Hello guys, first time posting here, I'm pretty sure it's a silly question, sorry if it is but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. I have an unlocked and rooted device, I installed the last 4.3 update this morning, and usually TWRP let me automatically fix the root just after install the update. But this time it just installed it and booted the tablet, and when I try to enter the recovery mode to fix the root in TWRP, I only see the droid with the exclamation mark.
So the problem is that I don't have root, and I cannot enter TWRP to fix it. TWRP went away with the latest update?. For entering the TWRP I pressed vol+ vol- and power and the pick recovery... is it correct?
Thank you in advance for the great community we have in android and sorry for my english
The same thing happened to me, I resolved it by:
- download a recovery image such as TWRP to a desktop/laptop and then flash it via abd
- now boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 1.51 or higher (1.55)
From what I read you probably did this once before. The 4.3 update overwrote your recovery image and root.

Same for me, Starting have some problems as I tried a "reboot to recovery" apk and got it stuck in the bootloader screen and it wasnt going anywhere.. still had TWRP but reflashing things wasnt working..
Used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to bring it back to life..
All good
I reflashed the recovery image and rooted again with Wug's Root Toolkit. All good!! Thank you for your answers guys!! Cannot find the way to put SOLVED in the thread title...

Nice that it is solved but please do nog use toolkits anymore. I respect the effort and time people take to make them but learning fastboot is just way better. Maybe harder but hard work pays off. Almost everyone will tell the same.
For people who want to use fastboot:
1. Flash custom recovery via fastboot.
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Flash latest supersu.
You can put solved in the title by edeting it.

Good time . I have a similar problem : after a recent update missing root. I tried to flash a custom recovery by fastboot, but the process hangs at downloading recovery.img to nexus. I tried using other drivers and a different version of fastboot, but to no avail.
Ps: by same drivers and fastboot I got the root before.
I've posted in a few places here on xda but no responses yet, please help! I've unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed twrp, tried to flash cm13 but had the wrong gapps, so it failed, I tried to wipe and restore a backup I made in twrp but it says my device is corrupt then halts at the Google logo. I think all I need is to push the correct gapps to the phone through adb but I can't get my stupid pc to recognize it anymore. I boot into twrp, plug it in to the pc, tried multiple tools and sdk adb route, but nothing works! I have all the drivers installed, and reinstalled, keep getting a Windows error "The procedure entry point WSAPoll could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll"
I read somewhere that the ws2_32.dll is only available in Vista and up... I'm running xp, I wonder if that's my problem. Sorry for all the posts and long explanations, I'm just frustrated and need professional help
You could get that dll somewhere and add it to your windows. I never flashed under Win XP... Also, you could try to download the factory image (NRD90U) from google. Boot your phone on fastboot mode and flash all the .img one by one and should be back to stock... That should fix your problem hopefully!
How do I boot into fastboot mode? I can get to the ko'd android and select options and get into twrp, it says download mode disabled and connect usb data cable, which doesn't change when I plug it in but I see my serial under fastboot in the skipsoft tool kit. I mainly get that error message when using that tool kit too

If you're running XP your pretty seriously out of date.
All of them say download mode disabled when you are in your bootloader. If you see the little droid on his back and the ascii device status in the bottom left corner of your screen you are in bootloader (which is fastboot 'mode' as you put it). Since it is returning your serial number it sounds like you're good.
I expect you may want to simply reflash the stock OS from your Skipsoft kit. Get it booted stock first, then install a custom ROM.
Ok thanks, got my bro here with his win 7 laptop, gonna try and see about pushing the correct gapps to the phone first, if I can't get adb to work when booted into twrp I guess I'll try the fastboot method to stock.
Is it safe to use the Skipsoft toolkit to flash stock Rom while I have twrp installed? And unlocked bootloader?

If your device is currently borked, just start from scratch. If you flash the factory image partitions properly as per Heisenberg's guide then recovery is overwritten anyway. And, you can't flash anything unless your bootloader is unlocked. You would need to reflash TWRP and SuperSU after it first boots.

I would suggest booting it up stock and letting it set up before flashing TWRP and then rooting. And if you do, when you flash TWRP via fastboot, boot right to recovery and flash SuperSU, otherwise TWRP will get overwritten by stock recovery. Rooting stops that.

I followed Heisenberg's guide with no problems the first time, it was all good before I was stupid and flashed a Rom with wrong gapps and tried to restore a backup, thanks tho, I really appreciate the help!

So you went through that and flashed the wrong Gapps pkg again? I may regret asking but what custom ROM are you flashing? There are really only debloated stock variants right now.

Not again, only flashed wrong gapps once, was trying to flash cm13 and got the gapps from opengapps.org. It's ask good now tho, I'm back to stock thanks to you guys and the skipsoft toolkit! Thanks again!
Hello there, im quite good with the old ADB and FASTBOOT commands but I am stumped, and its probably a silly little thing I have probably forgotten.....
I lost my recovery, after flashing completely going back to stock, got all drivers installed, but couldnt get recovery installed any way.....
so i visited this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/firstaid-zip-revert-h2os-mm-beta-to-lp-t3306967 and it worked, and i have twrp 2.7.0 on the phone, but I can remember having 3.0.2.2 on it, so i download the .img file from the site, and flashed that via the images section on twrp recovery, i reboot, and ..... no recovery....... so I have to flash the first aid zip to get 2.8.7.0 twrp installed again....how do I upgrade it.....I have working drivers, access to fastboot, but I am being a bit dumb!!!!!! HELP!

I would suggest that you flash 3.0.2.2 recovery image via fastboot. Remember to reboot to recovery after you flash it for the recovery to stick.

I was running on an older version of TWRP. Also I had uprooted my phone recently due to battery heating and media server issue. I flashed the new zip file but did not clear cache after flashing instead directly booted into system. System boots perfectly but cannot load recovery as it gets stuck on splash screen( Lenovo logo). Please do help me.
Flash it back to older twrp version using fastboot.
Guys, hi
There is one more new problem. I tried to update the OTA update but got stuck at boot screen. It's not responding after the Lenovo logo. I think the issue is not having any recovery(custom nor stock). How to fix this issue? Please help me to
# Reset stock recovery or TWRP 3.0.2-0
# Update the OTA update( I badly want this as I saw that Resurrection Remix requires the device to presently run on stock Lollipop to update. I soo badly want to use CM13

Thank you. But can you please tell how to do this via the flash boot. I haven't tried yet in a PC. I installed the older TWRP and now tried flashing the new version using my phone. Wouldn't I get stuck because none of the recoveries(custom and stock) are opening
can you boot into the system? if Yes then use rashr app and flash twrp's img file from the storage.. and reboot to recovery and u don't need to update to stock lollipop you can directly flash cm12.1 by ed300 and after booting into system once you can install any lollipop or marshmallow rom with the help of recovery. i advice you to not to do update as u r a root user.

Thank you bro. Yes I can boot into system. Actually I'm not root user anymore. I had heating issues with the battery earlier. After rooting media server started draining battery. So i uninstalled SuperSU.

You first hv to root for the installation of recovery.. First root ur phone then install stock recovery.. Using flashify or rashr.
If you can boot into system, then you can use adb sideload to flash zips(recovery or rom).
For detailed info, google it or go to http://www.droidviews.com/sideload-roms-mods-using-adb-sideload/
If it doesn't work, root your phone and then install flashfire. Then use it to flash recovery.

Thanks bro. Is it bad to root using iRoot or KingRoot? Or should I do it using ADB?
@Iamjomy if you have pc then go for adb otherwise go for the latest version of kingoroot.. I rooted with kingroot.. No problem in that.. You can find that apk by searching on google.. !!

Hello,
Thank you soo much. I flashed TWRP 2.8 using Flashify and it works. Actually I wanted to do a factory reset to solve "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" issue. It wasn't allowing me to turn on my mobile data. I couldn't reset the phone too as a recovery was missing. Now the issue is fixed and I'm happy with it. Can I flash the TWRP 3.0.2-0 similarly using Flashify? Also please do suggest some good ROMS bro. Im still on the KitKat version( S040_150805)

Hey guys, i sucessfull flashed a patched boot.img to my phone. After that i got Root, everythings worked fine. But when I used to deleted System apps with Titanium Backup,I need to restart my Phone, after that it stucks at Bootloop and wont finish.
So I decide to flash my stock rom again, using Odin but it wont flash it, I got a error message. After that I tried it with the combinated Rom file that I found online. I thought it's a stock rom. But It wasn't. After flashing it successfully with Odin, I see it wasn't the stock rom. It's useless. So I tried to go into download mode but it wont. It's just black. So I tried go into recovery mode ( stock Recovery because no twrp avaible for now). And Recovery works after that I go into bootloader (download mode). And tried to flash stock rom. But it wont flash. I just get a error message.
I need your advice guys. What should I do now
I'm using 9.0 pie
Oem unlock: ON
USB-DEBUGGING: ON
ROOTED: YES
No Twrp
download a stock firmware from sammobile, with the version 9.0 pie, and try to flash it with odin,
i think that you couldn't use odin because you tried to flash and older version of android,
also try to use in case of not working the samsung emergency backup softawre (smart switch)
tell me if you fail
also copy the odin error fail message

I'll like to know something.. Was 9.0 stable? Because I'm thinking of upgrading myself but don't know how safe it is.. I mean, any lags or experienced bugs? Thanks.. And also, I apologize concerning your phone situation.

No, to delete the system apps you must fully root using TWRP and flashed magisk. Not by using patched boot image using magisk. Deleting system apps will fail by using patched magisk method. To fully root the device you must flash magisk using TWRP and then, you can delete or modify any system apps

Hi EVERYONE
I don't know how to create a Post to ask this question, so unfortunately, I am ''rudely'' interupting this conversation to hopefully reach out to the person who can help me!
I recently acquired a Samsung SM-A920F (fantastic phone, I love it , I definitely recommend Android).
Now unfortunately, no matter what I do, what method I use, what keys I press, what drivers I download, what program I use; it WILL NOT give me root access... I've had a few ''bootloops'' during the process, but nothing I couldn't recover from...
I don't know why I can't root it! PLEASE PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HELP ME.
