same happens with my i9505

You're on stock recovery... You need to flash a new recovery, CWM or TWRP to fix this....

I have tried cwm and twrp both using odin. Odin says PASSED as well but when I reboot in recovery mode it starts the stock recovery again. Any alternative way to install cwm or twrp recoveries? Thanx

If you have CWM , go to wipe data/factroy reset, wipe cache & dalvik & reboot.
Tried that samething happens. I hear boot sound but screen is black. I can flask recovery through Odin but won't let me flash any firmware.

try to flash back ICS rom, if not search far a 3 parts rom to flash it through odin PDA, PHONE & CSC .
What I don't get is that I can't flash stock roms through Odin but everything else can be flashed stock recovery, custom recovery, stock kernel just not stock roms very strange.

Had the same problem over the past 24hrs
(I have a GT-N8013 with stock ICS firmware root injected installed, when I went to check if a JB update had come out it didn't recognize the stock root injected firmware as stock and proceeded to try and install ICS without root through TWRP and continued to loop through recovery and installation.. unsuccessfully)
I am now posting this from the GT-N8013 so here's how to do it:
1) Use ODIN to flash CWM (Google them if you don't know what they are. I am new and cant post links yet)
2) Boot Your Note 10.1 into recovery by holding down Volume Up and Power, wait until the samsung logo shows up twice, then release the power button and you should end up in recovery.
3) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4) Clear Cache
5) Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Repeat Steps 3-5 twice (three times total)
6) Reboot and voila! You are back to your original rom all nice and neat.
Tried that as well no go still goes to black screen after the screen that says Samsung galaxy note 10.1. I hear boot sound but Samsung doesn't show up just blank screen.

Problem while flashing CWM recovery. Plzz help

I was trying to install CWM for Galaxy Y(via .zip) which was successful but whenever I boots into recovery mode it boots to stock recovery rather than CWM. I have tried installing two CWM .zip files but both show same result.
P.S Can I flash Galaxy Gio's CWM on Galaxy Y?

why are you repeating the question it is already answered in your last post
anyways there are two types of cwm
temporary cwm - you have to flash it from stock recovery to get cwm ( the one you are using now)
permenant cwm - which replaces stock recovery
to get a permanent cwm you have to install a kernel which has an integrated cwm with it
Use only Galaxy y's CWM
ClockWorkMod Recovery is temperory if you flash it via stock.
Permanent CWM comes with the kernel. So flash a kernel that has CWM replacing stock recovery.
DONT FLASH CWM THAT WAS NOT MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE.
Dont use CWM of Galaxy Gio.
P.S. Dont repeat questions and spam the forum.

Why can't I boot into custom recovery?

I'm running CM 10.2 and every time I try and boot into recovery, it boots into stock recovery instead of CWM. I've tried booting into it using the menu when you hold the power button and then I've tried holding power+volume down on restart and every time it just goes stock.
Any help/opinions are much appreciated.

Turn off your device, hold all three buttons until you see a menu pop up. Select Recovery and you should get CWM.

Every time I go into recovery, it sends me to the Android with the exclamation point, then I get to stock recovery. Even with the three button.
Looks like you need to flash your recovery again

Yep, and after flash is complete, power-off your phone and boot straight into recovery. There's an install script that needs to complete. If you don't boot straight into CWM, stock recovery will override CWM.
I didn't do that last time, that must be why I can't get there now. Thanks for the heads up!

Well I ran into the same problem where I just get dead Andy. I flashed TWRP from fastboot but for the life of me can't remember how to boot into recovery from there.
Edit
I literally looked for over an hour about how to get into recovery before I posted. Well I found the answer almost immediately after posting, power/Vol+.
So I flashed my recovery again through fastboot, powered up using power/Vol + but still can't get into recovery.
Are you on stock ROM? You may have to remove or rename the recovery install file install-recovery.sh after flashing TWRP... Located in system>etc on stock

Thanks anyway, but after trying to flash with Flashify and that not working I tried an app called recovery tools that fixed my issue.

You could have just installed Rom Manager & flashed the Photon Q recovery then flashed Philz or the latest twrp they are in my goodies.
Oh... I always fast boot the recovery...

[Q] No Recovery after Bootloader Unlock?(!)

ok so i used TowelRoot to root the phone, then the Motopacolypse apk to unlock bootloader. Root is fine, and iget the "unlocked bootloader warning" screen everytime i turn on my phone. next step would be to install recovery so i can flash ROMs right? downloaded ROM manager, dled and installed CWM, but i cant restart into recovery. i used ROM Managers option, and i just a normal boot. I try holding down the power + volume down button, and i still get a normal boot. any clue on whats going on?
Give holding power and both + - volume controls all at once to boot into the boot loader. From there press - to select recovery option and press + to go into recovery. That should get you there if the recovery indeed flashed.

nice one! im still getting a normal boot, how do i install custom recovery?
The recovery you flashed isn't compatible with the M more the likely... Try these ...twrp for KitKat second from the bottom.... Try flashing the recovery with rashr ... Give me a second I'll find CWM

TWR is the only one that (finally) worked for me. THANKS
TWRP and CWM are not official for this phone, that's why you can't load them up through ROM Manager. Either way, nice to see you have it working now.
i just flashed TWRP successfully using Flashify (plya store) and TWRP 2710 for razrM from Dhacker.
total time to download install and flash - about 2 minutes
