Do you mean Stock Recovery still there?
If yes: uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin and flash the recovery again. When Odin finished flashing, wait 1 Minute to be sure. Now DIRECTLY boot from Download-Mode into Recovery! Don´t boot the System!
Welcome CWM

@danger2u
If KIES installed, please kill KIES and every KIES and Samsung Process running in background!
Run Odin as Administrator.
Uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin, also make sure "re-partition" UNCHECKED!
Add the recovery.tar.md5 as PDA.
Boot into Download-Mode and connect it to your PC - Odin will show "Added!"
Now Press Start.
When Odin finished flashing: wait 1 minute.
Now press Power-Button & Volume UP at the Same time! Keep them pressing!
When you see the Samsung Logo, stop pressing the Power-Button but KEEP PRESSING the Volume UP button for 5 Seconds.
It´s all about timeing. Also make sure you are using the right recovery for your device!
Btw.:
What error are you getting exactly in Stock Recovery?
Can you still boot your Rom (even if it reboots)?
Edit:
Else you can try flashing the recovery.img using Heimdall (you can extract the recovery.img from the *.tar.md5 using 7-ZIP) - but don´t ask me for instructions on Heimdall it´s different from Odin - but as i read it seems to be safer.

[ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11)

This will flash the stock kernel, modem, system, dbdata and cache. There's no need for a pit since we do not have any other OS versions to flash yet that would re-partition your device.
Instructions:
1) Make sure the drivers for the Infuse 4G are installed.
2) Please unzip the .zip file.
3) Run Odin3 v1.81.exe (as administrator if you are on Windows 7)
4) Place your phone into download mode (pull battery, press and hold both Volume keys, put battery in and plug the USB cable in)
5) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM##
5) Click the PDA button and choose the .tar.md5 file in the .zip.
6) Press Start.
7) After it completes, it will reboot your device and should boot up like normal. If it fails on flash see FAQ Question 4 below!
There is ALWAYS risk when flashing your device. Unfortunately, I will not be held responsible. Please use this as a means to get back to stock if something happens.
* DO NOT FLASH PIT (PIT not included).
* DO NOT CHECK ANYTHING IN ODIN EXCEPT "AUTO-REBOOT" AND "F. RESET TIME" (should be checked by default)
FAQ:
Question 1: Why does it have .md5 at the end?
Answer: Its in md5 format so in case your download is corrupted, you dont brick your phone.
Question 2: Can I rename it to just .tar and flash?
Answer: DO NOT rename it from md5 format. If it says the md5 sum is invalid, then it will not flash. Just re-download again and try again.
Question 3: Why does it give an error if i try to open in in 7zip/WinRAR/WinZip?
Answer: It should! Windows doesn't recognize when an md5sum is written to the end of a file. Don't panic!
Question 4: It passed the md5sum check, but failed writing on factoryfs. What do I do?!?
Answer: This is exactly what happened to me. Don't panic. Follow these steps exactly:
* Hold the power button to turn off.
* Make sure Odin is still open.
* Plug the USB cable in and hold the volume keys down at the same time. You will be on the screen with a "Phone ! PC" screen.
* Press Start on Odin.
* Once it completes, it will boot up into recovery. Don't worry about wiping cache or user data. Just choose "Reboot Device".
This flash takes quite a long period of time due to the size of the files. I'd say it took me 5 - 10 minutes for the flash to complete. Be patient! Afterwards it booted up with recovery, and chose Reboot Now.
Thanks:
* codeworkx - for the advice and assistance!
* beatblaster - First tester after a bad framework-res update.
* Realityfalse - Second tester
* dotsad - Third tester
* imnuts - Very Helpful advice and instructions for Odin installations!

well use the .tar file in this thread, put it in the pda slot in odin. put the phone in download mode and connect it to the computer. have auto reboot selected. and hit start.
if that doesnt work then try it again except put pit.pit in the pit slot and the .tar from this thread in the phone slot, select repartition, put phone in download mode, connect it to the computer and hit start.

Can you wipe all user data and wipe cache from recovery (power phone off via power button or battery pull, hold both volune keys down, then hold power down until samsung appears on the screen and let go of ONLY power)? That should get you to boot.
This happened to beatblaster when we tested. Then he did the data wipes in recovery and booted up fine.
cant get recovery at all. tried all above. pit doesnt work

Thanks for doing this, I am trying to learn how to dev on android and Ubuntu and was installing and also waiting for a way back before doing anything.

Was your phone bricked before trying this? If so, how did you brick it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
wasnt bricked. wanted to try odin restore.
how can I clear data and cache without recovery? is there a way in ODIN?

TO get into recovery to wipe data and cache, unplug your phone from the USB cable then make sure the phone is powered off. While the device is powered off press and hold the 2 volume buttons then while holding those 2 volume buttons down press and hold the power button. That will get you into recovery. WHile in there, you can wipe user data and wipe cache. Give that a go.
understood. However, as I was able to successfuly get into recovery by that method before attempting the ODIN restore, It will not enter recovery after ODIN flashed the stock.

Whoa. The only thing I can recommend from here is to try to flash via ODIN again or take the brick back to the store and swap for new. Next time, I'd recommend not fixing anything unless it's broken

try holding power and vol+ for at least 10 seconds, and keep holding it. or try power and volume down for 10+ seconds.
should attempt to get you into recovery or download mode.

thanks for the reply
i can go to the recovery mode and download mode..i already flash my tab in download mode and wipe data in recovery mode.but the problem still there
so what should i do?
see if you can get an adb log, you could also try Samsung Kies (2.0) It may have trouble finding device/ installing drivers; you might want to connect it in download mode. There are emergency recovery options in Kies I think, but its probably same thing as Odin. Are you sure that is the correct firmware for your device? are you familiar with Odin? possible bad flash/disconnected?/bad cable?
i recommend try flashing whatever firmware you originally had. a full stock one with .pit file would be ideal.
try sammobile.com/firmwares

Try this instructions carefully. It works for any samsung phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27043121&postcount=9
but in step 3, when it says if you weren't in GB, don't worry about it. What it is, if you change version of android (i.e. from Honeycomb to ICS and vice versa), than you need to include pitfile and repartition, as well as flashing dbdata.rfs.
Thanks buddy
I will try as u suggested
and will come back soon after flashing
thanks
still same problem please help
i tried flashing as u suggested and successfully compleated but still restarting only 1 thing improved that is now am able to switch off my tab
please guys help me dnt wanna loose my tab
and 1 more thing in odeen, where i can put dbdata file
please help
You can flash dbdata on pda field as well. Make sure you use the correct file. Before you proceed with it, can you go to recovery mode and do factory wipe? Let me know if you got any mounting error message or not after wipe.
Nore: if you need a pitfile, you can download this:

Any solution yet? My device suddenly acting the same way when I doing Factory Reset in cmw recovery. I've try doing reflashing via odin to xxkl7 and dxkl3 with no lock, im still stuck bootlooping on first splash screen.
Something I found is that if Im flashing the rom using heimdall, it always failed on flashing the cache, with a message saying that heimdall being crash. Any advice?
continue holding vol up and power through 2 reboots, you should get recovery mode.
My device also experiences similar symptoms when formating /data. Perhaps the file system is corrupt or mild superbrickbug.
Anyways what I usually do Is Odin back to stock, when it passes it hangs at boot, reboot to recovery and factory reset/ wipe data. Should boot now.
For /cache issue. try the first step I mentioned to get into recovery and wipe /cache, actually format it too, if you have CWM Recovery. Wipe dalvik and factory reset too. Then I would try Odin to stock. And again wipe /data if stock Odin doesnt boot.
good luck.

Odin Force Reboot .tar File (for those who are lazy)

If you're like me, you don't like having to pull your battery out to reboot your phone. When having problems with Odin I hate having to pull my battery out to simply reboot it when commands like "adb reboot" have spoiled me.
Here is a blank .tar file (just made in notepad) for Odin. Put it in the PDA slot and make sure Auto Reboot is checked. Click Start and Odin will reboot your Samsung device into Android. No wiping or writing.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?xbruaqwuryjnaua
came in handy - for a zero byte file. lol
lazy ppl ftw!
great!! thanks a lot!! how can i create a file like this that reboots the device in recovery mode? can you do that?
To flash it in recovery you will first have to boot in recovery... So this means nothing lol... Use quickboot app...

Sorry for the really late response. I too am trying to figure out how to make Odin tell the phone to boot straight into recovery. One method I found does work. Find the CF-Autoroot package for your phone (if it exists), pull the cache.img out, put that cache.img into an odin package (find a tutorial on how to do that elsewhere), then flash and it will boot straight into recovery.
For example. I made a a custom odin package for my Galaxy Note 2 using a TWRP.img and the cache.img from the CF-Autoroot package. Flashed it in Odin and it installed TWRP and booted straight into recovery! This way the recovery-from-boot.p file can be deleted in recovery before it reinstalls the stock recovery.
can you help me, booting with odin on sgs1 to get into recovery mode. very importent

I don't think I can help you out. CF-Root files don't contain the trick to boot straight into recovery. At least this is what I think, I don't have a phone that can use CF-Root to test it on. Picking apart CF-AutoRoot is what helped me. The Galaxy S 1 does not have CF-AutoRoot since that phone is set up differently than newer Samsung devices.
Great idea mate, power button broken in my sgs i9000 and if it turns off i can only access download mode.. So via Odin and your file i managed to power it on fast and simple.. Thx again..
My phone is stuck in recovery mode because the home button is broken, but when I connect my phone to pc, Odin can detect my phone. Can I use Odin to reboot my phone when it's in recovery model instead of download mode? Thank you.
^^ same question?
Can Odin just reboot?

If I understand correctly this is a blank (0 byte) file which does nothing but after flashing is completed because autoreboot is checked the phone will reboot automatically. Genius indeed!

Worked like a charm... just to add ... in newer ODIN instead of PDA you'd see AP. Also in Options remember to uncheck "F. Reset Time" and keep "Auto Reboot" on as mentioned above.
P.S: I didn't check what happens if F. Reset Time is on. Just posted what worked for me.
Note:
This is a exactly a tool for those whose "power button not working" to get out of any of ODIN or recovery modes when required. Usually it is decrease volume button + power/side key button for more than 7 secs to reboot and come out of odin mode.
Thanks XDA.

[Q] Please Help Me: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

I have Samsung galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010 UK model. so after 6 months i rooted it through odin and used to install some rooted apps. from playstore i installed an app and after that the tablet suddenly restarted and stucked on the logo "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" after that i restarted it in odin mode but nothing happens. some time recovery mode for wiping data but nothing happened. NOte: clockworkmod recovery mode doesnt opens just simple recovery mode. and now that also recovery mode also not opening just odin mode. So please guyz tell me have i bricked my device or its hardware isssue or software or it can be repaired please please help me.
od:n node is a good sign. just-find a stock image and flash with odin.
Thanks: BUt
thanks alot. please tell me that is unrooting method?
No, thats not the unrooting method.
Best idea is to flash a stock rom, re-root, then run triangle away to reset flash counter and status's. Then use Mobile ODIN pro to flash a stock rom, make sure if you want to go stock that you untick the everroot options and re-install mobile ODIN options, then also tick wipe cache\data and wipe dalvik cache. This will wipe EVERYTHING off your internal memory so make sure you have backed up everything that you want to keep.
You now have a factory reset stock phone. No flash count, ALL status's back to "Official".
done
i have done the first method flashed 4.1.2 through odin and thanks alot it worked. now i want to install AOKP i like it so for this is should reroot my phone and flash it through odin and cwm not working on my tablet. thanks to all of you

If you're using PC odin you need to go to download mode 1st - from power off hold down lower volume and power button until the "warning" comes on the screen. press up volume and you get to download mode.
Connect the tab to the PC with USB and run ODIN. It will light up one of the com ports with "Com 0" Or something displayed. Make sure you DON'tT have Kies active or it won't work. It must be exited from or uninstalled. Also don't have another samsung phone/tab attached or it will pick this up too...
Shouldn't do anything but if it does detect, it is a shock when "FAIL" shows up, especially if you're not sure already... You might do something stupid like disconnect the tab in the middle of a flash...

[Q] GT-P5100 softbircked or hardbricked

I had CM10.1-3 stable installed, and everything was perfect, then I turned on the native encryption, the tablet started to acted slow but working, one day I woke up and find the tablet will not turn on so here is what I have done
Restarted the tablet, entered the decryption password and still hanged
Restarted the tablet again and then it boot loops on Samsung galax tab 2 10.1 screen
Restarted again and it will not boot at all
No recovery
I can access download mode
So I did try to reflash CWM 6.0.2 again with heimdall and it failed
All I got was "Firmware error occurred while updating please use kies the phone ! computer screen"
No other mode is working
Got Stock rom 4.2.2 tired with odin finishes but still reboot is black screen
Got esspreso_16G PIT file repartitioned and reinstalled the stock rom still no booting
Using heimdall repartitioned with resspreso PIT file from 201202 and I got DOWNLOAD MODE AGAIN !
Try to install orignal rom or CWM brick again
Using heimdall repartitioned and installed stock kernel only and x-loder
So currently it is charging and have DOWNLOAD MODE stating count of customes and kernel of SMASUNG_OFFICAL
My question is, is this software brick or hardware ? and how I can get the tablet up and running again using ODIN or Heimdall ?
Thank You
d
I am not sure, but what i would try:
Try Odin, flash Stockrom - uncheck "Auto-Reboot" !
When Odin finished directly boot into recovery from downloadmode.

I am not sure, but what i would try:
Try Odin, flash Stockrom - uncheck "Auto-Reboot" !
When Odin finished directly boot into recovery from downloadmode.
Make a factory reset if recovery booted.

Did try that, Odin 3.07 or something keeps flushing everything but the download mode on the tablet froze on 25% of the blue bar. then I get again error will firmware update, so I add again to heimdall and repartitioned and tried to flash the rom part by part starting with MLO as X-Loader and it told me successful with no reboot, tried to flash factorysysfs also stuck at 28% with heimdall, had to do reboot of the device, now the device is just blank black, no download mode, or the emergency firmware update via kies screen "phone ! computer" no idea what should I do :s it seems dead.
Why are you flashing pit-files all the time????? these files can difenitly dangerous and can kill your tab with a breeze if not used with care ....
you can´t do nothing with odin or heimdall if you don´t have downloadmode or "Black screen of death" ("Firmware error occurred while updating (...)")...
good luck

It was the only way to get back to DownloadMode is by flashing PIT file, however I managed to flash orginal Kenerl back at that time and I did manage to flash X-Loder seems that what bricked the tablet, Now when I am connected to the PC I can see OMAP4430 driver, Some saying I need to use JTAG "RIFF BOX" or maybe OMAPFlasher but I am not sure if this the correct step or not, what really bothers me that when I had DownloadMode odin will not finish more than 28% of the rom. what do you think should I use OMAPFlasher ? and if there any guide to do so ? I just need the tablet to have bootloader and Kernel so I can flash back with Odin.
