Not on that paticular model of phone, no. If it had been any other model you'd be fine.

Hi
I was wandering if somebody could help me? I tried to flash a liberium rom and also flashed TWRP recovery. Did a backup and tried to boot my phone and it wont boot? It wont go into recovery mode also. It does however go into Download mode.
Also, I have a nandroid backup on my pc but dont know how to restore it via Odin? Dont want to do anything further as am fearful that it might make things worse!
If somebody could guide me how to get this working please? I would be very grateful. Phone is S3 I9300 (International version)
Many thanks

By your case u can only flash a stock rom via odin.
But it looks if u flashed wrong recovery by the looks of it.
And from that its not a certain return.
But u can always try
Learn how to flash with odin.
And go for it.
Any help u need just pm me

Don't blame on TWRP, you might be doing something wrong.
1. Flash recovery via Odin, TWRP or Phliz touch.
2. Enter recovery to restore your backup, both TWRP and Phliz will work for TWRP format backup, or reflash the ROM /Kernel or whatever you flashed, better do a redownload, file may be corrupted.
3. If you still unable to enter recovery, flash stock firmware via Odin and use Titanium backup to extract / restore your data from recovery's backup.

Is there any CWM.zip for the galaxy s3 ??
I want to keep my stock recovery and use CWM abilities like backup
Can any one find a similar thing ??:fingers-crossed:
I mean that I want it to be like my galaxy mini GT-S5570I
I had a CWM recovery . zip
If I want to use it I go to my stock recovery and select " install update from sdcard" and choose the CWM recovery . That make me boot into CWM recovery mod

Stock recovery DOES NOT include flashing through zips so even if you in fact can flash stock recovery through CWM you CAN NOT flash CWM through stock one.
And to be honest I can't see any reason why you'd like to do so.

i don't think that is possible! how could you enter a custom recovery through a stock ones?!
Its called fake flash and was invented by koushik Dutta and Paul O'Brien. I used it on my HTC desire for a while. You essentially flashed it into memory and was gone on a reboot. This method is pretty old hat now. Im not convinced anyone uses this anymore. It's certainly not available on the S3.
Actually earlier rooting methods of desire gave you a leaked engineering version of the recovery that had no signature verification. That's the only reason it was possible

you could try something similiar, for example mobile odin, there you can flash update.zips and keep your stock recovery. (but it has no other cwm abilities)
or you use syah or googy-max kernel, where you can boot from stweaks into 2nd rom utilities which is a full working cwm and disappeares after reboot. there you can keep as well your stock recovery (but you have to flash a custom kernel )

Yes, full nandroid including efs, but needs a rooted phone -and it can provide root.

Thanks. I guess that is the OP's solution then!
maybe anpother suggestion, which i often use could be the app online nandroid backup (its on the market), which can perform nandroid backups whithout going into recovery.
So there is no need of a custom recovery as long as you do not want to restore your backup.
and in combination with mobile odin you can flash update.zips. so the basic cwm abilities are covered (as long you have root)
First of all the details:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 Gt-i9300
Software: Android 4.1.2 Touchwiz
I was trying tot flash a custom ROM (cyanogenmod 10.1) using goomanager. I did everything right but my Phone got stuck in a boot loop. It wants to start the recovery mode( the "loading screen" from twrp pops up), but before it starts, it reboots itself, so i cant get into recovery mode. Does this mean that the open recovery script is corrupt? And is it possible to install cwm instead of twrp?I can get into Odin mode.
Is there anything i can do to restore my phone?
One read the basic faqs and guides before flashing .
Two just restore your Nandroid backup no Nandroid see above .
Three looks like you need to flash either stock rom then recovery or just recovery .

I think i never made a twrp backup because it has NEVER booted into recovery succesfully. It just gets stuck at the loading screen from twrp and then it reboots itself and it automaticaly triest boot into recovery again, but then it fails again and reboots itself. This cycle goes on and on. I don' t need to restore my files, i just want to recover my phone so it works again.
EDIT: How can i find my region code without using my phone, so i can get the right samsung software from their site.

Wipe data, flash a rom, whatever. Your aim is to get a booting phone and you'll need a working recovery to do that.

So I edited build.prop model and after reboot, the phone doesn't boot up, I can access only clockwork. Is there any way to edit build.prop in clockworkmod? Or can I transfer files somehow to flash the ROM again? I don't want to erase everything and go back to stock, please help
Thanks in advance
Do you still have the rom or a backup on your phone? You could reflash the rom, or any rom, or restore a backup from clockwork

Thanks for responce, but no, I don't have anything, and a new problem is that I flashed new version of clockrowk, and it doesn't work, i can not access to recovery anymore
Are you familiar with adb?
Fire up adb and use adb push to push the file to the phone
Thanks, I did it
I've successfully rooted my I9300, actually I wanted to install recovery and try new ROMSsso I went to the method with recovery install through ODIN. But it didn't work for me as the matter was overwriting of stock revovery, I tried every method there to somehow get recovery installed. But all failed. Finally went to CF AutoRoot method and I only have root access now, the phone feel a bit slow now.
1. When an root app is run it takes a lot time to prompt me with root grant/deny(precise to say some app shown timeout). What's the problem?
2. Can somebody say how to get custom recovery in this condition?
3. I have backed up the efs and got two backup files as these[efs.raw.img-20 MB & modem.bin-12.1 MB] . Is it all? anything missing?
After getting a recovery I will make a NANDROID Backup. But please help me in the above three questions.
Thanks for your kind reply.
1. Factory reset
2. You can't, not with a stock firmware
3. Depends how you backed up

for the 2. If I can't with the stock firmware how to do it then? Pretty sure there is a way, that's what I'm asking.
Flash recovery with Odin then reboot straight into recovery and flash custom rom, if you allow stock firmware to boot it will overwrite recovery.
There is a guide in sticky thread.

Instead of all those button presses can I just install the CWM through ROM Manager. Is there any problem with that actually?
EDIT: or please at least say me how to block stock recovery overwrite through Terminal Emulator or what else.
