Download cwm rom manager from the manager, and install the recovery.
After that you can install the rom you desire!
i tried that and still same result. I have install other roms before but now it wont let me get to the install from sd screen
You should probably learn how to flash back to stock first (instructions are in many of the Guides). If you are flashing roms, eventually something will go wrong, and you will need to reflash to stock, or at least install a new kernel and recovery. Using Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel is part of the instructions for installing CM. Better to have Odin and the JFD file on hand when your phone bricks or boot-loops.

Select reinstall packsges....you may have to do it twice then you should be out of stock recovery and into clockwork recovery

You can download CWR from my signature and put it on your internal SD. Put the update.zip on the internal and make sure it is only thing labeled .zip on there. Hit Reinstall Packages, let it cycle then hit it again. Recovery will go from blue to green and then you can install ROM from SD.
+1 on the reading and how to install ROMs. Plus while you are in CWR, go to Backup/Restore and do a nandriod backup.
Good luck.
i have all that and have gone back to stock and everything. still same results

What these guys have told you has worked time and time again for most everyone else. What I would recommend is that you get the AIO toolbox. Everything you need in a one-stop-shop.

recovery issue

Hi!
Need a help!
Recently I've tried to root my tab 10.1 p7500. But I failed. Then I've reinstalled my device.
Now, when I try to access the recovery, I get something different.
I no more have the 'update from your SD card.
But I have : update from external storage and update from cache.
Please help!
Here is some pic.
This is the factory recovery.
To root you'll need to flash a custom recovery.
Follow anyone of the numerous tutorials available and try again
i am at the same area. was just handed this device and cannot unlock bootloader. is there any updated ways to unlock the bootloader?
Because this is the factory recovery, that's why,
Go to droidbasement.com and download the cwm-based recovery, flash this via odin's pda slot, i think pershoot explained it on the site how you should flash it, BUT READ BEFORE YOU FLASH THINGS ON YOUR TAB!
Once you have the cwm based recovery installed, move the rom you want to install to your device and boot again in recovery,now you should be able to flash ROM'S via this custom recovery
If you have more questions feel free to ask
Edit: before you flash another rom, data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cashe via cwm recovery first
factory recovery.
flash an CWM with odin!

Installing Roms on Galaxy Note II
Try rebooting the phone, that usually works for me when my phones get stuck booting up.

There are a few possibilities of what could have happened. The most possible one that I can think of is that you did not Wipe Data/factory rest before flashing your rom. When updating to a new rom, it is most of the time necessary to choose wipe data/factory reset from the recovery before flashing. So what you do now is: 1.Boot into recovery. 2. choose the wipe data/factory reset option(U will loose all ur apps that u have downloaded, your photos music and videos should remain intact tho) 3. Flash your ROM again.
Hope that helps
thank you

[Q] no boot after Samsung update

Hey guys its been since my first epic 1 that I been here..what I have is an unrooted s3 I updated it and it worked fine but the next day it wont boot past the big s....I was wondering if anyway to undo the update? I dont want to wipe and flash because all my pics and music and some important files that mever made it to my sd card..any help or idea?
Boot to recovery and clear cache and dalvic, probably won't help though.
Next step is always to factory reset, you might get around this by installing custom recovery (Philz recovery is recommended), use that to format system, data etc. before installing your previous stock rom via .zip. That way your internal sd files will still be there and the phone will boot.
Follow guides in general, stickies.
Ok but it wont let me in recovery mode.I can get into the odin but thats it.can I dl cwm to it from the comp in odin mode? Or do I have to root it from there and see what it does?
from the odin mode flash stock rom as per your region. Also please note you will loose your data.

Galaxy S3 crazy boot loop

hi everybody.
my phone is booting every time. with odin i installed already twrp and cwm. with twrp I can just see the logo and then the phone is booting again. with cwm, i am able to see the menu but when i try to wipe the phone, the phone starts to boot again.
i installed cyanogenmod via adb but the phone is not starting android.
the last chance i have is to hope that someone of you have a solution.
i uploaded a video to show you what i mean.

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM?
yes. but it is still in the loop.
Flashing in Odin was successful?
After flashing the stock ROM, did you perform a factory wipe before booting for the first time?
thats not possible. i can boot to the clockworkmod recovery but if i choose the option "wipe data/factory reset" the recovery will be closed and the smartphone boots again and open the recovery.
1, download mode and flash an official stock rom (one package) via odin. Make sure it is for your device specifically.
2, Boot to official stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset. If the phone reboots after this you need to be prepared to key combo to download mode BEFORE it boots android.
3, Flash the official stock rom again.
All remnants of any previous roms will be gone and you should have a booting phone.
Beamed in by telepathy.
It worked with the stock recovery. Now I was able to install cyanogenmod. Thank you very much!!!
