I was trying to update TWRP so I can install a 4.4 ROM and I installed Flashify (I read this was the easiest way) then flashed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and when I rebooted it went right to a black screen. When it boots I see the Samsung screen for just a sec and tiny blue words in the left corner that says something like 'recovery booting'. I've tried a hard boot (volume ^ + home then power on, right?) Well the phone buzzes, SAMSUNG flashes for a millisecond then blaxk, Maybe I'm not doing the hard boot correctly? But it's hard to tell. I'm trying to get back to TWRP to restore a backup image!
Please help and thank you.

Try to hold volume up + home + power until you see the blue text. Let go of the power button but keep holding volume up + home until it Boots into recovery.

I'm doing that, or trying to but I'm still getting nothing. Problem is, I cant tell when the phone is on or off, I've done it by pulling the battery and by long pressing the power. I'm holding vol ^ + home + power, as soon as the blue text shows, I release only power and nothing, black screen. UUUUGH
I'm trying it over and over but still not getting anywhere.

Hmm, you only have access to Odin mode right?
Download the latest recovery and try to flash it with Odin:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2vzw
I have a feeling this isn't going to work, but it might let you boot into recovery. And do you have your backups on the internal or external SD card?
Edit: I forgot to mention to make sure to use the.Tar.Md5 file, not the .img file.

Download the .tar and extract the tar.md5 file.
Put the tar.md5 file into the pda slot, make sure your phone is connected, and it'll reboot by itself.
If it doesn't reboot properly, try to pull the battery and force it into recovery again like before.

So weird... the phone seemed to be stuck in the Downloading screen so I rebooted it and it went right to my last backup image so I was gonna reboot to recovery so I can wipe any junk away and restore my most recent image and it went back to the black screen. OK I downloaded ODIN again and its coming back to me. I'll report back in just a few.

If you can get into a rom, it's better just to use that to update a recovery, just don't use flashify this time.
We'll see how this goes.

Ok I think that fixed it. I am on TWRP 2.6.3.1 restoring a backup I made earlier as we speak. THANK YOU!
Btw, what caused all of this was I flashed the Dirty Unicorn 4.3 and lost my mobile data. I went on to mobile providers and its a crap shoot when picking one that works consistently...
CDMA/EvDo auto
LTE/CDMA/EvDo
LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA
each on of those have worked before but none work every time and sometimes I will have tried to use them all several times before one finally kicks on. But if I reboot or even shut off data then back on it farks everything up again.
So I was trying to go to a 4.4... is there anything else I need to do to flash a 4.4 rom? I was thinking of trying the Cyanfox. Liquid Smooth became buggy so I went to Dirty Unicorn. But I gotta have mobile data

I really have no idea what caused it. I've never flashed anything other than 4.1 TouchWiz roms, but I know it's an intermittent issue with aosp roms.
You probably had a bad twrp image when you flashed it, or did something incorrect in flashify. I'm glad you got it working again though.

I'm kind of a noob with this but my Verizon GS3 is doing a boot loop and I have no idea how to fix it! Please help!
First off, are you able to throw ADB commands to the phone? (a lot of the time when I get stuck in a boot loop I can still throw ADB commands at it), if so, throw adb reboot recovery to reboot into the recovery.
If you can't, remove the battery to turn it off, pop the battery back in, then hold Volume Up, Home, and Power to boot into the recovery.
Once in the recovery do a full wipe.
If you are flashing a ROM it's always suggested to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.
If wiping doesn't work then restore for a previous backup (I hope you did a backup before you did whatever you did since you weren't being detailed in what you were doing at the time).

Thanks for responding! All I was doing was backing it up through ROM Manager and after the backup it went into the boot loop. When I hold the power, home, and volume down button it goes into download mode so I can't even get into the recovery. Have you heard of this before?
Try doing Volume Down, Home, and Power instead (one does download and one recovery, I can't remember which since I do everything through adb and very rarely have to do it manually).

Well the good news is I can get into recovery. The bad news is every time I try and restore it goes back into the same boot loop for a few cycles then goes back into Clockworkmod recovery. I feel like I'm getting close here...

When I do reboot system now it says "error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher."
Why not just flash a new rom to get rid of the boot loop? Or Odin back to stock n root all over again?

try re-install the rom
I just faced the same problem on my SGS2. Hold Volume Up + Home button + Power button to recovery mode (I guess SGS3 is the same as SGS2), then re-install the rom. If it is still not working, you may have to try another rom. To incase this problem happening, I always put two old rom and a new rom in my internal sd card, it's a lot safer, but they will use about 1GB in your phone.
Download a new ROM then flash it. Should fix your problem

I have the same problem only I can't go anywhere from the boot screen (android logo). No combination of buttons or battery removal chnges it. My PC won't see the usb connection. I could pull the sd card and write to it if that would do anything.

The damned phone is bricked how are you going to flash another rom or wipe data? I don't think its totally bricked but it will only show the dwonload screen, buttons and usb ports do not work at all so far.
New data: after leaving the battery out for ahwil I was able to get back to the odin entry screen. I pushed the volume up and went back to where I was... this is progress. Now sure where to go from here.
Fumbling worked! Hitting the down volume worked. I am back in the previous rom. I still would like to flask 4.2.2! Please advise and comment. Thanks!

On the galaxy s3 it's down volume, power and home, then down volume to get out of the odin emulator screen. BTW captcha for a site like this reminds of the sysops of 5 line bbs' out of their mother's basements that had elaborate member approval vetting. Self importance to the disease level.
I just got a new Verizon S3 about a week ago and a few days ago I followed the instructions in the Original development section to install the CM10 nighties. Everything was working great but just a little bit ago I tried to upgrade to the newest build through the clockworkmod rom manager that was installed with cm10 but now when I restart the phone just constantly boot loops. It shows the samsung screen followed by samsung screen (but with booting recovery at the top) and finally the android dude for a few secs then just repeats! How do I fix my phone! Or did I F**K myself good?

Can you get into recovery (volume up + home + power) to try flashing a previous rom download or restore a backup? If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to Odin your way back to stock or stock.root66 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709)

Ok I was able to get into recovery. I tried restoring a backup but that did not help I am now going to try and re install the downloaded rom. I might just odin back to stock I don't know if my nerves can handle the stress of this mod thing.
I tried installing from downloaded rom and that did not work ether. I down loaded the odin and the Samsung drivers but the drivers don't seem to be installing right. The phone shows up under devices and printers but has an ! on it. I tried telling it to update the driver by had but I got this error:
Code:
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it
SAMSUNG Mobile MTP DEVICE
This device cannot start (Code 10)
I have the device booted in to recovery ClockworkMod Recovery because thats the only place I can get it with out it continually restarting. (I thought that the Recovery I had was called K-exec or somthing? It looks the same I think though so I am not sure. Is that what broke my system did I break somthing my flashing ClockWorkMod recovery over K-exec? Can I fix that from clockWorkMod Recovery. HELP

actually download mode is hold volume down +home (button on the front in center) + power till the screen shows download mode

Upgrade your recovery from cwm touch to cwm 6.whatever.it.is. Cwm touch is buggy. I don't know how exactly you do that if it's not booting to the rom but maybe this can help point you down the right path.

Downside of all the one click this and one click that. You should be required to root at least once using odin and adb before having access to the one click tools as you may end up needing those down the road.

If you really don't wanna take the risk you can just delete it all with Titanium Backup. But hey, if you really want to, go right ahead. Just do a little more research before you jump in. We've all been there, though, so don't feel stupid.

Hello All,
I'm kinda stuck here and I think I have read and tried everything. Wondering if this thing is bricked. Signs tell me know, but don't know what else to do. Anyway here is some info. My note n8013 has a Redemption rom which I have had for a couple of months with no problems. Sorry don't remember the version. Either way I come home one day and its stuck on the boot animation screen. So i reboot it and it has the normal samsung boot screen, then it gets to the rom animation screen and gets stuck again. I cannot get pass this screen at all. Next I try to boot into TWRP so that I can restore to a previous backup. As I hold the power and volume up and reboot I then let go on power and keep holding volume up, then I get to see the TWRP logo, it disappears and reboots. So I am unable to get into TWRP. So then I go into download mode which seems to get there fine, but no matter what I try to flash with odin it fails. I have the same version odin v1.85 and drivers I had when I first started messing with this. I then try all the new versions still no go. I have tried to get the latest TWRP and CWM with odin. Nothing. I have also tried a compatible rom and nothing. Many thanks in advance.

I think it makes sense for me to brick this some how and maybe get a warranty swap. I've only had this since Oct 2012. I cannot give it to them like this when they see the animation of a custom rom. I've never had an issue with any device till this. Driving me crazy :silly:
Try flash a different recovery is about all left.
Possible likewise flash just a kernel.

Man I tried everything I can think of. It may just be a hardware issue. I called for samsung support and they sent me a shipping label. Hope I can get the warranty with this custom rom animation. they will also see the twrp logo when trying to go to recovery. Makes me nervous about sending it in.
Have you tried installing a new copy of TWRP or CWM in Oden?
I have seen were people have issues starting after TWRP or CWM recovery, they say to make sure that you have un-check "disable Auto Reboot" in Oden.
there is a tutorial here that explains it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102677
So my power button has been broken for a couple months now and I've been using the same custom rom since. (BTW it's not the outside button, but the actual switch that's broken)
Is there any way to install a custom rom using ODIN? Or is odin only capable of installing stock roms because of the file type?
My phone wont allow me to get into the custom recovery, but I can get into Download mode.
Please help!

Idk about using Odin for custom tars, but I imagine it would take someone more effort than its worth to compile one just for this purpose. When you try booting into download mode, how are you doing this? And how are you booting into recovery? What happens once it gets there?
You could also just get the power button fixed. Then all your problems are solved.
Mobile tech videos will do it.

Doesn't ROM manager or something do reboots into recovery?
This post was made by Vanlandi.
adb reboot recovery
Actually if you didn't want to bother with setting up adb I'd imagine you could just type 'su' press enter, type'reboot recovery' and press enter into of the many terminal emulators in the play store.

Oh, well yea terminal is great as well. You can do the same for download mode as well or even try using it to attempt to delete pesky files that just won't delete with a file manager.

Ya! I forgot about terminal. You can do everything from there if you know the commands.
Kinda off topic here, but is there a thread with the common commands for terminal? Like to reboot, delete files, move files, and such.

Not sure how you get into download but not recovery since the procedure is same except use volume up instead of volume down. Also the Quickboot app/widget is much easier than terminal emulator if just need to get to reboot/recovery or download modes. Enables the extended power menu same as the power button.
Mobile tech videos Did a great job repairing my broken power switch. Pretty quick turn around.

I have a similar problem, but when I use the terminal commands or any app to reboot into recovery, the phone vibrates and turns off but then stays off until I pull the battery and replace it. Also, when I try to go into download mode, it comes up for about 5 seconds then turns off (similar to SDS). Any thoughts? I originally planned to try to switch roms and see if that would fix the power button issue, but if it's hardware, I'll try to unroot and take it too Verizon as a last ditch attempt.
Also, when I take the back case off and put it back on, the power on/off screen pops up.
Thanks!
I have the same exact problem as the guy above buy my power button is just completely borked.
I thought I could get into download mode but that doesn't work either.
I'm going to try and resolder the replacement power button I purchased that didn't work.

Mobile Odin did not work either. Gets stuck at logo screen when it first boots then stays black.

I think the rom your trying to flash is bad …
Phone starting but getting stuck at boot screen means it's soft bricked, try flashing a different rom …
And once you manage to get your phone running use ''recovery tools'' from play store to flash a custom recovery, it flashes a touch recovery so that will eliminate your button problems …
No my phone operates fine. When I attempt to get into recovery, it restarts, a brief screen appears where it says "rebooting recovery" on the top left, and then it stays black. TO get out of this I go into Download Mode, and press Cancel to Restart.
I'm currently using CyanogenMOD 10.1.2.
At this point I'm thinking of just going to a mobile phone repair store...

Basically, i was in the process of rooting the device. I have 4.0.4. So, I am able to run Odin, with it showing "success" on the screen. I unchecked auto reboot. So, I unplugged the USB, and when I try to reboot into recovery, I get nothing, just a black screen. The samsung logo screen will come on and then go away. I hold volume down and power button, and then let go of power button. Prior to running Odin, I was able to see the stock recovery screen. But now, I can't get to any recovery screen. But the phone will boot up no problem, and I can get to the download screen no problem as well. I am not sure what to do next. Can anyone help me or does anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thank you.

brother try flashing cwm again
also there are many other recoveries you can try them if available
also there are many backup apps [although i cant remember} which have feature of booting into recovery so find and try them
good luck:good::good:
I tried flashing through Odin about 5 times. It says 5. For custom binary downloads... but when I reboot, I just cant get it into recovery. After flashing through odin, and odin says complete, I unplug tablet and try to reboot into recovery, and I get nothing. It almost seems like its going to work but it doesnt. Also, I cant even update the system upgrade.... im guessing since I cant get to recovery screen, neither can the devixe when it tried to update. I'm lost at what to tey next....
Are you positive you flashed a recovery that is designed for your Tab?
Oh nice idea... I used the files in the how to post in the dev section. But I couldnt. Find the 4.93 tar file so I downloaded it somewhere else. It may have been bad I guess? Like I said, everything worked until I had to reboot to recovery. Does anybody have the. Philz touch4.93 tar file? Thank youguys for your help. I appreciate it so much. None of my friends are into this stuff, so you guys are all I got. Lol.
I tried starting over from the beginning of the steps but nothing works. I just get the same result. Does anybody have any ideas of what I am doing wrong or any suggestions? Thank you for your help in advance.

Witch tutorial and sources did you use ?

I used the tutorial here in this forum, but the sources of the files I downloaded from were wherever I could find them as and of the links in this thread no longer contained the files. Do you have a different tutorial to follow? Thank you for your response and help.

So you got two problems.
One is the los of your recovery en two is the root.
I alway's use the cwm recovery.
and for root is use CF-Auto-Root-espresso
Btw what tab are you on, P5100 P5110 or ??????
That could make a diverance.

For the root

Did you check the MD5 hash for your CWM zip? If it is incomplete it doesn't stand much of a chance at working. On Windows I use winmd5free, and on the tablet I use MD5 Hash (Free, No Ads) from the Google Playstore to verify the MD5 of anything I download before flashing it.
Personally I've used the unofficial TeamWin Recovery 2.6.3.0 zip (TWRP) on my P5113 to install CM 10.2 from the Nightly builds.
Also, verify your device is really rooted. I used RootValidator, again from the Google Playstore, to check after rooting my Tab the first time.
Okay I will try checking md5. Thank you so much. Also, I have sgh i497.... how do I know 5110 vs 5100?

Goto Settings, About tablet (scroll down to the bottom of the settings to find it).
Check out focussoft's directions on how he rooted his sgh-i497. Note he refers to an older version of TWRP Recovery in his instructions.
I used this to root my P5113.
It is easy to confuse the volume rocker switch directions. Remember that the side next to the power button is Volume Down!
P5100 is the one with a simcard ( 3g/phone )
P5110 is the wifi only tablet
P5113 is wifi and Infrared
Okay, I have 3g and wifi on here so I have 5100.

Make sure you have root.
Look up mobile Odin. The lite version is free but make sure you grab the correct kernel flash file for your tablet.
Download the latest cwm/philz/twrp of your choice for your device and use mobile Odin app to flash recovery.
I've occasionally had issues getting into recovery on my 3113 and found that powering off, plugging it in until the battery icon shows then holding power and volume up and quickly unplugging the cable seems to help. Continue holding volume up for about 5 seconds after the black screen shows and it goes into recovery 99% of the time.
I should note that I only have that issue if I flash incompatible rom and kernel combos or wipe my system and accidentally turn the tab off in recovery mode.

I should have been clearer. The file I specified is for Mobile Odin.

Here's the thread. I'll edit this post in a second with the right recovery.
If you flashed a bad kernel you wouldn't be able to boot past the Samsung screen at all, except to get into download mode. If you can boot to the rom, it's not the wrong kernel. Likely just the wrong recovery or a corrupted recovery download.
Brb, hold tight.
Oh boy... we have a big problem...
I just rececked your model number from your signature....
YOU DO NOT HAVE A 51XX TABLET. DO NOT FLASH 51XX FILES.
What you have is the AT&T 4g model.
Flashing files for any other model can potentially permanent brick your device as all the hardware is completely different.
Let me get back to you again and see if I can find a real recovery option for you.
Ok, here is a good recovery for you. Try this and get back to me.
