I feel like such a n00b but I've literally flashed dozens of ROM's between my Captivate and my Infuse.
Thanks for Entropy, I have my modem back so I can make calls (thank you!).
Now I'm trying to get back into CWM but everytime I flash it in Rom Manager...then reboot into recovery I get this error..
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
And that's in 3e...it won't boot into CWM.
I tried rerooting and using the SGH-I777_ClockwordMod-Reovery_5.0.2.3.tar in Odin...when I reboot in recovery...it freezes up...
Any suggestions?
Hmm that one is odd.
Until further notice - don't use ROM Manager on our device. Kernel-included CWM is the way to go. My guess is that somehow ROM manager dorked up your system partition. You may need to Odin/Heimdall back to stock, then flash codeworkx's CWM kernel, although I'm surprised you weren't able to enter CWM after flashing codeworkx's kernel...
Edit: When you say it "freezes up" - do you mean stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S II screen, or does CWM come up?
If I flash back to stock and try to get into recovery...I get stuck at the above mentioned screen.
If I Odin the CWM 5.0.2.3 package and try to get into recovery...I get into the light blue recovery screen but every option I click on just brings me to the Rom Manager Hat Icon and does nothing (even though I don't have Rom Manager installed anymore). I get stuck in that menu...pull the battery...reboot...still in light blue CWM menu but every option just brings up the Rom Manager Icon.
Only way to "fix" is to get back into download mode, odin back to stock or re-odin the CWM 5.0.2.3 tar again. But, again, if I try to get into recovery from stock...3e recovery (ie useless) if I Odin back to CWM.tar...I get stuck in Rom Manager Icon hell.

Furthermore, the first day I had the phone, I used Rom Manager to install MUIU and it worked fine! Except I had the wrong modem (which I just found out today). I thought MIUI screwed up my phone (because I was unable to make calls) so I then flashed back to stock. Luckily someone posted the stock modem up and I installed that...phone works fine.
I'd like to get MIUI on again because it was smooth as butter and all I did is download the Rom Manager version...i Know it's not supposed to work but it did.

Might be because the buttons aren't the same as they are on the Captivate and each time you hit power or menu (which used to be select on the Captivate) it kinda blanks out the menu until you press it again. Use the volume keys to move up and down, home button to select, and back button to go back.
whoa, I'm retarded...that worked...thanks!
Yeah I was losing my mind too when I was first trying to flash Cognition. Just started mashing buttons and got lucky

I9100 roms will work to an extent, but like you noticed there roms do not support our modems or capacitive keys. Could be other things that are unsupported as well.

This is correct - it's why you see a bunch of posts between myself, codeworkx, and atinm in the CWM thread.
The current behavior is a bit odd, but it is usable, it's just not documented properly right now.
I have a similar problem, I've found that whenever I get that message, and none of the options on cwm work I pull the battery and turn it back on and the install resumes. Not sure why it hangs up like that but its led to a few tense moments already
Hello,
I was going to sell my phone to a friend today. I was running CWM recovery and paranoid android ICS. Anyways, I simply went to settings --- > factory reset ---> checked "wipe sd card" and hit OK.
Now it won't boot. It'll go to the Galaxy S II screen and shutoff. It boot loops while trying to boot into recovery mode.
I can, however, get it into download mode. I was looking at guides on here on how to reset it and are confused as can be. Where can I download Heimdall (yes, I googled it, couldn't find the download on their site.)
I'm on Mac OS X, if that helps, however I can get windows if it'll make everything easier.
Thank you
Use the guide linked in my signature, for returning the phone to stock. Link for heimdall is in the guide.
First enter recovery if possible, and perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. If successful, joy.
If not successful, then flash stock using Heimdall, or borrow a pc and use Odin.
Forgot what I said earlier...I hooked up my Windows 7 SSD and booted into Windows.
I flashed everything successfully in Odin (only flashed a PDA/Phone part, not bootloader or CSC.)
Now it's stuck looping "Rethink Possible" AT&T Logo. However, I can get into some form of android recover. I don't know what I can flash through it, though.
Any help?
Thank you

I'm having trouble booting my phone. I rooted using Odin3 and siyah 3.4.2 it flashed i was no longer able to view video or the live picture of the camera. I was using another site galaxys2root.com as my guide and failed to be resolved in the forum there. In an attempt to resolve the issue I went into factory reset using power vol+ vol- and tried to wipe the system but it didnt reset competely still had the siyah running. I then attempted to use reset within setting and now i am stuck at the first boot screen "samsung galaxy sII GT-I9100". It will also show charging but only briefly then it goes black. I would just like to get back to stock ROM if possible. Please advise.

Bad choice going to galaxys2root.com. Now I have said it. Let see what we can do to get you back.
1st - if you can get into the recovery mode, go here and download AJ's Siyah kernel. Download your favorite ROM
2nd - Flash the ROM first, then Flash Siyah kernel through recovery. Reboot and you should be good to go.
Enjoy.
I am a new Transformer Prime user, but not new to Android. My Prime is stuck on the initial "ASUS" splash screen (with NVIDIA logo).
I got my TFP yesterday and decided to put CM10 on it to see if it would fix the lag I was having (came with JB 4.1.1). Since it came with JB, I knew I couldn't use nvflash so I used the ASUS unlock tool which worked fine. I then downloaded TWRP 2.4.1 and flashed the JB blob file via fastboot.
Upon entering TWRP for the first time, everything seemed fine. I went in, did a backup (which I subsequently deleted by mistake) and wiped cache/dalvik/data/system and installed the official CM10 nightly. After flashing, I wiped cache/dalvik again and rebooted.
EDIT: So I flashed the Unofficial CM 10.1 here on XDA and it is now booting. So is the official CM 10 not for our devices with the JB BL?
Official CM10 nightlies are still made for the ICS bootloader, as you discovered. Until they update, you're better off downloading the unofficial builds here.

I'm at the same screen, got there a lil different then you but along the same lines. I've switched out roms alot with no issues, but after flashing jellybean, i haven't been able to boot into recovery by power + vol down button. So i tried going into goo manager to boot into recovery and since then its just sitting at the first screen with this device is unlocked in the top left corner and nv in bottom left. When i hold the power button to reboot it, it just comes right back. Even when i let the battery die and try'ed it after that its just the same thing. Is there any hope out there for me?

Can you access the stock recovery menu? If you can, you might be able to flash a custom recovery using fastboot.

I am also stuck at this screen. I have access to nothing including adb, fastboot, recovery, bootloader, and everything else. All I did was use the asus bootloader unlock apk, fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img, boot back into android normally, and then I reboot into the bootloader wiped data, and now it is stuck.

Same here. I unlocked it and flashed CWM. For a while I used the tablet without any custom rom nor any problem, however it just stopped booting suddenly. I dont know what to do.

same here as well so at least you guys arent alone does show up as an apx device but not sure how useful that could be at the moment its just a paper weight just need someone to write an automated recovery from apx mode to flash the appropriate files if thats even possible
Exact same problem. Still no fix?
Just developed the same problem after installing Androwook2.2. Flashed the JB bootloader, then flashed the rom, after completing the initial Android setup the tablet started to download updates, which then froze. The screen stopped responding to any inputs, only the power and volume buttons did anything, but wouldn't restart it.
I hit the reset button with a pin which allowed me to enter recovery, which also didn't respond to screen touches, another reset button hit and there's now no USB connection in bootloader
Another restart and I can't get into bootloader either.
So no recovery or ADB = paperweight unless someone finds a solution

Your problem was different to theirs and you have been fixed in the Androwook thread. Yours was caused by the pad firmware not installing properly the first time and freezing your screen and buttons.

Me too.. looking for a fix on this with no luck so far
I have the Galaxy Note SGH-I717R (Rogers version), with the stock android 4.0.4 installed. I want to install a custom ROM but I cannot get TWRP Recovery to work on this phone. I have followed all the guides but it will not work, even though it appears to install correctly. I put my phone into download mode, start odin in admin mode, attach my phone, it is recognized by odin, then I choose PDA and select the TWRP Recovery tar file (which is the correct one for my device). After I click Start on Odin it goes through these messages as it installs and reboots my device:
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> RQT_CLOSE !!
<ID:0/003> RES OK !!
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
<ID:0/003> Remain Port .... 0
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
and the box in the upper left corner turns green and says "Pass!".
After this, I have my phone usb disconnected and I reboot into recovery mode.. Only when it starts in recovery, it is the same stock recovery mode that comes with stock android! With this, I cannot flash the custom ROM because it gives the error that verification failed.
I have tried installing TWRP through goo manager as well, but when I choose the openrecoveryscript option, it says that nothing was found for my device.
What am I missing here? How can I install this custom recovery to allow me to flash a custom ROM?
I also tried this with 2 different versions of TWRP - 2.5.0.0-quincyatt.img and the latest 2.6.3.0-quincyatt.img
This may seem like a silly question but does the TWRP package include root in it? I have had to root with Clockwork mod tar first and then I have installed TWRP after that.
There are free utilities on Google Play that can tell you if you are rooted or not.
Download the 2.6.1.0.IMG.tar file and flash it. Also change the USB port you are using, and reinstall the Samsung USB drivers before attempting it again.

according to others, you do not need to be rooted to flash a rom.
I flashed a zip file for TWRP, just like a normal rom. once you flash, it replaces your cwm.
the error????????? if it is status 7, your recovery needs to be updated
OK, I've solved the problem. I followed another video that said to uncheck auto reboot on odin when installing TWRP, then remove the battery and unplug once it loads it on. I did this, and ended up bricking my phone, it wouldn't start saying need to fix bad firmware in kies recovery. Kies wouldn't even detect my phone at this point, so I started Odin again and was able to run a recovery from there by pressing start, it said it removed something, and was successfully recovered. I tried rebooting into recovery mode again on my phone, and magically it loaded into TWRP! From there I was able to flash the custom Revolt ROM and now my phone is running fine.
You got it. The Canadian phones have a script that reinstalls the 3e stock recovery on the reboot. So you have to pull the battery to stoo that script from running. When you rhen boot into recovery it makes it the default recovery.
ok, i've flashed via odin, pulled the battery and started it up but it still goes to stock recovery.
I've also flashed, shut it down, pulled the battery, rebooted and then selected reboot in recovery with no luck either.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem with an SGH-I717R. I flash TWRP with ODIN, pull the battery and disconnect the USB cable so the phone powers off. Then I hold Vol Up+Vol Down+Power until the phone vibrates, I see the "Samsung Note" logo on the screen for a fraction of a second, then it goes into "ODIN MODE", tells me how many custom binaries I've flashed, etc, and says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue" and tells me to run recovery from Kies. If I restart the device normally, it goes into this mode as well. I can return the phone to a usable state by booting into download mode, flashing TWRP again with ODIN, then letting the phone reboot without holding any buttons down, but then recovery is back to stock 3e.
I've also tried this using CWM and Heimdall, as per the instructions on the CM wiki, with the same results. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers and also enabled USB debugging on the device, since I read somewhere that might be an issue. I realize I'm replying to a 2-year old comment from rangercaptain, but do you have any more suggestions?

There is an Odin flashable cwm at rootgalaxynote. Once that is flashed you can load a su zip to your phone and flash or change to twrp by flashing it with cwm..not Odin. You then just reboot to recovery and you will be in twrp. You should probably use one from gimmeitorilltell version 2.8.0.0 or higher. I use 2.8.0.0 as it supports theming still. If you need more detail hit me up for the links. Searching the forum or googling should get you there though.

Thanks for the pointers! Would you say this tutorial[1] is more or less what you're suggesting I try? And then from there, flash TWRP 2.8.0.0 from CWM recovery?
[1] XDA won't let me embed a link because my account is too new, but it's a page on rootgalaxynote that ends with /galaxy-note-i717-roms/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
EDIT: Ugh, scratch that idea. I followed the instructions on that site and exactly the same thing happened. Flashing CWM through ODIN appears to work fine, but if I reboot immediately after flashing I end up with stock 3e recovery again, and if I hold Vol Up+Vol Down+Power to reboot immediately after flashing, I get the ODIN mode "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." message and can't get past it until I flash CWM with ODIN again and let the stock recovery overwrite on reboot.
EDIT #2: So I finally got it to boot CWM by holding Vol Up+Vol Down as ODIN reboots the device, but trying to flash the Superuser zip from that site results in an error and the instant you boot system, it overwrites recovery with stock again. Am I correct to assume that if I can get into CWM and flash a custom ROM, recovery will stop being reset to stock on every boot?

Did you repeat steps as instructed at this point?
If you get any errors at this point, don’t worry about it and repeat Steps 13 to Step 16 twice more and reboot. You will still get root.

Yep, I was finally able to root the device doing that, but I still can't get CWM recovery to persist. I can flash it with ODIN, then hold down Vol Up+Vol Down as ODIN resets the device, which gets me into CWM recovery. From there I can do the usual CWM recovery stuff, and if I reboot, then hold down Vol Up+Vol Down immediately, I can get back into CWM recovery. I can do this as many times as I like and it always brings up CWM recovery. As soon as I let the phone boot the stock OS, CWM recovery is gone and I'm back to stock 3e. My end goal is to flash a custom ROM to this device; I assume if I do that, the stock recovery will stop being restored on every boot?

Sorry this didn't work for you, but I'll throw in the last bit anyway.
" With Android 4.0.4 update, your phone might overwrite the ClockworkMod Recovery you flashed in ODIN. To get around the problem, simply flash ClockworkMod Recovery again in ODIN, then when you see “PASS!”, immediately hold down Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, you should be in ClockworkMod Recovery instead of the Belly-up Andy Android figure."

Same Problem
Huge problem
im on stock root and i wanted to hopefully flash a rom, but first i needed a custom recovery. On my phone, i downloaded Rom manager and it asked me to install cwm. it found my device and it downloaded and said installed successfully. i rebooted into recovery and from there it loops and boots into recovery non stop. i remove the battery and put it back in and it still tries to boot into recovery with the loop. (Semi-fix) when i remove my battery and boot into download mode. i can cancel it and it will skip trying to boot into recovery and load just fine. i can then shut down or restart as needed. but booting back into recovery will start the issue over again. i just want to know a safe way to have cwm on my note 3, or how to revert it back to normal. any help please?

(Semi-fix) when i remove my battery and boot into download mode. i can cancel it and it will skip trying to boot into recovery and load just fine. i can then shut down or restart as needed. but booting back into recovery will start the issue over again. i just want to know a safe way to have cwm on my note 3, or how to revert it back to normal. any help please?

Pull battery let it sit for two minutes. Push menu button, volume down button, and power button at the same time boot into download mode. once there flash a fresh copy of your OS which ever version of KitKat your running. You lose all your personal data, but your beyond that now. Then here is link to my thread should answer all your questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 enjoy !!!

Yeah ive said it a few times this should not be used
If youve bricked your phone you can get back into your phone by holding volume down menu botton and power botton at the same time when it pops up the warning screen to enter download mode hit cancel your phone will then boot up after your phone is on if you do not have a computer the way you fix the phone so you dont have to do this every time your phone is off you need mobile odin and a kitkat cwm.img.tar for our phone flash it and problem solved you can now boot into cwm recovery then if you want you can flash a twrp img zip through cwm or just keep cwm hope this helps
Ps if you Google mobile odin the dev gives it away on his xda mobile odin page

stuck in recovery loop also
hi i am new to all this..i managed to get my sprint note 3 4.4.4 NK4 rooted and i read that i also needed a custom recovery so i used odin to install "philz_touch_6.08.7-hltespr.tar.md5" and it said success but when i tried to get into it it just says recovery is not seandroid enforcing i also used rom manager to get into it automatically but it just keeps looping saying same thing. is there a way out of this mess?
update-- i found an updated version of the philz tar file and installed it with odin and that got me out of the loop..just havent tried to get back into recovery yet...lol

First, pull the battery for a minute then reinstall hold the power, menu, and volume down buttons at the same time and boot into download mode. The version of Phil'z CWM you flashed is to old for 4.4.4 NK4. Now download to your desktop the right Philz CWM recovery file (Phil'z_Touch_6.48.4-hlte.tar.md5 ) here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ there are two listed use the second one. Flash with odin and you should be good to go. Go to my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 for more info.
done exactly as you said and the same screen came up saying recovery is not seandroid enforcing and then it jumps to Philz Touch 6 so im assuming everything is right now...i really appreciate the help! tyvm
different rom
ok..i installed cyanogen rom..i also used titanium backup..i want to go back to where i was but i dont see titanium backup on there anymore..how do i revert back?
i guess i need to update my phone n900p (help)
