[Q] Need help with TWRP boot loop

Boot loop
Moto x 1060 rooted on 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.7.7.1 installed. I tried to restore. TWRP says restore completed but when I try to reboot into the loop I go. I can access TWRP but nothing else. I have two TWRP recoveries but neither works. My computer doesn't see the phone when connected, so I can't flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I restore with TWRP it shows successful. Then when I boot it goes into a loop. I have 2 recoveries and they both do that. MY computer does not recognize it so I cannot flash.

Your computer should recognize it in fastboot mode (NOT TWRP) - you need to be the bootloader screen (AP Fastboot Mode). Follow the guide in general "Return to 100% stock" to flash the entire SBF for your carrier. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE. Only flash the version you are currently on or higher.
Everything you need is in that thread, including the necessary drivers. If your phone isn't getting recognized it is either because you do not have the drivers installed, OR you are trying to connect when booted in to TWRP. Once again, this is wrong. You restore using your PC from the BOOTLOADER screen, NOT TWRP.

When I am in boot loader mode and try to connect with RSD Lite the phone is seen as "fast boot" connected but nothing I flash works. I have done this before and the phone was recognized but after installing TWRP it is not, nor can I flash anything, it says failed.

Thanks Sam. I got RED lite to work and all is well. Again, many thanks

Excellent! Glad to help. As you probably already know, you can now flash TWRP back on and re-root. Good Luck! :good:
P.S. I sent you a private message - please check your PMs.

I cannot flash or install SuperSu or TWRP. I don't really want to install TWRP because that caused the original problem. I need SuperSu but when I try to install it says "there is no SU binary installed". Phone says device is unlocked and Status code 3 and I get the bootloader unlocked warning screen. Should I reflash 4.2.2 and start over?

TWRP does not cause problems - likely your issue was un-related. You cannot install SuperSU without TWRP. You do need to flash TWRP - use the latest version from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost
After you flash it, type: fastboot reboot-bootloader and immediately boot into TWRP. Click exit and it will offer to root for you.
If you insist, you can flash stock recovery back on afterwards which will remove TWRP.

[Q] "Bricked" Optimus 4X

Hi.
I was trying to flash LiquidSmooth ROM, installed TWRP recovery, formatted /data and /cache to F2FS and installed the rom, an custom kernel by mourta and PA Gapps.
The phone stucked in LiquidSmooth bootlogo. I tried to boot in recovery unsuccessfully (my Vol - key is kinda broken), the command adb reboot recovery didn't work.
After many tries, I could flash the LG Stock rom, the Kdz program didn't finish the process and the phone rebooted, don't know why.
Tried many other times to flash.
To sum up, I could flash the original firmware, the phone is booting up normally and aparently is working properly, the problem is: I still can't go to recovery to restore my old rom. (The adb reboot recovery comand just reboot the phone). So, I can't root it or flash another custom recovery.
I wish you guys can help me. Sorry if I written something wrong or if the text is too long, I haven't finished my English course yet.

Which stock rom have you flashed? I've tried to use fastboot on a V10 rom couple of weeks ago and I coudn't do it. I think that it works just with V20 roms.

I'm using now V20A_00_4.1.2.EURO.
I could acess the recovery (original) but adb sideload doesn't work. It says: "Error: more than one device and emulator."
About fastboot, I've already tried to flash the recovery using this, but it just keep with one message, I guess is waiting phone, or something like that.

I didn't know that error more than one device and emulator. I can't help you on this error.
About Fastboot still waiting phone, that is phone driver's problem. Try to install P880 fastboot drivers and try again.
Try these drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38953792&postcount=17

I figued out about the error: "Error: more than one device and emulator."
It's an incompatibility with Bluestacks, after close it, it works, but I had to turn off the phone and couldn't flash.
And about fastboot, I could acess this too (Didn't knew that I needed to be on Bootloader mode). But I can't flash the recovery, it says that my bootloader is locked (using fastboot reboot bootloader).
It isn't, or at least wasn't before it all happen. Using ADB command to reboot in bootloader mode (adb reboot oem-unlock I guess), I can flash the .img of clockwork mod and TWRP without error messages, but I still can't boot into it by adb reboot recovery.
Thanks for trying. Today I could acess Android original recovery by hardware keys and install another recovery and ROM.

I don't really know what happened, did you successfully flashed kdz?
Where did you get it from? Here?: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Try to flash one of these (choose correct one for you)
Than you have to install recovery again.
But before that you can try to wipe /system, /data, /cache and then flash CM11 (I know it works without problems)
And I recommend you these Gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

I think you should try with CWM first, get it: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-p880.img
you can flash it with this app if you are rooted: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
then you can download CM11 from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p880
and gapps from last mine post
and then boot to recovery, do factory reset and wipe /system, then flash rom and gapps.
Hope it helps

Crash After Flash OTA Vanir 5.0
I had a similar experience. I was installing OTA latest update of Vanir...not realising that it was 5.0...a screen came up telling me that it needed to flash another recovery...not realising why it needed that, I ignored the request to flash. Of course, I then "bricked" the phone. I was able to install the original JB 4.12 (v20c) back onto the phone but now it won't root. I've tried almost every method in this forum to no avail.:
ADB just gives a message "error: closing" when I use the boot.exe method
o4xr method does nothing
all-in-one method also does nothing
ADB does recognise the device. Drivers are installed. Any help is welcome!

Have you tried to flash a recovery using fastboot? You won't need to root (if you are going to use a custom ROM) and/or it will be easier with a custom recovery

Soft brick after last update.
Hello,
I seem to have a similar problem. I updated a few days ago using Vanir updater. There were no warnings re updating the recovery, just a warning regarding losing root. I checked restore root. The phone rebooted to the bootloader logo, then to a black screen. Now, I can access Cyanogen recovery, SW update mode, abd fastboot mode using buttons and the recovery options. ADB can see the phone only in recovery mode, but not in fastboot or SW update mode. CM recovery has no option to mount USB storage, so my PC cannot see the phone, and I cannot side load a new recovery and flash a new ROM.
Is there any way to use ADB if it cannot see your phone in fastboot or SW mode? Perhaps modify the settings.secure string to enable ADB? ADB can see the phone in recovery mode.
Otherwise I will try flashing a stock ROM via KDZ or LG firmware update tool, the re-root and proceed - but rooting was a major ordeal the first time, so I would like to avoid doing that again.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Accidentally wiped system and now I can't boot into recovery

I followed all of the instructions in the Nexus 6 Guide to unlock, root and flash a custom recovery.
I was trying to sideload a rom into my phone and was doing advanced wipe in TWRP. I accidentally choose system thinking it would be fine since I am flashing a new rom anyway.
I think I force shut down the phone and now it just stays and hangs on the google logo. I can only get into the bootloader/fastboot. When I try getting into TWRP recovery it just flashes for a second and then attempts to reboot.
I figure I should try flashing a rom via adb bootloader/fastboot but I attempted a few times and failed. Can someone help walk me through this?
Edit: I can access TWRP recovery now... I tried doing sideload several more times but for some reason I keep getting loading rom.zip cannot read rom.zip

Well i going to geuss you know to to get to recovery though bootloader thought your phone
But your phone is semi Bricked
You can download wugs toolkit
And i will show unroot/flash stock you will click bootloop/ bricked and go though the steps
And it will download the stock software and reovery and go though the steps you will be fine
If you want use the same toolkit and root and install twrp again

Do you use a USB otg drive? If you don't you can send a rom to twrp using some commands.
Try to redownload the ROM that won't work and put it on the phone via a USB otg drive or using your pc and don't forgot gaps.

If you're not, use the WUG toolkit to reflash the stock ROM. Then you can use that to flash your new ROM

Unless im missing somethimg, why not just flash the factory image through fastboot and start over?

Like mentioned above, or just flash TWRP in fastboot. Then boot into TWRP, and flash ROM.

[Q] How to reflash a Stock Rom back after a soft brick?

Hi to everyone! Can anyone explain me how to reflash a Stock Rom (6.0.1 or 7.0) back after a soft brick? I mean, once I accidentially installed an OTA update over rooted Android 7 with TWRP recovery, so after restarting the phone got TWRP bootloop and did not enter in the fastboot mode. Tried to reflash a nandroid backup (ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20160920-seed) and clean installation of the following Roms:
[TWRP] General Mobile 4G Android 6.0.1 MOB30Q Stock ROM
[TWRP]General Mobile 4G Android N 7.0 NRD90R Stock ROM
cm-13.0-20160930-UNOFFICIAL-seed
ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20160920-seed
cm-14.0-20161003-UNOFFICIAL-seed
omni-7.0-20161017-seed-HOMEMADE
but none of them helped. Is there a workaround on making the phone enter in the fastboot mode? Or can I reflash Stock Recovery 6.0.1 MOB30Q or Stock Recovery 7.0 NRD90R via TWRP to get clean installation of the Android 6.01. or 7?

If you want to keep twrp in your phone i don't know how i can help you, but otherwise you could search the stock bootloader etc and then flash it via adb/fastboot in the commandprompt on your computer. After that reboot to bootloader and then flash the rest of the files.

The problem was - I could not enter into the adb/fastboot mode due to TWRP bootloop. That was a result of the OTA flashing over custom root and recovery. So I could neither recover my backup nor flash any custom or stock roms (flashing of custom or stock roms goes ok but restart results in TWRP bootloop).

I'm sorry, but i don't think i could help you with that. However with my huawei honor holly it was able to flash things if i removed the battery and disconnected it from the usb cable, then pressed volume down and power and put sptool in flashmode. When i connected it it would immediately start in fastboot mode but kind of basic. I don't know how to achieve immediate flashing after connecting to computer with adb/fastboot commands. Hope this helps.

So, my experience in solving this problem was like this: I started Install MOB30Q.bat from images folder (starting INSTALL_Android N 7.0 September Update.exe could not help), got a message waiting for device and gave a reboot on the phone already connected to PC (in TWRP mode). Flashing process started with some errors, but the main thing - phone got flashed with a Stock Rom over the exisitng Custom one.
There is a workaround on a Russian forum but that's a quite complicated method requiring a modified USB cable.
The other way is to flash 5.1.1 Stock Rom as it is adviced on the same forum but that's a Swift stock rom so I did not risk.

you did not mention what your device is! am i correct to assume that it is a gm 4g android one? if it is, then search and download for a stock rom that is flashable via fastboot.
with your device, remove the battery to force it to switch off, assuming you still have a bootloop as you said. refit the battery and then switch the phone to fastboot mode by pressing vol-down+power on. the rest is already a standard process to flash the stock rom via fastboot. this procedure guarantees that everything in your phone is erased to be replaced by the stock rom you just flashed.
