If you don't tell us why you cannot flash any rom, it would be impossible to provide assistance.
When I try to flash a Rom, it fails everytime and then I am stuck in recovery mode and cannot reboot at all. If I knew why then I could probably fix it.

Maybe a problem with the recovery you installed? I flashed CM11 with Philz CWM

Make sure to download the correct version for your device (5100, 5110 or 5120)

i just flashed cwm to my gnex with rom manager after rooting the phone (without unlocking the bootloader). when i try to boot into the recovery, i get this picture of an android with its chest open and an exclamation. i would assume that the recovery partition was not flashed correctly? are there any suggestions?
thanks for your help in advance!
That just means the recovery was not properly flashed, what you are seeing is stock recovery. Try again via rom manager, or do it manually using fastboot.
Your phone needs CPR.

Not true. If you have root, you are good to go.
@OP: the reason CWM is not sticking is because you updated your build with an OTA (or link). When you do this, the update adds 2 files to your ROM that re-flash the stock recovery on every reboot. You need to delete them and re-flash CWM.

You still can boot into CWM Recovery without deleting or change the filenames..
Just before you want to boot into CWM recovery...from CWM App..clck flash recovery..after that click Reboot into recovery.. doing these 2 steps..you will get booting into CWM Recovery yet not losing the stock recovery..

Yup, you can do that as well. But you would need to flash CWM every time.
Not sure why you are so concerned with having a stock recovery though. The "I want to be able to get the next ota" reason doesn't make any sense at all for these reasons:
1) The link for the next OTA update will show up on XDA before you get it. So in this case, you need either CWM or root to install.
2) Irrespective of whether you have a stock or custom recovery, you will receive notification of the next OTA update regardless. If you have the stock recovery, just click install. If you have CWM, start ROM Manager, install the stock recovery, and then install the update.

Hey guys,
So I just rooted my rogers galaxy s3 and I'm trying to install CWM recovery. My phone isnt on the ROM manager list so I tried flashing it through odin. I've tried about 7 times each with different versions of cwm recovery and odin keeps saying it was a success but whenever I try to go into recovery mode I just go to android system recovery and not CWM recovery. I have no clue why this is happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Zach

Btw i dunno why its not working it worked for me.. but i switched cuz CWM SUCKS get twrp bruh its touch and everything and it tells you how much battery you have while flashing...
Download goomanager off playstore... download some random rom (you dont need to flash the rom its only so it gives u the link to the open recovery) you will be asked if you have a recovery installed say no install open recovery they install TWRP on your phone done.. happy flashing

Had the same problems, follow this guide use the latest versions of everything (Odin, etc.). The key is the pulling of the battery after flashing and before you boot. Once I did that I got into CWM no problem.

This is probably the same issue i was having where the stock recovery kept coming back. You will need to rename or delete these two files.

Hi all,
I have flashed my GN2 with CVM and when I reboot into recovery, the screen goes all jumbled up and then then it reboots and does the same thing and then shuts down. With stock recovery it was fine.
Tried it with TWRP and get the same thing. I've used Toolkit v3 as well to see if that worked but I can't get a custom recovery to work... re flashing stock recovery from Toolkit is fine and it works no problem. Anyone else had this issue? All I want to do is root and try CM 10.1 nightly but can't even get to recovery to flash the ROM. Is there another way to install a ROM? Odin? But then need a .tar of the ROM which I can't find, any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Are you on dll7?
If yes, new bootloader could be a issue

do the recovery with mobile odin
He is for sure in DLL7. I had the same. Twrp 2.3.2.3 works great in dll7 but not the latest one.
Cwm does not work.

DLL7 is a reference to kernel version? What about the ROMs then do they have to be DLL7 compatible? Also where can I get the CM kernel and is that needed for CM 10.1?
I installed cwm using ROM manager. Right now, there is no problem with phone's working, and I was also able to backup my stock ROM. The problem is, when I flash a new ROM (using rom manager), it ends up in the same stock ROM with factory reset. I can't also boot into the clockworkmode recovery. What shall I do to replace the current cwm version with a working version?
Go into download mode and reflash ur stock rom with odin. You will also have stock recovery back.
Re-root and flash cwm with your stock recovery.
Thats it.
Youre a lucky guy if your phone still wants to boot after rommanager cwm...
Just to make sure, you can flash roms WITH rommanager, but not FROM rommanager.
The ones in their list arent compatible with our gio.

Thank you..
Since I am a beginner, can you please tell me about getting into download mode and reflash using odin.
I can still boot into my stock recovery. I have downloaded 'cwm 6 for gio' from xda. Can I install this using 'install from sdcard' option in stock recovery? Will it get updated properly or end up in bricking my phone?
(Sorry to ask very basic questions)

As the title says, i need a fix to fix my broken stock recovery. Running stock rom UBNG3. I found a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932327 but its a fix for Galaxy Note. Don't know whether this could be flashed on my phone. Although I think that if the above fix is flashable it could solve the gallery app bug but don't know for sure.
Let me explain the whole story. Back in the days when 4.2.2 rom was leaked i flashed it and then flashed the official 4.2.2 rom but since then my recovery is broken. I did not care about it until now when i wanted to root my phone. Flashed cwm recovery a number of times but kept booting into stock. An option in the rooting guide suggested to re flash the whole rom but setting up the phone again is not an option for me. Its just a big pain. What i want is a fix to fix the broken recovery so that when i flash cwm, it actually shows up.
Thanx for any help anyone could provide.

From 4.2.2 you need to flash ur recovery using ODIN.

Use ODIN to flash CWM Recovery
