[Q] Recovery doesn't work

I recently flashed my phone by odin because its touchscreen didn't work. it got back to work after flashing. But when I want to go in recovery mode the android and box logos appear but nothing written on the screen and after a while it restart itself. So I can't root my phone!
What's the problem?

I think something with your recovery image is wrong with have you tried flashing it again?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app

I used a stock firmware package.
I didn't tried again because its a risky procedure.

if you in stock recovery, once the green android logo appear, just press the phone menu button, then your screen will dim...
wait for a while, it will lead you to the recovery menu mode...

You want to root your phone?
but let me know something 1st, when you boot your device to recovery, is there something coming like clockwordmod or stock recovery ?
If NO then dont try to re-flash your stock ROM via ODIN, maybe brick your device,
Simple is that. Download ODIN and ClockwordMOD file and turn your device into Download Mode by following link

AND Install any custom ROM
if you have still doubt or problem then message me or reply me here.. i'll give you all method step by step.

just flash the CWM from odin instead. i'm pretty sure it will replace that not working recovery

I've tried alot of odin methods please help !!!!

Okay....
Deep breath....and here we go..
The Odin flashes you are attempting....are failing due too your updated bootloader....(the one you received when you took the official update)..
Nothing you can do about the bootloader now as it can't be reverted....but that's okay....
Here's the plan...
Load up odin and download the UCUCNJ1 rooted rom from the link below...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2973448
Boot the device into download mode and flash the above file...
If the device begins boot....pull the battery and put the phone into download mode ....and flash the same file again...
Once complete...allow the phone to boot and it should start normally...
If it does....then power off and boot into your stock recovery and wipe data then cache and boot again...
You should then have a rooted stock....UCUCNJ1 build...
The reason this works is because your rom image that you flashed does not contain a bootloader image....
Once you are back up and running....you'll need supersu....(the thread explains this in the first post)...
The process to get you going is pretty simple....you just need the right file to flash...
Read that first post....as everything you need is there....g

Help with ODIN.

Hey Guys.
i've got 2 Questions :
my mobile got stuck at Samsung logo due to Full Storage my friends told me to Reset it via odin.
i want to so i downloaded its md5 from Original source and i tried 3 Versions of ODIN 3.04 , 3.07 and 3.11
all i've got odin fail after BcmBP.img
i've searched for that problem and all the solutions i've read is to change the file , use another USB Solt or usb for the mobile
i've tried them all
firstly i'm using laptop and i've tried all the 3 Solts the same problem
and i've downloaded another File still the same
i didn't have Kies to stop it from Task manager and i've stopped Antivirus.
Note : my mobile isn't rooted , it must be rooted to work with Odin ? (BTW it's the 2nd Question ) if it's how could i root it via Laptop ?

Bro it's not how u reset ur phone using Odin..try this-
Switch off ur phone or just take out battery for 5sec and put it back in ..
Now press power+home+volume up button at the same time..
If u press above buttons correctly , u will enter recovery mode there just scroll down using volume buttons and use power button to select factory reset and delete user data and cache.
Done reboot and u will be fine

Thanks for your reply but now i think that my frimware system is down.
firstly it was stuck at samsung logo and it doesn't even open. showing that message Firmwave upgrade has encountered an issue please select recovery mode in Kies.
and i've downloaded recovery (CWM) for my phone and i tried to reset factory in it and reboot the device it shows Samsung GT-i9082 Duos and nothing happens.
CWM has an option that it could install something from SD Card.
that file which i use in Odin would it work if i installed it by this way ?

GT-N7105 bootloops Samsung logo

Trying to fix a friend's GT-N7105. At the moment it just bootloops the Samsung bootloader screen (which shows the model number GT-N7105).
I can boot it into download mode just fine. On download mode it just says that both the "Current Binary" and "System Status" are "Custom".
I've tried flashing the stock ROM for the phone (the latest for the Optus version) with Odin. I've also tried doing a firmware restore through Kies 2. Both of these complete fine, but the phone continues bootlooping the Samsung logo.
I've tried directly flashing the newest bootloader with Odin, and I've tried flashing a custom recovery with Odin. I've tried flashing the stock firmware with the device's PIT file and re-partition selected. Nothing seems to change how the phone behaves. I can't boot into recovery mode (it just continues the Samsung logo bootlooping).
The emmc doesn't seem busted, since it happily downloads the full system.img when flashing. Odin/Kies finish flashing without errors, so I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Make sure that you have pressed power + volume up + home button to boot into recovery (maybe you have known already)
And try to format everything: data, system, cache,...Wipe everything. There should be some adb commands to do it without recovery. After that reflash stock ROM again to see if it work.

Thanks for that. This seems to be for the N7100. I tried flashing that file both as is and when replacing the included recovery with one appropriate for the N7105. Still just boots back to the bootloader (looping, same as before). Certainly didn't make anything worse.
If I leave it alone, sometimes it randomly makes it to the animated Samsung logo, where it plays the boot sound (dun dun dun duuun dun), but then this animation loops forever (I have tried leaving it overnight).

sorry to hear that
i think N7105 differs from N7100 {modem & kernel (boot*img ) }afaik, I cannot confirm
anyhow I did not find an alert from the developer regarding this matter (N7105/N7100) in his post
