Hi, all,
I'm having an issue with my phone's recovery. It looks like the recovery on my phone is corrupt. Due to this, the phone is also not working. I would like help on how to flash a recovery using MiFlash. It looks like that's the only thing that seems to be working.
I have repartitioned the phone for installing CM 12.1, but I would just be happy to get my phone working again.
Please help!
Thank you in advance!

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.

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...

Hello everyone,
I'd appreciate some help here.
I've been using my xperia tx on 4.3 JB for quite a while now but it consumed my battery like hell. So I flashed it back to 4.1.2 JB stock fw.
Now here's the problem, as i'd like to flash to carbon rom and to do so I need to boot into cwm recovery. I've downloaded CWM 9i_JB by davidmarco or something like that and it installed successfully. My phone is rooted and it has unlocked bootloader. I tried several times to boot into cwm with restarting my phone then when Sony logo appears I was consistently pressing volume down button and nothing happened, my phone booted normally. I've also downloaded Rom Manager to try and boot into cwm but that didn't work also. I don't really know where the problem is and i'd appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance,
Sandi
edit:
I've flashed another kernel with cwm integrated in it so everything works fine now.
Hi guys i am new here and very happy to be part of the team, i need some help ! I have installed the Cyanogen mod 12 on my device, but it came with the Cyanogen Recovery witch has no restore backup option, then i try to flash by him the AOKP rom, just for get in to a new recovery for restore my backup, but it gives error, i try to flash other recoveries but everything gives an error message. The only thing that can flash is the gapps for the CM and give a downgrade for the CM11, but the recovery is the same. I try to flash by the sideload too but its all the same, try by the fastboot but my device keeps the blue led for a few seconds and then turn off. I'll be real glad if anyone can help me, i have a backup from the CWM and i am be thinking if there is a way of restore by sideloader
Thanxs everybody

install an old version of rashr app ....and then via the app flash this to have a working recovery
Hi everyone,
So I've tried to install an unofficial CM12 ROM, from here, on my i9305. An error happened, because of my recovery, which should have been TWRP instead of CW.
So I installed TWRP, using Odin, and it seemed to work... only after a reboot, the CM12 logo was looping... So I flashed the official CM, and the phone was booting correctly... till I noticed that my IMEI was null!
After some readings, I installed a stock ROM from Sammobile for my i9305, and -- oh joy! -- IMEI was back again. But if I try to root the phone again, systematically IMEI get lost... And my actual only solution seems to be staying with stock ROM :crying:.
That's the reason why I'm here : asking you for some help, in order to get rooted again, to install an official CM this time... Don't want to stay with Samsung stock ROM! So maybe there is anything I could do, to keep IMEI and smartphone "stable" while rooting?
I thank you in advance for your help, and hope my english will not be too bad...
Hi,
do not use TWRP 2.8.7.0 from TWRP Website: broken build!
Please flash this Recovery via Odin:
here
Thank you so much! I just tried with another TWRP build, and everything was fine! I'm also trying the unofficial CM12 ROM from here, and very happy with it.
Again, thank you very much, problem solved!
Hello,
first post, trust I did not miss aynthing.
Bought a cheap used SM-T810N as "damaged" believing it is a software problem and I can fix it.
Flashed everything I found (Lollipo, Marshmallow, CM, TWRP recovery, etc.)
Tablet stucks at Samsung Logo and shows some strange color effects (lines, artefacts) but screen works fine in Recovery, TWRP, etc.
Anyone any idea how to identify the real problem?
Thanks a lot, you all are doing a great job here.

Have you tried a full wipe before using Odin to flash a ROM? Including the data partition? Or tried booting to "download" instead of TWRP to use Odin?
edit: And you do need to use Odin to get things working before trying to flash anything via TWRP.
Seems like a mismatched bootloader and kernel issue to me.
Flashing stock firmware with ODIN should fix it if it is.
