I've tried to install cwm recovery a few times and it says pass but I can never boot into recovery.

so you have CWM installed?
how are you trying to get into CWM? Power off completely, then hold the Vol's up and down button and power button...til you see the sammy logo then release the power button while still holding the volume button til CWM appears...
I am rooted and i have cwm installed and running ics on it. And i tried to boot into recovery with vol up and power.

Okay ....hold both the volume up "and " volume down ..."and " power .....all together ...but you must start from a powered off condition ,and you must push the volume buttons first ...then the power button ....
Hold until you get a single vibration ...then release the power button .
The phone will then show the Sammy logo and then recovery ...
You can release the volume buttons "after " you see the recovery screen ......g

CWM installed but stock recovery appears
I install CWM recovery via Odin and it was successful. But when I try to boot up my phone to cwm, it boots in to my stock 3e recovery. please help . I'm running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Since you are rooted, use the Quick Boot app to go to recovery from your home screen. Much easier than doing the vol up + vol down + power button thing.

I read that when you have 3e it doesn't allow you to have CWM. I can only access CWM through ROM manager. If I try to get to CWM with power and vol up, I always get into the default android recovery 3e which leads me to ask, how do I downgrade to 2e?

To get to Android recovery you need to press Vol down and power, then go through the fast boot menu by pressing Vol down about 5 times. It should now say Android recovery, press Vol up and it should go into cwm. Works every time for me
Sent from the back of a MoPhoKing AOKP Unicorn
pwr+Vol up gives you rsd protocol or fast boot mode.depending on what state your phone is.. power + volume down gives you a few options starting with fast boot then scroll with vol dwn button and selecting with vol up button. On the photon. OP sounds strange as how he gets to recovery lol

then you don't have CWM installed. grab one of the listed ones from here http://www.motosunfire.com/clockworkmod-recovery/ and then install it via moto-fastboot or from the rom managers recovery. then you're good to go. highly recommended by everyone would be jokers v3 or v4 recovery.

if you have cwm installed on your phone and you goto recovery mode and it brings up the standard android recovery then your recovery will not allow cwm to run on your phone untill you downgrade the android recovery
when you goto recovery at the top you will probably see this android recovery (3) if so you need to download gingerbread and flash it with odin after that you should be good . i had the same problem as you and thats how i fixed it

Hey all
UK I'm running Pa2.13 and flashed siyah 1.6A9 L17 on UK Samsung gti9300 and received update from goomanager for my roM
I downloaded pa v2.13.1 wiped cache./dalvik then flashed the update then I flashed gapps again and then wiped cache again and rebooted my phone. All worked fine but I realised steaks had disappeared off my phone so I decided to re flash the siyah over cwmr (probably my mistake?)
Rebooted my phone and went to Samsung logo and then black screen so I waited 30mins, and nothing still. I went into download mode odin mode by mistake by pressing volume up key. Now my phone in recovery mode and says Downloading do not turn off target? Am I bricked? Also can I put my phone on charge?
Hi!
You are not bricked. Go to download mode and flash a stock firmware. It will bring you back to square one

Thank you I use mobile odin on stock, rooted (doh), i9300 with siyahkernel 1.7 ... i wanted to try out codeworkx latest CM10 on my 2ndROM and installed (cm's) ROM Manager. After installing (ROM Manager) i used it to flash CWM. I started to think "maby read before do" so I read some of chainfires comments on CF-root (which i used preor to installing Mobile Odin Pro) and he said that his CWM isnt compatible with ROM manager. Ok... I flashed a "undo governor tweaks zip" with mob odin and injected SU, Everroot and mobile Odin hoping this would undo any possible damage i had done. Well i wanted to do a ROM backup and thought that was doable in CWM so i rebooted, vol down - home - power, and pressed vol up (maby completely off course there but I ended up with a stuck odin, same as OP. I just did what you said (while it was stuck...) and the phone nicely rebooted and started up normally.
A long post "just" for saying thank you, but I thought it was appropriate that I told (people) what I did and what happened...
Cheers!
Recently got a used Galaxy Note i717,went to install the ICS update but it would not update thriough KIES.Find out the previois owner had rooted it so I just install the stock ICS firmware manually following a guide I foiund.One problem,when I hold down POWER + VOL.UP I dont get tge screen that lets you wipe cache and what not.
Phone seems to be.working fine so far,been using it a couple days but what happens when I want to install a custom rom?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
If you put a custom ROM, it will wipe your device, which you have to, for installing a Custom ROM, and all custom ROMs are rooted btw. And yes I stay away from KIES...
You might of lost recovery when you install the ICS firmware. Here is the Super Thread with all the tools and ROMs.>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
If you are rooted, I would put the latest TWRP here>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
Then just find the custom ROM of your liking and download/install on your device, FTW.
The correct procedure to boot into Recovery is :
Hold power + volume up AND volume down until you feel the phone vibrate THEN release the power button (still holding volume up and down). The phone will then boot into Recovery. It should either be " Clockwork Mod Recovery " or "TWRP". There, you can wipe, install, backup, etc.

Use ODIN to flash the .tar file for the original ics 4.0.4 for at&t if you haven't already.. make sure "repartition" is off.

Its neither, it's stock recovery.
You have to flash a file from your pc to the phone to replace stock recovery with a custom recovery like CWR or TWRP.

I see.I already have Odin installed and used it to flash the stock 4.04 since it would not update from KIES,will installing CWR or TWRP cause any issues?
No, just get in download mode and flash the TWRP odin file (I prefer TWRP over CWR). Reboot and you will go into recovery. Take a few minutes to make a backup of your rom.

It comes down to personal preference really ...
As CWM does a fine job as a recovery. But TWRP has many more features for the user, and seems to provide a much better user experience.
TWRP is clearly better supported, without the common outdated "status 7" errors often found in CWM.
Up to you obviously, but it's TWRP for me ....g
^^^^^ well said, Sarge. I was a CWR user for ten phones and tablets, but I tried TWRP on this phone. Its the bomb-diggity.
Hi everyone,
I'm having a hard time booting into TWRP after a full shutdown of my phone. If I restart the phone and hold the volume up button, everything works fine, but if I go from a fully powered off state and hold the home, power and volume up buttons I will see the blue text show up at the top that the recovery is booting, then the screen will just go black and not do anything for a few seconds before vibrating and doing a normal reboot.
I rooted and installed TWRP using bhp090808's tool here.

I'm am currently still using the stock ROM and I want to get this worked out before I flash a custom.
Thanks.
When rebooting into recovery manually, hold the volume up, home and power buttons. When the phone vibrates, release the power button while continuing to hold the home and volume up buttons. That's the correct manual way to get into recovery.

Having the same issue. Not sure how to resolve, I know with GS3 you can flash recovery VIA ODIN but I obviously didn't want do do the GS3 Clockwork Mod recovery, worried that it may cause more damage.
Holding VOL UP + PWR from a cold boot doesn't work. Black Screen then Reboots again.
I would suggest following this post if you had the same issue.
It will revert you back to stock and you have to root your phone again, it will go back to a usable state, if you are in a soft brick scenario.
Having the same issue. I use different apk's to enter into recovery mode. Or - connect to computer and reboot via adb reboot recovery.

You actually don't need to hold the Home button, works with just volume up and power.

2.5.0.2 might be the build that I should be using with my phone. Presently I have constant issues with 2.6.0, either the phone getting stuck @ the team win logo causing me to have to battery pull.. Or just rom's not booting.
Hopefully someone has a download link of 2.5.0.2 out there, I'm unable to locate it anywhere. And hopefully it wont break anything if I downgrade.

I'm not using 2.6.0 any longer either but just for those that don't know.
When your phone hangs on the TWRP screen you don't have to pull the battery, you can reboot recovery by holding the volume up and power button at the same time.
Works for me anyway.
