After flashing the Omega Rom v23 over my installation of Omega rom v21, i noticed a lot of errors, so i decided to wipe my phone and install v23 again. i had TWRP recovery at the time, but it couldn't wipe. It constantly gave errors and said to many files were open and wouldn't let me wipe at all.
So i flashed N7100XXDME6_N7100DBTDME2_N7100XXDME4_HOME.tar and attempted to flash TWRP back on the device so i could install a custom rom. But now odin crashes whenever i try to install TWRP. I tried installing cf autoroot and then using goomanager to install recovery and flashing the rom and it said that it has flashed TWRP, but it was still stock recovery. I am completely clueless as to what to do and need help badly!
EDIT: I managed to flash TWRP using the zip-method from philz touch recovery. But now whenever i turn on my phone it goes directly to the recovery. I can only make it boot to android by chosing reboot into system in twrp.

I downloaded the latest OTA ATT update and then re-rooted and I cannot get CWM to stick. I unchecked auto reboot in Odin and pulled battery and booted into CWM. Installed superuser and rebooted. Now I can't get into CWM. I keep repeating the above steps but it seems that now anytime I reboot I lose CWM???? Thoughts?? I'm still running stock ROM.
There's something that has to be deleted when you Odin flash recovery. If you don't, it resets to stock when you reboot. Just use ROM manager to flash recovery, or use twrp to get away from stock recovery.

The OTA includes a script that is run every boot and that restores recovery to stock. You can remove that file by installing this zip in your custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1366357&d=1349037073. Install your custom recovery using ROM Manager or GooManager, reboot into recovery, install the zip, then reboot.
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
Trying to figure this out. Browsed forums for the last 24 hours, unable to come up with a way to figure it out. I was running Effortless rom, and older version that I can't remember, but it was on NF6 firmware. I wanted to play around with cm11 so I decided to flash back to stock NF6 then update to NF9 for the VOLTE update just to have it. So I triangled away, wiped then rooted and installed TWRP via ODIN, made a backup, everything went fine. Then I downloaded cm11 and gapps 4.4.4 and put them on my internal sd and went to flash in TWRP but cm11 was giving me errors. I figured it may have been TWRP so i decided to flash CWM but no go. It wouldn't stick. Tried again, no luck. Downloaded ROM Manager and this time I installed CWM through there. Tried rebooting in to recovery and ended up getting stuck in the "recovery booting" bootloop, so I flashed stock NF9(since I was on this firmware now) and tried installing CWM again, no luck. When I tried booting to recovery, it was stock NB4 recovery. I'm thinking that I'm stuck on an old bootloader and the recovery isn't NF9, which is the current stock recovery. I'm thinking that the reason why I'm unable to flash anything in TWRP/unable to install CWM at all is because of the stock recovery and possibly bootloader being NB4 for some reason while my baseband and build are both NF9. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

If I were you the first thing I would do is to ODIN flash TWRP recovery
and go from there.
Here is a direct download link for the latest odin flash twrp
custom recovery for the N900T Note 3:
https://app.box.com/AndroidShare
Once you get into twrp recovery do a complete wipe
which includes wipe data, system, cache, dalvik and
last but not least do a factory reset in twrp.
When that's done odin flash the official stock N900T NF9
firmware which can be found at http://SamMobile.com
After that's done you will need to odin flash cf-autoroot
and then odin flash twrp recovery again.
Here is the download link for cf-autoroot:
https://app.box.com/s/rgovggya5gkc51lc1uax
Then simply copy your favorite N900T zip file rom into
your internal sd and flash the N900T rom of your choice.
Be sure to do a full and complete wipe again before
flashing any custom roms.
Good luck!
I have a Samsung Galaxy G4 (T-Mobile version). I had a boot loop on Recovery problem with it. I reflashed the recovery a couple of times, TWRP and CM recovery. Neither wants to start up when I try to boot into recovery. (I have tried adb and using the keys.) Usually when I would flash a new kernel it would drop into recovery. When I upgraded to the nightlies, it went into recovery, installed the kernel, and rebooted.
Now I have a CM 13 kernel, but I am missing the proper gapps package.
Is there a way to install the gapps package with heimdall? Is there a trustable twrp app I can sideload? Is there a trick to get gapps to install with adb?
Looking for a useful solution. Thanks!
After flashing twrp using Odin, are you immediately trying to boot into recovery or are you restarting the phone and booting the rom?
I have rooted my Samsung Tab 3 SM T-110 running kitkat 4.4.2 an year back and flashed CWM but i forgot about it so what i did was flashed CWM again but it didn't flashed properly i guess and i didn't remember that i installed CWM instead of TWRP so after downloading CWM ROM Manager i rather selected TWRP... Then i booted into recovery mode through the ROM Manager app and now i am not able to go back to system.... I have tried factory reset and formatting dalvik cache but nothing seems to work, the phone gets back to the recovery screen... Please Help.
Thank You
install latest recovery for your device and flash it using odin.
Should fix your issue and boot your device to touchwiz
On the SM-T110/111 is only allowed to Boot Ingo Recovery with the Button Combi, if you try an automaticly Reboot by APP you have an Bootloop to the Recovery
