I currently have twrp installed but I have been looking for the stock m8 recovery for marshmallow but can't seem to find it. Just wanting it to do a factory reset with it cause I read on here somewhere that it cleans your system deeper then twrp. Thanks.

I couldn't find it either. What I ended up doing was making a NAND via TWRP, then flashing the lollipop recovery, factory reset, then flash TWRP and restore.

Ok, here's what I did.
I have had my s3 rooted and running custom ROM's. I stupidly and accidently flashed google wallet as my recovery using ezrecovery. Now the phone only boots into odin mode. Is there a way to get recovery back onto the device so I don't have to wipe it and start over (possibly losing everything on my internal SD card)?
Thanks in advance.
Silly Noob.
I don't think you'll be able to get recovery back. You'll probably need to flash stock with Odin.

I ended up with the same result after flashing a custom recovery incompatible with Imo's Lean Kernel/Kexec.
I used ODIN to flash the Root_66 ROM, and all of my internal SD contents remained intact. After the clean install, I flashed CWM 6.0.1 through EZ-Recovery and successfully restored a backup.
The only thing that didn't restore was the kernel.
Awesome. Lesson learned. Think twice before clicking! Odin'd to route 66 and now have recovery of my back up. Thanks guys!
Actually, I in case anyone does something similar the phone booted rooted just how I left it minus the custom rom. I re flashed the rom and I am back where I was without even having to flash a recovery. Thanks again!

Okay so a little while back my phone had a huge freak out and I had to restore everything to stock in order for it to even turn on anymore. Well I was trying to reroot it the other day and when I installed twrp, my phone would show the twrp screen and then boot loop over and over to that screen while I was trying to get into the recovery. Does anyone know why this could be happening or even better. I fix for my problem.
I'd try to re-flash twrp. Then from twrp, wipe everything multiple times and factory reset. But it could be something with the phone is bad and not repairable

Did you try restoring to stock using Odin and official Samsung update .tar? And also restoring to stock recovery beforehand? Try that, run the Rom for bit and see if it has any hiccups. If so, I'd say hardware issue. If not, try flashing twrp .tar file from sticky thread on how to root.

Not sure if you will lose root. Since you are already rooted the best way to go is use a custom recovery and factory wipe in recovery.
Once you have a custom recovery installed, why would you even want to use the Factory Reset function in the stock rom? You can do everything you need to do with much more flexbility in TWRP.
No idea what happens on the M8 if you do this, but I can tell you that on the Transformer tablets a factory reset from settings wiith CWM or TWRP installed left you in a nasty forced reboot to recovery loop.
Don't do it!
Oh - and no, any kind of wipe of data/cache/dalvik will not affect root. If you wipe /system it will, but then you wouldn't have a rom installed anyway!
Just do the factory wipe in TWRP. That'll wipe everything but /system and /data/media/ where your personal files (pics, videos, docs) live. If you want to get rid of those too format data in TWRP.
Edit: Sorry, didn't read your post correctly. Did you only root with Weaksauce? No S-off, no permanent root, no custom recovery?
In that case it depends where Weaksauce is installed to. I can't remember - Weaksauce didn't survive for long after using firewater, but my guess is, it would be installed to /data. And yes - a factory reset would wipe the app and you would have to install it again.
My One has been acting up lately. It started out that I couldn't turn off WiFi. I would turn it off but it would turn itself back on shortly thereafter. It has nothing to do with WiFi optimization or anything like that...I've fiddled with all those settings. Anyway, I updated to 38R thinking it might fix things, but no such luck. So I fire up titanium backup in preparation for a full wipe and find out that my device is no longer rooted. On top of that, TWRP is gone as well. No big deal, reflash TWRP and re-root. Nope. ADB says that TWRP flashes successfully, but when I boot into recovery I get the standard Cyanogen recovery instead of TWRP. Any thoughts?
Have you tried flashing stock and starting from scratch?
Did you remember to uncheck the option for updating fastboot with system update as well?

Unfortunately I missed the fastboot update bit. Did I **** myself with that?
If you could access CWM do a factory reset, and hopefully that clears up your problems, if not go back to stock via: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
the only reason why i could think that it'd say flashing is successful is it's flashing to the wrong partition (which doesn't make any sense), or the bootloaders locked, which it isn't since from your post it says you had TWRP installed, but try going back to stock fully via fastboot, then installing twrp and such.
Currently on TekHd. I want to order update TWRP. What would be the process to do this without resetting everything?

Why do you want to update twrp when there is nothing wrong with it?
If you do update twrp to a newer version it would not reset anything.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I'd also like to move onto 3.0.0.0 because MTP does not work on 2.8.7.1. I have tried everything and am unable to move anything off the phone in TWRP.

Nothing will be reset. Just download the version for your device in .IMG format and flash it in TWRP or via Odin. I have no issues with 3.0 and have been using it since it became available.

Download Flashify via play store, download TWRP IMG and flash via Flashify. Note be sure to select recovery IMG not boot IMG. Done!
