I tried to change the DPI, now I'm on boot loop. I have no backup. I have TWRP recovery, but trying to side load a new ROM via abd says "* cannot read 'sideload' *". I've tried to use the file explorer in TWRP to fine build.prop to edit it manually but that's not working either..
What can I do? Thank you so much!

As a last resort you could always back up your data and flash stock/whatever rom you want on your phone then restore the data.
wipe and flash a new ROM or the same one again.

Reflash your ROM & it will resore the default build.prop. I've never messed with the sideload option in TWRP but if you're booted into TWRP you should have adb access (no sideload function needed)

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.

Hi,
This all started off when i tried to use a SoftKey mod app and when I opened it up, I accidently clicked Restore Backup and then the phone restarted and my status bar and navigation keys dissapeared. I looked at the SystemUI.apk in system/app and found it had a 0.00kb size. I then tried to replace the SystemUI.apk which when rebooted, caused a constant force close. I then booted a custom recovery and replaced the framework-res.apk, the SystemUI.apk and then the .odex file. I then tried to reboot and found it was stuck in a bootloop.
I wiped both the dalvik cache and the other cache as well as wiped my data. After reboot, It started upgrading the apps and after it had finished, It started its bootloop again. Now I don't know how to get my phone back to an operational standard. Could someone please tell me how I can boot back to the OS?
If you are running a custom ROM you should reflash it.
If you are running stock flash the stock image.

Via sideload?

You can either adb side load a custom ROM or push it to SD.
Command would be adb push nameoffile.zip /sdcard/
Otherwise you can flash the stock image using fastboot.

If you did a nandroid with the bad SystemUi it will bootloop again when restoring it. If you just restore userdata it should be fine.

I successfully rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my WiFi only nexus 7. Running 4.2.2. Downloaded Rom manager and while trying to create a recovery I get an error that says "error while downloading from server. Please make sure you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space.
Also I tried using recovery manager and it won't download the recovery file. Also when I try to boot in recovery mode I get the android with the red triangle. I renamed the boot to recovery file also. Any help would be great!
That is why I prefer to do things manually instead of using ROM Manager, GooManager, Recovery Manager, Nandroid Manager, etc.
I got it to work by using recovery tools. Now I have flashed paranoid android. It didn't flash the Google market app. How do I add that now?

Okay so I pushed the app and flashed it with the nexus toolkit. Thanks

Because I don't know what app it is I have no idea what it did so what I would do is go to recovery and do the following command to every file you want:
adb pull /sdcard/Some_file.txt C://Users/Your_name/Desktop/Some_folder/Some_file.txt
If possible you can make a backup of the internal storage and restore when you reflash your rom or something if you have TWRP also moving the image file to your PC using ADB Pull.
After backing up you have to use this tool with your device on the bootloader menu: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
You can restore your files afterwards but if you originally used a custom rom then flash the custom rom.

Hello everyone! Think that I did something kinda stupid today..but not sure. I have installed cwm recovery (philz version, latest) but today I was transfering over a backup to my pc (I removed it from phone to pc), well that was what I thought..(the file was TWRP, since it was a twrp nandroid backup and I had twrp before cwm) so later, when I tried to go to recovery, I couldn't, I tried with FreeGee, but nothing happened...so does this mean that I have lost my recovery? I tried to put the files back on phone where they was but it doesn't seem like that have helped...
So any other methods to get into recovery mode? And have I lost it by deleting a twrp file containing a backup and a twrps. file on 2kb?
P.s when I look into the TWRP folder, I don't have the twrps file....is that the problem, and what is that file? Is it loki or something?
P.S 2: My phone is working fine..
Anyone?
If you're still rooted, you could install Goo Manager, which will allow you to install a recovery.

I do have root, and I am running cloudystock 1.2 (kitkat), but can I just install a recovery since I am on a stock kitkat rom? Think I have done it now.....
What ROM did you have when you first installed cwm?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
I had stock 4.2.2 rom when I first installed recovery, but I overwrited my twrp recovery and installed cwm (that too on stock 4.2.2 rom
Try installing Quick Boot (free in the Play Store.) It provides an easy way to boot into recovery. This should show whether CWM or TWRP are still on your phone.
