Let me guess.. you used the darkside cache wipe. That's the only way to break CWM. Flash this.

Its TWRP 2.3.0.0. It should lock up when it says installation complete. When it does just hold down the power button and reset your phone and boot back into TWRP instead of CWM. FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE STOP USING WIPE SCRIPTS.

Removing CWM Recovery off stock device

Hi. I was wondering how I would go about removing CWM Recovery off my stock s3.
My computer isn't that good and I want to remove it so I can do the jb update. It keeps saying the file signature failed and wont install and I thought if maybe I got rid of CWM it would let me update.
All help is appreciated.

Same issue here. I have CWM Recovery and the device is rooted. Doesn't seem to like the OTA for Jelly Bean.

My device isn't rooted tho. That's why I wanna get rid of it. If I was rooted I'd flash jb. I couldn't get rooted. My computer screen wasn't big enough to click ok in Odin. And when I finally did It rebooted but said it couldn't finish the root.

Flashed stock recovery. Went to do update and the update got to 24% and rebooted. Pop-up said it failed and to use kies.
Ill try again later and see if maybe a new update cache would fix it.

Awesome phone. Too quirky

Simply unlocking boot loader and flashing stock rooted rom nearly bricked my phone and definitely bricked wife's phone. Now my wife is on her old evo due to bricking and I don't want to go through this again on the my lg when jelly bean comes out next month. HTC was much easier and more reliable. Just my 2 cents.

I have done this 3x on two different phones using TWRP and have not had one issue. I am not sure what happened but I promise you it was not the phone. CWM is buggy, so I see why your wife's phone is messed up. However I can only assume you have some corrupted download to explain your issues on the other phone. I have also walked a kindergarten teacher with no computer skills beyond word through this over instant message with no problems.

Tried that too although not necessary unless your flashing a custom or deodexed rom. Devs are great. Phone is unstable when it comes to flashing. That's all.

Reinstall drivers. Use tsilenzios automated lgnpst install which has drivers. Then flash stock.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Yea I dont think you like the phone, there is nothing quirky about this phone. Its fast looks beautiful and has awesome battery life.
I like other members have used all the tools avail to root on 6 different phones and haven't had a single issue.
If your flashing stock deodexed ZV9 over ZV8 then you absolutley going to need to wipe everything and only use twrp at the current moment as it is the most stable recovery we have.
There is never a reason to not do a full factory reset wipe cache/dalvik cache other than being lazy , and yes I understand that having to re-do all apps and contacts is a pain but if you use gmail to its potential ( all of us androiders should) then logging back into your account does most of the work and leaves no room for questions or error.

I've never had any issue at all with flashing

[Q] Help please possible brick :(

Hey guys so i rooted my phone using odin and was attempting to put on cyanogen mod 10.1 when it failed and i restored to factory settings. then i thought ill restore to my previously saved backup and it stayed at the samsung screen that lights up behind the white lettters. now i tried going into recovery mode and restoring to factory and also tried clear cache and delvik cache. only problem is it still got stuck at the samsung screen so i then tried to reroot it on obin but since there was a binary count of 1 it didnt work what can i dooo

binary count wouldn't stop anything from flashing. after flashing a stock rom with odin again, make sure to go directory into recovery to wipe data/factory reset and then boot up the phone.

I got it working then I tried to put cyanogen 10.1 on and it crashed again idno what the deal is I put it on sd card and loaded it with root manager
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

root manager? or rom manager?
sent from my I747

Don't use rom manager to flash a rom. Odin back to stock (Samsung devices are special that way) or use one of the root injected firmwares in one of the stickies in the development section. Once you get set up, download goo manager from the play store (you must be rooted to use it). From the menu of goo manager install recovery script, you will then have twrp recovery installed. Then follow the instructions in the op for the rom you want to flash. If this seems foreign to you then Odin back to stock and stay there. If you want to continue to modify your device read and read some more. Tony stark has a thread with all the information you need. Just Google search.

HELP!! I Have a Kindle Fire with twrp v2.0.0 trying to get working again!

I am new to site and recently acquired a Kindle fire that has been rooted and had android I believe 4.1 installed and I was in the settings and was adjusting the grid size for the home screen and it just bugged out now I am stuck at the TWRP v2.0.0 screen with the 8 options!
I have read [GUIDE] Kindle Fire For Beginners and am still lost on what to do, and feel like :silly: !! I have your basic knowledge of computers and with a little help can normally accomplish what I'm looking to do!
So now is where I ask for help with my situation and would be very happy and thankful for it!
I am looking to get back to the way it was when I bought it and if it means starting from scratch by completely flashing the kindle back to out of the box and going from there so if this does happen again I know what to do on my own and don't have to feel that I am being a pain to anyone!
Thank you for reading and hope to hear from anyone soon! A HUGE THANKS in advance for any help and info you may give!

Restoring to stock for the purpose of going through the process of modifying it again is pointless and can cause bigger problems if you don't know how to deal with it. Instead, try to reinstall your ROM.
Before you do that, what exactly are you looking to get out of your KF?
