I have recently been having problems with TWRP, when I factory reset to install a new rom it rests just fine then when I go to install the new rom the phone reboots and when it has restarted it hasn't actually wiped anything. Is there a better option for a recovery everyone would recommend?
Did you flash the recovery in the twrp app? Reason I asked is cause the app wanted to flash mine to the wrong partition.

I did it through fastboot
Use fastboot erase and fastboot format <partition>

I'm not real familiar with using fastboot, when I put this recovery on and unlocked the phone was the first time I ever used it. So how would I go about doing that and what does it do
Clockworkmod
Clockworkmod recovery is available for the M8 but it is not the official version. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708520

TWRP works just fine here. Which version do you have installed? Sure you flashed TWRP for the M8???
And what do you mean with "hasn't wiped anything"?
You do a factory wipe (default under Wipe menu) and when you boot your apps are still there, you don't have to go through setup?
After performing a factory wipe, go to Advanced and save the recovery log. Post it here.

Yeah it doesn't wipe anything the phone restarts and all my apps and their data is still intact. I just finished recovering from a bad situation. I flashed philz touch recovery using flashify and when I went to the recovey to do a backup the screen went black and booted staight into the hboot screen, every time I tried to reboot the phone it would send me to the hboot screen. I finally got twrp back by fasboot from my computer it was the newest twrp I got to flash I believe 2.7.1.0 I tried to restore a backup but all it would was restore the system and stop when it got to system data. I even tried flashing a new rom and that failed also. I then installed the other twrp 2.7.0.2 because I read most people are still ueing it because of problems with theother one. The phone still wouldn't boot or flash a rom but I got the restore to work by choosing not to restore data after rebooting two or three times the phone finally rebooted and all my apps and their data were still the even though I tried to install and new rom three or four times. Im a little worried now about trying to flash anything now. Im not new to android but my last phone was rock solid and I never had to deal with this many head aches. Thanks for any insite you can offer and sorry for such a long post

RUU back to stock using the thread in the development forum. At the end of following the RUU instructions it gives you the option you flash a recovery. Select yes and flash twrp

Ok, So i rooted my T-mobile G2x 2.3.3 and there were difficulties when i flashed the Cyanogen 7mod. The Rom worked but the only default was i didnt get data. Like i couldnt even get Edge. The only way to use internet and stuff was through wifi. SO then i reflashed it thinking it was a bad flash. But when i reflash through rom manager it gives me the option to downoad with google apps. so i clicked that option. It downloaded fine but on the reboot it stayed stuck on the 2nd LG screen. Am i bricked or if anyone can help id appreciate it alot.
U can't do it via rom manager. U have to flash recovery using nv flash, then u can try to flash custom rom. Remeber to wipe data and format system before flashing any rom.
U r not bricked yet
Check here to nv flash the cwm

Did you flash CWM via NV Flash. If not, do that. Then boot into recovery by holding down the power + volume down keys until you get the second boot logo. Then wipe the dalvik cache and the regular cache. That is usually why a phone refuses to boot.
Also, if your phone turns on it is not bricked. Bricked means when you press the power button nothing happens at all. You can be soft-bricked like you are, but it can be easily fixed. Nothing to panic about.
I did all of that im sorry if i gave you info wrong. Like i cant do anything it turns on but goes to the first LG screen then goes to the new LG screen with the blue streaks and it stays there. Then when i try to go into CWR it shows the LG with a blue and black loading bar below then shows as if its loading something then it just goes back to the blue LG screen and im stuck there.

You have stock recovery on the recovery partition, not CWM. You MUST flash CWM onto the physical recovery partition using NVFlash with the One Click flasher. You used Rom Manager and that doesn't install CWM onto the recovery partition. Once you have CWM properly installed you can enter recovery and revive your phone.

@OP, this is is correct. Use tga gunmann's nvflash tool from the development section. The process is super easy. Just make sure to follow his instructions closely. Just fyi, most people get errors during the nvflash process because they don't install the apx drivers appropriately, so take your time and read the instructions carefully.

Start off by wiping cache and then go to Advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If you still can't boot after that then try a full factory reset.
Just remember the first boot after wiping dalvik cache can take several minutes as android rebuilds the dalvik cache. All subsequent reboots will be MUCH faster.

Did you do as phburks said and go into advanced and wipe the Dalvik Cache. Most issues of not booting are related to the Dalvik Cache not being wiped after flashing a new rom. That is essential to getting your phone to boot again. A factory reset DOES NOT clear the Dalvik Cache.

Could be a bad download. I'd try downloading again. Use your computer to download again and save it to your microsd card. Then reinsert the sdcard, boot back into cwm and try again.

The reason I ask is that with cm7 you have to flash 2 separate zip files. First you flash the actual cm7 zip which installs the rom and then you flash the gapps zip which installs the Google apps (market, gmail, etc). Make sure you have both on your sdcard and then flash the rom first and gapps second.

Not sure. I'd just play it safe, re-download both, wipe data, and reflash both. Sometimes its hard to determine which step went wrong and its best and quicker to just start with a clean slate and redo everything.
I wont be able to post for a while so good luck.
Yesterday i preformed a hot reboot because my phone was not installing apps correctly. I used the app Hot Reboot. When i looked at my phone again this morning it was still booting! I took the battery out and back again and pressed the power button. But how i try it keeps booting all the time! I can get into all boot modes but i don't want to flash a whole new rom 'cause i haven't backup all my stuff... What can I do? Will this be solved with flashing for example a new kernel or anything wich doen't reset my phone? I'd really appreciatie help!
Try clearing the cache and the dalvik cache in recovery, if that doesn't work tho you will most likley have to do a full wipe and re-install your rom.

Tnx but my phone still keeps on booting after wiping cache. Is there maybe a way to backup all my system 'n data files using adb or something?
It also happened to me this morning...u may again flash your device with the stock roms (froyo or gingerbread) again by using Odin Multi downloader...first power off the phone..then hold volume down+home+power on
To bring into download mode
Then flash the roms...it should restart....at least worked for me

Go into recovery mode and then go to backup and restore and then select backup. It usually takes a little while backing up the system so be patient.

I don't have clockworkmod recovery. Can I just flash the latest version of g3mod (wich involves cwmrecovery)? Doesn't it reset my phone if I flash that?
But are there no possibilities using adb? Because i run one of the first g3mod kernels...

Just flash the latest G3MOD kernel and use the CWM from that. It won't wipe any data whatsoever but if you get force closes it is recommended that you wipe the data from CWM. I don't really know how to use ADB but i think rudolf895 has a tutorial on youtube. Google 'rudolf895' and find his video that is called how to make your own custom ROM.

All,
I updated to the latest RebelRom today but had an issue with the email client so tried to re-flash the previous version (forgot to make a backup...). Somehow during this re-flash the phone rebooted so the flashing never took.
Now when I go into recovery(TWRP) I get the TWRP splash screen and then it boot loops.
I've tried flashing the recovery again (2.4.0.0) and flashing the boot.img again however this continues to happen.
I tried a factory reset and it too just boot loops on me.
Any suggestions or is this bricked good?

If it's boot looping then you're not flashing recovery just fine.... If recovery flashed fine then when you select recovery from the bootloader, it would boot to recovery..

Factory reset is not what you think it is. It just formats the user partition. If the ROM is not properly flashed, factory reset isn't going to help. Common mistake, since the term "factory reset" is a bit of a misnomer. It implies that it returns the phone to factory condition, which is quite often not the case.

Do the following:
Turn your HTC On.
Holdbfhe power for 15-20 seconds.
Release, when the device flashes.
Press and hold the volume down button.
Press the power button for 3 seconds, and release.
Keep your finger on the volume down button.
This should take you to bootloader, download the latest
TWRP For your HTC.

You should now be able to enter Recovery. I suggest getting the Avatar ROM, experiencing no current errors IMO If this has worked, please reply.

So I just wiped my cache and dalvik in TWRP and now I have no radio, no IMEI, no storage.. I think it borked my partitions. Tried flashing the factory image to no avail. It failed on the radio and I still have no storage.

There is no way you simply wiped cache and dalvik. That doesn't even come close to touching your IMEI.
Why did you go to clear your cache / dalvik in the first place? Describe anything you did in terms of installing apps, flashing, wiping, etc.

All I did was flash a zip to change the dpi of my navbar. I've flashed the same zip a couple times before. Wiped cache + dalvik and it hung up for a while, screen went black for 5 minutes then the phone rebooted into its current state. I realize that wiping the caches doesn't touch the IMEI or anything like that, but what if the version of TWRP I have is buggy?
So knowing that yes, that is all I did, is there any way to fix it?
After a bit of googling I got it fixed. Apparently sometimes TWRP will cause some havok with the partitions when wiping cache. I just updated to the latest TWRP, wiped the cache again and everything came back up. Weird.

Big thank you for this, I thought I was boned. I was trying to flash 4.4.1 but forgot that I had modified the screen density in the build.prop and so I got an error, tried to wipe the cache, thought it had hung up, got impatient and VERY stupid and forced the phone to reboot. SDCard was entirely inaccessible, couldn't connect to AT&T, everything was screwed up and everything I could find told me that wiping everything back to stop and losing the data was my only option. I had a week-old TiBu on my dropbox, which isn't bad but not great either. Nandroid, of course, inaccessible along with the SDcard. Your trick of updating TWRP (I had 2.6.3.2, latest is 2.6.3.4) and then wiping the cache again worked perfectly.
To anyone who comes across this, here's a quick overview:
1. Download the latest TWRP at http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
2. Boot your phone into Fastboot mode (Vol Down + Power from off, I think...worked for me)
3. Make sure your phone is plugged in via USB.
4. Open a command prompt in the folder you put TWRP in (ADB needed, obviously), type:
fastboot flash recovery imagename.img
For example:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-hammerhead.img
5. Only took a couple seconds until it was finished. Used the volume buttons to highlight Restart Recovery, hit power to reboot into recovery.
Wipe > Advanced Wipe, wipe what you need to wipe, viola, it was working at this point for me. Rebooted the phone, everything's back to normal. (it went through the "Optimizing apps" things on boot-up which took a few minutes, but everything is where I left it).

I just got my Nexus 5 a while ago and I just unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP and as soon as I opened TWRP it basically crashed and rebooted the phone is a boot loop but now when I go to TWRP the log says Unable to mount /data and I can't do anything. Does anyone have the solution? I knew I shouldn't have rooted -_-
Have you flashed a stock cache.img yet? Thats usually the first thing to try.

Not yet right now I'm currently using Wug's Toolkit and seeing if that helps then i'll try that. Do you have the link by any chance?
OH thank GAWD its working again thanks for your help though
what did you do in the toolkit?
Generally the consensus here is to not use toolkits. There are 2-3 "Johnny Opposite" members, but the masses of senior members see them as a bad thing.
I explain what happend.
You opened bootloader, but you flashed twrp instead of start the phone to let stock recovery finish the formating. You flashed twrp and rebooted to twrp. Twrp found the commands in the memory or on the misc partition to do a factory reset then reboot, but that format command is not compatible with twrp, so that commamd was skipped and then twrp rebooted your, because that was the next command in the line. Now your started booting with an unformated cache and data partition. The easiest way to solve the issue is to do a format data in twrp to format data partition then a factory reset to format cache.
So In the toolkit I basically flashed the stock rom and it basically factory reset EVERYTHING so now its working again thanks for the help! Now to try this over again
