I have a samsung galaxy s3 (canada) which i installed twrp for d2att (at&t) and thats how i flashed the custom ROM without any problems as seen on another thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2624413
But now when i try to get back onto custom recovery, it shows the blue text at the top left corner of the screen, flashes the samsung logo, but then the screen goes blank. it is only after i release the power + home + volume up that it goes back and just boots normally. I thought that it might of got uninstalled while flashing the custom ROM, so since i forgot to get gapps (to use playstore and find useful apps) i used odin v3.0.9 to flash the custom recovery. But i did everything but it still does not want to enter custom recovery.
Can anyone help me please?

I installed CM10 unofficial and had signal issues and lost LTE so I wanted to go back to stock rooted. Flashed root66 via Odin and now my phone gets stuck at the 4g LTE bootscreen. I have tried everything to flash a recovery, but so far nothing has worked. I am able to access downloader mode and it says my phone is samsung official but custom and 1 flash count. What should I do now?
Turn off the phone completely
Hold the down volume, home button, and power button (this will give you yellow triangle) then press volume up to access download mode
Flash the official, none-rooted stock rom (found over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755386)
let me know if that worked for you.
On the S2 (AT&T) you had to do a factory reset from the E3 recovery console after doing a reset like you're doing or else it would boot loop. See if you can get into the recovery console and do a factory reset and see if that fixes it.
I successfully booted by Galaxy S III LTE i9305 today, and was using it without a problem.
When I turned it off an hour ago then turned it back on, I'm getting the splash screen announcing the model of the phone, but there's a tiny red exclamation mark in the very top left, and the thing just does not boot.
Please help me??

Sounds like you don't have a custom recovery installed. Through ROM Manager, flash Clockwork Recovery and you should be good to go.
Are you able to go to recovery?
Ok so galaxy checks if all the sectors are working boot sector recovery sector etc all you have to do is most likely flash a new recovery.
if you can't do that now to access your phone boot into download mode by pressing volume down+home+power(or volume up up lol one goes to recovery and one goes to download mode)
then that's where you can flash a new recovery, Rom, etc through Odin
but to get to your OS just choose to restart the phone when it asks you and it will take you straight to the Android booting screen
if that didn't work you just need to reflash your entire Rom
To reflash your recovery all you have to do is download clockwork recovery for your phone and flash it, it will then boot normally again I had the same problem but I accidentally removed my recovery partition reflashed a new cwm on.mine and it booted like a charm

So I was trying to get HyperDrive running on my phone and had flashed it a few times. I was using TWRP to flash and accidently picked Format for the wipe. Then I flashed Liquid Rom. Realizing it was more of an AOSP rom I tried flashing Hyperdrive again. Again being stupid hit the Format wipe. Then when I tried flashing the rom it flashed but when it rebooting the splash/loadscreen for the rom just continuously played. Also I can no longer access TWRP. I tried using ODIN to put a stock rom on again, but I meet the same problem of the continuously loading screen.
Help Please? I'm slowly losing it...
Take the battery out then replace it then hit the power button and home button and volume up and try to get to recovery

did it and it goes to the samsung with the unlocked lock and says on the top "booting recovery" then goes black vibrates and then reboots
Okay I finally got it working. Not sure what caused it but it seems flashing a ODIN package that supported recovery worked its magic. From there I was able to access the stock recovery and then Flashed an ODIN package containing a stock rooted rom.
I've tried to search for a similar issue but none of the threads I found were able to really help me.
So I recently flashed Dirty Unicorns 3.6 to my d2vzw and decided the ROM wasn't for me and wanted to restore my backup.
Unfortunately I cannot access either my recovery or download mode to try and restore or just flash a new ROM. I've tried booting into recovery with the button combo, from a terminal, ROM toolbox, goo manager. nothing works. the Samsung screen comes up and then goes black and nothing happens and I have to do a battery pull. When I try and get into download mode I get to the vol up/down to accept I press up to move forward into download mode, the android logo loads up and it says "Downloading do not turn off target" at the bottom, and then the screen goes black and i have to do a battery pull again.
The strange thing is if i want to boot back into my Rom I have to attempt to boot into download mode first then do a battery pull and let it reboot and then it will boot into the ROM.
If anyone can help me figure this out I would really appreciate it.
Thank you

Once your phone is booted up open Goo Manager, press Menu, then "install open recovery script, then yes. This will install the latest recovery (TWRP) and may fix your issue. It's worth a shot.
On my LG G2 VS980 I lost my TWRP recovery by trying to flash CWM Touch. Now when it boots into recovery I see a black screen with some tiny writing that instantly disappears back into a black screen and stays there until I hold power down for about 15 seconds. Originally I had stock 26A (KitKat), rooted with Stumproot and used Autorec to put TWRP on and that worked fine. Then I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1, that worked fine. Today I decided since I had CyanogenMod, I would try out their Touch recovery instead of the older TWRP. I downloaded Flashify and the latest CWM Touch recovery and downloaded Flashify and flashed the recovery with no error messages. I gave it root permission (the built-in CM root permission) and then booted into the mess I have now. I have tried to flash TWRP, but it does the same exact thing- same for trying CWM regular (non-Touch) recovery flash. None of the button combinations except power + up buttons do anything except boot into the regular phone or they boot into the broken recovery that shows the white writing that turns to the black screen of death. I tried going into settings and turning the developer settings on that says Update Recovery When Updating ROM, but that doesn't change anything. I also tried using ROM Manager, but it never worked flashing, even before. (It still does the same thing, it acts like it flashes, says its successful, then the recovery is the same. Useless.)
One thing that is odd is that I tried to use Autorec again. I downloaded the latest version from Play Store and when I tried to flash recovery with it it told me my phone was not supported- that it only works on VS980 model!?! That IS my model. So that's the gist of it. I really would appreciate any help at all. I love my phone.
