I have spent about a day trying to do the following:
Find a Sammy rom I can flash via TWRP
Somehow recover my nandroid backup that's in CWM via TWRP
Go from TWRP back to CWM
Try to flash CWM via Mobile Odin
Basically I have flashed TWRP recovery and am running Cyanogen 10.1. I didn't realize that (or can't figure out how) none of the other roms can be flashed via TWRP. Mobile Odin doesn't recognize my device because it is now 80xx. Any help will be appreciated. I am going crazy!!!!
Flash via Odin .

Hi Guys,
I had CM 10 on my phone and I was able to use CWM successfully. But, then I flashed Pandroid 4+ (CM 11 based) Kitkat 4.4 ROm on my phone.
Now, I am not able to boot into recovery mode. As i try to enter into recovery mode, My phone gets stuck in the boot screen and does not boot up. After so many attempts of pressing power button, it starts. It's so painful.
I want to revert back to CM 10 stable rom, but I can't boot in to recovery mode.
I did some research and found a CWMFixed.zip as a solution. It contains a boot.img file. Please let me know how can i flash this file without entering into CWM.
Or if there is any other solution for this problem then please let me know.
It urgent.
@tysonraylee I hope you can help me in this as you had posted a similar query in other thread.
Thanks in advance.
My friend, If you would have only read the PA thread properly you would know that beta 5 has the bug where it breaks the recovery you would have avoided the problem altogether but anyways i would suggest that you flash an odin format (.tar) kernel using PC Odin which will get you a working recovery and from there it should be pretty easy, if you took a nandroid backup before you will be able to restore your previous rom and if you didnt you have to flash a different rom of your choice
flash this TW PC odin format (.tar) kernel by bauner https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001607164
make sure once you flash this to not let the phone boot into ROM, after flashing successful take off the battery and then insert back and boot into recovery.
Once you have a recovery then you need a SE Linux compatible recovery so for that connect the device to PC and mount the usb storage through recovery then transfer
This Bauner's KK kernel if you require CWM https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001608504
and this GeeckoDev Raw kernel if you require TWRP recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53978758&postcount=583 (download raw_kernel_r6_k44.zip)
once transfered to your device flash the one you require and remember we are flashing these kernel just for temporary use and once a rom is flashed they will get overwritten with the recovery that comes with the rom kernel so you dont have to worry about these kernels
Once flashed remember to reboot to recovery and not system, once the device boots into your desired recovery then either restore your previous rom from backup or falsh a new one
hope this helps and remember next time before flashing a rom read the OP and atleast 4-5 last pages. Believe me this will save you a lot of trouble in your future flashing endeavours
Hello Guys,
Today a friend come to me and gave me his phone to put a custom rom on it.
He said that he unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery and has a twrp backup of the stock rom.
I have done a factory reset and formated system. So I flashed the custom rom but twrp told me that i'm having the wrong device. I wanted to restore the twrp backup but there wasn't a backup. Now I have a non starting phone with no backup. I have tried everything but I didn't start.
PROBLEM SOLVED:
I downloaded a TWRP Backup which was made for my HBOOT version and put it on my usb stick and connected it via usb otg. Restored Backup with TWRP and the thing was done.
Hello everyone. So, let's start by explaining what I have did.
For a while I had the XtreStolite Odex 2.0 edition and I wanted to try out other ROM. I have factory reset-ed when I was installing the ROM using TWRP and I somehow managed to delete all the phone's internal stuff, but I can still boot to TWRP or download mode.
I have tried to flash stock firmware using Odin 3.10.6 ( running as administrator too ) and when it gets to sboot.bin it fails right away. I have tried using Samsung Smart Switch PC Software, tells me my device is unsupported. If I try to manually find my model using the S/N, the software fully downloads then gives me an error.
I have tried to ADB sideload from TWRP Advanced menu, whenever I want to flash for example xtrestolite odex zip ( named rom.zip for short ) it goes "serving:... 21%" and gets stuck. If I try to push a zip it says "error:closed". I am no big expert in ADB, I don't know how to install the latest version, and I can't download the full Android SDK because my internet is very slow. I had Bootloader and Modem 5.1.1
I am looking for a way to move the XtreStolite ROM zip into the phone's memory so I can boot to TWRP and install the ROM. I've seen something with OTG Cable and USB but I have no real knowledge of these. If it comes as a last resort, if someone could briefly explain me how would I manage to repair the phone using the OTG Cable and USB stick.
I also have a Nandroid Backup on my PC but I don't know how to move it to the phone's storage, because it's well, bricked. When I'm trying to copy files over Mount option in TWRP, it says that it cannot copy the file, the device may be disconnected.
I had Bootloader and Modem 5.1.1, also Windows 10. I can go back to 7 or 8.1 anytime it's needed.
Much appreciations.
EDIT: I actually repaired it by flashing a stock firmware downloaded from xda ( God bless you whoever linked the mega.co.nz stock fw link ) . Thread can be deleted.
You can also flash these via odin.

Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

Thank you for the effort you put into typing up a guide to help me, but I ended up fixing my own problem.
I was able to use fastboot to flash on a better TWRP release, and then get the rom to install properly by installing fcrypt-disabler just after it.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.
