You can get into recovery from the bootloader.
Hold 'Vol -' then power on to get to the bootloader, press 'Vol -' to scroll down the list to recovery then 'Vol +' to select.
Thanks buddy. Got into the recovery, when I pressed on wipe cache. It would then go to a different page asking me what package to install.
Kind of like a bug, I was definitely pressing the correct one, then I tried the data factory reset, this acted like the cache wipe. It done something, then rebooted, my phone wasn't wiped.
Anyone else experienced this?

Yes definitely some bug in recovery the items don't correspond to the actions. 'Install from SD card' is in the list twice!
Nuthin' but a 'Moto G' thang

im sure i read somewhere that this could cause bother but i cant remember which wipe it was that was bad to do. can someone let me know (as i have it installed and may want to wipe my data at some point)
Hard factory reset (vol and power) safe?
Soft reset (android menu) safe?
Wipe via recovery safe?
Cheers

Wipes in recovery and factory reset are safe.
As I can remember on ported ICS when you hold the power button while the phone is ON it displayed three options Power off,restart and Restart into recovery.The bug that caused bootloop was that Restart into recovery.But now on official ICS we don't have that problem anymore..

Already reboot it..nothing happen..after factory wipe just reboot it back??what effect to my tab if i factory wipe it??does the app delete or what??thnks
if you factory reset it, all data present in your internal memmory will be deleted!
my advice is to backup all your content!
copy content to your pc
factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvic
then again copy your data back in your device
and you will have your problem solved!
if i removed ur doubts, plz hit like button

To do so, go to recover mode (POWER OFF+VOLUME UP+POWER BUTTON). Now, from here you can do the same.

heheh! ok ok! ill explain more! in recovery, i will do factory reset! ok. then here is no option to turn off the device. it only has reboot option. after rebooting, the apps load itself, and a new cache, data is made. My problem still exists! :crying:
Download rom manager free from the play store and flash custom recovery from there and now try to boot in recovery mode. You should have cwm recovery. Now from here do the things u wanna do and then it should work. If u flash cwm recovery from rom manager, it will still raise ur flash counter so to reset it root and download triangle away. I have a tutorial for it. See my threads.

Firstly if u have cm recovery installed.. Go to recovery, wipe data, cache n delvk cache, format Sd card n format system as well.. Then reboot the device.. If tab fails to boot, relax, go to download mode by pressing volume down key + power key, then volume up key to go into download mode n simply flash stock rom through odin.... Secondly.. Jus flash stock rom through odin.. If tab stuck at boot animation.. Go to recovery on the spot by pressing volume up key + power key.. N simply wipe data/factory reset.. Dats it..

No reason to wipe before flashing stock via Odin because it resets EVERYTHING in the process.

I was in recovery to flash a camera mod, after I flashed the mod I went to clear cache and dalvik just like I usually do when I flash something.
It got stuck on erasing cache for TEN minutes. So I held power to reboot it. Cache was then unmountable. Then I heard if that happens it's probably TWRP's fault, and that a Factory Reset would help. So I did that, and now my /system is gone and I unmountable.
I was able to get into bootloader before, but now that I'm at home it seems I'm having trouble getting there. What are some "force"/hard reset ways to get there? When I try to hold to reboot and hold Vol UP/DOWN it stays black??? Sometimes if i just press power it boots to Google and stays. From there I try to hold power to reboot and get UP/DOWN to get to bootloader but either my timing's off or I'm doing somethign wrong?? Help!

Can u get to recovery? You will have to download a Rom on your computer and side load the Rom to your phone.

Yes but it continuously says "E:Unable to mount /cache"
I tried wiping it but it takes <5 minutes, is this normal? Can I format it in fastboot...? Or should I just use Google Factory and not ever use recovery or what?
What's the long term fix since somehow TWRP can't wipe my cache without doing something horrible, and CWM isn't official?
EDIT: Finally cleared after like 10 minutes. I managed to adb push a stock untouchced zip through TWRP.
EDIT: What the hell? I booted and my phone is just like it was before?? Somehow data survived I guess? Lost no apps, no photos... Cool i guess? /thread
I had the same problem as you and after I flash back the stock camera I can enter the system normally except the internal storge won't be mounted. do you have any idea why...and how to fix it?

Took a factory reset and restored the data, it worked fine. they should put a giant warning in the camera mod thread about this kind of things.
So I manage to unbrick my phone without a computer. I already had c11 ROM on it. I forgot to wipe factory and wipe partition. I end up flashing a new ROM on top of my old one. When it reboot. It got suck on the bootload screen. Not actually stuck like just a loading bootload screen. It constantly boot flash on and off. Like the phone is turning off and back on. It never stayed on. So I took out the battery. Put it back in. Tried turning it on again. It did the same thing. So I hold down the power button+ volume up+ home key. This give you the adba to connect to the computer. When it comes up don't press up to connected to the computer. Press down to cancel. Once you cancel it will reboot again and you will be rebooting normally. Don't know if it was a soft brick or a hard brick but it worked..
Oh thanks, I didn't know There was a Volume down button to function as "not to connect" to the computer. Thanks. First I thought you were just posting about your problem. The solution came to me as a surprise.
anytime
No prob anytime.. I wonder if they will continue to build ROM for the SGS3. Because it does have 2gb of ram. Which still have more than some of the new phones. There owners who still love and cherished the SGS3.
OK so found out why it went into a boot loop. Some how I manage to delete stock recovery. While I tried to install twrp. I installed the wrong version and it did not take. So it malfunction causing it to bootloop. I reinstall twrp with the newest verison. It work.. It replaced the stock cwm and place the twrp in its place. Now I have recovery and no boot loop. Problem fix..

So if you having boot loop and can't get to your recovery mode. Download twrp. Go install. Select your device. A list of twrp version will appear. Select the first which is the newest version. Hit install. Once it download. Its ask to install. Hit yes and then it will ask to reboot.. Hit yes. Your phone will reboot into twrp recovery with a new look and touch buttons. Instead of the factory mash up or down and power button for select.

After you done this make sure you have a back up file with this new twrp as your recovery on sdcard. Hit wipe cache,data and dalvik.. Then restore file.. There you all fixed..

This is for those who don't know how to use terminal emulator. Most don't know the commands. But in terminal you can hit su, then grant permission. Hit wipe and it will tell you what choice. Such as data, system or dalvik. But you have to clarify your command. It will wipe you phone and sdcard. Then restore you phone. But it won't restore the boot loop. Cause of the file either missing, corrupt or not there. It will continued to boot loop until you reinsall you new recovery mode. Any question contact me and I will respond back as soon as possible
