Hi, after the installation of official TWRP my phone was stuck into the loading bar. I tried recover it following a guide but now when I turn it on it asks to perform a factory reset, maybe I didn't use the right rom version, I don't know. I think that this issue is fixable but I don'w know how. I can go into fastboot and recovery. I also unlocked the phone. Please help me, thanks.
On what version of ROM were you?
Download stock ROM of your version, extract boot.img from images folder, and flash boot.img via fastboot.
Did you flash twrp to the active partition? to the inactive partition? Do you know?
If you can get to fastboot, it's not bricked. I'd suggest, as you indicate you have the option to reset to factory, go ahead and do that. Trying to fix it when yer not sure what you've done so far, **may** end up with it actually being bricked.

So my phone has decided to soft-brick itself after upgrading to Lollipop. It never even made it a single normal bootup after the upgrade. I get to the Optimizing Apps screen and then it shuts itself down after that finishes. I can't get into the OS, but I can boot into Recovery Mode. I've tried to wipe the cache partition to no luck. I haven't tried to Wipe Data/Factory Reset because I want to try and recover my data.
I haven't rooted the device or put on a custom recovery. Is there any way to get in there and grab the files off? I can see the device listed under 'fastboot devices' using ADB but don't know where to go from here. I tried to flash a custom recovery but it doesn't work because the bootloader is locked?
Am I basically screwed and my only option to just factory reset and lose my data?
I found a rooted ROM on rootjunkysdl (sorry I'm new and can't link) Can I use RSDLite to flash that on the device and go from there?

The rooted rom that you see there is a kitkat rom. Since your bootloader is now expecting lollipop, flashing that would be a very bad idea. In fact, since you've taken the lollipop update, the odds of you ever being able to root your device are unfortunately near 0. But to answer your question, full firmware files for the 5.1 Turbo firmware have not yet been released by Verizon. That's what you would need to flash with RSDlite. So your options are to wait for those or to factory reset.

Would something like this work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/turbo-unbrick-t3139811
If it's just for a hardbrick could I flash the wrong firmware then use this tool to get it working again?

At a glance, it seems like that should work. I'm not too familiar with that method. Also, you're in luck. It seems that Verizon dropped the official image today. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...-5-1-image-t3152229/post61744745#post61744745
I have bricked my phone after Magisk install fail.
I first unlocked bootloader succesfully
then i installed twrp succesfully
then i flashed magisk using twrp - this failed and sent device to erecovery. (which won't find package)
i used twrp to wipe data, now i was able to boot, and it installed like a fresh EMUI. However, almost all apps were broken- could not download themes/camera shut down etc.
To fix this, i wanted to restore to stock and did the following: download update package for my VTR-L09 of EMUI b175 (I was on b162 before), used Huawei Update Extractor to extract files and flashed BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG. This was done without error.
Now my phone won't boot at all. I am stuck at the 'your device can't be trusted' screen. I cannot go into recovery. When I connect via USB, I hear the chime in Windows but I can't seem to connect with ADB.
What to do now?? Am I hard-bricked? I hope that anyone knows how to deal with my phone bricked like this. Please help me to solve this issue.
Best of wishes.
Edit: I am able to enter forced recovery, however updates fail at 5%.
I am also able to fastboot with USB, however I am unsure what to do next.
I unbricked my phone! Many thanks to who ah way and his solution found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-unbricking-p10-using-hwota-windows-t3714416
:victory:
why are you doing it when you dont understand it?
You cannot flash part of B175 firmwar eover B162 firmware.. OMG.
use the HWOTa to go back to stock and please stop playing with the device without propper knowledge
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)?

Hii
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.
Hi,
I decided to try to install the custom lineage ROM that was here.
I downloaded the ROM, followed the steps to install orange fox custom recovery. I flashed the ROM, rebooted and got stuck on the realme logo. Luckily I was able to bypass this boot loop and get back into recovery. Now that I am there, I just want to revert my phone to stock to avoid any more issues. My Bootloader is unlocked.
Question: How do I revert my phone to completely stock Realme X2 Pro / realme ui 1.0. I have an .ozip file containing the stock ROM. I do not want to permanently brick my device, please help. How do I revert all the partitions/ROM back to normal. Thank you.
EDIT: I tried flashing the ozip file, but when I rebooted it was still stuck on the logo screen. What should I do?
The issue has been solved, thank you.
Try to help me

I had the same problem just yesterday and i have successfully locked the bootloader and am back to stock rom.
Now this is not my method i read it here on xda but cant find that thread now.
First of all go to fastboot and in cmd type fastboot -w (this should wipe internal storage)
Then boot into recovery
Go to advanced wipe(cache, dalvik, system,data)
Go back into wipe menu and do format data and press yes.
Then reboot to recovery through reboot menu in recovery
It will ask for conformation as no rom is installed but continue to reboot.
Then flash the ozip(if you have a recovery compatibe to flash ozip otherwise use alpropriate zip file for flashing rom. In my case i had unofficial twrp).
After flash completes dont do anything and just reboot to system this should replace custom recovery with stock one.
Then reboot to recovery to check if it is replaced with a stock one.(Never try to lock bootloader with custom recovery installed it will hard brick your device.)
Then if stock recovery is installed reboot to bootloader and in cmd type
Fastboot flashing lock
Then accept the msg on phone to lock bootloader it will wipe your data and then you will have a phone with locked bootloader.
I again want to inform you that this is not my post but i had read it somewhere on xda i will try to find it and then put a link to it here.
So I was messing around with my newly bought M4 Pro 5G and I wanted to root it. I started the process of unlocking the phone(bootloader) a week ago and just yesterday I was actually able to do it. Then I installed TWRP to get a backup of the system but I guess that during that process I managed to wipe the whole system. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop that only shows the POCO logo and nothing else. Pressing VOL+/VOL- and Power button don't do anything at all and I think I've run out of options. I was wondering if there is anything I could do to install OS or TWRP back because for some reason it doesnt want to go into neither Fastboot or TWRP(I think I didnt install it properly because I had to use console commands almost everytime I wanted to launch it). Title sums up the problem.
Try to flash boot.img file of you stock ROM. It can help to exit bootloop. Or if this does not work i recommend you to reflash full rom once again from MI FLASH TOOL.
Hope it will help you.

Doesn't the phone have to be on fastboot to flash? I'm stuck in the POCO logo by the way. I haven't tried the "reflash full rom", is there anything else I might need besides the ROM and MI FLASH TOOL?
