OK not sure why that didn't work. Try first flashing the kernel from THIS POST, then rebooting to recovery, flash that newer philz you just tried, then flash CM12 from there

That's the right link PhilZ kernel is only flashable zip for stock recovery.

I don't know why that won't work. I've used it heaps of times. The only thing I can think of is a bad download, but you can use any "kitkat compatible" recovery. I'll link you some different ones. As before once you flash it, reboot straight to the newer recovery and flash CM12 from there
Apolo kernel (Latest one)
Gustavo_s kernel

May this helps:

[Q] Flash ClockworkMod Recovery via Rom Manager

Not too sure on that... if the recovery is not compatible it can really brick your phone. Brick as in you won't even be able to boot to download mode.
Just use the cwm provided here, it's safer.
I downloaded and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery from here but still when I try to Download Rom from Rom Manager. It ask me to install ClockworkMod Recovery.

What about for the Samsung Captivate?
What about for the Captivate? I recently rooted my phone and downloaded the ROM Manager. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery won't detect my phone under "Confirm Phone Model" I have the Samsung Captivate. One of the options is the Samsung GalaxyS i9000. Will that work? What should I do?

Possible Brick HELP!!

Thank you in advance.
I just got my SGS2 back from repair today (stuck pixel) and I wanted to installe CM9. I thought I'd start with the latest CWM - the link was broken so I flashed CWM 4.0.0.8, which flashed fine.
When the phone rebooted, it sat in a loop doing nothing. I then flashed CWM 4.0.1.4, which also did not help. I attempted to wipe cache using CWM. A heap of errors scrolled down the screen. I thought I'd restore back to factory kernel and rom, which I did. I am still in bootloop and I have the following text on screen when I go to stock recovery

I assume you can enter download mode right?
just flash stock rom via odin..you should be fine...refer intratech thread..
It's like CWM, but very limited options and yes, download mode works fine. I wonder what has caused this issue?

dunno...most likely you flash wrong rom without reading first...or your zip file not finished download....
check you file..name, actual size before flashing
I hadn't even gotten as far as flashing a ROM, to obtain root, I attempted to use CWM, that is when things went wrong
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 try this even i got strucked like that wen i tried to flash custom rom
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
That would work, but multiupload is busted
Wipe data/factory reset, clear cache.. The it will start a fresh.. Then re-root if needed.. Hope this helps
This post was most of the solution. After this, I could flash an old version of CMW that worked. Following that, I could flash cyanogen mod 9. Thanks to all

Did you flash a custom recovry, such as CWM? From what I've learned here, the rolling recovery is usually
caused by using the wrong CWM.
For the Galaxy Tab 10.1, retail wifi model (7510), CWM version 5.5.0.4 usually recommended to prevent
rolling recovey.

Wish I could help you dody, but I'm a noob at this.
I can tell you that the CWM 5.5.0.4 file and the Root file I used worked fine on my tab (7510, US, retail, wifi only).
I have them stored in my Drop Box if you'd like to try them.
Hmmm youtube link should post that so we have a idea what you have done.
There lots of posts here on this subject.
You have choices depends on what want to do like root, custom Rom or reflash a stock Rom.
See http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
Recovery – ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 – Galaxy Tab 10.1
Or for stock see http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Or search and read lots

i now searched at sammobile and found this : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P7500&pcode=KSA&os=1&type=3#firmware but i dont know which version and downloaded the first one .. the recovery mode has been fixed but the tab stuck at samsung logo

Stuck in recovery loop

Hi, so I ran into a problem while trying to downgrade something on my tablet. I can't remember exactly because it was a few months back. I believe it was the bootloader, but I am stuck in recovery loop now. Can anyone assist me on fixing this?

As in I can't get out of recovery. Every time I try to reboot it, it just boots straight into the recovery

Did you try the power + volume down combo? If you can boot into download mode, you can reflash stock ROM using Odin. Else, if you have a ROM zip in your sdcard, you can make a full wipe and flash that.
BTW, can you remember what OS were you from?

True. Ran into that issue myself and odin was my saviour. Left to its own it will reboot to recovery but power+volume down give the option to boot to download mode. Use it to reflash your stock rom.

You need a more recent recovery for that. Try to sideload TWRP 2.7.1.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777161.

Your welcome lol. My guess is that your tab has no ROM in the system which is why it kept booting into recovery. But why it couldn't boot into download mode I don't know.

need help with optimius g

hey all, need help. phone was boot looping, power on LG logo, power off, repeat. Installed Tinybin Alt and was able to not get into TWRP. But every time I try to install a custom rom, it fails. TWRP version 2.5.0.0. Is there a certain rom I should be trying to flash? Just looking to get phone working again. Thanks in advance.

If you are unlocked bootloader than flash TWRP 2.7.1 or Philz touch CWM than try to flash rom.
or Flash stock TOT then root then unlock bootloader and do above steps.
Choice is yours.
and to flash a rom follow this steps :
boot in recovery
Wipe data and format system
Flash rom and Gapps
wipe cache and delvick cahce
reboot
profit

Turn off your phone then press both power key and volume Up
you will see a screen in that screen at top there is start and at bottom right all your serial key and bootloader info
