Lost TWRP since flashing to 5.0 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded to Skins rooted ROM and I've just tried to jump back into recovery to flash the latest Androidnow HD to discover that I no longer have TWRP installed, I flashed the new TWRP with modem support and tried again (Using Quickboot, Flashify and manual reboot - Quickboot/Flashify don't work at all and manual reboot takes me to the hard reset menu)
How can I sort this out? Cheers.

If i want to access twrp i have to go to the factory reset dialog(2 times yes) it doesn't delete anything even thogh it says so.

[Q] Galaxy S3 doesn't boot

I have Galaxy S3 on which I have CyanogenMod. I was on vacation in Poland last summer and I got there my Rogers Galaxy S3 phone unlocked and polish language CyanogenMod ver 10.0 was installed . It worked fine since. Recently, I installed few game for my grandson. Right after I found that it took longer time to boot a phone. Then I started to get a message after rebooting, "System process didn't start" with option to click "Wait" or "OK". When I clicked OK phone was slowly booting and finally was fully operational. Every new reboot took longer and longer with the same message, "system process didn't start" click "wait" or "ok".
Finally it stopped to boot. When I power on a phone it starts booting and get to same message as before. I click "wait" and nothing happen, or I click "ok" and still nothing happen. Then phone reboots itself and keep doing it.... Doesn't boot anymore to application.
What I can try to do to fix it? I am pretty new to this "rooting" "Odin'...etc so if you have an advice please communicate it as simply ans possible.
Any help appreciated
Thank you
Boot into recovery and flash a newversion or same version of CM 10 or CM10.1 (Either one is good or you could pick a whole new ROM up to you). Make sure you follow the instruction of the ROMs thread for how to install. To get to recovery you hold the volume up + home button + power untill it boots to recovery and from there follow ROM instructions.

Before you install any ROM be sure to do a factory/reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition and format system, and don't worry about doing everything twice, especially if you are coming from a TW ROM and going to a CM type ROM. If you don't start off with a clean slate you may have some "ghosts" left over.

How I can do factory reset if I can't boot to anything except a download mode? Do I need to install new ROM first and then do factory reset or there is other way to get to factory reset option without loading new ROM?

If you can't into recovery and download mode is your only option, use odin to flash stock ROM on your phone.

TWRP password?

I've been having some trouble trying to boot the latest AOKP for some reason, clean install didn't work so I restored a backup from recovery. After that, TWRP asked me for a password soon as I got into recovery. This is the first time I've seen this..and I figure that reflashing the recovery should be all I need to do, then I should be able to reflash AOKP and enjoy, right? Problem is, I can't find a .tar file as goo.im doesn't appear to want to give me the file. :crying:
So before I spend the rest of my day off on a wild chase for a simple file, can anyone tell me if I'm going about this the right way? My searching the issue hasn't yielded much in the way of results. Just want to get my phone back up and running!
EDIT:
I wasn't being clear enough. Despite restoring my backup, it force closed one thing or another every few seconds so I went to recovery to reflash. That's when things failed because of this password. I'm limited to download and recovery modes now, which isn't bad except for I still can't find a .tar to flash via Odin.
Reflashing TWRP hasn't resolved the password issue. Looks like I need to find a new angle..
what version are you on? did you just flash that same version?
Was at 2.5.0.0, and yes I reflashed the same one. I can't remember which version I was on before this one. Any recommendations?
perhaps revert to the previous release. if you're d2att, here's the link to the 2.4.4.0 tar
This version throws the same password prompt. I never set a password for this..didn't even know it was an option

Just went through trying different versions all the way back to 2.3.3.1 which I know I used for quite a while without any trouble. I want to try CWM but I can't find it in .tar form, just .img
WOW!! I found CWM version 5.8.4.7 on my computer's HDD, and so I flashed it. CWM wouldn't mount my external sd card where my ROM zips are. Got tired of messing with that and so I flashed back TWRP and it came back with the same password prompt. Great... Guess I'm flashing back to stock and starting over.

follow this link to the root from recovery thread. download the root kit and flash the recovery.tar.md5 file. its an older cwm so after flashing, you have the option to download and flash a recovery flashable twrp zip (to see if that fixed the password issue) or remain on cwm and download/flash a new release
follow the link in my signature. at the bottom of post #2 are the download links for the latest releases to both cwm and twrp. flash in recovery, go to advanced and reboot recovery. presto

Thanks for that. Flashed a CWM 6.0.3.1 flashable zip after that, and now it's giving me an error trying to flash my ROM zip.. Status 7. Going to try redownloading it..
Update: "Install from sdcard complete." Was starting to think I'd never see those words. I'm sure it'll work now. Thanks so much for your time!
Grrr...It's still doing the same thing that started this adventure. Gets stuck at the underwear kernel loading screen and won't boot up.
CWM and TWRP nandroids are different. If you make a backup with TWRP you cant restore with CWM, and vice versa.
if you're still getting stuck on the loading screen, wipe data/factory reset in recovery and wipe cache. reboot and see if that fixes your issue

I've tried this many times, nothing's working. I got fed up and used ODIN to go back to stock, and now even THAT won't boot. Went to download, again flashed CWM and tried wiping cache, did a factory reset and fixed permissions. It STILL won't boot. I can't figure out what I did wrong to save my life. This all started with the same wipe procedures I always take when updating AOKP. I'm completely lost right now..
Maybe I spoke too soon. It went from the Samsung GSIII logo to the AT&T logo with startup sound after a long time..now it's sitting here at Samsung for..a long time. Maybe I haven't been giving it enough time.
When you use ODIN to flash back to stock, you usually have to boot into stock (not custom) recovery to wipe data and wipe cache. Otherwise the phone sits at the Samsung logo.

So, boot into download mode and that will wipe cache? I'm not sure I understand. And you were right, it hasn't progressed past the samsun logo.
No, boot into the stock recovery mode that comes on the device. Don't flash the stock firmware and then flash cwm in order to wipe data and wipe cache. Just flash stock in ODIN with the auto reboot box unticked, when you get the PASS, unplug, pull battery, replace and immediately press the recovery mode button combo. This will place you in stock (Samsung) recovery. That's when you wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Reboot. It will take a few minutes to boot initially

Will report in a few minutes. Thanks again for taking the time to help =)
When I went to recovery it showed the android guy with the little gearboxes. I guess that's what I was looking for? It rebooted by itself and now I'm just waiting for it.
Yup, that's what stock recovery looks like. Were you able to wipe data and cache before the reboot?

SGH-i317M TWRP Issues (unable to boot into OS, Loops Recovery)

Soo.. I decided to install Cynogen Mod 5.1.1 onto the Note 2. And, All worked fine....
But here is an issue. A while back I had to unlock the phone, which required me to install TWRP.. Now the issue is i think i installed it into the Boot instead of recovery.. So now whenever i select ANY power option in TWRP, the phone restarts into TWRP again.. Now, All i had to do was just do a battery pull and all was good.. Except for now..
I tried to update CM through TWRP, but it did something and now the phone boots into TWRP no matter what. I got the Android universal toolkit or whatever running and trying to fix the boot.img, But have been unsuccessful so far..
So, Any help that i can get would be appreciated.
Things I have done:
1. Reflashed boot.img with original.
2. Reflashed recovery with newer twrp
3. Factory reset, formated/
4. Installed backup with 4.4.2 installed still
5. Googled everything

AFTER 5 HOURS OF WORK I FIXED IT!
I reinstalled the Original recovery. Then rebooted, and it all worked.. 1:02 AM and tired as heck....
Can you tell me how you installed the original recovery? I did the same thing and now all my phone boots into is TWRP.
Alright.. It's a bit of a Google.. But you gotta find the original recovery for the phone on the web.. The recovery for the gt-n100 or whatever works. So look for that.

How to enter recovery mode?

I've followed youtube videos and other sites to enter recovery mode but all i get is an option to factory reset or to exit. I've held down the volume down and power key together until the LG logo appears and then let go of the power key after a second.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

What android version are you running? And how did you install the recovery img? And which one? If you installed the recovery properly and want to enter via hardware buttons it's the correct procedure.
--> If you're in the LG Stock recovery (where it asks you if you want to wipe your phone) just click yes twice and you'll boot into TWRP or clockworkmod (Whatever you've installed). I know that's a dumb way but it works
Note: If you didn't install the recovery correctly you will then wipe your phone!!!
To find out if you've done everything correctly with your recovery (and if you're rooted) just use the app Quick Boot from the play store, grant permissions and reboot into recovery. If you've done everything correctly you will be in recovery mode then And you can be sure that everything is setup correctly and use the hardware button method to access recovery (Just like I told you).

I'm on MM without a custom recovery., I'm hoping to just get into stock recovery and wipe cache partition. Is there even a stock recovery? Maybe factory reset yes/no is all there is?

Nope and yes - There's only the option to factory reset if you don't have a custom recovery installed. Sorry to bear the bad news I thought you had a custom Recovery installed and don't know how to enter it. There's no stock-like recovery to access on the G4. Sorry :crying:

Do this, install lgup on pc, plug in usb, start lgup, let it detect on com port, click com port, ui will open, then click pbone info, it establishes avalid usb connection to phone, when it has, start adb prompt and type ' adb flash recovery (recovery image name) when done type adb reboot recovery and you're in recovery.
Just remember twrp recovery image must be in same folder as adb istalled to)

does this work on stock MM 20A or 20B without unlocking bootloader. i'd do it even if its just temporary to wipe cache and return to stock recovery after the wipe. factory reset just is too much to start from scratch with installs and setups. i am Never Buying a LG phone ever. it was my mistake
I have an unlocked bootloader, twrp (2.8.7), root and on MM V20a, Stock.
I can boot into revocery via adb reboot bootloader / fastboot recovery boot twrp, all works fine (excecpt that I cant access the external exfat sd card with cm12/cm13 based roms).
But I cant boot with Power on /Vol down keys intoTWRP recovery.
Altough I can boot in LG factory reset menu but if I perform that it wipe indeed to facotory reset no way to reboot in recovery.
I try it a couple of time without success. Also I try differnt key combinations (Power on / Vol Up + Vol down etc.), around 15 times.
Also I cant use tools like "Quick Boot" I try 4 or 5 diverents the result is always the same - android on the back with open hatch.
When I try to boot on CM12/CM13 via Power Menu directly to recovery the same effect occurs.
Whats gos wrong? Where is my mistake?
If you flashed TWRP, the "LG Factory Reset" menu will still show up. Just confirm 2 times with yes there, and TWRP will get started . Bit confusing, I know.

As I wrote - when I do this a factory reset is performed - no recovery.
Thats is my problem and unfortunately not the solution.

SuperSU/TWRP boot issue

Hi to everyone.
I have a LG G4 H815, unlocked bootloader, with CyanogenMod 14.1 Rom
I wanted to update the SuperSU database, I try what they called the "normal" mode but it didn't work.
Then I tried the TWRP mode, the phone booted into Recovery and install a script named OpenRecoveryScript or something like that.
Since the phone is stucked on Cyanogen Animation Boot.
Does Anyone have an idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks a lot.
Get into TWRP, factory reset, and restore back to a previous save. If you don't have that, you'll have to factory reset and reinstall CM.

LGUP and KDZ. refurbished option. reinstall recovery again.
If LGUP and KDZ doesn't work, install LG Bridge on your computer. Use the stock charging cable and plug it into the PC. Power off your phone and hold Vol+ and plug in the the micro USB to the phone. It should boot into download mode and your computer should install drivers and LG Bridge should recognize the device. Use LG Bridge to update your phone to the latest official build. After that, follow the standard instructions to install TWRP.

Why? Do you have twrp installed? If YES use the hardware key combo to go into factory reset! If you see the white background with the question for factory reset follow the instructions there to do so.
If.... I say IF ! you have twrp installed this will NOT do anything else then booting into twrp. From there you can install the supersu zip wiping dalvik or just restore a previous backup.
I re-install everything from KDZ and everything is fine now thanks
I had TWRP installed but didnt know why since the supersu update i totally lost access to the recovery.
Thanks again for your help
