TWRP 2.6.3.0 constantly crashing (SOLVED)

I've been using TWRP ever since I have rooted mt ONE. Over the last few days its been crashing while trying to install any zips at all.I can do a nandroid restore but nothing else. When I try to install any file it just goes to a black screen and reboots the phone.
Any ideas of what could be causing this and how to repair it also.
Thanks

I've also just replaced TWRP with clockwork mod touch and that is doing the same thing. I am now at a stage where I cannot install anything via the recovery method.
What is my bet options for starting afresh as my phone is unlocked with HTC dev and rooted also.
I'd like to go back to the beginning and start again.
Thanks

This seems to becoming a more and more recurrent event, though I cannot say for what the correct solution is, check these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435499
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423817
one of them had to fix a corrupt partition, the other just reflashed and wiped again and again, and it worked.
If something works out for you do share!!

Thanks for that,I'll redownload my favourite Rom and try again without trying to update the Kernel,everything was fine as I remember before I tried the kernel update.
I'll let you know how I get on in a while.

Though the reasons are still unclear (at least to me ), it seems that flashing a custom kernel while still in recovery immediately after the ROM does work. Of course, make sure you're flashing a compatible kernel to the ROM; the version numbers of the custom kernels do not correspond to the ROM versions, and I've seen some that flashed an incompatible kernel, just because the version numbers looked similar.
Good luck & keep us posted
PS: If you do solve it, please update the main thread title to include [SOLVED]. thanks

Thanks for the two links,after reading them and doing a fresh install off my rom. Wiping cache,delvick and data I seem to be able to install zips again from recovery without the black screen and reboots.
Yep, so far all the zips that failed earlier are now installing.
A BIG THANK YOU :good::good:

[Q] HTC First doesnt bootup..Urgent help needed !!

Dear experts, I have seen similar threads as with the issue I am facing but I wasnt sure of few parts and if the process as a whole could work for me.
Here's what I know and what the problem is all about, appreciate any help to get back the phone in working condition.
First the basics:
HTC first
GSM unlocked, Bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed
I wanted to delete and format the device as I intended to give this to my friend and I did go to TWRP menu and then clicked on advanced wipe etc and realized I did erase everything the phone needs even to bootup. This I have done without taking backup.
What it looks like now:
When I boot the device out from TWRP, the 'F' logo comes up and stays like that for ever. If I go to TWRP pressing the power and volume down together, it goes to the TWRP menu and thats it..no options seem to help me on this screen to go past the 'F' logo at startup. If I simply power down the device on the 'F' screen it restarts and goes to the same screen making it look like its in a loop. Not sure if this is called soft-brick or hard-brick but it looks like the phone is of no use to me right now.
Can you guys please help me with resolving the problem..any help will be much appreciated

Sideload the stock rom and then flash it I've been in your situation and that's all that was needed to be done.
Be sure to also flash the boot.img if you aren't s-off

More questions
Thanks Abraham for your quick response.
I am starter with Android so, please help me how to sideload and also on where to get stock rom. I will also be lying if I said I understood whats s-off..? Please help further

Well then you'll have to make sure you flash the boot.IMG as well,
So what you'll do is
1) find the stock ROM around these threads
2) sideload the ROM
3) flash it
4) flash the boot.IMG inside the rom
5) you're done!
Understanding what s-on/off won't be of use here really d:
And the stock ROM is somewhere around these threads. About the side loading you might find a tutorial for that on YouTube. Sorry if it seems that I'm just leaving you in the dust but I am typing this in a hurry since it's 2:50 am at my place. I will be back to whip up a tutorial for you if YouTube wasn't of much help

Okay

I should be finding the boot.img on the stock ROM itself, isnt it..?

That's correct. Unzip the ROM and it should be there

This is how far I could get
Got all stock ROM and the IMG files, installed android SDK
ADB doesnt recognize the device to copy the file for sideloading
Guess issue is with the fact USB debugging was disabled earlier on my device
Can you please advise further
Is it better to chat on google chat or something so its even faster and I could get this fixed tonight (my time)
Thank you

Finally got it fixed
Thanks for the help..it all worked fine and the device is now working fine..
Thanks for all the guidance

wait a sec...you dont have a rom or kernel on your device at the moment right?
then there is no way to turn on usb debug on or off cause there is nothing managing the device.
um...use cmd and do adb devices. if its not there then i have no idea but if fast-boot goes into usb mode try flasing it using code
not sure what you would use, but see if "fastboot flash update nameofROM.zip"
but im not sure if that is the right code

stock rom for htc first

You could try reverting back to 4.3 then update to 4.4.2 by installing a custom rom.

Hum,
But this problems are normal on the oficial 4.4.2?

By any chance your extreme lag also affects the audio performances? I and a friend of mine had in the same period (for 2 weeks) EXTREME lag, signal lost on mobile network. The lag was so powerful that even music was interrupted. The only way to get rid of this was rebooting the tablet.
The most awkward part is that the bug persisted over ANY KIND OF ROM/KERNEL. Even the official one from Google Developers (any android version).
Best part: It was fixed by itself. Lags started to be increasingly rare and at some point they stopped.
I tried to catch some logs...at the moment of failure, just once they pointed me to some lines in the source code...so I quit trying to figure it out what happens..

I had the same problem, I solved it installing SlimKat, but probably you can solve it with any custom rom, I tried many times to restore 4.4.2 but always the same, only installing custom roms seem to solve it...
I remember it, is like a nightmare to me, turn the tablet On and let it 5 minutes before open any app, open Google Play and see how it lags, installing apps always causing freezing... It remembers me my Windows XP years...
At the beginning i let it thinking it will solve itself, haha, after months I was about to broke it with a stone

If you want to keep the official rom you can just try to reflash 4.4.2 wiping everything, just copy to PC the files you want to keep and after flashing copy again to tablet, i would recommend you to copy only important data, not everything, and specially not copy the folders with strange names that you dont know what they are

How to reflash the 4.4.2?
It's necessary root?

Before flashing anything try to restore the tablet, copy all your stuff to PC and format it by going to settings / backup and reset / factory data reset and checking to wipe all on internal memory/sdcard
It will wipe all your data, apps and everything, so be sure that you dont forget anything to be copied to pc.
Maybe it solve the problem without flashing
About root and flashing:
You dont need it, but you can root it if you want after flashing,
I dont know how much you know about flashing and all that, so Im gonna make you an quickly tutorial
Basically all you need is:
Nexus root toolkit from here: www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
4.4.2 firmware (can be downloaded directly from the Nexus Root Toolkit)
And be sure that you have copied to PC everything you dont want to be deleted, you can just copy all to PC and after flashing copy to tablet only what you want...
On tablet turn on USB debugging, on developer options (To unlock it go to settings /about tablet /build number and click it many times until it says "you are now a developer", then go back and you will see it)
When its done follow the Nexus Root Toolkit instructions to "flash stock + unroot" (by clicking a button with that text) you should select Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H) and check the option "automatically download"(dont remember what the option says exactly)
And the tool will download it and tell you when you have to do something. Just dont disconnect the tablet until the tool ends its job
Maybe you should install some drivers if you get an error message like "device not found"
If you want to know more about insalling drivers, you get any problem or something else just tell me, but maybe im gonna make you wait because tomorrow is my birthday and I wont be checking it for few hours.

Be careful about "Returning to stock" method as I think Google broke their "flash-all.bat" from the arcvive of Android 4.4. Flash every file by your hand. I used that idiotic flash-all on any android version, but on 4.4 it completely broke my motherboard by flashing wrong boot.img.

Okay, I was no sure that you also format "SD card" factory reset do not delete user data/sd card on some devices and Im not sure if in N7 you have to check the option
Try the 2° option but take a look at this comment:

If thats true then try to flash 4.3 and install 4.4.2 by OTA, just select 4.3 instead 4.4.2 when you are about to flashing

Ok,
I flashed the nexus 7 2012 directly to the factory 4.4.2 using the nexus root toolkit, and everything is working fine without problems, at least for now.
The tablet isn't giving exchange errors, and doesn't hang everytime, but I only used it for some minutes, lets see how it works after some days/intensive usage.
Anyway, as I said, I flashed to 4.4.2 directly using the toolkit, and it worked without any problem
Thank You!

Noob needs major help. TWRP Bootloop Unable to Factory Install

I have been experiencing certain issues w my phone and decided to do a factory reset.
Originally i was getting the TWRP loop when my celluar phone provider was trying to push an update.
Well after doing the factory reset, it went into TWRP. I"m not sure why, but that's where I am. I currently do not have an OS installed.I tried downloading a purenexus_shamu-7.1.1-20170215-OFFICIAL rom through some thread that I read, hoping to get a rom installed (excuse my terminology)
The system updated the partition, flashed itself, but still boots into TWRP.
I was at times able to get into the Pure rom? But then it had no apps. not even google play for me to use to download more apps.
Can someone pls provide a step by step of what to do to get me back up and running and disable this TWRP program permanently?
Thank you.

Well, the question is:
Honestly... Did you ever read the PureNexus thread?
Check this post for a detailed install (Google apps links in first post):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61653759&postcount=4
If you want to start fresh, just flash a factory image of your choice (I advise the latest)
Follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
Backup your datas first...
Don't flash userdata partition if your phone is not a 32GB model...
Also, don't mess with your phone unless you read enough and know what you are doing otherwise you could break it for good...

i was able to install it and get the gapps running
the problem is it didnt fix anything
i still cant really work the dialup unless it is via bluetooth. (am forced to reboot to be able to use the phone during a call)
my front facing camera still does not work.

Follow the guide posted above to get it back to stock. There shouldn't be a calling issue on that rom. Must be something janky during the flash process. Just get back your phone e to stock and see if everything works.

Phone unable to get past CM13 boot logo (with video)

Basically, I had to do a battery pull on my LG D415, after the better pull, I booted up the device like I normally would. After starting the device, I am now experiencing an issue where I am unable to get past the CM13 boot logo, where it will continue the booting animation with the CM13 logo, and then the device will just shut down. Attached is a video of this happening.
Is this essentially the inevitable bootloop that is found in many Android devices? If so, how can I go about fixing the issue? I had a lot of stuff on the device and would prefer to not have to reflash anything, as I spent already hours setting up the device in the first place.

Usually a bootloop restarts your phone or doesn't pass the CM (in this case) logo.. I think u can classify as bootloop nevertheless.. u can try reflashing the same version of cm13 on top of that.. you maybe won't loose anything important but I don't know what you had done in your device.. it's just my opinion..

So if I were to flash CM13 (without wiping anything) I should be safe in terms of not wiping anything? Would I also need to flash GAPPS again?

I don't know.. again it's your decision.. but if your going to flash, try 1st without Gapps.. if they don't stay then flash Gapps.. btw I saw u want to download cm13.. that's a bummer because cyanogen is over.. they closed CyanogenMod OS. So no more cm's for anyone. Instead u have lineage OS that's made by CM team and we don't have official. It's the same with changed brand.. I don't know if you will succeed downloading a cm13 version but search here in L90 forums.. maybe you find a solution..

I don't know.. again it's your decision.. but if your going to flash, try 1st without Gapps.. if they don't stay then flash Gapps.. btw I saw u want to download cm13.. that's a bummer because cyanogen is over.. they closed CyanogenMod OS. So no more cm's for anyone. Instead u have lineage OS that's made by CM team and we don't have official. It's the same with changed brand..

Oh yeah, I totally forgot that CyanogenMod closed down its OS. This is a huge bummer, as this essentially means I need to find a new ROM anyways...
Any suggestions? Anything super stable, and runs fast is what I was looking for. If not, I might just go back to the stock ROM and stay rooted or something.

Thanks for the advice, I'll go ahead and take a look at it! As long as it's stable, and good to use as a daily driver, it works for me.
Though, I am currently having an issue with booting into TWRP to flash the ROMs, as I keep trying the volume up + power button steps to get into recovery, but it's just sending me directly to the CM13 loading logo. And because I can't even get into CM13 because of the boot issue, I am not sure if I can connect the device to a computer... Any advice on how I can fix this issue?

Its power button and volume down.. I read that ur going to give your L90 To another person.. I think u should not flash nougat Roms yet.. they are still "beta ish" Roms.. Instead try this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298925163
Its a unofficial build of lineage 13 made by @slimshadys and is basically cm13 last nightly made.. should be very stable.. doesn't bring root by default but just flash SuperSU 2.79 (last version I think) and will work ok

Haha silly me, yes volume down + power did the trick. I always get confused with that because it seems to be different for many devices. Yeah as I posted in my other thread, this phone is meant for a friend who uses it daily, it sounds like that lineage 13 is pretty much fit for the task? Would it receive updates in the future? I am always open for trying other ROMS of course, as long as they are 100% working and have no issues/

As it is now lineage 13 is the best option for stable.. But dont expect updates on 13.. Later you can use 14.1 but now it have some issues..

Oh okay, thanks! I'll go ahead and just do a fresh install since I forgot this phone has an SD card, so the majority of the data needed is already there. Thanks for your help! I'll keep looking at 14.1 and rest of the Nougat ROMs, and consider flashing it if they become stable soon.

So I installed lineage OS, but for some reason can't provide root access to apps? Attached a screenshot, not sure why it's not allowing me to select apps, and only showing ADB...
EDIT: No idea how, but the SIM card reader stopped working... I tried flashing another ROM just to see if it was lineage, but it wasn't. The phone is still under warranty, but I assume if I send it back it'd have to be unrooted... any idea how I can go about that?

Oh great, thanks! I used to have the old myTouch 4G, and unrooting that phone was such a pain, I nearly spent 6 full hours because of all the steps needed and it was so easy to mess up. This looks pretty straight forward. On the bright side, I now know once I get the phone back I can flash lineage OS and should be good to go.

Before you flash kdz maybe the problem was bootstack.. Dont really know if that was the problem because its supposed to work if you still have a KitKat bootstack installed but try changing that.. Just be carefull to choose the right one..
