I rooted my phone last night and installed Cyanogenmod 10. I had it working fine, but my contacts weren't loading. I tried to restore data from the recovery I had in CWM, but when I restarted my phone it's stuck at the splash screen now. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes directly into the samsung recovery instead of CWM.
I'm not really sure what I should try next, as I can't get into Cyanogenmod or CWM. Any ideas?
Use Odin and flash CWM recovery again. If necessary re-flash CM as well. Should work.

Edit: This was solved by reflashing cf-root, which restored both recovery and cache to safe versions. Now I need to boot into recovery with Home+VolumeUp+Power and restore a backup.
I was flashing and testing new versions of clockwork recovery (using Heimdall, not Odin). Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen (it doesn't play the audio or get to the boot animation). I can still boot into download mode, but I can't boot to recovery. I've flashed other versions of recovery, including versions that I know are good. I've pulled the battery. What can I do to get my phone back? I don't think I've done anything besides back up the system and flash a new recovery image!
Anybody know what to do? Next thing I can think of is flashing CF-root again, but that seems dangerous if there might be a better way.
Thanks!
I had to restart my phone for some reason and on restarting, the phone got stuck in a boot-loop ( Samsung galaxy S3 i9300 ) text logo. I thought I'd reboot into CWM (Philz touch) and wipe to make things better. But the phone won't boot into CWM either, it showed the soft navigation keys and rebooted again, and kept running in a bootloop of trying to get into the recovery and restarting again.
So I tried to ODIN the recovery just to refresh if something is broken. It didnt work. Odin was success but the boot into recovery wasn't. I tried several times but no luck.
Then I flashed TWRP using ODIN, and voilah! i could boot into TWRP . I flashed CWM using TWRP and voilah again, i could reboot into CWM again . After thatI had to flash the ROM again though.
I do not know why it happened, but I thought I'd share the details just in case someone tries to google it.

You have to remember what exactly you have done before rebooting. Some times it happened with me mainly changing boot screen, battery screen etc.
So i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit sgh-t559n and installed CMW Based Recovery and oped the recovery mode, then before i decided to install any roms i Tried to go back to the normal screen and when i selected reboot it just turned off and came back to CMW, And if it's relevent I have CMW Based Recovery Version 6.0.3.6 and there is a warning that says Warning: No file_context. So Bottom line every time i try to get out of reboot recovery mode i just get sent back to it. Thank you in advance.
Mid year I decided to root and flash Cm 11 onto my little s3 mini (gt-i8190) and everything went great. Recently I read on the Novafusion website that they recommend using TWRP instead of CWM, searched on Google and saw it was safe to flash over custom recoveries. I used Odin to flash over the TWRP I downloaded from the Novafusion site. When odin completed its process my phone rebooted into TWRP and it all seemed fine, then I proceeded to flash the latest version of the Cm 11 4.4.4 rom. Again everything went great and my phone booted up normally.
I got the zip file for the Android L keyboard and I used Rom manager to reboot into recovery and showed the "Samsung Galaxy sIII mini gt-i8190 screen and just went black for 10 seconds, rebooted and continued going black then rebooting. I pulled the battery out and booted up my phone again then used rom manager to flash CWM again and it worked! I used CWM to flash the keyboard apk and it worked.
I was a little bit worried about the recovery bootloop and decided to make a nandroid backup. I couldnt reboot into recovery, manual way or with Rom manager.
I have used odin to flash CWM and TWRP a few times now without any luck. My phone just reboots normally when odin finishes.
If anyone could shed some light on this issue I would be grateful.
Thank you.
I can't seem to boot to recovery and I cant go to OS bc it doesnt have one.
Here is full story:
I wiped /system and /data
Tried to install an updated rom
Phone denies the ROM
Decided to update the recovery as well
Rebooted to recovery
Nothing happened
Probably bc I flashed it via zip, not .tar
Went to Odin or download mode
Tried to install rom
Didn't work (dm-verity issue or something)
Tried to install recovery via odin
Rebooted itself
Boots to Samsung logo
Can't go to recovery
Can't go to os
Only way is odin
Also before it booted to logo
There's a charging symbol which won't go away
I was thinking maybe a custom rom that can be flashable using odin would work?
but i couldnt find any
