the problem started when i reboot my skyrocket then i entered CWM then i went to extras and " format /system " i just did it and reboot my device and it didn't turn on the samsung logo just appear and disappear every time i turn on the device
...
and now i can't enter CWM to flash a custom ROM ... can any one help me to enter it or recover my device
Why would you wipe your OS without flashing a new one? It won't boot because it has nothing to boot. Shut the phone off and boot into cwm manually.

Please tell me you didn't really do that.
The ONLY reason you should format /system is if you're installing a new ROM, and even then you should flash the ROM pre-reboot. Simply put, formatting /system erases the Android OS.
Check the stickies for info on re-flashing stock.

Hold vol and down and power button. When you see Samsung let go off the power button but still hold the volumes

It depends on if your phone is US or Canadian. I think you should push both volume up and down plus power. Let go of power button as soon as phone vibrates, hold on to volume buttons until CWM shows up. There's no point to let them go when you see samsung/model number, sometimes it goes right to boot if you let go of the volumes to early. That's why i usually hold both of them down until i see CWM.

Hey all, i wiped my system in TWRP recovery and when i hold power, home, and vol down, i get to the TWRP splash screen but then i reboot. Any suggestions?
bump please help
So it will not boot into TWRP fully? How many times have you tried cuz if you rebooted accidentally after wiping system (I've done this), it takes a few tries.
Alternatively, you could Odin flash TWRP (file is in Open1your1eyes0 root thread) and try booting into TWRP then. This increments your flash counter.

No problem. You're saying its booting to the TWRP logo or booting to the Samsung logo? Just wanted to clarify.
Also, hold: power, home, and volume then once it boots release the power button. That seems to be the only way I can cold boot into recovery.

Yeah i hold home, power, and vol down, then it goes Samsung screen > Samsung Galaxy SIII screen > blue TWRP splash screen > reboot to system and freezes. And another thing, if i odin flash this TWRP, will it wipe internal storage by any chance? Its happened one too many times to me

Hmm, weird. What were you doing before which led to this?
Nope, it doesn't wipe internal storage. Just overwrites your recovery partition. When Odin reboots your phone, pull the battery then try booting straight to TWRP. If you still can't boot into recovery try the same steps but flash CWM, flash a rom, and then reinstall TWRP via GooManager.

Just flashed it and it still wouldn't fully boot TWRP. I'm about to try CWM now. What happened was i came from LiquidSmooth AOSP and I was ready to flash Hyperdrive Touchwiz so I wiped all the partitions and flashed the zip. The Aroma Installer froze before it started so i battery pulled and figured I'd retry. It wouldn't boot and now I'm where I am now.

Well here is the deal. I was trying to install twrp recovery but couldn't get into odin mode..I tried vol- & pwr, vol+ & pwr..but to no avail. Only way to boot into odin mode is with adb commands, but when I go into odin mode it doesnt display my flash count or model of the tab. Any help would be appreciated..

Yeah its blank only if you use adb or the device reboot options for some reason. I guess since if you use volume buttons it shows a warning screen but doesnt with adb. You can check flash count and stuff in TriangleAway.

press both power + volume down until it boots on bootloader. then choose recovery, press power and do necessary steps to flash a new rom
You need to restore your cwm or twrp backup in this case...
You phone's not restarting properly coz the custom myt have been missing a file or you might have forgotten to clear the data,caches and delvik cache before installing the custom rom zip file...
As of now...i recommend you restore your backup first

In TWRP, I wiped everything but internal storage. I thought it was a norm coming from a S4 but I don't think I should have done that now. I have the factory image downloaded. Just trying to get into fastboot mode.
I got into fastboot mode. the mistake I was making was that I was stop holding the buttons once the phone powered off.
Yeah...this boot stuck thing happend to me too...during custom rom installation...

If you long press the power button to force a reboot as soon as the screen goes off hold down the volume down button and it will put you into the bootloader screen, Getting to recovery from there is a piece of cake. Holding the volume down button at the beginning of a reboot (when screen is off) to get to the bootloader and/or recovery screen has worked on every device I've tried it on. Just one more way.
