I have the E975 unlcoked with FreeGee. Everything was working fine until I installed MIUIV6 and then manually tried to flash an upgrade package. (going to miui settings, selecting update and then manually browsing for update package from there).
But the flash failed and my phone is rebooting in recovery now. Tried to flash a new rom. (ARTMOD and CM12.1) but the phone still reboots into recovery always.
I would flash KDZ but the phone is not detected in download mode on my laptop. Any clues? I have lg united drivers installed.

Hello, my friend has a Ace 2 (GT-I8160) and he wanted me to try and install CM 11 on his phone. I managed to root it and install temporary CWM on it, however his version of CWM could not flash CM 11 ROM's because it was outdated. I Googled around and found a TWRP .img file that I decided to flash via ODIN (CWM couldn't flash any TWRP .zip files for some reason). Everything went perfectly fine with ODIN, however my friends phone could not go pass the Samsung logo, it would appear for a few seconds and then the screen would go black. He also couldn't go into recovery but he could go into Download mode. Thinking that it was a recovery problem, I managed to get a .img file of TWRP 2.8.6.0 by Chronomonochrome and flash that via ODIN. Still the same problem - phone won't go pass the logo, however it can go into recovery.
So, now the phone boots perfectly to Download mode and recovery - and it can do everything from the recovery, like making backups, wiping, etc, but it cannot boot to the OS itself. I still haven't flashed a custom ROM on his phone because he didn't have the ROM file on his phone at the time nor could be transfer it to his phone via his PC because of some driver issue.
I'm currently downloading I8160XXBN1 firmware from Samsung Updates to flash via ODIN and try to get his phone back into working state. However, I also planned on placing my SD Card (which has the CM rom and Gapps on it) into his phone and flashing a new, custom ROM instead of flashing the firmware.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Should I flash official firmware via ODIN or just flash the ROM using the recovery?
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, earlier today my phone just decided to randomly reboot itself. Since then it was stuck in a boot loop. I couldn't get into recovery mode at all. So instead, I got into the firmware update mode, and flashed a Marshmallow KDZ using LGUP. First I did and update, but that didn't work. Then tried refurbish, and that failed too. It just doesn't want to reboot. Any ideas?
Any way to install TWRP from the firmware update (download mode) screen?

Today I tried using the SkipSoft Toolkit to install a custom recovery and root my note 2. I followed the instructions (installed USB drivers) then i got to the part to install custom recovery with odin. At this point i noticed the program was failing to but my phone into download mode. Yet it was moving on and launching odin and pretending everything was ok. Even odin recognized the phone. I don't know what to do so i tried to flash twrp. It failed. I then manually went into download mode. Tried again and it failed. I closed everything. I manually launched odin and went into download mode and flashed twrp. This time it worked. After rebooting i went to recovery and i noticed it was stock recovery. SkipSoft warned me about some phones reflashing stock recovery and that i needed to flash a custom recovery and go into it before the phone boots then flash a permanentrecovery.zip file inside the custom recovery so it stayed that way.
I went into download mode again, i flashed twrp again, but i forgot to disable the auto-reboot setting. I quickly hold power+upvol+home to try to get into the recovery instead of booting normally. I don't know if that was the problem or something else, but my phone got stuck in a bootloop. I can't enter recovery and only download mode. I tried reflashing recovery with odin in download mode but i noticed it was getting stuck and the process didn't even start. I reinstalled the drivers and now my computer or odin are not even recognizing the phone anymore.
Any ideas on what the problem could be or how to fix this?
TL/DR: Phone stuck in bootloop, can't access recovery only download mode but computer doesn't recognize it even with the samsung drivers installed anymore.
It was the usb cable. Apparently usb cables that come with chargers are not good. Good to know.
i previously had cm 13 on my phone before i sent it in to ASUS for repair, what happened was the phone turned off while connected to pc and didnt turn back on http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/zenfone-2-ze551ml-wont-t3142652 bootloader was unlocked (i think it still is, unlocker app throws error when i run it) i got it back with the stock rom on it. i tried flashing twrp so that i could once more install cm13, twrp flashed but i cant boot into recovery no matter what i try.
solved!
for anyone experiencing this problem, download the latest firmware, download the bootloader unlocker app from asus and try again, then use windroid toolkit/ or adb to flash twrp recovery to the phone.
Edit:
I installed some LG Drivers from a root article and now the phone is recognized. I can update to V20G and test it again, hope it works!
Hello!
I was running CM14.1 on my LG G4 and a few days ago I decided to install a new update but from within the phone itself. Sadly, it just rebooted to the recovery and didn't install anything. And from there, it always rebooted into the recovery no matter what I did. I also did a full wipe and installed CM14.1 clean but it still rebooted to the recovery and didn't want to go past that. I made a Reddid thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/5gcap3/g4_h815_cm_141_help_i_cant_boot_outside_of/.
So I got help with that - I got into Download Mode and flashed the stock software via LGUP. Sadly, after I did this, I can no longer install a custom recovery. The phone is not rooted and LGUP and LG Bridge don't recognize the device anymore and the phone says there isn't a new update available but it's on the 5.1 stock ROM.
Whenever I flash the TWRP image via fastboot and I reboot into recovery, it doesn't boot into TWRP but it boots into some kind of other fastboot mode. And I've tried to issue `fastboot boot twrp-x-x-x.img` but it fails to do so and shows `FAILED (remote: dtb not found)`.
Is there a way to fix this so I can flash CM again?
Thanks in advance!

The bootloop to recovery is a known issue of one the December nightlies of CM 14. Head over to the CM thread and search for bootloop and twrp. They provided a solution to solve this too.
Besides that: which twrp version do you tried to fastboot? H811 or h815? Taken from the official download site?

twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img, H815 as the title says and from the official website as I've always done. As for the thread - I don't have TWRP and I can't even flash it as I've written in my post. That's what I'm struggling with.
