I am rooted with TWRP 2.7.0.2 installed. I can boot into TWRP using the Quickboot app, but not using the button combo (power+vol. down, when the logo appears release power, while still holding vol. down push power and vol. up). Does anyone know how to get into TWRP on the Verizon VK810 from a powered off device?
Just be super quick...(think power on/sound down - power off then all 3 at once. Recovery will display.
MAKE a recovery backup! Be safe.

Thanks for helping, Cal. No matter how quick I am, it just restarts to the logo, even if I start before I see the logo. If I hold the three buttons for a long time, I get the ieme screen to flash for about a second. Also, if I hold down the power and volume down for a long time I get stock "System Recovery", the one with the 4 options. From there I can either reboot, wipe cache, factory reset or power off.

Make sure you are shutdown. All must be off - Then start the button hold process to 'recovery'.

I've been doing that, to no avail. Curious thing, though. I booted into System Recovery by pushing the power+volume down. I was given 4 options. Factory reset, power off, wipe cache and safe boot. I use the volume rocker to get to "wipe cache", push power to select, and it takes me to TWRP. I can get there now from a powered off state, which is the goal, I just don't know why.

I had problems getting into recovery also. To resolve this issue, I just downloaded reboot recovery from the play store. Works like a charm.
spiceditup and cal, what device do you have? 500 does not equal vk810 unfortunately for us poor saps who sit under the verizon throne.

I use Quickboot. It works too. The thing is, if I ever have a boot loop or brick my device, I'll have no way to get into recovery with Quickboot.
Do you have TWRP installed and are you having the same problem I am, namely the button combo doesn't work?
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
As far as I know, the only way of getting into TWRP from a powered off state on the VK810 is by selecting an option from the stock recovery such as "Factory Reset". Wipe Cache performed the same thing, trying to pass a command off to the rest of the stock recovery, but since it's been replaced with TWRP, TWRP is simply loaded and the command (no matter if it's Factory Reset or Wipe Cache) isn't executed.
For example, it works the same way with the LG G3, at least on Verizon.

You're welcome! I was totally surprised the first time I found out my LG devices used that "stock recovery front end" and that you can't boot directly to custom recovery from power off. I meant to add that if anyone found I was full of bat guano to please correct anything I said.

First I would like to point out that I am a new to flashing. I rooted my phone last week by following the instructions on the xda wiki for my G2 and everything was fine. One thing that annoyed me was that Netflix no longer worked on my G2 so i downloaded a .zip file on these forums that was said to fix it. when my phone rebooted i had an all black screen almost as if i dont have a home launcher. i have a notification bar and when i go to the unlock screen i can see the wallpaper and such but when i unlock the slider everything goes back to black. Any idea why ?
Netflix not working is a well known problem but what steps did you take to run the patch
Btw I blacked my screen just lije you and it was because I forgot to wipe, so I recovered and did it the right way, you have a backup right?

Dude I think he's a little more worried about getting phone running correctly. Turn off phone, hold pwr and vol down, once in hboot press volume button down once so u can select recovery, in recovery wipe data/factory reset. Reflash rom from where ever its saved. Sure you hope you made a nandroid of your original rom.
As far as netflix. Obviously it works on froyo, but homestly everytime I have run the patch(correctly yes) with any gb based rom it will then play video but so choppy there really is no point in bothering..and I'm on a 40Mbps connection(phone right around 20Mbps) so that's not the issue.
However I started using coredroid today and after ran the patch netflix works better than it did on froyo...quite happy and its a pretty sick rom
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
My bad...I feel like an ass now. Its not a rom so you shouldn't have to wipe data/fac reset. I didn't do it for coredroid
But if you have the bigger issues you mentioned I would either flash your nandroid or if you are going to want something esle wipe all data/factory and dalvik..or even better get on a computer, download superwipe from dev section. Place on sd and flash that first
Sorry for jumping the gun hahaha

Noob here. I woke up this morning and my phone would no longer boot past the white screen with the words htcEVO4g on it. I am able to get to the bootloader screen, but am unsure of what I do when I'm there, to get a working phone. =P
Each time I select recovery from the BootLoader menu, it just goes back in to that boot loop. Turns on, quick vibrate, white htcEVO4g screen, then off again. Rinse and repeat.
Can someone tell me what I should do from here?
Thanks
Are you rooted with S-off?
If you are get a pc36img and put it on the root of your sd go into boot loader let it scan and it will ask if you want to update put yes and let it update. Tell me if it works
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Before you do that, just boot to recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache, then try to reboot.
I had that happen a few times with mine, in the past, and simply clearing the caches worked.

Thanks. The phone is rooted with S-off. I actually have two EVO 4G's. Me and my wifes. This phone here that is having issues is actually my wife's phone. So what I tried, was switching sdcards, and inserted my sdcard in her phone (because it has a different pc36img file on it) and tried it from there. Same thing. It just goes in to the boot loop. I will give this another shot though. I'll download another pc36img and try this again, just in case I did something wrong.

Unfortunately the phone prevents me from booting in to recovery. I can boot in to the bootloader by pressing the power button and the volume down button. However, from that menu, when I select recovery, it reboots, and promptly goes in to the boot loop, and never gets to recovery.
Maybe you don't have a recovery have you tried putting in a recovery?

I'm absolutely confused with how to root my SGH-T999 properly. I know I'm suppose to use the search function and read everything and anything before I post a thread, but I'm seriously overwhelmed with what's what.
So far, I'm trying to follow this guide, but when I go check the md5, it says it's not a match between the file I downloaded and the md5 # on the download page. I figured that since my phone is 4.1.1, I should use this image, but again, I try to check the md5 sums, but it comes out as not a match.
So I'm super paranoid that I might mess something up and brick my phone.
I'm betting you checked the md5 after extracting it. The md5 on the download page is for the file exactly as you downloaded it.
You don't have to worry about an update 'path'. You can get the latest and flash it as per the instructions.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Oh thank god. Yeah, I was checking the extracted file. Thanks for clearing that up.
One more question: Let's say I want to use CyanogenMod 10. Once I've rooted my phone with this method, I could get ClockworkMod recovery (via ROM Manager from the app store) and download the CM10 mod and install the CM10 that way?

Yes. Make sure you follow all the flashing instructions from the thread. You could also install goo manager and install TWRP and find roms through there as well

Yeah, you can use TWRP or CWM to flash roms. It's preference. You don't HAVE to have CWM to flash CM10.
I never used TWRP, but I'm absolutely content with CWM. Hasn't failed me once. Don't fix what's not broken, right?

Alright ****. I think I messed something up.
I installed ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. I then went through the options of rebooting it and installing. But now it's stuck at a spinning circle with "CyanogenMod" in the center. I have no idea what to do or how to get out of it. I've tried forcing it to power down by holding down the power button or doing the three button press (volume down, home and power), but either way, it just shuts down, vibrates a little and reboots itself back to the spinning logo screen.
EDIT: Ok so I've pulled the battery and went into recovery mode. Then I "wiped data/factory reset" and I think I got it to work now. It seems to be at the CM10 home screen now

Pull the battery. Once the screen is black. Put the battery back and boot into recovery(Vol up, home, and power).
When you installed CM10, did you factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?

Yeah. That's exactly what I did. Pulled the battery, put it back in, factory rest and wiped data. I'm not sure about the dalvik cache though. Once I got to the ClockworkMod recovery mode/screen, I just went to the "wipe data/factory reset option"
I'm unlocked and rooted on stock ROM. Turned off the N7 to charge and woke up to a boot loop. What should I do? I can go into recovery.
Do a factory reset through recovery.

Will do. Scared to power off my Nexus 7 now lol =]
Doing a factory reset in the recovery clearly states it only wipes the userdata, cache and dalvik cache - not your internal storage. I prefer to do everything my self manually instead of using ROM Manager, GooManager, Recovery Manager, Nandroid Manager, etc which makes a mess of my internal storage.
And it happened again.. This can't be normal. Anyway, did another wipe. no worries but this seems to be happening a lot with other users..

In case there is any confusion.
Factory reset through twrp will NOT wipe your virtual sdcard (ie /data/media)
Factory reset through stock recovery WILL wipe your virtual sdcard.

Hi,i am stuck at a point where i am on a red platform and if i jump down onto the floor below there is a switch whch saysaccess card required. however, i can not find a acess card and a large dog like creature runs from the next room and kills me, despite using all my weapons and running away. How do i move on :?: :?:
Your help would be most appreciated, thanks :
So, my rooted tab s was starting to run out of memory and I couldn't figure out what app was hogging all the memory. I also noticed that when I deleted apps and restarted the tablet, I would see the "android is optimizing apps" pop up and once loaded, my deleted apps would have been reinstalled. Wierd.
In my infinite wisdom, I decided to reboot into recovery and wipe it and restore my twrp backup. Well, I got ambitious and like an idiot, decided to pretty much check all the boxes on the advanced wipe. Got to the restoration step of my disaster. It fails. "error 255". Can't do anything. If I click on reboot system, I see "No OS Installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?"
I'm screwed aren't I? I am paying some hefty stupid tax I am sure.
Did you try flashing a fresh stock or any other rom, not a backup? It should fix it.

Not yet. Kind of afraid to turn it off to remove the SD card to do that. I need to find one and do that now. Thanks for saying that though, gives me hope that I haven't ruined it.
From what you have said seems like its not a big deal, so try flashing a proper stock rom first. You can find in many threads how to flash with Odin and twrp and what to wipe. Just follow the steps correctly and you should be fine.
