[Q] Unable to Boot into CWM - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi everyone,
Just recently I restored my phone back to stock from CM10 since I was having some weird issues. I decided to root and rom again but I cant seem to boot into CWM. I flashed CWM through Odin and when I try to boot into CWM it just goes into regular Android recover. I'm holding down the volume up + home + power until it vibrates, then i release power but hold the other two down until the screen shows up.

Need Help Getting Out of ClockWorkMod Screen

I'm stuck on the Clockwork Mod recovery screen. Due to an issue detailed here, the gist of which was accidentally installing a kernel designed for the international Galaxy S2, I no longer can use my home and menu keys, and therefore cannot select anything on the Clockwork recovery screen (i.e. "power off"). Removing and replacing the battery just restarts the phone and takes me back to the Clockwork screen. Any help is appreciated!
Regards,

use vol up and vol down to navigate. Power to select

If so just flash the stock kernel or rom.

You might have to do a factory reset in recovery mode. Thats normally the easiest way to get past softbricks.

- pull battery
- then hold home, volume up, and power and release when ever the blue text on top right flashes.
You flashed a TW kernel and not an AOSP one. That's why you got a bootloop

[Q] TWRP won't load anymore and phone can't detect sim

I've had Sons of Android installed on my phone for a few months and a few days ago my phone stopped detecting the sim, I haven't had service since it stopped. I was going to try doing a restore to the stock rom but when i try to boot into TWRP it shows the splash screen for a few seconds, then it goes black and vibrates 3 times, and then it boots into android. Is there anyone here that can help me with my problem?

Put the phone into download mode and reflash twrp 2.6.0.4 maybe u deleted something u shouldn't have, reflashing the recovery should fix that, and if u wanna go back to stock u need to go to sammobile.com download ur firmware and flash with Odin, same thing put phone in DL mode and use odin to flash stock IMG.

How are u trying to get into recovery? Hold power and vol+vol- until phone shuts down, as soon as u feel the first vib let go of power button but continue to hold vol+vols until u see twrp screen, or depending on which ROM ur on u may have an advanced rebbot screen?, try updating ur su app, or better yet download twrp manager from play store, u can flash/backup/restore right from ROM without having to boot into recovery, but u need to have twrp recovery installed for this app to work

Try twrp manager from play store, u won't need to boot to recovery, u can do it all from main system, or use Odin to reinstall twrp and see if that helps sometimes goo can cause issues

help!!! No OS

T-Mobile Galaxy 3 N900T
No OS. TWRP was installed and I thought I had ROM on SD card no. So now I have no OS. I tried the Volume up home on button but just says Galaxy Note 3 and that's yet.
I read some other posts but where do I get recovery image and how do I get to bootloader? via Odin?
How do I recover?
Where did the os go that you was running.you know it is power home and vol up at same time to get into recovery.

If all else fails download the factory image from samobile and flash it in Odin. Will lose everything but phone will be working again.

If you have to ask questions like that it really would be worth reading up on how to do this stuff. Unsure if you can truly brick it but better to be safe than sorry.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
You can't really brick this way, although I'd consider it a soft brick. No os is simply that, no os. Uninstall your pc os and everything is still there, all your data is fine (given you keep your os and data separate. I.e partitions, which is android.)
Flash an os and you're fine

CWM nor TWRP will install
I succeeded in getting back to stock. I put the TWRP & CWM installed via Odin (Odin passed) but when I 3 button turn on it boots to the screen that says up volume to install OS and I go into Odin screen.
What gives?
3 button boot is for download mode...

For realizing I'm a moron! Somehow I missed the Vol up part! LOL
Seeing as how I haven't flashed a recovery, I've no reason to attempt recovery. Thought it was still Vol - and power like the s3.
No need to feel like a moron. If anybody should it's me lol

[Q] Bricked note 2 sgh-i317

Okay so i bought a samsung Galaxy note 2 on craigslist(not a good idea) and what the seller told me is that it was unlocked. well i got the phone and put my Tmobile sim card and it worked. i tried to do a system update which i kept getting a reminder for and my phone is now stuck on the opening samsung galaxy note 2 sign. well i took it to the cell phone repair places we have around here and none of them could fix it. apparently the guy rooted the phone to unlock it but the phone doesnt have a custom recovery. it can boot to download mode but thats about it. if anyone knows how to fix this i would greatly appreciate your help.
Not bricked. ..
Boot to recovery using the 3 button combination and factory reset the phone. ..then reboot. .
If the device sticks on the splash screen again. ..you'll need to push a new image via Odin. .
But the phone is far from bricked. ..it's just mad...g

Is the phone stolen? Might have been SIM locked.
I would try flashing a stock ROM onto it via Odin. If that fails you probably bought a HOT phone. Or it has hardware damage.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
It was unlocked when I got it... it had a custom rom on it and when I tried to do the update it made the phone do what's it doing now.. so what option am I left with? I already tried stock rom and nothing :/
Sent from my LG-P659 using xda app-developers app
So you have flashed a custom recovery? I can see that you said it did not have a custom recovery on it (but had a custom ROM?). If you haven't flashed the recovery and have not followed the flash to stock instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844), then do so (be as specific as possible on the steps you've taken since it seems you might be a beginner at this by trying to update OTA a rooted device).
happened to me too. pull the battery. hold vol up and power and home and then insert battery. Keep holding till the 2nd time it reboots and you see the logo then let go of the buttons. This should put you into recovery. Wipe cache and wipe phone then reboot.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.
Trying to get into recovery mode doesn't work... I am a begginer at this. I tried pulling the battery out and doing the up home and power combo but that does not work.
