Hi bud, you are no stranger to flashing !!! Don't know if I can help. Sounds like something isn't sticking on the flash back to stock. This could be if you have an ext sd card or maybe the internal sd card, sometimes the settings that are stored on one of cards keeps getting pushed back on the device. Hence, something was lost when you went back to stock. It's just theory.

Here is what I would try. If you have a ext sd card, and you don't want to erase it, just remove it from the device. Now you know the routine flash a clean fresh copy of NC5 with odin. Or go to micmars post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 and get a copy of NH7 or you can go to Sammoblie here is the link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=35283 and get the NH7, XAS, CSC copy which eliminates the yellow Sprint logo. ( I run 4.4.2 NC5 XAS stock, rooted, and Philz CWM v16.12.9 )

After you get the stock rom flashed, boot up let it settle down, and do a factory reset. Now try and odin a new recovery. May I suggest Philz CWM hltespr v 6.12.9 I know it's not the latest, but it's the most stable recovery I have used. Trust me I beat that recovery to death every day.

If you get back into recovery great !!! Now get a root file manager like root explorer and delete your delvik cache. Completely power down the device install the sd card and boot it up. Hopefully it will rebuild the delvike cache on the device and sd card on boot up. I run a 32gb class 10

sd card and every once in awhile I format/erase it just for sport. Let me know how it goes ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goat1378:
I'm gonna try your suggestions and keep my fingers crossed. But it will be a few hours I'm at work . I will definitely keep you updated on the progress. Thanks for the tips!!! I've never ran into this problem. It F#@&*.n freaking me out!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
I feel your pain the same thing happened me I went back to stock unrooted and took the OTA update to 4.4.4 NH7 did not see anything worth having and my radio signal was less than NC5, other people are complaining that reception on the new Baseband on NH7 sucks. So I did a factory reset figuring it would me back to NC5. Nope stayed at 4.4.4, so I tried to odin flash a fresh copy of NC5, and the device boop looped. ( soft brick ). Check out this link http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/help/4-4-4-download-mode-t2877528 to see what a couple us did to get our phones back from the brink !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goat1378:
Mind me asking what you used to go back with?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
If your asking was there a magic pill that got me back to stock, sorry no. On your device, you lost the ability to use your recovery. In my case it boot looped which has happened to several people, another guy said he kept losing his network connection. But in all the cases it occurred getting back, or trying to get back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4.

Once I got the phone to boot up again, used odin v 1.85 to flash a copy of NC5 that was downloaded from Sammobile it's a XAS copy so I don't have the Sprint logo. I rooted with SuperSu v 1.94 and used Philz CWM v 6.12.9 hltespr.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

One more thing, can you boot into the stock recovery ? If so, try and do a factory reset from there. Remove ext sd card and try to odin a custom recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goat1378:
UPDATE!!!

The guy over top me saved my a$$!!!!! Yeah that guy! Followed your instructions while removing sd card.. i downloaded the Nc5 full restore one click popped that in the old Odin v3.04. Did the restore,booted into stock recovery and did a full wipe x3,battery pulled, booted back DL mode flashed full restore again then booted into system just to see if everything was good back into DL mode chainfire root,back to system,back to Odin Flashed philz 6.12.9 ,battery pulled for 20sec. popped her back in and did the old 3 button combo into recovery and restored my previous backup.THANK YOU SIR! You are a life saver. I did however lose my TB backups but....WHO CARES! My whole set up is back on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Awesome !!! First my bad, should have told you to back up your data to a PC. This is just a theory, but here goes. Did you have Philz latest 6.48.7 one size fits all hlte ? For some reason when you switched from the hlte recovery to the hltespr recovery, things started working again. Now I cannot speak from experience because I have always used that recovery. However, check this thread out post #7 http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/help/using-pac-cm-slim-loose-connection-t2883855 he had the same basic problem.

Did you see where Philz no longer updating his thread !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goat1378:
No I used the 6.12.8 or whatever it was and yes I did see that philz is a dead project which is unfortunate cuz its a very reliable recovery. Apparently has got other ongoing projects and sounds to me like he was tired of people posting bash posts about his product not working properly (just a guess) but guarantee atleast 90 percent of those post was cus of user error not his recovery and now we all suffer. Not cool!!! I do hope his recovery holds for future updates and development . Like my mishap…No boot to recovery was all caused by user error cuz I got lazy not cuz I didnt know better and when $#!+ got bad I didn't come on and bash anyones work. . I'm just glad someone such as yourself hit it from a different point of view and saves my @$$ when I couldn't think clearly. Lesson learned. And Thank you again!!! Hope I can lead a hand someday. :)

hello,

I buyed a moto g, it's my first smarthphone... it's a XT1069 Dual Sim

I followed this tuturial http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/development/guide-root-moto-g-2nd-gen-2014-t2874245 ,

I get to unlock the bootloader, but when I get to this point

4. Flash Recovery through fastboot mode/bootloader mode

and Go into your adb+fastboot folder and Type in CMD prompt

Command :

Code: fastboot flash recovery TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img

can't get the moto g in flash recovery mode, it appear a dead android with a RED ! TRIANGLE...

any idea to resolve this...
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafaelbrunner:
There's no need to make multiple topics, my friend...

Remember that the TWRP IMG file must be in the same folder as your Fastboot files.

So, you can copy TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img file to the directory where your Fastboot is.

Or, you can type the directories correctly. For example, if your TWRP2.8.0.1 IMG file is located on your Desktop:

So, your command should be: fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\"username"\Desktop\TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img

Instead of typing, you can also drag-and-drop the TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img file into the CMD window.

Got it?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RastaFATian:
I'm sorry about multiple topics... my bad.... but you can erase the other in general topic....

but to flash i need to be in recovery mode at boolloader, no?

i can do this command in bootloader menu?

can't get the moto g in flash recovery mode, it appear a dead android with a RED ! TRIANGLE...

any idea to resolve this...
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratyfu:
Fastboot and recovery are two different things. If you can get to Fastboot (bootloader) mode you should be able to flash recovery from there as stated by rafaelbrunner.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magmatik:
Hi Guys !

I'm facing a problem on rooting my Moto G 2014.

I've easily unlocked the bootloader but i can't flash the TWRP recovery.

I've read everything I could read about the process and I think I'm doing it the right way (the recovery file in the adb folder, etc...) and everything seems to be ok.

I've just a purple line at the end of the TWRP flashing procedure saying:

Mismatched partition size (recovery)

This post says that it's not really a problem: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48294073&postcount=6

Then, when I reboot the recovery, the phone reboots and the system starts normally (instead of restarting with the custom recovery ?). When I switch it off and switch it on in recovery mode, I still have the stock recovery.

Tried several times with TWRP 2.8.0.1

I can't say if it's because of a problem with TWRP (it's said here that it is buggy) or because I'm doing something wrong that I don't succeed.

I saw that there was a 2.7.1.1 release of TWRP for Moto G 2014 but it's no more available anywhere for now. I would have liked to try it...

Do you know if there's some known issues about flashing the Moto G 2014 recovery or can you help in any way ?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magmatik:
Hi guys !

I'm still investigating my problem and still trying to root the phone.

Here is what I get with adb:

The device seems to be seen when it's about writing the file on the storage but it's no more found when it's about rebooting the recovery...

Can someone help ?

Hi !

Thanks for your answer !

What do you mean exactly ? I didin't have any "old Moto usb drivers before". I installed them for the first time few days ago to unlock my bootloader.

Do I still have to uninstall these drivers (that are not that old) and install again the same ones ?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eskamhl:
You can use "adb reboot recovery" only if the phone is turned on in normal android os ( in bootloader mode it'll only recognize fastboot commands ), and you must be sure also to have debug usb option enabled under settings/developer settings.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magmatik:

Hi eskamhl,

I warmly thank you for trying to help me.

I'had enabled usb debbug, no problem about that.

I"m not sure I understand what you mean when you say that the phone has to be " turned on in normal android os". I thought that the device had to started in recovery mode to install TWRP.

I tried to install TWRP with adb reboot recovery and with the phone turned on in normal android os.

adb says <waiting for device> when i paste and execute flash recovery TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eskamhl:
Adb is one thing, fastboot is a different one.

If you give a "fastboot command" from the command prompt the phone must be in bootloader mode, instead if you give an "adb command" you must have the phone normally turned on.

Having said that, I didn't understand what's your problem... are you tryin' to boot into recovery mode or trying to flash twrp recovery?

It seems that you already flashed/installed a custom recovery ( TWRP ) from what you wrote, isn't it?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magmatik:
That's the point, I'm trying to flash a custom recovery (TWRP) in order to be able to flash SU.

I'm sorry about my poor english. I'm french and I confess that I'm absolutely comfortable in english.

For now the only thing I succeeded to do is to unlock the bootloader.

What I understand is that I have now to install TWRP with adb, am I right ?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eskamhl:
No, you're not :p

You already did the installation of the custom recovery since you said that you received this message "Mismatched partition size (recovery)", now from bootloader menu you should boot into recovery ( volume down to scroll thorugh the options and volume up to select ).

If it won't boot maybe you should check the md5 of the downloaded recovery .img, probably it's a corrupted download.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magmatik:
When I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader (what I already did before), the screen turns black, 1 sec later the led switch on for half a sec and nothing else happends.

So, as you say, the recovery I downloaded was maybe corrupted. I'll check.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magmatik:
Guys, I've found the solution !

I think everything was ok from the beginning. The only thing that I did not understand was that I have to press vol- in fastboot to focus on "recovery" and to press vol+ to launch the recovery.

I didn't read it anywhere, i just see this in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr14wNgazOw&hd=1 (see at 7"15).

Anyway, thank you for trying to help me and see you soon for all the good things coming for this phone ! :D

hi! before my tytn i had nokia smartphone and i had program for bluetooth remote control. (control freak) now i have tytn, but i can't find good program. i need program, that controls winamp quickly and smooth. there are many winamp plugins, but they are very, very buggy and connects 1 per million. :( my old control freak connects for 2 seconds, the connection in strong and it had desktop control (the desktop screen appeared on my nokia)

so please i need such a program for partys and for comfort.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Puppetmaster allowed one to control different programs (WinAmp, Zoom Player, Media Player, Powerpoint, Acrobat, ...) and allowed one to add scripts to get support for other non-natively supported softwares.

I'm currently actually still using my old Nokia as a remote (I kept it as a backup device)... :D

Jaylee1024,

Up till now, I haven't been able to test your software, as I'm using a Widcomm stack on my PC's... :(

I'm about to reinstall my system, and before installing Widcomm, I'll give your software a test (given the bluetooth features I use, the MS stack may suffice for me).

But I have found a software (Altiris SVS) that might be used to allow switching between both bluetooth stacks, so I'll also see if/how that goes...

I second this. I've used it on my 7610, 6682 and now my 8525. It's fantastic. Plus you can control with either bluetooth or wifi
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Apparently, that utility can't really be used to swap bluetooth stacks. But I now have the weird situation where both WidComm and MS Bluetooth stack are active at the same time :confused:. I'm not sure what this is doing to the stability of my system though :rolleyes:, or if both effectively work, so I'll need to test some things first.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beezie42:
Have you tried installing a different rom and or a stock rom to see if the problem persists?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ice711:
I flashed just about every rom under the original android development section, all still with the same camera error. After no luck i decided to odin back to stock, an the camera now works. I've searched high an low an tried all the cm/aosp camera fix's i could find an no luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beezie42:
Interesting. Very weird it works on stock but not on aosp. Now that you have odined back to stock have you tried to re flash a aosp rom and check the camera? What stock rom are you odin-ing?

Are you also flashing any other mods or custom kernels?

I would try cm11 with just gapps installed and see what happens.

I doubt it's a hardware issue if it works on stock. Do you use any third party camera apps?

Sorry for lots of questions just trying to narrow down the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ice711:
No noo bye all means ask away. I odin to the stock 4.4.2 ND8 tar. After i flashed each rom an gapps an the phone booted up i skipped the normal setup, gmail an such, an tried the camera an it was a no go. So no im not usein any third party cameras. The only rom i didnt flash was the cm11. I came from a nexus 4 an loved the liquidsmooth roms so that was my first choice. I have not re rooted an flashed a recovery as i was pretty madd it didnt work the first time around. I really appreciate ur help. Im open for suggestions :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well if you want to have custom stuff just flash Wicked X 8.0 rom just the Bare Bones version....its pretty sweet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ice711:
Ill be sure an try it out. One question for ya.. can u tell me the best method of rooting the S3? I used the android tool kit.. i was thinkng mayb thats the reason for the camera issue. I was considering useing towelroot then flashing TWRP recovery then flashing a rom.. ur opinion?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well there's the TowelRoot option that would require you to download SuperSU and BusyBox from the playstore then there's using Odin to flash any Custom Recover for the D2lte then in that recovery flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip....then the most recommended is using Odin to flash the latest Philz Recovery for the D2lte which has an option to root the current rom that your on, under Philz settings :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ice711:
Ive never used Philz Recovery.. is it the same idea as TWRP an Clockwork recoveries? Thanks for ur help i appreciate it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well it's a touch based Clockwork mod recovery and you can change the colors of all the letters that are visible :) and there's more options in there to do cool stuff and 2 different factory resets
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ice711:
So i tried cm11 an still no go with the camera. I tried TWRP, Clockworkmod, an PhilZ recovery when flashing the rom an still no luck... Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
did you check if the MD5 sum matched? the numbers on the download page and the numbers shown on Philz right before you flash anything...

Ive been flashin roms for about 4years. I love aosp but then i had to try wicked X. Its absolutley amazeing. Ive had no reboots, no freezin, awesome battery life, and best of all... EVERY feature on the rom an of the phone works flawless!!! Try it ull be amazed lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GJOKER:
camera works fine on Wicked x. Don't like the rom though. So I'm switching back to 2.37 LS it worked fine on my previous device
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ice711:
I used LS 3.2 on my previous phone, galaxy nexus 4. For some reason i cant get the camera to work on my s3 on LS
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GJOKER:
Same here, I never ran stock rom on the phone. First thing I did was to root and flash the room.

I'm so use to LS since I ran it pretty much entire time for past 2 years. Very disappointed with camera issues in v3.0. Hope they get it taken care of soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GJOKER:
I took a closer look at Wicked X and it's pretty decent rom. I'm going to give it a try till issues with AOSP roms are fixed
