Hey guys,
I apologize if this has been asked and resolved a thousand times already. I've searched through this sub-forum and the threads on it didn't seem to have a solution that worked for me.
The issue: I just recently flashed CM 12 Nightly and Gapps, along with changing recovery from CWM to TWRP. I flashed TWRP via Odin, then installed CM 12 and Gapps via TWRP. I was able to get into CM 12 ONCE and it worked just fine, but when I restarted my phone after the initial flash, it now just constantly boots into TWRP.
To clarify for those that might wonder: I can get into TWRP and download mode just fine. I just...can't get beyond them.
What I've tried: I found these instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21301573&postcount=3
However I can't get ADB to find my device as I can't actually boot it into the OS. If I should be going about this a different way then please let me know.
I've also tried reflashing the recovery, reflashing the ROM and Gapps, reflashing my old ROM and Gapps, wiping Dalvik, cache, and data partition (both via TWRP and Odin), pulling the battery and starting as normal, booting into download mode and then rebooting from there.
All of the above has got me no luck so far.
If any of you have any suggestions then I would be very grateful. Cheers.
I managed to get back into my phone by flashing my carrier's stock ROM via Odin, worked a treat.
Time to start again!

Hi there. Here I have my t989 with stable cm11 by Sultanxda and twrp 2.7.0.0 installed.
Everything was fine until I wanted to try 5.0.1.
I got into twrp and did the usual wipe and install ParanoidAndroid 5.0. It failed.
Ok stuff happens so I just went restore my backup no big deal.
Now when I reboot back my phone looks as it were before BUT it reboots after 2-3 minutes in every time it boots back up.
So I thought the power button has problem but soon I figured it is not because my phone won't self reboot in recovery and download mode.
I went back to twrp and try to wipe it clean and install cm11 instead of restoring to my previous backup.
Wipe says successful, install says successful, reboot system. And only to find myself still in my old Rom and nothing was wiped.
All my apps are still there blahblahblah. I tried to update my twrp through twrp manager but phone reboot before it finishes installing.
I grab my odiin and try to update recovery there. Odin says success. Goes to recovery only to find its still in 2.7.0.0
Download a stock .tar and flash it with Odin. Odin says success, boot up and still in my old cm11 rom...
Now I went out of option but ask for help. I have done flashing for 3 years with this phone and I have never gotten this problem before.
Please Help
Hi all. I've got a Sprint Note 2 that's not active with any plan and I just want to use it as an extra mini tablet.
I want to use it for music and videos as well as for making music with Caustic. For this to work with low latency I need lollipop.
Previously the phone was rooted and was running twrp and various kitkat ROMs.
I found a version of cyanide ROM that's a tablet style rom with no mobile data or calling enable. Wifi only.
plus therebwas this Shift package that would enablenetflix to work. Great.
So i downloaded cyanide tablet version, shift and gapps. Using twrp i did a full wipe and flashed the rom and shift but gapps wouldnt flash.
So for the time being I gave up on gapps (though I will definitely need the play store to load my purchased apps.
When I tried to boot the phone it just hung at the bootup animation.
Someone suggested I use philz recvery. I flashed philz with odin and booted into recovery. Sure enough philz was working. So then i wiped again and tried to flash the cyanide rom again. This time not even worrying about gapps until i could verify that the rom would flash boot up.
Again it got stuck in the boot animation screen. I tried flashing it with odin instead of from the microsd card. Again stuck in the boot animation.
I reinstalled twrp and tried flashing with that again. Same issue.
So then I tried cw12.1. Even though netflix doesn't work on it last I checked. I wiped and flashed and again stuck in boot animation. Though this time its the cm animation. So i know the rom was at least flashed.
This i thought perhaps somehow i lost root so none of these kernels would load. So i downloaded cf autoroot and flashed with odin which said it was successful. Phone rebooted...again stuck at bootup animation.
So basically the phone is bricked. What should I do? Install stock rom with stock recovery, then root and wipe and install cyanide? Or should NOT wippe and install it? How shoud I root it, with what methos and when during the flashing sequence. Ive tried every combination I could think of
I wiped the phone clean and tried to flash the new version of AEX But, it showed Error 7.
Tried looking for fix for Error 7 on internet, it didn't work for AEX5.6, 5.5, 5.4.
5.3 installs normally.
But felt like needed something new.
Went on the forums to find Xtended ROM. Flashed it.
After flashing it tried flashing Nano GAPPS.. Didn't work.
Tried to system reboot and thought I can later work it out.
ROM is all fine... But, later when I got to recovery mode.
(Problem begins)
I realised I lost TWRP.
And the recovery that's there wouldn't allow me to flash anything.
It looks more like CWM recovery but with less options.
It doesn't even have a advanced wipe!
Now I'm stuck with a non rooted phone, without Google bare minimum functionalities.
Am I alone? Help me out!

For aex issue did you flash factory2vendor zip before flashing rom?
You will have to install twrp image using PC. Like the first time you did when you were unlocking bootloader
Flash zui using qfil or miflash.
If bootloader is unlocked still. You can directly flash twrp.
If not first unlock your bootloader and then flash twrp.
For treble rom like aex5.5 you need to flash factory2vendor.zip and then flash twrp with treble support.
For info on flashing and link visit aex5.5 rom page.
Hello guys.
I'm having trouble here with a friend's device.
the device simply reboots the twrp.
I already realized the flash of several rons, I also tried with the stock.
installs everything correctly, but at the time of doing the reenicialization in the system returns to twrp again.
I have already tested several versions of twrp and also did not succeed.
Has anyone ever had this problem? I'm finding it very strange, because I've been with rom for a long time and I've never had any problems like this.
What do you think it could be? and how can I resolve and re-restart correctly again?
Thank you in advance.
You flashed the stock ROM and you still have TWRP? Then something is wrong. Usually when that happens you did something wrong. So this is a good thing you are stuck in TWRP. Usually a factory reset will make it boot again. You can pull data off from TWRP before doing this (like pictures and such).
What exactly have you tried to flash (order too), and what version of TWRP are you using. The factory ROM may not have worked as well if you tried to flash the latest, without having the treble partition setup, or did not have a version of TWRP that keeps the vendor partition mounted.
We really need a few more details on what you tried to help.
If you just want to get it booting, I would try wiping everything in BluSpark's TWRP, and flash 5.1.5 OOS.
I had some old lineageOS installed. So, yesterday i got into a bootloop with my old S4 mini and the first thing i did was to reboot in Twrp recovery and wipe cache and dalvik but i also wiped data and system. Now my phone is in state were it can only boot in download, odin recognizes it and i am able to flash trwp but i cannot boot into it. Adb doesn't recognise my phone. Well, maybe it did once but no more.
I know i probably erased something i shouldn't so thats why i cant even load into recovery although Odin shows it got flashed properly. But thats not my problem. What i cant find are instructions on how to wipe everything and start installing from zero, just like i did when i installed LineageOS years ago. Currently i am downloading the stock Rom, if i manage to flash it with Odin then i can continue from there.
