Hey guys I have overcome rom on my galaxy tab 10.1 along with the overcome recovery 5.1.2.6. I was curious is it okay to flash none overcome roms with this recovery or do I need to put a generic cmw recovery on it? Thinking about flashing and trying out galaxytask on it for a bit.
Okay.. I tried to install galaxytask again and as soon as I get it started up and let it sit a while it starts locking up. So I used odin and flashed the recovery that comes with the root.zip and wiped completely then installed galaxytask again and it started to lock up again. It will freeze and the screen stays on and becomes unresponsive and the only thing I can do is a hard reset. I am installed my backup of overcome rom now hoping that works. I tried galaxytask 6.6 and 7 also in the past and they also locked up on me. Does anyone have any idea what could be locking it up every single time I try another rom?
Hey guys,
I recently flashed a new 4.3 rom to my S3 (Imperium 21.0).
After a while i decided to update the kernel to Googy Max, downloaded it from OTA and went to install it via TWRP, after installing the galaxy decided it wouldn't boot and just returned to the recovery all the time, i thought it must be the broken kernel and re-flashed the rom, everything was fine until i went back to the recovery (to backup the rom), after i finished backup and tried to restart my S3 the same happens, the galaxy just reboots back to the recovery, and the only way i found to get of it is to re-flash the rom :/
I don't want to re-flash it again... Any ideas what can i do?

Can close thread, after installing another recovery via Odin it was fixed
Device: AT&T Galaxy S III (SGH-I747) Rooted
ROM: Cyanogenmod 11
I have had my phone rooted and running a custom ROM for a few months now and I have decided that I no longer want to run a custom ROM. I looked up how to go back to stock ROM and everything said to: wipe cache and do a factory reset, download latest stock ROM off of Samsung's firmware website and flash the ROM from Odin. Every time that I did this, it would always fail even if i tried to install from recovery mode. I tried a few more times and it still didn't work. One post said that it was because TWRP, i downloaded and installed the stock recovery (which was the only successful install) and the other installs still didn't work through odin or recovery mode.
Is there anything that I am doing wrong, am I leaving a step out, or is something just flat out wrong with my device?
Assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Installed CWM and rooted my phone tonight, everything went well. I have a canadian sgh-i527m. I took a backup through cwm and tried to install cyanogenmod and it failed. I don't recall the error....tried two other and both both failed as well. Now I can reboot and get into recovery but when i try and restart the phone, it just reboots itself a couple times and goes back to recovery on its own.
I I tried restoring the backup and says it's successful, but then it hangs at the glowing samsung screen. I wiped the cache and device and can only get to recovery. I'm downloading the stock os for bell and will install that through odin in the morning, but can anyone help with what i'm doing wrong? I never had any issues installing many roms to my note II.
I was being a total dumbf**k yesterday and screwing with my Galaxy Player 5.0 to install Lollipop. I installed it, but I couldn't install Gapps, so I used ODIN tonight to attempt to restore it. Problem was, I installed the kernel in the Bootloader section, not the PDA section. I finally ended up installing it, however the boot animation is endless now. It only plays the sound at first bootup, then it shows the normal boot screen endlessly. Anyone help me as a stupid guy doing stupid things?
EDIT: I just installed Entropy's Daily kernel over it, however that did nothing. Also, I can not get to recovery AT ALL. In fact, I'm holding the button combo right now!
Can you access the Bootloader Menu on your YP - G70 ('DOWNLOAD Mode')?

You need to boot into download mode then flash the stock ROM with odin.
Then boot into recovery mode and do a factory data reset and cache wipe.
If it still does not work try flashing the stock ROM with the pit file.
Both the ROM and pit file can be found here:

When you flash the stock ROM, wait until you get to endless boot, then power off your device. Hold Up+Power until you see the Samsung logo. Go to Wipe data/factory reset, wipe, then restart your device. It's because the partitions aren't formatted, so no temporary data can be stored on the /data partition until you factory reset and it formats /data and /cache.
