I'm stuck in a bootloop after unlocking my bootloader and installing and opening TWRP right away instead of factory resetting and restarting first. TWRP asks me for password and fails on all attempted actions, including factory reset. I saw in a video I should be able to boot if I factory reset via the stock recovery, but without the Factory Images yet I don't have the stock recovery. Does anyone have it/do I have any other options?
Thanks
Edit: Nevermind, saw is the HardBricked/Recovery thead, to fix: open TWRP, Format Data first, then Factory Reset, finally reboot.
My Developer edition Note 4 starting boot looping. I used Odin to reinstall a stock recovery tar and ended up with N910vvru1anj5 baseband version with no root nor TWRP. I finally got odin to work to install twrp 2.8.5. However whenever I try to boot into recovery I get the Samsung recovery and not the TWRP recovery. The Samsung recovery shows to apply update when it comes up. Superuser does not work and I do not have root.
I have a twrp backup on my sd card and the Samsung recovery sees it but I assume that it will not install it properly.
Why is TWRP not working and how do I get back to root. Is there a problem with the rom I have installed?
When I go into download mode it still shows deveoper edition.
Thanks
I did install the 1st update for LP by mistake but was not able to install TWRP prior to the install nor did I have root.
Does it still show Mode: Developer in Download after you did the update? If it does it should still be a DE. Did you back up the aboot partition? Here is where you need to go to do it. If you have it backed up you can always get back the developer mode.
Maybe if you wipe data then reflash the stock recovery it might work. Go into Settings/ Backup and reset and do a Factory data reset. I've never worked in stock recovery but I think it's possible in there.
If you can get this back you need to do that aboot backup.
Go into stock recovery and factory restore then flash TWRP, you should be good

It still show developer mode. I did backup the aboot. My phone is working ok with current rom but I miss Titanium Backup with unrooted phone.
When there is a new Lollipop Rom for DE I will do a factory reset and see if I can get back to TWRP and root with Lollipop. I hate having to restore all my apps and settings after a factory reset.
I don't have root just TWRP and I need to factory reset is it safe, will it remove TWRP???
no, just boot into TWRP and make factory reset
I'm having real issues with my Taiman. I was running stock/flash kernel and so I factory reset, flashed ABCrom and twrp, rebooted recovery, flashed disable-varity, then booted to system. Except it never got to system, instead going straight back to recovery. I tried again with the same results. I then restored by twrp backup and now it boots straight into bootloader. I can get it to boot to recovery, but it's like there's no system. Any ideas?

Dirty fastboot the factory image to both slots and you should be back up and running. This will not wipe data as well if you do it with the -w flag removed :good:

What needs to be done to flash it to both slots? Does flash-all.bat hit both?

After you flash to whatever slot your currently on, then go back to fastboot/bootloader mode and run....fastboot --set-active=a or b.....that'll switch you to the other slot, then flash-all.bat again :good:

Thank you very much. Now, is it possible to restore Data from the nandroid after this?
Update: went ahead and restored Data and it has worked.

Where did you find a copy of OrangeFox recovery for our pixel 2xl?

Hey
I just used the factory reset from the android backup and reset option to reset my moto m. But there seems to be a problem.
It automatically restarted into TWRP, so I did a factory reset from there from the wipe section. But after all this, I cannot boot into the OS. I have stuck in the twrp loop.
What I have understood is that the OS is looking for a return code from the recovery after which it can boot up but the custom recovery is not able to return that code which could earlier be returned by stock recovery.
And the phone does not even power off now!
Please help me
Thanks in advanced.
