hey guys,
just wanted to upgrade my sisters phone which was running an old 5.1 version (custom rom, so the phone was unlocked and rooted already) to an android 6.0.1 custom rom. so i flashed newest twrp and flashed 6.0.1 bootloader and radio.img via fastboot using wugfresh tool and the files from the thread on here. now when trying to get into recovery, im stuck at the google logo.
did is miss sth?
my sister will kill me
thanks much!
Did you perform a factory wipe after upgrading?
i did the following. i went to recovery and wanted to flash the xenon 6.0.1 rom. thus i did a factory reset and cleaned cache and system. then the flash failed with this executing binary update error. i went to fastboot and flashed bootloader and radio. now im stuck there. anyone please??
Flash a stock rom to get the phone back to factory settings.
Were you using the latest recovery to flash the rom? Is the rom designed for the hammerhead?

yes i used the latest recovery. yes it is designed for hammerhead.
will i lose my internal sd media when flashing stock? because i want to avoid that.
If you did a factory reset like you said above you've already wiped the sd card.

So i accidentally wiped the system using twrp. But i got it to work by using a usb flash drive n flashing a custom rom from there (paranoif android) And now ive been getting random reboots and crashes. I also flashed franco kernel. Also some system apps will not work properly, such as the calendar app. And i was thinking maybe thats because i wiped the system. Now i want to revert back to stock kikat without losing my root and unlocked bootloader. Im quite new to flashing roms and i find it easy using twrp. So how do i go about reverting back to stock, to see if those random crashes and reboots will go away?

Try re-flashing another rom, as PA is a beta ROM, and thats where you may be having your crashed apps

You can always flash the factory images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
You can flash any ROM and that should fix your issue
You will not lose your unlocked bootloader unless you flash the stock one which is in the factory images
Your bootloader will not relock unless you lock it yourself using fastboot. Flashing roms or factory images won't lock it by themselves.
And even if it somehow did, one fastboot command and you're unlocked again.
And as far as root goes....it takes 5 minutes to reroot.
So just flash whatever factory image you need and then custom recovery, and you're done. Maybe need to download superSU from play store after.

So i just flashed purity rom, and im still having the same issues, but the crashes and reboots are less yet their still there. Maybe reverting back to stock rom will do the trick?

The crashes and reboots are because you didn't wipe data/factory reset and also didn't wipe dalvic/cache...
If you're keen on using a custom rom follow these steps:
1. Head over to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvic/cache
2. Flash rom.zip and gapps.zip
3. Reboot!
Initial boot can take upto 10 minutes sometimes so be patient...
If you want to go fully stock then follow this thread:

Sorry if i did not include this on the op, but everytime i were to flash a rom or gapps i would wipe data/factory and dalvic/cache, since i had those issues i even wipe internal memory just to see if the problems were there.

Maybe your flashing a bad version of GApps since the force closes are on google Calander?
Are you using a 4.4.2 GApps?
Im on cataclysm now, and i believe no gapps needed since their included in the zip. Have had about 3 reboots, i believe their because of playstore downloading an update or something, and one caused by either bluetooth or hello messaging app. But who knows. Just one more thing, by me accidentally wiping the system shouldnt be the cause of my random crashes and reboots?

Why don`t you backup your user apps and data with TB and start fresh by flashing the stock image, reroot and reflash a custom rom in recovery. This will eliminate all errors and reboots.

Yes, just flash the factory image (flash-all.batt) in fastboot, reboot and setup the phone. Flash a custom recovery and flash the superSU.zip (1.94 is the latest).

Recently I flash a custom ROM 4.3 on Samsung infuse, I followed the steps carefully and the ROM was installed successfully. Although, I forgot to make a backup of the initial stock ROM.
When I rebooted, it boot back to recovery. I wipe cache, do factory reset, flash stock ROM with Odin and still the phone always boot into stock recovery.
I don't know what to do to bring the phone back to life.
Help pls!!!

what recovery did you had and what version was it?

It was CWM 6 before going back to stock ROM
Found the solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
Ok guys I'm stumped on this one. I got the OTA notification for 5.1 yesterday on my XT1034 and so I decided to preempt any issues I might have and just flash everything back to stock 5.0.2 in order to install the update.
I was able to flash everything fine then went to reboot, got the unlocked bootloader screen and...... nothing. It just stayed on the unlocked bootloader screen. I figured I did something wrong so I reset back to fastboot mode, tried again and sure enough I missed sparsechunk 3. So I tried again, restarted, and.... same thing.
OK then, reset again and reboot into recovery mode. It booted to the Motorola splash screen, ok this is different..... nope still not loading. Reset again and try flashing a custom recovery.
CWM, flashed ok, reset again, Moto splash
TWRP, flashed ok, reset, Moto splash
Philz, flashed, reset, splash
OK.. so I'm clearly doing something wrong. Did some research and tried:
- formatting the cache and userdata partitions
> cache formatted fine, userdata refused to format, not supported for filesystem type 'raw'
- tried flashing again without erasing the partitions
> flashed fine, no change in booting
- tried flashing back to 4.4.4
> flashed fine, no change in booting
- tried flashing all the custom recoveries with 4.4.4, no change
- I found a thread where someone else had a somewhat similar issue, and apparently resolved by unlocking their bootloader
> mines already unlocked, but sure it can't hurt, tried again, but nothing since it's already unlocked
I looked for anyone that had a stock 5.1 image other than the OTA, but couldn't find anything. I gave up on trying stock and looked at some custom roms, but all of them just start with, unlock your bootloader, load a custom recovery and flash the update zip file.
Soooo I'm stumped. I've tried just about everything I can think of. I made backups of everything so I'm not worried about the data I just want a working phone again. I refuse to accept that it's borked at this point since I can still get to fastboot.
OK so, no clue what changed, but I was finally able to boot into recovery, Philz
I wiped and reformatted everything and tried flashing 5.0.2 again
rebooted and it still hung on the bootloader unlocked screen
I'll try flashing Philz again and updating through there
Captains log, startdate much too late oh clock
I reflashed Philz and wiped everything again, then sidloaded CM 12.
I'm just thankful to have a working phone again so I'll go with this for now.

Have you tried installing the stock firmware again?
I'm having exactly the same problem, any recovery says it succeeded flashing but when i try to boot it, it goes to stock motorola recovery.
Sorry for being off-topic but what are requirements of receiving OTA?
Stock ROM, stock recovery and a locked or unlocked bootloader?

My experience is that you need to be unrooted, unmodified system partition and stock recovery
It's usually much easier to reflash a stock image and update than trying to unroot, uninstall, xposed tweaks, restore original build.prop settings, restore original hosts file, etc

I haven't tried reflashing the stock again over CM12, but I was able to find a link for stock 5.1 image, you can try going straight there skipping this whole pain.
Here's a link, you can also find it on the stock firmware sticky post that I can't seem to find anymore

Already tried to flash the full firmware again without luck, after rebooting the phone gets stuck at the Unlocked bootloader warning.
Thanks for the link.

I think at least in part what my issue was, was that the partition formatting got borked. If you can boot to a custom recovery you can wipe and reformat them. Then you should be able to reflash it normally.
I was just so tired of dealing with my phone at that point so I only tried once and gave up with stock, but I'm pretty sure that's what I need to do to fix it.
Hello xda community. I have a problem. I've been using Nexus experience rom(MM) and i've decided to go back to LP. I tried so many LP roms and after a short use(1 hour to 1 day, depends on rom) it gives me a bootloop. I tried 4-5 roms. One of them was my daily driver one month ago. Now I am using stock 5.1 with root and no problem at all. But why a custom rom gives me bootloop All answers appreciated.
Edit: Now i got bootloop on stock 5.1 too!! Please help!
Have you installed xposed framework?
No. The problem encountered after CM. I formatted system, data (not internal storage) but i got bootloops since then.
Have you tried flashing stock vía fastboot?
Nope, but is there any difference between flashing via fastboot or recovery?
well if you flash stock via fastboot, it will also reset some partitions and system files like radio/modem or gps
flashing via recovery just changes the OS and kernel
Than you. And is this procedure needs full wipe?
thus I don't have OS anymore, so I can't boot into download mode.
I have TWRP, I think the only thing I can do is just get stock .zip ROM. But I can't find it for my G930F, I downloaded some but they are all prepared for odin, not for recovery.
Could please anyone give me a download link for a flashable stock rom?
Or any other ideas?
Thanks
You had TWRP but didn't make a backup?
Technically it doesn't have to be a stock ROM, you could just flash a custom ROM and once you've got system back then you can flash back to stock with Odin.

So I do have LinkeageOS 16 installed now, but every restart, I can't mount /data in TWRP, I have to wipe it over and over. Why is that?
Another thing is that phone doesnt detect my SIM card (on stock recovery it did detect).
iirc that's something to do with encryption, but I've never experienced it so can't be sure.
Can you tried a stock Odin flash since installing Lineage?
Are you using the most recent TWRP?

I flashed newest stock ROM and updated twrp and everything seems to be working now
Weird, I didn't have to reflash LOS.
But yeah, I will write here if the problem still persists later.
