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!

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

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.

[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.

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.

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.

[Q] stock/no root phone won't boot, only DL mode works

Hello,
My unrooted At&T galaxy s3 will not go past the Samsung Galaxy SIII splash screen. When I enter recovery it just gives me a dead android guy.
I had this problem before and to fix it, I used odin to flash the stock 4.0.4, then I flashed 4.1.1 (I think these are the correct versions, I followed instructions here), then my phone wouldn't OTA update to touchwiz 4.3 so I flashed it using recovery mode using instructions and files I found here. The phone worked fine for a few weeks after that, but then started to reboot randomly and delete apps. Eventually it just stopped working all together which is where I am now.
I tried to install TWRP using odin which odin says worked but when I try to go to recovery mode I still just see the dead android guy. The phone did not have USB debugging mode turned on so I am not sure if I could install a custom recovery at all.
I tried the CF-auto root that I found here which got partway through and then failed.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Is there a stock touchwiz 4.3 rom that I could flash using odin??
Thank you very much, please let me know if you require any more information, I really want to get my phone working again.

It almost sounds like you're dealing with a situation I'm having on my galaxy tab. It has the internal SD chip going bad. I had to use a rom specially made to boot from a partitioned external sd card. Sorry, I can't help more, but the symptoms seem similar.

Try flashing the TWRP again with Odin, but make sure the auto reboot option on the left is unchecked in Odin. After flashing, unplug the phone and then hold volume up + menu + power buttons at the same time until it reboots.

Only other thing right now is to make sure you have the latest odin, which is 3.09

Yes it did, the first time that this started happening. But I was unable to do that again, I thought since I flashed all the way to 4.3 and I read that once you go to 4.3 you can't go back. Is that correct?
Thank you for your help. I was hoping to try an odin flashable touchwiz 4.3 but I can't seem to find one.

So you had 4.04 on your phone and you used OTA updates to get to 4.3? If this is correct, then you can't flash a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM because it has never been made available to the public; therefore, the only 4.3 ROMs that may work are based on the leaked AT&T 4.3 ROM or compiled from an OTA update.
Once of these ROMs may get your phone going again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233

Did you try installing Philz Touch from Odin? As was suggested earlier, don't use auto reboot. Once Philz has been installed and you see Reset in the window, disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, wipe and flash a custom ROM. This may help you get your phone working for now.

Nope, USB debugging will not make a difference.
The latest Philz Touch is based on the latest CWM. After your flash Philz, are you letting the phone auto reboot on its own after flashing in Odin?
I know of no way to convert a custom ROM so it can be flashed in Odin.

Download philz recovery and flash with ODIN. The warning about recovery is normal once you have a custom recovery installed.

I flashed philz through odin and saw the warning about recovery. recovery still booted though, but i wasnt sure if i was in trouble. So its normal you say?

Yes. That message is normal for any non stock recovery.

Today a miracle occurred.
I have a n900-p Sprint that was rooted months ago and today I stupidly was messing with ROM manager and hit "reboot into recovery"
My phone went in to a boot loop with this "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message right before bed time and I was in boot loop hell.
Some quick googling brought me here and gratefully I used some of your info to save myself on first try.
Step-by-step for any Googlers passing through:
1. Download Odin and your stock android rom (by pure dumb luck I remembered the last three letters from when I was screwing around on the settings screen earlier in the day.
2. Run As Administrator Odin and put your phone in download mode (pull battery, wait ten seconds, hold down VOL down + Power + front key)
3. Plug in your busted phone
4. Hit AP button in Odin and find your stock android rom you d/l earlier
5. after you get a blue box under ID:COM in Odin, hit start
6. pray
7. boom, when its done everything is back to normal.
If a monkey as dumb as me can pull it off, so can you. Good luck internet strangers.
