CM13 Not Starting - Accidentally Wiped TWRP - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've gone and screwed up again. I managed to root and install TWRP from Lollilop. Before flashing with CM13, I wiped everything except the external SD and I believe I wiped TWRP and SuperSU in the process. So then I was like, no biggie, let's root and get TWRP back on. I rooted via ADB but now when I power the phone up, it's stuck in an endless CM boot screen.
How can I resolve this. Go back to stock and start over? I really want to avoid any further screw ups hence why I am posting here.
Thanks!

Can anyone offer some pointers? I'm truly at loss and I don't want to brick the phone.

Yeah, sure.
So how about telling me first how you managed to wipe TWRP? I'm pretty sure there is no option under "wipe" to wipe the recovery partition?
And CM13 is rooted, all you need to do is enable it in settings, you can install SuperSU optionally if you wish to manage superuser access with it.
So like, confirm that you actually wiped recovery (still don't get it how? you used dd command?), try to enter TWRP with hardware key combination. If successful get a new CM13 zip and reflash.

Under the wipe settings of TWRP, I checked all the boxes except external SD. Then after installing CM13, the phone didn't power on unless I pulled the battery before turning it on. Also, recovery mode doesn't boot into TWRP is simply says Factory Reset? Which is the stock recovery I believe.
This is the first time that TWRP doesn't work after wiping the phone and installing CM.

No.. It is not stock. If you installed cm then you had twrp. Just click yes when asked to wipe and you will go to twrp.

Cant Flash new ROMs anymore. Please help.

Okay, I searched before posting. Here is my steps.
I was on SKYNOTE 8.2 and wanted to go back to stock and see what At&t's update was about.
Once back to stock, I rooted my phone and have been on this setup for about 2 weeks.
I was in the original thread and saw the new 4.2.2 Collective AoCP / CM10.1 ROM.
I wanted to try it out.
Using TWRP's latest, followed all instructions and when rebooting it still has stock root ROM.
What am I doing wrong?
I thought it was TWRP so I went to an earlier ver, still no change.
I've tried 4 times now to flash this 4.2.2 Rom and nothing.
Factory Reset
Wiped Dalvik
Install Zip
Install gapps
It says to wipe cache and data again
then boot up
It boots up alright, right into my old phone.
Any input I can get is appreciated guys !!!! Thanks.
Copy the ROM to your device (some storage folder)
Boot directly to TWRP
Manually install the ROM and the appropriate GAPPS
(watch the script window and see what it says.. look for errors)
Clear caches and dalvik
reboot

Try wiping cache/delvik cache, then factory reset twice, then system wipe twice, Install .zip, Install GApps, then wipe cache/delvik again(don't wipe data after .zip is installed. That's how I always do it and it works great.
I think its my recovery Twrp. I changed something.

I have tried everything. Its got to be the recovery. No matter what I do in twrp, nothing changes. It says updating partitions and stimulating actions
. It also says successful. After updating to the newest twrp it started this. I changed something. ##[email protected] went into settings and reset....nothing. What if I flashed CWM and then went back to TWRP.

Okay guys....This has made me sick to my stomach.....I have tried all the different methods. I even soft bricked my phone today using CWM.
Kies wouldnt even fix my phone.
I had to download stock firmware and flash via Odin to get back.
Installed TWRP
Rooted
Went into recovery and wiped everything again
Installed the custom ROM
Rebooted
TWRP didnt do anything even though it says it did.
My phone boots up like normal with Att logo and works but no Custom Rom and no wipes.
What is this? Im going to try other things but wow, this is crazy.
On my SD card I have alot of stuff. I also have a folder named TWRP, it has a back up in there. I wonder if I should remove that?
IDK,,,,,Stuck with Stock root for now. Help If you can. Never had this issue before. What a day

Might as well try everything. wipe your sd card in twrp,if that doesn't work reformat through android when booted. Then copy the custom rom over and try again. Only other thing I can think to try is to check that all partitions that are needed are mounted, or try CWM instead.
Also, how did you install TWRP? Through the app? that is the best way to do it, I have had problems flashing twrp through CWM or through the computer. If you aren't already, use goomanager to install it. TWRP has instructions on their website
I figured it out!!!!!!!

[Q] which TWRP?

Hi everyone. Just guy my note tablet. Rooted with towlie.
Build number kot49h.p607tuvuane2
Finding a bit of confusion on which TWRP I should install. I did one with Odin, and it didn't take.
Can someone point me to right file and/or directions if i need to downgrade first?
I want to start playing and customizing, but cannot back up or reflash.

Have heard a few things about needing an Odin firmware downgrade. Is that necessary with my firmware? And should I use Odin, or ADB?
Really appreciate the info. I want to tinker, but without working recovery, I'm a bit Leary.

Hi,
This post saved me, I installed TWRP 2.8 and my system froze, I couldn't get past the Samsung 10.1 screen.
But found this post and flashed 2.6.3.3 via Odin and it all went smoothly.

I currently have no recovery. I tried flashing 2.8 originally.
How would i clear cache, data, and all before trying to flash 2631?

No, you flash TWRP 2631, then boot into the twrp then select advance then put a check for cache, davik cache and data, then swipe. Once done just flash your rom. I would copy the rom to the download folder on the internal storage (/sdcard/download/) before flash your new twrp.
Is 2.6.3.3 more reliable / stable in terms of making / restoring nandroids? I just got my new Note last week (p607t) and flashed xKat with TWRP at one point, restoring apps from (some with data to avoid re-entering account info or redoing complex settings...) I have had one problem however, when I was almost done restoring, I noticed that I was getting fc's, particularly with games that required an internet connection. I wiped dalvik and cache in TWRP, then hit fix permissions, which I think screwed everything up (maybe due to the bootloader / firmware base mismatch). Anyway, my most recent nandroid was with the fresh xKat install, but fixing permissions caused this weird "hot"-bootloop where it skipped the boot animation but start loading immediately after rebooting, but then freezing before all boot tasks had completed (ex. some optimizations on boot with Android Tuner Pro, FolderMount mounting folders, loading xposed modules...)
Not wanting to re-restore, I first just tried dirty-flashing the ROM again (only wiped dalvik and cache, but did something I hadn't tried before: in the wipe menu I hit "repair partition" for system and data, pre-flash). Luckily it worked and set everything straight... but just want to make sure, 2.6.3.3 is still recommended as the most stable version (in my experience, fixing permissions in recovery can be very hit or miss on any version)?
2 questions before I roll back my recovery, I think these "killer features" (totally serious, #2 has been huge since I got a couple of the newish flash drives with micro usb on one side and regular usb on the other) of TWRP were implemented in 2.6.3.3, but just want to make sure: can you 1) compress nandroids and 2) mount a USB OTG drive and flash from or backup to it? Thanks all, really loving my new Note (massive upgrade from my Note 8!)

I HAVE flashed 2631 for the qualcomm lte.
I've done or several times since you told me that's the best version.
IT WILL NOT BOOT INTO TWRP. it's a scrambled screen. That's all. No touch options. No check boxes. After a minute, tablet reboots itself. I am on stock firmware still. Rooted.
Maybe I should just try CWM. never had this much problems with twrp on any other device.

How about wipe cache/davikcache/data with your stock recovery (just reflash your stock recovery). After that let it boot up, then power down and flash twrp. Once done, don't boot up, boot back to twrp . Let me know how it goes.
Cool. I can try that when I get home. Do you have a link handy for the stock recovery?

Help restoring my DEV note 4 please!!

Hey I have a problem here.I have a dev edition Note 4. I have been running EMSpoilt's first ROM ([Rom][N910VOYU1ANI1][4.4.4] Stock Root Deodex/Knox-Free Updated 11/24/2014) for about 2 weeks now. It was running great smooth as butter until now. I tried flashing his new [Rom][N910VVRU1ANJ5][4.4.4] Stock Root Odex/Knox-Free) but my phone wouldn't boot up, it wouldn't get past the first Samsung screen just keeps restarting. I made sure to follow step by step instructions. Wiped everything but my SD card. Tried it 2 more times and nothing. Tried to wipe cache and all that. Nothing helped. So I decided to restore back to my backed up ROM. Once restored it started to act weird. My finger print scanner doesn't work and I can't download anything another than apps from app store...the phone is very glitchy and almost unusable.. almost like it has a virus. It did get pretty hot when I was flashing the ROM I hope I didn't fry anything. I tried and tried to reset things but no luck. I don't have a backup of stock Dev ROM unfortunately...is there a way to reset back to stock(out of the box state)? I still have root and TWRP recovery works fine.
Anyone help please?

If you want to get the NJ5 ROM up and running without issues I would suggest flashing the NJ5 stock restore tar file in Odin, then flash TWRP recovery in Odin. Once that is done boot into TWRP and flash SU, then flash the ROM. I was having the same issue yesterday and this fixed things for me.
+1 on what airmaxx23 has recommended. Caution: Make damn sure you ODIN the stock restore file intended for the DE, not the retail. If you just want to get back to a fully functional DE without the ROM then ODIN the stock restore file, ODIN TWRP and flash SUPERSU in recovery. You don't have to flash the ROM.

I am having problems with mine, too
After getting into trouble yesterday with a phone that stuck in Verizon logo screen, I was able to restore from backup.
Then I started noticing weird things that I believe were working a day ago.
I cannot download any email attachments, cannot create folders on sdcard, cannot install xposed or even install Fora offline dictionary files I downloaded from PlayStore. I never flashed custom ROMs on my DE, just flashed TWRP and then rooted it. I am still running original SW N910VOYU1ANI1. Screenshots and photos are saved just fine (burst shots on sdcard and regular photos on extsdcard).
Any Ideas? I've tried to restore from pre-root backup, then restored my image that has root and some applications but cannot move from there.

Here is what I would do if I were you:
1. Go into TWRP Recovery and do a complete wipe (system, data, cache, delvik). Do not select recovery.
2. While in TWRP do a factory reset
3. In TWRP, RESTORE the backup you mentioned.
4. While in TWRP clear cache and delvik again
5. Power off the phone and remove the battery
6. Replace the battery and boot
7. If the phone boots normally then power off the phone, boot into recovery and flash SuperSU (Do not try to restore any "image", just flash SuperSU.zip)
8. Reboot the phone

Go to "Wipe" then "Format Data" then type "yes" and hit "go". This will completely remove all data. Under "Advanced Wipe" check "dalvik", "system", "data", and "cache" and wipe those as well.
If that doesn't work you're going to have to start fresh.

When you're in TWRP and select Wipe, there will appear a "swipe bar" that when swiped will perform a Factory Reset. It is the first screen you see when you select Wipe on the home screen. Do the Factory Reset and then clear cache, delvik, system and data. You can do the Factory Reset before clearing cache etc or after clearing cache etc. It really doesn't make a difference in what order you do the Factory Reset, just do it.
If this process doesn't get you back to normal then another option is to flash the stock restore file for NJ5 availble in the Android Development Section. But, lets do the process I've outlined first.

I did everything up to the #7, then powered the phone. I am getting all bunch of errors like "com.sec.phone has stopped" and other I don't remember. It shouldn't be this way, right?
Then I powered the phone off and on again, this time I got the setup wizard without error messages and flashed SU and then installed Xposed. So far, so good. Will install couple apps to see how it goes.

Glad you got it working. I'd have to see the error messages to try, I emphasize try, to determine what might be causing them. Often after flashing or using ODIN to install software you'll get an error message until the system has been rebooted. You should probably power off you phone, again, pull the battery, replace the battery and reboot to see if you continue to get error messages. You shouldn't be getting error messages during boot unless you have installed something that has turned a service off or has altered a service that the system is asking for (that's not technically well stated, but I think you get the point). Exposed Framework is great and enables users to customize many things in Android. But, not all the modules work the same on every device, and in fact some modules will not work at all on the Note 4. If you're trying to run a module that does not work as advertised then you should uninstall that module or not select that particular customization. A misbehaving module can cause problems that manifest themselves in funny ways.

H815 Bootloop after battery died

Hey,
So im currently on holiday and dont get back home until the 13th aug.
I was on my phone last night until i ran out of battery and the phone inevitably died. I charge it this morning and the phone is stuck on the boot animation and has a slowly flashing blue led. I do get past the lg bootloader unlocked screen too and the android boot animation runs fine, just never completes. My phone is running bootloader unlocked, twrp recovery and the imperium rom. My model is h815 and s/n is 512 prefix. The battery was running pretty bad so it might be that. Either way it is stuck in bootloop and i am not sure how to approach it. I also have some internal storage that would need backing up if possible.
Cheers for any help
That's a common issue with Imperium ROM, check post #3341 in this thread for example. Just do a clean flash and your system is back again, but sadly you will lose the apps and settings.

Thats interesting, never thought of that. I should be able to backup any files etc from the internal storage using adb right?
Simply dont wipe internal storage, only wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. THe files on your Internal storages not gonna' deleted, just reinstall the apps you had.

Another problem is that i cant boot into twrp recovery using the buttons. It brings me to the stock recovery asking to factory reset. I guess i could just wait until im home and use adb to boot into the twrp recovery.

Yep. That's what it looks like for me too. When you select factory reset, the phone actually restarts into TWRP.
Make sure you actually do have TWRP installed otherwise it will wipe your phone.
You have a custom ROM installed so I assume competence, but there's always a chance
If you think I'm pulling a prank, here's some validation:

Yeah i saw that post and was reluctant to do so as im on my holiday. Dont want to lose my pics either, even when im very sure twrp is installed correctly as i use the quick boot app to go into recovery quite often.

Think I borked my 5t

Here's where I am. Have twrp. tried to go back to stock. I messed something up. Now when I reboot to bootloader it says something about a script and "running open recovery script" is at the top. It instantly reboots to 1plus logo and back to twrp. I can get to bootloader but not recovery. Any advice before I rma it? Thanks if you can help.
Do not try to re lock bootloader
So can you get to TWRP or not? You state you can't get to recovery? Can you useADB?

I flashed blue twrp now and i can get to recovery. But now any rom I load, even stock oos, I can't get any wifi. The codex twrp was messing things up. But like I said, now wifi won't connect no matter what I try. What a mess.

Have you tried Formatting the data partition? You might try that then do a system reset and then reinstall whatever ROM you want. Note, it will wipe all the data on your internal sd card, so you should transfer important files to a pc. You will also have to reinstall recovery via ADB.

What is the process to do this? I will definitely try it. What does formatting do? Thanks for your help
Formatting will completely ERASE your internal storage partition, so you will LOSE all personal files that are stored here. You need to backup your data first to your pc, etc.
Boot into TWRP and select 'WIPE'. Then select the button on the lower right, 'Format Data'. You will be presented with a warning screen where you will have to type 'Yes' to confirm you understand that you are deleting all personal files. Type 'Yes' and it will format this partition. Personally, I then go back and perform a factory reset after formatting the Data partition. I then reboot back into recovery and transfer over the files that I need from my PC.
Hopefully this will fix the issue for you.

I formatted. Loaded liquid remix. Booted and factory reset. Booted into recovery and then back to system. No wifi. There is nothing in my ip address on phone. I don't get this.

Hmm..... Not sure then. I remember reading someone else was having a similar issue. It might have actually been in the liquid forum. Have you checked there?

Notta. I think something is messed up with it.
The way I fix the wifi bug. Flash oos And codeworks universal twrp. Then flash stock boot.Img in twrp then flash mgsik 15.2 then flash a custom kernel (I'm currently on new kernel v1.08. That's how I fixed my wifi bug. )
Don't know of that helps but that's how I fixed it.
Have you tried following the instructions for roll back here:
