Was on CM9 wiped everything. Clean install and flashed a JB rom (CM10) and am now stuck on boot screen? I am flashing for a friend I rooted his phone a while ago and needed to update him. I do this on my own HTC device all the time. So i am not sure what one does when stuck on a samsung device. Help is greatly appreciated

Is it bootlooping? How long as it been on the boot screen?
Are you able to get in recovery? If so, reflash (dirty) right over CM10. If that doesn't work, get in download mode, flash stock KK4 with Odin then Corn kernel with Odin 1.85, from there, you can flash CM10 and the Gapps.

what is the method to get into Recovery without the power button? My friend just told me his button is janky at best? It goes to the white AT&t screen then sits on that screen the whole time never moves sometimes is goes black but just pops back up. We wiped everything so there is nothing to boot to. We were trying to just wipe everything clean and start over to just clean up the device. So what options do I have, or do you suggest? thanks again

The buttons combo to recovery is both volumes + power button, Download mode is volume down + power button
this worked for me

The bootloop you are experiencing isn't really something that you did wrong. Going from ICS to JB includes a partition layout change and when you flash a JB rom the first time it will either reboot during the first flash or it will flash quickly(only flashing the new kernel and changing the layout) then when you try to boot you end up in a bootloop.
Now as far as getting back into recovery... my power button is jacked too so heres some ideas for you. If you do a battery pull and then replace it does the phone automatically power on? If yes then do a battery pull, then before replacing it, hold down the power and both volume buttons. Insert the battery while still holding them all. You should then see the att screen then maybe the kernel splash screen or itll just go black. As soon as you see the att screen again release all of the buttons and it will (hopefully) boot you into recovery. This has worked for me even though my power button doesn't work.

The method of adb or at least "[Utility] ADB Portable by Red_81" found in the dev forum would work... but only if somehow ur debugging was enabled. If not, then download mode is the only option.---hold both volume +&- and insert mirco usb...

Hi,
After updating to 4.2.2 I rooted my Xperia by ibtimes.co.uk/articles/484784/20130630/xperia-z-root-android422-jellybean-locked-bootloader.htm manual. And after successful rooting and installing some root apps I decided to install CWM recovery to backup my system. I installed the recovery following androidteen.com/sony-xperia-z-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-with-locked-bootloader manual. Everything went nice and smooth and I entered the recovery mode (by pressing Vol Up while LED was green during booting) and made a backup (btw is that a nandroid backup?). The problem is that I can enter the recovery only once after "flashing" the phone with CWM. Any combination of volume keys, power key or LED will not let me enter it again later. Can anyone guide me how to enter to recovery mode anytime or fix this problem so I can use my backup if needed?
Thank you in advance!

Hey, i use to have this issue with the Z so i just installed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 that should always let u into recovery, when the phone vibrates and the led goes green hold up. Yeah a backup is a nandroid backup. If you cant get that to work ill try help out further.
When exiting recovery did you answer the question with 'yes'? If so that's the problem. You have to answer no or have to flash a patch by doomlord.

There is no question when I exit recovery. The only option to exit recovery is reboot now (atleast I guess). What patch are you talking about? Could you provide me some link pls.
Well the dualboot is definitely last resort but I would rather fix this CWM issue :/
Yeah this happened to me also, you need to use the dual recovery instead

I don't see the point of a dual recovery. That recovery itself already contains CWM and add TWRP. What would I need 2 recoveries? There should be a way how to make CWM work somehow. Hmmm :/

Nobody seems to be maintaining the older releases of the recoveries for locked bootloaders. This is a known issue with them on 4.2.2 firmwares.
Just install the dual recovery and use only CWM recovery. You will literally notice no difference.

I've got the same problem.
so... I installed XZ Dual Recovery AND the zip file.... Flashed the Honami port (eXistenZ Ultra V1) and flashed the Dual recovery at the same time ( just as it says to do)
Now i can enter TWRP no problem, but when i push volume up it just sends the LED purple, and stays on the sony logo...
any one else having this problem???
Thanks so much for posting this, worked like a charm!
Hi, I also have some issues with getting into recovery mode. Ive bought this handheld not long ago, and deceided to unlock the bootloader and root it, than flash a custom ROM. Unlocked with code received from Sony, rooted with towelroot. I transferred the .zip to the sd, but somehow Im not able to put the device into recovery mode. The LED doesnt light up when I turn the device on. I push the vol button, but no effect. Tried apps to reboot into recovery mode, but the phone everytime reboots normaly...

Yeah my LED never turns green, it seems to turn a purplish color after the Sony logo comes up.
This is so frustrating, is there a tool similar to odin that I can use to flash back to stock?

Hello everyone ; Hope you're good,
So my Slll i9305 won't stop rebooting, and he bugged in Samsung logo, and again he reboot, I can't access to recovery mode " volume up, home button, and on button". I hoped to flash him, but I can't too, I can't connect my phone to PC,
I looked for the solution in google, and I finished to arrive here, maybe and I hope I can find the real solution of this problem
Thank you guys,
I'm waiting,

Nep, I can't, I can't boot into download mode, and i can't do wipe
It's so complicated for me
That's weird. I assume the power button seems to be faulty. Were you running a stock rom? Did that happen out of the blue?

My Pc can't read the usb phone, I looked for all solution, and I tried them all, no hope
so im here needing ur help
thank you
What if you pull out battery for some minutes and then try to start your phone? Doesn't work either?
And my other questions? What did you do before that boot loop happened? Are you running stock ROM and stock recovery?
Btw you don't have to quote each post, it is easier for reading
I give you a summary of the situation
I have a 9305 Black edition SIII, it restarts in a loop, and I can not charge the battery gets stuck with low battery and reboute yet, I even tried a different battery type EB-L1G6LLU and it lasts for two week almost;
The download mode does not work, every time I enabled it restarts,
The recovery mode to wipe the same, it does not even appear,
I tried to connect via keis Odin and the other failure of the operation
I even tried to change the connector, the same thing
Frankly I do not know what to do, If you have a tip, hint is welcome
What did you do before that boot loop happened? Are you running stock ROM and stock recovery? or all custom? If you pull out battery and put it back in, does the phone start on its own without you pressing the power button?
I tried any solution possible in Internet and form from the world wide.
My motherboard are dead so, I have only one solution it's to buy a other.
Thank you to be here and answing

open phone and check point of contact string of buttons imo
your phone dont droped or flooded?
you use home buton +power+ vol up to get recovery mode ?
fake chinese s3 ?
press buttons long to get into download mode, try charge battery using 4v and 100mA without phone case

I have tried the button combo, but that will only work if it is not in bootloop.
