Just a theory but did you flash a CM12 ROM? Do you have a TWRP nandroid (backup) of any ROM you knew worked before?
Can you see the Settings/About phone to see build, modem or firmware? That's basically asking if it boots at all.
I ask because I'm wondering if CM12 put you on the OE1 bootloader preventing you from going back to older builds? Hopefully not. Did you try restoring the original backup? What happened?
If you're stuck without a functional TWRP backup, going back to CM12 or Lollipop Noterized Stable 2 may be an option.
If data continues to be an issue, there are some fixes for certain issues in the OP of some CM ROMs. There was a TWRP backup for OE1 but I wouldn't recommend that unless you can confirm your actual build is in fact OE1.
Otherwise, the usual backup internal memory of wanted files, TWRP backups and media to sdcard and thorough wipe of system, internal, cache and dalvik-cache and a few factory resets and nandroid restore or flash a TW build OB7 or lower build should do it.
Be careful because the next move you make could be critical without a PC. The recommended wipes plus Odin OF5 would best option if you don't mind giving up KitKat or passing on custom ROMs briefly. If my theory is right, going back to OB7 or KitKat is already not an option.

I'm having issues flashing multiple roms of the 4.x.x Roms. The only rom so far I have been able to install and actually run on my phone is TweakWiz V2. I have tried many other roms and they just stay in a boot loop screen. Examples are with the Avatar rom it just stays on the mask an keeps going and going. I have tried CyanogenMod/Cyan Kang an it just stays on the Circle with the bar going around on the inside.
I am running the TWRP Touch Recovery. I also have the latest Radio update and everything else is updated on my phone.
I also let the install itself run for 10+ minutes everytime. But all the roms I try they keep doing the exact same thing and staying in a boot loop.
Can anyone give me any tips or suggestions to maybe something I could do to use another rom or maybe even a suggestion to something I may have overlooked.. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
An if you need me to give any other information let me know an I will provide.

1.Im using the latest TWRP.
2. Wiping System, Cache, Dvalik or whatever. I wipe everything in the usual instructions. And I make a backup of previous ROM. Flash the ROM then the G-Apps.
3. After I flash I let the ROM run its course an I wait from 15-45 mins for the ROM to load if it doesnt I switch back to TweakWiz or try another.

try using this recovery since the recovery you are using is the latest one and technically for 4.3 ROMs, give this a shot http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hercules/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-hercules.tar its the same recovery but lower . the steps you clarified seem very proper but your recovery may be at fault crossing fingers try flashing that recovery through odin or download the zip from the same website and report back after trying to flash again
Are you sure you are wiping DATA also?
You will need to do this, if you are flashing a 4.2 or 4.3 ROM, then you will also want to wipe the pre-load. Then flash the rom, and gapps.
Use the newest TWRP 2.6.1.0 to flash anything, don't need an older recovery to flash older ROM's.

Is there a option I'm not deleting ?
Because I've been flashing ROMS on different phones an I have never had any issues before. I was using ICS an GB etc before an just recently decided to upgrade an use the JB (I think that's the name.) on my phone.
Has anyone tried going back to a Touchwiz ROM from a CM12 ROM on the note 4? I get stuck in a boot loop everytime. IF anyone could point me in the right direction in would be greatly appreciated.
Using TWRP:
wiped: System/data/dalvik cache/cache
Any Non touchwiz rom works fine.

I don't believe I ever did an OTA update before I left the stock ROM. other than that I've done nothing special to the phone
Make sure you keep at least one CM nandroid that includes internal memory backup in case you have trouble.
I do believe you need to wipe internal memory switching between CM and TW as well the the Android folder on the ExtSdCard.
I'd suggest backing up your photos, downloads and have your titanium backup on ExtSdCard, if possible.
Coming back to TW, I recommend the wipes, flash TW ROM, reboot recovery and flash once more before your initial boot. It may help restore TW partitions, if that still applies. Any problem with boot after that, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.
I wouldn't be afraid of Odin stock BOB7 tar if any doubt or troubles in the process or you suspect a soft brick. But still retain the nandroid and wipes first. Do a full power down, like a battery pull prior to Odin of stock tars.
And if you can't Odin BOB7, you may have taken the OE1 OTA update. In that case, try a TW ROM with custom kernel.
I swap back and forth when I get in the mood to try to fix/adjust the data/sms issues, But never had an issue going back to TW. Did you make a backup of your original rom before going to CM? Thats what I did. Worst case, You can always odin the latest software and that should fix your problems.
I believe you only need to wipe internal storage when going back to kk. Aslo how long did you wait to boot?alliance ROM took a while for me.

So my E980 will not turn wifi on with a custom ROM. I have tried probably 10 different roms and many different android version numbers with no change. The switch is greyed out and will not turn on at all. I have the following installed:
CM12-20150625-Snapshot-YNG4NAO09M
WildKernel
I believe Mack's modem
Gapps
Nothing will fix this. I have read where other people have installed stock Kernels to fix their issues but will doing that cause a problem because I am on android version 5.x+? Everything seems to work ok on the phone other than wifi and I really need that.
Have you tried to flash CM over full stock 4.1 without custom modem? All CM based roms recommended install is: flash stock 4.1 kdz through Lg Flash Tool 2014 cse flash, then root, then freegee + cwm, then CM. And only if something is wrong then patches.
Yeah that's how I have been doing it actually. I only started doing there kernels and stuff yesterday morning. I did find that blisspop v3.6 actually had working WiFi on my phone but it had other weird issues. It would randomly reboot and then go into reinstalling the ROM and it would also randomly shut my cellular data connection off by itself. Like I could watch it turn the switch off and on ine settings app. Those coupled with really bad battery life made me flash back to stock 4.1.2.
Then after flashing back to stock I went on and did the ota update to 4.4.2 but that caused issues with the screen not coming back on after making a phone call without doing a power cycle. I would love to run a custom ROM but none I have found are stable and only one has most all the stock features working in it.
Did you use recommended recovery version? Try upgrading from stock 4.1 directly to BlissPop using latest Philz Touch or TWRP 2.8.6.0 modified? Personally i prefer this recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554356 for my E988. It can flash and backup modem and EFS.

The recovery part has always confused me. Thus far I have been downloading FreeGee Free off the playstore and using it to install CWM. I tried TWRP once but the interface wouldn't work right on my device. Some of the onscreen buttons would do different things than their label said (like Reboot would take me to a different screen, not Reboot) and the slider bar at the bottom wouldn't work.
How do you install the recovery using that Zip file? And could that be causing me problems?

I'm installing it from recovery just like another zips (ROMs etc)
Problems? Theoretically, yes, if you flash recovery that isn't compatible with your device
Was on 4.4.2 stock NJ2...Odin'ed a custom recovery like TWRP...rebooted.....NO IMEI and BASEBAND. That's about as simple, yet complex it gets. Tried reverting back to stock recovery in Odin, only to find that NO IMEI and BASEBAND still shows up. THE ONLY way I've successfully kept the IMEI/BASEBAND....is by keeping everything stock, from recovery to rom. Why would this be? I've even tried restoring the EFS folder....to no avail!!!! I'M FRUSTRATED!!!! My end goal is to be able to flash a rom, use TWRP/CWM, and KEEP the IMEI/BASEBAND!!!
ANY HELP? ANYONE having the same issue or fix?
THANKS!!!!!!:good:
Possible fix...
Make sure you have not used device encryption on the rom prior to your desired rom...
If you have then a device full wipe script is needed to clean up the phone prior to flashing the new rom...
(don't forget to check your SD card for encryption or data files that may be affected)...
Flash TWRP version 2.8.6.0 and flash your new rom....
Higher TWRP versions have been buggy for me...
Best I've got atm....g
It's because you are using TWRP 3.0.0.1, that one is broken
I've been trying for over a month to get wicked rom installed on my n3 n900t . I'm rooted bootloader unlocked with twrp installed. I've had no issue installing any other rom on this phone I'm currently running alliance 5.0 and resurrection remix 6.0.1 and they work great but I would like to see what wicked is like. ( what it does when trying to install ) OK I have the wicked rom saved to my SD card with 4.4.2 gapps I'll restore my phone to alliance rom which is 4.4.2 and is says in the install it needs to be a 4.4.2 bootloader to install wicked, I'll go into twrp do a full wipe data, delvic,system, wipe it out then install the ROM and gapps package and it'll start to do its thing then get to where it says aramullz xda ( something? ) the progress bar will stop and it'll self boot itself out of twrp and go back to alliance rom and which will be messed up due to doing a full wipe. I like to figure things out on my own that's the fun part but this one's got me. Thanks for any advice.
Did you use terminal or Samsung Phone Info app to verify the bootloader in the phone?
I installed compullsion kernel 4.4.2 before and that failed, tried installing it while flashing the rom and gapps that failed, tried the other older versions of wicked v5 and v4 and v1 they all act exactly the same. I even wiped the whole phone completely cause I got Pissed due to failure ( lol ) flashed a fresh AP in Odin and tried everything again and still failed. I'm in the process of trying to convert the zip file to a tar md5 but having issues that Odin won't except the files cause the ( tar archived ) and I did flash the 4.4.2 bootloader as well. I'm beginning to think wicked doesn't like me.
My bootloader info should be 4.4.2

this the info now which is useless because I'm on alliance 5.0 rom so it originally came from 4.4.2 chainfire zip.

Yes, looks like the phone is on 4.4.2 bootloader. Were you able to install the ROM?

No still nothing I've tried everything I even wiped the entire phone installed the B4 Odin files AP and BL and CSC then flash chain fires autoroot file and twrp. The phone was basically stock 4.4.2. I tried all 3 wicked zips V1 V4 V5 and they all reacted the same way. And I already grabbed these files from different locations to make sure I didn't possibly get a bad batch. I've got every rom to flash on this no problem. Pacman, RR, alliance, slimroms, any cyan rom, I've come to terms no wicked for me. Lol
Lol, finally got wicked installed via flashfire. Twrp wouldn't do it. Super happy really fast rom.
What versions of twrp did you try? Just curious.
Using the newest 3.0.2 I think. Btw wicked rom so far is the most stable coolest rom I've experienced so far. I forsee it as my daily.
I have seen reports of some people having issues with 3.0 and higher so I stick with 2.87 for my devices.
No I actually didn't catch that. Besides that it refusing to install the wicked rom I haven't seen very many other issues. Well sometimes when im restoring a rom in twrp when it boots itll sometimes not in stall a lot of Google Play stuff and the UI will crash and I'll have to restore it again. I actually like the look and the button placement better in the version your using.
