I tried to flash stock rom for my sgh i747. in the process i flashed the recovery also in hopes that it would make my phone boot. now my phone still doesnt boot, stock recovery doesnt work, and i tried installing philz but that didnt work either. i really need some help here! my phone is on UCUFNJ1.
We will need more detailed info if you don't mind.
What were you on before?
What "stock rom" and what recovery exactly did you flash.
How did you flash?
You said it "still doesn't boot" but we're able to flash it, do you mean it just won't boot android?
Can you boot download mode?
What was wrong that made you need to flash the rom and recovery to make it boot, and how did it get to that point to begin with?

I went back to odin to get a fresh of my gs3. I did the 4.1.1 update and now i have an issue.
I can't seem to install any recovery on my samsung galaxy s3 in order to root it.
I have tried just about all the downloadable clockworks out there and even tried twrp...its no go. I do not know why this is happening because I never had this problem before when rerooting my gs3.
Any one faced this before? suggestion?
You need to flash recovery via odin.
If you want just flash root66 lastest firmware which is in rooted version too.
Stock recovery is overwriting your custom recovery. Need to access recovery mode after you flash, but before the device can boot (so that the custom recovery can disable to automatic flashing script).

I am not quite sure what you are saying here about needing to access recovery mode after I flash...I flash the clockwork recovery mode and when i go to access it, i only see the stock.
I i reflashed odin again and decided to root using 4.0.4 ics...now it worked..I guess we can't flash over 4.1.1 anymore?
anyway, thank you both ^.^
The problem is with the newer roms, when your phone boots, your custom recovery is overwritten with stock recovery. This operation is done with a script that comes with the newer stock firmwares - it's built into the startup procedure. So when you flash a custom recovery with Odin, you need to drop to recovery mode before the phone ever gets a chance to boot into the OS, so that the custom recovery can disable this script. If the phone boots, it will wipe out your recovery. Do you understand now?

Oh now that make a lot of sense. So I was not suppose to reboot before going into recovery with 4.1.1...will keep that in mind next time!
Even though you're rooted, flash the 4.1 root66 in Odin. You don't want to go from ICS to JB via recovery, it doesn't flash all partitions. After you flash root66 in Odin, you will already be rooted. Then you can just flash a custom recovery.

If I remember correctly you can still root normally on the later builds, you just have to pop out you battery after you flash, don't let it auto-reboot, then you can put the battery back in and get to clockwork recovery.
Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards
im sorry if this has been asked before. i was very hesitant to post but ive been trying to resolve this issue for 2 days and browsing and reading as much as i can with minimal results. i am trying to update to 4.4 from 4.2.2. i initially had a hard brick but was able to restore life with the img file but am stuck there. it boots into paranoidkangdroid sometimes (which is the rom i used before it hard bricked but not the one on the img file i created...weird i think). i think the more reading i do the more confused i get. im not sure if i have to flash to stock to get the ota, or whether i can just flash a 4.4 rom. im not sure what other information i should provide. thanks for any help and again, sorry if this is inappropriate.
Does your phone boot into download mode? If it does, flash a custom recovery and custom ROM to at least get your phone into a working state.

i was finally able to get some where!
i used this method to restore my phone to 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
what steps do i have to take now to update to 4.4 and flash a custom rom?
do i first need to flash a 4.4 bootloader?
Personally, I prefer cwm over twrp.
Just copy a custom ROM to your external SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, data, system, install ROM, reboot.
Depending on the ROM you install, you may have to update your bootloader and modem.
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.
Hi. I have the gt-n5110 and I've tried everything to get out of this bootloop. Everything meaning - i tried using adb toolkit but degugging is not enabled, i tried restoring back to stock rom, i tried flashing a custom rom- no matter what i do I'm still stuck in bootloop. I currently have CivZ-Touch-6.0.4.4 on the tablet- which is the only way I'm able to enter into recovery. Once i flash anything else i will no longer be able to get into recovery. So... i can enter download and recovery right now, Odin recognizes my tablet, but no matter what i flash- oh, and btw when i flashed the stock rom and custom rom both passed. What am i missing? I don't know what to do now.
Do i need to flash a pit file? Or?... I don't have much knowledge on this. Please help me out.
