Ok so I searched and can't find anyone with this same problem. I was trying to update from an older version of cwm to cwm touch. It says it flashed succesfully ect ect. When I boot into recovery though I get what looks like some white staticky lines and the tablet continually vibrates and its seems stuck on that. I am able to power down and get into current rom though. But obviously unable to flash a new rom. What gives? I also tried flashing to twrp with gapps but that didn't work for me either.

No problem, I moved it
One of things offhand with your issue.
Which bootloader are you using? It sounds like you are on the old HC bootloader. This might explain your issue.
Which version CWM did you have before?
MD
Thanks for taking care of that for me.
I'm not a total noob, but I'm not exactly sure which bootloader I used. If your able to tell me how to check I could do that.
Sadly, I can't remember which cwm version I was using. It was awhile back so I have no clue. Sorry I'm not much of a help to you or myself. If I had to take a wild guess, I think it was in the early 5's.

Ahh! Found it. Bootloader v3.01

Like I said earlier, I was still able to get my current rom running. I opened up acer recovery and installed twrp with no problem and I am currently flashing a different rom. I will check back in a little bit and let you know how it goes.

meh...Ok so I got twrp installed. I wipe and wipe and wipe ans then flash rom. It says it was successfully installed. When I tap reboot I get a black screen that says acer in the center, but nothing seems to be happening. I'm assuming this is what people are referring to when the say its stuck on boot screen. I have no clue how to fix it.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, 3.01 bootloader.
The problem is, you need to be on the ICS V8 bootloader. Those roms and recent CWM's need the ICS version bootloader.
I guess I shouldnt ask if you have your UID number? Cause you will need it. If you did some CWM's, it may be in the recovery files. If not, it's going to be a pain.
Try wiping again in TWRP, only this time, install a HC based rom.

How do o go about finding the UID number in the recovery files?

Well, this will depend on which version of CWM you were using when you did backups.
Recoveries are kept on EXT SD, usually for example in the Clockwork folder. But, it depends which version created what. More newer versions create a UID.txt file. But it just depends on if you did any backups with some of the newer versions.
If you don't see the txt file, well, it's not good. All is not lost though.
It's possible you can install one of the ICS updates from within TWRP, if TWRP you have is able to install them.
That's why I asked if you were able to install a HC based rom.
You also may want to try finding one of the older versions of CWM, and try installing it through TWRP.
I downloaded an HC rom and placed it on root of sd. When I boat onto twrp I don't see the zip file. Not quite sure why though

Flash the v8 bootloader if u want a jb rom. Civato has a sticky in the dev forum you'll need and check the guides in my sign if u need more info how to go about it. The v8 will also flash a custom recovery at the same time....and have yr jb rom on yr sdcard ready to flash

You should probably take a look around. It's a few touches away.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Have you tried installing one using your phone?
There is custom recoveries available. go to the Android Development forum and go to Shabbypenguins OUHDS recovery thread, and it provides excellent instructions on installing the recovery and then on installing root on it. Then your ready to go to flash roms. Right now Unknownforce's Force Rom is the only TW rom, and Slim bean is the only AOSP rom in beta - though alpha builds for CM, PA, and AOKP are currently being worked on by a great dev and should be up and running soon enough!
EDIT: CM is actually in Beta as well at the moment!
And personally I have never had a mac, nor nothing anything about the limitations of using a mac using these methods, so you should definitely look into it if it is different at all.

If you want a recovery without a computer. Download Goo manager from the play store. This will give you twrp recovery.

TWRP has a few issues with it still that they are trying to work out. Primarily some touch sensitivity problems. I recommend going with OUDHS until they get worked out.
I will also be switching to TWRP as well once it's quirk free!

thanks all for the information. i was hoping cwm or twrp were stable and good to go but i will try these out until i can get a stable one. hopefully more s5 roms will be coming soon.
How did you unroot? I rooted my SG4 and want to go back to stock, ( haven't installed a rom yet) because I am giving the phone to my husband to use and I want it back to factory so he can use it the way he wants without having any issues because it is rooted If you could help I sure would appreciate it!

As you can see my dates are a bit off. Ive done some searching and found others who have had the same issue. No definite solutions or explanations have been provided. This is super frustrating. Not sure why its happening or how to fix it. Im running the latest twrp, before that I was running cwm with the same results. I just did a backup about an hour ago and i couldnt tell you which one it is. Any help would be much appreciated.
Idk it was like this on the sprint gs3 also with twrp. So I just name the backups myself with the date I backed up.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
The TWRP source is messed up and no one cares to dig in and fix it. Just manually name your backups.
I'm using philztouch and have not noticed the problem. Also a cool feature of that recovery is that it says what rom it is in the title, so even if the date happens to be off, the file name will give away what backup it is.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
That has been an issue for over a year I believe. All CWM and TWRP versions that I am aware of have it. One of the Android updates broke the date function from what I recall. Might have been Jellybean. Since you can just rename the backups to whatever you want I guess the priority is at the very bottom of the list.

Try Dream TWRP I installed it and my BU dates have been correct.
Yeah. Some have said there's a setting that you can change to fix that. I've yet to find it.
Has anyone been able to successfully flash OctOS with CWM? I know in the thread they say they only support TWRP but I would really prefer not to switch to that recovery if possible. I've tried 4 seperate times now and every time it doesn't even make it to the boot animation, it just hangs at the galaxy s4 screen and I eventually have to reboot and restore. And yes, I give it enough time, I let it sit on that screen for about 20 mins before I reboot and try again.

I have flashed OctOS numerous times with CWM. what version of OctOS? I am using 10/22 currently because of issues with the 10/31. Did you check the MD5 hash? Might be a bad download. I hope you can get it running. You will not be disappointed, it really is the best AOSP going right now. Good luck!
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Interesting, I was trying the 10/31 build, I'll go dl the 10/22 build now and give it a shot. And yes, I checked the md5's and they were correct, that was one of the first things I did. Thanks for the suggestion, I hope it works, really wanna check out this ROM.
edit: Also, what cwm are you using? Touch or regular?
I was using regular 6.0.3.0 I think. I am trying TWRP right now since I took the plunge to MJA. I am thinking about going back to CWM probably the touch version. It really turned me off to TWRP when the first backup I made with it failed to restore. I have never had backup/restore issues with CWM.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Yea that's why I don't really wanna use TWRP if I don't have too, I've heard of people having issues with it and I've never had problems with CWM, been using it for a long time now. I'm also thinking about upgrading to CWM Touch, but for now, the dl just finished so I'm gonna try flashing the 10/22 version. Here goes nothing!

Why do you want to remove it? Do you want to flash CWM? If so you can flash CWM over the top using Flashify.
The main reason would be to receive an update from LG like when the release the 4.4 builds.

I used flashify to make a backup of the stock recovery and then flashed TWRP. If you haven't already flashed TWRP look into making a backup of stock.
However, though those of use rooted LG G2 users may not be able to update over the air, we should be able to use our computers and USB connection to manually install the 4.4 release at some point after the 4.4 update goes live. I'm new to LG - long time Galaxy owner - so maybe I'm wrong about that and someone with more LG experience can correct me.
I haven't had an LG phone before either, so I don't know. Can someone who has had an LG phone before please enlighten me/us as to how you would go about applying LG updates when you have a custom recovery? That's where this question really came from.

If you did flash a kernel with that name, it would explain your boot problems.
Flash one for the Sprint S4 and all will be good.

Any of the appropriate kernels from the original development section will get you up and running. You'll just have to pick one for whatever rom you were one (4.3, 4.4, tw, aosp, etc)
