can any body help me to install recovery and slimbean

Do a factory reset in recovery mode, if you have no recovery mode or the reset doesn't fix the bootloop, get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin following the instruction in thread stickied near the top of Q&A to get a clean slate. Then...
Pro tip 1: Read the instructions for what you were trying to do thoroughly & understand exactly what you need to do this time, the issues you're seeing are almost always caused by not doing something that's required, flashing a wrong file, etc.
Pro tip 2: If you flash CWRecovery independently, it will only persist till the next reboot because recovery is baked into the kernel. I recommend you root your phone by flashing a custom kernel, this will give you permanent CWRecovery & you can flash whatever rom/kernel you want from there. The thread I referred to above also has a very simple root method which involves flashing a custom kernel.
I dont think the kernel supports the Roms you tried.. find a compatible one..

I recently rooted the phone and wanted to install a custom rom. When I tried to back up the current stock rooted rom with rom manager, someone went wrong. So I was then stuck on a flashing black screen. But I can still access Odin/download mode. But whenever I try to flash something, it flashes, but the screen just reboots back to the flashing black screen. Help please I dont know what to do
What firmware base did you start from, and what method did you use to root the phone?
Rom Manager is not recommended for use on the I777 phone. You need a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery to back up the phone. Did you try to install ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager?
Need more information before we can help. So, answer the above, and provide as much detail in addition as you can.
I almost messed my phone up by not rooting or flashing a ROM the proper (safe) way and ended up using a return to stock / unroot guide to start fresh and just follow the guides for rooting and installing ROMs from there.
Any ideas why this could happen?
What I do everytime:
Flash XXLPB with ODIN 1.85, root with CF-Root v5.2 CWM, reboot, all fine.
Then I flash for ex. Carbon ROM Nighlty, GAPPS, reboot and it's stuck at triangle screen. Can't go to recovery, only download mode works.
I also tried "old" Carbon 1.8, and even other ROMS that worked like a charm some time ago.
All started when I tried yesterday to flash 4.3 Carbon nightly over 4.2.2 (1.8) Carbon w/o wiping...
Please help as for now I'm stuck with my 3310 xD
Back to stock via Odin/download mode (you don't really have another option), make sure you do a wipe/factory reset, try flashing the rom again.
I tried 4-5 times, and always the same is coming out! Is there any minimum requirement for flashing let's say 4.2.2? Shouldn't matter, right?
It shouldn't matter but we see cases on here all the time where for whatever reason, Odin flashes don't take on the first/second.....eighth (as an example), and for whatever reason, the ninth flash works. In other words, you need to persevere. Try different stock roms for your carrier (different Android versions, not just the recent ones - but don't use 4.0.4 in case you forget when you re-root your phone & do a wipe which will brick your phone). And keep trying. There's no easy fix for these situations unfortunately (search for Hopper8's 'Odin won't flash' thread, there's stuff in that thread you can try).
Actually the ODIN flash of the stock rom always works. But then I flash a rom through CWM and it bricks...
Is there a way to flash those roms with ODIN?
No. Almost all custom roms are CWM flashable.
OK...What I suggest you do is this...
*Clean install of stock with wipe/factory reset.
*Root your phone by flashing a custom kernel like PhilZ or Siyah (or Dorimanx).
*Do not flash a separate CWM or any other mod after you've rooted the phone.
*Read the first page of the thread devoted to the rom you want to flash very carefully. Flash the rom with CWM/follow the instructions to the letter (do not use Rom Manager or the CWM app from your homescreen; boot the phone into recovery & flash that way).
If you're seeing specific errors in CWM having done those steps (And do them again now even if you've done them previously), you need to tell us exactly what's going wrong in CWM. We're not mindreaders.
Edit - Your phone isn't bricked. Bricked phones don't boot. At all.
Thanks for the detailed answer.
Actually that's what I'm doing every time!
I'm trying to install 4.3 nightly build of carbon
I tried also stable build which was working well before...
There are no specific instructions, but I think it's pretty much standard:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Flash zip
3. Flash GAPPS
4. Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Reboot
Thanks!
EDIT: After flashing the custom rom the phone doesn't boot, it gets stuck at kernel panic upload mode. Once I managed to get into CWM but there I couldn't perform any action, it was freezed.
Hi Again,
it looks like everything worked fine. Maybe I had a strange version, or the CWM was to old (5).
Now I could flash what I wanted and it's not stuck at boot anymore!
Thanks for the help!
Perseverance is a beautiful thing.
First the specs. Samsung Galaxy s2 GT-9100 running Android 4.1.2 Build XWLSH Kernal 3.0.31-889555
Need a touch of help here. Finally had the nerve to root the GS2 on the weekend and clean out all the crud not required... so far so good
Had no success in attempts to install CWM Recovery through ROM Manager (Recovery setup > ClockworkMod Recovery > Galaxy S2 i9100 > "does not have an officially supported...."). Also found the Recovery builds on the official site but no guides whatsoever as to how to install... oh so helpful
Finally came across a guide at galaxys2root[dot]com on installing recovery from download mode using Odin. Ran through the process and ended up stuck at boot with no way of proceeding. After a panic session, was able to recover from back-up (thank god I backed up the ROM and all data before attempting to install CWM recovery). Now I'm right back where I started with no idea how to go replacing the stock recovery.
Can someone please shine some light on the situation? At a complete loss as to how to get the CWM Recovery on the phone without bricking it.
Cheers in advance
1) Don't use Rom Manager. At all. Uninstall it. It will break recovery & cause bootloop eventually if you continue to use it.
2) Thread stickied near the top of Q&A has all the info you need. Essentially, any CWM you flash independent of the kernel will only persist until the next reboot. Reason being recovery is baked into the kernel on the S2 & isn't a separate partition like other phones. So you flash a custom kernel, you end up with rooted phone + permanent CWM.

A huge thankyou for pointing me in the right direction. I had since the original post found Mobile Odin (invested in the pro version) and installed the CWM Recovery from the their site... only for it to revert back to stock recover screen At least now I know why.
After much hunting around - I notice the stickied posts don't make it easy to find the correct kernel for for the AU i9100 - I found the PhilZ cmw6 kernel build.... used Mobile Odin to flash and all is now rosy.
Now question.... I was under the impression that ROM Manager was required as an install with CWM. I use Online Nandroid Backup to create full ROM/Data backups and trying out Nandroid Manager for selective recovery.... is that all I need then now that CWM is successfully installed in recovery?
Cheers again
Can't speak to those products as I've never used them, but Rom Manager & the S2 is a big no no. Doing nandroid backups, which is essentially a 'snapshot' of your phone at the time you make it, by simply booting into CWRecovery & also backing up apps/app settings with Titanium has always done the job for me.
So I have a Sprint Galaxy Mega and it seems as though it may be semi-bricked. It will not boot past the GALAXY MEGA logo. It will just continuously power cycle to and from that logo. If I attempt to put it in recovery, it will say "RECOVERY BOOTING" in blue letters as usual, then power cycle right back to the GALAXY MEGA screen. It will boot into Odin mode and accept Odin files, but after attempting do do a typical "stock Odin" scenario, nothing has changed. I looked around for the Pit but cannot seem to find it. Does anyone has a reliable link to the latest Odin stock restore and the PIT file that matches it?
Maybe an error with your system data. So you can't reboot into recovery ? If you can try to wipe data and cache and reboot.
It may be an abnormal re-partition when flashing stock rock, and then I can't help you (have the i9205 international model). Some members of this section have the Sprint version, try to send them a PM if nobody can help you
Nope, no recovery. I was considering flashing a custom recovery to it to see what it does but I don't wanna kill the phone any more than it already is...
Yes I understand. But flashing custom recovery can solve your problem, only if you can boot on it. I think it can't make more damages to your phone, he just always stuck on boot phase like a brick, but if you don't want to try, wait for a developer making you a PIT file. More safe, the Galaxy Mega have a too poor development support for risk anything...
Well I went ahead and flashed TWRP to it. It will boot into TWRP just fine. Tried flashing the stock L900 ROM zip and it still won't boot.
Well I installed a custom ROM, SlimKat, and the phone boots. If I install the stock ROM located in the following link, OP's signature, the phone goes right back to bootlooping. ???
I need either the stock ROM or a ROM with dialer codes because this phone will be flashed to a regional carrier.
what recovry version you use bro. maybe recovery problem. try use your custom rom to flash another recovery from philz. the latest one. some time recovery dont work properly to downgrade from 4.4.2 to stock 4.2.2.
Great, so with Philz Touch Recovery, I never had problems for downgrade and I do this often for testing roms. Now it should not bootloop if you reflash stock.
I am using "CWM-based recovery 6.0.4.7"
I will try Philz recovery
After trying Philz recovery to flash the stock file I found, it once again bootlooped. Is there another stock ROM floating around somewhere or possibly a custom ROM that has dialer codes such as ##3282# enabled?
No idea... But actually the most complete stock based custom rom is MegaFire I think. Flash V5 (not V5x !) it should be enabled.
I don't see what is the problem while flashing stock rom... Oh ! Maybe you haven't enabled USB Debugging, I forgot to do that one time and I had some issues, in case you try to flash a firmware where Knox or others features are on with a modem without these, may cause bootloop. I've searched for 2 days before solve that little problem...
Have you tried another firmware ? If you can flash custom rom, something went wrong before flash... Odin folder is complete ?
Strange...once again a boot loop after flashing the MegaFire ROM
I'm almost certain I need the PIT file. I cannot find it anywhere.
Well I got the phone to boot from that rooted stock ROM FINALLY. I don't remember for sure but I think what I did was first flash TWRP, then flashed boot.img.tar that I found somewhere, it was listed for the Sprint Mega. I then booted into TWRP and flashed the stock rooted ROM(zip) I mentioned before. It now boots perfectly and everything works except one tiny little detail. No WiFi, no cellular signal at all. Baseband version: unknown in About phone.Already tried flashing the Sprint stock modem from the same download link as the ROM and it didn't work.
I'm having the same problem too dude, I
I download n flash all.the firmware I could find online, since I have no idea what the country of origin is. But most of them work, but no WiFi, Bluetoothand the sim card slot don't read

I'm trying to fix an ace gt-s5839i (rooted with stock ROM) that won't boot up, it always goes straight to recovery.
I've searched for fixes on this forum (and others) and the fixes i have tried so far have not worked, these include flashing a new recovery (clockwork), flashing a whole new custom ROM (razordroid and CM) and flashing stock ROM through Odin, also it won't even let me wipe data through recovery as it will just stick on formatting data.
Any idea what is up and how i can fix it? The phone belongs to a relative of mine and he said he woke up one day and the phone was in bootloop, he took out the battery and put it back it back in and ever since then it just goes straight to recovery.

Ok , I did mention troubleshooting method for similar cases like you in many posts here mate ,, Just get yourself stock s5830i firmware compatible with your Region/Carrier and make a wipe / split packages with the help of splitfus2 or simply use one of the pre-made packages >> Follow my instruction @post#4 from the line :"1. Download one of the newest ,,," to the end of the post .
btw razordroid was obsolete and buggy at the best of the times anyway , try newer/more stable from development sub forums .
After resolving your boot loop and partition issues you may flash your newer s5839i stock fw from i,e: sammobile database on top of your s5830i over Odin ( normal flashing procedure ).
Hope I did Help you
