Similar to the problem a gentleman had a few topics down.
HTC One m8 stuck in TWRP bootloop, flashed newest version for the device, booted into system fine, goofed around for a minute, then when I went to flash SuperSU in recovery, it says it successful but could not mount cache. Now it's in a TWRP bootloop, is there anyway out of this.
Would flashing a custom ROM correct any of this? I was going for the GPe eventually. But for a temporary fix. Any toolkits that could correct this. Coming from a nexus 5, felt that phone was waaay more flexible. Thanks in advance

So the question actually lies in, You are stuck in TWRP but you can't boot into your ROM? What guide did you follow when putting TWRP on your device? There was a guide that I followed and the problem lied in the code they told me to put in while flashing TWRP. All I had to do afterwards was flash a rom and it would work. But following that, I lost Recovery. It was because it told me to flash it to the boot sector rather than the recovery sector. If you need me to elaborate I will.

Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, not sure where to put it,
I own a NATPC M009s x2.
I rooted it today and was hoping to install the cwm.
I had to install the driver manually so i tried to install it through the recovery mode
However after I did this the device wouldnt boot up past the boot logo and im not too sure what to do.
Unfortunately this is a soft bricked device now. You can either try to use ADB to attempt rebooting into recovery.
EDIT: If you do not have cwm successfully flashed, (this is based off of previous experience) there is no way to fix this. Please correct me if I am wrong, I rooted my first phone and factory reset it through the stock rom without a recovery. Sent the phone into a boot loop. I did write a program (Mango Tools) to help fix this however, it can be found on mellowdev.net It is being updated atm but wouldnt mind emailing it to you if you PM me.

So I'd been having some problems lately with my phone hanging on the Samsung screen on boot. Been running CM11 1/1/2014 nightly most recently. Decided to try using TWRP instead of CWM. That didn't seem to help my issue, so I tried installing CWM again. I used an app called Recovery Tools to download the touch version of CWM. After it said it installed, I tried to boot into recovery and got the error "Unauthorized software found. Please contact Verizon." (paraphrased a little).
Doing some research it looks like that error typically comes up when the bootloader is locked. Now, obviously I had my bootloader unlocked (well, Loki'd) because I was running CM11. Any help fixing this? I'm able to bypass the warning screen on boot if I hold down vol up + power like I'm going into download mode, but then hit vol down to cancel to boot up the phone. Once booted everything is ok, but any reboot just brings that up again. Using ROM manager to flash CWM recovery seems to work ok and it says its installed, but same issue. So does trying to flash TWRP from Goo.
If I were to run this tool that I used to root and loki before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301720) to install a recovery, would I be able to get everything going again? I think that somehow the recovery I installed wasn't Loki'd, although I picked the right one for my device.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
The fix I found was by pure dumb luck. I ended up trying to flash a recovery with Odin. Odin failed but reboot back into the os. I then used the twrp manager app from the playstore (mainly because goomanager wasn't downloading the recovery at the time) to flash the latest twrp recovery and all was good. Even though Odin failed at flashing the recovery I still think it helped somehow. I haven't thought much about why but I might have to now.

You could probably try using ODIN to get back to stock MDK and then Re-Root and install a recovery after.
Edit: And then flash CM11 again.

I was actually able to reflash TWRP w/ their app from the Play Store. Still get a lot of boot hangs on the Samsung logo though. Seemed to happen less with CWM, but now I'm too scared to try to install a different recovery. I appreciate all your help guys.
After I attempted to install the CM 11 preview that just came out it seems as though I get stuck in a boot loop. I am able to get into the bootloader but not the recovery. The reason I think I am stuck in the boot loop is because I did not know you had to flash the boot.img that was inside the .zip file, and went ahead and flashed the .zip in my current recovery. I am just wondering if I could still fastboot flash the boot.img file without causing even more problems.
Yes, in the forum the ROM was posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/orig-development/z2-tabletdevelopment-cm11-android-4-4-t2809793) but I guess I didn't see that he said it was in the zip :silly:.
Nonetheless, I just don't want to hard brick the device so that is why I am asking. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help!

Just to clarify first, do you have a 4G tablet or wifi version? And which one did you flash (castor or castor_windy)

Opps, meant to mention that. I have the castor_windy version (Wi-Fi) model and flashed the castor_windy zip. I also meant to mention that I have an unlocked bootloader with the CWM based recovery (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708194). I don't think this is as important but I do have the 16GB storage. I earlier said I could not get into that recovery that I have installed, but the violet light still goes on when I boot, but nothing else.

Ok no problem, Have you tried flashing CWM through fastboot, then reinstalling ROM through CWM?
If that can't be done, Can you flash this castor_windy version https://mega.co.nz/#!mJ5VTATR!Rb9pX0a4drAkVX53Mjf6_vZr8FqX0UzXcf1nSTzj_Fk
through fastboot, then immediately flash CWM to secure a recovery.
The link is the castor_windy ROM without having to flash a boot.img separately. Thats your safest solution instead of flashing boot.img
Thank you, just re-flashing the recovery from the thread I linked seemed to do the trick. Maybe I will try and flash Cyanogenmod later now that I got the stock ROM working again. At least I was smart enough to make a nandroid backup in CWM before hand though!
Again, thanks alot!

Sent from my Xperia Z2 Tablet Wifi using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi all,
bad day for me... It seems that I bricked my Z2 Tablet tonight.
At the beginning, I just wanted to install CM11.
My Z2 is a SGP512 Wifi only. So, regarding the page http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/07/12/cyanogenmod-11-nightly-builds-start-for-xperia-z2-tablet/ , it says : "There are currently nightly builds for the Wi-Fi variants (SGP511, SGP512) of the Xperia Z2 Tablet under codename “Castor Windy”" .
So I downloaded Castor Windy and put it in the tablet.
After that, I did had to install a recovery. I succeeded to install XZDualRecovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794175). Once installled, I went into TWRP Recovery , started to wipe all. And next step, I began to install zip Castor Windy. At this time, TWRP tells me that Castor Windy is not for my tablet model. And I have to use Castor. Problem. I wiped all. So, I have to mount the Tablet systems and drives to put the new Castor zip downloaded. But I'm unable to mount. Nothing is mounted. I tried to use adb to connect while I was in TWRP but nothing worked. I wanted to use adb to send on one of partitions the new downloaded rom. I was unable to do that.
Finally, I shut down my tablet. I took the SD Card to put it into my PC and to put on it the downloaded Rom. And when I wanted to restart the Tablet, only the Sony Logo appears and I'm not anymore able to enter in recovery mode. ADB and Fastboot fail to detect my tablet.
I'm totally lost, and I fear that all is lost.
Please, help me, I just would like to enter recovery and flash Castor Rom.... :crying:
Thanks a lot by advance.
Tom.

I got out of the phone mod life about a year ago..
but one of my friends is going through some financial stress and needs a phone.. i had a Sprint M9 sitting here for about a year.. So i decided i'd try to unlock it so he could use it.
Needless to say i'm a little rusty and a lot of things have changed
I asked Stifilz to help with the unlock and he directed me to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/general/nv-unlock-sim-t3314755
I needed to get the MSL, so I attempted the root following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-root-install-twrp-htc-one-m9-t3061133
Everything went smoothly with the instructions.. only problem is that I am now stuck in a bootloop of the HTC boot screen with the red writing.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
firmware? boot.img? new rom?
Hi.. phone has been sitting down collecting dust since the last post.. a friend needs a phone so I'm trying to get it working to give it away.. anyone have any solutions for this?
I am willing to pay to get this resolved.
Hold power button and volume down button at the same time and boot to recovery. Can you get into twrp recovery?

Hi? I'm in same situation. From stock, I didn't follow any particular tutorial. I used my knowledge from HTC m8. I unlocked bootloader, flashed latest twrp for m9, flashed latest supersu zip. And that's it. Boot loop afterwards. I flashed supersu via OTG Drive. Could that be an issue? Phone is still S-ON
UPDATE: I some how wiped cache, dalvich, data and system partition in twrp now it says I have no OS installed. I think I wasn't supposed to wipe system partition? How to get back to phone plz? Could you Point me to a restore file or stock HTC file I can restore with adb or twrp? I didn't make a backup before I started the whole thing.
Grab stock rooted rom from development thread n flash that. Should be good after that
