In desperate need of help here
I have a Razr M running 4.1.2 ( Recovered from Matt's Utility System Version 98.15.66) stock rom. Previously before the restore, I had an Unlocked BL, rooted, running Carbon ROM, however once I restored it, I can no longer flash roms, even with root (rooted with SuperUser) and CWM installed. When I go to AP fastboot I see the Status 3 Unlocked, but whenever I boot my phone/ try to flash a rom, the Red Motorola Logo shows up, and then it boots into stock.
Anyone know how to fix this?
TIA

Hi Guys,
So I'd rooted the Nexus 4 by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the rooted kernel. I didn't flash a custom ROM after that. So what I had was a 4.2.2 Stock ROM with a rooted kernel so I could use the root functions. Now I get a system update notification after it downloads the new stock 4.3 on its own on my phone. But now since I don't have the stock recovery, selecting " Reboot and install update" after the system update downloads just leads me to the CWM recovery and obviously I don't have a custom update.zip to flash.
So my question is..How do I flash back the stock recovery and hence lose root and update to 4.3 without flashing the STOCK ROM back, thereby keeping my existing apps on 4.2.2. intact? So what I wanna do is flash the stock kernel which restores the stock recovery...Let the stock system update itself to 4.3 and then maybe Root the phone again..
Could someone kindly direct me to a solution?
Would appreciate a quick response
Cheers!
There's no way to restore to stock without wiping everything

Download the factory images, you can find stock recovery inside. Flash the recovery.img in bootloader mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Kernel and recovery is 2 separated partition in Nexus 4, so flashing kernel won't restore your recovery.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 ATT I337UCUAMDL
Model Number in settings on 4.4 ROM = GT-I9505G
As the title says, I installed dandroid's newest 4.4 ROM from WICKED v5 4.2.2 and lost root. So I attempted to update my CWM Recovery from Odus 1x to the newest using Odin which failed do to write protected I suppose all though others says that doesnt effect their installs.
Where I'm at:
Cannot boot into recovery, says booting recovery the just reboots and enters Dandroid's ROM w/o root.
I'm now lost and have been reading the forums for hours. Currently downloading STOCK Samsung firmware for my device I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT.zip
CASUAL failed.
What do I need to do to get back to WORKING custom recovery w/ rooted dandriod 4.4 kitkat rom. Should I use Odin and flash stock rom then motochopper to root and try to reinstall working CWM recovery?
Please advise best course of action. My phone had been working properly with every ROM I tried before update to 4.4 ROM and attempted CWM recovery update (thinking that would fix my root issue). Thanks all!
If you have a nandroid, and I hope you do, just restore that in your custom recovery. If you don't, then you're going to have to return to stock with odin
Tried motochopper on the phone as it sits and it fails as well.
I have a stock backup but the problem is I no longer have access to any recovery. Guess I'm just gonna have to flash the stock firmware with Odin when its finished downloading and start over.
Just finished Odin flash back to samsung factory firmware. Phone stuck at att world logo on bootup, still can't access recovery. Any ideas?

If you flashed Odin successfully you can get into recovery.
Finally got into recovery it rebooted 3 times but just holding the req. buttons finally got me in.
Back on factory firmware and rooted w/ cwm recovery all back in place properly worrking.
I would like to use the Dandroid 4.4 ROM with this device. When I install am I going to lose root again and if so, how I do I get it back on this device since the model in the settings is going to change from I337 to I9505G after installing this ROM?
Figured it all out last night, re-flashed Dandroid's latest ROM which still caused me to loose root, then flashed SuperSU 1.51 instead of 1.80 and regained root. All is right in the world now.

Hey, if you dont mind me asking where did you get the 1.51 zip to flash? I'm having a similar issues with same ROM where i lost root but have recovery access.
Thanks
Update: Found the file. Flashed it. Root is back. Have you let market update it automatically? If so did you lose root afterwords?
I recently bought a Defense Mobile (Radio Shack Prepaid, on store closing sale) GT-i9300i with the intentions on repurposing it on my ATT plan.
It presently has the ___AND1 (I can't remember the rest) baseband, 4.3 Stock rom, TTT region (trinidadtobango).
Anyway, I was able to use towelroot V1 to root it, install superSU from google play, intall superSU binary, ODIN TWRP or CWM, and boot to such , but then, after installing CM 11 or 12 (the unofficial ones by Rox), it reboots to the download screen, "normal boot failed"
FWIW I can ODIN the factory image back and then it boots back up, albeit 100% vanilla.
Any idea what needs to happen to make said roms work? Or did I somehow get one with a locked bootloader?
I went ahead and took the OTA update to 4.4.4... and rooted that. Same result, the only change being the installs from TWRP show as failed and the bootloader locks to the point of download mode not even working from button combo. However, I could get into TWRP and reboot to download mode from there, which did work, so I could odin over the newer image.
What gives?
Hello all,
I am looking for some advice, on getting my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 working again. I will keep this as short as I can:
I originally had 4.3 rooted with the MK2 firmware, and used Odin to flash my phone to 4.4 NB1, using the ROM in the Guide to Stock/Updating/Rooting thread.
This worked fine, and I was able to boot and use the phone, but my root access was gone.
I tried Towelroot, Kingo, etc... to no success.
I then followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692825 thread to semi downgrade to MK2 and was able to obtain root again. I also installed Safestrap recovery.
At this point I could not successfully boot back into the phone, though I could access Safestrap.
I flashed the stock kernel for NB1 again, but still could not boot.
I then flashed the stock NB1 ROM again.
After this, the phone would show the android icon and a progress bar, then restart, reach the Samsung load screen, start the AT&T load screen and then boot loop.
Once I reached this point, I could no longer access recovery, only download mode.
In my attempts since then. I've found if I stop the phone from ever getting to the Samsung load screen after flashing the stock ROM, I can then access recovery. As soon as I let it boot, I cannot access recovery.
I've flashed the stock ROM multiple times at this point, gotten into recovery and wiped the devices then rebooted multiple times.
I just don't know what else I can do.
Does anyone have any ideas? A place to look? Any help appreciated!
My N9005 is unable to boot into recovery, whenever i try it will start to boot and then just restart itself.
When trying to reboot normally the cyanogenmod loading screen is very laggy and it just reboots after a while.
occasionally it will start normally (1/20 tries).
I tried to reflash twrp with odin but it makes no difference.
Cyanogenmod version 12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-hlte.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Flash stock rom via Odin to get a working phone.
Or restore your Nandroid.
Reflashed stock rom and phone was working perfectly. stock recovery was also working.
Then rooted with CF-autoroot and it went well.
Then i tried to install TWRP custom recovery and it still won't let me boot to recovery.
Android version is 5.0 if that matters?
Edit: Managed to make it work with another version
Did you find a solution? I have thee same issue
Thanks

good evening everyone,
I come back to this forum because I have this beautiful phone that I can not update the android version 9.
On the recovery I can not go beyond the version 2.8.7.0, if I try to put a more recent version it remains in bootloop even if I restart manually.
To know that I have the HTLE model, the only thing is that I replaced the screen with a Chinese model.
then I put the original version back via odin and it goes back to version 5.
I am completely desapointed, I do not know what to do to put it under android 8+ !!!!
PLEASE HELP
