Easiest way to install latest TWRP once rooted - T-Mobile LG G3

Install latest TWRP once rooted, I have a separate thread about how to root your device.
1. Download latest twrp from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d851
2. Download Flashify (for root users) from play store
3. Open flashify select recovery file you downloaded then flash it to your device. Done
(Boot into recovery menu when device is powered off)
1. Hold volume down and power button simultaneously
2. Soon as LG logo appears immediately let go of both volume down and home button
3. Repeat step one right after step 2
You will be asked to factory reset your device SELECT YES BOTH TIMES and you should boot right into recovery menu.
Done

Thanks for the guide bit it does not work.
I did as you have explained, flashed the twrp image but it does not go to recovery mode after pressing volume down plus power butto. It turns on normally..??
How do i know if the twrp is properly installed??

If at first you don't succeed, try ... try again. You are probably not timing the second press correctly.

No data will be lost. "Yes" twice and you should be in TWRP.

YES I MADE IT.. THANK YOU SO MUCH.:good:
PLEASE MENTION THIS IN YOUR GUIDE THAN ONE HAVE TO PRESS THE SAME BUTTONS AGAIN "IMMEDIETELY" AFTER SEEING LG LOGO.

This only works if you have the play store (and thus GAPPS) installed. I however do not.
You should modify the title to reflect that.

Great work on this TWRP. Works great on LP also after using a bumped boot.img and kk aboot also. Anyway to speed up backup's? Seems like over 10 minutes+ to backup to SD Card.
---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------
Ok, tried my first backup restore on TWRP from SD Card and it failed! Hmm. Anybody else have a successful restore? Just got my G3 so this is the first TWRP I've tried. Send you a PM OP.
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------
Tried TEAMWin's TWRP and backup restore failed also. Must have been a bad backup. Gonna try backup again with TeamWin's and restore and see what happens.

this link from the stock rom thread points to a version 2.8.6.1 which is newer than everything in the OP link
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxgcaWaR5dRTZExOQnZGWV91U3M/edit?pli=1
is this the right one to use?

what are the steps to go back to no twerp and no root and back to oem phone?
on my g2 I would go to factory reset in the setting and it would only boot into recovery mode..

I just searched for TeamWin TWRP and D851. Got a link to here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/249/ Seems twrp-2.8.7.0-d851.img is latest.

Update: I was trying to find a safe way to update TWRP and went back to the below site. The instructions now say to update with TWRP Manager. It worked flawlessly.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/249/
Install TWRP Manager. Tap on Install TWRP. Select your device from the device list (d851) and then tap on Install Recovery. The file will download and be installed automatically.

AT&T galaxy s3 softbricked

I was trying to install one of drewgarens touchwiz roms. touchwiz milestone 5 firefly i believe. not the most recent one because i was too lazy . boy was that a mistake. everything was going smoothly until it booted and it got stuck on boot. I thought no big deal just go into recovery and use a backup. until i did so and recovery was gone and there was only download mode. I have spent the whole afternoon trying to fix it and none of it has worked. I tried flashing the stock rom and it as well got stuck on boot. I looked at all the AT&t relevant ones and also the international versions. so all in all is there anyway to fix this and has anyone had the same issue? i was flashing from cyanogenmod 10 m1 to the drewgaren rom btw. I can also go to download mode. I tried to flash stock but it still gets stuck on boot. log. I flashed the ATT boot logo and it did not work. all of which were flashed through odin.
any thanks in advance is greatly appreciated.
I think you can flash back to stock with just download mode + odin

Unplug your device. Hold the power button to turn it off. Hold volume up, home, and power. It should go to recovery. If you do the same thing with volume down instead of up, you can get into download mode.

Follow the instructions and you should be able to flash the recovery and continue on with what you were doing. Remember to wipe really good when going from aosp back to any stock based ROM. They are completely different and will cause boot loops if you don't wipe.

K I made it home lol. I'll attach a Odin flashable cwm, it's an older one but it'll get you a recovery, I hope. I just tried it on my phone with Odin, 3.07 both with usb debugging enabled and disabled on my phone and it worked both times. Crap keep getting errors uploading right to xda servers, I'll drop box it in a minute.
Ok here we go Odin cwm--> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4.tar.md5
Newest twrp --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/twrp2.3.1install.zip
I'll add the newest twrp for you lol. Flash the cwm with odin, should work and then the twrp is a zip you can flash in cwm.
Hope this helps get you a recovery.
Remember in Odin use only PDA and only have auto reboot checked.

This may sound like a stupid question but what boxes do i tick in odin?
After your hooked up and Odin is open under the options on the left side check only Auto Reboot. On the right under files check PDA and use that button to browse your computer and find the cwm you downloaded from my dropbox. Then just hit start on the bottom of the Odin window and let it finish, your phone should reboot when its done. It will get stuck again like you described in your first post but pull the battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using vol up,home and power buttons. That should (if everything flashed OK) put you into cwm 5.5.0.4. Once there wipe data/factory reset then restore the back up you mentioned in your original post, that should get you running again.

If something has happened to your backup then you could try the stock rooted stuff here , just pick the one for your carrier and follow the instructions. :highfive:

I was able to get it into recovery but i realized i did not have my sd card in so i turned it off and put my sd card in. unfortunately i was not able to get it back into recovery i tried flashing it again with the sd card in and no luck
That's odd. Couple of stupid questions on my part just to make sure, you had the right button combo, and, you released the buttons soon as the splash screen came on? Can you still get into download mode? Oh and did you do the wipes while in recovery?

oh my gosh THANK YOU SOOOMUCH. I was worried i would have to take it to at&t ill be sure to press the thanks button.
I take it you got your phone working lol. Glad I could help a little. Little advice, anytime you switch to a different type of ROM (aosp to stock based or the other way around) make sure you wipe data/factory reset before flashing anything. It will save you problems in the long run.
Oh and could you go back and edit your original post and just add solved in brackets to the title for people in trouble looking for info.

Depending on which stock ROM you flashed with odin you should now have a recovery, if not then something isn't right. The full bone stock ROM should have the factory 3e recovery, and the root injected stock ROM should have some version of CWM recovery. A factory reset will most likely fix your boot loop, if there is no recovery flash the rooted stock ROM that matches your device from this guide.

How to Enter Recovery Mode on LG G Pro

shutdown it down - turn off the phone wait few secs before going to next step
hold volume up button while holding power button also
when lg logo appear release/unpress power button just for a sec or two and then press and hold it back
Done

I try alot off time but dont secsuss
Assuming that the phone's power is off:
Hold down volume up button, then push the power button and hold it down. Count to 4 and stop holding the power button, but keep holding the volume up button. You should see the lg logo and then your recovery 5 ~ 7 seconds afterwards. Btw, which recovery are you using?

Have you try freegee in the play store? It installs the older version of cwm or twrp, but it's a start. Once you install the custom recovery, you can try flashing the newer version such as Philz cwm or newer version of twrp.
thanks
i do all this but no chances to enter into recovery
can help me with a video for that method
check if u have recovery mode installed
get FreeGee
and boot to it

I tried that before and got error messages. Some people say it worked and some say they had to wipe everything and it still did not work. Maybe the newer version works as I tried this 2 months ago.

Heyy! I wanna install twrp and then install cm12 nightly but I've read on other threads that flashing twrp directly will brick my phone and I'll have to install cwm first then cwm touch then twrp from there but on another thread it tells me to directly install twrp from freegee on stock JB.
Can anyone explain this to me? It's really confusing and I wanna know if flashing twrp will brick my phone. Im on stock kk but ill go back to JB and try it. Someone tell me if thats a good idea?

While you're on stock ROMs, just use Philz Touch. But if you ever go to like CyanogenMod or any other non-stock ROM. Flash that ROM with Philz Touch, then flash official TWRP. After, you can stay on TWRP once running a custom ROM.

[Q] Stuck in download mode / boot-image

Hi guys,
could anyone please help, I've been playing around quite a lot with rooting and flashing, but now I'm stuck with a problem I can't solve...
Device
Galaxy Tab S 8.4 WIFI (SM-T700 klimtwifi)
Starting point
Flashed CM12 , with CF root and TWRP
Everything ok, but had some trouble with wifi and root, so I wanted to flash a new rom.
Problem
Tried flashing another rom (can't remember if it was AROMA or BlissPop...), but the flashing got stuck.
Now I can only access Download-mode, not Recovery and normal boot gets stuck in the white Samsung-logo, I get past first screen and some other Samsung-animation.
What I've tried
Access to Recovery, not working (I have a stock-backup on internal SD)
Flashed stock image via Odin (T700XXU1ANL1_T700AUT1ANL1_HOME.tar.md5). Should be on right now, but no change in working.
Re-flash TWRP via Odin (tar-file)
Have I missed something? Any problem with going back and forth between Android 4 and 5?

After flashing the stock image, factory reset in recovery again.
But I can't get into recovery, even after flashing stock...
To elaborate, pressing vol up + power + home does not have any effect. Pressing vol down + home + power gives downloading mode as normal.

Sounds like one of the partitions is damaged, its strange because when you flash the stock firmware it relays all the partitions, just to verify you downloaded one of the big factory images from sammobile.com that's 1.6gb big, then flashed with Odin the extracted tar file...also you might not have a custom recovery installed if you have so vol up and home n power wouldn't work......
Maybe your way out of this is going the other way, flash a custom recovery through Odin, then get into that and use it to install ironrom which is like stock but cleaner.

Just to elaborate when flashing stock through Odin it wipes your custom recovery and root...hence why you need to use auto root again through Odin.

Okay sounds like you've hit a dead end but don't panic your not the first to hit this point with t700.
Okay here's what I want you to do,
1. Open up device manager and completely remove your adb driver making sure to check the "also delete driver " box if shown
2. Download this http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html the latest Google adb drivers ..DL this ready actually.
3. Completely disable anti virus..remove if you have to, along with windows defender .
4. Restart
5. Download "i know it seems mad" the austrailian firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43233/T700XXU1ANL1_T700XSA1AOA1_XSA/ and extract the file inside the archieve
6. Right click Odin and run as administrator to be safe.
7. Go for gold and try this...if it works your laughing and can change the firmware or ROM to any local area.
8. If...this doesn't work...restart one last time n try again, if still no then try using another laptop or PC if you can
Good luck keep me updated...I am trying to find you another solution too, got an idea with something called heimdall but not sure as never used it, supposed to be an alternative to Odin.
Hi All, finally had the time to sit down and test your solutions. As it happens, the first (easiest) thing I tried was the timing in pushing recovery boot, according to great help of Maxal. Worked on first attempt, booted into stock recovery, wiped everything and stock rom booted. I was prepared to do it all, so it was funny that a few well-timed presses of buttons solved it .
Now I'm rooted with TWRP and BlissPop again. Thanks everyone for great suggestions and assistance!
I also solved, it was enough to wait for the battery becomes exhausted, recharge the tablet and once off from entering recovery and do a factory reset.
The system is restarted.

[Q] [Q&A] Flashed TWRP but keep going to Stock Recovery?

I rooted a while back with Stump. I recently used flashify to flash twrp recovery as I want to install a lollipop ROM. It was successful and when I restarted the phone as prompted by the app, I went to the TWRP recovery screen.
1) When i manually power off the phone and try to boot into recovery I end up on the Stock recovery page rather than TWRP recovery. The only way i can get back to twrp is by reflashing it in the flashify app. Any idea what is going on?
2) While I was in twrp i explored and tried to create a backup. Any reason why twrp failed to recognize my external SD card and would not let me mount it? My computer and phone both access it without issue.
Thanks for the help.
If you want answers, you need to provide more info, not just ask for help and not give the required info.
What phone model.
What Rom are you running? Lollipop or KitKat and what version.
What steps are you doing to try and get into TWRP.
You don't need to reflash it every time with flashify, open flashify hit the menu button, the 3 dots in the top right and guess what, reboot options.
Can't help you with the backup in TWRP not saving to your SD Card, but you could backup to internal, then reboot and copy the backup to your pc then try and copy it to SD Card.
Sorry for not being more specific.
Verizon VS985
Still running rooted stock 4.4.2
I'm holding down power/volume down to try and manually enter twrp.
I'm worried about relying on the app in case something goes wrong while flashing and I need to get directly to recovery manually. I was going to do the backup to internal and copy method but that leaves me out of luck if I need to restore from the ext SD in the event of a bad flash that stops me from booting the phone.
If you are rooted, download Quick Boot from Google Play Store and and use it to boot into recovery, or as @samorgs said, just use the 3 dots button to access into the boot option. If you can boot it into recovery mode through that, it means you have TWRP installed already. So it is normal to go to stock recovery screen manually. Same as my phone, I off my phone, hold down power+volume down and wait till LG logo appear, release power button and hold it back (still holding volume down) and it will bring me to stock recovery page, proceed with YES to factory reset and this will not wipe your data BUT brings you to TWRP recovery.
Hit Thanks if I've helped

You can refer here
So, just to be clear, in order to get to TWRP manually you have to select factory reset from the stock recovery page (reached by using power+vol down while the phone is off). This will not wipe any data but will in fact bring you to the TWRP screen?
Is this always this case with our model? Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks!

Not exactly how you described it. You have to hold Volume down and the power button until the device's screen turns on, and then as soon as it does, you press them again. (volume down and power.) only holding volume down and power will take you into download mode.

Unlocked Recovery boot Problem HTC d820n

Hello
I have an HTC d820n that is unlocked, It has stock rom.
I updated my HTC 820n 's SU binary( Because SuperSU told me to *
Afterwards my phone always restarted to the recovery. I tried:
-Clearing cache(From wipe tab)
-Restore
-Factory reset(from Wipe tab)
-Force restarting using ADB on windows CMD
In the order listed but nothing helps as restarting always puts me back into recovery.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do? I am not too fond of custom roms, but if you can link me a good guide on it I might be able to pull it off.
I am also considering to get my HTC back to stock if that is needed. Links to posts regarding this are also welcome!
Thanks in advance.

You have reboot to recovery bug, first search our forum how to repair it, if nothing helps then flash stock boot.img and only use power off in recovery, never reboot to recovery
Wll try that

I can only find 1 post about it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...-820-rebooting-recovery-black-screen-t3231447)
I sais to "Copy your Lollipop recovery to the device over adb: adb push recovery.img /external_sd/recovery.img"
But this is impossible as I do not have a recovery . Is it possible to use a recovery that was not made from this Phone ?

Oh I think I have another solution. When you are in recovery press and hold vol up + power until the phone goes off and then vol down + power and when you are in hboot choose reboot
If it not help I'll send you a recovery

I had a friend over and he put his time into it. We deleted the ROM present at that time and searched for a custom ROM(none where found because low support for this model)
But we managed to find a stock ROM and a recovery and Flashed it using fastboot.
Everything works again altought SuperSU keeps giving the notification on startup.(I ignore it wisely)
I can't update using the software updater in settings, Phone just reboots into recovery and needs to be restarted( because it is a slightly wrong ROM I guess)
If you could hook me up with an original ROM for the htc820n. Or with a solution to update using ADB(Friend does this on his phone but can't seem to find how it works for HTC)
That would help me alot.
