Hey, I am posting this here too because I need to make this quickly
some days ago I received a Z7 Max. I updated it to the latest Rom (Adnroid 5) but didn't like it, so using TWRP I tried to get it back to the 1.64 version (Android 4.4).
However, this bricked it. I can turn on the phone and it shows the "many pictures"-bootscreen (the android 4.4 one) and then it shows the "updating apps" screen but then it powers off at the first app.
I can get into stock recovery but not into TWRP and somehow it doesn't show the backup I made.
I also tried to do something based on the italian unbrick tutorial but i didn't really figure out what to do.
Can anybody pleeease help me or do I have to use my old phone again?
or does anyone maybe know how to flash a rom without having a custom recovery and without the ability to enable usb debugging?

I rooted my LG Optimus G Pro 4.4.2 via TowelRoot, installed SphinX, FreeGee, and installed TWRP recovery. I then flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2, and it (seemingly) worked well. However, I seem to have lost the ability to call others and recieve calls, but texting works, and I am disappointed with the battery life. It seems to not support reading the tilt of the phone, which I use with some of my paid for games.
So I flashed Beanstalk, and the installation seemed to work well, but on the reboot (after I had wiped before install and after, before rebooting) it gave error messages saying google services closed, and wizard closed. It gave me the option to report on both issues, but each time I closed one error window, the other would pop up, like in an endless loop. So, thankfully, reboot into recovery was a power button option in that rom (wish they all did that) and I then flashed back to CyanogenMod10.2. So I then decided to update Cyanogen to 12 via the built-in upgrade, and it also did the same thing, giving the same error messages in a continuous loop. So I finally was able to power up into recovery (for some reason, it seems to not work every time after shutting the phone off).
I am wondering if I can just flash back to the stock, and then debloat, or, better yet, can I just flash 4.1.2 to this device (I don't know if it ever had that OS) then root and debloat, as I do wish to use my wiimote. I have looked at the various methods to return to stock, but they seem to be quite confusing, as I don't read text-type very well, and most of the descriptions are typed this way. I would appreciate any assistance with getting these issues taken care of.
supersu unroot
Sorry for the double post, but I read that using supersu to unroot would brick the phone. Will this method simply return the phone to stock, or will it damage it?
Ok, so if I am understanding this correctly, to return an e390 to stock, you:
1. download and unzip the lg flashtool
2. download and install current lg drivers
3. download the dll and stock image
4. put phone into download mode and then plug into computer
5. run flashtool + make sure device manager port is com41
6. select dll and firmware, and finish
7. flash the modem-can this only be done with root?
What is step 7? Flash what modem?
Background Information:
I bought the LG G3 last on an AT&T Next 12 plan last July. I've unlocked the bootloader (via Bump), installed a custom recovery (TWRP), and flashed a custom ROM (CM12).
What I want to do:
Now that the OnePlus 2 is coming out, I am looking to upgrade. I can trade in the LG G3 and get a discounted rate on it, but in order to do that I would need to completely restore my LG G3 to the stock conditions that I received it in.
What I have already done:
I have already restored a backup from the original LG ROM and completely wiped the phone. I am now looking to remove the custom recovery (TWRP).
The Problem:
All of the online guides that I have looked at required me to put my phone into download mode. However, when I try to follow the steps to go into download mode, my phone won't do it. It simply starts up normally displaying LG splash screen and then after around 5 seconds just displays the current battery charge of the phone.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong or just completely missing? Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Are there any other ways to restore the stock LG recovery?
(Basically I'm trying to hid the fact that the phone was ever unlocked/rooted from AT&T)
Thank you and I appreciate any help that I can get,
That Android Guy
Your not doing it correctly
Look at some youtube guides on how to do it and then after youve kicked it into download mode follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/guide-att-lg-g3-to-stock-t2819541
And then after that OTA your phone to Lollipop and it should be all good

Ok, so I have looked up some youtube videos and followed them exactly as shown, to no avail. I have seen in a couple of the videos comments, however, that sometimes when being plugged into a USB 3.0 port, it doesn't work, therefore requiring a USB 2.0 port. The problem is is that my laptop, the HP Omen 15 only has USB 3.0 ports. So I am stuck on what to try now...
i tried installing the lastest ota update while i had twrp installed, i have tried everything to get out of this loop.

"https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-how-to-unroot-your-oneplus-3-and-go-back-completely-to-stock.456232/"
When you have TWRP you have to install full zip, not simply the eval OTA zip

Flash the stock recovery.
Get stock recovery from downloads.oneplus.net
I cant seem to flash the stock recovery. The device is not visible in adb devices or fastboot devices. im facing the same issue.
If you are using TWRP 3.0.4-0 - try a hard boot...hold down the power button for 20s...wait 20s, power it back on.

easy solution. Boot into fastboot
download this tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
if newest version isnt working, download an older version with older twrp
than unzip the tool and run the .bat file and install twrp.
Thats it
There are many posts on Nougat not working with official TWRP (based on 6.0 build). Try booting into stock recovery. performing a system settings reset, then booting into fastboot and run the adb command, <fastboot boot TWRP-3.0.2-1.28.img>. From there you can do virtually anything you need to do. I recommend at least using a modified version of TWRP (such as 1.28). This has been posted many times before, please try and do a search for the answers first, it will help tremendously. Thanks
recovery
i had the same problem on my rooted OP3 when i used TWRP 3.0.2-1 , it worked to flash the full 4.0.1 rom but failed for everything else, flashing latest verion of twrp fixed it for me
Got the same problem (unrooted phone + device state locked, cannot access recover, but can access fastboot) with an added "benefit", USB debugging mode was off before it all went crashing and burning.
How to access my phone via PC? (all the guides I've found assume I had USB debugging mode on before the phone got soft-bricked, but as a normal phone user who never installed anything custom, I've never figured it is A MUST BE ON function).
Or simpler question - what tool to use to turn on the USB debugging mode? (if that is at all possible?)

Noted that you solved your issue, but this post is about the new version of TWRP. Version 3.0.3 is available on twrp.me and it works with Nougat.

Gave up trying and booked a session with OP technicians Will see how it goes in a week.
Hey all; first post and 100% green with rooting. This is my first attempt and i'm hitting a stumbling block.
First off, I've been using the guide on "theandroidsoul"(can't post a link due to post count, but a quick google search should bring you to the exact one)
I have successfully setup ADB, unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.2.3-1 and have been able to boot into it using ADB.
However on step 10 of the guide i'm using, it's not too clear if i should skip formatting the device memory or go ahead and do it. I did it. I suspect this might be where i went wrong.
Regardless, i'm able to move Magisk onto the internal storage and TWRP is able to install it successfully.
Once i try to reboot, the "bootloader unlocked" warning screen shows, then the oneplus boot screen appears. It shuts down and reboots like this a second time, then the screen goes black and the front LED illuminates white and nothing happens. I can shut down the phone by holding the power button, then boot into fastboot manual using power + volume up. However if i try to boot the phone normally or boot into recovery mode, it repeats the same symptoms.
I'm unaware if I've soft or hard bricked the device. Like i mentioned i'm able to boot it into fastboot just fine and can get TWRP to come up with a boot command via ADB. But no matter how many times i try to install Magisk(I tried both v18 the guide mentions and the latest v19 from their site) i can't get it to boot.
I'm aware i also used an outdated version of TWRP(the one the guide mentions). i tried to flash twrp-3.3.0-1(latest version for dumpling) but cannot. I believe because a version of TWRP is already flashed on the device?
Can anyone help me out?
Hi all,
I'm facing the same issues as Josh and came seeking help, as well, so any help would be greatly appreciated! This is my first foray into Android coming from Windows 10 Mobile, which I'm still using two weeks after purchasing the 5T because of these issues. No matter what I do, I cannot get it to work and am now stuck in the same loop as mentioned above.
I'm attempting to install LineageOS and followed the instructions on its official site to a T, but have never been able to get it to boot into the OS. The only difference from the original poster's issue is that I'm not trying to root the device.
Thanks again for any help!

Hi, on my search how to flash TWRP revovery ROM I stumbled upon your post. With my first attempts, I did not even manage to get the official TWRP to run on my op5T - got always blue led - basically the same symptoms without trying to root. Meanwhile LOS works fine on my OP5T (I updated to the latest OOS then flashed and booted twrp-3.3.0-0-20190427-codeworkx-dumpling.img.).
ANYWAY my solution to unbrick and reinstall OxygenOS again was the...
... official unbrick tool - can be found in this forum when searching after (still cannot post links): OnePlus 5T Unbricking Tool
There is also another page here on the forum collecting different unbricking tools - although I am not aware how they are - since I used another source by googling for "How to Unbrick OnePlus 5T with OnePlus 5T Unbrick Tool (Unroot/Fix bootloop)".
Hope you get it running again, like I did.

Thank you. I'll give it a shot and will let you guys know how it works out!
Hello good people.
I know it is possible, because I did it somehow few days ago. But at the cost of broken ROM. After restoring the 8.1 working software, TWRP is gone. And I cant install it once more...
Is there anyone who managed to install TWRP on BV P10000 Pro, and can tell me how to do it?
I can't even boot to TWRP one time now...
All I can accomplish, is:
-Standard recovery (blue font)
-Standard recovery 2 (yellow and blue font) [reboot system now, reboot to bootloader, apply update from SD card, wipe data / factory reset etc...]
-Select Boot Mode: recovery / fastboot / normal
Since 2 days, I am not able to enter TWRP at all... Even if flashing by SP Flash Tool or ADB command are successful
Please, there are 2-3 threads about flashing it on this device, and none of them is working. But I know wI have managed to do it somehow 2 days ago... Any hints, how?
To make it easier - I have managed to install magisk and root my phone now. But still - TWRP wont show to me... Just no way to boot into TWRP. Please, any suggestions what I could do, to activate TWRP?... Please.... It is thrid day in a row when I am sitting by my PC, doing just that...
I am still lost... Please, can you provide working TWRP for BlackView P10000 Pro?... I know it is out somewhere, russian is default language.
Or is there any other way I can backup all my android as a image? Like in TWRP? I cant find any app for that... Thanks to a good-hearted person which can help me
So, there is no TWRP for this phone, and there is no way to backup / restore the system?... This brand is useless. Why no one is warning against BlackView phones? Great, I have just wasted my few months savings...
Yes I am also facing this issue I just wanna connect it with the blackview pleasehelp me to solve this issue any recommendation will be appreciated.
