So I was running the New Rom gohma in the Dev section everything was fine and I flashed a update on my phone so I went to factory reset it to pair it to my phone and boom I got stuck in a boot loop. After my hour of being brain dead and forgetting how to get in the bootloader. Now I have that figured out. I can get it to take different recoveries but when I flash a boot.img and system.img it either gets stuck at the M or it just boots into TWRP (or recovery) . I tried to clean some things to make sure it was a fresh install using -w witch now even if I flash a system or a boot.im TWRP wont mount recovery or back up I must of brooked the partition. So im guessing there is a way to fix this but I feel like im going the opposite direction with a phone I would just go for it till I got it because I feel more complaint that I wont destroy my device. where iam starting to doubt myself of that with the MOTO 360. I decided to put it down for the night to try and get some advise or help from others. I really enjoy learning these stuff and im ok with it for a learning project as long as I can save it at this point. I was also very frustrated so I decided to take a break . ANY HELP ADVISE

Hi all, pretty much a phone noob hoping to get some help. I'm probably gonna write a book but I want to provide as much info as possible...
My D710 had been working fine running rooted GB27. I decided to flash the "Not Now" rom. Seemed simple enough and very straightforward...
After flashing I got stuck in a boot loop. Read up on how to get out of boot loop and reflashed selecting wipe and Fix Permissions.
No help, still boot loop.
Went back to recovery mode and I have stock recovery instead of AGAT. The little android dude is laying on his back with a red triangle coming out of his gut.
After ****ing around some I decided to try wipe/factory reset.
Phone booted! YAY! The Not Now rom is installed (I guess). Phone looks different but most of my apps come back and the phone works (Calls, text, apps run) It seems a little flakey though and the whole thing feels pretty sketchy given how I got here.
I decide I should really flash back to stock and then see what I want to do from there. and now the fun begins:
I can't get into Odin mode
I can't get my computer to see the phone as a storage device. The drivers load and 2 new removable drives show up but neither is accessible.
From the Shut Down menu I have an option for Boot Loader. I selected it and it looks like it's in Odin Mode but Odin doesn't see the phone.
So I have a functioning phone that seems shaky. I'd really like to load a stock ROM again and get it more stable. I'd appreciate if anyone has advice about how I can fix the USB issue (buy a new phone?)
Thanks
John

You need to check "USB Debugging" in the setting mode. I am not on TW so I can't tell you the exact spot. Once that is selected, It should be good to go. You need a custom recovery. I would suggest Philz recovery or AGATs. You will need to wipe data, cache, dalvik.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I did manage to restore a backup so I'm back where I started (rooted GB27) prior to screwing around with Not Now.
I'm considering trying to go to Villuminati by following these steps:

I've got AGAT recovery loaded now so I think that I can skip the first couple of steps...

I don't have the specific locations, but you could do this a simpler way. You need to have these files on SD card.
1. Flash Philz recovery for D710 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652286
2. Wipe Cache, Dalvik
3. "install" new ROM.
4. Flash Gapps
You should keep Philz on your SD card. It is the easiest way to flash ANY 4.4 ROM. If you want to use the ART, go to developer options and scroll all the way down. Select ART, let the phone reboot. Once it reboots, turn it off for about 1 minute. Turn it back on. You can not use ART with Xposed. They do not like each other. DO NOT USE PHILZ TO MAKE A BACKUP!. Use the recovery that came with the ROM. Only use Philz to flash. Let me know what happens. Before you do anything, make a backup first.
Thanks. I may give this a try tonight.
Thanks for your help.
I've got Viluminati running! Amazing as I was pretty sure I had bricked my phone a few days ago
Hey guys, basically, i'm new-ish to flashing, but i was able to do it following all instructions. Yesterday i installed an s5 theme from this site that caused my phone to have problems such as the wifi not working. I was reading that flashing a custom kernel might help, it didn't.
So i woke up, entered my TWRP custom recovery and stupidly factory wiped everything, now my phone wont get past the 'Samsung galaxy s III' screen, it just stays there. I have no idea what to do, i'm dumb enough not to make a recovery file before i started all this so i've ****ed up there.
If anyone can help me get my phone back i'll be extremely happy, i just want it working again! I have work in a few hours and really hope to fix it before then! Any help is appreciated.
well i posted this for someone else who wiped their phone, maybe it would help you. OR i got it all wrong. lol (i know, not so funny).
can you take your ext.sd card , put in different phone, download a ROM and whatever else you need. then place ext.sd card back in your phone and flash away? IDK, might work.
good luck.
err on the side of kindness
What mrrocketdog said, and you can flash a ROM with S5 theme already built in.. If you just want it back to stock, flash newest firmware for your device with Odin
I flashed the latest version of Xenon HD 11-26 for my D852 and it gave me an error on reboot from TWRP saying that root wasnt there anymore and to reapply root, I said yes and reboot and now I cant get back into TWRP at all.
Im not sure if Im doing the back buttons right, but Im kinda starting to panic and Im not sure what to do since the phone wont boot to an OS now for me to try and use the software to reboot back into recovery.
Any sort of guidance would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I finally got Recovery to go back up, so, Im trying to reflash now.
Sorry for making a panic thread, guys.
I am trying to root my device and i have the application win-droid to do it. The twrp will not work, it said it flashed it onto my device. Im not an expert on this stuff so i looked it up, and people said that win-droid and twrp is finicky at this point and time, i did the boot loader thing first and all that so i unlocked my watch but i dont know what else to do,. If you know how to flash the twrp can you give me a detailed explanation on how to do so.
If you are wondering, im trying to make it so i can switch phones without having to factory reset
Bricked my phone ! please help!!!
Hello everyone, I think I messed up my phone pretty bad. So I did everything on this instructions to load twp and everything seemed fine. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206)
Was able to get to twp and tried to install Renovate Ice ROM. After the flash was done the phone kept booting into TWP. . didn't know what to do so I did the whole process again thinking i will get my original ROM back. ( i know, stupid mistake ). Once i saw that things weren't going anywhere i decided to flash the Stock ROM back in and try to start over, the flash completed but now i'm stuck on a boot loop, the phone won't turn off and recovery is unacceptable.
I really would appreciate any help and am willing to donate a few bucks if someone is able to get me out of this mess.
thanks!
