Before I flashed TWRP I used PhilzTouch on my I9195.

No problems.

Switching off or rebooting took about 1 second and reboot in recovery worked always good and flashing zips was never a problem.

For a try I flashed TWRP from recovery.

After that my phone couldn't reboot in recovery (showing that the phone was looking for recovery, didn't find and then restarted).

Normal reboot worked good and the rest of the phone worked fine.

Except ...

... from now on switch off or rebooting takes about 9(!) seconds.

It seems the phone is searching for something it can't find.

Because of these failures I flashed again with Odin.

After that my phone was sometimes able to restart in recovery (but most of the times not).

Switch off / reboot still took about 9 seconds.

I went back to PhilzTouch (flashed with Odin).

Reboot into recovery works now most of the times but not always.

Switch off / reboot still takes about 9 seconds.

It seems the phone is searching for something it can't find.

What went wrong?

And more important for me: how can this be repaired?

Do I have to delete some files/folders from system or somewhere else?

Please help!

Ne0zone75 answered with this:

My TWRP builds (all devices : S4 mini and Transformer series) do consist in flashing an imaged /recovery partition that i build along with CyanogenMod's sources tree... that's it !

Now, it is far beyond my knowledge to explain to you why flashing any of my TWRP build by using Philz recovery can cause issues but it is a fact !

In my opinion only Odin is suitable for switching from a recovery like regular CWM / Philz one to any TWRP build, that is why i am offering 7zipped .tar.md5 among other things...

Flashable .zip files are handy BUT from my point of view they should be used ONLY for updating... not for switching...

Anyway, what ROM are you using please... (cannot see your signature right now) ? Stock or AOSP based ? (in order to wipe your device extensively after having NANDROID backed up what needs to; when done you will be able to start from scratch and restore what you just backed up from recovery... that is just what i would do in your case...)

Finally, i would really like to know what is [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] opinion about all of this...

My question on that:

Do I understand well that the delay in switching off / rebooting will disappear when I do a clean install of the rom?

Answer from Ne0zone75:

Yes ! But what i do know is how to manage this thing properly, maybe a true clean install will be sufficient or maybe additional steps to it will be mandatory...

Anyway, you should ask for assistance into 'Carbon ROM' thread because [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] is really more experienced than me

My question in this thread:

[MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION]

What is your opinion to this problem?

Many thanks in advance for your answer.

Or that of someone else.
