Now the phone is unable to boot to system, I have no idea what I could do to fix it as there is no way to use adb or fastboot command…
I remember that the stock rom version is S11a, it have some problems when I tried to root it, and failed to flash recovery even I've got the root permission (response "write error: no space left")
------↑solved by using LG flashtool↑------
Now I am facing the problem that unable to install TWRP recovery using dd, it responds “ write error: No space left on device” I’ve reinstall the LG drivers, reboot the phone, reboot the computer, unroot and root again, but the problem still occurs.
----- update ------
solved by using flashify, and TWRP version 3.3.1 instead of latest 3.6.1, so that it won’t have “secure boot error” warning, and boot to recovery successfully.
But there is a new problem now, when I tried to sideload MindTheGapps after installed LOS 18.1 successfully, it warns me “could not mount /mnt/system! Aborting”. This is the third phone that having this warning for me, and I still couldn’t figure out which step goes wrong.
Nothing goes wrong after flashed to lineage recovery, installed MindTheGapps now.
--update--
I also tried to flash lineage recovery from TWRP on my D855, it also works, I installed MindTheGapps and everything works fine. So this is the problem of TWRP? Or reinstall the recovery is the solution? Maybe I would have a test later.

Ok so I got my E980 rooted via towelroot, then used the freegee app to install loki, then I used flashify to install the CM recovery listed below, planning to flash the matching cyanogenmod rom:

I rebooted into the recovery and it wouldn't flash the cyanogenmod 12.1 rom at first, saying that I had an incompatible system installed, so I did a factory reset and then tried again and it installed the CM 12.1 ROM without errors, however it wont boot into it. All I can access is the CyanogenMod recovery and the factory wipe screen, I cant seem to boot into a rom even when it installs without errors, I cant get into download mode no matter what combo of keys/plugging in I do, even though it worked fine before.
Any thoughts or Ideas? I am totally lost here.
When turn on the phone it says:
Secure booting Error! Cause : Device Unlock!, so Boot Success!!
When I try to flash the TWRP zip that is floating around (2.8.1 I think) it says:
Finding update package.....
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:Footer is wrong
E:Signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
When I turn on ADB mode through CyanogenMod recovery
Adb devices: Lists the device (99d3b89c sideload)
Adb usb: Error : closed
I have tried CyanogenMod 10.2.0, 11-20141115, and 12.1-20151007, and tried them before and after every kind of wipe available through this recovery, and they all install without error then reboot back to the recovery.
Is there another flashable recovery around for this phone I could try? I just don't see many in zip format.
Finally got it working. Threw every flashable recovery I could find at it, finally got Phillz touch to install and work from the CyanogenMod recovery. Phillz wouldnt install a working rom, but Phillz did allow me to flash CWM 6 something, which allowed me to install 2.8.1 TWRP, which couldnt see my microSD card, but it did allow me to copy 12.1 CM to my internal SD card from my computer via USB and to flash it and have it actually work. After I booted into CM 12.1 I had to fight gapps for a while, the open gapps pico and nano for 5.1 arm didnt work, but I got the Gapps from the slim rom to work after rewiping the system to remove the open gapps.
After that I finally manager to get flashify, supersu, and busybox from the store. Used flashify to upgrade to 3.0 TWRP. I still cant get into download mode, but pretty much everything else is working now.
Hi. I've just updated CM13 to the latest nightly using TWRP, but now the system just boots into TWRP - that's whether I select boot system, recovery, or bootloader. I tried restoring from a TWRP backup or another copy of the nightlies zip - it all seems to work fine but doesn't solve the problem. I can connect to the 'recovery' device using adb but adb restart bootloader just loads TWRP again. I've tried wiping first the dalvik/cache, then everything but the internal card, then finally everything but nothing seems to work.
I did get something a little bit like this a few days ago because SuperSU was complaining that I needed to update the binary. I let it do it the way that it suggested one does when TWRP is installed and afterwards couldn't reboot into system, but after a few minutes of frustration sorted things by wiping various partitions.
I attempted to load the full system restore files (cm-13.1-ZNH2KAS29G-crackling-signed-fastboot-74bb753396.zip) using TWRP but that didn't work (I imagine because they're designed to be run via fastboot). I tried loading them via the ADB sideloader option included in TWRP but it failed after a few seconds (I think the message was 'transmitting 0.0x'
I opened that zip and copied the various files to the external card, but I then baulked at installing the image files manually because the only partition option I'm given is boot and my understanding is that each image file should go into its own partition.
The only other potentially pertinent information I can think of:
TWRP keeps reporting "E: Unable to find partition size for '/recovery'"
Has anyone got any ideas please? I had been musing that my next phone would have OTG and NFC, but I wasn't planning to upgrade just yet if I don't absolutely have to.
Have you got it fixed? And if yes - how? I am stuck in a similar situation and can't find a solution for it. Tnx in advance.
Hi everyone,
I tried to update my rooted Pixel C with Android 8 and TWRP 3.1.0.0 from August build to September build with FlashFire.
All of the following have I done on my Nexus 5x as well and it worked as a charm there.
Therefore i dl'd the corresponding zip-file from google dev page and started the update with FF. It said to me it can update the boot, system, recovery and vendor partition so I unchecked the recovery partition only to keep TWRP. I also told FF it should include SuperSU again to root the new Android.
After the update the device was unrooted, so i tried to start into recovery to install superSU manually. But TWRP was gone and i get everytime the android on the back with the text "no command".
Therefore I tried to flash TWRP with NRT again. But after the flash the device always starts into TWRP and Android isn't starting anymore.
I can use NRT again to flash Android without loosing my data but than TWRP is gone again.
So either the device always starts into TWRP or I have no recovery installed.
Anyone an idea what i can do to flash TWRP again and to fix the boot order or whats broken than?
Regards,
flattervieh
I don't have the C but here's what I would try. First, have your device booting normally with the stock recovery. Then use fastboot to boot into TWRP, not flash it. When it boots into TWRP then flash supersu. From TWRP then boot back into the bootloader and then flash TWRP with fastboot.
Flash the latest (beta?) TWRP. It allows reading the encrypted data folder.
Short notice, i'm still struggling with the problem.
In the meantime I tried the following:
1. I temporarely booted TWRP 3.1.0.0, with this version I was not able to encrypt the data partion (always invalid key) but I was able to see the system partition and I installed SuperSU. After that i restarted into the bootloader and flashed TWRP 3.1.0.0.
This led to the same phenomenon, that my pixel always boots into TWRP and not into Android itself.
2. Same thing as before but with TWRP 3.1.1.1.
With this version I was able to see the size of the data partition, but I was also not able to read or write onto it. (Again invalid code) I installed SuperSU and made a device restart without flashing TWRP 3.1.1.1.
This led to a totally softbricked device with a boot into "no command" screen.
After flashing Android again via fastboot Android starts correctly and I can use the device but root is still not working.
Regards
I'm not sure why twrp isn't sticking. But the android on its back with "no command"is the stock recovery. To get into it simultaneously press and release the power and vol up keys. You might have to try it a few times as the timing can be very finicky. From there you can boot into the system, you don't need to flash the factory image and start all over.
Hey. So I've unlocked the device and had Lineageos running on the device but decided I wanted to access google pay functionality and read up on installing magisk and TWRP to circumvent the safetynet issue. I managed to flash TWRP through fastboot perfectly fine, but then when I tried to push + install magisk is when the problems started. I received the error "Failed to mount system_root (device or resource busy)" on attempting to install, which I could not resolve. I decided to use TWRP to format data and factory reset and try again, which is when I ran into "failed to mount /data" when trying that.
At this point I tried flashing an older TWRP, thinking maybe the old guide doesn't work for the newer TWRP I was using. Following the same steps of fastboot flash recovery ..." which I used previously, I now have this problem
"Writing 'recover' FAILED (remote: '(recover) No such partition')"
and the device no longer boots back into lineageos, although I am able to run the fastboot boot filename command, and using that I was able to reinstall a working lineagos so the phone isn't entirely useless. A whole sleuth of fastboot commands I've seen suggested as solutions to some of these issues now no longer work however, such as 'fastboot format userdata'.
The mounting of the data folder is resolved... or at least I haven't seen it crop up again, however I still can't install magisk due to the system_root mount problem. Another weird thing is that I can install lineageos from TWRP recovery without running into the system_root problem, but using the same process for magisk results in system_root mount failure. Also, when I installed lineageos through it's own recovery image it referenced magisk (i believe it said it failed to install but I didn't copy the log).
I briefly tried the mi flash tool but ran into a Not catch checkpoint (\$fastboot -s .* lock),flash is not done problem which I haven't really delved too deeply into yet but might tomorrow after work.
Is my phone screwed?
Hello,
I have a strange problem with Galaxy A5 2017 after installing twrp + lineage 18.1. I will explain the problem in sub points.
1) in January on stock software I installed (according to instructions from XDA forum) root, twrp (via ODIN) and bypass with memory decryption. Then I installed Lineage 18.1, Gapps, Magisk and debloater on it to remove unnecessary apps.
2) The phone worked fine until mid-April. Some update was installed and the phone died.
3) The phone wouldn't boot up after the update and only the TWRP logo was looping (logo kept flashing).
4) the phone couldn't boot up, but after I found the only way to get the system to boot up was to enter command "adb reboot bootloader" from windows console. The system booted, but after another reboot unfortunately it was the same thing - the TWRP logo was looping.
5) I managed to upload Lineage Recovery via ODIN, but unfortunately this didn't change anything. Phone was booting to recovery only (but it was working). I tried to update via ADB Sideload from recovery - also without success. Interestingly, the only way to fix it was to fully format with the system partition from recovery and re-upload the system. This worked, and Lineage booted into the android interface, but on the next reboot I unfortunately only had the Lineage loading logo visible for 10-15 minutes - then a reboot into recovery. I had to repeat the formatting and re-upload the system.
6) Interestingly, when I used the combination - lineage recovery, full format, twrp 3.6.1 (via ODIN) - TWRP booted normally and I could install LineageOS. The system would only boot once, and after the next reboot the TWRP logo would loop again.
7) The last problem I noticed is that if I load Lineage system, gaaps package and magiska via TWRP or Lineage Recovery, the system will never boot - either it will loop the logo (if using Lineage Recovery) or the phone will not load the system, it will reset and loop the TWRP logo indefinitely (if using TWRP recovery).
Does anyone know a solution how to restore the phone? Will it still work or for example NAND memory is dead and nothing can be done? Best regards
