This always happens to me, I installed cwm and it works fine, but I can't normally boot my phone it just boot loops once and again, I just can go into recovery mode, that's it.

Was there a kernel included with the CWM files?
If on a stock Sony ROM re-flash a stock ROMs kernel via flashtool
If your using a non Sony ROM try flashing a kernel that matches the ROM you're using

How to install CWM recovery

Friends.
I recently installed fde rom having cwm recovery version 3.0.2. When I tried to return to gdx 28b it gave me an error and I accepted roms option of restoring recovery and could boot to gdx. But now the issue is I don't find cwm recovery when I reboot. How do I reinstall cwm recovery without going back to stock rom?

Can you boot in ROM? If so, boot in Fde, grab x8toolbox, plug phone in pc, enable usb debugging, and install CWM or FreeXperia recovery. If you can't boot into Rom, then shut your phone off. Turn it on again, press the screen repedeatly. If CWM doesn't show up, turn your phone off again, start it, and press&hold the volume down button until FreeXperia recovery shows up. If nothing shows up, flashtool is there for flashing ftf of stock rom.

Press thanks if i helped
It is clasic problem of stock kernel.There is no way without re flashing with flashtool .
Solved. After trying many things, went back to stock and repeated everything till gdx28.
CWM for X8 Stock rom only, I meant as ur Original recovery u can't use CWM, only can XRecovery.....
I Saw that from web and I didn't believe it that time, so i installed CWM on a custom rom then it stucked at SE Logo.....
u only can use CWM come with custom roms, but some roms don't work it

[Q] Kernel and ROM problem

Hey!
I've flashed kernel and firmware on my Note successfully several times, but now I encountered a problem:
I'm on Asylum_CM10.1_20130311_n7000 ROM and was using Asylum_CM10.1_20130311_n7000 kernel, all working fine.
Then I flashed a new kernel, HydraCoreNirvana Kernel for Galaxy Note GT-N7000. After this I've been in hell, every time I try to start/boot the phone, it jams on the Asylum startup animation. I tried both from the SD and when the phone wouldn't start, via Odin. Then I tried flashing back to the working kernel above, no help. Now I'm stuck with two non-working kernels and a useless phone. I hope I haven't ruined it already...
I was flashing with the instructions @ rootgalaxynote. com
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please, I'm drunk and freaking out with this phone (I know 1st world problems).
Do a wipe data in recovery (if u can go to) or ODIN. Then try to see if the phone boots, if it doesn't you can do a clean install of Asylum ROM again. If nothing works(!) Go back to flash a stock ROM via ODIN and then use Philz kernel to re-root.

Tried all that (went straight to stock). No help, I guess somethings gone wrong with the boot sequence, I flashed Philz kernel and now it loops on the samsung animation. Before, it sometimes showed "Android is upgrading 1/83 (or something similar), the number would go up a while, then the start-up animation again and all over again from 1/83. It always seems to jam on the ****ing animation... Gonna jump off the roof.

I got the phone working again. Did a factory reset from recovery and after that the phone started up. After that installed the HydraCoreNirvana Kernel again and now it works just fine. Thanks very much for the help!

[Q] Troublehooting with bricked Galaxy Note needed

Ok ,
I tried to extend the lifetime of my Galaxy Note through replacing the official (sloooow) rom with a custom one. I read so many how-to's online that I got confused. Here is what I did:
First I rooted my phone.
Then I installed CWM via RomManager, which did not work. Altough Rommanager shows an installed CWM the phone always start into Stock Recovery.
I learned that the N7000, in order to use CWM needs a flashed kernel.
I flashed the kernel via Heimdall (Mac OS) with this philz_touch_6.48.4-n7000.tar.md5.
The flashing went successfull (according to Heimdall), and the phone rebooted automatically, but all I see since then is the Samsung Logo (Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000) and a yellow triangle. From there is goes nowhere. I can enter Download Mode, but is does not boot. Also no Recovery Mode. Weird.
Any advice where to take it from here? Do I have to flash back the original kernel?
Try an older philz. That one you used is to new gor Stock Samsung Rom. What rom is currently installed?

The phone doesn't boot because the kernel you flashed is a kitkat kernel.
You should have recovery mode. Try to remove the battery for couple of seconds and then try to get into recovery. If still no go..
Go to Philz thread and look for tw kernels link. Go there and flash XXLTA kernel using odin. Now try recovery mode again.

I have the Stock Samsung Android 4.1.2 installed. I'll try it again with an older kernel. Thanks for your help.

I tried it several times, also after removing the battery. no success. Is is necessary to use ODIN? I use Heimdall as I mentioned, because I am running Mac OS.
I'll try it with a different kernel and report back here about my results. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for your help. I searched through that Philz Thread and found the link to the older kernels. Then I picked this version after asking google for a compatible kernel with N7000 Samsung Rom Android 4.1.2.
Kernel PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0
I flashed it with Heimdall and finally the device boots again. Still not able to boot into Clockworkmod. Device does not enter Recovery mode at all. But at least I have a working device for now again.

Install terminal emulator and try the command
su
reboot recovery.
Now that is weird. After the device booted again I seemed to lost root access to the device. I tried to get root again with Framaroot, also installed SuperUser again since it was magically deinstalled. Now the device booted into the logo with the yellow triangle and then the screen turned black. Nothing happened from there.
Fortunately I had the idea to use adb on the device before trying to flash an original Samsung Rom back on the device out of pure despair. adb listed the device and stated that the device is in recovery mode. It seems that the device always booted into recovery, altough I tried to boot normally. Recovery still not working. But using "adb reboot" helped to reboot the device again.
Trying to start in recovery mode, i.e. with adb reboot recovery always ends up in a black screen. Somehow this is broken.
I think I have to go back to zero and try to follow a good guide from the beginning without mixing several guides.

May be the recovery partition is messed up due to the usage of rom manager earlier. Try to flash a stock rom.

[Q] My phone won't boot

Hi guys,
I was triyng to enter recovery with my SGSA 'cause I wanted to do a nandroid backup,
I pulled volume up+power+home like other times, but my phone didn't go into recovery but got stuck on "Samsung galaxy s advance" logo, and then it turned off, and rebooted, and now it's something about 1 hour that is rebooting . I can't enter recovery and now even boot, I can only enter in download mode. What should I do? I'm on Vanir by mkaluza and Mk kernel r6, and I didn't flash anything else after flashing the kernel.
P.S.: Now flashed Stock rom by Odin, same problem: the phone constantly boots, but now it enters in recovery. Please help me

Flash one more time stock jb with Odin, and then see if it boots. If it doesn't, try to wipe data and cache.

I've tried it, but it did'nt work . I think it's something in efs, so I can't do nothing, 'cause via Odin there's no way to restore efs backups. Tomorrow I'll go buying a new phone. Anyway, thanks for your help man. Goodbye guys

Can't flash recovery on my S3

Hello, just bought an used i8190. Since last friday i have been trying to flash a custom recovery on this phone via Odin, but after i flash it returns to the default recovery on next boot.
Yes, i have unchecked the "Auto-reboot" option on Odin. I turn off the phone and then manually enter recovery but with no results. I rooted the phone pretty easily and installed both TWRP and CWM apps to flash from android, but they don't work either (twrp crashes always and CWM just gives me an error.
Mi baseband model is XXAll2
kernel is 3.0.31 [email protected] (root name seems weird)
I searched the forum and found similar cases with the baseband, but even so i haven't found a concrete solution.
I even flashed a new pre-rooted rom from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Mi compilation number has changed to XXAMG1 but the baseband remains the same. I can't flash a recovery whatever i try.
I hope someone can give me an answer, cause i really want to use this phone feautures to it's fullest
Update:
Somehow, i managed to flash CWM via it's app successfully. However, when i tried to flash the TWRP via zip all i got was a blank screen and the phone booted directly to Android. I had to reflash the cwm with the app. However, i tried flashing via odin the Lineage os 14 from novafusion and i got a bootloop, reflashed the old stock firmware and now my device works but the recovery doesn't, and can't even flash this time via the app.
I tried flashing via ODIN stock recovery and other recoverys and i still get the same result. I have downloaded some stock roms, but im afraid to flash them in case i end up in a bootloop and unable to access recovery still
Any clues?

Flash the stock rom as it will fix bootloops and bricked devices. Make sure to have the right ROM and flash it with Odin. The os may take longer on first boot and make sure to factory reset it as data may cause bootloops, then try flashing the recovery.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1 through Odin
