Hi
I wanted for testing a personal theme on TWRP Recovery but I have a serious problem: I have a bootloop on the main blue screen.
I tried to force a reboot holding Power button, to go to download mode and restart... nothing works!
What can I do? Flash TWRP again? Factory firmware with PIT file?
The problem is a file called "ui.zip" in the folder /sdcard/TWRP/theme
Thanks!!!
EDIT
I can flash the PhilZ recovery from Odin to solve my problem I think.
EDIT2
Solved via PhilZ Recovery (flash with PC Odin)
That happened to me long time ago .. I re-flashed the recovery via Odin with latest TWRP and its all good..

This doesn't wipe the theme folder right? So the bootloop should be there again.
Anyway everything got back to normal thanks to PhilZ tar file.

You need to flash Fix-recovery.zip after flashing custom recovery so that it doesn't keep reverting to the stock one and to give it permissions to alter your system when you flash ROMs.
Take appropriate .tar file recovery (for 4.2.2) to be flashed from odin from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529

Please help because I messed up my tab3 8.
I was using the BinDroid ROM and today I decided to flash this ROM [JB/KK][4.3.1/4.4.2] CyanogenMod unofficial builds.
I started flashing the Philz recovery via Odin. After that I have bootloop.
I tried to flash stock firmware via Odin and still have bootloop.
Is there any way to fix this?
I am able to enter recovery or download mode.

1.Do you boot into the Philz recovery or the one you had previous to Odin the recovery? If its philz try wiping data and cache and rebooting.
2.Next check if the md5 of your download matches and you have downloaded the correct zip for your device (lt01wifi). If so factory data reset and then flash again.
3.Make sure you are using ODIN correctly. A good guide can be found here http://forums.androidcentral.com/ambassador-guides-tips-how-tos/300296-guide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin.html
I flashed the stock firmware again and still bootloop.
Then I did a factory reset via the recovery and that was it!!!! My tablet is fixed!!!
I pass the Philz recovery then and root the tablet.
So now I am with the stock ROM and rooted. Thank you!!!
Is your data lost after flashed ?
Image, mp3, video etc..

Im pretty sure your rom that you are running is corrupted, this has happened to me
when this happens recovery will not let you run that ROM. So it will
keep rebooting into recovery. Try this, go into recovery Wipe Data,Cache and Dalvik
then reboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing a Rom.
my rom is the orginal sumsung rom that came with the device only rooted.
i will try wiping the data/cach/dalvik and then maybe restore an old backup that i have.
thanks for the advice.
well it didnt work.
i also tried to recover a working version of my rom and still boot loop to recovery.
plus when i power it off and connect the power cord it startup automaticaly to recovery.

I think The onlyest way is to flash a Stockrom to your Tab.
Then try to flash a Recovery to your Tab again, but i prefere CWM or Philz Touch not TWRP.
maybe i should install philz on top of twrp and then restore old backup?
i dont think i can get the orignal frimware form samsung in my country.

The prob is, only with CWM or Philz you restore Backups froh there, is The backup froh TWRP you need TWRP as Recovery.
Download from sam The Version what is in The box .
well i found the orginal rom in .img file at samfirmware. i belive its pure stock - i know that someone of you can confrim this - but how to i flash it?
i belive is with odin buth as for the instracion. is it like flashin recovery with odin? if so i will follow that instracation and give it a go.
I have the same problem, did anybody figure this out?
ended up just reflashing the stock rom from odin instead of twrp and it worked.

So I've done this before, attempting to install a different type of ROM, the only way to repair this is to return to stock via Odin. Download the stock rom in the 10.1 dev thread, reboot into download, and flash via Odin.
I have been messing with my S3 lately and just tonight I tried flashing the newest compatible TWRP recovery so that I could run SlimBean on it, which is recommended, but after I flashed it, the TWRP recovery, my phone would no longer boot into recovery. It will boot into download and will boot normally. When I try to boot into recovery it shows the "Recovery booting...." text in blue but then goes to a black screen where I can't go any further. I have tried booting into recovery while completely turned off with Volume up + Home + power, with ROM manager and with goomanager. No matter what I try it refuses to boot into recovery. Any help would be very, very, very appreciated!
Where did you get the recovery? Get twrp from my sig and flash via Odin. Should get it going again.

I originally got twrp from their site the first time I attempted to flash it and also tried flashing it directly from goomanager.
Thank you, I'll try it right quick.
*EDIT* I tried the twrp you said to and it crashed my odinv3.07. I'm going to download Odinv3.09 provided by you and attempt it again. Any tips on changing the twrp file from a .zip to a .tar file?
There should be a .tar.md5 fir each version. Use that with Odin. The .zip files are for flashing in recovery, which wont work for you atm.
Sorry about the late reply but after I flashed the twrp from you with Odin v3.09 it booted right into recovery! Thank you so much!

First time flashing ROMs, installed resurrection remix tryed to install Gapps which failed, yet RR booted up on its own just fine. Then tried to flash a new recovery on it (TWRP 3.0) yet the phone would just never boot up to complete the recovery install. So now i have a phone which wont enter recovery mode and cannot complete the download of the new recovery.
TLDR: Phone wont boot into recovery as ROM is broken so download cant be fixed?
Previous: recovery TWRP 2.6
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-19195
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks
Are you sure that you have flashed the right Recovery for your Phone.
Normally the way is.
Boot into Recovery
Install the Recovery .zip file
Reboot into Recovery.
Reboot into System ( ROM )
Can you post a link where you download the Recovery and which file.

That would only work from TWRP ver 2.8.4, I think you missed he is still on very old TWRP or maybe he edit later , he would have to install with Odin method
@Spec77
If you can boot into download mode you should be able to flash new recovery with Odin method (NOT use zip file).
As Bierma suggests maybe you flashed wrong TWRP does your phone have another letter and after gt-19195 if so it is a different phone & you need different TWRP. Or maybe you just tapped wrong link.

This way works also if you come from a CWM or PhilzTouch Version.
If you come from TWRP =>2.8.4.0 than you can flash an *.IMG File ,but you can flash on all Versions a *.zip file.
Managed to fix the brick
Thanks for the help, I managed to fix it by installing TRWP 3.0 from ODIN, and now that i have that I'm fine
Thanks!
