The method as you tryed is stock recovery, if you try to enter CWM recovery
after rooted, you must install Defy system recovery
- put system recovery.apk into SD card
- enable(Turn on) Unknown sources and USB debugging in Application settings
- install system recovery.apk from SD card (Use File manager or Root Explorer)
- Open System recovery App and Select Install Recovery system, it will show "Install success"
- Before reboot (Recovery reboot), you must Turn off "USB debugging"
Otherwise, defy will stuck in black screen
OK, If you want to reboot to CWM recovery mode, you can open System recovery App and Select Recovery boot
or Try that

What I always do when I flash something and it goes wrong is enter bootloader mode and flash a new sbf. I'm fairily sure to do that you hold power and volume up while booting.

I mistakenly rebooted after wiping cache,dalvik cache and sytem. Now I'm stuck at the moto logo. Is there any way to enter into custom recovery other than the flashing method you specified above?? I was using SlimBean(Slim-4.3.build.2-UNOFFICIAL-2013027-1124) with TWRP v2.6.3.0.

Hi, there are several ways to boot in recovery, i use two:
1-with s7 connected to pc execute "adb reboot recovey"
2-with s7 powered off, click "menu + call (green button) + power" for 30 seconds, or until the cwm menu apear.
There is several version of cwm for the s7-10x, depends in version of installed firmware, the more recent one that works best is version 6.1.2 by ere, google is your best friend to find it, if not tell me and i will upload the file.
Hope it helps,

Thanks, now I am able to boot in recovery mode......I did copied cyanogenmod 9 "cm-9-20120913-EXPERIMENTAL-s7-asturel.zip", but my screen is stuck on IDEOS logo..I waited for 30 mins or so, but still on the same logo...so I had to restore from backup...any thoughts on this...plz help...:cyclops:
Hi, i havent try cm9 by asturel, you can try flash it again, the problem is that cm9 and cm10 needs special kernel to boot, diferent then the stock kernel.
if the device does not boot in 10 minutes some thing wrong happended, you can try flash the kernel first and then the roms, inside the zip file there is a file "boot.img" thats the kernel, steps :
1-backup the working rom , always a good ideia :good:
2-boot in fast mode "vol up+home+power", fastboot mode apear on screen
3-connect s7 to pc, execute "fastboot flash boot boot.img", the boot.img file must be on same directory as fastboot
4-to reboot execute "fastboot reboot"
5-menu+call+power go to cwm install zip file, install the rom
If doest work, try other rom, there is several model of s7-10x, not all rom are compatible

Hey the same thing is happening to me as I am using my Nexus 5. Can you please show me how to do what you did to find this. I cannot boot into recovery. When I try installing TWRP from GooManager it just says it will download but it never does and then after a while the app shuts down. I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom Manager and it downloads all the way and than says that a problem occured. Can somebody please help me with my situation. When I press the power button and the volume down button and it brings me to the bootloader and i navigate to recovery, it just brings an android guy with a red triangle. please help me. I just want a custom recovery. I don't care what it is. Either TWRP or clockwork mod.

Hello forum peoples. Recently I have tried to flashthe paranoid android firmware using flasherfy. I have twrp installed but idk if I was supposed to do with it. My phone is now in a boot loop because of my attempted flash. Please help me fix this. I am able to boot into both firmware update mode and factory reset mode. For the factory reset mode I am able to boot into the reset mode but as soon as I try to wipe it just reboots again. I have tried to use the lg firmware update tool using com5 and com41 and using both they stop at 49% and the phone just disconnects from the program/computer. Help Please! !

For stock recovery, yes you'll see that screen. On that screen all you have to do is press power button and then press volume up (just one quick press) and it will take you into recovery menu.

every time I try flashing with odin ( 3.09 / 3.07 ), odin resets my device after 2 seconds saying PASS, but when i go to recovery , it is still appears to be official samsung recovery. doesnt matter if i flashed the latest CWM or TWRP....
when i try installing CWM from zip file over the external SD card. it starts to install the recovery, and then suddenly i get the following messege : "footer is wrong signature verification failed" . and it reboots the phone and nothing has changed...
I had installed CWM recovery in the past with some roms, but this entire hell trip started after i install new hong kong official NBD4 rom...
the only thing i can do right now, is flash original verified samsung roms from sammobile website...
any idea what could be causing this / a solution... ?
thanks in advance..

This is not the first time i root an android device but it is the first time im doing it on an S5, nonetheless I am pretty much stuck right now.
I tried to install CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar using Odin from here, it installed with no problems, but when the phone restarted I get:
RECOVERY BOOTING
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
and then it shuts down.
I tried to enter recovery mode by doing power+vol up+menu but nothing happens ?
Can anyone help ?
EDIT: ok, so I did manage to get it running again by flashing openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-gt-klte. This got me past the "Recovery is not seandroid...", but all in all I still didn't manage to get root access...
I passed through a similar situation , all u have to do once u've got the recovery is get the SuperSU flashable zip and flash it and ur done
Here is a direct link : https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1
This happened to me also. I am running XXU1BOJ1 . I flashed twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img and even though it solved getting stuck at recovery, my phone still boots into the standard recovery instead of TWRP when pressing VOLUP+Home+Power. Anyone got ideas?

I can't seem to get the coustom recovery installed, and after some digging i found this :
manubhargav said:
Actually the problem was that custom recovery(twrp here) was not installed at all, that above mentioned error occurs when you try to install SuperSU.zip from stock recovery<3e>.
This happens because when you flash custom recovery from Odin and allow it to reboot on its own, Samsung's recovery checking script checks if a custom recovery is present and overrides.
To bypass that check you need to take your battery out as soon as the recovery is flashed by Odin ( and before the phone reboots).
As soon as the Odin says PASS you should be ready to take out the battery which will stop it from rebooting,
put back the battery and enter recovery mode directly by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S5 screen flickers and the main screen of Recovery mode appears.
This will avoid script checking and will let you to custom recovery directly,there you can install SuperSU or any other zip.

Maybe your phone is not recognized in Download Mode as corresponding drivers may not be properly installed. So Computer is not able to recognize the phone when in Downlaod mode. Install SM Bus Controllers drivers from Intel from Official driver source.
After setting-up you'll be able to flash TWRP and boot into recovery mode.

Ah, So the problem you're facing is NOT getting into recovery mode
There are 2 ways to solve the problem, (1st -> flashing recovery.tar again, 2nd-> flashing stock firmware)
First method:
Enter "Download Mode" by holding down "Volume Down"+ "Home" + "Power" button.
Flash recovery.img again and check if it boots into recovery this time.
Sometimes this may not work and you may need to try flashing firmware
Second method:
Download Firmware from here
Open odin in your PC
Enter "Download mode"
Connect the device to PC using USB
Flash the PDA, BL, AP, CSC etc.
Alternatively, You can flash the firmware using SmartSwitch

Oh but it is! That's exactly my problem. Look, here are the 3 outcomes I get regarding the whole recovery menu thing:
Go into the default recovery menu - cant install SuperSU but at least it works.
Install twrp and remove the battery after it finishes transfering and wants to restart, at which point when I go into recovery I get the above error (Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE.)
Install twrp and let it restart by itself and after it is done, go into recovery only to find it is back to the default one.

Which Kernel version are you in? Which TWRP version did you try? Install other custom recoveries? On locked bootloader?
Ok, I tried CWM and nothing changed, i get the default recovery menu...
Doing the shut down before it restarts gets me "recovery is not seandorid enforcing"

Turn OFF Auto-Reboot option in ODIN and flash the recovery.tar and remove battery and directly boot into recovery mode.
Go into a working custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SuperSU.zip from the recovery and reboot with ("Fix permissions" if there is such an option, otherwise simply reboot).

First of all holy **** what an answer... let's SLOW DOWN a bit first, shall we ?
Secondly you lost me from step 1, I don't want CyanogenMod, I want the default Samsung 5.0 with TouchWiz (contrary to popular belief I actually like it).
Also I would really like to know (from someone that actually knows why this happens) why is it reverting to default recovery and how can I stop it from doing so ? manubhargav had an interesting idea, but sadly it doesn't work for everyone (as someone else mentioned on that other post)
So I'm guessing no one knows the answer to my problem considering almost a moth has passed...
I know that in kitkat the answer was to turn off / disable 'Reactivation Lock' (located under settings>>security and unchecking the box)........
I had heard that Samsung had removed that option in lollipop, but it might be worth checking......it has/had to be disabled BEFORE attempting to flash anything......
