I recently made the decision to root my Note 3. I used the CF auto Root process with was wonderfully painless. I was pleased to see my Note was rooted and confirmed within minutes. I then (like I always do) attempted to reboot into whatever recovery I then had. I sadly ran into a recovery boot loop similar to this screenshot in the attached file.
I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. Once there I installed ROM Manager to verify what Recovery I had. It said I have CWM. So I attempted to update it and the update failed. (Re-attempted more than 5 times) I tried to install TWRP and I fell into another recovery boot loop.
I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. I tried to update CWM using ROM toolbox. (Allegedly successful) I attempted to reboot into recovery & ran into a recovery boot loop.
I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. I need a more solid way to update CWM. Better yet, I wonder why am I having so much difficulty updating it in the 1st place. Any thoughts?

Here is what you can do to solve the recovery problem.
Here is a direct download link to TWRP recovery which you need to odin flash,
once you have odin flashed it you will no longer have any difficulties going into
the custom twrp recovery:

p.s. for best results forget about cwm and rom manager they are not needed for anything.
Good luck!

Help. I think I bricked my phone. I was running S3Rx 3.0 with JB4.3 on my T999 GS3. I attempted to update the rom to its latest version 3-20-14. I made a nandroid backup. I wiped cache and dalvik and then tried to install the zip file in TWRP, but it said install failed. I tried again with same failed results. I then did a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, data and system. I tried to flash the zip file and it failed again. So giving up on the failed update, I then restored my nandroid backup. After the restore was complete, I rebooted the phone and it got stuck at bootup with the Samsung logo and the blue LED light. I let it sit for over 15 minutes and it was still stuck there. I powered off the phone and went back into TWRP recovery and repeated the restore and reboot again, and it was stuck at that same part for over 15 minutes. Should it take that long? I've done backups and restores in the past and I don't recall it having take that long to bootup.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please let me know if you need more explanation. Thanks in advance.
Try using odin to update the recovery system and flashing a rom.

It's been a long while since I used odin. I want to get the steps right before I risk further damaging my phone. Should I download odin and latest TWRP tar file to my pc. Put my phone into download mode and go thru the odin process...run as admin, placing tar file in pda... Then do I reboot into recovery mode? From there I'm not sure what to do. How do I flash a rom to my phone? Do or can I download a zip file via odin? One other option I thought of is to odin root66. So am I actually downloading 2 files via odin? Sorry for my confusion.
Ok, so I odined root66. My phone initially booted up to stock, but I got a pop up "unfortunately system ui has stopped". I went to recovery mode to do a factory reset. It took me to android system recovery. Apparently i lost my TWRP recovery. I did a factory reset and rebooted. Hallelujah!! my phone booted up into stock successfully. Whew...
Cool.
Sorry I couldnt respond earlier, I just woke up.
I always keep copies of odin flashable packages for the latest cwm and twrp recoveries just in case some craziness happens.
Ive had a similar issue when dualbooting. Recovery seemed to work 100% but one bad flash sent me into a bootloop I couldnt get out of. Booting to recovery just tried booting my corrupt 2nd rom and I had to odin cwm on to stop the boot script from locking me out of recovery.

All part of the hazards of tinkering with the phone. It goes with the territory. But as long as I can get into download or recovery mode I believe there's always a fighting chance.
Separately I reinstalled TWRP via odin. Next will be to reflash the custom rom.
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.
The events that transpired:
1. Installed stock NF9 via Effortless guide.
2. Booted into stock & all aspects where upgraded to NF9
3. Installed CF-Auto-Root via Odin
4. Installed philz touch 6.12.8
5. Attempted to boot into Recovery and it rebooted itself
6. Installed TWRP included in Effortless guide
7. Booted into TWRP. The recovery was behaving oddly and it took about 10 minutes just to get to the next step.
8. Installed HyperDrive RLS4
9. Booted into HyperDrive
10. Installed ROM Manager and installed the latest CWM Touch
11. SuperSU updated it binaries and I accidentally told it to do it in TWRP/CWM.
Now I am in an eternal bootloop. I have tried to boot into download mode with no success. I have removed the batteries and waited hours (not an exaggeration) and it still attempts to boot into recovery on its own over and over again. Can any give me some more ideas to try to fix this? Thanks!!!

Here is a sure way to solve the issue you are having with bootlooping and root.
#1: Odin flash cf-autoroot, here is the direct download link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
#2: Odin flash twrp recovery, here is the direct download link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Odin flash the cf-autoroot first.
You were not using the latest official version of twrp recovery, and
you must have used either an old version or a pre-release beta.
Once you are done doing the above you will no longer have bootloop and root issues.
Don't use rom manager for anything in the future if you want to avoid
these kinds of issues. The latest firmwares and custom roms do not play
nicely with rom manager.
Also philz touch recovery is not fully compatible with these newer firmwares and roms.
Good luck!

Here is the problem: I cannot get into download mode. I have held volume up+home+power and any combination of buttons and it just keeps trying to boot into a broken recovery. I have also plugged it into my computer and it doesnt communicate to it at all (makes sense, since it never boots into anything). I need to be able to reset my bootloader or force the bootloader into download mode.
Try removing the battery and while holding down the three button combo insert battery. With luck it'll go into D/L mode.

Hi everyone,
I tried installing CWM on my Rogers i474m w/ 4.4.2. I followed the steps on galaxys3root.com and it didn't work. It still boots into the stock recovery even though ODIN said the flash was done successfully.
What am I missing?
This is the 2nd phone I try to root. The first one worked well.
I found the issue. I had to pull the battery as soon as ODIN Passed. Otherwise, the phone overwrites the recovery when rebooting.
I recommend using TWRP as CWM has not been updated for a long time.
Hi to everyone.
Recently, I wanted to mod my tablet (SM-T805 chagalllite) and install the TWRP, and then a custom ROM. I followed a guide, dowloaded the twrp.img.tar file, dowloaded ODIN (3.13) and continued. I started my tablet in Fastboot/Odin mode, selected the file under the AP checkbox, connected it to the computer and then flashed the recovery. It said PASS and immediatly after it rebooted I pressed the key combo Power+Home+VolUp but it started normally. When I returned to the fastboot mode, it said KNOX WARRANTY VOID 1, so it did something. But simply the recovery wont start up, although I retried another 3 times. I tried with the AutoRoot package, it did the red android thing, the SuperSu app was there but the Root Binary wasn't. Any help?
P.S:
The twrp and odin are both at last version.
Nevermind, I solved my problem. I installed CF Autoroot which reinstalled stock recovery, and flashed TWRP using its official app.:good:
I need help was using twrp 321 some thing for quite a while and had no issues flashing ROMs back up ect. But I tried to do a restore and it failed due to , unable to mount system.

Ok I fixed it the back up from twrp curreupted the recovery partition. Even reinstall twrp doesn't work or trying to get the stock recovery. To fix it you need to download the entire stock ROM and install the ap via oden in odin mode. My system didn't even boot stock but this fixed the recovery partition and could flash twrp and install a custom ROM
