I had CWM installed on my T-Mo note 3, and I updated it through rom manager. now it is stuck in a boot loop where it says "booting into recovery".
I can get it to boot by going into download mode and cancelling it, but I cannot install any recoveries now. None work.
I installed CWM originally via odin. any idea on what I should do

Did you try installing the last one you had working using odin? Updating through the rom manager presents more problems than updating it manually using odin.

OK, I've had my S4 a couple months. It's already been rooted, with TWRP installed and also MDOB custom ROM. But tonight I decided to replace TWRP recovery with CWM then I was going to flash CM 10.2. after flashing CWM I now have the yellow triangle and a message saying "system software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone" and the phone won't boot nor recovery is working. With no recovery I can't reflash the current ROM i had installed, I have the MDOB file on my memory card ready to reflash, but the phone won't do nothing. What to do now?
Can you get into download mode by pressing home, power, and volume down at the same time while booting up? If so, you could use this guide I've had success with. http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-tutorials/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s4-and-remove-root-completely/

I had a similar issue were I flashed philz recovery and it wasn't the loki'd zip.I to had the triangle of death with unauthorized ATT msg, I tried three times to boot into recovery and the last time I tried it went to (pic posted)and from there I pushed down for restart phone.it booted up like a regular reboot and was OK.
Also after it booted I lost custom recovery, so like I did the first time I achieved recovery I flashed with ROM manager clicking the T-Mobile S4 when prompted. Note : only use ROM manager to flash recovery.now use recovery to flash a auto Loki recovery. Hit thanks if I helped

Good deal .you could've also just used Goo manager for
re installing TWRP or
Rom manager for CWM and then find your Auto loki recovery again

Just rooted my s4 using saferoot, got goomanager to install twrp recovery, installed, didn't do a reboot as it was prompted to (I think it was supposed to reboot anyhow) and said "Recovery has been installed" click the reboot recovery through goo, a couple gapps crash, and reboots into normal recovery, that says error and I'm able to boot my phone up still?
Help?
Did you have goo manager reinstall twrp? If you use goo, there is no reboot required. Try again and report back.

I just rooted and this would be my first time putting twrp on this phone, I rooted past phones but I used Odin so I'm used to flashing things and I was told by a friend who rooted the s4 that with my model (UEMK2) to do the saferoot route and get goo manager to install twrp, so I did that, I have root access I checked with root checker, and when I went to install twrp, it downloaded, said "recovery installed" and I went to check just to make sure by using goo manager's Reboot Recovery option, but instead I got Android normal recovery, it first said "no command" then it says "error" and then I get the normal options for android recovery, I can safely just boot out of it and start my phone though, should I try and flash twrp or?
Yes, try to reflash twrp. I used safe root to reroot after running the MK2 stock tar last week and used goo manager to install twrp with no problems so it does work. Try again.

Hi,
I'm currently running CyanogenMod KitKat version with ClockWorkMod. Since the rom has several bugs and for the past few months they haven't published any updates to my Galaxy s4 I9505, I've decided to switch to WanamLite.
There I found out I need TWRP recovery so I went ahead and downloaded GooManager which installed an outdated version, as I've found out.
I tried wiping my internal storage as recommended but the recovery couldn't mount any of my partitions.
So now CyanogenMod won't boot. I know this issue is fixed in the updated version of TWRP but I'm not sure how to update it without the phone booting (Odin perhaps? It doesn't recognize it currently... Should I move to download mode for it to be detected?)
Anyways, I'm kind of stuck as of now. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Btw I have a question, what's the difference between using Odin 1.85 and 3.09? Why do people still use the old version?
Thanks in advance!!

Edit:
Alright, now I can't get into recovery either. When I try, I can see the Samsung logo and there's "recovery" written in the top left but then it just restarts again into the same logo without "recovery". I'm starting to lose my cool now. Anyone have any ideas?
Try flashing latest stock through download mode and see if it boots.

Flash this recovery through odin. It's TWRP 2.6.3.1. Worked alwys for me.:fingers-crossed:
https://db.tt/SwLvOrZl
Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin.
Thank guys
I got freaked out and just did everything I could to make the phone working again.
I found a thread on XDA explaining how to return your phone to stock version, so I followed it, rooted with auto root, (btw Odin didn't recognize my phone because I used the front usb... how annoying!), then flashed the latest TWRP (2.7.0.1, not 2.6.x.x as GooManager downloaded for me), then booted to recovery and flashed WanamLite.
Everything is working now!
Except one thing - I'm still not able to access recovery mode through physical buttons, only using boot apps. Is this a kernel issue?
Could be some incompatibility since CyanogenMod uses it's own kernel and CWM recovery.
The recovery itself is working fine, but when I try to access it using buttons it shows the Samsung logo with the recovery on the top left, and then reboots again to normal boot.
What do you think?
Thanks!
So I have installed the 6.0 CWRecovery in my Note 3 (hlr) in order to install the newest CWM12(7.8), I managed to install the CWRecovery touch 6.0 using the app known as Flashfy, it worked fine and so I managed to install CM mod 12 (I have some problem with the stock Music app, which crashes all the time). I saw a new update (8.1) and I wanted to update it again, but the boot does not load the recovery mod and thus, it just keep on a recovery boot loop. The only way to get out of such loop is to load the download mode, and then it boots the CW12. I have tried reinstalling the recovery mode using the flashfy and rom manager, but it does not work at all, even when using the said programs to flash the ROM itself. What should I do? Thanks!

Try downloading the TWRP...tar file for your phone (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 - click top right for your phone) and flash it using Odin - it will give you TWRP Recovery.
Also go to Chainfire's site and get SuperSU.zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip) so you can flash it in Recovery.
I flash the ROM, then GApps (I use PA version) then SuperSU in one flash session, then I Restore my Data partition from my nandroid backup and always good to go after that.
