Hi! Recently rooted my GT-n7100 (South Africa) with stock recovery. All seems to be OK, however I have since been trying to install/flash TWRP. I've tried using GooManager as well as ODIN. On each method I get 'Pass' / Success' but when I try to load TWRP my phone will only go into stock recovery!?
Not sure what to do now - do I unroot (How?) or do a factory reset(?) and start over? Or is there a work-around?
Help/ advice needed please (Step by step instructions, please as I'm very new to this) - I have searched XDA and other forums but still unsure of what to do.

I would reflash stock rom with Odin, reroot and stick with CWM 6.0.3.0 or Philz Touch if i we`re you. As for you beeing new, read some threads about flashing, rooting and other stuff. This is not kindergarten my friend.
Thanks

:laugh: No, I'd say it's university post-grad while I'm still in junior school - I've been reading extensively but am not too proud to admit that I am still finding a lot of the info very confusing ...Back to my reading...
Just flash twrp like you flashed the root file.

long story short: I screwed up my D2CAN (Telus) with a D2ATT recovery, flashing a ported ROM from a Sprint S3 (MSG_Chubz ROM)
Now if somone wouldn't mind sharing some knowledge on how i can go about going back to complete Stock, i'd be forever greatful...
I am hoping to return to stock using Odin, and then want to Re-Root so I can flash stuff safely again.
Can someone suggest how I can go about doing this, without bricking my phone?
So in a nut shell: Would i basically Flash the (.tar) file I used to root my phone in the first place, with Odin?
Then after that, restore, or re-download the recovery of my choice, or is it a tad more complicated then I'm thinking?
Your thinking is correct. Flash the correct rooted carrier firmware, boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Then proceed with a custom recovery via goo manager or rom manager. Make a backup

Yes, simply flash that in ODIN. It happened to me on my D2ATT. All I did was flash in ODIN and everything worked perfect on Stock again. NOTICE thought that this will most likely unroot your phone, or at least that's what happened to me.

Not if he uses a rooted firmware tar...like I mentioned already. You must have used unrooted stock. I understand that you're trying to build the 10 posts that you need to be able to post in the development section, but please don't post in a thread just to post. Cheers
All I needed to do was flash the proper modem for 1747m (d2can), and now phone calls and texts work perfectly again.
Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone.

Can you be more specific? Using punctuation marks could make it a lot more understandable.
Also: Please post it in the questions section of the forum, the development section is for roms and mods.
@gtasmodder, try re-installing CWM from Odin again. Will fix your problem. ALSO post in Q/A forum.
Oh, and it is scared, not sacred.
You need to reflash using ODIN on a windows machine.
Go to this link - it has the instructions on how to flash CWM.
After you have got your phone back up and running you need to update it to the latest version, easiest way is to boot into your ROM, go to Play store and install ROM Manager. Now simply select to update CWM.
Search this forum for Dr.Ketan threads if you need to Root/Install Stock etc.

I was in this position yesterday after a failed DN3 ROM flash.
If you follow these instructions you will be back up and running in no time:...
- Like I mentioned, flash CWM.
- Flash a stock ROM
- Root - either CF or use Dr.Ketan multitool method (search is your friend)
- Install ROM Manager, update CWM to latest
- Install <your chosen ROM> - in my case I am running CM11
Follow the above and you'll be sorted.

I'm not sure if English is you're first language (I sincerely hope not!) so I dont really understand what you have asked there ^
My point is you need to search on this forum.
There are plenty of live threads regarding stock ROM, rooting, flashing with ODIN etc. etc.

You must flash thru recovery.
Here the installation steps, but first you must flash a custom recovery like this or other, its up to you.
Installation instructions
- Copy f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip to your SDCARD
- Reboot into CWM recovery
- Choose "Install zip from sdcard"
- Select f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip kernel and confirm installation.

Thank you so much So all i have to do is flash the recovery in Odin.. But since my s4 mini is rooted, do i have to install the S4Mini_RootKit_V2.zip?? i mean if I do, will it conflict with the SuperSU i have previously installed on my device? Or just overwrite it and work like a charm? Sorry I'm asking like too many questions, but since i'm new here i need some guidance
Btw, how do i know if my bootloader is unlocked? Before I buy this s4 mini i owned an Xperia go and to install a kernel i had to unlock the BL.. I don't know if the same thing applies for sammy devices, just asking:angel:

No, we have bootloader unlocked, so you don't need to unlock anything.
No, try with this recovery if you afraid to not doing some conflicts:
[i919x][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch
Download philz_touch_6.07.9-serranoltexx.tar.md5
boot into download mode
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

Really, i don't know for sure, BUT in my previous phone (S Advance I9070) i have some errors when i flashed different baseband deodexed.
Make a nandroid backup after you have custom recovery, and you can try it. If something going wrong, restore your backup and all will just like before.

Hi all guys, i've got some issues wit my P6.
After upgrading to 4.4 i've decided to come back to 125 or 132, but i can't succed following ANY of the guides in the forum. And, belive me, i've tried for weeks.
Now, i've made my last try with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748751, and as always, my stock recovery says FAILED. In each way i try downgrading, same result.
Following that guide, i have no OS on p6 and just stock recovery, so i'm unable of flashing anything.
Berfore that, i used the b513 by Oxalis, flashed from TWRP 7.0, my device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
Any help will be so appreciated, thanks in advance
Since you went from jellybean to kitkat, and now you want to go back you need to get a midle step in order to be able to flash b125 or b132 with stock reckovery. There is an explanation on the forum in how to do that and a link on the file you need to download for the midle step.

I've tried that way, as in:
"For downgrade from B506 to B125 you will need a middle step. First flash that: https://mega.co.nz/#!9oEHUTiR!uVKEq6...QZ5yrnedx4rug4[/url] via stock recovery, after that you will able to flash B125."
but as always, stock recovery report FAIL
Thanks for the answer by the way!

Did you ever get there?
I'm sure you've moved on!
I just dig mine out of a draw somewhere and the thread on Download from 4.4 to 4.2 by rascul at the top of the forum is what you were looking for!
Please help me out... I somehow ended up softbricking my device. An I cant find any working links so i can flash using odin..
What bootloader version is on the phone? I recommend not flashing anything that tries to change the bootloader or modem until you confirm at least the bootloader version.
I was on 4.2.2 if this helps then i rooted and flashed to pac-mans latest nightly
I really need help with the file to flash... none of the links are working.. I need help bad guys... An another if I ever do get this file Am I going to have to repartion or flash in pit?
Im ready to throw this phone out.. This shouldnt have to be this hard. Who would of thought If you messed up and soft brick your phone. There would be no way of undoing this cuz theres no ****ing working links anywhere or people just dont want to help. This is a joke.
This is my only phone.. It just sucks i cant find anyworking links. What did you guys do when you softbrick with no links? An when I do flash this file if I ever get it... I just put it in pda then flash in odin?

Fixed see link if you have the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068&page=73 or message me if ANYONE needs any help. Your ATT unbricking boss!!
Unbricking is not required if you can get into download mode.
In download mode, just flash TWRP or Philz Touch, boot to recovery, and flash a custom ROM. Flash supersu from recovery for root access.
Everythings taken care of already, thanks though// =]

Remember to be polite when posting .......... to answer the TWRP Question ....... going forward TWRP is really the only stable recovery program for 4.XX the CWM has issues on many devices in Jellybean forward....... FYI
2nd thing most of the comments helping you are correct. The worst case scenario is in a hard brick you would need a Jtag to get into download mode ..... but if you can without it there is always a fix .......
One other thing .....going from JB to KK the bootloader is different framework so, there is a special flash for upgrading to that the 1st time be informed...... FYI
