Rooted, unlocked but can update ROM

Hi,
I've rooted and unlocked my t989D. To do that I pushed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-hercules.tar via odin and then flashed SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Deodex_Rooted_signed and Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio to be at at 4.0.4 ROM and radio.
Now I want to upgrade to cm 10.2. I tried flashing it, and it required a newer radio, so i flashed Tmo_SGH-T989-UVMC6_radio. Then I reflashed cm 10.2 and the installation completed, but I only get a boot loop with the CM sign. I figured it was because I was using an old recovery. So I tried to flash a newer CWM (recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules), and that failed, so instead I pushed the latest TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-hercules.tar) via Odin. I'm in the same position as with the older version of CWM: I can boot recovery, I can successfully flash 10.2, but I get stuck in a boot loop with the CM sign. Can someone correct me? Id appreciate it if you could correct my logic as well plz.
Update:
I pushed the old CWM back (5.0.2.7), then flashed an older version of CM (9.1) and it got stuck in boot loops as well. I then flashed the stock 4.0.4 ROM back and it gets stuck in boot loops (during samsung logo). I then pushed TWRP 2.6.3 back and reflashed the stock 4.0.4 rom ROM and it boots
Basically, the only combination that well allow a full normal boot is TWRP 2.6.3 + stock 4.0.4 rom (SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Deodex_Rooted_signed)
Update 2:
Solution seems to be a dark side super wipe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
So far, this allows me to get 9.2 working. Haven't figured out how to get 10.2 going yet.
Install latest twrp recovery then use superwipe zip file (that is mention in your archive post) than install your rom.
As far as about your boot loop issue wipe your internal and external card than just put rom installation files in it.

[Q] Won't boot rom or cwm recovery - only download mode

Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards

[Q] Epic stuck at Teamwin splash screen[CM11]

I just tried to preform an OTA update to the latest CM11 nightly and so it installed it through Teamwin recovery and now it is just stuck at the Teamwin splash screen. I cannot boot into recovery but I can access the yellow downloading screen. Any Idea on what to do? Am I going to have to use Odin to revert the phone back to stock rom?
Flash back to Stock

I am pretty sure that happens if your Teamwin recovery is not new enough (I don't recall the required version). This happened to me as well.
My solution was to ODIN back to stock and install CWM (v5.0.2.7), CM11 will update it to v6.0.4.7. If I recall correctly I had to install the CM11 update twice (once for the CWM update and once to flash ROM)
Hope that helps
Chris
From what I know, the latest official TWRP (2.6.0.0) CAN NOT flash 4.4.x ROMs. Use CWM as included in CM nightlies, or try @unjust's 2.6.3.0 test build.

Stuck on HTC logo(help)

Hello guys,
Just got my m9 a few hours ago, decided to root,s-off etc
Anyway, I did something stupid and Im stuck on the android logo.
Here is what I did.
-I updated the device through the stock recovery, there was another update but I didnt install i.
- unlocked the bootloader, phone rebooted and was working fine
-installed costume recovery(TWRP), I didnt boot into it because there wasnt and option like in the m8 to boot in recovery from bootloader.
-I reset the device and installed the update(stupid move I knew the stock recovery is not there)
- I got into TWRP and the updated failed so I had the SUbinary.zip so I plashed it and decided to reboot
-Here I got a note that theres no OS installed so I installed android Revolution, I placed it in the sdcard prior
- after flashing it I pressed on reboot yet I get no OS installed and now im stuck on the HTC logo.
BTW I can boot into boot loader but it says sd card not mounted (64GB)
Edit:
I entered into recovery, flashed AR again,its installs everything normally but I realized on the installation log last line : set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
still I get no OS installed
I got it working now. Anyone whos having this problem just use the beta recovery because the official one is broken
here's a like https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M9)/Recovery
just flash it normally and install the rom again.
now i will have to go back to stock recovery and download the OTA the flash TWRP again -.-
will the OTA work on the ARHD and stock recovery or thats not possible?

I dont think the OTA will work.
either find the latest full RUU and flash it, or an older RUU, flash it, then do all the available OTAs.
Then redo TWRP and ARHD.

Thats good to hear, sometimes TWRP will say that there isn't any OS installed but actually there is just reboot the device.
After updating through the OTA I installed ARHD and I got the same error again with the latest recovery. I think its because when I did wipe the data there root directory is changing make the phone unable to boot or there is a problem with the rom although it flashed before the update.
Here is a fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...h-recovery-t3066720/post59934542#post59934542
If it didn't work try to format data in the recovery and reboot. Make sure you have a ROM or back up on an SD card.
Since your phone is running I would suggest you to S-off because from what I understand is RUU (for Europe) will only work with S-off

Failed boot into recovery

I tried booting my HTC ONE M8 into recovery mode and I got a warning sign on the screen which stayed for about 20 mins before the phone automatically rebooted and it's working fine, does this mean that I don't have a working recovery? And how can I fix it. Screenshots attached.
That's a working stock recovery. Why do you need to boot to stock recovery ? You won't be able to install custom ROM with stock recovery, you need custom recovery like TWRP installed first.
BUT first thing you need to do is update your current firmware to at least 4.21.512.4. If not, no use to install TWRP as most custom ROM won't work on your current firmware.
Go back to your thread and read again the link given to you. You won't accomplish anything without reading
