How to change TWRP recovery

I have a t-mobile Galaxy s4 that is rooted and uses TWRP 2.6.3.0. The recovery keeps hanging at the Teamwin Blue screen. I downloaded the flashable TWRP 2.5 which is said to be more stable so can I just flash this with Goo Manager or will I have to remove the TWRP 2.6.3.0 first. If so how can I downgrade

Just flash in twrp like you would a Rom but don't do any wipes

No Boot into revcovery
I flashed the TWRP but when I try to go into recovery it opens to the Samsung screen with the blue writing and then it turns off, vibrates twice and boots normally. I did not wipe as you instructed

Download 2.5.0.2 version tar here http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2 click on Get TWRP for your device and type s4 and click on T-Mobile version jfltetmo, you should flash it through Odin. Whenever you flash another recovery to your phone, it replaces the older recovery.

Where did you get the 2.5 twrp? I flash between different versions of twrp and cwm often.

Here is the post for twrp 2.5.0.2 zip also. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43469920

SERIOUSLY?!?!
I just explained to you in the post, did I just waste my time? You can get it by yourself in the future by following my instructions, ANY version, tar or img is on their site.

Some people have huge issues with TWRP I know I did. You might want to flash CWM touch. I did and haven't had a problem since. You can easily download and flash from Rom manager. You can get that from play store. It will give you latest version of cwm touch. Easily. It should solve your recovery problems.i know it solved mine. Don't know why some can use twrp and others have nothing but problems with it. I know I couldn't use it.i needed a stable recovery and twrp was NOT stable for me. CWM touch had never given me a problem once..it might be time to give CWM touch a try...it worked out really great for me.

Thanks for the update. I finally got it installed and working. I really appreciate your help

Thank you
thanks for all the help. I finally got it working. I initially got the dl from another link in the help section but when I flashed it I couldnt get into recover so I just followed the instructions and now it works.

Can't boot into recovery after cm14.1 nightly official

So as the title says, after flashing cm14. 1 can't go into recovery anymore, it just a black screen. I tried to use flashify but nothing, a couple of apps show that I have twrp 3.0.2.1 but can't get into it... Help?
Cheers

Same situation here. Neither booting the recovery via fastboot without flashing nor flashing the TWRP an then booting into it result in black screen. Flashify gives no results here. Please help.
EDIT; flashing this one via fastboot restores the access to TWRP, confirming it right now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=21065&task=get

Yeah man im in the same boat, if i get time ill try this twrp recovery. Where did that recovery come from?, it seems like the CM recovery for 14.1 nightly high jacks the recovery partition (i call it that,i dont know the term for it)

I believe the official 14.1 nightlies are based on the CB which requires the modified TWRP, which is what @JKMB888 has linked you to.

I would like to truly confirm that the direct link to recovery, along with the thread in which it can be found, repair the situation. I was able to restore the backup of Freedom OS and the return to CM14.1 backup. We should keep this one somewhere near, jsut in case.

Thanks a lot guys, that did the trick, and done with flashify

@JKMB888 it does work 100% is as simple as flashing the TWRP. Actually, i installed it with CM 14.1 running just fine

Just re flash the TWRP image via Fastboot. Apps like flashify actually use TWRP or whatever recovery installed to flash image file AFAIK. I recommend using modified TWRP,Flashing some roms break the access. But the modified one can withstand almost every new rom installs.
Hope it helps.

Why i have always mount decrypt data when i boot in recovery mode which is TWRP 3.0.2-22 aand ask me to input a password?
Edit: I found the solution, i had a pattern lock screen and i removed it!

At some point your phone data became encrypted. While booted up if you search for encrypt in settings you'll see your phone is encrypted.
Same thing happened to me yesterday after flashing 3.2.7 and booting up for the first time before going back to TWRP to flash AICP. Only way to decrypt permanently, as far as I know, is to wipe all data including internal and completely start from scratch.

Thank you so much it's work for me now..

After I got the recovery back, I flashed CM13 again and ARM64 6.0 Nano Gapps for my Oneplus 3, but I'm getting an error after the "preparing apps' screen is loaded saying that - unfortunately the process android.process.media has stopped one plus 3 boot and then the phone switches off.
Any solution to this? I've already tried flashing different versions of CM13.

Thank you!! I was looking for hours.

Hey, guys. I'm pretty sure I bricked my phone and there's no way to get out.
So I was on CM13 official builds on my OP3. Then, on the OTA update system they have, I got moved onto the CM14.1. I downloaded from here and went into my twrp recovery to flash. I made a clean flash and then proceeded to go back to system. I thought everything was ok until I realised I hadn't flashed a gapps package which I pretty much need to survive as all my contacts backups etc. are on there. I powered off my phone and went to go back into the recovery after downloading gapps 7.1 micro. It went past the *You're device can not be trusted'* and then went to the oneplus screen. After that, it stayed like that for about 30 secs and powered off. At first, I thought I messed something up and tried again. I repeated that for about 3 times and it didn't work. I tried going into the normal system and coming back to recovery and it didn't work still. In fact, now I can't even get into system. Now, i can only boot up to fastboot, where my computer still doesn't realise my phone is plugged in.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? I wouldn't say I'm a noob at this because I have flashed many times before but I'm relatively new to the scene. I didn't see this thread before i ripped my hair out and i think wrecked my phone @JKMB888
EDIT: I sorted it out with help from Naman Bhalla's unbrick thread and this. A certain combo works and now I'm on CM14.1 enjoying life

OP3 TWRP not Booting

Hello there,
This is my first XDA thread! This is an issue I ran into.
I just installed CM 14.1 on my OP3. I downloaded the latest TWRP from the official website before flashing it.
Here is the problem. After setting up my ROM, like installing all the required apps, I'm not able to boot into recovery. I tried flashing TWRP again, I downloaded the oneplus recovery from your website and I flashed that one too.
I erased recovery partition and installed both of them again (erasing each time). What happens is, after booting into the bootloader, I select recovery to go to the recovery and it stays blank, unless I reset it by holding the buttons.
Please let me know what I can do.

Same happened to me also. But somehow I fixed it by installing TWRP again by using OnrPlus 3 toolkit. Here is the toolkit forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3398993. Can't post links. Don't forget to put http:// front of it

Thanks for the reply.
Are you sure what happened to is exactly what happened to you? Because I tried the ToolKit and it is not working. I tried both the versions of the TWRP and Stock recovery.
If you know anything else about this issue that would help me. I'd love to hear it.

Also. Does encryption affect this in anyway, because I did it. I don't want to factory reset my phone because this is my primary phone and I don't have another phone. And I don't want to risk it, at least for a few days.

Are you on OOS4? If so try 3.0.2.19 of TWRP or the bluspark version 11 by eng.stk

no, @ stock OOS 3.2.8
ok did the update to oos 4.0 now.

and doestn work...
i have no idea

Try: "fastboot erase recovery" then "fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img".
Otherwise try re-downloading it.

thanks, but no success
when i flash modified twrp, get stuck into booting to twrp.
after rebooting oos4 and reboot to recovery, original recovery is getting started.

Tried everything now for hours. Without getting a working twrp. Has anyone the same problem?

I have the same issue, I'm on OOS4.0.1 and TWRP won't boot, tried the blu sparks one and the one included in the toolkit 3.7
Neither would boot, just stuck at their splash screens. I'm also looking for an answer.

do you have the dm-verity screen too at booting?

I recently posted a guide to solves issues like that. Here it is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-flashing-oos-v4-0-1-custom-rom-t3537757

OnePlus 3 recovery issue

So I don't know what I did...
If I'm trying to flash either twrp or stock recovery and boot them, it shows the "powered by android" and the screen goes black.
Well except twrp-3.1.1-2oneplus3.img....
I tried to flash stock recovery to install updates didn't work... Tried to flash the update with twrp, didn't work now I'm trying to downgrade twrp but my screen just goes black :c
Well my phone runs android 8.0 and it works but i still want the new fixes ^^
ohh and maybe i'm just stupid u had to forgive me that ': D

Unless is missed something, I am pretty sure that there is no TWRP fully working with Oreo yet. If you want to go back to stock recovery then you should just flash the full OxygenOS zip.

Yes exactly what I did after getting bored with flashing different recoverys over and over...
I should have known cause I bricked my device a few times too, by flashing old supersu.zips ^^
Anyway thank you for the answer
