I'd really appreciate some help guys, I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find answers.
I had Cyanogen Mod 9 rooted on my phone, however, I decided to install Omega instead, I installed it but I can't get on it! Everytime I install zip and reboot, it goes back to CWM Recovery!
The procedure was:
-deleted all files in internal SD
-Reboot into CWM Recovery
-Wipe data,cache,dalvik
-install zip from sd card
and now im stuck
Please help, and apologies if any noob mistakes were made

You'll lose all your data but do a factory reset and wipe your system in addition to what you've already done and re flash the rom. FYI always have a nandroid backup around before flashing. It's time consuming but saves you a lot of grief in the long run

Factory reset(wipe) is an option in cwm(3rd from above) wipe and reflash the rom and let it boot,this can take 10min
1st check md5 .. it will show u wether its bad download or nt ... and then do this
go into cwm and to wipe data\factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik and insll rom ..
omega 10 is up so better try omega 10 as its new rom :

How would put it into my internal SD if I can't transfer the file because I can only boot into Recovery or Download mode? Do I just Odin it straight in via the PDA option?
If you connect your phone with the PC while in recovery you should be able to use adb commands
Put the rom file into the adb folder than try
Code:
adb devices
now you should see any cryptic combination of letters and numbers in the next row
(if you see a empty row... that wouldn't be nice^^)
then do:
Code:
adb push yourromfile.zip /sdcard/yourromfile.zip
than try flashing again the new file
dont forget to do a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, the common procedure^^
PS:
If you don't know about adb, it is installed with the android sdk, but you can download it seperately
place the ADB folder somewhere on you system hd, maybe directly to C:\
the open cmd and type
cd C:\ADB\
now you're able to use the above commands
You can put it on an external sd and flash it from there...

1. Boot into recovery mode
2. Format System / Factory Data Wipe
3. Wipe cache and also wipe dalvik cache
4. Install the zip file and you will get the CWM install completed message.
5. Select Reboot Now and let the phone boot up to an Android setup screen.
6. Setup the phone as requested
7. Reboot the phone into recovery mode again and wipe cache and dalvik cache again
8. Reboot phone and everything should be working...
On stage 5. my phone loads up to the android setup screen but a message comes up saying:
'Select and application for the USB device' and below that it says 'no application can perform this action' and another message below that ' %1$s is not responding. would you like to close it'.
İf İ try to do anything the phone just reboots and the same process keeps repeating. İ have searched but cannot find anything relating to this problem. Please help me....

Thank you for your reply but can you be a little bit more specific as İ am a newbie, İ really appreciate the help...
So i re installed the ROM but still have the same problem...
The phone does not boot for me to download another ROM.
Any other solutions?
save your important data from sd card(internal card) , copy to computer , make a hard reset(erase all internal data) flash a new rom via odin , root with cf-root via odin(i recomand xila 2 witch cf-root that u find here on xda,and xila2 room too, and then download the rom you wanted put it on your sd card,go to recovery wipe cache dalvik,wipe data factory reset,install the rom u want. after u may pasye the data you saved before on computer. good luck. for example u can save all your data witch titanium backup.
Download again the rom
Make a full wipe, factory reset,
Reinstall the rom
If that doesn't work
Install via Odin a CF root rom, and use other rom, like cm9

if you dont want to make that steps you may do this : go to recovery, mounts&storage, format cache , format data , format system , them reflash your rom from recovery , after this wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe data , and the fix permissions.

Hi,
so I tried to install a new theme and during the install the phone froze. I tried to access the recovery again, but I can't, the phone stucks at galaxy s3 screen. However I can access download mode.
My question is, what do I have to do to keep my SD Card content (like pictures)? Which firmware should I flash? I was on Wanam Lite Rom.
Thanks for Help

Flashing a theme will not mess your recovery partition so it cannot happen that you have lost recovery..so try again..
Once you are able to boot into recovery flash the ROM which you were using without a wipe first...you will not loose anything..if you face problems then wipe data/factory reset in CWM ..even then you will not loose the data on your internal SD..

hi there i have had my device rooted for awhile now and all of the sudden it just started to get stuck in a bootloop, just displaying the "samsung galaxy s III GT-I9300T" screen then goes black and repeats
i have a sgs3 GT-I9300T (from telstra, australia if it matters)
i rooted with "CF-Auto-Root" which worked fine and was working fine for atleast a month
i dont have a backup (yes im a noob/idiot for not creating a backup but didnt think there was any reason to)
i have tried flashing the latest firmware from sammobile using odin (with only auto reboot and F. reset time checked)
i can still access recovery (factory or custom from flashing in odin)
i've already tried a few suggestions from some posts on here but alot of them arent for the international/I9300T version so wasnt game enough to try them out in fear of fully bricking it
if anyone can help out with what i should try that would be great
i would even settle for resetting flash counter and system status back to 0/offical so that i can try and return it
current state is:
Custom binary download: Yes (3 counts)
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom

yes and even installed CWM recovery to clear the "dalvik cache"
Here is thought
Pull out sdcard, better format in FAT32, copy few ROM into it by using card reader or other usable phone which has sdcard slot.
Flash any of newest recovery such as TWRP personally suggested, Backup current ROM in case of further needed and then
Factory reset, format /system partition, wipe cache / Dalvik cache, and then flash new ROM too see if it works.
Remember format system partition!

download this file http://checkrom.com/threads/resurrection-odin-checkrom-evohd™-v4.896/
get into odin and flash this file into your phone through the download mode ... if everything works it should boot into cwm recovery .. then wipe data\factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache and reboot ... wait 15 mins and it should work!! Good Luck!
woot this worked!
i tried re downloading the file first like qtwrk suggested and reflashing it in odin which still returned the same result but i then downloaded this one and did it and it worked
i got into the os downloaded triangle away and reset the counter then flashed the telstra one again so that it was right back to factory default firmware which is what i wanted, will proberly root it again but will def make sure i get a full backup right away incase of any issues later on.
thank you all for your help
hye me again just thought id write an update on my situation
it appears that the phone had stuffed up again this time tho couldnt get into recovery mode but could still get into download mode
i didnt bother doing the same thing again instead i just took it back to telstra and they replaced it, and they replaced it with the 305 model so worked out alright in the end

Please quote my post and copy&paste whole text into some help thread for your phone, it is better idea as we are now getting off topic here. I'll try to help you there.
Format /system is done in recovery mode under "mount and storage" then after that you can restore your nandroid if it is done with the same recovery you use now. If you're on PhilZ 6, it usually can restore also CWM 6 backups.

What does format system do? And please help me load sentinel rom. That's the one I was gonna do.
Okay now for the question... I was running stock 4.1.2 with siyah kernel 6.0 b5. Then I decided to install philz kernel, but ended up in bootloop. Then I tried flashing dorimanx but still in bootloop. All the while I wiped everything before flashing.
Now im stuck as I can boot into recovery via any kernel but ultimately phone is stuck.
What to do?
And can anyone give me steps to install sentinel rom from this stage?

Mate, sorry for waiting, I was out of home. We will get your ROM back as soon as the phone boots again.
Don't worry, it doesn't sound serious so far. We have recovery and download mode (so topic name "nothing works" isn't really correct)
Formatting /system wipes all data from the system partition (so your system will be gone then) and it is important to do before installing new ROMs (essencially important for KitKat). It can't do any harm. As you have tried to install other kernels and didn't work we should check first what did you try to flash so far and it didn't boot? Is that what you wrote all what you have tried?
Now let me know please which recovery do you have now and is it the same version like when you have created your nandroid backup? If the recovery is the same, I would indeed try to restore nandroid backup right after wiping /system. Before you wipe the system just let me know: can you use ADB? If yes, check do you have ADB connection in the recovery mode?

Hi! Internal memory usually shouldn't get wiped by formatting /system, as it is "storage", not part of the system. I would give a try, wipe all: data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache (advanced) and format /system (mounts and storage). Then back to the main menu --> backup & restore --> restore from (internal or external memory where your nandroid is saved) and choose your backup. It should reboot normally then.

Cool, @AndroidReborn! Now you can install your old ROM again and restore nandroid. Keep that stock FW saved on your PC, so if your phone gets ever again soft-bricked, no problem to revive it again.
I am wondering how nobody here responsed your help prompt, we have in i9000 help threads always handfull people of experience and skills who are ready to help in need. And there are double amount of the SGS2 units sold around the world.... strange.

No idea. The people seem pretty 'busy'. Thanks for helping. Just one teeny tiny last question.. How do I install cm11 or any kitkat rom over this? Cwm is 6.0.4.5 so it's compatible...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you want to flash kitkat, the first thing you need to do is flash a kitkat compatible CWM (v6.0.4.7). If you try to flash KK with an 'older' CWM, you'll get 'installation aborted....error status 7' or something similar........
I'm currently running @infected_s KK build, and in the OP, you will find download links for the correct CWM, ROM and GApps files.......

Yes, mate, CWM 6.0.4.5 is capable of flashing KitKat.
It is usually always the same:
download your ROM zip and compatible Gapps
check in the phone (or PC) if the zips are corrupted through download (if they open after clicking them, they are fine)
move the zips to the folder you will flash it from (if you use PC to flash zips with ADB sideload, put them in the sdk/platform-tools folder)
make nandroid backup of your presently used ROM
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (advanced)
format /system (under mount and storage)
flash ROM.zip
flash Gapps
reboot
It is in general always good to read in the development thread of the ROM you attend to flash in the opening post which Gapps are recommended, or if there is some unusual order of flashing (sometimes, developers recommend reboot system after flashing ROM, and after that going to recovery and flash Gapps zip.
Some KitKat ROMs struggle with root access by using Superuser, so SuperSU should be flashed. If SuperSU app from Play Store gives errors by updating binary, you should uninstall SuperSU app then, find in the Chainfire's thread the compatible UPDATE-SuperSu.zip (version for your phone), flash its zip in the recovery, install SuperSU app, update binary (either "normal" or "through CWM/TWRP")
so i factory reset my grand quattro and i cant boot into system,every time i try to boot it goes into cwm recovery screen and now there is an option to flash rom via zip but i dont have any rom as i reseted my internal card so what will i have to do ?
Did you reset your phone from reset option availabale in cwm?

Did you wipe dalwik cache?
