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! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards
I recently made the decision to root my Note 3. I used the CF auto Root process with was wonderfully painless. I was pleased to see my Note was rooted and confirmed within minutes. I then (like I always do) attempted to reboot into whatever recovery I then had. I sadly ran into a recovery boot loop similar to this screenshot in the attached file.
I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. Once there I installed ROM Manager to verify what Recovery I had. It said I have CWM. So I attempted to update it and the update failed. (Re-attempted more than 5 times) I tried to install TWRP and I fell into another recovery boot loop.
I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. I tried to update CWM using ROM toolbox. (Allegedly successful) I attempted to reboot into recovery & ran into a recovery boot loop.
I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. I need a more solid way to update CWM. Better yet, I wonder why am I having so much difficulty updating it in the 1st place. Any thoughts?

Here is what you can do to solve the recovery problem.
Here is a direct download link to TWRP recovery which you need to odin flash,
once you have odin flashed it you will no longer have any difficulties going into
the custom twrp recovery:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
p.s. for best results forget about cwm and rom manager they are not needed for anything.
Good luck!
What I was trying to do: I have a stock 4.4.2 AT&T GS3 that I wanted to root, and then install Cyanogen Mod.
What I did: I flashed Auto-Root with Odin 3.10, restarted and then flashed TWRP 2.8. I then booted to TWRP and attempted to wipe/format the phone but it showed some errors along the way, I think it was something having to do being unable to mount the SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and flashed CM12 and slim Google Apps zip. When it was flashing both I got a string of errors but it said it was successful.
Where I'm at now: When I try turning the phone on (without holding any buttons down) it attempts to boot straight to the TWRP but gets stuck at the blue TeamWin screen. I'm able to get to download mode by holding down the appropriate buttons. I'm wondering if there's anything I can flash from Odin to resolve this.
I also realized I have unbacked up photos on the device, I don't think the format was successful, is there any way to recover those?
Thanks
To recover the pictures, try re-installing TWRP, boot into TWRP, and mount the partitions. Connect the phone to your computer and copy your pictures.
TWRP
I have had this happen before. Try using Odin to flash an older version of TWRP, uncheck reboot after flash and then when it is done, do a battery pull. This has gotten me back into a working TWRP to restore my previous setup. Note: You made need to go back to 2.6. Once you have gotten back up and running flash to the current TWRP with the app.
Hi there. Here I have my t989 with stable cm11 by Sultanxda and twrp 2.7.0.0 installed.
Everything was fine until I wanted to try 5.0.1.
I got into twrp and did the usual wipe and install ParanoidAndroid 5.0. It failed.
Ok stuff happens so I just went restore my backup no big deal.
Now when I reboot back my phone looks as it were before BUT it reboots after 2-3 minutes in every time it boots back up.
So I thought the power button has problem but soon I figured it is not because my phone won't self reboot in recovery and download mode.
I went back to twrp and try to wipe it clean and install cm11 instead of restoring to my previous backup.
Wipe says successful, install says successful, reboot system. And only to find myself still in my old Rom and nothing was wiped.
All my apps are still there blahblahblah. I tried to update my twrp through twrp manager but phone reboot before it finishes installing.
I grab my odiin and try to update recovery there. Odin says success. Goes to recovery only to find its still in 2.7.0.0
Download a stock .tar and flash it with Odin. Odin says success, boot up and still in my old cm11 rom...
Now I went out of option but ask for help. I have done flashing for 3 years with this phone and I have never gotten this problem before.
Please Help
Hi to everyone.
Recently, I wanted to mod my tablet (SM-T805 chagalllite) and install the TWRP, and then a custom ROM. I followed a guide, dowloaded the twrp.img.tar file, dowloaded ODIN (3.13) and continued. I started my tablet in Fastboot/Odin mode, selected the file under the AP checkbox, connected it to the computer and then flashed the recovery. It said PASS and immediatly after it rebooted I pressed the key combo Power+Home+VolUp but it started normally. When I returned to the fastboot mode, it said KNOX WARRANTY VOID 1, so it did something. But simply the recovery wont start up, although I retried another 3 times. I tried with the AutoRoot package, it did the red android thing, the SuperSu app was there but the Root Binary wasn't. Any help?
P.S:
The twrp and odin are both at last version.
Nevermind, I solved my problem. I installed CF Autoroot which reinstalled stock recovery, and flashed TWRP using its official app.:good:
I need help was using twrp 321 some thing for quite a while and had no issues flashing ROMs back up ect. But I tried to do a restore and it failed due to , unable to mount system.
Ok no problem i thought I'll reboot and try again. Only now twrp loads the splash screen then reboots it self. IV tried updating to latest version with Odin still doesn't help. Samsung t805 here please help

Ok I fixed it the back up from twrp curreupted the recovery partition. Even reinstall twrp doesn't work or trying to get the stock recovery. To fix it you need to download the entire stock ROM and install the ap via oden in odin mode. My system didn't even boot stock but this fixed the recovery partition and could flash twrp and install a custom ROM
