Other than it breaks a bunch of your applications when Vzw pushes it, so you have to root your phone to fix it?

I was in the same boat. I was able to get out of it by flashing the other recovery (not the most recent recovery flashed) with the auto reboot box unchecked. I had flashed CWM, so I flashed TWRP with auto reboot unchecked and was able to boot into recovery. I pulled the battery and flashed my preferred CWM with reboot unchecked. I could then enter CWM Recovery and install the root file from my sd card. Triangle Away cleared the custom binary count. I am rooted.

I am in the same boat. Have positive custom counter, no root, no recovery, does not help to repeat the process with reboot unchecked. Factory reset did not help I posted on droid modder x page. I can think of riskier options to try, but the phone is still runnung JB and do not want to end up stuck with ICS indefinitely. I’ll be checking both forums hoping we can both get some good advice on how to proceed. Have rooted scores of times on multiple devices and this is the toughest one from which to find a way out.

If I made the mistake not to uncheck reboot after flashing clockwork in odin and now can’t boot into recovery, what can I do to get into recovery? I’ve tried to flash the clockwork again, but that didn’t help.

Any major difference between the OTA JB update and VRBLK3?

Should have used these modded OTA updates that prevent you from losing root, among other things.

SMH, yeah, it’s so much easier because it’s the exact same method.
