I had some old lineageOS installed. So, yesterday i got into a bootloop with my old S4 mini and the first thing i did was to reboot in Twrp recovery and wipe cache and dalvik but i also wiped data and system. Now my phone is in state were it can only boot in download, odin recognizes it and i am able to flash trwp but i cannot boot into it. Adb doesn't recognise my phone. Well, maybe it did once but no more.
I know i probably erased something i shouldn't so thats why i cant even load into recovery although Odin shows it got flashed properly. But thats not my problem. What i cant find are instructions on how to wipe everything and start installing from zero, just like i did when i installed LineageOS years ago. Currently i am downloading the stock Rom, if i manage to flash it with Odin then i can continue from there.

i search througt the forums and the closest thing i came up is with this post
i have tried a stock firmware from odin first in case it was the bootloader...

Hmm i dont know why but i have same problem on my Alcatel 4034x, until i bricked recovery and it booted into system without problem except now it looks like rom is poorly made, it automatically filled up dalvik and cache partitions and now i cant boot into recovery, fastboot or system. Its just stuck on alcatel logo. I also tried to flash it with sp flash tool, didnt work cuz drivers arent "signed" for some reason. Someone help me too pls
Hi there. Here I have my t989 with stable cm11 by Sultanxda and twrp 2.7.0.0 installed.
Everything was fine until I wanted to try 5.0.1.
I got into twrp and did the usual wipe and install ParanoidAndroid 5.0. It failed.
Ok stuff happens so I just went restore my backup no big deal.
Now when I reboot back my phone looks as it were before BUT it reboots after 2-3 minutes in every time it boots back up.
So I thought the power button has problem but soon I figured it is not because my phone won't self reboot in recovery and download mode.
I went back to twrp and try to wipe it clean and install cm11 instead of restoring to my previous backup.
Wipe says successful, install says successful, reboot system. And only to find myself still in my old Rom and nothing was wiped.
All my apps are still there blahblahblah. I tried to update my twrp through twrp manager but phone reboot before it finishes installing.
I grab my odiin and try to update recovery there. Odin says success. Goes to recovery only to find its still in 2.7.0.0
Download a stock .tar and flash it with Odin. Odin says success, boot up and still in my old cm11 rom...
Now I went out of option but ask for help. I have done flashing for 3 years with this phone and I have never gotten this problem before.
Please Help
Ok guys im in some really deap ****. This is what happend
I was trying to flash my SGH-T999 with cm-2xxxxxxNIGHTLY-d2lte to get the 4.4.4kitkat upgrade. Rooting with clockworkmod using Odin V1.85 was succesfull. I got into recovery mode, wiped data factory, /cache, and /delvik cache/ and i went on to install zip from sdcard. The installation failed, tried severals times and it still fails. And when i try switching it on, it boots with the SAMSUNG Logo and goes back off, then comes back on again with a "Recovery Booting" written on the top left hand corner of the screen, and then it boots into recovery mode. When i hit Reboot System, it does same thing. I have tried downloading the recovery but my SD-Card slot seems to be damage of which the recovery needs to be put on, and more so i cant detect if the memory card i install is ready or not.
Flash twrp to the phone. Cwm has not been updated for a while.
A few months ago I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 using Heimdall just fine, no problems. Now I've been trying to flash the latest TWRP 3.0.2, I can't seem to get it to boot, the flash is successful. Then I reflash the older version, and it's not booting into recovery. I'm not too familiar with Samsung phones, but I've been doing this for a long time on my Moto X 2014 using ADB/Fastboot, without issues.
I was able to return to stock firmware using Odin.
Was trying to update the supersu binary by installing the updated zip in recovery. On reboot it was stuck in a boot loop. First off nothing else worked, then fastboot worked and then 10 mins later twrp recovery started working. I tried to restore a backed up image but still got boot loop. Then tried to flash a rom I had on sdcard - still boot loopy. Tried to go the miflash tool root but couldn't get it to find the phone despite it appearing in explorer. Copied stock miui zip onto sc card from pc and installed but still same problem. Standard dalvik/cache wipe before and after each install. Now I'm struggling to get recovery up.
Help - haven't managed to totally brick something despite many years of tinkering. :/
PS. I can still get fastboot up. Now when I try to get recovery up the screen goes black and I have to reboot.
recently i was installing a nightly, did everything i normally would...somehow ive ended up with a twrp boot loop. its as though theres nothing on the phone but TWRP. if by chance ive somehow deleted the whole system, is there a way to recover from this?

If you don't have a backup, maybe you can wipe and side load a ROM via ADB.
The thing that worked for me is flashing the 1450 stock rom, then flashing the custom rom again
Probably encryption fault, you will have to wipe and reinstall your ROM.
Same thing happened to my robin as I got an update to Lineage OS for Oct 23, and the phone was supposed to boot into recovery and flash the rom but nothing happened. I tried to look for the update rom inside the phone but couldn't find it. I then rebooted the system and it booted right back into TWRP recovery. I even wiped the whole phone and reflashed the rom again and still no dice, I even tried that stock flashable rom and nothing worked.
