I wonder if anyone can help.
I cannot load any 'custom' recovery onto this Neo Duo (I9300) phone. I have tried TWRP (2.7.1.0. 2.8.0.1, 2.8.1.0) and I have tried CWM 6.0.4.4_v1, CWM 6.0.4.6_v4, CWM6.0.4.6_CN as well as philz Touch 6.48.4-i9300 but none seems to stick.
The moment I boot into recovery (Vol-up and power) it boots directly into download mode. No matter what I try.
Any ideas?
I bought this phone a while back from Frys' but I cannot flash any custom rom, since no recovery want to stick.
Any help is appreciated.

I used Odin to flash the latest Tar and it said success. Have been on the "Samsung Screen" for a have hour now, flashing and the led flashing low and bright. Also, there is no stock recovery installed (can not boot into it).

which tar did you install? Stock rom should take you back to stock recovery
Unlocked, rooted and custom ROM, can it be hard locked.
HI!
I used this forum to unlock, root and install a custom ROM on my Samsung SIII, and my HTC one x! It was soo useful - going from having no idea to following the steps and doing it myself (with a few scary moments). Anyway, I have a question if someone has my IMEI can the phone be hard locked/bricked (both phones were purchased second hand) and if they can be can I unlock them again?
THANKS!! :victory:
Ok... I'm the kind of user that I'm sure you more experienced folks get annoyed with. Apologies for that. I flashed my SGS3 i747 with Slimbean (4.3.1). Now, I can't get into recovery. I had CWM on it before I went to Slimbean. I tried the stock recovery given by garydv2002, but I still can get into recovery mode. I can go to download mode (odin mode), I flashed the stock recovery. Odin said it was successful, but still no recovery. I used Odin v1.85.
Sorry for being such a noob, but what can I do here? Thanks for any help you can give.

Worked like a charm. Many thanks. I'll now see if I can flash it without screwing anything up.
Hi All,
I rooted phone and all went well. Downloaded CWM then the BeanStalk ROM with Android 4.4.2. Tried to install zip file it through CWM and when i looked at phone it had restarted. Loads the screen with the title CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7 and lists 10 options.
Tried to reboot/factory install etc but always end up back at this screen??
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, (I'm a n00b to rooting etc)
Update: The error i get when i try and install beanstalk:
no file_contexts.......
(Status 7)
Just tried to install Omni and got the same error?
Maybe you need CWM Touch 6.0.3.2+ or latest TWRP recovery (if you have a metadata error when flashing, you're using the wrong recovery!)
Cause your CWM-based Recovery is v6.0.2.7. Android 4.4+ need latest recovery. Such as v6.0.3.2+.
How would I go about getting the latest recovery on there? Odin?
Sorry i am a bit of a noob!

Click here! this should help you out.
Hit :good: (thanks button) sometimes if others helps you.
Thanks - but that link is a bit technical for me - it doesnt have any installation instructions?
Just want to make sure i don't brick the phone.
Is there a way I can unroot it then start over again? Would that be a possible solution?
Still stuck on this.... Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
I flashed a 4.4.2 stock rom for my mega 6.3 and now it's stuck in the ''recovery booting'' screen with the samsung logo, i can access download mode easily. I've searched, and i think i have to do a factory reset, but i can't access recovery mode (vol up+ home+ power), i've tried everything :/ it just won't boot in recovery mode, so i don't know what to do now, i can successfully flash everything with odin and downlaod mode, but it just keeps on the recovery booting screen, please help!.
Did you try adb?

Yup, it doesn't recognize the device
Just out of curiosity, have you had the screen replaced on it? That's a common error that has occurred to a lot of people when they've gone back. It's in another thread if you have. Other than that, I have no idea, but it a factory reset is recommended after the install, I'm not sure if you can get the phone loaded to do it. Good luck!!

Nope, yeah, the phone just boots to the samsung logo and it's stuck there forever :/ i can go to download mode and flash roms, but can't access recovery mode, it just won't do it, i've tried every button combination, the far i've get, is the same samsung logo, but with blue letters on the top that say something like ''recovery booting...''
faced the same problem when updating 4.4.2 via odin.
any ideas?

Help! So I rooted my Galaxy s5 using CF-auto-root and SuperSU and I flashed what I thought was CWM recovery from XDA, I installed mod manager which I then gave access to boot to recovery and now my phone is stuck in a custom recovery bootloop. Only if I remove the battery as it's about to turn off can I access download mode by holding relevant buttons but I am concerned that I have bricked my phone because there seems to be no stock recovery any more. Also mod manager listed TWRP as installed as well as CWM. Any help as to what I can flash through download mode or change files on my computer to help this problem would be appreciated. Extra Details:
Model Number: SM-G900F
Android Version: 6.0.1

flash the stock firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares via odim, it packs the stock recovery also
You will have to flash the full stock firmware and start all over from scratch. Also don't waste your time with CWM. It is outdated and has not been updated in years.

Thanks for that point about CWM - no wonder it's caused problems. If I can't fix the problem I was considering buying a new phone anyway hence me rooting my phone and flashing ROMs but I'll flash the full firmware from Samsung's website.

Think that was given is not Samsung site. It is by someone else and we don't advise it's use.
It won't be hard to fix it but understand it will completely wipe your device.

I did make a copy of all my android files before rooting and took pictures etc off it. Ah, I see. Well even if it's the correct firmware I'd rather at least try that - any working phone is better than one with files stuck in a faulty recovery boot-loop.

Okay so installing the firmware worked AND it DIDN'T wipe my device, I've yet to check whether the device is still rooted - it probably isn't. Any advice as to the best custom recovery out there for my international s5?
Edit: SuperSU says my device is no longer rooted, I guess it's okay to flash CF-Auto-Root again?
Edit: I flashed the auto-root again and it's rooted, I just need to be more careful with an updated custom recovery.
