what did you flash???
thats not a normal booting screen. have you tried to redownload and flash what you were flashing before? did you make a nandroid backup in recovery before you flashed? give us a bit more info please.
Did you make a backup of stock rom??
If yes
Reboot your phone and go to clockworkmod recovery and restore your previous rom
If dont have it ... you need to download the stock rom from anywhere else and copy into your phone
For copying the downloaded rom to your phone ,you can use also the clockworkmod recovery for mounting the sd.!!!

Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

I am on brainmasters miui rom, and whenever I try to go into recovery the phone just gets stuck on the Google logo and doesn't move, forcing me to pull the battery. I have tried reflashing the recovery numerous times and idk what to do from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

reflash recovery. did you flash recovery through rom manager the first time? flash recovery through fastboot.

I got the same problem after flashing the Clockworkmod 5.0. Then I flashed the 4.0x version (found in the rooting guide on XDA) and it's now working smoothly

You should make sure you are erasing the old recovery before flashing a new one. This can be done as a fastboot command or through the advanced options in rom manager.

You need CWM installed then you remove the bad ROM.. Least that is how I've always done it
Reflash CWM Recovery, download this stock Nandroid and extracted it to your clockworkmod/backup folder then restore it in the CWM Recovery

Three finger salute
Hold volume up, volume down and power until you get to the Samsung splash screen then release the power button. You should find yourself in recovery after the kernel splash screen. If it goes into your boot animation, you failed and should do it again.
Edit: I saw that most of your other stuff is with the SGSIII. Do you have a SGS4G that you are doing this on, or did you wonder here by mistake?

Pull the battery first, with the USB unplugged. Put the battery back in, then do the three finger salute. That's what I do when reboot loops happen for me...

yes guys! forget about the s3 sig, i have it also, but i rooted a sgs4g of my friend and installed Ccustom rom, not he had this issue after like 5 months i told him to reflash the ROM and hes in a bootloop, he CANT get into recovery :/, he cant boot only odin!.
If you are doing this via proxy (him actually doing what you tell him) then tell him to get rid of odin and download one of the Heimdall one clicks. If you can get into bootloader mode you can flash a back to stock.
Also If you pull the battery and wait a couple minutes then put it back while holding the three buttons sometimes that will jumpstart recovery mode.
We have an awesome guide on how to get back to stock gingerbread which will allow your friend to flash back to a stock rom if he can get into download mode. Full guide with pictures

Well of he is using odin, this is a better one click for him. You get rooted with a cwm kernel.
