Hello XDA folks, Im a true noob at this flashing ROM stuff. I followed the [ClockWorkMod] for the SGS4G Public Beta 3 [05/12/2011] thread. To a "T" so I thought I replaced the recovery binary and rebooted the phone and put the update.zip file on the sd and once i booted into recovery all I get is the Glaxaxy S TM. 4g boot up screen is there a way to fix this any plz help.
Did you actually get into the recovery screen? It will be blue text, stock recovery.
Then from there you will click the volume down button to highlight Reinstall Packages and once you click that it will boot into CWM.
Was the update.zip file you put on your SD the CWM Beta 3 zip? Just clarifying, because I believe that is what you were saying.
Also how are you booting into recovery? There are few ways to accomplish this.
With the phone off, hold the two volume buttons (up and down) and then press the power button.
When the Galaxy S 4G screen appears you can let go of power but continue holding the volume buttons till it loads into recovery (blue text).
I accidentally did.that yesterday I just reflashed stock rom with odin and it got fixed

I believe it's actually press&hold power up, then press volume up.
Moot point for the OP, but good to know for future problems.
Hey guys when I encountered the problem earlier, I did hold volume and power all I got was a blue screen. How do I exactly go about re flashing recovery

To get to STOCK recovery from fastboot, it's select "boot recovery" then power FIRST, then while HOLDING power, it's volume up. You can't do it the other way.
To flash a new recovery, it's fastboot mode on the phone, then on your computer (hooked to the phone via usb) the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". (recovery.img is replaced by whatever name your recovery image actually has.)
Simply put, I can't boot into recovery after installing MIUI 1.9.30.
Three finger method won't work (holding volume keys and power) *no one lecture me how to do this method either, I know the proper method to do this and have done it hundreds of times* Going through the software method through the ROM itself won't work, and neither will reinstalling Clockwork via ROManager. So in other words, I'm stuck and have no idea what to do.
Any ideas?
worked for me

Okay so if you were one of the few people who lost recovery for some weird reason "ME" no need to unbrick to stock and re-flash I have a solution.
1: Download sgs kernel flasher
2: Download CWM community kernel
3: Flash kernel via sgs kernel flasher "unchecked the reboot button" when done flashing turn phone of "SHUTDOWN"
4: 3 finger until the Samsung logo pops up keep holding the buttons the screen will go black then Samsung logo will come up, let go of the power button and keep hold the volume up and down buttons "For about 20 seconds" then let go it should boot into Red CWM after a few seconds.
5: Go to install zip from SD card go all the way down and run update.zip it will boot back into RED CWM run update.zip again and it should now boot into GREEN CWM
6: From here Re-Flash MIUI "New Release would be smart", Wipe Fact,Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Flash, reboot at sign of Samsung logo pull battery, 3 finger into blue recovery and flash again.
7: Presto you should be set and have recovery back.

if you're running miui, try posting in the miui Q/A, you might get more help.
Sounds odd that you would lose recovery like that.
idk..you can try downloading "quickboot" from the market.
it has some extended power menu options, including recovery.
if you lost recovery somehow, odin or heimdall will be your friend.
see my sigs
Its common many have lost the recovery including ME when flashed MIUI, check the OP of the MIUI thread by boost there is how you can get the recovery back.

I flashed a zip, and now my phone won't boot! When I press power and volume down, it doesn't boot into recovery either! Like it vibrates twice but then just doesn't boot! Please help!!!!
I was also running cm10 liquidsmooth, and when I try to boot to recovery it just vibrates twice and the screen shows the samsung logo for like teo seconds. Then the screen just goes blank. I seriously need help!
Can you give a little more information, like how you went about the installation, your source for information and if your root worked properly the first time you did it on stock

It's the whole volume rocker (volume up and down) and the power button, to get into the recovery. Release the power button when it vibrates but keep holding the volumes until your in the recovery.
And make sure you do full wipes when switching roms, wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache, and system. Or run Blackhole System Wipe.
When I hold on both volume buttons and press the power button and release it, it just flashes the samsung logo and the screen goes blank.
Basically everything has been working right before, everything was fine. The rom worked perfectly. After I flashed a zip (not a rom, it was just a camera app) I hit reboot in the cwm and then it just wouldn't boot, not into recovery either.
Try holding all of them for a minute or two. Sometimes it takes a bit. From what you have said nothing should have borked your cwm. If all else fails, there's always the option to use Odin to reflash back to stock or reflash cwm.

Cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591622
I always hold all three until the samsung logo appears, then I release the power button. When CWM comes up I release the volume buttons.
If you can still boot your ROM you should just use terminal emulator. (Download it from the play store if you don't have it on your rom). *requires root*
Type su
confirm root access.
then type "reboot recovery"
That should do it...
OR...
You could just ODIN CWM back on your phone if something got corrupted...
I used odin and followed the instructions.... but now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
oh thank goodness, I flashed CWM through odin again and it worked. Thank you all.
I was flashing a new ROM and I got stuck at the google logo upon bootup. I tried holding power button to power it off. It does, then turns right back on.

press both power + volume down until it boots on bootloader. then choose recovery, press power and do necessary steps to flash a new rom
You need to restore your cwm or twrp backup in this case...
You phone's not restarting properly coz the custom myt have been missing a file or you might have forgotten to clear the data,caches and delvik cache before installing the custom rom zip file...
As of now...i recommend you restore your backup first

In TWRP, I wiped everything but internal storage. I thought it was a norm coming from a S4 but I don't think I should have done that now. I have the factory image downloaded. Just trying to get into fastboot mode.
I got into fastboot mode. the mistake I was making was that I was stop holding the buttons once the phone powered off.
Yeah...this boot stuck thing happend to me too...during custom rom installation...

If you long press the power button to force a reboot as soon as the screen goes off hold down the volume down button and it will put you into the bootloader screen, Getting to recovery from there is a piece of cake. Holding the volume down button at the beginning of a reboot (when screen is off) to get to the bootloader and/or recovery screen has worked on every device I've tried it on. Just one more way.
