I woke up today to a bootloop. After pulling out the battery, I cant turn it on, it was stuck at the google logo. I thought it was some rom issue or something. When I had the time, in the afternoon, I just boot to recovery, and wiped data+sd card. Turns out sd card was not wiped.
Just now, I found a way to boot it. (AFTER WIPING DATA) I used the gnex toolkit and boot with insecure image, and guess wat? My old rom boots. Everything was the way it was, and then it crashed and stuck on the google logo again.(I made sure i wiped things two to three times, data and sd) I did a few experiments:
1) Flash using ODIN
2) Flash CWM using toolkit--it changed back to twrp after reboot
3) Changing the icon on my homescreen after boot--- everything was the same again after booting
4) Flash stock image using toolkit
5) Wipe data using manual adb
6) Try to lock my bootloader

So I was trying to to change ROM's and now I believe I have "soft bricked" my phone. I am able to reboot into recovery (CWM) but I did a full format (internal SD along with all system, cache, data, etc). So, needless to say I have no backup. When I enter CWM I did a full wipe and format, restarted recovery, loaded my ROM and went to reboot.
This ROM had a disclaimer that said "may return to stock", or something to that effect, so I clicked go back. It instantly rebooted anyway. I thought is was something with permissions so I went back in and fixed them but still nothing. So I dumped a different ROM onto my external card and loaded it (using the same above method...full wipe). Same.
The phone goes to post, gets to the SG3 screen then goes black and nothing. If I pull the battery and put it back I can get back inot recovery but nothing else.
What do I need to do?
Ok, so I booted into download mode and and got the recovery file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727443 and followed his instructions and it it booted. Don't know what I did wrong, or if I should do something now, but I'm good for the moment.
A Galaxy 3 is not a Galaxy S3. Just ticked as I'm searching for the 3.
So i formatted my internal storage before a fresh install, which has sent my phone into a bootloop. I've pulled my battery and manually tried to boot into twrp and the blue "TWRP" screen comes up for about 3 seconds and then i'm back to bootlooping. I have the mjb bootloader or I would odin back to stock. download mode does work, and i tried to reflash my recovery which did pass via odin, but I get the same results. Any help would be great
My m8 is on verizon s-off running a 5.0 build. I had my phone in my pocket when I felt it vibrate then it was on the HTC splash screen. It wouldn't boot past that was able to get into recovery but was not able to restore a backup or flash a ROM off of SD card, both failed then rebooted back to splash screen automatically. I tried to RUU to stock using fastboot then that failed and now my phone won't boot on at all. Any ideas or am I SOL?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try this:
Boot into TWRP
go to wipe
advanced
put an X in system only
hit repair and verify partition type and size
if it's zero:
Convert to ext2 right there
and then immediately go back and do ext4
same for /data and /cache
then back out and do a factory reset from main wipe page
then reboot to bootloader.. then back to recovery and side-load a ROM or flash it from your SD card.
This fixed a slightly different problem where after a ROM flash, the phone would boot back to bootloader. Truthfully, I don't know if it will solve your particular issue, but there is no harm in giving it a shot. (solution posted while hurrying to get my *ss out the door for New Year stuffs)
Wish I could get into TWRP but phone won't even boot up. I've tried every combination of power and volume up/down that I can think of still no luck. Hook it up to my PC and the computer doesn't recognize anything. I left it on the charger over night and still nothing.
So I was updating six rom and phone went into continuous boot. So went into recovery and wiped all but internal memory and reinstalled. Same boot problem. Went into fast boot and pushed another over as well as a vendor image. Tried installing the new rom, beans gaps, super su and same result. I've left the phone for over 20 mins with no result but the boot screen.
I'm having a similar problem.
My status- Unlocked bootloader, twrp accessible, devices not getting detected in fastboot mode by the pc, rooted, restoring using the backup results in a bootloop, correct drivers installed on the pc, superSU and full backup in the mobile.
i cant transfer files since device not getting detected.
my timeline- i followed every instruction on https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930 and everything went successful, but when it rebooted to the 'Welcome' page (the page which comes when u open mobile for the first time) i restarted my nexus 5x 32gb to recovery mode and then the every boot procedure doesn't complete for several minutes(doesn't go ahead the ball animation)
I'm trying to install LineageOS 17 on a OnePlus 6.
I can boot into twrp and the install process appears to work successfully. I can swap slots and install into either slot.
When I reboot the phone I get to the screen that says "Start" and "Fastboot mode" at the top. If I try to start the phone it comes back to this screen. When I go back into twrp, the contents of /sdcard is empty. I can copy over files using adb push, install the rom and then reboot. However, every time I reboot it seems like it completely wipes the phone including the install it's just done and /sdcard is also wiped.
When I booted into twrp previously, it required my unlock code. It now no longer does that. I wonder if this is part of the problem?
If I install just oxygenos, it takes me to the oxgenos recovery screen but I cant' do anything from there. I'm guessing that won't allow me to boot with an unlocked bootloader?
Can anyone advise how I can get out of this? Installing anything using twrp looks like it works, but it's like it gets wiped every time I reboot.
I can't even seem to get OxygenOS back to working.
Can anyone give me some tips on where to go from here? Nothing I can do from TWRP seems to help. I have tried wiping everything in both slots and reinstalling oxygen, no luck
Still stuck?
