[Q] stuck in broken recovery mode

Hi everyone
First of all a little history:I used this [PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] v4.93.6 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+ext4-LT4 to root my n7000 on 4.0.4 (I bought it with 4.0.4).
Then after some time Android wanted an upgrade to 4.1.2 and after some time I just tried it and it failed after booting into recovery mode, because it didnt find a the expected kernel, I think. But I had the chance to boot up again.
OK I then did the update with Kies-Software and everything worked again. Then I rooted the phone again using the same method as mentioned in the post above.
Now today the phone wanted to update again, I thought, OK, if it didnt fail completely the first time, it will fail in recovery mode and let me boot up again.
But...
This time it went into recovery mode and didnt let me boot up again. It just shows the robot with the crystal and the progress bar seems to move a little but then the screen goes black for a second and the robot returns and the progress bar moves a little and the same again.... I dont get into the recovery menu.
I tried samsung kies emergency recovery, it doesnt find my n7000.
I tried to flash the kernel with a newer version from the post above. (I am not allowed to post there). No change it gets stuck in broken recovery mode.
I can push volumedown power and home to get into the download mode.
My question is what can I do?
Is there any other chance to avoid a complete stock recovery (is that the right term/way)?
What do I have to flash and how?
I am a little worried about the brick issues and I dont know which version I have to flash to set it back completely...
Please help & thanks

No worries, since your download mode is still working you can flash a stock Samsung ROM via odin. Download one from here and flash it in odin while in download mode. Latest at this point of time is LT4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
This will give you the stock JB Bootloader, Recovery, and ROM. Its completely unrooted though, and the phone will not be wiped in the process, so remember to do so after you flashed it.

Thanks a lot, crownest!
I sweated a bucket of blood and seat, because I couldnt wipe cache and data first, but it worked!!!
Everything looks like before!´the update!
Some more questions (sorry):
do you think I should wipe cache and data now?
Is a stock rom like the rom on internal usbcard only?
What about the update? Can I update safely now?
Thanks again for helping...

Yup you should be able to wipe cache and dalvik with no issues now.
I believe all ROMs be it stock or custom installs to the NAND memory (Someone correct me if im wrong) and never on your internal/external SDcard
As for OTA updates via Kies, I dont see why not, but if the same issue does reoccur again then my suspicions would point to a possible NAND corruption on the device. Not sure if there is a fix for that, but its a risk you gotta take. Or you can always root the phone and flash custom ROMs as new builds get released, this way you'll never have to use OTA updates again.

Help! Frozen 4.3 install

So, I rooted my developer edition M7 and then reflashed the stock recovery so that I could install the OTA 4.3 update. Everything went fine until the update started installing. Now it's been installing for the past hour with no progress in the progress bar.
Can anyone please help me? does it usually take an hour? Is there a way to stop the installation without bricking it?
Any advice is desperately needed!

Do you have the stock rom and stock kernel (boot.img)?
And your bootloader is relocked/locked?

Yes, i believe so. In my efforts to get rid of cwm recovery, I used the stock nandroid for the developer edition from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248997&page=5 though it didn't get rid of the cwm recovery so I flashed the stock recovery from ARHD.
Can I reboot the phone by holding down the power button and start over?

Also, my bootloader is currently unlocked.

Well, I broke down and did a hard reset of the phone. It froze once more during the installation process, but ultimately concluded. However, it did not update to 4.3, but instead stayed with 4.1.2. I guess I'm just grateful that the phone is still working.
Anyway, i'll just have to research more.

@ThickG
You have to flash the stock recovery of 1.29.1540.3 version for get the ota and install it
So, i will search it for you!

Used safestrap, Unistalled and cant get stock recovery back, help?

pretty self explanatory. I used safestrap, unistalled it, when i try to get to the stock recovery i pick it from the fastboot menu using the up vol key and then the phone just boots like normal, never goes to the recovery. any ideas would be hugely appreciated.

Are you still rooted? After rooting with any of jcase's methods (i don't know about the 4.4 one), rebooting to recovery just launches the rom without write protect. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you'd have to flash back to stock to recover stock recovery.
Why exactly do you want stock recovery back? Maybe we can work around it to get the results you want.
Also, you should post things like this in the Q&A forum.

well im worse off now. wiped my system. no rom. no recovery. think im royally screwed.

Yup, safestrap replaces your recovery, and since you nixed safestrap, your phone has nothing to fall back to. You're phone will be fine, I did the same thing when I unrooted and tried to install the 4.4 update. You just need to flash the stock recovery files in RSDLite. Will you loose your data? Sure (or you can save what you want on your computer), but your phone will be fine. Let me know if you get messed up trying to do this.

[Q] Help needed please. Stuck on boot screen.

Hi guys. I was hoping that maybe some of you genius's maybe be able to help me out? I will try and explain my problem as clearly as possible.
I have an I9305 and an from the UK. I have rooted my phone before and used many custom roms. But quite recently I decide to unroot my phone and go back to a normal stock rom. Last week I got the urge
to root again and install some custom roms. I quickly discovered that since I had OTA my phone that the latest OS has problems (knox) with rooting. I did manage to root my phone. However, the problem started when I tried to install
twrp through Goomanager. I tried to reboot into recovery mode and my phone was stuck on the Galaxy S III splash start screen, and I could not get into recovery mode either. I could still get into download mode. Eventually I did manage
to restore my phone using odin, and install a stock rom for Ireland. After this I tried to install a stock from for the UK, and now my phone is now back to being stuck on the splash screen, and I can not enter recover mode on my phone
using the up/home/power combo, but I can still acces download mode and conect to odin. I have been searching on line for several days for some solutions and fixes, but I seem to be getting no where. So please, if you can help my out and hopefully get my phone back to life I would
be extremely grateful.

If you can boot to download mode, then have you tried to flash a custom recovery with odin? If its twrp you want then flash the twrp tar for i9305 which you can get off the team win website and then see if you can access recovery. If you can, then you should be able to flash a samsung 4.3 rom or cm rom from external sd if you don't have one on your internal or even restore a backup if you have one.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have tried to flash cwm and twrp using odin. They seem to flash fine, but I can not enter recover mode at all. I have also tried to flash some custom roms and they also seem to flash fine, with no errors, but my phone is still stuck on the boot logo. Thanks for any more help.

im afraid like me, your stuck on 4.3... download the offical rom and odin it across to your phone, you will not be able to root your phone from now on, your stuck stuck with stock 4.3.. you cant even enter recovery mode thanks to knox.. just the download mode.. like i said in my post "UP YOURS SAMSUNG" IF I EVER SEE YOU IN THE STREET ILL KNOX YOU OUT LOL

relating btuali
Thanks for you replies and help so far. It would be good if I could flash 4.3 through odin, but unfortunately after each successful flash, my phone remains on the sIII logo screen. Maybe there is a specific rom that you guys could recommend that I try? Thanks once again.

Hi there. A big thanks for taking the time to help and give advice. I now finaly have my phone working again. I used Odin 3.7 and the latest official rom, entitled "I9305XXUENA1_I9305SIOENA1_SIO.zip" Odin froze and stalled a few times trying to install but after a few tries it worked. I can now also get back into recovery mode now. So, I was wondering might it be a good idea to do the normal wipes in recovery mode. ie wipe cache, etc. Thanks once again.

Yes keep it clean...

[N910C][TUTORIAL]TWRP Recovery on 5.1.1. (No root)

Hi guys Recently Samsung released 5.1.1 for our devices! So I decided to make a easy tutorial on how to install TWRP on our devices (unfortunately without root).
1. Download newest odin from Here!
2. Reboot to download mode.
3. Download this file TWRP RECOVERY
4.Flash it with AP option.
5. Done! Now You should be able to boot into TWRP Recovery.
Info
Can I restore my previous custom rom now?
Yes and no. I tried restoring two roms. AOSP and TW, aosp had a bootloop then successfully booted, and TW didn't seem to boot at all.
Does it root my device/Can I root my device now?
Nope, not yet. I tried to make a custom rom with root built in but it was stuck in a bootloop.
Why would I need this?
Well. Now You can restore Your rom, and flash other roms(Some may fail due to a newer bootloader).
Any bugs?
Sometimes first boot after flashing this recovery might bootloop, but just remove Your battery and turn on Your phone again.(Happened only once to me)

Yes... I did manage to restore the backup image of 5.1 as I ended up in bootloop while trying for the root access. So far OK with at least TWRP is working.

I have a question, If I'm on 5.1.1 and I've installed this TWRP, By using this TWRP RECOVERY, can I install 5.0.1 custom rom via zip file?
I do not mean to restore my backup rom. I mean I do a fresh installation

Some people have reported issues flashing a 5.01 rom without using odin to downgrade first

It seems to bootloop roms that need 5.0 bootloader. But AOSP rom that runs on 5.1.1 boots up without any problems. Just during boot You might see message "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and then the rom should boot up.

I flashed twrp via odin and it says pass then reboot after that when i try to enter recovery it get me to stock recovery any clue why is that and how to solve this ? v.v

Thanks a ton bro.

thank u so much guys

Easiest way on odin is make sure auto reboot is unchecked. When its done unplug the cable pull the battery put it back in boot into twrp Let me know how it works out for you.
