Install CWM on new AT&T S3

Why does this never work the way its supposed to for me??
Anyway, so I just got my S3 and I hate the stock ROM already so I want to go to CM (9 maybe, 10 if it works well). I'm right now just trying to get Clockwork recovery installed and working and seem to be failing miserably. At first it seemed to be going ok, I downloaded Odin 3.04 and a recovery TAR that was on the Android Authority guide for the AT&T S3. I ran the install no problems, and booted into recovery without issue. I then tried installing CM10 and it gave and Status 7 assert failure.
After a lot of digging I finally found some people saying that it was because of an incorrect version of CWM, so I dug around till I found a 6.0.1.0 tar that says its for my phone. I install that and now I can't get into recovery at all. It will still boot into the stock rom but that's it. I saw some suggestions saying that unchecking auto reboot, and f. reset time would fix this so I did that and still nothing. I can't get into recovery at all. Is there a definitive (as in this still works) guide out there somewhere??

Ok so I found some CWM tars that they they're v.6+ that I can get installed (at least I assume so since Odin says it worked) but when I get in there the version listed at the top is 5.5.0.4, should this number not match? I haven't even gotten around to trying to get it to install CM10 yet.

I used rom manager to flash its recovery. No problems what so ever.

By Rom Manager you are talking about the App you use from within the OS? So would I need root for this?

Installed ROM manager....opened it and click install recovery. Done. Yes, you have to be rooted to use that app.

Awesome suggestion! Worked perfectly thank you!!

[Q] Did I soft-brick my GSIII?

I've searched relentlessly for a solution to this, but I haven't come up with anything, so it's time to ask for help.
I just used mskip's Galaxy S3 QCOM Toolkit v2.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682) to flash CWM and root my GSIII. The recovery flashed successfully, using "recovery-cwm-lte-sgs3-v5.tar" included with the toolkit.
CWM recovery works. However, when I tried to boot the phone, I got the first Samsung splash screen, then the screen turned black, a second later the boot tune played (with no splash screen showing), and then... nothing. The blue notification light blinks infinitely, and the phone is unresponsive except for holding the power button down for 10 seconds, which restarts it, and the same thing happens again.
I can boot into CWM recovery, as well as download mode. I tried wiping the cache and doing a factory reset, which changed nothing. However, when I tried to flash a stock ROM (again using the toolkit), I got an "unsupport dev_type" error. I presume that USB debugging has been defaulted to disabled now from this, but maybe I'm wrong. In any case, I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't want to claim that I've bricked it yet, when I have both recovery and download, but I don't know what to do now.
Help?
EDIT: I'm sorry, I forgot basic information : I'm using a SGH-T999 (T-Mobile GSIII).

I would defiantly boot in to cwr and do a clean install on a diferent rom. Not a back up u made with cwr but a .zip rom... n u sgould b ok.. I would try jb smooth

See if you can flash CM10, if you don't have to have stock.

Looks like the toolkit installed an older version of CWM. I flashed 6.0.1.2 via ODIN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30806933) and then flashed CyanogenMod 10.0.0. Works great.
Thanks so much!

Glad you had it resolved. Another method would have been ODIN back to stock.

[Q] Problem flashing CWM recovery N7100 after service.

Hi!
I have a little problem and need a bit of help.
I use to run CM10.1 in a N7100, but I crashed my display and have sended to vodafone service. In order to avoid problem I restock everithing to 4.1.2 reseting flash counter etc.
When sat give me it back it have instaled tipical vodafone crapware.... etc.
At this moment I've try to flash recovery in order to restore my previus backup, but... surprise the recovery do not work. I had installed with heimdal, to avoid some problem I went to Window$ and install it with odin... and nothing, same problem.
I have test with other version of CWM (touch) with the same sinth. But I can root it flashing CF-autoroot.....
This is a link to a video with the extrange efect when I try to enter in recovery. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0kbxdsk0vkzm8h2/VID_20130308_231941.mp4
Some one have an Idea about what's happening and what can I do to recover my nand backup?
Thanks in advance!!!!!!
Ps: I'm using an stock ROM and can be harmful to my health.
UPDATE:
Flashing TWRP 2.4.3.0 recovery works, but with it I can't restore my olds backups.
Could some one with 4.1.2 sent to me the result of:
heimdall print-pid
Update.
At last it was a soft use. Now I have a version who works. @unstableapps give it to me.

No. Not possible. If you can get twrp working then it is some other issue.

Can't install new rom

Hi.
I'm a bit of a newbie to this so please forgive if this is an obvious one for you, but I am having issues trying to install a rom onto my Galaxy Note II GT-N7100. I have already rooted and have Cyanmodgen 10 installed but don't really like it that much so want to try the Android Revolution HD rom. I can get into clockworkmod recovery no problem, but when I select the rom and it starts to flash, it will only get so far and then freeze. I have tried several times, and it freezes at different points. I also tried using the monxDIFIED rom, and have exactly the same problem with this.
Can you advise what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

If I have this right, I believe CWM. I downloaded the toolkit from the link below if that helps. (I added a space in it as I don't have 10 posts yet)

I also have the CWM ROM manager

Try flashing PhilZ Touch from here http://www.mediafire.com/?v6cyi52g2ydbd, select the tar file for the N7100 and flash it with Odin. This should solve your issue. Good luck bro.

Its CWM, this used to happen to me too. I use TWRP now, never had a problem since.

[Q] How to get CWM to work on Tab3 7 T210R

I'm trying to flash CWM on my non-rooted, fully updated T210R. I'm following the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853.
Odin says it flashed successfully, and the tab reboots fine, but when I power off and boot into recovery, I'm getting the stock recovery. I've tried both the touch and non-touch versions, without success.
It's probably something small that I'm missing, but I can't for the life of me find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Wolfgar2k

1.Dont check the autoreboot. Ketut.kumajaya said something about the system is restoring recovery when rebooting
2. Try to redownload the cwm recovery.
3. If that didnt work, What odin are u using? Try 3.07 ..
4. You can also try twrp. I am using twrp and it is working great

I've been using Odin 3.07 the whole time. I tried twrp as you suggested and that worked. Not sure why cwm didn't work, but at least now I'm rooted. Thanks.

I will recreate an autoroot package for you in my spare time. Samsung Android boot image has a known feature to patch the boot image and use it to overwrite the recovery image on every boot. This feature disabled in blackhawk kernel, some recovery has a capability to disable this feature as well.

Yes, you can flash it on stock rom (with CWM), but OTG isn't functioning yet.
