i had cwm 2.5 and needed to upgrade to 3 for a rom i wanted to try. i used odin to flash cmw 3.0.0.8.
but upon reboot after the flash i ended up in the stock samsung recovery. and now all boots goto this recovery, cannot boot to the rom anymore. so i flashed back to cmw 2.5 and same thing, stuck in this recovery boot loop.
anyone know how to solver this issue? thanks!
i found if i disabled voodoo while in cwm 2.5, i was able to flash an image back on. and the recovery boot loop went away.

Edit: This was solved by reflashing cf-root, which restored both recovery and cache to safe versions. Now I need to boot into recovery with Home+VolumeUp+Power and restore a backup.
I was flashing and testing new versions of clockwork recovery (using Heimdall, not Odin). Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen (it doesn't play the audio or get to the boot animation). I can still boot into download mode, but I can't boot to recovery. I've flashed other versions of recovery, including versions that I know are good. I've pulled the battery. What can I do to get my phone back? I don't think I've done anything besides back up the system and flash a new recovery image!
Anybody know what to do? Next thing I can think of is flashing CF-root again, but that seems dangerous if there might be a better way.
Thanks!
I rooted my phone last night and installed Cyanogenmod 10. I had it working fine, but my contacts weren't loading. I tried to restore data from the recovery I had in CWM, but when I restarted my phone it's stuck at the splash screen now. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes directly into the samsung recovery instead of CWM.
I'm not really sure what I should try next, as I can't get into Cyanogenmod or CWM. Any ideas?
Use Odin and flash CWM recovery again. If necessary re-flash CM as well. Should work.

So i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit sgh-t559n and installed CMW Based Recovery and oped the recovery mode, then before i decided to install any roms i Tried to go back to the normal screen and when i selected reboot it just turned off and came back to CMW, And if it's relevent I have CMW Based Recovery Version 6.0.3.6 and there is a warning that says Warning: No file_context. So Bottom line every time i try to get out of reboot recovery mode i just get sent back to it. Thank you in advance.
So I was trying to downgrade twrp since it was showing my data partition size incorrectly. I flashed a 2.6 version, went into kk killer then select reboot into recovery. I guess the flash either failed or that version isn't supported.
Anyway, I am stuck in a bootloop where the phone is trying to boot into recovery and it won't load recovery. Is this thing bricked? It would probably boot into the rom, but I can't stop it from trying to boot into recovery.
I did search and couldn't find anything useful about a recovery bootloop.
:: Delete this thread... found out how to get into odin. Gotta be quick after a battery pull.
I can't seem to boot to recovery and I cant go to OS bc it doesnt have one.
Here is full story:
I wiped /system and /data
Tried to install an updated rom
Phone denies the ROM
Decided to update the recovery as well
Rebooted to recovery
Nothing happened
Probably bc I flashed it via zip, not .tar
Went to Odin or download mode
Tried to install rom
Didn't work (dm-verity issue or something)
Tried to install recovery via odin
Rebooted itself
Boots to Samsung logo
Can't go to recovery
Can't go to os
Only way is odin
Also before it booted to logo
There's a charging symbol which won't go away
I was thinking maybe a custom rom that can be flashable using odin would work?
but i couldnt find any
