please help - clockworkmod backup rom problem

ok so, i just rooted my phone and that went fine. did it with the stock rom, but after I did that I installed clockwork mod. well, i tried to do a back up of the current rom and when it rebooted it crashed. now it comes up to the android system recovery screen but it won't let me select anything...... can anyone help?!?!?

i am freaking out here... did i brick my phone?!?!?! anyone????

I don't know why you're having a problem or what caused it but you certainly didn't brick your phone. You can always flash a new ROM in clockwork or use odin to flash the stock .tar.
edit: missed the part about not being able to select anything in recovery. All is not lost, just flash the stock EG31 .tar with odin and you'll be fine. You're gonna have to reroot and set everything back up again (I've done it twice today) but at least you will still have a phone. Try just flashing the kernel first, maybe you can get it to boot without losing anything.

everytime i reboot the phone it just comes back to this android system recovery screen. it's blule, at the bottom is says manual mode. and something sucsessfull but, it won't let me selelect any of the options and it keeps booting to this screen... where can i download odin? i keep seeing stuff about that, i guess i need to flash to a rom or something....
edit: cool, yeah.. can you show me where to download what your talking about??
thank you!!

get odin here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
stock tar here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351761
Read the guides if you aren't familiar with using odin. Good luck.

Thanks A lot man!

[Q] [[SOLVED]] Recovery Broken, Need Help

[[SOLVED]]
Alright, so I checked through a few pages on the forums, and I didn't see anyone posting about this issue I am having..
I purchased my S3 a few days ago, and instantly rooted it. I used the Odin3 v3.07 method with "root66_SPR_L10VPBLJ7.7Z" ROM. That went well and fine. Then I tried flashing CWM recovery, and when I booted into recovery, it was still the stock. So I downloaded ROM Mangager and flashed the touch CWM recovery, after it finished, it asked if I wanted to boot into recovery. I agreed. Then the phone restarted, and upon starting, it showed the SAMSUNG logo, and "recovery booting" in the top left corner for about half a second. Then it just stayed on a black screen. I could do nothing after that. I then took the battery out for about 5 minutes, threw it back in, and the phone started. So I tried to manually boot into recovery, and the same issue. Took the battery out again, phone started properly, so I then tried to get into download mode. That worked fine, so I downloaded the CWM recovery on my laptop, and connected the phone through Odin, and flashed CWM onto my phone. Odin said it passed, but I still have the same issue when I try to boot into recovery.
Any ideas on something I'm doing wrong?

It is likely that your ROM is detecting the custom recovery and replacing it with the stock one. This was a change made to the stock ROM several versions ago. Before that you did not have to do anything extra to load the custom recovery.
The versions LG8 and later have code to detect an unsigned recovery and replace it with stock. You need to:
- Download TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip and place it on your ineternal sdcard.
- Get into Download Mode and connect ODIN.
- Flash the custom recovery with ODIN but do not check the "Auto Reboot" box in Odin.
- Disconnect the phone from the PC once the recovery is flashed.
- Pull the battery to power down
- Boot directly into recovery (Hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons until recovery appears. Do not allow the ROM to start).
- Once in the recovery you need to flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery.
- Reboot
All Done

Correct; and the reason for this is because the updated stock firmware as a script basically that re-flashes stock recovery upon boot if stock isn't detected. The team epic zip removes that. After doing that; I'd recommend flashing the twrp recovery.

So whats your issue? Why do you need the stock rom...? The drivers are the same and the stock kernel is for stock only, not aosp

Okay I did some research, and I found online that the Samsung phones need .tar.md5 not .img files for recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484304
I did not use these directions since I don't run linux, and I wasn't going to download VMWare. Anyways, the way I fixed it, I purchased and downloaded Mobile Odin from the Play store. I put the recovery.img on my external SDcard, then opened the app. Under "recovery" I selected recovery.img and then scrolled down to "Flash" It flashed the recovery.img with no problems, then booted me into recovery. I then flashed mrRobinson_Ashaman.v2.20_signed.zip so I could uninstall some bloatware.
That last part was mostly for me, until I find a ROM I like.

Sprint Galaxy S3 not goimg into new recovery

Hi guys newbie here
I just another Galaxy s3 for the fiance and installed the clockwork in it but it just wont go it just keep going back to the stock recovery. I installed it using Odin 3 3.07 and it says PASS but nothing... Any ideas or help?

Because you can not let the phone boot after the flash. You have to pull the battery once it completes. Then put it back in and boot into recovery. Then you have to flash teamepic.zip to root. If not once you boot up it will overwrite the recovery with stock.
Whatever method your doing will tell you to not let the phone boot up. Your missing that step. Make sure reboot is not checked on odin.

I think, even after that you might end up in the stock recovery after one or two reboots. Check this link that talks about removing a couple of files that cause this issue "What to do if Phone Boots into Stock Recovery (Android Recovery) instead of CWM".
Only follow the steps under the section "What to do if Phone Boots into Stock Recovery (Android Recovery) instead of CWM". Rest of the guide is not applicable to SPH L710 Galaxy S3 Sprint. (@edfunkycold suggested to remove the link, but this link was really useful when I first installed the CWM on my phone and kept getting the stock recovery back).

@gndlgisdbna
That's talking about i9300 that's the international S3 anything that has to do with that device will brick a US variant S3 please edit and remove that link before a noob follows that link and messes up their phone.

[Q] N7100 Boot Loop + Stuck at Samsung word

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, actually ive been here just for stalking and follow tutorials. this forum is the best for me and helped me a lot. But, 2 days ago, I got an issue that cant be solved by me by refering threads. So I decided to register to forum, and ask by myself.
Here's the problem.
"There has been sudden booting while I was using Facebook on my device, while I reboot it, it stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note II -GTN7100" after a while, it reboot again. It happened suddently. It happens continously untill now. It has been 2 days I search through the forum but none can help me."
My device details while the problem occur :
ROM : Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2
Recovery : TWRP 2.6.3.0
kernel : stock
and my device can turn into download mode, and TWRP. but only cant boot into ROM.
I did try to flash many ROM via TWRP. And do fresh format.(Clean evrything via TWRP). Install various ROM and it seemed cant help to boot into the ROM.
I also try to flash stock from SAM, via Odin, but it helpless.
I also discovered that is not the power button issue, as i can boot into recovery without restarting by itself. So I think it is not about the power button.
I tried to use other recovery, and flash CWM via Odin, but cant get to CWM recovery mode. I also tried to flash stock recovery, but same as CWM. Only TWRP is working on my phone.
I searched thorugh the forum, and many ask to do factory reset, but it helpless for me.
Thanks everyone for any suggestion! and dont ask me to go to Samsung centre as my device warranty is expired.:cyclops:

well flash this http://d-h.st/fWr and try install any custom rom and get back with the result
and what about philz recovery that does not work even http://d-h.st/iII

Try flash cf-auto root through odin. Usually the phone will successfully booting after the auto root process done.

flash pit partition http://d-h.st/Dlv,then flash the firmware stock

Hello everybody.... I assumed that this topic now shall be closed since I sadly solved it.
The solution :
After trying stock ROM and cant enter stock recovery, I tried many official rom 4.1.2 and many custom rom, but nothing can help.
So I decided to go to Samsung centre, then they tried to flash with their own odin, so the same thing happened. After a few checkings, ive been told that my motherboard got problem. So I need to change a new motherboard but I dont want.
So, i decided to buy a brand new phone that same price as the new motherboard =.= .... Thanks to all that trying to help me especially mr Ankit.. Many2 thanks and i appreciate it.. Taking 3 days without sleeping to figure it out seems helpless..
If there are any possible solution, please share to me since Im still following this thread..

Continuing from my above post, I also faced the same situation...Samsung service center guys told me that my motherboard needs to be replaced and it would cost Indian Rs.7400/-, so I am going ahead with the replacement, as now also a new note 2 costs min. Rs.22k in India. And at the Rs.7500/- price point even the new 'Android One' phones launched by Google are no where near to the punch packed by Note 2.
Hope this post helps other beleaguered souls like me.

Pity, mate- but I think motherboard change will in fact provide you a new phone. Samsung has used some third party components that have not been so reliable. New motherboard will have aproven components.

Rooted a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 lite 7 SM t110" Thank You

I just rooted my new Tab today thanks to the helpful and complete instruction from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674649
(3/10/2014) and it works beautifully and is very easy, The step by step instructions and detailed videos made this the easiest root I"ve ever done (which would make all of 2 now). It took all of about 10 min, excluding the hour or so I spent carefully rereading the procedure and watching the videos.
Thank you so much! I have root again!!!

Regarding a boot loop problem mentioned in another thread (I am not able to post in development threads yet so hopefully the author will see this)
I had the same thing happen to mine after installing cwm and rooting then attempting to create backups. I think it was the way I tried to boot into cwm, didn't wait long enough perhaps.
Anyway, I wound up flashing the stock firmware again, using Odin, then redoing the cwm install and rooting again. It worked like a charm for me.

I just had to do the whole process over again because my tab would keep dropping wifi (a common Samsung issue) I did a factory reset, forgetting the stock recovery was not on it any longer. It went right into the cwm bootloop again. I reflashed the stock firmware that I got from honai of androids blog in a link, using Odin.
Then reflashed the cwm, and rerooted. All is working again.

i will retry cm and root, glad to hear i wasnt aalone though i am not wishing anyone bad

Booting straight into recovery
I'm having the same issue as some on this forum. I have searched and searched but cannot find stock firmware. The" honai of androids" lead was a dead end. Link appears to be broken. Can someone point me in the right direction? Samsung Galaxy tab3 7.0 lite.

I thought I'd posted the link to the stock firmware,
oops I cant post links yet, just google honai of android blogspot how to date galaxy tab 3 lite
It is a very slow d/l hosted by one of those "pay for fast download" sites. But the free d/l link works fine and it is the proper firmware, samsung sees it as official.
CAUTION: When rerooting, (Notice I didn't say if, I'm assuming anyone would naturally want to have root), when you boot into CWM, it takes a long time. I didn't wait long enough the first time I did it, and I think that may have something to do with the bootloop issue. I am going to install quickboot and try that.
Follow along with the detailed information and videos that were so well done by xda members. Ive done the whole process about 4 times now (when you do that first boot after flashing CWM, be sure and boot into recovery (again follow the video if you have any questions. The one on youtube posted by root junky, ots excellent.

What if the bootloop does not even allow me to get into recovery or download mode?
Any solutions?

I posted the files that you need to root and reset the custom binary counter.
1. Flash the Stock ROM
