I tried installing back to noot v9 without back-uping on my s3 using clockworkmod and it gave me error status 7. I tried repairing it using odin and this rom stockroms(dot)net/file/GalaxyS3/i9300/stockrecovery/International-GT-i9300-StockRecovery.tar. Odin sais that everithing went ok and shows that big green pass icon, but everithing it did was to delete even the cwmr everything that remained being android system recovery. Also, it can't mount my sd card (I tried formating it as NTSF and FAT32).
PS: I don't know if my phone is original.
flash latest twrp
No. To be sure, that everything works, exec factory reset in samsung-recovery and reboot.
he have cwm, he should flash latest (cwm end suporrt in 2014 )
only twrp, that rom work for me
Android system recovery isn't CWM. CWM or TWRP aren't ROMs. Read&understand 1st.
read again rp158
he use default recorvery for repartition,
bisoros
check checksum rom.zip and flash custom recovery again, full wipe and try again

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 ...
I was running the latest CM7 nightly for a while (release 116). I decided to give CM9 a try. I wanted to go back to CM7 so I tried flashing back but something went wrong. I had backup so I tried restoring that in CWM but it gave me a checksum error.
So I tried out the vanilla ICS 4.0.3 (KP8) build using odin. Used it for a bit and then decided to go back to CM7. I flashed to my original OS using ODIN, rooted the phone. Now, whenever I try to flash anything in CWM, it installs but then just goes into a endless boot sequences. Tried flashing MIUI and CM7 with no luck.
I'm on a rooted KI3 release atm.
How can I completely wipe my phone? I've reformatted my external and usb storage with no luck.

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Root with same CWM as backup .
Boot recovery restore backup .

Thanks! Following the processes. Wasn't able to unmount SD card to format it but /data /system and /cache formatted fine. *crosses fingers*
going to use a freshly downloaded copy of CM7 nightly too incase my old zip got corrupted somehow.
I can install my stock firmware and root it with odin.
But, once I try to install Rom Manager and update CWM recovery things start going wrong. It reboots into the regular android recovery console and fails to install the update.
But, if I battery pull and boot into recovery it boots into CWM recovery 4.0.0.5. I can apply the update.zip ROM manager downloaded. But, then when I try to flash anything it doesn't install properly and I get stuck in an endless boot loop. Can't even boot into recovery. Have to start all over again with ODIN.
Rom Manager is causing you grief.
Had a similar thing happen a while back. I wouldn't use it at all if I were you and stick to using CW Recovery. I don't know the why/how/wherefore, I just know that time I tried to use it, it broke recovery & put me in a bootloop same as you.
Hi
I have a SGSII (i9100) which I have successfully rooted (all "permission" files work ok through Superuser). However, I don't seem to be able to install Clockworkmod or, if successful, then I can't boot normally.
When I try to install CWM via Odin3, it installs ok, but the phone then hangs on the triangle screen. I can boot into the CWM screen where it tells me that it cannot mount to system nor to the cache. Any attempt to reboot normally fails (i.e. it hangs on the triangle screen). Thanks to a kind member helping me, I have been able to recover each time by using the I9100XXKI3.ZIP package.
I have also downloaded Rom Manager and tried to flash CWM from there. That says that it has been successfull, but when I then boot to the recovery, it tells me that "E:failed to verify whole-file signature and e:signature verification failed". Consequently, no CWM, just the usual recovery screen.
Am I missing something? Can someone help, please? At the moment I have root, but can't install any custom roms.
Thanks, masterpointer
Try to flash kernel with cwm. That should do it
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
First thing rom manager is not compatible will the sgs2, second thing it's confusing when you say you restore a .zip as this is done via cwm? In order to get recovery via odin you need to be using an appropriate rooting kernel. When you did manage to get into cwm did you wipe cache and delvik etc?

Download cf root kernel and flash with odin, and you`ll have cwm recovery. Don`t use rom manager with sgs2, never.

that's exactly what I have done! CWM installs, but phone hangs on the triangle screen.

I did use an appropriate kernel. I wiped neither the cache nor the delvic cache before flashing, and after flashing I can't as the message says: "e:failure to mount \system" and several massages "e:falure to mount \cache\..."

I take your point regarding Rom Manager. but that aside, I have flashed CWM via Odin3 onto a rooted kernel and it does install, but phone hangs (freezes) on the triangle screen. I have tried several versions of CWM an several rooted kernels. They all install and they all freeze!

Boot in recovery, mount and storage, format system, data,cache. Pull battery out, after 2 min put it back, boot in download mode, start odin, flash stock rom, reboot, reboot again in download mode, then root with cf root kernel. Should solve you problem

I don't have "mount & storage" in recovery. Only Reboot System, Apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.

You need to install a cwm rooted kernel .
Root + CWM .

yes, but therein lies the problem:
After I use cf-root (with KI4 kernel), the phone hangs (despite Odin3 showing everything ok)! And when i then boot into recovery, it says "e:failure to mount \system" and several massages "e:falure to mount \cache\..." and attempts to "mount" the listed items, all fail.

Thanks for your help, but as I said previously, I was unable to do any of your suggestions because as soon as I installed CWM, I was unable to mount the system and the cache.
However, since then I did some further research and came across a forum where several others had the same problem and one of them tried to use "Speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar" and, lo and behold, that worked for me as well!!!
I wanted to install a custom ROM for my TF201. So I downloaded the Energy ROM and placed it within the SD Card as update.zip
I flashed CWM and ran the Asus Bootloader Unlocker.
Then using Rom Manager rebooted into CWM, following on screen prompts I installed from SD Card the ROM. The install completeted successfully, the tablet restarted and showed the Eee Pad logo, but got stuck. I've tried cold booting from recovery mode, tried reinstalling the ROM but nothing is working. It is refusing to boot up properly.
Have I bricked the tablet, if so how do I fix it if at all possible?

Did you do an MD5sum check on your download? Also have you tried flashing another rom? And my third and final question did you wipe Dalvik cache, cache, and factory reset before you installed?
And this is more of a preference thing but I'd suggest TWRP over CWM. I've had issues on other devices with CWM but TWRP on the Prime is perfect.

I did a factory reset, then selected wipe Dalvik cache and cache.
How would I flash another ROM? I'm not sure how I can get another ROM onto the device as CWM cannot search external storage, only internal?
I was going to use TWRP but wasn't sure how to get it flashed onto the device, where as CWM was simpler. I didn't do an MD5 check on the ROM
EDIT:
Just tried using Fastboot USB to flash the official ASUS ROM(Tried latest JB and ICS 4.0.3), both write to the device okay but both fail
It says "FAILED <Remote: <>"
On the device it shows: Failed to process command flash:system error(0x170003)

IT LIVES!!!
Don't know how I did it, but I managed to get TWRP installed on it. Using Fastboot somehow or ADB. It booted into TWRP and mounted external SD card, then flashed an official JB ROM(the Prime was on ICS before) and it has now booted up fine
I will now try and re-flash a custom ROM again(a different one) using TWRP but it is all looking superb
I was worried i'd have to claim on the extended insurance I took out with the retailer
Hi all,
I am on 4.4.4 and used TWRP in past, now I am on Philz Touch latest recovery.
I first cleaned data and system and tried to flash a different rom, it flashed fine but when I tried to flash 4.4.4 Gapps recovery restarted and it kept restarting if I tried to flash that Gapps so I cleaned again and only flashed the Rom this time, rebooted and my system restarted to recovery.
I manually tried to format all partitions but got
"E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
E:Error formatting /preload!"
while formatting preload partition.
I google about this and search in xda too and found few threads suggesting to format /preload partition using TWRP recovery so I tried to flash TWRP but it stuck on it's flash screen. I tried to flash old version using Odin as well as new one but it keeps hanging on the it's flash screen. Flashing Philz via odin works every time but not TWRP.
So it looks like I am not able to format /preload partition, I am not able to flash any rom or gapps and not able to flash any version of TWRP recovery.
I am able to take a backup of my phone and restore it without any problem including my internal sd card using Philz Touch though just for the info.
So any suggestions friends?
Thanks.
Edit:
Flashing normal cwm and flashing TWRP after removing TWRP folder from internal memory helped to boot into TWRP. Also I was able to format /preload using normal CWM recovery however flashing anything using any recovery whether it's TWRP or Philz Touch simply boot my phone back into recovery itself and nothing works.
Even a clean flash doesn't work and flashing only a simply rom file will not work and boot my phone directly into recovery so it looks like my memory is corrupted or something similar.
I would appreciate any kind of suggestions related to my problem. Thanks.
Update :
Thankfully it was only my memory card which got corrupted and thus corrupted my rom files too so changing those files fixed my issue..
