I flash TWRP using goo manager a few days ago. TWRP starts in blue splash screen and nothing happens. I have to reboot and retry a few times for it to eventually get into the menu / options.
Why don't you try CWM

With these two Rom managers you will be able to install cwm

Twrp sometimes takes a few minutes to boot for me. Sometimes taking out the SD card seems to speed it up. But yeah drives me nuts.

2.6.0.0 and 2.6.1.0 seem to both do that for many folks.
People seem to have the best luck with 2.5.0.2. Here's a flashable zip of that version:

Never had TWRP just not start at all. 2.6.0 was slow to load, as noted above, but did load every time. I'm running the latest now, 2.6.3, and it seems to load quicker.
I was able to use it for a few days with the power and volume up key no problem. Then when I tried to go into the recovery it would not load several times and I thought I have no recovery. Then I went into the program goo manager and was able to easily launch the recovery from there. Hope that helps someone get back into a working recovery.

hello XDA,
I recently purchased a nexus 4 from someone on craigslist. the phone came with something called sabermod and ive never used it before. i have tried flashing the factory image with the nexus 4 toolkit and using command prompt and the sabermod still persist. I need some help returning the phone to stock. Sabermod also doesnt give me the play store in the app drawer.
Thank you guys in advanced
OK sounds like the person never flashed the gapps. Download these http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=gapps
Reboot into your custom recovery and flash them. Reboot and play store should be there.
Try SaberMod it's a good ROM.

Yes if you want to you can also download the latest SaberMod update and flash that first then flash the gapps. Or just the gapps if you want.

If you want to remove SaberMod, you can flash a ROM over it. Check out the sticky. It's extremely helpful. As you will see at the top of that thread, and in every thread that contains flashable zips, no-one is responsible for damage done to your device via flashing except for you. Nothing bad should happen if you follow that thread to the T. If nothing else, just read it, it will give you all sorts of information about the process.

is the google stock image considered a rom? if so i have tried that X_X
This is a stock flashable image https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B76WZ1xWiSuNWW1vNFdTVUtjaTQ/preview?pli=1
This is a stock ODEXED flashable rooted image.
Please read up on flashing. You need to do full wipe so take your time and learn along the way.:thumbup:

so i flashed my gs4 with the google version rom, it boot up fine, but then i turned off my phone and it will not boot anymore. i have to do a full factory wiped all the time to get it to boot...
So you flashed the rom, patched it, booted up, used it for awhile. Then turned it off and when you turned it back on it wouldn't boot without a factory reset? Weird. I'd try to reflash it doing all the wipes first and see if that works.

Yep, just downloaded version 1.3 of the rom, doing the same...just frozen at the samsung (unlock icon) screen that show up before the google boot up screen...
so just to make sure i am doing this correct:
i reboot to the TWRP recovery page, then do a full wipe, then install the rom.zizp, then install the loki.zip, then reboot system...right?

Did you make a nandroid before flashing and can you get back to where you were? There's another guy who's having problems with v1.3. He didn't Loki and now he can't get into recovery. I wonder if there something with the Rom. Don't think so but who knows

Well, give it another try. Re download the rom and Loki. When you download them look for a long alpha-numerical number that's on the download site. That's the md5. After you download the file you can check the file properties to see if the md5 is the same as what it said on the download site. You'll probably need a md5 checksum app if you don't already have one. If the md5's check out you know you got a good download. It's not uncommon that the download isn't good. If you use root explorer or a similar file manager on you phone, long pressing the file will let you check the files properties and you'll see the md5

what model number are you? what wipe functions are you currently performing?
if i was doing this atm, i would wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. flash rom and ktoonsez loki'd TouchWiz kernel if you're at&t. wipe data, cache and dalvik again. reboot. let the device sit a few minutes and reboot it to see if it successfully boots in.
Google Play Edition Stuck on Reboot
If you are stuck on the boot screen after flashing the ROM and rebooting, go into the recovery and wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache partition 5 times then reboot. Every reboot after this should be fine.

I flashed the cwm before I got root, is this why I was having issues with my phones functionality? It stopped acting out when I flashed the penguin .exe
Or are these xposed links to apps that fix that erratic behavior from our SGL?
And do I need install these xposed if my phone seems to be working better than ever?

odin flashed gardaltetmo_cwm.tar.md5 then my phone was acting funny, slow and apps would seen to just forget they were running. I was so tired I flashed cwm before I had root. I thought at the time that it was the cwm causing the issue.
So I got on my pc and read more off the thread and eventually came across an app that looked allot like odin. Shabbypenguin or something. After flashing root my phone was even more responsive than the day I bought it.
Still don't know what those Xposed links are for...

The Xposed links are so you can install the Xposed Framework and any modules for it. The RootCloak module lets you hide root from apps. Isis, for example. I haven't found any other fully functional/useful modules yet. Wanam Xposed and Advanced Power Menu looked promising, but don't work perfectly with Touchwiz roms.
As far as freezing/random app crashes, I have not had any issues. I'm using the "Stock" kernel that shabbypenguin first posted, I think his One Click exe may use a different one. Still have the stock recovery, waiting for an Online Nandroid Backup patch before changing to CWM. I also use ES Task manager's Kill All widget after every reboot and clear cache data frequently.
I wish I had the experience. Probably would've kept stock recovery myself. But I was impatient. Without nandroid i really shouldnt be messing w cwm.

You can adb push the stock recovery to /mmcblk0p10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2605407&d=1393583876, extract , get the recovery.img file inside the extracted folder
Do a full backup from CWM recovery first, just in case. Or you could reflash CMW with Odin, in case or failure. I really need to make an Odin flashable zip of the stock recovery.
Shabby did have one, but I dont know if its still available

Does anyone know if the battery for the galaxy light is the same as any other samsung batteries? I wouldn't mind having an inexpensive spare battery.

Standard GS3 batteries fit, "extended capacity" GS3 batteries are too thick
I'm psyched to finally get my Light. It's getting closer, but I think I will try to reflash the stock kernel. I will need to hide root, tho, so I can use Isis...

You will need to verify that the battery is the same size and capacities. As far as I know, most of the phones use unique batteries.

Xposed has a module that can successfully hide root for ISIS and OTA update. When my device was working I verified. I'm currently trying to learn how to build Cyanogenmod 11 for the SGH-T399 since I'm soft bricked / boot looped until an update from T-Mobile surfaces for Kit Kat.

How do I adb push? I've never used/done it. Is there a universal way to push things? What do I need for? I know adb push is important so I may as well know what it's benefits are. And thanks in advance for my recovery back to stock.

adb push lets you send files to your phone from your computer

I learned from watching YouTube vids. It's pretty straightforward. Good luck!
