I've been trying to find a solution to this all day. Here's the basic gist.
I'm rooted, and have been running CM11 since November. A few days ago, I got an update that CM12 was available, so I went ahead and allowed the tablet to update. After updating, I was getting an error message regarding Google play services being unable to update. OK, fine. After trying several things, I finally just decided to format my tablet and start over. However, when I selected "format device" within CM12, I ended up in an endless loop on the TWRP screen.
So...this morning I decided to reflash the stock firmware. I downloaded a copy from Sammobile, and using ODIN, and flashed it onto my device. Now it sticks on the Samsung logo. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance!
Cool
Holy Cow - I think I got it. I finally found a thread on here that explained how to get into recovery mode so I could wipe the device and reload the firmware. That appears to have done it!

TL;DR Trying to get my phone to stock to accept OTA, running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 and unlocked bootloader/s-off with stock recovery flashed via Flashify. Anything else I should do?
So, let me preface this by saying that I am very, very new to this. I have a rooted tablet that I use, and that was a simple process. No adb commands or anything. But, when I rooted my phone using sunshine, I had no clue the world of **** I was about to get into. I rooted the phone, got a custom recovery on it, and all was going well. Until I accidentally wiped system, and was left without an OS. So, after the quick process of learning how to sideload, I got ViperOne installed on the phone and had it working. Yay for XDA help!
Not over yet though. Soon, over time, I was unable to accept calls. The phone would ring, and I would be able to answer, but no audio output and the mic wasn't picking anything up either. So, I found some fixes regarding google now voice detection, and all went well for about half an hour. Then it stopped working again. Frustrated, I bought another phone (galaxy s4), and decided I'd just get my HTC back to stock as possible.
Now for the question. I'm running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 , and I have the stock recovery (I flashed the recovery using Flashify, then rebooted the phone). All seems to be running well, despite the recovery flash wiping everything from the phone. My question is, seeing as I'm on that ROM, the latest firmware/radio/hboot, and stock recovery, and unlocked/s-off, could I accept and safely install the OTA when it rolls out? Thanks for any help, and sorry for writing so much!
Hey, check your Reddit post I gave you some info there.
Hi.
Recently, I decided to unlock my bootloader and install TWRP onto my Moto G(2014), as I wanted to use a custom ROM. After much debate between CyanogenMod and Paranoid Android, I decided to go with ParanoidAndroid.
So today, I downloaded the ROM ZIP file, loaded it up onto my SD Card, and flashed away. After the flash, I started my phone (kinda.). The phone wouldn't start, it got stuck on the boot animation. Weird, I decided.
I turned my device off, redownloaded the ROM, put it onto my SD Card, and reflashed. Same problem, in fact, the phone is sitting right next to me as I type this, on the Paranoid Android loading screen.
I was wondering if I should keep waiting, or if this is a problem. If it's a problem, how can I solve it?
Thanks.
EDIT: New Problem. It got past the boot, but now it keeps saying "Encryption Failed". It tells me to factory restore the phone, and when I do that and restart the phone, it says the same error. It's a viscious cycle. Any help please? I completely forgot to make a backup of my original stock ROM, so I have no way to use my phone anymore. The faster the reply, the better.
Thanks.
Hit your device forums and ask. It's a device specific issue.
I recently rooted and installed TWRP on my 2018 Moto G6 Play so I could try pixel experience pie ROM and had similar issue... I finally had to go find the factory stock ROM and reflash it to my device... Then I tried again with a custom kernal with no dm- verity from github source... That worked for me.. If you have Ann questions PM me...

Ok so everything was fine for a while until the next morning. Now it boots into TWRP no matter what. i assume it was a automatic OTA update to lollipop(i am on kitkat still). I tried installing a debloated lollipop rom but that didn't work and now i have downloaded a completely stock kitkat rom. I tried flashing it with the LGFlashTool but i kept getting "cannot boot into download mode" so after some searching i found out that you have to use a OEM cable and i was using a cheapo one so i went to att today and got one but i keep getting the same error.
i have done all the steps correctly for the LGFlashTool, i triple checked. installed drivers and everything. Any help is appreciated, thank you
for those watching, i am not sure what the hell happened but it works now. after about 10+ times i called it quites and started playing games and decided to try one more time and it worked. not sure what was going on but i'm good to go!
Hey guys, i've been loving bringing new life to my s2, but i went to put the latest PA on today and it said "make sure you have the latest TWRP". So i hit up the twrp site and it listed a new 2.8.7.0 version. I did note that most threads showed the 2.8.6 rev but i figured since it was on the official site it would be safe. I booted into my current TWRP, i think it was ancient, like 2.7.x, and i loaded the img, no problem and it flashed fine. I rebooted into recovery and say the 2.7.8 at the top and thought "ok great". but when i went to install my new rom, i don't have the SD card accessible. It only shows me the main system, which is also odd because if i go to factory reset or wipe cache or anything, it tells me "no os installed". If i go to reboot it also tells me "no os installed", and i relaunched in a bunch of times and i can't get it to read my SD card to flash down or anything.
Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated.
*i should note, it still boots into my old system, so it's still there, but sadly I can't get pas the sim card screen so i can't use the os to circumvent the above error..
no ideas eh? man i hope i'm not screwed. luckily it's a secondary device but still..
*edit. after going through a ton of things i figured out i might still be able to odin over a new recovery. So i'm messing with CWM mod now and going to see if i have better luck there. I can't belie i didn't think to just odin out after the last go, but admittedly i was pretty frustrated at the time.
update
ended up using the CM13 guide and flashing between the TWRP versions listed in the guide and getting the re-partition on the phone for larger systems. After that i was able to get all kinds of stuff going that was giving me hell before. currently (and happily) running cm13 after a brief flash to PA. Can't believe how well the community has a marshmellow based rom on this ol geezer.
I ran into the same problem too when I did my first recovery installation so basically we can't use the TWRP from the official site. The one we can use is from our forum. I used the one from Paranoid 5.1.1 or CM13. Thanks to the community, S2 is still alive.
My galaxy note 8.0 was in a older rom and i wanted to upgrade the rom to a newer one. when installing it went great and booted up just fine, then i installed the Gapps and the device booted up, proceed to the android is upgrading screen, then just shut off. apon booting it up, after it is complete the tablet would come up with a full screen error message in the old android UI saying encryption was disabled and that i need to format my tablet. So, i go to format the tablet, it boots back up to the same message. i tried different recoveries, and switched roms. it ends up with the same error. i even formatted all the volumes using the recoveries. apon formatting, it gives the error: error mounting /data. Volume not found. Does anyone know how to fix missing volumes?
Repartitioning
You might have some luck getting the stock image from the sammobile website and using the Odin tool to reflash back to stock. That has worked correctly for me only once on this device. I've been running stock for years with the latest update being the one for heartbleed from 2016. I don't use it often for secuity concerns from being out of date on KitKat. Failing that, if your local Best Buy has a Samsung Experience kiosk, they can flash the Note 8.0 back to the latest 2016 image. Problem is you have to find an employee who knows what they're doing.
