The RAZR guys came up with a handy feature called CWM on boot, it basically allows ur phone to boot into CWM every time it boots up. Why would you want to do that? Lets say you flash something to your phone and it results in a bootloop, upon the reboot it would go right into CWM where you could simply restore your nandroid until you can figure out the cause of the problem. You dont need to leave it active at all times though, you can activate it when you're getting ready to flash something and then deactivate it once you confirm what you flashed is fine.
Think it would be possible to do this on the GS3 and if so how many of you would be interested in such a feature?

Nobody wants CWM on boot?
I suppose it could be somewhat useful, but if one gets into a reboot loop, one could just force a shutdown, or pull the battery worst case scenario, the boot with the home and volume up buttons pressed to go into recovery. One less thing to set before and after flashing that way, and nothing new or additional to do.

I hear you...but with CWM on boot it would automatically go into CWM in the event of a bootloop.

It's not hard to boot into recovery if your phone is stuck in a bootloop?

Nope. Pull battery and then boot phone by holding volume down(it is either volume up or down. I think up is download mode. New to samsung so i dont have it all memorized yet) while holding the home button and power. Boots right into recovery.

Actually this is not such a great thing.
Just this morning I realized that my other phone (evo shift 4g) was not fully plugged in overnight and did not charge. In fact the battery drained completely.
Here lies the problem: when I plugged in the charger cable it booted into recovery mode and this would not allow the battery to charge. I couldn't shut the phone off because as soon as charge was applied through cable it would boot into recovery.
I don't know if this is device specific or not, but if it weren't for someone else at work with same battery, I would have had to purge my boot partition just to charge, and hopefully been able to restore it afterwards.
So unless this is addressed and something like a power check is done at boot, I will never return to using this recovery. (First thing I did when I got home was to replace recovery)

CWM is beyond well known for having charging issues.
On the rezound with CWM if you let your phone die, you couldnt recharge it. You had to charge your battery in another phone just to be able to boot to charge.

Howdy,
I'm stuck in a boot loop, searching the forum for a similar problem has yielded no result applicable to my situation.
I'm running CM10 and using TWRP (latest I think) and I'm S-OFF. Ive been running cm10 for about a month and have had no problems. This morning I woke up and checked my emails and texts then put my phone in my pocket. When I took it out about an hour later, the power button wouldn't wake my screen but it would light up the capacitive buttons. To try to fix, I did a hard reset (power button 10+ seconds) and now my phone won't boot or show anything on the screen, it just vibrates over and over.(about 10 seconds between vibrations) I also am unable to do another hard reset (the buttons wont's flash or anything). I've tried to get into bootloader and recovery and I can't get into either.
Also, I plugged it into my computer, and the charging light isn't on. According to om4's thread, I think I might have a corrupt kernel? But i don't know how that would be possible since I haven't flashed anything new for a month or so and I havent had any problems previously.
I'm familiar with adb and fastboot. But since I can't hard reset again, i'm not sure how to get into bootloader. Any ideas?

Have you tried charging it to see if the charge light comes on?
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Wait....
So does the phone turn on to get adb support?
If you have adb you can reboot into the recovery.....adb reboot recovery
If still no see if you can run a ruu.exe for your device....this will restore your device to factory configuration.
If your phone doesnt even boot or anything thats not good really.

It's going through the same steps with the back cover off. Either no vibrating or continuous vibrating and no charge light. Screen is still blank.
EDIT: Does this seem like a problem with the kernel? or is it impossible to say. Is it worth trying to exchange the unit itself at best-buy
I appreciate your speedy replies.
If you don't have anything important on your phone I would definitely take it back to best buy. It's hard to say what it could be but if you were running fine then it all of a sudden happened with no changes I would doubt it would be the kernel

Appreciate your help. The sprint store is going to replace it for me. They couldn't get it to boot into anything either. Must be a weird hardware issue?
Today i decided to try out the nocturnal rom, but before that i had to make a backup. at the the time the phone was what i would a call luke warm so i paid no mind to it. so a few minutes later i look back at the phone and notice that the screen turned off annd the phone was now averagely hot
so i let it cool down for a bit (i thought that the phone must have shut itself off in order to make sure the internals wouldn't be damaged), then when i try to turn it on the lg logo does show up but never gets to the base roms nexus boot animation, now i'm thinking that TWRP must have drained my battery because when i usually make a backup my battery can go from 94% to 50% in a span of 7 minutes (only during backup). So i leave it to charge for 30 minutes 1 hour and then 5 hours but each time i check it still won't turn on correctly.
Now i have had this happen to me before, when i had the atrix 4g this happened and i had to buy a battery only charger to even get it to work again
but as we all know that won't work for the optimus g because you cannot take out the battery.
so i have to ask, what should i do? is there any way to fix this?
Side note: can't get into recovery (seems to shut off before it loads up, its like an infinite loop of dying and turning on again) the power button still glows while its connected giving the appearance of charging but it still never boots up all the way ( the most i can get it to is the part of recovery before going into TWRP. you know holding vol+ and seeing fastboot mode)
There is thread here someone made of disassembly. You can do a battery pull pretty easily. Never know might help.
Have you tried download mode at all BTW?
Sounds more like something was deleted then a batter problem to me. If download mode works you could try lgnpst back to stock.
The information in THIS thread might be able to help.
I can't vouch for it because I haven't experienced these problems, but the OP there seemed to get his problem fixed.
GL.
Although, looking things over, sounds like you have a different issue.
So you can get to the bootloader?
from the bootloader have you tried hitting the volume down key twice then hitting power?
That should reboot you into recovery, where you can restore something or flash stock.
Edit. Quote from FreeGee post.
To enter bootloader, hold volume UP and power.
Upon entering the bootloader, you will notice that there is no 'menu' to enter fastboot or recovery. Unfortunately, since the stars didn't align properly, we were unable to tell the new bootloader where to load the images that contain the menu from.
In light of that, you'll have to navigate the menu blind. Use the volume keys to change selection, and the power key to select.
The choices are (in order of pressing volume down):
Start - boot the phone normally [already selected]
Restart Bootloader - reboot into the bootloader
Recovery Mode - enter recovery (CWM)
Power Off - powers the phone off
So, to get to Recovery, you would press volume down twice then power.

when i try to get into TWRP it doesnt start up, same as when it trys to turn on, it seems to die before it boots fully or so to say the screen
goes from a backlit black to just black and then it doesn't come on again. (looking at thread and nothing has worked yet i'm now trying last advice in thread since my phone won't even turn on unless its connected to the charger)
also i have no idea what download mode is but since nothing seems to be working i will assume that does not work either
Edit: actually maybe i can lgnpst. all i have to do is be able to get into the bootloader right? going to try in the afternoon.

Amazon is actually VERY easy to deal with, and a HELL of a lot easier than AT&T. They'll ship you out a replacement, you send the old one back once you receive the new one. Done. You MAY have to send the old one first, but if you let them put a hold on a credit card, I believe they'll definitely ship first.
You may be able to fix this by holding down both the volume down and power buttons for at least 45 seconds after you plug in the phone.
so
STEP 1: PLUG IN PHONE
STEP 2: PRESS AND HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN AND POWER KEYS TOGETHER FOR AT LEAST 45 SECONDS
STEP 3: LEAVE PLUGGED IN FOR TEN MINUTES
STEP 4; BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE, WIPE BATTERY STATS, WIPE CACHE, AND WIPE DALVIK, THEN REBOOT TO SYSTEM FROM WITHIN RECOVERY.
LAST PART IS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.
I've gone the three of these for various reasons and some times lgnpst pretends to work and you need to do it again. And some times you need to wipe data boot back into download and do it again. This phone is retarded.
Hello everyone,
I had my phone running CM9 running on my GS2 for a few months. Today I decided that I'd do a factory reset and reinstall the rom since I had a few small issues with the email and such. So I booted into recovery mode and wiped everything. Installed CM9. Then I decided to also try installing Siyah Kernel. So I also installed that via CWM and then I got a "Install successful" screen so I rebooted. But then my phone wouldn't boot. I tried booting into recovery and download modes also, but all that happens is the buttons on the bottom light up, the Galaxy S II splash screen shows up, and then the phone shuts off. When I plug it into my computer I get the battery with loading circle, then the green charging battery, and then it shuts off. Then if I turn it on again it just shows the GS2 splash screen and then shuts off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is possible, but from what I remember from when it worked, when the battery was dead it wouldn't have green except up to the point to which it was charger. And I don't recall it being low when I started this whole fiasco. I think it was at ~80%.
I would make sure the phone is off then charge it for about an hour. If it doesn't come on then we can look at other steps.

Okay. I charged it for an hour and the only difference is that now the battery is completely green when I first boot it after I plug it into the wall charger. I have had battery problems with this phone before, but this is unlike what I saw before in that the screen doesn't flicker right before it shuts down and I still believe that it is something I did when I installed the new Kernel. What do you suggest now?
Go to recovery and flash another kernel or download the same again...
Or flash your very same ROM over it.
What version did you flashed?
Look its not bricked, just check your files.

My phone boots up for 5 seconds to the samsung screen and then it shuts off. I can not get into recovery. I tried going into download mode,but when it enters download mode approx 5 sec and then it shuts off not enough time for odin to run. My battery is fully charge. What should I do?:crying:

Could possibly be the power button is stuck. Happens sometimes.
And since it Powers up ... It is not bricked.

Last night i flashed Xylon 2.5 unOfficial Rom for quincyatt from ManelScott4Life off his site and then i flashed the recent 4Ace kernel and it was working perfectly for I used it for a couple hour before going to sleep. As I was listening to music on the way to school. It shut off and until now i need to take battery out n put back in order for it to boot for 5 seconds n shuts off again
Odd....But I still would not rule out a stuck button.
If you have a good backup that you can restore, you might could try a wipe and reflash of that backup.
The real test will be if you can boot into your recovery and it stays there. If it does not, then the problem leans toward a button issue again.
And of course, the battery could also be causing trouble. We have had failed batteries act the same as you describe. If you have a spare, try it. If not, plug the device into AC power and attempt the boot into recovery.
Either way, if the phone stays in recovery, you have a battery issue, or corrupted rom...g

How did you clean out your button? I have the EXACT same symptoms, but my rubber buttons in the case, and white power button appears to be clean. I can hear the button itself make contact. I can't get to recovery mode, but I can hit download mode for 5 seconds.
leaving the casing of the phone removed, I have the same exact symptoms so it Has to be the button itself... *shrug
the button gets stuck even when you still hear/feel it clicking. open the phone and blast it with duster. Press and depress the button rapidly many times till it frees internally

Stupid suggestion, but try plugging the phone in to charge. I had some odd things happen to my phone where it would try to boot and continue to shut down. I knew I had charge on the battery, but when i plugged in the phone to the wall adapter, it acted like the battery did not have any power left. Once charged enough to boot, the phone would work fine.
