[Q] Cant boot into recovery - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Help me please. I am on a stock rooted kitkat rom. I tried to update my TWRP recovery to 2.7. Now I cant boot into recovery at all. The only way I can boot my phone up is by going into download mode and then cancelling it. I have tried CWM thru Rom Manager. I have tried different versions of TWRP, and Philz thru flashify. everything says it flashes correctly but I cant get to recovery. I am on a Tmobile Note 3 with 4.3 bootloader and a stock, deodexed rooted rom.

Try to flash the recovery with odin

Twrp 2.7 is meant for the 4.4 bootloader. This could be why you can't get in.
Use twrp 2.6 series in order to use with 4.3
Edit: I just re-read your post. You are using the 4.3 bootloader and running a dehisces 4.4 ROM? The above still stands, just want to know.

Nice. And glad you figured out that "dehicsces" was meant to say deodexed. Damn auto correct.

odin recovery question

I just got a Note 2 and downloaded Odin and a TWRP recovery and tried to flash it but it doesn't say succeed until two minutes later after the phone completely reboots. When I reboot into recovery its still the stock recovery.

Did u root it before you flashed recovery? You didn't mention it. That needs to be done first

Didn't need to. I got it to work. I unchecked auto-reboot and it worked. All I did was flash the TWRP .tar and flash a rom. Rooting first was not needed.
Agreed...
Root is not needed if a user wishes to:
Make a pure stock backup....or current rom backup...
Flash another rom that already contains root...
Recovery is generally only needed for those functions anyway...(that's 90% of my time spent there)...
Everything else is a bonus....courtesy of our generous development team....g
Anyone know where I can get the most recent stock system and stock recovery tars to flash in Odin or what they're called? I have to go back to full stock.

Do I need to restore to stock to go back to touchwiz?

I am trying to go from cm10.1 to a 4.3 ge ROM and for some reason I can flash and get it to work buf once i reboot the phone i get stuck in a boot loop. Ive tried a few different 4.3 roms and always get the the same boot loop after rebooting.
Am i doing something wrong? (wipe/factory reset and format. Then flash rom)

Read around and found that it is twrp giving me problems. Is there a way to flash cwm via twrp?

Yeah. Just use a flashable CWM.zip rather than a Odin flashable .tar.
Also, it's TWRP 2.6 that is casuing problems. TWRP 2.5.2 works fine. You can find the download for that in the TWRP thread in the DEV section. You'll have to search the thread, but it's in there.

Yes, just get the zipped version of CWM, and it should be installable thru TWRP. Flash it the same as anything else.
I cannot find either the cwm zip or twrp 2.5.2

The flashable CWM zip is buried in the CWM development thread, not in the OP. As far as TWRP 2.5.0.2, the Odin flashable tar and .img is here.

Help! Installing new ROMS

Hi
I have a Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M, which is already rooted and running 4.1.2. I just tried installing new ROMs on it via TWRP. First I tried Omni Rom kit Kat, then CM11, then CM 10.2, as well as 10.1. Every time it didn't work. I loaded the ROM and the corresponding GAPPS via SD card, wiped data, system, dalvik, cache, then tried installing from ZIP. I don't know why none of them worked. I read Omni ROM may not, and may only work on the ATT S3, but CM10 not working? I softbricked the phone a few times in the process, but was smart enough to back it up, and am currently at square one. Can someone help please?
I want CM11, or better yet Kit Kat!
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have the latest version of TWRP, 2.6. something

I had problems installing Roms too until I flashed the latest CWM.
Also, I don't recommend updating your ROM to stock 4.3 unless you have to.
I tried with CWM and got a status 7 error

What version of CWM are you using? You should be on 6.0.4.5.
I am using CWM 6.0.4.5

What errors are you getting during installation? You have a i747m or i747? The d2att is the i747 (i.e. s3 on AT&T)
I am getting status 7. I have the Rogers I747M, but the d2att I heard works for the M model as well.

Does the phone need to be unlocked? Does it have to do with the bootloader?

Under About Phone, what device do you have? Is it d2att?
I have SGH-I747M. Baseband version 4.1.2
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
So you're running a Bell or Rogers version of stock rooted 4.1.2?
I think so, pretty sure it's stock. Yes, it's rooted

I was on stock 4.1.2 and flashed to a stock 4.1.1, unlocked the phone using a free method and went back to stock 4.1.2.
I'm not sure why you're having problems. I flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM from here for my Bell s3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I then loaded Philz Touch Recovery and was able to flash Cyanfox, CM11, and Validus13 which are all based on 4.4.2.
I would avoid 4.3 bootloaders.
So it may be because the phone is locked? That seems to be the only difference between yours and mine. That and Philz touch recovery, but does the recovery program matter? I tried these ROMS with TWRP and CWM. Both latest versions

You mean carrier locked? That shouldn't make a difference.
Since you're on stock 4.1.2 and have never been on stock 4.3, you could also flash the 4.1.1 stock rom, carrier unlock your phone, flash Philz, and then try to flash a rom.

You mean unlocked from the carrier? If you're saying being carrier locked is not relevant to flashing a new ROM, then the only difference is that you used Philz recovery. Man, I just want some KitKat already on my phone. The bootloader wouldn't have anything to do with this?

If you're on stock 4.1.2, you should be fine. I had problems flashing with TWRP so I went with the latest release of Philz. I was able to flash 3 different KK ROMs.
Okay. I'm going to try Philz. Is there a good KK ROM you recommend? Also where can I find the Gapps for KK? I got it somewhere before, but I can't find it on goo
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Which version of Philz do you use?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Get the tar or zip version from here. Tar can be flashed in Odin under PDA and the zip can be flashed from another custom recovery: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att
More details and and installation instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
I like Cyanfox myself. You can download it from here: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=d2att/

[Q] Clueless at the moment

Ive looked thru the forums i apologize if i missed it. Ive got a sprint samsung galaxy note 2 running 4.3 ive tried to root and install a custom recovery using the toolkit, but it doesnt seem to take the custom recovery. if anybody could please help me.
I haven't tried rooting since 4.1.2, but I used ToolKit to root and it installed a custom recovery. From there, I just flashed the recovery I preferred to use. Maybe be worth while try using ToolKit. I believe there is an option to just install new recovery.

So i know ive gotta flash one of these but which one? Sprint Samsung galaxy note 2 4.3
which ever one you prefer first. I use TWRP. Some use Philz, which is based on TWRP. From what I've read, it may be good idea to go with Philz over TWRP when and after converting to Android 4.3; something about TWRP not backing up or restoring correctly. Obviously there is still ClockWorkMod (CWM). I can't attest to it because I haven't used it in over two years.
Odin doesn't work either.....I've been having the same problem. Been wanting to root my note 2 for some time now but to no avail.

Hello, guys I just installed cwm through odin. The recovery works fine. .and I flashed the supersu zip file through the recovery and rebooted. I tried opening the supersu it says thus message. I have uploaded a photo. im using t-mobile kitkat 4.4.2. any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Use cf-auto root, you may have to be in stock recovery though I'm not sure, so flash back to stock just in case and then flash cf-auto root, after that you will be rooted.. Of course since you have a custom recovery you can also just flash a custom ROM if you wish
