[Q] Recovery problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cant boot in twrp/cwm recovery. I fully rooted phone, got SuperSU, but I can only go into default android recovery, even with twrp and cwm installed. What might be the problem?

Probably didn't install correctly. Try re-installing (remember if TWRP you have to reboot into TWRP before Android) it may fix it.

Try downloading it again, check the MD5 and see what happens, (could just be a bad download) then install. -- If not head over to the TWRP thread and ask there @bigbiff is responding quickly to questions.

yes, it's stock rom with stock kernel

Thank you!
Problem...
I think I did something wrong.
Flashed in PhilZ, installation (Rom and SuperSU) worked fine.
Selected "Reboot now" afterwards.
Now it's dead.
Nothing on power on, no fastboot, no flashmode...any suggestions?

Try VOL+ Power to reset it.
Thanks!
That actually did the trick.
I guess the tablet was stuck in some sorta weird power-state.
Tried it once, but probably held the buttons down too shortly.
Managed to get it to flash once, the three times.
Got into flashmode from there, everything running fine on 5.0.2 stock atm.
I guess next step is to root it
Thanks again man.

Yes you can. But this ROM on 1st post doesn't contain recovery, so you will have to install .zip with it via CWM too.
Hi everyone.
Can I update from official kitkat with this rom?
My device is rooted but that's all. No recovery or unlocked bootloader. SGP311.
If it's possible how can I do that? Can I keep my data and apps?
Thanks.

TWRP Reboots During Flash

Ok so I just got this tablet today (sm-t230nu) and I got it rooted. Rebooted into TWRP, and in my excitement, forgot to make a backup. I wiped everything, minus SD card. Went to flash a ROM, and it reboots TWRP. I've tried a few different ROMs, with same result. Zip file verification is unchecked, as well. Normally I could just restore the backup, but I didn't think anything would go wrong, and now I'm kinda stuck lol. I am downloading the stock ODIN file to flash now, but in the meantime I thought I'd try and fix this issue, too. Thanks

I'm using 2.8.0.1
EDIT: Flashed stock firmware, then rerooted and tried again. It worked this time around. I think I forgot to install busybox last time, that's the only thing I did different

i dont think it was busybox's fault because custom recoveries dont need even root if they are installed thru odin

Advice: Soft Brick G530A

I have a Samsung SM-G530A phone. I had a company install root and twrp, but I don't think it was done right. I tried to apply xposed (22 arm)and I soft bricked my phone into loading loop. I tried doing odin, but it fails when writing a recovery I found my mohan on the interweb.
Before I did this I used ChainFire and TWRP from the play store to create a backup.
I can't find this file to do a recover. Is there a way I can do that?
I saw this link that I can use a recovery image. xda forum link
Can I use that? I would like to just flash my phone back and then do TWRP the right way on the phone.
Any advice is appreciated.
May i have the link for twrp cos i can't install on my G530-H its running on stock 5.0.2. Thanks

Did the problem occur after you flashed Xposed ?
If so then uninstall it ?

I tried uninstall, but I was getting an error for the whole-file signature. So I also tried Odin and it was failing.
Is it possible to get another OS and flash the entire think to start from scratch or no.

Just use kies to restore to stock :good:
If it fails then download your whole firmware and flash via odin .

Data and System not mountable

[solved]
Hello,
tried to install Nougat Revolution. It didn´t work correctly.
At the moment TWRP Revolution for nogut is installed. But I´m not abled to mount system or data.
Tried to flash system via fastboot. Everytime I got an error (sparse flash write failure).
At the moment I´m only able to run TWRP but not able to install any firmware because I have no acces to DATA or System. Tried to wipe boath partition. Its not possible.
Any Ideas?
That's a known mistake to be fixed later. For now, flash FW via ADB sideload, it works in spite of the error warnings (own experience).

There are many guides on how to install the stock firmware around. I, unfortunately cannot help you, why don't you try asking directly in the Revolution Recovery thread instead of creating a new insufficiently-named thread? The Revolution dev will be more likely to notice your question and help you.

have you tried the 3 button method?
Thank you for your help.
The only way two safe the phone was to install MM with the 3 Buttons and the patched oeminfo. The OEMinfo only works with B150. With other versions its not possible.
After Reinstall all now works fine! Thank you for your help.

You will more than likely need to format data. This will cause you to loose everything. But that is what you are seeing, those folders, are your data. Just encrypted.
Also make sure you are on the latest version of TWRP. Sometimes the older unsupported version had encryption errors.
Omg this saddens me! So there's no way I am unable to at least retrieve my pictures?

Simple test are:
- change boot partition
- reflash system
- Say goodbye too all
Got the same problem, Solved After reboot in twrp and enter the good decryption code
I'm right in the middle of reflashing. I am trying everything else before I do say goodbye to my pictures! :crying:
How did you figure out the decryption code?

First time entering in twrp after flashing update, I did not get folder to flash magisk, did a reboot and get it, just a bad encryption code I think
Did u flash rom or anything else before getting this problem ?
Yup, I sure did! 4am couldn't sleep so I thought I would finally put a fingerprint mod on; which I have done this before with no issues. For the life of me, I don't remember which mod I tried to install thru Magisk.
My phone is currently stuck on "Phone is starting"
I also think it's time to look into some sort of automatic back up service..... Got any ideas?

Use msmdownloadtool, have u tried using magisk uninstall in twrp with zip file ? Then boot and uninstall the "****in" fantastic module... maybe it works
I did try to uninstall Magisk in twrp using adb shell. I never had any luck with that msmdownloadtool and not only that it relocks your bootloader.
I usually go this route [ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP6T] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6T https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516

Good luck !!
I saw this happen when I used the official TWRP app.
It went away when I used this TWRP. Hope that helps.
I'm glad you already know not to use the MSM tool. Too many people jump straight to this.....
You just need to boot the correct recovery and your data will decrypt, and you will be able to back it up to a PC, then you can reload your ROM via TWRP or Fastboot to get the phone bootable again. So now it's a question of what ROM were you running before. Do you need a recovery with the latest security patch or something older? What TWRP are you running. Try 3.3.1-6 psychen6 linked too first. Boot that image from Fastboot. See if your password/pin will work to decrypt your data.
