I had to return to stock Rooted just fine. I used flashify before and had no problems, but this time when I hit the button to download TWRP, I just get a spinning circle. Nothing happens. Has anyone else experienced this? Suggestions?

try downloading twrp manually from their website, and then choose the file manually in flashify
I have checked their website. I see TWRP for the 10.1 lte version, but not for the wifi version, which is what I have.

I used goo manager to download and install the latest recovery. Every time I go to boot into recovery it gets to the load screen where the blue letters are at the top but then it vibrates two or three times then reboots the phone like normal. My phone is rooted but not sure why it's doing this....help would be appreciated.

Have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin?
Have you tried to install twrp again?
Try installing cwm (you can use the ROM manager app) and see if that boots. Then try using too to install twrp again.

I haven't tried using Odin yet. I will give that a try. I was hoping I could do it without having to use a computer. I have tried reinstalling twrp using goo manager without success.

Switch to cwm to make sure the recovery partition of the storage is okay. Install cwm via the ROM manager app and make sure you can get into SOME recovery. Then try to install twrp again from too. Switching to another recovery was an important step in that process.

Finally got twrp installed! Goo manager and Rom manager did not work for me....they both would not boot into recovery. I had to use Odin mobile and install the recovery then it would boot. Thank everyone that helped out. Hope this can help someone else.

This is a little late here, but I an others have had trouble booting into recovery after flashing ROMs like the leaked 4.3.
It behaved just like the above when I was trying to get into recovery to restore a nandriod - even after a battery pull for 1 minute. I put in into Download mode, then did a battery pull. After that, it went into recovery with no problem.
Note - if Goo Manager installed 2.5.0.3 - that could be part of the problem, as there are issues with it. I went back to 2.5.0.2.
I think some 4.3 roms make you loose root also read their op.

Omega 1.0 was the first one to indicate it was rooted - but it unrooted me. It was when I initially tried to restore a nandriod when I could not get into recovery. I had read about others not being able to get into recovery after flashing 4.3 also.
I'm tying to ROOT the virgin mobile galaxy s3 sph-l710. Every time I flash using odin it works and passes but when I go to reboot in recovery its just the stock recovery. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Root and recovery are two separate things. If you have Root, you can try downloading GooManager from the Play store and then use "Install OpenRecoveryScript" from GooManager (use the three dots and it should be right there) to install TWRP.
Hey guys I just rooted my s3 using towelroot and then dl twrp app and attempted to install recovery when it was finished I rebooted to twrp recovery and it says there's nothing on my phone no data or anything. Before I rebooted the system to figure out what happened it told me there was no OS on the phone so now I'm stuck in twrp. What do I do? Do I have to have a computer or can I fix it using another phone and moving sd cards?? Please help

I've never used that app, does it auto select the recovery for you, or do you have to choose? If so which one did you try?
Did you wipe anything?
Have you tried to reboot even though it tells you there's no OS?
You may have to Odin the stock firmware. Yes you need a computer to do so.

Towelroot is a new way to root devices. I've only used it with my note 3. It only gives you root. And only downloaded twrp manager in play store and ran the install recovery script from inside the ago. I did all this because I don't have access to a computer right now. I was able to boot back into the phone without anything happening to it. Now I need to know why when I was in twrp recovery that twrp was not able to read or Mount any of my data or partitions...?

You can use Towelroot for the S3 too. I have a thread about it in the General section.
As for the recovery issues, I'm not sure. What model is your device? What firmware is it running and what version of TWRP is installed? (I think the latest is 2.8.0.1. Try both that and 2.6.3.1.) You can get the recovery from my signature.
If those don't work, try philz recovery instead.

I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 11 ROM+kernel and I'm running into an issue. When installing the ROM from the micro SD card, I get an error in the file itself and it also says "Status 7" and then "Installation aborted".
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've tried a couple of other roms and it's doing exactly the same thing. I've already installed the latest Blaze radio since I'm using T-Mobile on the device.
Any help to get this thing up an going is greatly appreciated! The last ROM that was just in here kept crashing all the time, even after a fresh restore it would crash while trying to install it's initial programs.
No ideas?
What recovery are you using? Try TWRP 2.8.1.0
The newer roms will fail to flash if you're using an older recovery.

Yep, that's probably the problem. TWRP's website is teamw.in.

Not sure, it's been a long time since I flashed the ROM on there. How can I check?

Just boot into your recovery. If you're using TWRP, you'll see a splash logo that says TeamWin.
The screen after that will show your version at the top of the screen. You can update it if necessary at teamw.in

Turns out it has CWM v5.0.2.6. Is this outdated and won't work either? Also I have problems trying to download Odin on Windows 8.1. The damn OS blocks the file from being downloaded to the computer. You guys have any idea how to stop this? I've tried even loading it from a SD card and it won't copy the file over.
Ok, thanks for the tip on installing the updated bootloader. Now I have CWM 6.0.4.3 for T-Mobile and installed the Blaze radio since I read it's the best for T-Mo.
I installed the latest version of LiquidSmooth 3.2 but it won't go past the splash screen. I see the animated water pouring and the words Liquid Smooth but it doesn't go past that and just reboots into the same thing.
Seems like I'm finally almost there but this damn thing is fighting every step of the way! What am I doing wrong?
Nevermind, seems like I finally got it.
Had to clear out caches, format memory, and all the erasing jazz each twice. Finally working now!
Thanks for the help guys!!!
Hey I just picked up a refirbished Tab 12.2 and it came pre installed with NK1 software. I was able to root using the CF Auto Root SM-P900, but now i cannot get a custom recovery to stick.
I got CWM installed successfully, but it would not make a backup. It kept rebooting while it was trying to backup the data or the system.
Whenever I try install TWRP it succesfully flashes in either ODIN or Flashify, but when i try to boot into it it fails and just the tablet just goes into a bootloop.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
