I decided to give the new CM9 rom a try this morning on my verizon s3. after playing around a little i decided that I liked the stock rooted rom I had before so I was going to return to my nandroid backup. However, CM9 has its own recovery. I flashed my other recover, which was InvisibleK's recovery, which actually boots into a stock rom from recovery but never really goes into the recovery menu. So now I am stuck bootlooping because I think the recovery is trying to boot up but isnt finding the rom becuase I couldnt flash it from the CWM rcover that I was on with CM9. I can get into download mode but of course Odin is not seeing my phone for some reason. Anyone out there have anysuggestions? or did I just make myself a fancy new paperweight?
got odin
i got to odin now. i recognized my phone. I switched usb cords to the one that came with the phone
flashed stock rooted rom no luck
flashed stock rooted rom thought i was in the clear and now its bootlooping at the verizon boot animation. Im pretty sure i just have to factory reset but i cant get into recovery

Revert to complete stock with no root, then try to access the samsung recovery and do a factory reset from there.
unrooting brought me back to stock recovery
I finally sbf'ed back to the stock rom and being unrooted must have not allowed the phone to use the recovery I had installed and instead took me to the stock recovery where i was able to factory reset and all is good now. Phew..... that was a close one
thanks skander
Thank you very much. I actually tried that last night. I was getting desperate. wasnt sure if it would work or not but I thought maybe that and if that didnt work i would try flashing a different recovery from adb but i can never get adb to work from my pc. Anyway though, didnt matter. its all good now. Just got root back and learned a valuable lesson. thanks again....

Just rooted latest UCKK1 leak and installed cwm recovery but when I boot into recovery mod 3e recovery starts. Can anybody tell me how to boot into cwm recovery
If you'd done a serach you would have found out that were having trouble doing that.
The only way right now is to push a kernel with it.
Or installed Jordans version.

Any solution yet? I went to restore but could only get green, tried a restore anyway thinking it might be ok since it was a restore, then when I rebooted, now I'm stuck not getting past samsung logo. Not even 3 fingers is working. Kinda nervous...help?
I'm using my old school droidX, cuz my Infuse is in the shop
EDIT: Just used GTG's unbrick, finishing up my root then I'll be back up and flashing
Alright so just got the skyrocket and i've been really good with the galaxy s vibrant in the tmobile section so I understand the basics but I messed up.. I flashed the CMW in odin and that went fine then I tried to flash superlite 5.1 via CMW and I formatted everything except the emmc(external sd) and continued flashing the ROM. it got stuck in a bootloop... i tried the normal thing and pulled the battery and reflashed the ROM but same thing...I did have a backup but my dumb @$$ didn't think about it when i formatted the internal that it would wipe the backup I can still get into download mode but the computer won't recognize the phone nor will odin so I can't get back to stock. I can also get into recovery still but I can't get it to boot normal all it does is stay stuck in the bootloop not going past the samsung flash screen..can someone make a backup zip that i can flash or will this not work? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Just follow the process again and reflash it.
I've tried multiple times and continue to get stuck in the bootloop it almost sounds like it shorts before the phone goes back into the loop each time

wipe and flash the ics radio and then the rom
alright I will dig around and find the radio unless you have a quick link for me
modem can be found here
http://hive11.com/android/ics/ICSradio.zip
i would first do a darkside wipe
http://hive11.com/android/DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4.zip
first flash the darkside wipe. then flash the modem. then flash superlite. hopefully this fixes your bootloop.
thanks for the help I will try the above steps and report back when i can

Hi,
I'm getting killed with this device. I have a VZW XT926 Stock from reverting back to VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml this twice tonight:
I'll begin with how I started, I unlocked the SIM and threw a T-Mobile in there. No problems, so I rooted with Towelunlock, installed SuperSU and updated the Binary. Then I installed TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT through Fastboot. I could get into TWRP and all was right with the world. Then I tried to install cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-moto_msm8960 and I'd get stuck at the Moto dual core logo. No progressing. So I thought maybe the Factory reset wipe wasn't enough in TWRP so back to recovery and wipe everything, and flash again and reboot and same result. So now I can only boot to recovery I didn't backup my current rom, cause, ya know I'm a stoopid, and I have to factory reset to 4.4.2, and re root, and re unlock sim. Frustrated right now to the point of entertaining the idea of using this Verizon bloat rom rooted and not going for CM11.
I'm sure I'm too tired to keep this up tonight, and I'll probably really brick my phone if I keep at it without any sleep. My question for you is:
What am I doing wrong, what simple instruction am I missing when reading that is screwing me up? Because I'm too dumb/tired/whatever to figure it out without your help.
The snapshot is for the old kernel. Download the newest nightly. I ran into the same issue not knowing. Its that easy!
You need to start over jethro....back to HoM And this time make a backup of Stock before flashing a custom rom

Greetings and welcome to assist. The easiest way to install stock recovery is to reinstall a stock rom but twrp won't be causing your bootloop. I would try doing a factory reset first and if that doesn't work reflash a rom through twrp
Good Luck
