Won't boot into recovery - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I can not boot into my recovery but my phone can function perfectly fine. When I try and boot into recovery it shows "Recovery booting..." then the Samsung logo and then it just shows a black screen. Any ideas? Thanks for the help

Your recovery is corrupt, use Odin to flash either stock or custom recovery.

Flashing Recovery: Doesn't stick

I've tried flashing recovery via Odin and CWM Recovery and it will reboot into recovery just fine. However, when I let it reboot into android, turn it off, and then go back into recovery, CWM is gone. The phone, however, stays rooted.
Any idea what could be wrong or how to fix this?
Secondly, if I can get into CWM immediately after flashing, is it safe to flash a new ROM at that point or do I need to get CWM to stick first?
Anyone? Any suggestions at all will be appreciated

Sure... You can flash a rom immediately following the flash of cwm.... Did you also install busy box?
Which cwm are you trying to use? 5.8.4.7 seems to do me good....?

Before your phone boots after installing cwm in Odin do a battery pull then boot into recovery (Volume Up+Home+power) then flash your superuser/root package. It will stick then.

I tried using that CWM version as well as an older one. Both work and I can get busy box and superuser installed once it boots up. But when I power down and try to go back into recovery, CWM is gone. I do get to keep root though.

I tried unchecking the auto-reboot button on Odin 4 and 7, and going that route. Both allow me to get into CWM, where I try to flash the recovery v5.zip. Still doesn't stick unfortunately.
My flash counter is up to about 10 now, trying to get CWM to stick..

Flashing 5.8.4.7 after renaming it to recovery.img with mobile odin did the trick for me and it stuck.
I used this guide below

Thanks everyone. I used CWM toolkit, reflashed the stock recovery, then used odin 3.07 to re-flash CWM 5.5.0.4 and it stuck.

hi! this happened to me about 2 days ago, what i did was i downloaded CF-Root v5.6, flashed the kernel using odin. Then reboot the phone, enter the recovery mode (volume up + home + power), wipe the data and install your old ROM or new ROM.
here's the link for the CF-Root

Happened to me yesterday, wanted to update miui, so reboot into recovery and was just a black screen. Wouldn't turn on or go in recovery mode. All I did was flash a no wipe rom (litening) using odin, to get me back in recovery mode, then flashed the updated miui zip. Lost nothing.
Fixed it finally. Easy fix

How did you fix it?

[Q] GT-I9100 won't boot, yellow triangle.

Hello.
I was flashing CWM through Odin, as it wasn't included in the root. The installation was a success. Until I attempted to start it, I came as far as the booting screen, at which there was a yellow triangle. It didn't go further than that.
I'm unable to access CWM, therefore unable to perform a factory reset.
How would I be able to fix this?
Thanks,
Alex
Have you tried to access download mode? You should try and flash a stock firmware.
