TWRP and Philz Recovery don't work

I tried TWRP and it's fine other than it doesn't flash any ROMs that I've tried.
Decided that I should try Philz Recovery ery and that booted fine the first time, tried to do a backup but gave me an error and told me to reboot. It wouldn't boot back into the recovery.
Should I flash stock firmware and try again? Or is there a problem with the phone?
Thanks

Just check the root status if that's ok Or re root
Else flash stock rom reset the device root using Cf root and flash philz recovery all should be ok

[Q] Custom Recovery Doesn't Work Anymore

Hello,
I've rooted my own note 3 and flashed Temaseks unofficial cm 12 rom. Everything works perfect so I decided to do the same thing for my father. It all went well, first I rooted his phone, then I flashed CWM and flashed cm 12 by temasek. The rom works fine but I forget to install the Gapps. So I tried to install Gapps but I got an error "Failure Status 6". I googled on that error and someone told it has to do something with CWM. I tried to flash a different version of CWM but now I can't reboot into recovery mode anymore. So I can't flash anything.
I flashed another version of CWM but this one also doesn't work. Whenever I try to boot the phone into recovery mode, the blue line shows up. Rebooting into recovery mode, but after a few secs, the phone just boots the normal way. Is there anyone that can help me to get CWM back to work? In the mean time I'll try to flash TWRP by Odin.
Thanks in advance!

So I flashed latest version of CWM: Buildversion; 6.13.0, CWM Base Version V6.0.4.7. I can reboot into recovery now but still can't install Google Apps due to failure status 6. On my own Phone I run a different version of CWM, but when I try to flash it, the phone won't boot into recovery mode anymore. It only boots into recovery when I flash this V6.0.4.7 . How can I get rid of this version and flash an older version of CWM?

You'll probably have to Odin back to stock and start over...

You mean If there is no other way to get the Google Apps on the phone, I have to go back to stock. I did make a backup with CWM on the while it was running custom firmware. Now I have 4 files on my comuter, 3.tar and 1.md5 . If I recover them, I will still have this not working CWM version on my phone right? Isn't there a easier way to delete CWM, can I flash TWRP over CWM and see if it will install these Gapps?

Yeah, you should be able to flash TWRP over it. TWRP is much better anyway, in my opinion. Once you get the recovery issue sorted, I really wouldn't't recommend trying to flash just the gapps. It would probably work, but it's also quite likely to cause some weird issues. It's always best to flash gapps immediately after flashing a ROM, without leaving recovery.
I would flash TWRP, wipe everything but your internal SD, re-flash the ROM, flash the gapps, and everything should be cherry.
Edit: here is the link to download TWRP.

I appreciate your effort, thank you. The recovery issue is solved. I flashed Chainfires Root script and that installed the stock recovery. However, when I tried to install and older CWM version I got back in the recovery reboot cycle. But once I installed the latest CWM it booted in recovery. So I flashed Chainfires Root once again and had the stock recovery back. From there on I tried to install TWRP but got the recovery boot cycle again. My phone is now running android 5.0.2 and I think that's the problem.... :S I'll try again to flash Chainfires Root script to get the stock recovery back. From there on I will try to flash the link you gave to me with Odin and hope that will fix it. Do you have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Your version of TWRP works so far. It reboots into RecoveryMode. Now I'll wipe and try to install Temaseks Cm 12 followed by Gapps! Thanks so far!
Okay, it's solved. Can't thank you enough for you help. Bless you!!

No problem. Glad you got it figured out!

OnePlus 2 never boots up into system, but boots into recovery and fastboot mode.

I Installed the unofficial cynogenmod 14 with gapps , and i was enjoying the new rom. After using the rom for 8-10 hours , the mobile froze , so i had to restart the phone . After the phone started , it started to lag , and while it was lagging it restarted on its own, and was stuck on boot logo.
I waited for a long time for it to boot up , but it was stuck there , so i tried flashing the unofficial cm14 again as it was in the internal storage , but the result was same no matter how many times i try , and in between numerous OS flash attempts , i accidentally wiped the INTERNAL STORAGE
Getting the PC to recognize the phone , and also for the ADB and FASTBOOT to work properly was way too much of a pain , but i was able to get everything correct so ADB and FASTBOOT were working .
AND THAT'S HOW MY JOURNEY BEGAN.
I HAVE FLASHED ALL THE OTA ROMS , flashed the official cynogenmods , flashed the unofficial cm14 and cm 14.1 , tried flashing thru MSM8994DownloadTool , all of the Roms i FLASHED were successful even the MSM8994DownloadTool was SUCCESFULLY FLASHED
BUT MY PHONE STILL DOESN'T BOOTS UP IN SYSTEM , IT'S STILL STUCK AT THE ONEPLUS BOOT LOGO
I LIVE IN BANGLADESH (ASIA) , after i failed so many times and given up all hope , i went to the mobile shops for repairing the HALF DEAD SOUL , and its really sad that even they were not able to make it LIVE AGAIN
ANY HELP TOWARDS MY SITUATION WILL BE REALLY REALLY APPRECIATED

It maybe cause of old modem. try restoring to stock(i.e oos 3.x) or flash latest modem then latest recovery and Rom.

Are you following the right steps to flash rom? if you don't rom won't boot. also try resetting your phone to stock, it might help you.

How do i install teamwin ?

I have a i9000 and i would like to install twrp so i can install a 7.0 rom but i dont know how to install twrp can someone tell me how?

I would also like to know this as well. I've tried CWM through odn but it's a zip so wont flash. I've tried it in stock recovery but obviously get the signature fail msg.

TWRP comes with the kernel and hence the ROM.
It gets automatically installed if you're on older BML/MTD device..
In which case you should have rebooted after acceptign wipe..

Ahh right, so I flash a new kernel to it and that comes with the recovery built in.
Do I flash the kernel from odin or stock recovery. Got the stuff to unbrick the phone if that happens, just wanted to know the right way before flashing stock rom back and starting again.

The kernel is flashed by the ROM zip... I dont remember if it automatically reboots to recovery or not..
However it does create a file in cache that makes it boot to recovery.. Since the /system is not yet installed.
You should flash the ROM after it boots to new recovery.. then install the zip file again..
All this is described in https://github.com/xc-racer99/android_device_samsung_aries-common/blob/aosp-7.1/updater.sh

I got there in the end.
I flashed CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.tar with odin, then installed cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip which also updated my older CWM. It had a spam, so I wiped/factory/dalvik etc from the updated CWM and then reinstalled cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip - now running the rom just fine.
Will be trying out some more over next few days now I have a nandroid of CM10.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
