Hey, so I tried to follow this guide to have ColorOS and Cm11 (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/coloros-to-cm-multi-rom.212414/), but then I realised that I had no use for both of them to be on multirom. As a result, I wiped ColorOS and Cm11, then restored from a backup I had in TWRP. When I'm in Cm11, if I press the power button, it does not let me turn it back on besides doing a force reset by holding down the power button. If I delete the data from Cm11, I don't have this issue anymore, but then I lose everything. Any help could do as I am really frustrated about this. Cheers in advance.
Now when i boot up my phone, it has a red OnePlus logo instead of white, I'm guessing this is due to upgrading to ColorOS V2.3 Beta. Would you think this would affect it in anyway? I'm trying to download ColorOS V1.2 but it is taking so long to download -.-

hi guys,
first of all hi names troy i live in New Zealand and have an imported uk unlocked defy.. since i have updated to the official UK update through Motorola Software Update things were going great up until i installed a custom recovery (phone was rooted properly) .. i tried booting into it with the volume rocker down and got the android ! sign, tried to click all over screen with no luck so i removed battery and put it back in, then all i got was the Motorola splash screen turning off and on, so basically bricked right? then i began to try unbricking with RSD Light which fixed it but now the phones acting all strange like it cant download from the android market etc.. so what i want to do is do i complete factory reset, so i can start over again and learn from my mistakes, BUT it wont let me factory reset at all i tried the factory data reset through the privacy menu but when it gets to the erase everything button i push it and nothing happens so i tried the hard reset holding the vol rocker down, and i get the android ! sign and tapping anywhere on the screen does nothing so i have to remove battery and restart. could somebody please assist me? sounds like i've screwed up the recovery system, is there a way to install the factory original one?
thanks in advance!
p.s even if theirs away to completely erase the entire flash and then reflash to factory (when i re-flash with RSD Light no matter what sbf i pick it seems to keep all settings as in i don't get the login to google, motoblur, splashes etc as if i just purchased it, there already logged in and running)
i've searched high and lo, been reading up on this forum for awhile now, reading the tutorials, etc. i must now hang my head in shame. managed to root my phone, put android revolution ROM on it, yay go me. decided i wanted to restore back to previous ROM. couldn't boot into bootloader via vol - and power, so i used ROM manager. went into backup/restore and picked a previous version. rebooted phone and now it hangs on the white HTC screen. i can take my battery out and put it back in and it will charge my phone. i think this might be my mistake, the battery was yellow when i tried all this. but it's been charging for awhile now, and still nothing. when i try to turn it on or the vol- and power it gets stuck on the white screen and is no longer charging. i've looked and looked and seen some suggestions of booting into recovery, etc. but i can't for some reason boot into anything. i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or what. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ok, when i take the sd card out, it boots just fine, so what would my next step be?
Haha....you didnt wipe your device clean before restoring from your backup!
Remove the battery and place it back in, hold the bottom volume button and lock button...you should boot into Hboot(white screen also)
give it like 20 seconds because it will search for a file and select the recovery option by scrolling using the volume keys.
factory reset phone and go into advanced-wipe dalvik-cache
now install any rom or any backup!
You must do this for every ROM and every restoring of a backup...
thank you for your response, but i corrected my mistake, and wiped everything, but the backups i was trying to go back too still didn't work. still got stuck on the screen. i was however able to flash the ROM i had, but it's very basic, and nothing like what i flashed from it originally.
Hi, everyone, I have a Nexus S and I am new to roms and stuff and by far I was using the latest Cyanogen mod, because the installation was easy. I decided to try this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410844. And after a lot of reading, I figured that i have to install the latest Clockwork mod, so I did, then transferred the rom .zip file to my storage, rebooted in recovery and installed the zip. Then I rebooted again and all that is happening now is - an android text with highlights moving over it is standing in the center of my screen, but nothing loads... I waited like 30-40 minutes but it just stays there... Can somebody tell me if I was wrong with the instructions somewhere or this can be a problem with my device? Thanks a lot and sorry for posting a new thread about it, since I'm new, I'm not allowed to ask in the Developers Section.
I didn't Wipe/Factory reset. Could this be the problem?
It seems you got stuck in the boot loop itself.!! From next time on when you are about to install a new rom, make sure you do a full factory/data wipe.!!
Now that you are stuck in boot loop, just remove batter, insert it, hold simultaneously your volume up+power buttons. From the menu choose recovery. Then
1.data wipe/factory reset.
2. Wipe cache.
3. mounts and storage --> format system.!!
Now you are good to go. Make a clean install of your new ROM. I guess your device by now should work normally.!!
Sent from my Nexus S
Hit thanks if I helped you.!!
Yes, I already did it, right after I asked, with the factory/reset function (I thought this is the problem, so I did it), everithing is ok now, but thanks for answering!
It's ok for the admins to delete that thread, thanks!
I also have a problem with same ROM.
Every once and a while after making a call or doing anything with Dialer he freezes and after that system just reboots. I've installed last version of CWM, updated SuperSu, installed Pa full version of GAPPS.
Hello everyone. I recently just recieved my ATT LG G2 in the mail, and since I really didn't like the OS it had I wanted to root it. Anyway, I rooted it, installed twrp, and i tried to install cm10.2 but that didnt work. I then did somethings and re-booted my device into stock LG G2. Then, a notification popped up telling me of a software update that was avaliable (MY LG G2 was already on 4.4.2 so i assumed this was for android 5.0 or something) I clicked update and now I am where I am now. My phone just goes through a loop showing the LG logo, then Showing the LG logo with "security error" under it, and then it goes to black and restarts that whole thing. The thing is though, when I go in to the Factory reset screen and press the power button twice to start the process, it goes back to twrp and when i navigate to reboot to system, the whole process just starts over again. Please if there is anyone knowledgeable on this subject, I REALLY need your help to be able to use my phone again. I am very new to the whole rooting process so this is something i dont know how to fix. Please help im begging you!!!
P.S: another thing to note is that, out of panic, i formated my phone's data from the wipe menu and thats how this all happened.

no need to panic...
1: from twrp format/wipe data system cache leaving internal (assuming you have stuff stored like pictures and etc)
2: sideload cm11 or any other rom for your model(assuming d800 here)
or
1: goto download mode and flash tot (reflash stock lg software). will loose everything on phone.
and do shutdown your phone properly to save battery till you download cm11 or tot.
via twrp choose shutdown and dont plug the phone
via power button looooooong press

What problem you're in?
well I am stuck in twrp, and can't use the terminal because of twrp 2.6.3.2 not responding to touch on the bottom half of the screen. My screen isn't broken. And I made the mistake by taking the OTA while rooted.
So I haven't had any luck with my Oneplus One lately . I had rooted the phone and was running the CyanogenMod nightlies for a while, but recently for some reason when I updated it for Nov. 25 I have been suck in a reboot loop where the phone boots up and it starts updating apps, but then it continuously does this cycle of rebooting and updating apps. I have tried to enter recovery mode to try and remedy the situation as I have twrp, but for some reason it doesn't boot to recovery when I press down the power and vol down buttons. I have tried to adb to try and reboot into recovery mode but I haven't been able to get it to work. I'd really appreciate some help on this as I have no idea what to do at this point.
I should also mention that I would like to see if it is possible to recover my data as I foolishly did not make a back up.
Thanks in advance.
So just an update I was finally able to get into recovery mode. I backed up my data with twrp and I tried the method mentioned in the reddit link below.
http://https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/1ly5b1/is_it_possible_to_restore_my_sms_from_a_twrp/
I installed the newest version of nightlies CM 13.0 2015 11/30 along with gapps 6.0, but now my phone just boots up and optimizes apps but when it restarts after that it just goes to a black screen.
I know I can wipe everything through twrp and install cm 13.0 probably eliminating the issues I am having, but I'm reluctant to do so as I would like to retrieve my sms messages. I have taken my photos off my phone so I have that.
If any one can advise me on if I can restore my sms from the twrp back up I have made then I'll wipe my phone and do a clean install.
Thanks in advance
i have the exact same problem. would be nice to have it fixed and working without losing all the data.
So I decided to go ahead and wipe my system as I have all of the data I could get out of my phone on my pc now. I get get cyanogen working nicely, until I go into twrp and try to restore the data files I had backed up. This goes well until the reboot then a message pops up saying something isn't working (too fast too read). I then get a blank screen.
Now I still have the same problem of how to put the data I had saved when I used twrp back on to my phone. I believe something in my data is corrupt which is why this is happening, but I'm not sure. Is there just a way to extract say the sms from the data I have saved, that's really all I need at this point. The backups made by twrp are in a format .WIN that I have never seen before and I would appreciate the help if someone can advise me what to do from here.
CM13.0 struck in Reboot loop
When I was browsing and doing some multitasking stuff..noticed that phone was lagging a bit .So i thought to reboot so that it would come out of that...But it completely struck in reboot loop forever.
please help me out of this issue.
Thanks in advance

Are you pressing the Vol down button and power button. Also I unscrewed the back of the phone to unhook the battery cable then I pressed the buttons. I found also, through trial and error on my phone, that you can hold down the buttons for too long so you have to watch and make sure on that. I found that you should hold the 2 button combo through the oneplus one boot logo and you'll see the lights dim then you let the buttons go and its worked so far at least on my phone.
