Hi, my phone worked fine until i messed up something with twrp restore function. Phone keeps entering in twrp recovery, even if i select reboot in to system or a bootloader. Now i cant boot into a system or bootloader, i re-flashed ROM but same result. What can i do?
Did you S-OFF your phone?
Try to remove SD card and boot again. Try few times. There's something wrong with twrp. I had the same problem once. I tried few times to remove sd card, power down in twrp, I tried to boot into bootloader from power down etc. I had this issue few times and always my phone finally boot up. You can try it...
Or u can always install stock recovery...

I got a little problem here
I was playing Angry Birds today when everything just froze.. touching would do nothing.. side buttons/power button wouldn't do anything.. not even haptic feedback on the touch buttons or whatever.. This had happened to me before, and the phone would restart itself, blabla, everything would be cool again.
Not this time!!
I turn my phone on but the boot (HTC) screen will stay on for a few minutes.. then goes black, and then vibrates and starts again.
At first I thought this was a problem with my ROM (CM7 Stable), so I tried going to the bootloader menu. It came up, but was unresponsive. I try and try again but only some times will it actually be functional, and even then, when I try to go into recovery, the boot screen stays stuck.
How ****ed am I?

Not much at all. If you can get to the white screen and to the boot loader, it can be fixed. Do you still have your recovery installed? Try holding the volume button down while booting and see if it goes into recovery. If so, you can restore the NAND back up you are supposed to have done. If it goes into a black screen with a red triangle, your recovery is gone and you have to reflash it via the boot loader by getting a flashable zip file on your SD card and naming it "PC36IMG.zip". (Make sure you do not add ".zip" to the end of the file name, or it will be named "PC36IMG.zip.zip" and will not be recognized by the boot loader.)
Amon RA recovery zip file can be downloaded here ready to go: http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
If you do not have a NAND back up, just try wiping the cache and dalvik cache and try booting again. If that doesn't work, you may need to reflash your rom as if it was a new install and start over.
Worse case scenario, run the latest RUU and start over from stock.
Edit: If you did create a NAND that you want to restore, and you created it with Clockwork recovery, you will need to flash that recovery and not the one I linked to you in order to restore it.
If you're able to flash amon RA via the bootloader, I suggest you then download and reflash the hboot from within recovery. You can download it from the link below.

I can't flash the HBOOT, it says to reflash the kernel afterward but I'm on CM and don't have the flashable kernel on my sd card
Plus, after a little bit of being inside recovery, the phone blacks out and tries to boot. Something tells me it's some freak hardware issue...
Hey all, got a problem. I wanted to reflash MIUI after problems with the music player, so I rebooted into recovery (just flashed) and ran SuperwipeG2+ by guhl. Problem arise here. The zip runs fine, wiping everything, and when it goes to reboot...It gets stuck on the HTC logo. So I try to manually get back to recovery through holding down+power and I figure out I didn't take my old PC10IMG.zip off of my phone, so it wants to update, and won't let me into recovery. I tried just turning it on, but just the HTC logo. Any help? I just need to get to recovery so I can flash my MIUI rom zip.
Which CWM are you running?
Happened to me tonight. You have to take that PC10IMG.zip off. I had to use my wife's phone and put my miniSD card in it and deleted it.
Alternatively, use a miniSD - SD adapter and remove it.
Then I was able to boot into the bootloader, hit recovery, and reflash.
Good luck!

Sounds like you have v5 of CWM, manually flash v3 via fastboot.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Take the PC10IMG.zip off your SDcard then try to manually boot to recovery. Once in either restore a nandroid or try to flash the ROM again.
Hello everyone. I was attempting to install the Liquid Smooth 3.0 Beta ROM but it said failed in red words. So i wiped again and installed my backup. Its been stuck in boot loop. I've looked and can't seem to find how to enter recovery mode. I tried holding power + volume up + home and it just restarts the phone before it gets to the boot loop screen. Also, once I get in recovery mode, what would be the next step to fix the boot loop? Right now im reinstalling the ROM I had on backup (intergalactic) . Or should I wipe and re-install the backup?
Thanks
EDIT: Found the combo ( Volume up + home ). Now restoring my backup. If this doesn't fix the bootloop what should I do? Also when I mount my USB in recovery it doesn't show up on my computer.

If you get to recovery mode, try doing a hard wipe/reset to return your phone to its original settings. You will lose all saved data so please keep your backup. Your phone may not be recognized by the computer in recovery mode but in download mode. Are you using custom recovery or stock recovery? If custom, which one?

Hello. How do I Hard Reset? I am using TWRP recovery mode. I've tried download mode and still not recognized. I also downloaded the latest driver.

Good! With TWRP, you will see the wipe option on the home screen immediately you get into recovery mode. Just do the standard wipe and then reboot to system.

Sometimes, it may take several minutes after the reset for your phone to finally boot up so you may have to wait a bit before deciding it didn't work. However, do you recall what (stock) Android version you had before you attempted to flash the custom ROM?

Before I rooted? I was Jelly Bean 4.1.2 I think. But I flashed many Custom ROMs, the last one was 4.3 . The one I was installing was 4.4.2. But I dont think thats the problem, It just said failed to flash. And the back up restore was successful, just a boot loop. If I could get my computer to recognize my phone I could put my original ROM download in and flash that.

Normally, if it was just a case of your phone getting stuck in a boot loop, a hard wipe/reset will fix that. If it's still not coming on, then it could be a slightly more severe case of firmware failure which, thankfully, can be easily recovered from since you can get into download and recovery modes. Your best option now would be to flash an official (stock) ROM to get your phone back in working order. From what you've said about the firmware history, stock Android 4.3 would be your best bet as you probably have the 4.3 boot-loader already. You can download the zip file you will find in the discussion thread below and flash this via TWRP recovery. The process is fairly simple. Download the zip file to your PC - do not extract. Verify the MD5. Copy to a micro SDHC card. Place the card in your phone. Boot to recovery mode. Select install and navigate your way to the zip file you just copied. Swipe across the screen to confirm installation. Wait for installation to complete. Clear your cache/dalvik. Reboot your system. Good luck!

Before flashing custom ROMs, it is always helpful to do a lot of research as there is no easier way to brick or backdoor your phone.
NB
You need a special app to verify MD5. It's just a check to ensure you have the correct file and it downloaded correctly. If you do not have the app, check that the zip you have is about 933MB after download.

Which do I download? First or second link? Also How should I get my computer to recognize my phone? And if I do that, flashing a fresh ROM wont fix the boot loop?

You need the first one since you are on TWRP. You are not connecting your phone to the computer at all so there is no worry about that. You only need to download the image to your computer and then copy it to an external Micro SD card using another device like a camera, phone, SDHC card reader/writer or SDHC card adapter if your PC has the required slot. Once you have the recovery image saved on to the external SD card, insert the card into your phone and boot into recovery mode. You will then install the zip from the card. This ROM should not only fix the boot loop, it will restore your phone to as near factory settings as possible including resetting your flash counter, installing the complete stock system and stock recovery.
Once you have your phone back in working order, you can revert to flashing custom ROMs but please be very careful and do all the research you need. Specifically, you should avoid any ROMs that may attempt to mess with your boot-loader.

Thanks for your help! That was a great idea, moving my SD card to a different device then putting the .zip in there and flashing from my device. Worked Perfectly. Didn't even have to use the restore file you linked me, I just re-flashed the old ROM i was using ( brand new, not the back up ). And its starting up now, all of my apps, widgets, wallpapers, and messages are exactly how I left them. Which is weird because of how many times I wiped and the fact that I re-flashed a brand new ROM lol.
Man this makes me not want to change ROMs anymore. Small stuff like this makes me paranoid. I don't have a back up phone lol

Glad to know your phone is now functioning normally. One of your earlier restore operations probably restored your data whilst the new ROM you flashed restored the system without deleting data. Thankfully, you didn't lose anything. Now the phone is back to normal, please be careful with flashing ROMs especially custom ones.
I was fooling around with my phone and decided to try to update to MM. I downloaded the update to my sd card and fastbooted into stock recovery. I selected apply update from sd card and then selected the update file. It stuck on verifying update package for about 40 minuets at which time I was thoroughly pissed and pulled the battery. It booted into twrp when I restarted it. I selected one of my backups which twrp said was installed successfully. When I reboot it comes right back to twrp every time. what can I do to fix this.
Edit: Twrp is permanently installed on my phone, the use of stock recovery was a one time deal.
My Phone: ZE551KL-ZOOTD
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader unlocked: Yes
You stopped it mid-install... 40 minutes is not a long time. Rule number one of updating firmware, ALWAYS let it finish.
You've corrupted the system and probably boot. You'll need to download and reflash system through ADB.

First you said you use stock recovery. And then you said it reboots into TWRP. Which one is it?

Twrp is installed on my phone. I used fastboot to temporarily boot into stock recovery using the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" where the stock recovery is in my adb and fastboot folder. After I pulled the battery and restarted the phone it booted into twrp and that is where I am now
The problem has been solved. Apparently Twrp handles the factory reset differently than the stock recovery. I tried the factory reset in Twrp two or three times with no luck. I figured what the hell, before I wipe the everything and reinstall I would give stock recovery a try.
Fastbooted stock recovery, wiped the cache, did a factory reset, and when I rebooted my phone had been magically restored. I don't know how to delete this thread so if the moderators will, delete it. Thanks
hi i have a same problem . im stuck in my twrp . i already have a custom rom. but accidentally wipe my fone using restore factory data after that istuck on twrp.. i dnt have idea what should i do . i already put another custom rom but nothng happens still in twrp after rebooting.. btw im using asus zenfone 2 laser z00ld.. thank you plss help me
Fix for bootloop in twrp
Had the same issue earlier than i came to this simple trick(by experimenting).
Follow the steps:
1. Extract the boot.img from any rom zip file you have.
2. Move that boot.img to memory card and plug that memory card to the phone having reboot problem.
3. Now boot in twrp and click install--> image--> and locate the boot.img file in memory card.
4. Finally select boot option in twrp install screen, and finally slide to install.
Hope it will fix ur problem. Cant post the link. I am new to xda so.
I was trying to instill xposed so I could fix my sd card for twrp. I'm running the stock rom 5.1. Now I'm at a lose the phone won't stop boot loading. I can't put anything on the sd card cause twrp won't see it. If I go into recovery and hook it to the computer. The computer won't see the phone? I thought about just reloading the rom through obin, but will I brick the phone in the process? I have already rooted and unlocked the bootload. Pleaae help thank you

I'd boot into recovery and wipe all applicable (Dalvik,Art Cache, system, data , cache, and storage) twice to rule out any further corruption then reboot into DL mode and Odin back to stock . if u have no way to push a zip to the phone I don't see what other option you have and no you won't brick with Odin as long as your flashing stock Samsung firmware
