Your not alone with problems with TWRP. It constantly froze on my device I couldn't get into recovery. Luckily it unfroze long enough for me to install CWM touch. Since I've download cwm I haven't had a single problem with it. I download Rom Manager from the playstore and got my CWM touch downloaded and installed through Rom Manager. .it has not given me any trouble. But when I had twrp I had nothing but problems. Give cwm touch a try installed through Rom Manager.it worked Perfectly for me. It never freezes nor gives a blank black screen like TWRP did .TWRP froze my device completely and I couldn't even get out of it. Not even a battery pull would pull me out. I was very lucky it unfroze long enough for me to get CWM recovery touch installed through Rom Manager.many have reported similar issues with twrp. Try installing cwm touch through Rom Manager and see if that helps. It fixed all my issues. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

okay long story short: i tried to install cwm touch (recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar), got a black screen on every recovery boot. installed regular cwm (CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.tar), got black screen. installed stock recovery, and that worked butI just want my old cwm recovery back that got installed when i rooted it. i also tried to install twrp touch and it got a black screen too. is there some simple fix that i'm missing?
p.s. i am running the october 10th cm10 nightly with leankernel
Odin twrp then use Rom manager for clock work mod.. Worked for me and I was having the same problem

Umm just for future reference, never flash something made for the international S3. It can brick your device. It has different hw and a different partition layout.

That works, TWRP works, but CWM just wont. I'm using a n7105 international variant, any possible reasons?
another weird thing, i can only flash TW based roms, like cleanrom etc. All CM and aokp roms will go through the flicker thingy and blank screen.
Help please! the reason i root is to do away with tw!
I'm having this exact problem and have no idea what the issue is. If I wait a while after the screen goes black I see the buttons light up and when I press them I get hapic feedback. So I'm assuming it's disabling the screen or something?
Yeah you are correct.
As long as capacitive buttons turn on and the phone vibrates, it means it has booted which generally means a successful boot but failure in screen.
Secondly make sure you do not flash N7100 roms on N7105.
They are too very different phones.
Additionally try cleaning cache dalvik data and system.
Also make sure recovery is for n7105.

I also had this flickering recovery bug. I was flashing CWM with Toolkit v3.0.0 and i think, the problem is in recovery version it uses 6.0.1.7). I reflashed it 3x but every time the same flickering. So i found 6.0.1.5 somewhere, and it is working like a charm.
Hope it helps
Same problem here. Would you mind if i ask for a copy of the 6.0.1.5? I would like so much to root my phone but cant go to CWM or the android system recovery.

I used goo manager to download and install the latest recovery. Every time I go to boot into recovery it gets to the load screen where the blue letters are at the top but then it vibrates two or three times then reboots the phone like normal. My phone is rooted but not sure why it's doing this....help would be appreciated.

Have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin?
Have you tried to install twrp again?
Try installing cwm (you can use the ROM manager app) and see if that boots. Then try using too to install twrp again.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
I haven't tried using Odin yet. I will give that a try. I was hoping I could do it without having to use a computer. I have tried reinstalling twrp using goo manager without success.

Switch to cwm to make sure the recovery partition of the storage is okay. Install cwm via the ROM manager app and make sure you can get into SOME recovery. Then try to install twrp again from too. Switching to another recovery was an important step in that process.

Finally got twrp installed! Goo manager and Rom manager did not work for me....they both would not boot into recovery. I had to use Odin mobile and install the recovery then it would boot. Thank everyone that helped out. Hope this can help someone else.

This is a little late here, but I an others have had trouble booting into recovery after flashing ROMs like the leaked 4.3.
It behaved just like the above when I was trying to get into recovery to restore a nandriod - even after a battery pull for 1 minute. I put in into Download mode, then did a battery pull. After that, it went into recovery with no problem.
Note - if Goo Manager installed 2.5.0.3 - that could be part of the problem, as there are issues with it. I went back to 2.5.0.2.
I think some 4.3 roms make you loose root also read their op.

Omega 1.0 was the first one to indicate it was rooted - but it unrooted me. It was when I initially tried to restore a nandriod when I could not get into recovery. I had read about others not being able to get into recovery after flashing 4.3 also.

Can you wipe data in recovery at all? As long as you can get into Download mode, there's always a way to save the device by flashing back to stock and starting again, so don't lose hope.

Honestly, I have never, ever had any luck with TWRP, and I've tried it many times on many devices. It looks great, but it's just not as reliable as the good old CWM recovery. This isn't to start a flame war with TWRP fans. I'm just stating my observations over the last few years of trying it.
I am with you I have been flashing for years this is the first time this has happened. Now I am in the process of going back to stock with a slow ass computer. Thanks
Sent from my GT-P5210 using xda app-developers app
If you can get into download mode by pressing both volume keys while plugging in the usb cable connected to your PC, then you are not bricked, just do a factory image flash and start over, it happens even to the more experienced.
I btw use CWM but I don't flash ROM's that much.
Erik
You also posted the same issue in at least 3 different posts. Limit it to one post and you might get more response.
I had that happen with one of the TWRP files floating around here. If you wanna use TWRP, you need the hacked e986 one which works splendidly on my e980. Hardcore CWM fan, myself, but I love the ease of just using the touch screen.

If you have an SD card you can download the CWM .zip from here, put it on your card and flash that from within TWRP. Then you just have to reboot the recovery, wipe and restore. This is the CWM included in FreeGee. I personally tested this version for @Shelnutt2 a while back and have used the .zip a few times, since.
I did it and it worked thanks
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app
Just a question..... Freegee installs 2.6.1.0 TWRP, what is the difference btw this and hacked madmack TWRP?
I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 11 ROM+kernel and I'm running into an issue. When installing the ROM from the micro SD card, I get an error in the file itself and it also says "Status 7" and then "Installation aborted".
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've tried a couple of other roms and it's doing exactly the same thing. I've already installed the latest Blaze radio since I'm using T-Mobile on the device.
Any help to get this thing up an going is greatly appreciated! The last ROM that was just in here kept crashing all the time, even after a fresh restore it would crash while trying to install it's initial programs.
No ideas?
What recovery are you using? Try TWRP 2.8.1.0
The newer roms will fail to flash if you're using an older recovery.

Just boot into your recovery. If you're using TWRP, you'll see a splash logo that says TeamWin.
The screen after that will show your version at the top of the screen. You can update it if necessary at teamw.in

Turns out it has CWM v5.0.2.6. Is this outdated and won't work either? Also I have problems trying to download Odin on Windows 8.1. The damn OS blocks the file from being downloaded to the computer. You guys have any idea how to stop this? I've tried even loading it from a SD card and it won't copy the file over.
Ok, thanks for the tip on installing the updated bootloader. Now I have CWM 6.0.4.3 for T-Mobile and installed the Blaze radio since I read it's the best for T-Mo.
I installed the latest version of LiquidSmooth 3.2 but it won't go past the splash screen. I see the animated water pouring and the words Liquid Smooth but it doesn't go past that and just reboots into the same thing.
Seems like I'm finally almost there but this damn thing is fighting every step of the way! What am I doing wrong?
Nevermind, seems like I finally got it.
Had to clear out caches, format memory, and all the erasing jazz each twice. Finally working now!
Thanks for the help guys!!!
