used oden to flash CWM. now i cant boot into android, it just keeps kicking me into CWM recovery.
anyone see this? any suggestions? would a wipe fix it?
did you flash a rom if so which one?
no ROMs, simply just tried flashing CWM via Odin
may i ask why 2.3.5?
what were you trying to do?
i am still able to get into Download mode to flash files via Odin, so i dont think all is lost. but, still just stuck in recovery. when i try to reboot it just takes me right back into recovery. i may have flashed an incorrect version of CWM which could be the cause of this problem. if that was the case, any ideas as to how i can get back into a proper boot?

I was trying to flash CWM so i could flash a custom ROM. Had this phone forever and was just looking to try out some ROMs out there.
As long as you odin cwm none of your os is really touched.
try the cwm 4 fixed for cm7. http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1311907538
Now when you reboot your device the stock kernel will over right the cwm.
also make sure you put the odin file in the PDA section.
So basically flash the new cwm and try booting into normal that should get you back where you started from. 100% stock.
that link didnt work. tried searching for the thread without any luck
for some reason it truncated the link with a '...' and it thinks that is part of the hyperlink

thanks.. so i flashed this via odin. same problem. i start the phone. the samsung logo comes up. it disappears for a second. then it comes back up and kicks me into recovery.
weird right? any suggestions
ok then what is your endgame?
Now before you said you flashed just the CWM, may i ask why...if you did not intend to flash a rom? were you going to flash a Kernel or obtain root?
Perhaps you should try this
Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278838
It is a custom kernel.
Now Flash CWM with odin
Put battery back in [dont touch power button yet]
Hold down BOTH volume and Power all at once * Dont let go until you see Samsung Logo.
[should still be plugged into pc via usb]
You will boot into CWM
using the volume up and down-Scroll down to Mounts and storage [select it by hitting the power button]
Then scroll to Mout USB storage
~now you should be able to see your SDCard as storage on your PC, put the Kernel some where on your SD Card~
[back on your phone Then Select Unmount
Scroll to ****Go bacK***** [select]
Scroll to install zip from sd card [select]
Select choose zip from sdcard
Navigate to where you have the zip
Select it
Scroll down to Yes-Flash........
Let the phone do its thing!
Good luck!

This may sound dumb but
make sure you are NOT hitting "reboot recovery" and you ARE hitting "reboot system now"

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?

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.

how do i mount my sd card and open it on my pc in recovery?
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???

Don't you belong in a different section?
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.
So here's the deal, I'm really nervous and stressed because i offered my friend to root and flash cyanogenmod on his sg s3 (i9300 US international) , so i rooted without a problem then copied cyanogenmod and gapps to internal storage. I went to flash both via clockwork recovery, I did everything I was so supposed to do and while flashing cyanogen mode i got install interupted message (along with status 7 or something like that) from that point on i can't get out of clockwork recovery, i tried everything including wiping all data, only 2 screens i can get to are clockwork recovery and downloading mode, I think i should flash stock rom via Odin but I don't know which region version to download because US or UK international aren't option for some reason. I really really need help on this one guys, I'm freaking the hell out. What should I do
thanks

error 7 has to do with old recovery. download the latest cwm (at least 6.0.4.4), twrp or philz touch put it on external sd card and flash it through recovery. restart recovery and you should be able to flash cm11
I don't think you have a nandroid backup?
what do you mean with us and uk versions are no option?

I meant no option as in I can't see it as download option anywhere, only the other regions. Other thing is, odin recognizes S3 while in downloading mode but my computer itself doesn't for some reason. It recognized it before this whole incident (hence files being on the storage) maybe me puting the files on internal storage before was the mistake.Btw no i don't have backup, I guess Im dumb but I didnt think i needed it, thought it was simple process without any complications.

so which cwm version did you use?
if it's an old one try it the way I mentioned above. I would recommend philz touch (can be flashed through cwm) because there you can choose in wipe options to clean to install a new rom and then flash cm11. and you can also make an efs backup if you haven't already done it.
so maybe you do not need to reflash the stock rom

Cool I got the Philz now but there's still the problem of getting different cm or current one into external storage also i cant access the old cm file on philz recovery now, i think it was big mistake putting the files into internal storage instead of external, any idea how to get my pc to recognize the device? it had no problem before the screwup
Don't you have a external sd card reader? Or put your sd card in another phone and copy from there..

ok so i know the SACS thread is closed. i was reading on youtube that the reason that V4 was giving people (including me) network problems is because of the baseband. its saying to be on version N900PVPUCNC5. i checked and im on Version N9000PVPUCNAB. im just asking for a little help. i really like sacs. so is there any way to revert to N900PVPUCNC5 so i can make v4 work? any suggestions will help. thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715034 nab is the old version. You are most likely having problems because you need to upgrade (not revert) to nc5. Read through that link then grab the file and flash in Odin. After you Odin to nc5 you will need to reinstall a recovery so make sure you have that file ready. After you install recovery you need to wipe everything including your internal sd and system. Reboot recovery and install sacs rom. Not much to it just sounds like there is a lot.

Hey so I followed the thread. I'm now on NC5. But my phone isn't rooted. (Or not rooted properly from what root checker is saying) I tried rooting with Odin. I even flashed the recovery twrp through odin. Nothing. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Hi all,
Thank you in advance for taking a look at this and I do hope someone can help me.
I was hoping to increase my internal storage by flashing a new PIT file. I followed some instructions (http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/79112/resize-system-partition-of-galaxy-s-2) but, when getting to the part for restoring my backup, I get an error that I can't get past. The error is "E: Unable to mount '/emmc' ".
I am completely stuck on what to do. I have tried flashing alternative Roms and Kernels, but nothing helps. I did get another error on Siyah kernel which was "error installing rom status 7".
I can get to both recovery and download modes.
I really don't know what to do. I had a look at the guide for recovering from soft-brick, but the files are out of date and also the links don't work.
If anyone could help I would be very grateful.
Thank you!
formatting the emmc via recovery after flashing the new pit file is a requirement...
By the way you should have posted this in the general section...
Edit: flashing a pit file only increase the data partition and/or the system partition, you won't gain any space on the internal sd

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply.
Whoops, sorry. Is there a way I can move this to general? I also don't seem to have the option to wipe the emmc. I am in TWRP.

I think only a moderator can move it now.
Thats strange twrp doesn't have, either way boot into download mode and grab a kernel tar file from
www.forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/convert-kernel-zip-to-tar-t2994381
Apolo or Gustavo, flash it via odin reboot in recovery when you are done then try formatting the emmc
Okay, so, I put on Apolo, got the option to wipe eemc in TWRP, it says "successfull", but also gives errors of "unable to mount /eemc through the log, as well as ending with "unable to mount /data".
How is best to proceed now?
So I decided to try and retrace my steps to get this to work. I formatted the emmc like you said (thanks!), then realised I need a CM11 Rom to go with that Kernel. So flashed CM11 and Gapps for the phone, and have successfully booted!
THANK YOU!
The only thing is, whilst doing this, I put the original PIT back on, so basically this was a wasted exercise. Would I have any problems if I Odin flashed the new PIT, then flashed the emmc, then reinstalled the ROM?
Thanks again for your help!
No,
head to this www.forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162
make a backup, grab the pit files from the link, choose the size you want.
Flash it with apolo kernel tar via odin(download mode)
Reboot recovery, wipe system, data, cache and format emmc then restore backup or you can flash the rom from scratch
