I've recently tried to update my radio and bootloader to the latest versions, i was on a custom rom (7.1.1), I've updated the bootloader and radio via fastboot and wiped the cache then rebooted then my phone was stuck in a never ending boot and all is saw was the boot animation, i decided to reboot the phone so i held the power button until it restarted and to avail, the same thing happened. I rebooted to twrp and tried to wipe the cache and dalvik/ART cache and i got an error that it cannot be mounted and the partition size was at 0mb and twrp could not repair it either, and it could not format any of my partitions, so i tried to return to stock and i tried to flash the images from the stock .zip provided by google and it said that it could not load any images. I can access download mode and twrp, any solutions? (someone said to flash the vendor image after flashing both the radio and bootloader images? could that have cause my problem because it did not flash it?
i was on the latest vendor already)
thanks.
EDIT: after continuously trying to wipe the cache & dalvik/ART cache in twrp it worked and it recognized the partitions and it wiped and my device was able to boot, i'm not sure what caused the problem but it boots properly now, although i'm not sure if i can flash in fastboot again, otherwise it works.

I now cannot get into an operating system. The device loads FFF 1.4a says "booting" goes blank for a little while then comes back to the 1.4a screen and says "booting" again and loads up TWRP. This is how I got to this point:
I recently decided to go from an older CM7 rom to a new jb one.
Because I had an older version of FFF and had a CWM recovery, I downloaded the new version of FFF (1.4a) and the newest version of TWRP (2.2.0) (flashable zip file) as well as the new jellybean rom and jb gapps. I checked all md5s prior to doing anything.
I booted into recovery and created a backup in CWM. I then cleared cache and Davlic cache and installed FFF 1.4a. I then rebooted to CM7. After loading CM7, I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and davlic cache and installed TWRP 2.2.0. I then rebooted into CM7, rebooted into recovery. I then cleared cache, davlic cache, factory reset, and wiped system. I then installed CM10 and jb gapps and attempted to reboot to system, but have not ever been able to get there.
I have tried installing the CM7 rom I had before, no difference, CM9 rom, no difference. I tried to use a recovery file I had, still no good.
Adb does not seem to behaving properly as well. I can't seem to be able to get the device into fastboot mode for one. In TWRP I can see the device as the following:
4B8E000600000001 recovery
when I try to change the bootmode, this is how it behaves:
adb shell
~ # <-[6n idme bootmode 4002
/sbin/sh: idme: not found
KFU also seems to not be much help at changing the bootmode. I have tried older version as sited elsewhere (0.9, 0.3), but these fair no better.
Also, In my haste and desire to get this working I thought,"maybe there is some conflict with the sd card", so I wiped that only to realize while wiping that I never backed up my recovery files, "doh!".
Also, I have full battery.
I am a noob, so I could have done anything wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
When you get to the bootloader screen select boot normal in the boot menu by quickly depressing your power button a few times if it does not boot normal then flash the bootloader again in recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632375 also you will have to mount your sdcard in twrp to do so make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then mount transfer 1.4a bootloader a new ROM and gapps then unmount flash bootloader reboot it get back to twrp wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe system flash ROM flash gapps select reboot if prompted select system see where your at after that

Thanks for this as well, did not see this information anywhere else.

Yep, it was a bad FFF flash. All good now. Thanks for the help.
Im in desperate need of help.
My one X randomly locked up and on a hard reboot (held power button) it now no longer boots to CM, instead it boot loops.
On booting to recovery (CWM) I was presented with a black screen. So using fastboot I was able to flash TWRP 2.4.0.0 and successfully boot to it.
It opens with a password prompt to which I can click cancel and get to the options. This is where it complains things get complicated :/
If I try to wipe anything:
E: error unable to mount '/cache'
It will do the same with /data and /system.
adb sideload so far has failed me,
failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
It seems once one attempt fails the phone seems to go into some locked status until the battery is fully drained and recharged. Which makes everything so long and tedious to troubleshoot.
adb push cm.zip /sdcard returns an error. But this is all in vain as I have cm10.1 on the /sdcard but twrp fails to flash it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ive been without internets at work for days now :crying:
bump.
Update your twrp to latest 2.7 or whatever its near the top in development thread. Then fastboot erase cache, flash boot image for desired ROM fastboot erase cache, boot to recovery flash ROM then gapps, wipe davlic and cache, enjoy..

Brilliant mate. There was an option in 2.7 to repair the partitions. I had to set /data back to ext4 (even though it said it already was) then repair the partition, and voila. Its all working again
Hi all,
yesterday I tried to install LineageOS on my LG G4 H815. After booting in TWRP i wiped 'Cache', 'System' and 'Data' as suggested in the LineageOS guide. After that I accidentally rebooted and now I'm stuck.
If I try to boot in recovery mode again I don't get into TWRP but I get in the stock recovery where I can only choose to Factory Reset the phone. Tried to do so doesn't work since I wiped everything before.
These are the steps I made to get there:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-1.1.1-1-g4.img
Then I tried to boot in recovery mode using power and volume button but I got into the stock recovery instead of TWRP, so I rebooted in fastboot and then
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-1-g4.img
Once I got there I wiped cache, system, data and rebooted.
Is there any way to boot into TWRP?
Excuse me for my english and thank you.
After flashing the Syberia 9.0 rom into my mix 2, my phone stuck in the fastboot mode. Every time I tried to reboot my phone, my phone will go right into the fastboot mode. I could get into the TWRP, and I perform the 'wipe' serval times.
This is what happens on my phone:
wipe the system---- flash the rom ------ reboot ----- fastboot mode
I don't know what happens with my phone. Pls help me guys:crying:
Could I try to use the official miui fastboot update via the mi flash?
Try installing again with "Clean Flash". Wipe System, Cache/Dalvik and format Data (don't wipe data).
Backup your data first, because your data will destroy.
I believe you should already have the ROM, Firmware and Gapps into internal storage.
Now boot to recovery.
Wipe Data (if u are decrypted, format data)
But be aware that formatting Data means that you have to again copy everything back to internal storage using adb. So my advice is to just wipe and see if that works out.
Install Firmware, ROM and Gapps zip.
Order of installation should be same.
Reboot - 1st boot may take some time.
Hello.
Tried flashing older stock rom via TWRP.
TWRP installed fine, worked fine, flashed vbmeta, still everything worked.
Downloaded ROM, put it into the sd card, went into twrp, formatted data, rebooted into twrp again, wiped Dalvik/ART cache, cache, system, vendor and internal memory, tried flashing, gave error 7, with "mkdir folder file not existing or whatever". In twrp i went into terminal, made a directory /cache/recovery, tried flashing, worked. Wiped dalvik and when i tried to reboot, the backlight turns on for a split moment and then it turns off.
Recovery does the same, and fastboot lights up the screen with the image of fastboot but it turns off. Plugging it with the usb makes it so it repeatedly turn on backlight and off again.
What does this mean? Device dead? Any help?
Thank you.
Maybe try flashing a custom rom
With what tools if I may ask? Any advice you can give me?
Fastboot doesn't stay on like it should, the screen just flashes the fastboot picture and it restarts again. Recovery does the same.
Try following bliss rom guide with installation of twrp
Trying to do anything with ADB tools just gives me a "< waiting for any device >".
I'm sure there's other ways of flashing twrp

i think it's dead
-when the twrp gave you the error you should log it
-you should format data after flashing a rom ,not before (and only few roms require it)
your only option is flash VBMETA then TWRP again and see if it work
use the unofficial twrp : (3.3.10)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ecovery-unofficial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3997267
You should have formatted data partition after flashing the rom(not manually create those folders). You would be okay.
Any solution?
