Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me with this.
I was trying to install CM10.1 - I am a bit of a noob but thought after successfully installing on my Tab2 that I should be OK.
I was following the guide on androidtelegraph.com and had managed to root the phone and install CWM no problem.
When trying to install CM10.1 something went wrong and the installation aborted. I didnt backup the previous ROM - when I tried there was an error. I guess I should have stopped at that point! Possibly lack of space on the phone.
Now the phone has been wiped and I really don't know what to do to get it back (if I can!). Switching on the phone just gives me the Samsung logo.
The file I was trying to install was cm-10.1.3-RC2-jfltexx
I would be very grateful for any help or support that can be offered.
Hi again,
I was wondering if adding more information may help.
What I had done was firstly successfully root the phone (confirmed via the Root Checker app).
I also successfully installed CWM recovery using Odin (confirmed as booted into CWM Recovery) using this file CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5
When I booted into CWM Recovery I then wiped data (tried to do backup first but this failed).
I tried to then install the CM 10.1 zip from this file cm-10.1.3-RC2-jfltexx
Thats when the phone failed.
The phone can still boot into CWM Recovery and can also be "seen" by Odin in download mode,
I guess I'm trying to understand what stage my phone is at - is it "bricked" and what I can do to resolve the issue?
Again extremely grateful for any support.

Hi awesome XDA dudes
I've searched the forums, and even posted in the basic QA section to no avail. I may have just missed it somewhere, but here is the issue.
Tablet will work fine in Lightspeed 4.8 ROM. No issue there. But, when I try to get into the recovery (power and volume down) I get "booting recovery kernel image," forever.
I recently changed from the Clockwork to TWRP recovery and that is when the recovery function would no longer load.
How can I get back to Clockwork or smililar so that I can put a different ROM on my tab?
Thanks in advance!
Tom
Fixed this problem, only to find another.
So, since my tablet would still function normally (aside from recovery) I downloaded the Acer Recovery Installer App. And this did what everything else failed to do. It installed Clockwork Mod and I was actually able to get into the recovery. Whew!
So I went to install Flex shockwave ROM but the install froze at the Aroma 2.56 stage...forever. Tried again unsuccessfully and gave up. I did properly wipe and format beforehand. I then tried installing CM10 Rom, same exact problem.
So, I used Acer Recovery installer and loaded the TWRP recovery. Here is where things get interesting. I booted into recovery, wiped data and caches, and tried to install the aforementioned ROMs. Each time, Aroma installer worked fine and I was presented with all the install options, all the bells and whistles. After completing my selections, I was prompted to reboot.....
And each time the tablet hangs on the Acer spalsh screen.
So now my problem is reversed. I have access to recovery, but no ROM. :crying:
SOLVED !!

Ok, so I had a working ROM but my recovery was fried. So, using Acer Recovery Installer I was able to get a working recovery going.
Then the next problem was that I could not get CM10 to install. When I realized I needed to flash the bootloader (and yes fellow noobs this is different than the recovery) I was unsuccessful.
I tried the automated route using the Blackthund3r app, but the process would just hang at Entering bootloader.
I tried the manual NVFlash route provided by Dibbs and it would get past this point and then hang.
So Dibbs (thanks dude) helped me out via email and suggested I download babsector.rar
After I extracted the rar file, I saw the A501 A.bat file and flashed it. This provided me with hope as it flashed the tablet and the screen atcually read "PASS." But, I wasn't done yet as I still could not install CM10. So, back to APX mode and back into the babsector rar folder. I flashed the Tab with A501 B.bat and followed that immediately with flashing the v8.bat file. In the V8.bet file I chose the Thor 1.7.3 recovery (as suggested by Dibbs and others) and WOOHOOO.....PASS on the tablet again.
Feeling ever more confident, I booted into recovery and flashed the CM10 Rom....SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are having trouble....don't give up. Thanks again for the help to Dibbs and OKAstro!!
Hi,
Just bought a I-9505 and wanted to install the CyanogenMod 10.1.
I followed the instructions i could find. Rooted with CF-AutoRoot. Installed the CWM recovery. Rebooted into recovery mode. Had the nightly build of CyanogenMod on the SD card as a zip file. The process started. After a few minutes i got an error message inthe CWM. The change to CyanogenMod apparently failed. Now the phone is stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Logo. I can get into the download menu and flash things from ODIN but i cannot get into the recovery mode again.
What can i do? Any suggestion is deeply appreciated.
restore with odin ans start over
Sup,
got a S4 from a mate to root. Already rooted my own S3, so I know what to do.
I flashed the newest CF Auto Root from chainfire via Odin
flashed the newest CWM via Odin too
then went into the recovery
Wiped everything (data, factory reset, dalvik and even system)
But as soon as I want to install a custom rom, it tells me "installation aborted".
Tried different roms, but none has worked.
Also tried Philz Touch 6 and TWRP but still getting the same problem.
Why does the recovery say that there's no root access if I want to shut down the device?
"Root access is missing. Root device now?"
This appears everytime I shut down from recovery. Could this be the problem?
I appreciate every kind of help
E3: uh.. After a few hours I finally got the solution.
- I installed this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824) (Stockrom)
- Flashed root again
- Flashed CWM again
- and finally I am able to install a custom rom !
I was going to say reflash root. But I see you did it yourself. Nice thinking

Hi,
I have Defy MB525 and I currently flashed JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf.
I read most of the guides here, but I'm still in the loop - cannot get working TWRP to install latest CM11.
I flashed Recovery BootStrap v4 (TWRP) but when the phone starts booting, it ends up with the following screen and I cannot go foward.
It doesn't matter, what I choose (Recovery or continue.). When I press the menu button (to choose Recovery), nothing happen, till the 3rd press - than the display goes black and thats all .
Maybe its related to the bootloader version, which is 09.10 or is there any prerequisite to successfully install TWRP?
Any idea where could be the problem or what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you in advance
Issue fixed
Even that nobody replied, I finally fixed this issue, so I will post here the solution, which may help to anybody else:
I finally found the sbf file, which is working with my Defy: http://motoroladefyall.nortol.info/motorola/joe30_236_DFP-231_Magyaritasa/DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf.gz
After flashing this, the phone finally booted and saying its MB526, but never mind...
Then I rooted the phone with Framaroot app and installed the TWRP recovery (bootstrap). This time SuperUser was asking for root permission, so I granted it, flashing recovery was finished and the phone was rebooted.
Then the recovery was finally working, so I flashed the resize.zip, latest CM11 and minimal GAPPS.
And hurray, my Defy is finally running with the latest KK
EDIT:
Please delete thread. There is an issue with my SD card resulting in files being corrupted. Massive losses. I was able to successfully install ROM by uploading files to Internal Storage
Hello,
I have been attempting to flash AryaMod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-3-tw-lollipop-5-1-1-t3326976/post67619860#post67619860
on my SM-N900W8. From the stock rom, I rooted it using CF-Auto-Root, then installed TWRP.
After downloading and putting all the necessary files on my SD Card, I attempted to install this but TWRP kept giving me file errors "Error: Secure Check Fail : aboot" when attempting to install anything, the kernel, the rom, the bootloader and modem, etc. Nothing was working.
I read that TWRP isn't very good with Aroma stuff and I should be using CWM, so I attempted to install that. Everytime I installed CWM, it would say it is going into recovery, then restart the phone, over and over..
Figured that I needed to just do a fresh install. I get a new Stock Lollipop 5.0 DOH1 from Kies, reroot with CF-Auto-Root, then install CWM from ROM Manager. Same thing, recovery bootloops.
Is there a way to fix either CWM or to get Aryamod to work with TWRP? Is the CF-Auto-Root breaking the recovery install since it installs through recovery as well?
At this point I've spent an entire day trying to get Aryamod with no luck. What the heck am I doing wrong?
