Problem With TWRP Recovery - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Sometimes. When I Reboot Into Recovery Mood. To Flash A Rom. The Phone Reboots Then The TWRP Logo Comes On With The Blue Screen. Then It Just Stays There? Doesn't Load Into Recovery. But Sometimes It Does. But It Freeze More On TWPR Logo. And I Have To Bring The Battery Out. Put Back In. And Do It Again Then Goes Into Recovery It Self. Is There Something Wrong With My TWRP Recovery?? Any Ideas

That is a known problem with 2.6.0.0
You need to d/l 2.5.0.2
You can find the link in this forum.
Try this link for using with mobile Odin lite.

This link can be flashed using your version of TWRP.

EDIT: This seems to have been fixed in 2.6.1.0

I don't know why there is a difference but I am using 2.6.0.0 and I experienced the freeze a couple of times. Which you only need to hold the power button until it reboots instead of pulling the battery. Since I started using my Extended Power Menu to boot into recovery that way I have not experienced a hang once. So it must be something with trying to cold boot into recovery, which I almost never do now.

Mobile Odin Lite should do the trick.

Because you're in "Download mode", not Recovery mode.
Press Volume UP/Power/Home at same time to get to Recovery
Ok got it thanks
Now I did that so how do i make a nandroid backup. I only see a few options and thats not one of them..
I came from htc and recovey is a lil different thats why im asking all the noob questions. ..
What does download mode do... does it install a rom automatically if I have one on my sdcard?

Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228188
There is no working recovery for it yet. The bootloader is locked and no dev is working on yet. They won't start working on it till they can get a Odin ROM so they can fix it if it soft bricks

[Q] i9505 - Problem with Recovery

Hi guys,
I've tried to install CM10.2 using Philz Recovery. No radio, long boot time, etc. So I decided to go back to my previous backup. I've tried to reboot in recovery using combo key and nothing work. Reboot loop. Vibration, Samsung boot, recovery in upper left corner, black screen and vibration again.
I've managed to get in recovery mode using power button menu in CM and I restored my backup. So I've installed cwm. Nothing change. Cannot get in recovery using combo key. Only through power button menu.
How can I fix? I've already tried to reflash this using Odin, reflash cwm via recovery. I'm not very worried about this because now I've a fully working cm10.2. But it's a little bit furstrating...
Thanks for your help
I had a similar issue with no recovery access. Just hung at small blue type in top right corner. I ended up reflashing stock rom via odin and started again . All sorted now.

ReFlashed cwm 6.0.3.6 img using sgs4 flasher. Now it seems work!

Manually boot into recovery?

I've researched it and cannot find a answer. Say if you get stuck in a boot loop and want to flash a nandroid backup or something. The only options I seen with the buttons when the device is off or whatever take you into download mode or a mode that only says factory reset.

On the Verizon model I have TWRP installed and hold power on+volume down and when it says the factory reset I just go ahead through it. The phone still has all your files. It just ends up wiping the OS.
Just my .02 cents because I've been in that position.

So if it wipes the os it leaves the phone in a permanent boot loop therefore not working if you do that, no?

It doesn't wipe. Just goes into recovery instead.

[Q] Infinite boot loop.

So I download flashily and boot into TRWP. I try to flash into cyanogenmod. It had the flashing screen for about an hour so I though it got stuck. I turned it off then back on and now I am stuck on the LG logo. Every time I turn it off it turns itself back on. How can I fix this? I made a backup does this help?
Can you get into TRWP?

Is there a certain button combination I'm supposed to hold down, because it's just stuck at the LG logo.
Powerand vol-. Let go at LG screen briefly. Power and vol- immediately and hold. How I do it, works every time. If you can't boot our repush recovery, time for stock hard flash.
You can't boot into one recovery from another. What are you trying to do?
Do what Steamer said and get into your Recovery - whichever one is already installed as default - you can only have one Recovery system loaded at a time. Once you're in Recovery, either restore your backup, or install a ROM that will boot. After its back to normal, THEN you can change recovery systems.

Phone wont boot up

so i installed CWM on my verizon G2. I went into recovery and wiped data. When it was formatting cache, it looked like it froze because it was taking forever. So i held the power button down so that i can reboot it. Now whenever i try to boot it back up, it stays on the LG screen for a couple minutes and stays on the ground zero roms boot up screen. Is there a way to get into recovery from boot? I've flashed many ROM's on many phone but i need help please so i can get my phone back up and running. Thank you

Turn phone off
Hold power and volume down until lg logo comes on then release and hold power and volume down again until you get into recovery.

That doesn't work for me. I keep getting the factory hard reset screen.
I've flashed things in recovery but I'm always gotten into it from a booted Rom

Yes. You will get the factory screen. Do it. Press the power button twice. Trust me it will boot into cwm.
This is twrp but watch this video I made if you have doubt's. If you properly installed cwm which you probably did considering you wiped your data. This will work.
