the phone but it didn't work.
I followed a set of instructions, and was asked to wait for the phone to reboot. It now has the "!" rooted icon but won't go past the rooted screen.
System restore and clearing cache doesn't set it back to factory default. Any ideas?

Sorry for late reply. I followed a video on youtube showing you how to root the phone. It looked succesfull as the "!" did appear, but it wouldn't go past that.
So I rolled it back using the original ROM and have given up on rooting it. It's a shame as I really liked Jelly Bean

to root ur phone, just dwnld the .tar file of Siyah v4.1.5 fro the link below, then put ur phone into Dwnld mode and connect to ODIN in ur PC and flash by putting the siyah kernel file(.tar) in PDA section, ur phone will be rooted
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/09/08/siyahkernel-s2-v4-1/
PS- do see that u dwnld the file meant to flash by ODIN ie Download tar (for Odin)
Just flash a siyah v.4 rooted kernel through odin.
hey guys, I was running my S3 on the paranoid android(2.99) just fine but then I tried to flash 2.54 over my 2.99 install through TWRP. It flashed fine but then it was stuck on the PA bootscreen so then I tried restoring a backup through TWRP but it said no backups found even though I made 3, i later realised they were in a different folder and I couldn't get them.
Anway, desperate to get a working phone, I downloaded the I9300XXELLA firmware and flashed it via ODIN, it failed so I disconnected my phone and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, select recovery mode through kies". I cannot go into recovery or download mode.
Is there anyway to get my phone to work or have I successfully created a paperweight?
The phone was bought from India. If I need to provide any information, let me know, I'd love having my phone back.
First step is to source a USB recovery Jig to get to download mode .
That fails its a service centre .
