This is the .tar file I used for CWM. Did a Factory data reset then flashed the package via ODIN (PDA). I had to reactivate my phone to get access to App Market to download Rom Manager. I Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery via Rom Manager and used the Reboot into Recovery to install the DL30.zip.

I followed the steps outlined in several other threads and got nothing but errors. This is the only way that worked correctly.
I did not install the new CWM until AFTER I flashed the DL30.zip!
Loving Froyo and hope everyone else gets it running soon!
Hi,
My phone quits during the update process to JB in recovery at around 32% and then once booted back into android displays a popup saying failed to update software, try again using kies or use a samsung service centre. It doesn't connect to kies (stays stuck at connecting) and pretty sure samsung will just wipe the phone which I'd rather not do.
I originally had the phone rooted with Siyah 1.5.3 but have since reflashed the stock i9300 3e android recovery, reset the flash counter to 0 and official binary with triangle away and fully removed root from within SuperSU. I have also wiped the cache, any ideas on why the update is still not applying? I would like to stick the stock rom and avoid wiping.
Same here,
Stock Rooted S3 with CWM and busybox. Used Mark Skipper's toolbox for that, and also used that to unroot, flash stock recovery and uninstall busybox. JB update also gets an error at 32%. Do I have to uninstall SU too? Really don't want to do a complete reinstall since CMW didn't manage to backup my phone...

Haven't tried to update since I unrooted (ota is only available during a few hours in the afternoon here and hasn't become available yet) but it removed the SuperSU.apk when I unrooted. Stweaks app is still there but doesn't work due to the lack of root. The only other non-stock thing left is the kernel but I don't think that should matter seeing as I've used triangle away and reset the counter and binary to official. I'll post on whether it works next time around
Try removing cwm somehow, many people find that this is a problem, same happens with me, apparently cwm fixed it in newer updates.:good:
CWM is the culprit. I really don't know why people insist on using that. It is utterly useless.
Download the ROM you want from samsung-updates.com or through CheckFUSDownloader, extract the .MD5 file from the downloaded ZIP, copy the .md5 file to the device, and flash using MobileOdin.
Then, if you want, just flash SiyahKernel again using Odin.
I had already removed cwm recovery and replaced it with the stock i9300 3e recovery but still didn't work, I downloaded the ota update manually and found it be a small incremental update which still didn't flash in the stock recovery due to a mount error..
in the end I checked the latest update available from checkfus, downloaded it from samfirmware.com and flashed it using odin.. and now got jelly bean without wiping! Reflashed siyah & su binary and everything is good now. Only issue now is the OS sees the device being modified (even after triangle away reset) so a future ota updates is off the cards.
this worked for me.

in triangle away there is a box that says something like modified workaround, tick that then run triangle away, when it restarts your status will be normal, then go to application manager and remove triangle away. after about 15 minutes go into superSU and unroot.
about a month ago I tried to change to a new ROM on my sgh-i717R model note which was already rooted running TWRP and a custom ROM that I had installed quite awhile ago. I did not realize that TWRP had to be updated to a newer version to use the 4.4 ROMS and the update failed and bricked my phone. I managed to fix it and put back a stock Rogers 2.3.6 ROM and it put back the original samsung recovery. The problem now besides being on an old ROM there is a lot of input lag using on screen keyboard, so I want to try a new custom ROM to see if it fixes things, but when I try to flash a new recovery with Odin (TWRP 2.8.0.0), Odin tells me that everything is good and it passes, but when I then reboot my device and go into recovery mode afterwards, it is the same samsung recovery mode with only the custom binary download counter incremented, but TWRP is nowhere to be found... I have tried with several versions of TWRP and it is the same thing.

You may have lost root when you went back to GB

yeah it was unrooted, but you cannot root without putting the custom recovery first.. Anyways I solved the problem, for some reason TWRP does not work (even though I tried all the versions specified for quincyatt and sgh-i717) but I was able to put on CWM no problems and re-root with superuser from there.

I know this thread is a couple weeks old but I thought I'd add something that I have found that might help if someone else has this problem.
The only way I was able to install the new version of TWRP was to install the old one first while rooting the phone then download the new versions .zip and update it via TWRP. I was able to get the new version working that way and now I am able to flash any rom I want with no issues.
Hope this helps others.
Hi guys so I have recently taken the ota for lollipop after being unable to use mobile odin pro to update to lollipop and keep root. since mobile odin does not flash bootloaders and hidden files the phone simply would not boot and was not going into recovery mode either.
Today I was able to solve this by
first step I odin flashed the ne6 firmware I had to factory reset the phone to get It to boot after downgrading from lollipop
then I towelrooted and installed mobile odin pro
next I used mobile odin pro to flash the lollipop firmware but instead of letting the phone reboot after the flash, I set mobile odin pro to reboot into download mode instead.
from there I pc odin flashed the modem/bootloader file or "firmware only file that Artizan made here http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/dob1-firmware-file-t3036102
the t mobile screen was taking a long time so I factory reset and then it booted fine
now the strange thing is supersu was able to update the binary and grant permission to both root checker and busybox but neither app is acting properly . they both say that they were granted permission but busybox is not installing and root checker just hangs. oh well at least phone info and cpuz recognize that the phone is rooted but so far root apps are not working properly
I can't seem to boot to recovery and I cant go to OS bc it doesnt have one.
Here is full story:
I wiped /system and /data
Tried to install an updated rom
Phone denies the ROM
Decided to update the recovery as well
Rebooted to recovery
Nothing happened
Probably bc I flashed it via zip, not .tar
Went to Odin or download mode
Tried to install rom
Didn't work (dm-verity issue or something)
Tried to install recovery via odin
Rebooted itself
Boots to Samsung logo
Can't go to recovery
Can't go to os
Only way is odin
Also before it booted to logo
There's a charging symbol which won't go away
I was thinking maybe a custom rom that can be flashable using odin would work?
but i couldnt find any
