Root [STOCK] [CWM-BACKUP] Samsung Admire 2.3.4 Stock (EH02)

[trome]

Thanks for the tip dude1891.
I just tried it.Same result.Still got this damn : "MD5 mismatch !"

EDIT : I'll try a fresh download.In the meantime if anybody think of something,please chime in.

 

[trome]

It did it after I re-download the MetroNoob files.
THANK YOU so much dude1891,you saved my a$$.
Thanks a lot both of you.
I get some knowledge (even if that wasn't the initial goal!),and I'm a little less ignorant Android-wize that I was a couple of days ago ... and I've learn my lessons!

so again if somebody have the same issue.
1-Be sure your download is fresh and untouched.
2- DO NOT delete the .Android_Secure.TAR file before restoring.Wipe datas afterward.

Hey guys I soft bricked my rooted admire but I never installed a custom rom cause I heard they dont work good on these phones. Where can I get the metro pcs gingerbread firmware and how do I get it on my phone just using the plain old samsung recovry screen?

 

[zandersig]

So this file will not work without a custom rom, right?

 

[zandersig]

Any one help or guide me on how to install a custom rom on my Samsung Admire SCH-R720, it has the stock Gingerbread but I have it rooted.

can someone please please please help me? my email is jakecoles55@hotmail.com and my facebook is Jake Coles, i have a pic of me and my gf.
no matter what rom i install, stock, stock++, monster5, monster4, admire beast, any one ive tried all do the exact same thing, they just play the last boot screen over and over and the phone won't start, I'm freakin out cuz i just got this phone today and i didn't know what a nandroid backup was until after this started :'( please, someone help. I'm gonna post this in as many places as i can find, please don't mark as spam! I need help!

Jake, whenever you flash you Rom, make sure you wipe Dalvik Cache. If you have a EXT4 or EXT2 Mount Script Installed, Sometimes you'll need to format your memory card or take the memory card out after you flashed it. It happened to me sometimes.

Hopefully this will solve your problem, but if It doesn't, you can try to use ODIN and Flash Gingerbread 2.3.7, and revert back to stock.

this might be a dumb question, but can restore this with cwm5.0.2.8 or do i have to flash the old cwm first?

 

[RoccoSocco]

Noob question....using this method will restore my phone to near factory? Would it possibly restore my mms that I screwed up?

Noob question 2....how do I wipe Dalvik cache?

Go into recovery and choose advanced ... And you should see wipe dalvik cache

I think it should be 5.0.2.7 since its basically stock.

Thanks for the help, but when I go into the recovery mode i see no option for "advanced".

Is this just for those who have something other than the stock rom?

I am the noobiest noob that ever noobed.

Did you install clockwork mod on your phone

Did you install clockwork mod on your phone

Just did, and now I am back up and running...thanks a lot.

Use the recovery you had when you did the back up.

Shhdfhibebimdnddjiesksk what the hell?

How does this help in any way?

i get md5 mismatch when trying to restore this

This is the problem with posting CWM backups vs. flashable backup zips. The MD5 sums change. You'll have to recheck the MD5sums and update them in "nandroid.md5" located in the cwm backup folder.
I would suggest the OP make a flashable zip of this stock rom to avoid md5 issues.
