So, I rooted my S3 LTE and installed TWRP 3.2.1-0 and downloaded gapps and newest RR-rom. Everything went fine until I tried to install RR-rom. Error message was something like failed to map file. After surfing I found that I need older version of TWRP. I tried to reboot my s3 lte but now I am stuck in samsung logo. I tried wiping cache but it didnt help. I also tried restoring. What I can do now? I can't access my files because my phone won't start (I can acces twrp) Did I brick my phone?

I don't really know what happened, did you successfully flashed kdz?
Where did you get it from? Here?: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Try to flash one of these (choose correct one for you)
Than you have to install recovery again.
But before that you can try to wipe /system, /data, /cache and then flash CM11 (I know it works without problems)
And I recommend you these Gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

well... yes i think I flashed kdz (LGFlashTool ?) I used kdz to recover my phone to original, I know my phone is Korean version and right now I use P88020A-EUR-XXX original firmware installed with kdz
What is CM11? and how i flash it?
so I have to root and unlock bootloader again and use twrp again right?

I think you should try with CWM first, get it: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-p880.img
you can flash it with this app if you are rooted: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
then you can download CM11 from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p880
and gapps from last mine post
and then boot to recovery, do factory reset and wipe /system, then flash rom and gapps.
Hope it helps
Crash After Flash OTA Vanir 5.0
I had a similar experience. I was installing OTA latest update of Vanir...not realising that it was 5.0...a screen came up telling me that it needed to flash another recovery...not realising why it needed that, I ignored the request to flash. Of course, I then "bricked" the phone. I was able to install the original JB 4.12 (v20c) back onto the phone but now it won't root. I've tried almost every method in this forum to no avail.:
ADB just gives a message "error: closing" when I use the boot.exe method
o4xr method does nothing
all-in-one method also does nothing
ADB does recognise the device. Drivers are installed. Any help is welcome!

Have you tried to flash a recovery using fastboot? You won't need to root (if you are going to use a custom ROM) and/or it will be easier with a custom recovery
Soft brick after last update.
Hello,
I seem to have a similar problem. I updated a few days ago using Vanir updater. There were no warnings re updating the recovery, just a warning regarding losing root. I checked restore root. The phone rebooted to the bootloader logo, then to a black screen. Now, I can access Cyanogen recovery, SW update mode, abd fastboot mode using buttons and the recovery options. ADB can see the phone only in recovery mode, but not in fastboot or SW update mode. CM recovery has no option to mount USB storage, so my PC cannot see the phone, and I cannot side load a new recovery and flash a new ROM.
Is there any way to use ADB if it cannot see your phone in fastboot or SW mode? Perhaps modify the settings.secure string to enable ADB? ADB can see the phone in recovery mode.
Otherwise I will try flashing a stock ROM via KDZ or LG firmware update tool, the re-root and proceed - but rooting was a major ordeal the first time, so I would like to avoid doing that again.
Thanks in advance.
Hi there
If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate. I'll try to keep it short.
I have a HTC mini 2 and a few months ago installed TWRP and cyanogen.
Basically I followed the instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod.org.
One day the phone started to make reboots by itself until it got stuck in cyanogen boot logo.
I tried to install cyanogen again using TWRP but it kept failing. Wipe gave messages of "unable to mout data \ cache \ internal storage"
I decided to install a new version of TWRP and now every time I go to recovery, it boots back to bootload.
I tried to flash different versions of TWRP with the same result.
The phone is unlocked, S-ON.
Any ideas anyone?

Which versions of TWRP u tried? i sounds for me, that you did a TWRP or Cyanogen Update that isnt comfortable with your phone... Try a TWRP 2.8.5.0, flash it with ADB and give a Feedback. Or try to wipe dalvik-Cache aswell..

remove USB cable when rebooting phone. see if it works
Hi,
I was running Oxygen 4.0.0 and a beta build of TWRP 3.0.3 which works with new encryption. I used the android update mechanics to get the 4.0.1 OTA. System rebooted to recovery, recovery threw an error (zip file corrputed) and since then I am not able to boot the system. Whatever I do I land in TWRP recovery.
Things I did so far:
- Tried installing the full 4.0.1 zip. Install worked without errors, device still boots to recovery.
- Tried to get stock recovery, since another post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/stuck-recovery-mode-t3532524) indicates stock recovery might fix the problem
--> stock recovery is not obtainable anymore. Seems deleted from all the download links I could find. Example is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/zip-flashable-firmware-modem-t3509015
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache in the hopes, the instruction to boot to recovery is there somewhere.
I did not do the unbrick tool, since I run linux and didnt want to fiddle with windows yet.
I did make a nandroid backup, so once my system boots again I should be fine.
Any Idea where to either get a mirror of stock recovery or how to fix this problem otherwise?
I had this same problem, and I solved downloading the unbrick tool and extracting the recovery from there. Here is the file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwaafKaXbak3d1RFblFOWVd5eGs/view?usp=sharing
Also locking the bootloader worked for me. Booted into system then unlocked again.
Thanks a lot for the stock recovery. That worked!
Once it booted, installing TWRP and SuperSU again.

Does your TWRP boot correctly? I flashed it and when I restarted I still had the stock recovery, so I used fastboot boot and it booted, but it is stuck in the loading screen.
Edit: After rebooting and reflashing totally random, it worked.

Yeah, worked totally normal as it should.
My educated guess about this whole dilemma is, the system sets a flag to boot to recovery which TWRP doesn't clear and only stock recovery clears. Usually those flags should be in cache partition, but in this case isn't.
Tldr: don't use build in update mechanisms if you modified Rom and recovery.
Hello everybody.I have bought lenovo zuk z2 pro 128gb.I wanted to root it that is why I unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP recovery.Then i flashed supersu but my phone stucked at zuk logo.I imidiately opened recovery mode and wiped dalvik cache but nothing changed.Then i wiped all wata including system.When i tried to reboot my phone via TWRP it showed that There is no OS installed in your device are you sure to countinue?i clicked yes without knowing its consequences.Nothing changed(phone stucked that logo as before).after that i searched a lot of discussions,threads and found information that i should have stock recovery in order to flash my stock firmware(i tried stock frimware flashables and custom firmwares but I got an error with TWRP).After that i deleted TWRP and backed my stock recovery but then adb didnt recognised my phone.I cannot get an access to my phone from my computer.Moreover,there is no option of factory reset in stock recovery.Please tell me if there is possibility that i can do in order to get my phone work again.Thanks in advance
I flashed RR 1 hour ago on my pra lx1. everything was working, but i the phone is my old phone and i want it to give it to my dad. RR is easier than emui and i just wanted to try it out. I resetet the device, but my twrp is for android 8 and twrp doesnt work its just stuck in loading screen. I flashed another twrp but it doesnt boot as well. And now the deivce boots only in recovery, but the recovery is stuck in loading screen.
I can acess adb commands, but sideload command doesnt work
Anyone got an idea?
