Hello xda,
I've decided to root my xt910 and install cm rom. Root went smoothly however i had problems with the custom recovery. At first i tried safestarps but i couldn't flash the zip it keep aborting the installation :
Set_perm some changes failed. I've tried to install cwm 5.0.8.0 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751826 but i got status 7 trying to flash the rom after factory reset and wiping cache. Couldn't find in updater scripts the assert part that i need to delete to make status 7 disappear because of compatibility. I tried to wipe dalvik cache and formatting system which afterwards i manage to flash the rom. At the end i received message "if rom wasnt flashed on rom slot - 1 phone will not boot!!! This will be fixed soon. "
When i tried reboot system nothing boots. And when i try to boot to recovery i get to stock recovery although i had installed cwm.
Now i end of with a bricked phone. My questions are:
1. How can i unbrick?
2. I backed up nandroid with cwm but i cant acces cwm only stock recovery? Why is that and how can i get to cwm?
3. Why my phone is not booting? I did not flash with safestarps so it wasn't flashed on rom slot-1
4. I only have acces to stock rom, ive download a firmware update Jb 4.1.2 can i flash it with stock recovery to solved my brick?
Am i still rooted? Because i read i need to unroot before updating. How can i unroot if i only have stock recovery?
Please help!!! I can't afford lossing this phone!
Anyone? Please im not sure what can i do. Should i use rsd to flash fastboot or can i do anything else?

Hi All...
I was trying to install a new ROM, but before, i wipe the user settings, cache partition and dalvik cache...
Since the new files was not ok, the instalation was aborted... The previous rom (villainROM 3) kept looping around and around and did not boot.
So, with ODIN, i flashed an official ROM, like i've did before, installed CWM APP and try to boot into recovery mode, but now, all i have is android system recovery... The CWM recovery is not there...
I've already installed rom manager and installed CWM Recovery from there, but still no sucess...
How can i revert this and have CWM recovery so i can install roms again ?
Cheers,

Hi,
Currently using latest firmware KI3 with root.
I'm able to use CWM, backup, install zips, everything.
However, if i install a ROM trough a ZIP, i get a boot loop.
Only way to get back the phone, it's to install via ODIN with latest KI3.
Even tried with Litening Rom, and got the boot loop.
Any ideas ?
I was very keen to return to CM7.
Tx in advance.
Did you exactly what's mentioned here?
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Did you try flashing a old stock ROM like KH3, root it then try from this base?
I went from Villain ROM 2.3.5 to CyanogenMOD without any problems.
It's essential that you flash CyanogenMOD !TWICE! in a row when you're coming from a stock ROM.
Thanks.
Gonna check, as soon as i'm @ 127.0.0.1
Same behaviour, back to boot loop.
Tanx anyway!
I had a similar problem so here goes my help.
Cf root kernel uses a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or something like that. So what I did was flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693. Get the kernel with CWM 5.x.y.z With that I got a compatible version of CWM and from there I flashed CM7. It is important that you do a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format \system, everything so you don't get any trouble. THen you flash the CM7 zip file, when tha t is done, flash the zip again for a second time (don't reboot just do it after the first flash). After that reboot. That worked for me at least.
A tip: If you can't reboot your phone and you have no ROM zip file to flash via CWM you can mount usb storage from CWM for putting the ROM in sd card and flash with CWM. That way you don't have to use ODIN to recover.
Tanx Tomas.
Tried with CWM 5.x.y.z and upon "WIPE" always got an error for mounting partitions.
Could't mount CACHE, SDCARD .....
Tx anyway.
Back to ODIN, back to stock 2.3.5
PS : I have to get a JIG to reset ...
Apologies this is my first post and am asking for help but this is driving me crazy now!
I don't seem to be able to flash ANY ROM zip files through CWM. When I try to install a Rom it loads for about 20seconds, says "finding update zip" "installing update zip" then "zip installed " then when it reboots it is stuck in a loop on the Samsung logo start up screen (one with the yellow triangle to say it is rooted).
Only thing I can do to get it working is to flash a ROM (new stock ICS one) through Odin, then root and restore from my backup - the only backup that will work is my backup of the ICS ROM none of my other backups work CM7 / CM9 if I try and restore them I just get in to the same loop.
I have tried this loads of times now - factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, format system partition. I have tried installing ROM zip files twice etc etc.
This went wrong when I flashed the new stock ICS ROM in odin then tried to do a restore to CM7 not sure what I have managed to do to get it like this.
Anyone any ideas of what I can do to get it so I can install ROM's via CWM again so I can get back to CM7 or CM9?
Any help much appreciated - thanks.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have tried flashing a new kernel a few times now but still get the same thing when I try and flash a new ROM in CWM, the install takes about 20 seconds then the phone is stuck in a loop at the first boot screen.
Any more ideas on what I can do?
:edit:
aha fixed this now, I followed this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 on Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII had to do the bootloader to get it to work.
Hi!
Need a help!
Recently I've tried to root my tab 10.1 p7500. But I failed. Then I've reinstalled my device.
Now, when I try to access the recovery, I get something different.
I no more have the 'update from your SD card.
But I have : update from external storage and update from cache.
Please help!
Here is some pic.
This is the factory recovery.
To root you'll need to flash a custom recovery.
Follow anyone of the numerous tutorials available and try again
i am at the same area. was just handed this device and cannot unlock bootloader. is there any updated ways to unlock the bootloader?
Because this is the factory recovery, that's why,
Go to droidbasement.com and download the cwm-based recovery, flash this via odin's pda slot, i think pershoot explained it on the site how you should flash it, BUT READ BEFORE YOU FLASH THINGS ON YOUR TAB!
Once you have the cwm based recovery installed, move the rom you want to install to your device and boot again in recovery,now you should be able to flash ROM'S via this custom recovery
If you have more questions feel free to ask
Edit: before you flash another rom, data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cashe via cwm recovery first
factory recovery.
flash an CWM with odin!
I was using the Nightly ROM and when i tried to flash an update, my NEXUS 9 went into a boot loop(I had lost root earlier). I was able to go into recovery but even after flashing the lastest zip, had the same bootloop problem. SO i decided to flash an updated SU hoping to get back root privelages. and reflash Nightly, G apps and SU. Still bootloop (Overnight)
After all this i did the mistake of doing an Advanced Wipe which wiped all the data on the device. When I go into recovery i get the "Keep system read only message"
Unable to load any ROM or Flash it. Please help.
Trying to use fastboot to load the factory image
At the moment , trying to flash in the factory image for the NEXUS 9 to restore the system , boot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-flash-t3035153
is very useful.
But i am wondering is there another way around this mistake.

You have to select not to keep system read only. If you're having trouble flashing the factory image, try using wugfresh nexus root toolkit. It's here in the forum. It installs on PC and it downloads and flashes everything for you. It has some great features.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2945451
I am currently having the same issue. I am using wugfresh toolkit. to get it back to stock and start over. Don't know why it is not wanting to read data. Never had this issue until today. It looks like wugfresh saved the day.
