Flash the tar.md5 file using Odin, or
Flash the zip (if available) in CWM recovery, or
Extract the recovery.img file and use it in Flashify from the Play Store.

Stuck on TWRP first screen

Hi
I wanted for testing a personal theme on TWRP Recovery but I have a serious problem: I have a bootloop on the main blue screen.
I tried to force a reboot holding Power button, to go to download mode and restart... nothing works!
What can I do? Flash TWRP again? Factory firmware with PIT file?
The problem is a file called "ui.zip" in the folder /sdcard/TWRP/theme
Thanks!!!
EDIT
I can flash the PhilZ recovery from Odin to solve my problem I think.
EDIT2
Solved via PhilZ Recovery (flash with PC Odin)
That happened to me long time ago .. I re-flashed the recovery via Odin with latest TWRP and its all good..

This doesn't wipe the theme folder right? So the bootloop should be there again.
Anyway everything got back to normal thanks to PhilZ tar file.

Im pretty sure your rom that you are running is corrupted, this has happened to me
when this happens recovery will not let you run that ROM. So it will
keep rebooting into recovery. Try this, go into recovery Wipe Data,Cache and Dalvik
then reboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing a Rom.
my rom is the orginal sumsung rom that came with the device only rooted.
i will try wiping the data/cach/dalvik and then maybe restore an old backup that i have.
thanks for the advice.
well it didnt work.
i also tried to recover a working version of my rom and still boot loop to recovery.
plus when i power it off and connect the power cord it startup automaticaly to recovery.

I think The onlyest way is to flash a Stockrom to your Tab.
Then try to flash a Recovery to your Tab again, but i prefere CWM or Philz Touch not TWRP.
maybe i should install philz on top of twrp and then restore old backup?
i dont think i can get the orignal frimware form samsung in my country.

The prob is, only with CWM or Philz you restore Backups froh there, is The backup froh TWRP you need TWRP as Recovery.
Download from sam The Version what is in The box .
well i found the orginal rom in .img file at samfirmware. i belive its pure stock - i know that someone of you can confrim this - but how to i flash it?
i belive is with odin buth as for the instracion. is it like flashin recovery with odin? if so i will follow that instracation and give it a go.
I have the same problem, did anybody figure this out?
ended up just reflashing the stock rom from odin instead of twrp and it worked.

So I've done this before, attempting to install a different type of ROM, the only way to repair this is to return to stock via Odin. Download the stock rom in the 10.1 dev thread, reboot into download, and flash via Odin.

[Q] My T110 won't boot after installing CWM

So I followed the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674649 to install CWM and it went fine but when I got out of the CWM recovery menu and rebooted it just rebooted back into the recovery.
Then I guessed it was fine because I was going to install this rom anyway so I followed the instructions and did a factory reset and then tried to install the rom from the zip.
But then the installer failed saying "format() expects 5 args, got 4 - Installation aborted" and I'm stuck with just the recovery menu.
Does anybody know how to bring it back to life?

Thank you so much. This post should be mentioned in the troubleshooting or something I guess it's not that uncommon
EDIT: The ROM flashed correctly but it still loops into the recovery

one question, have you install the quick boot app?
I think the onlyest way for you is flash the stock rom with Odin.
full reboot
flash the recovery with Odin,after flash boot with the button comby into recovery and flash the superSu.zip from chainfire
reboot your tab
open SuperSu.app and you have got root
Dont install the Quick boot app !!!!!
That was the way what works for me.

I don't know what the quick boot app is so I guess I don't have it.
How do I flash a rom with odin and where do I get the superSu.zip from?
Solved
Okay I solved it.
I flashed the stock rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780068 (the full version no the lite)
using Philz Touch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50922322&postcount=4
And then I just rebooted the system and it took a long while but it finally went past the welcome logo and started fine

Unable to boot into recovery

I flashed a new rom yesterday and tried to go back and flash a kernel but I can't get into recovery. Just a black screen 705 fastboot
I installed twrp and tried reinstalling recovery but still didn't work
Ideas?

Twrp should still be there. That rom you installed probably had a incompatible kernel which is what is sending you into fastboot. If you cant get into recovery for some off the wall reason flash back to stock with a tot or kdz.
any off the wall ideas on how to get into recovery

Am I to understand this as you installed the TWRP Manager apk? Or do we read this as TWRP is the recovery you had originally installed? (Not trying to be funny here)
If the TWRP Manager was used from within the ROM, instead, use Flashify to reflash the recovery, not TWRP manager. Get the IMG file from HERE first, and tell flashify where you saved it.
If you are completely unable to boot as well as not access recovery, you will have to start from scratch. Follow THESE instructions to get back to stock and start over. (Choose Restoring Stock/Removing Root Flag)

If you are using custom rom, then simply download rom extract boot.img and place it on desktop, open odin and flash twrp in odin, after that reboot to recovery and put extracted boot.img in your phone, after that just flash it on boot partition! If stock then download latest firmware and flash it on odin!
