Hi,
I'm looking for a Stock Recovery Rom for a P7501 or P7500 that can be flashed with CWM Recovery. So I need a ZIP file, not the img.
Maybe someone can help me.
Thx !
Hey Guys,
I messed up a little with an accidental fastboot command whereby I accidentally flashed the boot, now I cannot boot up and my main hope is to flash the stock boot.img and stock recovery (my original intention).
I was looking for an RUU in a zip format or a stock ROM but had no luck, is it possible someone has these? I need it for HBOOT 1.49.18 and Android 2.3.
Failing that I guess I would need to full wipe and install a Custom ROM by manually flashing the Custom ROM's boot.img, the problem is then however in getting the ROM zip file on my SD... I think CWM touch enables USB mounting am I correct?
Do you have an sd card adapter? If you have, just put it in your computer. You can use any recovery image you like.

Im tired of installing many ROM's and 2 different Recovery, some "cant open .zip" and having boot problems, and in other recovery, it can install roms, but other aslo cant open .zip, and also having boot problems,
Im really tired of reflashing stock ICS Fw then root, install Recovery again, after failing installing ROMs.. its too long to reflash, root, install recovery,, its waste my time and having headache after failing installing ROMs for almost a week
Is there any fast solution or what would you do after you fail installing ROMs and cant boot? even do you can enter recovery? what proper should do next? would you also reflash again stock ICS then root and install recovery?
or any other fast way solution..
Please help
Root and install recovery onto your device. Enter recovery and make a nandroid back up of your device. Flash your new rom and reboot the device. If you boot loop or the rom doesn't work or even if you just don't like it, enter recovery (may have to remove the battery to restart a boot cycle) and use your nandroid back up to restore your device.
Before flashing the new rom, you should make sure that the kernel is compatible with the one that is already on your device. If it isn't compatible, you will also want to flash the new kernel using fastboot/flashtool, and not recovery. Also make sure you have a back up of your rom's current kernel so you can flash the original kernel, if you decide to go backwards.

Thanks I think that what im looking for.. the Nandriod backup..
gota way to find that now and how to install
Thanks a lot!
Hmmm...the most easiest way it to unlock your bootloader first...then flash custom kernel...this can help you skip rooting and installing recovery again and again if something goes wrong cause all custom kernel is pre-rooted and got recovery by default....
next you need to find which custom roms you want to flash...some custom roms have their own kernel or flash any custom kernel that is compatible with the roms....
remember, custom kernel is important cause if you flash the wrong kernel, you might get bootloop after flashing the roms....

Hey guys!
So I was helping my friend flash a ROM to his S2(G) but the problem is, after flashing the zip file for the recovery in the stock recovery as is recommended in the guides here, should I reboot, it once again reverts back to the stock recovery, and not the custom one.
Can someone please help?
Thanks again.
And please ask me for any more details if necessary.
That's because the partition layout on the I9100 is different to other phones; recovery is 'baked' into the kernel & not in a separate partition. So that's why when you flash a recovery independently, the recovery will revert to stock recovery (or whatever custom recovery the custom kernel you're currently running has) when you reboot.
You need to flash a custom kernel which will give you a rooted phone + permanent CWM; PhilZ seems to be easy (search for the thread).
If you want a specific CWM version, you'll need to flash a kernel that has it.
I have been trying to install a custom recovery on this phone for a while now. I have had no luck. There have been a couple of forum threads about rooting it but they don't help. When I flash TWRP recovery on to it it just boots into download mode. I don't know why it won't boot into custom recovery. Can anyone help me with this?
I uploaded all the files I have for it already. I got the stock recovery from a stock ROM.
