Well it appears I had a bad flash with cm10 and the inverted gapps. I tried holding down volume up home and power to boot into recovery but it just tries to boot into the phone. I also tried volume down home and power same thing. I finally tried volume up volume down and power and still booted into the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
Did you let the buttons go as soon as the phone vibrates?

Are you able to boot into ODIN download mode? If so, you can flash CWM and then pull the battery after and go straight into recovery.

I wasn't able to do anything without using the toolkit to reboot into recovery. CWM is installed but I can't seem to boot into it. I used rom manager to reflash CWM not sure if it's fixed it yet.
Are you able to boot the phone period? or just into recovery?

Yeah I'm able to boot the phone. I downloaded a different set of gapps now that I'm about to flash. The good thing about CM10 is the extended reboot menu so I'm able to get into CWM from there. I'll post back after the gapps finish downloading (the USB hookup isn't working on this rom yet )
Well I finally got my phone to work but I skill can't boot into recovery when the phone is turned off. Any ideas? ;(

Volume up, Home, Power - when the FIRST Samsung flashes, let go of everything but volume up. Should get you there.

ok i just got an atrix and im aa bit uncertain about booting into CWM. i know on other phones ive had, i had to boot up with volume down and power. i tried that and nothing works, boots up like normal. tried volume up and power to. my bootloader should be unlocked, the boot screen that says motorola dual core says unlocked in the corner. CWM is installed, i flashed gapps, cuz the person i got it from forgot to put them on. any idea on how i can fix this?
(Download Rom Manager & install the cwm from itif your cwm is not working?)
Power + volume down takes you to the options, there you need to scroll down (with volume down) and use volume up for choosing android recovery.

Strange.. Are you keeping volume down pressed until you would have seen the options, you're not letting go before that or so? Is the volume rocker still functioning ok?
Otherwise just try quick boot from the market.

im holding it in until i see the logo, and yes the rocker is working properly. and i know i can boot into recovery by other means while the phone is on but what if i get a bootloop. i wouldnt be able to fix it, unless i had a computer with me so i could use adb to enter recovery

Hold power and volume down, keep holding volume down until you see the word fastboot appear. Then press the volume down button (7 times I think), until you see android recovery, then press the volume up button.
That should do it!

I never see it say fastboot, it just says unlocked up in the corner. All the time, when I'm not even trying to boot to recovery. I'm assuming that means the bootloader iis unlocked. But I do exactly what you guys are saying and I never see fastboot or anything like that

Something must have gotten messed up when you flashed a rom.. I'd say try flashing a fruitcake and start from there.

i dont know what happened but it just started working. i flashed darkside and wanted to try aura.but to download a rom via rom manager it makes you reflash reg. cwm, so i reboot into recovery after its flashed and reflash romracer cwm, and then reboot and flash aura. then i think hey ill try 1 more time and it works now. thanks for all of your help
So I decided to go ahead and root my player. Then I found this custom rom and followed their instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517194
It keeps on bootlooping my device, and even though installed steves kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377771
(which contains CWM) I cannot boot CWM recovery from boot.
It booted up a few times in CWM recovery, but now it doesnt want to. Since then ive tryed flashing steves kernal sveral times to see if I can get it to work. It hasn't.
I really just want to get my device back to stock, I have a stock rom but it still gets stuck in a bootloop.
Help!

I figued out how to get into recovery mode (power button + hold up volume). Now to figure out how to fix the bootloop....(I tried followign th instructions here but to no avail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596)
FIXED
OK i managed to fix my own problem. I installed steves kernel, cleared the cash and the dalvik-cache. Then I flashed the stock rom and wiped all data(reset the factory settings) and then cleared the cashe.
Then my device booted up properly. :good:
Glad to hear you fixed it

You get into Clockwork mod by turning off the device. Then Hold power, Volume up, and the settings (the one to the left of the home button) at the same time. Sometimes you have to let go when the samsung logo appears and then hold it again

could you give more incorrect info, the CORRECT steps for entering CWM (or stock if not using a custom kernel) is to power device completely off, wait for the vibrate to indicate shutdown. Then press and hold volume up and the power button, once the samsung logo comes on release only the power button, do not release the volume up, continue holding volume up until CWM loads.

On my 4.0 US I don't hold the volume any longer than the power button to get into CWM--i.e., I let both go at the samsung logo, and it goes in.

That's how I always entered CWM or the stock one lol. It works for me. Also another way I did it was wait until the samsung logo appears and then hold power + volume up at the same time. I didn't let go of either the power button or volume up button, and just waited for it to come on.
Next time for a better result Go to a stock rom and Flash a kernel with odin. best way to Install CWM perfectly.
like Terra Silet, i have Gplayer 4 and Rooted This Kernel One Milion time
Hey everyone, my S4 is running TWRP and it was fine until just now...it keeps freezing when I boot into recovery in which I have to do a battery pull...on top of that, when I pull the battery and put it back in, I'll power it on and it will automatically boot into recovery without me doing anything! Idk what to do, should I have used CWM instead? This is a never ending loop cycle now! Please help!

You can end the cycle by booting into download mode. After you pull your battery and reinsert it, hold volume down + power button then just cancel when it asks if you want to boot into download mode.

Same EXACT problem here. Tried to install the new TWRP 2.6.3.1 to prep for a 4.3 ROM install. TWRP suggest a goo install .The Goo install ran through, goo was back to it's main menu and i hit reboot recovery, but still had 2.6.0. So, I renamed the 2.6.3.1 img and put it in the BHP090808_I545_ALL_IN_ONE_TOOL all in one dir, then flashed it through that. Went fine, odined it in, then rebooted into recovery like usual..... Except, recovery never comes up. it just sits there with the Recovery Booting.... thing and Samsung custom screen FOREVER! I tried to use all in one tool to reflash 2.6.0 and it fails becasue odin doesn't see the phone, even thought it's sitting on the booting recovery screen. Tried button hold to get into download, same problems, I get the vol up prompt, hit vol up, get the d/l mode screen for 1-3 secs and then it just reboots itself - into recovery booting screen if i don't try d/l mode,.And odin doesn't see it while the d/l mode vol up msg or d/l active screen is up. Only way to stop bootloops temporarily is batt pull.
So to summarize, recovery bootloop but never gets to recovery, adb can't connect, odin doesn't see the phone at ANY time, during recovery booting, d/l mode confirm screen, or short time of d/l mode screen itself, and I have no tarball to odin a twrp recovery in even if i could get odin going b/c they only offer img files now. Oh, and Kies doesn't even see the phone due to mods. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Also, after batt pull, phone sits with blank screen even when on charger/usb and i get a vibrate every 3 seconds continuously.
:crying:
Suggestions?
I545 loki'd, TWRP (read post), HyperDrive 9.1 MDK (which I'd like to keep at nearly any cost)
TIA, for all your conisderation and previous, current, and future help! :good:

This. Flashify is a really good app to use for flashing twrp and will even download for you.
But how are you supposed to use flashify if you're stuck in a boot loop.
twrp keeps booting into recovery mode, I can't get it to just load up my phone OS (CM12)

I know this is a ghost thread, but my wife still uses an S4 and somehow it got into the configuration where it would only boot into recovery mode. This trick worked, in fact, I didn't even get the question about booting into download mode; it just booted normally.
I installed CM10.1.3 with CyanogenMod Installer today. It was working fine but I had the APN issue and thought of flashing again.
So I downloaded the stable version from (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=i9100)
I could not boot via the combo even when the phone was working fine. I downloaded Goo Manager and rebooted from recovery from there and installed the downloaded CM10.1.3 from there! after that the phone is stuck at loading CM10.1.3 loading screen! No bootloop! Just endless loading!
What can I do? Please tell me! How to fix this?

When you plug your phone into your pc can you see the sd card and files whilst stuck in your 'non boot loop' ?
Why doesn't your 3 button combo work? - I had similar issue with my wifes phone recently and the other night to my surprise it worked all of a sudden, I just had to hold the buttons for far longer than I do on my own s2

Glad that I fixed CM! It's booting and working like a champ! but the recovery thing is still a paint! Boots to recovery easily from advanced reboot optioN!

I just press them all at the same time really - although, I have to say I really rarely use 3 button combo as I use 'quickboot' from google play which gives 3 shortcuts to instantly either: reboot, power off, or reboot into recovery.
As for your issue with the 3 button combo - more likely hardware related or (if you are anything like me) lack of patience lol
Having the same like you. When i hold the button combo the samsung logo comes up, phone turns off, again the samsung logo and then the recovery starts. You have to hold the button combo the whole time.

So how did you install the 4.1.3 after this?
I had the phone on the newest PAC-MAN nightly, and I rebooted to my recovery (CWM 6.0.4.4) and flashed another recovery (TWRP 2.7.1) However, after I flashed it and went to reboot to recovery, it would not boot, simply vibrate until the first Samsung sign flashes, and then reboots. I cannot reboot into recovery, and trying to put it into download mode just does the same thing. Is there any way to someone force it into download mode so I can flash stock or anything? Thanks so much
I believe it's Volume up + Power to get it straight to download mode.
Your power button is stuck so it keeps resetting. Try flicking the back of your phone by the power button with your finger.
