Cant reboot into custom recovery!

I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser.
But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery.
I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont.
Why is this happening ?
Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .
Thanks in advance

Since you already have superuser. Why not install via Rom manager or install twrp
Recovery doesn't stick for some weird reason when flashing through Odin on that firmware

Thats weird...so you can reboot into custom recovery a few times and eventually it goes back to stock? Or can you only boot custom once then it reverts?
First, look for these files and if there, delete or rename them.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Then reinstall recovery and see if it works now.
If theyre not there, good!....well maybe!
Have you tried any other method of installing recovery?
Try using my favorite tool, Mobile Odin.
Free lite version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
(Dont forget to download the flash kernel further down the page)
Or buy full version on play store.
Download twrp here:
http://d-h.st/pNQ
Rename to recovery.img
Open Mobile Odin and tap Recovery and select that file.
Do not wipe.
Tap and confirm Flash Firmware.
Let me know how that goes.

Thank you Doc and Teo . Twrp is running good. Did nadroid backup also.

Need help rooting.

Ok so I just bought a s3 on craigslist for 250 that was only used for a week or so. The phone is perfect in All aspects. The morning after I bought it I got an ota for JB. So I went ahead and installed. Now a couple of days later im Trying to root. I can get into download mode and connect to odin install the cwm tar and all goes good odin does its thing and says its has passed. Next I go to get into cwm recovery and it takes me to stock android recovery and wont let me install super user. Ive tried several other tar files hoping they we just bad downloads. My flash counter is at 7 now. Ive looked everywhere I can think of for a fix and find a lot of other things that point in a certain dirrection but I am unsure of which way to go. Any help would be great.

my solution was just to bite the bullet, and odin a full image that was already rooted. Takes a while, but solved my issues.

Uncheck auto reboot in Odin before you flash the tar file, once it's done, unplug your device, and boot straight into cwm recovery, volume up home and power, flash su, reboot,done.

Which image did u flash.
I also tryed the other sugstion and no luck

I would recommend root66 if you just want stock with root injected, with no counter trips. From there you can CWM and play. Enjoy!

Yup. He was a apple fan. Decided to try android. Didnt like it cut his lisses and went back to it. His loss my gain.

If you just odin the cwm tar I dont think it will include the su files. You will need to flash a zip containing the binaries

Hit thanks if you love your phone =)

I just downloaded the latest TWRP flashable zip from the TWRP thread and used CWM to flash it!
Works perfectly.
But I think I had CWM 5. Not sure if it's different for CWM 6.
You can use Odin or Mobile Odin also!
Try it... the worst that can happen is that the phone explodes and your house gets attacked by ninja bunnies.

Yeah, just flash it in cwm, it does the rest by itself.

clockmodmanager. I'm lost can someone help or at least point me in the right direction?

Ok you flashed Jedi, was it thru Odin,, recovery, what? Did you use CWM, TWRP recovery??
Then after root you can't flash anything, huh??
More info on what you did then maybe we can help point you, in the right direction!!

Yes thru oden. Flashed with twrp. When I try to flash any rom I get signature not valid. I installed clock modrecovery because I read you could toggle the signature, but im still getting errors. It just says bad, with ckockmod twrp says signature not valid.

I would fully wipe the device in recovery. . Then boot into download mode and Odin push a stock image to repair the file structure. ..
Most likely you have a bad Odin recovery flash. ..
But the risk in flashing recovery again is further partition damage. ..
The Odin return to stock will repair any possible damage beyond recovery. ..g

Probably right he needs to download goomanager and install open recovery script, then fully wipe aka wipe cache, dalvik, system, and data then flash rom to phone.

Rooted stock builds are located in the development section. ..
In particular. ..find the thread posted by Mr. Robinson. ..titled root 66 UCAMA4 build. .edit: here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650
It is an .img file. ..And is flashed via Odin only. ..
It contains the radio image also. .and is my primary return to stock method. .
The rom is complete and clean. ..And although rooted. .will allow OTA update to UCAMC3 ... (latest build)...if you want that feature. .
As others have eluded to above. ..You must be absolutely sure "what" you are flashing is "correct"...
And the "method" combined with "file type" is appropriate. ..
Otherwise. ..You are in danger of severe file and partition damage which leads to hard brick. ..
Protection of the IMEI and EFS hidden partitions is critical. .otherwise you will kill the device. ..
If you have questions regarding the methods or terminology of any information I've mentioned. ..Please read and understand the steps "before" attempting further flashing. .
We can help you. ..But ultimately. ..You are the master of the flashing domain on your device. ..
Take your time and read read read about every step. .
Then you will own and fully comprehend what is taking place. ..g

Clockwork Mod not staying

So just picked up a new Galaxy S3 AT&T as my old one had a cracked LCD. I rooted using Odin, boot into recovery Clockwork Recovery, installed superuser and rebooted. Afterwards I tried to go back into the clockwork mod recovery to install roms but instead of CWM I was greeted with the factory android recovery screen instead.. I tried rooting a few times, each time shows clockwork mod recovery but after a reboot it reverted. This use to work on my previous galaxy but this new one isnt taking it..
version 4.1.2 Just got it yesterday.. Any idea?

Delete wrong reply

Now I'm curious as to what the reply was LOL

This is not the AT&T galaxy s3 forum. This is the GT-i9300 (international) forum. Top of teh screen is a "type to find your device" box, which you can use to locate the correct forum.
Or better yet, use the /!\ report button to the top right of your post to report it for a moderator to move it to the correct location.

Lol I did not read your post right :silly:

I do apologize I thought this was the US carrier.

Thread moved to AT&T Q&A.
Check for a file named /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on your system partition. That will try to replace the recovery when the phone starts in case it has been corrupted.

Try booting to recovery with Rom manager.

I've tried doing it this way. I have both clockworkmod recovery and Team Win Recovery Project just now.. clockworkmod works via rom manager but TWRP does not.. hmm booting into TWRP takes me back to the default android recovery

Root phone, install super user, restart phone, download rom manager, install latest cwm recovery, reboot in recovery, press reboot phone, disable flash of stock recovery, problem solved.
