Try flashing the official stock firmware, then try to flash CWM, or even better Philz Recovery. Since CWM is not sticking, battery pillout and all doesnt help much!

Wrong.
On every flash of any custom recovery on stock ROM, we need to go to the recovery on the first boot otherwise stock recovery or a file in /etc will overwrite it.
The solution is indeed going to recovery on first boot after the Odin flash and flashing Fix-Recovery.zip file.

You have to use Odin for it, and also ancora.ops which is provided in arco's CWM thread. You first need to download Odin. Check on www.sammobile.com what the latest stock for your region is. Search the stock somewhere around here and in the dev-forum. Reboot your phone to download mode when connected to PC. Open Odin, insert ancora.ops and check one package. Choose your stock, most probably a .tar.md5 and flash it. Your phone will reboot and then you'll be on stock. When I did this with my softbrick I also lost root and CWM.

The stock ROM you've downloaded needs to be a .tar.md5
The .tar.md5 file is all you need.
Also, before proceeding to flashing that stock ROM, please, READ this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128

Try to unplug your battery about 15 minutes. And then try booting it up again. If still on boot loop then do another flash with Odin and it will work

Not sure that's gonna work since the recovery will also be replaced by the stock one.
If that's the case, I would do the following things:
1. Download CWM for Samsung Galaxy Wonder from here. (It's also available in the development section here.)
2. Flash it via ODIN, by following exactly the same steps as for the ROM flashing.
3. Enter CWM and:
clear data (factory reset)
clear dalvik cache (under "advanced" menu)
go back one step and under "mounts & storage menu -> select "format /system" option. This step is crucial for a clean install!! Especially when changing Android versions.
under the same menu, go ahead and format /sdcard. (Be careful NOT to format /external_sd !)
4. exit from there and put your phone into Download Mode again (Home button + Volume DOWN + Power Button).
5. flash the stock ROM via ODIN
6. That's all. Good luck!
Hope you got the correct stock ROM. Also, I hope this little tutorial helps you fix your phone.
If any questions, just ask. We'll be here to help.

Hehe. I'm glad I could help.
In the future, please, don't name your threads "help me" or "need help" cause it's harder to look for. Try to give it a name such as "Galaxy Wonder Android downgrade to stock" or "Galaxy Wonder stuck in bootloop".
Again, I'm really glad now it works. And I hope you learned something today.

unnecessarily hard like that bro ...
just flash stock rom via odin downloader and if you have bootloop did wipe data and wipe cache in recovery after the install is complete ..
and it accomplishes everything ..

Please, read up.
It's not unnecessary and apparently it works.
I'm not sure the STOCK Recovery has those options and I'm not gonna flash it just to prove my point. But I hope you remember the fact that, after flashing the stock ROM via ODIN, CWM will be replaced with the stock recovery.

help! How to flash Stock Android 4.1.2 (AMF7)

Hello Dear Friends,
i want know how to flash 4.1.2 firmware from odin to my phone and I have stock 4.1.2 so I need to root my phone and recently I updated two official firmwares via OTA. So should I put md5 file to pda only but not other option like csc, modem, bootloader etc.. tell me is it correct? so will it not affect my phone?
kindly help me please
open Odin...select PDA and select md5 by name 'home/code'...
If other other files are not available just leave black..
If available put in their respective places

AFAIK the AMF7 only comes as 1 file- the tar.md5(plus the dll file which you will not use). So flash that tar.md5 file as it is. Do not open the archive. Better still install CWM recovery and flash k2wl stock roms. The are pre rooted.

Recovery Problem

Just bought this device 2 days ago. shipped with 4.1.2
firstly i flashed recovery and rooted. All works fine..
Then i downloaded Gnexxt 4.2.2 Rom and flashed it through recovery..
End up boot looping.. Then found that i need to flash 4.2.2 stock prior to flashing Gnexxt rom.
Flashed SER-I9082XXUBMGA-20130808115759.zip 4.2.2 .. Rom works fine.
But not able to access recovery option as mentioned above..
I tried flashing SER-I9082XXUBMGA-20130808115759.zip 4.2.2 russian firmware,
Then flashed recovery.
But when press vol key up + home key + power key, recovery is not appearing.
Just displaying the model number and loads the os normally.
Tried reflashing recovery, issue persists.
Kindly help me.
Thanks.

Yes thats correct! Flashing back restores your recovery in most cases, BUT not always. Little chance cwm is still there and you'll get prompted with a notification that ''stock recovery will be present at next reboot'' when you leave clockworkmod with either yes or no.

[Q] Difference between CWM and Philz recovery?

Hi guys,
I already rooted my grand phone and had CWM 6.0.2.3 recovery installed through ODIN.
I recently came across the Philz recovery for our Grand.
Just want to know the difference between the normal CWM and Philz recovery.
Also,the thread states that we can flash this in our recovery as a zip file.
how can we flash a recovery inside a recovery???
sorry if it is a stupid question...But just curioud to know!!!

You are able to flash a recovery from inside another recovery because the what the zip flashing does is mount your system files, in this case the recovery partition and overwrite it with custom files. So the next time you try booting into your recovery, instead of the old files, your phone reads the new custom files and loads them into the temporary memory for your use.
This concept applies to stock as well as custom recovery. Whenever you hold down the three buttons, the phone is programmed to read and load a particular partition, the recovery partition, into the temporary memory with admin privileges.
So the recovery you are using right now is in the temporary memory, only available till that very session, that's why its not a problem for it to overwrite it's own files
