I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I cannot seem to find something for this.
I came from OmegaROM and decided to flash stock ROM again. I had a problem with being stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 page and foudn somewhere online to flash the stock ROM with Odin.
I did this and I was able to get back to the stock ROM, however everytime I install CWMod and try to enter recovery, it locks me back again and I end up having to flash the stock ROM again to get it back.
Does anyone else have this problem or a potential fix?

Can someone help, i just used odin to flash the rooted g1 image. Now i am stuck at the "samsung" screen. I just came from other custom roms such as cyanogenmod, aokp, and other touchwiz roms. I am assuming i have a diffrent kernal or diffrent bootloader and thats why I am stuck? How can i fix this?
My process:
I went from cyanogenmod to a touchwiz rom. Decided to go back to stock. Flash using TWRP Bootloader and kernal from the first post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31802808). Then used odin to flash root injected g1 image. Now it hangs at the samsung logo, i cant get into recovery (pretty sure i flash over that), but i can get into download mode.

You might want to try flashing the "UCALH9 Kernel, Modem and TWRP Recovery Tar" from here with Odin. Make sure the "Auto Reboot" switch is not checked in Odin. When the flash is done, disconnect from the computer, pull the battery, then boot into recovery by holding Home and Vol Up and then pressing Power. Hold Home and Vol Up until you see the Samsung logo and some little blue text, then release. If you can get there, do a factory reset, then you should be able to flash the rooted LG1 image with Odin. Or, you can flash LH9 from the same thread or from here by flashing the Bootloader, ROM and Kernel files from the PIECES section (in that order) before rebooting.
Wipe cache and devlik and it will fix your issue. I had the same problem before.
I have an extremely similar problem flashed from cm10 jellybean to stock rom + root and experiencing same issues at the moment i have flashed the stock rom and tried your suggestion "drothenberger" i got an error when flashing your suggestion

I had the same issue a few days ago and ultimately fixed it by doing factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, etc.. I had forgotten to do it after flashing back to stock. You were probably smarter than me and did those things BUT if you didn't it's usually something simple like I did to fix the problem.
\Hey hunter you prolly figured it out already but I was in the same situation today going from AOKP to stock rooted.. what fixed it for me was after flashing, booting into the stock recovery (HOME + VOL UP + POWER) and doing a wipe data and wipe cache. Then going back to download mode and reflashing the stock rooted tar. not sure if reflashing was necessary but it worked like a charm after that.
well as i wasnt in clockwork i was pushing a stock rom through odin i don't beleive i iclearly the cache that could of helped but nonetheless im stuck and i can't get into cwm or regular recovery etc

My suggestions including flashing a bunch of stuff. Which one caused the error? The flash of the modem/kernel/recovery tar file in Odin or the subsequent flashing of the zips in recovery? What was the exact error you received?
It's pretty hard to help you if you don't provide all the details.
Hi guys,
My N7100 was rooted and has been working fine for almost a month now. I have flashed several custom ROMs and have had no issues.
Today I restarted the phone to recovery and the phone shows the initial blue TWRP screen and then goes back to show Samsung logo and this keeps on repeating over and over.. meaning, can't enter into the recovery mode.
I am able to enter in download mode though. Downloading 4.1.2 stock ROM for my country so I can hopefully flash it through ODIN.
If possible I would wish to retain the ROM that's on the phone and use it as before. Any idea as to why the phone can't enter into TWRP? Will it help if I flash CWM via ODIN and reboot the phone after entering CWM?
Flashed CWM via ODIN and rebooted. Back into my custom ROM.
Not sure why TWRP stopped working all of a sudden. Anyway, all is well now.
For anyone who may go through the same, here is the topic to download CWM from.
Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards
I've flashed plenty of custom ROMs on this phone and my old Captivate so I'm not new to the process, but I have come across an interesting issue. At first, I had a version of RootBox (4.2.2) on my phone. I don't remember exactly what it was and I can't go check anymore. When I tried to install a new custom ROM, any, it said that my phone was d2spr even though it should be d2att and promptly failed. Never had the happen before so I thought I might need to go back to a stock ROM. Used Odin to flash a stock ROM, tried I747UCDLK3 first. Flashed successfully, but now it won't boot. So I'm stuck with a non-booting ROM and stock recovery. I tried flashing CWM using Odin. Flashed successful. When I try to boot into CWM it just shows a blank screen. Phone is still on since holding the power button doesn't attempt to start it. And that's where I'm now stuck. I'm attempting to get a Sprint ROM for this phone, figured it couldn't hurt at this point. I've tried TWRP and some other stock AT&T ROMs, but same things happens. I'm not really sure where to go from here since it seems to be unusual circumstances.
Does anyone know what's going on or what I should try?
Did you run an OTA update to take your d2att to 4.3? If you did, you cannot flash anything that is lower than 4.3 because the 4.3 update upgrades the bootloader.
I am assuming from your post you are not on the 4.3 mjb boot loaders.
Can you get into download mode. If so you could try the Odin back to stock again. Once complete you may need to boot into factory recovery and perform a full reset to clear the boot loop.
Did you root before flashing CWM?

Hi all,
I am new here and I am having trouble with my Galaxy 3 SGH-I747 from at&t
I rooted the phone using KingoRoot and everything was fine.
I used the phone for about a week and decided to update from kitkat 4.4.2 to lolipop 5.0.
I have a micromax phone that is rooted and I didnt have any trouble updating it while it was rooted, so i figured it wouldnt be a problem but when I updated the s3 it said update failed at 94% and started rebooting and got stuck in an update loop.
I searched and searched and tried finding recovery options using odin but I cant find a 4.4.2 stock firmware, and cant find much information on recovering my device.
I am unable to boot in to recovery. I cant find a link for the SGH-I747 to philz recovery, the links all seem to be dead.
I can boot in to download mode.
I want to install a custom recovery via ODIN but i cant find one for my phone.
After I install the custom recovery, how will i know which stock OS my phone is currently at
I appreciate any advice you can give me, thanks.
Use TWRP for custom recovery. CWM and Philz haven't been updated in quite a while. You can get odin flashable tars from here.
Flashing TWRP should get you to working recovery, and you can find the rom zips you need to get back up and running in the development section here.
Unrooted stock will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery upon boot. Depending on how far your phone is getting into the booting process that might happen if you let odin auto-reboot. Your best bet is to uncheck auto-reboot in odin, so it won't restart on you automatically. Upon success remove the USB cable and pull battery. Replace battery and boot straight to recovery by holding home+vol up+power until you see tiny blue text in the upper left corner then releasing.
Thankyou! i was able to install the recovery by TWRP.
I just need to figure out what firmware to install and where I can get it... I was on kitkat, I tried to update to lollipop but it didnt work. My phone is bricked so I dont know how i would see the firmware version on it.
I really just want any kind of stable firmware that is rooted. Any ideas where I could find one? I'm trying to sift through the forums
Lots of ROMs are available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development

I appreciate all the help - It seemed really hard because I was finding roms and flashing with ODIN but it always failed TWRP is giving me results. I flashed slimkat and got my phone working again! the only problem is my sound is a bit junky, idk why.
I plan on trying out Octos - M, because I heard marshmallow OS has a lot better battery life among other things
If i upgrade to a custom marshmallow OS, is there any coming back to a former custom OS like 4.4.2? or is it a permanent upgrade?
Do you guys recommend any custom OS? I need something stable, that uses the resources efficiently.
Before flashing additional ROMs, make sure the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem.
To verify the installed bootloader and modem, install the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play store.
With a custom ROM, you can flash from one to another, usually without any issues as long as you perform a complete wipe (system, data, cache) before flashing a new ROM. If you are upgrading an existing custom ROM with a newer custom ROM (e.g. CM12.1 2016-01-01 nightly to CM12.1 2016-01-02 nightly), you can just flash the updated ROM over the existing ROM.
