What was the "safe" kernel That you were trying to flash? And what Rom vers were you on and what were you trying to do by installing those kernels? More details please, But Since you are still able to access both recovery and download mode, I don't think you have done too much damage. You can either follow any custom rom OP procedures, or download stock samsung rom and flash it through odin.

[Q] Loop in recovery mode

When im in recovery mode it keeps looping or restarting as i press up down or anything.
Im following this post. I flashed a stock rom then installed CWM to come to this problem. I have the international note.
Id be nice for any troubleshooting or tips for this issue
how about download mode? if you could, flash a stock gb rom via pc odin and start over.
Wouldnt that bring me back to where i was before?
It only happens after i instal CWM so perhaps im using an outdated kernal for CWM?
more like using an outdated CWM. Kernel shouldnt affect it.
You could just flash a kernel in ODIN, Something like speedmod, It will root and give working CWM, aswell as some cool kernel tweaks.
Its easier than flashing a whole firmware package
Wont flashing via odin give me the triangle?
Also how would i go around using it for this ROM?
It tells me to use abyss to do a full wipe...
Hey man ! How did you get on ? All sorted now i hope ?

When you install CWM from dr.ketans link, I think that you have touch CWM, try using your fingers not hardware keys (vol up/down).
Thanks its working now i think . besides maps and K air not updating thank you everyone!

[Q] Can't access stock recovery mode.

Hi,
I've searched around and found another topic in wich the user had the same problem, but I couldn't figure out what he did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634870
I flashed my phone with the JB official update and it is working fine. But after that I was trying do enable root on my phone, wich requires some recovery mode installed on the phone.
But when I try to access the stock recovery mode, I only get a Samsung Galaxy S Advance logo screen and that's it, it gets stuck.
I can access the Download mode though (The user in the other post I mentioned couldn't).
After trying to access the stock recovery mode I tried to flash the TWRP recovery mode as explained in this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873119), but all I get is the Samsung Galaxy S Advance logo screen again.
Is there a way to flash the stock recovery mode?or a way to flash the Clockwork recovery? I searched a lot and couldn't find any ways of doing thaht.
Thank you.
there is a temporary CWM,check in development section,it needs recovery.
or
have you tried waiting in recovery lets say 1-2 min?

Hi, thanks for answering!
This one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987313
I've seen it before, but I need to use the stock recovery mode to install it, wich I can't access.
and yes, I gave it up to 5 min to initialize the stock recovery mode and nothing =/
did you try factory reset?
at settings-backup and reset?
or
flash firmware again and try.

...But , i could access to Download Mode *(Volume Down+Power+Home) , I couldn't get access to Recovery Mode only *(it turns Black Screen & keep me waiting so long) .
I thought problem solves if I couldn't change another Custom Rom , but i can't even BOOT into recovery mode.
THANKS Brothers for solving here, THanks THanks. (I'm urgent for it too..)
Current Rom I hooking is:

Flash philz kernel (.tar) from pc odin while in download mode (latest version). See if you can get into recovery, if you can, download and put the CM rom+gapps on external sd card, flash without any wipes from recovery or if you did take any nandroid backup you can restore that from philz kernel.

download philz kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
download the one that says .tar instead of .zip. put the phone into download mode. Open PC odin, connect phone to pc, COM ID should light up in yellow with some number. click on PDA and choose the .tar file and click on start. once it is finished, reboot into recovery and see if it works. You can fix the counter and yellow triangle later with Triangle away application.

Is the Kernel version essential? Since Philz v5.11.2 has several Kernels you can choose from, where as you cannot check which one you have running since the phone does not boot anymore.
correct , you're right!

still waiting for a clear answer to proceed the steps.
Philz Kernel may need a LINK here. maybe URL ?
THanks ALL ! feel that solutions are near now.
as you cannot check, you can download the one for your region, check on sammobile.com/firmwares for which one is for your region and i already gave the link to the philz kernel, i wont post the direct url for the file.
Basically got my phone to boot, CWM is still broken, anyway to work with this?

It doesn't matter which kernel you flash, you're just flashing to give you recovery and then you can flash cm and gapps. It won't boot, it's not supposed to.

Not sure I'm in the same boat...
is anyone seeing the same as I am - I also can't boot into Recovery since nightly 20130824. I can boot into Download mode... and... I can still boot into my current CM10.2 nightly (20130824)!!!
I've tried reflashing CWM using ROM Manager, even a few times... but nothing changes. Trying to get into recovery using VolUp+Home+Pwr doesn't work (after Samsung GT-N7000 white text... blackscreen (which I can see is still 'on'). If I try to boot into recovery using Rom Toolbox or similar, it behaves the same and I can only get it to reboot into the ROM once I've pulled the battery out and then put it back in and connected to a charger so the battery charging icon shows... which somehow clears the 'boot into recovery' flag somewhere.
Very concerned... saw something in the changelogs back at 20130824 about recovery fixes and wondered if this might happen. The first time I got it to boot back into the ROM something wasn't quite right with the internal/external SD mounts... all my ringtones and alerts etc. were reset to just numbers (e.g. 40125) which actually happens more often than I expect... but this time I couldn't find the ones I usually use in the selection list.
I rebooted with SD card out... then re-inserted it... and then things went back to how they should be and I could see and select my preferred tones again.
Have tried booting into Recovery via app, via hw keys... with SD card in, SD out... SIM card in... SIM out... both SD and SIM out... there's just no way into recovery.
Using ROM Manager I also tried to setup the alternative Recovery (TWRP) but that also gets stuck with the message 'ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation'. but same behaviour when trying to boto into recovery.
I've also used Android Root Toolkit to try save/protect Root... Restore Root.. etc. but to no avail.
Any ideas... please?
EDIT: Thanks for the Odin3 / PhilZ Kernel advice - that seemed to work.
Question: Now that I've got back to recovery and updated to nightly of 20130826, did I overwrite PhilZ kernel?
yes
Yes,

Read the rom thread, fixes there

[Q] Blue Screen takes over after CWM v6.x.x was added

How do i downgrade my CWM or get rid of it?
I attempted Odin to flash the older CWM v5 but, that didn't work, I think because my phone's download mode isn't working either.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hi There,
Well you can flash the recovery in lots of ways like:
*Fastboot
*Flashify
*WinDroid etc.
I recommend Fastboot. If you want to know how to do that. Let me know i will provide you with the Guide.

So, is it working or not?
If yes, please flash the stock 5.0.2. Install Xperia Z dual recovery, there is a script that installs dual recovery with just one click. Just connect the device on the pc, enable developer options, enable usb debug and allow to do its thing.
When running the script select option 3, 5.0.2 without root.
After you install the recovery, you can flash any rom you want from there, just make sure to do the correct wiping before and after. happy flashing
Its working now,is there tutorial for flashing recovery

Could not find any tutorial, here is the manual though : http://nut.xperia-files.com/html/xzdualrecovery-manual.html
Anyway you can follow these simple steps:
1. Flash stock 5.0.2 ftf
2. After phone boots, enable Developer Options and from there enable USB debug
3. Connect phone to PC.
4. Assuming you have Windows, Download the Recovery installation Tool here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=ef9a86aff9041bf1734fc9e3afe75f084d655774
5. Extract, hit the Installer and just follow the instructions from there.
For more info check the official thread about XZ Dual Recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

I cannot see any official CM builds, if you like any Rom in the forum, please write to that thread because I'm not really sure.
If you want to experiment, you can! Because if anything goes wrong you can always use flashtool
I saw some builds on cm website,is that official?

Yes, there are official builds but those are Nightly - which means they're not ready yet for everyday use but only as test versions.
You will not have a fully functional phone because there might be many bugs in those Roms.
Here is a Rom I personally use and find very nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-official-sony-lollipop-5-1-1-t3196237
