[Q] Galaxy Gear wont recover as TWRP - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Ok, so I was following this tutorial on how to put a custom ROM onto my Galaxy Gear by The Unlockr.
And this problem has happened to me twice already and Ive went back and double checked all of my steps alot of times on the 3rd try, but it still happened.
The problem is that after I move the custom ROM into the gears SD card and then I put it into recovery mode all it does is say "Installing system update" and then it boots up as a newly reset gear.

What are the actual steps that you are taking to accomplish this...you are rooted I assume did you flash the null twrp recovery with odin

Yes, Ive successfully rooted the gear and flashed the recovery using odin on all times Ive tried it.
Heres what I did:
Enabled USB Debugging on Gear
Installed Samsungs Drivers
Plugged in Gear and let drivers install
Ran Cydia Impactor
Hit start on Impactor
Allowed access on the Gear
Hit start again (This time it finished the process)
Used WonderGo or whatever to put SuperSU on the Gear
Ran SuperSU and accepted the binary update or whatever
Now it is successfully rooted.
I then Downloaded the Recovery from the link in the tutorial. The file name was "null_03_TWRP2.7.tar.md5"
I opened Odin and unchecked the auto reboot box
I clicked AP and selected "null_03_TWRP2.7.tar.md5"
I hit start and it said that it successfully flashed the recovery
I opened WonderGo and under my device I hit files then chose SD card
I clicked add and added the ROM I downloaded from the tutorial, the ROMs file name was "null_21" and it was a ZIP file
Once it was done moving it to the SD card I checked to see it was in the right place, the root of the SD card, it was.
I Unplugged my Gear and put it into the menu that has "continue", "download", and "recovery"
I selected recovery
But instead of it going to TWRP it went to the stock Android System Update screen and then when it was done it rebooted as a new, reset gear

After you flash the recovery the null_03_.. you should boot up right into the recovery if not from there you should figure out what's wrong !!

Wait, are you saying that when I use Odin to flash the recovery and then reboot the gear it should reboot into the recovery that I flashed?

Yes....When you finish flashing recovery hold down the power button for 3 seconds or so boot Into the 3 options and choose recovery twrp should pop up then ...I usually backup my stock rom first then wipe dalvic cache and factory then flash the custom rom ...profit !!

But in the tutorial it says to flash the recovery, add the ROM, and then reboot into TWRP
Not just boot into TWRP without adding the custom ROM.

Well I was assuming you already added the rom already with wondershare... you can do that without twrp just root access before the recovery process!!

Yes, thats what im saying, i know it should boot right into TWRP but it doesnt, it just boots as a new Gear. And i cant figure out why.

Sounds like twrp is not sticking. There are lots of posts about this
I think best way to fix is flash stock mk7, then try and install twrp. You may need to stop odin from auto rebooting and may also need to remove a file from the gear (can't remember the name, but have a look around)

boot twrp gear

Can not flash CWM :(

Hi I'm trying to install miui for my sister in law on her Galaxy S but I can't seem to install CWM.
I've downloaded rom manager from the market clicked on flash recovery (fist option) then from the list chose samsung galaxy s. The next I clicked on reboot to recovery but when it boots into it, it says at the top Android system recovery (3e)
What am I doing wrong???? :s
PS I don't have a memory card inside my phone trying to install via the internal sd storage. The also I don't have access to my pc so need to do it off my phone. Please any help appreciated thank you.

When you boot into recovery press the buttons a couple of times. Ie, 3button combo to boot, release all the buttons and press the 3buttons again. I have had the same problems on 3sgs's and this seemed to work on them.
No luck
Any one else have any ideas. Please any help is appreciated.

I have clockworkmod recovery installed and when i click on reboot to recovery or use the 3 button configuration it only boots into the android system recovery.
I can not for the life of me get the Cwm recovery to boot up.
Is there a kernel I can flash with rom manager to get cwm installed

It's definitely rooted? What rom is it currently on?

Darkys rom. Plus i have titanium backup installed and backed up my apps. Superuser is working perfectly.
I want to install miui the official rom.
Anyway I can without having to use a pc??
Sent from my GT-I9100
If it's on Darky's rom, it should have cwm already! Not sure if you can do it from your phone now mate.
Once you've got the cwm sorted (hopefully it's a gingerbread rom) you need to format system, data and cache, then flash Miui.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Ahhh.
Flash darky RE via Odin. But if you are running darky kernel you should have cwm. Uninstall cwm app and try again.

If i understand well, you can't use odin because you don't have PC,right? Well:make sure that your phone is rooted. Go to market and get that application : "sgs kernel flashar " the one by neldar.
Then download a kernel for your firmware, and make sure you download a tar file or obtain a zimage file. Flash it with the application mentioned, you don't need any cwm. After that you flash the new kernel you should have a cwm installed.
If i understand wrong I'm sorry.

Gear custom rom installation issue

Dear all,
First of all, thank you very much for the efforts made on this forum and thanks f0mey for the fine work and I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting this issue
I have come across an issue while trying to install the custom ROM null_, I have tried two different ones (16 & 17)
the issue is that after rooting and installing the custom null_03_TWRP2.7.tar.md5 file using ODIN, i have uploaded the rom file ("null_ 16.zip" / "null_ 17.zip") using mobilego in the download mode in /sdcard and tried to go to the recovery, it doesnt boot up witht he recovery but it shows: "install system update" and it wipes the device.
I have checked the rooting, supersu requests authorisation to give root access, tried to select the rom in ROM toolbox but can't get it to work, it keeps wiping the device
Am I doing something wrong?
googling around shows that many users are having the same issue, somes of them found that the file was corrupt in the /sdcard/ but mine I uploaded it many times and always same result
can you please help?
Thank you

Hello and happy new year!
I am very sorry as I forgot to mention that I have deleted the recovery-from-boot.p file from the system folder as well but still wiping the device
to be sure, I have rooted the device, went to the download mode, executed ODIN, after the reboot, deleted the recovery from boot file and copied the rom and rebooted to the recovery mode but then it wipes the device
done something wrong?
thank you for your help, much appreciated!

You need to delete the recovery-from-boot.p PRIOR to booting in this OS..
Otherwise it will just reflash the stock recovery..
Easiest way to flash is untick the auto reboot option in ODIN, flash the recovery, reboot DIRECTLY into recovery either with adb commands or by using the hardware key.

ROM Install Issue

Hello,
I ran into an issue while trying to install X-Note 7. I rooted my phone via the Kingoapp method and it worked. From there I installed the bootstrap recovery which also installed successfully. I went on to install the X-Note 7 rom by placing it in the ex-card and going into recovery mode. Once there, I created a new rom slot on which I installed the new ROM. It said it was successfully installed and I opted to reboot from there. Since then, it's been stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Page. If I take my battery off and hold down power+volume up+home button, I can enter that recovery mode but its not the same as bootstrap. I do not know what to do from this point on. Any help will be appreciated!

Just do a factory reset from the main system recovery and redo everything over from scratch.

Thanks for the reply! I was able to completely unroot it using the method detailed on the link below. I'm going to reroot it but am afraid I may run into this issue again If I attempt to reinstall the same ROM.

Nah you'll be fine. Something just didn't go as planned. Make sure you read all the instructions listed and don't skip any steps. If you follow Xnotes installation guide to the "T", it will work.

[Recovery] and [Root] Galaxy Tab 3 Lite T110, CWM, TWRP, Philz Touch

End of support. Thread closed.
If you get stuck in recovery and can't boot into Android, you need to install the stock recovery to get Android to boot.
Stock recovery flashable zip located HERE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
READ THIS POST BEFORE INSTALLING ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY
CWM Recovery 6.0.4.8
(TWRP is in post 3, Philz Touch in post 4)
Click HERE for the latest version.
Please report any bugs here in this thread.
Thank you to everyone who has (and still will) help in testing!!!!

@Unjustified Dev for device and kernel source trees
and of course Koush and the CyanogenMod team
Watch THIS VIDEO tutorial for a step by step visual guide for performing the instructions listed below (thanks @Tomsgt for the video).
Instructions:
1. Download ODIN on your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them). Also need to enable USB debugging.
7. Select "PDA" (or AP) then choose the recovery file you want to flash. (Unzip the file you downloaded so that you have a file named "recovery.tar.md5".)
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if CWM doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 9).
After you get the custom recovery working, you can flash the latest SuperSu zip to get root.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watch this video to learn about the navigation issues and Rainbow Mode: http://youtu.be/iCNdxlNzdBI
If the highlight doesn't move on the recovery menu, the selection actually does change. Go ahead and hit Power to select. If the menu goes blank, just hit Volume Up or Down to get it to reappear.
It appears that the menu navigation issue only happens when you use the button combination to boot into recovery. If you use the Quick Boot app or "adb reboot recovery", it seems to work properly. Only use the 3-button method to boot into recovery.

Flash at own risk!!!!

Did you wipe anything while booted into recovery? I sounds like system or boot was wiped. You may need to flash the stock firmware in Odin.

I would try to delete as much (wipe) as possible from your phone to make it work again. Wiping doesn't remove your recovery. Or flash another recovery tar if you can get into download mode.
install odin on windows pc: http://depositfiles.com/files/m2n77b1vc
install samsung drivers on windows pc: http://developer.samsung.com/technic...000000117#none
get cyanogenmod 12.1: http://novafusion.pl/
get the odin version
when mobile powered off, hold volume down, home and power button. You get the downloadmode option on your screen, let go all buttons and press volume up button.
Now connect the phone to your pc with the usb cable and let odin find it.
Load the tar file in the downloaded zip file as pda and flash it.
If you want clockwork mod, install this as tar, also in pda flash option: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526789241
If your samsung doesn't work but you can still get into download mode, view next page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2122548
and install a fail safe firmware according to your type of phone.
What I don't understand is why the flashing went wrong, I did everything right, at least I think. Wipe everything and flash the rom, why didn't it work?
