I'm not new to rooting or installing custom roms but my note has me stumped. I followed all the guidelines with rooting and after flashing a new kernal through odin my phone would be stuck at the samsung splash screen. Figuring I bricked It I flashed the stock one and now my phone wont get past the Telus splash screen.
Did I cook this phone? I had no issues with my S and S2 before this I cant figure it out.

You are ok. That is a bad flash. Just reread the instructions then carefully redo your work.
Ranger is correct....
You are soft bricked ....and simply need a good cleaning and reflash ...g
Yeah try a good factory reset

Well thanks guys the only way I managed to get it working was to flash the stock at&t rom. Now if I can just figure out why it's not letting me install a custom rom then ill be set. I'll just keep it digging in the super thread

You need to install a custom recovery to install a custom Rom

I'm using clockwork touch but when I select roms from my sdcard it gives me an error and fail.
Is CWM touch the latest version ??
You may need to update your recovery.
I'm running TWRP 2.3.2.3 and have no flashing issues ...g
Use twrp recovery! The cwm touch found in a lot of these root threads is out of date and will give you errors! I got stuck in boot loop too and had to do this!

Okay, so I have created a different thread about No rom manager when i first got my phone. I have found the update.zip file in the noob thread. But now, I have done everything, & I flashed a rom. I would like to flash a different rom to check it out, when I do, It says something about the script being too old or something? any help? I haven't encountered this in my other phones (g2, hd2, mytouch 3g)
More info would help (what rom are you on and which one you are trying to flash) but it sounds like you are on cm7/miui/ics and are trying to flash a touch whiz rom which in that case you have to odin back to stock jfd first.

I just picked up a i717 and I'm trying to root via this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367. I first tried to flash CWM with odin and then I tried a root file with odin then TWRP with odin but after all of them I still cannot get into recovery (it's still stock recovery). Any help would be appreciated.
Read through THIS THREAD.
I had issues when trying to root my Bell i717 as well. All the links to everything you need should be in there...just read...and read again.
in case you miss it or read too fast..
there is a point where you pull the battery so you dont have your recovery overwritten during boot..
once i was in cwm recovery i flashed a custom rom that did not have that "feature"

It all depends what you are looking for.
I want something I can record calls with, and something not bloated.. so I'm still searching for just the right Rom. I used to use wanam on the sgs2 and he spoiled me for all other developers.

I have the Rogers note and running ICS BlackStar X as my daily driver without any issues. Been hearing good things about the Novena rom but haven't tried it out since I'm happy with my current setup.
Hey Guys,
I'm kinda lost and haven't found anything the forum that remotely resembles my problem.
I have a rooted EVO 4G LTE with CM10 JB 4.1. I'm sick of the ****ty camera picture quality and constant freezing while taking pictures (just freezes then the phone reboots) so i'm trying to go to a more of a stock rom that I'll just customize with launchers etc.
My question is, since I can't update the OTA from the rom, do i need to flash the new kernel and the stock rooted rom and if so what order? The other question I had if I do need to install the new kernel does it have to be in the root of the internal SD or external SD?
I tried flashing some of the newer stock rooted roms and none of them would work. I would get the message (bad) when trying to update through recovery. I thought at first that just meant a corrupted zip file but when trying 3 different roms that all said the same thing I thought maybe it could be because the kernel is different then what I have.
At any rate, if anyone could help with a link to some kind of guide (if anyone knows of one) or just some general directions that would be insanely helpful.
Thanks for any help offered!
Download the Rom of your choice. Pull the boot img from that Rom. That is the kernel you need to flash. The fact that your asking this question I would reccomend using the app " flash image gui". You can flash the boot img from your current Rom then immediately boot into recovery and flash the Rom.

Haha, yeah. Thanks! I like to dabble but I wouldn't call myself any kind of pro. I just wasn't sure if the rom would stay stable if I updated the kernel will still in the OS. Anyways, thanks again! :good:
Hey man I didn't wanna come off like I'm some kind of expert cause I know enough to get myself in trouble that's about it, but I have some expierence with a s-on device.
If your not sure just read some more. A good thread is "don't panic" in the Q&A section.
You should be fine tho

okay so I read through some of the threads and I still don't know how to fix my issue. I rooted my phone using Odin v 1.85 and used siyah 3.4.2. I did it successfully and everything was good. I then gave the phone to my cousin and he said he performed a factory reset to get rid of everything on the phone ( contacts ,etc). Now when I turn on the phone it shows the samsung galaxy display with the triangle and then the screen goes black and just blinks. It still goes back into download mode I just dont know what to do to fix the problem. I know I'm a noob but please HELP!!!
Development section. You'll find the stickies that show how to flash stock packages with Odin. Go back to stock to fix your issue. You should then be able to load a new kernel and flash a custom rom.
Oh, and never let that cousin touch the phone again.

You will need to root first. If you did not flash the stock plus root package already, flash that, and then install a custom kernel which has ClockworkMod Recovery. Then you can flash any firmware.
There is a good guide linked in my signature.

Thanks. I Used "Odin3 One-click Downloader I-777 UCKH7 Stock + Root No Bootloaders" to go back to stock.
I'm going to install Mobile Odin lite, I already found the flash kernel for the I-777. After installing both of these I should be good to flash the ROM of my choice by just putting the rom on the sd card right?

Flash a kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery, then boot into recovery and flash the firmware. Mobile Odin can't handle the CWM flashable zip format.
There is a Siyah kernel for gingerbread that would give you CWM so you could then flash a custom rom. It would be in the development section. Just make sure you grab the version for gingerbread and not ics

I assume you mean nandroid backup from ClockworkMod Recovery? No. It's mainly a space issue, where you want to store them, because they take up quite a bit of space, especially if you have several.

The general answer you will get around here is try them all. You can see what I like by looking in my signature.
I like both Shostock3 and the collective's rom. I don't think there is a bad rom on here.

I have been trying to flash NX-Kernel_v1.1.0 to my phone which is running Rootbox-JB-i9300-v3.9.1.
I have noticed that the file I am trying to flash is not a .tar, which is what I am use to, but a .zip.
When i use TWRP to attempt to flash it boots into download mode and does nothing.
I have also tried using odin and mobile odin but i think because its a .zip odin cannot even see it.
The thread is linked below. I have searched it and people seem to be saying that it is possible to flash with a recovery and odin/mobile odin, all of these i have tried.
Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong!?!?

Why would a kernel made for galaxy note or note 2 work on a galaxy s3?
There are sure to be differences which will make it not boot.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
oops, didn't see that. Of course it won't boot, you're lucky if you didn't kill it
First off, kernels cannot kill phones. Only corrupted or mismatched or blank boot loaders can.

Hate to tell you it can. I bricked an S3 by accidently flashing an S2 kernel to it which bricked the device to the point that a jig would not even revive it.
That makes no sense if you think of the booting process... I mean crazy things happen. But a kernel should never fully brick a device...

It does if the kernel is not for the proper chip set. Like a kernel for a qualcom chip flashed on an eyxnos chip.

the issue has already been found. The kernel is for a different device.
It should only result in a soft brick... Bootloaders are the first to come (primary then secondary. Secondary passing the booting process off to the kernel. Recovery is in the kernel while DL mode is in the boot loaders.) Oh well. I make sure I don't do stuff like that. I'm really OCD and paranoid about stuff being just right.

\Yeah thats what I thought as well. I was just rushing far more then I normally do and downloaded the same rom for both the S2 for my brother and my S3 and flashed the wrong one to mine. Boy was I not happy. Spent 3 days with some of the most talented developers here and we all agreed that jtag was the only hope.
