No one can help you if you don't tell anyone what your device model number is. The device you have is what determines how you flash recovery and which recovery you can flash.

Thats needed in most cases right.
BUT
Simple solution is just reflash stock. The error message means he has stock recovery installed.
Just need to know if you can enter "DOWNLOAD" mode

i'm just misdoubt that he flash something incorrectly you know
because he said that he can get to the recovery, but seems that he doesn't know what means recovery is
so before i say futher the solutions or what might causing the problems, it's better to know what he's knows first. because if i explain something that he doesn't know, things will be more complicated heheh :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
like my words haha :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Actaully tried to upgrade to android kitkat 4.4 from 4.2.2
but error generated and even coundt restore the backup.
now the stage is, the screen never goes off until battery runs out.
the screen appears with android logo
"Android system recovery <3e>"
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I tried all options, but didn't work.
even the tablet is not being connected with laptop.
so only option is, if reflash stock done from SDMemory card ?
kindly guide me the suitable steps.
You can't just flash kitkat roms directly from stock recovery,, you need a custom recovery to do that,,, here is the work around :
1 first reflash stock rom again
2 secondly flash a custom recovery from odin ,,, use luigi way of one step recovery and root
3 after that when you are able to boot into custom recovery,make sure you have cwm recovery >6.0.4.5 installed otherwise you will not be able to flash kitkat roms. For the record, you can flash phillz recovery 6.19.6 from custom recovery.
When you are done,please come here again

[Q] recovery partition not found

Hello,
First off, I am a total noob and probably should not have been messing with my phone before knowing exactly what I was doing. I have a Nexus 5 that I rooted with towelroot. I had xposed framework installed with some other cool tweaks. I should have stopped there. I followed the tutorial on PhoneArena yesterday titled How to download and install the Android L beta update on your Nexus 5. I downloaded and flashed the modified kernel, the SuperSU mode, and the new radio.
I had a backup kernal and recovery set up through Flashify/TWRP. The flash and installation worked. When I tried to flash the N5_L_PREV_LPV79.zip to the newer N5_L_PREV_LPV81C.zip my phone said "your recovery partition couldn't be found. You won't be able to flash recovery images. You can still flash images. It said the same thing about my boot partition. Is there anything I can do to get these partitions back? I know I shouldn't have been jacking with everything without proper knowledge. I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you,
Patrick

NO CWM RECOVERY tool for this unpopular device!!

So i've bought this unpopular tablet + phone device that has an android version 4.2.2 installed, Jelly bean. Brand name is: Neo. Full name would be: Neo Omnipad 3g. I've rooted it successfully but i kind of wanna have a backup of my system before i do some risky stuffs. I downloaded the Nandroid backup app in my phone and created a backup that is placed on my sd card now but the PROBLEM IS: I don't have a CWM recovery tool. I've tried to use ROM manager but it wont recognize my device as well which means i cant install any CWM Recovery tool that would support my device as well as backups, I also did tried the Quick boot and tried to put my device into Recovery mode but it stucked on the Android with an open body having Exclamation on it. Could somebody help me with this? Are there any other ways that could support my device in terms of having a backup of my current and original ROM or OS in this android? Thanks much!

If you can figure out how to unlock your phones' bootloader, you might be able use "Odin" to flash+backup your ROM and data.

HTC One Max boots into recovery

Hello, everyone. I have a small problem and I hope anyone will help very soon.
I unlocked my HTC One Max (Vodafone) and when I installed Superuser via recovery (TWRP), it wasnt yet rooted, so I guess I was mixin between tutorials. Then I saw the step for the unsecure kernel, downloaded it and flashed it. Now the problem is that my phone won't boot anymore and only takes me to recovery every time I choose reboot or restart system.
Can someone please help or link me to the solution if there was any.
Thanks a lot in advance

Flashing SuperSU.zip via twrp is pretty much rooting so we can leave that bit out:silly:
As for the trouble it could be either
1)you installed a wrong kernel not made for your phone
2)the installed twrp and kernel are not compatible together
I think its no.2 mostly and you'll need to make a choice between the two.
Solutions other than doing a hard reset as it will not fix your phone
1)restore a backup if you've made one beforehand
2)flash any ohrt ROM/kernel
3)flashing stock firmware
choose another recovery if you want To install and try your mentioned kernel/ROM
Note : flashing is a risky process so from now on make a backup before doing something and when following a tutorial try not to mix it up.
Try to get a good grip of what you're doing before doing anything good luck

Latest TWRP not working

Hello guys,
I have a p5113 tablet that i have been having trouble with. I have tried flashing like 5 different roms and they all boot loop. I think its because I am using an old recovery (Device Specific TWRP 3.0.0-0) the problem is only the old recoveries are working for me. When i flash the latest common TWRP (3.0.3-0) Wiping gets stuck at updating partition details, it wont install any roms it stays at "detected filesystem ext4", and if I try to reset the tablet through TWRP menu it wont do anything. When I use the old recoveries it flashes and wipes fine. When i flash stock rom through odin, the system works fine. I have tried different versions of the latest twrp but to no avail. Thank you in advance for your help.
EDIT: I finally have a custom rom working on this tablet, it is Dhollmen stock 4.2.2 with GT-P5110_PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.59.2. recovery, device specific TWRP 3.0.0-0 would give me error 7. Im very happy but I would like to get Marshmallow on this tablet if anyone can help with that.
Install the 3.0.3-0 common TWRP, then try to format data (Wipe ->Format Data-> type yes). Reboot recovery once and then perform a wipe of all partitions (Wipe->Advanced Wipe-> select everything). If you get stuck at "updating partition details..." just wait. It could take as long as five minutes some times to get unstuck.
This is the link for the thread of Slim6, the mm rom I recommend by Andi:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified/rom-slim6-t3414798/page1
And this is an aosp mm rom also by Andi, try it if above fails
http://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-6.0
Flash both with TWRP 3.0.3-0
If problems continue, post the recovery log (you can find it after reboot at /cache/recovery/ )

have you used the twrp on the http://andi34.github.io/ website? and roms compiled before 3/22/16 dont flash with common twrp when I updated twrp I had downloaded the zip and went into twrp to flash it I havent used a pc at all to install twrp and root . so I just put the zip on my sd card and it updated it did you update twrp with odin?
Thank you for your reply,
Yes I used the recoveries from Android Andi, and yes I have installed recoveries in zip form through recovery and Odin. Unfortunately neither have worked. I did use the latest recoveries when I tried to install the newer roms but it just gets stuck, I can't even make nandroid backups it also gets stuck with the newer recoveries.
Edit:
@ john99ap Sorry i just got home, I tried what you said but it just got stuck at both wipes, I waited 10 mins but a no-go. I found the logs, I couldn't paste them in here because it exceeded character length so I put it in pastebin. I didn't know which log to use so I am giving you the ones that I think are more relevant
Log:
pastebin/gpWgBEm7
Last_log:
pastebin/12uLYgwS
Last_log.10
pastebin/asePpLBa
Thank you guys again for your help!

I can't find anything in these logs
I need the log in which you try to install the zip file.
Try this:
-Install TWRP 3.0.3-0 (if it's not already there)
-Reboot and delete all recovery logs you can find
-Install the zip without doing anything else before or after so that the log is as clean as possible
-Post any log you find
PS: you could upload logs in your reply by hitting the button with a stapler on the bottom left corner
Thanks for your reply, sorry about the old logs, here are the new ones like you requested. Hopefully you find something in these new ones. Thanks again for all your help BTW I don't have any staples in my advanced reply so I had to use Pastebin again sorry. I think its because of my low post count.
pastebin/UcntGLTZ
pastebin/Fq8V7WUf
PS: Not even the reboot button works on 3.0.3-0.
Sorry but I can't find anything in these logs either. Maybe it's my fault since I 'm not an expert
At your first post you said device specific twrp gives you error 7. This is caused by a safety check in which your recovery checks if your device is compatible with the rom. In your case, it must be a mistake of the recovery (I had the same issue with my p3110 device specific twrp). So you could just remove the safety check.
Here's how to do it:
- Go to the zip you want to install and find the file /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
-Edit it with a text editor and remove the first line (it begins with asserts and ends at the first semicolon)
-Install the zip
Good luck!

Awe thanks anyways dude, I really appreciate you trying. One last thing, on Andi's website he say that device specific 3.0.0-0 recovery should work to flash the latest roms. If anyone can confirm this maybe I can get the new roms working on it. Thanks again for all your help john99ap :good:
