I've done ****ed up,
i found some free time to update my cataclysm rom from 5.0 to the latest 5.1 version.
ive finished everything and all was good, but i wanted to theme it before my gf arrives.
now i've searched for a cataclysm black theme and flashed one that said it is for stock & cataclysm.
now when my phone boots up it shows the boot animation and then it shows only black screen.
i haven't made a backup nor do I have the cataclysm rom on my phone cuz I dumbass deleted it imediately after installing it.
any ideas how to dirty flash the rom witout booting up the phone? adb?
Can you boot into recovery. If do, if you have twrp, just copy the rom from your pc to the device and dirty flash the rom. Latest twrp supports mtp.

Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache from TWRP. The rom should boot.

I recently upgraded from stock opo cyanogen to the cyanogen nightlies. now whenever i go back to TWRP to make a backup, it breaks my os and i get stuck in a bootloop. i have to factory reset my phone and set everything up again, and all of the backups are just bootloops. i already tried re-flashing TWRP and cyanogen, both through the TWRP manager and through the fastboot flash recovery command. if anyone has a solution it would be much appreciated.

it turns out it had nothing to do with twrp, it was a corrupted verion of gapps.
i just reflashed everything. (cm12, new gapps download, and supersu)
So I was installing a new rom, going from the latest Cataclysm 5.1 to the latest Chroma 5.1.1, and before that I did a nandroid backup. I attempted a clean flash and formatted /system but the installation on CWM would get stuck at "patching system image unconditionally" and freezes up, (unless it stays at that stage in the installation for a long period such as 3 minutes +). I then shut the phone off and went back into recovery to restore from my backup. After restoring the phone is now stuck in the boot animation. I'm not sure how long it should stay like that since I have heard some boot's taking quite a while. It does not go to the google logo, the colored balls just keep spinning. Is there anyway to get back on Cataclysm even if it is not my backup OR get Chroma to install? I do not have USB debugging enabled on my phone but I am still able to access recovery and fastboot. I do not have the .zip files for any other ROM on my device currently.
EDIT: I have just done a factory reset in recovery and went to reboot system. I am still in the boot animation.

Irrelevant. Adb sideload a rom .zip or fastboot flash a factory image.
Fyi, ElementalX is a kernel, not a rom.

First off, get rid of CWM and flash twrp.
Then wipe /data, /system, then reflash your ROM, no gapps.
Does it boot?
Hi guys, I flashed the latest factory image, then flashed the latest TWRP but can access it 1 out of 10 tries.. What am I doing wrong? Is it a faulty replacement phone? Never had this issue with my other nexus 5 (same recovery file but lollipop and not marshmallow) and now I have this problem.. Tried to riflashato the factory image 5 times, boot to recovery without installing but nothing changed.. Thanks in advance!
If you just just flashed TWRP, then booted into Android, then reboot into recovery.. Android will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery.

Never happened before.. How can I prevent this? Sometimes I can't even boot to twrp after flashing and not rebooting to android..

This is not really a fix, since to use Flashify one needs to be rooted already.
What I did to work around this was reflash LMY48M. After reflashing that, fastboot correctly boots/flashes twrp.
I've read that the issue arises when trying to boot and/or flash twrp with MRA56K installed, AND the device is connected to USB.
Ok, i got some of problems here, i tryied to root my Nexus 5 with other Android 6 version, it was the first one launched after development version. Now i have MRA58K version.
Problem 1 : I have no stock recovery, i first rooted original version of Marshmallow with CWM and i soft bricked, so no backup, no factory images. Installed MRA58K and there is no stock recovery, thanks god i can use bootloader. I can install TWRP, but i want to install the old recovery, Tell me how to do it.
Problem 2: Actual version of Marshmallow ask me to install a patch, but when installing i got stuck in TWRP, it cant install it (yes, android was rooted, but i installed twrp before root, and the update were before it.)
Thanks.
You can flash a stock ROM using the flash-all file in a command prompt. This will install stock ROM with stock recovery. Make sure the phone has an unlocked bootloader and you should be fine.
Official OTA updates cannot be installed with a custom recovery.
I tryied 3 times to install OS with flash-all. All the problems start after i installed CWM and try to root the phone, but after that, i used a stock rom image that was different build than actually one.
I`m not sure yet who`s fault is.
Any ideas?
I don't recommend using CWM, only TWRP.
After you flash TWRP always boot into it, and since you're flashing a custom recovery I'm going to assume you don't care about OTA's, swipe to allow system to be mounted. TWRP will automatically patch the system to survive android trying to overwrite it. Reboot into TWRP a second time to be safe. TWRP should stick from now on until you flash over it or restore stock system partition.
Yes, now i have TWRP as recovery, but i want to replace it with stock recovery.
Problem is, when i upload stock recovery and try to boot in recovery mode, i got the green dead android with red triangle.
But after TWRP uploading and booting in recovery mode, TWRP is there..
I really don`t know what`s wrong.
Flash stock recovery, select recovery from the fastboot menu, hold the power button and press volume up button.
Hello,
I wanted to install a custom Rom on my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0 so I downloaded TWRP latest and unlocked the Bootloader and installed TWRP.
Now the OS doesn't bootup anymore and the TWRP starts but gets rebooted all the time.
Tried to install an older TWRP version 2.8.70 and sideloaded and installed Pure Nexus Rom but this doesn't fix the problem.
Wiping anything from TWRP gives error messages...
Anyonw can help please!?
OK I have the stock recovery now installed from Android 6.0 and the OS boots up with Pure Nexus... looks OK,...
Anyway what's the problem with TWRP now!?
I don't think so. TWRP 2.8.7.1 is working fine for months. Did you full wipe before flashing your custom rom? Did you flash something else?
U need to install twrp 2.8.4.0 first because twrp 2.8.7.1 can only re-write on twrp 2.8.4.0 or higher..its work fine for me at official google M

That happened to me way back when I first used TWRP. From the official TWRP thread:
"If you have just used fastboot oem unlock, you should let the device boot up normally first before trying to install TWRP."
I think if you don't boot fully once before trying to install TWRP, it loops like that.
Happens in this order:
Flashed May full image to both a, and b slots
Fully booted into stock 7.1.2
reboot to bootloader
boot twrp RC1
flash twrp RC2
flash BootSigner - successful
reboot recovery to RC2
wipe cache, system and data
flash Resurrection Remix 7.1.2
flash twrp RC2
flash BootSigner - boot was already signed (also gave warning that there was no functional framework on active slot (active slot is b))
boot to system
White google boot then reboot
White google boot then ram dump
and loop
I was having issues with installing custom ROMs as well. I finally got it to work by not flashing twrp at all between flashing rom, bootsigner, SuperSU, etc. It was kind of a pain because I had to boot twrp from fastboot Everytime but I am now running a custom ROM and kernel.
Once I had everything installed I did finally flash twrp RC1, and everything is working.
I seemed to have issues with twrp RC2. Maybe I was doing something wrong though...

What did you wipe after TWRP booting from stock? (Cache, System, Data?)
I just did the wipe without changing any settings. I believe that includes cache, system, and data.

A default wipe is just cache i think
I was able to update to the June build with no issue from the full image without losing data and was able to keep TWRP, install ElementalX, and Magisk with no issues.
