I have used project treble images on my P10, but I always found something buggy so returned to stock emui. So the devices has Oreo partition table.
Now, however, no matter what I try, all GSI-s fail to boot. To be precise, they don't even show any bootlogo, just immediately reboot to the "your device is unlocked" screen. If I reflash a stock system backup from TWRP, everything is fine, except for that on the first boot the device boots into safe mode (I didn't know it even existed).
Does anybody know what's going on here?
EDIT: I forgot to mention, but I did a factory reset from both twrp and using fastboot -w

You need to do a factory reset with stock recovery to be able to boot GSIs. More info is on openkirin.net.

Oh, thanks. That would explain how my files remained after a "full" factory reset. I thought that after the encryption on the internal storage is gone (with the last factory reset before the GSI flash) it should not cause problems...

So I just recently received a new (to me) Nexus 6. Going through the process of unlocking the bootloader I forgot to do the command "fasboot reboot". I then installed TWRP and then booted into it. From there I rebooted the system and was brought to a screen that says encryption unsuccessful. I hit the reset button which brought me to twrp and asked for a password. I typed in "default_password", it did it's thing and rebooted to the same "encryption unsuccesful". I tried searching XDA as well as Google to no avail. When searching Google I found some threads for other devices but I didn't want to get into a worse situation than I'm already in so I thought I'd ask here before trying anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: I flashed the stock image (manually as the flash-all didn't work) and I was able to get the phone to boot up into Android. But whenever I reset the device it gives me the "Your device is corrupt" screen before booting into the system. And it seems like whenever I try to flash supersu or anything I'll get that message and then it just goes to a black screen and never boots into Android. I even tried to restore a TWRP backup and it still just went to the corrupt screen and then black. I was only able to get it to boot into Android after reflashing the stock images again. Is this a problem with the hardware or is there something I can do to fix it?
Edit: I've also noticed under internal storage it's only showing 23 GB available but this is the 64 GB model.

Did you format/wipe the system, data and caches - a complete factory reset ?
There are several things going on here.
1. Your device is corrupt message: This is a normal message that appears whenever you attempt to customize the device. It may also appear if there is an issue with the internal storage in general.
2. SuperSU: What version? You should be using the latest (2.76) or you risk having a bootloop.
3. TWRP: What version? Latest is 3.0.2-0. Older versions will offer to flash SuperSU. Don't accept the offer or you will enter a bootloop.
4. Internal storage: When you flashed the stock ROM you also flashed the userdata image in it, which caused you to lose half your storage. Simply wipe internal storage in TWRP to fix.
Your first thing is to fix your internal storage, which should be done through TWRP. From there, you will need to do a complete factory reset, as the failed encryption is the main reason you're getting a corrupt device warning. After the factory reset, restore the stock image, but do not flash userdata.img.
Thanks guys! Doing the factory data reset in stock recovery fixed it for me. It took about 30 minutes to complete, but now I've got root, twrp, and custom ROM and kernel with no issues.
Hi guys.
So after developing an audio bug on Lineage OS 15.1 (a story for another day) I decided to restore one of my old backups via TWRP (unofficial decrypt-friendly version).
I press restore, get some sort of error about mounting /system and then on reboot I get a message asking me to factory reset which takes me to TWRP. Not too surprised by this point because the Huawei bootloader is quirky.
However, when I go into TWRP, it simply gets stuck on the loading screen endlessly. I left it for several hours and it didn't budge. Rebooted several times.
I tried reflashing TWRP via fastboot, no dice, same result. I flashed the official recovery too. That loads fine, but obviously I can't restore with that because it doesn't support encryption.
So I'm a bit stuck here. I've read somewhere that it takes ages to load when you have plenty in the data and cache folders, which I do, but I really don't want to wipe because I have a full week of precious holiday photos and videos I wasn't able to back up (No access to a PC at the time).
Any advice?
Not sure how to fix the TWRP restore problem, but have you tried connecting to your PC while in TWRP? If I remember correctly, it'll allow you to connect to a computer so you could access your storage and backup the files you need.

Problem is that everything is encrypted, so even if it does show up it will be gobbledygook (nonsense).
Lesson to learn from this: always backup before trying to update ROM or flash something new.
I guess what you can do is to try to flash Lineage again and see if you can make that boot.

Yeah, there's a few reasons that happened. Usually I autobackup everything but I had been away from wifi for a week. I backed stuff up via Titanium but obviously that got encrypted too. Restores also have never given me problems in the past so I didn't expect anything to go wrong (still not sure what did).
Anyway, I'm not sure how to flash lineage without TWRP, especially with everything encrypted. To have any chance of getting it to work I'm guessing I'd need to flash it the same way I did originally, which was with everything decrypted which makes the issue moot. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Try flashing a treble rom via fastboot. Then wipe data and cache.
fastboot flash system "GSI. img"
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Thanks, but I'm trying to prevent loss of data. I'd probably just use e-recovery if I don't mind losing data and want to reset to start again from scratch.
Erasing userdata and cache is just factory reset. It won't wipe your internal storage which where your photos are kept.
Ok, turns out once I chose the "download latest firmware and stock recovery" from erecovery it didn't wipe the internal sd data!
Everything is still there and I can access it now from the huawei stock ROM even though I came from lineage OS. It thankfully does not reset the encryption keys or the pattern lock, so you'll be just fine once you do a system boot and go through the regular setup process.
I recommend this approach because it's pretty hassle free.

Glad you found a way to keep your files, mate
I had an issue where my tablet would just reboot over and over. So I tried to reset it using factory reset. This has me now in a recovery reboot loop.
Hardware:
Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T713) - wifi only
Software:
TWRP 3.1.0.1
Lineage OS 16
What I've tried:
Wiping cache and davalik cache several times
Formatting data
adb reboot fastboot
Wiping cache, davalik cache, and system (which made TWRP report no system of course)
adb sideload of lineage OS 16 - reported success but TWRP still said no system
re-flashing the lineage OS 16 ROM from SD card (this resolved the no system issue)
Reboot to system from TWRP and adb fastboot after the system re-flash
Odin won't respond and says it can't contact the tablet (multiple usb cords tried , etc) so no luck re-flashing OEM ROM
No matter what, it goes into recovery reboot and won't try to start the system. I can't find anything else to try through searches on XDA, google, etc. Any suggestions?
Not exactly the same, but I thought I had hard bricked my T713 about 9 months ago. I was on stock at the time (not even sure what build), and a bunch of wipes and formats later I was in a TWRP loop. I couldn't even power the machine down. Even that would loop me back to TWRP. I managed to back door my way into download mode by installing the boot.img from the external SD card. That didn't fix anything, but after that I was able to hold down power and volume down and spam the home button until I got to the download screen. After that I was able to get back into odin3_v3.12.5 and load the factory image. I am on LineageOS 16 official now, so I have no idea if this is of any help. I'm pretty sure the boot img came after drilling all the way into the XAR-T713XXU2BRB2_T713XAR2BRB2-20180206 file, since that is the one I eventually got to load.
Yes, I forgot to mention that symptom - it won't power down at all. Just goes back to TWRP.
I'll give that a try, thanks.

Flashing the boot.img file did it! I was able to get in to download and use Odin to reflaah the stock ROM. Now to switch to LOS.

I am so glad that worked for you.
I can only seem to get into fastboot mode with a Menu saying:
Restart Bootloader
Unlock Bootloader (Unlocked)
Wipe Userdata
Exit
I haven't been able to get to any download mode at all, just this menu and stock recovery, can someone please give me instructions on this? I've gotten different files and ways to root this from many different threads and I'm confused as hell.
Never rooted this RP2 before, it's on latest OTA MR2-RC001-RZR-190914.3123. Got it unlocked before and it's been unlocked for a while but didn't go further with rooting because I got confused and didn't want to brick my expensive phone. Last phone I rooted was back on kitkat or lollipop before I switched to iPhone, so I'm not a total noob just rusty. But Razer got me back to Android and it''s changed alot. I need detailed advice please. :good: And if my instinct is telling me correctly I'd assume something is changed about the bootloader in MR2 thats affecting me right now?
That menu is the bootloader/download mode.

Have you unlocked critical partition?
https://developer.razer.com/razer-p...6.1692205032.1582602359-1206928491.1581902985
Razer recommends you use a USB 3 Type-A to Type-C spec-compliant cable for any device flashing.
THE CABLE THAT CAME WITH THE PHONE WILL NOT WORK.
If you have everything unlocked then make sure you do this
https://s3.amazonaws.com/cheryl-fac...stall_Android_Fastboot_Drivers_on_Windows.pdf
Or install using this tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/tool-adb-fastboot-installer-tool-windows-t3999445
If you make it this far then it's a matter of typing in the correct path in fastboot.
fastboot flash boot "arter97 name here".img
Then from the fastboot menu scroll down to boot to recovery or type fastboot reboot recovery
TWRP should boot if you installed the correct kernel.
In TWRP hit cancel then swipe to make modifications and install magisk 20.3
Profit

Okay so I couldn't flash anything originally simply because i didn't have Bootloader Interface installed. Figured that out and had everything working, unlocked, Arter Kernel 12, Magisk 20.3, EdXposed, and now after I edited build.prop to enable my regular hotspot without carrier permission and reboot. Well now I really can't flash sh?t. Even though I can get into bootloader & Recovery, when I try to fastboot flash MR1 Stock or MR2 stock just to get back into the phone it freezes on the razer logo and eventually reboots and repeats. Then i have to Reflash arter to get back into TWRP after I try to flash anything else which otherwrites Arter97.img. Finally read the red text in TWRP and /data was refusing to mount, fixed that by a basic ass wipe (DUH) Hoping that might have been the issue, my data folder was corrupt or my old data folder was mismatching with the rest of the new roms i tried to flash? Idk someone smarter plz tell me. So far my next attempt is going to be downloading a flashable Stock Deodoxed ZIP to see if flashing from within TWRP now that /Data will mount makes a difference compared to Fastboot. Tried fastboot flashing MR1 and MR2 Normal Razer Stock Rom after data remounted and now i can get to the green vortex/visualizer screen instead of just the Razer Logo before it STILL loops and then when it loops again a second time it sends me to TWRP automatically.

Will it not let you flash stock using flash_all.bat file while in fastboot mode?
I would definitely try and start over for sure if possible
As the title suggest, I fail to boot into TWRP.
I have unlocked the phone and flashed TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/raphael/twrp-3.3.1-0-raphael.img).
I could boot into TWRP using Power + Volume Up , wiped everything (except vendor) and pushed a custom rom to the internal storage.
I restarted the phone for some reason and cannot boot into TWRP anymore. Whatever I do, I end up in fastboot. Tried to flash various versions of TWRP with the same result.
Can you guys help me out?
Edit: I flashed the corresponding Xiaomi fastboot image and repeated the process, same problem.
Edit: Solved by repeating again.

In future, don't wipe everything. You should only need to do the factory reset in TWRP, which will automatically wipe data, cache and dakvik. If you are flashing over MIUI then you will also need to format data.
There is almost never any need to wipe anything else in TWRP when doing normal custom ROM flashing.
