Stuck on unrevoked "rebooting into recovery"

My DINC is latest Gingerbread 2.3.4.
I'm trying to get rid of the awful 'low memory' problems that I'm having on a daily basis.
I'm following this XDA guide
[HOW TO] Fix the "Low on space" problem (in plain English)
The PC drivers got installed fine.
But when I run unrevoked 3.22 it gets stuck on 'Rebooting into recovery'. At that point the phone shows the screen: ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 (the screen has 9 selectable options in blue text). I can select the first option 'reboot system now' and the phone seems untouched. I've tried it a few times but keep running into the same problem.
Any ideas??

If you're in Recovery (oh that sounds so rude lol) press the optical button to select options. The power button functions as the back button while in recovery.

Trying to be delicate you're done! you now can download this file from androidsu (removed for it being junk) and then put it on to your SD card and flash it by going to install zip from SD and then find this file and say yes to flash. It will flash the superuser binary and the application effectively rooting your phone. you may also want to flash the s-off tool from unrevoked called unrevoked forever from here to give you the ability to flash alternate radios or splash screens or whatever you decide to!

I'm done? Sorry but I'm a bit confused - The instructions say in the last step:
-Once it's done, unplug your phone and ensure that a "Superuser Permissions" application is inside your app drawer.
Shouldn't I be seeing a new app named 'superuser permissions'? Since there's no app with that name I assumed unrevoked did not complete it's process.
Can I somehow verify that unrevoked was successful?

The fact that it has flashed clockwork is success enough, I know you want to be thorough but I have done this with my own phone as well as a friend's with perfect success of rooting the phone. My Inc now runs ics with perfect ease after completing the process you have. And trust me, the hardest part is behind you. If you download the files I cited above then you will flash them both using your new recovery then you will be set to do endless nods to your phone. My advice though before flashing anything to your phone is to check the Md5 carefully to male sure you don't flash corrupted files to your phone

u can verify by going to google play and download root checker or download whatever app that need root to function.
as for superuser app, sometimes that app just didn't show, in order for it to show is you have to manually flash it in clockworkmod recovery, just like nschiwy say. its actually fine to do that so don't be worried , as a precaution cek the MD5 to make sure you dont flash a bad zip file.

if im not mistaken the latest superuser version is "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip" if ur using this then the MD5 would be b897748a40980ec32998a33f42338b5e

For some reason your md5 number doesn't match with the md5 I downloaded of either the 3.1.3 zip mentioned in this thread, or the 3.0.7 zip you mention.
Can you provide a link to the md5 info?

I have a bad situation here - my DINC is now stuck rebooting over and over into the white startup screen.
Here's what I did -
I copied to my SD card the 3.1.3 zip file that nschiwy linked in his post. Then I did this:
6.) Power down, then go back to hboot. Use the volume keys to select "Recovery", press power button to select and enter Clockwork. Now select "Install zip from SD card", then "Choose zip from SD card", then navigate to the Superuser zip you placed on the card in step 3. Select and load it. (NOTE: For those that don't typically load zips directly in CWM, use the trackpad button to make selections in CWM, the power button brings you back one menu.)
All this went fine. I used the Recovery command 'power off'. But then when I powered up it now is stuck in reboot. I did flash again from the zip file on the SD card, but same problem.
I see the troubleshooting tips posted here (I will copy it below). Pulling the battery didn't help. And I can't seem to reflash from the unrevoked app because my DINC just keeps boot-cycling...
What shoudl I do??
My phone keeps rebooting over and over and I can't do anything!
Pull out the battery, wait for 15 seconds, and put it back in and turn the phone back on. If it still keeps rebooting, pull out/re-insert the battery again, go into hboot (see above answer) and try the following steps. You can stop as soon as one of them works!
1. Restore a backup that you made in a previous step (if you have one).
2. Reflash the .img file from Step #8.
3. Flash the .img file here: http://dinc.does-it.net/wildstang83_...2_11232011.zip (note: this one will take you back to stock, so you'll have to start the guide over).

as far as my understanding of those words, i think its like this :
1. skip cause u dont have 1
2. reflash clockwordmod but since ur phone keep bootloop, i think u gotta flash it in HBOOT.
3. reflash rom by going into clockworkmod recovery and install zip from sdcard.
again cmiiw.
btw can u go to clockworkmod recovery via recovery in HBOOT menu? if u can i think u can skip no 1 and 2 and just go install zip from sdcard in clockworkmod recovery menu.
but idk if its save to do that.

[Q] Rooted with Odin biut stills says its not? Help?

Good Morning XDA!!!
I went through the Odin Rooting process last night and everything went as planned. I downloaded CWM Manager through Google Play and when I go to open it up it is telling me that the Super User file is not there. I have put Super USer on my phone but again it tells me I need to root my phone. I will admit I am a bit confused, I can boot into CWM mode but since I am not flashing a new rom at the moment I don't know what I did wrong. I did go into the CWM manager to "Flash ClockworkMod Rocovery" but it downloads then tells me there was na error with command lines..........Is there anyone who can help me out.....I really don't get where I went wrong, cause everything says I rooted the phone.....Thanks for any help......

Yes I did but it also was telling me that it wasn't rooted.....however the only thing that I had was the Superuser App. Is there something i need on the SD card? Or to psychically flash to the phone.....thanks for getting back to me with this....

Go into Settings>Apps>Superuser and clear cache and data. Go into the market and go to SuperUser and see if there is an update. This should update the binaries. Then try a Root App to see if you get the SU toast.
2nd option is to boot into recovery and go to wipe /Cache then advanced and wipe /Dalvik-Cache. While in Advanced, hit Fix Permissions and let it run. Reboot and try a Root App.
Btw, you never said how you rooted. Your title says Odin, so I am assuming mrRobinson's method.

Sorry about that......I used the method from this site....http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-t-mobile-easy-root-99302/
It did everything that was explained was supposed to happen.....its just I get the feeling I missed something somewhere.....I hope this helps....I haven't rooted anything in years.....lol

Ok, so you downloaded ROM manger from the market and tried to run the recovery script and it is saying that you don't have Root correct?
I agree, I think that you did miss a step somewhere. I suspect it was in between the CWR and SuperUser zips.
Are you familiar with Odin? I assume so since your first post said you Odin'd, but just double checking. I suggest you either start over from the link you posted or try mrRobinson's method. It is real easy and gives you stock ROM, rooted and has the option to install a custom recovery (like CWR or TWRP) also.
Here are Odin versions of both CWR and TWRP. Do this after you've done mrRobinson's method. Once it is done with first reboot (don't forget this take the longest time to boot bc it is rebuilding the /Dalvik), reboot back into download mode and flash either CWR or TWRP that way and you should be good to go after that.

The last phone I rooted was a Mytouch 4G. I am not familiar with Odin. I just went to the site that I posted in my last reply and followed the directions exactly. I only downloaded the IMG file for ClockworkMod that it supplied. It never told me to install or download a SuperUser zip file. I can boot the phone into CWM after shutting down, but when I open the CWM Manager that I downloaded from Google Play it tells me the following:
" You must root your phone for ROM Manger to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
I am a uber novice. That's strike one....two....I'm a girl.....lol I just don't want to mess up my phone....it was really expensive......lol Thanks again for all the help you are giving me......it is greatly appreciated......

Ok then. I think you missed something then.
Let's do this. You want to download the latest version of Odin (It is here aboout half way down). Install it on your PC.
Then go to mrRobinson's thread and download this This is based off of the stock image TMO T999UVALH2
Perm Mirrorownload - MD5 Sum: 4abdcf029f248e66caa83c9c8477bdff root66_TMO_T999UVALH2.7z
and follow the directions. Unzip it and put the Root66 file on you PC where you know it is. Put your phone in Download Mode (see instructions in the link above on how to do this) and open Odin.
Click PDA in Odin and point it to Root66 file from above and make sure that nothing else is ticked above or below PDA. Click start. It should take about 5mins but less than 10 and you'll reboot and have a Pass.
Once that is done and your phone is rebooted, you can either install CWM or TWRP in odin or from the market. CWR= ROM Manager app; TWRP=Goo.IM app. Those will install your custom recovery.
Above all read the OPs f the threads I linked. They have valuable info in them.
Also, just because you are a girl has nothing to do with it. I know a few girls and women that are power users and will run circles around most in this forum. Don't sell yourself short.
I gotta get to work, but I'll check in on ya later on. Good luck.

You go girl, do your thing...lol i'm happy it worked. Now happy flashing :thumbup:

Good job man. Looks like we may have converted another crack-flasher.
Jinx, first thing you need to do is boot into CWR and make a Nandroid. Save a copy of it to your PC for safe keeping. This will help you recover from any "mishaps".

Why it didn't work
When the phone reboots, it destroys the flags on the root software that was added via Odin.
To get around that problem,
do the odin process again, but uncheck the auto reboot before you start.
Then when the process is finished, take out the battery on the phone.
reinstall the battery after a few seconds, and then....
BE SURE YOU DON'T MISS THIS STEP,
GO INTO cwm PROCESS TO FLASH THE FILE YOU LOADED WITH ODIN.
if you miss the 3 button CWM load it messes up the file and you again have to reload it with odin, so that part is where you might be having the phone not actually root.
Go to this website and watch HOW TO DO IT till you can do it in your mind without any missteps...
Then, It WILL WORK!

I tied to flash the pac-man 4.2.2 ROM to my rooted s4. It worked but all the Google apps did not come with it... so I downloaded an app package off of GooManeger. Anyway after reboot it was obvious the app package was not compatible. Wiped phone, then no ROM, no OS, no nothing. Device doesn't get past initial boot screen. I can get into download and recovery mode. Not really sure how to download anything on my phone right now as my computer doesn't recognize it anymore. My recovery mode is TeamWin. I'm sure there's more you want to know so please ask and I appreciate your help.

You need to start from scratch using ODIN and flash the stock/non rooted Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S4 M919 firmware.
(using download mode in the phone)
Here is the download link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/213469534/9ff06bd/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip.html
After the odin flash you will need to root the phone unless you want to keep it stock.
Good luck!

You may have wiped the /system folder which may explain why your phone is stuck on the booting sequence. As the poster said above, use Odin to flash the stock MDL and root again. As far as your computer not recognizing it. Put the phone into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power), plug the phone into a different USB port (and let the drivers install if it's the first time you're plugging your phone in that port for Windows users), and then open up Odin and flash the stock firmware from there. Let us know if Odin recognizes your phone.

If you can still get into download mode and recovery, you are NOT totally bricked.

Recovery is not working
Got phone back to normal, then accomplished root access. Downloaded clock work and now recovery mode does not work. I downloaded CW from hot file. I was sure to download the right one for my phone... anyway I cant factory reset at the moment, it just sticks at recovery boot screen. What I'm trying to accomplish is download CW, pacman 4.3 ROM, and Gapps.

What I'm trying to accomplish is download CW, pacman 4.3 ROM, and Gapps.

You gotta be careful where you're getting your files from man.
Try Philz CWM flash via Odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322676
You could also Odin back to stock (you know how to do that now:good
Root again and use ROM Manager to install CWM.

Start using and MD5 hash checker to make sure your downloads are not corrupted. :silly:
Odin back to stock and re-root. IIRC, CWM should be available from the Play store where you can then open the app and install/update the libraries. Didn't Pacman ROM include CWM?

Thank you guys for the advice. Super usefull
I was under the impression I needed to download a download a recovery mod first. Where is the best place to get my ROMs? I'm real interested in the pacman. I extracted the pacman files but it wont plug into the PDA in Odin. Also MD5 hash checker is something I've never heard of..

What? You don't install Pacrom through Odin. You flash the zip in recovery.

The app in the Play Store is call ROM Manager, you can use it to install CWM recovery.

You need to have a working custom recovery first. Like Skipjacks stated, you flash ROM in the custom recovery.
I think you should start from the beginning and take it step by step.
I assumed at this point you're rooted on the stock ROM with stock recovery?
If not lets get to that stage and we can go from there.
-Stock ROM rooted with stock recovery
-Flash custom recovery
-Nandroid backup
-Flash custom ROM<<You are here
Let us know when you're ready for the next step.:good:

Derp moment. CWM != ROM Mgr. :silly: Thanks for the clarification.

I did it all with exception of flashing the ROM. Every time I try to flash the pacman 4.3 it fails. Any suggestions on how to fix that or should I turn my attention so a different ROM. I'm going for optimization and complete customization, without needing a launcher. Or maybe a suggested ave to customize touch wiz to the fullest.

Flashing the TWRP is the same way as you flashed Root.
Is this what you used ?
CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
If so ODIN was in there.... You are using the same method to flash the custom recovery. If you didn't use that file above, that may be part of your problem.
The only way to get rid of the Knox messages is to disable it. Flashing the Update SU file will do that.

That is fine.... That file was in the zip file I posted....
You flash the recovery file the same way.. Then you follow the instructions to boot into recovery. After you copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip to your external sdcard or sdcard.
Then follow the TWRP flashable zip install instructions. Takes less than 15 minutes for the whole process.
After it flashes, go to the supersu app, click it should pop and ask to disable Knox.
Or try and reflash the CF-auto-root file since you have done that already. Pay attention to the status screen makes sure it completes successfully.

So I pretty much have Flash the recovery file to install CWM correct? And then I boot into recovery mode, So I could then flash the superuser update? I think thats how it goes.. Lol im sorry it's kinda confusing.

Correct. The recovery file is the custom recovery.
There are two main types of custom recoveries.
- CWM, ClockWorkMod, which comes in a touch format or a format you need to use your power button, up/down volume keys to navigate.
- Or TWRP, Team Win Recovery Project To start with use TWRP, I think it is the easier of the two to use.
You have the steps correct.
1. Flash the TWRP custom recovery file in ODIN. (same method you attempted with the CF-AUTO-Root)
2. Reboot into recovery.
Power off phone.
Wait a minute and turn it back on. To boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) while it is powering on. Do this quickly after turning phone on, within seconds of powering on.
3. You'll see a screen that says Team Win Recovery Project at the top with about six grey buttons on a black background
Click install.
Upon hitting Install, you’re presented with the files and folders on your phone’s storage, from which you can select the file you want to flash. Find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip.
With the file selected, you can swipe the slider to confirm and start flashing the selected file.
4. Once the flashing process is complete, TWRP gives you some handy options for quick access to certain tasks that many users would need to perform after flashing, eliminating the extra steps required to pick them from their individual sections. These include wiping cache and dalvik cache, and rebooting the system, in addition to a Home shortcut.
Click reboot. Then go to SuperSU app and test it.

Close your eyes and erase CWM from your mind.... Think happy TWRP flashing thoughts.
They are technically both the same thing. They do the same thing.

CWM RECOVERY doesn't work for me on Note 3 with Lollipop

I've used Odin 3.07 to flash n900t-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025) but it didn't pass. I'm tired now and I want to go to bed but it bugs me I don't have root.
On 4.2 I think it was easy but on 5.0 it won't work for me, now. I've scoured pages and pages, so for now I am kindly asking for some directions.

Try flashing the latest TWRP and then flash supersu from TWRP to get root.

Thanks, did it, it flashed it but now it gives me "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing". I pulled the battery right after the pass message, no change.
Read in thread about "Reactivation Lock" but I don't have that option in the stock Lollipop 5.0.
Any ideas?

So your phone is not booting? Boot into download mode and tell us what it says.

Oh no, the phone works fine. I can boot into stock Lollipop but it won't boot into recovery (Vol Up). It boots into Odin Vol Down.
All I want is to install su. First I tried to flash CWM recovery with Odin, didn't pass. Then I tried TWRP (their website is down), it passed but got "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" error. So now I'm lost. I think all have to flash a modified ROM but I'm confused about their specs (what is Deoxified)
Wait wait, Oding IS the recovery, no? I'm totally confused now.

Try this: open Odin and uncheck everything except f.reset time, connect the phone, flash TWRP, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery.

Thanks for the help. I've tried that sequence before. It didn't work. I'll try it again.
But I've managed to install su using Chainfire's Auto Root for Kitkat (but I have Lollipop). Now I have an older recovery. Will that cause any troubles?
What I've learned from my "ordeal" is make sure you have the right versions. In my case particularly the phone model, N900T, and then the software versions, N900TUVUFOB6, where B6 is the Lollipop (right?).

No no no!
I've rebooted into old recovery now my user interface in Lollipop doesn't work. I guess the recovery deleted some cache (noticed some messages at the bottom)
I guess I'll burn the Lollipop + CF Autoroot for the N-th time and never boot into recovery.

the enforcing thing is because you have a custom recovery only, it just tells the user that it isn't factory
