[Q] Recovered my Nexus 7 to 4.4.4 but can't find any recovery mode

Guys I am facing this weird issue. Earlier I had TWRP installed on my nexus 7 with android 4.4.2 but since I was unable to install any OTA updates for 4.4.4 I figured maybe it was an issue with the TWRP so I wanted to get rid of it. I used One Click Factory Restore 4.4.4 KTU84P tool in the dev forums and it kinda did restore my tab to a stock version. The issue is now when I try to boot into recovery mode, it shows an error logo and seemingly there is no recovery installed. How do I go to stock recovery from here? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you mean by error logo, you see an image of an android on its back, that is recovery, stock recovery. You can still use the OTA with TWRP, so you pretty much wasted your time removing it, the only difference is with TWRP you have to flash the OTA manually (the OTA zip is located in /cache).
So reinstall the latest TWRP, and reroot, and have fun with 4.4.4.
If you want your device to be even more useful and future upgrades to be easier, instead of leaving normal TWRP on it, after rooting, install MultiROM along with its modified TWRP, and make your device even better.

Problem with dirty flash older version of a custom rom

Hello, a friend of mine installed a custom rom at my lg g3 android phone. The rom is ressurrection remix. I accidently dirty flashed an older version of the same rom, I had 5.1.1 r6 and I flashed 5.0.3, and now neither adb works nor download mode due to killswitch. The only thing it does is show the old rr boot image. It's on a bootloop and since it doesn't open I don't know how to fix it. Can someone tell me what should I do?

Can you use the button combo to boot into TWRP? If you can get into TWRP then just flash the ROM you want and be sure to follow the rom threads instructions before flashing of course.

SGH-I747 - 4.4.2 Soft Bricked after trying to update

Hi all,
I am new here and I am having trouble with my Galaxy 3 SGH-I747 from at&t
I rooted the phone using KingoRoot and everything was fine.
I used the phone for about a week and decided to update from kitkat 4.4.2 to lolipop 5.0.
I have a micromax phone that is rooted and I didnt have any trouble updating it while it was rooted, so i figured it wouldnt be a problem but when I updated the s3 it said update failed at 94% and started rebooting and got stuck in an update loop.
I searched and searched and tried finding recovery options using odin but I cant find a 4.4.2 stock firmware, and cant find much information on recovering my device.
I am unable to boot in to recovery. I cant find a link for the SGH-I747 to philz recovery, the links all seem to be dead.
I can boot in to download mode.
I want to install a custom recovery via ODIN but i cant find one for my phone.
After I install the custom recovery, how will i know which stock OS my phone is currently at
I appreciate any advice you can give me, thanks.

Use TWRP for custom recovery. CWM and Philz haven't been updated in quite a while. You can get odin flashable tars from here.
Flashing TWRP should get you to working recovery, and you can find the rom zips you need to get back up and running in the development section here.
Unrooted stock will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery upon boot. Depending on how far your phone is getting into the booting process that might happen if you let odin auto-reboot. Your best bet is to uncheck auto-reboot in odin, so it won't restart on you automatically. Upon success remove the USB cable and pull battery. Replace battery and boot straight to recovery by holding home+vol up+power until you see tiny blue text in the upper left corner then releasing.

Thankyou! i was able to install the recovery by TWRP.
I just need to figure out what firmware to install and where I can get it... I was on kitkat, I tried to update to lollipop but it didnt work. My phone is bricked so I dont know how i would see the firmware version on it.
I really just want any kind of stable firmware that is rooted. Any ideas where I could find one? I'm trying to sift through the forums

Lots of ROMs are available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development

I appreciate all the help - It seemed really hard because I was finding roms and flashing with ODIN but it always failed TWRP is giving me results. I flashed slimkat and got my phone working again! the only problem is my sound is a bit junky, idk why.
I plan on trying out Octos - M, because I heard marshmallow OS has a lot better battery life among other things
If i upgrade to a custom marshmallow OS, is there any coming back to a former custom OS like 4.4.2? or is it a permanent upgrade?
Do you guys recommend any custom OS? I need something stable, that uses the resources efficiently.

Before flashing additional ROMs, make sure the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem.
To verify the installed bootloader and modem, install the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play store.
With a custom ROM, you can flash from one to another, usually without any issues as long as you perform a complete wipe (system, data, cache) before flashing a new ROM. If you are upgrading an existing custom ROM with a newer custom ROM (e.g. CM12.1 2016-01-01 nightly to CM12.1 2016-01-02 nightly), you can just flash the updated ROM over the existing ROM.

Downgrading from Marshmallow to Stock Rom

Guys apologies if this has been asked a lot,recently i upgraded my phone marshmallow (BlissRom) now i want to go back to stock rom Cyanogen 13, 12.1 or Cyanogen 12 or the official version of Marshmallow cyanogen OS not CyanogenMod can you please help me with this?

@Pramod9964
Official stock ROM for Yureka/Yureka Plus is COS12.1.
There's two way you can downgrade from current ROM to stock ROM:
1. Download latest signed zip and flash from TWRP recovery (I presume you're currently using it).
Boot into recovery mode- goto Wipe- Advance wipe and wipe everything except internal/external storage. Now select Install- locate downloaded signed zip and flash. Reboot.
2. Download latest factory image and flash via fastboot. For flashing instructions see this. It will erase everything including internal storage so backup internal storage data.

@saurav007 thanks so much for your response
Can I directly downgrade to 12.1 or should I have to first downgrade to 12 then upgrade to 12.1?

Direct. There's no need of 12, just flash 12.1.

I cant get to recovery on my oneplus 3

So recently i flashed the new cyanogen 14.1 nightly rom but it said their was an update but after i installed it it tried to go into recovery and wouldnt start. I shut it down and it would only go into fastboot mode and show the boot image. after this i downloaded fastboot and adb files and a tool kit and it now boots into the actual rom but still not recovery. so how can i get the recovery to pop up? iv already tried to flash twrp again but it still didnt load. and i even flashed the stock recovery and still wouldnt boot up. if anyone knows a way i can fix my recovery it would help alot. :good:

I have exactly same problem as you k hope it's a problem with the new cyanogenmod 14.1 nightly if not may try to change the kernel? I'm looking around too

Same problem here.... I installed TWRP and Dirty Unicorns on my One Plus 3, but immediately had a host of problems (including home key not working). I then flashed the most recently nightly (cm-14.1-20161119-NIGHTLY-oneplus3.zip). It booted fine, but now I cannot get into recovery. Any attempt to boot into recovery will put me back at the unlock warning screen... The phone is functionally useless at this point, because it doesn't even have gapps on it.
How can I restore this phone to a usable state (i.e., enter recovery to allow flashing of gapps)?

official twrp doesnt work with community builds and cm 14.1. You have to use modified twrp 3.0.2-22. the link can be found easily in official cm 14.1 forum on xda.
