Stuck in TWRP

So I was an idiot and tried to install ICS on here. I flashed it through TWRP and did a full wipe of it and NOW it just boots in to recovery and that is it. Does anyone know of a fix or what went wrong with it? I tried restoring my backup and it didn't do anything to fix it.

Anyone know who maintains TWRP for KF? There's no reason it shouldn't be doing this when you tap reboot.

I think it happens when in CM7 you select reboot into recovery. I don't believe it's a TWRP specific thing

Well, yeah. TWRP doesn't do anything with the bootmode, which is misleading behavior when you click "reboot". CWM does this on other platforms where the boot selection isn't a one-shot.

I told agrabren the day he released it in twitter, surprised it never got fixed

Everyone using CM7 on their kindle should just go into settings->interface->power prompt and uncheck it. This disables the selection menu when you pick reboot (so you can't accidentally choose "reboot into recovery").
Then just go into recovery the manual way from firefirefire with your power switch.

[Q]CWR or TWRP?

I just want to know which recovery should I install...I'm new to the pad game and I just wanted some input...I just rooted my N7 and ready to install a recovery...I'm used to CWR on my sgIII...but I see that TWRP is the new recovery that some guys are installing...also is there problem with boring into recovery from the device? Thanks in advanced...

I prefer cwm touch which you can get from the site. Or you can flash the button version from rommanager
Twrp does work tho, but I've read issues with restoring backups.
Booting into recovery on the device in a way is messed up. The button combo method to enter using the bootloader hangs when not connected to a PC, so there are two options on getting into recovery.
A. Connect to a PC and use bootloader
B. With a working OS, reboot to recovery using an app such as rommanager or goomanager
If you ever flash a rom that won't boot, u need to connect to a PC and boot into recovery via bootloader (button combo).

I use TWRP and had successfully restored now a couple of times. Once was a complete device replacement where I restored the TWRP restore files from my workstation.
How I do my backups to ensure I can restore from a total loss.

Ah, I was curious if this bug still existed or not.

I'd go with CWM, quite stable, easy to use, and you can flash the touch recovery, speeds it up.

Thanks, I read somewhere that if you go into system/ and rename recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak, fixes the bootloop...can anyone confirm this... thank in advance

Try it. Bootloader issue still exists regardless.

I'm a TWRP guy all the way. I have never had an issue restoring a backup, and the ability to compress my nandroid is invaluable.

N7 only boots into recovery

Ok so heres the story. Ubuntu released a version of it self for the N7 and I went to try it out. Works ok kinda sluggish, but I digress.
Went back to stock and it went smooth as butter. Now I went to flash CWM and it flashed like it was supposed to. Now for some reason my tablet only boots into recovery no matter what. I tried to press power and vol down to get into the bootloader and it just boots recovery.
I used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4 to flash the image.

It's stuck in cwm?
Can you reach it via adb?
If so enter "adb reboot fastboot"

Tried that and ADB said there was no device attached. So, I reinstalled my drivers and that worked. Managed to get into fast boot and reflashed stock. I manually flashed cwm and that worked no problem. I'm now back on my own version of cm10.

[Q] Need some help please

I have a Nexus 7 wifi, It is stuck at the Google screen boot looping. It is unlocked and has TWRP 2.5 which I can access. I have tried every tool kit to no avail. Need some help please!

dont use a toolkit
get to a command line and figure out whats wrong by trying to flash a factory image, or run factory reset in recovery and see if it fixes it.

I tried factory reset but it fails. I tried to flash a factory image through side load but it fails.
If I go to advanced wipe and do them one at a time they all work except data.
It appears to have nothing on intrenal or external storage.
One other thing is when I try to mount the system in twrp it asks for a password?
I have never setup a password so I don't understand this.
Thanks

Did you encrypt your device?

No, not at all that's what's so strange.
I purchased it new and it started locking up and after an attempted factory reset here we are.

Factory reset would wipe data partition leaving nothing in data. Makes sense that it wouldnt let you wipe that when there is nothing there.
Try flashing a factory image from fast boot. Not from recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Would it not have to be loaded on the device? I tried it with a tool kit and it gets to the end and fails on verification.
I don't remember what version it was so that doesn't help. I think it was 4.1.2
But not positive.

Okay seems to be a problem with twrp 2.5 as far as the password I'm downloading 2.6 now.

Use fastboot to flash new recovery and system partition. You run fastboot commands from your computer not from recovery and your device needs to be in bootloader not recovery. It does not require you to load it onto the device prior

After reading more I decided to go with CWM for the recovery. I flashed it in fast boot and it works fine but what now?
Thanks for your time!

personally i would flash a stock system image in fastboot, root it, and use it....or pick from the hundreds of ROMs available around here.

What would I use to flash the stock image in fast boot? a toolkit? I have the stock img downloaded already.

[Q] Nexus 4 won't boot after flash

Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my Nexus 4
I installed Odyssey ROM (4.3) coming from Illusion (4.2.2) following the usual procedure of wiping etc...
It didn't boot, stuck on the Google logo....
Strange thing is that it stuck when I tried to reinstall Illusion and also when I restored the Backup I made before the install.
What couldve cause this problem and how can I solve it?
Thanks

I don't know the cause but try this:
1.Go to bootloader.
2.Use adb fastboot to flash to stock.
3.profit

Go into recovery:
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot or
- if that`s not enough do a data factory reset and reboot. That should do it.

OK guys.... Slight update... I get it to work but it seems to only boot ROMs after a factory reset..... Even now, Odyssey, PA etc no matter what ROMs I'm on if I reboot it hangs at the Google logo.... Forcing me into another factory reset.

Flash the factory image, so completly stock. Then you can go ahead and start running custom roms again!:highfive:

I'm having this same problem with a friend's Nexus 4, my Nexus 4 I can flash whatever and it boots up no problem. With his it doesn't matter what ROM I flash it will not boot up. I have done the full wipe and installed factory image from Google Dev website at least 5 times and then installed customer recovery and root several times. I'm using the latest CWM touch and it will not boot. Any ideas? Thanks.

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Now boot to new recovery
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
adb sideload gapps.zip
Reboot
May is suggest the latest twrp recovery and latest slimkat and their all in one gapps for this as well
Also be sure you have the latest bootloader and modem
Best of luck
