Constant loop in recovery when installing ROM - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I've installed in the past the Rocket Tab ROM.
Now I've made a full wipe, to install a new rom. I have the PhilZ recovery.
I can install the rom without a problem. But when I reboot the tab, it enters in the recovery mode again, and not in the new rom. I've tried many roms but no one works. It loads the recovery again and again.
Anyone knows what the problem is? I need the tab so much to read my books

Try to reflash the recovery through the recovery, reboot recovery, wipe system and install Rom again. This should work but no guarantees.

[Q] Won't boot rom or cwm recovery - only download mode

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

[Q] Problem flashing new system, boots into recovery

Hello,
I flashed my device (recovery only) with Odin, installing TWRP v2.6.3.0. The recovery works properly. After that, I did a complete wipe and I flashed my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 WiFi with this ROM. Unfortunatelly it boots into recovery every time and I can't install any ROM on my device. Is there any way how to fix it, or am I completely lost? I've installed cynaogen mod in similar way on my I-9000 and everything worked fine, so this accident was a real surprise for me. Please, could anyone help?
Regards,
Max

I am having the same problem with my G Tab 3 7 -ST217 from Sprint. I have root access. At first I could only reboot to recovery ONCE after Odin. Now I can consistently reboot to recovery. Every time I try to install anything from a zip in TWRP then reboot, it didn't install and instead restarts the factory android and goes through the first time startup and update cycle. Can't seem to get a ROM to stick.
When you do the ROM installation with TWRP, do you see a message after installation saying "unable to mount" or something similar? If so, the ROM was not installed and the device would either stop at the boot logo or restart to recovery. You might need to try flashing a different recovery.
Thats one theory. The other is that there was a problem with the ROM. Maybe corrupted during download or something of that sort. In which case re-download and if a md5 is there run the checksum and try again.

[Q] Cannot install custom ROMs anymore

Hi,
I am on CM 10.2 nightly. Everytime I try to install an different ROM on CWM 6.0.27, eg. Android Revolution 22.0, the installation procedure goes fine. During Aroma installer I choose to wipe user data partition and so on. Then after reboot my phone stucks on "samsung galaxy note gt-n7100" screen. Afterwards I have to go back into recovery and have to recover my rom so the phone will boot again. Really strange. Any suggestions why my phone is behaving this way?
Regards, heinzelrumpel

Change the recovery, often Philz 5.15 works best with Aroma installer.

Unfortunately this does not do the trick Still stuck after reboot.
I can't tell you why its happening, but what I've done in the past to get around the issue is to flash a stock rom with Odin, then flash a new recovery before going to another custom rom. If you worry about the Knox warranty bit being set you'll have to find an old 4.1 image somewhere to flash. Since I'm past warranty I don't care anymore.
Good luck!
Wipe data cache dalvik format system etc nstall the new rom reboot and after go again to recovery and factory reset it.

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.

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.
