Unable to boot into CWM Recovery

Hi guys, i was trying to delete the cwm backups to free up some space, so I deleted the the folders into clockworkmod. And now i can on longer boot into CWM recovery. It will go to the Google boot screen and stuck in there. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You have to access recovery through ADB or the reboot option on your custom Rom.
It's a known bug when trying to access it through the bootloader.
Tapatalk made me send this.

isnt the toolkit meant to do this for the user? i read it said u can do this using the toolkit, also how do i do this once in root explorer?

Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on certain Stock Android Builds that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot.
OR you can use the ToolKit to rename the files.

Mount storage from what if you don't mind me asking? How bout jut downloading ROM straight to phone?

Learn how to use adb to push file into your phone the custom recovery for the lg g2 wont mount. Install adb into the computer and tell adb to flah or push the .zip file into the phone to learn how? see how to use adb in youtube or google it. Or just go back to stock with lg g2 tool until you learn how to use adb you don't flah anything to the phone till you know how to fix it and adb is most of the time your fixing tool.

Its in general forum bud....if you want a custom rom since your rooted and have custom recovery just follow steps carefully, true adb is useful but you don't have to go back to stock......never answered where your ROM is? PC? USB stick? I'm trying to help you!

Well im stuck in TWRP right now
If I try to boot, nothing happens and I get stuck at the LG logo. I also don't have any backups, so that is why I am trying to place a ROM in there so can flash it and get back into the phone. I accidentally wiped everything in the SD, so no roms or anything

Did you try the ota update and got stuck?.....but for your case follow the back to stock thread in general forum and download he right files for your carrier....if you did wipe your internal storage....which BTW you should never do but system data cage and davlik are all OK....let me know if you need a link I'll post if needed

I think what happened was I tried a factory reset and I didn't realize that it would wipe all of the my backups and rom files
and I tried to flash a new rom(without knowing of this), wiped the current rom, and when I tried to flash the new one after wiping my only one, I had nothing to flash

Also Google adb sideload if you want to...this is how you push a ROM to TWRP.....you don't need to know adb commands since it doesn't use normal commands....you will need to have adb installed form android sdk onto your computer and set enviromentals so your computer understands commands

If you have adb setup on your computer and have a rom on there just do this.....very simple....this is adb sideload....if you want stock follow the thread above..
On your pc go to your toolkit directory
Find the folder that has adb.exe in it
Copy your new Rom to this directory and rename it rom.zip (for simplicity)
Hold shift and right click on a blank bit of the folder
In the pop-up menu there should now be an option saying "open command prompt here" or something similar.
Boot your phone into twrp and plug it into your pc
On your pc's new command prompt screen type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Once it has completed you can install the rom as normal on your phone

After you installed adb on your comp did you set enviromentals so your comp knows adb commands? Looks like his but asking
Also try adb sideload ROM.zip

Look for environment variables......should be in properties

You'd have to be on the latest bootloader and maybe radio, then you can wipe data and system and do the above, you can't dirty flash N over M

Try this when in safe mode: power off, reboot to recovery flash su and reboot system
Alternatively(once in recovery from safe mode)
1. Flash boot.img, reboot system then go back and flash su
Or
2. Make nandroid of data, clean flash and restore from tibu/nandroid option

i don't use adaway, i manually push a modified hosts file into system/etc, that works and
tibu seems to restore only data(even with a clean flash), so i install the apk from tibu backup folder and then restore data from tibu

flash directly from Android Developers using adb command.
However, it has been 20 minus and I am still looking at the "Google" sign. Should I try to re-flash it over or keep waiting?
PS. it took me 40 minus+ to wipe data and cache....

Titanium Backup will work once you set SELinux to permissive. I did so by using the following zips:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66371718&postcount=7

Anyone having issues with Bluetooth connectivity? I'll be listening to much over Bluetooth and the connection will drop. A few seconds later it will reconnect and continue on.
When it does this, the Bluetooth icon also disappears from the status bar.
Happens in my car (aftermarket Kenwood) and with my insignia Bluetooth speaker.

Wanting to root my phone. first phone ive ever rooted but I read a lot n know the dos n donts. But I cant seem to get it to work. I keep reading once you start the root with odin its supposed to have a red anroid icon on your phone. but instead it just stays at the blue downloading screen. and it always gets stuck at recovery.img I was hoping someone could help me root it, or find a guide for my phone. I would really appreciate it. My phone model is SM-G903W, Provider is Telus, its updated to Android 7.0.

Have you managed to root your device?

Ok. I've asked the forum in another thread but no one has replied. I don't understand. We can't be the only two people who own this phone, running 7.0, who want to root the device...

I'd guess it would be the following for g903w s5 neo lte
https://dl.twrp.me/s5neolte/twrp-3.2.3-0-s5neolte.img.tar.html
Put in AP section of odin
As soon as the device restarts hold power button Vol up & home button to enter recovery
If you miss the moment to enter recovery for the first time after flashing & your phone boots you will have to reflash the image until you enter twrp for the first time

I managed to get TWRP installed. I tried to install Lineage 15.1 as per this site:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums...-for-galaxy-s5-neo-android-8-1-oreo-download/
and am now stuck in a loop. It installed successfully with no errors but will stay stuck on the Lineage loading screen then revert back to recovery.
Any ideas what may be causing this? Should I install 14.1?

Correct process for flash rom
In twrp
Goto wipe
Advanced wipe
Wipe system data cache delvik/art cache
Install
Select rom zip
Install
Select gapps zip - use mind the gapps arm for lineage os 15. 1 http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
Optional install
Select root zip (use magisk)
Wipe delvik/art cache
Restart
If you didn't follow the above that's why it would bootloop

Hi, I'm wanting to root my s5 neo on 7.0 and like you, I'm also and finding it very difficult to find a guide that has a successful ending
I'm new to all this but I did notice that you tried to install lineage 15.1 for sm-g903F but your device is sm-g903w. Could that be your problem?
Have you successfully rooted your device yet?
To be honest I don't really want root, I just want to extract or atleast view all my saved wifi network passwords from the device.
