So. I'm sorry to say, but this phone has given the biggest headache. Here's the background:
I really only use this phone for entertainment and stuff. BUT I decided to root and unlock the bootloader, somehow or another the phone apparently lost root a few times (According to some users here) but never lost SuperUser or anything. I've never been able to flash a rom on this thing. Then a few weeks ago the phone just encountered an error of some sort and would only get to the ICS boot animation and loop over and over. I just gave up on it. Then one day I decided to play with it. I got it into fastboot and then into recovery, (Not CWM Recovery) and was able to get it all set up again. So I figured I'd give it one more shot. I downloaded CWM and downloaded recovery, and a custom rom. tried to flash through fastboot>recovery but it's still the stock recovery, not CWM recovery. So I factory resetted it etc and started from scratch. Now if I download CWM it WILL NOT download recovery. It gets about 99% of the way and tells me: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" If I download it from a link I can't open the file....... Someone help I just want a good JellyBean Rom. :crying:
Edit: I've Googled as much as I could stand and still haven't come across anything entirely helpful. Please explain so I could understand. Pictures help if needed lol
Anyone?
You can't use clockworkmod app to flash recovery without root.
Get the fastboot image of cwm recovery ( not the app). Or twrp. Flash it with fastboot.
Boot directly into it and flash what you want. If you boot up a stock os it overwrites the custom recovery on boot.
clockworkmod app sucks IMHO and should never be used for anything period. Not fond of the recovery itself either.

Does TWRP 2.8 (latest version 2.8.7.0) okay to start out with? Meaning, if we are at the latest version of stock (ASUS build JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.27-5-20130902; Android 4.2.1) and we are going to flash a custom rom for the first time, the latest versions of TWRP won't brick our devices?
It could be that I'm just confused because there were lots of older versions that reference individual Android builds (JB vs ICS). And people would say "if you have X version of Android, use Y version of TWRP or you're gonna brick it".
Can't enter twrp but everything ok
Today i flashed 2.8.7.0 img with twrp 2.8.5.0 and than reboot tablet. Than i tried enter the recovery but tablet booting normally.
In bootloader screen click RCK but say "unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000
Tried
Flash twrp with adb
Flash twrp with terminal
But not working. Tablet starting normally when i tried enter the recovery.
Tablet working normally. Please help me.
I am using katkiss 5.1.1
Edit: i solved problem with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
I got sent here, so I'll try again.
I'm a little confused now, because I can't understand what is happening to my tablet. Let me explain step by step what I did, maybe one of you can figure out what is wrong.
I was running CM11 M12 with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and wanted to try the new Android 5.1. I decided to go with the latest Omnirom and found out I needed at least TWRP 2.8.5.0.
So first step would be to update TWRP. When I got at the TWRP website I read that there was something new in TWRP 2.8.4.0, so I decided to first go from .1 to .4 and then go to the latest .7. An upgrade to .4 went fine through Fastboot. Then I thought I could try the new in GUI recovery flasher, but I didn't understand it properly so I chose to go safe and flash the .7 through Fastboot.
I guess that's where I went wrong. The tablet went to recovery just fine, but in TWRP it couldn't access anything anymore. "Unable to mount" on everything. Internal storage was 0. It didn't boot to the ROM anymore.
So after some tinkering, not really sure what I did anymore, I got my access to the FS again. I had the CM11 M12 ROM still in the MicroSD, so I ran the "install ROM procedure" for that one and it booted again.
Only now I don't seem to have a recovery anymore. I can get into Fastboot, but when I send the "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob" the tablet hangs itself. Holding power revives it and it boots to CM11M12 again. I tried to flash different TWRP versions (.4 .5 .6 and .7) but no sigar.
Does anyone have an idea how to get my recovery back?
Edit0: I tried to install the TWRP manager from the store and get a recovery from there, but the app doesn't work. It hangs when I try to tap on the "Recovery version to install" option.
Edit1: I followed the link in the post above and solved it. Next thing I did was flashing the .6 TWRP recovery and it stuck. Time to wrestle with some new roms! Thanks!
Edit2: Back to square one. The TWRP can't see anything in my internal storage. Is my storage memory going dry? "Unable to mount ###" shows up for every partition.
Edit3: And now it can see in my internal memory again... Hardware failure?

Hello
Can someone help me please?
For the moment i have TWRP 2.8.0.1 and i want to update it to 2.8.7.0.
First of all, i tried to update it with twrp manager.
So i open twrp manger
The install recovery screen opens and i choose for "Install Recovery".
Then i'm redirected to jmz software and then i got next screen:
Forbidden - you don't have permission to access /tf300t/ on this server.
What i'm i doing wrong?

I have a Z3 dual, and I seem to have no recovery (or even a partition). The phone has no data saved so it is safe to reinstall firmware and start over. But I am trying to get the phone going for use. I currently have 5.0.2 (rooted)installed, and want to boot to recovery to flash a zip file. I have tried a million times to do this in kitkat as well as the current upgrade. In all cases there is no recovery. TWRP cannot create a custom one and there is no recovery to boot into. I installed goomanager and tried to create a custom recovery and got the message "No recovery can be found on your device". Now, I have read that some xperia models actually did not come with any stock recovery (but I cannot verify this). I believe this might the problem from the very start. So, how do I create a custom recovery, where there seems to never have been a stock recovery to begin with. It seems like an endless loop of trying to create a custom recovery, only to be told by TWRP or goomanager that you cannot boot into recovery because there isn't any. I hope this makes sense what I am describing. I have tried many times to create a custom recovery, did re-installs of the firmware (downgraded, upgraded -- ALWAYS ROOTED), tried with bootloader locked and unlocked -- no luck in all permutations and combinations. In the end I cannot boot into the TWRP recovery screen (or any recovery screen for that matter). It simply just hangs for a bit then simply boots normally. Sometimes it gives a message telling me there is no recovery to be found. I know I am missing something, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi Guys,
I have an AT&T One X that I unlocked and flashed TWRP recovery on. I have been using this for quite some time with a stockish HTC Custom ROM. However I wanted to see what the latest Cyanogenmod was like. So I flashed the latest snapshot after first flashing the specific recovery software linked on the cyanogenmod page. So far so good. Device booted up and was ready for use.
I wanted to install Gapps afterwards so I went to OpenGapps to download the aroma installer. However the Cyanogenmod recovery software doesn't seem to support this. So I wanted to go back to TWRP. Instead of doing the usual flashing in the recovery I decided to use the TWRP Rommanager since it seemed like a quick fix. Ooh how wrong I was.
After installing the recovery through TWRP manager I accepted the request of TWRP manager to reboot to recovery. However my phone greeted me with a black screen afterwards. Up till now I haven't seen anything pop up onscreen anymore and I tried numerous things. The only strand of hope I still have left as that when connecting to my pc I'm still able to see the phone is in fastboot mode.
However when trying to execute a new flash of my recovery partition my phone keeps saying "fastboot error; remote not allowed". I've searched through numerous articles without a solution up till now. Is my phone too far gone to revive?
Doesn't seem like a straightforward fix as no responses are coming in. Maybe an indication if there would be a fix is appreciated as well.
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to get TWRP to stick for a while now, but still haven't been able to get it to install. A while ago I managed to flash Resurrection Remix using Lineage recovery which does work, but since Lineage recovery is quite limited, I really wanted to get TWRP to work. Since TWRP 3.5.0 released yesterday, I gave it another shot hoping that they fixed the issue, to no success.
I can get into TWRP just fine by temp booting it with fastboot, but after flashing the installer zip, any recovery that was previously installed gets wiped and the device will reboot when trying to get into recovery. I can still boot my phone otherwise.
The steps I took to get to this point:
Unlocked bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img
Decrypt using screen pattern (successfully)
Flashed twrp installer zip (no error messages, process finishes successfully)
Reboot into recovery (both from twrp and bootloader at a later point)
Things I've tried:
Use a different TWRP version. Same problem as described above on both 3.4.x and 3.5.x, can't get it to decrypt on lower versions due to Android 10.
Install to recovery ramdisk, this just breaks things even more, probably because it's an A/B device?
Try a different recovery. Lineage recovery works just fine, but it's very very limited. Would really like to get TWRP working.
Trying to flash the zip results in no error messages, but any previously installed recovery gets wiped and magisk is uninstalled, which leads me to believe that it has done at least something to the boot img.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT 25.02.2021:
- Attached TWRP log
EDIT 12.03.2021:
- Log didn't want to attach, they can be found here: https://pastebin.com/awnhHDBU
Same question here. It seems that you can only boot from TWRP, not install it.
Tried installing again today, to no avail. However, I was smart enough to save the log this time. I have attached it to the main post, would be much appreciated if someone could check it out.
