I've got dual Recovery on my Z. Vol up for CWM and Vol down for TWRP. So here is the problem now.
I flashed a rom using CWM, rebooted and whatnot, and everything seemed fine
So I went to flash another mod and CWM just, well, didn't work... It just kept looping on the Sony logo. So I thought maybe it was a glitch, or just a one off thing... But no... It's not. TWRP still works though.
I prefer using CWM but I'm not entirely bothered about using TWRP, I just want to know WHY it's stop working. Any help???

The Rom you flashed probably only uses TWRP. Flashing ROM's will format /system and get rid of dual boot recovery.

I just checked that and apparently its supposed to use both. It was the Honami ExistenZ rom V1. I read somewhere that it could of corrupted an IMG file..... Not sure that's the reason though...

Hi, I recently tried to root my Galaxy Exhibit, but now it's broken, nothing will load, it all force closes. My home, menu and search buttons do not work, I tried to restore it by using factory reset, but that just messed it up more. I plunged it into Samsung Kies, but it won't recognize the device. How can I restore the phone back, unroot, to factory settings.
This is what I did, first I downloaded TWO custom kernel (or roms, idk the difference.) The first one worked like a charm it was the root stock 1.8 but it was too stock, I wanted ICS so, I restored and I put a different rom/kernel in and booted it up, and boom everything is messed up, my kernel version has not changed, I tried using cwm recovery, but it didn't do anything.
Thanks

Well easy fix, in cwm wipe system or ROM 3 times wipe cache/dalvic cache. Then you can flash ICS and gapps, be advised there is no further development for ICS so I would suggest any 4.1 ROMs or even the 4.2 ROMs. Make sure you flash gapps

Tried reinstalling it using the batch file and I still can't get into cwm. It just sits at the Sony logo until the end of time but the os loads just fine. Any tips? If not, what directory is cwm installed in so I can see what's going on? Thanks!

I HAVE AN XT890 and have been using it for about two weeks..
I rooted the phone and just installed rooted apps on top of stock firmware.
but then I tried installing a mod ROM and it goes trough, but when is at the "Type password to decrypt storage"
I enter my code and it goes fwd but then it just stops at the green android dude that has gears for top and bottom parts....
I thought it was a problem with my password, but I realized that it still recognizes it, since it does not go to the green android sceen if I enter the incorrect password..
I tried to just wait for it.. But no luck..
tried to flash a stock ROM using RSD lite
I get an error with a command Not recognized
In recovery, I try to wipe data, but it says:

Formating /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...

Thanks in advance to all of you guys!!!

I did..
I see the: "warning.. Bootloader unlocked" thing when the phone powers on..
And I am pretty sure I got it from this website.
sorry, this is the version of recovery I am using
Cwm-based Recovery v6.0.1.9
FIXED!!

So.. I got it to work.. This is what I did
Flashed twrp and was able to wipe all data correctly.
Tried to flash ROM but Took too long
Flashed cmw and installed the ROM.. And voilà!!
All is good now!
Nice one. Installing the ROM can take some time. Even in twrp.

Hey guys. Been around for a while and have never encounted this problem. I went to restore back to stock firmware after running a custom rom.. both 4.3... I added the firmware to odin. It failed before it started and rebooted th phone. Figured out that the firmware I downloaded must of been corrupt/incompletly downloaded.. stuck on samsung boot logo.. tried to restore a fresh complete rom but still stuck on boot logo.. is there something I can do to fix it other than sen it in.

You don't mention recovery .
Usual would be to format sdcard system data cache boot to download mode and flash stock rom .
Yeah i have done all that

After install, try pulling the battery during boot then boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe.
Has worked for some

ok guys this what happen.
i plan to refresh my phone. so i installed ARHD ROM with fullwipe, after that i formatted my internal storage thru TWRP.
after that, im stuck with the HTC Logo with the red warning.
i never thought that will happen since i installed the ROM.
i can still use the recovery TWRP but i cant do anything. the phone is totally useless.
i tried reinstalling in thru OTG by mounting it, but still to no avail. is there anyway i could fix this? i really need help.
my phone is running tha latest ARHD 52 (4.4.2)
i dont have any back up
If you can boot into twrp you can use ADB to push a rom to your internal storage then flash.
