@Jonnyredcorn Did you restore from a backup? If so try from a new device

Why nt make a clean flash and see if it persists or not?

I had this exact same problem, and assuming that you did a dirty flash (did not erase your data), this is why it's being caused
After flashing Android L onto your device it is attempting to run the "First installation" screen but is in conflict with booting up normally as you have already completed the setup.
To confirm this = Try "unlocking and locking" your phone with the power button, you should see the install menu flash up briefly, for a second or less, if that's the case then you're in the exact same situation I was in
There was an old fix for this, but isn't very reliable now, it's worth a shot anyway
"adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity"
This will force the installation overlay on top of the black screen allowing you to "setup" your phone again despite already doing it.
If this fails then your only hope is a fresh reinstall

I don't believe I did a dirty flash. I was under the understanding if I flash the factory images it did to clean white I didn't do a clean wipe and recovery prior to booting into the bootloader and flashing the factory images. I did not restore from a backup this is my first time going from KitKat to lollipop I do not see the installation screen pop up when unlocking and locking my phone

Ah okay then,
I'd suggest attempting a reinstall
If you modify the flash-all.bat removing the "-w" command, which wipes your phone, you'll be able to retain any data currently on the phone.
But as you've said you think you've wiped over it anyway, just complete another wipe over the device and flash it again, better yet download a fresh ROM first

OK so my issue was I forgot to flash the userdata.img which caused me to dirty flash. I just redid the whole thing and it's working it's working perfectly now thanks for all your help guys

[Q] Strangely bricked phone

Hello to everyone.
I have phone LG g pro 2 D838 made in Korea, that has strange symptoms. When it boots, appear screen with keyboard and input box with text ''Enter PIN/password to decrypt 30/30 attempts remaining". After I entered some code, it shows "29/30 attempts remaining, and no matter how many times wrong code is entered, still remains 29/30. Download mode working, and I try to flash latest stock rom 10f, but nothing happened. Then I try stock roms 10a, 10b and 10d, but still nothing. Next to the download mode, I have a recovery mode, in which there is no menu. In this mode, it is possible to access phone with ADB, but everything is read only, and system is not mounted. I can list folder contents, but I can't push or pull, and when i try to use shell, I get a message " -exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory", because system partition is not mounted. ADB Remount generate error " remount failed: Success ". I forgot to mention that every time when i try to flash stock rom, in box on phone display was written, in red letters, 'ROOTED'. I guess that unroot is not succeeded . Also suppose that possible solution is to flash some custom rom with recovery, but i can do that only if I have it in KDZ format. Does anyone know how to make a custom rom in KDZ format, or someone already has it? Does anyone know some other solution?

From what it looks like, you've encrypted your phone. That explains the password on startup and the unmounted system.
If you don't know your encryption password, you have a bit of a problem on your hands.
From what I know, there's no way to hack into or change your phone when it's encrypted.

In first, thank you on reply ,Turtle_Cookies.
If the phone is encrypted, it should be possible to reset it to factory settings. The user data is encrypted, so it would delete them and set to the default settings, and that should recover the phone. On the other hand, I can access to certain directories by ADB (like etc,sys), but can't change it. Am I right?

Same Issue
Did you found solution to this?

twrp - can't install this package on top of incompatible data

i have followed all the steps using NRT to unlock boot-loader and root the phone.
Installed TWRT manager and flashed the recovery.
Now i am trying to flash CM12 for the first time and stuck with error message "can't install this package on top of incompatible data" during flashing .
downloaded the following flash zip from CM website: cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO237-hammerhead.zip (281.77 MB)
Can any one help me what needs to be done to proceed further.

i didnt wipe the data before. Now its working and closing the thread

I wiped everything on my phone via TWRP. Still getting this error!

This topic is old but in case someone else gets here I got a solution - Change /data partition filesystem to ext4 or other supported by ROM

This guide might help, you do it in TWRP by going to Format > Advanced > select partition > Change filesystem > Ext4

Wiping data worked for me

In twrp, I had to fumble around to find advance wipe to clear data but worked like charm after that.
Thank you!

xiaomi note 4g dior
Let me tell my story,
My friend gave me an old xiaomi note 4g which was stuck at the MI icon on boot,
Luckily the phone did not lock boot-loader
So I use xiaomi flash rom to flash global room , it worked after i tried sometimes.
Then I booted to the phone, and other problem came, the phone was linked with an Mi Account , and my friend forgot everything about it
not email, no phone number
I did a search and they said the only way to bypass the MiAccount is using a Resurrection ROM or balallala
so I ended up with using
1. fastboot to install twrp
2. open twrp --> open adb sideload mode.
3. Open window command line and install Resurrection ROM though adb sideload
While installing rom though adb slideload , i got the same issue with topic
SO i cleared data and tried again,
IT WORKED , NO MORE ****ING MiAccount
THANK a lot

Hi
Playing with my wife's Nexus 5, bootloader unlocked, rooted, and latest TWRP installed but when trying to flash from android 6.0.1 to Lineage, I'm getting an error 7 image shown I hope.....
Is this just because I haven't wiped the data first ? (I'm fairly sure but...)
I dont dare try 'cause if it's not that she'll kill me, so would like to be sure before I wipe all her data..
Thanks
Update, it was that I just wiped all except the SD and flashed, all is just great

Wiped my Nexus 5 with TWRP and won´t get to the start screen

Hello guys!
I wanted to wipe my LG Nexus 5 before i could install Cyanogenmod 13, and get Marshmallow ( i was in android 5.1 ).The thing is I went to the TWRP recovery mode, then wipe>advanced wipe>dalvik cache,data, internal storage,cache and then I swipe to wipe. When this process finished i went on reboot>system and it began rebooting. The Google logo came and the little color bubbles showed up. But then IT DIDNT SHOW THE START PAGE. You can still power it off and go to TWRP, but nothing more. Also, my windows pc only recognizes it as 'something' but can't do anything with it.
Have I bricked my device? Or... is there a solution?
Thanks
Lewis

Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
you didn't wiped the system but something must corrupted it. Now I would go to TWRP and enable MTP under the point Mount. Then download CyanogenMod and GApps.
Now wipe system too. Flash and have fun.
Regards

Enabling MTP
Could you tell me how to exactly do that? When in TWRP, i hit mount and the thing i can do is select partitions to mount. How do i enable MTP?
Thanks A LOT!

In version 2.6.3.4, there is no Mtp in mount page.
when i get to mount, i get the same options as you, (system,data,cache,persist,firmware,USB-OTG), and to select storage. I am in this older version (v2.6.3.4), is MTP anywhere else?
Thanks again and sorry for taking you time to help me

I don't know but it must be there.
Can you update to 3.0.0.0?

I don't think so. If I can't get to the start page, i can't install the newest version. Can I still flash it? And how?

I recommend updating to the latest version of TWRP and then try.

If you are the getting the following error, "Verification Failed, unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset you device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data" on your Android Smartphone don't worry because together we can resolve the issue.

I did, in fact, i even reinstalled the stock image of the firmware because clicking "reset" simply doesn't work, also if i just flashed the TWRP without a root zip, it will go bootloop, i just wanna install a custom rom but looks like i need to root the device to do so, so i can pass the verification thing, but hey, thanks for caring.
