I just flashed CM 12 beta on my i9500 (proper flash) but I found some bugs and lags hence I decided to reflash it when I found out I couldn't reboot into recovery mode. The device just restarts. I tried the 3 button combo, rebooting through recovery mode through the phone, even downloaded ROM Manager and tried booting into recovery but didn't help. How can I get my recovery back again? Is it because I used CWM instead of TWRP? I was using CWM v6.0.4.1 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
It seems your recovery is broken. Try reflashing recovery by Odin Mode.

try rebooting and just hold volume up.

Hi there,
I wanted to install latest CM10.1 coming from 0526 yesterday on my Defy+.
Did a backup with TWRP first.
Then the flashing failed, so I wanted to recover from backup.
Phone now is stuck at Motorola M not booting anymore.
When I enter bootloader (vol down) and want to enter "custom recover" he just jumps back to the same menu. TWRP is not starting.
Choosing "stock recovery" is possible, but if I choose a CM10.1 zip file it's not accepted.
RSD Lite does not recognize the phone when it's in the bootloader menu or in the stock recover menu.
Help is very much appreciated, what can I do?
Thanks and best regards.

Okay, I found out why I couldn't enter flash mode by using Vol+ when starting.
The phone powered already up when I put in the battery, so I always pushed Vol+ too late.
Pressing Vol+ WHILE inserting the battery did the trick, phone went into flash mode and I could re-flash 2.3.6 sbf using RSD lite.

Still not sure why TWRP was messed up just by recovering from a TWRP-made backup...
Best regards
Same situation to me.
I opened Terminal Emulator, gained root access
then type below command to get recovery mode
# reboot recovery
Custom recovery not running
I have a similar issue.
I rooted my stock S4 and installed the proper TWRP.
Heres where my situation is a bit different from anything I have seen on the forum threads. All attempts—both hard and soft—to reboot into recovery, all direct the reboot to Odin Mode. Just to clarify I have not flashed any rom custom or stock, the only thing I have flashed has been TWRP and CWM recovery. And I only flashed CWM AFTER the Failings of TWRP.
When I attempt to boot into recovery, it flashes the blue characters then sends me into a Odin Mode loop until I hard-key the "download mode" and select restart to boot the os normally.
my phone works fine other than not being able to flash custom roms, which is a pain in the arse especially with all the s4 Bloatware.
Here's what I have done so far to help myself:
• install CWM recovery
• tried hard-key reboot recovery (power off/ press home/volume up/power)
• soft reboot recovery through both Goo, CWM and ROM Toolbox pro
• removed my sd card and tried reboot recovery
• removed battery and reboot recovery
• emulator reboot recovery
• reboot recovery both with and without usb cable
I looked into flashing stock with Odin but all tutorials i could find were of an older version and I didnt want to guess what I needed to get that to work,
Please let me know if theres anything I can do.

After flashing some ROM, I am having trouble because the phone is stuck in Samsung Galaxy IV logo.
First couple times I was able to boot to twrp and do a format, wipe, flash, then davik wipe. The problem is that I was able to restart and set up and update etc but if i restart the phone, it would stuck at boot logo.
So I flashed it again and installed GooManager and installed twrp again, tried to restart and it would just stuck at Samsung boot logo, I can't even get into recovery mode.
I tried using Odin and flash cwm but it would not boot into recovery mode.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'll try to flash it with stock ROM with ODIN going into download mode, but somehow I don't think that will work.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do
Boot to download mode (volume down+ home during boot) and Odin to stock MDJ firmware would be my suggestion. Give it a boot and then factory reset. If hangs on first boot, go into recovery (volume up+ home during boot) and factory reset via recovery. After phone boots install triangle away, reset counter, and then do the OTA update.
Finally got around to updating to the MG1 firmware last night and found that Odin directly to MG1 did not update the modem (baseband) and also left me with no Wi-Fi. The above steps applied the new modem and did not cause any Wi-Fi issues.
After update, to root just use the CF auto root for Canadian models with Odin then goo manager for custom recovery (twrp).

hello
Some time ago I could use key combnations to boot into stock recovery mode Then I installed thf cwm and I managed to boot into cwm.
But when I updated my phone to JB 4.1.2 by means of KDZ it became impossible to boot into recovery mode.
I tried all the possible key combinations but in vain. Each combination leads me to hard reset.
I wish to install a custom rom but since booting in recovery mode is impossible, I wonder if there is a way to boot in recovery mode without key combination or another way to install a custom rom without booting in recovery mode?
Thank you for the help

Hi guys
I have a big problem with my note 3 hlte that i have never heard off... I run cyanogenmod 12 and i noticed when i flashed it that cwm recovery went back to stock recovery so i used app called Flashify and i "flashed" cwm that flashfy offerd me.
Afther that it offerd me to reboot into recovery witch i selected and now my phone is stuck in recovery boot loop....
It doesnt want to boot into recovery and i cant boot it normaly or download mode because its stuck in loop..
i tried removeing battery, draining power, leaving it for some time but every time when i return the battery and try to turn it on, its stuck..
very hard to explain, if you want i can record and upload it
(i would usualy flash a cwm via odin but i was to lazy to turn on my pc )
sorry for some gramatical mistakes
found solution
Volume down + home and pluging in usb automaticly boots into download mode
Find the correct cwn/twrp for your phone model & bootloader(4.3/4.4). Flash with odin.
The recovery corrupted, no big deal.

I just installed cwm recovery on my note 3 that had stock root android 5.0. I used recovery tools from the app store and selected reboot into recovery after it flashed it. Now all it does is try to reboot into recovery fails and restarts the process over again.
I can't get into download mode and removing the battery does not help.
Any ideas?
Shouldn't be that severe. Are you sure you're pressing the right buttons to get into download mode?
