I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 on Sprint. I'm trying to install CM11 4.4.2 but am having trouble. My phone is currently running 4.3 rooted (used cf autoroot and philz touch 6 w/ CWM 6.0.4.5.)
Here is the issue I'm having; I cannot install the CM11 rom, from the recovery (philz touch) screen it looks like it completes but the phone does not boot after installing the rom, but rather hangs the recovery screen logo and doesn't progress. From here I can reboot into recovery and restore my backup, The only backup I have is of 4.3 rooted. Also, I cannot install the OTA 4.4 update from sprint, which I thought I may need to do before installing CM11. When I try to install this update,the phone restarts into recovery and installs one package then asks if I want to install a package from an untrusted source, I hit yes the phone installs then restarts back into 4.3
I would like to update the phone to 4.4 and run the latest CM release, if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it

Hi,
I've rooted and unlocked my t989D. To do that I pushed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-hercules.tar via odin and then flashed SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Deodex_Rooted_signed and Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio to be at at 4.0.4 ROM and radio.
Now I want to upgrade to cm 10.2. I tried flashing it, and it required a newer radio, so i flashed Tmo_SGH-T989-UVMC6_radio. Then I reflashed cm 10.2 and the installation completed, but I only get a boot loop with the CM sign. I figured it was because I was using an old recovery. So I tried to flash a newer CWM (recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules), and that failed, so instead I pushed the latest TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-hercules.tar) via Odin. I'm in the same position as with the older version of CWM: I can boot recovery, I can successfully flash 10.2, but I get stuck in a boot loop with the CM sign. Can someone correct me? Id appreciate it if you could correct my logic as well plz.
Update:
I pushed the old CWM back (5.0.2.7), then flashed an older version of CM (9.1) and it got stuck in boot loops as well. I then flashed the stock 4.0.4 ROM back and it gets stuck in boot loops (during samsung logo). I then pushed TWRP 2.6.3 back and reflashed the stock 4.0.4 rom ROM and it boots
Basically, the only combination that well allow a full normal boot is TWRP 2.6.3 + stock 4.0.4 rom (SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Deodex_Rooted_signed)
Update 2:
Solution seems to be a dark side super wipe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
So far, this allows me to get 9.2 working. Haven't figured out how to get 10.2 going yet.
Install latest twrp recovery then use superwipe zip file (that is mention in your archive post) than install your rom.
As far as about your boot loop issue wipe your internal and external card than just put rom installation files in it.

I just tried to preform an OTA update to the latest CM11 nightly and so it installed it through Teamwin recovery and now it is just stuck at the Teamwin splash screen. I cannot boot into recovery but I can access the yellow downloading screen. Any Idea on what to do? Am I going to have to use Odin to revert the phone back to stock rom?
Flash back to Stock

I am pretty sure that happens if your Teamwin recovery is not new enough (I don't recall the required version). This happened to me as well.
My solution was to ODIN back to stock and install CWM (v5.0.2.7), CM11 will update it to v6.0.4.7. If I recall correctly I had to install the CM11 update twice (once for the CWM update and once to flash ROM)
Hope that helps

From what I know, the latest official TWRP (2.6.0.0) CAN NOT flash 4.4.x ROMs. Use CWM as included in CM nightlies, or try @unjust's 2.6.3.0 test build.

Just note, to install 4.4.2 roms you need on 4.2 STOCK, then flash newer recovery->flash it. Now just go to download mode and flash 4.2 STOCK via odin, flash CWM and 4.4.2 roms
Press thanks if my post helpful

Try to install the CWM mentioned in pawitp's CM11 thread. It should work for all Kitkat ROMs.
Another possible problem is incorrect driver installation or damaged USB cable, that maybe what's preventing your device to download from Odin.
I have Galaxy Note 2 AT&T SGH-i317 with Android 4.3. I keep getting OTA updates notice about 4.4.2 and it downloads it but install always fails. I have tried CWM, TWRP, and now using Philz Touch Recovery. Every ROM I try to load it always asks "install untrusted zip" and the phone never loads it--always reboots after the fail and then I have to setup phone again and install all apps again like new..ut it is still on Android 4.3 and not 4.4.2.
What do you guys suggest I try to get 4.4.2. I have tried Odin and flash custom roms and always the same--never loads it and reboots back to like new setup.
Do I need to go to original factory recovery or something? Thank you.
Guys I am facing this weird issue. Earlier I had TWRP installed on my nexus 7 with android 4.4.2 but since I was unable to install any OTA updates for 4.4.4 I figured maybe it was an issue with the TWRP so I wanted to get rid of it. I used One Click Factory Restore 4.4.4 KTU84P tool in the dev forums and it kinda did restore my tab to a stock version. The issue is now when I try to boot into recovery mode, it shows an error logo and seemingly there is no recovery installed. How do I go to stock recovery from here? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you mean by error logo, you see an image of an android on its back, that is recovery, stock recovery. You can still use the OTA with TWRP, so you pretty much wasted your time removing it, the only difference is with TWRP you have to flash the OTA manually (the OTA zip is located in /cache).
So reinstall the latest TWRP, and reroot, and have fun with 4.4.4.
If you want your device to be even more useful and future upgrades to be easier, instead of leaving normal TWRP on it, after rooting, install MultiROM along with its modified TWRP, and make your device even better.
