Android keeps rebooting to recovery - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted my Samsung Tab 3 SM T-110 running kitkat 4.4.2 an year back and flashed CWM but i forgot about it so what i did was flashed CWM again but it didn't flashed properly i guess and i didn't remember that i installed CWM instead of TWRP so after downloading CWM ROM Manager i rather selected TWRP... Then i booted into recovery mode through the ROM Manager app and now i am not able to go back to system.... I have tried factory reset and formatting dalvik cache but nothing seems to work, the phone gets back to the recovery screen... Please Help.
Thank You

install latest recovery for your device and flash it using odin.
Should fix your issue and boot your device to touchwiz

On the SM-T110/111 is only allowed to Boot Ingo Recovery with the Button Combi, if you try an automaticly Reboot by APP you have an Bootloop to the Recovery

Screen stayed in samsung

Mine is stock 2.3.6 rooted.
I tried to flash other rom today after installing cwm.
However, I am not familiar with flashing...after flashing and reboot, the sreen only stayed in samsung
also I could not restore in cwm , as it said it failed to do( I pressed backup before in cwm..why it doesnt work)
and How could I install the stock rom again now?
download mode and recovery mode is available
I tried to use odin to install recovery again and the stock rom again.(installation is successful)
however, it just keeps rebooting(now showing the samsung-->GTS5660-->animation-->animation again-->animation again)
finally it is working now, as I tried to flash many times
However, I dare not to flash rom anymore..and I do not know really how to flash rom
go to recovery and do factory reset and then reboot

Im pretty sure your rom that you are running is corrupted, this has happened to me
when this happens recovery will not let you run that ROM. So it will
keep rebooting into recovery. Try this, go into recovery Wipe Data,Cache and Dalvik
then reboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing a Rom.
my rom is the orginal sumsung rom that came with the device only rooted.
i will try wiping the data/cach/dalvik and then maybe restore an old backup that i have.
thanks for the advice.
well it didnt work.
i also tried to recover a working version of my rom and still boot loop to recovery.
plus when i power it off and connect the power cord it startup automaticaly to recovery.

I think The onlyest way is to flash a Stockrom to your Tab.
Then try to flash a Recovery to your Tab again, but i prefere CWM or Philz Touch not TWRP.
maybe i should install philz on top of twrp and then restore old backup?
i dont think i can get the orignal frimware form samsung in my country.

The prob is, only with CWM or Philz you restore Backups froh there, is The backup froh TWRP you need TWRP as Recovery.
Download from sam The Version what is in The box .
well i found the orginal rom in .img file at samfirmware. i belive its pure stock - i know that someone of you can confrim this - but how to i flash it?
i belive is with odin buth as for the instracion. is it like flashin recovery with odin? if so i will follow that instracation and give it a go.
I have the same problem, did anybody figure this out?
ended up just reflashing the stock rom from odin instead of twrp and it worked.
Fix

So I've done this before, attempting to install a different type of ROM, the only way to repair this is to return to stock via Odin. Download the stock rom in the 10.1 dev thread, reboot into download, and flash via Odin.

Stuck in CWM / Crash on every Rom installations

Hi everyone
Sorry in case of repost.
I have a P5210 (Samsung Tab 3 Wifi). Once rooted everything was allright until I entered in recovery mode from the Rom Toolbox app.
I'm now stuck in a recovery loop mode and can't get out (CWM v6.0.4.7)
I've tried everything from factory reset / cache and dalvik cache wipe, to "fix" zips and so on. But nothing changes.
I've tried to reinstall CWM by putting a recovery image into a script and flash it through CWM. Seems to be done correctly, but when I reboot, it's still the same CWM (no update)
Eventually, i've tried to install some custom ROMs to start fresh : Every installation crashes at "WRITING SYSTEM PARTITION". I get black screen and a reboot.
And I've tried every custom Rom compatible with P5210.
Can you help me to get back to a clean configuration ?
N.

Hi
It seems you were on kitkat rom which may have updated your bootloader to kitkat version. The CWM needs to be updated to work well with kitkat. I had similar problem with my SM-T210, and solved the problem after updating CWM as per this post for T210:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
Your tab is different from mine so i think you need a fresh stock rom install using odin, then find an updated CWM for your tab.

Can't get into recovery

I installed CM 11 on my Xiaomi redmi 1s,everything was working fine except for 2 or 3 little things but a major problem occurred when I thought of flashing another ROM and now I CANT ACCESS RECOVERY MODE no matter what I try. I tried the button combination(power switch+volume up), tried adb and even tried apps like ROM Manager and, TWRP Manager and quick boot but haven't found any luck. Whenever I try to boot into recovery the phone gets stuck on the MI boot logo. I need to flash another rom and can't seem to find any other way to wipe y phone data, cache and dalvik cache and so I need help to counter this issue.
Please help me.

Flash any custom recovery via fastboot mode
Download .img format of custom recovery
Boot into fastboot mode n run this command on CMD
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
Filename can be anything depending on name of image file you download
Not Working for me

I am afraid this solution doesn't work for me. My thoughts are that I have somehow lost my recovery partition. I accidently installed CM 11 without first installing a custom recovery. My bad! but have yet to find a solution that works.
Try flashing a recovery using Rashr-flashtool
And boot to recovery (Vol up + Power , for 10s even after screen is on )
Solved

I solved my problem by using Flashify app but I had to use it every time as recovery would not stick. I flashed trwp and installed stock (english version) rom and stock recovery and everything is working fine again. I will not make the same mistake again. I have since installed CWM recovery through stock recovery so now I can flash roms in peace again.

My phone won't wipe nor flash a new rom/recovery

Hi there. Here I have my t989 with stable cm11 by Sultanxda and twrp 2.7.0.0 installed.
Everything was fine until I wanted to try 5.0.1.
I got into twrp and did the usual wipe and install ParanoidAndroid 5.0. It failed.
Ok stuff happens so I just went restore my backup no big deal.
Now when I reboot back my phone looks as it were before BUT it reboots after 2-3 minutes in every time it boots back up.
So I thought the power button has problem but soon I figured it is not because my phone won't self reboot in recovery and download mode.
I went back to twrp and try to wipe it clean and install cm11 instead of restoring to my previous backup.
Wipe says successful, install says successful, reboot system. And only to find myself still in my old Rom and nothing was wiped.
All my apps are still there blahblahblah. I tried to update my twrp through twrp manager but phone reboot before it finishes installing.
I grab my odiin and try to update recovery there. Odin says success. Goes to recovery only to find its still in 2.7.0.0
Download a stock .tar and flash it with Odin. Odin says success, boot up and still in my old cm11 rom...
Now I went out of option but ask for help. I have done flashing for 3 years with this phone and I have never gotten this problem before.
Please Help
