Twrp recovery restarting - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys nothing major here it's just that every time I reboot to recovery, in the middle, twrp just restarts and goes back to the splash screen. Then it does the transistion and everything is good. But it gets pretty annoying and scary. When I was wiping system to test my rom, the recovery just restarted and I was freaked out. But it reloaded again.
Any ideas. If not, I'll just deal with it. But I will never, I repeat, never go to CWM.

Have you tried to reflash twrp again? Did the problem persist?

Evo Stuck in Boot Look [HELP]

I cant even boot into recovery. Any ideas? I was using it and it just restarted and I cant do anything at all. It goes to the white htc evo screen and then reboots into a loop. Device is rooted btw.
I've been getting similar issues. Do you happen to have an exchange account?

Boot into recovery, try wiping dalvic and cache.

Can you boot into the bootloader after a battery pull and replace, followed by holding volume down and power buttons at the same time?

I Couldnt get into recovery to wipe anything, nor unroot the device. Reflashing a recovery or RUU through the bootloader didnt work either. Luckily I was able to get a new EVO from my local Sprint store today even though my device was rooted! Came with 2.3.3. so I was sad that I wouldnt be able to root. Then I come online, and BAM! 2.3.3 got root access today! #WINNING
And BTW, I was tethering and sending a text when the phone suddenly rebooted and wouldnt stop. Wasnt cause by the root or flashing anything.

Let me guess.. you used the darkside cache wipe. That's the only way to break CWM. Flash this.

Its TWRP 2.3.0.0. It should lock up when it says installation complete. When it does just hold down the power button and reset your phone and boot back into TWRP instead of CWM. FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE STOP USING WIPE SCRIPTS.

Cool beans. Glad to see you're back in business. Now follow my flashing methods so you don't screw up your CWM installation again.

[Q] (Q) Rom Flashing soft brick?

Im sorry if this is already posted.
So im trying to flash the Rom Frosty JB 4.1.1-v7 i looked at the guides and steps that the developer gave.
After i follow the steps and reboot, it gets stuck at Samsung Galaxy S3 boot. I waited for 3 mins and then i rebooted again but it gets stuck at the same place.
Im using the T-mobile t999.
And again Im Sorry if this is already posted somewhere.
First boot always takes a long time, I dont think 3 minutes is giving it enough time. Try rebooting but if it goes more like 20 minutes then id say restore backup and redownload rom.

I know it takes along time but when i look at other videos they go pass the [Samsung Galaxy S3] Boot, mine gets stuck. i also tried what you said i rebooted after 20 minutes and re-downloaded the rom but it still gets stuck.
Try to reboot into recovery and factory reset, wipe dalvik/cache.

Are you just flashing the frosty zip? I ask because i had problems because i was having a similar issue caused by flashing ktoons newest kernel which is incompatible with frosty
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yup could be a kernel issue you might need to flash another before install or full wipe.

Constant FREEZING

Ive tried several different Roms and, they all freeze.. at random times, then I have to shut the phone down and then back on. Is this normal? I'm on the latest Carbon Rom

I've noticed you like CWM for your recovery.
Try installing TWRP and see if that helps. Our phone seems to prefer TWRP.

I'm afraid too lol, last time I used freegee, it bricked my phone. And I'm more used too CWM. Ive had several Roms installed, it makes no sence why it would start doing this randomly.

You probably need to use the sbl unlock in FreeGee's menu. Or teeny bins with LGNPST.
Maybe CWM isn't wiping things correctly. There's flashable zips for TWRP and CWMv so that makes it easy.

Its pretty simple we didn't have CWM for our phones for a long time for a reason. TWRP is much more current and supports our phones.

Cwm is infamous for not wiping everything correctly. Twrp is built off the amon ra recovery which is a lot better at wiping than cwm is

Mhmm that's weird I'm running newest carbon and its flawless!. Maybe change recovery's?

He's not alone. PAC and Cyanogenmod have been freezing up on me for at least a month. I use TWRP. It locks up when I type most often and then quits my message and I lose it all. Im resetting to stock and back today.
ughh

So when you install roms, are you wiping /system, /data, /cache, and / dalvic?
If you're using TWRP 2.6.3.0, go to wipe, factory reset, then advanced and tick everything but internal storage. Then install a rom.
If you're still having issues, then in TWRP, wipe everything. Including internal storage. Make sure you backup your files. You will lose everything. Also make sure you have a rom to install or restore in TWRP. If you don't, you'll learn to adb sideload.
If this doesnt work, then LGNPST, or LGFlashTool.
