Can't flash ROM in TWPR or CWM - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Well, I came to you because actually I'm out of idea.
I was since 3 years on custom ROM (CM and Lineage OS) and due to substratum, I had a bootloop.
My problem is quite particular, after a total clean of my device and flashing the stock ROM, custom recovery cause me some trouble.
Whatever I try (CWM touch 6 or TWPR 3.1.1), I can't flash custom ROM (Lineage OS 14.1), TWPR or CWM crash 1 second after the flash command and reboot, with disable touchscreen and even by using old navigation way and try again, same problem.
Tried also to disable file signature check but no effect.
Quick summary about what I did:
- Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)
- ROM stock used: I9505XXUHOJ2 ( the build which is based on the CF-Root file i used)
- Tried to install CWM by ROM Manager and ODIN (v3.09)
- TWPR installed by TWPR App using file in .img and not the second option (tar.img) for LTE Internationnal Qualcomm.
-Checked the root before last attemptwith root checker and it was ok.
In advance thanks for your help and I really hope it's not too serious.
By the way, sorry for my english, it's not my native language

I don't have this variant but, this looks like it may be a recovery issue so your best bet is to post this question within the following Official TWRP thread for your device.

If it's a LineageOS issue, then your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for your device.

If all else fails, you can try posting your question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Thanks for advice
I will post in the S4 forum section hoping someone already know a fix or a way to dodge this problem.
But I have small questions before:
I saw some threads about CWM and TWPR recovery "for" I9505, is there a huge difference between them and their basic version ?
And finally, I saw some threads on TWPR 3.+ issue for some devices.
An installation of an older version of TWPR or CWM could be a good way to explore the problem source ? (the stock ROM I use even after updates is quite old in terms of Android versions and patch)
Have a good day

Recovery mode unable to unpack custon ROM .zip files

hello,
i have been unable to install custom ROMs on my galaxy s2, various forums indicate the installation took place but in my own case the installation process stops when ever the kernel is trying to unpack the .zip file in order to commence installation. i have followed the step by step procedures of the devs but still havent been able to. especially resurrection and batista. are there any prerequisites i need to follow. i am currently using a rooted SGS2, kernel cf-root 5.2, stockROM XXLPH 4.0.3. thnks much.
i am not an expert when it comes to resurrection or batista, but i believe that some newer roms need at least the cwm recovery that comes with cf-root 5.4 or above, so maybe you should flash a newer stock rom with a corresponding newer cf-root to begin flashing.
or, if you want, you could flash the latest siyah kernel through odin, which is compatible with both stock and aosp/aokp roms and have a nice new touch recovery that is certainly able to flash all roms as well.
also, a problem is also a question and this thread belongs in the q&a section. reported. this time someone will move it for you, in the future, please post in the correct section in the first place, for reference have a look at the thread Questions belong in Q&A.
thank you for the response. kindly advice on what stable stock roms i could try. cus i believe i have also tried with a 5.3 but still same.
just also tried the F1 nexus rom still same. maybe i need to take the S2 back to factory, like repartitioning and all, pls what do you advice cus i think something behind has been messed up.
i also noticed something, when i flash with a stock ROM, the fone reboots into the android sytem recovery and i get an error "dst read(I/0 error)". please what does this mean.
please can someone help , i can only flash ROM's through ODIN, but cannot install zip files through recovery. recovery never unpacks the files and all ROM's come as zip files. please help

[Q] Huawei ascend y300 cyanogenmod

Hi!
I was rooting my phone and flashing recovery by tutorial on thumblr with bootloader unlock code from huawei.
I had flashed TWRP because I did all the same as in this tutorial. Today I want to flash on my phone cyanogenmod rom from modaco for example (write "huawei ascend y300 cyanogen mod" in google ).
But if I'm flashing it by TWRP it isn't working (when I'm flashing it there is an error). I have read that I must have CWM to do it, but now is the problem - how can I remove TWRP and install CWM? (Rom manager method isn't working, and when I flash CWM by TWRP it isn't working too). And when I flash CWM with unlock tools from thumblr recovery isn't working.
What can I do?
Sorry for my bad English And sorry for post without links to pages I was writing about but "clever XDA" blocked links for new users :/
If you flashed TWRP Thru Fastboot just flash A CWM image as you would flash A TWRP image

Hi...could you help me too??
rootet my y100-0100...so i´m looking for a good costum rom but dont know how to flash it
greetz Marc
I have a y300. Can someone help me step by step how to update with cyanogenmod plz
Greetings,
I'm sorry if I'm posting this on a wrong place but I couldn't find a topic describing my problem.
I have Huawei Y300 for a few months now, and recently I installed Cyanogenmod 11 (Kitkat) on it (Root + Clockworkmod Recovery + KitKat + GAPPS).
The look of this ROM is fantastic (compared to the stock) but the performance is terrible (lag, restarts, app crashes...).
Now I would like to downgrade to Cyanogenmod 10.2 or 10.1, hopefully to get more stable and overall better performance.
Here is my procedure:
- I downloaded cyanogenmod 10.1 with gapps and placed it on my SD card.
- Entering the recovery I did a complete wipe/factory reset, formated data, system, cache, dalvik, everything!!
- Finally, I tried to flash new 10.1 but without success. As soon as I "click" on the file I want to flash, several lines of code appear and everything stops returning me to the recovery menu (later today I will upload a screenshot).
I've read on some forums that the "old" kernel install is necessary before trying to downgrade KitKat.
If anyone has the advice/sollution for me, I would appreciate it!

Few questions about changing roms [S6] Please Help

Hi,
Details about phone: Samsung S6 (G920I) I can't remember the exact ROM im on (yes im a noob). However my build number is LMY47X, which when searched by most views comes up with this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-w/development/rom-aosp-alpha-1-t3107740) Android version 5.1.1 I have TWRP v. 3.0.2-1 as my custom recovery.
So my phone keeps restarting randomly been getting worse over the past few weeks. So I want to try a new ROM (had my current one for like 8 months). So I made a ROM back up just in case through TWRP and backed up all my user data through Titanium and exported both of it onto my PC.
I found a ROM I want to use "XtreStoLite" ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423) but I have a few questions before I try to install it.
First of will this work fine for the current setup I have?
Since I'm on 5.1.1 and they have a ROM version for 6.0.1 will I be able to install this version or do I have to use the 5.1.1 version? I've tried updating to 6.0.1 on my current ROM but my provider won't let me update OTA. Only way is to remove root and return it back to the stock ROM which I don't really want to do if I can avoid it.
Please help, any information will be greatly appreciated, feel free to ask any questions.

This ROM will work for your device. Based on what I read in the OP's post on how to install this ROM there are two prerequisites. You will need to use Odin to flash a Marshmallow bootloader and a Marshmallow modem for this ROM to work. This is an excerpt from the ROM's OP:
How-to Install:
Install Marshmallow bootloader & modem and install custom recovery:
- Install the correct MM bootloader & modem for your model with Odin (see post #5 of this thread)
- Make sure that you have an working TWRP custom recovery installed.
If you follow the OP's instructions you should not have any problems. Make sure you read, read and read. The OP has given an excellent guide. Post #5 in this thread has the download links for the Marshmallow bootloader and modem and instructions on what slot to put the files in using Odin. Good luck and happy flashing.
Also, if you wanted to stick with a Lollipop ROM the OP still has links to his Lollipop ROM's available.

Latest available recovery plus minor questions

Hello guys! Lets test if anybody still here...)
What is latest fully functional TWRP recovery for Lollipop 5.1.1 stock firmware, where to get it and in what partition do I need to flash it?
Does installing some zips or firmwares on different roms needs supported recovery version? If so, please tell what ROMs need what recovery versions.
I've seen even TWRP 3.1.1 build but have concerns in its functionality and stability. Is it working normal?
Last, wanted to say thanks for all developers that made us using such a great device for so long period of time.
Hope people are still subscribed to this forums.
That TWRP 3.1.1 was never fixed as you can read in the thread.
First flash latest .236 stock rom with flashtool if you have not done this before.
And then you flash this recovery in fastboot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...ent/twrp-recovery-2-8-7-0-2016-02-03-t3307043
You never need to touch the recovery again once you flashed this recovery all roms from kitkat and up works with this one.
