[Q] Phone won't boot into recovery. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I have been messing with my S3 lately and just tonight I tried flashing the newest compatible TWRP recovery so that I could run SlimBean on it, which is recommended, but after I flashed it, the TWRP recovery, my phone would no longer boot into recovery. It will boot into download and will boot normally. When I try to boot into recovery it shows the "Recovery booting...." text in blue but then goes to a black screen where I can't go any further. I have tried booting into recovery while completely turned off with Volume up + Home + power, with ROM manager and with goomanager. No matter what I try it refuses to boot into recovery. Any help would be very, very, very appreciated!

Where did you get the recovery? Get twrp from my sig and flash via Odin. Should get it going again.

I originally got twrp from their site the first time I attempted to flash it and also tried flashing it directly from goomanager.
Thank you, I'll try it right quick.
*EDIT* I tried the twrp you said to and it crashed my odinv3.07. I'm going to download Odinv3.09 provided by you and attempt it again. Any tips on changing the twrp file from a .zip to a .tar file?

There should be a .tar.md5 fir each version. Use that with Odin. The .zip files are for flashing in recovery, which wont work for you atm.

Sorry about the late reply but after I flashed the twrp from you with Odin v3.09 it booted right into recovery! Thank you so much!

[Q] Help Needed!

Hi,
I have rooted my galaxy s3 t999 on 4.1.1 JB. I then installed twrp via goo manager. After this, I used goo manager and flashed cm 10.1 m3 and the gaaps package that goo manager told me to install. Now my phone will not go into twrp recovery and when it boots up the s3 logo comes up and under that, the cyongenmod logo pops up too. After this the screen goes black. Can I flash cyongenmod trough odin? My phone goes into download mode at least. Thank you for taking your time and reading this . Please Help! I am a complete noob.
Need to do a factory reset to fix the boot issue.
Attempting to access recovery with wrong key combination. Press power, then the phone vibrates, hold vol up and home button.

You cannot flash cyanogenmod using odin.
Your best bet is a fresh start with the stock-rooted ODIN flash firmware which can be downloaded here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451
Flash the stock-rooted TAR file with ODIN.
After it's done download cwm recovery zip file which can be found here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556425762
Copy the cwm recovery zip file you downloaded to your phones sdcard.
Then boot into recovery and flash the cwm-recovery zip file and reboot
the phone into recovery mode.
Then go a head and flash the cyanogenmod rom you were trying to flash before.
It should work just fine.
Good Luck!
Thanks!

Hello fellow XDA member,
Thank You for your response! I appreciate your effort, but you were a little too late. I already did exactly what you said, due to a video on youtube.
Thanks Anyways,

Recovery Fail!

So two days ago I thought about installing Vision X rom on my Note 3 (T Mobile).
I downloaded the ROM and then backed up my current ROM (nandroid). I had Phillz touch recovery then.
Then I thought about going to TWRP and thus I downloaded the latest zip for my phone and flashed it via Phillz upon trying to reboot into recovery it got stuck in the screen "Rebooting Recovery...".
When I restarted it would still try to reboot into recovery and get stuck. I got out of that by going into download mode and then selecting "Restart Phone".
After that I looked for solutions and upon failing to find any I thought about going back to stock and starting from ground zero. I managed to flash the latest stock using Odin however I forgot to do a factory reset before hand.
When I tried to do a factory reset in my, now stock, phone it failed and then got stuck trying to get into recovery. It would flash "Rebooting Recovery..." then restart and flash that in a loop.
I have lost my root as well in the process and trying to root using Odin and CF-Root just get's me back in the recovery boot loop. I can use the phone OK however this is not a stable situation.
I'm sure I've made some serious errors in the tinkering and would like to get my recovery back. I really love Custom Roms. Any kind and knowledgeable souls out there to help me in my cause?

Go to the Playstore and download TWRP Coordinator and then
use it to install the latest TWRP recovery for your phone.
Once you can get back into TWRP recovery you need to flash
the cf-autoroot for your phone. Be sure you flash the CORRECT
version of cf-autoroot for your phone's model.
Good luck!

The app is constantly crashing!
It would start for a second then close. I tried the TWRP manager as well with the same result.
I've lost root access when I Odined back to stock, won't I need root access to install new recoveries?
Sounds like you flashed the stock 4.4 firmware and now need recovery to root. Flash this TWRP file using Odin http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Once you flash it, you need to boot into recovery to install supersu to root.
Switch off the Galaxy Note 3 (remove the battery and reinsert if needed)
Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.Release the buttons when the screen flickers and wait for the TWRP menu.
Select Reboot, then System and install Supersu for root.
Once booted, open Supersu to update it and grant permission.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

[Q] Phone will not boot into recovery

I attempted to flash a custom ROM, which I've done on this phone a couple times, but something went wrong this time. If I can get to the recovery, I'll be able to restore an back up. When I reboot into recovery, the TeamWin screen comes up like normal, but then the phone goes into a boot loop and it never goes into recovery. I can get into downloader. Can anyone help me get into recovery?

Reflash TWRP recovery using Odin and try again. If that doesn't work, flash the root66 firmware, then make sure it boots normally as well as into stock recovery. If it does, flash TWRP from Odin (or use the Goo Manager app) and try again.

[Q] Clockworkmod recovery won't boot up

I recently installed clockworkmod recovery on my friends Note 3 and when I tried going into the recovery to install a ROM the recovery doesn't boot up them goes to a black screen and boots up normally as if I just restarted the phone. Any help?

You may have installed the wrong recovery.
Check your download. If it's correct try odin again.
Pp.
I would ask for a little more information to help you figure this out.
What ROM is the device running? Stock? If so, that is the issue. In order for it to stick, you'll need to flash it via odin, after the flash, pull the battery, and manually boot into recovery mode and flash a custom ROM.
You'll need the "ROM".zip pre-loaded on the device before you do all of this.
Good luck.

I ****ed up when trying to install flash TWRP 3.0.2

Hello,
I was trying to flash the newest version of TWRP on my Note 4 by flashing the image within TWRP(as the instructions suggested). What I did not notice was that I had an older version of TWRP installed than the one recommended in the instructions. After flashing the image and reboots the phone enters the download mode, and I am not able to proceed into recovery mode.
I downloaded the newest version of odin and flashed TWRP using the AP mode. By utilizing the auto-reboot setting I was able to boot into the OS, and everything seems to work fine. However when trying to reboot into recovery I still get the download mode. Is there any way to fix this?
All answers are greatly appreciated.
Sorry for bump.
Anyone?

Are you Rooted, or are you trying to root using this method? If you're rooted download flashify and download TWRP, or CWM, or Philz for the device and it should be successful. If it's not, please reply back and i can see what's going on.
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I am indeed rooted. I tried flashing TWRP through flashify, but my phone still enters download mode when rebooting after flash. "Could not do normal boot" in the top-left corner. To make the phone boot into the OS I have to flash TWRP through Odin. This solves the "booting into the OS"- part,but when I try to boot into recovery I get the download mode aswell. I am thinking that I might have to wipe everything and re-install TWRP and the custom ROM(emotion rom MM). What is the best way of doing this?
