Can't boot into custom recovery. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have flashed my GN2 with CVM and when I reboot into recovery, the screen goes all jumbled up and then then it reboots and does the same thing and then shuts down. With stock recovery it was fine.
Tried it with TWRP and get the same thing. I've used Toolkit v3 as well to see if that worked but I can't get a custom recovery to work... re flashing stock recovery from Toolkit is fine and it works no problem. Anyone else had this issue? All I want to do is root and try CM 10.1 nightly but can't even get to recovery to flash the ROM. Is there another way to install a ROM? Odin? But then need a .tar of the ROM which I can't find, any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Are you on dll7?
If yes, new bootloader could be a issue

do the recovery with mobile odin

He is for sure in DLL7. I had the same. Twrp 2.3.2.3 works great in dll7 but not the latest one.
Cwm does not work.

DLL7 is a reference to kernel version? What about the ROMs then do they have to be DLL7 compatible? Also where can I get the CM kernel and is that needed for CM 10.1?

[Q] Phone says CWM is installed but always boots to stock recovery?

I'm totally boggled here, I've never had problems like this. I've rooted my T-999, no problems there, but when I install CWM, either the non-touch or touch versions, it doesn't boot into that recovery. When you recovery boot, either manual or through ROM Manager, it just boots to the stock recovery. I've tried re-installing through ROM Manager and through Odin, to no avail. I'm pulling my hair out...help!
Just use the the root 66 method and then use goomanager to install twrp recovery. Did this process for my brothers S III last night over the phone.
I had the same problem before. Tried multiple ways but the cwm recovery will not stick, even though it appears working in Odin. Only way I got cwm recovery to install is by going back to an earlier version os.
You need to find an earlier version of factory stock jelly bean or better yet ics and flash it with Odin. Make sure it's a factory image. After that just root and install cwm recovery with Galaxy s3 toolkit. Then just install whatever rom you like.

Why do all that when you can flash the latest through ODIN; and get the correct partition tables setup, and that has root, and then install the recovery via an app? Seems more logical to me.

I was not aware you can install the recovery through an app. I'm not familiar with the process so maybe you can talk the op through it.
When I had my problem with the cwm recovery not sticking from Odin, it was when the jelly bean update was just release for T-Mobile. Just letting the op know that I had the same problem and how I got it working.

Okay I thought I was missing something. Ya the new update surprised me as well last night with ODIN not working to flash a recovery. It's available in CWM app ROM manager I prefer TWRP though which is available in GooManager via menu>Install OpenRecoveryScript>yes> so long as it says "2.4.1.0" and "D2TMO" then yes and boot recovery to install from there.
I followed mt3g's advice and did the root66 method and then installed via ROM Manager and I had success. Flashing a new ROM now. Thanks!
Cool bro.

[Q] Softbrick/bootloop

So, I decided to root my wifes Galaxy S2 due to it being a little older and to get more out of it for her, however I seem to have got my self stuck in a bootloop.
-Downloaded Odin, flashed CWM recovery and rooted phone all relatively easy and with no issues. However I wanted to get CM 10.1.2 stable cuase thats what i run on my Nexus 4. Before i flashed, i ran a Nandroid backup from cwm and did a wipe data/factory reset and rebooted. this is where i got the boot loop, on the T-mobile screen. Tried restoring from the back up, and still boot looped. tried flashing CM and it boot looped on the CM splash screen. On the CM forum it seems someone else had this issue and that kinda how i got pointed here. CM Admin suggested downloading an updated Bootloader. I honestly looked all over this site and couldnt find ANYTHING. I can still get into Download mode, and Recovery mode with no issues.
Thanks for your time

I will try that, I use TWRP for my Nexus 4. That being said, do i have to go back to stock and unroot, or just flash TWRP and attempt to install CM?

Cannot install customer ROM

I rooted and installed CWM recovery but cannot flash any ROMs. Not sure what is going on

If you don't tell us why you cannot flash any rom, it would be impossible to provide assistance.
When I try to flash a Rom, it fails everytime and then I am stuck in recovery mode and cannot reboot at all. If I knew why then I could probably fix it.

Maybe a problem with the recovery you installed? I flashed CM11 with Philz CWM

In my case, when I install CWM recovery using odin, it installs sucessfully, but when my phone reboots after the download, and then I try going to the recovery, I still get the official Stock recovery.
Same

Not only you, many other users like us got the same problem.
When we install CWM using Odin with Auto-Reboot turned on, it says pass and reboots the phone. But when we go to the recovery mode, the Stock recovery is still present there.
Secondly, when we try installing CWM using Odin with Auto-Reboot unchecked, the phone freezes on the downloading screen after downloading it, so we have to remove the battery, put it back inside, and go to the recovery. At that time we can see CWM recovery, but when we reboots system and then later when we have to come back to recovery more, the stock recovery pops up again.
This kind of problems are being faced by many Samsung Galaxy Grand duos GT-19082 users.
It would be really appreciated if someone knows the solution and could help us.
Thanks!

Stock recovery fix

As the title says, i need a fix to fix my broken stock recovery. Running stock rom UBNG3. I found a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932327 but its a fix for Galaxy Note. Don't know whether this could be flashed on my phone. Although I think that if the above fix is flashable it could solve the gallery app bug but don't know for sure.
Let me explain the whole story. Back in the days when 4.2.2 rom was leaked i flashed it and then flashed the official 4.2.2 rom but since then my recovery is broken. I did not care about it until now when i wanted to root my phone. Flashed cwm recovery a number of times but kept booting into stock. An option in the rooting guide suggested to re flash the whole rom but setting up the phone again is not an option for me. Its just a big pain. What i want is a fix to fix the broken recovery so that when i flash cwm, it actually shows up.
Thanx for any help anyone could provide.

From 4.2.2 you need to flash ur recovery using ODIN.
