[Q] Unable to enter recovery, Odin won't install custom recovery - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have a Galaxy Mini 2 (GT-5600d) more specific, and I installed a custom OS which the phone couldn't support well, so I wanted to turn back to my stock ROM. I found the ROM and installed it using ODIN 3.09 and the only problem I have is that I have to do a data wipe from the recovery menu. Problem is, the recovery menu is jammed for some time now. I didn't need it much before and never taught it could screw up. Seems that now I am stuck with the phone in a continuous boot loop. Any suggestions?

[Solved] Unable to boot into ROM and CWM recovery

I had to restart my phone for some reason and on restarting, the phone got stuck in a boot-loop ( Samsung galaxy S3 i9300 ) text logo. I thought I'd reboot into CWM (Philz touch) and wipe to make things better. But the phone won't boot into CWM either, it showed the soft navigation keys and rebooted again, and kept running in a bootloop of trying to get into the recovery and restarting again.
So I tried to ODIN the recovery just to refresh if something is broken. It didnt work. Odin was success but the boot into recovery wasn't. I tried several times but no luck.
Then I flashed TWRP using ODIN, and voilah! i could boot into TWRP . I flashed CWM using TWRP and voilah again, i could reboot into CWM again . After thatI had to flash the ROM again though.
I do not know why it happened, but I thought I'd share the details just in case someone tries to google it.

You have to remember what exactly you have done before rebooting. Some times it happened with me mainly changing boot screen, battery screen etc.

[Q] I9300 stuck at samsung logo, even after installing stock rom

Hello everyone,
I had CM11 installed on my Samsung galaxy S3 I9300. But I wanted to trade my phone with my dads and he wanted the simple stock rom (Android 4.3). I tried flashing the stock rom on it which went good until the last step when it should reboot itself. But i'm stuck at the samsung logo, I tried everything (pulling out battery, rebooting it, install stock rom again,...).
And I even can't get in recovery mode. The only possible mode in can get in is download mode. What can the problem be? Have I done something wrong? Should I try to install another stock rom from another country? Is there another way to get in recovery mode? I am from Belgium and I can't find the "Belgian stock rom", so I tried installing it from the Netherlands, is that the problem?
Thanks already.
What is the filename of the stock ROM you flashed and which options did you select in Odin?

First thing you should always do after flashing stock rom or any rom that causes a boot loop is to boot into recovery and factory reset then wipe cache this solves 90% of bootloops. Now I know you said you can't get into recovery so try flashing a custom recovery with odin then try booting into that and then factory reset.

[Q] Custom Recovery problem (Rom manager-cwm)

im on stock root and i wanted to hopefully flash a rom, but first i needed a custom recovery. On my phone, i downloaded Rom manager and it asked me to install cwm. it found my device and it downloaded and said installed successfully. i rebooted into recovery and from there it loops and boots into recovery non stop. i remove the battery and put it back in and it still tries to boot into recovery with the loop. (Semi-fix) when i remove my battery and boot into download mode. i can cancel it and it will skip trying to boot into recovery and load just fine. i can then shut down or restart as needed. but booting back into recovery will start the issue over again. i just want to know a safe way to have cwm on my note 3, or how to revert it back to normal. any help please?

Pull battery let it sit for two minutes. Push menu button, volume down button, and power button at the same time boot into download mode. once there flash a fresh copy of your OS which ever version of KitKat your running. You lose all your personal data, but your beyond that now. Then here is link to my thread should answer all your questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 enjoy !!!

Yeah ive said it a few times this should not be used
If youve bricked your phone you can get back into your phone by holding volume down menu botton and power botton at the same time when it pops up the warning screen to enter download mode hit cancel your phone will then boot up after your phone is on if you do not have a computer the way you fix the phone so you dont have to do this every time your phone is off you need mobile odin and a kitkat cwm.img.tar for our phone flash it and problem solved you can now boot into cwm recovery then if you want you can flash a twrp img zip through cwm or just keep cwm hope this helps
Ps if you Google mobile odin the dev gives it away on his xda mobile odin page

First, pull the battery for a minute then reinstall hold the power, menu, and volume down buttons at the same time and boot into download mode. The version of Phil'z CWM you flashed is to old for 4.4.4 NK4. Now download to your desktop the right Philz CWM recovery file (Phil'z_Touch_6.48.4-hlte.tar.md5 ) here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ there are two listed use the second one. Flash with odin and you should be good to go. Go to my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 for more info.
done exactly as you said and the same screen came up saying recovery is not seandroid enforcing and then it jumps to Philz Touch 6 so im assuming everything is right now...i really appreciate the help! tyvm
different rom
ok..i installed cyanogen rom..i also used titanium backup..i want to go back to where i was but i dont see titanium backup on there anymore..how do i revert back?
i guess i need to update my phone n900p (help)

[Q] Samsung XCover 2 always boots in recovery

Hello!
I have a Samsung XCover 2 (GT-S7710) and I've tried to flash a CM-Rom for quite a while, but without success. At some point my phone stopped to boot a single rom I installed. It automatically starts into CWM Recovery, even with my backup (made with cwm). I thought cwm could be the bad guy and I flashed the Stock Rom with Odin, but same problem here. In Odin everything is fine but again it starts in recovery automatically.
I've read that the bootloader could be the problem and you need to flash it with Odin, but I don't know which one to take, since all treads were about other phones.
Does anyone know which bootloader I have to take or if there is another solution?
Greetings!

can anyone help me with me with my phone (samsung Galaxy S4)?

i tried to install a new rom with the twrp recovery mod and before starting the process i unistalled twrp, the app from which i got the recovery mod. now when i started the process i factory reset the phone. afterwards when i tried to install the custom rom it said "No file_context" which meant it couldn't it because i unistalled the app. i rebooted my phone but it only boots on the custom recovery mode and at the moment i'm trying the download mode and praying for it to work. does anyone know any other ways to make it work?
