no matter what i do i cant get out of recovery. im on cwm 3.1.0.1 (purple) i just now went into recovery to flash a new rom but when i try to select something it just show the circle with the hat on it. i pulled the battery and when i turned it back on, it went straight back to recovery.
edit...well i actually tried to get to recovery (3 finger salute) and then i could use recovery like normal. hopefully this will help someone else
Best bet is to Odin in EC05 stock, root and flash a GB ROM. Something happened to your boot partition. Use the method at the top of Development in the stickies and repaprtition your phone as well.

I had the same problem when I was trying to restore my wife's phone. Try restoring the original stock with odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655 worked for me.

Just found this one this morning. Works fantastic and even has on screen step by step guide to do it correctly. Unfortunately the forum wont let me post the link, so, google epic 4g odin tar, look for a link to pc geeks forum and they have an all in one windows based updater. Run the .exe on your pc and after it installs to your computer launch the program from the desktop icon it creates, follow the on screen prompts. Best restore program i have ever seen.
I just tried to do an nandroid to a previous ROM, this has been done many times before via CWM. This time after reboot I got stuck in a bootloop as I pulled battery and manually tried to get into recovery with power/volume this time it went to odin mode and now says dowloading, do not turn off target.
I have powered down phone from ODIM mode. but now when trying to re-boot im stuck at samsung galaxy boot screen. I now have tried once or twice to manually get into recovery to see if sends me to CMW but phone resets back to the boot rather than bootloader.
I have tried to hold volume up and power to try and boot into recovery and all I get is the bootloop while holding the buttons, never gets routed to recovery. (I heard for ODIN you hold volume down and power)
Has anyone experienced this? I have never used ODIN so no sure where this is comming from.
I have tried to manually get into recovery and I get a samsung message that downloading a custom OS can be harmfull either I can proceed or re-boot. If I proceed (volume up) I get the "downloading do not run off traget" in ODIN mode if i do volume down I reboot but that back at the bootloop
If you cannot get into recovery you are probably going to have to flash through Odin. From the sound of it you never used odin before. I would flash back to the stock rooted rom and then reinstall clockwork mod. I will provide links. A file probably just got corrupt during the nand restore. Lets hope I can get ya back up and running.
Install stock rooted rom:

Reinstall Clockwork Mod:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZRnH-_XZmM
Make sure you follow the steps exactly and do NOT pull out the cable during odin until it is complete or you WILL brick your phone!

Thanks guys, seemed to do the trick got my phone up and running just like it was. I just need to download CMW and ive done that when firdt rooted so shouldnt be a problem. You think if I use a backup from before (other than the one i used when i initaly had issues) will be a problem?
Thanks again
you should be good.
Hello, I honestly hope someone can help me !!
My phone won't boot up at all. I keep getting the Samsung logo with the words "recovery booting...." in the top left corner but it never boots into recovery mode.. I'm able to go into the other mode(forgot the name of it) but anything I flash in Odin fails.. Does any have any ideas on how I can get my phone back up and running.? I really need your help
What cause this..?
I wanted to flash a rom so I booted into recovery but didn't know how to backup my phone using Android System Recovery 3e. There was no option for backup. I then proceeded to flash cwm_Superuser_v3.0.7. When I tried to reboot after the "pass" flash, it never went into recovery and now everytime I take the battery out and try to turn it on, it still wants to try to reboot into recovery... ( HELP ME PLEASE..!!!
http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/Prerooted_Odin_tar_files/(NO_WIPE)SPR_L710VPBLJ7_ROOTED_JB.7z stock with root just flash in odin. From there since you'll have root access already just download goo manager and use it to flash a twrp recovery if u need it.
I'll try that right now and let you know what happens. Thanks
What's the best thing to do if Odin keeps failing.?
Check your drivers. Switch USB ports. Swap the USB cable. Reboot pc

The odin flash is a one click fix all type of deal. You do have the phone in download mode while you're attempting this right?
ODIN!!!! I love it.

woops...I hate that feeling...sorry
From what I've read you don't have CWM .. You have the stock recovery..You can't flash ROMS in stock recovery.. Does your phone boot up at all?
Personally TWRP is a better custom recovery anyway in my opinion.. CWM is so outdated..

It sounds to me like you didn't have debugging enabled on the phone,or didn't flash the cwm recovery tar in odin correctly, and jumped a step. I would completely start over, making sure you have the phone drivers installed correctly, then install the custom recovery.
Yeah, I tried everything but it failed everytime.. I fixed my phone tho, I used another laptop.
For some reason my laptop don't like Odin. I uninstalled the Samsung drivers, got rid of Odin, reinstalled everything, tried again but it still failed.. I don't know why my laptop is doing that but I got it now.
Thanks everyone for your help.!
Ok, so I am not a noob..But I hadn't flashed anything since owning my orginal Evo..I followed all the steps for chain fire's root and have root access. I installed TWRP and haven't played with any gs3 roms yet so I went into twrp's list of compatible roms. I downloaded carbon and gapps. I tried to flash. What happens now is the same thing as this poster above me. I can boot into download mode at which point I attempted odin..after that process I booted up and still no recovery. I did manage to flash Carbon, just very poorly apparently, because all that happens when I boot up is that is says startup wizard has failed and gapps has failed..Should I try to use odin with the link provided above as well?
I have already rooted my S3 and installed AOKP, but I forgot to sync my contacts with Google, so I had to install the stock ROM and then get all my contacts back using Kies.
So, I want to Root my phone again and get AOKP back as I have now syncd my Contacts with Google.
I booted up Odin and put on the file CWM Recovery.tar
I try to go into Clockwork Mod Recovery mode (volume up, home, Pwr buttons), but I get into just the regular Android system recovery (3e) mode and not Clockwork Mod Recovery.
Any suggestions?!?!
Also, in download mode, it states that I have:
Binary: 4 counts
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
How can I get into Clock work mode recovery???
All I want to do is install a custom ROM...!
After using Odin to install the .tar file and having it downloaded successfully with Odin, I still cant get into CMR mode. I am definitely holding down the Vol Up, Pwr & Home buttons at the same time.
Maybe I should clear a cache or reset something?!

Use Rom Manager from Play Store to install CWM then restert in CWM and when you hit restert there is note if you want to disable e3 hit yes . Phone will restart and next time you will get to custom CWM.

So in ROM Manager, I select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" or "Flash ClockworkMod Touch"
sorry for the nOOb questions...
I have tried to "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" using ROM Manager and get an error: An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!
I have also installed Triangle Away to reset my binary counter, but that doesnt work since my phone needs to be rooted.
Use this toolkit. It worked perfectly fir me. Just make sure you follow the directions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
And make sure you read everything carefully before you start flashing. Also make a backup of your IMEI. This will save you a headache later.

I have a rooted bone stock UCALG1 ROM that you can flash in ODIN. Then download ROM manager like the other member said to flash CWR. If you want touch without paying for it through Play you have to use Terminal Emulator to push it. I can give instructions for that also if you need them. If you want the rooted UCALG1 zip let me know.
If ROM manager is giving that message either it asked for root and you accidentally clicked deny or it isn't rooted properly. That's the only time i've encountered that message myself.
And Triangle Away will reset that flash counter for you

Go to SamMobile, register first (registration is free) and download the stock firmware for your S2x (SGH-T989D) and flash with Odin. I've given you the link(s) on the other site where you asked the question and included some additional information there. Feel free to communicate here if you run into further difficulty.
thanks

Since you can't revert back to the stock OS, flash the firmware and don't worry about wiping just yet. The Darkside SuperWipe method is used prior to installing a custom ROM. Download the appropriate firmware (4.1.2.) and get your T989D up and running first. Root the device and install a custom recovery. You may want to choose a CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery as the Darkside SuperWipe works best with CWM. Download the QuickBoot app from the Playstore, this allows you to boot into recovery mode without having to press the volume up/down/power combination of buttons used to access recovery mode.
Do not skip any steps, instructions borrowed from TheDerekJay's Darkside SuperWipe page.
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE FLASHING ROM OF YOU CHOICE, DO THE FOLLOWING...
1. Place on ROOT of your SD card.
2. Boot into Recovery Mode
3. Do a NAND BACKUP!!!
4. Flash DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE
5. Stay inside recovery
6. Flash desired ROM.
7. After flashing is complete, Reboot...
8. Done!
At most, ten minutes tops. I've run into instances of fifteen minutes. If you're not seeing results by the twenty minute mark, you'll have to start over. Do not use nightly's or release candidates, especially if you want to use the custom ROM for stable everyday operation. If I've missed any steps, I'm sure others will add to this.

I think it might be best to get your S2x back to stock. If this is the only device you have, then it's probably not a good idea to start experimenting. If something should go wrong, you'll be without a phone. I started by practicing on a Galaxy Ace to get the hang of rooting and installing custom ROM's and gradually progressed to the S2x, HTC Raider etc. I'm not trying to discourage you, but I think you need to do a little more reading/research and gather the tools that you'll need to familiarize yourself with how this all works.
yeah, i think to :good:
with all the test i do i think i'm lucky to not brick my phone
i reflash with odin and it now work fine
i try the other solution but not work
when i want to install cyanogen. i'm gonna see on XDA forum for help first
If you're looking to squeeze a little more performance out of your device, rooting alone is a good option. At the moment, I've reverted back to stock firmware (4.2.1.) and only rooted the device. I've removed and/or quarantined most of the carrier and manufacturer bloatware (software not necessarily needed, but installed by carrier/manufacturer) and the S2x flies, zero lag and swiping through pages is incredibly fast.
I'm not sure which solution you're referring to, glad to hear your S2x is back up and running though. :good: I should add that the S2x is an aging device which is why we haven't seen a ton of answers to your post, lol. Maybe when you decide to upgrade to an S4 or something, you can use the S2x as a test device to practice with.

U need to go get the updated recovery, use twrp v2.6.1.0 from here techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules, flash the tar. file with odin then download the ROM of choice, put on SD card and boot to recovery, DO NOT use any superwipe/supercache wipe script with twrp, it can break things, do a full wipe in twrp (advanced wipe menu) data, system, dalvik cache, and cache, 3x each, the flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot and let the phone sit ten min, then reboot again and set up, should be fine, u need to be on a newer recovery to flash these new roms..

No just go to the link I provided, download the tar file, put the device in download mode, and use Odin to flash the recovery tar file just like u would if u were going back stock, but only flash the recovery, or if u u really want to, go to the dev section and find the twrp thread and find the flashable zip file, that u can flash with cwm, but either way u don't need to return to stock, I suggest using the Odin method I proscribed ..

yea i just went to http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules and downloaded the http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules.tar file. the one thats downloaded 678 times. went to odin and flashed the tar file a second time. the same result is happening that it just freezes at the teamwin screen. the odin passed and i let the phone reboot with the cable in and it just boot looped since my phone is having boot loops problems. i take the battery out and try to go into recovery mode but it just freezes up at that blue team win screen. is there a button im supposed to press while on that screen to move or something
hmm..i had to odin flash the twrp 6.0.3 for it not to freeze up on the team win screen.

So now everything boots up ok?
no twrp v2.6.3.1
---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
but yea i dont understand why the 2.6.1.0 freezes at the team win screen but the 2.6.3 dont freeze up. i heard the 2.6.3 is very buggy atm. so im not sure should i risk flashing with this version or give the twrp 2.6.1 one more try.
That is weird, I had no problem with 2.6.1 maybe give it another shot at least you'll know for sure. As for the button combination, I just use the volume up/down keys and power to get into recovery, trick I found was to let go of power right after that slight vibration and keep holding both volume keys until the TeamWin logo appears.
yea it froze up again with the team win v2.6.1.0. i guess my only option atm is to flash with the 2.6.3 since im boot looped. im gonna try and flash that ROM Hellybean
So you have an S2?
yes tmobile galaxy s2 t989, something is wrong with teh phone. im on twrp 2.6.3, when i tried to advance wipe data,system, and all that it just freezes for like 30 mins. had to pull battery.
