As the title says, I can get CWM to load after using Odin, but after rebooting, booting into recovery brings me to the ICS stock recovery.. tried searching and haven't found anything. Have tried several times, following the instructions I found on here. (been flashing since the g1, so I do have some experience)
When I first rooted mine (several weeks ago) you had to uncheck the reboot box in odin and when the flash was done you had to pull the battery and immediately boot into recovery without allowing the phone to boot into stock because the stock includes files that automatically reflash the stock recovery image. If you odin, pull the battery before reboot, boot directly into recovery (volume up + home + power button), and you should be in CWM. I also had to have TeamEpic's Root from Recovery zip. Once in CWM you flash the root from recovery and you are good to go.
I'm not sure why it would be different for yours and your roommate's but try this.
If you search the Android Development forum you can search and find reference to two files that need to be modified/deleted because during boot those files reflash recovery to stock. Team Epic's zip file automates this change for you, but you can do it manually if you prefer.
You should find more answers in this thread:

It's cause u have to delete or rename two files that cause cwm to be overwritten. They are system/recovery from boot.p and system/etc/install recovery.sh. Just add a
.Bak to the end to both of them and re flash cwm

I rooted my phone and was able to access Clockwork, but since then I have not been able to boot into recovery. I have gone through many troubleshooting steps including trying to use Rom Manager by clockworkmod to flash a new recovery, trying to go through to root process again and trying to use terminal and adb to flash a recovery. When I try flash_image, it says "flash_image: not found". Rom manager won't boot into recovery. My phone sticks at the exclamation screen when I try to manually boot into recovery. I can't use update.zip because that requires that you have the ability to user recovery. I haven't been able to find any other way to flash a recovery mod onto my system. Is there any way that I can just get the files that are supposed to be installed on the phone and the locations they are supposed to go to so I can just flash them one at a time? Or does anyone have another possible solution?
ESPRDIAG.zip
ESPRDIAG.nbh
ESPRIMG.zip
ESPRIMG.nbh
All those files are showing as missing when I start bootloader.
I think you need to re-root your device if not first. If it is rooted whatever rom you have selected to install needs to be in the root directory of your sdcard. Again before you can flash any rom you need to be rooted and have access to clockwork.
I hope that helps if not try this

Go through the root process again to get back to clockwork to flash a new ROM. Or follow the process to flash the engineering rom, which will save you from having to do all of that to get back in to clockwork recovery each time.
Finally got it to work, but is there any way that I can get it to go into Clockwork every time I boot into recovery without having to flash it again?
Flashing the engineering rom will enable you to leave update.zip on the root of your sdcard and just flash update.zip eachtime you get to recovery to get into clockwork. Or if you have flashed eng build you can start using rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery. Afaik that's the only way to boot into clockwork.

So two days ago I thought about installing Vision X rom on my Note 3 (T Mobile).
I downloaded the ROM and then backed up my current ROM (nandroid). I had Phillz touch recovery then.
Then I thought about going to TWRP and thus I downloaded the latest zip for my phone and flashed it via Phillz upon trying to reboot into recovery it got stuck in the screen "Rebooting Recovery...".
When I restarted it would still try to reboot into recovery and get stuck. I got out of that by going into download mode and then selecting "Restart Phone".
After that I looked for solutions and upon failing to find any I thought about going back to stock and starting from ground zero. I managed to flash the latest stock using Odin however I forgot to do a factory reset before hand.
When I tried to do a factory reset in my, now stock, phone it failed and then got stuck trying to get into recovery. It would flash "Rebooting Recovery..." then restart and flash that in a loop.
I have lost my root as well in the process and trying to root using Odin and CF-Root just get's me back in the recovery boot loop. I can use the phone OK however this is not a stable situation.
I'm sure I've made some serious errors in the tinkering and would like to get my recovery back. I really love Custom Roms. Any kind and knowledgeable souls out there to help me in my cause?

Go to the Playstore and download TWRP Coordinator and then
use it to install the latest TWRP recovery for your phone.
Once you can get back into TWRP recovery you need to flash
the cf-autoroot for your phone. Be sure you flash the CORRECT
version of cf-autoroot for your phone's model.
Good luck!

The app is constantly crashing!
It would start for a second then close. I tried the TWRP manager as well with the same result.
I've lost root access when I Odined back to stock, won't I need root access to install new recoveries?
Sounds like you flashed the stock 4.4 firmware and now need recovery to root. Flash this TWRP file using Odin http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Once you flash it, you need to boot into recovery to install supersu to root.
Switch off the Galaxy Note 3 (remove the battery and reinsert if needed)
Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.Release the buttons when the screen flickers and wait for the TWRP menu.
Select Reboot, then System and install Supersu for root.
Once booted, open Supersu to update it and grant permission.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
What I was trying to do: I have a stock 4.4.2 AT&T GS3 that I wanted to root, and then install Cyanogen Mod.
What I did: I flashed Auto-Root with Odin 3.10, restarted and then flashed TWRP 2.8. I then booted to TWRP and attempted to wipe/format the phone but it showed some errors along the way, I think it was something having to do being unable to mount the SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and flashed CM12 and slim Google Apps zip. When it was flashing both I got a string of errors but it said it was successful.
Where I'm at now: When I try turning the phone on (without holding any buttons down) it attempts to boot straight to the TWRP but gets stuck at the blue TeamWin screen. I'm able to get to download mode by holding down the appropriate buttons. I'm wondering if there's anything I can flash from Odin to resolve this.
I also realized I have unbacked up photos on the device, I don't think the format was successful, is there any way to recover those?
Thanks
To recover the pictures, try re-installing TWRP, boot into TWRP, and mount the partitions. Connect the phone to your computer and copy your pictures.
TWRP
I have had this happen before. Try using Odin to flash an older version of TWRP, uncheck reboot after flash and then when it is done, do a battery pull. This has gotten me back into a working TWRP to restore my previous setup. Note: You made need to go back to 2.6. Once you have gotten back up and running flash to the current TWRP with the app.
I was trying to root my device and was following a guide which instructed to flash TWRP, then rooting kernel and finally a ROM of my choice. After using Odin to flash TWRP the phone booted to the TWRP menu on which I chose to reboot the system and the phone got stuck on the black welcome to galaxy screen and it just kept on flashing that screen. I was able to boot to the load screen by holding power, home, volume up key and using Odin to flash the original image file.
Question is am I following the correct order to root this thing and if I am what could have gone wrong?

After the phone rebooted to the TWRP recovery you should have flashed the rooting kernel before rebooting
the phone in twrp. You need to go back into twrp recovery (you will need to odin flash twrp again).
Here is the xda link for Jovy23's stock rooted G928T kernel: (flash this in twrp recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3229557
If you flash the wrong kernel the phone will be in a constant bootloop and or it will get stuck on the logo screen.
Good luck,
Have a Happy New Years.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and Rooted.
I've been trying to flash CWM and also TWRP without success.
I've used all sorts of methods, Odin, ROM Manager, Nandroid Mgr, Flashify, ADB, ... with the same results:
The flashing always seems to be successful but when rebooting into the custom recovery mode, the custom interface doesn't appear but instead, the system tries to boot into what it appears to be the stock recovery's three first colored text lines for a few seconds and it reboots into a loop until I remove the battery.
Then the only way to get back to the system is boot in download mode, flash either CWM or TWRP with Odin (although I know they won't actually work) and it then reboots into system.
Then I restore a backup of the stock recovery that I luckily made with Flashify and at least the stock recovery works.
(BTW, when the stock recovery has been restored, if I go to ROM Manager both CWM and TWRP are listed as "Already Installed" ... I thought that when you flash the stock recovery, any previous custom recovery is removed )
Any help would be appreciated
