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?

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.

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

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.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
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.
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

Another thought. You have your bootloader unlocked. You can flash the TWRP image through fastboot. Then you can flash the "flashable zip" stock firmware

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
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/233
Then simply install the corresponding stock flashable zip

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 official update was released for xt1033 i got back to kitkat 4.4.4 to download ota. But when i flashed kitkat through fastboot it got stuck on unlocked bootloader screen.

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)

Are you not able to reflash a stock bootloader. You can then unroot by using SuperSU in its settings page.
Hope this helps a little.

Does reflashing the boot loader reset and erase phone? If not how do I do it in detail please. I already unrooted super su. But still stuck with twrp.
Flashing a recovery doesn't wipe the phone. Just like if you flash cwm over twrp for example, your phone wouldn't wipe it'd just boot to cwm recovery instead of twrp. You'll need to search for your phones stock one.
On the Galaxy Note 4 I would flash a PDA file with the bootloader CSC etc that's all Stock. It would be a tar file and I would flash this using Odin. I believe this is only on Samsung though. Not sure how it is done for LG but I can imagine it's similar. You could attempt to flash everything stock using your computer I believe but I am not sure as this only applies to Samsung devices. But you get the idea, perhaps a Google search can further help you though! Hope this helped √

Yeah I know it'll wipe it. Just thought in case you decided to fresh install. It doesn't take that long really to set back up even if you do go down that route.
I keep reading posts that tell me to flash Magisk using custom recovery but my phone says 'update from external storage is disabled' so that's a no go.. And I can't use Odin because it's a ZIP file, not MD5, .TAR, SMD. etc. What else can I do? I've only ever managed to root my phone once and that was using CF AUTO Root which can be flashed by Odin.

You can download TWRP as .tar.md5 and flash it using Odin.

Why would you suggest that? In case I reach a point where apps are no longer compatible with my outdated software? Thanks, I might do that.

Marshmallow is already fully supported and you will be able to get full control to anything you like. Usually you can trust roms you get at the XDA forum as its a pretty active community and harmfull users would be banned real quickly. The only point is that modded stock rom or custom roms like LineageOS and derivates may not be stable and cause functionality issues.
So I've used this forum to find TWRP for my device https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...official-experimental-twrp-galaxy-s5-t3293379, I'm not sure how to 'Run flash-recovery.sh' because, as I mentioned, it won't let me flash from my SD card.. Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE: Managed to get TWRP as my custom recovery. Thanks so much for your help! I genuinely had no idea you could flash TWRP onto your phone! I was using the app which is hopeless. Most forums I've found say 'boot in recovery' which is quite unclear if you're not familiar with that..
Can I flash Nougat update onto my S5 Neo? It's originally not supported, that's the only reason I'm asking..
Can I still root with Magisk on that operating system as well and restore from Nandroid backup?
After carrier unlocking Japanese S7 edge SCV33 model, the firmware changes to SC-02H.

First enable OEM unlocking from the developers options.

After installing, Please backup the whole rom to your SD card.
If you have any problem backing up. You can flash the stock recovery image in the link below and your device will boot up fine.
If the TWRP backup is a success,
First make sure your device boots up with this Twrp installed before rooting.
If the device boots up, then flash the SuperSu. If the device doesnot boots up, flash the stock recovery.

If the device fails to boot up with this twrp, Flash the super su. Turn off the device, then flash the Stock recovery via odin and bootup the phone. See if Super Su is installed.
Flash this flashable SuperSu v2.82.zip
http://www.supersu.com/download
You will loose root after a factory reset. Flash again!!!!
DONOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT BACKING UP.
First boot will loop for few times.
YOUR SIM CARD WILL RUN FINE
After rooting, incase you want your stock recovery, or your device doesnot boots up. Flash this via odin.

If this doesnt help and you fail to boot up the device or you messed up the device..... just restore from twrp and flash the stock recovery. You will have your device back to normal like it was before.
Hit thanks if this helped.
Below are some screenshots with SuperSu and all japanese apps removed!
You can also change the boot animation of this device by replacing corresponding botanimation files.
Backup the stock bootanimation files first.

So, i found a new rom for our device
Found a new rom for our device... anybody would like to test it???
Flash the rom via ODIN....
Caution: I have experienced loosing my imei number if i perform a factory reset after installing this rom. Because of the previous nandroid backup, i was able to bring back device to previous working state. DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK..
My advice is that you backup your current rom and then only FLASH.
You get the idea.
Lot of work needed in this rom.
However it is stable...
Anybody who would like to modify????
All credit goes to the rightful owner....
Features like:
inbuilt fingerprint app lock
new launcher
all japanese bloats removed
no requirement of japanese docomo country code while dialing certain numbers
samsung keyboard
many device languages

Following this thread. I have an SCV33 device with SC-02H software. Tried to install TWRP, backup and wipe functions not working. I get the error "failed to mount /data invalid argument"
Anything I can test other than this method?

Yes....
Inorder to solve the failed to mount data.... you will have to boot into twrp and then go to wipe. At the bottom left.. you will see fomat data....
You will loose all the phone memory data so first its better you backup....
Then you will have no problem.. you can boot up all ok.
to install xposed..... Flash the xposed installer from twrp and the reboot. Install the xposed apk file and there you go.. you have your Xposed.
To uninstall xposed if incase you dont like it... Uninstall the xposed apk... reboot to twrp and flash the xposed uninstaller.zip
Hey, I was just wondering, can we change our CSC codes so we can avoid getting carrier bloatware?

you can manually delete the carrier bloats using any root explorer after rooting. you can then make and save a debloated nandroid backups..
or
you can go ahead and try whatever you are feeling like to... Life is an experiment my friend.

About root, yes, i can root my phone, but the problem is nfc has been disable, i dont know why, i cant find the reason. I tried like this:
cook rom - nfc ok
flash twrp - nfc not working
re-flash stock recovery - then nfc ok
so im try by re-flash twrp and install su to root (nfc not working) then im re-flash stock recovery: result nfc not working
BTW, thank you for your tut to install xposed
The link for TWRP is dead. Any chance to get a new one?
