Stock : go in recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset and cache, reboot
Custom: go to recovery and restore a working recovery or flash a new rom and boot up

Hope you made a backup, restore that in recovery. If not reflash the rom but first wipe cache and dalvik cache

Thanks..
All sorted.....Odin to the rescue as I couldn't get into recovery.
Thanks for the prompt replies though.....teach me to leave well alone !

[Q] Stuck on Android recovery system

Okay so I am stuck on the recovery screen. I have rebooted several times and I have ended up in the same place. I also chose wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Some one help
ya know, some steps of what you have done before hand will probably help, what rom did you have, what have you done etc etc,
So either you have sticky buttons or your gonna need to re-flash a rom, but as we dont know wether you mean recovery or cwm recovery this post is about as much help as a chocolate fire-guard in all honesty,
If you are on CWM download a connect your phone up via mounts and storage put the rom on your phone and install it via zip,
if your stock by the sounds of it something went bad...... try grabbing a rom from samfirmware and flash it via odin.
usually happens if you format system partition, if you dont have a hardware issue simply flash stock ROM using odin
I already flash stock rom but im still stuck at the android system recovery e3
Download mode and flash a stock rom . Boot it to run and let it set up .
jje
Is Kernel_I9100DXKL3.tar.md5 a stock rom sorry im noob
No its a KERNEL .
jje
Example of stock rom? GT-I9100_DXKL3_original??? sorry i need you help
If you are on CWM download a connect your phone up via mounts and storage put the rom on your phone and install it via zip,
This option is there in CWM but we cant mount it, I tried many times...
So it is always a good idea to keep your running custom ROM zip file on your SDcard undeleted, to flash on the emergency even while you are on the go...
yesturday only my son fingured my phone and got non stop FC...just flashed ROM again but bootloop, flashed again after Factory Reset...worked.

which CWM???, once you successfully flash a stock rom from ODIN, then you will get only stock recovery...what happens after flashing automatically reboot to Recovery?????
Yup i got the Android system recovery e3 now, now im stuck there
more information you give more you will get help,
we cant help with least information,
Try to flash cwm or siyah in recovery. Then flash some rom and see if that helps

I flash cwm and flash some rom but still stuck on the cwm )):
Can u upload a pic of which recovery mode your on? Your best bet is go to samfirmware download a rom for your country or what ever you want put phone in download mode, install kies on your open task manager make sure kies isnt running grab odin and flash the stock rom,

I am in the same situation, stuck on the CWM Android system recovery screen. My Kernel is fine, I entered it not realizing I couldn't get out because my home button hasn't worked in over a year. I've tried resetting with the power button, and the power button + down key, but it always comes back to this screen. All I need to do is select the "reboot system now" button but without a Home Key I can't select it. Any way around this?

There is tar ball you have to flash in Odin before switching back to froyo... It's called downgrage.tar..
I will upload it if i find it ..
EDIT : I found it!!!!!
And the link is posted
downgrade file
This is not needed anymore!! You should do all wipes from the Recovery and then flash through Odin..
{ brvsn ~ CM9 on GT-I5500 ~ Tapatalk2 }
Yep like he seid,
I just flash mine and it came up with the rom recovery before finishing the flash and i forgot the wipe it and just restarted it and it just kept looping the samsung logo,so I flashed it again and when the recovery came up again I wiped it all(cache and all) and it worked..;D
With my rom the recovery comes up sa its flashing it so it starts to copy the rom over the boots the recovery then you can wipe it then restart and then it boots the rom..
My rom is:
SAMSUNG_GALAXY_I5500XWJP4_BB_ORIGNAL_ROM_V2.2.tar.md5
If anyone wants this rom PM me for it,Its not in english you will have to change it to the one you use.

download the latest version of 4.1.2 of your country from www.sammobile.com. flash it via odin and then factory reset from the stock recovery. you should be able to boot into rom.
OK i m downloading the firmware let me try it
OK i flash stock file with odin, but now my phone is stuck in bootloop.
During this bootloop notification light stays on all time.

"Emergency Calls Only" - SOLVED

EDIT: SOLVED
Fixed it, thanks to Zuluman!
For anyone else with this issue here's how I solved it:
Installed stock i9300 UK (BTU) 4.3 ROM using ODIN
Flashed TWRP recovery with ODIN
Downloaded Patched_XXUGMK6_kernel.zip and Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip:
Zuluman's Files
Installed these via. the TWRP recovery
Wiped data, cache and dalvik cache, rebooted the device and then it should connect
==============================================
Hi,
I'm aware there are a TON of threads similar to this out there but I have tried so many 'solutions' and cannot get anywhere.
I am getting the 'Emegency Calls Only' error on my Galaxy S3 i9300 after trying to use custom ROMs and even the stock ROMs. My IMEI and serial number are correct and I have also tried the ARIZA patch but I still receive the same error.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could help and also if any more info. is required, I'll post it.
Thanks.
Try to find the latest recovery for the device and get the "modem.bin" file out of the Archive and flash it using Odin using the CP or the Phone button.

Purchase Triangle Away from Google Play, reset the counter then you should get the following:
Product Name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
However, I don't know about this method in a custom ROM since it'd be custom, not official stock.
i flash them through a custom recovery , so how i can get it official and zero count !!
Thanks for that!

After flashing through a custom recovery, I think if you might be able to use Triangle Away to set the counter to zero, then extract the recovery.img (or .bin?) from the stock ROM and flash this through ODIN so you'll end up with stock ROM and stock recovery.

thank u very much let me try it
just tried to restore it. still same issue stuck on samsung logo
any other ideas to wat i can do to get it booting
Do you have a Linux machine? Not virtualbox, but real PC running Ubuntu. Because I've unbricked friends i9300 using Heimdall, because i didint need drivers for linux. On VM it wont work, because it's not recognized by Windows, so it cannot be attached to VM You can also try using Ubuntu Live USB or CD
yes i can get a linux not a problem mayb u can giv me how to do it..
thanks alot
Here is a Video tutorial how to use Heimdall. https://youtu.be/6TgyaUbjcm4
BTW, if You go to download mode, do you have proper Mode lNumber? And are there any mount errors in TWRP?
here is the link to to the my download mode on s3
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n01ncdyzo9jpu6k/IMAG0019.jpg?dl=0
Model reads SHV - E218S
no i don get any mount errors as u used USB OTG to transfer the files to the phone.
So, try this
1. Boot to TWRP
2. Wipe System, Data, cahce, dalvik cache, and internal storage
3. Flash back to noot rom http://arter97.com/browse/S3/ROM/back-to-n00t/back-to-n00t_ROM_V9.zip
4. Flash this kernel zip http://arter97.com/browse/S3/kernel/xda/arter97-kernel-5.0.zip
5.Reboot
Hope it works
I think, that you need specific backup of e218s. Try to look for someone who has e218s, root it, install twrp and make backup to sdcard. Insert sdcard into your device and restore it. That will definetly fix a problem. I was not able to find e218s firmware anywhere, so it might be a little bit hard. You can always send device to any phone service and they will flash the firmware for you
sorry i am a little confused now .
should i try the Heimdall methed?
should i download the rom and kernel in above and flash
or should i try looking for the 218s rom
Sorry i miss read it SHV - E210S
Ahh if You have e210s ,it will be easy, just wipe every partition in TWRP, (including sdcard) and flash this file https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de.../CyanogenMod/cm-11-20141122-NIGHTLY-e210s.zip along with these gapps https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473395379 and reboot
I jus downloaded n flased the rom and gapps still same stuck with samsung logo not booting up

There has to be something that was done to make it i9300, because there is a thread here that says that you can convert the e210s korean model into the i9300 international model. I can't find it, but i'll make sure to edit this post and insert the link once i've found it. But I was able to find THIS thread which is for the korean variants of the S3. Get yourself a prerooted firmware from HERE and install it.
EDIT: HERE it is the thread for converting the E210S. WAIT? How did it show i9300? It is supposed to show i9305...
EDIT2: I see. You thought it was an i9300. You screwed the device by flashing an i9300 ROM when it was supposed to be the E210S, i9305's Korean relative. Don't make the same mistake or you will really brick your device. Or it may be already screwed because you installed i9300 recovery? What recovery did you install anyways?
IT IS SO MESSED UP, PLEASE CLARIFY WHAT YOU DID AND WHAT YOU INSTALLED SO WE CAN SEE WHAT YOU DID WRONG.
thanks alot ... i installed the pre rooted rom and it came on .. il try and convert it later
