I have run into a problem here with my TAB S. I have custom firmware kitkat installed (yTab-chagall), and when I try to upgrade to latest Ironrom 2.5 it bricks the tablet. This is what I do:
1. boot into recovery TWRP
2. trying to install Ironrom, says it is successful (wiped everything), but get stuck on samsung logo
3. rinse repeat
how do I get from kitkat to lolipop (or later)? I dont understand this step.
Why not just read the instructions in the Ironrom thread?
It tells you what you need to do.
First you need to install a lollipop bootloader.

can you link to this bootloader? I am not very good at this.
Just to confirm we are referring to Ironrom 2.4.5, there is no 2.5?
First page of Ironrom thread under the heading 'Bootloader collection' you will find the bootloader.

Cheers

It looks like you flashed a ROM for the t805 not the t705.
First let's get you back to stock.
Download the firmware for your device from the link below.
Follow the instructions to install it. This will get you up and running again.

No need to flash the bootloader after flashing the stock firmware.
I would do a factory reset in recovery.

Hi ya, I have already done that but issue still there. Now I can boot up and start the setup process and the tablet freezes and reboots about 1 minute into setup process near where you have to sign in to google
Any more suggestions:crying::crying::crying: please
Tbh I think you have a hardware issue.
Now new problem when I try to install twrp it will not do it, If I go into the system recovery and try to do factory reset an error shows as follows
E: unknown volume for path {/sbfs}
E: unknown volume "/sbfs"[/U][/U]
Data wipe complete.
I thought it may be battery related but I have changed to a genuine new battery. still same issue
Please please Tech God help me

I think that to but this only happened when I tried to install LP rom
I have installed the TWRP and just wanted to update to Android 6. The problem is, that once the download finishes and the phone reboots, it puts me in the TWRP instead of installing the update. How do I proceed to update my phone to Android 6?
You want to install OTA on TWRP? Not gonna work, find your software number(4.xx.xx.xx) in Settings/about. Then flash stock recovery(numbers must match with software number) and try to apply OTA. You might need clean stock(non-rooted) rom.
I checked my version and it says 4.16.401.13, so I downloaded the stock+recovery+4.16.401.13_M8 and flashed it via adb using "fastboot flash recovery img". When I wanted to install the OTA I got into the recovery and got this: http://imgur.com/FpVk5Sg
Afaik I have the official ROM and just got root access for a few apps back in the days

Anyways, check this thread and download stock twrp nand for your 4.16.401.13 firmware from here, follow the steps carefully, it's easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Thank you! Am I seeing that right, that all of my apps and co will be gone afterwards?
Yep, but you can always backup apps(+data of apps) with titanium backup pro and restore later.

You haven't posted enough information. Posting that you have the "same problem" isn't helpful, and usually leaves us lacking the specific information needed to help you at all.
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number).
Also, is Bootloader is unlocked?
Is the phone currently on stock ROM? Rooted?
What version TWRP?
Okay so i'm having some issues flashing this rom. While installing it tells me that the file im using' lte' is the wrong one for my device and that I should be using wifi. My tab is SMT705 .. i'm very confused, any ideas?
Update
Accidental reply.
You need to install the t700 version of twrp to install the wifi version of cm or remove the assert lines from the updater script.

How comes it won't let im install the lte version of cm when my tablet is lte enabled? Also, this is my first ever time flashing a rom so I don't know what the updater script it.
I tried installing the wifi version of cm, doing what the error said. The installation went a little further but got stuck at 'flashing the image conditionally'

It doesn't matter what your device is, you need to use the right recovery. If you have installed the t700 version of recovery then cm will think your device is a wifi version.
You have to wait at the flashing image conditionally message. Its not stuck, it takes a while for the rom to install, just be patient.

Ok, so as far as I'm aware, the TWRP recovery I'm using covers both t700 and t705. So would you suggest using a different recovery, or just flashing the wifi cm?

When you say failing, what do you mean? what is the error that you are getting on the phone?
i ask because i am having similar issues. am currently on lineage 7.1.1 and i found a single post out there that mentioned that when i flashed up to 7.1.1 that it triggered a fuse in the flash memory, that cannot be reversed. The error message i get seems to indicate that this is correct. fused2 > binary 1 - meaning that my handset is fused to 2 but the one i am flashing is only a 1.
i have a fully working phone on 7.1.1 but i want to revert to stock and am unable to do so

Well there's no MM based SPFT file, so all you have to do is either flash stock kk/LP using SPFT or if you've twrp installed, boot into TWRP again and wipe everything except SD, flash the MOB31E full stock Rom zip. Link : MOB31E OTA's and flashable zips thread

Hello, please help
The device is canvas a1 and it is fully updated till the last update via OTAs only. I performed factory reset on it. It is now stuck on setup wizard. Not able to skip from there.
I wanted to flash it again.
So, can you please tell if it is OK to flash KK or LP flash files?
(I am asking this because, its BL might have got upgraded in OTA updates and it could be dangerous to downgrade to lower versions by flashing.)

Remove your battery and insert it again, put the device into bootloader mode and unlock it, then you can fastboot the twrp and good to go.

Nothing to worry. Once you get twrp, just clean flash stock lollipop Rom. Don't use SPFT, you gonna brick your phone if something goes wrong wrong. I'll link you LP (flashable via twrp) Rom, tell me when you done.

Hi there
I have the same problem and my phone is stuck at the boot screen.
My phone does not allow me to enable USB debugging and I am really stuck with being able to install TWRP and flash the stock ROM.
I'm incredibly confused and am unsure what I am doing. Attached is a screenshot of the CMD box.
Help and simple instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
