Having same issue with SGH-T889. Any help? Heard of similar issue with Nexus 4. They have revert recovery disabler. Not tried on my Note 2. Is similar solution available for T889?

After flashing recovery in Odin are you booting up the phone (or is odin - i.e. auto reboot is checked)? There is a file (/system/etc/install-recovery.sh) that you need to disable to have recovery "stick". There are a few ways to do this, but my preference has been to do it within cwm/twrp recovery via adb after flashing in odin but prior to first bootup of phone.
Hope that helps!

Ive had luck un-checking auto-reboot in odin, flashing recovery, wait for it to say pass, unplug USB, pull battery, and boot straight into recovery by holding home + vol up when powering on.
This can be dangerous so make sure odin is completely done before unplugging.

I have the same problem :/ i tried going back to odin and unchecking auto root as suggested, but whenever i clicked start it just stayed stuck at "Setup Connection" or whatever... i'm trying to install a custom rom and i just cant access CMW! I have the AT&T model by the way.

I know you can't access CWM Recovery..
Allot of us use TWRP Recovery and it works great. I think it is safe to say it is a Superior Recovery now. I suggest you use that Recovery.
You can get it installed easily by downloading GooManager from the play store, opening the app, hit your menu button and tap Install Open Recovery Script. That's it. Quick and easy!

For the people having a hard time, are you rooted? If you are just download goomanager and use it to install twrp

Finally got fixed
I tried by un ticking the "Reboot" in Odni and manually pulled out battery and cable and tried Recovery mode... it went smoothly as expected... thanks dude

This works when everything else fails!

Been looking for a solution for hours and the android system recovery was feeling like a thorn in the foot that will never go away. But surprise, surprise, your simple suggestion did the trick!
Thanks a ton!! :good:

[Q] Hard bricked ... what do u think ?

So am running stock 4.1.2 rooted and suddenly phone restarts and gets stuck at Samsung bootscreen
Factory reset and cache wipe from recovery didnt help
Tried to odin flash a firmware (4.1.2) odin says failed and never starts the flashing
Then I tried a 4.1.1 flashed perfectly. Though at first boot, it gets stuck at the working android logo and keeps restarting
what could be the problem ?

Is the handset rooted?
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=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.

Did you try the method i mentioned using the note 2 toolkit. You need to have a customer recovery and bootloader to install certain thinkgs. Try the noet 2 toolkit and follow the instructions i sent you. This should fix it.

Put stock rom in pda and pit in partition and check repartition.
Then hit start

nothing solved it ... sent it to samsung they fixed it. they said they changed the internal memory and an ic ...

Have you tried any other recoveries like twrp or the regular cwm?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I found out the solution. After flashing done in Odin, just force into recovery mode without letting it boot to android, then we will see the CWM recovery, select reboot phone now then select Yes to disable from stock recovery on next boot.
Hope this help other user too.

Maybe this will help...
1. Download PhilzTouchRecovery 6.26
2. Put device into Download Mode
3. Run Odin
4. Connect device
5. Load PhilzTouchRecovery.tar.md5 to PDA Tab/Button
6. Uncheck Auto Reboot from Odin
7. Click start. Once Pass! Disconnect device.
8. Hold Power Button, DON'T RELEASE till you boot into your new recovery.
9. Once booted to PhilzRecovery, select reboot system now, select yes. to make sure not to overwrite with stock recovery or else you're PhilzRecovery will be reverted back to your stock recovery and you have to flash again your PhilzRecovery.
10. Once successfully flashed PhilzRecovery. Make all necessary backups.
11. Once fully backed up. Copy backup files to your PC.

No. Once you're in PhilzTouchReco you have to select reboot now. Then a question will appear, select yes. And try to boot in recovery again. You should be in PhilzTouchReco...

[Q] Can't acces recovery mode after succesful rooting.

Hello. I have successfully rooted my sgh-899v and I have have used this method.
galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method[Can't link it properly because I do not have 10 posts yet]
Now whenever I try to go into recovery mode, I have the samsung logo which breaks down. After a while it will boot and I can use it. It's not bricked. It just won't go into recovery. I have installed Titaniumbackup and ROM manager and I don't know what to do. The cwm that I flashed through Odin said cmw6 but when I choose the version on ROM manager for recovery setup, I chose ClockworkMod 3.x+ and my phone says current recovery at cwm 5.x.x.x and I still can't acces recovery mode! Please help it is very frustrating for me. Thank you for reading.

If you dont have a recovery which u should yes it will allow you too if you have root access and if you want to install twrp recovery install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager and open the app hit the menu key you should see a list of options one being install openrecovery, tap in that one it will ask if you are sure you want to write recovery image to your device just click yes and bam you should now have a recovery

How did it go?

my phone is doing the same thing. i rooted it and then i tried to boot into recovery to install a ROM. the logo comes up and then shakes all over the place and then goes to a black screen. then nothing. i have to press the power button and it boots up normally to the regular phone. i downloaded goo manager and tried to install a recover but it loads for a second and then says no recovery found.
is there a way to install a custom rom using odin? i can bypass recovery using odin right? or does that not work?

You can install a custom recovery using Odin (twrp being one of them). Very few roms are installed using Odin.

Having problem custom recovery not sticking after odin flash.am on stock 4.12 w/root.have used odin 1.85 & 3.1.have tried twrp & cwm.always reverts back to stock recovery at reboot.
There used to be a unbrick/back to stock app w/root for earlier galaxies.that kept me out of a lot of trouble.since I'm on att note 4 w/locked bootloaders,I haven't paid much attention to what's available now.
any ideas why recovery isn't sticking.any help appreciated.thnx

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, use buttons to boot into recovery.

Thnx for reply.before I saw your reply,I tried the rashr app from playstore.it worked first try.i had tried goomanager,quick boot and some of the other apps with no luck.
Thnx again.now I can flash a more current rom.

galaxy s3 mini stuck in download mode
phone stuck in download mode. i originally tried rooting my samsung galaxy s3 mini using odin and it kept failing and never worked. i then tried dr.fone- root and succesfully rooted. i tried to flash custom roms with odin but was unable as it kept failing. i gave up on this for a few months until just a few days ago i wanted to do a factory reset just to clean up my system. it would boot to recovery mode but then just log on without any changes being made. i then tried "Official TWRP App" from google play. i went through the settings and selected my phone and let the app download the correct twrp file and tried to use it but the app would not even see the file when navigating to the root folder where i placed it. i removed the .md5 so that .tar was the exstension left. the app then recognized the file as being there so i selected it and the "flash" option. nothing happened after trying a couple times so i then selected the reboot option and it rebooted but will not boot to any mode but the download mode for odin. againi have tried odin to install factory recovery roms again odin always fails after many tries.
