[Q] TWRP boot loop - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I have been gone for about 9 months and I was satisfied with my Note 3 being rooted and using a stock ROM. So today I thought I would see what is new in ROMs. First thing was to load the latest custom recovery so I tried updating Goo Manager only to find a new program in the play store called TWRP Manager. I installed it along with a new version of busy box which was required and then installed the latest version of the custom recovery after following the instructions for using Sprint, Note 3, etc. Think it was 2.8.5
Well when I booted into recovery, it loops (stuck) with the message at the top saying:
Recovery Booting....
Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
Tried pulling out the battery but instead of rebooting into phone, it goes right back into booting into recovery and then i get the dreaded endless loop.
Any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can boot into download mode, just flash the recovery again with odin. Something may have been corrupted, you should be ok.

Need Some Help!

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.

Will this one-click stock ROM work?
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... S4 (Verizon) (SCH-I545)/Stock ROMs/One-Click
or, which of the files on this page are what I would want? (about 1/3 of the way down for SCH-I545)

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.

[Q] Custom Recovery problem (Rom manager-cwm)

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 !!!

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

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

MultiROM bootmenu stuck

Hey guys,
Got myself an isssue, I was installing multiRom for my device wt88047. Everything was fine -TWRP recovery sucessfully installed, got a new kernel and everything was set. Then went to "Add ROM " option and selected TESLA ROM for the same device.
But when I rebooted to system and tried to BOOT into any of the ROM, phone was restarting and the same boot menu was coming.
Then i decided to remove MULTIROM. First thing i did was went to recovery, deleted the secondary ROM, and then again tried to reboot to system which was a failure again. Next I installed older TWRP recovery image file from MULTIROM TWRP Recovery, After which i cant go to any recovery, its stuck to mi logo. With android debugging OFF what can i do to get my device back online.
Need instant help....
thank you guys

Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9515) stuck at boot logo

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my phone. Android 7.1.2 (Lineage OS 14.1) is installed in the GS4, and it worked perfectly. The recovery is TWRP. Yesterday, the Lineage OS developers released a system update, so I downloaded it from the phone settings and then tapped on the icon to install it. Then it booted into recovery and I installed the file downloaded (the auto-installation does not work for me). So, when it finished installing the new version, I rebooted the phone and... it was stuck at the Galaxy S4 boot logo. Hence, I rebooted it to see if ti worked but nothing, so I decided to go again into recovery ad perform a full wipe and a clean installation. Rebooted the phone but it continues to stuck at the logo. I also tried to install a previous version of android, which I am sure it works (because it was the first I installed), but the situation doesn't change. I also tried to get into downloading mode, and it goes, so I used a tool called FonePaw Data Recovery to try to fix the problem but it doesn't change. I also installed a different version of TWRP via Odin, but the system won't boot.
So, in conclusion, the phone is able to boot properly into recovery mode and downloading mode but not able to boot system. What can I do now?

SM-G388F twrp problem.

Hey there,
Today i've been trying to flash twrp for my Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 (SM-G388F) using ofc Odin. It succeeded and flashed it without any trouble. The problem is that when i'm trying to get into recovery i'm getting
"RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
That doesn't bootloop my device or something like that, i can just turn off the device, boot normally and booting into regular rom resets recovery.
I downloaded twrp directly from it's page
I've checked if model matches twrp version, i tried multiple twrp versions,
But still - nothing.
So,
Any idea?
