Bricked recovery - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I think I bricked the recovery for my phone. The OS does boot, and I can get to "download" mode. If I try to get in to recovery, whether its with vol-up+vol-down+power or rebooting to recovery from the OS, the phone just loops. It shows the Galaxy S logo than the screen goes black than back to the logo. I believe when I flashed the 2.3.3 ROM, it got screwed. It worked before hand. When I flashed the ROM via Odin, on the first attempt, it wiped something than failed. Than I got an icon on the phone (a phone icon with a ! and a computer screen icon) and wouldn't do anything past that. I again reflashed the ROM and the OS came up, but noticed the recovery doesn't work anymore. I've tried to flash the once more for good measures, and I tried the modified recovery binary, but same results. I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get with resolving this.
Thanks

I actually resolved this by flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696.

Cannot boot to OS

My Transformer said there was an update today I ignored it but later on my daughter clicked ok to allow it.
The system rebooted to the screen with the triangle and the android logo.
After it sat like this awhile I held the power button until it rebooted. It rebooted into roach's recovery v3.2.0.1 and keeps rebooting back into recovery. I tried to cold boot the os. I tried flashing the newer touch recovery hoping that would help also. Nothing I tried has helped ... the system just reboots back into recovery.
Anyone have an idea of what to try?
The system was running a stock rooted ICS.
My Windows 7 system does see it as an "Asus Android ADB Interface" So maybe that could be some help?
I got it fixed.... I kept flashing roms until one finally booted.

Stuck in Update boot loop Please Help!!!

I was rooted with CWM recovery. I odin flashed stock with root injected and then flashed via odin stock kernel and recovery. At this time I was able to pull the update and the device restarted to install. Upon 100% completion the device rebooted as I woudl expect but upon reboot it goes right back into the install, hits 100% and does the same thing. It appears Im stuck in a update boot loop. Has anyone else experienced this?
I did a odin restore with Stock 8013.tar with root injected but upon reboot once odin completes it goes right back into this update loop. Someone please help!!!!

Ok I'm backup and running. I had to flash "HighonAndroidCWMRecovery" via odin to get past the update loop. Any ideas why this woudl be? I'm running stock with root and custom recovery. If I flash stock recvoery again and attempt the update do you think the same thing will occur?

Stuck, can't restore factory settings
I tried to unroot my Galaxy note 10.1 wi-fi and have caused such damage that it won't boot up. I have tried to press the power and down volume and I either get the Black welcome screen stuck, requesting I download the md5 file (which I have tried and doesn't work) or asks to use Kies to boot, but my laptops won't even pick up the device, they recognizes that there is a new device connected but it can't read it!
In the top left hand corner it reads
ODIN MODE (in red letters)
Product name: GT-N8010
Customer binary: yes (20 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System status: Custom
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance

I have same Problem
My only response would be to go to sammobile and download as close to shipped rom as you can (must be for your region and carrier, if from carrier), updated rom is fine. Make sure the download ISN'T corrupted by doing an MD5 check.. Also before f;lashing, make sure you exit KIES as this can screw up the connection in ODIN.
Put in Download mode, hold down volume and power until it says a scary warning, ignore the warning and press up volume.
Flash with ODIN making sure re-partition ISN'T ticked, when it finishes flashing turn off power.
Go to recovery by holding up volume and power button until it goes into recovery.
Wipe data/cache and then wipe dalvik cache.
Reboot and see what happens.
Good luck.

Not working, not go the Recovery Mode, Only Samsung Logo.
I'm having similar issue as Odin keeps failing when trying to flash ROM.
Does anyone know the commands to do it through ADB? I've done it before on my nexus7 but don't know the commands to exactly use for the note. I still can't get into recovery. Only can get into that ODIN mode. I have all drivers and Android ADB installed on PC.
It seems like nothing will write to the NAND. Although my flash count changes now showing my attempts. I might have no choice but to call Samsung and file a warranty claim. I just don't want to lose all the pictures and info that's in my tablet.
Well I got my tablet back yesterday from Samsung. They fixed it. The report showed they replaced some piece that burned out. I forgot the name of it. Unfortunately all my info and stuff was erased. So I had to reinstall everything manually. At least my tablet working like new again. So glad to have it back. Been like a month or so since I've been able to use it. My nexus 7 and galaxy s3 was holding me down in the meanwhile.
This note is a great device. IM seeing again why I've missed it so much. Works flawlessly on stock Tom.

recovery boot issues - red triangle, then reboot

I'm having issues getting recovery to work on a Verizon version xoom. I first flashed CWM version 4.0.0.4. The first time I tried to boot into it, it was stuck on the android with the red triangle for a long time before finally getting into it (coincidentally when I was hitting the volume key, don't know if that's related). Anyway, since then I haven't been able to get into it. It will be suck on the red triangle screen for a minute or two before rebooting into the stock rom (I'm running stock ICS). Since then, I've tried flashing the new TWRP 2.2.2 or whatever version it is and it has no effect. It's still doing the same thing. Any clue what's wrong?
So what I'm reading is suggesting that the android guy I'm seeing is the stock recovery. I'm not sure how that's happening. I'm installing the recovery using fastboot on my PC and being in the bootloader on my xoom. The prompts on both appear to confirm success.
I haven't tried this yet as I'm at work, but I think I've got the issue sorted. The following is what appears to be happening from what I've read.
1. I've still got the custom recovery stalled. When the Android guy pops up, one needs to press volume up to enter the options. Otherwise, it reboots.
2. The recovery flashes are taking because I'm booting back into the rom after a flash. The system's built in recovery protection is re-flashing the original recovery at that point.
3. To make my CWM/TWRP/whatever flash stick, I'll need to power down and then boot directly into the recovery.
I'll post again tonight to say if this works. Hopefully this thread can help out others who have the same issue.

[Q] SGH-I727R Cannot boot into recovery

Hi, hope someone can help out with this.
I originally tried to flash a ROM to my phone that was not for the I727, and the flash failed, so I decided to recover to stock. I followed (carefully) the steps to recover to stock and eventually got Odin to flash the stock ROM. I was unable to flash the ROMs from the links provided, but when I tried the K0nane link, it PASSed. But, after doing that I cannot boot into recovery, and when I turn the phone on it's stuck at the splash screen.
I can still get into download mode and Odin recognizes the phone, and I can flash the K0nane ROM, and I've done that a few times now with the same result.
Where do I go from here?
-UPDATE - I just tried again...was able to flash the K0nane rom through Odin. When Odin rebooted the phone it just stays on the splash screen. I waited last time for 20-30 minutes, with no change. Hoping I did not mess up the phone beyond recovery.
Pull battery, boot into recovery, factory reset.

Like I mentioned, I can't boot into recovery. It shows the 'Galaxy' text screen, then just goes black instead of going into recovery.
I think I\m on the way now. One thing in the troubleshooting list I hadn't tried.....try it on a different computer. Tried it on my Windows 7 laptop and it worked. Now going to try again to install cwm and custom rom.

Galaxy S7 stuck in bootloop

I've been trying to flash TWRP recovery via Odin on my S7 (G930W8), however I would constantly get the verification error. Now I'm trying to reflash the stock firmware but it gave me a Fail on Odin. This is probably my fifth time reflashing the stock rom, and it worked previously today but then it decided it had enough and started giving me a bootloop I guess lol. But yeah, everytime I try reflashing the stock now it fails to do so. I'm absolutely sure I have the right firmware.
My phone is stuck on a bootloop now with the Samsung text and black screen. I can get to TWRP recovery via volume up, power button, and home button, but I can't really do anything there, not even full wipe as it tells me it couldn't mount or something. I can get to Download mode though.
Any advice? I'm really stuck right now.
EDIT: So it looks like this worked: I turned off the device via recovery mode, and then flashed my stock firmware.
