I have a sprint g3 that is rooted and running twrp 2.8.0.0. I am trying to update to the latest recovery version. I downloaded Goo Manager from the play store and when I click on install openrecoveryscript, it says unable to find a recovery for your device. I know the latest version is 2.8.0.1. I tried going to twrp website but could not find it there either. With Goo manager, I installed from the play store but when I go to google play and do a search for goo manager, goo manager does not come up. I also checked in my All apps and goo manager is not listed, this is very weird. I was going to uninstall, then reinstall but goo manager is not in the play store. Anyone have any suggestions??
After doing some extensive research, apparently the goo servers are down for service. Does anyone have the updated version 2.8.0.1 of twrp for the sprint g3 that I could upload, thanks.
Look in the original Dev section. There's a 2.8.2.0 version (I believe) and it's flashable in recovery. No need for goo manager. I'm not even sure if one you got from too would be properly bumped.

[RECOVERY][BUMPED][LS990] TWRP touch recovery 2.8.2.0 [12/13]
Twrp 2.8.2
I flashed it with Flashify and it works o.k. :good:
I flashed with twrp and it worked good.
Have a question, I see version 2.8.4 is out. I went to the twrp website, it said I could download and install through twrp manager which I already have installed. I downloaded from that app but then this window came up and I am unsure about. I will try to post a screenshot.
Also, I am on a spring LG g3. How do I know if this twrp is bumped or not?
I don't want to brick my phone and it said if I'm on the wrong partition, I would brick it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It will not brick your device. Partition is correct. If it s not bumped you cant access recovery that s all.

Thanks, I flashed through twrp manager and all appears good. I don't know if you know anything about live backup in twrp manager but I did a backup from twrp manager and it only backed up two files, just data and system which I thought was weird. Live backup does a backup without booting into recovery so you can still do things on your phone while its still running. When I do a backup via recovery, there are usually about 10 or so files when it gets done. But when done with live backup, there are only 2 files?? Anyone have any suggestions on this? I paid to get live backup through twrp manager so I would like to use if at all possible.

Just curious, I thought if you installed TWRP thru TWRP Manager - that it only installs TWRP and not BUMP along with it.
I was under the impression that TWRP and BUMP were installed together if you used Flashify.
How do I tell if I have BUMP installed? Is there an app like Bump Checker (i.e., Root Checker) - I ask, because I can get into recovery - does that mean I am BUMPED?
Thanks!

If TWRP is working for you then you're good.
Only install TWRP's from this forum to be safe.
The G3 versions of TWRP that TeamWin posts for download are pre-bumped except, possibly, the T-Mobile version.
Thanks meyerweb! That was so confusing to me before, whether or not I was bumped or not!

I flashed a half-assed version of twrp from goo manager and it doesn't work right. It's not seeing the right partitions or something. But anyways I need to re flash the correct one anyone know how? Also I'm running Linux not windows.
I did the same thing the other day on my S3. I went and downloaded CWM and then used the messed up TWRP to flash CWM. Everything turned out fine with my S3 so you might try that. Something is really screwed up with Goo cause after I installed TWRP with it it was showing folders I had deleted before I even downloaded TWRP.
Also something else that may be safer, couldn't you just use Casual to re flash TWRP and then download the latest flashable TWRP version and flash it?

I have ClockworkMod Recovery and was able to install Clean Rom but can not install any thing else. I use to use TWRP and like it better. My question is how can I go back to it and not break my phone?

There is a flashable zip in the twrp thread to install 2.5.0.2 right from recovery. For some reason I can't upload it otherwise I would have
You can also use the one click tool which has an option to install twrp 2.5.0.2. i used it today.

So a somewhat related question here. I installed twrp with goomanager after rooting and all the installation instructions I see for roms say to use a loki'd recovery. As I understand it, it's just another installation method. Does it matter?
So I used ROM manager to install CWM recovery 6.x.x.x on a brand new, fresh stock install. The app says that CWM is installed on my system. Yet when I boot into recovery it takes me to the Android System Recovery 3e. Any ideas what's going on?
Edit: I have root access.

Try using Flashify from the Play Store to flash a recovery. For some reason there's been issues with ROM Manager and many have gotten by this by using Flashify from what I've seen.
ROM manager may not be Lokifying the recovery or something I'm not entirely sure. Something going on there though

Hi im hoping someone can help me.
I rooted my phone using the easy root method, I had philz dual recovery and flashed a rom. I installed superSU from the play store (when I should have flashed it) and now I can't access my recovery. I've tried rerooting and reflashing using all three methods for installing the recovery and none are working. Does anyone have a solution to this, I've got a backup of my stock rom etc. but I cant access it or recover it without a recovery. Im pretty much lost on this, I posted in the recovery thread but it didnt get answered.

When you flash a rom when using a recovery for locked bootloaders then it deletes the recovery
You have to reinstall your recovery

Thanks for the reply. I've tried doing that but it won't work, I dont know if it has something with Superuser? it says it cant update the binaries. Either way I've tried all 3 options on the process to install the recover (install with SuperSU, Install with SuperUser and install on unrooted rom)

Why not just use the dual recovery installer instead of the zip?

I've tried but I didnt work I have firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402 I dont know if thats the problem. I dont know if im actually rooted, I can grant apps superuser access but i downloaded a rootchecker and it says I'm not. When I try to root using doomlords its fine until the service menu bit, the screen doesnt blink and put me back to the menu it just lets me into the screen I pressed.

heres the link for NUTs download page, http://nut.xperia-files.com/ file your looking for is
Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.installer.zip (10.59MB)
this appears to be the latest version and is 17th link from the bottom of the right hand list
the flashable zip is just left of the installer
It should mean if u install a new rom and lose recovery just run the installer from windows and it should give u back recovery

Thanks, unfortunately thats what I have been using to try and regain recovery. Any other ideas? Im really struggling, I thought maybe if I unrooted and just re-rooted correctly it might help but I can't find an FTF file for my network I can only find unbranded which I very much doubt would work.
anyone?
I'm in the exact same position. I flashed monx 438 rom and I don't know what happened, I can't get into recovery either. I'm on unlocked bootloader. I have tried flashing the boot.img from 438 advanced stock kernel but at the command prompt it keeps on saying waiting for device. I have root access.
Same here.
I have a stock .402 ROM, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Have flashed the recovery a few times, and still cant get into it. Even when trying to access recovery via cmd prompt "adb reboot recovery"
I too am in the same boat... I rooted my phone, primarily to add the kitkat sd card fix, which works...
Then I went through the motion of unlocking bootloader, which I assume worked cos it wiped my phone clean. Had to reinstall everything...
Then I went through the motion of installing Cwm recovery. This went through OK. Well according to the command prompt it did.
But still I can't access recovery. I get no flashing LED lights before the Sony logo comes up, and then it just boots into normal phone mode.
I am on UK 3 network if it makes any difference......
I'd really love to be able to access my recovery cos I'm dying to apply the dual speaker and volume hack....
Don't know where to go from here..........
Just to add, I flashed to firmware 402 (uk unbranded) and re-rooted the phone and re-installed cwm recovery, but I get no led lights and no recovery mode. Oh well, just like a number one hit for 'the who', it was never meant to be....lol
sorry to resurrect but I have the same issue. how did you guys get back into recovery
I use a kernel with recovery
Vol up - cwm
Vol down - twrp
Cam key - philz
I can't flash kernol because I can't get into recovery even using the app to force boot
Hey Guys,
I have looked through some of the other posts related to this issue for other phones, but still cannot get recovery installed
Was going to update to the newest Hyperdrive, but decided to ODIN stock and then reroot etc
1. My phone is MDK so I went with the Sticky on how to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798
2. Obtained root successfully (SU installed (binaries updated), Root Checker checks out fine, Also installed SuperSU just in case(Updated Binaries))
3. Downloaded and installed Goo.im Manager to have to it install TWRP for wins --- Heres where the issues occurred
--- Error message ---
No recoveries found for your device
And when I launch the application I get:: <h1>Not Found</h1><p>The requested URL /message was not found on this server.</p>
Attempted Solutions:::
1. I found a post the ROM Manager can do the same so I installed that and set TWRP as the custom recovery (shows successful) -- but if I choose boot to recovery it still goes to default android recovery
2. I cant seem to find it again, but I had a XDA post on how to install TWRP with ODIN for I545 --- this also did not work as I receive an error on one of the security checks
Any help you have would be greatly appreciated!!!
I miss having a custom ROM :crying:
I don't have an MDK phone so I can't be 100% sure, but I think I read that Goo manager and Rom manager don't work for our phones. People are saying to use Flashify.

Like Riker said ROM manager and Goo haven't been working correctly for the Verizon S4.
Go to the store and grab Flashify. It's very easy to use.

The all in one method for root also has an option of installing either twrp or cwm.
Thank you guys I used Flashify and install TWRP successfully, am not hear a computer where I can try the second All in One option with, but will keep that bookmarked in case I choose to ODIN stock that looks pretty straight forward also..
Again Thanks!!!!
I love being root, love the android experience
