Hey guys,
Long time lurker, ROM user since the Galaxy S days.
Weird, intractable bootloop problem here. Gets to boot animation sometimes gets to the "upgrading android" screen, then bootloops in a few seconds after upgrading a few apps. Usually bootloops during the boot animation (doesn't matter what ROM or Stock ROM I try). Ocassionally gets to my "SIM PIN" screen, then reboots before I have a chance to enter anything.
Normal State have Cyanogenmod and Franco Kernel running buttery smooth. (CM10.1M3 Snapshot + Franco 376 when problem started)
Problem Started When I tried to update CM to the new RC1 from the Cyanogenmod upgrade button in "settings". I had SuperSU installed overtop the built-in superuser. Everything was working fine.
What I have tried:
Have latest CWM: Have flashed, reflashed, wiped and re-wiped everything imaginable through CWM. All Caches, system sdcard, you name it, if it's an option in CWM I have tried formatting or wiping it and reflashing a ROM.
ROMs I have tried - CM10.1M3 Snapshot, CM10.1RC1 CM10.1RC2, ParanoidAndroid 3.5+ (Latest), Bigxie Maguro Latest.
Finally I got fed up and decided to go back to STOCK, unrooted, unlocked using fastboot.
I did:
> fastboot erase boot
> fastboot erase cache
> fastboot erase recovery
> fastboot erase system
> fastboot erase userdata
> fastboot flash bootloader magurobootloader.img
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
> fastboot flash radio radioxxlj1.img
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
> fastboot -w update image-maguro-jdq39.zip
And after booting back into the STOCK google recovery (man I haven't seen that screen in AGES) and resetting factory clearing cache. Low and behold -
STILL BOOT LOOPS!!!! What the hell!?!
I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions would be great. What am I forgetting here?! I am absolutely desperate.
What is in the update image and where did you get it? I'd flash everything manually, skip the update command.

Ok good idea, I'll try. The update image was the stock image from google (can't post link - low post count) I just didn't remember the filenames when I was making the original post - but they are the official STOCK images - for the radio, the bootloader and the ROM.

Okay I tried flashing boot, system, userdata, and recovery manually with fastboot flash and after that I STILL get the rebootloop from google logo to boot animation to google logo. So weird.
Any other ideas?

So decided to try TWRP just to see...well I dunno.
Interstingly enough when I got to hit "reboot" in TWRP it says "OS not installed!!" which is weird because I basically flashed the stock everything 4.2.2 (bootloader recovery, system, boot, everything) from fastboot. Then JUST flashed the TWRP recovery.
I really don't know what to make of this. I just tried keeping the battery out for like 2 minutes, then going back into fastboot and manually flashing:
bootloader
boot
radio
recovery
system
userdata
relocked bootloader
of the STOCK google maguro 4.2.2 (MD5 sum is good. It checked out)
And I still get a continuous reboot loop that doesn't even get past the "X" animation screen. Very ocassionally (1/10) it does get past that screen and I get to the screen where you choose your language, but right when I choose my language, the phone reboots and then continues the loop.
Honestly...Unless someone has another idea, I think I'm going to get another phone tomorrow and pray I'm under warranty. I hate to do it, because I've never had to do that before through all my flashing/ROM adventures...but I don't know what else to do. I've been using sideload for everything (except of course the fastboot flashing back to stock), but I doubt that has anything to do with it...I dunno crap.
anyone have any words of advice?
One thing I thought i might work was redoing the partition table in Odin. So I tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065470 (Thanks to Samersh72)
ODIN worked perfectly, download mode worked well, installed fine, and...
still bootloops!
Sometimes gets to "updating android" does a few apps, then bootloops. Once got to the screen where I select language, and before I could select anything - bootloop!
Do you guys think this is hardware? Right now I've installed stock 4.2.2 through ODIN and locked the bootloader in anticipation of returning the phone...
give a try to omap flash
Good Luck

I looked into the OMAP flash method - that's some hardcore stuff. It looks like it's more for phones that can't access recovery, or hard seemingly bootbricked. I can actually do all of those things with my phone - I can write a new recovery no problem, I have fastboot access (Works well), I can even seemingly install ROMs - for instance the cyanogenmod boot animation plays fine - but everything boot loops.
I'm a bit worried to try OMAP Flash because it seems from the thread that some people are having their IMEI numbers erased or set to generic and I don't want that to happen since I'm actually still under warranty right now...
Do you think it's worth it to try?

you tried almost everything.... still on warranty:good:, everything is stock, so what are you waiting for, take it to service center

Yeah you're right. OK done.
While I agree that the safest route is to return the device to warranty, omapflash is a tool which communicates with omap chip before even fastboot/bootloader is installed.
Have you tried viewing logcat/dmesg while device is booting to see why and/or its bootlooping?

I can't seem to get at logcat from this state. even if I try adb -d logcat or something similar it doesn't work. It doesn't pick up the log from the boot. Is it because USB debugging is disabled by default on the stock OS?

Yes, but There's a build.prop property that enables ADB debugging.. Since you have access to a custom recovery, you can mount /system rw and make your changes there.

Similar issue
Hey guys,
I am having a similar issue with my Nexus. It is running Phandroid 3 and one day just locked up, rebooted, and shortly after reboot (15-30 sec. after the OS loads) it freezes. I can still boot into CWM recovery and into fastboot mode, and have tried to flash it with the stock rom and bootloader. I also tried an OMAP flash, but that did not change anything as well. The odd thing is that when I try to flash a new rom (I have tried stock and other custom roms) it flashes as if everything is fine, but when I reboot it still has the phandroid rom on it. Another odd note is that when phandroid boots it notifies me that I have an incoming text message, but I removed the SIM card over a month ago. I have been struggling with this and would love any thoughts or opinions anyone has to offer. Thanks a lot!

Hi all!
Tried to return my phone to stock, but some things went terribly wrong.
Situation now:
- When starting phone, it gets stuck on white HTC screen
- I can enter bootloader/recovery, but it won't connect to pc (so no RUU or flashing a different rom)
- There's no backup or something like that on the device.
I probably lost all the data on the phone, but that's no problem. I just want my phone to boot again.
Any tips or suggestions?
I'd be so thankful!

Well.. first go into recovery and wipe data, dalvik and factory reset... then try to connect to pc...
type adb devices if in recovery or fastboot devices wile in fasboot/bootloader
if it shows up then try fashing your stock kernel (boot.img) using
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if it doesn't boot then ether try flashing an RUU..
If you'r pc doesn't see the device try another one, at least another USB port
Hello everyone,
My Mi A2 Lite just died today. I was on stock 8.1 rooted and suddenly it freezes so I rebooted it and I got stuck on Android One logo WITHOUT ANY animation.
I tried to boot into recovery via adb but I get stuck on TWRP logo. I tried to flash fastboot image but nothing changes....
I really need help because I'm out of options

Two quick questions:
1.The phone died on its self without your intervention or...?
2.Have you tried to flash the stock firmware via MiFlash , while the phone is in edl mode(the command is: fastboot oem edl)?
1) yes, it got stuck so I rebooted it
2) I tried flashing with MiFlash tool in fastboot mode. When I connect it in fastboot edl the mi flash tool sees it as COM and therefore I’m not able to flash it.
I’m I doing something wrong?

I think you are confusing some things here; adb is not an option now so you can´t boot device normally and also you said "fastboot edl" but they are different modes.
While in fastboot how did you try booting to TWRP image? (you said through adb but this is not right)
Can you get to fastboot? (hold vol down while booting, should see a rabbit on the screen)

When your phone is in EDL mode(you won't be seeing any logo on your phone ,only black screen) it's absolutely normal to see the device as COM port , because the device is in another factory mode. And there is no problem flashing stock ,when your phone is seen as COM port. So if you can't flash the stock firmware in fastboot mode or EDL mode , maybe you have a hardware issue. To be sure -take a screenshot of the error in MiFalsh when the phone is in edl Mode (seen as a COM port) and you try to flash the stock firmware.
Ok, I understand the difference between EDL (black screen) and Fastboot mode. I can get in both mode. I tried to flash fastboot stock rom (taken from the thread in xda) and everything goes smoothly, but it stays in fastboot mode at the end and when I send the command fastboot reboot it gets stuck again on the Android One logo (no animation).
When I tried the EDL mode, mi flash returns something missing (I will post the screenshot asap) and it seems like is not the right thing I'm trying to flash or something similar (I will post more information as soon as I can). (I'm trying to flash the same fastboot roms found in xda)
So, just to make sure I'm doing the right thing, where I can find the stock firmware to flash?
Thanks again for your help!

Here is the stock firmware from Xiaomi site:
https://en.miui.com/getrom-354.html?m=yes&mobile=2
Don't worry that it says MIUI , the firmware is Android One , they just forgot to change the name from MIUI to Android One , I have already tried it ,and I can confirm that it's 100% stock Android One firmware , good luck!
Ok I performed the flash but the error i get is new.
I get the error ACK count don't match!
I tried the version
daisy_global_images_V10.0.9.0.PDLMIXM_20190514.0000.00_9.0_f9d0c739e0.tgz

I will give a solution in a minute
EDIT: Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked? (fastboot oem unlock)
You have two choices , you need to find an older version of MiFlash beta , i'll give you a video :
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-7O1Svib14g
In the video description you can find a link for the MiFlash beta ,I hope it helps.
If not , you'll have to consider the Testpoint unbrick method , there are several guides.
OK, thanks to the use of the BETA version I was able to flash the rom but unfortunately I still get the same AndroidOne logo without any animation....
I really don't know what to do now...
Yes the bootloader is unlocked and I checked with fastboot getvar

Ok , it totally sound like some kind of hardware issue with the storage . Is there any way to boot in TWRP ?
Download the TWRP version 3.3.3-1 offain and try to boot with it (fastboot boot recovery(the name of the recovery).IMG) and wait until the TWRP logo disappear. Wait at least 1 minute if the logo doesn't disappear , then in my opinion , you have a hardware problem , if you succeed to booting in TWRP download the GM 1.1 version from this thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/development/9-miui-rom-t3960704
and flash it via TWRP. Then reboot and leave the phone without touching at least 10 minutes (until you see some movement like on the bottom of the screen , there will be a MI logo , right above the logo if you see 3 dots moving , then you're saved . From there we can proceed , but if you can't flash even this rom , if nothing helps. I hope you have a warranty , reflash the stock rom with the option flash_all_lock and go to your warranty service center.
EDIT: I googled and found another issue, that might be causing this strange situation: You may got scammed , and the device might not be a Mi A2 Lite , but rebranded Redmi 6X. See this thread:
http://en.miui.com/thread-5984082-1-1.html
If your phone is displayed "Wayne" ,not "Daisy" ,then you'll have to flash a Redmi 6X firmware to get rid of the bootloop

I will now try your solution, I just tried the testpoint unbrick method but still same problem.
The output from fastboot getvar all shows a DAISY bootloader. Where I can see the real name of the device to see if it is a Mi 6X?

You need a recovery to flash , which has a specific partition in the phone storage. You can flash only via fastboot . You need to boot into recovery , so try with a patched boot image for your version of the rom

So the last resort , we'll try to flash the ROM that I have mentioned before via fastboot. Place the zip file GM 1.1 in your PC (it has to be in the same directory as your adb and fastboot tools)
then open cmd and run the command
fastboot flash (the full name of the zip).zip
and hit enter
maybe that will solve it
And if this doesn't help again... type these fastboot commands :
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format system
fastboot format cache
fastboot format vendor
fastboot format recovery
fastboot format boot
then try again to reflash the stock rom (first try in edl mode ,if this doesn't do anything ,you'll have to format everything via fastboot commands again ,and try to flash the ROM in fastboot mode)
And if this doesn't help too... Then you're free to hit that ? in the ground hahahah (just kidding)
Tried both these two last but nothig works, I always get the same problem.
I just saw your comment on patched boot, can you elaborate a little bit on this?
I'm honestly very close to throw it in the trash

which version of the firmware you are flashing? 10.0.9.0 or another version , so I can send you a link and walk you through the procedure.
And when you flashed the GM 1.1 the boot screen didn't changed from Android one? (the GM 1.1 version is a MIUI stock port and has to change your boot screen to black screen with white MI logo on it) It is very important to know
One of my friends told me to try this: just open the directory of the stock firmware , navigate to flash_all.bat and run the bat file (NOT THE FLASH_ALL_LOCK!!!) and wait for the end of the process. He had a similar problem , and it worked. He explained that for any reason , the recovery was the problem , because it was flashed in the boot partition. When you use flash_all.bat The file will erase all partitions and rewrite them. MiFlash won't , so try that
Hi everyone
After some research, I can't find a succeful way to install TWRP recovery instead of Lineage stock recovery.
It's really embarasing because I'm currently setting up my brand new XZ2c compact to run the way I want it to on Lineage OS 17.1 with Magisk and Xposed modules, and I experienced 3 or 4 endless bootloop that led me to fully format my phone after bunch of hours setting it and tailoring it up... Huge waste of time, frustration overload, as you could expect. So, I really miss tremendous TWRP backup fonctionnality I used to run frequently on my old Z5c... :crying:
Does anyone here as figured out how to replace Lineage stock recovery on this device? Is so, I'd really to hear him out
Have a good week-end!

Thanks for your (minimalist) advice. Literally just lost 1 hour fixing the bootloop it just caused by following it, I'm delighted.
Behind my post, I was hoping to find someone who could explain a bit more the process of replacing/flashing/booting/(wateveryouwanti'mnotanexpert) a recovery, and at the same time avoiding me wasting more hours in bootlooping/formating/reinstalling. Hopefully, this time I succeed to came out of the bootloop without formating and reseting eveything, but I almost lost my nerves.
All of this is a bit cloudy for me, could you (or someone else that would give me a little of his time to) be pedagogue and explain clearly the whole proccess (and especially what you should avoid if you don't want to get stuck in a bootloop/getting scarying corrupted device message) ?
No one?

Wrong forum. Search in you device section.
Hi guys!
Today I tried again to install TWRP on my Sonyh Xperia XZ2C because LineageOS Recovery doesn't provide Nandroid backup, which is a shame.
I tried many ways described over the web, none of those worked, and I ended up with a boot loop at startup with that naughty message "your device is corrupted it cannot be trusted and will not boot". I can't boot to Lineage, neither to recovery. I'm stuck.
With device turned off, I can eventually press volume down, plug it to computer, access fastboot mode (blue led), flash+boot the LineageOSrecovery.img, then the device restart, Sony logo appears... and that's all, I'm stuck with logo in boot loop, and I can't go anywhere further.
I tried to change boot slot (without knowing if it could help with this problem at all) but I alway get "unknown option".
I'm panicking right now, I can't find any way out to this bootloop, if someone could help it will be sooo appreciated!
I tried hard to find a solution for 4 hours now, I'm completly stuck and I can't even sleep. That's why I finally reached out here.

In fastboot mode you should be able to flash stock rom
Is there any way to make the device boot on the Lineage partition without wiping everything?
For an unknown reason, I succed to boot on Lineage Recovery (not TWRP) this morning. I flashed LineageOs rom.zip using adb sideload. After rebooting, the recovery tolds me that I had to wipe everything because the system partition seems to be corrupted, so I did.
I'm a bit tired to lost everything since I made all of this to do Nandroid backups with TWRP........ but I have a fresh new install, my phone works again so it's fine.
But I still need to make Nandroid backups.
Kurtn, you seem to have skills and knowledge. As you can see, I didn't succeed to boot Twrp since october 2020. I don't see why it would be impossible with my device, I'm probably messing something somewhere.
Would you share your knowledge and help me booting/flashing TWRP without bricking everything again?
Could you make an answer instead of a single smiley?

Sorry, i cant. I don't backup and I don't have an a/b device.
Ok, thanks anyway!

Btw.
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
DOES install the recovery, since it's permanently flashed. Don't know why they (lineage) didn't change that.

You don't install a recovery, but only temporally boot one

However @tomboudiboudi , you could boot twrp manually using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
With that, twrp should appear and ask for a password to decrypt your userdata partition.
If that works, you could try to flash boot this very same twrp.img. Maybe you need an additional twrp.zip too which will be sideloaded within twrp itself.
A note for you which might help: I wanted to update my lineage recovery manually using fastboot (older lineage recovery to newer one) and found that nothing (except fastboot) was booting at all after flashing this.
However, after dirty flashing lineageOS.zip, everything worked fine again.
Keep in mind that flashing a recovery will modify your boot.img. If this one doesn't work / is corrupt etc., your os won't boot up.

I fear you still haven't realized, what a/b means. The classic concept of having a recovery partition, where you can boot twrp at any time - doesn't apply.

You're right, there is no recovery partition.
As I said: Flashing a recovery.img will modify the boot.img.
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.
