T999 Variant of the phone
I have just installed TWRP Recovery, and now the phone doesn't want to boot into recovery mode, I'll pull the battery, hold power+up volume+home button and it'll say RECOVERY BOOTING.. Then I'll sometimes get the samsung galaxy s III logo, but most of the time nothing will happen and it just says RECOVERY BOOTING... then goes to a black screen until I repress the buttons. The phone WILL still boot up into this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089801
I have no idea what to do.
You linked to the Verizon version of TWRP. I hope you didn't flash that one. Use the one in my signature.
1.) try reinstalling twrp recovery through goo manager (make sure it's for your phone)
Or
2.)Boot your phone up normally, go to the play store and download rom manager. Once in rom manager, install cwm (clock work mod recovery) then try booting into recovery.

You need to let go of all the buttons when you see the blue text.
If you keep holding them, it will do exactly as you described.
I think this is the 7th time I have explained this since last night...

No problem. Just remember that from now on most devices will have an FAQ thread stickied in the q&a section, so always check there before posting any questions.

Personally, I just use a "reboot to recovery" app or function in an app (such as goo manager) - that way no need to hold down buttons and time it right.
If you have a custom ROM, it will often have that option when you hold down the power button.

So after rooting my recent Tmobile GS3 and then attempting to flash the overclock my phone simply wont turn on. The root did fine, and I was able to install setcpu and everything but the second I installed the overclock my phone shut down. Now whenever I attempt to turn my phone it just flashes the Samsung insignia and then it shuts down. I can get to the Downloading screen (by pressing Volume down + power + home) but can I do anything about that? If someone can help me out that would be amazing. Thanks.
Also, I tried flashing a stock rom with Odin and it keeps failing. If anyone knows anything thank you.
Can you get into recovery? Volume up + home + power
If so then flash back to a nandroid backup or to a new rom or whatever.
If recovery wont boot, try again but look for blue text at the top right corner that says "booting recovery" when the sammy logo comes up. I've had it where my recovery wouldnt boot but I saw that for a split second when I tried. If this is the case, get back into download mode and flash the insecure boot + cwm again with Odin. Then you should be able to get into recovery.
If Odin fails to flash, reboot you're computer and try a different USB cable.

If you can get to download mode, then you're probably in good shape.
There are a few tricks that can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839
Just make sure when you odin/flash something, you are flashing the correct image for your phone/carrier.
same boat here
well I thought I'd give it a try using instructions here. and now I'm hosed. I was able to root and install the ALLINONE (Insecure Boot, CWM & Busybox) rebooted, super user showed up in apps etc. I thought everything was fine. the next thing I tried was disable boot up animation and now the phone won't boot up at all.
I can get into the recovery and download screens but whenever I try to restore I get "can't mount /sdcard/"
The toolkit no longer sees my phone either. When it's plugged in and the toolkit is active, it just cycles over and over "samsung" then "Samsung Galaxy SIII" logo then black screen repeat.
The toolkit keeps giving message either "device not found" or "Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled".
download mode/ Odin mode is working- I have downloaded the file:
Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-T999_TMB_1_20120523140229_ogindgck8z.zip
but haven't been able to get Odin to load it ... I have to be in download mode for that to work right?
Any tips are appreciated.

Try flashing the same file you did to get root with Odin... then you should at least be able to get in to recovery and from there you're golden.

I tried that a few times to no avail and gave up. figured out that I needed to unzip the stock rom from t-mobile in order for Odin to recognize and load it. That's where I left it last night. So I'm now back to stock and reloading all my apps and settings.
I'm ok with that, this is my first go at flashing/rooting. My phone works ... and for that I'm breathing a little easier. thanks for your reply!

Next lesson I need to study is the full backup so I don't have to re-do everything (took about 1.5 hours) -- the hardest one was my tasker macros.

Hey, I had the same problem. Could only get into cmw 6.0.1.2 and all flashes would just freeze up. I flashed darkside superwipe till it stopped, pulled the battery, flashed an old ics ROM, looked like it froze again so i pulled battery and started phone normally, booted perfectly. Then downloaded ROM manager from play store and flashed cwm. Phones been working beautifully ever since.

No, none of them fully completed, thats why i had to battery pull. For the first several flashes i let it sit for 10min+ hoping it would work itself out, to no avail. The battery pulls were out of frustration. I just did trial and error until it eventually worked. Sometimes you have to figure things out for yourself.

Give this a try:
1) Go to Samsung Kies & download " Kies " on your PC.
2) Run Kies & click on the Tools tab.
3) Select " Firmware upgrade settings " & follow the on screen steps. Depending on your download speed this my take 1hr.
4) Your phone is back to stock ICS 4.0.4. Put this file on the root of your SD card " root.zip " You can also find this zip in the installed folder for Toolkit Beta.
5) Download & install " [APP] Samsung Galaxy S II Toolkit Beta V2.4 *ICS ROOT READY!!!* "
6) Follow the on screen steps to flash CWMT. This will use odin to flash CWM Touch back on your phone.
7) After odin opens click pda & select the recovery file " recovery.tar.md5 " it should be the only file listed.
8) After CWMT is on your phone and phone has rebooted unplug the usb wire from the phone & turn it off.
9) Pull battery wait for 10 sec then replace battery now push in and hold both volume up & volume down buttons at the same time then hold the power button until the phone vibrates. *Do not let go of the volume buttons until you see CWMT*. It will flash the screen one time then you are now ready to flash the root.zip file you put on your SD card.
10) Find the root.zip file you put on your SD card, now flash it *note it may not flash right away just keep trying until it flashes. Then reboot.
11) You should now be stock & rooted & ready to flash your hart out.
Let me know if this helps, I have done this 4x now & it works with no problems.

Hi.
I hope that I choose the right section. I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-9300. Lets say that i was full and wanna try something else so I downloaded the Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit flash recovery insecure image with TWRP, rooted and unlock the bootloader, because I wanna try the Ubuntu Phone. Well later on I found that TWRP wasn't the right choice and because I follow the tutorial probably wrong way I wipe everything. Then I tried to install the cm-10 and error show up. I tried to google it and almost everywhere I read that I need CWM 6. But here is the problem I have on my phone just TWRP and nothing else. How do I put back Android System? I need a help! I spend 2days googling testing and haven't found solutions that works.

You can boot into twrp means of course you can boot into download mode. Or go and ask nandroid backup file for ur device with som1 in that section. Place it on your extrnal memory using adopter and pc and restore backup via TWRP.

God bless you! I was trying 2days get a way out and come up nothing and it's that simple.
Was using the Galaxy S3 toolkit to update cwm, went to flash an AOSP rom intended for d2att models, went to reboot the device... It flashes the samsung logo briefly then sits at a black screen with a solid amber LED. ODIN does not see it, my PC sees the device but I can't flash anything at all. Can't get to download mode either holding the power and any combination of the volume keys does nothing. Someone please help point me in the right direction to fix this. Thanks in advance.
If or PC sees it u could check and see if ADB sees it and maybe wipe and flash from there

If it takes longer than 10 or so minutes, pull the battery, replace and booting into stock recovery. Wipe data and cache. Reboot
It take bit longer than normal but it should boot within a minute or two

I have been trying to root my GS4 since Friday. It will not work. I have the Tmobile version M919.
I did the motochopper one on my Main Win7 computer it fails.
Did it it on the netbook win 7 failed.
Did it on the mac and it failed.
So, I decided to do the oden thing. Well I get to where it says passed. But when I try to boot into recovery it is the android recovery and not CWM. What the heck is going on. Ben at this for 3 days and it is driving me crazy. A friend of mine just got the ATT one. I sent him the info to root it on the mac he did it within 10 min. Mine won't do it. I am wondering if Tmobile has something to do with this. I got an update from them a few days ago.
Anyone have info to fix this problem or is it just me? The only other possible thing that I can think of is this. I have a GS2 and it is rooted. I signed in with my google info on the GS4 which brought some of my rooted apps and some of my superuser, rootchecker and stuff lilke that. Would that stop it from rooting? Sorry for the misspelling.

I clicked on the link and realized I already did this one. Mostly all day was on this one. I can get through the oden part but I can not get it to boot into cwm. Only the android recovery. I did try and flash the file from there but it fails. That is where I got stuck at.

Showed it passed. It rebooted. I chose shut down. Pulled cord out volume up, home button power and the android system recovery comes up. Did this 3 times as far as trying to get into the recovery. I don't get it. Should I do a factory reset on the phone or something just to pull my root checking app, super user stuff off there. Also I did run the zip file a few times earlier today. It did something weird. After the phone rebooted it just kept playing this music over and over. Sounded like upbeat church music I would hear on a Sunday morning.

The phone is off. I push down volume up, home button down and then hit the power button. It comes up galaxy s4 and then I let off the power button and about that time the android recovery comes up. Happens every single time. I have rooted every single phone that I have had. I used to work at a cell phone shop here in Dallas. I am going to make some calls tomorrow and see if I can find someone else to root it and see if they have the same problems. But this should be a no brainer I would think. I just can't figure out why it is not working.
Since nothing is working I just did this.
I reset the phone. Created a new gmail and drop box account. Ran odin on it. Restarted it and same thing again. Just boots into Android Recovery.
it happen the same picture as me yesterday!
