[Q] Sprint M7 Soft Bricked?

There seems to be a lot of Soft Brick problems going around. Don't worry! I've looked into the other posts to find a solution for my own, but I get stuck at a certain point and would rather not try to steal the post or bring it up from the graveyard.
Basic Details: Tried to factory reset after having a ROM and root. Now no OS and no root according to TWRP.
Data isn't mounting in TWRP recovery, so I can not add a new ROM to flash nor is my device listed in "adb devices"
Main problem as of right now: Data not being mounted
I've tried wiping the data through TWRP in attempts to fix it, but it didn't work out.
Still stuck in HTC logo on boot, unless I go into recovery.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Use the option "Format Data" in twrp. Your data partition is corrupt wiping it isn't enough. In TWRP go to "Wipe" then select "Format Data" You will be prompted to type yes to confirm. When its done Reboot to recovery and you should be able to push and flash a rom. Assuming you know your recovery and rom should be Specifically Sprint compatible that should get you up again

Hi Danny!
I tried doing a Format Data and rebooted into Recovery. "adb devices" still does not list it as a device attached and my computer still isn't mounting the data/system.

What is your device listed as in Device Manger on your PC. ? If its listed as unknown device se Q)2 in the FAQ post to fix your drivers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52135024
If its anything else post here, if its not detected at all it could be your USB cable or the port on your device.

PERFECT! It's not being displayed as a device attached and in recovery.
Thanks Danny!
Originally it was being shown in Other Devices with a m7 related name, rather than in unknown device. I did the same process in Q)2 of that FAQ post and it worked out!
Just went through a RUU and it all works out too. Thanks again for the help Danny, all is well!

Can't flash rom properly, and now stuck at gapps installation

Hello, I managed to unlock my bootloader and root my phone using cwm touch [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863]. All was going well. I decided to get cm12 nightly edition [http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-cyanogenmod-12-official-nightlies-t2995218]. I followed the instructions, but i was stuck at a bootloop (my phone is S-On, so I had to follow the extra instructions).
I realized while flashing a second time that there were error messages such as "failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1" and "unmount of /system failed; no such volume". I recall uninstalling htc sync manager so as to make my phone s-off, but i didnt bother doing anything else to s-off. I later realized that my phone didnt show up as a usb device although it was detected, meaning that I can't copy roms to the internal storage. I decided to try the command prompt method of flashing the image and then installing it in cwm, but when I was installing the GApps [http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-updated-gapps-basic-medium-t3070193] ( the medium package), cwm is stuck at "Unmounting system partition". I'm now bat**** scared because I really do not want to mess with system stuff, so I am going to sleep and wait for help. Please help me, this is my first time doing any of this rooting business, please.

Thank you for the replies, but what do I do now? Like the phone is literally stuck at "Unmounting system partition". Do I force shutdown?
Edit: Also, how do I flash twrp if I can't get my usb to work?
Edit 2: I managed to stop the "unmounting system partition" thing by pulling out my usb. But my phone still doesn't show up as usb so how do I get twrp? If I boot it will go to a bootloop
Edit 3: I managed to flash twrp using the adb thing, didnt have to mount usb. ( I still cant mount usb tho, how do I get that?
Edit 4: INSTALLED CM12 PROPERLY AND BOOTED!! THANKS FOR TELLING ME TO GET TWRP GUYS! My usb still doesnt mount, don't know why (mtp is enabled). Also, I keep getting an "Unfortunately google play services has stopped" notificaion.
Edit 5: When I rebooted my phone it asked me again what I wanted to do with the device then I clicked open with explorer and it worked. Then, I transferred Gapps minimal edition (to get play services again) and then flashed it with twrp. everything works! thanks

Corrupted Data Recovery?

I was backing up files when switching to a new N6. A temporary boot.img triggered the encryption process. Not thinking it through, I rebooted at about 4% complete. I now only get the "encryption unsuccessful" message advising me to wipe it and start over. I hadn't backed up since Nov and will lose a lot of important files if I can't recover at least something. I made TWRP and TiBu backups but didn't pull them before this happened. I understand the data is likely corrupted, but is there ANY chance a method might allow me to recover anything?
I found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...o-repairing-corrupted-data-partition-t2577447
Couldn't get Philz recovery to flash but TWRP has ADB sideload as well. I can get it to recognize the device as adb devices but the adb shell command just says error: closed. Am I wasting my time or might this be possible? Not sure if I could wipe everything but internal storage and flash something that might help. Please help!

For anyone reading, the OP's question is a follow-up to this thread.
OP, You're wasting your time. The guide you linked to covers a situation where the device owner doesn't let a ROM upgrade or install optimize the apps at start due to being impatient. The guide author was able to resolve his problem because when he wrote it, he was on Android 5.0, which doesn't have device encryption.
The only way to resolve this is to do as the "encryption unsuccessful" message advises.

yup. botched encryption = lost data, no way around it.

[Q] [HELP] 3T stuck on TWRP screen. Data partition likely corrupted?

Sorry. I wouldn't post here unless I was absolutely desperate.
This started when I was getting an error message when trying to make a data backup with TWRP. So I tried to follow a suggestion online to repair my data partition with the TWRP format tool. However, it stalled so I forcibly rebooted my phone.
Now my phone can't boot into the OS and only gets stuck on the TWRP splash screen. I can use 'adb shell' from my PC when I'm on TWRP but I'm not able to see my data files with the 'ls' command.
I can boot into the fastboot screen on my phone, but I'm not able to connect from my PC. So I'm not sure how I can flash TWRP.
I've tried to use the following guide with no success. I keep getting an error message about "Sahara Communication Failed."
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306
Thanks for reading.

The guide I linked miraculously worked after I tried again. I just had to delete all traces of the old 3T drivers from my PC and reboot. Sorry for making a thread.

MI8 SE (with unlocked bootloader) turns on in fastboot

I ask for help, please. Thanks in advance!
By mistake I have NOT enabled developer options and USB debugging.
I downloaded with PC and copied in the phone xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8SE_V10.2.1.0.OEBCNFK_v10-8.1. This is to update the previous and excellent xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8SE_V10.0.1.0.OEBCNFH_v10-8.1.
I restarted from updates in TWRP recovery. The work of TWRP seemed all right until the restart. He restarted in Fastboot and left them. (I can turn it off by entering the folder TWRP_sirius_9.img and clicking on the file flash_twrp.bat) - If I try to turn it back on or insert the USB cable, the result is always just starting in fasboot. It is not blocked because in ADB fastboot responds. But the device is not seen in ADB.
The PC sees it as "Android bootloader interface". I would like to have detailed instructions to get out of this impasse. It does not matter if data or other data is deleted. I just need to recover my beloved Mi8 SE. Thanks again for the help you can give me.

Thank you. I'll be old, I'm not a technician and I do not know English, but I tried and did not find anything that could solve my problem. I hope in some kind person that maybe give me some precise indication. Maybe also to show me where, in the section, I can find the solution. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You are funny guy!
you posted already here:
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi8-se-with-unlocked-bootloader-turns-on-in-fastboot.48681/
You got answered. But worse than that answers were given two threads up....
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi-8-se-how-to-install-xioami-eu-9-1-3.48537/
what have you done since?

RESOLVED!!!
A sincere thanks to all for the valuable suggestions that, unfortunately, have not solved. But after weeks of trying and headaches, everything was successful reflecting with the MiFlashPro tool (first through fastboot I deleted the system, data, etc ....). Now it's like new. Thank you again!

It depends on your situation!
Normaly you have flash new rom with 1102 twrp and BEFORE reboot install new 1227 twrp and then you reboot rom system.
I posted one of the numerous link for solution 2 posts AGO!!!
read.

I have the same problem
==SOLVED==
What I did:
1) Boot on TWRP
-fastboot flash recovery TWRP-1227.img
-fastboot boot TWRP-1227.img
-reboot recovery (power + vol up)
2) Sing TWRP (i guess this is optional?)
-Advanced -> sing boot
3) Do not reboot after install
-Go to setting and uncheck "Reboot after installation is complete"
4) Install same image used when you installed the system
-Click on install and select the zip the system image (don't use the "install image" button)
5) From main menu press Reboot->System
