Hey guys,
So I just rooted my rogers galaxy s3 and I'm trying to install CWM recovery. My phone isnt on the ROM manager list so I tried flashing it through odin. I've tried about 7 times each with different versions of cwm recovery and odin keeps saying it was a success but whenever I try to go into recovery mode I just go to android system recovery and not CWM recovery. I have no clue why this is happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Zach

Btw i dunno why its not working it worked for me.. but i switched cuz CWM SUCKS get twrp bruh its touch and everything and it tells you how much battery you have while flashing...
Download goomanager off playstore... download some random rom (you dont need to flash the rom its only so it gives u the link to the open recovery) you will be asked if you have a recovery installed say no install open recovery they install TWRP on your phone done.. happy flashing

Had the same problems, follow this guide use the latest versions of everything (Odin, etc.). The key is the pulling of the battery after flashing and before you boot. Once I did that I got into CWM no problem.

Yeah I ended up installing TWRP, and I flashed this rom:

Good so far!
This is probably the same issue i was having where the stock recovery kept coming back. You will need to rename or delete these two files.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Some more details would help me understand better. What I'd love to know is.
1. What is the current state of the phone ?
2. Is it rooted or Are you trying to root ? If so what process.
3. Are you trying to flash a rom or Recovery or what ?
4. Last but not least. What rom and version you currently have on there ?

You didn't specify how you got here .What did you try to do, that left you in this state ? Am I assuming correctly that you somehow managed to wipe system partition and have only the stock recovery ?
If the phone is in Recovery mode, Odin will not work. You will need to reboot the phone into Download mode. To do this, you pull the battery out, volume down, home, and power button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo, and then release. You will see a warning message with bright yellow triangle and will say Downloading. Once that is done, connect to the PC.
Using ODIN, first flash a custom recovery such as TWRP. If you want to go back to stock, this is the time you flash Stock rom instead of the recovery.
If you want custom rom, copy the rom zip to the External SD card and then put that in the phone and flash via Custom Recovery.

Sorry.....
the phone was loading that QHSUSB_DLOAD driver on windows every time i plugged into my PC. I then tried to Odin to a Stock TMO Rom, and that was when i got the Boot recovery mode screen. i have been trying to use the buttons to get into download mode, but that doesnt work either!

QHSUSB_DLOAD means your device is hard Bricked. Please follow De-Bricking thread in this sub forum.

Thats how i got it out of hard brick mode. i used the sdcard image method, and that was as far as the phone went: boot recovery mode!:fingers-crossed:

Then perhaps you should have asked on that thread for next steps. Anyway, if you are still getting the Qsub message when connecting to pc that means its not out of de-brick yet. I'd suggest following there.
Also please first put the phone in download mode and THEN connect to the PC. Tell me what happens in that case.

Perhaps not Perseus! AS stated........Its out of the brick mode and is now stuck in boot recovery mode! The method to get it into download mode is null, because it will only go into the boot recovery mode when i push those buttons to try and get it there! NOTE: its now in MSM9860 when plugged into the PC.

Please note, the button combo slightly differs for Recovery versus Download mode
Recovery Booting - Power +Home + Volume UP
Download Mode - Power +Home + Volume DOWN
Do you still have the sd setup from the debrick thread? Can you see if you can get back to download mode by booting from that again?
If so, try flashing the Stock firmware again, and if you still end up in the same spot maybe try again, but this time flash CWM or TWRP recovery from Odin, then flash a Rom from recovery.
And I can't remember right off but did you try factory resetting from recovery?

In that Case boot the phone using the files of the SD Card as per the De-Brick Thread. See if you can into Downloading mode that way.

Tried that method also and no luck!
Just to clarify, the boot recovery mode you are referring to, does it have the binary/flash count, system status, etc? Basically what do you see?
It sounds in some ways you are in download mode, but recovery is a very different mode, so just to clear up any confusion.....

Please help me I flashed CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.md5 via Odin earlier and then I tried to flash probam_aosb_kk_1.3.7_i9082.zip via CWM but it failed (set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed). When I restart my phone but it boots into the CWM Recovery only so I flashed exitrecovery.zip via CWM, it didn't work so I tried exitloop.zip, it didn't work also. So I downloaded another rom which is CosmicCM-4.4.4-5.6.stable-20141003-030024-k2wl-i9082.zip and flashed it but i got the same error (set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed). I looked for solution on that and turned my phone off. After that I can't go to CWM Recovery anymore, it shows only the first boot screen logo. I can still access the download mode though. :crying: What am i going to do?

Okay sir. I'll try that. Thanks!
Update:
Thank you sir. It worked.
I myself faced this and if I am not wrong you are also facing this problem.
After upgrading A1 to marshmallow you will see there is no recovery mode in your device,when you start your recovery mode only there is dead Android boot animation.
Though u have tried many times to flash recovery like CWM But all in vain.
I have a solution for them,
After flashing the recovery.img file don't type reboot command just use the following command
fastboot boot recovery.img
It will bring you on recovery screen ,then install your desired Zip.
Every time you need recovery mode just connect it to pc in fastboot mode and type that command to your recovery mode.
This thread is for them who really facing this problem
Thanks bro. Really helpful!

If not wrong ur are missing something..
After dead android logo u have to press power button and then volume (up/down) didn't remembered exactly. Then only u will be taken to recovery mode. if on stock recovery
Other wise hitting recovery button only will take u to ur custom recovery.

I hope that part how to go to revory known to all ,So I skip it.After Marshmallow first update it does not matter you are in Stock Rom or Custom Rom ,there will be no custom Recovery mode however how hard you try to flash CWM or TWRP .I tried in 3 handset,all given same result .So, I mention how to get to Custom Recovery in an optional way.

LOL
When you see android bot logo, you are in recovery mode. But recovery menu options are hidden.
After you see the dead bot logo, hold power up for 5 seconds and then hit vol up (or hold both for 5 seconds) All recovery options will be visible after this.
Its a bad idea to use a pc every time you want to boot into recovery LOL

Hello to the bosses here! I'm new here and I need your help .
I tried to flash TWRP and CWM with flashify because i don't have a PC at my reach
So after I tried this , I discovered that my phone won't boot into recovery again. When I tried to hold the buttons or boot with the help of some apps after getting to the start logo it will went off and come up again. I don't really understand how to get my recovery back . please someone should help because my phone is more or less useless. Thanks.

What do you mean by factory mode? Does it boot to system (normal launcher)? And what ver. and type of recovery did you try to flash? What was the last firmware/OS did you used before this happen?

Yes it boot into launcher, it's working fine. I tried Twrp using flashify I think that's where the error comes from. I'm using the stock firmware. 4.1.2
