I wanted to flash some custom roms and get myself beyond the old vanilla KitKat. So I flashed TWRP. Got the latest version with the Official TWRP App. And then the app wouldn't flash it, so I used Flashify instead. And then I got stuck in a bootloop: "SET WARRANTY BIT: RECOVERY".
So what the hell did I do wrong? And how can I make it work?
NO PC. We're doing this with the tablet and nothing else.
Can you get into Download mode?

So two days ago I thought about installing Vision X rom on my Note 3 (T Mobile).
I downloaded the ROM and then backed up my current ROM (nandroid). I had Phillz touch recovery then.
Then I thought about going to TWRP and thus I downloaded the latest zip for my phone and flashed it via Phillz upon trying to reboot into recovery it got stuck in the screen "Rebooting Recovery...".
When I restarted it would still try to reboot into recovery and get stuck. I got out of that by going into download mode and then selecting "Restart Phone".
After that I looked for solutions and upon failing to find any I thought about going back to stock and starting from ground zero. I managed to flash the latest stock using Odin however I forgot to do a factory reset before hand.
When I tried to do a factory reset in my, now stock, phone it failed and then got stuck trying to get into recovery. It would flash "Rebooting Recovery..." then restart and flash that in a loop.
I have lost my root as well in the process and trying to root using Odin and CF-Root just get's me back in the recovery boot loop. I can use the phone OK however this is not a stable situation.
I'm sure I've made some serious errors in the tinkering and would like to get my recovery back. I really love Custom Roms. Any kind and knowledgeable souls out there to help me in my cause?

Go to the Playstore and download TWRP Coordinator and then
use it to install the latest TWRP recovery for your phone.
Once you can get back into TWRP recovery you need to flash
the cf-autoroot for your phone. Be sure you flash the CORRECT
version of cf-autoroot for your phone's model.
Good luck!

The app is constantly crashing!
It would start for a second then close. I tried the TWRP manager as well with the same result.
I've lost root access when I Odined back to stock, won't I need root access to install new recoveries?
Sounds like you flashed the stock 4.4 firmware and now need recovery to root. Flash this TWRP file using Odin http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Once you flash it, you need to boot into recovery to install supersu to root.
Switch off the Galaxy Note 3 (remove the battery and reinsert if needed)
Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.Release the buttons when the screen flickers and wait for the TWRP menu.
Select Reboot, then System and install Supersu for root.
Once booted, open Supersu to update it and grant permission.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Hi guys,
I was in the final step (7) of this gude: http://www.aftvnews.com/start/
Which is installing the latest pre-rooted stock software, (version 51.1.4.1_514013920) After pushing the rom to /sdcard, I rebooted the device so that I could flash it via clockworkmod recovery, but I was not able to select the recovery option with my keyboard. So I decided to re-do the installation of Rbox's kernel boot menu. Now, I'm stuck at a boot loop with just the white Amazon logo showing up. Is my device bricked and is there a way to fix it?
FYI I cannot access clockworkmod recovery. I wish I could, as I would then be able to flash the latest pre-rooted ROM that's in /sdcard
Does anyone know how I can access recovery?

You need cwm 6.0.5.1.4 or higher AND unlocked boot loader or you will brick it. If this is your situation believe me I hope I'm not the bearer of bad news. Hopefully you'll be ok. Good luck!

I have all that. Box came with 51.1.1.0_user_511070220. Here are the steps I did:
1. Rooted & install busybox and blocked updates
2. Downgraded to version 51.1.0.2_user_510058520
3. Rooted again
4. Unlocked Bootloader
5. Installed Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.5.1.4a
6. install Pre-Rooted Stock ROM version 51.1.4.0_514006420 updated via Clockworkmod recovery
7. Installed Busybox
8. Installed Kernel Boot menu
9. pushed to sdcard the latest pre-rooted stock software, version 51.1.4.1_514013920
10. Rebooted box, but here is when I realized I could not select recovery option from boot menu using my keyboard.
11. I decided to try and reinstall the boot menu. I followed the same steps I did in #8.
12. Stuck at boot loop with white Amazon Logo.
In hindsight, now that I've reviewed each step, what I should have done was flashed Pre-Rooted Stock ROM version 51.1.4.0_514006420 AGAIN via Clockworkmod recovery in order to properly uninstall the kernel boot menu. Then I should have tried re-installing the kernel boot loader again. Lesson learned.

Then I don't know...I always double or triple check to make sure but your steps seem correct. Was this a new box? I only say that because I remember that super tedious process and at one point I think I needed to root again. At that point it maybe possible an update could sneak through but that would probably result in losing root--worst case. Not a brick.
It's concerning because you seem to know what you're doing and were cautious during the process.
Hopefully someone else can confirm where you went wrong. If you didn't go wrong then that might be a bigger problem. Everything went smoothly up until it hung at boot?
As they always say, if your in a jam and get "failed" messages when writing to boot or recovery or flashing, do not reboot. keep trying till you get no errors. that said, I thought I was stuck in a boot loop cause I insalled the llama and xbmc launcher and removed the launcher app. I was still able to get through adb but it took like 5 or 6 reboot tries. good luck.
Hi Guys,
I have been give a Zenfone 2 which cannot reboot into stock recovery or any recovery, basically at the bootloader menu when you select recovery it reboots and goes back to the bootloader menu.
I've installed Rom Manager and it says both TWRP and CWM are installed.
So I believe this has multiple Recoverys and it basically cant use any, I have attempted to flash it back to stock but it wont again even let me into recovery that way.
I was rooted but I fully unrooted it to see if this would make a difference but it made no difference.
The bootloader says unknown and the screen is black on start with the Asus logo so would that suggest it has not got an unlocked bootloader either if so I believe the person who owns the phone tried to flash the untethered version of TWRP without having this unlocked ?
Any ideas how to get this back to stock and a recovery working ?
Thanks
Have you ever tried flashing stock fastboot?
I think the guide of "changing phone's SKU to WW version" can do the trick. Doing this can have official fastboot and recovery flashed on your phone.
Dear All,
Here's the problem:
The Goal: To Install CM-12.1 Custom ROM
What I have done:
1. Installed TWRP Recovery Manager and no matter how many times I tried, was unable to install TWRP Recovery
2. Installed Flashify, not possible to install TWRP, CWM or any other recovery!
3. Installed Rashr and finally was able to get PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery installed on the phone.
Rebooted to recovery and it's working! Great!
Now, I have the CM-12.1 zip file on the external SD card but can't flash the ROM no matter how many times I try. Yes, I did wipe factory reset and all the wipes possible, NOT ABLE TO INSTALL the Custom ROM.
The real problem now is that before I tried installing the custom ROM, I accidentally made a mistake, a really bad one too.
When my phone was starting normally, in Flashify (or Rashr, I don't remember now) I selected the downloaded TWRP recovery image for Kernel and rebooted the phone. Yes, a dumb move, I know, but for some stupid reason I did that! And now the phone won't start!!!
Getting this msg:
Set Warranty Bit: kernel
Plus, when I boot into Philz Touch 6 recovery, not able to install ROM or do anything else either.
I managed to install Aroma File Manager, and deleted some of the twrp recovery images, but still getting the kernel error.
Also, in Philz Touch recovery, I have done something wrong and I think I may have lost ROOT access. Tried several times to Re-Root Super SU but it says now install Super SU from the Market. How can I install Super SU from market if I cannot get the phone to start in the first place.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix these issues or has experienced similar problems, please share the steps you took to solve the problem.
All the help is appreciated!
Thanks vey much in advance!!!
P.S. Please write in comments if any screen capture is needed.
BOOTLOOP!
If anyone can, please help, I can't use my phone for over a week now!!!
the phone is stuck in bootloop!
the recovery I was using apparently wasn't the right version for my gt-i9192 and for some stupid reason it thought that my phone is gt-i9190!!! i was using twrp 3.0.0.0 serrano3gxx by the way. and i could not install the custom rom, the right rom for gt-i9192... because the recovery thinks my phone is gt-i9190... stupid right
so i installed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed zip file using the twrp recovery itself. and now i can't even go to recoery mode!!! WOW!! I think i ****ed up this phone big time!!!
i know there was a warning to not install the recovery using the recovery itself, but i didn't have a choice.
i did that because Odin is not working for my phone!! can't install anything with odin...
it just gets stuck and never finishes the flash. can't install anything with odin, nothing at all. just gets stuck!!
so now the problem is this stupid bootloop and on top of that i can't even get the phone to start the recovery, when I try, it goes back to this bootloop problem. by the way this is the bootloop msg:
Set Warranty Bit : kernel IN YELLOW COLOUR and the phone logo: Samsung Galaxy S4 mini GT-I9192
Hello, XDA Developers. I was having some trouble with the TWRP Recovery. I have the latest version of ODIN and I have rooted my Galaxy S6 before and all. I'm running 6.0.1 on the g920p model. When I went to flash the recovery. It said it passed and was successful (I used the AP option). Then when I go to put it in recovery mode, it is the stock recovery and not the custom one. Is there anything I did wrong? I've tried other recoveries but non seemed to work. Also I've tripped my KNOX but I don't know if that affects it. Thanks for your help.
Unless you root your phone, it stock recovery will overwrite TWRP.
Flash TWRP again, but do not allow it to auto-reboot through ODIN. (Uncheck that box.) Reboot into Recovery, then flash SuperSU to gain root. Then reboot and TWRP will be there.
