Hello , i have a problem with my samsung s3, i tried to flash with odin the custom recovery philz (6.0.0 and 6.48.4) and cwm(6.0.4.7 and 6.0.3.2) with Odin 1.83 and 3.07. Odin finish resets the phone but when i try to boot in the Recovery appears the dead droid with the No Command message and boots in the original recovery. Can anyone help me, please. Sorry for my bad english.
You have a stock firmware, which will restore recovery at each boot.
i understand this. can i fix`it ? last night i spend some good hours searching for some solutions but no luck...
Root your device: you get a modified kernel and cwm-recovery. Then you can replace cwm (by TWRP f.e. ).
so first of all i need to root the device . not to try to instal the recovery via odin directly. can you please tell me some names of what i need to get ?
Go read the sticky thread in general forum, all you need to know is there.
ok thank you very much:good:

I've been searching all over the forums for hours and I can't seem to get a viable solution to my problem. Here's what happened:
New Samsung Galaxy S2 AT&T
I used the cyanogenmod wiki site to flash clockworkMod recovery:
not realizing that there was a separate page specifically for the S2 for AT&T....so end result is ClockworkMod recovery 4.0.1.4 instead of 5.0.2.3 using Heimdall suite. I don't know if this makes a difference
So with reboot my back and search buttons wouldn't work so I did a factory reset, now I'm stuck in boot loop
Went into CWM recovery, did clean wipe, but it won't let me flash any zip files (gives "no file or directory" error and installation aborted)
I never flashed any ROM's, just the CWM recovery
I don't know what to do. Please help.
I apologize if this is answered elsewhere, but I made an honest effort to search for it.
just follow this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309301 and flash 3 .tar files in odin...
Thanks for the reply zking. I actually saw that thread but wasn't sure if it was applicable. I'm a little confused. I've flashed CWM recovery before on other phones (G1 and G2) without any problems, but those required that I rooted them as well. The cyanogenmod site for the SII seemed (at least to me) to have indicated that root may not be necessary to flash a ROM. Is this true or am I just misinterpreting?
So as it stands, my phone is not rooted. Can this be reason I'm having a problem with CWM recovery? It's not giving me a mounting error, just says file doesn't exist, when I know it's there. Is it looking for .tar format?
and when you say flash 3 .tar files in odin....which files are you referring to (may be dumb question)
First flashed the required firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
than root accordingly as mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126522
after rooting as per the above method you ll have CWM recovery installed...and you can start using it accordingly.
Don't listen to zking. He's getting you to flash more wrong firmware to your phone. Go to the AT&T forum and download the correct cwm from there. The AT&T version of the phone doesn't work with I9100 firmware.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to flash a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 running Stock Android v.4.0.3 on Baseband I9100XXLPH.
I've searched a lot of threads but it seems that over the years there are 5 billion ways on how to root, install CWM and flash a ROM.
I'm not a 100% noob in this area as I successfully unlocked, rooted and flashed my HTC One X lately but:
Could someone please tell me the easiest way of rooting, installing CWM and flashing CM9.1 using the latest tools out there? Please also let me know on how to upgrade the Firmware if thats needed. I tried using Kies already but It keeps telling me that the device doesn't support that. And if someone could explain to me what a insecure kernel is compared to a original one, that would be fantastic!
I've already tried flashing CWM 5.8.1.5 using the standard samsung recovery but once I select "apply update from external storage" and select the CWM zip it starts CWM but after one reboot its gone again. I can repeat these steps everytime I would need CWM but isn't it supposed to replace the default samsung recovery?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I recently made some mistakes with my Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 while following this a tutorial on Galaxys2root.com (Can't link to the precise article because this is my first post) I flashed the CWM recovery tool linked by this website to my device through the latest version of Odin and afterwards my phone would not turn on. I was able to get into the Clockwork recovery mode however but couldnt install anything because I had forgotten to place any ROMS on my device beforehand. To try and resolve the problem I did a factory reset in the recovery mode but this did not effect anything. I am now unsure what to do next. I would still like to root my phone so that I cant get rid of all the bloatware put on it by Orange mobile as well as update my phone to Kitkat(Currently running Android 2.2) Can someone tell me what I have done wrong and what is the next step for me to take?
Thank you for any help that you can offer
the kernel you flashed it is the problem

is this site you are talking about:
http://galaxys2root.com/cwmtwrp-recovery
im guessing that is the problem(Installing CWM/TWRP recovery will most likely break the ROM you are running currently as it overwrites the ROM’s KERNEL).
If iam right,that means you have to flash another kernel,i suggest Siyah kernel 2.6.14 its for gingerbread version(it has CWM recovery and auto-root):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838
after that you can flash the KK rom you want through CWM .
i have done somthing wrong and was stuck on soft brick i managed to get by that now i am in recovery mode but that is all i get to do i cant find any working download links to any files i need to fix this i have i9100m running 2.3,3 i wanted to install newest carbon tried it and failed but dumb me didnt back up first i undertood it was because the cwm was to old so i tried flashing philz recovery but must of flashed wrong 1 now i am seriously stuck somone please help

Hey
Some days ago I flashed my boot-logo (the picture what says Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + when I start my phone) on my SM-G928F via TWRP. I think the file was corrupted, because my phone doesn't start anymore. I can't boot in TWRP or system, because there's a never ending blackscreen. I can only boot into download-mode. I flashed samsung stock rom via Odin but that didn't help, because the logo.jpg won't be replaced.
I tried other stuff like adb sideload but it didn't worked.
I think the only possibility to get my phone alive is to flash the stock samsung boot picture via Odin but I don't know how... I need a tar or md5 file for this...
I hope somebody is able to help me in this f***ing situation :crying:
Best regards
DGB
