(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,
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?
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.

Try to flash CWM using Odin in download mode (VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER)
Hi, I'm completely new on all this mobile/android stuff, also sorry my poor English.
Out of nothing my phone bricked and I just wanted to recover my files from the internal storage.
Why I've tried so far: to install a custom recovery using Odin. Installation process were OK, I guess, judging by Odin and phone messages (on phone download mode you can read "custom binary download: YES (3 counts)". That's 3 because I've tried twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300 (tar) twice and recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.4-i9300 (tar) once.
Where I'm stuck: I cannot see the options to access these recoveries form the recovery mode, just the already existing options (reboot, apply update, ...).
Thanks you for any help!

First of all flash chainfire auto-root. You can download it from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip
Then try again to flash TWRP. If it will go ok, you can copy from recovery data from internal storage to sd card
Hi There,
I am in a similar predicament.
I have a Galaxy S3 (purchased in 2012) and a few weeks ago, the phone started to automatically switch off (when I locked it) and I would have to hold the power button for about 15-30 seconds for it to switch back on.
I checked the power button(to see if it was broken and pressing down all the time) but it seemed to be fine as whenever I pulled the battery, the phone would NOT come on unless I held the power button.
About 1 week ago when i tried to turn my phone on, with the power button, but it would get stuck on the samsung logo screen (it was frozen, not looping).
I was still able to enter both recovery and download mode. So I tried wiping the cache but it did nothing.
Then I tired flashing the ROM with ODIN and it passed but it also did nothing (tried flashing multiple times all with "PASS" as well as wiping the data cache in conjuction with the flashing but to no avail).
Tried flashing it again with BL and it also passed, but now whenever I try to enter Recovery Mode or Turn the phone ON it would display a White Scrambled Screen which probably means eMMC failure.
How do I retrieve the information on the phone ?
N.B;
- I do not care about fixing the phone, only want the information
-I cannot enter Recovery Mode, BUT I can enter download mode.
-When I connect S3 to PC it is detected (In Device Manager it states "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device")
-I did have my phone password protected before this happened using the Pattern Password (you have a 3x3 Dot grid in which you can use to draw a line(s) which will function as a password)
-My phone is an S3 GT-I9300
-Never interfered with the ROM or software on the phone before this (was running the official android software from Samsung which I believe was Android Version 4.3).
-I am not very versed with computer programming so please use simple words to help me
As previously stated. flash cf-autoroot and then flash twrp, both via odin. Then you should be able to access twrp (hold home and vol+/- (cant remember which, opposite from download mode) and press power once.
If you can get to twrp you can use its built in file manager to move your data to an sd card.
If no twrp its what is technically known as f*cked.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Short and sweet: TWRP is a popular recovery system; cf-autoroot is the preferred method for rooting some samsung devices by member Chainfire
I could lay out all that here again in detail, but it's safe to say you are better off in the long run if read up on that stuff by yourself...
Check the excellent threads I linked in my signature! Trust me, it's not as complicated as it seems.
hi i was trying to flash cwm into samsung galaxy core gt i8262 via odin
instead of showing pass or fail it showed me something else i forgot may be "reset"
when i reboot there was caution sign below the samsung logo this time but device worked properly
but i was unable to go into cwm. but as i did factory reset device went into cwm mode and not comming out of it
my device was not rooted at the time of installing cwm
pls help me
Stuck into booting into CWM every time after factory reset (Samsung Galaxy GT-I8262)
Peace!
Don't worry, dude! I had the same problem with my Galaxy Core I8262 when I factory-reset it from the Settings menu. I had the ClockworkMod Recovery installed already. It was stuck into booting CWM every time. Odin was unable to detect it either. So, here's how I managed it.
1. Restart Windows. And if it's stuck at the shutdown menu too, then force-shutdown it (by pressing the power button or turning off the power supply) and then start if manually.
2. After booting into Windows, reinstall Samsung drivers by completely uninstalling them first.
3. After successful installation, restart Windows once again.
4. Run Odin and connect your Android in Download Mode (Volume down + Home + Power). This time Odin must detect it, trust me!
5. Flash the CWM Recovery again via Odin (using the recovery.tar file).
6. Now you'll be able to boot into CWM as well as the ROM. But if you see your Android not going beyond the Samsung model logo then you'll need to download an official firmware file for your Galaxy Core and flash it via Odin.
I also used the 'format /system' option in CWM which might have wiped my system files. Let me know if the above procedure helps you.

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.
