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.
Let me try why is the twrp recovery touch not working

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

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.

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 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.

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.
So here's my issue. My phone no longer allows me to flash roms from my external or internal sd card safely. What happens with every rom I flash is twofold. Data connection is always lost, and any reboot causes the phone to boot directly into download mode bypassing the odin flash page. The phone recovers from this with a simple odin back to stock. However, not being able to use non stock roms is no bueno to me.
Does this sound like some internal hwr problem? Is this an SD card issue? Would love some insite.
Which recovery are you using?

Every ROM I flashed had some bugs and they started to multiply. I used Super Wipe and killed EVERYTHING.
I then loaded every zip onto my micro SD via my computer and put it in my phone. Flash and Go.
I went back to stock rooted MA7. The glitches were gone,
So my suggestion is to do a recovery of your first full backup or do what I did.
Okay will try super wipe tonight thanks

Okay, I can't find the thanks button for you guys. THis is the solution. Don't use CWM recovery. TWRP worked wonders, and because I didn't format recovery in cwm so superwipe would probably had helped as well
Glad its working now. I have never used cwm on this phone. But twrp has been smooth sailing.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Use twrp on my s3, and cwm on the wife's note 2. Never had a problem with cwm. Sounds like the problem was not doing a full wipe with cwm (and not a problem with the cwm recovery itself)? But, whatever works for you.

I tried to reflash whit a full wipe various times different tw roms but it still happens??

Wipe everything and odin flash the root66 firmware. Start over from full stock rooted, but clean.
Run your nandroid again and write down the error. (Save log to sd).
Seems to me there is some corrupted data getting left behind. I'd format the external sd as well. But at least backup and delete the Android folder. (Contains 2 folders inside, data and obb). You can rename to Android-bak if you prefer. Do this before wiping and flashing root66.

The data error I had too, but on twrp and it's a known thing all over recovery threads for a while now. The error thing happened to me a while back but a root66 fixed that, you should also get the other bug fixed with in the same process.

Mobile Odin isn't hard to use at all. I highly recommend using it in place of cwm and twrp, except for when a nandroid is needed.
As for the cwm touch, have you considered trting twrp? Personally I prefer it over cwm.

There's no reason at all to be nervous about trying a different recovery. Thousands of people have been using it w/o issue. Personally I think they are both really good, I just prefer twrp. Give it a shot, if you don't like it, install cwm.
It shouldn't do anything at all to your current rom. Recovery is on a completely different partition. And you can install w/o flashing. Use goo manager for twrp or rom manager for cwm.

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.

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.

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?

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..
