Hello everyone,
I recently have been doing some beta testing for ROMS and one of them soft bricked my phone and I could not get access to CWM anymore (I have this issue where from powered down state I can never get directly to CWM) so I went into odin and flash the stock rooted ROM. It said it went well but I just get to the bootanimation and it just loops. I could just flash the recovery via ADB except the stock verizon rooted ROM comes with ADB debugging off by default so that is not an option. Currently I am flashing the ROM again via odin to see if maybe that will fix it.
I have a couple nandroid backups and I was just wodnering if there was a way that I could flash CWM via odin and just boot into it and restore the backups instead of having to flash the whole ROM.
Also is anyone else having problems booting into recovery from power-off?
Thanks,
Ljbaumer
First to get to recovery its
Vol up+home+power
Vol down takes you to downloader mode
And there is a odin version of cwm in the development section

Also im not sure why you want to flash recovery thru odin when it trips the flash counter...just use ez recovery and eliminate that issue.
Try pulling the battery to get out of the boot screen, hold volume up/home/power to get into stock recovery, then wipe data/cache. Then you should be able to boot up the phone and flash recovery via the ez recovery app.

Thanks, I completely forgot that I might need to wipe the data and cache after flashing from ODIN. Anyways, I did that and went into EZ Recovery and flashed CWM 6.0.1.0 and I was able to restore my backup of CM10.
Thanks guys,

I am running crespo cm7 and want to put savaged zen rom on here but I can't get into recovery. I hit vol up and power and goto recovery but it just sits at the google screen. I flash clockwork recovery reboot to recovery and same result.
I have no clue what to do to get to recovery.
re-flash clockwork recovery using rom manager or manually flash it in bootloader mode

Agreed - I had a weird issue with ROM Manager and the latest CM nightlies, where suddenly I couldn't boot into Recovery.
Re-Applying CM via ROM Manager fixed the recovery issue (after a forced update of recovery through the app).
Hi guys,
I was running stock 4.4.2 and I rooted with DP Tool, and installed CWM apk recovery from this thread. I backed up using CWM, then unrooted using DP Tool to OTA update to 5.0.1.
I started the installation from kk, the phone rebooted but instead of starting the upgrade it sent me to recovery mode. I rebooted but it keep sending me to the CWM.
I tried to restore my backup, and tried to wipe data/factory rest, but nothing changed. So I tried flashing a new rom using LG flash tool, but when I pressed the Vol-UP button and connect USB to enter download mode, it sent me again to CWM recovery.
I don't really know the rest of CWM options, so is there anyway to get out of recovery mode, or get into download mode?
Thanks in advance
Hey guys... i've been trying to put a custom rom on this old p5113.... i've tried flashing latest TWRP on it with odin which odin claims its successful, but when i reboot the device and try to go into recovery i get back the original samsung recovery.... it's almost like it overwrites recovery at boot... i've read number of guides on this but i seem to be following the same steps they're suggesting.... am i missing anything obvious? from my understanding it's a straight up odin flash on custom recovery and then just use that to wipe/format and install rom + gapps.
Any ideas?

how are you doing it exactly, do you unplug the usb cable just as you see its "passed" with green status? or let it reboot itself? or are you rebooting it yourself? usually it will reboot itself into the recovery after it is successful, sometimes it goes to the system directly, generally the idea is to get into the recovery mode as soon as you flash it through odin. you should not let it boot and go to system( means don't let it start your rom, no samsung logo instead go to recovery first by pressing your volume up with power button. (if it's not going directly into recovery)
I tried to put Cyanogenmod 12 on my lg volt with twrp. It sent me to teamwin recovery 1st I couldnt get out of that. Then I looked it up online and it said to download a recovery.img file. After I did that it rebooted into cwm recovery mode and i formatted and wiped everything and it still reboots back into cwm recovery. Now im stuck in cwm recovery and when i try to hold vol down and power button it says factory resetting in progress and goes right back to cwm recovery.

It seems to me that you wiped your OS. If that is what you did then you'll have to flash a custom ROM or you can flash your stock firmware via PC, you'll have to root and install custom recovery again after flashing stock firmware.

Hey. I dont understand I flash the custom recovery with odin but when i go into recovery I have stock recovery. I have tried twrp and Clockwork. Non works, The flash process is passed and complete. I wait for the phone to reboot and let it start up shut it down. Then go into recovery mode. I have taken out the battery before it starts up and go into recovery straight away but still stock... what is going wrong? I have heard about bootloader But all say its no bootloader on for s2 plus. Any help is appreciated! Thank you. If something is unclear please ask. :good:I have tried 6 custom recovery's non works. but will flash

Your mistake is you are letting it boot into system before you boot into recovery. It doesn't work like that, you obviously haven't carefully and completely read the instructions to install custom recovery via Odin.
You have to flash the recovery and then boot immediately into recovery BEFORE allowing the device to boot into any other mode, otherwise, it reverts back to stock recovery.
Here is the simplest way to do this without screwing it up.
When you flash the recovery in Odin, make sure the "autoreboot" option in Odin is UNCHECKED, then flash the recovery. When it is done flashing, disconnect the device from PC, then, you have two options, either remove the battery then immediately reinsert the battery then boot into recovery using the button combination or disconnect device from PC then power the device off then boot into recovery using the button combination.
