haibe: I think this problem arises becauses you did an OTA update when rooted, i warned about this earlier because it causes errors and may even brick your device.

Now reflash your 4.2.2 stock rom

Check for whatever update you want

After this you can now install cwm and root your phone.

Also make sure you are pressing those buttons well, volume up, home key and power key.

Thanks for all ur help, pls hw to flash 4.2.2 stock rom?

physise: dats weird try to flash stock recovery..I think ur stock recovery is missing..

How can I flash stock recovery? Pls help me ooo

physise: u sure say u download d right cmw?u mean d fone only boots into stock recovery?

When I press vol up+home+powerbutton it won't boot into recovery mode. D samsung galaxy grand logo will display and display again for lyk 3 to 4 tyms before d phone will load normal

haibe: You did OTA update when you were rooted?

Ever since d factory reset and d update, I can't root d device again and av tried all d suggested methods. I always get pass msg from odin but when I try to boot to recovery mode and install zip files from sdcard it will show some errors lyk signature verification failed. It's lyk am giving up

haibe: @physise I reflashed the 4.2.2 stock rom in order to be unrooted. Now I am unrooted but the software updates says updates have already been installed.

how did you get your own stability update?

I also did d stabilty update thru OTA and eva since I av been unable to root d phone again. Though backup and restore d factory setting before doing d ota update

haibe: root checker basic would help you. download from play store.

This device does not have proper root access is d msg I got when I used d root checker basic.
Pls help me, I need to get d root access back because I av rooted d phone b4 until I check for update and I factory reset d phone to install d update according to physise explanation.now I am finding it diff to root d device again

haibe: http://www.mediafire.com/download/vz9lq8m9d2x32as/CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.zip

dont forget to enable usb debugging in your phone and in odin tick the Auto reboot and f.reset time.

Also make sure you still have root access.

How can I check if I still av root access? And since I upgraded to 4.2.2 I can't find developer where I can enable usb debugging

haibe: I will urge you to flash the normal cwm cos I dont know about the phil touch, its obviously a problem with the recovery you are using.

can u pls help wit a beta one. am running android 4.2.2

haibe: are you sure you are still on cwm recovery and not stock recovery? I got that error on stock recovery only.

yeah am on cwm recovery because i got a pass from odin after flashing wit dis CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.md5 then when i did not get it i flash wit dis again philz_touch_5.15.0-i9082.tar.md5 i got it from xda site but d problem still remain d same

yeah I used odin to flash. So u mean I should backup then factory reset d phone from CWM recovery mode?

haibe: you can do them at once, remember to wipe davik cache after flashing them, infact it is recommended you wipe it before and after flashing.

Where will I find davik cache? Tyanx
