I rooted a friends phone and installed TWRP recovery for him. He decided that he wanted to take the OTA so I removed TWRP and installed the stock recovery image. After doing this the phone hasn't been able to find the OTA update. I was just wondering if I might not have gotten the stock recovery to install correctly.

That's a bummer. Thanks. I did try to press volume down and power, that is when the little green Android appeared for a second then the phone rebooted normally. Tried with ROM Toolbox Pro also.

Stock ROM with ota would be a good bet, just check thread for bugs or any problems if any

First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card...make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
This alone could have solved your problem, if it did not, than you can follow this guide to try again or get any file you may need from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions

[Q] Might have a brick. Error is "Secure booting unsuccessful!" (VS980)

So I just flashed this ROM in TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533018
And when I rebooted all I get is the LG logo followed by a black screen with the following:
Secure booting unsuccessful!
Cause :
When I plug it into my computer it never gets recognized. It appears to be stuck in a bootloop.
Advice?

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to get to recovery but I found the way using the physical buttons.
But now I've restored my backup and the phone is stuck at the LG logo on boot. Oy.

[Q] Galaxy S5 Stuck in Infinite Recovery Boot Cycle

I have had my S5 for two days now. I haven't done any modifications to it and have kept it completing stock. I was browsing the internet in Chrome when I got a notification saying there was a security breach and that the phone needed to restart in order to undue any changes made. So I pressed the restart button and it started to restart normally until I saw in tiny blue text "RECOVERY BOOTING....", I didn't think much of it until nothing started to happen after a minute. I let it go for another 5 minutes and then 15 minutes. I came back and still it was at the same screen. I decided to turn the device off and on to see if that would do anything, nothing happened. I took the battery out and waited a few minutes to put it back in, again nothing new. I was looking into other threads about this happening to other phones because the S5 is so new there is nothing on it doing this. But I found no useful information. So my question is, how can I fix this? I don't mind having to reset it, there's only a few apps installed. I'm tech savvy, so I'll now what you mean if you give me any tips. Thank you!
If doesn't matter if you lost the installed apps, then boot to recovery and choose wipe data reset factory and then wipe data cache.then restart your mobile it should solve your problem.

I should have mentioned this in the post but I have tried that, nothing happens. It's already trying to boot into recovery, I wonder if I can get it out of trying to do that.
Try to boot into download mode then restart normally, maybe it gets you out of the recovery booting loop.

I think you should download the stock rom from sammobile or samsung-updates.com sites and reinstall it again.

CSE would probably be the way to go. Try doing a normal bootup and connect your phone to your Pc. See if the pc will recognize it and then try to backup your data.
If that fails and the data is important, I would try the Normal method and hope that it will be successful. If not then CSE.

[Q] Been a while, at a complete loss

I gave my X to my son last year and it became extremely slow since then. It was running a version of Liquid Smooth. I was attempting to install CM11 on it following the instructions to the T, and then it became stuck, I'm stuck. I thought it already had CWM installed on it, but when it rebooted to recovery, the factory recovery came up. I formatted the system and the cache and then tried to install TWRP, it failed. I tried 2 different date factory roms and both gave me a sideload error. I even tried to flash 2.3.4.4.5.621.no.radio.sbf.zip but it also gave me a sideload error. I guess my question is where do I go from here? There's nothing on the phone at all, all I can do is boot to recovery. The usb port is dead, we use a wall charger to charge the battery.

usually that means rsd lite and/sbf is buried in too many folders, try placing sbf on desktop
if it ends in .sbf.zip or .sbf it's ok if any thing else needs to be uncompressed manually
and verify md5 checksums
I flashed the 605 sbf and it went through all of it and then at the end it said passed. the screen was blank but the led in the top left corner was green. I unplugged the phone and it went back to bootloader with the blank message. I'm flashing the one you mentioned above right now.
sweet, that one worked. Now to see if I can get the OTA update.

You are just adding extra steps
you're right, I just wanted to install a custom rom. I've managed to get it rooted and cwm installed now, it's just that once I'm in cwm, there's no way to select the command I want. the volume buttons move the selection, but none of the buttons make it respond. it just takes away the text and shows the back ground image.
