Model is the GT-S7275T.
I've tried all the guides here and on other sites too (blasphemy! I know.) and nothing has got it to work.
I've been trying to install cyanogenmod (the unofficial one in these forums) for the phone, but I can't boot into clockworkmod in order to install the rom. Everytime it does, it simply gets stuck on the logo screen with "booting recovery...." in the top corner. I've tried booting into recovery from the cwm app, same effect. I managed to root the phone using some chinese universal rooting software, which seemed to work. But nothing beyond that. I've been at this for hours now, any help would be appreciated.
I've successfully installed cyanogenmod onto a previous phone and didn't hit any speedbumps this big.
Odin
Try to flash CWM using Odin in download mode (VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER)

my phone originally started out with the stock 2.1update 1 firmware, t959ujfd...
when i turn on (off then on) the phone it would boot to a "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo, then switch to a "Vibrant Samsung" logo.
when i received my phone this was how it booted..
Later, i rooted the phone, and flashed clockwork mod recovery.. I made a CWM recovery back up here..
After creating the backup, i put CM10 on to the internal sdcard and installed it via CWM. During the
installation, it rebooted into the newer version of CWM recovery. After choosing "reboot device", my vibrant
would first load the "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo, then the Cyanogen mod logo. but then the screen would
flash, and the cyanogen mod logo would appear again. Shortly it dumps me right back at the new version of CWM recovery..
At this point, i thought i flashed CM 10 incorrectly, so from the CMW recovery, i restored that first back up. after restoring that
back up, my phone no longer boots.. Right now if i leave the batter in and plug in a USB, the circular spinny charging icon appears,
then freezes (it doesnt spin).. i can turn on the phone, but it stays stuck at the "Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo.. I cant boot into recovery.
so i read a bunch of other threads about perhaps when ibought the phone, it had a GB bootloader. and i have tried ways to get my vibrant
into download mode.. which unfortunately i havent.. So i can't use Odin and flash back to stock.. Hopefully you guys can help me get back to stock so i can at least use my phone and/or start over installing CM10..
Note: i did not install/flash anything else other than CM10. i did not use custom kernels, or install Google Apps etc..
Edit: Ok, now i can reliably get into download mode. for some reason, the physical button combinations were wrong for my vibrant.. instead of the
usual 3 button combo, my download mode was volume up + power.. this was also the reason why i had a hard time getting into recovery since it was
volume down + power.. It seems as if, my boot loader was changed when i bought the phone..
That's the combo I use I don't have boot loaders. Son if that worked did you get it fixed with Odin or heimdall

All you had to do is flash cm10 again. Most of the times you have to flash jb roms more than once because of the different cwm versions . Make sure you read the entire thread before taking action, I'm sure it said that somewhere but anyway Gb bootloaders are much more convenient so that's a plus. Just flash back to stock with Odin or if you still want cm10 then boot into recovery and flash again.

Hi guys
I just installed the GlamourS4 ROM and it worked great. I restarted it a few times and nothing seemed to be wrong. Now I tried to boot into recovery through the power menu, but that didn't work and I'm stuck in a loop with mz S3 trying to boot into recovery but failing to do so.
I already tries to take out the battery and put it back in, but it still tries to boot into faulty recovery. By the way I'm using PhilZ Touch recovery and I can enter download mode.
You can still flash an Odin Version of a recovery with Odin Form your PC. Look for a clockworkmod tar file in the development theead, you should also find flashing instructions there.
I will try and see if it works. Thanks.
Hello,
Some threads with similar issues are already around, but I didn't find one with the same problem as me.
What I was doing when the issue happened:
I was trying to install cyanogenmod from the isntaller method (apk isntalled on the phone, application running on windows that installs it automatically). At certain point, it rebooted the device and the cyanogenmod logo was on the screen. After a while, the program gave an error "'We couldn't talk to your phone' - Samsung devices ONLY", which is described in their wiki. So the pc lost connection to the phone.
What I did:
1 - Since I had installed the clockwork recovery and tested it before, I thought "hey, no problem. I'll hust recover this S*it". So I disconnected the SIII from the PC and tried to enter recovery mode pressing "volume ip + home + power". While I have these pressed, the phone in in an infinite loop on the initial screen showing the brand and model. When I release them, it goes straight to the cyanogenmod blue creepy robot just there staring.
2 - Since that didn't work out since I now don't have a recovery mode and I don't have any functioning rom either, I found several tutorials for using Odin and reflashing and or repartitioning. PROBLEM: Odin seems to recognize the phone (com port), I click on the option and... FAIL!
2.1 - What I have tried: Different Odin versions (1.83 and 3.09), stock drivers from Kies, Zadig drivers.
So. There you go. I pretty much exhausted everything I could get from my head and interpret from google. So, No recovery, no ROM, fail at odin.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Remove kies from the pc reinstall drivers and flash a cwm recovery. From there flash a custom rom in recovery from ext sd. Odin 3.04 is good. I would keep trying to get into recovery though. Do you have that red mark in the corner on Sammy splash screen?
(Please excuse my poor English)
I have a Galaxy S3 i9300. OS is Android 4.3, rooted, and old version CWM recovery installed.
I can't remember exact OS and CWM recovery versions, because I had installed them years ago.
Today, I had decided to upgrade my old CWM recovery. I installed ROM Manager apps from
Google Play Store. (I installed and used the Rom Manager app for the first time)
I ran the Rom Manager app and upgraded CWM recovery as the app instructed. No errors were
reported. Then I chose "Reboot into Recovery".
Then the big trouble happend.
1. Normal "Samsung GALAXY S III GT-I9300" boot message appeared
2. Small Hat image and "ClockworkMode Recovery v6.0.4.6" message appeared
3. Screen blacked out.
4. Repeat 1~3 infinitely.
When I tried to connect via USB, my Windows7 PC could not recognize the i9300 at all.
I cannot use the i9300 as phone, too. I cannot do anything at all.
How can I fix this big trouble?
I have the same problem with TWRP recovery, keeps rebooting over and over again, sometimes the recovery menu appearing and reboots after some seconds automatically, please help
I had the same problem with my i9300 with CWM recovery it kept booting back to recovery no mather what i did i can recoment 2 things
1.flash new recovery with odin(did not try this but xould help
2. Flash original samsung firmware also with odin (this helped me)
My advice i olny flash recovery with odin roms with recovery
Thank you. I could fix the problem by flashing another kind of recovery app.
1. Enter the odin mode (press volume_down + home + power when power up , http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Odin_mode )
2. Connect i9300 to PC via USB
3. Flash another kind of recovery app using Odin (in my case. CWMs are not work, but TWRPs are good)
Hello all,
So, let me keep it as short as possible.
The incident
I was talking on the phone, after the call i tried to hang the phone and there was just a black screen (phone stuck).
Pushed Power button steady and the phone rebooted and never boot again.
Mobile bio
The phone was rooted (2+years ago with CF Root)
Rom was stock European 4.1.2
I have available a full nandroid backup (boot.img etc)
The latest Custom recovery i had installed was CWM (ver. 4 something).
Current status
The phone is stuck at boot with a yellow triangle.
The phone can get to download mode (and be recognized by odin)
The phone cannot get to the recovery menu, (to be more precise when i press vol+, home, power the phone finally gets to a black screen {no backlight} but it is recognized by the command "adb devices" as in recovery status)
Kies cannot connect either in recovery mode or download mode. (Stays in connecting message).
Tried the following
Installed various kernels (Siyah-s2-v4.1.5, Siyah-s2-v5.0.1 etc)
Installed various roms (including stock roms) via odin with NO error.
Installed the original .pit file for 2Gb S2 system memory.
Tried the flashing method with 3 separate files (CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar, CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar, MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar) via odin appropriate fields.
Tried two different Odin versions (1.85, 3.07)
So after trying all these, i finally rest my hopes in the community.
I really hope there is something more i can do, in order to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
Hello again...
Still trying to find a solution...
Some more info, in download mode i get the following info:
Custom binary download: YES (1 counts) and it doesn't change no matter how many times i flash anything through odin.
Does this count change only if you flash a new rom via recovery?
Anyway, i'm pretty desperate so i keep on trying to find a solution...
ANY help appreciated.
