I just flashed TWRP for the first time but it comes up with "Unmodified System Partition" but touchscreen doesn't work for some reason so I cant select anything. I tried removing the battery and rebooting my phone (Galaxy S4 19505) But it just boots back into recovery for TWRP in the "Unmodified System Partition" . Please Help, thanks.
Edit: Should I delete the TWRP disk image from my pc? (My phone also keeps vibrating while turned off). I have also noticed that there is a non physical home back and menue button, did I download the wrong version? I used the TWRP app to download and flash the image.
Hi,
Download the latest image or tar from here: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/ and flash it with either Odin or Heimdall.
Not quite sure about the notice, is it on the screen that asks you if you want to keep the system partition read-only? Then you either need to swipe or click ok.
Normally flashing a recovery should not produce the problems you are describing, did you only flash the recovery?

While using the PA Updater app to upgrade my rom, the app attempted to reboot into recovery to run an openrecovery script. While doing this, I believe it set my "reboot mode flag" to recovery.
The tablet boots with the Google screen and then shows the TWRP splash (I'm on version 2.6.0.0), then it reboots and starts again.
I am able to get to the bootloader, but even if I press start or recovery mode it reenters the boot loop trying to get into recovery. In the bootloader was where I saw the reboot mode flag set to recovery. Is there a way to use fastboot to remove that or am I just going to have to do a wipe with fastboot?
It happened to me once. I pushed the power button for 60 seconds as it supposed to do a kind of battery pull, and it worked.

I've done this twice to my nexus now and I think I found a reliable way to restore to running condition. YMMV
1)Boot the nexus into fastboot (power and both volume keys) when you power up.
2)Attach your usb cable from the PC (or MAC I guess, dont have one to try)
3)start WUG Nexxus Root Toolkit. 'Launch' advanced utilities.
4)Test your fastboot with Quick tools. check the button at Fastboot-Bootloader and click 'List Devices' if the box that pops up is empty then fastboot isn't working (I can't help you there and it must be working to continue).
5)If fastboot shows a device then go to "Boot Temporary" and click 'Custom Recovery'.
6)I selected 'Touch TWRP' but CMW may work as well. This will reboot you into (temp)TWRP and from there you can force a reboot that will reset the 'Recovery' flag that has locked your bootloader.
7)Give it a few minutes (be patient for 5 minutes) and hopefully you reboot to where you were prior to this mess.
Long time lurker and couldn't fix my fails without everyone here.
Thanks to all.

I had the same thing happen to me (though i updated from stock 4.4 to 4.4.2 [and i had twrp installed]). I tried reflashing to stock recovery and a few other things but same problem, it kept booting me into stock recovery. I know this is going to sound crazy, even stupid, but just letting it sit there for 5 minutes (at the stock recovery screen) let it work... I was searching for more things to try and it just started booting.... Checking the bootloader again showed the reboot mode flag set to none.

I guess mine worked because I was still on stock bootloader and adding TWRP was an important key but the 5 minutes seems to be the solution after all the rest.
recovery boot loop:- Is coz, one of your partitions would be facing problems while mounting.. So Wipe the Partition and Format it with Ext-2 file format. and reboot the Mobile. Then it'll stops rebooting.
Do you have a Samsung device?
Be warned - there is no such thing as fastboot mode for most Samsung Galaxy devices - you'll be wasting your time doing this and typing "fastboot devices" for many hours!
If you have problems with your recovery, it works to just reflash the CF-autoroot kit, which happens to flash the cache partition too. My problem was similar to the OP's - a bootloop with TWRP's obviously buggy OpenRecoveryScript, which was installing a ZIP file over and over again.
If you flash the CF-autoroot specific to your device, TWRP will be gone, but the phone will boot normally again - with all your data on it - hooray!
Then you install TWRP or CWM recovery as you did originally.
Stay away from OpenRecoveryScripts! I'll be installing a ZIP file in the traditional, manual way from now on, from an external SD card so I can remove the card if I get another TWRP boot loop.

How do you install cf-autoroot when stuck in a boot loop with samsung galaxy S device if there is no fastboot?
My phone is stuck in bootloop too. It shows Twrp at the starting and then restarts. What am i supposed to do? I need help ASAP please
I know this might be a long post but I need ALL the help I can get. I have a TMO M919 with TWRP 2.5.0.2. My problem is,to me, complex. When I boot system, I hang on slash screen. When I boot TWRP I hang on TWRP splash screen. This is how I got to where I am not
1)Tried to flash AOSP SMS app, did the wrong one and everything was FC
2)Booted TWRP to flash UNDO.zip and all went to hell.
3) Stuck on Samsung splash screen, boot recovery stuck on twrp and I get the TWRP asking for PASSWORD! Obviously I do not have one.
4) selected cancel and wipped everything, factory reset, reset data, everything.
5) rebooted twrp and hangs on twrp splash screen. Reboot twrp again and again asks for password. Same song and dance
5) Flash TWRP via ODEN and TWRP still asks for Password
Now I wipe all again but reboot twrp, get in and insert micro SD contain backup, I restore back up and all seems well.
Now every single reboot is the exact same 1 -5 all over again. I can get into D/L mode just fine but it says "Write Protection:Enabled" but still can flash via ODIN.
What do I do guys?!?! I have no idea whats going on. TWRP wants a password that doesnt exist and I have no idea what I did or what to do. I can't turn off my phone....EVER or I can't ever boot with out getting stuck. I dont have an ODIN of the stock TAR:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Take a tar from sammobile (for your phone and region) and use it with ODIN
so i accidentally destroyed my efs partition on my Samsung and last baseband and all that in the process of trying to fix that i seem to have broken the bootloader or something so the phone just flashes on the samsung logo, when i try to flash stock firmware or anything other than twrp the flash fails and the phone shows this error: "an error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency function in the smart switch pc software." the phone isn't reconised in the smart switch software though so i cant try to fix it through that. im really not sure what to do at this point, does anyone have any ideas?
Update: i managed to find the latest firmware to flash (CRGB) however my phone gets stuck on the flashing samsung logo and idk what to do now. also my efs partition is broken is there a way i can fix that? (i dont have a backup)

Hi everyone...
Two days ago, and a few hours after installing the 8.1 update, my mom's J7 touchscreen was unresponsive, including the power button. It ran out of battery, and after I restarted it this morning, it goes to recovery mode after it tries installing system update and the No command screen is displayed.
I've searched on the web for hours and hours for solutions but none of them have worked, most probably because it requires the phone to be connected to the PC, and my PC (Windows 10) isn't even seeing the phone via USB (can't use ODIN nor ADB). BTW, the debug option most probably wasn't turned on prior to soft brick.
Phone Info:
SM-J730G J730GDXS5BRK1
No root
Error on recovery screen (the SD card has been taken out):
======================================
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
No Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]
E:unknown volume for path [/vendor]
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]
E:unknown volume for path [/vendor]
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Successfully verified dmverity hash tree
=======================================
Additional info: As I've mentioned, the power button isn't responsive, so I press the volume down button to choose the recovery options. I've tried all recovery options except for:
Wipe data / factory reset, as the phone data isn't backed up (mom doesn't want to lose the personal data as much as possible)
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
All other options are looping back to the recovery screen after installing system update screen.
Lastly, in recovery, there's an option at the bottom that states "Lacking storage booting". I'm sure that would mean something to someone reading this that would help solve the issue.
An OS downgrade or same 8.1 fix is preferred, as long as the phone data is intact. Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Try "Emergency Software Recovery" feature in Samsung Smart Switch for PC.
It could be a hardware issue as well. Clean your USB charging port with a brush and a drop of alcohol. Then dry with a hair drier.
Good evening, have you tried installing the latest version of the firmware by odin?
If not, try this.
probably its touch stopped working after the update because it was not original (already it has been changed) or it can be other cases ..
if you still can not install the newest firmware downloaded from the sammobile site you can do the second procedure.
Such you will find in this same forum.
In it you use the pc miracle box application and downgrade to 7.1.
this is the title of the post.
follow all procedures.
and it will be all right.

PS: Putting it into download mode: Turn the device on by holding the volume down buttons + Home + Power
Thank you. I've tried 3 times now as I am getting stuck at II. Flash TWRP and fix rom. After I flash the nougat rom via TWRP, phone reboots and the logos keep on looping. Either I am doing something wrong or I'm missing a step, or the zip is not working for my mom's phone.

Then when you get to step II open the twrp and go into settings and uncheck the prompt option to install supersu if it is checked. whenever you do something in twrp uncheck this option. I do not know if this will be your problem but this always happens to me, if not clear at the time of restart the cell phone is in the loop screen exactly because of this option.

Checked TWRP Settings and there's no option / tickbox for supersu. I think one thing that I'm doing wrong is that I'm formatting data in TWRP during the wipe process instead of just sliding it to restore factory settings. I will try again later today after work.
Also, one thing I've noticed after flashing TWRP is that I have to enter recovery mode twice - the first time, it goes to the No command error screen then goes to stock recovery. Only after a reboot in the stock recovery would the phone enter TWRP recovery.

Just one more thing. In tutorials on how to install twrp. when you enter twrp the first thing you should do is format the data. then install the rmm state prenormal and bypass files and only then install magisk or a custom rom.

Before trying to flash TWRP, first flash a full stock firmware and make sure your can at least boot all the way up to the main screen.
Once that works, only then try to flash any custom recovery or custom rom.
Same prob
I've just faced the same problem a few days after my update as well. Did you figure out how to get it back to normal? Thank you!

Problem solved! i was installing the wrong version of twrp this is the correct version: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j5xnlte/
I'm using SM-J510H
So I installed samsung drivers.
I even installed ADB and it's drivers (now i have samsung android in the device manager)
I downloaded TWRP for j53gxx:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j53gxx/
The .tar for odin (twrp-3.4.0-0-j53gxx.img.tar)
I did the OEM unlock and debugging thing I even got the notification that the computer was trying to access blah blah I did allow always.
Put the phone in download mode (Down + Home + Power)
Press up to enter download mode.
Connect the phone.
Untick reboot in odin.
Use the ap to select the correct file
Start success!
I try to reload into recovery tried so many different ways even the adb command to reboot into recovery. All I get is a little thing on the top left saying warranty bit recovery and then the screen is black.
It doesn't load into the default recovery it just stays black. I need to take the battery to rest...
I tried with adb but when i force it to load up into download mode (adb reboot bootloader)
adb doesn't recognize the phone anymore
I've now downloaded the android ask maybe that will solve things lol but does anyone have any advice please?
Should I consider installing a different recovery? like maybe CWM?
It has a costume rom on i guess it says "Hebrew by daniel mouyal for bt" in the about tab in the settings...
I tried using ADB to install but when it's in download mod it can't find the phone so when i enter the install command:"fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img" it says: "waiting for device"
Well I've been installing the wrong version of twrp lol sry!
So just in case someone else hits the same problem it's not the twrp i posted before but this one:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j5xnlte/
When recovery is finished flashing in Odin, remove your battery to turn the device off.
Then put the battery back in and press vol+ and power button and home button at the same time.
Your device should then boot into twrp.
If you reboot before doing this the android operating system will ovewrite twrp with stock recovery and you will have to start the process again
Also you used the wrong twrp. J53gxx is 2015 model j500h and j5xnlte is j510fn not j510h. You must be careful or else you may seriously damage your device.
Use this twrp here for your device j510h

Thank you for the response!
I managed to figure out the issue it was the wrong twrp version.. I can't update the title though
That's no problem.
What I would suggest though is to post how you fixed your issue in case anyone has problems in the future they can be referred to your thread here
