I am use to ROM flashing my Eris with Amon_RA Recovery. I have never used Rom Manager or ClockworkMod Recoverry to flash ROMs. Will someone point me in the right direction on where the best tutorial thread is at.....? I believe that is what eveyone here in TB section is using.
Have you rooted your Tbolt yet? If so it's fairly simple.
1 Flash CWM to your phone via ROM MAnager
2 Place ROM on your SD card
3 Perform backup via RM
4 From RM choose to install ROM from SD card
5 Select Wipe date (if you choose to of course)
6 Hit ok
Thanks!

Thanks! That seems easy enough. Is #5 Select "Wipe date" or "Wipe data"?

if you chose to flash a rom through rom manager, one you chose your rom, it will have a box you can select that says to wipe data.
personally I refuse to do this as CWM still is a bit wonky for the TB. I prefer to manually go into CWM and wipe data a twice, cache twice, and delvik cache twice.

This is where I am confused... I have a rooted Tbolt. I have CWM and ROM Manager installed (from the rooting instructions).
I have the ROM I want downloaded to my SD card, but it's just the original name of the ROM (The-Perfect-Storm-v1.0-signed.zip). So do i have to rename this?
then do I just go into CWM and... how do I get this into the recovery mode to backup?
I have read like 75 threads and everyone seems to know all this already so the questions are either SUPER specific or they glance over steps that a COMPLETE ROM N00B (such as me) would need to know.
I would really appreciate a mite more details in the steps. Thanks a ton!!

EDIT *BIGTIME*
Just went looking for CWM, and guess what??? ITS IN ROM MANAGER *facepalm*
this answers a LOT. Like the button that says "Reboot into recovery"
This is why I need a self-edit button.
*Edit 2* new ROM flashed perfectly.
uhhh. I take it should reboot into a recovery ROM. What if it only reboots to the CWR screen again?
I am currently running VirusROM and have attempted to flash dasBAMF 1.3.2 twice now. Both times the kernel doesn't flash, I loose root, and hangs on the "Android" screen when I reboot forcing a battery pull. I am downloading the .zip file, placing it on the root of my SD card and flashing via CWM. I choose to wipe data each time. Any suggestions guys? Thanks so much for your help.
I'm thinking that CWM isn't fully wiping my data and cache. Could this simply be the case? I'm waiting to try flashing again until I get some suggestions. Its such a pain to get root access and recover each time.

I finally managed to root my TBOLT with easy root, the latest version he put out last night. I made it through step 3 which just said congrats you have rooted, or w.e then it says flash clock world and i get "error occurred while attempting to run privative commands" any help for this?
In rom manager you have to check delete cache, then install latest version of CWM.

I guess the way to Flash a ROM is to place a Custome ROM in the SD Card and Use ROM Manager to Reboot into Recovery and Flash with Clockwork Recovery?
Or Can I select Install ROM from SD Card option in ROM Manager.....?

you can do either. I prefer to just boot into recovery, so I can wipe data/factory twice, and wipe cache, and delvik cache twice. then flash a new rom.
the second way you mentioned is more automated, but I don't feel is a thorough.
I tried all the steps but sometimes it just takes a simple reboot.
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I think this is in the right place.
I used this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206746 to flash my HTC Sensation. I rooted, S-OFF and everything went fine. I flashed and backed it up. Now there were no error during flash (I flashed with the Clockwork app) and it rebooted and now for the last 40 minutes, its been stuck on the loading screen where it says "HTC, quietly brilliant" and then it starts again, and again and again. Slightly annoying now...
I have no idea what is wrong or what I should do.
Let me know if you need anymore info...

Did you wipe EVERYTHING before flashing?

Thanks for the quick reply's and help. I realise now that I did not wipe EVERYTHING because I wanted to keep my HTC "scene" layout. I've restored it from before i flashed it and i'm going to flash again. Thanks again. Ill post if it worked.
Edit
I'm using Titanium Backup to save it all by the way and I've "Thanks" you all.
Well, did it work cuz I got stuck in that constant boot up mode yesterday and I just took the battery out and than held down volume plus power button went into HBoot than recovery and I had my original system backed up so I just wiped than restored my original than went in and flashed the ROM properly and all good now just thought this might help?
In ROM Manager, "ROM Pre-Installation" is "backup existing rom", "wipe data and cache" and "wipe dalvik cache. My question is, what is dalvik cache?

It seems I was flashing the theme for the ROM without the ROM. Anyway I downloaded the right one and it still doesn't work. Can someone just check this list of what I'm doing.
(Already Backed Up ROM)
- Open ROM Manager
- "Install Custom ROM"
- Choose the "P3D_Full_Wipe.zip"
- Let that flash and what not
- Boot into HBOOT
- Recovery
- Install zip from SD
- Choose "CdTDroid....zip"
- Let that do and what not
- Click "Reboot and start system"
Also, I'd like to know how to flash from Recovery. I think ^^that's^^ how.
~Ak
Nope. It still doesn't work. No matter how many times I do it. I did it exactly right this time. I did it all from the ClockworkMod Recovery place. It still doesn't work. It just says HTC and it doesn't even come up with the slogan. I don't know what to do now.... Please help!
Edit
I've done everything in this post to root my phone with S-OFF and everything. I haven't used any other guides or anything.

Just trying that now and waiting..... How long will I have to wait for it to boot? So far its been 45 secs and its just flashed the slogan up on the loading screen.
It loaded! Yay! Now how to get the theme....
Can't you just do everything in recovery, your theme should still be in there if you backed it up just wondering?
Ok so i've tried to install a rom (Touwiz4), and i've tried to follow the steps, and as dumb as i am, i've used the update.zip method (by renaming the file to update). It installed, but everytime i turn the phone on, it is stuck on the samsung logo, please help me
Also: i can get into download mode and the Home+Power menu
Please help me, i don't know what to do if i lose my phone
this can always happen this is why you have to take backups...
What is your phone?
You can search around for stock roms or try to install another custom rom.
here are some locations where you can find stock roms:

ok it's simple:
Recovery
Wipe data
Wipe Chace
Wipe devilchace
Reinstall rom

I don't have the advance menu
you can use update.zip method (i suppose you just select 'apply /sdcard/update.zip')
or you can select 'choose zip from sdcard' in 'install zip from sdcard menu'
BUT before that, as ubas90 said you have to:
Wipe data
Wipe Chace
Wipe dalvilk cache (which is in the advanced menu)
If you do not have advanced menu it seems that your recovery is not really CWM (check that, it has to be written ClockworkMod somewhere).
You can install CWM following these instructions: http://andwise.net/?p=268
you can always try without wiping dalvilk cache,depending on the previous state it may not be needed.

OMG after i installed another rom the exact same thing happened
It worked! I'm so happy right now
I've used odin, and it was easier than it seemed
Also, thanks everybody for your help, it's greatly appreciated
Okay, So.. As the title says, i have googled for DAYS, Tried every damn thing i could get my hands on..
Now.
So far, im able to get into download mode, and also into recovery mode, I've tried doing a factory reset, and then flashing a stock rom, and i've tried every concevable method of fixing this damned phone, Its driving me crazy, I flash a new rom with odin, phone reboots, (adds to count) and is STILL stuck at that ****ty flashing samsung logo..
I'd really appreciate ANY help i can get, And i AM a noob at this, So i dont FULLY understand EVERY detail of this, But i've read around enough to know a few things.
My SGS3 has been out of commision for longer than i've actually used it.. So.. Yeah, Getting quite desperate!
Please let me know if there are any particular details yyou need!
Hi,
Your problem is EFS.IMG
Please clear it. Use Odin3 for that.
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, after you've flashed your ROM.
I had your problem some weeks ago,I finally managed to get arround this after I deleted the dalvik cache and flashed stock rom trough odin,and worked like a charm :good:
try this first before thinking of efs errors!

Cam't really help you with the EFS, but:
-bootloops are often fixed by installing rom then wiping data+cache from recovery as others said
-the dalvik cache can be wiped in the recovery, you can find "wipe dalvik cache" under the advanced submenu

Im in recovery mode right now (Vol UP+ Home + Power)? And i dont see an 'Advanced' menu option;
Options i DO have: reboot system now; apply update from ADB; apply update from external storage; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache parition;
apply update from cache..
Any ideas?
These options are only available in a custom recovery.
Just try wipe --> flash stock room --> wipe

i just want to clarify... when you say 'flash STOCK rom' Do you mean i need to get a rom for a SGS3 VAU (Vodafone Asutralia) and flash that (go to odin, put it in PDA, etc)
and if THAT is the case.. Where would i get said rom, Because i've downloaded it from sammy firmware 4 times, each time it finishes the download without a hitch, when i go to extract the zip to get the needed files, it says its corrupted or some such BS..
Go to Sam mobile and download the firmware mate.
You will end up with a tar md5 file you flash using PDA section of Odin.
Good luck!

Kies is by far the easiest and safest way to factory reset. I have had to use it about 3 times in the past 6 months because I have flashed something I shouldn't have. Plus Kies now has a lite mode that is quicker at flashing your phone back to stock firmware.

I will be getting a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 tomorrow and I am interested in installing the PACMAN ROM
However, the instructions are not clear for me since I am new to all this. I've downloaded the roms, gapps and kernal and now the instructions say to:
'Put the files on your device
Reboot into recovery
Wipe dalvik cache
Install the zips (or do adb sideload if you want)
Reboot'
Since I have no experience with android devices, I am not sure how to do these steps. I've tried searching on Youtube but there aren't any tutorials for SGP's. I am aware that I need to do a full wipe since I am going from GB to JB (so I need to delete data, dalvik, system and dbdata). It also says to do a backup if anything goes wrong, which I am not too sure how to do as well.
If someone could explain these instructions clearly to me, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

put your device in download mode (hold down power and volume down) and flash entropy's kernel with odin.
then you will have clockworkmod recovery, which you can boot into by holding power and volume up.
in clockworkmod, you can make a backup, wipe data, and install the rest of the stuff.
you could even do all of this without ever booting up the stock rom.
This is what I do/did...
I used this tutorial to flash CWM and root
http://m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
Download SuperOneClick and
Download Odin. Follow tutorial.
Odin can be used to flash ROMs or kernels and to flash CWM.
Download the Pacman ROM and a kernel and put it on your External SD card.
Use ROM Manager from the play store to reboot into Recovery mode (easiest way) or volume up and power button at the same time as the Samsung flashes after you first boot your device.
From recovery mode you can wipe dalvik cache etc, but if this is a new device, you shouldn't have to factory reset or wipe cache (I think) If you're buying a used device, wipe and reset.
You're in recovery mode still, navigate to-
"Load zip from external SD card" and select it. Navigate to the Pacman zip and select it.
You navigate using the volume up and down buttons and select using the power button.
Navigate back to main screen in recovery mode and select Reboot System.
Do the same thing to flash a kernel. If the kernel has clockwork mod integrated, load the kernel first.
I use Xplore to move files around, it's quick and easy.
The reason ppl tell you to back up any data is, they have data they want to keep. If this is a new device, you don't have anything worth saving, such as contacts apps etc.

what exactly did you do in cwm?
did you install pac rom?
if not, try installing (using install zip from sdcard) it directly over gb, after doing a full wipe.
also install gapps the same way

(I can't post links, but its the website that HOG1 posted above)
I got up to step 7, but my device kept rebooting after that. So I went in CWM recovery by holding POWER and UP buttons and wiped my data and cache but it still kept rebooting.
And I can't flash any roms since I still haven't rooted the device. I couldn't use entropy's kernel because I have an INTL Galaxy Player.

you should be fine

yup, dont forget to wipe data, cache, dalvik, (look under mounts and storage) system, and dbdata (or datadata)
All this INTL and US device stuff just throws wrenches into everything. The link I posted says it's for INTL and US devices. Apparently not the case.
I have intl kernel on my US device and it works fine, not sure why the reverse isn't true. Weird.
I use the INTL kernel because I like the governors choices.

Yeah it sucks that Samsung made different devices for different regions...Makes no sense..
But yeah, I installed CM9 and when I selected to reboot my phone from the actual ROM it said 'Rebooting...' and now its been like this for 30mins or so... :| I guess I'll have to wait for the battery to drain or something, but as soon as it does I'll wipe data, etc and install PACMAN with the new kernel and gapps. Sucks that you can't take the battery out the phone, I don't think the phone is actually gonna reboot.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I JUST SAW ONLINE THAT YOU CAN SWITCH IT OFF BY HOLDING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON AND HOME BUTTON...Yeah I'm totally new to Android and Samsung xD
Or you could hold the power and volume up buttons to go into Recovery mode and reboot from there.
