Ok so I need some help here. On the Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition , I've installed twrp 2.6.3.0. I need to install 2.6.3.3 but whenever I flash it and boot in recovery, it's stock Android recovery. It does this for any other version except 2.6.3.0. Please help!

Just untick "Auto-Reboot within odin & flash , then reboot manually power+volume up.
Another thing: I can't use odin because I don't have a computer. There's an app called flashify that installs recoveries but it still only works with 2.6.3.0. Even installing the latest version from goo manager doesn't work.

I tried several different ways of flashing this recovery, and in the end the only way that worked was in odin.

I think I will need to install TWRP with Odin -- goomanager isn't working for me. It SAYS that it has installed TWRP, but every time I try to get into recovery all I get is the standard Android recovery.
My question, please is this: where did you get the tar file for TWRP, and which slot did you use with Odin? Was it the PDA?
Thanks very much

I got mine by going to the twrp site, but I admit it wasn't exactly easy to find. You can know you're getting the right version of TWRP if you download CPU-Z from the play store and check the third page that says system; the model name gives you the store citric name you'll look for when you go to the TWRP site, but the link I gave you is for the lt03wifiue .
Have fun!

If your Odin says PDA then you need to get the latest version. There's only one spot you can use in the newest one...

Twrp issues..
Ok,,,, I've Read and Read, I have a galaxy note 2014, 600, wifi only.... Have it rooted with odin, But I cannot get twrp installed. I've tried odin several times to no success.Alos tried gooim or whatever its called. The tablet always goes back to the android recovery... Ive read that it can be done, also that it cant be done. So am i wasting time, or just screwing something up.... Any help would be greatly appreciated...
The easiest way to install twrp is to use goomanager. Hit menu and hit install open recovery

Goo manager doesn't work on our tablet for install of twrp.
Use the link four posts up for the twrp. Also, just check your SOC with CPUz, to make sure it's actually the right version of twrp for your tablet. But Odin is the way to go.

I'm hoping maybe someone could enlighten me how to get TWRP to boot into TWRP. I had CleanRom installed and everything was working with TWRP. Stupid me I thought I could help battery life by doing a Cache and Dalvik Cache wipe. Bonked my P600! I had to ODIN a new firmware, rooted and tried to get TWRP installed. I've tried the ODIN Tar method 2.6.3.1, Tried with a TWRP zip file and Goo Manager to install TWRP and none worked. When I go to recovery I keep getting the Android System Recovery. My head is banging on my desk at the moment. Would anyone have an idea how to get TWRP working on my rooted and now stock P600? I so want to get Clean 2.0 back. :crying::crying::crying::crying:
A big Thanks in advance for the help.
Solved: I'm not sure why but I tried ODIN again and TWRP install. WEIRD
Hey all,
Just got my Gpad 8.3 v50020d kitkat 4.4.2 yesterday. Trying to flash a CM ROM preferably, but having nothing but issues.
I was able to get TWRP 2.8 installed, and make a backup of stock. Have been able to wipe and restore no problems. But everytime I try to flash cm-11-20140910-INFECTED-v500 I get a failed error. Also, can't flash the KitKat gapps-kk-20140606.
Never had problems flashing custom ROMs on my ASUS tablet, galaxy S4, Hisense tablets, so a little guidance would be MUCH appreciated.
I must be overlooking something...please help all.
Thanks so much.

V500 is very tricky tablet, i had issues too, but after few tries i was able to install slimrom, latest weekly build. The newest TWRP is a must, you can't install any ROM without it, so there is probably your problem. If not, try to wipe. First factory reset and then advanced wipe and check first 4 options I think. Flash ROM and it should work.
But I want to ask you - don't you have unmount SD issue? If not, try to monitor it after flashing ROM, it can appear and it's pain in the ass
Well I do know if you take the 4.4.2 OTA after purchase or you buy with 4.4.2 installed,
Its 10 times more of a pain to root/recovery/rom on 4.4.x base, it's a lot easier on 4.2.2 base.
As for TWRP I'm on 2.6.3.2 and never had any problems.

Appreciate the replies all.
After wiping again, I tried flashing CM 11.0 Nightlies and it worked without a hitch. Also flashed the same gapps zip but this time it worked. I don't know whats up, I was having external SD issues so I put the ROMs on internal storage as well.
Now that its all up and running, I have root,and no problems accessing external SD card. Also, knock on works as does my smart cover. Couldn't be happier. Incredible battery life and amazing speed.

probably the easiest way is using this TWRP Manager (ROOT) app from the Play store. It will allow you to install TWRP onto your rooted, unlocked bootloader device.
I did it a harder/longer way without the above app so try the TWRP Manager app first.
Good luck!

I would download the TWRP (for our device) of the xda thread to be honest,
And flash manually through a flashing app off Google Play (I use Flashify, but there a few on there)
In theory if it grabs the TWRP file for the V500 it would have the Loki patch in the recovery file, but I wouldn't take the chance just in case it grabs any random file lol
Manual is the best on the tablet itself, or do it through a PC and push the TWRP file through ADB to the recovery partition.
But now-a-days you just run the .bat files and it does all the mumbo jumbo for you and reboots straight to the recovery.
Hope all goes well!

I agree. Until somebody can confirm that this app works reliably with our tablet, I would go with the manual approach.

I can't remember all the details. But I'm pretty sure I put the 2.6 version of TWRP onto my internal storage, downloads folder, I think (I did have an external SD card installed too, but I can't remember where I put TWRP initially). Then installed it using the stock recovery...Once TWRP 2.6 was on there, I upgraded to 2.8. Then, made my stock backup and then flashed CM 11.

You're rooted right?
My device has an unlocked bootloader. Does yours say the same?
Which version of twrp are you trying to install?
Once above is done try using twrp manager in the play store.
Let me know how it goes.
How do I unlock the freaking bootloader? I have root and twrp but cant boot into it because of the locked bootloader
I am in the same boat. I have rooted my device and I can't get any further.

3. Download odin.
4. Switch off the phone and remove back cover as you will have to pull down battery in next step.
5. Put you phone in download (odin) mode.
6. Flash Philz recovery you just downloaded via odin, after it say Reset in odin and you phone vibrates, quickly pull down the battery.. Do not let the phone switch on.
7. Now go to recovery mode..
8. Flash SuperSu zip which you downloaded and copied in your phone's internal from there.

Download Attached app Root Uninstall to remove system app (So called Blotwares)..

There is also an option to backup the apps.

You might have uninstalled important files...This is might be a side effects.
Do not play with root if you do not have enough knowledge what you are doing.
I'm currently running the stock Rom with build E98020h. I have successfully achieved root access and have verified it through several apps, and also have supersu installed and seemingly operating fine. I have tried using the 'g pro kitkat recovery' app to flash the recovery, and also freegee but freegee at the opening screen says my device is unsupported. When i go into rom manager v5.5.3.7 and try install a custom rom or even just tap boot to recovery i get an error at the loading screen with the LG logo and it sits there. Am i doing something wrong or is the 20h update keeping me from being to successfully reach recovery? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

20h may be blocking you off...
You could try using LG Flash Tool to go back to stock 4.1.2 (E98010k) and then using FreeGee to bypass and go from there. But idk if that'll work.

I don't think that's possible. You're going to have to flash back to an older version using lg flash tools. If you need to back up anything like texts and contacts, use G Cloud. If you need game data/other data related to specific apps backed up, use Helium. If you're attached to stock try flashing a stock ROM, it will be very similar to your experience now. That'll ensure you get the latest KitKat and still get stock experience... you can always go AOSP too.
thanks... I was hoping to just not have to Flashtools my phone again =P and since its been a while since I checked the forums I wasnt sure if 20h was sorted out yet or not.

I found this elsewhere trying to unlock my e980 that was on 20h when I got it.
OK so I found that G Pro KK recovery elsewhere and installed it but wasn't sure what to do from there.. Which option did you choose when running it? Flash recovery, reboot, or reboot recovery? I tried to reboot to recovery and I got into a CWM recovery, but at that point wasn't sure if I was really there or if I needed to flash the recovery from there or from the app.
I'm dying to get rid of the stock ROM on this thing but there are more steps involved than my previous devices.

All the APK does as I have found out is 'unlocks' the recovery access. After I ran that app I installed Freegee from the app store and installed the CMW recovery from there just to make sure it all was installed and correctly accessible. at that point you just need to download the ROM that you are intending to install and download it. put the zip somewhere in your directory. boot to recovery wipe the necessary mediums and then install from the app and CWM will take care of the rest. Most of the forum threads that have the links to the ROMs will have full instructions on how to install that certain ROM. I can supply links to some if need be. NOT MY THREADS but ones I found helpful.

installing the ROM isn't an issue for me, it's getting the recovery installed.
What process did you do after starting up the G Pro Recovery app? install recovery, reboot, then run freegee?

Yes. Open and run the G Pro Recovery app, once that is done you need to reboot. Install Freegee and open it. I installed CWM. You can use whatever you want. Then I reboot again, once the phone comes back up I used clockwork mods recovery manager to get in and out of recovery. Also, I pulled my SD card out of the phone prior to rooting as I would lose access to it after I did the process. So just to be safe you might want to do that.

Which root did you use?
Once you take the update then root your device again you have to do a factory reset on your phone in order to flash a recovery. Currently running E98020I, been there, done that! G Pro KitKat then FreeGee. Mic check 1 2, 1 2

Roottool is an easy way to go Amigo

I found this elsewhere trying to unlock my e980 that was on 20h when I got it.
OK so I found that G Pro KK recovery elsewhere and installed it but wasn't sure what to do from there.. Which option did you choose when running it? Flash recovery, reboot, or reboot recovery? I tried to reboot to recovery and I got into a CWM recovery, but at that point wasn't sure if I was really there or if I needed to flash the recovery from there or from the app.
I'm dying to get rid of the stock ROM on this thing but there are more steps involved than my previous devices.
Thanks!

If you just want to install the recovery, get an app call flashify from the play store. Install the app, then download and then flash the twrp .IMG file that you've gotten from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3144369
Hi I just Rooted my T-mobile lg g3.
Using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
I'm Pretty Much a Complete newb so that said.
From I understand I need to install a cusom recovery so I can flash the stock Rom in case something goes wrong.
Also do I need to turn off ota updates?
Could someone point to a custom recovery, and stock rom. (with detailed instructions)
If it helps the adroid version is 4.4.2, thats what came on it when I got it. which was Monday.
Any Help for a poor nooby would be much appreciated! Many Thanks.

well I followed he prompts and installed busybox and patced to write to external sd, but when i click to select my device name it just goes back to the main page of the app.
I think it says Twrp has stopped. very quickly then takes me back to home page of the app.
After checking I was getting the same error. I really don't know what is up with that program for it to do that. I mainly use it to reboot into recovery. You could find the latest TWRP on XDA, save it to your SD card and use a program called Flashify from the Play Store and flash it that way.

Yeah I got it figured out. Thanks for the help got my backup and started messin around with 3g tweaksbox. Phone is pretty sick now. Do you have any idea how change the system font? Tried downloading some from the playstore, but no luck. it doesn't show in the menu, and I don't see any option to add them.
I'll try to check back asap. Work makes it difficult.
