After installing the recovery replacement TWRP my camera and my display settings (e.g. brightness, adding red tint, etc, etc..) don't work anymore.
The display settings simply don't do anything, you can change them but they have no effect. I tried changing the brightness from TWRP and this did work.
The camera app just crashes instantly. I tried downloading another random camera app from the Play Store and this one instantly crashed as well.
Model number: SM-G950F
On another note, would I not be able to solve the problem: I just bought this device and thus have the right to return it within 14 days. However, I obviously don't want the retailer to know that I flashed recovery. Would they boot into recovery, I'd like to get it back to the stock Android recovery, is there any way to do this?
To restore the stock recovery, you can try using Smart Switch for PC.
It will allow you to restore the original device software, which I believe also includes the stock recovery.

Hi Guys!
Sorry, I couldnt find any problem similar to mine regarding note 3.
Device: N900W8 Canadian (Rogers)
TLDR: After flashing a rom a second time (First time was perfect) phone says its in factory mode and now stock lockscreen doesnt work at all no matter what settings. In factory mode wifi is one of the settings it says isnt suppose to work but it does work, and Im extra confused.
Steps leading to the problem:
- Rooted using cf auto root
- twrp to backup entire stock rooted rom
- flashed Darthstalker v6
- phone works flawlessly, except with gps issues which I suspected was not a rom issue
- decided to test it out anyways, tried to restore my stock rooted backup but for some reason failed (Honestly have no idea why)
- flashed Darthstalker v6 again, complete clean install to see if GPS fixes itself
Phone now boots up normally, but on first boot up it showed a short popup that disappears shortly saying something like this
"Factory mode is ON, in this mode some settings such as wifi may not work blah blah blah"
Thing is, it does work, so far the only difference that I see from this mode is that I cant have a lock screen no matter what setting I put on it. Right now forced to use an alternative lockscreen (Go locker).
Just flashed Jedi Elite v5 yesterday, same issue as above, but everything else is working fine...
Thanks for the help guys!
I suspect it is and EFS thing, but I dont know what that is.
I used root explorer to look in the folder and nothing seems to be inside (Even when selecting to view hidden files and folders)
Unfortunately since my original stock root backup did not work I have no way of restoring the original. If you think this is the issue can someone point me in the right direction to get my EFS folder proper? Currently I only see Backup/restore options. Not the full EFS folder that I think I might need.
Two more things I noticed
- 4 way reboot doesnt work, it just turns off the phone
- when playing youtube "An error occurred" appears for maybe 10 seconds and disappears. Video is playing in the background so its pretty annoying.
Download this file by firasusman and flash thru recovery. Don't know if the lockscreen will come back but if it doesn't reinstall whichever rom you have right now to fix the broken file.
I have just bought a S5 and upon turning it on for the first time I've been unable to restore to factory settings. It reboots but doesn't restore. I'm unable to get into download mode and recovery mode is also being displayed as upside down and I can't select any options. The phone also doesn't pick up any signal despite trying different SIMS. I highly suspect that it hasn't got the stock firmware installed.
The final issue is when downloading apps I get the usual error of no storage space.
Any ideas how I can restore back to stock ?

You need to put the phone in BOOTLOADER mode and reflash the image via Odin. You cannot choose options while in BOOTLOADER mode. Use the search feature, and it is a pretty straight forward process.
Hello, I have been using my S4 for over a year with this issue, I installed screen adjuster free from the play store to "fix" the problem as you can see in the images, but increasing the brightness from the sytem damaged my battery over time, so I'm asking for help again. It happened when I went back to stock with odin after installing cyanogenmod with the installer (that time I did not wipe), it rebooted with the those lines (so then i wiped but they remained) They are everywhere no matter the ROM, even in recovery (using TWRP, also tried Philz) so this is not an accesibility setting. I have tried every kind of format except two, nand erase and re-partition. Can anyone help me to really fix the problem?
Hello everyone,
I flashed the latest franco kernel on my op3t but the phone became very slow, so I reverted back to the stock kernel, but the problem still present. for example, when I open YouTube app, it shows a static reload arrow and it takes 4-5 seconds to load videos, same with app downloads from the store, it shows the same reload arrow for a couple of seconds before it gives me the option to download the app or cancel, also Lastpass lags for 4-5 seconds after login.
Another thing that got messed up is the reboot/shutdown animation, instead of the spinning circle animation, I get a static flickering one.
I flashed the stock kernel again, flashed the os, did a factor reset, a complete wipe but still have the same problem
any ideas ?.
Start over again. Wipe everything via TWRP. And I really mean EVERY partition via advanced wipe option. Connect your phone to your PC and upload a full stock ROM. Reboot once again from TWRP into your recovery. Let your phone boot and see, if your problem is fixed.
Are you sure you're flashing the right packages for OP3T and not the OP3?

Solved the issue by downgrading to MM and then flashing 4.1.6 again. Thank you
So basically, few months ago i tried to root the phone, get new recovery and different rom. If I remember correctly I got stuck trying to get custom recovery to work, because everytime I restarted phone it would be replaced by the stock one. So I left the phone as it was, and disabled the TWRP app on it. Problem was, I could not update phone. Today I tried to completely revert to stock.
I flashed stock recovery but when I tried to install update from the phone storage, it did not even give me option to select a file.
I tried to update the recovery to newer one which gave me the option to select a file, but the installation got canceled after few seconds, putting me back on the file selection screen in recovery.
I tried to instal TWRP but I can't even boot into it at all because the phone is just stuck with blackscreen and lightblue led light.
I tried to ADB sideload the newest stock rom that I downloaded from OP5 site but this one went to around 50% and then crashed as well.
I also tried to do the update using the Settings>System update > Local Upgrade but this one also fails once it gets into recovery.
I tried wiping cache/reset system settings or wiping every data on the phone before any update but none of it seems to help and everytime I restart the phone afterwards the TWRP app is still there needing an update.
I tried to just lock the bootloader but I got the "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot" message followed by link to google support. I assume that is because of the TWRP app that is on the phone but I can't get rid of it no matter what I try. I tried searching for people having simillar problems but I couldn't find anything that would help me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
You can go with the last resort and use the Unbrick tool.
