You will have to install a new sbf...
For that you need to go to bootloader (Power+volume UP)
Install RSD Lite and flash the new sbf!
It may fix it..
EDIT!!
Try Power and Volum Down and if you see an android with a yeallow triangle, Press the buttons as mentioned in the post below and you'll go to stock recovery.
Try volume up and down really fast. Not touching bottom corner. I don't even have my Defy yet but I'm sure I read this!
Sent from my Blade using XDA Premium App
fast response, ill try that im not sure if it replaces the boot screen tho thats the problem on my phone i tried to installa dif one but im flashing the 2.2 sbf tho

To get CWM recovery back you'll need to root. (use SuperOneClick)
Then Install Sd recovery (hhttp://tinyurl.com/3dbqefx)
Install recovery and done!

I rooted my slide months ago and have been installing new roms regularly using Rom manager and manually by booting into recovery.
I just downloaded and installed cyanogens new 6.1.1 release and when I booted the phone I get the usual request for me to allow Google's locations services and I click ok. Then I get touch the android to begin screen and when I touch the android, nothing happens. I did this over and over. just stuck.
So I just figured I would restore my back up via nandroid... I tried to reboot into recovery and pressed Vol down and pwr. I am only getting the choices of
Fastboot
Recovery
Clear Storage
Simlock
I select recovery and I get a triangle with an exclamation point.
And now I am stuck What happened?? More importantly, What do I do to fix this??
Please help ASAP I am very nervous!!
When you go into recovery, aren't you supposed to then hit Vol Up and Power and then wait a bit?
When I prees up then power it just boots into the "touch android to begin " screen that does not work

when you get the exclamation triangle you press vol up + power and then select apply update.zip, then you can restore your nandroid... your only problem here seems to be a bad flash, just wipe and reflash cm6 or restore the nandroid... obviously you are doing something wrong when trying to go into clockwork recovery so dont panic and do it as you did when you flashed the rom man
God Bless you. It's Fixed and restored!!!!! Thanks a ton!!!!

you are welcome my friend
as the title says the recovery wont boot using rom manager
it will either
1.) reboot loop 3 or 4 time before restarting or
2.) go to a screen with the android ad an exclamation mark in a triangle
i also can not manually boot it into recovery by holding home+ power
any advice is greatly appreciated
ps im a little noobie ish
press the HOME + POWER...
Once you on the "exclamation mark in a triangle" screen press the HOME + POWER key to get the recovery menu. As far I know this means something about the ROM signature not being there or something.. I'm just learning myself, but I have been there before... so you just need to restore the backup image and you should be back to normal. Good luck.
I'm unable to apply a custom ROM myself... everything works but a custom ROM... can't figure it out yet.

Hi,
I think you should read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798 and check that you have the right version of bootmenu.
Answer n°5 may help you to start over again.
I have been through this a few days ago, it is quite easy but there is a lot of reading.
The most important thing is to read everything so you can understand what you do.
thx for the quick answer i have try step five but when i do that it bring me to a black screen with a white triangle and a ! in it. i really dont know what else to do
hit both volume buttons at same time it will make a menu visable then choose factory reset
also cm7 flashes a new bootloader so you might have to flash reboot into recovery for cm7 then install again
holding both volume button and the power one does not work it bring me to cyanogene boot loop
You have to press them when you are in the stock recovery menu.
but i cant go in the stock recovery menu or i dont know how cause pressing the down buton i still go to the boot loop and if i do power plus down button i get to a triangle with a ! inside it
To enter stock recover do:
Shutdown phone
Start phone by pressing power + volume down (hold both keys for a few seconds)
Once the android with the exclamation mark is displayed push volume up and down at the same time.
Then you're in stock recovery.
that's great man thx, and what to do once im in there?
wipe data and factory reset
it tell me 4 thing
reboot system( do nothing)
apply sd card :update.zip (saying there is nothing like that on my sd)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
i would like to know what to do from this point on cause i got nothing now in my phone
i did the wipe data and factory reset now when i start my phone it stay on the M logo
now reflash cm7
alright i did flash but i put back 2.2.1 in it i wont play with that anymore lol thx
your welcome
I've recently got the JB update so I installed it, or atleast tried. Because when I try to turn on my phone again it gets stuck on the HTC logo (White screen).
I think somehow my battery went down during the installation and now I can't access my phone anymore.
It's a clean phone, no costum ROM and I haven't rooted it in any way.
Is there a way to fix my problem? (Preferably withour rooting it.)
I tried holding the power and volume down buttons and then selecting recovery but that doesn't work as I just end up getting stuck on the black screen with the Red triangle.
Regards
Sarcks

Try going into HBOOT
Hold down Power button & volume down buttons together when the phone is switched off. This will take you into HBOOT.
Select Recovery using the volume down button and press power to select it.
Hopefully it is able to recover and re-flash the firmware.

That is exactly what I did, but I ended up on the black screen with the triangle (As stated in my first post).

Doh missed that bit Sorry to be of little help. Hopefully someone else can proffer a solution.
if it's an unrooted phone, HTC have been very good at fixing phones bricked during OTA in my experience (2 day turnaround)
When you see the phone with the red triangle before you want to enter the recovery press vol - and the power button.....or at least the vol - button. Can't recreate it as i am on a custom recovery. You will bypass the red triangle and will enter the recovery. Maybe a cache wipe wil do, or a factory reset !

I've tried the factory reset be just like the normal boot it gets stuck on the HTC logo.
Clearing the cache might work but doesn't your phone needs to be rooted for that?

I cant recall if wiping cache is an option in the stock recovery !?
One can erase cache using 'fastboot erase cache' after getting the phone to restart in fastboot mode. See here and go to the 'Try this first' section. Hope this helps.

Sounds like hboot version problem with JB upgrade, what version of HOX you have? what version of hboot? , maybe we can unlock your phone and recover the system with custom rom and then rollback to stock rom.

I rooted my phone to a stock root on my Jelly Bean Galaxy S3. I then installed ClockworkMod through ROM Manager, then CM10. It installed OK, now stuck in a boot loop. No big deal, I'll reinstall to my Kies backup. Doesn't work, I can't seem to get into recovery mode. I hold the buttons, it vibrates, and the screen stays black until I let go at which point it boots to that horrendous boot loop. I really need my phone back!
P.S. Please explain as if I am five years old.

Download mode couldnt get any simpler bud
Edit: just incase if you dont know its down home power button to get to it, find your galaxy s3 firnware (ATT/Bell etc...) and your back stock nonrooted. And then you can root againif you wanna
While in a boot loop, hold the buttons. The phone will power off and stay off as long as you hold them down. Let go of all three, then immediately press all 3 again. When you see a little blue line of letters on the top left of your screen, let go again. Should boot into recovery from there.

Did you read the question bro.. he said he CAN'T go to recovery mode only other option is download mode
No, the option is to boot into recovery and perform a factory reset (which may fix his problem). IF that doesn't fix his problem, he can flash a different ROM from recovery, provided he had custom recovery.
The only difference in getting to download as opposed to recovery is which volume button you use. Chances are if he can't 3 button into recovery, download will be the same result.
Thanks
Got it fixed guys, thanks for the help, now I'm back at Stock Rooted 4.1.1, but am still on the quest for a deodexed rom!
Excellent suggestion - it worked for me

I got a Galaxy S III on 23rd Dec 2012 with Ice Cream Sandwich installed. A couple of weeks later it updated itself with a little help from me to the latest Jelly Bean. Since then it's gone into the reboot loop 3 times without any provocation; i.e. I get it out of my pocket and it's in a reboot loop but it had been fine the last time I used it. I tried pressing various buttons alone and in combination and eventually it came out of the loop. At no time did I have to remove the battery. The only mod I've made to it is the addition of a 64GByte SD card, apart from the upgrade to Jelly Bean. I've seen many posts on this problem but yours is the first that confirms my solution for getting out of it. It's obviously a common problem so somewhere there must be a description of what causes it and, hopefully, how to prevent it as it's a real nuisance when you want to use your phone and it's in a reboot loop. If and when I find a definitive article I'll post here again.
Thanks MrHaley.
