Are you able to boot into recovery with Power + Vol Up?

Dont use rom manager just use cwm.

I guess the next question would be...
Smok3thekid: do you have Clockwork Mod recovery on your phone?

To be honest I'm not 100 % sure I followed the steps of the nexus hacks on how to root and now trying to backup stock.img and I can't boot into recovery.
OK so I'm pretty sure I do I did it in rom manger

Looks like you're having issues getting into the recovery. That screen isn't the recovery, and I've had it before.
A lot of times, when you root on a stock rom, the phone deletes clockwork and restores the old recovery. That might be why you're having issues with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
The second post on this thread describes how to make clockwork stick. You might need to make use of some adb commands OR get an app like Root Explorer.
1. Flash the recovery
2. Follow the instructions in the second post before rebooting your phone.
That should do it.

Actually it is. That's the stock recovery, but it's options are too limited which is why we use CWM.
Rest of your instructions should help the OP out though, good on that.

Just flash clockwork again and flash a non stock rom, or remove the file as described if u wanna stay stock.

Ya I think it was just freezing up got into recovery and installed new rom
I do thank everyone help

True-say! Thanks for the correction

[Q] Recovery disappeared?

After wiping and re-flashing an MIUI rom, my recovery has disappeared! Like i cannot enter it at all, it's just stuck at the Samsung screen What do I do?

you can get it back by flashing a different kernel with cwm. Then reflash rom.

Sounds like you got a soft brick. Can you get it into download mode?
You will need Odin or heimdall to get it back to stock.
DEV section : one stop. Gtg or adam outler

HELP, Clockwork Recovery Loop!

I was trying to flash a eaglebloods ginger bread on my g2x... however every time the phone boots up it immediately goes into Clockworkmod Recovery and doesn't boot the OS. I've tried formatting and reinstalling the rom but i still get the same problem of the phone going directly into recovery instead of booting. Please help!

have you ever dropped the phone? Maybe the hardware button (volume down is stuck)is failing? I've never heard it automatically rebooting to recovery unless selected from the recovery to do so.

no i haven't dropped it or anything... the last thing i remember doing to the phone before it started doing this was clearing the cache and davilk cache...then it goes immediately to recovery...i just got the phone too, i hope i didn't brick it or something

you didn't "brick" it look up what that means in Urban Dictionary, before using it. If anything reflash the recovery with NVflasher or try a different rom.

tried reflashing clockwork and still have the same problem

tried a new rom? maybe use the clean up tool from in the dev section.

Re nvflash cwm. This has happened to me several times. Do not try to flash anything else until you nvflash cwm again. If that don't work use the rom for recovery in nvflash that is in the dev section.

Try using this NVFLASH technique. It should restore your ROM & recovery to stock.

But the question is did any part of the flash fail. Just like flashing a rom. You can get bad flashes. Happens to me lots of times.
Bottom line flash the rom for recovery through nvflash and it will solve it. I've softbricked myself wayyyy too many times and got it back the same way. If it turns on and shows any graphic its not hard bricked.

Make sure when you flash you wipe everything too, not just cache and dalvik cache

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.

[Q] (how to) stuck in recovery

I was adding a new rom to my phone when I accidentally hit reboot after I deleted everything off of it. Now when I try to flash stock onto it using odin it just vibrates every two seconds and doesnt do anything on the screen it's just black. Please help!!!

If your Odin flash finished successfully and that stuff is happening afterwards just pull the battery put it back in go to recovery and clear cache and factory reset. You you should be OK after that.

I tried that. It just keeps vibrating and flashes samsung. it won't let me get to the recovery to clear it all. :crying:

Does it go to download mode? I hope it does. Flash a cwm tar recovery clean up and then flash stock again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

yes it does go into download mode. can you please post a link for that so I no Im putting the right thing onto it. sorry Im a noob lol

Just reflash your stock with Odin one more time and watch it finish successfully. If reflashing didn't work read the thread for restoring to stock by vincom. Everything you need is there and don't hesitate to read more and make sure you know what you're doing. Don't check any extra options in Odin either!

I used this thread by vincom to return to stock with ODIN when I had an issue with my S2 and worked like a charm.
