You can try rebooting to the recovery and trying it again and see if that helps you...

[SOLVED]Can't get into CW recovery or flash an official rom

Hi
I'm running whitealiens rooted nandroid stock rom but I've been trying since yesterday to get into recovery to flash a custom rom, Rom Manager it tells me it's flashed the latest recovery but when I try to boot into recovery it sits on the hero splash screen, so I thought I've just flash an stock rom from HTC using RUU and it says that there is less then 30% battery even though it's at 70%, or it says there's no USB connection.
I've tried reinstalling Rom Manager, reflashing a new recovery but still the same problem, anyone on got any ideas ?

Yes, flashed alternative recovery through CW then downloaded the latest CW from website, renamed it update.zip then booted into recovery and installed it

Don't panic,follow the steps:
1-Root e recovery with cf-root
2-download rom ( zip.packages) If you see any error messages or the procedure stops, then the packet of cooked rom may be corrupted.
Re-download and re-install from the beginning..
3-If the first boot takes more than 20-30 minutes, manually restart the phone by removing the battery or by pressing and holding for 10 seconds the power button.
If the problem persists, perform a hard reset .
4-If the phone restarts all the time, back in recovery mode and re-install, also performing the hard reset.
5-If your phone will not boot up, go into download mode and try to install a firmware via odin, performing a hard reset.
i tried installing a stock rom then flashing over that i have installed a ics one and jb one...didn't work...the problem is not with the booting itself but with the flashing like i said every rom flashes in like 5 seconds...it tells me it;s done and everything went fine but when i reboot i can't get past the samsung logo before the boot animation, so practically the rom doesn't flash...i dont know why...odin works great....but i can't flash through CWM. I wanted to try TWRP recovery also but i can't seem to find one for the international version of SGS3...Please help:crying:
Flash via recovery requires CF Root ,
ROOT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684535
Odin flash is much longer than 5 seconds and short flash is probably wrong file /faulty file .

i have flashed cf root after flashing stock roms both jb and ics and it didint work...i tried to flash like 7 different roms in ics both based on jellybean and ics...i wiped all everytime...

I really don't think the ROM caused your recovery to not work correctly. Have you tried a different recovery, likE https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5mcmFnZ2VsLnJlY292ZXJ5ZXhlY3V0ZXIiXQ..

Use a different/older recovery..if you are using touch version use the non-touch version of vice-versa..just flash the recovery tar file in Odin..

[Q] Unable to flash custom ROM

I did find a lot of threads but i didnt get any answer to my question.
I was using a 2.3.6 stock Atrix 4G. I decided on getting the cm9 so i unlocked the bootloader using the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
as i am using the newer version so i was advised to run option 1 of the script( click the link to see the script) and then option 3. I did option 1 and then my phone got stuck in unable to boot and then i ran option 3 and just pressed enter and my phone booted. So i didnt advance on the script and closed the script. Now my phone says UNLOCKED at the m logo while booting.
And then for rooting i used the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769497
i did get some errors while using the coding( as i had typo error) but then after two reboots and trying i got the success on my cmd window.
but i didnt get the same command promt text as upndwn4par( see the link) got. Still i anyhow got success. I checked my apps and super user was indeed sitting there.
After unlocking and rooting i downloaded rom manager and also downloaded cm9.zip file into my sd. Then pressed flash CWM and then also made a backup for my stock ROM and then pressed download from sd card on rom manager , then it asks cleear cache dalvik and backuo. I checked all and then my phone reboots and gets stuck in the ANDROID GUY with an Exclamation mark inside a triangle. I also tried reboot with recovery in ROM manager but the same screen.
I have mentioned all my steps. So please guide me where or what am i doing wrong?
please help , cause moto ditched me and i want to ditch moto's software.

I don't think recovery is installed properly. Try to fastboot flash recovery.

Rooting and Custom Recovery problems...

Ok so.. I am having some problems. Never had many issues with rooting etc before but my S6 Edge is being surprisingly difficult.
it an SM-G925I on 6.0.1 EPIK build
I've tried the Skipsoft tool thing multiple times. But for the love of god I cannot get a recovery installed nor root.
I've had the booting back to stock recovery problem along the way and followed the steps to boot into the custom but every time I go through the options and follow the steps by the time I try, the phone brings up recovery is not seandroid enforcing in RED in the top left of the screen.
I can just hold volume down and power to reboot back to android but so far I have not been having any luck getting root and recover =\
Any help greatly appreciated.
usb debugging enabled, obviously, Knox disabled (had to turn off reset protection to get Odin to flash)

Ok so flashed the autoroot Hopefully right. Used the AP section, booted into download mode and flashed, it was succesful then restarted with the seandroid error But a second or so passed and it booted into cf autoroot which successfully rooted my device.
I guess that's a good thing.
Now all I need to do Is manage to install a custom recovery and find the best rom xD
Thanks for the help so far,
Eagerly waiting for more ^_^

Cool,,
Now download root checker from app store and install it. Press verify root to check.
Easiest way to flash twrp now is to download flashify from playstore.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
From there you can easily flash twrp.
Hope that works mate

Ok so great news! Flashify worked and I think is amazing.. haha...
ONLY PROBLEM NOW.. is any roms I install don't seem to work. I can wipe, flash and then boot and the phone either gets stuck on the samsung full logo Or the animated glowing samsung boot image. Atleast I think. CarHD rom seemed stuck on the boot image for more than 5 minutes.
Any ideas?

It's normal when you flash a rom for it to take around 10 minutes to boot first time. I'm currently using car HD rom. The first time you flash it, it will stick on Samsung glowing logo for around 10 minutes maybe more. But give it time it will boot. There's a good choice of roms available but check they are compatible first line. Also in aroma installer for CarHD rom select full wipe

Did you flash the aroma theme? If you just flash the ROM without the themes then it is just like stock ROM but with mods like viper, ad away and some good customisation options in ROM control and OTA
There's tyrannus rom, alexis rom, xtrestolite
Have a look on here there's quite a few
