You can't do it in TWRP, like custom ROM. You will need to do it with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884924

Back to stock recovery, ROM, kernel
THIS WILL ERASE THE WHOLE CONTENT OF YOUR PHONE (backup first)
download latest stock firmware
download odin from tools 'collection' below
check if samsung kies is installed. if not, please install it.
do a full wipe if you have custom recovery installed, otherwise...(*)
put the device in download mode
connect it to computer and open odin
watch from 1:06 to http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1uK-k3KfY5c#t=66s
done.
(*) this case will be covered soon. (teory: temporarily boot twrp recovery to make a full wipe)
--> Tools are in the proper section.

I wonder if you had posted in all things discussion thread :/
Please keep our development forum clean.

Odin is not risky - if you can get into DL Mode - I'd suggest running ODIN and flashing back to stock. I have used that application many many times.
Make sure it is the one linked in the Q&A sticky as that will put you back to OTA JH7 (Eclair).
Then you can attempt to re-flash the custom ROM of your choosing.
Also in the future if you want to keep CWM - after flashing and installing ROM Manager again you can copy the update.zip and move it to your external SDCard or computer... and then copy it back over if needed.
Then go into regular recovery - have it run the update.zip -> reboot back into recovery and run it again and you should get CWM back on your phone.
But.. if you pooched your current install it is highly recommended to flash back to stock first to make sure you have a clean install.
one more thing how to install odin drivers there is 12 folders in it
Sounds like you do not have the correct ODIN 1 Click application.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 to download Odin and install your USB drivers for your phone (if you need them)
It is a stand alone *.exe - you run that application - and then put your phone into download mode - then plug in your USB cable into your phone and hit the go button on the application to restore it back to stock.

please help me: my galaxy note doesn't boot and doesn't enter into recovery

hello,
i am trying to flash a cutom rom, i started by rooting my phone through the samsung stock recovery, then i download cwm.zip recovery and install it from stock recovery (update from zip file).

1. Where you find cwm.zip can you link me that page (not file)
2.Are you able to entre in download mode
3.You were on which ROM while doing this?
i downloaded cwm.zip with the busybox from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
yes i can enter the download mode
i am on the stock ics rom (which i upgraded the 2.3 to it)
please help me
and thanks for the fast reply
First you didn't know that zip is not available now, and you must have this which you downloaded earlier, that zip is abandonas it proved to use unsafe and can brick device.
Not only that, you souldn't have to wipe anything on stock ICS.
Anyway if you are able to enter download mode then flash any GB ROM you have already with you, otherwise download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin
ok i wasn't know that, anyway i downloaded odin, what did i need else? what you mean by "download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin"?
i didn't understand this sentence, did it mean that i need specific type of rom to flash it from odin?
thank you a lot
Yes download this
http://d-h.st/HJM
Extract it and flash with PC odin.

please reply thanks
with my respect
See everything is on your luck, I hope you get device working again with above said ROM.
But remember even after flashing ROM successfully, it may not boot up, dont worry. enter to recovery(vol up+hole+power) and wipe cache, delvik cache and data. then it should fine.
But if while flashing ROM, if it stuck then your luck is not with you and chances will be high you have bricked device.
Let report back, n Me or someone will guide you for next step.

if it is depends on my luck, so it is a problem anyway thank u a lot and wish me a good luck.
B'coz what you did was totally wrong and risky, and if any damage you had can only rule out once your device gets life again. So pray before flashing and GoodLuck from ourside.

yes it was been a wrong, and i didn't have the enough experience to do like this step,
i install the ore rooted rom (in your signature) and i flash it, before it finish flashing it stop and then give an error, and when i turn on the phone to the recovery mode it give a message "firmware upgrade encourtted an issue, please select recovery mode is kies and try again" what can i do please.
thanks
You should have noted down the error on that flash before you went to recovery mode. Every error is an essential part and you should take a note of it as this can lessen your upgrade issues.
So here's what your going to do. Turn the phone to Airplane Mode.
Try to reflash again the pre prooted GB room in download mode Once your successful doing it, download stock ICS firmware (in your region) from www.samfirmware.com. Don't use OTA updates as this will mostly fail. Just use PC KIES to update your phone back to 4.0.4 ICS.
Take it one step at a time and again next time, remember try not to be in a hurry doing it. It takes patience and a bit of luck in flashing and upgrading.
Yes as above said, reflash ROM by putting device in download mode
hello again
in the begining thank you for your help
i fixed my phone, in a shop specialized for these cases but i dont know how.
and my phone now returned to the stock ics rom.4.0.3
i would ask if i can flash a custom rom (jelly bean 4.1 for example) and what are the safety steps that can i follow to avoid any another brick to my phone? what do you advise?
thanks again.
if u on ics u need to flash a safe kernel like philz or hydracore. that's it. Now u r good to go
Is there any danger if i flash any of the kernels u mentioned? And does the phone remain working after i flash the kernel? And after i flash the kernel what is the next step? Flash the rom? Or there is any step required before?
Thanks a lot
yes the phone will work after flashing any of the mentioned kernels.
philz is the best for ics as it can be installed from stock recovery and it's safe and gives u root and cwm
then u can boot into cwm and do a factory reset format system, data, wipe cache and dalvik then install the new rom.

Yes you can go back to original stock ROM any time by flashing via Odin
Sent from galaxy ace running S3 beta 3.1 evolution
You can go directly to steps G and H after rooting. Step C is for flashing the stock firmware, thats our safety net, whenever things go wrong, we flash stock firmware via Odin and the device becomes brand new.
There is no bootloader issue here, you can directly install custom recovery and get flashing. Just stay away from the ROM Manager app, its incompatible with this phone.
Simple Guide for getting Cyanogenmod working
Hey
I got this phone a while ago and can share my experience on it with you.
first off: DON'T TOUCH ROM MANAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!
I have seen too many people go down the bricking route to sit and watch another person go down that route...
Anyway, why dont you flash CM 7.2.0 cooper? Ive been using it for a month now and its great! Its the latest stable release, i didnt want to go any higher since I don't have the cash for a new phone, and have no use for a paperweight its quite simple really,
1: download cooper (i havent posted 10 yet so take away spaces) [get. cm / get / 2K8]
2: download CMW recovery (attached: couldnt find file I have online)
3: put the files in your sd root
4: boot into recovery (power+home)
5: install CMW recovery by clicking on (with home button) apply update from sd card and locate the zip file
6: reboot again into recovery (now CMW recovery)
6.1: (OPTIONAL, but recommended) make a full backup under backup and restore
7: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and in advanced, wipe dalvik cache
8: install zip from sd, pick the cyanogenmod zip and apply. HAVE FUN
Just ask if there is anything I can help you with

[Q] Need urgent help !!! Unbrick, Kernel, Recovery

Hello friends,
I need urgent help !!!
Yesterday one of my very close friend gave me his Note to upgrade to JB (he was on ICS. LF4 if I remember correct)
So I did following :
1. Downloaded couple of Custom ROMs and PhilZ 6.26.6 on to his phone (External SD)
2. Tried to boot into Recovery and voila.....his HOME button is not working. Anyways I booted and adb reboot recovery
3. Then I flashed PhilZ and it flashed successfully. Since I couldn't boot into Recovery without Home button I did Reboot System.
4. Stuck in N7000 Blackscreen and adb shows Device Offline
What I am planning to do now
1. Put device to DOWNLOAD mode through USB JIG
2. Flash Stock JB (Here's 2nd problem - download links are not working for Stock JB at least not Indian one Can somebody with fast internet plz upload it on dev host or Mediafire and share with us. Thanks !!! )
3. Reboot into Recovery and flash PhilZ
4. Flash Custom ROM
Am I doing things right? Is my direction correct?
I would still prefer if I somehow could boot in current OS, put some Custom Recovery and flash Custom ROM. Saving Stock ROM flash path and ODIN.
Plz help and advise !!!!!
Thanks !!!
You installed a kernel that doesn't fit to ICS. So it's no suprise the system doesn't boot. Install an ICS kernel and at least the system should start again.
And after that: give it back to your friend and let him repair the home button first. Don't risk being the fool who ruined his device.
Update: just read again and saw that right now you don't get a connect with adb. So yes, it seems to be the only solution to install an stock rom with Odin. After that I still would give it back for repair.

Can you give me link for safe ICS kernel ? Will this work http://www.mediafire.com/download/32ik5mg6bgg8q1d/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.99.tar.md5
I need to boot in the current OS once to take backup of EFS (I heard JB wiped off EFS of few).
Thanks for coming forward to help !!!
Yes this is an ICS kernel with Philz recovery. Should work and give you the chance to reboot into the OS.
And a backup of EFS is a very good idea (after a repair in Thailand I'm using a developer imei).
Good luck.

[Q] Stuck boot (not all rom)

First I want to apologize for words error (poor english speech)
I have ace (s5830). When flashing rom's they stuck on boot. (Not all) One in this forum rom working! (but can't remember who)
Always Instal instruction:
Back to stock firmware.
factory reset /wipe (if I not do- stuck on boot)
Instal root.zip
wipe data/cache. (sometimes not do) Trying diferent.
Instal cuctom_rom.zip
[1 time try wipe..]
Try reboot system.... Boot stuck.
Using: cwm, twrp...
What did I do wrong?
First of all ur description indicates that u have not flashed custom recovery...instead u flashed custom rom directly over stock firmware...That would be extremely dangerous.
Now that you've stuck at boot screen, you must :
* Revert back to stock firmware by flashing it via Odin, then,
* Root ur phone(optional) : not required if u use Odin to flash custom recovery.
* Flash custom recovery: u can find one in this s5830 forum.
Note that s5830 & s5830i(or any alphabet appended) are completely different from each other. You should only use roms, recovery or firmwares intended for ur respective model…
* Now wipe data/cache/dalvik & /system from this new recovery u just flashed in order to install a custom rom.
* NOW u can flash custom roms.
Pls. also note that roms like cm11 require u to have a certain specific recovery...so be careful.
For any other instructions, see the particular rom/recovery thread.
:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!
I wanna to try your method (till now never wipe /system. Ignores cwm versions...), but now I have new problem...
can't access to '/system/csc/KPN/system/'

.
Try back to stock with odin 3times, but problem not disappear.
Try netherland (KPN) and baltic (BAL) stock firmware for s5830. found only one package files. Not find 3 files (Phone, PDA, CSC)
Maybe is simple steps to fix it?
