I have a little problem i can't access recovery when I press 2 factory buttons. I have it since i installed CM 11 V9. Now i want to install V11 but I'm afraid that it fails and i wont be able to do anything. I thought maybe installing TWRP will fix it but it didin't. I still can access recovery when my phone is on, when i restart into recovery. And when I still had CWM when i was trying to restart phone from recovery menu it said that I might have lost root access.

Hello im fairly new to the rooting stuff so bear with me and I hope im posting this in the right place. Iv looked for other post and most have people believe they have soft bricked there phone, I was able to get out of it
I have a Samsung galaxy s4 with Verizon
model # sch-i545,
android version 4.3,
baseband version i545vruemj7,
kernel version 3.4.0 [email protected] #1,
build # jss15j. i545vruemj7
Hope this is enough info for some help. I do have root using the chines root and terminal emulator to get supersu. I also use titanium backup pro. So here is where I have my problem I was wanting to have a recover backup just in case I messed up my phone. I looked up ways to do this and the one I picked was using goomanager.
1. Opened goomanager and opened the menu and clicked install openrecoveryscript
2. Download and installed and it said download complete
3. I rebooted my phone in recovery mode
4. Now it comes up in odin mode in the top left corner, it says in red could not do normal boot under that
product name: sch-i545,
current binary: Samsung official,
system states: custom,
knox kurnal lock:0x0,
knox warranty void: 0x0,
csb-config-lsb:0x30,
wright protection enabled,
eMAC burst mode enabled
5. And I have the big green droid with downloading… do not turn off target!!
6. This is where everyone else believes they soft bricked and are stuck in a bootloop but if you pull the battery and start up in odin and restart from there you get out of it
So I cant use recovery mode at all, is there any thing I can do to fix this or do I not get to use recovery ever again
Like I said I am new to rooting and all the great stuff it offers, I have rooted my old droid x2 and done a full recovery with it, I haven’t flashed a rom yet but I still don’t know all the in’s and out’s
Thank you for all the help
what it sounds like is you phone is going into download mode. when you are trying to enter recovery are you holding volume up or volume down when you boot? because volume down takes you to download mode and volume up take you to your recovery!

I hold the volume up, power and home keys and it goes in to odin mode and goomanager can boot into recovery mode and still goes into odin mode. I think goomanager doesn’t do the team win recovery and messed up the code for recovery
And thank you I double checked that and still odin mode comes up
first problem was using goo manager, your phone base does not support any custom recoveries. The only available option is safestrap after u obtain root

What bugs me is that I can't get Into recovery anymore. *I have used recovery mode to re install some dumb apps by making a back up with Titanium Backup Pro And made a zip of the apps and re installed them through it. I just don't want to brick my phone hard. But please explain what it is and for.
All I wanted to do was be able to do a nandord backup which is what I thought I was trying todo.

You aren't making any sense, so you need to be a lot more specific about what you're doing.
One, you said above that you're on the MJ7 bootloader. That means that you can't have a custom recovery.
So what the heck does "using recovery mode to install some dumb apps by making a back up with Titanium Backup Pro" mean? You don't run Ti from recovery, you run it from a booted and rooted phone.
"All I wanted to do was to be able to make a nandord (sic) backup"
Oh well. You can't install a custom recovery on your phone since the bootloader is locked. This has been stated repeatedly in these forums.
Sadly, the moderators of this forum are refusing to post a sticky to help guide people like you to avoid this common mistake.
The only way you can back up your existing ROM is to root it and install Safestrap. Do a bit of searching around before flashing anything else.

Im sorry im new to asking for help.
Yes I now know there is no custom recovery and found out the hard way and didn’t do enough research.
With Ti pro, in batch actions-All, section Recovery mode you can create “ update.zip” from apps and data backup. I know this is not a true recovery or nandorid, so I made the zip went into recovery mode and reinstalled the apps I deleted. I was just toying around with that
My original intent was to be able to do a nandorid backup
I have looked at the safestrap method and it looks like it will work for my build I just wanted to know since my recovery mode is corrupt or I believe it is will it work
thank you again for any help

This is a Verizon forum, and you have an AT&T phone. You may have better luck in the AT&T forums, especially since this is such an old thread.
What version of safestrap?
When you say "that installed correctly" do you mean safestrap recovery?
How did you try to enter recovery? Normally, you reboot, then press the "Recovery" button from the Safestrap splash screen. If you try the normal boot to recovery, it'll boot stock recovery, not Safestrap.
Hello everyone. I am new here. I have a samsung s4 verizon. It runned on android version 4.4.2. The hotspot was not working so i decide to root it and flash it with a new custom rom. Using odin i tried flashing it and it said failed. And now it can not boot into the recovery mode.It says when I tried to boot into recovery mode it says firmware upgrade encounter an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I downloaded and installed kies but it not connecting in kies .
Please i need help asap

Hmmm...flash custom kernel using flashtool....all custom kernel have built-in recovery (cwm or twrp or both)...no need to install cwm using xparts anymore....
to boot into recovery, look at the led...when the led appears then press volume down to enter recovery...
im on stock root and i wanted to hopefully flash a rom, but first i needed a custom recovery. On my phone, i downloaded Rom manager and it asked me to install cwm. it found my device and it downloaded and said installed successfully. i rebooted into recovery and from there it loops and boots into recovery non stop. i remove the battery and put it back in and it still tries to boot into recovery with the loop. (Semi-fix) when i remove my battery and boot into download mode. i can cancel it and it will skip trying to boot into recovery and load just fine. i can then shut down or restart as needed. but booting back into recovery will start the issue over again. i just want to know a safe way to have cwm on my note 3, or how to revert it back to normal. any help please?

Pull battery let it sit for two minutes. Push menu button, volume down button, and power button at the same time boot into download mode. once there flash a fresh copy of your OS which ever version of KitKat your running. You lose all your personal data, but your beyond that now. Then here is link to my thread should answer all your questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 enjoy !!!
uknow said:
Yeah ive said it a few times this should not be used
If youve bricked your phone you can get back into your phone by holding volume down menu botton and power botton at the same time when it pops up the warning screen to enter download mode hit cancel your phone will then boot up after your phone is on if you do not have a computer the way you fix the phone so you dont have to do this every time your phone is off you need mobile odin and a kitkat cwm.img.tar for our phone flash it and problem solved you can now boot into cwm recovery then if you want you can flash a twrp img zip through cwm or just keep cwm hope this helps
Ps if you Google mobile odin the dev gives it away on his xda mobile odin page

hi i am new to all this..i managed to get my sprint note 3 4.4.4 NK4 rooted and i read that i also needed a custom recovery so i used odin to install "philz_touch_6.08.7-hltespr.tar.md5" and it said success but when i tried to get into it it just says recovery is not seandroid enforcing i also used rom manager to get into it automatically but it just keeps looping saying same thing. is there a way out of this mess?

First, pull the battery for a minute then reinstall hold the power, menu, and volume down buttons at the same time and boot into download mode. The version of Phil'z CWM you flashed is to old for 4.4.4 NK4. Now download to your desktop the right Philz CWM recovery file (Phil'z_Touch_6.48.4-hlte.tar.md5 ) here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ there are two listed use the second one. Flash with odin and you should be good to go. Go to my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 for more info.
done exactly as you said and the same screen came up saying recovery is not seandroid enforcing and then it jumps to Philz Touch 6 so im assuming everything is right now...i really appreciate the help! tyvm
different rom
ok..i installed cyanogen rom..i also used titanium backup..i want to go back to where i was but i dont see titanium backup on there anymore..how do i revert back?
i guess i need to update my phone n900p (help)
my rooted note 3 was running 5.0 L so i tried flashing a custom recovery both TWR and CWM now its stuck in boot loop. i read all the post showing you how to get out the bootloop. how ever i still need to put a recovery on my phone are there any updated links for this with odin because i was using the odin 3.0 sorry odin 307
I went to install a custom rom for my lg realm, and i couldnt find any so i found a "unofficial" recovery for twrp and it worked, but then i wanted to factory reset my phone so i could make a backup, and when i wiped it, it worked the files did reset, but twrp wouldnt reconize it as a os or rooted, and when i clicked install supersu it didnt, it froze in a bootloop, so i tryed a diffrent recovery than twrp, something that starts with K and that totaly broke, now i cant boot into my OS and my recovery doesnt load, when i load recovery it restarts to bootloop, and cause i cant get into recovery i cant use adb or fastboot, i dont know what to do.
i just want my phone to work
Well what happened was that twrp recovery did just what you told it to do. It made a factory reset which is without an os. Unlike the oem factory reset that only wipes personal data.
I would use a Linux box to get your device to download/bootloader mode (might take a bit of research to find a tut.) then flash a stock image.

Sorry for the late responce, but (i think) it reset the os like it should, but because it didnt have a root the twrp couldnt boot into it, and when trying to install supersu itself couldnt, and broke the OS, atleast thats what i think, also just read the 2nd half, is download/bootloader mode diffrent than recovery mode? cause i cant get into Power + Vol down anymore
Oh my god
Ok, i went into download mode, lg mobile software tool detectred it, and set it as a com3 driver, and odin didnt see it, then i manualy set it to use ADB, both normal and compisite and bootloader mode with google usb drivers, the pc saw it, but still odin didnt see it, i dont know what to use, but it seems like this could work
Help?
Can anyone help? still broken
I had my phone rooted with SuperSU. Decided that I wanted to use Magisk for the hide root features. Re-Flashed my phone to Stock Firmware, then checked if TWRP was still installed. It wasn't so I flashed it with ADB said that it flashed but I can not boot into it. When I go into recovery it boots to factory recovery.
I've tried erasing the the recovery and re-flashing with TWRP through ADB still boots to factory.
I have my bootloadrer unlocked from with I rooted the first time. Under Developer option it's Greyed out in the On position. Oh and USB Debugging is on.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you can boot your phone into system, download flashify. I had similar problem recently. Flashify helped me flash twrp into my phone & I was able to get into recovery with no problem. Also download a copy of twrp into o your phone.
PS: did you try to flash with the fastboot command? I've always had issues when I try to do anything with adb on this phone.

Hopefully you got this fixed dalready but I'm pretty sure after flashing twrp you are just rebooting without removing battery to power down, I had the same problem when I didn't remove batt. then put back in and boot to recovery that way. I guess the stock system will replace twrp if it gets booted into os before you boot into recovery.. Hope this helps.
Its the white screen throwing you off right click yes on both continue to hold voulme down and power then it will boot to twrp. Any it will not i repeat it will not wipe your data even thow you chose yes on white screen, hope this helps.
I'm in the same position as the OP, Keaso.
Bootloader unlocked, loaded custom recovery through fastboot, battery removed, but when I boot into recovery, I get the stock recovery, white screen, if I select yes and yes, it goes back to the factory white screen. And contrary to what 420bud420 posted, it DOES I repeat it DOES wipe your data.
This does not seem like an uncommon glitch with this phone, any help appreciated.
