TWRP wont install

Hi
i have just rooted my n7105 and installed Goomanager, but after TWRP downloads & installs, when i reboot into recovery it just comes up with the stock recovery.
Can someone explain how i can install it via Odin and where i find the TWRP 2.4.4.0 md5 file that i believe i need for this.
Thanks
Pete

Honestly that Goo Manager is sh!t, does nothing. Had the same problem, then saw several other posts that it doesn't work for many.
Just download the .tar, and flash via Odin or Mobile Odin, or if you already are on a custom recovery then download the zip and flash from your current recovery.
And uninstall that Goo thingy

Thsnks, but do you have any instructions on how to do this using Odin as I'm new at all this and don't want to mess it up

Yeah download the latest twrp in tar format. Then flash it through pda tab in odin. The procedure is identical to how you rooted the phone just the files are different
this is XXXDDDAAA

Thanks, i have now downloaded the file, its in a Rar format and named "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-n7100.img" do i need to Unrar first, or do i just point odin to where the Rar file is saved?
i have looked inside the Rar file and it has one file in there called "Recovery.img"
Thanks for your help
Pete
This is where i got the file from "http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/n7100/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-n7100.img.tar"

All done, thanks again for your help

i remember seeing error 7 before on a rom i tried to flash.. i was using CWM so its not the recovery's fault. turns out there was a problem with the rom...
so find another rom to flash would be my answer for now.

The problem is that i get this error whatever i tried to flah. Even cwm or some other rom result in same error

What procedure are you using to flash? What file are you trying to flash and where did you get it from?

I start up the phone using volume down and power. Then in teamwinner i chose install zip and then the file
so far have tried, all downloaded from here or linked from here, those files
CWM-Touch-6.0.2.5-DJ
Hellybean-20130405-crespo
TWRP-2.4.4.0-DJ
jellyshot_crespo-v3.3
nothing works. all of them exist with error 7

Fair enough about the roms, but why cant i even install cwm? This shows me just the error 7 too

I wouldn't be surprised if your recovery is either not for your device or not even a flash able zip.

Where did you get that CWM? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager? If so those are img files, for flashing from fastboot. But I have no idea what "DJ" is for. To flash from recovery it needs to be packaged in a flashable zip.
Or you can install CWM from the ROM Manager app. Or TWRP from GooManager.

quite frankly i wouldnt use CWM. The UI is annoying as hell, and it tends ot be a lot slower, at least from my own experience.
I recommand TWRP, http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/90 latest version here for maguro.
if you have adb set up, installing twrp is cake, simply open adb and type:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img <-----assuming you are in the directory of that img file you just downloaded, and TWRP is just the name of the img file, its usually attached with version, so i would rename it for easier access.
3) after you flashed it just boot into recovery and start flashing your new rom.
If all else fail.....use the toolkit and flash factory image for a fresh start, i havnt failed with factory image yet

t mobile galaxy s4 totaly bricked

I tied to flash the pac-man 4.2.2 ROM to my rooted s4. It worked but all the Google apps did not come with it... so I downloaded an app package off of GooManeger. Anyway after reboot it was obvious the app package was not compatible. Wiped phone, then no ROM, no OS, no nothing. Device doesn't get past initial boot screen. I can get into download and recovery mode. Not really sure how to download anything on my phone right now as my computer doesn't recognize it anymore. My recovery mode is TeamWin. I'm sure there's more you want to know so please ask and I appreciate your help.

You need to start from scratch using ODIN and flash the stock/non rooted Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S4 M919 firmware.
(using download mode in the phone)
Here is the download link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/213469534/9ff06bd/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip.html
After the odin flash you will need to root the phone unless you want to keep it stock.
Good luck!

You may have wiped the /system folder which may explain why your phone is stuck on the booting sequence. As the poster said above, use Odin to flash the stock MDL and root again. As far as your computer not recognizing it. Put the phone into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power), plug the phone into a different USB port (and let the drivers install if it's the first time you're plugging your phone in that port for Windows users), and then open up Odin and flash the stock firmware from there. Let us know if Odin recognizes your phone.

If you can still get into download mode and recovery, you are NOT totally bricked.

Recovery is not working
Got phone back to normal, then accomplished root access. Downloaded clock work and now recovery mode does not work. I downloaded CW from hot file. I was sure to download the right one for my phone... anyway I cant factory reset at the moment, it just sticks at recovery boot screen. What I'm trying to accomplish is download CW, pacman 4.3 ROM, and Gapps.

You gotta be careful where you're getting your files from man.
Try Philz CWM flash via Odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322676
You could also Odin back to stock (you know how to do that now:good
Root again and use ROM Manager to install CWM.

Start using and MD5 hash checker to make sure your downloads are not corrupted. :silly:
Odin back to stock and re-root. IIRC, CWM should be available from the Play store where you can then open the app and install/update the libraries. Didn't Pacman ROM include CWM?

Thank you guys for the advice. Super usefull
I was under the impression I needed to download a download a recovery mod first. Where is the best place to get my ROMs? I'm real interested in the pacman. I extracted the pacman files but it wont plug into the PDA in Odin. Also MD5 hash checker is something I've never heard of..

What? You don't install Pacrom through Odin. You flash the zip in recovery.

The app in the Play Store is call ROM Manager, you can use it to install CWM recovery.

You need to have a working custom recovery first. Like Skipjacks stated, you flash ROM in the custom recovery.
I think you should start from the beginning and take it step by step.
I assumed at this point you're rooted on the stock ROM with stock recovery?
If not lets get to that stage and we can go from there.
-Stock ROM rooted with stock recovery
-Flash custom recovery
-Nandroid backup
-Flash custom ROM<<You are here
Let us know when you're ready for the next step.:good:

Derp moment. CWM != ROM Mgr. :silly: Thanks for the clarification.

I did it all with exception of flashing the ROM. Every time I try to flash the pacman 4.3 it fails. Any suggestions on how to fix that or should I turn my attention so a different ROM. I'm going for optimization and complete customization, without needing a launcher. Or maybe a suggested ave to customize touch wiz to the fullest.

When connecting to USB the MTP USB driver fails (I've tried all the attempts with in getting in into download mode, but with no luck). I've got TWRP 2.3.2.3.

Try to install another rom or check the drivers at your computer(By uninstalling them at device manager), connect it to another pc and see if that works. Aslong as your phone can boot into download there shouldn't be anything to be worried about. You could also try to download philz recovery. Either by flashing it, if you manage to get download mode working, or trying that zip to be installed in TWRP.

I don't like TWRP at all as it has brought me bad expiriences. I'd rather choose Philz recovery, which is just the stock way of installing them zips .
Hope you can get further by these instructions, Good luck. If you got any questions; instead of finding them out yourself, just ask :laugh:

Thanks for the reply! philz did get installed with TWRP and worked after next reboot. But I'm still getting the same message when I try "Install zip" and select the below roms. You know any rom which work for sure? It says Cant open <ROM-Filepath> (bad) on both. The zipfiles are openable through windows

Hmm, very strange. Are you installing from a sdcard? Maybe it is corrupted so it doesn't install. You could try placing the zip file into your internal storage and then try to install it from here.

It was actually my usb2microSD which was faulty. It was messing up all the files it was writing and the funny thing was that windows7 reported all file copies as success. Anyhow, its fixed once I got the .,zip files copied correctly. That was the only way too (through sd load) ODIN coul'd make a connection. Thx for all the help!

Please help me, regarding Android System Recovery
I actually thought I was booted into CWM Recovery, but I ended up booting into Android System Recovery. And I happen to wipe partition and factory reset already.
Now there is no rom to boot, and I am unable to flash custom rom due to the signature verification errors.
Is there anyway for me to recover from this?
Would appreciate your help.

Yes that's what I did, but I seem to be not able to get to CWM Recovery and it always goes to Android System Recovery.
Anyway I recovered my system by flashing a stock rom so that I can restart.
How can I install CWM Recovery properly and make the device boot to CWM?

This is normal behaviour. After you restore using Odin, recovery would always be Android System Recovery. You need to flash a CWM recovery via temporary CWM first, to get CWM recovery.
Lookup for temporary CWM here in forum. And you'll find the thread that I mean.

I am not able to download the zip file, as it needs to download from an installer and run the installer from there. I ran through the whole step but did not end up with the update.zip.
Are there other ways for me to get the zip file, preferably through a direct download or torrent website?

The new CM11 rom by Chrono has been installed and running already. However, I am not able to connect via Wifi to my router.
What could be the issue?

So far I have tried:
ace2nutzer: cm-11-20150714-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip
ChronoMonochrome: cm-11-20150730-UNOFFICIAL-codina-universal.zip
Both the wifi are not working. I was not able to connect to my D-Link 868L router.
