hello all.
im using a G2 D800 AT&T, and since i have a tethering problem which i was assured would be fixed if i installed a new ROM.
so i went ahead with a guide for cloudyg3 rom, rooted using towelroot and verified with root checker, all is well.
installed TWRP with freegee- the TWRP version was 2.6.3.3 and i was told i needed to upgrade it to at least 2.7.1.. thats where problems started.
i couldnt for the life of me upgrade it to any version, 2.7.1 or higher, and TWRP showed a loki.sh problem. thought maybe unrooting and starting the process all over would fix it so i deleted all my apps, then unrooted with supersu.
tried to root with towelroot and no go. immediately after trying to root, root chekcer gave me a "device is not rooted" answer (before there was no problem), and the device reboots just after im trying to remove towelroot from the task manager (center button).
did i mess up my phone so it cant root? is there a way to check that\ other root methods?
please help
Try other methods like ioroot and if still not working flash a new kdz via download mode and reroot with some method. And btw you can easily update twrp by flashing just a zip but don't forget to restart the recovery after flashing and restore defaults under setting. And next time try autorec

first, thanks for your help.
second, i got the device rooted and all, installed TWRP through freegee and downloaded newer version (2.7.1),
and when i booted the device into TWRP mode and tried updating to 2.7.1. , THE SAME THING HAPPEND AS BEFORE-
i just cant update the twrp to more than 2.6.3.3., no matter what version i try (2.7.1 or higher).
getting error message of: assert failed: run_program (temp\loki.sh)
error executing updater binary in zip \sdcard
error flasing zip \sdcard\download\...
updating partition details.
and getting two options: wipe chache\ dalvik, and reboot system.
this happend to me with EVERY TWRP UPDATE I TRY...
and from my understanding i must update twrp to more than 2.6.3.3 before trying to flash new roms.
thats the problem i had before as well, device simply wouldnt update to more than 2.6.3.3
thanks...
I rooted with towelroot then used AutoRec (link) to install TWRP on mine then updated to 2.8.3.1 from blastagator (link) via the older TWRP I installed.
WTF...PROBLEM
i installed autorec, clicked okay and got into the twrp boot recovery mode again, and tried to instal new version with same failed result (pictures added).
but then, i clicked on reboot, device rebooted, BUT DIDNT BOOT BACK TO NORMAL SCREEN.
now the screen is black with a green\blue led that keeps flashing and wont stop.
computer recognizes the device when connected with a USB.
WTF?

tried turning it on or pressing the volume down+power button but nothing (i added a picture). computer wont recognize the phone either.
when i try to call the phone is off
please help
the phone seemed to be in twrp 2.7.0 although it showed me a failed result
I'm not very sure but maybe its was something from the freegee app... you should't have any loki error
So your screen its COMPLETELY black?.. even you hold the power button or something it didnt show anything on screen?...at least if you hold the power button the led stops to flash?
UPDATE
so after i did hard factory reset i am in boot recovery mode, with a twrp version of 2.7.0.0
still cant get past the LG logo (LED keeps flashing) but at least i can be in recovery mode.
computer recognizes that the phone is connected with USB but cant get it to appear as MTP
thanks
i read up and i THINK im in a boot loop.
maybe i was really stupid- are you suppose to use autorec only on kitkat devices and nothing else? my device is 4.2.2.
Yea, I'm on the same boat. I was on 10b (4.2.2) tried using freegee. Freegee said it didn't support my device went to auto rec. Auto rec managed to flash trwp made the backup then was told to reboot the phone. Then I got the same black screen with the blue green led. I plugged in he phone to the computer and pressed volume up and the power button and I got the hard reset option. I confirmed the hard and now I have rebooted into twrp.
Word of the wise: once in trwp don't restore your backup. It doesn't work. See other thread on this.

Hi all, I'm new here (great place, very informative) and pretty new to the Android scene in general.
As the title said, My AT&T S4 won't boot to recovery after I flashed 4.3 JWR663. Worked fine before and 4.3 is working great, but I can't get to TWRP. When I hold "power + volume up" I get the blue text dialog indicating its going to boot to recovery and the phone just shuts off. I can boot to download mode, but haven't done anything out of fear. I'm not rooted (which is what I'd like to do once this is fixed).
Should I try and re-flash TWRP? Any other suggestions? Feel free to break it down like you're talking to a child. Thanks in advance.
Try flashing it. Get goomanager from the play store. Open it and hit the menu button. Hit install openrecoveryscript.

You'll need root to flash a recovery with GooManager.
How did you install 4.3? I assume that it's a custom 4.3 as I don't think it has been officially released yet. If it's custom, I'd assume that the ROM had been rooted as well...

I was rooted, but the ROM had it removed and I need to flash Chainfire to get it back. But I can't get into recovery to do so. I think the ROM was done by Jah0n
Is it safe to flash TWRP with Odin now? If so, could you point me to the directions to help me do so. Thanks again for the help.
Found a fix!
My recovery is fine. All I did was power down, try to boot into recovery with "power + volume up + home" and just when the phone vibrated to boot into recovery, I let go of the power button but continued holding the other buttons. It booted into TWRP just fine.

Yep, that's the way you're supposed to get into recovery.

This thread is about the Samsung Galaxy s4.
Hi there. I'm new of this forum and even of the Android customization scenario. I have a Samsung Galaxy s4 i-9505 with 5.0.1 firmware and build LRX22C.I9505XXUHPK2. I've tried to install TWRP with Odin3 (so without root my phone) and all the procedure goes well. After reboot, I have turned-off my phone and I've tried to enter in the TWRP's recovery mode (using the combo buttons: VolumeUP + Home button + Power button) but the "TEAMWIN" logo didn't appear and the normal "Android Recovery Menu" were visualized.
I need some help to undestand if I did some mistakes during the flashing process. I've used the last versione of TWRP (3.1.1-0 for jfltexx). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
If you want to root with TWRP, try this for the gt-i9505:
open Odin 3.07 and uncheck everything except r reset time;
download the tar version of twrp for the gt-i9505: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/
download the latest version of supersu.zip and copy it to an sd card or the phone's internal storage: http://www.supersu.com/download;
place the sd card in the phone if twrp has been saved to the sd card from the step above;
connect the phone in download mode and flash twrp in Odin's PDA slot;
when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, install supersu.zip, reboot.
If you just want to install a custom ROM, copy the ROM to the internal or external sd card, install twrp, and install the ROM. Root is not required to install a custom ROM, only a custom recovery.
Warning: whenever you flash anything to a phone, it is always possible for something to go wrong and you must be prepared to deal with any consequences. I have used this method for several note 2, note 3, s3, and s4 phones without any issues. With this being said, I can't guarantee that the above steps will work for your phone or your phone won't be bricked.
I've got the Sprint LG G2 LS980. Yesterday I was able to root my phone using ioroot22 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869&nocache=1&z=4196684400085360. But I've not been able to find a version of ClockworkMod or TWRP that is compatible with the ls980. Obviously I'm missing something - there wouldn't be a whole group dedicated to the development of ls980 ROMs if there was no way to flash them... I tried GooManager (Install OpenRecoveryScript), "No recoveries were found for your device". I tried Flashify: TWRP - "No recovery was found for your device"; CWM: "No recovery was found for your device". I've tried searching the forums and googling in general and am coming up empty... What am I missing?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks! I'm not sure what to do with that now.... :/
I tried following the instructions at http://www.droidviews.com/root-and-...lg-g2-verizon-att-sprintt-mobile-bell-rogers/, substituting the recovery.img file you linked to instead of the one they reference in the twrp section, but it tells me "Input file is not a Loki image."
Are there any FAQs or wikis on how to do this stuff? I've never had this much trouble rooting and flashing roms on a phone before.

You can't be plugged in first of all.
Hold volume down and power until you see the LG LOGO let go and press volume down and power again.
It'll go to a factory reset screen which isn't going to factory reset but rather boot you into recovery.
Hit power 3 times.
And now your in recovery.
You can use xposed ( google xposed framework) install something like G2 xposed from the market get it all set up in xposed and reboot.
You should be able to set the option in g2 exposed to set an advanced power menu.
hope this helps if you havent figured it out already or for future reference

all you need to do is download a bad ass program called freegee in the play store, it will automatically detect your phone brand and model and then install either cwm or twrp on your device for you...ive personally used this program for a while now and i own an ls980 and confirm that twrp works wonderful on there....another good program also is twrp manager root from the play store, which allows easy boot to recovery and other useful options....hope this helps..

Without thinking (doink) tried to install the latest OTA.

Now I cannot reboot into TWRP.
Installed ClockwordMOD and installed its own custom recovery. Still won't boot into any custom recovery.
Phone works fine other than that.
How can I get back into custom reccovery?
Note: When I turn phone off and try to reboot into custom recovery it takes me to the "reset" screen.. and then IT RESETS the phone.
When I try to boot into recovery from Clockwork or TWRP app it gives me the android robot with the open tummy and red triangle.

The OTA update installed the KitKat bootloader, which hasn't been hacked for custom recovery yet.
Use this to downgrade the only the bootloader and install custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
You have to root frist. You can use IORoot25 to root the KitKat rom that you have now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232

Oh. Not sure if AutoRec works if you are still on 4.2.2. Sorry bout that.
If it doesn't work, you can always just manually flash the complete firmware using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. Surest way to get back from failed flashes. You can flash the full 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 KDZ and then start over again. That method wipes everything though.

Dear all, I recently tried rooting my device (i5905) and run into some trouble. Here is what I did:
1) I followed this guide a guide called how-to-root-galaxy-s4-using-twrp-method such that I now have a working TWRP installed.
2) When I rebooted I noticed the message "SuperSu has stopped". I found out that I was using an old version of SuperSu (0.99) and updated the version through the play store. After that I was able to open the App but it said that it wasn't set up correctly - I don't remember the exact message.
3) I closed SuperSu, downloaded the newest version from the web to my device and installed the zip file with TWRP. Unfortunately, this brought me back to the state where every time I want to start the App I get the error "Unfortunately, SuperSu has stopped".
4) Some people claimed that it could be a Knox issue, even though I never got any security warning, I decided to download a "Knox" remover script which I ran through TWRP. This removed Knox (it is no longer listed under Apps) but it does not stop the error message from SuperSu poping up.
5) I'm unable to update SuperSu because I'm already on the newest version and I can't remove it either.
Any ideas how I should progress?
Thank you very much!

Then I ignore the fact that I already installed TWRP and just install it? And once I installed it, there will be an option to root without using SuperSu?
Thanks.
After going to recovery go to philz options > reroot
The system will be rooted
If you didnt find SuperSu after boot
Download it from google play

Sorry but I have trouble following the instructions. I downloaded Odin 309 and was able to put Philz Recovery on my phone. I restarted my phone and it seems like I'm unable to enter the recovery mode. I hold down all three keys (VolUp) and the blue font in the corner appears but after a few second the phone just shuts down. I'm still able to boot normal, just not into recovery mode. I thought it might be because of my low battery but even after charging (70%) the problem persists.
I also noted that it was hard to get into Download mode (needed 3 attempts). Maybe removing Knox caused some problems - although it should really affect this? Any ideas?

Hello,
I have the T-Mobile variant of the S5 and I am trying to install a custom recovery and it doesn't send it over to my phone. I tried to push over both TWRP and Philz Touch and Odin3 said they both succeed in installing. However, when I go into recovery, it shows the stock recovery still. At the top it says "Android system recovery <3e> LRX1T.G900TUVU1DOB1". I have been looking it up for a while now and I can't seem to figure it out. I do have Android version 5.0 stocked and not rooted on my phone.
How I tried to do it in Odin:
I made sure that only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time were selected.
Then I checked off PDA and navigated to both the philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar.md5 and flashed it. After I rebooted my phone I went to check the recovery and it was still stock. It was the same exact way with the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-gt-klte.tar file I flashed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Brandon

It's because of the auto reboot. That needs to be unchecked, after the flash is done, pull the battery and reboot into recovery using the buttons.
