I wanted to change to Cyanogenmod 10.2, so i opend CWM and formated, wiped cache and dalvik cache. Then I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 and gapps, but the phone came to the samsung logo and kept rebooting, I couldn't open the recovery. So I opened download mode and I installed the stock rom for my country (Croatia), but the phone was again just rebboting, so I installed CWM but I couldn't open it. I tryied to do the same thing with a different version of the stock rom, but it ended up the same, so I even tryied with a Serbian version but it was still just rebooting. Please help me, I can't figure out how to fix my phone.
Hi,
You have to wipe /data partition from CWM when switching to a new rom. This prevents you from having bootloops.

1. Powered off the phone.
2. Press & hold Volume up + Volume down + Home then power on the phone.
3. Wait a few seconds until recovery mode appears
4. Release all buttons.

I do all of that, hold volume up + volume down + home and power, but nothing happens.
Can I open recovery mode in any different way?

Few days back I flashed my phone with stock Rom GB using Odin. I only uploaded PDA file ,as I red procedure given on some website. After that it says following and not going to download mod.
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Enter: OK Key, Select: Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
# Manual Mode#
The only buttons that do anything are the volume/arrow keys. If I press the power button, the Samsung logo shows up, but then it comes back to this screen. Same thing if I take the battery out.
Any ideas what button(s) will let me select one of the options?some one to put me right .thanks
Sounds like you need to put it back into download mode and reflash stock if you are in a recovery loop.
To enter download mode: pull the battery. replace battery. Hold down volume up and volume down simultaneously and connect via USB to your computer.

I've had this happen before. Just use volume up/down to select "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button. After that, select "reboot system now" and push the power button again. Your phone should be fine. If it doesn't work, you can always try using the Heimdall One-Click in the dev forum to go to stock Gingerbread.

You can wipe data/ factory reset after installing the stock firmware. Boot into Recovery Mode by holding down Power and Volume Up buttons together until the screen turns on. When the Samsung logo appears, let go of the Power button but keep holding down the Volume Up button until the device boots into recovery. In Recovery Mode, select Wipe data/Factory reset and select Yes on next screen. Select Reboot system now to reboot the tablet
So i flashed the device and it said passed. It rebooted but it's stuck on the samsung logo after it does the sound. I'm able to get into download mode any ideas?

I'm using N7100. I have rooted my device using Odin. But still i'm not able to upgrade my phone to 4.2.2. as after pressing volume up+ home button and power button. The new screen showing all the links like wipe and factory reset, wipe cash, but it does not have the "advance" option in it. And if i tries to go to run zip file without it. It shows an error regarding some "signature".
Please help

For download mode on your tab, you need to hold Power and Volume UP (not Down). Otherwise, you get into the recovery mode...

Yes. And you have to press Power or VolDown (I think?) to confirm -- it tells you right there. When you are finally in the download mode, you will see a message like "Downloading. Do not disconnect target..." That's when Odin should recognize your tablet and be able to start flashing.
You press Volume Down and Power. Until it appears the lobo you only keep pressing Volume down and dont power button.
Im trying to flash a custom rom in my xperia j.
as im a full NEWBIE, i took help of forums on xda.
0. I have flashtool and Android SDK.
1. I downloaded ROM ( X fusion)
2. I downloaded cm10 and gapps.
3. My mobile is already rooted and i unlocked its bootloader.
4. I installed CWM from both mobile and pc.
5. My problem : When i power off and press power + volume up, it wont go in recovery and boots normally.
My phone is stock jellybean.
Well im a real beginner in these things so i wanted to do it to learn it but i need help.
If you need other details, ask me but i really need help.
Try when you see Sony logo rapidly press volume down. How I do it:
Press power button until it vibrates (release power buton)
Rapidly press volume down till it go in CWM.
Good Luck!

No worries @AdarshJKC98 It's all about Trial & Error, Here's how i install & Use CWM
Ensure Unknown Sources is enabled & Ensure Debugging is also Enabled, You must be rooted, Once you've made sure all of that go ahead and turn your device off, or just take your battery out, Place the USB Sync cable into your PC and go ahead and Boot up Flashtool,Once done so place the Micro USB end into your device and Hold Volume +, If done so correctly a Blue LED will light up, Click the thunderbolt icon on flashtool and select 'Fastboot Mode' And then click on 'Select Kernal To Flash' once done so find the Boot.img i have given you (Link provided below) Once the kernal has been flashed unplug the micro usb cable and go ahead and power on your device
How do i open up CWM on my device
It's simple once you have powered on your device a Purple LED on the Illumination bar Should illuminate keep pressing Volume + or Volume - Either should do the trick, the LED Should then light up Blue, Once done go ahead and use the steps provided to flash your ROM

Hope this helped ;3
Thnx so much dude, it works
Another small problem !
I entered recovery mode, i wiped cache and tried to install cm10, but it said installation aborted.
So i installed X Fusion directly and rebooted my phone.
But now it lights up, give the purple light which turns off after some time and remains like this.
what to do ?
