Help needed
[edit]
I guess the recovery was not matching the phone... I have a I9300 and this is Verozon forum, so maybe this was the problem.
I installed PhilZ and CM10.1 today without problem. Thanks anyway!

Hello!
today I got a new SGS3, coming from a Motorola Milestone 1
.
Of course with a very good experience runnign CM10.1 on my Milestone I wanted to flash it on the SGS3 as well.
To do so, I need CWM first, so this is why I came here. I did install Samsung USB drivers and was first trying ODIN, and so I downloaded CWM with touch, flashed using ODIN (without checked "auto reboot") and PDA = ODINRecovery.tar.md5. it looks like the flashing succedes.
BUT: I can't boot into recovery! Doing the hold-down-key-thing. I always loop the Samsung logo. Apparently the hard reboot is also Vol+ Power?!?
If I boot up the stock rom, maybe the recovery gets overwritten, but an "adb reboot recovery" locks the phone at samsung logo AND even prevents it to boot up normally, equally stuck at samsung logo.
The only way back is to flash stock firmware with ODIN...
What am I doing wrong??
