Can't load recovery - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everything on my GT-I8190N works except for the recovery. It used to work, then I flashed it with the stock rooted interface, and in this part I don't know if recovery worked, then I flashed it with Cycanogenmod and it installed the TWRP recovery, which would show the "Teamwin" screen and then reboot, until I stopped attempting to boot into recovery. Now I just flashed it with CWM and now it just sticks on the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini splash screen until the battery is removed if I attempt to go into recovery. I'd love any tips, because I can't install Glapps until this is resolved!

Fixed it, flashed the standard recovery, reset the phone and the cache from that, flashed TWRP and it worked.

[Q] Can get to recovery menu, but boot hangs at logo

I was trying to update to AOKP on my Captivate. I was running GB 2.3.5. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I installed ClockWorkMod Recovery, then I added the zip file to the SD. Rebooted into recovery, and then tried "install zip from sdcard". It said that it was installed. I backed out and then tried to turn on the phone. Now I'm stuck at the AT&T logo. I finally turned the phone off after 2 hours of that. I can still get to the recovery menu, and still install zip from the sd, but I'm still stuck at the logo.
I've tried Odin, but it hangs at file analysis. Did I mention, I didn't back up anything? Only thing important to me is contacts, and they're backed up through Google.
Any ideas on how I can fix this. Point me to right thread if this is already covered.
Reboot into cwm recovery, Wipe Data/ Factory Reset, then install rom. If it boots afterwards to another cwm recovery, don't reboot the phone, just reinstall the rom from there and u should be good to go.

Still stuck at the at&t logo. According to CWM Recovery, SlimICS was installed. I'm really at a loss. Any other ideas?
Flash a stock, one-click, no bootloader, odin or heimdall package, and try again.
I was able to load stock ICS 4.0.3 Phone booted like normal. I was starting to freak out. Thanks for the help.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy I9000 Does not Boot

I tried to flash CWM10 into my Samsung Galaxy I9000 Device And here's what happened:
I got into the CWM Recovery screen and chose install from sdcard (after a wipe data + wipe cache factory ofcourse).
Everything seem to go OK, no errors or special things, but when I restarted the device to boot into Android OS, it just came back to the CWM Recovery screen.
Since then, I have tried to install many other ROMS and the phone simply won't boot to android OS.
I have also noticed that usually after a successful ROM flash, folders are created in the internal SD card a thing which DID NOT happen this time.
The only difference that the new ROMS installation does is change the CWM Recovery version/Mod.
So basically, I am stuck at CWM Recovery Screen.
I am clueless and I will really appreciate any thing you can.
Any thoughts?

Bell Note 5 (SM-N920W8) not booting after root

Hey, I just tried rooting my Galaxy Note 5 from Bell, model SM-N920W8, and was unable to boot into recovery when using arter's Philz recovery (though odin reported the flash successful). I tried TWRP afterwards which works as a recovery, however afterrwards my OS stopped booting, resulting in a bootloop before the boot animation. even when trying to flash a new ROM (VIPER 1.4) it bootloops and trying to flash Philz through a zip file also breaks recovery. Is there anything I am doing wrong?
Im going to try another rom, but any suggestions or knowledge as to why i can't get CWM or my System to boot.
Edit: Tried the SpaceX kernel and it seems to be working. Guess arter's kernel and recovery just wont play nice.
