Hey I got a "system update" last night and once it was applied my gpad restarted in TWRP. It will not boot up into the OS.
I am running a rooted gpad with twerp and bone stock LG android(no custom rom of any sort)
I have looked into XDA and found similar threads but for the G2, to my understanding they are very similar in many ways but I would like to confirm that the solution I found is ok for the gpad or if there is another workaround:
If you have ADB access, plug in your phone and run this:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.(<- what is the reboot command btw?)
It also gives a solution without ADB but it doesn't concern me. Does anyone know if this procedure can be followed for the Gpad as well? is there something that must be altered?
Thank you for your patience
Will not hurt to try
The comand is:
Adb reboot

guess so, thing is I have no idea what this code means and if its device specific to the G2. Just in case this makes more of a mess. Also wondering if flashing a custom rom on top would fix it
Thats no code thats only adb comands
U can try it with zero to no hurt
And yes flashing custom or even just wiping data would do the trick

appreciate your help I'll give it a try in a couple of hours n report back bed time for me
if you ve got official rom with root or custom recovery OTAs wont work and they ll semibrick the gpad like in your case. The safe methods i know is either using lg mobile support tool to go back to full stock or flash a custom rom via the twrp.

Right cause I dont like the ADB method I have tried:
Factory reset-Didnt work
Full wipe (dalvic etc ) -Didnt work
Tried to install a stock based rom(forgot the name)-Did not work
I'll try 1 more rom and then if that doesnt work I'll try the ADB business and if that doesnt work try to revert back to bone stock
okay guys this is getting frustrating nothing works.
I downloaded the drivers for the gpad again, and I tried to use the lg software to flash stock recovery, but it wont find my device. has anyone experienced something similar or knows how to resolve this its getting really frustrating.

I needed to be in download mode to be reconized by LG Mobile Support Tool (I downloaded and installed different versions of LG Mobile drivers too many times before to do the the right thing)
To enter download mode :
1. Turn off the tablet. (from TWRP menu )
2. Push vol+ and vol- same time. (both buttons + don't relase)
3. Insert usb cable (both buttons still pressed)
4. A small image DOWNLOAD MODE not so visible should appear on the tablet
5. Release both buttons.
LG Mobile Support Tool reconized my tablet and I could start the recovery (still waiting 1.5Gb to be downloaded)

It does work in the solution given without adb, from TWRP itself. Just tried it, no data loss, no computer needed.
Hello,
So yesterday I've tried switching my firmware from CN to WW. So I installed the last firmware update wich was not similar to the version I had to my Recovery firmware. I wasn't paying attention at all! Once the update was installed, my phone booted normaly, everything was working fine and all my apps were still installed and working as well. So, I decided to factory reset the device so I can get the Google Apps installed in the system. Once I did that, it got stuck in the data erasing. Kept loading for ever and the only thing I could see is the Android Logo.
Is there any way to unbrick my phone? and fix this issue? Please help me out
I can't connect with ADB and I can't get into recovery, but fastboot works fine. Any suggestions?
When I was in a bootloop I did that and that's worked :
Try to :
1) Download "CWM Zenfone_2_Intel"
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/w70w7r1a65840/Zenfone_2
Then unzip
2) Go in fastboot mode in your Zenfone 2, and connect it to your PC
3) In the downloaded folder, run "cai_dat_CWM.bat"
4) Type ACCEPT
Then Enter
5) Then if the script is blue, that's perfect. Type T4, Enter, and normally your Zenfone will reboot in CWM Recovery Mode.
6) If that worked, download the ROM stock on the Asus Website, copy it on the SD Card, then flash it from the CWM Recovery Mode.
This method fix my bootloop, but a brick I don't know...
If it didn't work, try to install "15 seconds adb installer"

Omg the custom recovery worked. How did I think of that haha! Thank you. One more question, how to flash the ROM Stock through CWM recovery? Do I just choose install from zip?
Normally yes

I did that but my phone got stuck on "Updating IFWI"
Keep in mind that my phone is CN, but I flashed the recovery a long while ago to WW, so I downloaded a WW firmware. And both recovery and firmware version is WW-2.17.40.12
That shouldn't be a problem I guess?
That I don't know sorry... CN, WW, that's not my thing...

I, for some reason managed to get to the recovery mode! Lol, my phone is being crazy now. Anyway, I tried installing the rom from adb sideload but I always have this problem, even before that my phone was bricked.
It keeps saying :
loading "rom.zip"
* Cannot read "rom.zip" *

Ok no problem man! Thanks for trying to help.
What about the problem that I mentioned earlier? Any idea how to fix?
I cannot sideload through adb sideload command
Did you try with the CN firmware?

FRENCH POWAA !
I have searched and i havent find a solution
I updated, im on OOS 4.0 with F2FS everything smooth and nice.
After setting up i try to flash twrp and once i boot into it it ask me for a password wich isnt the one i put.
I saw some people are in the same problem as i but i didnt see anything taht could help me at all.
I tried with the modified twrp, same thing,
I just want to get it root, any solutions?
Thanks
Well, I managed to get OOS4 with root and data partition as F2FS.
I followed this procedure and worked out just great ! https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...g-dm-verity-error.484019/page-2#post-15558781
Not sure if you can skip some of the steps but right now I have OOS4, with root and TWRP (modified) working and capable of decrypting !
You are encrypted.. Decrypt flash Oos 4.0 directly after that flash SuperSU. I do recommend you using freedomos

I do recommend you to wipe userdata then install freedomOS. (you can choose what you want and what you dont want with freedomos)
1. Boot your device into fastboot
2. Go to your Adb drivers and type "fastboot erase userdata"
3. Once that completed adb push the freedomos zip file. I do recommend 3.4 based on OOS 4.0 or you can do what ever you like. Note: to use adb push I do recommend you to put the install zip in the same folder as the adb drivers then type "adb push NAME_OF_ZIP.zip(or just press tab) /system/
4. If you go to TWRP you will find the installation zip under the folder system.
5. Once that's done boot and profit.

It does not require USB OTG. I managed to get it to work without. Just format Data to F2FS and reboot the phone in recovery.
You can then via MTP easily transfer the files and flash in TWRP.

Don't! Do not use MTP the chance of corrupted files is to big, thats why Adb has been designed!
I found 2 versions of the instruction about going back from custom ROM to stock OxygenOS. First one tells about ADB commands which results with full stock, with standard recovery, unrooted system and locked phone. The second one is shorter, it's just flashing official zip with TWRP.
So my question is: Am I "losing something" after going with the second option, I mean TWRP-way? As I understand the only difference is that I'll keep TWRP itself and my phone will still be unlocked, when everything else will be ok (official camera firmware, kernel, etc.).
Thank you in advance for the answer if I'm wrong
The official zips in most cases also erase your twrp recovery and you will end up with the stock recovery and unlocked bootloader
I'm also thinking about going back to Oxygenos. But haven't done it. Looking for answers for you question.
Besides, could you please give me the link for the first method? Thanks
It's like flashing any other Rom? You clean flash by wiping everything (except Internal) and flash the OxygenOS you want (plus SuperUser).
Heres what you gonna do
Download oos full zip
Flash it on twrp then after that dont do a reboot just flash twrp as recovery then reboot to recovery and then reboot to system
If you wanna lock the bootloader and stay fully stock ( this will wipe your whole phone so backup )
Then flash oos full zip through twrp then reboot to bootloader
Then sideload oos recovery
Then go back to bootloader and relock bootloader thats it

You want to ADB push?
Go to OnePlus site. There you have step by step instructions.

I want to keep twrp and stay unlocked
1. flash the oos full zip
2. reboot to fastboot mode and flash twrp
3. go to twrp and reboot to system
Is this right?
Besides, I'm using twrp 3.0.4-1. Does it matter?

I clean flashed the full zip. When I try to boot to bootloader, it didn't enter bootloader mode. The system boots, and it's been showing boot animation for more than ten minutes. I'll wait patiently.
BTW, how do you flash twrp while you are in twrp?

Force shutdown the device and entered fastboot, flashed twrp recovery. And now twrp asks me to input password to decrypt data. I have no idea about what the password is. I also got dm-verity error after flashing the full zip. Help needed.

I did a factory reset in twrp, and the system boots well. But unfortunately I lost all my data. Factory reset also formats internal storage?
I have all my photos backed up in google photos. The only loss is the image quality is not original. Anyway it's not end of the world.
