So I have TWRP installed on my rooted Galaxy S3 (I535), and the 4.3 update just came out and was available to me.
I downloaded it, and tried to install it (I know that it will remove root), and when it finished downloading, it opened the TWRP boot menu.
Does anyone else who uses TWRP know how to install the new update? I couldn't find it and it wouldn't automatically install....

Well I don't plan on using a custom ROM, I was using just the stock ROM + root. How do I do this?

What way do you want to go Odin firmware will wipe internal sd card but it will be a nice clean install. Or ota after the stock recovery has been flashed through Odin but you might have weird bugs with ota... Might

I'd rather not wipe the internal SD card.. Isn't there just a way to install the update without all the hassle? I don't remember doing all this for rooting it... I'm fine with losing the root upon installing the new update as I can just root it again with safe root

Find the. Stock recovery download it and flash through Odin. there are ways to do it through terminal but odin is the fastest to explain. After that you should beable to ota and keep your setup as is. It is odd that you cant ota I had twrp when i took the ota.

Well it just directs me to TWRP, and I have no idea where to go from there. I don't care about ever having TWRP again and I don't care about having a locked bootstrap, as I only need stock with root.
Never mind I was on stock recovery I forgot I was recovering from a soft brick when I decided to give it a shot.

You kind of only have 2 options now. Attempt a "dirty" flash of a ROM so you can save your internal SD files then odin or do the full Odin wipe and forget about keeping the files. Either way unless anyone else has a idea you lose your current setup.

So let me get this straight.
There's no way for me to install the update unless I flash to another ROM? I don't see why I can;t just update and lose odin and TWRP or whatever
Edit-----
I found the zip file while browsing TWRP. Can I just install it?

OK I'll explain what I think went bad.when you downloaded the update it was expecting factory stock recovery to finish the install. Since you had twrp it failed. FYI Odin is a program on the PC to communicate with the phone in download mode (Odin mode). try to do a factory reset before you go crazy with my other suggestions. I have a feeling one of the 3 options I gave you are your only options.

Yeah but you already soft bricked it. Any brick you do you should be able to fix. just so you know you backed yourself into a corner. No matter what you do you have a chance of bricking. Its all part of being a power user. If your uncomfortable with that after you are on 4.3 you might not want to root.

Yeah I know there's always the chance of bricking, just wanted to know if that specific thing would do it. I've been into rooting since my Droid 1, Droid 2, and Droid X. But I'm always cautious.
If I do a factory reset and back up all my data, will it get rid of odin and TWRP and everything? Then just install the 4.3 update and root using safe root? Would that work?

You would need to flash stock recovery completely replacing twrp. so if factory reset works and you can boot you should beable to flash stock recovery then redo the ota.

If you have backups of stuff on your internal sd it would be much faster to just Odin to 4.3 right now.

Factory reset deals with the rom. So no it will stay twrp.

Using Odin is a lot like SBF'ing on the droid x (that was my last phone also). So if you can remember installing cyanogen mod 6 or 7 you probably always did a factory reset before first boot. Custom recovery stays intact the only way to get rid of it was to flash stock recovery with terminal emulator or sbf back to pure stock. Luckily Odin let's us flash the recover by its self so we have more options with Samsung.
Hello everyone, I have a Moto G (2013) aka first generation Moto G & I live in India. I had unlocked my bootloader. I even flashed cwm touch via fastboot but it doesn't go to recovery mode at all. I get a black screen. I tried flashing the official TWRP 2.8.4.0 today, but I get a message that reads, "Partition size mismatch" & I'm stuck. The phone is usable & it boots up normally & I use it daily. But it is the recovery that is messed up. I tried updating to lollipop by ota but the device got stuck on a black screen once the ota was downloaded. I tried downloading the KitKat factory image, but the link is dead. Please, somebody help!! Thanks in advance!
Sent from my XT1033 using xda premium
The partition size mismatch error can be ignored, You get that error because the TWRP 2.8.4.0 is for the XT1032 and not the XT1033. To flash the OTA, you have to use the stock recovery only. Your system should not be modified (eg. It shouldn't be rooted, and if it had been rooted previously, you will have to unroot it.) To flash the stock recovery again, download the Asian XT1033 4.4.4 firmware and just flash the "recovery.img" from it. The flash the OTA. The numerous guides regarding this in the general section should help you.
I have a similar question.
I have unlocked bootloader & rooted moto g.
I received official OTA update today but its not installing. Do I need to lock bootloader or do something else to install the official OTA update?
Facing a similar issue. Updated the moto g and was successful. It was used for a couple of days before the error cropped up.
Now, it boots up but goes to a black screen after the boot animation. However, it still connects to the computer and I'm able to see the phone and its files in explorer. Beyond that, I can't interact with the phone because the screen is totally black.
Additionally, I can access the bootloader, but selecting 'factory' or 'recovery' isn't doing anything - just black screens everywhere.
The phone was perfectly fine for a few days after the update. (The phone is unrooted and unmodded and was running stock at lolipop update.)
Another thread suggests that I should
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
Is that a viable course of action? Has anybody been able to recover from this issue?

No need to lock. Unroot, reflash stock signed recovery and you should be good to go. Also undo any modifications you made to the filesystem and wiping /cache should help prevent errors.

Try fastboot erase cache, it shouldn't delete any of your data and it might be enough to get the device working again. You might want to wipe the dalvik-cache as well. If all else fails, since you can access you filesystem, backup all important files and do a factory reset.

1. No it should not. If you had root before you will still have it. Search in the forum for more info.
2. Yes but you can easily uninstall xposed with the click of a button.
3. This is by far the easiest and safest method. I know of one alternative is to flash the ota update zip through custom recovery but you are on your own there.

I've been in the samsung family for so long that I didn't realize how different flashing can be. I broke my phone so I bought a Moto G. Rooted it right away with only a little trouble. I installed a Lollipop ROM afterward and couldn't get my phone to boot. Guess who forgot to do a backup of the stock ROM? Yay me... but anyway, I found a stock file and went through all the steps in the screenshot. Each time, I got the okay to move on and I assumed I had the stock file flashed. Upon rebooting, I stay at the "warning, bootloader is unlocked" and phone doesn't go any further. I'm not booting up at all and custom recovery is gone now.
Can anyone help? I'm at my wit's end.
Thanks in advance.

Follow this step by step. I did it twice. If your phone boots, it is more than likely recoverable. Once you get everything sorted out and are ready to flash a custom ROM, I recommend Carbon ROM (personal preference).
The lollipop ones are still shaky. I would try em out but they truly aren't daily drivers yet

That's actually the instructions I used to try to flash back to stock. But when it reboots, it never gets past the warning about bootloader. I can get the TWRP recovery back but from there is there another way to flash the "flashable zip"? With Samsung I could always use ODIN but I don't think it works with Moto G. I can't get the zip to internal storage to flash it.
Thanks for the reply by the way I'm going to try it one more time I think....

Get back TWRP custom recovery by booting your phone into bootloader and flash via fastboot. You can get the .IMG file for the falcon from their website latest version is 2.8.5.0

Quick question. When I go into recovery to flash the zip, do I go to 'advanced' and then ' terminal command'? and go from there? I feel like a noob and I've flashed dozens of roms...
To flash a zip, choose the install option, find the name of the zip, select it, swipe to install it.

The problem is that I didn't make a backup. When I tried flashing back to stock using fastboot everything was wiped. I don't even have the original custom ROM that started the whole mess. The stock file flashed but phone won't boot. I never get passed the boot loader warning screen. I did everything to the tee (following the directions that BBobby posted above. Actually did it twice. Isn't there an ODIN type deal for this phone. Brand new and I've broke it dangit.
Oh and I can't get into the phone to enable us debugging.
There is rsd lite but it may not help. Odin doesn't help if you can't enter download mode too. Usb debugging isn't require to flash a rom or install recovery.
It sounds like your phone is not booting because of the bootloade or the data partition is messed up.
I can get into bootloader and I have TWRP installed and can boot into it. I'm starting to think it's a lost cause. Thanks though y'all.

When the ROM is finished flashing (stock that is) it never gets past the bootloader warning screen. If I could just get a zip onto the phone, I could flash through TWRP but I have no idea how to or if it's even possible.

The moto g just needs to do a wipe. Advanced wipe is not necessary. Then install the zip from the folder. By the way you can flash from USB otg (USB storage device such as a flash drive)

I am new to rooting, and decided to root my Galaxy Note II SGH-i317m a few days ago. I used a method with no adb access...i think. Here's the reference thread, just in case I'm wrong: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644
I got a bit overenthusiastic, and got TWRP while forgetting to unlock my bootloader first. Now, my phone will only boot into TWRP. All 4 reboot options go back to TWRP.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just tried that, and no change. Just to clarify, the only thing I can boot into at the moment is recovery mode.
I think what I need to do is flash the stock recovery back onto my phone. Is this a possible solution? If so, how should I go about doing it? I currently cannot access download mode.
i think u should install your current rom again if u insall stock recovery you may not able to do this with stock recovery even cant get twrp back
so..do a nandroid backup and install a rom which u like stock1 or custom1

Well, the thing is, my problem isn't with the ROM at all. It's that TWRP does not work with a locked bootloader. So the way I see it, either I need to replace TWRP with something that works with a locked bootloader, or unlock the bootloader. In your opinion, how would replacing the ROM help with my problem?

It's done. It's worth noting that my root method, linked in the OP, doesn't give adb access. I'm not sure if this changes anything.
Also, I discovered that by removing and replacing the battery, my phone can power off. From here I can access download mode. Something that might be useful, especially if the solution involves odin.

try it first and if ur not sure that it will work just make backup of boot , efs , system and data(if necessary) via twrp to sd card copy the backup to pc via card reader or something and extract the system backup there should be a file named build.prop in system folder edit it and do it like this :
under #additional build properties
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.root_access=1
find the above lines and edit the parameters as i have shown to you use notepad++ to edit the file save it the last line will give ya root access by default and second last will make it debuggable just save it repack and flash with twrp cheers
hit thanks
Alright. Since I can't find another thread like this one, I will assume that I am one of the first to have this problem. Here is what I did.
I used samsung-firmware.org to find the latest firmware for my phone, which includes both ROM and recovery. Other brands probably also have a website like this.
I used Odin to flash the firmware onto my phone - this wiped my data, but removed TWRP, which is an acceptable solution to me. I might also have wiped my data while playing around with TWRP trying to fix my phone - I'm not sure.
Thanks to both EMONESSboy and [email protected] for their help. I ended up going with something similar to EMONESSboy's solution, since the commands seemed a little risky. Thanks anyways, your help is much appreciated!

If your situation is the same as mine was, I would recommend the same solution. Just to clarify - you rooted your phone? And then you installed a custom recovery, which is now the only thing you can access?
If so, you should install your stock ROM the same way you installed the rooted ROM. I'm not sure how you would go about doing that, or even if you can access that mode, since your model is not very common.

Actually, what happend was that i tried to root my phone through Kingaroot. It shows some error at 90%. After few seconds my phone gets rebooted and snce then, it is showing Mfr LOGO only.
I have tried Factory reset, wipe cache partition etc.
I had lollipop earlier on my phone.
Hi all, using S7 SM-G930F. Just got it yesterday and first thing I wanted to do was flash TWRP so I could put the new Pixel OS onto it.
Used ODIN, got the pass message as usual... phone rebooted automatically into stock OS. I turned it off and tried booting into recovery mode but it gets stuck at the splash screen. Nothing happens, not even stock recovery. I re-flashed TWRP without auto-reboot option this time but the same thing happens.
So essentially I have a phone that works but no recovery mode at all I can't find anyone else with this same problem, please help. I can't get any further without it. Ideally I want to avoid flashing the entire stock image. Thanks
OEM unlocked?
ODIN 3.12.3 or later used?

Yes I did set OEM unlocked.
Ahhh, I am using ODIN 3.10.6!! Thanks, let me try 3.12 and get back to you if there's a problem. Thank you very much.

I'm afraid it hasn't worked. Exactly the same thing, just stuck on splash screen until I reboot into OS.
Double checked, OEM Unlock is definitely enabled.
Id flash stock again to fix recovery, then try TWRP with ODIN 3.12.3

Do you mean flash the entire stock firmware or just stock recovery? I'm attempting to extract stock recovery from firmware now... but if I have to flash the whole firmware then I guess I have to.
Just flash full stock, you won't lose anything unless you flash CSC which resets the phone after the flash
But you do know you have to wipe your phone to get TWRP installed correctly right?

Nope. I didn't know. No guide I used ever states that anywhere (I'm a CWM person also, first time using TWRP).
Sounds strange to me.. How do you root your phone using TWRP then if you have to wipe it first?
Can I even use CWM for S7? Didn't think so as there are no guides for it.
Not worried about losing anything as only got the phone yesterday but really worried about the stock firmware flash not working the same way TWRP doesn't, that's why I wanted to avoid it if possible, I'll give it a go. Thanks

You don't have to use TWRP to root, if you're not bothered about having custom recovery you can just flash CF-Auto Root using ODIN, that will root without the need for TWRP
Reason you have to wipe with TWRP is because of encryption the phone is using - reading the TWRP thread would be a good plan before blindly flashing stuff
Don't worry about flashing stock, I have the same G930F, flashed stock a couple times using ODIN, no issues

I followed http://galaxys7root.com/galaxy-s7-s7-edge-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s7-s7-edge/3/
They never mentioned anything.
I just flashed stock firmware and now I can't do anything, no recovery, no download, no OS. Bootloop no matter what...
http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS7/6.0.1/SM-G930F/UnitedKingdom
This is what I used...
Kept trying and eventually got back into download mode (it was really hard)...
I am still lost on what to do now though.

Follow XDA guides, not random sites
OK, considering the phone is pretty much empty and new, just flash all 4 ROM parts with ODIN
AP, BL, CP and CSC, factory reset the phone and start again from scratch
This time read the TWRP thread, or the CF Auto root thread here on XDA before doing anything at all

Thanks! Boots now. Shame I only really found this place's guides after the one I used failed, starting again now
Did you unlock your bootloader? That is way flashing twrp works but would not boot twrp
I know the problem. Make sure "reboot automatically" is DISABLED in Odin when flashing TWRP. If you do not it will fail. I know from experience. Im assuming you already know to habe OEM unlocked etc etc
