[Q] soft Bricked with twrp recovery

Ok today I rooted my lg g2 installed twrp all fine. Then I decided to install the new kit kat Rom. All ready to go went to wipe everything to start a clean install then stupidly wiped the internal storage too. So can't restore back up and can't install the blasted Rom. Phone will get as far as the lg logo. I can get into recovery but usb mounting doesn't work and Adb sideload will not start. If I try to use Adb push it says nothing is attached. Odd thing is the storage left being reported in twrp is just over 10 gig and it is a 16 gig phone so I thought it should be more. I know if it is booting into recovery there is hope but I'm stumped . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to flash your variant older ROM/radio . 16GB phone should have around 11-12GB as free

TWRP OTG to load rom
I was using the d80010d_to_20c.zip firmware + SuperSu.zip + TWRP 2.7.0.0.zip.
i.e. "kitkat" with a custom recovery and root.
I had only the 3 above zips on the phone.
d80010d_to_20c.zip contains the kk_system and a custom kk_kernel, no bootloader.
The bootloader came from the LGFlashTool and a d80010d.tot file on my laptop.
After taking the April 8 OTA from AT&T, my phone was stuck in recovery.
Could not get into download mode or use ADB.
I made the mistake of wiping my phone hoping to get download mode to work.
I should have used the terminal in TWRP and typed:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
which has been reported to work. After wiping the phone it was too late for this.
I was stuck in TWRP 2.7.0.0 which has OTG capability, so I loaded a usb flash drive with d800_Kitkat.zip,
connected it to my phone via an OTG cable, and copied d800_Kitkat.zip to the sdcard using TWRP.
Then flashed it using TWRP. I also flashed SuperSU.zip before booting to system. I'm back to stock Kitkat + root.
I'm hoping someone with Kitkat + root reports whether the April 8 AT&T OTA works on a rooted phone.
We know it fails badly on a custom recovery phone with Jellybean bootloader/custom Kitkat kernel/Kitkat system.
AT&T claims that it just updates Google+, Google Wallet, and makes Google Hangouts the default messaging app
which sounds safe but isn't.

if you can get in recovery then you should also be able to get into donwload mode. Have you tried flashing a kdz for your phone through the lg flash tool?

I can confirm root on AT&T new ota is fully functional. No problems thus far. I haven't tried a custom recovery yet though
Edit. Can confirm xposed is working as well. Has anyone with the new ota and root tried this yet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496

Thanks for replies been trying all day and can't pc to even recognise phone. Goes into download mode but no Adb or sub connectivity think it's drivers so trying on different pc .

[QWondarrenmdr;51867286]Thanks for replies been trying all day and can't pc to even recognise phone. Goes into download mode but no Adb or sub connectivity think it's drivers so trying on different pc .[/QUOTE]well not a lot of hope all the kdz files failed tried using Adb sideload no dice. Giving up for today will try again t I tomorrow

ok now this is getting silly. I managed eventually by using Koush's drivers to get adb to work and got cm11 working. Whoopee at least the phone works. So I make a backup. then wipe remembering this time to check the backup works. Then install new 4.4 rom. Restarts but then the touch screen input is all over the place so I can't get anything to work. Ok fine go back to recovery and restore from backup.
But noooooooooooo:crying: The flipping TWRP Recovery has gone. I can get as far as the phone saying it is going to install TWRP and reboot, but it doesn't and doesn't. The KDZ files I've found don't seem to work and the part on the lg support tool that starts updating the phone after you have changed to Korean does zip zilch nada. I can get into download mode.
So is there a CM or lightweight kdz file I can try rather than these 2 gig monstrosities?
Any idea why R and D Test tool doesn't work? I've followed instructions and videos?
Why do I do this every time I get a new phone, it was fine I could have waited but no I had to go and tinker
I know this is fixable because I can get into a software installation but I am stumped at the moment.
Any sort of help or pointing to other tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

fixed
Wow what a kerfuffle. After all that I am back to a stock 4.2 Rom with bloat but I don't care the thing works.
All that was wrong was a # in the wrong place.
Next time read and read again. It's like carpenters with their measures twice cut once

cant restore? let me see the recovery log. Maybe the emmc chip is going bad or you need to make sure odin re partitions your phone when you go back to stock.

I didn't tick repartition when i flashed the stock rom i just ticked f.reset and auto reboot its just a twrp problem i think @travis82 because in twrp factory reset Failed format data failed sometimes and backup always failed and restore not showing backup files i installed super su with very difficulty because also the installation option not working fine, su or custom rom dirty install

Rooting phone after factory reset issues, advice please?

Hi everyone, I had my phone rooted and had TWRP, Magisk fake GPS etc all up and running so I could play a certain GPS based game.
The updated game stopped working so in trying to fix it I ended up factory resetting my phone. So a couple of things, I am trying to follow a guide but I am not sure it is best suited to my current problem. TWRP app says my phone isn't rooted any longer (factory reset?) and when I try to re root the phone I get to this screen but cannot do anything except press volume down key + power key for 7 seconds to reset.
Does it look broken? How do I start all over again with a fresh root to get my phone set up again please?

Twrp does not detect whether your phone is rooted or not.
What guide did you follow?
Stuck at which Samsung logo ( Samsung powered by Android or Samsung with blue led light) and how long did you wait?
Being from a factory reset your phone is probably re-encrypted so you will have to format data and flash no Verity zip again.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonGoSpoofing/comments/9kzf4g/tutorial_spoofing_on_all_android_devices/
All worked well until yesterday when a pokemon update downloaded. So I reverted the game file back a build and it worked again.
Then today I had a notification saying there is a magisk update, in magisk manager it says ""Magisk is not installed. Latest v18.1 (18100)"". Then trying to boot into pokemon go the game will not launch as my software is incompatible.
So basically I figured I will do a phone factory reset and set it all up again with the edited guide since the updates and I am now running into errors. I have managed to since get into the phone and can get into TWRP recovery again but I cannot get magisk to instal, this is my question on reddit and where I am at currently...
Hello everyone,
I am having huge issues here. I was using the pinned guide from here method for around 6 weeks until today. I set my phone back to factory settings as I had a lot of issues. Phone is as new now but TWRP is still installed as a recovery mode available. I am on a samsung galaxy s8.
Whenever I try to install Magisk via TWRP flashing method I get "install magisk failed to mount '/data' (no such process)"
If I reset the phones file system so try EXT 2,3 etc and eventually set it back on EXT 4 then magisk installs seemingly but then my phone resets to factory and I do not see magisk anywhere once setting my phone up again.
Then if I install magisk manager it says "Magisk is not installed. Latest v18.1 (18100)"
I cannot do anymore to get set up until I get magisk going again.
Please can anybody advise?

Can't help with pokemon as I don't play it
In regards with twrp/magisk after you factory reset your phone would have re-encrypted itself so in twrp you will have to format data reboot back into twrp flash the no Verity zip and magisk again.
Note: Once phone is up and running with root I would do a twrp backup first then try your Pokemon guide so if you run into troubles you can restore from backup.

help me, son bricked he's phone.

Hi Guys,
My son has a MI9T.
Hé wanted to flash a custom rom the day after he got this phone from me (why i dont know) but he never did it before. And i aM no expert either.
Hé installed a few custom kernals, and roms and TWRP'S and dont actually know what hé is dooing.
But the phone is stuck in startup screen with Every rom he installed so far.
Hé did no backups from the working device either........???
The phone have working TWRP now and unlocked bootloader.
i tried to do the Xiaomi recovery (Miflashtool) but wont work either cuz of the fault:
Anti Rollback protection and i cant find a right firmware for IT.
The anti rollback protection is on 1 on this phone.
Can Any one help me out maybe?
or is the phone already to throw away?

Hi. The anti-rollback protection exists purely in a file in the fastboot image. Here is a tutorial on how to avoid triggering it on our device:
https://telegra.ph/Fix-fastboot-flashing-problems-09-20
The reason that no roms he tried are booting is most likely that on this device he has to wipe data + internal storage after flashing or it will most likely not boot.

Download the latest fastboot rom for your device. Extract it and open the flash_all.bat file with Notepad++. Remove all the lines before "fastboot% erase.." line. Then run the bat file.

Try to Flash fastboot rom from EDL mode... You have unlocked bl, download this tool
https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiAD...ad/6.6.2/XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.6.2-Win.zip
Put phone with this tool in EDL mode and try to flash fastboot rom.

Move the fastboot rom folder (with the modified bat file) to C:/. Then try flashing again with miflashtool.

nothing worked for me. tried all the above and many other tricks but no.

OK! Let's try something different. First of all, the phone is not dead, so, don't worry. We just have to figure it out.
Enter TWRP, format DATA, tipe Yes (it's not wipe, it's format data).
Just to be sure, flash the latest TWRP https://dl.twrp.me/davinci/twrp-3.4.0-0-davinci.img
Since you formated data, you will have no files on your phone (be shure of that, if it isn't empty, you haven't formated data), you have to tranfer this TWRP from the computer or OTG.
After flashing TWRP, reboot to recovery. Now, let's flash some stable rom. Try this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...K20MI9T_V12.0.4.0.QFJCNXM_v12-10.zip/download
Flash only the rom (no magisk, nothing). Reboot! Now, wait patiently. The first boot will take time (from 5 to 10 minutes).
Then, give us feedback. Ground your son until the weekend. Good luck, mate!

Hi
Do you find solutions???

used the above steps except edl mode and was able to sucessfully flash fastboot rom without crc list error

Messed up my Lineage install in TWRP, please help

HI everyone
I was trying to install Lineage 15.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 through TWRP. But I made a mistake by extracting the zipped rom and zipped GApps and installing that on my phone hardrive.
I couldn't install the OS or GApps. I pressed the button "intall image", which it then found as "boot.img", so I selected that and then installed it under boot partition rather than recovery. Obviously didn't work because I tried to reboot the phone, and it just came up with the Samsung galaxy logo, and the words Set Warranty Bit : Kernel
By pulling the power and re-entering recovery mode, I can get into TWRP no problem. So what should I do now? Is there a way to access my drive and install zip files, can I still install the OS somehow from the unzipped files or can I undo what I've done.
See attached images
Thanks

I was just thinking, maybe I should save the zip files to a microsd card and try to install it that way. But I don't want to make it any worse than it already is

Can't you try re-installing stock rom? (AKA Odin Flash with your Note 4 regional firmware)
Speaking of your Note 4... What is your model number?

Yeah. Having done a bit of reading around the subject I think you're right. I'll give that a go. The model number is N910F

Did what you said webhook. Managed to install Lineage OS. Having a few problems installing MindtheGapps but I'll keep trying. Which version should I be downloading for my Galaxy Note 4 SM-910F? The 32 or 64bit? Thanks

Having a lot of issues with MindtheGApps. I tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions.
Without realising I should adb sideload the apps, I tried to install them straight after installing lineage. It installed, but then when I entered Lineage, only 3 google apps were available. Play store, google search engine, and Google voice search. No gmail, maps etc. So I figured it hadn't actually installed, and these came packaged with Lineage 15.1. But since then I have wiped the phone and started over with just Lineage. They disappeared.
Then I tried to follow the instructions here (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/taimen/install) which say I need to restart the phone into recovery mode after installing lineage.
Then select "Apply update". This isn't an option for me in my TWRP which is the latest version for Europe.
But it does have Advanced > ADB Sideload. So I selected that to run it, but it fails. Can see all that in my video:
So I'm stuck now. No idea how to get MindtheGapps installed.
Could I maybe try Flashfire or is there some other way round this.
Thanks

You should install other Gapps instead.

Thanks. I did also try Slim Gapps and A-Gapps but those wouldn't even install. At least MindtheGapps did. Any ones in particular you would suggest?
