I am on Samsung Grand Quattro. I have a rooted device. My phone has cwm installed. I tried to backup my existing rom and flash a new one. the new rom was flashed correctly. But now my phone directly boots to cwm. I tried to reflash cwm but my bootloader is not recognized by my PCs. I tried adb to go to bootloader but phone boots only to cwm. Please help me reflash cwm using odin. :crying:
You can either use cwm to flash stock recovery and exit the bootloop or enter on download mode and reflash cwm
Did what u said

And about download mode, have you tried it? Do you know how to enter on this mode, right?
(BTW, are you calling "download mode" bootloader?)
Bootloader is accesible

yup i can access the downloader mode (bootloader). But it doesn't connect to the pc.....
Update: I tried it again, but now only the samsung screen appears with the yellow triangle and then it switches off. No bootloader, no cwm....

It can be a problem with your drivers. Have you already installed Kies? This program provides drivers for your device, so Odin will be able to recognize it.
And, well... if you can't enter on download mode, I think you will need to have technical support

i was thinking the same thing. u cant flash to stock using kies on a custom rom, but u can flash back to stock via odin.
for odin to recognize your phone, please get your phone into download mode where by your screen will only show the word "downloading" in yellow...
Go to download mode (hold down Vol down+power+home) then connect to pc. If that won't work, put off your sim, sd, battery. Connect to pc. Now hold down vol down + power + home for a while. Now put in your battery and again hold down vol down + power + home. That worked for me when i broke my rom It don't have to work for you. You can try this only at your own risk.

if you has RESTORE the Backup in CWM, before reboot, perform full wipe/data. if still bootloop, Shutdown and perform full wipe/data again. I had experience too. Sorry for my English.
If your device not detect on your PC, reinstall SAMSUNG DRIVER and REBOOT.

A little more details would be good. What device do you have? And to clarify, you clicked boot into recovery and even after a battery pull it didn't boot?

again problem,when try enter in download mode,it says RAMDUMP MODE,wtf is that?
All answers are here in the GalaxyS+Wiki. By the way : You can't use RomToolbox or RomManager for installing CWM on the S+. You need a file for Odin or a flashable zip.
thanks all for advice...problem resolved...I installed new firmware 2.3.6..and he work,but i have another problem,when I try install application from market,my samsung before the end of the installation is reset, and so constantly, why????
Hello, this is my problem.
My brother has a Galaxy Player YP-G1CWYXAA (U.S. version) and he tried to install a kernel, but it was not for that model, so the player was bricked, just started in download mode (using key combination)
I have tried to restore it using several tutorials, wtih the same result. If I try to install the original kernel in ODIN get FAIL, other kernels it is possible to install but the player always starts in recovery mode.
I can install roms using recovery, but always starts in recovery. I read that it is necessary to do a fullwipe and wipe cache partition. I did it and the problem continues.
I need to suggest me what else I can do.
Thanks
PD: sorry for my english

I've tried a lot of times. There are several tutorials, I've followed all of them without positive results. Using "stock rom" and ODIN I get "FAIL" when flashing kernel. Using Heimdal suite, there is a problem with "libusb-12", there is no way to do it.
I've tried everything I found during last week, always the same result: stock kernel doesn't function and custom kernels get me to recovery.
Thanks
PD: I'm not a noob, I have some experience flashing phones with ODIN, Flashtools (Sony) an others
I just recovered my Player 4.0 USA from the same symptoms. I tried everything to get it to boot but I could only get to recovery or download mode after a failed attempt to revert from ICS. By default, it would just boot directly to recovery. I also got FAIL with odin and the stock rom that you referenced. The problem is that the Odin package for our player in the stock rom thread is corrupt. I downloaded Heimdall and used the other package for our device and was able to flash it back to stock successfully.
As for the errors you got in Heimdall, did you make sure to overwrite the drivers in heimdall before starting? While in Download mode, you have to go to Drivers/Zadig.exe in the heimdall folder and hit "show all devices" (or whatever it says in the menu) and then find anything that says samsung and hit replace driver. Once you do that, Heimdall will work. I originally had the same problem as you because I only replaced the driver while in CWM recovery (which was in ADB mode) and when I rebooted to download mode, it failed with the exact same error message.
Hope that helps.

That's because you installed heimdall driver. If you want to get it detected by odin, just go into device manager and uninstall the samsung driver then unplug your device and plug it back. The normal driver should be re-installed properly and odin should be detecting it after. Or, I think there is an option in zadig driver to unistall it but I'm not sure.

Well what happened when you actually attempted to flash the player directly from heimdall? Heimdall is not just for drivers, but an alternative to Odin (and in my case, the only way I could get the factory flash to take because using Odin, it failed every time).
I am trying to install a stock or custom recovery mode for the time being. I have lost the recovery mode trying to install a custom ROM. Now no matter what I do, I just can't install a recovery mode.
CWM - odin's progress bar is stuck on 0%
TWRP - odin crashes after you click start on the program
Installing from SD Card - soft bricks the phone since it will force into recovery mode.
I truly need a lot of help and would appreciate any assistance or someone to message to guide me step by step. Thanks.

Just in case -- flashing with Odin may require that you are using the stock Samsung USB cable. Are you?
Everything on it is still factory stock, except it is rooted which has been working properly for some time. Worst case scenario I might have to redo this. This is my first custom rom installation basically.
It's the stock USB cable that came with the Note. And I also tried different USB ports.

What's the exact filename you are trying to flash? I remember when flashing recovery to my Note (AT&T-branded Note), I loaded cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 into the "PDA" field of Odin version 1.85 and left the check-boxes as-is.
Have you used Odin ever before to flash this phone? I'm wondering if the driver has been installed so your PC can recognize the Odin mode that the phone is in. I recall the driver I used was USB_Driver_for_ATT_I717_Galaxy_Note_v1_3_2200_0.exe

I've used Odin before to root my phone and had no problems with it. The file names are:
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-879.img.tar.md5 (Crashed Odin)
clockworkmod_touch_recovery_5.8.4.3_i717.tar (Odin had no progress)
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-i717.img.tar.md5 (Crashed Odin)
I can't find any of the latest version of CMW or TWRP for a CM10 installation that works.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but since you're rooted, can't you install goo manager and have it install the recovery?

I've used it twice and it's very easy to follow. download the zip they have under "sponsored link" and use the Tar in the zip. Also verify that your phone is being seen by your computer, it should display in your device manager as well as show a COM in odin.
USB is fine, no bends, kinks, or frays. The computer recognizes the cord for charging and accessing the phone and the Yellow or Blue COM shows up properly in Odin. I tried the GooManager to install TWRP and it downloads the recovery, says it is installing it and after about 10 minutes goes back to the home screen. No successful installation notification or anything. ROMmanger just fails for me. It shows my recovery as 5.X.X.X and when trying to flash it just hangs on the Flashing popup forever until the screen turns off or a button is press or the screen is touched.
The phone is rooted fine, I just need to put the samsung recovery, twrp, or cwm on it to update it to the latest version to install CM10. Right now there is no recovery mode, just download mode for Odin.

If you tried installing all those recoveries in odin and failed, I would try starting over from scratch. When people soft brick their phones they go here and follow instructions. That link has an odin .tar prepared with the stock AT&T Kernel, System, and Recovery. Notice it says RECOVERY! After flashing that in odin you should be able to boot into recovery and take over from there.
Try that and report back!
I have an idea...do away with Odin altogether
but it's advanced and could potentially brick you.
Take a tar with the recovery you wanna use and extract that file. Take recovery.img and put it on your sd-card (put it on the internal and external sd-card just to be sure).then connect to pc.
Now Issue the following adb command. I SUGGEST YOU COPY AND PASTE IT, IF YOU TYPE IT WRONG YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK

Hey, I'll explain you what I did ;
After I rooted my device, I booted the device and it worked. After that, I installed CWM, tried to turn on the device and it doesnt work! stuck on boot animation..
Soo...I downloaded SiyahKernel which is the most basic and for major users kernel. You can download it here :
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?cat=5
You install ODIN on your PC, open it, and click on PDA and open the kernel you downloaded(siyah kernel), you put your device on Download Mode (you press volume down, home, and power button. you will see the download mode screen, it will ask you to press volume up or volume down, PRESS THE VOLUME UP! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY ODIN WILL FIND YOUR DEVICE!). And than on Odin you press start. Hope it helped
