I tried uploading Froyo to my mytouch 3g. I rooted the phone using the one click method and backed up and flashed the new rom. Upon reboot, the rom wouldn't start up so I recovered and restored all previous settings. I found a new rom and went into recovery but i see the dreaded white triangle, but if I turn it on normal it starts up into the original rom fine and is still rooted. How do I get my recovery back? I am also running ROM manager.
Just reflash the recovery from ROM Manager.

Slowness is not problem of recovery. What do you want exactly?

Seems to me like his phone keeps reinstalling the stock recovery upon reboot or rom manager isn't flashing properly, and probably needs to do it manually with "flash_image". . .
( I posted a way to fix the flashing recovery issue before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428838 )
First of all, u didnt described ur problem clearly. then, i think your recovery mode is ok, the thing is you couldn't go through that. did you tried to go to the recovery by holding home+power down key together? then the picture of a phone and a triangle with (!) mark comes up, release the keys and then press them together, hope you will solve ur problem through that.and for making ur phone faster, try bananabread 3.1 , right now i am using that. good luck
Hey, I could really use some guidance here. I'll present the information as simply as I can:
I bought a Galaxy s4 AT&T a few days ago. I've been interested in rooting and flashing different roms, but I think I may have done a bit too much.
I rooted using the motochopper method - great, worked like a charm.
I made a backup of my original rom using CWM. I even took that backup and saved a copy of it on my Mac - perfect.
I thought I'd try Cyanogenmod 10.1, so I downloaded the latest nightly build and flashed it using CWM - so far so good.
Everything was working fine, but my LTE (or any data) was not working at all. I could use Wifi, but once I turned wifi off, I had no data, no gps, no 3g, no 4g, no LTE. I tried the *#*#4636*#*# method, the LTEOnOff app, and changing my APN based on the recommendations provided in this thread - I just couldn't get it to work.
I thought I'd try restoring my original backup, but when I went into CWM to do so, it said that my backup could not be found...(I still have a backup on my computer, just in case)
I needed my phone to work, and badly needed LTE to do so. So, I downloaded this rom: [ROM] CleanROM 1.0 -★| Clean and Smooth! | The Way Nature Intended! |★-
So far, this rom was working fine - it's just a debloated version of TouchWiz - which I like. But, here's my problem now - If my phone reboots, it stays frozen on the Samsung logo (with unlocked lock logo underneath), and I can't get past it. I'd have to go BACK into recovery, and flash the CleanROM all over again, and set my phone up as new with all data wiped.
I really need my phone to work again, and I don't know where to go from here. What options do I have left? What can I do to get out of that frozen Samsung loading screen? Can't I just reset my phone to the way it was? Can't the CM10.1 rom work with LTE?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Your best option is to flash the stock MDB firmware via odin . After you get the PASS on Odin go ahead and manually boot into stock recovery and wipe data factory reset again then reboot. You will have to re root and reinstall recovery but this will take care of any issues you had from a bad flash.

Having the same issue so I figured I'd give these steps a shot. Followed them exactly and phone (AT&T S4, TWRP) would won't even reboot the first time into CleanROM. I'm stuck on the Samsung screen with the lock.
edit: I've noticed that now, when I reboot into TWRP, it prompts me for a password. Hitting cancel takes me to the regular home screen, but I had not been getting the password prompt before attempting to install CleanROM. A permissions issue, perhaps?
edit 2:
I've just spent some time trying a bunch of things with bits of good luck surrounded with tons of bad. Below are the steps I've taken to try to get CleanROM to boot (and reboot) without any issues. Hopefully they help figure out the issues we're having.

I can't speak for OP, but I was hoping there was another way to rectify what has already been done without flashing stock seeing as how I'm on OSX. If that's the only option, then so be it.
Hey. Thanks for the feedback in this thread. I flashed factory through Odin, and everything is working fine. I then factory reset my phone through factory recovery. I'm back to standard touchwiz with all the bloat lol.
I'm going to wait until there a more stable release of cm10.1 - that was a good rom.
Appreciate all the help people!

When you flashed cm10 it probably wipe the internal sdcard, you should ALWAYS do you backups to the extsdcard...period.

As I mentioned before starting over is always the Best and Safe way to go. Shortcuts will only cause you headaches and possibly get you a brick that is why you see Odin stock threads. Do yourself a favor and start over I know it sucks but when your modifying your phones its gonna happen once in awhile.

Yeah, data was enabled - and I was using ATT LTE apn settings that I found on these forums. I made sure to use the right now. Plus, when I rebooted my phone, it got stuck on the Samsung lock screen again...

Yes, those were the exact settings that I used. Is it possible that I could have a defective phone or sim card?
Right now, I am on factory touchwiz with root enabled, and my phone is working perfectly fine. I can reboot, use LTE, everything. The problem starts when I load any CM or AOKP rom...
Has anyone tried the 4.3 cm10.2 ROMs found over here (http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/cm-10.2/)? I was going to give it a go last night but for some reason my device got stuck on the "warning your boot loader is unlocked" screen and had to use Matt's utility to give it life... I may give it a try tonight when I'm not expecting any calls...

Yeah, I'm running the latest version of it now. I had the same problem. What worked for me was the following:
1. Wipe everything - system, data and both types of cache.
2. Install CM 10.2 and NOTHING else. Boot the ROM. It should go through now.
3. Once you get to the main screen, reboot into recovery.
4. Install the 4.3 GAPPS version. Reboot, get to the main screen and reboot into recovery.
5. Now flash the 4.3 version of Supersu for CM 10.2
6. Boot one last time into CM 10.2
All the links for everything you need can be found with a Google search. Later I may edit this post to include those links.

Thank you kindly for the reply... I got it booting finally but couldn't get su permission on TiB and what not... I didn't know about needing the 4.3 su ...I'll flash that now... again thank you kindly

TWRP isn't supported either from what I understand. You need to run CWM.
Any time I install 4.3, it won't reboot. It starts up initially, but I can't get it to get past the Motorola logo upon second boot.
I have tried the normal install method and this method.
Then recovery doesn't see the /data folder so something is wrong with the 4.3 install I presume.
Does it change the location of data?
Yeah I Tried It But It Had No Sound So I Changed Over To 4.2.2 AOKP.

I use TWRP, works ok. Got sound, data, everything working fine. Battery life sucks, but no surprise there.
My 2c
I'm running it right now. I must have missed the part about flashing SuperSu, because I can't do anything as root. I had trouble the first time I flashed with the phone bootlooping, but I flashed again and that fixed it. Battery life is somewhat poor, but I just found the performance page today (Icon was different, silly me!) so we'll see how it goes with a different governor. I've been having issues with Navigation and Bluetooth audio on anything except stock. Bluetooth audio locks the phone and I have to soft-reset it. Navigation crashes if you try to multi-task while using it.
Hi guys, I made a mess today. I decided to restore my stock LG software backup and everything went well. Then there were some LG updates and when they downloaded, I chose to install them. That took me to TWRP. I figured it needs the stock recovery to install the updates so I gave up on the updates and tried to reboot my device. It booted back to TWRP. I found it a bit weird, but I didn't care since I had a backup on the phone. I wiped data, cache, system and dalvik and restored the backup. Guess what, the phone would still only boot into recovery. I started freaking out so I wiped everything except internal again and flashed an AOSP based rom along with the gapps. Still wouldn't boot except recovery. Then I started to freak out even more and decided to wipe EVERYTHING, along with Internal storage. And here I am now, wiped every single thing on the device, stuck in recovery and can't connect my phone to the PC with usb. just a few minutes before I have to leave home. Any ideas on how to fix this? It was just some pointless LG update and it caused such a mess... ADB sideload won't work for me, I'm gonna attempt to find some drivers or something.
Anybody?

If you have twrp 2.6.3.4 you sideload rom but this may not help you.
You are going to have to go back to 100%stock.

In TWRP you have USB-OTG. If you have this cable you can install ROM from USB-flash)
I had the same issue. Only way to fix it was with the LG flashing tool. Make sure the usb port you are using on your computer is working and the cable isn't broken. I just followed the steps from this thread and it worked 100% for me.

Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
First you root using ioroot 25. It's extremely easy and there are instructions in the thread. Then I suggest using AutoRec to install TWRP 2.7. Again, very easy and instructions in the thread.
Then when you are ready to install the rom, you reboot into recovery. If you don't have an app or mod to do it for you, then you can do it manually. Turn off your phone, then hold volume down and power button till the lg logo appears. When that happens, you release the buttons and immediately hold them again. You will see a window asking if you want to factory reset your phone (as long as your recovery is properly installed, then there's no need to worry). Press power 3 times and it'll boot into recovery.
Now you can install your rom. The rom thread probably have instructions as well. It's probably something like wiping dalvik, system, data and cache. Then install the zip(s).
I hope this helps. I didn't go into too much details because there's already instructions in the respective threads and it's usually fairly straight forward and most screw ups can easily be fixed. Just remember to double check anything you install matches and is compatible with your specific model so you don't brick your phone. That's all. You should be fine.

Edit: I actually forgot something in the "guide". A bit of an oversight from me. Always make nandroid backups. They can be a huge life saver. It can be done within the recovery... Or the easier way: install online nandroid backup. You can also schedule backups with that.
