Please help me what to do? I'm stuck in a boot loop after flashing a zip file that was supposed to let Arabic supported, but I guess the zip file was wrong or something?
Is it fixed by flashing a flashable zip that has a framework or something? Excuse me I'm such a noob
Can anyone provide a flashable zip file that would make it work again? No need for Arabic, I just want it booting normally again.
Thank you.

You need to flash stock rom again with Odin this will restore any files that got modified.

Ok, I installed the stock ROM and Odin, but now it doesn't acknowledge the connection. It says no devices connected. :/ How can I let the pc identify my Galaxy S3?

Hey guys!
The ClockworkMod recovery has been released. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787168 Check out this post and do what it says. Once it is finished go download ROM Manager from the Market and update your recovery! I will have a rom out ASAP after I get it tested :] If you wanna test email me at [email protected]
Which of those 3 zip files needs to be flashed ?
So does that mean that samsung reviewed and fixed the code they released or was there something that the devs were missing when trying to build the kernel?

This is not built from source, this is a duct taped together version of recovery, it should work for now though.
I've got CWM running on my Fascinate! =)
Too bad it doesn't mount the SDcard and it places nandroid backups in /data, but it's a start. =)
Do we flash it in ODIN using the PDA box ?

good stuff!
Very exciting news.. Looking forward to coming home and giving it a try.. at least making a full nandroid backup.. I've had to rebuild this phone from scratch way too many times now.
I'm not really clear on the instructions.
I have downloaded the captivate_recovery.zip but I'm not sure how to proceed from that point. Am I using Odin?
This isn't working for me, I flashed the tar file in ODIN and then installed clockwork from rom manager. When I click reboot into recovery it loads up a stock recovery and gives some errors under it.
Update with more info:
When I reboot into recovery from RomManager I get
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I'm thinking this means the ODIN flash didn't work correctly
Maybe someone could post clear step-by-step instructions?
what tar file cheeto. all i'm seeing is three zip files, that when unzipped have no extension. a little help?

You flashed a new recovery kernel with the clockworkmod recovery binary. I'm confused why you would try and install again, on top of it, from ROM manager? (Don't take that the wrong way.. that's not an "OMG Why would you do that?!" It's an "I'm not following your logic".. )
Re-do your initial step (flash recovery via odin) and that should be it, unless I'm missing something here.
and for those of us still out of the loop... how do you flash the recovery via odin? add a .tar to the file in the zip? rename the .zip file to .tar? help us out please.

Hang in there, I know it's frustrating. Let us get some more feedback on this and how it's working before the steps are broken down so that anyone can follow along. The last thing we all want to see is post after post from people who did this not knowing how to fix their phones if something goes wrong.
If you're confident you know what's going on, the posts are there, in the Fascinate forum, on how to use odin. Feel free to check them out.
BE CAREFUL EVERYONE. there are quite a few issues with cwm still, It doesn't detect the sdcard, so you wont be able to flash a backup. and you can only get into recovery by rebooting into recovery through rom manager.
People please tell me how to repack zip to tar....for purpose of flashing....
I tried 7zip but it did'nt worked it just puts file in tar format....
i want full details?????

Buddy i already told that 7zip just puts in tar format but do not convert the files in the tar components(Mdem,etc)
You might explain what you are trying to achieve by putting a zip into a tar .
Are you trying to make a CWM zip file flash-able via Odin .
jje
Can it be done ?
Lol, that sounds cool. Anyway, I think I'll keep flashing tars with odin and zips with CWM because what you sugest scares the **** out of me. Anyway I'll keep reading this thread out of curiosity.
so your trying to make an update.zip file into an odin.tar file to flash in pda?
I think he ment if you download (for example) new clockwork recovery version in zip format (ment for flashing thru phone recovery) can it be transformed into .tar (ment for flashing thru odin) !
I would also like to know this.

Tar To Zip
I dont know why you are trying to flash a zip via odin by converting it CWM works just fine if u have the latest kernel. I did find some old cwm kernels were not seeing zip files on my sd card make sure you have the latest. From here K13 or k14 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 bottom of the page worked for me.
im curious about this, ever since i rooted and flashed my kernel, i cant properly install ANY CWM roms. on aborts drring verification. I was consierding repacking the ZIP and flashing with ODIN.... just annoying i cant flash any of my roms
Thats usual if CWM is 3e not 4e .
jje
I would also like to know if its possible to repack cwm .zip file into ODIN .tar?? Why? I dont want to have root. I tried with yaffey-v0.2 but for now, no luck.
Only problem is to make a working system.img. Tar package can be done with commands in cygwin or in Samsung tool kit...
Help anybody??

You are in the S2 Forum here. Which version of odin and which FW are you trying to flash? Whats the error message you get?
Yes it can be done and it's pretty easy to do. Google is you're friend. I've converted devil recovery and also modems and all work fine with odin.
i was rooting my galaxy note and i was flashing CWM and its stuck in ODIN with recovery.img Help please...
Is still stuck? ...what file where you flashing? Are you flashing the right version for your phone?

Everything you need is in the DEV section. ODIN CWM dated 4/14 I think then flash SU for ICS. There was a thread for that and I am sure it is in the how to root threads as well.
Done.

I had the same issue with the original ICS leak. Odin had issues running on my pc because it is a 64bit machine and ended up making the phone unbootable i switched to a old 32bit computer instead and it worked flawlessly.
I have a kernel that needs to be flashed trough odin, but I want to convert it into a flashable zip.
To do that, all i need to do is download a flashable custom kernel, delete the boot.img that comes inside the zip file and move the boot.img of the other kernel (the one that comes in .tar) kernel into the flashable zip and then flash through cwm?
Do i need to do something else or with that it should work?
Thanks you in advance.
Just open the zip file and add your .img or .bin (for the modem flasher).
Don't forget to delete the .txt file.
That's all.

maybe i9300 and s3 mini have different recovery partition, when you are using flashable zip from other model you are not only porting the img but you have to check and edit also the updater-script to match it with your model partition thats why it messed up your phone's partition.

You mention that u cant access recovery and download mode so the technician has no way to check the status of your phone if rooted or not?
If you bring it for warranty repair just dont tell them that u rooted it and flashed anything, just make your own reasoning so u dont have to pay for the repair.
Hey guys,
So I tried to root my S6 Edge and it got stuck on startup, I tried flashing back to the stock ROM, for the SMG-925F, which is the phone I have. Odin fails when flashing the rom. On my phone it says SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: , BINARY: 2.
I would really appreciate help as I just got this phone and it is quite frustrating.
Thanks for all the great work you guys do.
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
If so, upload zipped ROM via USB (MTP or USB host) boot to recovery, flash a 5.0.1 ROM from there, flash supersu afterwards and reboot system.
If no custom recovery , you can still try Samsung KIES software and use emergency recovery,
Hey. I have fixed my issue. I extracted my stock rom to a folder, deleted hidden.img/cm.bin/modem.bin and it let me use it. Can anyone explain why this worked? Thanks

The reason you probalby got stuck in starting screen is because you did not unlock the bootloader from developer setting which will cause it not to boot. But for the second part I don't know why odin does this; it seems like extracting the package let's you install the things that are actually needed.
