Superwipe should not effect your ability to get into recovery or download mode.
Cause your best bet is to Odin it to stock....but you need download mode to do it.

Galaxy S3 softbriked? Odis and recovery mode not working.

ATT S3 stuck at the Samsung galaxy 3 logo, i tried to use Odin and flash but it wont work (stuck at system) and I cant access my recovery mode. I try to go into recovery mode but it just reboot and goes back to the logo.
The only thing I can access is DL to try to flash it through Odin but It just not working , I tried the original update from samsung and the jelly bean and it keep getting stuck in the loading system.
please advice , I am desperate.
Are you trying to flash back to stock?
I went through this the other day. Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Wipe User Data/Factory Reset I believe is the actual option.
Should boot fine after that.
*nevermind... didnt read it properly, obviously wont work if you cant get into recovery... my bad

Or ADB command.
Have you tried: vol up+home and then adding power? When I do the 3 at the same time, it doesn't seem to always work but that way does. Just a shot in the dark.

not working boss,on my samsung wave 2
Looks like you may be soft bricked. You can always send it off to JTag for repair. This guy on eBay does it for $35 and he has 700+ sales with a 100% satisfaction rating http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=271160547396
If you can get into dl mode you can fix it. And make sure that you are trying to get into recovery the right way. I know in times of frustration getting into recovery can be annoying. ...a few deep breaths wait a little while then try for recovery. If not. .. down load the newest odin, erase and down load New drivers for your phone and attempt odin again, Flash stock rooted.

I am having similar issues i'm able to get into download and keis will begin emergency recovery but both options fail at system.img.ext4
recovery is un available and outs me into connect to keis screen which is download ot keis download.
would any one have a stock recovery of original DLK3 that would be for odin, or a location to download it. keis said if I could get into stock recovery....
thankx
i'm not even stressed yet I went thru this once with my captivate and I got out of that one.
I think that running kies and odin at the same time can disrupt odin. Not 100% on that but I always disabled or removed it first as per something I had read. Also if you have been running anything using ADB on your PC, use the task manager to make sure it is not still running in the processes. It has caused me problems getting a connection to the phone to stick.

Can't access recovery with FI27

Recently had to replace my E4GT and the new device was sent to me with FI27 firmware. I want to install Blue Kuban or something similar, however I can't get the phone to boot into recovery. I can access download mode, which I used to flash a rooted version of the stock rom, however when I try to boot into recovery (holding power and volume up) the phone displays the samsung boot screen twice then boots like normal. Can I flash to a CWM or something through Odin in download mode, to gain access to custom firmware and recovery mode? Assuming I can, is there a preferred firmware to use now?
Get the el26 kernel that had cwm recovery in it and flash thru odin .
When the phone resets pull out the battery and place it back put the phone then boot into recovery

I really appreciate the guide, and I followed it, installed odin lite, got the right apk for my phone to flash, grabbed the cwm and flashed it, however I still can't boot to recovery and obviously can no longer boot back into the rom I had. I suppose I will wait until I get home and use odin on my pc to flash, as I can access download mode. Can I use the same cwm with the pc version of odin?
Ok, so things have gone from bad to worse.
I was able to flash the stock el26 with odin and got it back to factory, after that i booted into recovery and attempted to install blu kuban (after clearing everything) and it gives me a short write error about not enough space but I have over 10gb free on the phone and 20 on the sd card. I then attempted the mobile odin steps again VERBATIM from your guide and when the phone reset it soft bricked again, however this time it wont boot into recovery or download mode and just sits at the samsung logo screen. When I plug the phone into the pc and attempt to boot into anything the charging animation just freezes on the screen. any help would be greatly appreciated.
(edit) nevermind, im an idiot. figured it out.

[Q] i need some help, please! SPH-L900 NOTE II

I apologize if this is already a thread in here somewhere, but I searched first with no luck. I have/ had a rooted galaxy note 2 done by method of the galaxy note 2 tool kit. I went and installed AOKP 4.2.2 but my sound wasn't working so I went to load a back up through CWM. after I slid the accept slider to start it went to a screen with " Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I have tried to flash the stock recovery with odin and It gets to the point of recovery, and then fails. is there a fix for this?
I have seen the videos on how to use TWRP, and CWM using the recovery mode on the phone, but it doesn't allow me to enter that mode using the volume up, power and home buttons. all I can access on the phone is the download mode through ODIN.
If u can't get into recovery then use download mode and flash a stock rom through Odin. I would use the mc2 stock tar in the development section.

if you can't enter a custom recover with the power-up+home+power combo, I suspect you don't have a custom recover installed--TWRP or CWM. Sounds like you have just the stock recovery.
I suggest trying to Toolkit and install just a custom recovery. If you do, I suggest downloading the TAR file from the recovery prefer. If you haven't used one before, I like TWRP.
If everything goes well, all you'll need to do is just flash a rom you like. won't need to be stock.

Is your phone still boot looping? Can you stay in recovery mode or does it reboot again while you're in there? If so, you might have a sticky power button. Go here for the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931310
I literally just fixed my dad's s2 that was bootlooping. I'm on mobile right now, so sorry for not providing links, but I had to use odin to revert totally back to stock, then reroot. Hope this helps. I do have the files I used on his computer, lmk if you need.
