I was running (and am after the restore) Android 4.3.1 slimBean jflteatt build.2official.
So my friend convinced me to try CM12 lolipop nightly.
I made a backup wiped everything and installed CM12 and the gapps.
upon boot after the instalation all the play services were crashing so we reinstalled CM 12 but without GAPPS and all was fine.
BUT now i CAN"T reboot my phone. Regardless of ROM (except stock) the att galaxy s4 gets stuck on the boot splash screen (the screen before the boot screen) The screen it gets stuck on looks like this: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8910/20120813002112.jpg
The screen used to look like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aCD7kATq-to/UaIBfYW5oKI/AAAAAAAAO88/ShlHR6459kk/s1600/boots4.gif
I have tried restoring and installing a clean ROM but that did not solve my problem. Only way for me to restore is to wipe everything, then format the data and the restore. I restored to stock TW MDL via a TWRP backup i have.
I am running TWRP 2.5.0.1 (I think). I am currently using the SlimRoms 3.4.0 kernal. I am rooted according to root checker.
Can someone please help me solve the reboot problem? (Could it have anything to do with Xposed?)
I would update twrp and try again. You have an old version.

I've been afraid to update anything because if it aint broke don't fix it.
Do you suggest TWRP 2.8.0.1 touch recovery [2014-09-12]
as this suggests?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413746
thank you for your reply.

Flashing roms in an old version of twrp won't work. If your rooted, which I assume you are, get flashify forum the play store. Then download the latest twrp.img and flash it in flashify. http://dl.twrp.me/jflteatt/ The link is for the at&t s4, if you have a different variant you'll need a different image.

If you want cm12 download the zip and gapps and flash those in twrp. Do the default wipe in twrp first. Note, it will wipe your apps but if you have had Google backup your device it will restore them.

I don't wan't CM12 at this moment. I just need to have old SlimRom working without the reboot issue. too much business related data there at the moment. So should i reinstall slimRom and the restore that data maybe?
Could it be the slimKernal? Ive had the problem where it gets stuck at that screen for a long time now but id just do a batery pull and turn it on and it would work after 2-3 tries.

Okay Idk what's going on exactly but I've tried downloading sacs custom 7.2 several times md5s all check out and when I go to flash it in twrp 2.6.3 it fails same with twrp 2.5.2.zip they both keep failing. However I was recently able to flash miuiv5 after a download so the recovery is still working (also it restores backups fine)... So. I'm wondering what's going on here they aren't bad files and it just won't flash! Does this rom have that aroma installer? Am I missing something that allows that?

It could be a product assert. If the TWRP is not made for t0ltespr (Sprint Note II) or ROM isn't made for that the two could be trying to verify the wrong model against each other and failing. You can remove this from the zip by looking for the assert in update-script.
Another option if you're open to it is to try my unofficial CWM and see if that avoids your issue.
Good luck!
rom help
In order for it to work, you need to flash sach's custom rom version 7.0. Let it do a full install and setup, then boot back into recovery. Then flash the 7.1 or 7.2 update. Hope this helps.

Do Not, I repeat DO NOT do a system wipe in TWRP after installing 7.0 or 7.1. Let the aroma installer do the wipe. I learned the hard way, I wiped it myself and went to update to 7.2 and got nothing but failure notices. Once I re-flashed 7.1 and let the aroma installer do the wipe, it installed with no problem
ive always done a system wipe with no problems. be sure you are downloading the full rom and not the update. and make sure your downloading from a pc over a good wifi conection, then i make sure the file size is about the same size before transferring and flashing. hope this helps

After wiping system,caches,data in Twrp advanced wiped are you getting the fail? if so just reboot recovery and try to install again without wiping. I have had the flash fail for me too and a recovery reboot solved the issue for me. Also in aroma don't factory reset wipe just wipe cache and dalvik. Also I am on TWRP 2.6.3.1

Hey errbody, sorry if this has been asked somewhere already but it's hard to sift through the hundreds of pages of good questions! But I seem to have a slightly handicapped TWRP thing going on in that it successfully makes backups but upon restoring then when needed, it says failed and then factory resets my phone when I boot into system...Anybody getting this weird vibe?
I've never experienced that before. Are you using the correct TWRP for your phone? Have you tried CWM recovery? Use flashify and flash an older version of TWRP... you should not be having this issue.
I'm unable to restore from Nandroid backups either. No idea how to remedy the problem. This is the 5th phone I've successfully rooted and put a recovery on so I'm not a noob, just can't figure this one out. Have you found a solution yet?

Hey I've used flashify to flash the newest version of twrp, never tried cwm on the g2 saw twrp was the more reccomebd recov. No idea why its going down like this. I'm running pa 4 so don't I need to keep my new version of twrp?
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.

OK, so I have rooted my LGG2 (international, UK, 3 network) and wanted to install a different rom. I followed the instructions to install TWRP and have installed rom manager app. In rom manager I have set current recovery to TWRP and gone to reboot into recovery. This, however, doesn't boot into TWRP. It boots into standard android recovery. Any idea what I have done wrong? Is there perhaps a different TWRP I need? I watched a guy on youtube do it all with ease and it just seems I've had nothing but problems! If I can get TWRP working, I'm sure I can effectively progress further, but at the moment I'm tempted to just unroot it and regain some of the apps I'm not allowed to use, due to the problems I have faced
Any help is greatly appreciated
How did you install recovery, autorec?
If so you're good to go just hit power button x3 through that screen as if you're going to factory reset. It takes you to recovery.

not 100%
I can't exactly remmebr I've done it all in drips and drabs. I think I flashed it with usb. But don't recall. I haven't heard of autorec. But when I use ROm manager, it tells me I have twrp installed. But I select it as the recovery in rom maanger, reset my phone and it goes to the standard android recovery not twrp. And press power x3 when? i just tried in android recovery and it just rebooted the device. I tried while booting and nothing...
Are you on kitkat? I'm sure 3 got ota already.
I'll get link for autorec. Its easy to set up, just install and run.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
yeah
thats right im on kitkat. I'll check out that autorec if you think it will help, perhaps twrp wasnt installed properly and thats the issue? When I use twrp manager for play store, it tells me "something went worng, seems we can't get information for your device" after i select g2d802. Worth a shot at autorec

Hi,
I've had this tablet for a while and recently decided to install a custom rom. I've been rooted for a while, but left it mostly stock. My problem is that I can't find a custom recovery that works as advertised. Philz seems to have problems formatting the cache and TWRP doesn't seem to work properly either (people keep posting that 2.6.3.3 works, but that version isn't available for download on the TWRP site). Not only do they all seem to have problems wiping the cache and whatnot, but once I install them I can longer boot into recovery mode using the hardware button.
Is there a recovery that actually works properly? Where I can properly wipe the device to install a new ROM and where I can boot into recovery if something goes wrong?
