Can someone help please? I installed CWM Recovery thru ROM Manager. Rebooted in recovery to back up my ROM and now I can't get out of recovery. Every time I select Reboot System it reboots me into recovery.
Try here (if you can use NVFlash)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519635&highlight=boot+into+cwm
Like many others, When I saw the thread over in the Dev section about the 5.5.0.4 recovery, I jumped right in and fired up Rom Manager before reading any further in the thread.
Unlike many others, I don't get the same results. My TF101 reboots to the OS with no problem. However trying to reboot to recovery from recovery doesn't work. I have to hold the vol. down button just like a cold boot into recovery.
The only difference might be, that I had stock recovery prior to installing 5.5.0.4, due to having to recover from another soft brick condition after trying to install the CM9 Nightly that is now available over on the official Clockworkmod site. That one had failed miserably for my device.
Good luck with solving your problems with the new recovery. Wish I could explain exactly why mine seemed to work as advertised when most others didn't. But I don't know.
I do have the problem with the Removable MicroSD not being visible. Only the built in "Fake" SD Card.
Update:
I now have the reboot into recovery problem. I used the wipe data option from the VOL DWN/PWR button start up, and now have that annoying boots into recovery problem like everyone else. I hope that and the SD card problem gets fixed in the next version.
Thanks, got everything back to normal with NVFlash method I found by watching this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VMHXeYMgPy4
Lesson learned!! :/
Curious where the thread in the Dev section went to, I cant find it this morning...
Unfortunately, some of us cannot use NVFLash to fix this problem.
So, is it too much to ask that the Dev who wrote Rom Manager and CWM actually look in to this for us?
I too installed the newer CWM through Rom Manager and need to cold boot to get in to the OS otherwise it recovery boot loops.

Thread was closed. I was on it this morning and wanted to post a reply saying NV Flash work for me and I couldn't because it said the thread was closed.
I read the whole thing and apart from NV Flashing the was no other solution
How do you know you can't NVFlash?
yea , this morning the thread in the Dev section went to general , and now closed.
Perhaps we should follow this until everything is clarified.
the nvflash only work for b60 and some b70 tablets , most of b70 and b80 cant be flashed with this tool
I'm working on something to fix this, but I still need a little more testing.

ok, then waiting
any clue where to attack the problem?
Some people reported the new recovery worked when flashed over stock recovery.
any help you can supply on this would be greatly appreciated. it's very uncomfortable not being able to count on your recovery.

too late for us
I was up until 1am following the thread and posting my process, specs.
I am even more curious as to how the thread which was still pretty calm turned in to something that deserved being deleted.
In any event, I think we all understand that what we do is at our own risk. But CWM and Rom Manager have been the gold standard of reliability for quite some time. Once something is a trusted means by which to do something its even more disappointing to see that it no longer works.
the first post was moved because it was not exactly a development post
then, in the general section, I do not know why it closed, there is no explanation
so if microsd is not recognized, i can install rom from internal, right?

Hello there.
I have been trying to learn and use custom ROMs on my LG G2 for a couple of weeks now, so far I haven't been doing too well. Luckily, smarter people than I on this forum have always brought me back from the brink of me causing a nuclear meltdown on my phone! Especially:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Today, when I received an automatic update to SuperSU, a notification appeared in my notification shade informing me that my "SU Binaries Needed to be Updated!". I tapped on it, wanting to know more about these binaries that apparently required an update. This opened up the SuperSU app on my phone with a pop-up that also said the the SU binaries needed to be updated; I tapped continue. Another pop-up appeared telling me that if I had TWRP the binaries could possibly be updated through it (A "normal" option was also shown). My eager and naive mind chose to update via TWRP. My eagerness grew as my LG G2 booted into TWRP and seemed to install something. During this process, the phone rebooted again and my phone seemed to be just fine for ~1 minute.
Mission Accomplished!
Nope. To my utter horror (Though it was kind of expected) the phone force rebooted into TWRP again and attempts at rebooting to system have been met with being booted right back into TWRP. A factory reset had no effect as well. Following pattern, I made my way back to XDA and sniffed around for a while trying to find a thread where people had experienced something similar to myself. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately ), no one had. Then, I thought back to the post I posted above. FOTA is "firmware over the air" doesn't it? Could the command listed in the above post get me back to stock? Like I said before I'm a huge noob with a final goal of actually being able to contribute to XDA and others in the future. The key phrase being "I am a huge noob".
Minimal Information About The Phone (I am so sorry)
Android 4.4.2 Stock (Rooted)
Rooted With TowelRoot as I wanted to see if it actually worked
Installed TWRP with AutoRec (I'll link it below)
SuperSU as Root Manager (Installed from Play Store)
Verizon Model (VS980)
My Internal Storage was deleted about a week ago and I unfortunately did not make an NAndroid backup before I made this foray into unknown territory, I am terrible.

Thank you so much for reading all of that, if you did! If you have any suggestions/links to any good tutorials for LG G2 ROMs they would be greatly appreciated! I have had some trouble with CM 11 in the past, but I think that was due to my own personal failings.
Hi,
It's great that you are trying to learn and doing your homework! That's what XDA is all about. ?
For many questions, try this thread...

Hey there!
Sorry for not responding to you for so long! I ended up using the FOTA command from the link I posted above and it worked like a charm! (Though it did once again delete my data ) Currently reinstalling everything and making an nandroid backup. Thank you for providing me with the help forums as well, they are quite good at what they do! Happy Sunday! Cheers!
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hello!
I have a SCH-I535PP that has a bad screen and a SPH-L710 that has a good one. I stripped them both down to the "frame" of the screen and replaced all the SPH's innards with the SCH's, besides the front facing cam because the screw is stripped out.
The problem with this is that the pcb is not meant for this "frame" and I have to leave a screw out so that it doesn't sandwich the pcb that connects the upper and lower sections of pcb, possibly un-connecting something as I screw it together. I also had to leave out the black screw as theres no hole in the SPH's frame.
So, the features I'm missing is the camera, vibration, wifi, and the home button. However I'm not sure if the home button worked on this frame so. But if that's the case (which is might be because I can't get into recovery) then I can't clear cache to see if that would fix the said hardware faults.
Worse comes to worse I just need the wifi really, but having the rest of it would be great. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

The Digitizer Assembly is compatible between the two models but, not the specific electronic components.
That's pretty much the bottom line...
The ifixit.com website has excellent guides with images if your looking for one too.

Great, so I have a phone that barely works. Least I got my data off it. Still though, there's got to be a way to fix it. I don't care about the vibration and home button but the wifi and the camera are crucial. I still get cell reception and bluetooth, but why don't I get wifi? Doesn't make any sense. It goes to turn on in the settings and turns off. I swapped over the antenna after using the doner phones one, is that what caused it? Using the older phones one? Or is the wifi section directly on the pcb? Maybe it got pinched somewheres or unplugged? No idea.
Thanks for the help!

Alrighty, good thing I have a home button emulator app and terminal emulator I can add su and reboot recovery. However I'm not sure which modem driver I should use? I have the I535PP, not sure where I'd find the file I need to flash in the samsung recovery. Also I got the phone a while ago, it has android 4.4.2. I did a factory reset when I got it, however I've been using a work around to get around the activation screen. I was told if you act like you're going to use the phone with a different sim they'll activate the phone, should I try that? Or should I try and flash a different software to it? Also I've heard of a thing called knox sensor? Will that go off and brick the phone if I try to flash a different version of w/e to it? Also I should add that the phone was rooted with kingroot.
( I've got a sdcard I'll put it onto, it's a .zip right? There anything else I should know about? )
Also, my basebrand version is: I535PPVRUBNF5
Thanks so much!

I believe that the NF5 is the last one released.
I really can't give you much more information than this. I've never had the Prepaid S3.
If you need the Stock Firmware for the I535PP NF5, i do have it on my File Host Account. I uploaded it for another member a while ago and kept it there.

Okay? So should I make a backup and restore it with that firmware? That's basically the same as doing a factory reset right? Should I try to do a factory reset first? I'm new to all this so what should I use to backup? Just the standard android thing (if there is one). Restoring from that backup wont bring my issues back will it? Or is the whole firmware thing just essentially "drivers"? and doesn't reset the phone? I'm confused.
Also could I get the link to said firmware? Again, thanks so much!
I also found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-tw-4-4-2-i535ppvrubnf5-deodexed-t3427237
Seems to be a modified version of the OS/firmware. Idk if it'll work for my phone though. I need a modified loader or something? Any suggestions?

First of all, here's the link for the stock Firmware (it's zipped up so all you need to do is unzip it).
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120750115
That other link is a modified stock Firmware. It's basically the stock Firmware that's debloated and other modifications that's outlined by the developer.
Since the device cannot be unlocked for a custom firmware, that is basically the stock Firmware that's modified and only has what's needed for the devices recovery to think it's the real deal.
I have an S4 that can't be unlocked but, it's got the stang5litre firmware that's modified the same way.
I hope i explained it okay via text...

Well with you saying it's not unlocked, when I first boot the phone it says custom with an unlock padlock? Is that what you mean? So am I set to try and flash that de-bloated version and try it out? It says there that I need safestrap. No idea what that is but I looked into it some, should I try and use it to flash that version or use the standard samsung recovery? Or will it not work that way, probably not.
Also the link you sent me I got a "504 Gateway Time-out"
EDIT: I rooted it with kingroot and I'm fairly certain that it made the custom bit appear. Did it disable the knox sensor or something, and make it to where I can flash custom roms or w/e?
EDIT2: The site was temp down, got it now.
Alright, I downloaded the file you sent me. Going to copy it to my sdcard. Is there something specific I should name the file? Also I want to extract it so it's .MD5 not .zip like you said? Also what option do I select in the recovery mode? Apply update from external storage?
Thanks so much!
Well I can't even connect my device to my PC. It wont show up. I had this problem before and I can't remember what I did to fix it... Keeps showing up as a modem. I've installed the correct drivers though. wtf... Then tried samsung keis, didn't work. Tried samsung smart switch which said my device was supported but when I went to connect it, it decided it wasn't..... I'm trying USB driver version 1.5.14.0, but when I connect my device windows update installs more ****. Is that the problem? It keeps installing the wrong driver? Idfk starting to get annoyed now lol, going to take a break from it and see what you say tomorrow.
(it's not the cable either, I'm using the data/charge cable from my logitech g700s)
Thanks again.
Edit: I'm on windows 7 x64, and in the devices menu it's showing as a modem.
I've been looking into it a little more. I found a loader called TWRP. However I can't find the specific I535PP version, again, or is it this one?
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys3verizon.html
So if I installed that, I should be able to install that custom rom? A de-bloated version would be great, it runs a little slow, and gets pretty hot playing games. Plus a little change too, but I still need to backup all my data and some game saves. I just need to be able to access it from my pc >_< I've format'd my pc since I had it working last
Edit: The rom install instructions say to use either safestrap or flashfire. I'm not sure which one to use, or if I should try to use the TWRP. Or if I should try neither of them because I might brick my device? Idk, can't wait to hear from you. Or should I just forget about all this and try and flash the original firmware you sent me?
Edit2: I also made a thread here asking the same questions.
Thanks!
Unfortunately I still can't get it to connect to my pc. There's a bunch of other threads I've looked at but trying different things haven't made it work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
wtf, even booting into download mode does nothing when plugging it to my pc. I have no idea what's up with this phone... It says the following up at the top left:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535PP
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
It's also stuck in download mode now, and just says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" Wtf is it downloading???
It's great that I have an overcomplicated flash light essentially, or if I restart the device possibly a paper-weight. I'll give it a little longer and see if it'll shut off by the button, if not I'll pull the battery.
Edit: It was fine, but still an overcomplicated flashlight. I guess you normally get out of DL mode by holding home which doesn't work for me, but removing the battery was fine.
Another unfortunate thing is that I can't enable mtp mode because of the weird way I have to get into the phone. My notification bar doesn't exist at the top, when I was first using the phone it would randomly pop up and work out of the blue, but if I restarted the phone or hit the home button it would send me back the activation screen, therefore having me to go into settings and enable standard home screen mode and a couple seconds later it pops to the home screen or lock screen if I don't type my code.
Any idea what the number is I have to dial specifically for the I535PP? By VZW? I've tried them all
Hope you haven't forgotten about me @Ibuprophen xD Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you!
Also I just found this video
https://youtu.be/9LLOmoE-tp0
So from what this vid says do I just click AP on odin while my phones in download mode, click the file you sent me and let it go? I don't think the same would apply to the other flash install, as it isn't compiled into a .md5 format.
But again I still haven't been able to back some files up off my phone. Only if my pc had bluetooth, because that surprisingly works on the phone. Might just get a usb bluetooth adapter if I have to... So annoying, idk what I did last time to fix it...
I really do apologize @Sokoloft for not responding to you lately...
I've just been getting a bit swamped with various items regarding my current developments, unreleased developments, various other XDA responsibilities and my personal responsibilities at home.
After a quick review of your posts here, i am not sure exactly where you are at now and even what your trying to do now exactly.
I did notice a question or two on other posts and, though their not bad questions in itself but, they are actually reflecting (to myself and others) that your not really reading the OP's nor are even searching the threads themselves for previously answered questions from other members that match/are similar to your question.
I'm not trying to nor is it my place to lecture any member but, I'm just providing you with a reflection of what I, personally, am viewing/understanding.
I just want to quickly add that if you're that lost in what you're doing, i can only recommend/suggest (in a friendly way) to do your homework by looking into and understanding what you want to do, is it possible to do and how those actions affect your device.
With that stated...
I just want to remind you of 2 things that I've stated on a previous post(s).
1) I don't have/never had the Prepaid S3.
2) There's no way to unlock the bootloader of your specific prepaid device.
The post regarding that customized version of the stock ROM is a good alternative as well as (i think it's available for the S3 Prepaid) the stang5litre that's also a customized version of the stock ROM.
If you can respond to my other questions (above), I'll try to provide you with some help the best way i can.
Thank you very much for your time, patience and understanding with this!

Okay, so where I am at is that I cannot connect the phone to my pc. It registers itself as a modem still no matter what driver I've tried. I can't transfer files from it that I need, plus I can't get that md5 file on the sdcard if that's what I have to do to flash the file you sent me. Or do I have to use ODIN? Regardless I'm not even sure if ODIN recognizes the device. At one point when I had tried samsung keis it almost established connection with the software, but nothing in windows explorer.
I'll get back to you more on this later tonight.
Thanks again.
EDIT: I had this problem when I initially got the damn phone, and I can't remember wtf I did to fix it. This is immensely frustrating...
EDIT2: I also need the number to dial for VZW I535PP to enable MTP mode as I can't get to my notification bar. That might help? Every one that I've tried doesn't go into that menu. Could it be because my phone isn't activated?
Essentially @Ibuprophen once I can connect to the device I'm going to back some game data up and some photo's and then flash the file you sent to me. Do I use ODIN to do that or put it on my sdcard and use the standard recovery? Or can I not because I have a locked boot-loader? Or can I because it's modified to look like the original? I'm confused...
Currently contacted samsung support, I'll see what they say about it not connecting. This is crazy though, it should just plug up and work without all this bs.
Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon.
I haven't forgotten about you @Sokoloft...
I plan to provide you with a brief tutorial on restoring the Stock Firmware using Odin for your device.
In the meantime, i just uploaded the Stock PIT files for your device. PIT is short for "Partition Information Table" and is used with the firmware file in Odin to tell it how and where to re-partition the internal memory for the factory firmware installation. The PIT file isn't typically needed but, in some cases, it is needed.
The following link is to the PIT files but, be sure to grab the one that matches the amount of internal memory of your device.
The Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 Prepaid devices were released with 16, 32 & 64 GB of internal memory.

I'll be back with some more information for you.

Hello to all the community, I am a little new in these topics but nothing more than guided me by instructions and a little intuition. I have followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
In step 10, I've done everything I asked to format my nexus 6p. What I wanted to do, is that my Nexus 6p install root and TWRP as recovery. The problem is that, when trying to update my system to a new android version (from system configuration and update), the update was downloaded and the phone restarted, but when it restarted it sent me to the TWRP recovery and it did not let me install it, so I decided to find how to delete the TWRP recovery and format the phone to remove the root and I ran into that guide that I put above.
So, I followed all the steps in step 10 except the part where it says "block bootloader", so I have the bootloader still unlocked (thank goodness), install the angler 7.1.2 and restart the device but now I'm stuck in the boot animation (where there are circling circles and random things).
I ask for your help, which is the most expert topic I know about this. This was the topic I found to ask for help, if it is not the right topic I ask you please move it.
Thank you!

Thanks for your answer. I already solved it, at the end of the guide I did not follow a step and that's why I could not start android. So before finishing everything, install TWRP recovery and opened it to clear cache / dalvink and it worked normally. The strange thing was that I installed version 7.1.2 in image but I get 8.0.0 in android. Well at least it works. Thank you as well!
I am trying to root my new Huawei GR5(KII-L05), but both TWRP and Clockwork apparently don't have a custom rom for this model? Does anyone know how to root this model, or how to request a custom rom?
Thanks!
:good:

Hey thanks for the reply. I was able to root it manually, but bizarrely, even after attempting to flash the recovery, it wouldn't "stick", but if I use adb to load TWRP through my computer on an individual basis , it runs just fine, if not somewhat inconveniently.
Now I'm onto the next problem wherein I'm trying to install xposed on my Android 6.1 and I've got the right architecture version and the framework installer, but it just keeps bootlooping. It actually happened already once, when I had gotten the phone almost all set up and didn't think to make a backup. now I have a backup so I'm good for that, but does anyone know how to install xposed on this system and prevent bootlooping? I've become so used to my xposed tweaks that it's a sad thought to have to make do without them
Edit:
Well nevermind, it just took about half an hour to boot up for some reason. :/ I hope it doesn't do that every time.
Okay, do you know why flashing the rom doesn't work and I have to do it on an individual basis every time?
Thanks!
