I have a backup of my stock rom from when I got the phone and I would like to restore that back but it won't let me. When in recovery and I hit restore I get "E:Can't mount /sdcard" so I try advanced restore and then I get "E:Can't mount sdcard" and finally I tried restore from internal sdcard and then I get an error saying "Couldn't open directory. No files found." bearing in mind I don't have any sd card inserted but it's how I always used to do it. So I tried going to mounts and storage then mounting the sd card from there but get an error saying "Error mounting /sdcard!".
What do I do please?
Tried re flashing the recovery or trying another recovery?

It's the only recovery I have, but how would I go about re flashing it? Just put it in a .zip or something?
have you tried looking for another recovery or looking into the android development for your phone.
shouldnt be that hard to put one on, in fact if it becomes that hard, it should only be as hard as running a few ADB commands. look for one that you like and check out the instructions

No , hes talking about kernel. You need to try a different kernel (they include cwm recovery).
Flash the kernel/recovery you used when backing up the rom.

I can't even remember what kernel I was using back then. It was 2 years ago now.
I'm not sure if it's all worth it, I'm only recycling it at the O2 store for money, does it matter? Is installing custom roms illegal? Because my only worry is them testing it by turning it on or something and seeing that I'm running cMIUI.

Dude don't worry and that phone is worth the fix. As far as I c it you don't even have it that bad. What atheist said is correct.
All you need to do is look for a recovery / kernel that most of the time come together and flash it. Just read the instructions on that post.
After all you're in the right place to get your phone hooked up and fixed whenever u have problems. Don't be nervous about it. Unless u want a new phone lol.

Well I already have a new phone man, I'm just getting rid of this one at a store who will pay me money for it. But I wasn't sure whether to flash the stock back or not in case they checked.
best bet then is just put it back to stock and wipe it like new

Right. I have to boot my phone into download mode too right? Power button + home button + volume down? Because I'm doing this and it's not working. Stuck on 'SetupConnection..' at the moment.
edit: it finished and said "Complete(Write) operation failed."
Anyone know why this isn't working? :s
can't get to Download Mode?
Time for usb jig.
or this thread.
Sorry, I typed that out wrong. I'm in download mode (I think) but I'm getting those errors that I posted about when I have it plugged in with Odin opened..
Install/Reinstall Kies and shut it all up before you open odin, then flash.

I totally forgot about kies man, never even had it installed. It seems to have worked, and I'm on a stock ROM now but when I boot up it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S II logo where it keeps illuminating..
I'm not sure if that matters, if the store I take it to for money does end up testing it, at least they can see it turns on, just boot loops for some reason? :/

Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4
best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.
and where you going to get a backup rom ? does Kies do some sort of full back up ?

EDIT: it gave me "FAIL" please help! I am using odin 1.3
It seems to fail at recovery.bin, maybe mine is corrupted.
If someone could post theirs for a 4.0 u.s. version, I would appreciate it!

for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.
So my dad tried to root his gtab 10.1 and did so successfully, but got the wrong rom. He didn't back anything up, so there is no way to simply go back. I have access to both cwm and odin if that helps. Oh and another big problem is that it won't be recognized by computer as a storage device leaving me with no way to load another rom onto it. Help?
If this is a wi-fi model look at this video, as to how to unroot/unbrick. This may also apply to other models but I am not a lawyer. Check under the development section for the stickies on getting it back to stock. If you have ODIN access this should not be a problem at all.

That's not a galaxys2root produced file. That is the straight stock Kies file which they downloaded from SamFirmware or Samsung Updates. That didn't cause the problem.
You say you can now not enter either download mode or recovery?
Don't do a wipe data with that installed if you do get into recovery!

I'm not sure why your phone is having problems. You should be able to just flash stock and start over. If it were my phone, I would flash UCKH7 stock plus root, install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then pick a firmware from the development forum. If you choose to follow that path, be sure to open the Oden window first before putting your phone into download mode. If you need additional information, there is plenty of help in the guides and threads linked in my signature.

Did you flash a custom kernel and then flash a new rom?
Okay, so i am on android 4.3 MJ7, sch-i545, yada yada yada
I rooted the phone and installed titanium so i could delete some bloatware (when i should have just installed a custom recovery and get Cyanogenmod or something while i was on 4.2.2)
I wound up deleting some pretty important apps that i thought were bloatware from Samsung/Verizon (Downloads, Download Manager, Video to name a few). Now, i can't play a video i record, I can't open the play store, etc.
I would flash a custom rom like Cyanogenmod, but i don't think it is possible to get a Custom Recovery on android 4.3
Any help getting these apps back would be greatly appreciated.

I understand i will need to use Odin, but i'm unsure which file i will need to flash it with. Could you point me in the direction of a rom i can use?
You should always back up the app before you delete it, even if you think you will never use it.

It's been awhile since I installed a PHilz recovery, but if I remember right you get the tar file from the download, put it on your computer, put the phone in download mode (volume down and power), connect your phone to your computer using the charging cable that came with the phone. Odin recognizes the phone and you highlight the tar file you have on your computer and select PDA. Click start and let it do it's "thing". Wait until you get a green "pass" in Odin before disconnecting. If I remember correctly the link I provided also has install instructions so if my memory is failing me those instructions should keep you on the right track EDIT: Go here for instructions on how to install the downloaded Philz package; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433857#post39433857

If I remember correctly the link I provided also has install instructions so if my memory is failing me those instructions should keep you on the right track EDIT: Go here for instructions on how to install the downloaded Philz package; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433857#post39433857

You can't install a custom recovery on MJ7. It's been posted many times.
I have no clue why anyone would actually delete the apps. Just Freeze then with TiBu to make them functionally not there. If you are that tight on space, buy an SD card.

Yep, you're right. I said that in an earlier response. But, he asked the question and I gave him the answer.

Okay, so i am on android 4.3 MJ7, sch-i545, yada yada yada
I rooted the phone and installed titanium so i could delete some bloatware (when i should have just installed a custom recovery and get Cyanogenmod or something while i was on 4.2.2)
I wound up deleting some pretty important apps that i thought were bloatware from Samsung/Verizon (Downloads, Download Manager, Video to name a few). Now, i can't play a video i record, I can't open the play store, etc.
I would flash a custom rom like Cyanogenmod, but i don't think it is possible to get a Custom Recovery on android 4.3
Any help getting these apps back would be greatly appreciated.

You can't freeze them unless you donate..
I would have done that if knowing it would be this hard to get the apps back..
Does anyone have a solution? Am i screwed?

I've tried downloading that 6 times and it's been corrupt every time. Do you have another mirror for that file?

No I don't. A lot of people have complained about the same issue. All I can tell you is to keep trying. Sorry.

Huh...the other one has a corrupt file too. Probably tried each around 10 times now...It's not my internet because i tried downloading an equally big file from a different website and it was fine...I woder what the problem is
Both those downloads have corrupt files unfortunately. Does anyone have a mirror to either those files or help me find an alternate solution?
Thank You

You attempted to flash a ROM made for a different phone (d2att), never do that again unless you want a brick.

Yea, look at the sticky. Anyway, it is probably something to do with your recovery. Try flashing it using cwm.

Yea, you can flash .zip versions of cwm through the recovery menu. You could also flash it through Odin if you can't find a flashable .zip of it, probably easier that way. Don't just flash any .zip of cwm you find through twrp, it has to be one made to be flashed.

You should just be able to download the recovery in this topic (.zip not tar.md5) and install it using twrp. Put the file on your external SD since you can't access your phone.

okay so i did some youtube searching and alot of videos came up with odin. To download a stock rom . i downloaded a few and tryed to do it with odin and it always failed. ANyone have any ideas? or maybe theirs a way to just fix the hellfire rom?
i managed to figure out the phillz. all it did was change the recovery program to his and now its stock andriod recovery... . their has to be a way for me to odin the stock os system. I wish i could just get into the phone itd be so much easier. lol 50k people online someone help me!

You know that the file that you have to put in odin has to be a ridiculous amount of mb or gb then other things because i made that mistake 2 lol.
You have to extract it when using your pc and stuff and sometimes you get others files like ones that arent even like 100 mb or whatever that can look like a rom.
Give me a full list of evrything you exactly do when flashing and wich file and name and how big the file is and also your model number... The s3 ATT right?
Can someone verify for me that att has an own bootloader and stuff and you can only like odin flash their stock roms right?
You can always use phillz touch recovery and download a custom rom like cyanogenmod for your phone! Then you can acces it... If you dont brick your phone.

Huh? What exactly did you do? If you flashed Philz correctly using TWRP then you should have his recovery on your phone.
I think he needs to report his post to get it moved to his section with people to help him with his exact model and the correct stickies to help him.
If he can't then someone may need to report it for him.
Either way here is some reading material I found after a quick search in your forum.

Always make sure of what your are flashing, that its correct for your phone and always back up

So you got Philz touch running? If so, then you should be able to flash hellfire with it (assuming that you definitely have the right rom for your phone model).

Try redownloading the rom maybe an bad download.
When it doesnt work then your phone just cant take it and try something else man.
And also ask the developer from the hellfire rom if your phone is compatible with the rom (sometimes you need to download some sort of kernel or whatever it needs)

Is this the first ROM you've tried to flash? What were you running before trying to flash hellfire?
To fix your situation should be fairly simple. 1.download a different ROM to an external SD card, I recommend slimkat because its pretty stable. They use a unified d2lte build for all d2 devices. Before you install the zip, wipe data/factory reset, manually format system, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, install the ROM zip and gapps zip if required then reboot and profit.

I was running the stock rom. I downloaded cynogenor whatever its called but i cant put it on the sd card. It says the device is not connected. If i pull the files out of the sd card itll work. But it wont let me put the whole zip file on the sd card. Any ideas?
