Stuck in boot loop CWM won't load? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I'm fairly new to all this. I have a rooted S3 with CWM installed and had replaced the ROM with android revolution. I'm trying to reboot into recovery mode using ROM manager and my phone is now stuck in a boot loop trying to boot CWM recovery and failing. Help Please.

Flash stock rom to fix bootloop. Download stock rom form sammobile.com,flash it via odin.
Follow this guide to install cwm recovery - CWM Recovery

Hey buddy
I had done the exact same mistakes as you did. And also my home button is not working properly. Could you get your phone in to download mode? Is there a solution for this?

I think I wasn't clear enough There's no access in to the phone. When I switch it on I see Samsung logo then CWM logo then it fails to load CWM and reboots.I mean an infinite boot loop. Since my home button is not working properly, I am not sure if I can take it to the download mode.So what I'm asking is if I fix the button will I be able to get my phone in to download mode or are there other ways to fix this all from the pc? Thank you for your concern

You need download mode to do anything. No download mode = no flash.
You can try holding the volume button while pressing power but afaik you will need the home button.

[Q] Phone won't boot into ClockWorkMod

I recently downloaded and flashed my Qmobile A10 with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160609
And after flashing it I had a RAVEN ROM first which was getting stuck at boot logo. Even after the flashing I get to see the RAVEN ROM boot logo and then I see the Canvas(The ROM I installed) boot animation.
Problem is that I don't get signals. They keep dropping.
Further more I don't get to go to recovery again. Everytime I try it just factory resets the mobile
I tried going to Recovery mode by:
1) Holding Vol UP + Vol Down + Power Button > Vol Up
2) Mobile Uncle Tools again
3) ROM Manager
4) Terminal Emulator
5) Some flashbit.bat file I found for my phone
6) SP Flash Tools
All give the same result that my phone is factory reset. Except SP Flash, even after installing drivers it prompts that the drivers may not be installed and a USB error 8100.
Please guide me with a proper solution.
Buddy it is a serious problem. The best Solution I could give you is to either post this issue Micromax Canvas A110 q&a thread present in legacy devices or Customer service center for which you will have revert to stock rom.

[Q] Recovery mode through PC

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus where, after flashing CWM with Odin, and installing cm11, I don't know why,I'm stuck on an infinite boot animation. But that is not the big issue. I need to enter Recovery Mode, where I have a backup, but the problem is that my Volume Up button is not working, so I can't use the Power Button and Volume Up(I also don't know what could possibly wrong with it, if you could help me also with that, it would be awesome ) one to get there. So I was wondering if there is some other method to enter Recovery, I suppose by computer. I think that when I used Odin, the device restarted being in Download Mode, and I think that it hasn't to be On to do that. I hope I'm not wrong.
Thanks
And sorry if someone already asked that

[Q] S3 bricked? need some help

Yo guys well it eventually had to happen someday. Well i will try to explain what exactly happenend.
I had the Sensation 5 Rom on my device. which means i was on 4.4.2 the CWM recovery is 6.0.4.7
yesterday i decided to flash back to the Revolution HD Rom which is 4.3 if im not mistaken... i didnt change the cwm recovery.
There were no problems while flashing and the Revolution HD Rom was working fine until today when i decided to boot into recovery Mode.
(My hardware PowerButton is defect thats why i took it out of my phone so yeah there is no Power Button on my S3)
Because i cant use the 3 button combo to get into Recovery i used the App quick boot and used the App to boot into Recovery mode.
Now from there on my Problem begins. The Samsung Logo appears then the phone boots into Recovery but only for roughly 1 second.
The only thing i can see is the circle with a hat in the middle (the logo) and the cwm version on the bottom before the phone shuts down and everything starts again...its kind of a bootloop only going into recovery mode for 1 second and then starting a new.
Which mena si CANT use recovery Mode and i ALSO cant get into Download Mode somehow... ive tried holding the Volume down button and Home button and everything but i cant get the phone into download Mode so yeah phone is stuck in that Bootloop which i explained above.
Do u guys think that a Usb Jig from Amazon would actually work getting the Phone into Download Mode? or is it a lost cause and i should start looking for a new phone? ^^
i would appreciate any answers a lot !
No one who can help? :/

Try to use adb to boot to recovery/dowload mode if not use usb jig.

well if i try adb the device isnt shown as connected because well the phone restarts every 2-3 seconds.
If there is still any other way wich it could work without a usb jig that would be awesome
ive found a thread over google which said something about sp tools and scatter files....looked like it was possible to change the files of the phone while it was shut down....Does somebody on here know if this is possible?

[HELP][URGENT]Boot up problem!

So, i installed A LOT of custom roms on my gs3, and the last one screwed it up, so i got android 5.1.1 on my gs3 and when it tried to boot up (after optimizing apps stuff...) it just stopped at "Finishing Boot" and it stayed like that for couple of hours, then since i don't have a power button to enter download mode i made my own homemade usb jig and got my gs3 in download mode and i got it back to stock, then it stopped at samsung logo and it was just booting like that whole night. Then i tried diffrent versions of stock roms, kernels, even new pit file, still nothing. So i've read on couple of forums that i need to enter recovery mode and wipe data & cache(but odin does that automatically right ?) and i can't enter recovery mode cause i have a broken power button(and no i can't connect wires cause when i got rid of the power button i accidentally pulled out one of the connectors).So how can i enter recovery without a power button if i can't boot up the phone ? Or is there any other fix ? Or it's dead ?
P.S I can't take it to service no warranty + binary count is 14 and i can't reset it without my phone booted up.
No power, no phone. It's that simple. Fix the power button and then you can boot it up. No other way possible.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
you could try thru usb then adb command: fastboot reboot recovery (if i remember correctly)
edit: just read you can't even turn it on

How do i send adb command, since gs3 doesn't have fastboot mode only download mode, and adb commands are only available thru recovery mode...

go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t1379875
download the driver, install once while gs3 booted, then in download mode install the driver again - while phone is connected
i haven't been able to get a "fastboot devices" respond while in download mode, maybe i'm not doing it right
the driver supposed to support galaxy s3 international with adb and fastboot

installing the drivers only need any gs3 but since it's stuck on logo only, you can't do anything.
i thought you said you have a home-made jig to boot into download mode
Odin don't wipe data and cache automatically. I had bootloop problem after flashing stock too you have to get to recovery anyway you can and format cache and data from there. As I know you can flash files through odin with your home-made USB jig. So there are some recovery zips that will boot into recovery directly after flashing them. You can either find one of them or you can ask someone to edit one of the recovery zips for you. The final way I can think about is adb. You can go to download mode with your USB and then you can use adb. Give adb this command. Adb reboot recovery and it will reboot to recovery. If I helped you in any case press the ? tnx button.

Stuck at samsung logo! (volume down button not working.)

Hi. I'm new here, and I really need help!
It started today when I'm tired of a disaster lagging using android 5.1.1 rom on my Galaxy tab 10.1 (GT-P7500).
So, I decided to flash a stock rom to go back to honeycomb 3.2
And basically, a volume down button on my tablet is broken. so I won't be able to reboot in recovery mode.
I tried reboot in download mode by pressing power + volume up button but it won't work either.
Then I managed to reboot in download mode and use Odin to flash a rom by using adb cmd but I didn't boot to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset first(I don't know if this has something to do with this problem.)
And that brought me to a dead end problem.. Stuck at the logo while booting up. :crying:
I don't really know what else to do or is there some hope with this situation. I plugged a usb to my pc while in logo screen and it showed up as SAMSUNG_Android so when I check by typing adb devices in command it's there but can't get it to work since adb required debugging mode.
I think I will probably end up order a new button for replacement but I feel like I should ask a professionals first.
