TWRP

Have anyone got stuck at the Samsung S4 logo to find out that the boot is encrypted?
Never saw this b4 and how to I Decrypt it or stop it from freezing St the logo?
Even if I flash a rom or restore a backup and also the Internal Storage says 0mb.

Have you tried cwm?

twrp has always worked.
I can do a soft reboot but not a hard or it will be stuck also after it gets stuck and go into recovery it asks for a password.

Here's people talking about that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528506
I'd stick with cwm.

Thanks! I'm on vacation so when I get back I'll try to upgrade TWRP and see what happens.

Updating TWRP seem to fix this issue.
Enter TWRP
Perform Factory Reset
Perform Wipe
Then Advance Wipe System-Data-Cache
Flash new rom
It should get through the initial boot.
Setup the new Roman enough where you can Download GooManager and Install the latest TWRP.
Apparently the older versions ain't playing good wid 4.3

(Q) Secuirty Notice & Root

Ok so i just updated to 4.4.2 and now i get this stupid Security Notice saying Unauthorized actions have been detected Tap here for more info, and i flashed super su 1.93 in TWRP yet after i reboot there is no root access and says there is no su binary installed in SuperSU.

Try flashing chainfire auto root for the international note 3 using Odin

Problem solved I just flashed Philz Recovery and everything works. Twrp 2.7 has issues. I always used a 2.6.3 which always worked but now that I'm on 4.4.2 I have to use newer recoveries.
And I have 900T not an international model so that wouldn't work for me Unless it didn't matter on the model.

For rooting kit Kat the international autoroot works. Glad you were able to fix it!

Help!!!! Possible brick fixing to happen in twrp

Hey guys I just rooted my s3 using towelroot and then dl twrp app and attempted to install recovery when it was finished I rebooted to twrp recovery and it says there's nothing on my phone no data or anything. Before I rebooted the system to figure out what happened it told me there was no OS on the phone so now I'm stuck in twrp. What do I do? Do I have to have a computer or can I fix it using another phone and moving sd cards?? Please help

I've never used that app, does it auto select the recovery for you, or do you have to choose? If so which one did you try?
Did you wipe anything?
Have you tried to reboot even though it tells you there's no OS?
You may have to Odin the stock firmware. Yes you need a computer to do so.

Towelroot is a new way to root devices. I've only used it with my note 3. It only gives you root. And only downloaded twrp manager in play store and ran the install recovery script from inside the ago. I did all this because I don't have access to a computer right now. I was able to boot back into the phone without anything happening to it. Now I need to know why when I was in twrp recovery that twrp was not able to read or Mount any of my data or partitions...?

You can use Towelroot for the S3 too. I have a thread about it in the General section.
As for the recovery issues, I'm not sure. What model is your device? What firmware is it running and what version of TWRP is installed? (I think the latest is 2.8.0.1. Try both that and 2.6.3.1.) You can get the recovery from my signature.
If those don't work, try philz recovery instead.
