Hello,
I can't seem to install a single rom to my Tab 3. I have tried, my original backup plus two custom roms, and none of them will seem to install. Once they do install and I reboot the device, it will just reboot straight into my TWRP recovery.
Am I doing something wrong?
Note* I did just come back from a soft brick(if it was one) but my device was doing this before hand as well, and it was "soft bricked" as I was trying to fix it.
Any help would be apreciated.
Regards-
Red

Hello all,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I thought I'd give it a try.
I own a Desire myself and the rooting / flashing a new ROM process was pretty easy so I thought I can help a friend out and put a custom ROM on his new Motorola Defy. Turns out I sucked at it. *ahem*
Right, the problem is as follows:
I got the brand new device, used SuperOneClick to root it, tried ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod CWM and it said Defy isnt supported in ROM Manager. So I google'd and it came up with this [german] (not allowed to post links), which basically gave me CWM.zip with an apk in it, which installed "System Recovery" and gave me the option to "Install System Recovery" and Reboot into Recovery - successfully bootet into CWM 2.5.1.8 , alright.
I did a nandroid backup and then wiped everything, selected the ROM on the sdcard to install MIUI 1.9.9 ROM, which worked fine. After it finished installing, I chose reboot system now.
Now what happens is:
I try to boot normally: I Only get the Motorola logo on screen and nothing ever happens
I boot into recovery like I used to know (Power + VolDown), I get a screen with a yellow exclamation mark and the android robot on it. Figured out that both volume keys take me to Android System Recovery Utility. I wiped everything again, that didn't help. I tried giving it the CWM.zip as an update.zip but it refuses that because it's apparently not properly signed. I can't do anything else in there. It also gives me a couple of errors "E: Can't moint CACHE:recovery/command" (/caller, /log)
Please, can anybody help me out? It seems I can't boot any ROM from it right now, nor do I know how to get CWM back in to at least even restore the nandroid backup (which I still have).
I would love to, at the end of the day, have a rooted device with CWM running and MIUI 1.9.9. If that doesn't work, at least can I restore the CWM backup somehow to have to stock ROM running?
I would really appreciate any help very much and realize I may be in over my head, it just seemed too easy on the Desire I previously used. Thanks a lot!
Hi! I will try my best to make this short.
Used the Cyanogenmod installer to install it on my galaxy note 2. Worked well, but I quickly realized I missed all the samsung apps and the features of my s-pen. So... I ended up using a tool on samsing Kies that should have recovered my phone back to normal state.. BAD IDEA.
Right now my phone is in an infinite loop and the only thing I can do is to click volume down+power+home to enter ODIN MODE. Cant do much there, but tried to flash Clockworkmod recovery in order to flash back an usable ROM. Seemed to be succesful, but it still enters ODIN MODE on my phone.
(I am not very advanced user of such tools, but followed some guides and thought I did right)
So.. right now I am stuck with a phone that can do nothing.
Please help me!

EDIT1:
I have managed to open up CWM recovery, but it fails to install cyanogenmod again. (Yes, I have no choice... I forgot to backup stock)
EDIT2:
Suddenly it works, and I have stock ROM. Strange...

Good thing you managed to recover.
Anyways, Kies can't bring you back to Stock if you are on CM. You can either do it by flashing .tar files in Odin or by flashing a Stock-based custom rom like ARHD, WanamLite, etc.
Hi all
I own this magical and wonderful device, Italian version *lol*
after a wipe mistake I am found at this situation:
1. Device can't boot normally. TWRP says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
2. TWRP works properly. I have flashed the recovery as suggested in this thread but I would need a factory stock image.
3. Odin don't see my device for some reason so I can't use it
My idea is that somehow I managed to wipe the OS and now I am faced with three mithycal questions questions:
1. How to solve this issue? I searched the forum for my model stock factory image but no luck.
2. Can I install a random ROM from inside TWRP somehow via the install menu? I did that with the recovery image but it still says there is no OS
3. Last but not least: will I be able unroot it and then with the Triangle system get it back to shape and send it to samsung? I had a little bit of a problem - that is the reason i tried the wipe in the frist place - with the 3g connection not working anymore.
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi there,
To make a long story short, CyanogenMod ****ed my rom when I updated it to a newer version and in return I decided to switch to another rom. I found one, it needed a "new" recovery (TWRP). Now I'm not new in flashing recovery's or rom's, done it on a few phones in my life, including my own about 50 times before. Everything goes correctly, TWRP got flashed, no issues whatsoever. I flash the rom and gapps, everything goes smooth and I reboot my phone. Now as I reboot, the htc logo pops up, then fades a little and comes back, it does this 3 times. Then it just boots into TWRP again. So basically it keeps booting the recovery.
Now I do my research and find this solution where you put in this line into the cmd, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota. If I do this, and I typed it over 20 times now already, and i did it correctly, it says no such file or directory. I also tried it through fastboot on my PC, says the same thing. In return I can't get TWRP to just simply boot my rom. I browsed for over 2 hours now to find a fix, and the only thing people say is: you didn't type it correctly.
I think the boot order of the device is wrong and the recovery is on top, now I want my rom to be on top so when I reboot it, it loads it. I'm not an expert in all of this, I just follow guides and understand the basics. What can I do next to solve this issue? Flash TWRP again? Flash a different version of TWRP? I used "twrp2853", the one they linked to in the page of the rom. the rom is resurrection-remix-lp-v5-2-5-t2987006. I doubt it is the rom tho.
Thank you in advance,
MiniMi

Try this:
On your pc, unpack your rom zip. Then put the boot.img file into fastboot folder. Then boot into fastboot and type (ONLY IF YOU ARE BL UNLOCKED): fastboot flash boot boot.img . This is needed to boot the rom, because only flashing the rom doesn't boot them, due to S-ON. You need to flash boot manually. Follow the process and tell me the result
Hey guys,
So I've been trying for days to get a custom Ron installed on N975F.
Right now I'm on completely reflashed stock Rom. With stock recovery et al. No root.
I am able to flash Magisk with Odin. No trouble. And my phone continues as usual without issue.
However, once I install TWRP, no matter where or how I install it, once I restart my phone it will boot past the warnings without issue, then go to the screen that just says "SAMSUNG" and the phone will never actually boot up.
I can still boot into TWRP recovery without issue, but system itself will never boot, it will just sit on the "SAMSUNG" screen forever.
In fact, it seems like as long as TWRP is installed to recovery, my system will never boot with any Rom. It can be fixed by reinstalling stock recovery, or by reflashing stock in it's entirety (which I have now done before I try again).
Has anyone got any ideas why this might be occurring or how I can address it? I saw some threads about 'rollback protection' but it seems like that is for people who are not even able to boot into TWRP, or get stuck on the first "Samsung Note 10+", screen rather than the system booting "SAMSUNG" screen.

i am guessing try ADB commands see this link! https://www.koskila.net/how-to-use-twrp-to-flash-an-android-device-that-refuses-to-boot-to-twrp/
Many N975 users have reported this issue and I have forwarded concerned to ian as well. What I believe is formatting on latest (last few) twrp causing issue.
If you have N975/N976 then, visit xda My rom thread - Download area - you will find a folder "for stock rom & bootlooped device" download instructions and follow it, I have wrote guide with or without flashing my rom
Edit :
here is direct link, you will find all required file

This guide is stop solution to root/root with twrp/fix Samsung roll back bootloop everything. And yes you don't needs to patch anything yourself, all files available are ready to use
Hi Dr Ketan,
Thanks for the response.
I actually solved the issue simply by using the version of TWRP and following the install instructions on your basic "How to Root and Install TWRP" for Note 10+ guide.
So I think this is a problem relating to Ian's latest TWRP. TWRP linked from your thread
is working fine (but leads to issue with Camera in GSI/Lineage OS ROMs).
I will have a look at your special guide relating to Samsung logo/rollback stuff and see if it will allow me to install latest TWRP from Ian and bypass these issues! Thank you.

Yes, As I said issue is related to newer TWRP only. If you use old TWRP, camera will not work. My above link guide is for latest base and you can get latest TWRP only (Included package are having latest available TWRP & Kernel)
