i got stuck in a bootloop after rooting my nexus 6 with wugfresh's toolkit and then wiping cache, wiping dalvik and fixing permissions on twrp recovery. i've tried wiping cache and dalvik and fixing permissions again and flashing the 5.0.1 factory image but it is still stuck. can anyone suggest anything? i'm still somewhat new to all of this stuff.
try wiping data

a little bit of reading will help a LOT going forward. toolkits rarely work as they should (at least compared to flashing the "correct" way).

It was your fix permissions that caused a bootloop. It doesnt work in TWRP. Not sire if because its lollipop or a bug but dont fix permissions if you dont want a bootloop.

I've got a tmobile streak 7 and can't get it to do anything. Someone tried to root and now all it does is FC. It wont reset or wipe data. I downloaded all the update packages and none work. Onty one comes close but then says "modem install error" I can flash CWM in fastboot but it gets overwritten by stock. I have also tried tried Gingerbreak to root and one click to at least get root to go rename rename recovery.install.zip so CWM won;t get overwritten but its a no go. I think I have tried everything and I am still stuck on this same stock ROM with all the same data that wont get erased. Also reset button doesnt do anything either. Any help would be appreciated thanks guys
Edit: just restored with NV Flash and it didnt work. It flashed fine but it is still on the same crap

clear dalvik cache and see how you go, you may have a read only device, in which case charge you device for 24hrs, perform a wipe from fastboot, push recovery, system and boot partitions back onto the device and see how that turns out

Thank you for the rapid reply!
I have let it fully charge and still can do nothing. I can't erase in (fastboot) anything or flash anything. Not even Dalvik cache.

have you tried booting a different boot.img from fastboot?
if you can then you should be able to wipe caches, if not refer to the read only mode thread

Hey guys sorry if this has already been posted. I tried to search through the other threads but couldn't find anything with my exact problem. I am a noob when it comes to this stuff so please bear with me. I was trying to reinstall my ROM when I made the dumb mistake to format system, When I was in recovery I wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache partition, wiped Dalvik cache, and then for some reason went to format system. After I did that and went to reboot the phone it asked me to fix root. I did this and it started the CWM bootloop. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix it?
exitrecovery.zip will stop the boot loop.

Also try this...
Pull battery..
Count to 10.
Replace battery.
Press and hold Volume Down and power until the Factory Reset screen comes up..
Hit the power button twice, once to start and the second to confirm.
This should put you into your recovery mode... There you should be able to install the ROM again..
At least this is what has always worked for me...

Think you should try this. Flash your stock recovery boot into it and hold power and volume up then release power still holding volume up till screen pops up. Use the options to wipe cache then factory reset wipe days. Reboot reinstall twrp wipe everything including your internal storage then flash Bliss and gapps. This is what fixed everything for me. Sometimes you need to do a factory wipe with the stock recovery to get the nv partition wiped. Custom Recovery's don't get that part and when flashing firmware like you have been, like us all updating and so on this can get corrupted. That was my issue.

Someone posted this in another thread to try and help someone with WiFi issues. I've had those issues at times as well, and wondered if doing a factory reset with the stock recovery did more than TWRP, and would perhaps fix something internally that TWRP couldn't.
Is this possible?
Any devs or maybe Capt Throwback with knowledge of what stock recovery could do more than TWRP?

I honestly don't know. Only way to know for sure is to try it.
@bigbiff at #twrp suggests the following:
fastboot boot the stock recovery
factory reset
fastboot twrp
see if it's erased i guess

So, feel free to try it and let us know .
EDIT: Additionally, per @Dees_Troy:
A format data might have something to do with it since stock recovery formats the entire data partition

LOL! How would I honestly know if it did anything different or useful?!
The whole point of this is to fix issues like, connectivity, BT, and perhaps my TWRP issues.
I am an amateur diving into this, so I'm willing to try, but I'm not sure if it will do any good.
I will try this soon though. His claim is from all the firmware flashing, a fresh wipe may be helpful.

You can, interfere with the process by using the force reboot button at the back of the Xperia SP. But then you will need to boot into recovery again, and again, attempt to wipe the cache.
Good that it is solved Would be nice if you tag your thread with the text: [Solved] so that people will acknowledge that your problem is solved.

so wiping cache will really take that much time?
dont use cwm .its why it is stuck like that.
Installed the ROM and now I'm stuck on Bootloop Recovery.
Tried to wipe cache and dalvik with no luck.
Also tried to wipe cache and dalvik and data and still stuck in bootloop into TWRP.
Any help how can I solve it ?
**** UPDATE *****
I was able to get out of the bootloop by flashing Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.27.2019
Not sure what it does but I saw that someone mention it helped him so decided to give it a try and it did the trick

Flashing something you don't know isn't always good lol, it enables FORCE DECRYPTION, It was encrypted data that was stopping you from booting, a data format would've worked too. Anyway good to hear you've booted.

I agree that it might not be the best idea to flash something that you don't really know but as I mentioned in my post I already tried data format and it didn't help. I was still stuck in bootloop to TWRP recovery.
I did read somewhere that someone else with the same issue (bootloop) tried that method and it worked for him so decided to give it a try.
