Twrp bootloop - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i just unlocked bootloader and installed twrp and it all went fine..
until i wanted to fully wipe my device, i did this via twrp.
after 20Minuts, nothing happend, the bar was still white and gray (not even a little bit blue)
and it kept stuck on ''twrp formatting data using make_ext4fs function''.
i knew this wasn't a good idea, but i decided to turn off my phone,
and now, everytime when i turn it on on the normal way it just redirrects me to TeamWin in a bootloop.
even if i want to go to recovery mode i keep stuck in that bootloop, so there is nothing i can do right now, i only can stick at Fastboot Mode but nothing else,
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Using ASUS ZENFONE 2 551ML

I hope you did a backup of your system before? Otherwise just download the latest full image:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.174-user.zip
place it on your internal sdcard (via adb push) and then flash it normally with TWRP. Please note that the procedure can take up to 30 minutes, where the formatting is the procedure taking the longest time...

but i cant use twrp on my phone because its stuck in bootloop, or what do you mean? (english not my main language)
please give me some proper step by step instructions, i would really apreciate that!
thanks anyway your awesome!

Man, I misread your post, sorry...I thought you could boot only into twrp
If you still have fastboot, why not flashing twrp 2.8.x.x?
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Fastboot reboot recovery
Otherwise you could flash stock system with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
It's a lot to read

wow, that is something really helpfull, there is still hope to revive my phone
i'll let you know how it turnt out xd
thanks alot!!

i fixed recovery mode, so thats already one step further. Oefff @TheSSJ thanks for the help.
But now i get some other problems, when i try to wipe my phone i get the error like ''unable to mount /data'' and ''unable to wipe dalvik''
and all other kinds of these errors, i get the same problem when i was installing rom. isn't there anything or a way to fully wipe all this **** so i can install a fresh rom.

i flashed custom rom and this is error log i get. its all full written down.

Seems you don't have a WW image installed, do you have a CN Software? Then you need another Software of course

what do you mean with ww & cn software?
sorry but im new in this.. but im really interested so can you please explain a little bit?
how can i get this other software! thanks!!!

Where did you buy your Phone? what does the packaging state? WW, CN, TW, etc? These 2 letters must be written in uppercase somewhere, then we will know which software to flash, there is a check where your phone's software is compared to the zip you are trying to flash:
assert failed: getprop ("ro.build.asus.sku") == ''WW''
Which TWRP did you flash?

ohhh yes, i do have CN software Probably, as it is buyed from china.
Where can i find this other type software?
thanks!

I think flashing will still fail though...but pls try first,maybe it'll work

i tryed it, i get the same error :/

Update: i changed from CN to WW.
Because of this i reflashed to twrp 3.0 and it works properly and now wiping shows no problem anymore.
I also got the WW ota zip but dont know how to install that.
Anyway, i tryed to install xaosp rom (even if my ota is still CN)
And it showed no problems at all!
BUT when i tryed to startup my phone it sticks with the asus logo and wont go any further, not a bootloop, it just sticks at the asus logo.
We are Always getting more and more steps further into fixing my phone, thanks for that @TheSSJ were almost there ?

You could try flashing cm13 first and then xosp:
First wipe data/cache
Then flash cm13
Boot up and hope that it works
Reboot to recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash xosp and maybe a kernel that fits (FlareM?)
Boot to system again

sorry for the kinda late answer, but yes i followed your instructions, and it works completely, after cm13 i also immediately installed gapps.

[solved] Cant update to new CM rom?

Hi, I got a notice on CM updater that there was an 10.2 update so I dloaded it and let CM do its thing. Upon reboot everything seemed a little squirrley so I decided I was just going to do a clean flash.
Booted into recovery, wiped everything, but now every rom I try to flash gives me "set metadata recursive: some changes failed. Error executing updater binary n zip [path]" no matter what I try?
Any clue as to what is going on here?
edit: I can get in and out of recovery. I can push via adb. Also wiped via fastboot -w.
thx
EDIT: ended up getting everything back to stock and starting over. Thanks for looking.
Try updating your recovery (CWM/TWRP) to the latest.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G @ CM11
updated to latest TWRP.
I'm getting errors about it being unable to mount /sdcard when I attempt to flash...
Ok it turned out I installed an older version of TWRP.
Flashed 2.6.3.2
When I attempt to flash a new rom I get this:

Full SELinux support is present
E: Failed to decrypt data

C1905 - "Error mounting /data"

Hey folks,
I've just unlocked my bootloader and flashed the newest PhilZ Recovery. I've been following THIS tutorial.
Fastboot didn't encounter any issues, so I thought everything went fine. But after flashing the recovery image, my phone got stuck while booting. The Sony logo shows up, the screen turns black and that's where it gets stuck.
Trying to erase userdata, factory reset etc didn't help. While resetting it shows up the following message
Code:
"Error mounting/formatting /data"
So I tried to mount it manually in the recovery, but it shows the same error. Seems like a permission problem?!
Since I don't have a ROM on my SD-card yet I tried to install one via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot update ArchiDroid_V3.0.1.1-nicki.zip
But..
Code:
Archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
Archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Now I'm stuck. I don't think installing a new ROM will work if I can't even mount /data. So first thing is to fix this and then I'll be able to install a new ROM. Am I right?
By the way : fastboot has no problem detecting my device, but adb can't find it?! D:
I appreciate any kind of help! Thanks in advice!

I did. Tried 3 different ROMs and everyone gave me the same outcome.
But it seems like I fixed it by returning to stock using FlashTool and a stock ROM. I went all over again and now it's installing the ROM. I hope it's working now.
E: Yup, it's working fine now. But thanks anyway!

TWRP Can't Mount /System - OP3 Bricks When Trying to Flash New ROM??

I'm currently running my OP3 on Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (MM 6.01), the phone has the latest version of TWRP and I've flashed other ROMs in the past without any issue
RR has proven to be quite unstable for me, the system UI keeps crashing, which renders the phone unusable until after a reboot so I wanted to flash Freedom OS as that worked quite well for me previously. When I tried to flash the ROM in TWRP the ROM seemed to flash successfully but when I rebooted, only the boot logo showed and then the screen went black and the phone refused to respond at all for about two hours, after that exactly the same thing happened. I managed to boot into recovery and tried flashing a different ROM but the result was the same every time, the only way to get the phone to work normally was to flash RR again/restore from a Nandroid backup, either way, the result is the same, I'm stuck on an unstable ROM and I don't know why, the last time I flashed these ROMs they worked fine, I followed all of the instructions for flashing said ROMs to the letter, I have the latest version of TWRP, etc.
Also it seems TWRP can't mount /system, in TWRP under "mount", system is unchecked, I checked it and tried again but found that whenever I rebooted the phone or attempted to flash a new ROM, it would always uncheck itself and flashing the ROM would fail, however strangely flashing the same version of RR was always successful. Is this why the flashing keeps failing and does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks!

Go into your bootloader and format system, cache, and userdata (This will wipe EVERYTHING so be sure to backup). Then latest official flash stock rom and reboot. This should fix it. If this helped hit thanks!

Bootloader? There is no option in the bootloader to delete everything as far as I can see, do you mean in recovery? And if I wipe everything off the phone, how do I get the stock ROM onto the phone to flash it? When you say wipe userdata do you mean wipe internal storage or am I misunderstanding and you're telling me to wipe the usual dalvik, cache and data as you would for a normal clean flash?
bronderb said:
No, go into fastboot and plug into pc. Open cmd and type "fastboot format userdata" "fastboot format cache" "fastboot format system"

Okay, thanks, and then what? Do I flash TWRP then push the stock ROM to the phone and flash that? And exactly how do I do that?
bronderb said:
You just go into twrp (no need to reflash) then adb sideload oxygen os

Thank you, I am now running OOS, hopefully everything else will go smoothly now, planning to go back to FOS again
I didn't even have to use the fastboot commands to format, just sideloading the OOS file wiped everything anyway
Turns out the issue isn't actually fixed, "system" still appears unchecked in TWRP. Could the fact that I didn't actually format everything first have made a difference, given everything was wiped in the process anyway?
Looks like I'm going to be living the sideloading life...
Edit: Sideloading freedom OS failed, ended up having to restore from my TWRP backup. I don't know what I'm going to do, my main reason for using custom ROMs is installing a black theme, and OOS doesn't support Layers or Substratum fully so I can't stay on that
Is the thing that says "mount system as read-only" enabled in the mounts menu? /System isn't ever mounted when TWRP starts, you have to manually mount it, but as long as the updater-script tells /system to mount, it will. However, if that option to make it read-only is enabled, then nothing will ever write to /system. Last resort is deleting the .twrps file from /sdcard/TWRP folder to remove current TWRP preferences and then when you boot into TWRP, that first screen has the swiper to allow modifications, and you'll swipe that

It isn't set to read only, I have tried updating and resetting TWRP but nothing has helped, in fact it's got worse, I managed to sideload OOS but my attempted install of FOS failed so I tried to restore from a backup and that also failed, something which didn't happen back when I was on RR.

Which version of TWRP are you running? The official 3.1.0-0 is good for OOS and OOS based ROMs only. Try eng.stk's version.
Use the latest eng-stk twrp.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
In recovery go to Wipe > Format data (this will wipe ALL in youre phone).
It's youre Data in F2FS? If yes you must change it to ext4, in recovery Wipe > Change file system. Reboot recovery. Check if it's changed.
Reboot to Bootloader (Fastboot). From PC reflash recovery.
Now copy Oos rom to the phone memory. Flash rom. Reflash recovery (the rom will overwrite the recovery). Reboot to recovery to see if it works. If not do it again.
I sugest to NOT restore old data. This way you'll have all new in youre phone.

Help! I attempted to do this and the process failed, I didn't manage to wipe data because "/data could not be mounted as device or resource is busy"
Edit: Device now has nothing but TWRP and fastboot, no OS, no ADB, no data, no internal storage
If you can reflash twrp from PC. If not reflash recovery from twrp recovery : Instal > Image > Select Recovery (you must have TWRP.img in youre phone memory )
I managed to get hold of a few factory images and attempted to flash system.img through fastboot, resulting error was
"target reported max download size of 536,870,912 bytes" (system image is 3080 MB)
"invalid sparse file format at header magi"

I reflashed the modified TWRP successfully. The second suggestion wouldn't have worked, given my phone has no internal storage
You can't see internal storage because of the recovery does not work write.
If you have a working recovery you can do all you want.

The recovery was working at this point, the issue turned out to be the data partition, system was formatted to ext4 but I didn't realise data was in f2fs which caused the problem in the first place. I formatted to ext4 and everything worked, I was able to install paranoid android and everything worked...
...until I flashed the wrong firmware and now I've hard bricked it! I'm going to try the hard brick toolkit
Edit: After 12 hours of being an unresponsive brick, the phone suddenly booted, system doesn't work but it has recovery. Unfortunately I seem to be back to square one, if I try to flash something it appears to succeed but then the phone doesn't boot up into system
So I am now back to the original issue of system not mounting, in terminal if I type "mount /system" I get following error:
"mounting /dev/block/sde20 on /system failed: Device or resource is busy"
Anyone know how to solve this?
I formatted everything, reflashed recovery and tried to flash OOS, got following error:
Code:
[FONT="Courier New"]"This package is for OnePlus3 devices, this is a oneplus3t" (it isn't)
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file /sdcard/OOS3.2.6.zip" [/FONT]
Issue was "solved" by flashing PA, GApps and the correct firmware
Hopefully that's the end of all this drama, thanks to everyone for their suggestions
Hi, I'm pretty new at rooting and I seem to have a similar error. I'm getting the "can't mount /system" error in TWRP. I am able to boot into OOS 4.1.3 and run the nandroid backup but, I keep getting the same error and am unable to select "system" when choosing the mount option in TWRP.
Do I need to have all partitions in f2fs? My system partition is in ext4. Is this what solved your issue?
It seems my phone is functional even with the error active but, I've been trying to get systemless SuperSU and MagiskHide working and I think that's what is preventing me from doing so.

Nexus 7 2013 ERROR: 7

Hi, I'm new here. I did some searching and couldn't find any answers regarding my problem exactly. I'm using TWRP to update my Nexus 7 2013 (flo). I have been successful in the past - as recently as yesterday. Something happened along the way and now I only get an error when attempting to flash ROMs.
I have been trying Lineage 16 and 17.1. I did do the repartition, but I get the same error on both ROMs:

I have tried to edit the text to eliminate the "asserts" - no help. I downgraded TWRP one version, no help. What else can I do. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to this, and I'm willing to "hold hands" to get a solution if there is one. Thanks!

In TWRP go Advanced Wipe and wipe system/data/cache/dalvik before installing the ROM.
If it still does not work and you wish to investigate it, please 'install' this zip in twrp, find 'logs.tgz' in the root of internal storage and post it here.
If you just want this ROM installed ASAP then do:
RESTOCK (select repartition to original factory layout)
CROSS
:fingers-crossed:
Thank you! I actually started over - completely wiped the tablet, repartitioned it, flashed the ROM, and Gapps, and it's fully functioning again. It just didn't like something in the process before, I guess.

Hi,
i have too this problem.
I wipe everything, flashed the repartitioning zip and still havoc 3.3 cannot be flashed. What i have to do? thanks
The solution for me was to just completely wipe the storage - everything, and start over. Once wiped, I repartitioned, flashed the ROM (I used Resurrection Remix), and then GApps. The tablet seems to be fully functional at this point, but it's showing its age.
Good luck!

Thanks, but I'm running a linux desktop, so I can't really run RESTOCK. Is there a guide somewhere to run the commands in RESTOCK manually?
EDIT
I've reviewed your logs. For the custom ROM to work you need repartition. Install sysrepart-max.zip then reboot and now install the ROM. If gapps are needed, use pico.
It worked! Thanks

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly. In the beginning it didn't work, I just reboot the device after wiping system/data/cache/dalvik, then tried again to install the ROM, Now my device has the new ROM working without problem.

This is a Nexus 7 forum, not Error 7 forum, lol.
The error indicates a too small 'system' partition and you need to enlarge it. You will find a solution on Nexus 10 'manta' forum.

I'm facing some permissions problems and thus being unable to install Paranoid Android Q5. I was using MIUI 12 (Xiaomi.EU).
The steps I took to change the ROM:
Formated data (errors started right away) then I did the usual wipes (cache, dalvik, data)
Whenever I try to wipe or format data I get error messages like: Error opening /data/XXX (Operation not permitted).
System is always mounted read-only no matter what I try and after I install any ROM many of these error messages pop up.
Orange Fox gives some error about key.
Flashing of the ROM suceeds, but system cannot boot, loading screen forever.
Can anyone point me some directions?
Thanks in advance and sorry about any possible bad grammar.

Mount system, vendor and data manually and then try. If fails then try with pitchblack recovery.

Well , i have the same problem..and used pitch black also
Any update on this?
I still had those problems. I don't know if it is a problem with the TWRP or something similar. Is there any progress to solve this problem? I wanted to try the pixel experience betas with Android 11 but because of this problem with the TWRP I have not succeeded (in case I have Android 10 under MIUI 12.0.3 and RN8 Ginkgo model and obviously unlocked bootloader)

Format data ..(backup first if u need ) .. the boot to recovery again ... Should decrypt the data ... Worked for me ...
I am having this exact problem.
Under internal storage (sdcard) I see a bunch of hashed folders I cannot open.
Format data returns a multitude of "Error opening '/data/somefolder/asdf/asdf' (Operation not permitted) and marks the wipe as Failed. The attempted formatting also mentions "E:Error making /sdcard/Fox directory: Required key not available." "Failed to unmount '/data' (Device or resource busy)
I can wipe anything except Data. I also tried downgrading to 12.0.1 firmware but it does not fix it for me.
The ROM can be booted into, and magisk managed to be installed, but no google apps were installed.

I tried this, but no luck on my side.
Recovery download link on description. Only for Note 8/8T.
I flashed it with fastboot and works fine!
A problem like this was the one I had since TWRP had the device encrypted but it did not inform me and it did not give me any sign that I had to write a password (password that I have no idea what it is).
What I did so that it did not give me an error was to install Orangefox and while there delete everything and install a file of these that I got from google.
I had to try one by one and restart to see if it asked me for a password in orangefox, luckily one worked and it no longer asked me to decrypt the files and I could install the rom and gapps normally

if you need to do something to system or vendor go to ofox menu/mount and choose what partition to mount

Can't wipe it still, I already try the Mount > ✓ Vendor ✓ System.. but in formatting it say's "Cant Mount the....blah..blah.."
I try to uncheck the "Mount System vendor, system as read-only" from the settings of mount.. but for some reason, if you go back to Mount options again, you can't check the system, vendor now

Yes, I need it to flash a ROM
try this it worked
Had the same issue.
1. I installed twrp via ADB
2. Restarted to recovery mode into twrp
3. Installed the latest OrangeFox and restarted into recovery again.
4. It asked me for a password which is the pin I set then proceeded to format data.
5. After formatting data I restarted again to recovery.
Then I was able to install custom roms.
I am using derpfest Android 12 on my Poco x3 pro. I want to install magisk.zip through orange fox recovery installed on my phone. But I am not getting storage data on recovery, only a fox folder is there. Can somebody tell me is it a glitch or any Android 12 restrictions or something.
