Hey guys, i'm kinda new to rooting(had iphone previously) and i'm having some trouble. The phone is rooted already(4.4.2), i installed ROM manager and now i dont know how to boot it to cwm recovery, every tutorial i follow it goes to stock recovery. I tried installing cwm with odin but it doesn't get through setup connection, or it does but it fails. I wanted to get the google edition ROM. Thanks in advance

You don't need flash any kernel for have a custom recovery. Take a look:

Thanks a lot man!
Edit:ahem i think i messed up, i got the custom recovery to work, then i did a wipe to install the google rom, but it failed for some reason, what do i do now?
You sound like you really don't know what you're mate.
I think the best advice anyone can give you is to put your phone down and read some more.
If you have successfully flashed CWM then all you need to do is flash a ROM of your choice then wipe data / factory reset.
Also before you even think about flashing anything to your phone you NEED to back up your EFS partition.

you're right but now, since it's in recovery mode i have to fix this asap. i entered the recovery and did wipe data/factory reset like the tutorial said, then proceeded to install zip(the ROM) but it fails E/... status 7 installation aborted.
and i did backup data and sd card but the backups are in my pc and i cant get to them in recovery mode :/

Don't panic bad it's just down to the version of recovery ?
Just go back into recovery & try flashing again once you get status 7 go back & second line from bottom where you chose zip you will see "allow update old binary" tick the box if not ticked or until if it's selected then select zip to flash & it'll go straight through
This is the clockworkmod recovery ported from nexus 5. I haven't tested everything yet but things do seem to work. It uses the stock kernel.
Instructions to flash:
(Make sure you are rooted prior to this.)
1. Install Recovery Tools from above link.
2. You will get a prompt to backup your stock recovery. DO IT.
3. Download recovery file from here and copy it to your phone.
4.Select 'Flash Recovery' option.
5. Select 'from storage' and select it from your phone.
6. flash it.
You're done!

with normal devices you can just wipe the whole system & then push files via adb , this solves the problem but i am a little scared with Xiaomi !! don't want it to go bust .
Don't forget to give proper credits and possible the link of the original thread of the developer of that CWM. Thanks.

here bro
Thanks for this recovery. I do have a question regarding TDB. With the stock recovery I always had the original chinese rom on system 1. If I installed the Xiaomi.eu multilang weekly it always went into system 2. Now that I have flashed CWM, I see that both system 1 and 2 have the multilang version. Is it safe to flash CM11 over one of these?
And I believe switching systems is done via CWM: choose which system to manage and then reboot system?
Edit: My device becomes unbootable after backing up either system 1 or 2. Have to reset using MiFlash, nothing else works. Anyone else has this issue?

Hi. If you install an update using the stock recovery, it will update the system which you are not on. Suppose if u install an update while u are on system 1, the update happens on ur system 2. In cwm that is not the case. U can safely install cm11 on system 1. To do this :
1. Start cwm. Then select manage system 1.
2. Install zip from SD card and choose the cm11 zip. Then go to cwm advanced - select active system - choose system 1.
3. Go back to main menu & reboot.

After made a back up in system 1 in cwm, I chose to reboot to system. But it refused to boot to system it stuck on white MI logo. I think it's bootlooping. Luckily I still managed get back to cwm to restore my backup. Not regular restore though, as it resulted error response something like my backed up is incomplete. So I'd to flashed stock 4.8.15 then advance data only restore. Phew.

Download flashify from play store and install recovery from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2898705
Can be done just by flashing without pc needed?
Wimmme,i manage to flash twrp from the link you provided in the link but i cant see twrp recovery i just boot in some kind of android recovery with few options to flash from several places or reboot,also i open flashiify and try to flash from there by dowloading recovery and then when i reboot i can see only some kind of recovery i can navigate only with plus\minus and power button
Try AUTOREC.Just install the apk and follow the instructions.Its dead-easy

Find an updated TWRP,flash it on the current and try again.Thats what i do when i have problems with recoveries.There may be better options but it works for me.

If you have download mode (completely turned off phone,the VOL UP and insert cable would boot you there) and flash stock ROM with flashtool to return to stock.
Do this for start.

Can anyone help, I rooted my phone last year and installed TWRP as part of the process, I did a backup at the time which I have on my SD card
the phone is stuck in the TWRP recovery mode, I can restore from my backup and it goes through fine but then goes back into recovery mode.
This all started when I tried to reset the phone back to factory defaults. I guess I wiped everything. Has anyone got any ideas how to get out of this.
I am not too familiar with TWRP, if anyone could point me in the right direction with a simple step by step guide it would be most appreciated.

Is your stock rom android 5 by any chance?
I don't know what my stock rom is, I can't access anything on my phone apart from the TWRP recovery screen
I do have another SM-J510FN which was bought at the same time which hasn't been rooted running Android 7.1.1
I don't know if that would help to determine what the stock rom is.

I went into the TWRP recovery mode then to Wipe hoping to do a factory reset, that went through ok and came back into the TWRP recovery mode
I then tried Advanced wipe and ticked all the boxes except micro SD card. Nothing could get me out of the recovery mode so then I tried a restore from
an old backup and that seemed to go through ok, but it still came back to the recovery mode.
If it was me, I would remove the back cover and via TWRP menu turn off phone.
As soon as the screen goes black, remove battery.
Insert battery and power on and see what happens.
Have you tried that? Or how do you turn it off?

Okay... when screen goes black have you tried to quickly start pressing the key combination to enter download mode?
For my J500 it's Volume down + Home key + Power (keep pressing until download screen appears) should be same for J510.
If you can enter download you have the option to use Odin and flash either a stock ROM or a newer Recovery.
If you want, you could:
Advance wipe, everything except SD card and OTG Usb. (How much was backed up? Did you tick all boxes?)
Format Data
Restore backup from SD card again
Advance wipe, tick only 2 boxes, Dalvik + Cache
Restart
Report back
Oh, and just to clarify... when you manually go to Restart in TWRP, no matter what option you choose, the phone restarts into TWRP again?
Bare with me, I'm trying to understand and help.
Thats the problem, I can't get out of the TWRP recovery mode so am not able to use Odin, I presume when I did my original backup
I didn't tick all the boxes because it goes through a recovery with no problem I presume the boot sector is missing.
From the TWRP recovery mode I am able to go to install and select a previously downloaded file but then it fails.
I have searched for a suitable ROM to download but am struggling to find one for my phone
Ok, what TWRP version do you have?

You can update your TWRP with a newer version from here:
https://twrp.me/samsung/j5xnlte.html
(Carefully check that I linked to your model!)
.img is what you want to put in your phone. BUT... I haven't done this myself, so it's your call.
In TWRP you choose to install img and locate the file on your SD card.
My thought is that your TWRP is too old for the ROMs you have tried... (anyone please correct me if I'm wrong).

You can. There is an option to reboot download mode from twrp (might be reboot bootloader)
That will put the device into download mode and you can flash with Odin.
Alternatively you could go to advanced wipe and wipe everything like you already did and then just flash a custom ROM. You wiped everything you said and then tried to reboot. That's why it went to twrp because you wiped system, there is no system to boot anymore.

Wow, that worked, I updated the version of TWRP and then installed a ROM that I downloaded "resurrectionremix-5.8.4-20190821"
and all seems to be working, both sims are recognised and operational all I need now is to get my head around the UI apart from that everything seems
good. Thank you everybody who helped me through this. I almost got to the point of binning an otherwise good phone.
Once again a big thankyou to everyone.
