Unable to boot into CWM Recovery

Hi guys, i was trying to delete the cwm backups to free up some space, so I deleted the the folders into clockworkmod. And now i can on longer boot into CWM recovery. It will go to the Google boot screen and stuck in there. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You have to access recovery through ADB or the reboot option on your custom Rom.
It's a known bug when trying to access it through the bootloader.
Tapatalk made me send this.

isnt the toolkit meant to do this for the user? i read it said u can do this using the toolkit, also how do i do this once in root explorer?

Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on certain Stock Android Builds that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot.
OR you can use the ToolKit to rename the files.

[Q] lost root access

Hi, forgive me if this is a stupid question but after flashing the latest t0lte nightly I have lost root access.
How has this happened?
I've been flashing CM nightlies for weeks but fancied a change after reading up about omnirom.
Im running an international note 2 LTE using cwm, rooted with Odin.
How do I get root access back? Is it case of me having to flash via Odin again?
More than grateful for any help here!
Cheers

Flash SuperSU in recovery
We haven't yet integrated SuperSU into the package itself, and fixing that has been low priority since:
1) You can't flash Omni without a custom recovery
2) If you have a custom recovery that can flash Omni, you can flash SuperSU in recovery
3) Once you've flashed SuperSU, you can go to its Settings->Custom ROM and enable the backup script

Ah makes sense! is the latest superSU.zip listed on XDA? I can't locate it.
Thanks for your help!!!:good:

Ok, i've pulled the superSU zip from chainfire and flashed it, however it is giving me a error message.
"There is no SU binary installed and superuser cannot install it. This is a problem!"
So I am unable to run step 3
Please help :crying:

[Request] Custom recovery for E7 running lollipop

After updating my e700h to stock 5.1.1 i had rooted it successfully using KingRoot
Now I need to flash xposed framework zip file that needs a custom recovery

I even tried a lolipop compatible CWM for E5 and it was very funny and useless
So can anyone compile any custom recovery for E7 running 5.1.1

You can flash it with the app Flashify or I have just uploaded the odin flashable zip . So that it can be flashed directly. I suggest to use the odin method.

it keeps rebooting into recovery

It looks like a bug. Meanwhile you can try to flash stock recov again and do it all over again. This time flash the twrp with odin and uncheck auto reboot and reboot it manually.
And avoid rebootinh to recovery from the system. Boot to recovery only through the hardware buttons. (3 button combo) volume up+home button+power button.
And the restart button is volume down+power long press it.

Sorry for replying here, I'm still below 10 posts so I cant reply to your original post
First: no words are enough to thank you for you effort. It's working and really amazing. Thanks a lot
But I noticed something: when I tried to flash a rom that I have just created, I got an error message "This rom is for e73g while this device is e5lte" I dont know whether this is a problem in my device or it's recovery related
BTW I'm trying to create a deodexed debloated stock rom
Thanks again

This is not the problem of the device nor recovery. In the META-INF folder in the Rom zip there is a file names UPDATERSCRIPT. Open it in notepad++ or any other tool and remove the first 3 lines.
There should be something written assert. It checks the device name.
So remove it and you are good to go.
Attach or share the updaterscript here so that we can look at it.
After success you can share the ROM in here.

Thank you for your information, I found the 3 lines of "asserts" but i'm trying to set the assert to "e5lte" and will update you if it worked.
Sure I will upload it and it will be the first time to upload a rom after years of modifying stock and custom roms without even creating a flashable zip file
I'm planning to create 3 roms
1. Stock deoedexed deknoxed rooted with busybox
2. same as 1 but debloated (I consider all samsung apps to be bloatware)
3. Will try to replace samsung core apps with google ones from stock nexus gapps
so wish me luck and remember that all these are thanks to your TWRP

Use CF-Auto-Root
Flash in odin AP section

Or
Flash a custom rom & then flash magisk

Ok. I've asked the forum in another thread but no one has replied. I don't understand. We can't be the only two people who own this phone, running 7.0, who want to root the device...

Also look for enable oem unlock & if you see it enable it
And also disable verify apps by adb if you see that too

I'd guess it would be the following for g903w s5 neo lte
https://dl.twrp.me/s5neolte/twrp-3.2.3-0-s5neolte.img.tar.html
Put in AP section of odin
As soon as the device restarts hold power button Vol up & home button to enter recovery
If you miss the moment to enter recovery for the first time after flashing & your phone boots you will have to reflash the image until you enter twrp for the first time

I managed to get TWRP installed. I tried to install Lineage 15.1 as per this site:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums...-for-galaxy-s5-neo-android-8-1-oreo-download/
and am now stuck in a loop. It installed successfully with no errors but will stay stuck on the Lineage loading screen then revert back to recovery.
Any ideas what may be causing this? Should I install 14.1?

Correct process for flash rom
In twrp
Goto wipe
Advanced wipe
Wipe system data cache delvik/art cache
Install
Select rom zip
Install
Select gapps zip - use mind the gapps arm for lineage os 15. 1 http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
Optional install
Select root zip (use magisk)
Wipe delvik/art cache
Restart
If you didn't follow the above that's why it would bootloop

Hi, I'm wanting to root my s5 neo on 7.0 and like you, I'm also and finding it very difficult to find a guide that has a successful ending
I'm new to all this but I did notice that you tried to install lineage 15.1 for sm-g903F but your device is sm-g903w. Could that be your problem?
Have you successfully rooted your device yet?
To be honest I don't really want root, I just want to extract or atleast view all my saved wifi network passwords from the device.
