Hello all. I'm having a strange problem. I have a T-Mobile D959. I've flashed back to stock JB and rooted and installed CWM/TWRP about ten times before and I never had this problem. Here's the deal:
I flashed back to Jellybean with the kdz. (I was on Dfuse's Stock Rooted KK) After I flashed back and did a factory reset I then used ioroot25 to root. That went as expected. I then downloaded the Freedom Flex app to install TWRP/CWM. When I flash either Recovery it looks like it's working. Superuser comes up and I hit allow. When I choose reboot into recovery or manually try I get to the fastboot menu and I basically have no recovery. I've tried flashing the Jellybean kdz again as well as the KitKat kdz then went back and flashed the Jellybean kdz again. For some reason neither recovery will install. I am definitely rooted as root checker and Root Explorer confirm that. When I flash either kdz to go back to stock it does indeed install the stock recovery again. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? Thanks for your help.
Not sure but does the kdz. Reflash the aboot

I'm pretty sure it does as I lost recovery completely when I first got the phone when I tried flashing TWRP and flashing the kdz fixed that.

I am pretty new to ROOTing android phone. I wanted to upgrade my HTC incredible S to Jelly bean. I was successfully able to UNLOCK the phone. But in recovery menu, i have installed/flashed the Jelly bean (PACman-v19.3-VIVO-BLINDNDUMB.zip) OS before installing Superuser. Now the mobile is booting only in recovery mode everytime. Please help me on this. Is my phone gone for good?
I guess that you are probably s-on. Do the following steps. Format all partitions except the sd card using the recovery. I hope you installed a custom recovery like Cwm or 4ext after unlocking your bootloader. If you have, then flash the ROM again. Then reboot your phone into the bootloader and fastboot flash the boot.img.

I was on stock 4.1.2. I flashed stock recovery, updated, then flashed TWRP. However, somehow I got my backup put back on, and my phone was running the 4.3 firmware and 4.1.2 ROM. I tried running an RUU. My phone won't work since the touchscreen won't work. ADB also cannot recognize my phone. Please help, I'm stuck.
{UPDATE} Was able to boot into TWRP. However, still unable to get the 4.3 ROM onto my SD.
Just fastboot flash tp firmware from 129

I had a similar problem here, try the ADB Sideload in twrp, if that doesn't work, go and flash the Ztouch something recovery, good luck!

I cannot do the touch panel as I am S-ON. On TWRP's page, it says enter "adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip", do I leave it as /path, or is that the location of the rom? Can I open a command prompt from the folder the ROM zip is in and skip the /path?
[UPDATE]: I have gotten ADB to recognize my phone, but only in recovery. Nothing worked yet.
U can revone s-off now

I have seen you mention ROM Manager and Clockwork recovery. Neither of these are compatible with the AT&T Note 3. PM & I will help out.

When i boot up the phone, it says the process system has not running wait or ok, when i push ok or wait. after about 40 seconds the phone just freezes up.
Decided to use the twrp app to update my recovery and now it doesnt boot at all, hangs at the recovery booting screen then shows me a screen with like odin info.
I need some major help, I think i have a solution with the PC, however I'm running ubuntu and I'm not sure if odin will work on this. Been trying how to learn if there is a way i can work with odin but every odin + ubuntu/linux tutorial is very outdated
That was the misstep... You don't want to use the trwp app for twrp updates... I have heard that is like a 100% fail ratio... Might have to stary from scratch and odin rom, odin twrp, then go from there... I would just keep clear of the play store twrp app, and stick to odin with twrp updates...

Fixed; was as easy as getting onto odin and flashing a recovery image. Didn't have to revert back to stock and start over. Bless up!

Yes!! That's what i did. I've tried using that twrp app for all my devices. Each time it's bootlooped them until i flash image in recovery. Glad you figured it out too! Without full wipe! !
