I haven't seen this written anywhere yet but I've found something weird with the TWRP loop, months back I used the asus system wipe and got stuck in the TWRP loop because I supposedly erased all the data and file structures on my system but every now and then I keep checking for fixes and playing around with the tablet, today I charged it up again and went into TWRP, on the PC (win 7) ran the cmd "ADB reboot bootloader", for the hell of it I chose the middle option, the android, is said cold booting linux, the chrome asus logo came up with the spinning dot animation and I just waited and then it began updating my app's and my system loaded right up, everything was there. There's no sd-card in the external slot so it's pulling straight from the tablet, wifi connected, all my apps began updating from the marketplace, I can download, TWRP just says the tablet is blank. It seems to have no root access anymore though, hopefully this can be helpful. Also if I reboot it goes right back to TWRP but if I run the reboot bootloader cmd and choose the android it starts right back up without having to update everything again.

so if you can get to bootloader. why dont you fastboot flash the blob file for the latest update? this would install system and new bootloader and stock recovery. from there regaining control of tablet. then just fastboot flash twrp and flash a custom rom....just a thought but if your getting into bootloader you should be able to flash blob.
I tried that right when I saw fast boot coming up, nothing would go through, I did fix it by using the method posted by Buster by using fast boot to systematically erase everything one by one then flash new firmware, just thought this info might be helpful, it's almost like twrp becomes a separate partition when you use asus wipe since everything is still there and bootable

I'm having issues and this won't help me. I flashed the JB version of twrp 2.5 instead of the 4.2 one and am getting a bootloop on the Asus screen. I reflash the update blob and it just doesn't boot

I figured it out. I downgraded my bootloader back to 4.1(I know it went because I had the fastboot USB icon back) flashed the correct recovery and wiped everything. My data partition got corrupted. Got back into a working environment and flashed 4.2.1 again, with the proper recovery.

First off, let me start out by saying that the Infinity is running on what is possibly the worst software ever designed. Props, Asus. You've made my life hell until the last second.
So, here's my problem. The tablet was working fine 24 hours ago. I turned it off last night, turned it on this morning, working great on CROMi-Xeno (which is awesome, it actually makes the tablet bearable.) and played on it for a while before turning off again. While playing it, I noticed it lag a little more than usual, so I decided to cold boot it. Booted bootloader, hit cold boot, and.... bootlooping. Awesome. No biggie, I'll just restore a backup. I waited for it to restore, and when it was finished, wiped cache and Dalvik, and.... bootlooping again. I tried wiping system and data. Still bootlooping. I downloaded Asus 's official firmware from their website, and flashed. Bootlooping. Someone help me fix this and get it back to stock firmware, so I can sell it and be done with it once and for all. I will never buy another Asus product again.

I'm wondering if my version of TWRP is too old or something. Can anyone explain in detail how to update to a newer version of TWRP or install CWM in order for flashing to fully work?

what version do you currently have, just download the .blob from twrp's site boot into fastboot and run "fastboot flash recovery *name of blob*.blob"

Yeah - I'm also wondering what bootloader you are running with it.
If you are not current on either flash the bootloader/TWRP package from CROMi-X OP, boot back into system, let it bootloop if it does, boot back into TWRP and reflash the rom.
That seems like it would be the only explanation, but now it won't even boot into recovery. I can get it into fastboot, but as soon as I select recovery image it shows the firmware upgrade symbol and then immediately shows the Android Error symbol, and sticks there until I hard power down. When I'm in fastboot, here's what I'm gonna do:
1. connect fastbooted Infinity to pc with all necessary drivers installed
2. download filename.blob from TWRP's website for the Infinity
3. on command console enter -fastboot flash recovery filename.blob- and it will push the recovery through fastboot hopefully
Is that correct? I'm under the impression that as long as I can get to the fastboot menu, ANYTHING is repairable.

The command is
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery filename.blob
Since you can boot into the bootloader, check the version# and make sure you flash a compatible recovery.
Most of the time, as long as you can get into the BL, it's fixable. But to make it unbrickable you need nvFlash. And that's just become possible for or tablet on JB. May be a project for once you got this problem fixed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455925
I suspect you need to format data to fix the issues (you'll lose everything on the internal sd card) but before you do follow bernd's recommendation and get TWRP on there (you wiped it out when you flashed ASUS stock) and then use the file explorer in TWRP to copy anything important to an external SD and make sure the cromi-x rom is on sd too. Then format data from the wipe menu and reinstall. You'll be back to normal in no time. :good:
BTW You may have got some corruption from turning f-sync off.

I tried wiping internal before recovery was lost and it didn't work. I suspected that some problems arose from turning fsync off too. I'm pushing TWRP 2.6 to the Infinity now, will try flashing your excellent rom again and see if it takes without bootlooping.

You need to specifically format data in twrp not just wipe data. Only formatting will restore the device now once data corruption has occurred.
I am using clockwork for my recovery and I have been getting an error while in recovery "can't mount SD". The problem is, when this happens I can not flash a rom, update Gapps, cant flash a nand back-up etc.. When this happens I will reboot my phone and sometimes after several hours many attempts I will try and it will work.
I have upgraded recovery I have downgraded recovery and still getting the same issue. My last thought is to go back to stock and start over. Any one know why I am getting this?

Hello! I've been running the CM13 nightly from Dec 26.
Today i downloaded the Dec 30 nightly.
I had the phone in airplane mode when I rebooted into TWRP to flash the nightly along with the xposed v78 sdk23.
After rebooting my simcard wasn't detected anymore.
It clearly is a software problem, and rebooting or wiping cache/dalvik didn't solve my problem.
I hope you can help me
Same boat. No SIM
No SIM card detected here as well after the 123015 update. I am not using the custom kernel nor was I in airplane mode when I flashed.
Tried rebooting a couple times. Removed SIM card and replaced. Couldn't get it to recognize.
Same problem here with the 123015 update. Reverting to old roms did not work.
just use search ...
you probably use twrp 2.8.6.1 or greater, so new modem firmware in 30/12 nightly is not updated correctly, if you use cm, use cm recovery too or twrp 2.8.6.0! and update rom again
reflash old firmware and it will be back.
its a combination of bad luck and bad flash on the recovery you are using.
use twrp 2.8.7.6.0.
That one is not prone to bad flashes of firmware
no need to restore efs cause the bad flash can be corrected

just back to 29/12 nightly, flash correct recovery and again flash 30/12
I'm also having this issue, but it happened under different circumstances:
I was using the last CM12.1 nightly (2015-11-21).
On a previous occasion I had clean-flashed the CM13 nightly (2015-12-10), however it was freezing and crashing quite a lot so I decided to wait a bit, and restored my CM12.1 build (after making a nandroid back-up of my CM13 build).
Yesterday (2015-12-30) I thought I'd see how the CM13 builds were going, so restored my CM13 backup... This is when my phone refused to recognise my sim card. On top of this, it would randomly reboot for no apparent reason. I updated to the latest CM13 nightly (2015-12-30) but these problems weren't fixed.
I then decided to restore my CM12.1 build (which was backed up right before I attempted any of this), however the problems remained. It wouldn't recognise my sim card and would reboot at random.
Since then I have wiped cache + dalvik, cache + dalvik + data, cache + dalvik + system + data + internal memory, done a fresh install, and still the problems persist.
After reading the above posts I'm going to try and roll back my TWRP to 2.8.6.0, but needless to say it's been a very frustrating experience!
If anyone can see anything I'm doing amazingly wrong, please let me know.

in your case your efs may have gotton corrupt, next to a bad flash. Do if flashing old firmware doesnt fix it, restore the backup of efs if you made one to make more confusing you may need a special twrp version to have made the backup on in first place. to make more confusing.
Try this first,official twrp doesnt backup the firmware, so chance is highest you are running cm13firmware and cm12 rom. flash and reboot on recovery official 2.8.6.0, clean and repair system, data, cache. Flash old cm13 and let it boot. Note you should have no(maybe just 2) lines which state after "Writing radio image...")"already up to date
All functioning then score! Proceed with latest nightly
All not functioning efs restore should help. Never made one, follow above and flash back the cm12 rom you have. Same case with firmware updating and booting

I restored my twrp to 2.8.6.0 (after wiping the entire phone previously... urgh), and then flashed the latest nightly. Everything worked again!
I ended up going back to my CM12.1 backup as the TrueCaller CM app keeps crashing in CM13. I could just keep the stock dialer, but I have grown accustomed to knowing who's calling me!
Thanks for your help all!

Hi, I'm stuck. I have tried flashing the twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img recovery image file I got from dl.twrp.me. The file matches the MD5 I got from the TWRP website (f69fa503419644851822d883c2388bb8), and I don't see any errors when I do a fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img command.
However, when I have tried to boot back into Recovery Mode, my phone just ends up booting into Normal Mode (until my phone gets hung). Doing a fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img command didn't get me into Recovery Mode, either. If I go back and do a fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-bacon.img, I can boot back into the 2.8.7.0 TWRP Recovery Mode, but that won't let me get my modem back.
Can anybody help (maybe with a different copy of the twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img recovery image)?
Thanks.

Download again via different browser, double check filesize of what you downloaded. It was a bad download sir
You can download on your phone also, same check download size. From twrp where when flashing you can select img. Then select recovery, reboot recovery and your on the one that works

Hi, @Startlinger - I've downloaded twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img with three different browsers (Chrome, MS IE, and Firefox). All three images acted the same way: They all matched the MD5 posted on TWRP, and they were all unbootable (either by flashing, or with a fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img command). I couldn't download the image to the phone via the internet, because I can't get an internet connection on my OPO anymore - probably because the modem is corrupted. I did copying one of the computer-downloaded 2.8.6.0 images to the phone, and tried flashing the image through TWRP 2.8.7.0, but the results were exactly the same ... it wouldn't boot into Recovery Mode after that.
Is the f69fa503419644851822d883c2388bb8 MD5 value correct? (I suspect it is)
One thing I've noticed is that I can't just power-off my phone anymore when 2.8.6.0 is loaded. If I try to power off, it comes back up in Normal Mode. This may be related to the corrupted 2.8.6.0 Recovery Mode.
Update: I've also noticed something else - I tried doing a fastboot boot twrp-image-file with other versions of TWRP (2.84.1 and 2.8.5.1). None of these boot into Recovery Mode - just the 2.8.7.0 image works.
Is there something else I need to recover on my phone (if it's even possible)? Is there any other way I can reinstall a workable Lollipop 5.0.2 Modem Image onto the phone?
well, thats a first gotjazz.
I would recommend 2.8.7.05 from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087010524
if same results, perhaps best to download latest fastboot rom from cyanogen. Then fastboot your way back to a complete stock situation. Before doing so wipe everything in 2.8.7.0, and repair all partitions that allow repairing.
when fastbooting everything take care in using the 64 if you got 64 gb
After let it boot, check if you can get reception. If that works, fastboot flash recovery of 2.8.6.0. or 2.8.7.05 and go back to whatever rom you want

I had been using Sultan's 6.0 ROM for a long time now. but it was causing issues and I wanted to try something new. I downloaded Tugapower (7.1) which I used before, and stock OxygenOS 2.1.4 flashable.
I did a nandroid backup of Sultan's ROM, I installed 7.1 which worked fine, and then wanted to test OxygenOS, which didn't boot, and then i proceeded to restore the backup. I left the phone to charge during restore, and I came back to see the phone massively hot and won't boot, not even into recovery. I checked fastboot and that worked.
I've tried a lot of stuff but none failed to boot.
Things I've tried:
1. Fastboot restore of CM11S - gets stuck at rom boot animation first try then bootloops at boot.
2.Fastboot restore of OxygenOS/CyanogenOS - same as above. Once it booted after i "Fixed Selinux" thingy from TWRP because I remembered that was an issue when i went back to 6.0 from 7.1 a few months back, but mobile data didnt work and it rebooted and started boot looping within seconds.
3. Fastboot restore of CM11s and then CM13 snapshot by recovery - bootloop
Recovery does not work by Power-UP-Vol. Only works once after flashing TWRP via OnePlus One Toolbox. and then bootloop if i try again.
ADB works in TWRP, i can also see my internal storage
4. Tried re enabling /persist partition using make_ext4fs
5. Tried MSMDownloadTool, drivers are fine, it flashes fine, but still says a lot of .img like recovery persist system userdata64 failed.
6. Tried Qualcom QSIF tool to restore ColorOS, same, flashes correctly, but still ROM does not boot.
7. Tried MiFlash to restore ColorOS, same as above.
Is my beloved OPO really gone? Or can i fix this somehow without taking it to Customer Care?
Fastboot works perfectly, also recovery works well when ColorOS is flashed. But just nothing makes the ROM boot. Also sometimes the battery starts counting down from 0 to the exact battery percentage

I had been using Sultan's 6.0 ROM for a long time now. but it was causing issues and I wanted to try something new. I downloaded Tugapower (7.1) which I used before, and stock OxygenOS 2.1.4 flashable.
I did a nandroid backup of Sultan's ROM, I installed 7.1 which worked fine, and then wanted to test OxygenOS, which didn't boot, and then i proceeded to restore the backup. I left the phone to charge during restore, and I came back to see the phone massively hot and won't boot, not even into recovery. I checked fastboot and that worked.
I've tried a lot of stuff but none failed to boot.
Things I've tried:
1. Fastboot restore of CM11S - gets stuck at rom boot animation first try then bootloops at boot.
2.Fastboot restore of OxygenOS/CyanogenOS - same as above. Once it booted after i "Fixed Selinux" thingy from TWRP because I remembered that was an issue when i went back to 6.0 from 7.1 a few months back, but mobile data didnt work and it rebooted and started boot looping within seconds.
3. Fastboot restore of CM11s and then CM13 snapshot by recovery - bootloop
Recovery does not work by Power-UP-Vol. Only works once after flashing TWRP via OnePlus One Toolbox. and then bootloop if i try again.
ADB works in TWRP, i can also see my internal storage
4. Tried re enabling /persist partition using make_ext4fs
5. Tried MSMDownloadTool, drivers are fine, it flashes fine, but still says a lot of .img like recovery persist system userdata64 failed.
6. Tried Qualcom QSIF tool to restore ColorOS, same, flashes correctly, but still ROM does not boot.
7. Tried MiFlash to restore ColorOS, same as above.
Is my beloved OPO really gone? Or can i fix this somehow without taking it to Customer Care?
Fastboot works perfectly, also recovery works well when ColorOS is flashed. But just nothing makes the ROM boot. Also sometimes the battery starts counting down from 0 to the exact battery percentage

Did you tried flashing stock Cos13.1.x through fastboot?

Here this one, it was weird, it never booted afterwards
Bump.
Update: The phone doesn't reboot anymore constantly, it just powers off after the initial oneplus logo
twrp sometimes shows symlinks error, and won't reboots if i Flash anything, cwm flashes fine but no system is booted

Device works fine when it is in TWRP? Like,no reboots or power off(s) whatsoever? Battery works fine in TWRP? Like,charging and stuff? If it does,then this is unlikely a battery issue,however,I would suggest you to remove battery(go through tutorials on youtube) and attach it again.
This has happened to me before,like if I'm not able to flash anything from TWRP then I just change/update recovery to unofficial/newer versions of it(did you tried this?) or,I just flash Cos13 through fastboot then it boots up fine and I flash TWRP again and boom,everything is back to normal.In cases where I'm even fail to flash Cos13(shows system error/system partition corrupt) or I'm not even able to boot to fastboot i.e.,hardbrick,I just use Cm11S restore tool(modified version of color os toolkit,you can find on general thread) and it flashes perfectly fine and boom,device is back!
I hope it helps!
Ps- This is the tool I'm talking about,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
I always use this because after flashing from color os tool,I used to get bootloop,though fastboot mode was accessible then so I could just flash Cos13 through fastboot and I no longer get any system errors and it boots up fine.

I think it's a battery issue. There are so many people facing the same issue. Trust me,just change your battery.
It happened to me once. I had to erase every partition via fastboot, not only system data and cache, but also modem, efs, recovery ecc. Then I flashed stock COS13.1 partitions images and it worked. Just remember: do NOT turn off or reboot your phone between the erase and the flash, it could hard brick the device!
edit: You should also backup your existing efs partition via recovery.
Fixed my device. For future reference, it was a battery issue, Just couldn't retain enough charge, enough to boot into recovery but not enough to boot any ROM, Changed battery and everything is back to normal
Fixed it Guys, Battery issue, had enough charge for recovery, but just couldn't boot a rom. Changed battery and everything's fine now
