Would someone please help me.:confused: I have cwm 5.0.2.7 on my phone. I flashed a Rom yesterday and my phone is stuck at RCH-720 screen. I went into cwm but it keeps saying can't mount cache/recovery/ & can't open cache/recovery/. So I reflashed cwm but I still get the same.What have I done wrong?:confused:
 
Have you tried [wipe userdata/factory reset] + [Wipe cache] ?

Then when you reboot, turn off, goto CWM and restore.

If you can't wipe data then throw your phone In the air and Admire how it falls and gets smashed in the ground or goes down a hill.

u need req0's cwm, 5.0.2.8
u flashed an ext4 rom and it partitioned the phone differently, rfs partitions for 5.0.2.7, it wont see the data system or cache partitions.


flash this. and then wipe, reflash the stock rom, backup after flashing, wipe again and flash the custom rom.
reboot + ???? = PROFIT !!
 
I have the same exact problem. Your "flash this" link is empty. Can you tell me what it was and post a new link? Please and thanks!

Return to Stock Admire Samsung - Download - 4shared - carlos Belardo

Turn off phone
Plug usb cable to ur computer only.
Hold down camera button and then connect the usb cable to the phone
A screen will appear saying your about to enter download mode, press volume up and acpet.
(Make sure drivers are installed on computer)

4 Find where it says Select OPS. Hit OPS Button and load the file named SCHR720.ops

Make sure you have drivers installed and winrar or some like that to extract the files, if you follow my instructions everybody should be fine with this and it only takes like 3 minutes. Good Luck!
 
Yes cogra this will wipe everything on phone, backup first to keep important things...I flash alot and on alot of different phones so I keep apks stockpiled on my laptop and mediafire just in case as well as contacts/cwm backups/roms ect...plus, then u can just reinstall app for file host and download all u need quick without clogging up your SD card...

I have a lot of experiance with odin. Im quite sure that the odin package for the admire makes you loose data and wifi. You will have to use a tool to fix your data witch is quite a hastle. Correct me if im wrong, but isnt it a better idea if you use the simple update tool?

If that's the case wouldn't it save time just to flash the update since running the tool overwrites any previous rom?
