Hello,
I can't restore my device to factory settings through recovery mode, I am stuck in "Formatting /cache"
I feel as if my device is worthless now...
please help me
Betting after waiting 10 minutes that it finished the format and is now working perfectly ?

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.

TWRP has definitely converted me.

What version of TWRP did FreeGee give you? I bet you need to update it to atleast 2.6.3.3
You can find it here - http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-g2att.zip
I am on twrp 2.6.3.3. I tried everything i dont kno what to do??

Don't think the md5 part matters. Sounds to me like you're not wiping completely (/system specifically). Follow these steps and you should be good to go..
Wipe dalvik cache
/system
/data
cache.
DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE

Getting an error other than the md5 check?
EDIT: Did you Factory Reset in TWRP or go to Advanced Wipe?

Reason I asked is that I would suggest skipping the factory reset option, go in to advanced wipe and check all except internal storage.

I have TWRP recovery, and stock rom.
Thing is, I sold to phone to a guy, he tried to install the update and now the phone reboots to recovery. I told him to restore the backup, he did so, but he says it still reboots to recovery everytime he tries. He doesn't boot to bootloader or recovery, but presses power off and then manually turn the phone on - still to recovery. I can't really help him because I can't see what's the problem.
What should we do?
If you have custom recovery you shouldn't take ota search for g2 ota twrp and you will find some helpful threads

Ok but my question is why when I restore it still boots to recovery? If I restored it then it should reboot regularly.
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.

Hi, I was installing PA beta with twrp when I accidentally wiped absolutely everything, including internal storage so my backups are lost. I have no way of getting it back, can I install something with Odin or something to get this back?? Please help as this is the only phone I own!!
Well if you can enter TWRP, you can sideload a ROM.
Either way since you just deleted everything you can also reflash stock using the stickied guide =) don't worry, as long as you either can enter TWRP or download mode.
