as far as i remember the note toolkit has an option to restore stock rom. it leads you through the whole process including downloading necessary files. might work..
or just flash the stock rom in Odin...
Hopefully, you learned a lesson to always back everything up before you make major changes to your rom..

Yes that is what it does.
Here is a signed update.zip that will install the stock build.prop for 5100XXBMF2 version.
Remove your external SD and place the update.zip on it , reinsert your externalSD and boot to recovery.
select update from externalSD.
(should work on stock recovery)
If that doesn't work install a custom recovery (with Odin, see dev section for toolkit , odin is in that toolkit if you open the folder, your tablet needs to be in download mode)) and install it with that.
Then just reinstall stock recovery if you want. Or just reboot as if you didn't remove the recovery from boot.p file your custom recovery will be automatic replaced by a stock recovery when you reboot your tablet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If so you need to download samsung note 2 toolkit. this is here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
ensure you have the correct adb drivers but the toolkit can also do this aswell. you then need to put the system into recovery mode. (I assume you know how to boot up recovery.) You need to install a customer recovery specifically TWRP so boot up the toolkit. select your device and make sure you choose the current version of android you have on it not the version you wish to install. You then need to flass an insecure boot image for correct adb access so choose option 3, follow the instructions select TWRP as your recovery and complete as directed.
Once this has finished you then need to download your rom, if its stock it can be located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849 for n7105 (lte version) and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 for original.
Download the zip and place into the "push_files_here" of the toolkit folders.
Boot into your new twrp recovery
Reload the toolkit, choose your device, choose the option to push the file to your device, select the device, for destination type"/sdcard/" and follow onscreen options until file is finished.
Your file should now be on your phone in the home folder.
Go to "wipe", select "factory reset" now to "install" select your new spangly rom, wipe dalvik cache once completed and wala you should have one shiny new rooted odexed note 2 that sould load fine. Any issues get back to me and i will be happy to help.
I deliberately bricked my device about 8 times to find the best way to recover.

Hi guys i had the Note 5120 running 4.1.2 and all the while rooted with Framaroot 1.60 and had install multi window manager. I did not install custom recovery so i did not have any backups made as im just a simple user and will make use of the root for some enhancements. Today i installed font installer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer. After i chose my desire font, it request for a reboot and i did.
That is where the problem arised. My device is now stuck at the welcome screen with the word Samsung glowing and thats about it. I had done a hard reset but still the same. And i didnt manage to get any further info of my built and anything else *sigh*.
Anyone here be able to help me on this as that is all the rooting i have done on this phone. Never tried Odin or anything else. Hopefully some can help revive my 8 days old Note

Just as i found out about it. I am currently downloading the stock rom from sammobile. Just to be sure that i can place the stock rom in my ext sd card and use stock recovery to flash it after i rename it as update.zip?
you can just do a factory reset in stock recovery and your tablet will go back to factory fresh status..dont bother downloading or flashing anything, just factory reset and you are back to square one
In most cases, you need to extract the tar.md5 file from zip and flash using odin.

Hi everyone,
I had just rooted my stock i747 (Telus) now, and it was all going well until I couldn't boot into CWM. I read this thread (scroll down to bottom where it talks about "What to do if Phone Boots into Stock Recovery (Android Recovery) instead of CWM"): androidtelegraph.com/guide-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300/
In short, I had deleted the two files: "recovery-from-boot.p.", and "install-recovery.sh" in attempt to solve my issue to boot into CWM. Once in CWM, I followed this guide to install a stable CyanogenMod ROM: galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-roms/how-to-install-custom-rom-on-rooted-galaxy-s3/
This is where the trouble begins. First, when I attempted to wipe data/factory reset, there was an error. If I recall, it was an error dealing with the mounting of something (probably the stock ROM). Nevertheless, it continued to wipe the data. Next, when I browsed to find the ROM inside the directory and pressed Yes to start installing the ROM, this is where I could not continue. It gave me an error and I do not know how to fix it. I was wondering if it would have to do with the fact that I deleted "recovery-from-boot.p." and "install-recovery.sh" previously.
What went wrong? What do I do? Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
If you can boot into your phone then just use ROM manager to flash CWM again. You also use ADB.
Your other option is to go into Download Mode and use ODIN to install TWRP.

Basically I would do what the guy told you above. I would also download the ROM you want to flash again and try again without modifying anything. You shouldn't have to modify anything unless the Dev told you otherwise.

Hey guys,
I had a rooted Galaxy Wonder with a custom Rom (TouchWiz, forgot which version). I had CWM 5 and wanted to Install CWM 6 so I can be able to get the Kitkat 4.4 Rom, but unfortunately I soft bricked it. I flashed a custom Rom using Odin 4.43 Multi Downloader and it successfully passed, but with a problem, it doesn't get to the Homescreen and it keeps of rebooting itself all over again. I can get to download mode and to stock recovery. So I thought I could maybe root it again and install CWM 6 to flash the rom.
Now the problem is that when I use the stock recovery (by Holding Vol Up+Home+Power) I don't get to install the root update.zip because it reboots itself after I press the menu button (it writes something about updating then reboots).
What can I do? Is there anyway to Root the device via Odin and install CWM 6 so I can flash a custom rom?
Help!

You don't need to root it again since it's already rooted (when you first installed TouchWiz) and it's not the cause i think.

Well, I didn't know if it is rooted or not and I don't know how to flash Cwm 6 and I can't use the phone normally since it is not able to turn on to the Homescreen.

None. Just a black screen
Edit: I tried flashing now cwm 5 instead of 6 and it worked. I can boot to cwm 5 recovery. But still is there anyway to flash cwm 6?

Just download Phil's Advanced CWM recovery, and flash it (CWM recovery 6.0.4.5) Flash the recovery like any else recovery you flashed.
Download the .op and the cwm recovery (Flashable via odin multi downloader ) Here
And make sure you are running Windows 7, and not Windows 8, I have experienced problems flashing recovery on Windows 8 64bit

this might be the cause, so we need do clean wipe of all the data/ files in your internal storage. We need to make it boot first since it's not just a recovery problem but ROM.
Do you still have the touchwiz rom in your external sd-card? If it's still there, do this steps in cmw:
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 by mistake)
install touchwiz
reboot

install touchwiz (and gapps if you have)
reboot

If its touchwi5, you dont have to install gapps, they are already in there

Corrected. Never knew gapps was already integrated w/ that ROM, never tried it
