Hi XDA, many threads here have helped me in the past so time to ask another (probably stupid) question. It's a bit of a long story so I apologise in advance.
I've been running CM (one of the nightly builds from about 3 weeks back, don't have the file so I can't say which) on my phone for a while with no issues until a couple of nights ago when it was overheating (charging while playing a game, stupid I know) so I decided to turn it off so it could cool down without taking it off charge.
The following morning I turn it back on to find that it's getting to the blue android head logo of CM and getting stuck there. First thing I do is reboot into TWRP and flash my backup from right after I installed CM. Reboot and... same result. Okay, no biggie right? Time to reinstall CM (the latest nightly build from yesterday) and Google Apps (nano package) via TWRP and reboot again. Still stuck at the blue android head logo. The reinstall was handled after using the Wipe-Factory Reset function of TWRP, as the guide here explains.
At this point I decide to do a bit of research and learn that it's called a softbrick or bootloop and apparently flashing the stock rom can fix it. The LG software suite won't even recognise the device but a friend of mine found this guide so I attempted to run through it. All goes well until it comes time for the software to connect to the phone - I pop it in download mode while putting the USB cable in, the program says waiting for connection, runs for 14 seconds and says it's trying to put the phone into download mode, at this point it fails saying the phone can't be put into download mode.
Some of the comments beneath the article offer fixes like using USB 2.0 instead of 3.0, putting the program into compatability mode for Win7 and running in administrator mode. To be thorough I tried every USB port on my machine (both 2.0 and 3.0) and run the program in compatability mode (with and without admin mode) for several versions of windows. Same result every time.
Another friend then suggests that somehow permissions got borked and it might be worth reflashing SuperSU to the system but at this point I'm at a loss for how to do that. I have the one click root script that I got from god knows where (not this one because that didn't work for me) that has a SuperSU zip in it, presumably it flashes that to the phone when it runs (found this out the hard way because I've been a moron in the past and tried installing SuperSU through TWRP and broke the boot previously, fixed by re-running the one click root script - this was ages ago before even installing CM.)
So right now I can put the phone into download mode manually, get into TWRP and use all its functions as well as connect to my PC and use ADB functions while the phone's in TWRP but can't boot into CM or flash a stock rom. Any help would be appreciated, I've spent a whole day reading guides, asking friends and clumsily trying to fix this only to get nowhere.
Have u tried installing the stock via TWRP? Via zip ... Wipe cache delvik also..

I haven't tried that, I didn't even know it was possible. Could you give me some more detailed pointers on how to do this? I noticed that the stock ROM I have cames as a .TOT file but CM is several files and folders in the zip. Will it install fine from that zipped up TOT file?
Thank you so much for your time.
When the rom is uploaded by the dev its also uploaded in .zip file place it ur system rom just go into twrp recovery flash the the zip file before flashing wipe cache n delvik too its easy as 1,2,3 search here on xda for ur compatible model

I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 (stable) installed; the other day it crashed while I was on Instagram, rebooted itself, and wouldn't go past the spinning circle screen. Tried rebooting it, now it won't go past the screen before that, with the blue Cyanogenmod man and the Samsung logo.
I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed with it, which I don't know how is possible being that the file systems are incompatible, so unless I used Odin to install CM10.1, I don't know how I did it without installing Clockworkmod Recovery over TWRP.
I've been trying to fix it for a couple days now (I'm kicking myself for not getting around to posting here sooner). When I go into TWRP it asks me for a password (which I've never set, I assume it's asking me because that's all it knows to do when the file system is incompatible), which I click cancel at every time, and when I try to do just about anything (including installing new ROMs or recoveries from within TWRP) it gets errors when trying to mount any partitions on the device, so I can't change anything on the phone at all.
I've tried re-installing TWRP AND Clockworkmod Recovery with Odin, and they succeed, but when the phone tries to reboot, the screen just turns off and nothing happens, and I have to take the battery out to do anything else.
So right now I'm totally screwed unless I can fix this thing. I'd like to not have to drop 200 on a Nexus 4 after only a year or having this phone I bought brand new, especially with the Nexus 5 already coming out later this year...can somebody help me???
EDIT: I should clarify that I can access recovery and download mode
If you can get into download mode you can flash a stock image to your phone and restart from scratch. Download the proper stock image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 and flash it in odin.

I should've clarified that I've tried this with a bunch of roms, and it just shows SBA2 in the status box forever. I left it for a full hour before and it never changed.
According to this page http://www.alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/bricked-android/ reformating your external sd card may help. It also links to something I personally have never heard of but apparently this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252 can help unbrick any samsung phone that's flashable with odin.
Hey, everyone!
So within the past week or two my stock standard HTC One X started playing up, which I'm pretty sure was a result of a recent system update (to 4.2.2, from memory). My 'twilight' app (similar to f.lux but for phones) started randomly turning on and off for no reason, the screen became very rapidly unresponsive unless a great deal of force was applied or the phone was repeatedly locked and unlocked, it began to heat up (even more so than normal), etc, etc. Yesterday the unthinkable happened: it got stuck in a bootloop.
So here's how I wound up where I am right now.
I came to terms with the fact that I was going to lose all of my data (at least Google has automatically backed up my images and videos every few days), and anyone important enough to me that I need their phone number I also have on facebook/google plus or see frequently enough in person that when the issue is resolved I can add their numbers again. So I performed a factory reset hoping that would fix the problem. It didn't. Today, at the behest of a friend of mine, I decided to flash a custom ROM on my phone in an effort to salvage what was increasingly likely looking to be a $600 paperweight. I've never done this before, so I followed the instructions in the following video exactly as shown, and downloaded the latest stable version of Cyanogen mod for the One X. The video can be found by googling, "HTC One X - How To Root (in-depth)". It's the first result.
Everything went... well, not smoothly. But I got there in the end. Eventually the phone rebooted, and the blue (or cyan, I suppose) Cyanogen mod logo came up with the circular loading symbol tracing around it. It stayed this way for some 30 minutes or so. I decided to reboot the phone. Same issue again. I performed a factory reset, cleared the cache, cleared the Dalvik cache, and rebooted again. Still wouldn't pass the booting process. I cleared everything a second time and even reinstalled the update.zip (which for some reason appeared as update.zip.zip in ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.2.7... I'm wondering if that caused some issue). Still no progress. Eventually, out of frustration, I began playing around with random settings within Clockwork Mod Recovery and tried backtracking a few steps computer-side in terms of the installation process, and somewhere along the way I've really F'd things up.
And here's the current situation.
Now, whenever the phone restarts the white HTC splash comes up, followed very quickly by a black screen which flickers momentarily, and then immediately jumps to ClockworkMod Recovery (v5.8.2.7).
Whereas earlier today both fastboot and adb recognised my device, now only fastboot will. I can't get anything to appear in the adb device list anymore. I'd prefer it if people didn't immediately scream, "DRIVER ISSUE!" considering adb worked for half of the day so it seems relatively unlikely to me that that's the problem.
My computer itself won't recognise that my phone is plugged in (probably because there's no OS anymore by the seems of things). I've tried two USB cables to no avail (the first worked earlier on this afternoon, so that shouldn't be an issue).
Within the 'choose zip from sdcard' section of ClockworkMod Recovery I can choose from (other than all of the files that were already in there):
CWN-SuperSU-v0.87.zip
update.zip.zip (the double file extension really bugs me)
'mount USB storage' within ClockworkMod Recovery gives me an erroy reading, E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di...) (runs off the screen, although presumably it just says no such file or directory exists).
I can't think of anything else that's relevant or would help troubleshoot this issue. If you need anymore info please just let me know and I'll do my best to supply it (you may have to lead me through the data acquisition process, however). I'm really hoping the phone isn't completely bricked because I don't exactly have the money right now to buy a new phone - I'm a uni student who only works part time and I just bought a car a few weeks ago. Bye bye, savings.
Regards,
Scott.
man, stupid question, did you flash the boot.img in the bootloader before or after flashing the rom?
if yes,
what cyanogen did you install?
cyanogen 10.2 should work with your recovery but cyanogen 11 needs a particular one
edit:did you make a backup (in the recovery) before flashing?
Want a working phone for now, follow this :
Download this recovery and flash it :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp21ubo10xetcvn/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Download a sense 5 rom like arhd or blade from the forum here. Copy the boot.img from the rom and flash that too. Then enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device and wait as long as it needs to pop up on the pc.
Copy the rom to the sdcard and then perform a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache, data and system
Then install the rom.zip and reboot.

I flashed SOME .img file, but not one called 'boot.img'. Can't remember when, unfortunately. If you find the youtube video I mentioned I followed that exactly.
No recovery unfortunately. I saw no point given that the phone was almost unusable in any form prior to me getting Cyanogen installed (it was constantly and randomly rebooting). Probably a mistake in retrospect.
Version 10.2, by the way.

Can you walk me through it step-by-step. Again, I'm a total noob to this and I DON'T want to stuff this up again. Is the fact that adb (or my PC in general) isn't recognising my phone going to make this difficult? I mean how am I meant to copy anything to the SD card if I can't access it through windows explorer or via adb push?!
You need fastboot. Rename my linked recovery to just recovery.img and flash it :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Flash the boot.img from the rom :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and follow earlier given steps

This seems to work at first - instead of jumping into ClockworkMod Recovery, after flashing the image file you gave me, it jumps into a new recovery mode. But after rebooting and going into recovery mode again it's back to ClockworkMod Recovery (I made sure to clear the cache).
You mean the old cwm. The new one is cwm based and looks just like it. If it's flashed it can't be gone without flashing something else as a recovery !

Oh. Well it looks different the first time I boot into recovery versus the second time (PhilZ Touch 5 with a distinct purple background the first time, but the second time it goes back to a black background with blue text).
Not really sure how to proceed from here. Battery is dropping fast (9%) despite being plugged in, so I'm worried if I don't fix this ASAP it'll be forever FUBAR.
The old one does not support charging. Try flashing philz again and keep it in there and charge it up as Philz does enable charging in recovery.
If you use Fastboot flash recovery command the old one is gone.....can't come back like that !

Mr Hofs, you sir are a gentlemen and a scholar! I have managed to get back to the initial bootscreen for Cyanogen mod. AND SUCCESS! IT JUST PASSED THAT SCREEN AS I WAS TYPING!
I am indebted to you, you glorious man! Thank you so very much I'll keep you guys posted (for better or worse)!
Hope it will be fine. I will keep an eye out here

So I tried updating the camera (?) as a suggested update after getting back into my phone, and it's already stuffed up again. It rebooted and said that root access has possibly been lost. What's happening now?
Doesn't appear to be a big issue for now, actually. Reset, not caused any problems since then! Managed to get google apps working, and downloaded a bunch of the apps I need All's well!
Thanks one again!
Alright ! Hope i don't see you here again
Hi all - I have been searching these threads for hours and hope I can bother for some assistance. I too have soft bricked, I went to install Android Revolution HD 33.1 but missed a step. I am currently Tampered, unlocked, and S-On. I have TWRP v2.5.0.0. When I mount the sd card in TWRP, and try to copy files over, I get a message from the PC to format the sd card - I didn't for fear of wiping out everything and hardbricking the phone. I am a noob when it comes to using commands/fastboot to copy files over. I am sorry to ask, but can someone please help me with exactly what to type?
Oh - and do I need to use philz recovery since I have TRWP installed and can access?

Im using Twrp and i have tryied a few zips for few roms i hit install and it dose some stuff then it fails, it keeps saying error flashing zip what is with the is phone its been giving me hell all day
First off, I tried twrp once, and since it made changes (overriding stock recovery) without my consent, i went back to CWM and will never look back. Are the zips you're trying to flash for your model of phone, e.g. takju, yakju, etc.? Who is your carrier? Have you checked your downloaded file hashes to make sure the downloads are good?
im used to the cwm, i tried the twrp because it was in the kit i hate it tho, how do i get rid of it, ive been trying to flash the toro as my phone is on verizon, i downloaded a few on the phone on my pc, from here from the unlockr, i been trying to figure this thing out
Had the same issue with TWRP. I really liked a lot of the things that set it apart from CWM, but the darn thing just flat out refused to install anything I threw at it.
First off, you'll want to make sure you have adb and fastboot set up on your computer and know how to run them. There are some great guides out there to get you started if you need. Then if you want to get CWM installed, download the appropriate version from their download site. Plug your phone into your computer and boot it into fastboot, then you can use the "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img" on your computer to install the CWM recovery image.
Ok, I was using the all in one took kit because this phone is different and it seems to make the job ten times harder, I managed to get to cmw on my phone but i still can not get the zip to flash, I would know how to work fast boot once i get it opened up ive used it quite a few times, ive gotten my roms from the site so i am pretty sure they are good i actual put the zip on the phone too to makes use it wasn't the cable or the phone being unplugged so do is there any other suggestions
anybody know what to do im stumpped

Hi people,
Today I unlocked my Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus and installed latest twrp recovery 3.3.1 successfully(no errors until now, butter smooth). After that I flashed "CARBON-CR-7.0-OPAL-RELEASE-z2_plus-20200122-0608" without installing GApps. This time the ROM booted successfully. I was able to use the phone and make calls.
Then I installed the GApps " open_gapps-arm64-9.0-stock-20200131.zip" downloaded from OpenGApps.org. This time around, when I booted after installing GApps, the phone showed the welcome screen, but got suddenly turned off. After that the phone just shows ZUK logo and keeps rebooting.
To fix this, I went to recovery again, wiped clean DATA & DALVIK CACHE & CACHE & SYSTEM & VENDOR partitions, hoping I would start from the beginning and again install only ROM and not GApps and hoping I would be able to use the phone.
Now this time around, even though I wiped every partition that TWRP shows, the phone just kept rebooting without starting Android OS. So I cleaned again everything using TWRP(cleaning DATA procedure) and then transferred ROM zip files to phone and again flashed only ROM. Still the phone kept rebooting.
Now I got pissed off. I flashed factory ROM using QFIL method. This time after the boot animation it went straight to "Shutting Down" dialogue and again the phone restarted.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS EXACTLY WRONG WITH MY PHONE?
WHAT COULD HAVE GONE WRONG THAT EVEN AFTER CLEANING ALL THE PARTITIONS AND FLASHING USING THE FACTORY PROCEDURE, THE PHONE STILL KEEPS REBOOTING?
Is there any other partition that needs to be cleared(which the TWRP does not list)?
Can somebody just tell me how to get out of this?
(Please explain the steps and the reason for each, as I am a noob in this matter).
WAITING FOR ANYBODY'S PROMPT RESPONSE AS MY PHONE IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
what ZUI version you flashed with QFIL ?

I again flashed the Stock ZUI 2.5. ST ROM using QFIL. But before doing this I had moved the SIM Card to another fone, so this fone was without any connection. This time the fone booted up successfully. Then I reflashed the Carbon ROM mentioned before and flashed Flame GApps Basic edition as suggested by you. This time the fone booted up successfully. But as soon as I connected the fone to internet, it downloaded something from Google Play Services in the background and again it started the same problem.
SO BASICALLY WHEN IT DOWNLOADS SOMETHING FROM GOOGLE IN BACKGROUND, IT STARTS THE REBOOTING NONSENSE.
I searched the internet for this and some articles on the internet suggested that "Google Dialer" component is causing reboot. Those articles suggested that if the "Google Dialer" is not set as the default dialer, it reboots. BUT HOW TO SET IT AS DEFAULT, WHEN IT STARTS REBOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND IT DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH TIME?
EVEN THE EARLIER GApps 9.0 stock package that I flashed had warned to set the "Google Dialer" as default, but upon boot up it kept rebooting.
Even initially I started this UNLOCKING AND CUSTOM ROM FLASHING exercise after the factory ROM started rebooting after updating "Google play services".
So this seems to me an issue from Google.
Has Google done this on purpose to make people switch older phones to new ones?(Because I own a total of 3 android devices and only this device is rebooting not the other ones).
Looking forward to your reply.
Greetings Buddy..how's life going??
Ok once again I hv read ur op regarding ur problems. Let's start from the beginning. Boot up to twrp and format the data first before wiping everything. Try flashing lineageOS 16 using official gapps. (Flash gapps along with the flashing ROM, same time. Because flashing gapps after ROM's 1st reboot may result synchronise error or sometime bootloop). If successful, then flash ur carbon ROM and see whether it boots up to normal or still gives such error.
BTW sorry for my late replies. Till then peace out

I am now not able to boot any ROM. Just keeps rebooting after the ZUK splashscreen. Hence, I again reflashed the Recovery properly, using the procedure as before. Now I am not able to boot into the recivery, too.
I need to install Lineage OS on this phone.
After multiple tries several months apart, I am still not in success.
Followed all internet tutorials and sites.
I don't want to install any G apps or any special root-things like magdisk..
I only want pure Lineage OS without any extra applications.
Way I tried and probably ended up like before:
Get newest official samsung ROM installed, update, enable usb debigging and oem, go download mode and go factory reset, get back in, sign in to wifi again, again enable develop. settings and usb debugging, go into download mode, take odin and install through the AP option the TWRP now that the phone is in download mode a 3rd time, supposed to be possible now with OEM unlock.
Most of the names on the way I don't understand, just follow tutorials.
I need to get to TWRP to then finally, as used to always, install Lineage from zip.
But I never get rebooted into TWRP recovery, just forver the samsung one, even when firmware is no longer there - after flashing in ap option the twrp tar again it never boots into TWRP afterwards.
Is there something else i must do? is not getting into oem unlock and flashing TWRP enough to get there?
And after, will the zip install finaly get me to have lineage installed?
Did you try the official guide?

I hope I picked the right phones, otherwise check devices overview.

PS: Usually LOS doesn't do TWRP anymore but comes with its own recovery (a/b)
Why they don't do TWRP now?
I saw TWRP tuorial fot s10 on tutorials and it worked
Do I have to give up on TWRP way and od it with the adb commands from PC

It's because of this new double recovery scheme:

EOD: It's safer, updating happens in the background, then just a quick reboot et voila.

Yes, it's still there but perhaps you post a link to your guide (or ask there). To me it seems you had TWRP just in your RAM but not your phone?
As for me, I finally gave up on TWRP and use the "crappy" LOS recovery Have way more important things to waste my time on...
PS: Sorry to bring such "bad" news, wasn't too happy with that change myself
Great, I finaly made it work.
I followed the site with turotial on installation and did not try TWRP
First I had to install samsung ROM again
It turned out to still stay unlocked so went straight to download mode and this time flashed Lineage recovery sucesfuly with heimdall
Then it booted up and a half samsung sreen made it seem like there is trouble
but Lineage recovery launched
The adb load from PC did not work so i chose to instal zip from SD even there
Now Lineage is installed
Still don't know how much is randomness, luck and so on
But it's done and hopefuly repeatable

Well, most of times: Far too often I forget some little prerequisite, too... so started a little text file with steps/reminders.
