hi I had clockwork recovery and wanted to change it to TWRP. I flashed the immage and now all the files are gone. I'm a newby to android and really need your help. Do I have to completely reflash everything from scratch or is there anpother method? Please help
Do I need to reinstall the Rom or can I somehow get my recovery back? Thanks in advance
Dearest fellows of xda-developers,
I'm running into this problem now. My phone keeps constantly bootlooping. I can access both recovery aswell as the download mode. Tried a data/factory wipe and tried the cache wipe. That didn't do anything for me. Then tried to reinstall the complete firmware using Odin. Also not a solution. I've made a video of my problem without any comment though but I hope it helps you to figure out with me what's wrong with it. You'll find it as an attachment to this post. Thank you for your time and hope to get some responses soon.
With Kind regards,
John
You didn't provide enough details: which was the last installed ROM, is it still on stock firmware and if yes which one?
I see on your video that it has custom kernel and CWM recovery, do you know which kernel is that? Video is unsharp, I tought I saw for moment that it is CWM 2.5.1.2 so is it Speedmod kernel? I would try to reflash the kernel- if the issue came after flashing a kernel, then it is just a uncompatible kernel version for the ROM you were using. Or you can restore nandroid backup....don't tell you have none?
If nothing helps, you could try to flash Cyanogenmod 9 zip in recovery. It is anyway better than stock firmware.

Hi guys Recently Samsung released 5.1.1 for our devices! So I decided to make a easy tutorial on how to install TWRP on our devices (unfortunately without root).
1. Download newest odin from Here!
2. Reboot to download mode.
3. Download this file TWRP RECOVERY
4.Flash it with AP option.
5. Done! Now You should be able to boot into TWRP Recovery.
Info
Can I restore my previous custom rom now?
Yes and no. I tried restoring two roms. AOSP and TW, aosp had a bootloop then successfully booted, and TW didn't seem to boot at all.
Does it root my device/Can I root my device now?
Nope, not yet. I tried to make a custom rom with root built in but it was stuck in a bootloop.
Why would I need this?
Well. Now You can restore Your rom, and flash other roms(Some may fail due to a newer bootloader).
Any bugs?
Sometimes first boot after flashing this recovery might bootloop, but just remove Your battery and turn on Your phone again.(Happened only once to me)

Yes... I did manage to restore the backup image of 5.1 as I ended up in bootloop while trying for the root access. So far OK with at least TWRP is working.
I have a question, If I'm on 5.1.1 and I've installed this TWRP, By using this TWRP RECOVERY, can I install 5.0.1 custom rom via zip file?
I do not mean to restore my backup rom. I mean I do a fresh installation

Some people have reported issues flashing a 5.01 rom without using odin to downgrade first

It seems to bootloop roms that need 5.0 bootloader. But AOSP rom that runs on 5.1.1 boots up without any problems. Just during boot You might see message "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and then the rom should boot up.
I flashed twrp via odin and it says pass then reboot after that when i try to enter recovery it get me to stock recovery any clue why is that and how to solve this ? v.v
Thanks a ton bro.
thank u so much guys

Hi I could really use some help here my phone had some trouble so I had to wipe it out and reinstall the 5.1.1 lollipop when I did so however I lost the recovery partition I was using TW RP I have since tried to reinstall it and Odin says that it is successful yet when I try to boot into the recovery partition I get to default recovery partition that comes with the phone I've also tried using the CWM recovery image and it does the same thing says its successful but I can't boot into it because it boots into the default one any idea what is going on and what I can do. I should also note that I've tried reinstalling the 5.0.1 version of lollipop and that has failed in Odin any ideas would be greatly appreciated because at the moment I have no way to root my phone I can't flash the custom kernel that's needed for 5.1.1 or anything else for that matter please help thank you

Easiest way on odin is make sure auto reboot is unchecked. When its done unplug the cable pull the battery put it back in boot into twrp Let me know how it works out for you.

Should this be in any conflict with the kernel with http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/n910c-kernel-5-1-1-stock-tw-permissive-t3206548 ? When I try to use both, i end up in a bootloop

Hello, I have a question and I hope someone can help me: I have the N-version of galaxa s3 mini and yesterday I flashed CM12. I forgot to save important files, but before flashing I did a backup. Unfortunately when I tried to restore from cwm my phone went in bootloop. Now how can I restore my old backup made with the stock rom? Do I have to flash the stock rom with odin and then try to restore my backup? Is it a problem of different format of the partition? Do I have to check the re-partition button in odin? Please help me! Thanks!
EDIT: SOLVED!!!
Hi guys! I have a question. I have twrp that I installed with the help of advanced stock kernel. But it doesn't look like a permanent recovery. If I install a custom ROM without a recovery, I will lose my recovery. Can you help me install a permanent recovery on my phone. ?
I have tried flashing using flashtool and it only boots into twrp and not android.....
Thanks !

The reason you lose recovery when installing a new ROM is because TWRP is built in Advanced Stock Kernel,and when you flash for example SLiMM ROM it reflashes its kernel.
That means that every time you install a new ROM you will need to reflash the kernel.

Don't worry, Im going to close the thread now . The problem was that i cannot flash the kernel on roms like PA or CM without getting a bootloop, but i managed to find out how to flash a recovery to the recovery partition and then enter it using a key combo, and it works quite well, perfect for my needs!
Thanks anyway!:good:
