some time ago i rooted my galaxy ace and tried to install the clockworkmod for backup. i understood that i need to reboot to stock recovery mode to install it but i couldnt find the option to install clockworkmod by selecting the file so i chose to rename the clockworkmod file into update.zip and updated in the stock recovery mode. after that i couldnt get back into recovery mode again when i pressed power+home button
awhile ago, i accidentally pressed reboot to recovery in CWM and my phone is stuck at the samsung boot screen ever since then. any help?
Does you're phone keep booting into cwm recovery? ?

Have you tried flashing with Odin?

it doesnt keep booting, it just stays at the samsung screen. odin doesnt work. probably cause im not sure how it works.
to put it more accurately, once i renamed the clockworkmod zip file into update.zip and update thru stock recovery, i couldnt access both the cwm or stock recovery screen.
It's because u applied the clockworkmod as update.zip in a 2.2 recovery and after that u can no longer enter Recovery and when u choose "Reboot to Recovery" in CWM the phone just stuck in boot logo forever.
Solution: Download Odin and lastest stock 2.3 rom, Volum down + Home + Power and flash the rom though USB.
u can now enter the system and recovery again but everything will be lost.

Hey guys did the superoneclick root and i flashed clockwork mod, went into recovery the signature failed...but weird thing the power button doesn't select anything in recovery then when i pull the batt, and turn it on it goes right back into recover...almost like a boot loop any ideas?
Use heimdall or odin, flash recovery with that, boot straight into recovery where you have your rom of choice waiting as well as non stock kernel. Easiest and fastest way to get up and running

Hello XDA community , my name is Ethan. I was able to root my s amsung galaxy S today , using the method of the "modified 3e recovry method" my phone successfully rooted.

did you pick vibrant when you flashed clockwork with rom manager ??
In order to get into Clockwork, you have to have Clockwork in your internal memory.
Go into the market and install the app ROM Manager. At the top of ROM Manager, there will be a button that says Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Press that and select your phone. Once that finishes, press the button under that, that says "Reboot into Recovery".
If it's your first time going into recovery, then it's going to popup with the stock recovery screen. Once you get to the stock recovery screen, select "Reinstall Packages" and select it with the power button. Now, my memory is a little fuzzy, but it should either take you directly back to the recovery screen, or reboot into the recovery screen, but either way, once it goes back to that same screen, select Reinstall packages again, and it should take you to the Clockwork Recovery.
EDIT: Oh, I just remembered this also. If you still have the update.zip in your internal memory, ROM Manager won't overwrite it. You have to plug your phone in to your computer, delete the update.zip, then go back into ROM Manager and reflash ClockworkMod Recovery. Then continue with what I said above.
(The update.zip that's in your memory right now is the update you applied to root your phone, just so you know. It's not required anymore.)

GRAB THIS STUFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
then after that go here and downoad the update package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
u wanna download the eclair method of root update package.
then install that on ur internal sd card and go into recovery it should be blue, now click to reinstall packages u should have to do once or twice usually twice. After that it will trun green.
Then go into rom manager and as he said above flash clockwork recovery click vibrant. After that is done u will have clockwork and root access and able to flash any rom
I started using odin before I ever even properly updated to 2.2.... however I do remember having issues like this on a Captivate that was 2.2, I remember that you for sure have to "reinstall packages" twice after flashing CWM. after that you shouldn't have to do it again.....

HELP! galaxy s3 boot loop can't restart, can't get to recovery mode but i can get into download mode!
It started first when i went to rom manager and wanted to reboot into cwm instead of restarting because of my laziness and by mistake i clicked on twrp to reboot into it but i don't have twrp installed .I only have cwm then it goes into boot loop.
I've tried
1)replace battery for many times(automatically goes to boot loop when replace).
2)tried to go to recovery mode(Cwm recovery) it shows "Clockworkmod" logo for a sec and continue boot loop.
.
So i don't really know what to do right now ... Should i install a new fiemware?Please tell me what to do:'(

I flashed NightmareROM. I found myself do not like it. I decided to flash ArchiDroid (AOSP ROM). I found it required Philz recovery. I flashed it through recovery (CWM). I rebooted to make sure everything is OK. After making Nandroid backup, found myself cannot boot into recovery and cannot boot into download mode after factory reset., but I can boot to system normally. I installed CM installer. It detected my phone, and I was able to boot into download and recovery mode. I can boot into download mode normally. I flashed the latest version of Philz Touch Recovery through Odin. When I want to boot into recovery mode, by pressing the combination, I find myself rebooting normally. When I press the combination, then pressing home + up only after the first reboot, I can boot into recovery. Is there any problem? I did not try to flash something
Change to stock cwm or twrp and test. I'm guessing a recovery problem as I've had this in the past with philz.

Someone flashed it, and he said there is no problem. Could be there is a problem with bootloader?
Bootloader won't be the problem. I use cwm6.0.4.4 and flash any ROM any firmware without issue. Philz is only a recommendations not a must In any ROM/firmware
Flashd TWRP, still having the same problem

Use one of the many apps on Playstore to boot into recovery or use adb. I know PhilZ sometimes can be a bit awkward to get into recovery but the others should be fine.Have you also tried going back to stock and starting again this may solve your problem.
Download and flash cwm 6.0.4.4
Can't help with something I don't use 'twrp'
Question.. Can you boot into recovery or download mode? If not mobile Odin.
And..what ROM are you running now? Are you rooted?

I can boot into download mode normally. I can boot into recovery mode, but I have to press up + home + power, the phone will boot into recovery, but in less than 1 sec it reboot, so I have to press up + home only
That's normal to hold the three button combo or it WONT enter recovery or download mode. Holding the power button alone will just reboot the device as you can see.

hey i have ruined my s3 volume + button now i can only boot odin mode with USB jig emulator , is it possible to boot recovery using odin flashable file ?! Help please !!i've tryed everything nothing works "couldnt find any flashable file for I9300 to boot recovery" i have bootloop caused from installing stock rom on it "stuck in samsung blue logo"
edit : solved it by creating a flashable file by combining cache.img from cf-root and recovery.img to boot recovery from odin , i have uploaded the file for people have the same issue like me
You'll have to replace the buttons..
There must be a way to boot recovery from odin , i had a siyah kernel file before for my s2 that boot to cwm
The s2 isn't the s3. There is no way to boot to recovery or download mode via odin. There is no way to boot into anything without one or the other of those 2. Bootloop is bootloop.
Vol- will get to download mode while vol+ does recovery.
If you had access to recovery you can use adb. If you had access to download mode you can use fastboot. If you have access to neither the cant can't do jack without a xtclip or similar expensive hardware.
I can boot to recovery using fastboot or at least clear data ? What exactly i can do using fastboot i can boot to download mode .. , i just need to clear data to get out of bootloop or at least a flashable file to clear data ...
well i have fixed it by combining two files in one tar file flashable to boot into recovery
