PLEASE HELP!! I have successfully rooted the device and was doing ok after flashing CWmod recovery 6.0.1 through E-Z recovery app and running Liquid Rom. I managed to be dumb enough to flash CWMod version 5.8.4.9 through Rom manager and when I rebooted my phone it got stuck in boot loop. I am able to get into CWMod 5.8.4.9 but I cannot restore my backup anymore. I can also data wipe and install a new rom, but it all just keeps going into bootloop and I cannot get past the samsung custom unlock screen. It first flashed that, then the android man pops up on the next screen like its loading something and then just keeps looping through the process. I did not use ODIN for any of this process and I dont know how to get myself back tothe point where I can reboot. Any help would be tremendously appreciated, because I'm dead stuck and in a panic. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Happend to me last night...
I made the same mistake... DO NOT download any recoveries from ROM manager. I found out the hard way... So the problem now is your phone is stuck using the recovery you downloaded. I am not sure of a quick way using that recovery if you can revert back but... My solution got me where I needed to be in order to get going again.
I had to use Odin to root to stock ROM. Yes when you wipe it will destroy your data but not your pictures, downloaded files, and other files you put on there. When I re-rooted with stock all my stuff for CM10, gapps, and the kexec CWM was there.
So use this guide...

Section 1!!!!! And follow the steps EXACTLY the way it says to.
This is why i have never liked rom manager...
The best solution for us to flash recoveries is ez recovery free from the market. I would use this going forward once you Odin back to stock

Yea I can get into recovery and download mode. I just can't flash anything. When I tried to do I get an error saying Brick and if I try to reboot it stays on Samsung logo. So right now I am back on stock with no way out.

I have done that and I am actually running my phone with the stock rom just fine. I encounter a problem when I try to flash a custom rom or superuser.

You need to keep trying to flash the super user zip. It may take 4 tries or so.

And if your rooted and have cwm. Wipe data/cache 3 times then flash the rom. If you get boot loop after that. Wipe data/cache again. If still no good use odin to flash the stock recovery. Tar. Boot into that the wipe data and cache and reboot
Thanks for info, let's see if I can get this to work

make sure if you watch the vid to pay attention to the fact that he is flashing a CUSTOM rom on that vid and not the superuser.zip so if your doing the superuser.zip DO NOT wipe data/cache just
-backup
-install zip from sd card
-reboot
I copied the video to a T and got the bootloop. so remember DO NOT wipe ANYTHING for the superuser.zip
So you weren't trying to flash a custom ROM?
I'm having this same issue with the cycling boot screen. I will get past the Samsung logo and into the custom ROM logo and then it will freeze and restart. I have used ODIN to revert LOTS of times now. I don't have a problem running the stock, but I have the problem whenever I try to flash a custom ROM.
I'm looking to go custom to get rid of all the bloat and I want to change the icons at the bottom of the home screen.
Basically the situation is a friend rooted his G2x and flashed Eaglesblood v5 (Just some extra info, not sure if relevant)
This is right after he rooted, but he forgot to make a nandroid backup AND he's stuck in a bootloop; apparently he can't access recovery either.
Any way to get out of this predicament? Or is he stuck with a brick..
Thanks!
P.S.
I'm pretty sure he should be able to access Recovery..
Well first things first, the only way to brick this phone is to hit it with a brick. Lol, anyways, lets see what we can do. He should re flash (nvflash) the recovery back again. It doesn't matter if he's in a boot loop, we've all had them. Next, he should boot into recovery, take note I'm doing this off of the top of my head, and if he wants Eaglesblood he should follow the EXACT installation instructions that the eb team has given. What happened was that he probably didn't wipe his data. I had many boot loops, and I never nandroid backup, don't need it, if you're careful.
I've never had to reflash a recovery, but try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
that will get him into recovery for sure, and then he can install a rom as instructed by the developer(ie wipe data), without boot loop. Idk if he knows, rom manager recovery doesn't work, it seems he is new.

Alright thanks, I've bootlooped a few times but recovery ALWAYS worked for me so I wasn't too sure what to do, figured NVflash would be the key; thanks again.
Yeah, sorry tried to fix the link from an archive to a thread, but I'm doing it from my phone, its a little hard to do lol. This should work though as it will get you into recovery.

Ok, here's what I did.
I have had my s3 rooted and running custom ROM's. I stupidly and accidently flashed google wallet as my recovery using ezrecovery. Now the phone only boots into odin mode. Is there a way to get recovery back onto the device so I don't have to wipe it and start over (possibly losing everything on my internal SD card)?
Thanks in advance.
Silly Noob.
I don't think you'll be able to get recovery back. You'll probably need to flash stock with Odin.

I ended up with the same result after flashing a custom recovery incompatible with Imo's Lean Kernel/Kexec.
I used ODIN to flash the Root_66 ROM, and all of my internal SD contents remained intact. After the clean install, I flashed CWM 6.0.1 through EZ-Recovery and successfully restored a backup.
The only thing that didn't restore was the kernel.
Awesome. Lesson learned. Think twice before clicking! Odin'd to route 66 and now have recovery of my back up. Thanks guys!
Actually, I in case anyone does something similar the phone booted rooted just how I left it minus the custom rom. I re flashed the rom and I am back where I was without even having to flash a recovery. Thanks again!

Hey guys, i am trying to flash the synergy rom. I originally tried in TWRP but my phone would reboot when in the aroma insaller. After odin flashing CWM because i couldnt get back into TWRP, i tried again. Same problem, reboots out of aroma. I would go ahead and call the .zip faulty but i tested further. I chose backup in CWM and when it got to data it rebooted. Then i tried to format data and it rebooted again. Anyone know what to do to get synergy installed?

Try flashing a rom without aroma, it has always cause problems for me but when I say something about it no one feels like it the problem

More and more people are having this problem. I did too. Phone would not stay in recovery or download mode long enough to do anything.
Hi guys. I have a Verizon S3 that is out of warranty that I've decided to mess around with since I've already upgraded to a G2. I tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery using heimdall, but couldn't get it to work. Since I couldn't get heimdall to work, I rooted and installed ROM Manager, then installed ClockworkMod Recovery from there. When I rebooted to get into recovery it says "Verizon has encountered unauthorized software" and wouldn't let me in. I booted normally, then tried to go into recovery from ROM Manager. I get the same message, but now I'm stuck in a recovery loop. I've tried flashing back through heimdall and Odin, but neither one is working for me.
I can get into download just fine, but everything I try to flash with Odin gets me a big FAIL message. Any suggestions? The phone was upgraded to 4.3 before I got a hold of it, which is probably my main issue.
Try flashing ORIGINAL STOCK. You have a locked bootloader and will not be able to install a custom recovery or any custom rom. But, once you're up and running you can root it.

Do you have a link to the original stock files for 4.3? I've looked, but can't find any.
Try this. It worked for me.
