I can't boot into recovery. "ThePeople'sROM" splash page just hangs forever and never goes into recovery.
Methods I've tried to get into recovery:
"Reboot Recovery" from the Power Button Menu when phone is on.
Volume Down+Camera+Power
Volume Up+Camera+power
Your recovery probably got overwritten And for some strange reason your phone still starts up. Anyway just reflash cwm from odin and you should be golden

Could either use fastboot to get into recovery, or simply Odin CWM/TWRP in again.
Btw, TWRP 2.5 is a tad buggy with UI, so you may want to use CWM.
Thanks
I used ODIN to flash CWM and it worked fine. Thanks a lot.
I couldn't figure out how to install TWRP. Does CWM support MTD roms (which I'm currently running) ?

A quick question.
We all boot our Phones into Recovery, (And i do anyway)
Run Update.zip (Fake Flash)
And hey Presto am in Clockwork Recovery,
Is there not way to Flash your Recovery to have Clockwork Recovery as the default recovery,
No more running Update.zip and when you boot into recovery your in clockwork recovery.....
(Yes i know ROM manager and other utility's do that but from the simple power on with Volume button etc)
Use unrEVOked...

Basically with unrevoke, you can permanently flashed recovery of your choice (either Clockwork mod or AmonRa) into your phone. What this mean you can go directly to your recovery (by pressing Vol - and Pwr) without booting into any application or even ROM.
i have flashed to Clockwork Recovery, but i want to flash into AR recovery. i used the unvekoed to flash the customr recovery, after the desire reboot, it is still the Clockwork Recovery. What can i do?
Did you load the AR recovery in unrevoked? Start unrevoked, custom recovery image.
I'm just asking to be sure, not that you mix up names.

yes~~~I have~~~~ but i have rooted b4, after the phone rebooted, unrevoked doesn't show Done!
Ask in the unrEVOked thread
Currently running cwm 3.0.0.8 and CM7 rc1 I believe.
I CAN get into the rom, and everything else on the phone works. However....
I cannot get into recovery in any way. Not by using rom manager, not by holding down the power button and selecting restart into recovery, not by shutting down the phone and rebooting while holding volume down. I get stuck on the splash screen indefinitely every time.
Any suggestions?
Do I need to use an older version of cwm?
I would really like to have recovery back...
Any help appreciated.
Edit: Found a solution. Just had to flash an older version of CWM then flash back to the new version. Sorry for the extra unnecessary thread.
Try to install a new recovery through ROM Manager.
this happens to me whenever I downgrade the CWM from 3008 to 3007, i can never go straight into recovery thatway. I usually flash the recovery from RM twice, and reboot. Then flash into recovery and it generally works.
Don't know why it happens...just does.
good luck!
I used odin to install CWM recovery on SGH-T999 4.1.2 . Then rooted the phone. I also installed Rom Manager with the latest CWM Recovery. I can not get into CWM recovery from either Rom Manager or using the Home/VU/Power buttons combo. It always goes to the Android System Recovery. But if I odin again with no Flags, and pull battery after odin , then I can get into it once by Home/VU/Power. Looks like after 1st boot the other recovery takes over.
I tried removing Rom Manager and installing it , but it did not help. Attahced is the picture of the phone when booting into other Recovery.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I found the fix, when booting in CWM recovery the first time, you have to select YES to over ride the Stock recovery.
I have retried flashing Philz through Odin and it didn't help.
After ROM Manager installed updated CWM recovery would cause infinite boot of recovery reboots.
After flashing Philz it tries to go to Recovery then boots normal.
I need my recovery?
I can boot up regular or download just not recovery.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Go to the playstore and download Goomanager and after it's installed
click the right side menu key and select "install openrecovery script"
wait til it gets done and when its done restart the phone.
After that you should have the best custom recovery "TWRP"
it's the best and easiest to use.
No need to use ODIN to flash/install twrp.
You can also do the same thing using
TWRP Coordinator, with that app simply
select "Install TWRP" from the menu.
Either app is excellent and FREE!
Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestion. I was actually able to install TWRP recovery through Odin and will just leave it at that. I did like Philz but at least I have recovery working again.
Many thanks.

I have been messing with my S3 lately and just tonight I tried flashing the newest compatible TWRP recovery so that I could run SlimBean on it, which is recommended, but after I flashed it, the TWRP recovery, my phone would no longer boot into recovery. It will boot into download and will boot normally. When I try to boot into recovery it shows the "Recovery booting...." text in blue but then goes to a black screen where I can't go any further. I have tried booting into recovery while completely turned off with Volume up + Home + power, with ROM manager and with goomanager. No matter what I try it refuses to boot into recovery. Any help would be very, very, very appreciated!
Where did you get the recovery? Get twrp from my sig and flash via Odin. Should get it going again.

I originally got twrp from their site the first time I attempted to flash it and also tried flashing it directly from goomanager.
Thank you, I'll try it right quick.
*EDIT* I tried the twrp you said to and it crashed my odinv3.07. I'm going to download Odinv3.09 provided by you and attempt it again. Any tips on changing the twrp file from a .zip to a .tar file?
There should be a .tar.md5 fir each version. Use that with Odin. The .zip files are for flashing in recovery, which wont work for you atm.
Sorry about the late reply but after I flashed the twrp from you with Odin v3.09 it booted right into recovery! Thank you so much!
