After a successful root of my first SGS3, I got a replacement due to hardware issues. I went to use the same method of root I used before, but it wont load clockworkmod. Odin says the update was successful, and everything is gravy. It reboots, and I turn it off and go to load recovery, but it just loads the factory recovery screen. I've tried 3 times now. What's going on?

I flashed CM7 last night, loaded GAPPS, and the market was updating my apps, when I noticed none of the apps were updating. updates were all failing. I went into recovery and restored BAMF 1.5 remix. Now I have a problem. I can not download or update anything from the Market, all attempts fail. I cannot access CW recovery, the HTC white screen is as far as I get. I deleted rom manager, and tried to access CW recovery and still failed. I tried to do a factory reset, and still only get white HTC screen. Tbolt is functioning, I just can't fix my issue. Please help. Thanks.
You can't get in CW recovery or stock recovery?

Did you try reflashing CW through ROM Manager?
Yep. very strange. I even tried to wipe the phone with factory reset, and just get stuck on white HTC screen. I had deleted rom manager because of something else I read, and can't get it back, But I can't even get to recovery from bootloader.
You can get to recovery through the bootloader by shutting off the phone and turning it back on holding down the volume button and pressing power toggle down to the recovery option and press the power button

Actually I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to help Orio out and we attempted a quite a few things to try and fix the recovery issue, this post should offer a bit more insight to the methods used;
adb reboot recovery failed
Reinstall latest Rom Manager apk and Flash CWM
flash latest rom manager via fastboot (CWM only)
(fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.5.img)
**did not do fastboot erase recovery first**
"return to stock safely and properly" XDAthread by jcase
return to stock image [RUU], reroot, try again
try to boot into recovery via hboot
manually installed fix_permissions.sh script and busybox on rooted stock, ran.. didnt fix
tried to see if flash_image method would work, didn't
All of the above have failed and we basically tried almost all combinations. Never once would this phone get back into recovery, even after flashing the appropriate RUUs which include either stock android or CWM recovery. The only thing we have not currently attempted which might be the last thing left is to do is manually install the nandroid.sh script and do an advanced restore of the recovery image only from a nandroid backup on SD. I would rather not go down this method as it could have an undesired result, I have done it to restore a G1 back in the day but not 100% if its gonna work on a tbolt. Thankfully his phone boots, and we can get into hboot, but yea.. pretend recovery just doesnt exist at all...
Curious if anyone has any knowledge above what we have already tried.
SUCCESS !!!
I fixed it !
Apparently, when I loaded up cm7, files showed up about the same time on my sdcard in clockworkmod download file. I deleted those files, and reflashed clockworkmod in rom manager, (which this time took like 3 - 4 minutes), and rebooted into recovery and it worked...did it again, just in case it was a fluke and it worked.
All is well now...the planets are realigned !!!
Thanks everyone for your ideas and especially thanks to mattgyver83 who helped me for something like 4 hours yesterday. Exceptional kindness !!
mods...you can close this thread.
I have a rooted GT 10.1 LTE with the EH04 update. I have tried flashing via CWM which results in the obvious breakage. I have also tried installing via Recovery and Odin with the attached files and in various combinations with no luck.
Any suggestions or ideas on what I am mucking up to not be able to get CWM only my tablet?
To note: It was working prior to the EH04 update.
Bump.
Any ideas?
try the cwm here:

to a certain degree it is a lot of trial and error as to what parts of the various 10.1 models are common and which are distinct -- at this juncture what is to loose from flashing a different cwm?
Try this recovery ( flash zip)

Then try this rom

I unrooted to get the EH04 updated using this: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7718-romleakodineg01-factory-stock-odin-image-vzw-lte-tab-101/ , waited for the EH04 update, then re-rooted using this (which I used to root initially): http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2242-root-recovery-galaxy-tab-101-lte/ .
Perhaps you should unroot per the above, take the update, then re-root as above--worked for me.
i ota'd EH04, lost root. downloaded kernel.zip, applied it, got root back, installed cwmod, clicked to reboot into recovery and it's looping since, i can't do anything but get into ODIN but the PC wont recognize it, although i get a pop up saying android.. installed, adb devices doesn't pick up either. can't get into recovery.

someone warned in the forums and i didn't read it before i did it, used odin to put recovery.zip, now i'm back in action.
The recovery you provided is the same that I attached. What I discovered however is that if I booted into recovery right after installing the CWM recovery, CWM would load. If I booted into stock EH04 then back into recovery, the stock recovery would load. It seems as if the ROM was restoring stock recovery when it loaded. After installing Lightspeed, CWM recovery stayed in place.
Either way, thank you for the assistance. I hope this thread ends up helping someone else.
My steps to install Lightspeed from Stock ROM EH04:
1. reboot recovery, install either recovery.zips above.
2. When the system automatically reboots, hold volume up to boot into recovery again. This time it should be CWM.
3. Wipe cache and factory reset
4. Install Lightspeed ROM

Thank you. Everytime I tried flashing cwm recovery, I would always end up back at stock recovery. Your fix worked perfect.
Installed CWM and rooted my phone tonight, everything went well. I have a canadian sgh-i527m. I took a backup through cwm and tried to install cyanogenmod and it failed. I don't recall the error....tried two other and both both failed as well. Now I can reboot and get into recovery but when i try and restart the phone, it just reboots itself a couple times and goes back to recovery on its own.
I I tried restoring the backup and says it's successful, but then it hangs at the glowing samsung screen. I wiped the cache and device and can only get to recovery. I'm downloading the stock os for bell and will install that through odin in the morning, but can anyone help with what i'm doing wrong? I never had any issues installing many roms to my note II.
So I'm having a bit of an issue flashing a recovery on my NH7 4.4.4 HLTESPR Note 3. I've had it rooted/ROM'd for a few months now without any issues. I used my upgrade to buy an LG G3 for $1 and gave it to someone else, and when they did this, they had to deactivate my Note and activate the G3 for the upgrade to apply. After that, they reactivated my Note 3. I was getting data connection at Best Buy immediately after, but later that night I noticed I had completely lost data connectivity so I went into TWRP, made a backup, and reflashed to a stock/rooted recovery I had made prior so that I could access the profile and PRL updates.
I applied the updates and reestablished data connection. Then I tried to boot into recovery from TWRP to revert to my ROM. No go. I try it with the button method - no go. Then I went to Root Checker and it told me my device no longer had root access. Super User still installed but root was gone. So then I ran it through CF-auto-root again, and tried to flash TWRP from the TWRP manager a few times but it crashed each time. Then I tried to use Flashify to flash TWRP from my SD card. Seemed to work, so I used TWRP manager to reboot into recovery and it went into a boot loop. Odin'd back to NH7 and retried the whole process. Now even when I flash TWRP from odin, I go into TWRP Manager and it doesn't detect a recovery. I've tried a few different versions of TWRP and used Odin, TWRP manager, and Flashify to try and flash a recovery but it just doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what's going on. I've been doing basic rooting/ROM flashing for a few years now, and I'm pretty comfortable with Samsung devices but this is unlike anything I've encountered. Anything will help! Thanks

Have you tried a full revertin? Stock everything including recovery and starting over with the root process?
Have you figured it out if not i can help pm me .
Stock SCH-i605 (think it was nd7) was working fine, then just quit without provocation and now sticks on logo screen.
Can get to download mode and stock recovery. Stock recovery shows E: failed to mount /system (no such file or device), etc, etc. Factory reset shows more errors like that.
Everything I have tried ends up in the same condition noted above. I have tried:
ODIN flash - every stock and custom rom I can find. They pass, but then same stuck at logo screen on boot. Even tried some custom recoveries, but since it's not rooted, no go.
ODIN flashed sch-i605.pit.
Verizon repair assistant - it completes and says successful, but condition remains the same. Repeat and rinse, many times.
Any ideas?
I'm wondering if the built in memory is screwed. Can't think of anything else. If that was the case though, ODIN and VZW repair wouldn't write anything surely?
I have 2 other SCH-i605. One stock, one rooted custom rom, if that's of any help. I got the VZW assistant from the stock one.
