Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4
best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.
and where you going to get a backup rom ? does Kies do some sort of full back up ?

Well, odin recognizes it even with it not being in download mode, and I figured out how to compile my recovery rom, so it is currently flashing, will let you know what happens! Keep your fingers crossed!
EDIT: it gave me "FAIL" please help! I am using odin 1.3
It seems to fail at recovery.bin, maybe mine is corrupted.
If someone could post theirs for a 4.0 u.s. version, I would appreciate it!
Follow this to get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082288
for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.
I need help! My Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (i545). Tried flashing a new ROM (CMod 9) but got error on Odin and after restart get the error message. Please Help!!!
If Odin still connects you can flash the stock ROM and start over again.
I agree. Restore back to stock and retry. Links in my sig should help you.
Why were you trying to flash CM9? That doesnt even exist for are phone. You should really check what you are downloading and file names before you just go and flash it.

Hey guys I'm having the same issue. I rooted my phone and tried to flash CM but it didn't seem to work. I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I'm still able to get to odin and it is recognized but fails every time I try to load the tar via Odin. Any help would be much appreciated!

yes ik...im just waiting for the file to download. if it works im going to be extremely happy.
Okay, so i am on android 4.3 MJ7, sch-i545, yada yada yada
I rooted the phone and installed titanium so i could delete some bloatware (when i should have just installed a custom recovery and get Cyanogenmod or something while i was on 4.2.2)
I wound up deleting some pretty important apps that i thought were bloatware from Samsung/Verizon (Downloads, Download Manager, Video to name a few). Now, i can't play a video i record, I can't open the play store, etc.
I would flash a custom rom like Cyanogenmod, but i don't think it is possible to get a Custom Recovery on android 4.3
Any help getting these apps back would be greatly appreciated.

Factory default will not restore deleted system apps. You will need to Odin.

I understand i will need to use Odin, but i'm unsure which file i will need to flash it with. Could you point me in the direction of a rom i can use?
You should always back up the app before you delete it, even if you think you will never use it.

It's been awhile since I installed a PHilz recovery, but if I remember right you get the tar file from the download, put it on your computer, put the phone in download mode (volume down and power), connect your phone to your computer using the charging cable that came with the phone. Odin recognizes the phone and you highlight the tar file you have on your computer and select PDA. Click start and let it do it's "thing". Wait until you get a green "pass" in Odin before disconnecting. If I remember correctly the link I provided also has install instructions so if my memory is failing me those instructions should keep you on the right track EDIT: Go here for instructions on how to install the downloaded Philz package; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433857#post39433857

You can't install a custom recovery on MJ7. It's been posted many times.
I have no clue why anyone would actually delete the apps. Just Freeze then with TiBu to make them functionally not there. If you are that tight on space, buy an SD card.

I recently updated my g870a to the latest and not-so-greatest build.
I didn't like the way it felt, and being the way I am, I tried to do things myself.
So I downloaded Odin and tried to flash the previous update (4.4.4), but I pulled a stupid and soft-bricked it after flashing it. I decided to be stubborn and I fiddled around with the recovery boot and probably screwed it over even more.
Can anybody please help me out? I Would like to get my phone back in working order :/

Just a little bit of troubleshooting to check the situation, see if this can help.
Where did you get the firmware to downgrade it? What Odin version are you using? Was the flashing successfull? Do you have a custom recovery?

I don't care how you get it to work, as long as it works and I can use it for phone calls and such. I tried to get safe strap on there, it didn't work. Tried Odin, didn't work. I'm a bit frazzled at this point.
