Hi,
I am unable to boot into recovery mode - I keep booting into clockworkmod recovery menu, no matter what I do. Consequently, ODIN fails to communicate with the device.
I have 4.0 Player US version
What is the way to return to the stock rom ?
Thanks,
Stock kernel for YP-G1 - 4.0 US
Was able to pass that, where can I find stock kernel for YP-G1 4.0 US ? All links are broken.
I don't think there is a copy of ONLY the stock kernel laying around, but if you look at the following page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850
you can find a full restore package that includes the factory kernels. I installed mine using Heimdall and just used the zImage that was contained in the provided file.

hello, I have noticed that when you install rom manager and flash CWM with it, It makes the sch-i905 (SGT LTE) go into bootloop. I believe this is because the one that rom manager flashed was for wifi only... can someone explain to me how to possibly flash a clockworkmod recovery to stop the boot loop? or am I wrong and there's something else I have to do? Thanks for all the help in advance.
ROM manager isn't all encompassing when it comes to supporting the flashing of various ROMs and recoveries on all Android devices so what you're finding is what others already know; it doesn't support the GT 10.1 models well.
About the only reason I'd use ROM manager on my tablet would be to run the fix permissions from within the OS itself. Instead though, I just do it in CWM and I do not have ROM manager installed.
Dump ROM manager on the tab and use the latest CWM that pershoot distributed instead:

There's a link to his blog site in the original post in that thread. Download links for your tab version (SCH-i905) are there as are instructions for using Odin to flash it.
The app itself doesn't direct the files properly on where it needs to be pasted
I have been dual booting stock Android 4.0.4 and CM 9.1 on my S2 for awhile now with minimal issues. However, some small things have stopped working correctly, and since I noticed that both stock Android 4.1.2 and CM 10.1 are now available for the S2, I figured it was about time to switch to those.
I fought with this all last night though but couldn't get it to work. I have been trying the following steps:
Download Android 4.1.2 stock rom from sammobile.com and flash to device using Odin 3.07. Boot up and verify everything is working correctly.
Download Siyah kernel (I'm unfortunately not sure what version as I am at work and it is on my computer at home) and flash to device using Odin 3.07. Boot up and verify everything is working correctly.
Download cm-10.1.3-i777.zip from download.cyanogenmod.org and load image on internal SD card. Boot into CWM recovery. Choose to install 2nd ROM from internal SD card and select that zip file. Verify CWM says installation completes successfully.
Boot both primary and secondary roms and verify they work correctly.
My verifications succeed until step 4, in which both fail. The primary rom (stock Android) gets stuck in an infinite loop loading the AT&T startup image. I just get a blank screen when booting the secondary rom. I've tried these steps a few times with minor variations with the exact same result.
Should I be able to get this to work? If so, what Kernel do I need? My web research seems to be inconsistant as to whether this can work or not. I haven't found anyone that definitively stated they've done this on an S2.
I did find a post for the "Googy" kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270158) that claims this should be possible, but the instructions on how to load it are less that complete. It just says "Flash Googy-Max Kernel", but I'm not sure how to do that. I only know how to flash a kernel using Odin, but Odin needs a .tar.md5 or similar file. The Googy kernel comes in zip format and contains a META-INF directory and boot.img file at its root, and Odin doesn't appear to support that format. Trying to load the zip from CWM after loading the Siyah kernel had ... less than desirable results.
I have D/L a few stock recovery .img files with different file sizes.
Q: Are all TMO stock recovery images same?
I have 4.3 sense 5.0 latest firmware and would like the kitkat OTA.
Q: What stock recovery .img do I need to flash and where may I get it?
Thanks.
Oh this is for USA country code..NEW YORK.
I am rooted using the TWRP recovery.. latest 3.3
Thanks.
Whenever I have had need to swap back over to the stock recovery (such as the KK upgrade, which I'm just getting finished up right now) I've always used the stock recovery image from the zip file that Behold_this puts together in his thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355814
I think it's been updated now to include the KK firmware, so you may or may not want to download the previous version. If you are curious, the size of the recovery.img that I have is 11.6MB (12,245,248 bytes).
Long story short,
Even using a custom recovery I am unable to flash any rom Execpt stock, or a modified stock rom (using Etherealrom 2.4 right now)
And I was wondering if anyone has a dump from odin or Heimdall that I could use to try to flash CM to my device, weather it's cm9 or cm10,
it may help, as from there I may be able to flash other roms.
I'm not sure what wrong with my device, but even when returning to stock, my lock screen fails to engage with a 100% stock Heimdall / odin image,
Even ones I've used in the past with no problems. but everything else seems to work fine.
And be fore you ask,
yes I have tried the manual flashing steps shown on the cm9/10/11 pages,
yes, I have tried using the TerraSilent usa kernal (multiple versions)
yes, I have tired doing a full restore of the image, even with re-partitioning from a pit file
yes, I used the preflash before trying to install cm9/10/11, and tried the various toggles
yes, in the past I was able to flash cm9, but I was on stock for a while, then when trying to switch back, this happened.
yes, I have checked my EMS partition, and even tried manually rebuilding it,
The only way I can flash anything, including sock, and modified stock roms, is from my PC, via odin, or Heimdall
So I was wondering if someone with the USA galaxy player 4 could do a dump for me, and include the pit file,
so I could attempt to get CM installed that way?
Hi!
As the title says, where can i find the latest official/stock (or close to stock) Samsung ROM in a recovery zip format?
I have a carrier independent I9300 (it's a second hand phone, don't know if it was or wasn't sim locked originally), with latest CM11 nightly at the moment with TWRP recovery, but i want to test the speed and functionality of the stock ROM.
I'm not too familiar with ODIN or KIES, that's why i need in "zip via recovery" format.
If flash via recovery, do i have to mind about the EFS partition?
Sorry for the noob questions, but i new in the S3 scene
@pappt: flashing with Odin is no witchery: go to the download section of sammobile.com to find your firmware and follow the short instruction, given there.
Or take NCS ROM instead: heavily debloated newest firmware, shows what Touchwiz is able to.
