So I TWRP'd my partition with a format. Now what?

I did a dumb thing while flashing a rom. Used the format rather wipe. Now I get stuck on reboots. Can reflash a ROM and get going again but get stuck on the next reboot.
Back to Stock via Odin, right? So, AdamOutler has a thread on Odin back to stock.
1) Does this alone fix the partition or do I then factory reset to fix the partition?
2) Will I be on a stock recovery then or will I the retain custom recovery?
At this point, what's the next step to get back my root and way cool custom ROM?
I'm finding scattered info, but nothing that spells it out and I don't want to mess this up.
Thanks!

As long as you aren't on mf3 booloaders it is okay to use the back to stock Odin package. It will fix your partitions. You will be stock recovery and no root. An out of the box experience. Reroot with adams tool. I suggest philz touch recovery (the latest). Stay away from twrp

Well you're running TWRP so you are obviously not on MF3. Just Oden back to stock and re-root and loki away again. Its just a mistake you wont make again... Trust me I learned the hard way too.

Restoring Stock Recovery

Hey,
I'm fairly new to this scene and i have the Canadian (Bell) Galaxy S4.
Today I rooted with Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root and saw that I can't boot into my stock recovery anymore.
Would reflashing stock firmware through ODIN bring my phone back to factory settings with a working stock recovery?
I think I want to hold off on rooting and playing with ROMs for a while till I'm more comfortable.
Thanks!

Yes it will. Or, through Odin, you can install a custom recovery like twrp, or philz recovery and use those. But if you want stock recovery back, just reflash the stock firmware.

Cleanest way to return to stock?

I have a rooted rommed Note 3 with custom recovery. Time to Edge up and need to wipe this device and return to stock. I followed the advice here and even after Odining it it came back just as it was, tried multiple times. I've been Odining phones a long time now not a noob.... . Clearly there's something I'm missing. What's the most current cleanest method to get my device back to 100% stock?

To restore back to stock 4.4.2, I used Droidstyle's Restore guide here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911 ). If you want it on 4.4.4 when you return it to Verizon, you can find that firmware at Sammobile...the same restore instructions in Droidstyle's guide should work. Or, just restore to 4.4.2 and take the 4.4.4 OTA.
I had to do a factory reset/wipe cache in stock recovery after ODIN'ing the stock tar.
I also used Chainfire's Triangle Away app to remove the Custom unlock splash that pops up after rooting with Towelroot, as the ODIN restore and stock recovery wipe still didn't remove that. Triangle Away requires root, so you'll obviously need to use that before you ODIN back to stock.

Stock ROM Backup

Hi,
I have rooted and installed TWRP on my 910F Note4 as I was fed up waiting on the lollipop update rolling out. I am currently on 4.4.4 and have made a full backup using TWRP of the stock rom.
My intention was flashing the Cyanogen ROM and using that, but i now see on sammobile there is a stock 5.01 rom available. I have a few questions about this.
1. If I flash to Cyanogen can I still revert back to the stock rom 4.4.4 I have made a backup with? I read somewhere there might be problems as I was on KitKat then moved to lollipop(Cyanogen).
2. Can I flash the stock lollipop rom from within TWRP? Or do you have to do this via ODIN?
3. If I flash the Lollipop stock ROM with Odin I assume I will lose root and TWRP? So this would have to done again?
Guess I am asking what is the best way to proceed?
Thanks again
Paul

hi Paul,
1. i beleve to flash CM from kitkat you will need to install the lollipop bootloader first.
2. You have to flash the stock rom via Odin, you will keep all apps settings and files but you will lose root (you u can re root in 3 minutes)
Best thing you could do is flash the stock rom first with odin, see how that feels (IMO its good been using it for months now) and then root it and back it up and flash CM12 (you dont have to flash any boatloader at this point)

Ok tried to flash Stock O2 UK lollipop ROM via ODIN and got error message on screen. MD5 too big or something. Had to pull battery on phone. Had to then reflash TWRP. Got back into TWRP and tried to do a recovery of the backup I took but phone is stuck at Galaxy note 4 screen. It then shuts down and restarts and gets to the same screen again.
Do I try a different ROM? What can I do?
Thanks
Paul

I got it working by flashing the German non branded ROM... Got the error message again but then used a "All samsung recovery.tar" as stated on another post in here and it booted fine eventually... Now on Lollipop. Now time to flash with TWRP.... Again!!!

Please, i need help !
I need help, urgently !
My Note 4 SM-N910C does not work. I can enter the Recovery and the Download Mode. When attempting to install a Custom ROM gives me an error that says I have no data. In the internal memory I have 0mb.
I tried using odin, but I can not .. Salta error.
Someone who can make a backup of your phone (which is factory), leave me a link to download it? So I install the TWRP. Please.
They have another solution?
Thank you.:good:

Stuck in Boot loop after Rooting

Guys i have 910F...Running ANK4 KITKAT. I tried to root it with CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltexx-smn910f. The rooting tutorial said i had to disable auto reboot and should perform a battery pullout after rooting....everything went fine untill i pulled out the battery and put it back in after root...the phone turns on and says "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" And just restarts...i am stuck in a bootloop whenver i try to root it.....i was able to get the phone back online after flashing stock 4.4.4 in ODIN, but what am i doing wrong here....why cant i root this phone?

This happened to me yesterday - you cannot root a stock rom v5.1.1 with CF Auto Root, if you try it will end up in a bootloop. There is a way around this if you search the Note 4 CF Auto Root thread - pages 121 and 124 if i remember rightly.

But i am not on 5.1 i am on stock 4.4.4....anyone else might wana help?

4.4.4 what the hell is that?
If you try gingerbread, you will never update a rom. The best android on earth. (just after the eclair, froyo was a major disappointment)

Are you trying to keep a stock ROM and root it?
I would upgrade to lolipop. I run AICP on my n910f and I love it, best ROM for our phone at the moment in my opinion. To go to a custom lolipop from kitkat you'll need to first flash a lolipop stock ROM, here Then you can flash your custom recovery via odin. Then you can flash any custom ROM via zip file from your recovery software as usual. Custom ROMs are usually rooted by default already so once you've flashed it you're already rooted. If you search the forum you can find a rooted stock ROM if that is your preference.

Did you try a factory data reset after using autoroot? Go into the stock recovery and do a factory data reset after auto root and it may boot after that. If you want to keep 4.4.4 stock ROM then just flash an already rooted stock ROM. They're in the ROM section for your device. That's what I would do if you're having issues with cf auto root.
