[Q]Bootloop into recovery - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So after i flashed a rom on my P5200 i always bootloop to TWRP
and i tried to wipe all data but no use
so please someone help me
oh and i can access download mode

TWRP causes problems...at least it did mine.. Restore the backup (hopefully you made one) with TWRP and flash a different recovery, like clockwork mod (CWM).

i did not do a backup !!!
what should i do?

Power it off completely boot up in Download mode. Then connect it to the PC and use Odin to flash CWM on it.
For future reference, always make a backup before you do ANYTHING.

Apparently you don't have custom recovery installed, flash it first.
fastboot flash recovery *name of the recovery*.img
After that you can boot into custom recovery and start flashing stuff Make sure you do a nandroid backup

Im pretty sure your rom that you are running is corrupted, this has happened to me
when this happens recovery will not let you run that ROM. So it will
keep rebooting into recovery. Try this, go into recovery Wipe Data,Cache and Dalvik
then reboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing a Rom.
my rom is the orginal sumsung rom that came with the device only rooted.
i will try wiping the data/cach/dalvik and then maybe restore an old backup that i have.
thanks for the advice.
well it didnt work.
i also tried to recover a working version of my rom and still boot loop to recovery.
plus when i power it off and connect the power cord it startup automaticaly to recovery.

I think The onlyest way is to flash a Stockrom to your Tab.
Then try to flash a Recovery to your Tab again, but i prefere CWM or Philz Touch not TWRP.
maybe i should install philz on top of twrp and then restore old backup?
i dont think i can get the orignal frimware form samsung in my country.

The prob is, only with CWM or Philz you restore Backups froh there, is The backup froh TWRP you need TWRP as Recovery.
Download from sam The Version what is in The box .
well i found the orginal rom in .img file at samfirmware. i belive its pure stock - i know that someone of you can confrim this - but how to i flash it?
i belive is with odin buth as for the instracion. is it like flashin recovery with odin? if so i will follow that instracation and give it a go.
I have the same problem, did anybody figure this out?
ended up just reflashing the stock rom from odin instead of twrp and it worked.

So I've done this before, attempting to install a different type of ROM, the only way to repair this is to return to stock via Odin. Download the stock rom in the 10.1 dev thread, reboot into download, and flash via Odin.

Problem with twrp recovey

Hi. I am rooted s-off and unlocked with sunshine and I wanted a custom recovery so I tried after downloading the right one for my m8 to flash it with flasify app from the play store cause I had no luck with fastboot from the computer. Now I am at the state when I boot at recovery it shows the twrp but when I hit the button to do a nandroid back up it fails can't do it. Any idea why is that and what can I do? Can I flash with flasify cwm recovery over the other or better how I return to stock recovery to start over to have better luck?
Any help will be much appreciated cause I am new to all that[emoji6]
Use Philz to backup your Rom...known issue that some devices can't backup with twrp

[Q] Recovery not working.

Redmi 1s.. v45 rooted.
I have TWRP 2.8.0 recovery. I can enter in the recovery. But...
1) can't install any zip(tried to install zip of stock recovery and cwm. It shows successful but again boots in twrp recovery)
2) can't backup(it shows backup is successful but no folder or file is created as a backup)
3)tried fixing root permission... But it takes forever to complete the process)
If this can be fixed plz help...... Other thing i did is...
I tried to flash rom in fastboot...
Using Miflash.... An error is displayed.... Can't flash the rom too.
Thanks
There's some problem with the recovery i guess. Try using fastboot recovery to flash the latest version and an rom

I installed CWM recovery via fastboot. Now everything is fine.:angel:
But in TWRP I used to see "simulating actions" while performing backup or installing zips.
Didn't get that.
Cwm touch recovery
Everytime im tryig to backup rom , via cwm , it says cant mount backup path.. I installed stock recovery updating via updater then formatted my internal sd , flashed cwm again,, tried back up again didnt work.. Any help?
I had problems with Custom Roms in CWM but for me TWRP worked well. But you can try Philz recovery.

Hope this will solve your problem.

I had exactly the same problem.
It turned out that the problem is in the TWRP settings. Uncheck the Simulate bla...bla...bla...

That is recovery. It is the stock recovery. You can only make images with custom recovery like twrp. You have to install twrp recovery with odin.
Are you trying to make a backup of your system? You can only do any of that in custom recovery. I don't understand what you mean by "make a recovery image". It doesn't mean the same thing as it does in Windows. Making a recovery image in Android is making a copy of the recovery system itself in image form, or creating one.
Those options you see on screen, that IS Android stock recovery. It's options are limited.
I think when you say you want to make a recovery image, you really mean you want to create a nandroid backup of your system. Which is a sort of " snapshot" of your system right now that can be restored later to go back to that point.
yes, you are correct. i am trying to make a nandroid back up. I have installed clockwork rom manager and twrp from the android market, maybe i need to install it using odin. I will look for a tutorial on that. I want to try marshmallow and a couple of other roms, but i want to make sure i have a good backup ya know. Thank you for the reply

Rom manager and twrp manager are just apps. They can only install the actual recovery system on a rooted device. If not rooted, you must use odin.
Download odin on your PC. Then download a .tar of twrp recovery from their site twrp.me
Use odin to flash twrp onto your phone.
