I recently tried to install android revolution hd 2.2.0 and ran super wipe.I have put the rom on the sdcard too,so it isn't anymore and the normal bootup doesn't work,I am stuck in recovery and need a way to put that rom there to flash it..does the window explorer work in recovery mode?

If you have the stock Rom flash it via Odin.
Cwm sometimes mounts the external sd card but sometimes doesn't.. don't know how it is for others but it isn't working properly for me.
Go to mount and storage in Cwm for mounting sdcard.

I removed the battery because it was not charging and I thought I won't can flash any rom with the battery low,so I will seek more advices before turning it back on,so..
Wipe removed all my files,including stock rom,but I don't know if volume down + power + home button will work.Well I went into choose zip from sdcard and they all were there,I ran super wipe as it was said in the flash tutorial and it deleted almost everything,I am stuck into recovery and I cannot enter sdcard because there are no files anymore,such as the rom needed to be flashed.
If I mount sdcard n the mount and storage in cwm will windows explorer be able to put the rom back there? So i can flash it with.
update: volume down+home+power works perfectly,should I flash the rom with odin directly? the sdcard is empty too.

If you can get into download mode then you should easily be able to flash via Odin.
Do a search in the forum because there are many guides about flashing through Odin.

I will flash stock rom then I will try again to do android revolution hd 2.2.0 ( the step I missed is about creating a virtual ssd )
I will come with an update if the flash stock rom through odin works.

Checkrom comes in two versions,one is Odin flashable,flash that.then u are rooted after flashing
Next time u use superwipe remember to move the rom to EXTERNAL SD-card ,because internal SD-card is wiped.

Weird..odin exits after a while it says Please wait then it quits,while trying to flash stock rom,what's the problem?

I found a way to put the rom back there,but it is in sdcard,and I cannot enter it ( cannot mount )
How can I solve this from the recovery mode? I am still stuck in recovery mode or download mode..and the rom is on the card now,but cannot access to flash it with cwm

Why do not you just boot?
Previous rom is there but wiped and restored.
I do not think that superwipe was made to empty system from the rom.

The rom had to be put on a virtual/external sdcard,but because I didn't read carefully I put it on sdcard aslong with superwipe,so after I launched superwipe it deleted the sdcard files and the stock OS too,so it just says samsung galaxy siii like before it boots,but it stays that way..
I don't know how to get into the sdcard,cwm recovery says it cannot mount it,sdcard contains my rom,and because I cannot access it,I cannot flash it..I need a way to help cwm to mount sdcard,so I can flash it from there..
Otherwise I tried flashing stock rom but odin crashes,like I press start,then it says check md5 then Please wait,it gets stuck and quits..

Which recovery do you have? Is it the touch cwm?
Flash 5.5.0.4 1.5 from chainfire. Make sure when running odin nothing from kies is running in the background and make sure you do not tick re-partition.

It is not touch cwm..it is a normal cwm from what I have seen.
Can you give me the exact version ( including link )to flash with odin? I think it does not charge and I always get off the battery from it when I try something new and it does not work.

Then i need to tell you that you must flash through Odin a full rom then reroot and then flash again a custom rom of your choice.
Just make sure every time you flash with Odin nothing from Kies runs in the background. Otherwise Odin flash will fail or stuck.

What's the problem?
Its checking md5, that takes a few minutes.
Boot into download mode (volume down+home+power, press up when it says are you sure) then flash via Odin.
Its simple.

[Q] Flashed ICS on Note, now CANNOT get root!

I'm running IML74K.UCLd3, kernel 3.0.8 and android version 4.0.3.
For some reason, that ROM flashes fine. When I try to flash att_note_root.tar in Odin to get root, it all seems to go fine, then I can't boot the phone at all. It took a few tries to get back into download mode. The only thing I could do to boot the phone up was to flash the ROM again. So I still don't have root.
How can I:
Get root
Reinstall my apps (I have a Titanium backup)
Will installing old apps mess the new ROM up?
Do I need a new kernel?
I've been told to flash CWM to get root, but I don't know which version to flash.
HELP!!

Also, I flashed the MD5 file and rebooted. No root and ROM manager doesn't recognize that anything has been installed. I can also not get into recovery mode - the only choice I have is regular boot or download mode.

Yup...did follow the instructions. What I could NOT do was to reboot into recovery mode to finish the job. Held down vol up/down and power till the screen went black, the released vol up and power. All it did was put me in the yellow triangle screen with the options of vol down to reboot or vol up to download. No way to access recovery mode.
You let go of the wrong button...
All three buttons till you feel a vibrate..Then let off the POWER BUTTON

Please help. Formated everything.

If you can still go in CWM recovery mode: Turn off the phone, remove the battery and external sd card and place a cwm flashable rom on it. Put back the battery and sd card and boot in recovery and flash the rom. If you can`t get in CWM, use a jig to get in downloadmode and flash a stock rom with Odin.

Did you use Rom Manager to boot to recovery? I don't know if it's the same on i9100 but the i777 has issues with Rom Manger, with the recovery part of the kernel. I know CM comes with, I haven't researched it but maybe something to look into...... It kinda sounds like you formatted the ROM. GL

Flash siyah kernel via odin and that should give you a fresh copy of clock work recovery if its corrupt?
Rom manager is nothing but trouble.It done the same thing to my x10i and my sg2.
It took several hours to get them back to running cwm(so I could restore my nand backups).
I think I used doom lords easy rooting kit for one and Odin for the other.
I've done a lot of stuff on several phones and I can state that after using RM it left the phones as close to full brick as you can get........lol

Yup, there's your problem. Rom Manager flashes incompatible kernel.
Simply boot into download mode and flash Siyah kernel and you will be back up and running.

i can use CWM... not even with the hard key combination...

Odin cannot flash .zip formats and all the rom downlodables are in .ZIP format...

Hi try this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21659039 I got stuck on boot animation to RM and this guide fixed it. There is a full recovery package and guide included but it will wipe your device as it uses the CSC partition of odin. Read it thoroughly and see if it helps in your situation. All the best.

[Q] Kernel for nandroid backups? - JB 4.1.2 leak

apart from 'Philz' kernel no other Custom kernels will wrk with Stock JB leak ma8
OK thanks for that. Guess I'll have to wait. I really want to be able to do a nandroid backup in case things screw up and I have to spend ages restoring everything.
I never had problem with backups on Philz kernel. At least for me to do backup and restore working well.
Can't seem to install this! Just tried flashing the latest - PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.70 - using Mobile Odin. It just reboots the phone and the kernel isn't flashed. Tried it twice with/without the md5 tag but didn't work either time. What am I doing wrong?

Well, it's rooted - not sure about properly. I flashed a file (posted on XDA) which rooted it after flashing the ROM. Everything appears to be rooted - Superuser, Busybox, etc
Problem is I can't use Odin cause I'm on a Mac so I have to use the mobile version.

Your rooted for sure, i also flash that update.zip on recovery,but the thing is you cant flash a kernel via mobileodin.. i dont have an experience of flashing fw,kernel on M .O,but i read somewhere many users experiencing issues when using that,thats why i prefer windows odin. im not saying dont use M.O.. but if you want a guaranteed flashing just used odin for windows.

OK cheers.
Just out of interest I just booted into recovery <3e> and I get an error message in red at the bottom:
"E:Failed to seek in /cache/update.zip )invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed"
I'm confused. Does this refer to the root "update.zip" or to the kernel which didn't flash?

What does mobile odin says when you flash the kernel lately?and did you rename this
http://download.chainfire.eu/267/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip?retrieve_file=1 to update.zip? Before you flash as an update in external storage?

Yes, I renamed it "update.zip" before moving it to the ex SD and flashing it.
When I try and flash Philz kernel, it selects OK in Mobile Odin but when I press "flash" the phone just reboots normally, not into recovery and the kernel isn't flashed.

Did you try to download the file again? Download the kernel again,make sure it is finished,and flash it again.. mybe the file you download earlier is unfinished or interupted.

[Q] BIG problem

Hello,I got a big problem on my INTernational S3. (GT-I9300).
I am not new at rooting flashing ROMs etc.
Got my 3rd samsung android device btw.
So the problem :
1. I installed CM using CM installer,official downloaded from sites of CM,without no problems. Now my phone keeps spining on boot logo of CM 11?
I tried to flash normally using .zip file trough recovery ( CWM 6.0.4.6) but CWM keeps saying the ZIP file it´s bad (formated 3 times on FAT 32& 32kb and tried another storage) so i did it from the installer.
Now i got something like eh..stone brick but with BIG problems.
Recovery couln´t not mount /data (or wipe it etc.)
When i tried install backup (before CM install //from STOCK ROM//) it give me error:
Checking MD5 sums....
md5sum: nandroid.md5: No such file or directory
MD5 mismatch
so cant go back to Stock ROM through the recovery.
now i tried odin,succefully went to Download mode by Volume down+power+home but ODIN did not find the phone (PC did)
so i dont know how to make my phone working,now tring to copy some ROMs to SD card but SD adapter not working +fu#k+
If you want,contact me on skype : lehkyp15 or in PM can send some videos.
Please,help me guys,thanks for all help :good:
PS: sorry for english,im not from english speaking country

Search for proper Samsung drivers,that is why Odin can't see your phone.

Twrp is unable to read cm recovery backup and vice versa. You need to flash stock rom then root install recovery(Philz this time ,no problems with him) and flash custom rom. Don't use Cm flash tool,download nightly(or stable) and flash via recovery.
