Hey guys i need your help. I recently tried to install PA with Twrp but i cant access it anymore. I reflashed it, erased recovery, flash the stock and TWRp again, but i cant get it work. What i think the problem is, that normally during bootup or entering TWRP i had to put in my decrypt pattern, but it doenst show up anymore. How can i get it back?
Sounds like a corrupted boot.img. Flash a stock boot.img then stock recovery, factory reset in stock recovery. Trust me it helps. Then use fastboot to flash twrp.img and u should be ok. If not you might need to send this device back to oneplus.

Like an idiot I wiped my System inside TWRP. Using TWRP 2.6.0.2
Earlier tonight my phone starting rebooting. I was inside GooManager and tapped reboot to recovery. When I did that, for some reason my phone lost root. Meaning when I went to reboot inside TWRP it stated that it looks as if my phone is not rooted. I rebooted anyway without installing SuperSU through TWRP. I was already rooted. Afterwards, it would boot up fine but kept constantly rebooting only after a minute or two.
I went back into TWRP and clicked through dalvik wipe and cache wipe. Still got reboots. I was planning on flashing CyanogenMod anyways so I thought I'd go on and wipe everything. I went in to advance wipe and check everything. As I swiped the slider to wipe I realized I checked System too, but it was too late.
Now my phone won't boot past the HTC logo with the red text underneath. I can boot into TWRP however so I hope all is not lost. I am currently at work so I have no way to try anything on the phone at the moment but was hoping for some advice on what to try later when I get home.
I'm thinking maybe I'll be able to use the "Mount" tab in TWRP to load a ROM on and flash and everything will be well again. Would I mistaken to think that? If not, I'll purchase an USB OTG cable and use a USB stick but I really need this up an running as quickly as possible.
Also, does anyone think it would be best just to go back to stock at this point (if I can) and start from scratch?
Much thanks for your help and advice,

So, oddly enough I did the same thing, How I managed to recover it so you can adb sideload a rom from TWRP and have access to a "working" phone again was to find your stock recovery.img, then flash it via fastboot, and then from the hboot menu, choose factory reset and let the stock recovery do it's thing, then reflash TWRP (I honestly like CWM doe) and adb sideload a rom (presumably what you were using before). It SHOULD fix your problem and you'll be able to mount files again.

By stock recovery.img you mean a stock HTC image? - or do you mean a recovery like TWRP or CWM?

Literally stock recovery.img, not TWRP or CWM.

K. Thanks. I have a feeling this is going to be a bit more complicated than I first thought...
I followed what you suggested and got the phone back up and working. Thanks again.
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.
I use TWRP 2.8.7.1(which was flashed to the phone) and now after flashing this nightly version, the recovery gets stuck on the TWRP screen and flashes every 60 seconds, but never lets me use it.
I've searched through all the forums, but can't find anyone else with this problem. I just want to flash CM12.1 Snapshot, but I can't without the recovery working.
Everytime I flash the same recovery(TWRP2.8.7.1), the bootloader gives me the error "Mismatched partition size". I've tried "Fastboot boot TWRP2.8.7.1.img, but it sits stuck on the loading TWRP screen. I've cleared the cache, but still nothing.
The only recovery that I can get to work is CWM by booting the .img from the bootloader, but that still does nothing because none of the directories will mount, so I cant flash from the recovery.
I'm waiting on motorola to send me the stock files and just reflash stock and start from scratch, but I really want to save my data.
Does anybody have any clue as to what I'm doing wrong before I reset to stock?

If this recovery doesn't work, you may have to reflash the full stock rom

Nope.. didn't work. I had the 5.0 files from motorola that I flashed, and I'll update from there.
I really wish motorola would leave those files open to download instead of having to wait... sucks not having a phone, but I survived.
i have the same issue, any idea how to fix it ?
Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I had a brand new Redmi 4X, and I was advised to install TWRP, root it, and install the Xiaomi.eu rom until LineageOS is released. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, managed to get into it once and now I can't do it again. When TWRP loaded it asked me for a password for decryption but it let me just skip it it seems (not sure if that is the problem) but now I can't boot normally, I can't boot into recovery, but fastboot seems to work okay. How do I go about fixing this?
I've tried reflashing TWRP but I still can't get to it, and I don't really know enough about this stuff to know where I've gone wrong.
UPDATE - I think this is to do with dm-verity and having the stock kernel installed. Now it's too late to undo what I've already done, so I hope to god that someone knows how to fix this.
UPDATE - Right, the problem is solved I think. I had to do an awful lot of googling, and I'm not entirely sure what it was specifically that fixed it. But I found a guide that taught me the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which saved the day. Even when my phone wouldn't let me into recovery, it allowed me to flash a no-verity.zip which i think is what allowed me to boot, and it allowed me to flash superSU.zip and then the ROM I was aiming for. And now I've booted into the ROM successfully and hopefully I am rooted and all is well. Plus I can access TWRP as normal now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing
EDIT
Turn off your device > Press and hold “Power” and “Volume +” buttons at the same time.
After short vibration signal release the power button and wait for TWRP to start.
To boot in stock recovery open “Update” app.
In the setting select “Boot in recovery”.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get into TWRP. Even if I could get into TWRP how would I get files on the phone to flash them?
Is it possible to flash any rom from the pc directly and if it is will this possibly help? I think it's not booting because the kernel is still stock.
I'm not sure what you mean in the edit, how do I boot into stock recovery without being able to boot the phone (and when I have already flashed TWRP)?

I just have been reading about this bootloop
Go over here and read all of the 6 pages..will not take much time but could help you out much

Hey, I have exactly the same problem. Latest stock rom, flashed twrp in fastboot and got into the boot loop. Nothing works. I can only enter fastboot. What exactly did you do then? What is this no-verity.zip? I can't find anything about it.
I had a problem
I unlocked bootloader then installed redwolf recovery and took a nandroid backup. After that i rebooted to system but stuck into bootloop, could not boot to recovery, could not boot into system, So the only thing worked was that i flashed fastboot rom with mi flasher. And syccessfully rebooted to system with bootloader locked and stock recovery. So, if anyone have same problem you can do the same. How do i install recovery safely again? Should i use TWRP only? Should i flash v3.1.0 with lazy flasher or v3.2 directly without lazy flasher? I don't want to stuck into bootloader again, have to get all data deleted.
I was on MUI9 Nougat 7.1.2. Unlocked my bootloader properly. Wanted to try out Google Camera. So I searched the forum, found TWRP 3.0.3 Installer. Installed the TWRP successfully. Then I thought of installing the new TWRP, so flashed TWRP 3.2.1 from the previous TWRP. When I booted back to Recovery, saw the Encryption Error. I never set any password. Got tensed. Searched the forums again for solution. Found that I have to format the data. So formatted the data, flashed LazyFlasher. Did not know what else to do, tried booting and got stuck in Bootloop. I only have Internal Storage. And have one OTG Pendrive in case it comes handy. Downloaded Dot OS 7.1.2 and tried to install it from the OTG by booting back to TWRP, failed, it said Corrupt ZIP, but the zip file was ok. So started the process again, rebooted back to TWRP, wiped everything and this time tried to flash an old MIUI9 Recovery ROM through it, it still gave the same error, Corrupt ZIP. So basically what I have left is that I can boot into TWRP and also Fastboot is working well. But dont know how to get past this Bootloop. Someone please help. Really urgent. So tensed. :crying:
do you flash miui rom in twrp or miflash? try to flash the miui rom with miflash and see if ur phone booted up or not.

Thanks bro. Never mind. Somehow managed to flash DotOS Nougat version through TWRP 3.0.3. Now bro please tell me one thing. I wont stay at DotOS, I dont like it, just flashed it to get through the bootloop. So now I have downloaded MIUI9 8.3.22 Developer Recovery ROM. Still having TWRP 3.0.3, BL Unlocked, ADB working, Fastboot working, USB Debugging everything taken care off. Just tell me steps to flash the Developer ROM now so that I dont go into bootloop again. Please. Thanks in advance.
ummm kinda easy actually, download the miflash software, open it, it should have the select, refresh, and flash menu. click select, and navigate to your rom file (u need to download the fastboot rom version! not the recovery version, should be easy to find in google. the format should be .tgz change it to rar, extract it, it will shows another rar extract it again, it should be folder now) that folder is your rom file. now enter fastboot mode, plug ur phone, and click refresh. it will shows some number and alphabet. if the number and alphabet appears, click flash! and wait! and ur phone will boot itself
sorry for **** english
1. Go to twrp...
2. Wipe (cache, data, dalvik/cache, system)
3. flash miui 9 dev 8.3.22
4. flash lazyflasher...
Reboot..
It will take more then 5 min to start (first boot usually take that much time)
Your phone boot normally....
If you are facing TWRP Recovery Issue then update TWRP
