Power off the phone and boot into recovery the normal way. Hold the camera button, volume down, and the Power button.

Looks like you will have to odin back to stock, and reroot then. Looks like you got the MIUI that had the nuked recovery... there is a newer one i thought that had fixed this issue. If you need a tutorial on how to go back to stock you can find that here : Unroot/Unbrick Epic 4g
You can also re-flash recovery via fastboot flasher.Or just try reinstalling recovery the usal way via adb.

Where will he get a copy of the MTD Recovery to flash?
OP, what ROM did you go back to? Did you do this by restoring a nandroid? It looks like to get back to MTD Recovery you will need to Odin back to stock with repartition checked then move forward from there since you can't get into CWM. You can try ROM Manager before you go that route, set it for manual flash override, Epic-MTD and clockwork 3.x.x.x and see if it will get you into cwm. If not Odin is the way to go.

No you cant, there isnt an MTD clockwork mod that you can flash... and you dont use ADB on this phone for recovery... its Odin. Otherwise if he reflashed the Recovery through odin he would brick his phone.
And the moderator beats me to it

First try to do a factory restore in recovery. If that doesn't make it boot, you need to find a CWM one click and use that to flash.

If you can get into download mode: Power it off completely. Then Power On + Volume Down, then Volume Up to 'confirm'
You can then try a PC Odin One-click Full Reset. Maybe start with this one to make sure all works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 Then hit up Rwilco12s repository [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252]and check out the others.
The directions for these are dead simple and very explicit. Take the time to read through them.
Make sure your phone is at least 60% charged before you start! You might want to power it off and plug it into the charger for a couple hours.
While it's charging download the one-click and launch it 'as adminstrator' and have it open waiting.
Then, if/after charging get it into download mode.
Also make sure you are in download mode before you plug in your phone to the computer.
If it shows up on any COM port your good to go. Start it and way till its done.
Good luck
Ok. I'll read through those links, but I cannot get into download mode.

I was using pacman Rom
I dont remember which rom I was wanting to flash. I flashed a kernal from recovery I believe CWM and this is what happened. I dont know if I was supposed to flash the rom at the same time. I thought I could flash the kernel then reboot and then boot back to recovery to flash the rom.

This computer is my spare. My main computer is an imac running just linux mint on it and I have another computer that has just ubuntu on it, so this is the only windows machine I have.
I restarted one more time and this time it recognized it! My phone is alive again. Thanks!
I was using agat recovery on the rom I had been using for about 2 months, I got a wild hair and decided to try another rom, that one replace my recovery with CWM and then when I tried to restore it didnt recognize my backup.

Isnt 4ext for evo 3d. Last time i checked it was so we epic 4g touch users need cwm not 4ext.

My bad mate, I didn't know 4ext was only intended for HTC. Try another recovery if you can, I heard TWRP is good!
I'm glad it worked! So is your phone atleast booting pass the Samsung Sii screen? Or still problems?
IDK if you're using a stable Rom or nightly roms, try to first flash your stock and see it from there?

Looks like he flashed a kernel and no rom and probably flashed an aosp kernel on a tw rom which wont boot, or vice versa. Or he flashed a kernel and then wiped the system which deletes the rom
I like to break stuff!
He likes to break stuff too, got to read op and double check before you flash. Speaking of flashing (not trying to hyjack thread) I need a safe recovery, on Garwyyn's stock rooted FK23 no recovery. Some what confused about what' s safe to use?
Any advise will be appreciated. :beer:

That works, TWRP works, but CWM just wont. I'm using a n7105 international variant, any possible reasons?
another weird thing, i can only flash TW based roms, like cleanrom etc. All CM and aokp roms will go through the flicker thingy and blank screen.
Help please! the reason i root is to do away with tw!
I'm having this exact problem and have no idea what the issue is. If I wait a while after the screen goes black I see the buttons light up and when I press them I get hapic feedback. So I'm assuming it's disabling the screen or something?
Yeah you are correct.
As long as capacitive buttons turn on and the phone vibrates, it means it has booted which generally means a successful boot but failure in screen.
Secondly make sure you do not flash N7100 roms on N7105.
They are too very different phones.
Additionally try cleaning cache dalvik data and system.
Also make sure recovery is for n7105.

Same problem here. Would you mind if i ask for a copy of the 6.0.1.5? I would like so much to root my phone but cant go to CWM or the android system recovery.

So just picked up a new Galaxy S3 AT&T as my old one had a cracked LCD. I rooted using Odin, boot into recovery Clockwork Recovery, installed superuser and rebooted. Afterwards I tried to go back into the clockwork mod recovery to install roms but instead of CWM I was greeted with the factory android recovery screen instead.. I tried rooting a few times, each time shows clockwork mod recovery but after a reboot it reverted. This use to work on my previous galaxy but this new one isnt taking it..
version 4.1.2 Just got it yesterday.. Any idea?

This is not the AT&T galaxy s3 forum. This is the GT-i9300 (international) forum. Top of teh screen is a "type to find your device" box, which you can use to locate the correct forum.

Thread moved to AT&T Q&A.
Check for a file named /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on your system partition. That will try to replace the recovery when the phone starts in case it has been corrupted.
Try booting to recovery with Rom manager.

I don't understand your question. ROMs with aroma installer are flashed from recovery like any other ROM. RUUs are flashed from your computer.
When i tried to install svhd rom the aroma installer starts from zero percent and suddenly goes to 100 but still it shows that the rom is installing
