First I will tell you all the steps that led up to this point, my phone is GT-S5660 aka Gio:
1. I rooted using superoneclick.
2. I updated su binary, su app through store
3. I flashed px-recovery 2 through recovery mode (at this point after I clicked reboot I could no longer acsses recovery, not through the normal key combination, although during the install it seemed to work, said installing cwm and then successful)
4. I turned it on normally
5. I downloaded Rom Manager from store
6. I clicked reboot to recovery
Now if I turn it on I see samsung logo (the first one, not the flashing one), I can acssess downloading mode, and few other modes which I think they are unrelevant.
My not so clever analysis: I ruined recovery so that you can't enter that, then in my stupidity I forced it to enter recovery mode. Please help me fix this issue, I don't think it's totally ruined because it worked before I pressed that button... :\
If you can access download mode, then flash a different rom via Odin. Your phone will be good as new

No other way to overide it? Just initiate normal boot somehow?

Obviously you haven't made a nandroid backup before rooting your phone...
Sorry mate, next time you will.
Use custom recovery like CWM and make a nandroid backup before messing with your ROM.
Cheers.

Actually that what I was trying to do, I tried to change recovery to CWM but it didn't work... I flashed it via recovery, the only thing I used on Rom manager was this button
Pheraps there is a command through adb to reboot normally?
I have tried every single freaking thing but it doesn't work, and I still wonder if there is not an easier solution, I'm not sure if you're quite getting me, the phone worked good untill I pressed reboot into recovery, I didn't install any cwm from rom manager... And if you're still certain I must flash another rom through odin well I'm not quite sure which, I searched for one on sammoblie but there are so many... and I can't find out what is my PDA and CSC

Hey, this is my first post so be easy!
I rooted my One X a while back and it has been fine and only now I decided to install a ROM.
I went for Cyanogenmod 9 and followed the instructions to install it on my phone.
IT went smoothly and runs okay as far as I can tell apart from Recovery Mode.
Everytime I go to boot into recovery it just starts the phone as usual. It doesn't get stuck on the boot screen or anything, it starts just like normal but it doesn't start in recovery!
I have tried doing to through the Power + Volume Down method and through CLockworkMod app, no luck.
I have also tried to reflash Recovry but it still doesn't start.
This is frustrating as I can't even restore my phone to an earlier backup due to this.
Any ideas??
Cheers!
Try using ADB. The code is
su
reboot recovery

Sorry for my complete 'noobness' but whats that adb?
Cheers
ADB is short of android debug bridge. It comes with the android sdk.You can google it. Once ypu install the sdk you can google how to set up and use adb.Also don't forget to put ypur phone in debugging mod via Settings> Application>Developmemt

I have tried that, using adb reboot reovery, and it will doesn't load. Just boots the phone like normal. :/
Any other ideas?

Hello,
Yesterday, when trying to create a backup of my current ROM (original, factory ROM) it seems that after the backup process was finished, when I tried to reboot my phone it would go directly into cwm recovery instead of starting up normally. This happens every time I try to reboot the phone. I have a Samsung Exhibit sgh-t599n (metro pcs).
Other things that may be revelant to my problem: the backup was not successful (there was a message saying something about an image not being copied). Also, in the cwm recovery menu there is a warning that says "No file_contexts".
I would appreciate any help you could give me.
Thank you

Can you boot into download mode? If so try using odin to reflash the recovery.

I rooted my phone using Impactor. The recovery (cwm) was installed by using Odin (going into download mode and using Oding to download cwm into my phone).

Okay so you do know how to get into Odin. Try flashing a different custom recovery. Also make sure the one you are using is made for your device. There aren't any recoveries that are universal with 1 file. Just make sure the one you are using is for your phone!

But in order to reflash do I have to take the same steps that I took for flashing cwm or do I have to do something different (delete cache, reformat phone, etc.). Sorry for the insistence.

I don't do much with odin since i dont ever have any issues with my recovery but all you should have to do is install the recovery just like you did the first time. Also if you are following a guide to do this make sure you are checking the right options!
Also not all odins are compatible with all devices. Make sure the odin you are using is for your device!

Use usb mass storage to mount your Sd card to your computer and transfer either a stock ROM or a custom ROM to your device. Flash it and let me know what happens.

Thank you for your help and apologies for bothering you so much.
-I was able to flash a custom ROM (compatible, PAC rom); however, the problem persists. Every time I boot the phone it takes me directly to cwm recovery.
I was able to find these instructions (thanks to thereal_big jake from androidarea51.com) for solving a problem very similar to mine:
1.Flash Stock Recovery in Odin Link
2. Factory Reset in Stock Recovery
3. Flash CWM in Odin
4. Now Flash your Rom or Backup
5. Reboot
Could somebody explain how to flash the stock recovery with odin in my phone (samsung exhibit sgh t599n).
Thanks

I guess I am confused on where you are at with this then. Typically when someone says they have a nandroid, they completed a full back up via their custom recovery. First thing to try when this happens is to restore the nandroid backup via the same recovery. Are you not able to boot into CWM anymore as well?

K, well if it does boot up into the OS, then you should be able to use the command: adb reboot recovery - and see if that will kick you back into it to restore.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have to do a full restore probably.

please help!!!!!
Never factory reset from a custom ROM. It is recommended to do it from recovery. Your reset has wiped too much including important parts of the OS. Flash another copy again.

Go the the forum designated for your device, do not ask here.
As for your question, please flash your stock ROM again. Make sure to follow the steps properly and be very patient.

Thanks for ur concern but i cannot open my recovery it is just teamwin written on screen any other method plse describe.
Maybe it is just loading? If after waiting for 5 mins. can you enter recovery? If not can you enter download mode? If yes then download a copy of the stock rom from here and flash it via ODIN.

ive got this problem with my s3 so can i ask on here?
How do I get into Odin mode? Every time I try to hold power, home and volume down it just flashes the Samsung logo and then goes into recovery when I release the buttons, no download mode
EDIT: just solved it. Seems I didn't press the volume button "down" enough.
Need some help! I woke up with my phone in bootloop (only Samsung logo). It is a MTK6589 device with Samsung S5 ROM specifically designed for this device. It is a rooted device with CWM recovery in it. I have been flashing ROMs for quite a long time. I flashed a different ROM in it thinking so sure that it will fix the issue but to big surprise, nothing has changed. Samsung bootanim and bootlogo are still there and still in bootloop. I tried to reflash one more time, wiped everything (Dalvik, etc.) but still no luck. Now, I came up with one last resort: flash stock ROM by SPFT (SP Flash Tool). So I downloaded the stock ROM for my device, flashed it by SPFT. With full hope that I fixed my device perfectly, still it did not change anything. Still the same problem occurred after flashing the Stock ROM. Now, I am trying to go to recovery, but it is just keeps on booting. Recovery (either CWM or stock) is no longer accessible.
PS: Before it happened, my device keeps on reminding me of xmodgames app which is installed in my device saying it is dangerous etc.
I will really appreciate you replies.

Correct drivers are installed. I have not tried flashing it with fastboot and I do not know what fastboot is. XD . The ROM I am trying to flash is the stock ROM of my device.
