I have a t-mobile Galaxy s4 that is rooted and uses TWRP 2.6.3.0. The recovery keeps hanging at the Teamwin Blue screen. I downloaded the flashable TWRP 2.5 which is said to be more stable so can I just flash this with Goo Manager or will I have to remove the TWRP 2.6.3.0 first. If so how can I downgrade
Just flash in twrp like you would a Rom but don't do any wipes
No Boot into revcovery
I flashed the TWRP but when I try to go into recovery it opens to the Samsung screen with the blue writing and then it turns off, vibrates twice and boots normally. I did not wipe as you instructed

Download 2.5.0.2 version tar here http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2 click on Get TWRP for your device and type s4 and click on T-Mobile version jfltetmo, you should flash it through Odin. Whenever you flash another recovery to your phone, it replaces the older recovery.
Where did you get the 2.5 twrp? I flash between different versions of twrp and cwm often.
Here is the post for twrp 2.5.0.2 zip also. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43469920

I just explained to you in the post, did I just waste my time? You can get it by yourself in the future by following my instructions, ANY version, tar or img is on their site.

Some people have huge issues with TWRP I know I did. You might want to flash CWM touch. I did and haven't had a problem since. You can easily download and flash from Rom manager. You can get that from play store. It will give you latest version of cwm touch. Easily. It should solve your recovery problems.i know it solved mine. Don't know why some can use twrp and others have nothing but problems with it. I know I couldn't use it.i needed a stable recovery and twrp was NOT stable for me. CWM touch had never given me a problem once..it might be time to give CWM touch a try...it worked out really great for me.

Whenever I try to get into my CWM recovery it takes me to the stock android recovery. I've been stuck at EG30 (which is rooted) for a while now. Is there some trick I need to know to get into CWM?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZRnH-_XZmM
Thanks, I had already installed CWM through the root method I used when I first rooted then phone and then afterwards by using CWM Rom Manager. I'll try using this method as well, but I don't have high hopes.

So ROM Manager doesn't work? It's what was recommended by the first instructions I came across. Does it just not work with the Epic 4G Touch? If so, it's strange that it has the device as an option when flashing cwm recovery.

It works its just not recommended by those of us who actually flash a lot. It will get you in more trouble than its worth at times. Stay away from it and just learn how to do things I guess the longer way....
It's not like it takes that much longer anyways.
I reflashed my recovery partition with CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.6 and the root did not take as I tried to update binaries of the super su and tried also to run Tianium backup but that failed as could not secure root privilege. I was just messing around and went to the wipe data/fatory reset. The data/wipe completed but an Error cam in with "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!" Now the S2 just goes into a reboot loop. I read where you have to add an insecure kernel or something or other. Any ideas?.
I was reading on the forum where I do not need root to load another ROM, which is what I want to do. Fine by me just need someone to point me in the right direction. VI seemed easier than this. lol. actually i want to learn all of the file hierarchy of this android stuff. Thanks in advance.
I fixed it!
Just flashed back to my original via Odin. Thanks for any future suggestions

If I wanted to load my original ROM say from the beginning or the new JB rom as far as the S2 is concerned, does KIES work with CWM?
Also, is the CWM I have a valid one? At the top of my recovery screen says in white fonts, " CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6.

Great, thanks for the reply. working long hours today and will follow the links tonight when I get home. Let you know how it goes. hit the thanks button also. great forum! I will reload the JB. The files are still in the directories by the way, maybe not the one that starts the boot, the CWM zip is still there in the download folder where I put it. And can still perform an install of the zip (CWM) from the CWM recovery, which is all I have now. When I originally installed the CWM, there was that usualy warning that you cannot undo, which is fine. Since I have odin to flash anyway.
SOLVED
So today I decided I would try to install a custom OS/ROM whatever it's called on my HTC One X. I unlocked the bootloader successfully without any problems. Then I went on to root the phone, and this is where it all went wrong. I found a tutorial and followed it to the tiniest detail. I am unable to link to it because I am a new user. When my phone rebooted it went to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot screen. I left it there for 30 minutes and it still didn't move on. What do I do now? I am a super noob at this, and I admit that I am an idiot for not reading more up on it first, it just all seems so super complicated.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

No, no error, it said "Daemon launched successfully" or something along those lines, my phone turned off and turned back on to the HTC boot screen.
Ok, try this: if the phone is still on keep the power button pressed till it restarts and press also vol down button until you arenin the bootloader; if the device is off, enter bootloader keeping power and vol down button pressed... Now my suggestion is to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom, you will get root privileges and the phone will work again...
Sent from Somewhere Over The Rainbow...
If you are unlocked (you see it in bootloader) you can flash a custom recovery and a custom rom. Look up for your favorite Recovery and flash it.
Download the img File to directory where you have the fastboot files and run this code in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
After it you can boot into Bootloader and turn to recovery to get access to phone and SD Card/flash Rom
Did you flash boot.img and erased the cache?

Okay, so I successfully flashed TWRP and launched into recovery mode with it. How I get the custom ROM files on my SD card, when I plug my phone into my computer with USB it doesn't show up in the drives section, so I can't open up the SD card.
Another thing is that with the latest version of TWRP for my phone touch doesn't work in the recovery mode. There's a version that does, but it says it doesn't have USB mount or something like that. What's the next step?
You need to mount sd card via recovery, and having the touchscreen working is better as it will be easier to move inside aroma installer... Use philz recovery (if you want a sense rom use 5.15.9, if you want kitkat use the last version), enter the recovery, plug the phone into pc, mount sdcard via recovery, copy the zip over it and follow the instructions to install rom... You can find the instructions in every rom thread op... Ask if you need more help

Thanks! I have now flashed Philz, but I have one question. When you're suppose to enter recovery mode, I've read that you're suppose to press Power + Menu + volume Up simultaneously until you enter recovery. But when I do that I only get a loop: Samsung galaxy Note 2 --> Black screen --> Samsung galaxy Note 2, etc etc. But when i release the power button I enter the recovery. Is this normal?

Test your connection, check apns, and also not knowing which ROM you are on I've seen some that have that bug, only showing H. Search the thread of the ROM and see if it pops up as a known issue. Either way, glad you got it booted.
