I was running stock rooted and wanted to wipe and start from scratch. Wiped from CWM recovery screen and it wiped everything and some of my stock apps (browser, market, etc)
Managed to install ROM Manager, but wouldn't install the recovery. Re-rooted and had the same problem. So I decided to Odin and I'm getting stuck at cache.rfs.
I've searched and searched and can't find anything. I can get to the download screen and the screen with the phone/pc, but that's it.
I just want to get this thing working again. Thanks in advance!

I flashed CM7 last night, loaded GAPPS, and the market was updating my apps, when I noticed none of the apps were updating. updates were all failing. I went into recovery and restored BAMF 1.5 remix. Now I have a problem. I can not download or update anything from the Market, all attempts fail. I cannot access CW recovery, the HTC white screen is as far as I get. I deleted rom manager, and tried to access CW recovery and still failed. I tried to do a factory reset, and still only get white HTC screen. Tbolt is functioning, I just can't fix my issue. Please help. Thanks.
You can't get in CW recovery or stock recovery?

Did you try reflashing CW through ROM Manager?
Yep. very strange. I even tried to wipe the phone with factory reset, and just get stuck on white HTC screen. I had deleted rom manager because of something else I read, and can't get it back, But I can't even get to recovery from bootloader.
You can get to recovery through the bootloader by shutting off the phone and turning it back on holding down the volume button and pressing power toggle down to the recovery option and press the power button

Actually I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to help Orio out and we attempted a quite a few things to try and fix the recovery issue, this post should offer a bit more insight to the methods used;
adb reboot recovery failed
Reinstall latest Rom Manager apk and Flash CWM
flash latest rom manager via fastboot (CWM only)
(fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.5.img)
**did not do fastboot erase recovery first**
"return to stock safely and properly" XDAthread by jcase
return to stock image [RUU], reroot, try again
try to boot into recovery via hboot
manually installed fix_permissions.sh script and busybox on rooted stock, ran.. didnt fix
tried to see if flash_image method would work, didn't
All of the above have failed and we basically tried almost all combinations. Never once would this phone get back into recovery, even after flashing the appropriate RUUs which include either stock android or CWM recovery. The only thing we have not currently attempted which might be the last thing left is to do is manually install the nandroid.sh script and do an advanced restore of the recovery image only from a nandroid backup on SD. I would rather not go down this method as it could have an undesired result, I have done it to restore a G1 back in the day but not 100% if its gonna work on a tbolt. Thankfully his phone boots, and we can get into hboot, but yea.. pretend recovery just doesnt exist at all...
Curious if anyone has any knowledge above what we have already tried.
SUCCESS !!!
I fixed it !
Apparently, when I loaded up cm7, files showed up about the same time on my sdcard in clockworkmod download file. I deleted those files, and reflashed clockworkmod in rom manager, (which this time took like 3 - 4 minutes), and rebooted into recovery and it worked...did it again, just in case it was a fluke and it worked.
All is well now...the planets are realigned !!!
Thanks everyone for your ideas and especially thanks to mattgyver83 who helped me for something like 4 hours yesterday. Exceptional kindness !!
mods...you can close this thread.
Hi.
I've tried searching for an answer but can't find anything like this.
I was using Turkbeyrom v3 for some time; I saw V5 and gave it a try. I've done several rom changing so I have some idea how it works. Also I've rooted the phone (Galaxy S2) with Odin and then (another) with the "new method" (one click opens a bat file, uses zergrush). Anyway; after a day or two I realized wifi wasn't working so I decided I will try another rom; as usual, I went to Titanium Backup to make a backup but told me it didn't have root access. After trying SuperSu (came included) couldn't make it work either. So I decided I would just wipe everything and try a fresh install. However, can't boot into recovery mode. I only get an option "Press Home to boot the second ROM" and a countdown; tried the "second" rom but won't start. So I'm stuck with Turkbey V5 which seems to have done something with root access since I can't update Superuser or SuperSu, this makes Titanium and even RomToolkit useless.
I tried to root via the "new method", it does everything, but I still can't get root access or boot into recovery.
While writing this I realized that now I'm stuck on the animated start screen.
Any idea on how can I fix this? I can't boot into recovery, and now the phone is stuck in the animation.
Thanks.
Not familiar with the dual boot thing, so please search before doing this or let other help you....
Flash a cwm using Odin, you can flash any CF-root to get that.
Remove battery
Now get in to cwm recovery
Format data, cache, system from mount and storage
Now flash stock GB ROM using Odin.
Should be fixed, now get root and flash what ever you want to

As you are using dual boot you can only afford to use siyah kernel. Download the Odin version of siyah and flash it, all your problems will be solved. Additionaly if you need su app install it from market.

Hey, guys. This is my first post. I am now on my second SGS 4 verizon replacement and today I tried to root it, get twrp, and then CM. I rooted it with odin by using the method where you drop the files onto your phone, reboot, delete the files, and finally reboot. I got root. But when I started up goomanager, the twrp download didn't start so I downloaded ClockworkMod. I rebooted into recovery after installing the Gapps and CM but decided that ClockworkMod was too intimidating so I rebooted. Then, I went into rom toolbox, and flashed twrp 2.5.x.x. After that, I tried to reboot into recovery but what happened was it went into download mode right after the blue letters say rebooting into recovery. Now, I am freaking out because I am rooted but can't get twrp so I can't get CM and touchwiz is awful. Please, any help is much appreciated. I am lost and inexperience! Should I go to VZ and have them reset my phone and start from scratch?

There's no custom recovery for the new updates, hasn't been for awhile, won't be any time in the immediate future or ever.

Hello guys so I accidentally and idiotically installed the verizon update. Meant to press later accidentally hit now not thinking, and all my phone does now is boot up to twrp. I have it rooted stock rom with G3 tweakbox and twrp recovery. I have tried to wipe, and restore with no luck. Also tried safemode no luck. Phone only boots into recovery and I'm hoping for a quick fix. Also cannot get it into download mode.
Anything help wise would be great kind of in a panic situation now!
Thanks!

did you try flashing a stock based rom?
not a restore.
Have you tried downloading a stock rom (bumped) and flashing that in TWRP?
If you can boot to TWRP you might not be able to resore but you might be able to install a stock rom, the restore apps from a nanadroid if you have it.
Don't worry. Same thing happened to me last week. There are instructions on here that show you how to type a few add line from TWRP and your phone will boot and you won't lose anything on your phone.
Just Google search LG g3 stuck TWRP.

Thanks for the replies. I found the fix thread and flashed the zip and it returned to normal.
Thanks for the help guys.
I was being a total dumbf**k yesterday and screwing with my Galaxy Player 5.0 to install Lollipop. I installed it, but I couldn't install Gapps, so I used ODIN tonight to attempt to restore it. Problem was, I installed the kernel in the Bootloader section, not the PDA section. I finally ended up installing it, however the boot animation is endless now. It only plays the sound at first bootup, then it shows the normal boot screen endlessly. Anyone help me as a stupid guy doing stupid things?
EDIT: I just installed Entropy's Daily kernel over it, however that did nothing. Also, I can not get to recovery AT ALL. In fact, I'm holding the button combo right now!
Can you access the Bootloader Menu on your YP - G70 ('DOWNLOAD Mode')?

You need to boot into download mode then flash the stock ROM with odin.
Then boot into recovery mode and do a factory data reset and cache wipe.
If it still does not work try flashing the stock ROM with the pit file.
Both the ROM and pit file can be found here:

When you flash the stock ROM, wait until you get to endless boot, then power off your device. Hold Up+Power until you see the Samsung logo. Go to Wipe data/factory reset, wipe, then restart your device. It's because the partitions aren't formatted, so no temporary data can be stored on the /data partition until you factory reset and it formats /data and /cache.
