TWRP/won't remain in recovery - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So I flashed the latest miui ROM and its been running fine but there were a few glitches so I wanted to flash back to recovery and do a clean reinstall. Ive had the phone for almost a year and have flashed many roms so ive got some experince here. The issue is that the phone will flash to the TWRP screen, but then go black, vibrate twice and boot back to the Samsung Galaxy screen. It never actually boots back into recovery. I've tried doing a battery pull several times and the same thing happens. I'm away from my computer at the moment so I'm wondering if I have to Odin back to stock. I'm open to suggestions..

That's the problem; it won't reboot into recovery. It merely displays the twrp blue splash screen and then goes straight to the Samsung Galaxy s3 boot screen where it hangs indefinitely

So essentially I can't get back to the ROM I was running before...

Your not understanding what I said re install the custom recovery. Using goo manager app reinstall twrp.
You do it from the phone not computer and not in recovery. Right from the app.

Can you download from ROM Manager from Play Store and accomplish the same? It should allow you to download a recovery of our choice, or let you know you already have a Recovery in place. But I also believe it is the ROM you install that makes the phone boot to recovery, so you may need to start recovery manually until you successfully install a ROM.

Backing up my rom

I recently purchased Rom Manager but every time I select backup current rom it reboots the phone to a screen that only has options to reboot recovery, reboot, recover, & shutdown. Its the same screen I saw when holding the volume up and turning on the phone. What am I missing?
Thanks

You need to root and install Clockwork Recovery to use the built in Backups of ROM Manager.
The phone is rooted and rom manager says clockworkmod is installed but Im still not getting anywhere
I just checked again, and I have 3.0.2.4 of clockworkmod installed.

Try installing clockwork recovery manually. It doesn't sound like you have it installed. At least not correctly.
AHA! Success... I redownloaded and flashed clockworkmod again and this time I was able to backup my rom.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated

A small rooting dilema

Hello everyone, I'm completely new to androids and I recently rooted my phone with CF's Auto Root.
I've been scouring the forum for information on how to resolve my problem but none that really help me with my specific problem
I want to re root with clockwork but can't find anything on it
Can someone help me out here? Sorry for sounding really dumb, I just switched over from apple this stuff is a completely different world to me
Completly factory reset your phone n try rooting again . If it fails, you need to root using the same software as you did earlier

So with my original method I've rerooted my phone. How do I install clockwork mod on a rooted phone if it wasn't installed in the rooting process?
Take a look at the "goo manager " app and TWRP instead of CWM.
But CWM also has an easy install app if your phone is supported. Just see if it is or not and go from there either way.

Thanks for answering Pennycake.
I'm on Rogers Carrier OEM firmware right now and I'd like to flash the international firmware as to rid bloatware to my Note 2.
Which app would you recommend me to backup my rom with?
I've successfully rerooted, I found the problem with my phone. After it had been unrooted it needed to be rebooted in order for some effects to take change. So through the original method of CF-Auto Root, I rerooted my phone. I've installed the standalone ClockWorkMod app but it doesn't seem to make back ups properly. Through the app I hit back up and it shows the time stamp I hit 'ok' and my phone shuts off and starts up in recovery mode only not in ClockWorkMod but Android system recovery <e3> or something along those lines with only options to: reboot, install updates from adb, wipe data, etc.
What am I doing wrong?
Try installing the recovert img using clockworkmod before backups, because its not an app error, it is a user error. Using chainfires root method means no cwm. Using odin or lemme guess, you have a gs3, unified tool kit you get cwm.

What recovery do you have right now? If it's twrp (team win) do that go with clockwork mod. Twrp (goo manager) is by far (in my opinion) the best and user friendly. But it's your call. And you don't have to un root and re root to do it. You just have to flash the new recovery via bootloader and it will work. For rom choices I personally like jedi xpx and jellybam. With jedi xpx you can overclock the sh*t out of your note 2 to 1920 and it's still stable.
I've used many recoveries and twrp is my choice hands down. And yiu make back ups easier. So dont unroot again and re root. Just download the latest twrp and flash through bootloader. but to each their own

I'm on the Galaxy Note 2 i317m in Canada. Clockworkmod isn't letting me back up, everytime I get the box with the timestamp to create a back up I hit 'ok', my phone reboots into recovery mode and its the stock recovery, so no option to restore. Also when my phone's model isn't listed in the clockworkmod flashing menu within the app. Is my phone not supported? The N7100 is the one listed when it asks you do confirm a phone model.

When I boot into recovery it says is Android System Recovery <3e> and below are listed a few options, reboot, wipe cache, install from adb, etc
Then you dont have twrp installed. And by the sound of it you dont have cwm either

Problem in recovery

Ughhh... I am in recovery and after a restore , I go to reboot system and instead of going to rom it brings me back to recovery again. I can't get out of recovery. What can I do????
Thanks...
i'm having the same problem right now too.
Boot into download mode and hit the volume down to cancel (reboot)
Should work for now until there is a patch.

you can also use Odin to flash an old version.
Just remember to either use odin to flash an old version or find one through ROM Manager, so you don't get stuck in a boot loop again next time you restart the phone.
I am having the same problem. Booting to download mode, selecting yes then pulling the battery got me out of it. Very frustrating to say the least.
Is there a problem with the new CWM touch that just came out I wonder?

[Q] How to factory reset without using screen?

So for some reason my phone decided it would not be able to sense my touch, and I need to factory reset it to fix it. The thing is, I have TeamWin Recovery Project as my recovery mode (google it, you'll understand), and it needs me to touch the buttons to reset it. How do I factory reset my s3 without using the phone directly?
Could flash cwm recovery then try

You can try doing it through android ADB, or by reflashing the ROM and such through Odin.

You can also install CWR (Non-touch version) from ROM Manager.

Installing TWRP over CWM

This may be a noob question but I've been stuck in Steve Jobs' walled garden for a couple years.
I've got the unofficial CWM recovery right now but I see they released a TWRP recovery now. Can I just use goomanager to install it or do I need to somehow remove CWM first?

Just install it. CWM will be replaced by TWRP.
I haven't heard anyone confirm goomanager working although I don't see why it wouldn't. People have confirmed flashify working. Like robocuff said though, flash right over cwm

I found an article saying use goomanager is all. Will give it a shot, now I can't find the article again.

You can also just get ADB and the prereq's setup on your computer and ADB push TWRP to your device. It's pretty easy. Pushing itself takes about 1 minute (including the time it takes to reboot to the bootloader, push the TWRP image, and reboot afterwards). Getting the ADB files and HTC drivers takes only a little longer (depending on your download speeds).
I grab flashify from then play store downloaded the IMG file from the op AMD flashed it through flashify. Worked perfect
