Galaxy S3 from at&t, i rooted my phone as soon as got it several months ago, I've flashed colockwordmode 3 times in the last day or so and i cannot make to work, i followed the steps exactly as described, Odin is showing the green pass, the binary cont is increasing every time I've tried but i can't get the phone to start in recovery mode by holding volume up, home and power! it just reboot and turns the phone on or it goes into the Samsung recovery mode (blue screen). Very frustrating!, anyone can please help.
BTW, when i rooted my phone i installed clockwordmode then and it worked fine, i had not has to use it since, I'm running the stock ROM i want to flash another ROM, before i do that i need to use clockworkmode and that's when i realized that it was not working anymore, then tried to flash it 3 times but no success. I still have root.
Have you tried twrp?

This will happen until you load a custom rom I believe. Same thing happened to me then when I installed a rom it started being able to boot into cwm

flash recovery again in odin but make sure the "auto reboot" box is NOT checked. once its done flashing, unplug it and remove the battery for a second. replace the battery and immediately hold down vol up+home+power. this should take you into cwm if it flashed correctly
this could happen when you didn't root it properly
anyways, if you are rooted(as you said), get twrp and see
+1 for twrp

If you still have root, you might want to try installing CWM directly from your phone, using the dd terminal command to copy CWM into the right partition:
Download the latest CWM .img file from CWM's site: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Put the file in your phone. For simplicity reason, I would suggest you put it in the root of your internal SD card. And because you will need to type the whole path+filename in the terminal in your phone, I would also suggest you rename the file to something simple, like cwm.img;
If you don't already have it, install Android Terminal Emulator;
Now, open the terminal emulator, and type the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/cwm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
(That is, if you rename the CWM file to "cwm.img" and you actually put it in the root of your internal SD card. If you put it somewhere else or did not rename your file, you will need to adapt the "if=" part of the command.)
Profit.

Just curious: are you trying to flash CWM via Odin? If so where did you get it from? Did you install a botched version of stock recovery maybe (or one that is from another model of S3)? Try TWRP from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28019751&postcount=1. It is at the bottom of the post and it is labeled "Odin Flashable TWRP Recovery" under Miscellaneous files. Download and install via Odin.
And if you are on Jelly Bean, your flash counter will increment in your dealings with custom recoveries and roms. You only option at this point (if you have root still) is to get Triangle Away and run it in order to reset the counter. However, even if you clear your flash counter, if you go back into recovery it will trip again.

I'm still using stock ROM, i'd like to install a custom ROM but i'm reading that you have to have Clockworkmod to do a successful install.
When i check in the files of the phone (sd card) i can see the clockwordmod folder in there there but still can't get it to boot into cwm recovery, only the Samsung recovery and I've tried the volume up home and power button so many times but no success.
Why do you think it worked when i first rooted the phone and not now?
this is frustrating, thanks for the help.

Yes I've tried 3 times via Odin, i can't remember where i got the cmw file from, it's a tar file (clockworkmod.TAR), the part i don't understand is why when i first rooted the phone in August cwm worked, i used it to install the root and now after trying to install it again 3 times i can't get it to work.
I'm using the stock ROM, not jelly bean.
thanks for any help

Download goo manager app and open that. There will be an option to "install open recovery" in the menu. Voilà a superior recovery that's easier to use
You can even use it to boot into recovery or install the new update for it.

Easiest way to install TWRP is using GooManager from the Play Store.
1. Open GooManager.
2. Press the menu key to open the contextual menu, and select Install OpenRecoveryScript.
3. The app will ask you to confirm you really want to install a new recovery image.
4. GooManager searches for the correct TWRP build for your device. Look at the Filename line, it should display openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-d2att.img for AT&T or openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-d2can.img for Rogers/Bell/Telus. Again, confirm the installation.
5. Wait for the download to begin. TWRP will install. Done.
If it does not work or if GooManager does not find the correct build for your device -- in this latter case, this should raise a flag for you, as you may not have a SGH-i747/SGH-i747M; double check your phone model --, you can always install TWRP manually. From TWRP website (http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2), you can grab the IMG file to manually install from the terminal emulator, and a TAR file to install using ODIN.

So if that's the case (This will happen until you load a custom ROM) how can i back up my stuff before installing a new ROM? that's the reason i was trying to make cwm work so i could back my stuff.
Is there a different way to do a full back up?

if you have root, download Rom Manager and install cwm from the menu.
i've also heard that, if rooted, you can erase /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) an that will make cwmstick. this is due to newer software versions overwriting your stock recovery on reboot.

Hi guys,
I've tried to root my device using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2
I used method 2 because I wanted CWM.
I found that when Odin reboots the phone it goes straight into Android itself, not the recovery CWM. I disabled the autoreboot and flashed again and manually rebooted but still my stock recovery persists, not CWM.
What can I do to get CWM?
Thanks in advance!
It should work.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
It will have CWM flashed. Maybe you should just tick the auto reboot option then when the OS loads up shut down your note and boot to Recovery.

when I boot into recovery it's the stock one, but it shows the status as custom. And the count increases with each time I run it through the ODIN process.
Any advice guys?
Maybe your flashable odin cwm file does not properly work. Something is wrong, Try to reset your flash counter with Triangle Away. Then proceed with installation.

Thanks for the help thus far! Just a question, does the flash counter value matter? Or can we continue flashing on top without harm?

It matters for me, I have an S3 mini and when my counter goes up, I can't use my back and menu buttons. In some cases you can just continue flashing.

I had to donit the same way...flashed a pretty rooted ROM...then using mobile Odin and latest philz touch I flashed it and it works..
Hello,
My unrooted At&T galaxy s3 will not go past the Samsung Galaxy SIII splash screen. When I enter recovery it just gives me a dead android guy.
I had this problem before and to fix it, I used odin to flash the stock 4.0.4, then I flashed 4.1.1 (I think these are the correct versions, I followed instructions here), then my phone wouldn't OTA update to touchwiz 4.3 so I flashed it using recovery mode using instructions and files I found here. The phone worked fine for a few weeks after that, but then started to reboot randomly and delete apps. Eventually it just stopped working all together which is where I am now.
I tried to install TWRP using odin which odin says worked but when I try to go to recovery mode I still just see the dead android guy. The phone did not have USB debugging mode turned on so I am not sure if I could install a custom recovery at all.
I tried the CF-auto root that I found here which got partway through and then failed.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Is there a stock touchwiz 4.3 rom that I could flash using odin??
Thank you very much, please let me know if you require any more information, I really want to get my phone working again.

It almost sounds like you're dealing with a situation I'm having on my galaxy tab. It has the internal SD chip going bad. I had to use a rom specially made to boot from a partitioned external sd card. Sorry, I can't help more, but the symptoms seem similar.

Try flashing the TWRP again with Odin, but make sure the auto reboot option on the left is unchecked in Odin. After flashing, unplug the phone and then hold volume up + menu + power buttons at the same time until it reboots.

Only other thing right now is to make sure you have the latest odin, which is 3.09

Yes it did, the first time that this started happening. But I was unable to do that again, I thought since I flashed all the way to 4.3 and I read that once you go to 4.3 you can't go back. Is that correct?
Thank you for your help. I was hoping to try an odin flashable touchwiz 4.3 but I can't seem to find one.
So you had 4.04 on your phone and you used OTA updates to get to 4.3? If this is correct, then you can't flash a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM because it has never been made available to the public; therefore, the only 4.3 ROMs that may work are based on the leaked AT&T 4.3 ROM or compiled from an OTA update.
Once of these ROMs may get your phone going again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233

Did you try installing Philz Touch from Odin? As was suggested earlier, don't use auto reboot. Once Philz has been installed and you see Reset in the window, disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, wipe and flash a custom ROM. This may help you get your phone working for now.

Nope, USB debugging will not make a difference.
The latest Philz Touch is based on the latest CWM. After your flash Philz, are you letting the phone auto reboot on its own after flashing in Odin?
I know of no way to convert a custom ROM so it can be flashed in Odin.
Hey guys I was recently trying to flash back to stock so that i could carrier unlock my device, but when I was trying to flash using cwm, I kept getting status 7 error, so I read up on that and learned that cwm doesn't like certain roms.
After reading that, I used twrp, which allowed the rom to flash.
Now's where it gets bad..
the rom was booting fine, until i realized it was stuck at the boot animation for about 10 minutes.
I went back to the thread and asked how long it should take on first boot, they said 4 mintues...
I can't get back into recovery mode.. (actually i could never get into recovery mode using hardware bottons, i had to use apps such as ROM Manager)
I'm trying to use odin to flash recovery img, but no dice..
Can someone please tell me what I should do?
You can't go back to stock through recovery. You have to flash the stock image through Odin.

My phone is not booting into recovery at all, when I hold down the vol up + home + power it just loops. It keeps giving me a message about my kernel. I know there are a lot of other threads regarding looping issues, but are still able to get into recovery. I've spent hours trying everything I have come across that might seem to work and nothing has. Does anyone know of a way to use Odin from a PC to fix this issue?? I attached a screen shot of the files so far that I have tried using through Odin on my computer and a couple others. I'm very desperate at this point for any advice!! Thanks...

My phone is not booting into recovery at all, when I hold down the vol up + home + power it just loops. It keeps giving me a message about my kernel. I know there are a lot of other threads regarding looping issues, but are still able to get into recovery.

have you updated to the kitkat bootloader. if you have and try to use the cf root made for our device the recovery is no longer usable. google search cf auto root for n9005 kitkat. that one works though it will install the recovery for the n9005 but is functional other than that i would say go to sammobile.com and make an account (free) then download wich ever version you had running wether it be 4.3 or 4.4 then use 7zip and extract the recover.img then flash that using odin.....

I used the ROM Installer app and downloaded the Pac-Man Rom + Gapps, booted into recovery (using twrp.) I then wiped the data, cache, dalvik, and then tried installing the zip files i had downloaded. It would at first just reboot my phone normally and so I downloaded the a aokp Rom off the internet and onto my flash drive, then used a cable to attach both the phone and drive and tried installing the Aokp ROM. That then put my into a loop, I was able to get out of it by using Odin and flashing the openrecoverytwrp.2.6.3.0.img which got me booting back to normal. Sooo I then tried again and then lost the option of getting into recovery.
Their ROM is 4.4. What boot loader do you have. Did you update to kit Kat?

OK do this go to sammiemobile get the factory stock. Flash thru Odin. Then reboot make sure it stock. Download to your PC the ROM you want. Cf auto root and the recovery you like for kit Kat. Don't use any app to download anything. Once you set. Then do the cfautoroot. Let that cycle. Then flash recovery thru Odin. Then reboot. Then power down and reboot into recovery . it works .good. Boot up then add ROM to SD reboot recovery and flash. Done.
Factory wipe before going stock.

Make sure you use the proper cf auto root and cwm or twrp

You don't keep holding those buttons when the red and blue and yellow words pop up do you? Our phone allows us to hold the power button for about 6 seconds and it will reboot.
Let up off those buttons you're holding when trying to boot into recovery as soon as you see the blue and red and yellow writing.
The blue writing states that you're already booting Into recovery.
Tl;dr You're holding the buttons too long after it reboots. Let off them.
Eek, I just read the steps you tried to resolve this. Sorry you had to go through that. I don't think that was your issue, but I just thought I'd throw my 2cents in
BTW if this is not the case, then disregard please.

I did exactly what you said and it worked! I appreciate your help!!!!!! I just downloaded the stock firmware and my phone booted back to factory settings. I haven't rooted it yet. I have a few different cf auto root files, is this the correct one CF-Auto-Root-hlte-htlexx-smn9005.tar.md5?
Just out of curiosity, which back up do you prefer cwm or twrp?

Yeah it's all good, I got it fixed finally. I'm not exactly sure what my issue was I'm just glad it's working. I tend to try different things with my phone or phones i've had in the past without, I just wasn't careful enough to what I was doing I guess. Are you running cm ROM on your N3?

Yup that is the right cf auto root. I have flashed both recovery thru Odin. Work great both times. I used cwm up until 3 days ago. Switched because one of my friends was having issues and wanted to make sure it was not a recovery thing. Been on twrp and it good. Glad I could help you. Enjoy the greatness of this phone.

Dam it i got the same problem but i really can't boot into recovery or download mode. Anyone know how i can adb into download mode?
Edit: Figured it out... thank god.
Just a heads up. Next time to save time of a huge file download. Just download another Recovery for your device. You flashed a corrupt recovery which caused your phone to not go into recovery at all. Always ensure the model # matches yours also.

Also flashing CF-Auto Root does not help a bad recovery fix, it just roots your phone, so you flashing CF AutoRoot was of no use at that point.

The reason he got the bootloop was cause cf root does it. That is why he needed to download the cf auto root euro version.

I don't think its that. If it is their post should be in the International Note 3 9005 thread, not T-Mobiles thread, and seeing that they have been rooted before ( i know because thats the only way they could reboot to recovery with rom manager) they must have used the n900t CF AutoRoot which is correct if the person have the T-Mobile version. Reading through and seeing that they never confirmed or have been asked for their phone model, just the second post person suggesting stuff for the 9005 without questions, since he/she said they haven't rooted yet after successfully booting up from the stock flash, he/she haven't used the 9005 Auto Root as yet which I think they shouldn't as they might brick their phone. His recovery went bad after he flashed the wrong recovery to their phone.

Let's agree to disagree. But if you check chainfires tweet he even said to use the cf euro version because it plays right with the TMOBILE. I have helped may bootloopers with just changing the root method. Just ask the op. He tried just the recovery with bootloops. And it was the right one cause he used the one I used.
