Hey guys.
I've got TWRP recovery installed.. but after three months I want to revert back to Clockworkmod Recovery.
I'm already gonna do a factory reset (because of problems and I want to be sure it's not a hardware fault..).
Though I'm not sure if I still got TWRP or got no recovery and can simply install one afterwards..
So simply my question: How do I get CWM on my device after a factory reset?
Thanks!
Just get the recovery img and flash it in fastboot.
Factory reset normally only wipes the data partition, unless you ran a RUU then your recovery will be untouched

I tried to install CM10 on my GS3 and it stayed on the CM10 boot logo all night so I tried to revert to a nandroid backup, and it then stuck on the Samsung boot logo. When I was trying to flash full stock firmwrae with Odin, it froze on the cache part, and apparently CWM can't mount the cache. What am I doing wrong? Is there any hope for my phone?
Redownload you stock rom, it might be corrupted.
After the flash if it still gets stuck booting, go into recovery mode and factory refresh. Restart and it should work. Your phone is just soft bricked. Make sure you download the right rom for your phone.

I'm unable to restore the backed up stock rom, 2 months back before flashing a custom rom I made backup of my stock ROM (GB sense 3.0) via cwm and now for some reason I want to restore stock, but when I restore it, the device bootloops simply stucks at htc logo and then restarts and goes back into recovery, i even wiped every thing before restore, but ntg works and I I can't flash ruu , as my device is imported from some other country, so don't know from where the dealear got the phone,please help
is it because of the change in the version of cwm? because later I flashed the new touch cwm, this problem is only while I try to restore backed up stock, when I flash a custom ROM then there is no issue, custom ROM boot up properly.
Hey, i have the exact same problem. I was told that it was to do with recovery not being able to restore the kernel scince im s-on. Dont know what you are on, but i had the exact same symptoms. The only way out is to find the right RUU, from wich country did the phone come?

I have s-off, I even tried flashing the boot.IMG if back up but it fails to flash via PC with fast boot command and I guess eng-soff is needed to flash boot.IMG via PC,, and I guess my phone has come from Norway,,i hope there is any cwm flashable stock available....
No s-off is needed to flash using fastboot. You just neet to be in thw fastboot part of you bootloader. Maybe that will work.

I'm stuck on logo boot screen. I believe the problem is because I formatted the root partition of phone.
I can get into to download mode and install stock firmware. I can also install recovery like TWRP, OUDHS or CWM
I can't do factory reset b/c phone can't mount /data. It can't format /sdcard either
Any ideas? I'm thinking I need the pit file to restore the partition table but having trouble locating one
This happened before with my Galaxy Player and I was able to restore with stock firmware & pit

It kinda worked. I could boot into now but if I restart it gets stuck at logo unless I go into recovery wipe data, factory reset then install rom

I figured it out. Instead of factory reset with TWRP or CWM I tried with stock Samsung recovery
I Odin stock recovery. Sorry I forgot where I download it from but it was in one of these threads
(1) Put in download mode. Then Odin stock firmware (everything unchecked)
(2) Unplug USB cable & pull battery. Boot into recovery (vol up + power). It took a few tries to do this
(3) Factory reset & wipe data
(4) Reboot
Hope this helps anyone else with same problem
I installed elemental x kernel and all was fine went back into recovery and twrp is asking for a password and i cannot mount anything when i boot the system i all kinds of FC's now...
I fixed it by reformatting data then restarting recovery

i cannot restore data....
Many people have had this problem.
When you're asked for a password, hit cancel. Then go to Wipe and Factory Reset. If that doesn't work, then restart your recovery. If that still doesn't work then try reflashing TWRP again.
When you do the fastboot oem unlock, you should do it using stock recovery and let it reboot and wipe data.
Then boot back into bootloader to install twrp.
Don't do both at the same time.

I did... was running fine a few days and all of sudden this happened. Wiping data did but i still could not restore data from backup i had to reset and restore from titanium.
When TWRP does this to me I reboot into system then with goomanager I reinstall TWRP. It seems that some changes in the system cause this. AOSP Browser appears to do this to me or the kernel as those are the only thing I have on that modifies the system. Need more testing

Hi, I have the same problem and I can't boot my tablet in normal mode, it remains frozen on start animation screen. I started unlocking bootloader with no problems and the problem started after i install the TWRP 2.6.3.0. I'm on Android 4.3.1 (JLS36I). I can't wipe or mount /data, I can't enter in ADB Sideload mode.
I tried to fix it installing TWRP again and I also installed CWM but with the same result.
I was trying to find the original recovery image but with no success.
Any idea about how to get out of this mess?
Thanks!

If it is frozen on X then your /data is messed up. Do a wipe data factory reset from recovery.
If it is frozen on Google, then your /system is messed up, to a nowipe factory image restore.
It is doubtful TWRP caused this problem. Most likely your tablet corrupted /data and it only showed up after a reboot.

It was frozen on X but I couldn't wipe it because it didn't mount /data, all the wipe commands failed.
Now I could fix the problem. What I did was to connect an external drive through USB-OTG and I installed the SuperSu zip (the step where I was stuck), after that I could format data and perform a Factory Reset. After the first complete boot, the TWRP stopped to ask password and everything seems to be OK.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have a non-rooted i747 that runs latest OctOS .
What is the easiest way to replace CWM with TWRP?
can I flash TWRP from within CWM?
Also, will TWRP replace CWM or install sidelines with CWM?
Thanks,
You can use Odin to flash tar version of twrp over Cwm.

Thanks! Flashing with Odin was a breeze. It overrode CWM for sure, although couple questions:
1) why is my splash screen still showing that ClockworkMod's alien image?
2) why installing TWRP recovery forced a reset of the OS. is there some dependency?
Unfortunately, I haven't used CWM for a long time; therefore, I'm not sure why the splash screen still shows the alien image.
I have flashed from older to newer versions of twrp without resetting the ROM. Maybe the switch in recovery causes the reset? I know that I have flashed twrp over the stock recovery without affecting the ROM.

Did it actually force a factory reset? I've never had TWRP do that. Newer versions of TWRP will usually ask if you want to keep system read only the first time you boot into it with a fresh rom. Are you sure that isn't what it did?

Yes it factory reset, although still kept many residual folder/files from installation from about 3 years ago. I just went with default twrp's settings and used the most recent twrp .tar file (Dec 2017). Either way (os reset or not) is fine, I just did not expect that...
