Heres my problem.
I did a backup on cwm and it wouldnt restore due to md5 mismatch.
The only rom i had on my phone to flash was trickdroid but it keeps freezing in aroma.
Now im trying to sideload adb flash this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
but it sits at the bootscreen
not sure what do to from here since i cant transfer any files over to the phone.
First off Trickdroid will boot
Read below ! The boot process takes an unusual amount of time ... Don't think it's not booting .
If your stuck in aroma installer and can't get it to let you boot system up power off Device manually then power up .
If your out of aroma installer and stuck on boot up Just Wait!!trust me it takes along time ...I thought the same thing but it will boot .
Why did your cwm nandroid ..display a md5 mismatch?
Is your backup from twrp or cwm.
Know that if you already don't ...that normally a backup with cwm won't restore if you flash a diff recovery such as twrp.Each one requires there own backup..if that's the case ? I don't know !
Trickdroid does stick at the end of aroma installer . @tleast it did for me The good thing is it happenes to be you can get it to boot. When it's done and acting like it's sitting doing nothing after aroma is finished ..just power cycle phone hold power for 10-15 seconds till it powers off and power on it will then boot into system.
Other option is to get Into hboot and just flash twrp which most prefer I've seen a lot of posts about cwm being problematic.
One option to get out of the botched cwm issue is to try and Manually flash twrp via fastboot method
And then see if you can flash a rom.
It seems as if you lost your backup.
The good thing about twrp is that you can select individually what to backup
Which is boot system and data is all you need .
Good luck !

thank you! im sure something from this will help! i was just hoping i was missing something a bit more obvious.
I actually started on twrp but it wasnt reading my storage.
So i switched to cwm and did my backup.
Then i flashed trickdroid which kept freezing so ill try your trick.
but when i tried to restore it gave me the md5 mismatch.
now im back on twrp trying to get back to normal,
Ill reply back if it works!
Fixed

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?

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. :/

Whats about refalshing a stock rom via odin
Go to the download mode and flash the stock because it includes stock recovery
if your are on this point youre full resored and could go on flashing roms ==)
Riiiight I've managed to get into recovery (by clicking factory reset in bootloader) and Ive restored a backup which I did before installing the ROM.
But now It's bootlooping!
I think I need a new boot.img.

befoure u flash a new bootimage go to recovery and whipe data/cache afterwards it should work
if this doesnt work try the bootloader
Ok, I made a schoolboy error and think I have softbricked my phone.
I just got it this morning and have rooted it through ODIN. I was going to install a ROM but when in recovery I went and used the Superwipe app and then rebooted (don't ask) and it is now stuck on the Samsung logo screen. I can boot into recovery but of course no backup as its been wiped.
I am downloading a Stock Official and going to install through ODIN. I assume this is the right way to getting back to stock and starting again to unsoftbrick my SIII?
Its the first time I have ever arsed up. Its not nice lol

Yup, as long as you can get to download mode, you can use odin and flash back to stock.

I have the exact problem as you,but I couldn't flash the stock rom for my country..via Odin
Don't bother with superwipe, just wipe data/factory reset in cwm and of you really feel the need you can format system under mounts and storage in cwm.
Just make sure you have something to flash already on your phone before you do, and don't reboot after formatting system.
Flashing stock via Odin will fix your problem now.

Thanks. I dont usually format and have no idea why I thought it was a good idea to do it this time. I was going to mount internal storage through CWM and put the ROM on it but there was no option to mount it.
EDIT - All sorted. Thanks for the info
If you know how to use adb you could put the ROM on your sdcard through cwm.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Or if you're not comfortable with adb and got an external SD, put the external SD in your PC and transfer the cwm rom to that and flash it from external SD on your phone
if i helped-hit thanx
OK so Im on AOKP milestone 6 with the devil kernel and i went in to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache and when i pressed reboot system it goes back to recovery!!!! please help as I really don't want to reflash everything!!! Thanks.
I had this same problem until I flashed TWRP. When I rebooted, it instead loaded the OS, but it still had Devil Recovery. WTF?
Have you tried re-flashing the rom without wiping data?

I can't flash anything because i can't put anything on the sd card because i cant get out of recovery!

Try flashing CWM recovery again using Heimdall or Odin. Once it boots into recovery, flash TWRP or another recovery of your choice, then reboot and hopefully you will see your boot animation. That's what I did to get AOKP build 40 to boot again (though strangely enough, it's stuck with Devil recovery even after flashing TWRP). Hope this helps you guys out. And be sure to make backups!

Again, how can i put twrp on my sd card if i'm stuck in recovery? Is there a link for an odin version of twrp
You should be able to mount your SD card in recovery anyway. If not, take it out and insert it into an adapter to plug into your computer. I don't know if there's an Odin version of TWRP, I flashed it in CWM recovery.
I would read droid styles guide first if you have not yet as it has all the answers you will need. You just need to read through it and following the directions.

If you're using CWM, it's under Advanced or Mounts and Storage. Plug in the USB cable like you normally would.

I try to install twrp but it says installation aborted. I'm really starting to get sick of this phone and its stability issues.
You got the zip, right? It's in the Fascinate development section of the forums.
There is nothing wrong with the phone. I don't understand why you can't just Odin back to stock and start over. With the amount of time you have been stuck in recovery you could have fixed it by now. It you could follow droid styles guide to get out of the recovery loop without going back to stock. Something tells me you really just want a new phone...am I close???

Anyway, sorry for getting snippy, I was just really tired and frustrated. I did use the .zip from the forums.
If you've already tried Heimdall-flashing CWM again, and that didn't work, then I suggest you Odin back to stock as shelby suggested. If you haven't made a nandroid already, do so, then revert back to stock and start from scratch. You can try restoring your nandroid once you're no longer stuck in recovery.

I have a mez and I just got the sgs3 a little while ago. You need to check out section 8 or 9 I think of the guide. It tells you exactly how to get out of your situation.

There's also a topic about the "three-finger recovery boot loop" fix. You could try that.
I'm encoutering this issue with a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Intl).
The phone randomly got into a bootloop by itself, and since then I could never boot it up. I managed to miraculously boot it once or twice, but then after awhile it went back into bootloop. I can get into download mode/recovery, but the problem is in recovery I am UNABLE TO SELECT anything. Tried power button/home button to select, I can't. Volume buttons work fine.
Here's what I've tried (in no particular order):
Installed Philz CWM touch to do the wipe
Flashed CM10.1.3 / CM10.2
Flashed CWM 6.0.2.9 as recommended on the CM thread (The buttons work fine with this)
Flashed Stock ROM (I9100DXLSD Singapore Stardhub)
Flashed Siyah Kernel and tried to wipe
Another problem is that everytime I flashed CM, the recovery gets overwritten by CWM 6.0.3.8 regardless of the type of recovery I am using at that point. When this happens I am UNABLE TO SELECT anything. Appreciate if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!
Urgently need help here. Nobody? D:
Try to use the odin to flash the kernel use dorimanx (9.xx is for aokp, cm... and the 8.xx is for stock sammy) flash that and do a full wipe with it, download a ROM and go to mount and storage in cwm and mount usb so that you can put the ROM on the phone. Now go to mounts and storage again and format system, (dont reboot after format system, AFTER YOU FLASH THE ROM REBOOT), then flash it.
Ask if you need something more!

Thank you for the response.
I tried the method but it doesn't seem to work. I managed to boot the phone though, strange way of doing it. All I had to do, was hold the the power button until about 3 seconds into the boot animation (the spinning Cyanogenmod, or the one with the Samsung signature tone), and the phone will boot up.
Once again CM went ahead and overwrote my recovery, bringing it back to the recovery that I cannot use. I'd like to know how I can replace this recovery with a touch one. Flashing say Philz touch recovery using Odin will render the phone unable to boot. Even flashing CWM 6.0.2.9 as recommended by the CM team (the one that prevents MMC-SUPERBRICK) will not allow me to boot the phone.
Also ROM Manager wouldn't let me flash a touch recovery unless I give them some money. Any other method to flash a touch recovery?
The Philz kernel is for sammy roms only I think. Did you do a wipe with a script https://db.tt/42o0ebwz . Just run it in cwm and you can try and flash the kernel through cwm again. Report back.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes you're right it's for Sammy ROMs I missed that part out, my bad.
BTW what do I do with the script? I've never used it before.
You flash it before flashing a new ROM. It basically removes parts of the phone that they maybe can make some isues with the ROM that you are flashing.

Alright I'll give it shot and report back. Gotta get some work done atm thanks a lot for your help so far!
With regards to recovery it's not that important since the phone works now more or less.

Sorry for taking awhile to reply. The wipe script doesn't seem to work, but it's alright.
Now I've got another question. Is there any way to add a power menu tile to quick settings so I can access the power menu to shut down the phone since the power button doesn't respond on mine. (I can turn on the phone, but it doesn't respond to anything else) I can't find any threads that provide such a mod, and can't be sure if AOKP has it 'cause I can't find a list of features for quick settings.
Something like what you see here. Can't seem to find any hint of him sharing it anywhere.
Apps that provide power menu functionality seems to freeze the phone upon shutdown, so they don't work. I'm trying to see if I can shut down the phone with the "official" shut down menu.
i`ve got a serios problem
i usually google my problems and find the \cure/ myself...but this time i cant get any luck
so...i flashed a custom ROM...and at the first boot everything was working preety well..then i saw that the Phone and some other apps were not installed
i remembered then that i havent deleted the cache and dalvick before flashing
so..i deleted them and reflashed ROM...in CWR after i finished flash i hit reboot..my phone didnt turn on
now...it turnes on after a very long press of the power button and the image is like a negative photo...i canot install any app..wi-fi not working
so..i mention that i have a nandroid backup on the device and the debug mode is enable
if someone can help me...that would be awesome `cauz ive runned out of solutions

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.
