I've found similar topics but nothing tells where to go if reflashing from Odin doesn't work.
Galaxy s 3, rooted. Wanted to do a factory reset but recovery starts then resets at the blue lettering. When I am able to get into recovery it also shuts down before I can select any options. Also, download mode resets. The only way to get download from shutting down is to repeatedly press the power button.
Mind you, I can start the phone and use it but at this point not having a recovery is really troubling.
Any ideas? I'm not a noob but obviously not advanced.
Reflash your recovery through ODIN
Sadly I've been trying that. It never stays on long enough before rebooting.

If you use cwm download Rom Manager and install recovery that way. If you use TWRP download Goo Manager and reflash TWRP that way.

Cwm will flash. Can still get root. When trying to install another recovery it fails to load.
Even though I know cmw has flashed when I actually go to recovery that won't load. Something is causing the phone to shut down prematurely.

Connect your phone to a computer,.grab the adb binaries (I have them on my dev-host) and type the.following in command prompt window.opened in the directory.where.adb.exe is located
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Or open a shell on the phone and type (press enter between lines):
Code:
su
reboot recovery
For download mode
Code:
su
reboot download
Well. No luck. Was able to flash a recovery by pressing the power button repeatedly. But I still can't get into recovery to use it. Just shuts down.

Pull battery out, get sutff ready prior to odin, eithet recovery or stock img, then put battery back on, then put phone on download mode, vol. Up + vol.down then plug usb, tadda! You're on dowload mod make sure you have the right files, homie, if you are able to boot on recovery right now, that means you can boot into dowload mode just know the right button combo

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.

I have been reading the other threads about similar situation both on here and on galaxynexusforums but I think my situation may be slightly different, if not terribly worse.
I has been running my Verizon Galaxy with BAMF 1.25 and was going to upgrade to 2.4 or whatever is the newest. I was doing it all through CWM recovery, I deleted DATA, and Cache, THEN and where Im pretty sure I screwed the pooch was though CWM recovery I also formatted Data, Cache and SDcard
At that point when I rebooted I got the red triangle with the little android being worked on, I was still able to get in to recovery and fastboot and Download mode, but it would not boot past any of that. My assumption is that I deleted the whole OS and since I formatted everything there wasn't even a backup or any rom to install. Everything was gone. My computer also no longer recognized it as a phone/mobile device or even as storage. I re-installed the all the Samsung drivers and still nothing. My phone is not seen by the galaxy nexus tool kit, odin, or kies
At this point I attempted to go to stock via Odin, to mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8. This failed, I got the big red box in Odin and was going to pull the battery as the Odin faq says and do it again, but then the phone booted in to the dreaded yellow triangle exclamation point. This is all my phone does. I can not boot back into recovery, or download or any other possible alternate.
So this is where I am at, booting to the phone/pda..yellow triangle..computer screen and can go no further and my phone is not seen as a functional device on my PC even after installing driers again.
I do have one of those dongles that force the phone to boot to download mode coming from ebay. but without any OS at all (or so it seems) I dont know if it will do anything. I do have insurance on it so I'm not that worried on it, but I would rather not have to pay the deductible and be shamed for my success at bricking what is supposed to be unbrickable.
any ideas?
I am not very experienced, but can you get into boot menu? (Just volume up + down + power) if so, you might be able to install galaxy nexus toolbox on PC, install drivers from there, download factory IMG on PC and install IMG through the toolbox via usb.. or reflash cwm through the toolbox and recover nandroid if you have it

No, I can't get to any other menu. Power + Vol up or Power + Vol Down or Power + Vol up AND down. Don't do anything. I really think I may have completely formatted the phone to nothing or close too it. I was able to get a new one though warranty however so that should be here in a few days.

I did, try it before I got the yellow triangle and it didnt work. Now I can't in to download mode, and the odin program wont recognize the phone, either do to it not being able to get in to the download mode or because despite reinstalling all samsung drivers, my computer wont recognize the device as anything.

If you can get into fastboot mode, I am assuming the bootloader, then you can use the gnex toolbox and reflash the factory image and start over.

No, like I said no combination of button presses will put the phone into any other mode.
Could have used fast boot to push a ROM to the device, then enter recovery and flash the ROM.

So I'm running an unlocked rogers galaxy note 2 I1737M. I was using clean rom 3.3 then today it just crashed everything. I tried to reboot to recovery and well it got stuck in a boot loop there.

I used the imiage found in the refrence thread of the android develpment. any tips? links? help of any kind? Anything will be greatly apreceated.
worst part is I got it yesterday.

I was using Stock LJ2 kernel CMW-flashable. After several hours of fighting with TWRP I was able to install CWM using odin and got my self out it looks like. The only thing with CWM is that data wipe seems to crash the recovery so I hope this dirty install of the rom I had saved on their works just fine.
I've bought global Galaxy Note 2 N7100 from Hong Kong with Kogan (online store)
Unlocked the device by using this method "How-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method" on google
[Odin v1.85 unknown CWM6 version]
After that, turning off the phone and holding down the Vol Up + Home Key + Power brings up the Galaxy Note N7100 screen, buzzes out and turns itself off.
I rewrote a new CWM recovery mode onto the device and tried it again, same problem.
[Odin v3.04 / ODIN-KashaMalagaTOUCHCWMRecovery-V6.0.2.7]
The next step I was going to take was to wipe the phone and install the stock Kernal, then using ODIN to unlock it again and trying to enter recovery mode again.
If this is the right step, I will do so.
If you could help me, it will be appreciated.
Android version : 4.1.1
Kernal version :
3.0.31-310959

Try TWRP instead of CWM. You can find it here:

You could try rebooting into recovery using ADB from your pc or a terminal emulator on the phone by typing: su reboot recovery

After installing the app Goo.im I installed the TWRP recovery with it and rebooted the device into recovery.
It showed the same buzzing screen and turned itself off.
There is no noticeable file courruption within the phone and everything is just as same when I start the phone normally again.
Could this be a faulty device? If so, can I actually get a refund / return for it?
I also cannot receive my 3G data from my sim when my Galaxy S2 was able to recieve it.
Does unlocking and changing roms affect the availablility of 3G data?

The 1st thing that I do is root with the "how to Root Note 2 [EASIEST METHOD]"at Youtube. like the topic and than after when the rooting process it will restart into recovery mode part at that part when I saw the note 2 word when restart the word were distorted and the note 2 word run everywhere and than become black screen for about 2-3 minit and than the phone restart on back like normal and my phone were rooted and got super user on it and I tested with titanium backup and can be used. After that I try to install cwm recovery and flash the CWM recovery like the app told me to, after that i try to backup my stock rom and than after restart to recovery mode the note 2 word show like when the rooting process the word distorted. After that i try goo manager to flash twrp and try go recovery mode and still same. I did not try to flash back the stock rom. can you guide me what should I do next about the cf root and flash twrp with Odin, i dint try it because Im noob at rooting note 2.
btw thx for reply i hope you can guide me what should i do next.

You can go to twrp site and download twrp for note 2 in tar format so you can flash it with odin just the same way as you flashed cf-root.
Do not use goo manager. For some reason it says that it flashed twrp but it does not flash it.
So in a few words.
DL twrp 2.3.3.2 in tar format.
Open odin and select pda and then select twrp.
Switch off your phone and boot in download mode by pressing volume down+home button+ power botton. When you see samsung logo realease power button. Keep the other two.
Press vol up to confirm
Connect your phone to pc and wait till it recognizes it.
Press start. Wait till finish.
It should be working after this.

I don't know understand what you just said but my phone wouldn't boot properly into cyanogenmod, the screen would flicker around and go all weird then go blank. I then restored to me backup and later made a new backup and tried flashing Cyanogenmod again but the same thing happened. So again I restored to my back up but this time my backup didn't work and is doing the same thing as it did with cyanogen mod - screen flickers and flashes and goes all weird then goes blank

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
