What have I done to my phone? - TWRP. - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

Good evening all.
I must have done somethingto my phone... as, when I install TWRP, it boots for the fist time, but then it disappears and all recovery boots go to stock recovery
Could it be a matter of partitions?
Thanks a lot.

As long as you are flashing twrp & not booting twrp image there's no reason why it shouldn't perminatly be there

Many thanks for your reply. This is why I am so disoriented about the cause...
I have flashed twrp for years on various phones: HTC, Samsung, Motorola... I do exactly as per your instructions, I get the OK after the flash, reboot and it is there. Reboot again.... and back to stock

Once you entered twrp for the first time did you swipe to allow modifications?
If using stock rom you also need to disable dm-verity or your phone will not boot

Maybe the stock rom is flashing stock recovery whenever you boot into it? Try flashing twrp while using a custom rom and see if it still boots to stock recovery instead of twrp.

[Q] Installing custom recovery? New to Samsung phones...

Hi,
This may be a stupid question but I'm new to Samsung phones so I don't know all the details (I've only been using HTC so far).
So I've followed all the steps and got root fine. However, I tried to reboot into recovery afterwards and it's like Clockworkmod has vanished.... It just gets into what looks to me like the stock recovery. Am I doing something wrong or does the phone automatically restore its stock recovery???
Also, can someone explain to me if it is possible to manually flash a recovery from the img file using fastboot like you do on HTC phones?
Oh, and another thing. What's this Odin thing? I never used anything like that with HTC...
Thanks

May I ask what variant you are using? GT-i9195?
Then please boot your phone into download mode, this can be done by first switching of your phone completely then holding the power button, home button and volume down button until the download screen appears where you press continue. Once you have done that connect your phone using the usb cable and make sure all drivers have been installed! Once the drivers are installed start up Odin uncheck the f.rest time box and click the AP section and then select the recovery file provided by Sir Arco in the root thread.
If you need more help please ask, If it worked then still reply
Odin is the software used to flash files to Samsung phones.
You will need to catch the first recovery boot after flashing the recovery image, or else the stock recovery will be reflashed once the phone boots up. Just reflash the recovery via Odin and make sure to boot into recovery right after the phone reboots after the flash.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I kind of realized that's what's happening. I've managed to boot into the custom recovery right after the flash and did what I had to do in there, but then after I reboot the phone again, the custom recovery is gone. Is there a way to stop stock recovery being reflashed automatically?
Also, if I want to install a custom kernel, how can I backup the current one so that I can restore it at a later date if I need to? I know how to do this on HTC phones but it all seems to be a bit different on Samsung and I don't want to mess up anything.
How did you reboot? If you select the reboot option in the CWM recovery,it should follow with a question on whether you want to continue rebooting with reverting to stock recovery or not.

Umm... yeah, I think it did ask but I just accidentally pressed no before reading what it said... So I guess I'll just have to flash the recovery again and then answer yes to that question.
Thanks
Yes that would be the correct way to do it.
Hope all goes well!

similar issue
Hi, I don't know if I should make a separate post but I have a similar problem.
My Note 2 is stuck on the "Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100" screen at boot. Only by flashing a stock ROM through ODIN can this be fixed. When I try to install a custom recovery and ROM on it, it gets stuck again at that screen.
Can anyone help me?

Hold down power button for 5~10 secs. after it stucks on boot logo, and try if it reboots normally.
Or press Vol. up + Menu key and then power key for 5~10 secs it'd boot your phone into recovery mode.

Please reread my post. It's a persistent issue. Rebooting doesn't do anything. Recovery doesn't do anything.

I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue to mine and how to flash a custom rom after that. The only way I've found for the phone to work was to use ODIN to flash the stock firmware on it. After that, if I try to install a custom ROM, it goes back to the SAMSUNG screen at boot.
So if you, jikre, know how to fix this issue, I'm all ears.
This method has fixed numerous problems. Might be worth a try.

Download a stock firmware and use ODIN v3.09 to flash it onto your phone. It should work.

If you wanted to install custom rom, if so, you can't flash it through Odin (Only for flashing for Official stuff ). Download a custom rom, whichever you wanted(Copy that rom on externel SD), reboot into recovery and by selecting 'wipe data and cache' >> 'clean to install a new rom'.
Then again coming to main menu select Install zip from sd, and redirect it to rom file which you've downloaded. In any custom rom like DN3, SenSonic they've full procedure for flashing the rom, just stick to it to install it perfectly...

Got you man, i'm just saying that this problem of yours is come with the Andro v4.3 and knox bootloader. First if anyone tried to install custom recovery it get stuck on bootlogo, but that is an another factor you can reboot it manually into recovery menu.
On the end when you attempt to reboot (from recovery) it asks you to disable stock recovery and you reboot your phone normally, that's it!

Ah okay, that makes sense. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to my situation. I had already been on a 4.3 custom rom for several months when the phone just died like that. As of right now, I can only get it to work if I flash a stock ROM on it.

I have used both CWM and TWRP recoveries. Complete wipe every time before installing a new ROM. Still doesn't work. Only wiping and installing stock firmware through ODIN would the phone start.

Which ROM you tried to flash? Can you upload a pic of PC Odin, showing how you flash the phone. Or just enlist the options.
Try flashing your phone by philz touch ('Wipe Data & Cache >> Clean to Install a New ROM" << Maybe your previous installation troubling to set a new one, If persist again try this method):

i have tried all the things like wipe the data go to recovery and all but its still stuck

Does this happen to anyone else? Can't access TWRP unless I flash it

So the only way I can get to TWRP is by flashing it.
Everytime I do the button combination to go to recovery while the phone is off, it takes me to the LG thing and says "would you like to reset to factory settings?" and only says "yes" or "no."
No TWRP at all.
If I choose yes, then all my data is gone. If I choose no, then nothing happens.
The only way I can get to TWRP is to go on fastboot, and do "fastboot boot twrp.img"
If I do "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" then it does nothing.
Any help is appreciated.

You can either try this, or you maybe need another method. I had the same problem when I installed TWRP on 6.0. It didn't seem to be properly installed. What I did was
- Use LGUP to go back to 5.1 Stock ROM
- Root it following THESE instructions
- Install TWRP (Works flawlessly on 5.1 and you can use Quick Boot from the play store to check if it works)
- And THEN Upgrade to 6.0 with autoprime's Guide --> THIS one
After I did this I had rooted 6.0 with TWRP working. Maybe this will solve your problem. Cheers
the recovery is there, just say yes and yes and it will load

It just wipes my phone.
If you're at TWRP, reboot with it into TWRP again. Just follow the instructions and deny SU-things, you get presented. You can also flash SuperSU through it, boot up, install Flashify and install TWRP with it - also works great (did it this way). Just download TWRP from the official source & don't download it through Flashify.
You have only copy the twrp-xxx.img to your internal storage or sd card.
Boot via adb into TWRP, go to install, choose the twrp-xxx.img flash it as revovery and thats it.
Now you can rebooter apps to boot direcly into recovery or use the power down/power key combination during while you power the phone.

Recovery gone / corrupted.

I am no longer able to boot into my recovery. TWRP nor stock / default. I am on a custom ROM. I am on 7.1.2 root with magisk 12. I have tried all the fastboot commands to live boot into recovery. I have tried TWRP official app. I have tried FlashFire. Everytime I try to boot into my recovery my phone just reboots back into the OS.

So you have tried booting into the bootloader and entered "fastboot boot twrp.img" in adb?
This happens to me all the time. Using the advanced reboot menu on my ROM or "adb reboot recovery" while connected to my PC just results in the phone booting back into the OS. Pretty annoying. It has to have something to do with the Slots.
Anyways, to get around this, disconnect the phone from any power source, turn the phone completely off, wait 5-10 seconds, then press and hold Vol Down + Power to get to the bootloader. Then use the volume keys to select Recovery Mode and press power to boot into recovery. This method works every time for me. If this does not work for you or results in some other screen/error/whatever other than booting into TWRP, then you must live boot (as suggested in the above post) into TWRP and flash TWRP RC2.

If you are still able to access the bootloader, I would suggest flashing a factory image (removing -w if you want to keep your data) with the flash-all.bat. It sounds as if your recovery partition has been removed somehow making it unable to be booted into. Perhaps flashing the factory image will fix your partitions and solve the problem. It's worth a shot I guess if you can't access it at all. Good luck to you!

How am I supposed to flash a factory image if I can't flash anything? Plus I am on a Linux computer not windows. Isn't .bat windows? Would I need a .sh type of command?

The factory image flashes in bootloader mode and should correct any issue you have. You have to install the Android SDK platform on your Linux machine. Go to this link https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#tos-header and scroll down to almost the bottom for just the command line tools and follow the instructions to install. Then go to https://developers.google.com/android/images and download the factory image you want to flash and follow the instructions in that link to flash. I don't have a Linux machine myself, but I believe the process is fairly similar and it should work just fine.

Don't worry about the Thanks, cause I'm sure others have contributed more. Sorry I'm not more familiar with the Linux instructions!
Ok having the same issue as OP. A and B slots do not allow me to boot into recovery mode. It just immediately restarts as soon as the white Google splash screen appears. I have just done a factory reset with N2G47O. After complete, the stock default recovery works fine. I booted TWRP from fast boot to install the latest, issue came again. Trying to get into recovery mode just causes it to bootloop until you hold the volume down button to get bootloader up to boot to system instead. I am downloading and will flash NOF27D (last 7.1.1) to see if I can reinstall twrp from that. I can confirm that installing twrp when on that image worked. Will report back...

That's only for May and so on correct? I am on April. Heard nasty things form root uses about root screwing up, bootloader problems, etc. So I stayed away from May and stayed on April.

Correct. Only the may bootloader requires the extra zip file to be flashed. I am still on April but I have heard people not having any problems and some having nothing but problems from May. I think I'm going to give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes.
Edit: Tried the May bootloader and couldn't get it to boot a custom rom or TWRP, so I went back to April after flashing the Android O Beta and playing with it for a couple of hours. I feel that the Beta is still too early for a daily driver, but it was nice to mess around with some of the features we will have once this OS is released.

[Guide] Returning back to Stock after flashing custom ROM

Seeing lot of users struggling while going back to stock due to one or the other needed feature on custom ROM missing, few of them are dual SIM not working, MTP, camera or others. Even if they come back to stock by restoring the stock the ROM via TWRP, sound is not working for many of them. I flashed recent LOS, RR, AOSP and returned back to stock without any problem. I made the traditional backup (yeah not followed the instruction of TWRP backup given in ROM thread ) I will quickly brief on the method. There are 2 methods for the same.
Method 1:
Before flashing the custom ROM
Boot to TWRP
Click on backup
You will bunch of options/partition to backup.
Select only - boot, data, system and vendor and no other partition. (can change the name of TWRP to the Date-Time-BXYZ)
Let TWRP finish the backup (time taken will depend on your data size)
Now again click on backup and this time select only - cust, prod and version (can change the name to Date-Time-others or a per your wish)
Flash custom ROM and enjoy
IF you face any issues and want to return back to stock, refer below.
Return to stock-
Boot to TWRP
Click on Wipe
Wipe System, Boot, Data
Click on Restore
Select the backup media (internal memory/external memory/USB etc)
Chose the 1st back up only i.e boot, data, system and vendor (Date-Time-BXYZ)
Chaneg the file system to F2FS (it was channged to EXT4 while moving to Custom ROM, remember )
Boot to system.
It should have all sound and other stuff working without any issue.
Method 2:
Use dload method to restore to full stock.

In worst case If you have anything non working, like FM, theme etc, flash the small data file via TWRP.

Try to use the same build number's file for this.
Good luck.
I have been trying to relock the boot loader on my honor 6x BLN-L24C567B365 with no luck. It has de factory rom on it, it has twrp an root installed (magisk). I tried the dload method with the same software version it has (BLN-L24C567B365), but i get "software install failed", I want to remove twrp, root, and afther that relock the boot loader. If i try to relock in the actual state, it boots in to fastboot mode, to boot correctly again i have to unlock again de bootloader. Can you give me some advice please.
Thanks in advance.

Check all the files I have given in PM and share the results.
I tried going back to nougat from stable gsi linage os by using huru updater flasing via recovery and it resulted in a bootloop.
I can only enter the three options section -1-press power button to continue. 2- Volume up key to enter erecovery... and 3- The device will continue to boot after 5secs...
I cannot get into the erecovery at all, not even flashing another erecovery since I thought it was corrupted but no. I try to press volume buttons simultaneously with the power button and it doesn't work either. It also doesn't seem to stop rebooting.
I TRIED DLOAD and I had NO result but the same unstopping reboots.
Also I can ONLY enter that three options section by plugging in the device via pc while pressing volume up at the same time while plugging it in the USB.
Flashed recoveries for both nougat and oreo and never worked. I'm worried. Help please

Volume down and plugging in sync cable to computer won't put you in fastboot? Phone should be powered down and then this combo should get you adb access....
