Look in your backup folder...what files do you see?

Here is what I see... in twrp/0000000000

Hmm. That should restore. Have you tried reinstalling TWRP or changing versions?

How do I change versions without use of a computer?

Is there a way to make a zip or something of the recovery files to flasg? I don't really want touse smirkit

Is there a reason you don't want to use smirkit?

I am constantly flashing roms... Isnt it true that smirkit goes away after i flash a new rim? Will i still get to keep the updated twrp? Thanks for your help

Yes and yes. Smirkis has significantly updated his script since the last time I used it. It used to be a set of scripts to be run individually to install whatever image or binary you needed. Now, you flash the smirkit.zip installer in recovery along with any files it comes with. This makes it much easier to launch and less likely to encounter any errors, but the overall result of running the script is still the same. The image or binary gets flashed to its respective partition, to stay.
Since the smirkit.zip is flashed to the system partition in recovery, flashing a new ROM, simply overwrites the system partition along with the Smirkit installer.
So yes, you can use Smirkit and not worry about losing TRWP after rebooting or flashing a new ROM.

Smirk it saved the day. Thank you so much for your help

[Q] Stucked on loading insecure boot in Odin

Hi! I am stuck on flashing insecure boot image via ODIN. Already 10minutes gone. I get this window for such a long time already ((

What should i do now?
P.S. I was trying to load TWRP via ODIN on stock firmware. It was flashed. But when i was entering recovery, i was getting stock recovery from samsung. So i decided that recovery is locked somehow and i need to load insecure boot first. Am i right?

First I'm thinking your going to need to root your device. Start HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33854391
Yes you can load TWRP onto your firmware with Odin. Hopefully that was a tar file you were using!! Because if not that's why it didn't work for you!
I only really use Odin if I run into a BIG problem or need too return to fully stock firmware!!
Since it didn't work right with Odin.
After you root your device then all you'll need to do is install goo manager, install open recovery from there done.
TWRP found HERE :

TWRP needs root...or it won't persist after boot ..
Run CF auto root....
Allow the device to boot itself ...
Then power down and enter download mode and flash your custom recovery ....g

thank you. now the 2nd question is how to prevent this error. unsecure bootloader?

I don't have the answer to your 2nd query. I haven't yet attempted to root my phone.
I can only suggest to try again after unbricking, or use a different rooting method...
I'll leave this question to more experienced people here.

I already posted an inquiry to another thread. hopefully there is a simple way to load an unsecure bootloader, or a simple guide.

Have you unlocked the bootloader after rooting?i know,stupid question from me,but i have to be sure. Of course you unlocked the bootloader,because otherwise root is pretty useless,since you can't flash cwm and uninstall some system apps without having those issues you mentioned.

Unable to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.4.2

I have a Tmobile LTE Deb, it has 4.4, rooted with TWRP recovery. I received 4.4.2 OTA tonight, clicked reboot and upgrade, it went to TWRP but failed to upgrade, it went so quick, I couldn't see an error, I don't know where the OTA was downloaded to. So I downloaded 4.4.2 zip for LTE upgrade from the thread here, when I tried to flash it from TWRP, I received this weird error "This package is for DEB devices, this device is a FLO". I downloaded again, reinstall, same error. My device is a deb as you can see from the attachment. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's the download for 4.4.2 from 4.4.1, and you still have 4.4. You can download the KRT16S to KOT49H or go from KRT16S to KOT49E then KOT49E to KOT49H. Go here

You're probably using a recovery made for flo. Download the one for deb and you should be good to go.

You're right on. Somehow the root toolkit flashed wrong TWRP. I flashed TWRP for Deb and it is good to go. Thanks a bunch!

Did you try to root or flash a zip? How did you attempt to upgrade to 4.4.2? Did you ODIN or flash the zip?

Just tried to update with the original Sammobile firmware

Pretty sure you flashed the wrong thing if you got it from here, this is the Sprint forum, and judging by your signature you have the TMo variant... and now you're probably screwed because you can't downgrade your firmware. Read read read, and don't flash stuff that's not for your phone.

could he not go into download mode and try to flash his stock rom?

No because he flashed the 4.4 Bootloader and they don't have 4.4 yet, so flashing the 4.3 firmware will brick it... He should be able to Odin a recovery and wipe everything and flash a new ROM.
