I was having a problem flashing a ROM someone talked me into flashing Twarp I was on cwm. I did it now I am stuck with twarp that the touchscreen does not work so I can not flash nothing I want cwm back help

When the touchscreen doesn't work the first time, just hold power to restart phone, then power, vol+, and home to get into recovery again.
Also, which ROM are you on? I personally use madmack's Twrp that is hacked and no touch problems and I am on CM10.2.

use the freegee app you used to flash cwm ( if that's the one you chose when you used the freegee app to unlock) and hit restore from back up and it will restore the cwm recovery.

I think that might depend if he can boot up. Freegee is an app and installed like one and not flashed. Also, if he isn't on stock, freegee doesn't work. Hopefully, he followed rule 1...make a back up.

if he can boot his phone it works even when your not on stock. no you cant use freegee to flash a recovery if your not on stock but you can restore from back up with it, i had to do it myself to get cwm recovery back when i was non stock.

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.

You may have selected the option to just flash the insecure boot image + root + install busybox. You can go back and flash just the recovery or flash it using Goomanager from the Play Store

I don't suppose you would care to elaborate?
Okay, i went through the toolkit and tried the all in one. It went through for the root and everything seemed good. Then it said to do the recovery through ODIN which I did but everytime i boot into recovery, it's the stock recovery.
Oh. Go into recovery before the phone has a chance to reboot.
I got it finally. I restored the phone then tried it again and it worked fine. Thank you all.

I've had Sons of Android installed on my phone for a few months and a few days ago my phone stopped detecting the sim, I haven't had service since it stopped. I was going to try doing a restore to the stock rom but when i try to boot into TWRP it shows the splash screen for a few seconds, then it goes black and vibrates 3 times, and then it boots into android. Is there anyone here that can help me with my problem?

Put the phone into download mode and reflash twrp 2.6.0.4 maybe u deleted something u shouldn't have, reflashing the recovery should fix that, and if u wanna go back to stock u need to go to sammobile.com download ur firmware and flash with Odin, same thing put phone in DL mode and use odin to flash stock IMG.

How are u trying to get into recovery? Hold power and vol+vol- until phone shuts down, as soon as u feel the first vib let go of power button but continue to hold vol+vols until u see twrp screen, or depending on which ROM ur on u may have an advanced rebbot screen?, try updating ur su app, or better yet download twrp manager from play store, u can flash/backup/restore right from ROM without having to boot into recovery, but u need to have twrp recovery installed for this app to work

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

Just a question..... Freegee installs 2.6.1.0 TWRP, what is the difference btw this and hacked madmack TWRP?
I had installed cwm with freegee then I flashed philz touch. everything was working fine. I restored a backup (slimbean 4.3), rom booted and was running fine. then I flashed a font and I ended up in a bootloop.. I then booted into recovery and wiped everything like I normally do when installing a new rom or restoring a backup. I restored my backup and now whenever I choose reboot phone it just reboots back into recovery. Is there anything I can try without having to completely start from scratch?
Go back to CWM from Freegee and restore your back up.

How would I do that? and I'm not sure that would work. everything has been working fine with restoring backups and flashing new roms. I've only had this problem because I flashed a font zip and it may have not been compatible
You should have another recovery, either CWM or TWRP on your phone from before Philz recovery don't you? Boot into recovery, flash one of them and flash a rom.

yeah I installed cwm with freegee and used that for awhile.. then I flashed cwm advanced edition philz touch for e980 and as I said everything worked fine, flashing roms, restoring backups. I was on bs harmony 4.4 and flashed a font zip file and it worked fine. a little while ago I wiped everything thru recovery like normal and restored my slimbean 4.3 backup, it booted fine and I ended up going back to recovery and flashing the same font zip file and that's when I ended up in a bootloop.. I removed battery and booted into recovery wiped everything and tried to restore both backups but it only resulted in a cwm bootloop, everytime I reboot it boots back into cwm advanced edition philz touch
And you're positive that you don't have another recovery like madmack's hacked TWRP on your phone somewhere? I have it, TWRP 2.6.3, CWM all on my phone and have switched because of different roms. Look hard or you might need to start over.

no I'm not positive.. I assumed that when I flashed philz touch it installed over the freegee cwm that I installed.. am I wrong? if so how would I go about booting into the freegee cwm that I originally installed? when booting the phone and holding the volumedown, power, and home button it automatically boots into the philz touch cwm
You mean power, volume +, and home.? Freegee is probably gone.

Maybe you can sideload one of the recoveries. One of the posts on the attached discusses that option. Otherwise it is the LG flashtool.
