I'm trying to put a rom on a tm-sm217s
i flash twrp, boot right to recovery and flash the rom.
no dice. it boots right back to the stock sprint touchwiz rom. however, there are some odd app- that would be with the non-samsung rom now installed. they don't work- no root.
go to boot back to recovery, can't need to goto bootloader and reflash twrp.
any ideas wtf i'm doing wrong?

I am trying to flash CWM Touch Recovery on my Sprint GNex. I downloaded the GNex toolkit to use some of its functions. I open the toolkit, and go to flash CWM or TWRP. I have TWRP as of now. When I select the option to flash a recovery, the message appears at the top:
If you are flashing Custom Recovery on a Stock Samsung Rom you MUST rename the Recovery Restore files [option 5] BEFORE you boot back into Android or your Stock Recovery Image will be restored to the phone and you will lose Custom Recovery.
As of now, I have Paranoid Android Hybrid ROM running. Is this a Samsung stock ROM? Do I need to do what those directions say or can I just select the option to flash, and then flash?
no you won't need to worry, it's not stock ROM. =)
Ok thanks, and now I get stuck at < waiting for device >
Do I need to be in recovery or something? I am just at homescreen now.
Edit: NVM it says Fastboot mode. Lol
Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards
I tried to unroot my phone after getting stuck in a cyanogen bootloop a while back. I managed to get into recovery and install stock firmware via Odin. I did not however install the stock kernel or stock recovery. I am now in a stock t-mobile bootloop. I'm not sure what to do, I have been unable to get into recovery thus far, but I can keep trying. What can I do?

Can you get in Download mode? To work with Odin you must be in Download mode, not recovery.
If you can get in Download mode, then start Odin and flash a TWRP Odin flashable recovery:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101
Then at least you should have a functional recovery. From there you could either try to flash your stock ROM again, or any another ROM.
Are you 100% sure what you flashed was a good stock ROM for the T989 ?
Dont you have a nandroid you could restore?
I rooted, installed TWRP and was running a custom ROM for awhile. I wanted to go back to stock, went into recovery wiped everything and restored my stock backup, now it won't boot or go into recovery, just says [4750]Fastboot node started. I need help
OK, I managed to get back into recovery TWRP and re-installed my custom ROM but now I get google FCs, I can't do anything. I have other ROMs and stock zip but I don't know how to use ADB, I never worked with it, could someone help me with using adp?

since you can get into recovery, flash stock ROM with bootstack. Don't restore backup! Start fresh and see how it works out. Don't forget to flash SU and twrp just for good measure.
My tab was running stock 5.1.1 rooted and twrp
I flashed the cm-12.1-20160501-NIGHTLY-lt03wifi to check it out, and it was giving me issues so I booted it up in download mode and reflashed P600UEUCNI1_P600XARCNI1_HOME.tar.md5
and now its just sitting at the samsung loading screen .
I cant seem to get it into any type of recovery mode, only download mode.
anyone have any ideas on what i can try to do to get it booting again?
Ok correction i am able to boot into recovery mode.
Ok i was able to get into recovery mode finally..
I reflashed the cm12.1 zip and that is booting.. but still having issues ... it rebooted after doing the initial setup..
I would love to get back to a stock type rom...
You're gonna need to boot into recovery and wipe data & cache.

I was able to get it booting CM again, but i really would like to go back to the stock rom, but flashing it via odin doesnt seem to work, that when i get stuck at the sumsung screen..
now i was thinking this might be because twrp is still the recovery and not the stock. so i need to find the stock recovery to put back and try that i guess
If you're flashing stock firmware, it should replace TWRP with stock recovery.
You're also going to need to wipe data & cache almost any time you are switching ROMs (and definitely if you are switching between stock & CM).

Thats what i thought too about the recovery.img
so you think i should wipe data/cache in trwp then reboot it back to download mode and flash via odin?
