[Q] S3-I9300 - boot loop and not getting into recovery!!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All,
I'm from India and I was on stock 4.1.2. Since I didn't want to root my phone, I installed cwm through odin and then installed philz touch recovery 6.00.8 and installed Neatrom lite v4.8. Everything was normal till today and I wanted to install the full version of neatrom(4.1.2), so I booted into recovery, but suddenly I'm getting into boot loop and not able to enter neither the recovery nor the phone. But I'm able to get into download mode... Please help!!!!! I didn't do anything except this.....:crying:
Dear All,
I reflashed cwm touch thru odin again and was able to get the phone working again!!! so, does the latest version of philz touch cwm is having any issues??? I'm not sure, if this is the right thread to be asked about this!!!!!

This is a commonly answered question. Please search before making a new thread. Glad that you fixed your phone. Make sure the rom you are trying to install is spefically for your phone. If there are any issues in philz touch you can find them at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953

Help Infuse4g Boots into cwm everytime?

Hello. I am new to the forum. I have a rooted Samsung Infuse 4g. I am a bit of a noob so please bare with me. I began having problems with the phone after I did a factory reset. Everytime I boot the phone now it brings me to clockwork mod recovery . Everything is written in red. Iv tried to do a recovery from here and I tried installing the rom from the my sd card and have had no luck. I cannot get into download mode either. How can I get my Droid running again?
Thanks in advance
If you can get into fastboot mode, download the .img file of any custom recovery for your phone, then use Android Flash Recovery to flash it. This will replace your CWM with a working version, which you can then use to flash a new ROM.

issues with CWM

hey guys, searched the forum, found some stuff matching my post but figured i would put out an update. just rooted tonight, ive done these before and i used to be a member awhile ago but forgot what email used. anyway, galaxy s2 sch-r760. recovery problem. CWM doesnt seem to offer a proper recovery and im new to using odin so im not sure where to go from here. how can i go about making a backup if i cant get into recovery? i would like to do a new rom and back this thing up asap. need a new recovery or ideas for one. any help would be appreciated guys!
You need to expand on this.What did you do to root,do you have stock or cwm recovery?
Followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928566 to root. Its a generic CDMA. Root went fine. It tells me that it has root access. I am trying to flash CWM recovery and it won't boot into recovery from the CWM option. It shows the unpacking screen for a few seconds then reboots. As of now I am assuming its stock recovery because I can't get it to boot into recovery from CWM like I was saying
Tried doing a manual boot into recovery and it turned on, said galaxy s2, turned off then rebooted. Its acting like there is no recovery at all....
No help on this guys? Anybody mod generic s2 before?

[Q] [Problem][CWM Touch-6.0.2.7][Not Installing]

Hello people....
I am new to SGS3 xda forum....i am from Pakistan...its been 2 weeks since i bought a SGS3 (second hand)...probably of 3mobile U.K...i was told by the seller that the phone was unlocked in Pakistan....as i tried system update from settings...it said that my phone was modified and could not be updated....so i decided to install CWM Touch on my SGS3 in order to create backup of my current stock ROM (4.1.1)...my phone is not rooted yet....i followed the instructions given in the following link:
http://jellybean-news.blogspot.com/2013/02/complete-guide-to-install-clockworkmod.html
Odin took 1 second and my phone was booted....Odin gave the Message ''Pass!''...everything went fine as it should have been...but when i went into the recovery mod...Stock Android Recovery is opening instead of CWM Touch....noting my phone is not rooted yet....it is also normally booting and everything is fine....can anybody guide me about the problem that i am currently facing...and its solution as well....?? Help Would Be Appreciated...
Edit:Just Flashed CF-Root Pakcage Including SuperSU and CWM Manager with CWM v5.5.0.4....now it goes into CWM...but still one noob question....have my previous stock android recovery and CWM Touch been automatically deleted/replaced?...or they still exist?? Thanks
Sounds like you were trying to install a cwm without being rooted.
Cwm replaces the stock android recovery. You could now try flashing the cwm touch through your current cwm. Make sure its a zip. If you come and ask for help You should really follow a guide on xda though. They are the best guides around.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you flash a recovery you will delete the previous recovery in doing so, your stock and touch are both gone - replaced with v5.5.0.4.
You can now boot into CWM and install a better recovery, try Philz touch recovery for instance.

[Q] [Help needed] S3 mini wont boot into recovery.

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.

Samsung i9300 International CWM Error

Hello , i have a problem with my samsung s3, i tried to flash with odin the custom recovery philz (6.0.0 and 6.48.4) and cwm(6.0.4.7 and 6.0.3.2) with Odin 1.83 and 3.07. Odin finish resets the phone but when i try to boot in the Recovery appears the dead droid with the No Command message and boots in the original recovery. Can anyone help me, please. Sorry for my bad english.
You have a stock firmware, which will restore recovery at each boot.
i understand this. can i fix`it ? last night i spend some good hours searching for some solutions but no luck...
Root your device: you get a modified kernel and cwm-recovery. Then you can replace cwm (by TWRP f.e. ).
so first of all i need to root the device . not to try to instal the recovery via odin directly. can you please tell me some names of what i need to get ?
Go read the sticky thread in general forum, all you need to know is there.
ok thank you very much:good:
