I have a GT-N8013 (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 wifi model) and had flashed Ubuntu Tough to the device. The Ubuntu Touch distribution that was available at the time had iffy power management, so the tablet would require re-installation of Ubuntu if it froze or went into standby. Now as I am trying to revert it to Android for further research and general use, I am unable to get Android to load. I have tried flashing ClockworkMod to it in order to be able to flash Android ROMs that I have, but this does not seem to do anything. The device currently boots to Android System Recovery, which does not allow for custom ROMs to be loaded. I am using ODIN to flash the device. Any suggestions on how to get it back to Android?
you'll get more help if you post this in GNote 10 forums. but i'd suggest flashing a stock rom first to regain some functionality then flash custom roms

Hello, I'm having trouble resolving issues with my Google Nexus S 4g.
When I first bought it, I was not happy with the features it was offering so I searched and found out about the CM7(Cyanogenmod 7) mod, and decided that I wanted to try out a modded phone. I've been using CM7 for a few years now and have just plain become unhappy with what they're putting out and decided that I finally wanted my phone back to being normal and rooted. I booted into my clockworkmod(after backing up all apps/data with TitaniumBackup pro & taking pics/vids/etc off through USB) and decided to wipe my sdcard and all other options that Clockworkmod offers. After doing that I realized I made a horrible mistake...every time I go to reboot my phone, it ends up back at the boot menu and at the top it says "Fastboot Mode - No boot or recovery IMG" how would I go about resetting my phone back to a normal OS without being able to transfer stuff onto it without it being booted and having a USB option.
I would also take some feedback on which OS is better. ICS, JB, or GB.
Please, and thanks so much,
incog.

I was having trouble getting the drivers for Android 1.0 and searched around and found that PDANet works best for getting Android 1.0 drivers, I then had found a stock Jelly Bean OS and flashed it with fastboot, once I had all of the default img files, I booted up and my system updated to JB 4.1.1 and from there I rooted with a one click rooter and installed SuperSu.
All is fine now, I have my rooted JB 4.1.1.
If anyone is having trouble with reverting from Cyanogenmod, and can't figure it out, drop me a message.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback Jrcon.
I am looking for some help bc of all the roms out there I am really confused. Ihad a droid X before this and flashed several roms without a problem. Here is when I get lost:
Right now I am back on stock I605VRAMC3.
I use adam outliers root method to get rooted with super user acess.
This gives me TWRP not CWM.
If I use TWRP to flash a rom I end up with a bricked phone.
I would like to use a CM11 4.4 rom or something similar. When I watch the video on galaxynote2root.com the user uses CWM and if I use that on my phone it turns into a brick even after rooting. What step am I missing? I see some roms are touchwiz based. I'm not familiar with what touchwiz is or how to install ot before flashing roms or if I even need it for CM11. Anyone on the same build as me that has flashed several roms I would greatly appreciate any info so I can start to enjoy some of these roms and decide which one I like. Thanks.
Sorry, I haven't done this stuff to know exactly where the issue is, but I will assume you're more likely to get the answer in the development section since it's all about themes, roms, rom flashing, rooting etc. If not there, then the trouble shooting section. Hope that helps. (assuming you're still looking)
You can flash Philz recovery in twrp & switch to it. Then you can flash CM11.

You can use casual to root and unlock bootloader.... And then install cwm via rom manager apk... Hope this solves your concern

How is TWRP bricking your phone? I rooted with Outler's method and have had no problems with TWRP. You've mentioned that CWM has bricked your phone too. If that's the case, how were able to flash anything at all? As for TouchWiz, it's not anything you install. There are two basic types of ROMS for the N2. TouchWiz based, which have more of the Samsung apps along with the ROM customizations, and AOSP (Android Open Source Project). AOSP is more like stock Android, but with custom features. CM11 is an AOSP ROM. Here are the steps I took when I initially rooted:
Installed Samsung drivers to my laptop
Made sure Java was up to date
D/L Outler's Casual
Put phone in USB Debugging Mode
Attached phone
Ran Casual
Rooted phone (at this point I believe I had to select between CWM or TWRP)
There you have it. If you missed any of these steps, that could be the problem. Another issue might be that you're trying to use TWRP and CWM simultaneously
I'm assuming you are not wiping(factory reset. I do it three times) prior to your install. If you're not then your trying to install a rom on top of a rom and bam...boot loop.

+1 for this... when i tried to flash CM11 using TWRP I ended up in a bootloop.. restored my backup, downloaded rom manager apk from google play and used that to install CWM... then in CWM did a backup, wipe everything, and flashed CM11 + gapps and everything works without a hitch
one more note... my CWM backup was hanging on generating the MD5 sum, so i changed the encryption method away from the default... takes up more space on the ext-sd, but it works.
Hi all,
I am about to try to get my phone onto JellyBean, and have read through these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53235945
Think I get the drift, but one small question...where/what installs the newer Clockworkmod or TWRP recovery? Are they part of the ROM itself? The threads above make it sound as if they are, and if so, which versions of Jellybean use which recovery software (I can use either, per se, since I have tried both on my Nook Color, but that was easy compared to this install). If they're not, where in the process should they be installed?
Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

Yes jellybean wasn't particular about which recovery you could flash from.
Yes the ROM includes the recovery and the kernel.
yes on the fascinate the recovery and kernel are built together, and can only be installed as one item.
This is different from nearly every device.
In my listing of kernel/recoveries, that is why i tried to include which recovery it comes with and the ROM from which it was combined with so you can go back to reference if needed.
The actual functioning of the two recoveries is not different. they both do exactly the same thing just the ui it's different and some prefer one over the other...
Thanks very much...I am now successfully playing around with my 4.2.2 version of Paranoid Android.

Hello everyone.
As the title says I recently got my hands on a Samsung Vibrant. I have it from a friend who just left the apartment we lived in together for 5 months as she didn't need it anymore. It currently has a MIUI ROM on it and I'd like to change it to sada23's unofficial CM 11.0
The problem is however that my only previous experience with flashing ROM was with a Samsung Galaxy Chat when I slapped Jelly Bean on it which was only released in a few countries. So I went right ahead but found the amount of things I have to do overwhelming compared to when I just used ODIN on the old phone.
I'm trying to tell what the current status is of the phone and this is what I've been able to come up with so far. (also after googling what everything is and does lol)
- MIUI present so custom ROM install definitely possible
- When I booted into recovery mode I saw it has: "Semaphore CWM Recovery v6.0.1.9" (which I presume is outdated)
- BY default the MIUI ROM apparently has a superuser app (which lead me to think that the device is rooted), however everytime I try to use an app that requires root I encounter errors.
I just did a backup using the recovery mode with semaphore cause I saw this is usually a first step in all the guides I've read. However from here on out I am completely clueless on what to do because all the guides were so different from eachother and I have a feeling my phone is in a vague situation. (root/not rooted?)
So I was hoping someone here could point me into the right direction and help me get to CM from MIUI. Thank you in advance.
I'll be following this thread.. kinda in a similar situation. Although a bit worse. I had an old vibrant in a drawer from years back in mint condish!.. last thing I did was root and install recovery. Unfortunately I'm a stooge and without thinking threw a 4.4 rom zip on the phone.. booted to recovery and cleaned and tried to flash.. bottom line i'm in a bootloop now... and I gave up when odin wasn't detecting the phone.. I"ll figure that out eventually, but it would be great to just have a 4.4 Odin tar for a quick and painless install... or at least a tar from a 4.0 with root and recovery to make the 4.4 upgrade easy.
Also would be interested in knowing if the 4.4 roms work well.. Gps will be most important to me since I plan to use this as my jogging phone.
alrighty.. let's get this party started!
Edit - I think the best thing for you to do is odin back to stock then root install custom bootloader and then flash your new rom, I've heard that you can go straight to kk from stock but the guy who posted above me has problems because of that so I would try flashing an ICS ROM for the recovery first, and don't forget to make a nandroid backup

Hi All... help...
I have a Note3 SM-N9005 which is rooted. I have been trying to get CWM installed.
I started by using ROM Manager and this just didnt work at all - the recovery partition stayed stock.
So I downloaded the Samsung Note 3 (International) recovery image (6.0.4.6) (non-touch) from https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager.
I used Cygwin to convert to a .tar file and then flashed to PDA using Odin.
All looked OK and Odin passed the install - however when I tried to reboot into recovery my Note3 just gets stuck in a boot loop - the only way I could get it working again was to re-flash using Odin and when it reboots it starts and works normally - but if I reboot into recovery mode it just keeps re-booting!!
Any thoughts on how to fix this or whether the best option is to flash a whole ROM with CWM already packed? Alternatively - any ideas on where I can get a CWM file which will work on my Note3?
Also - now this has started getting messy, any advice on backing up EFS (just in case )
Thanks in advance
So you reflashed the whole stock firmware via Odin and recovery still isn't working? Very strange. Rom Manager sucks and has for years now. Why didn't you just grab either CWM or TWRP (which I find way better for most phones) from the subforum for your phone here on Xda?

Hi es0tericcha0s
Thanks - TBH I have only just replaced my S4 with the Note3 and just set everything up - so didnt want to reflash with a custom ROM so followed the instructions for installing CWM... and failed I did install TWRP a while ago and couldnt really get on with it - if you think it is better I might reflash the whole phone with a new ROM and give it a go.
I think I did download a CWM img file from here and when I flashed it to PDA the phone wouldnt boot at all - from memory I am sure it came up saying it couldnt boot and enetered "Odin mode"... I will have to back up my important stuff and try again tonight.
Any recommendations on a good ROM to play with? Need a stable product ideally as I dont get much time to play
Thanks
I would just restore the entire phone with the stock firmware file and start fresh. TWRP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494245 As far as roms, I haven't played with the international Note 3 in awhile, but I typically recommend stock based roms for less potential issues (I personally prefer CM based roms, but I have more time and experience with dealing with possible problems than most). I would take a look at AllianceRom if you want to customize a lot on stock based http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571255 or Omega http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470441
As always, you should read through some of the stuff other active users are saying about it to make sure it fits your needs, but those development teams support a lot of Samsung devices and usually provide solid updates.

Thanks es0tericcha0s - I downloaded the TWRP tar and flashed to PDA - all worked first time... I will give it a go and see how I get on, when I get more time I will do a clean flash too!
Good deal. Lemme know if you need anything else.
