Everytime I try to flash a ROM on an i9100 in the recovery, the phone just dies during the installation of the ROM. I can boot back into the recovery as well as the system. I am using ClockwordMod recovery.
The ROM that is currently running is CM10.1. I have no clue what this issue is and I would really appreciate any help.

how about:
1- reverting to stock rom first
2- get root
3- try flashing via recovery
huh?

After installing the Bulletproof 2.4 rom i flashed kernal using flash kernal gui app and then restarted phone. Now phone only reboots into bootloader/recovery. Is there any possible fix? Thanks
Well you can reboot into recovery so why not just reflash the rom.
i did that and when i reboot phone after rom installation it just goes back to bootloader
Did you make a backup? If so restore it.
If you don't want to and want to continue to flash the rom, flash the kernel via easy kernel flasher twice while In bootloader. Then flash your rom in recovery, be sure to do a full wipe.

thank you. i flashed the kernal twice and then installed the rom. Everything is back to normal. Thank you. Will i have to flash the kernal twice before every new rom installation? If so, why is that? Thanks again. I really appreciate the support
I've tried flashing recovery via Odin and CWM Recovery and it will reboot into recovery just fine. However, when I let it reboot into android, turn it off, and then go back into recovery, CWM is gone. The phone, however, stays rooted.
Any idea what could be wrong or how to fix this?
Secondly, if I can get into CWM immediately after flashing, is it safe to flash a new ROM at that point or do I need to get CWM to stick first?
Anyone? Any suggestions at all will be appreciated

Sure... You can flash a rom immediately following the flash of cwm.... Did you also install busy box?
Which cwm are you trying to use? 5.8.4.7 seems to do me good....?

Before your phone boots after installing cwm in Odin do a battery pull then boot into recovery （Volume Up+Home+power) then flash your superuser/root package. It will stick then.

I tried using that CWM version as well as an older one. Both work and I can get busy box and superuser installed once it boots up. But when I power down and try to go back into recovery, CWM is gone. I do get to keep root though.

I tried unchecking the auto-reboot button on Odin 4 and 7, and going that route. Both allow me to get into CWM, where I try to flash the recovery v5.zip. Still doesn't stick unfortunately.
My flash counter is up to about 10 now, trying to get CWM to stick..

Flashing 5.8.4.7 after renaming it to recovery.img with mobile odin did the trick for me and it stuck.
I used this guide below

Thanks everyone. I used CWM toolkit, reflashed the stock recovery, then used odin 3.07 to re-flash CWM 5.5.0.4 and it stuck.
Hi guys,
I have spent two nights reading many methods of rooting and flashing already, but I yet to come across a way to install CWM Recovery for my GT-I9100M without using a CF-root kernel.
The thing is, I want to keep the official 4.0.3 firmware I got from Kies.
I already figured out how to root without using a CF-root kernel. He does not have a CF kernel for my version anyways.
Back to my question. Is there a way?
I tried flashing the ZIP from ROM manager's website, but the recovery is only temporary. The next boot, it goes back to stock recovery.
In my Xperia X10, I could install CWM Recovery using a program after rooting. Not sure if I can do it for SG2.

You can flash kernels and you will not lose your official firmware.
All you would have to do is root your device and make a nandroid backup before you flash anything. Then you would have a copy of your firmware. Worst case, if you lose the backup, all you need to do is go to www.sammobile.com and download the firmware and flash through odin.

I see. Custom kernel is the only way to get recovery.
One other question though, is it okay to flash a ROM using a temporary CWM recovery (ie. recovery flashed indepedent of kernel)?

Hi just a quick question.I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sasktel Carrier (Canadian), model mumber: SGH-I747M and i cannot boot CWM Recovery. I have deleted the two /system/ files that some advised to do and i know i am rooted because i have SuperRoot but I still cannot boot it. So im wondering how i could boot CWM Recovery (Keep in mind im a pretty new to this stuff). Is it possible to root my phone more than once without bricking my phone?
i followed this video to root my phone and i was wondering if i could go through the steps again and try to reach the CWM recovery mode that way or would that brick my phone?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
You have to flash the recovery to boot into it

If I were to follow the instructions from your link could it brick my phone? I've already rooted my phone. Or is this just putting the recovery into my phone? Thanks for the help!

If you follow the procedure in the guide there is minimal risk of bricking your phone, and fortunately in the unlikely event something does go wrong most of the time you can use Odin to fix any mistakes. This procedure will just flash Clockworkmod Recovery and will not effect root access on your phone.

or just download Rom Manager from the play store and flash recovery that way.
1. Open Rom Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option in the app.
2. You’ll be asked to select your device, select your device name.
3. As soon as you select the model, it should begin installing the recovery.
4. When it has done installing the recovery, you will get a message for the same on your screen.
*NOTE: I do not recommend Rom Manager as a tool to do anything but just install and update ClockworkMod Recovery. Do not flash ROMs from Rom Manager.
I've heard rom manager is a great way to install custom roms. How would you recommend to install custom roms? Through cwm recovery? I cannot install it through rom manager because it says recovery setup instead of flash and when I do try it says i747m isn't supported

The problem with ROM Manger is that on newer devices it can brick your device if you use it to install custom ROMs or try to use it to flash a recovery image even if it is a device that has official Clockworkmod Recovery support. I would recommend either using Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project to install custom ROMs.

Hello, welcome to XDA.
You need to flash some compatible firmware using Odin or flash the JellyBam ROM again using the CWM. Did you try any of this methods?
You can find firmwares here: sammobile.com.

Well, my phone is stuck in the flashing stage and when I boot into recovery , it will also be stuck there.
Btw, can I use the the thing I first flash using Odin when flashing cwm on android 4.0.3?

How should I recover if my recovery is stuck in flash loop?
Odin-flash a stock, boot it, get twrp on it through fastboot, flash a ROM. Should work.

Do you mean stock rom? Could I just flash CWM recovery through Odin like I did before when rooting my phone?
Hello,
Could anyone reply?
I really need my phone fixed.
I managed to get into recovery but I didn't have any spare ROMs.
CWM can't mount my external SD too.
What now?
