What TWRP version are you using? What were the steps you took to install CM and the stock ROM? What was the error that TWRP gave you?

To get the phone working again, I would suggest flashing latest 5.1 version of these factory firmware images (for your exact device model) through fastboot.
To flash CM13, try using TWRP 3.0.2-0, and the latest CM13 snapshot. Note that the first boot of Cyanogenmod can take a long time (20+ minutes).

[SOLVED] TWRP 3.0.2 bootloop

Hello everyone.
I had a problem flashing TWRP on my Google Nexus 5, or better the problem comes when I try to enter the recovery.
I followed this pattern from stock android 6.0.1 with august security patch:
1) unlock bootloader
2) downloaded lastest TWRP (3.0.2 hammerhead) recovery from the official website
3) flash it with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Until this point everything's alright but then when I unplug my phone from the laptop and click on enter recovery something strange happens.
I can see the TWRP boot image but as soon as I go in I see tons of errors related to "cannot mount ..." and some partitions name like /data, /cache, and then starts the bootloop without let me any chance to do something. Sorry but I can't see every error beacuse this happen too fast.
Any idea on what is going on?
I've tried the TWRP 3.0.1 but is the same shuold I go down or maybe I have to change it beacuse of compatibily issues with the monthly patches?
Thank you for your help, I hope I explained my problem clearly.

After unlocking the bootloader, phone wipe all data? Did you reboot after unlocking bootloader?

No I've just unlocked and then tryied to flash the recovery without wipe.
But data is already wiped by unlocking the bootloader isn't it?
Anyway thanks for your reply as soon as I can I'll try what you have written.

Yes, the data should be automatically wiped. Try TWRP 2.87. If the phone still doesn't boot into TWRP, reflash stock recovery, flash userdata.img, immediately boot into stock recovery using the button combo without rebooting, perform a factory wipe, reboot into fastboot, and flash TWRP again.

Thank you so much for telling me to flash the 2.8.7, i've choosen the 2.8.7.1 without success (it did't flash i don't know why) but then after another wipe all I've flashed the 2.8.7.0 and it seems to work.
The only thing I would like to ask now is: I'm going to flash superSU and elementalX over stock AOSP (I don't want custom ROM for now) and can this recovery cause problem because of it is not the last update?
Thank you again for the answer!

I have not tried 2.87 with Elemental X. The only way to determine whether it will work would be to try it. I recommend creating a nandroid backup before flashing Elemental so you can restore if something goes wrong.

TWRP Restore problem
Hi, I have an issue with the resotre of TWRP...
Here's what I did:
-Downloaded the latest OTA image https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
-Downloaded latest SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable
-Downloaded latest ElementalX http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5/
-reboot to TWRP
Choose OTA, then SuperSU, then ElementalX
Luunch the restore..
And my screen is "blocked" from 5 hours on Install Zip 1 of 3.
"blocked" means doesn't move to the Zip2 but the clock is moving... the screen is locking itself after few seconds and I am able to unlock it...
Any idea how to exit properly ?

I have rebooted...deleted all my music... (I think that the issue may come from insufficient disk space) and relaunched...
Will see...

Hi, I've have successfully installed the last OTA update but not with zip file, instead I downloaded the factory image and flashed with fastboot boot.img and system.img (also vendor.img if you have one) then rebooted into TWRP and installed the lastest ElementalX and SuperSU.
I'm not sure but I think that factory image zip file are not installable via recovery but only with the flash-all that comes with them. This script use fastboot to flash everything you need of the factory image
You can find this procedure on the ElementalX website, here is the link hope it can help out: http://elementalx.org/how-to-install-android-monthly-security-updates/

Finally... I installed CM13 and ElementalX... in some minutes ...
I suppose the the problem was in my zip file...

[HELP] Stuck on Recovery Bootloop after OTA Update (CM14.1) , can't access Fastboot

Hi,
Just for you to know:
Model: r7plusf
Recovery: TWRP 3.0.2-0
----------------------------------------
So earlier today I did an OTA update (cm-14.1-20161205-NIGHTLY-r7plus.zip), but couldn't get my phone to boot.
So naturally, I tried wiping Cache and ART cache, but was still bootlooping.
Thought there might be someting wrong with my ROM and data, so I formated data and Installed ROM and GAPPS again after ADB pushing them onto my phone.
Now, and although CM14.1 and GAPPS are successfully installed on my Oppo R7 Plus, I can't boot into the OS. Every time I try reboot system, whether through POWER_BUTTON, RECOVERY or ADB, I just boot into Recovery.
Worst of all, for some unknown reason, I can't get into BOOTLOADER, neither through button combination, nor through Recovery nor ADB.
I found this article (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/fix-recovery-loop-twrp-computer-t2873386) in the LG G3 thread about executing some shell commands, but I haven't tested testing it with my phone's variables because it might hard brick it...
Please Help!
[EDIT] I now have access to fastboot but still recovery looping like crazy.

I installed the same update via CyanDelta , worked like a charm ! hopefully you get back up and running.

[UPDATE] strangely I tried to flash stock recovery and boot CM13 and it worked!
Will try to flash twrp again and insall CM14
keep you up to date

Same thing happened to me! Where did you get a copy of the stock recovery? Link?

I had the same problem. Can't remember exactly how I resolved it. But I think, I use CM recovery to flash nightly. Then flash TWRP to flash gapps. For some strange reason, using CM recovery also show no enough disk space whenever I try to flash opengapps. But TWRP recovery can flash opengapps successfully.
Don't use the OTA, use adb sideload to flash the nightly next time. So far, adb sideload has not given me any issue to flash nightly.

Same problem...
I tried a lot of things nothing works and now I've installed the cm recovery but I have the "unauthorized phone" in terminal when I try to flash the ROM... I can do nothing because I can't enable the usb debugging. I don't know what to do.
If somebody can help I appreciate.

Since then I found how to fix it :
first of all I flashed cm13 through TWRP,
Then I flashed the stock recovery (Google it, I found it in OPPO forums) with fastboot,
After that I did a factory reset in the stock recovery,
Booted cm13 with stock recovery,
Then re-flashed TWRP,
From TWRP, I wiped both data and system partitions,
Then fresh installed cm14 and Gapps
And it worked!
Not sure if those are the exact steps I followed because all I did was a hole lot of messing around and trying absurd things out, but think this is how I fixed it.
Let me know if it worked for you or if you still can't fix your problem
Best of luck

Thank you very much!!!! I'll try tomorrow and tell you.
I appreciate a lot!

First of all now works but to be honest, I don't know if the way I fix makes sense or if is correct but not for the same reason I do but I'll try to explain...
I had cm-14.1-20161218-NIGHTLY and I tried to update via OTA to 20161220 the phone reboot and I get the bootloop. The first I thought, install again the ROM making wipe data and blabla... nothing work.
I tried to "reflash" the recovery, nothing. Flashed cm recovery, it always gave me error trying to flash the rom. I tried to install with stock recovery, errors too.
I was reading hundred of post looking for my issues, device unauthorized, "error 7" in twrp... I was crazy.
At last I thought, I've been trying to install from SDcard, if I try to install from internal memory? and I install again the twrp to transfer the ROM and Gapps to the internal memory and... it worked!!!!
Long story but with happy ending.

Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Hello, the same for me with my M89, I'm going crazy.... Help us please!!!! Thanks!!!

Hi, i tried this method but couldnt boot in system, only twrp all the time. after initial install this TWRP 3.3.1, it bootlooped in twrp but storage wasnt seen in pc, so i formatted data and restarted in twrp. from there it couldnt restart system anymore. actually i managed to flash magisk 19.3 . i flased another version of twrp 3.2.3 that seemed to work fine, to see if it was the version, and it bootloops (restarts until logo) all the time. Any hint please?
It says in little print "your device now unlocked...your device will boot in 5 seconds" but restart. Cant get it into fastboot by volume up; unresponsive at all. just bootloops in logo.
Any help is very much appreciated. thanks

Hi
I think you are going to have to reflash the original Rom using SPFlahtool. Then you must install Magisk Manage on tabletr. Copy the boot image from the ROM files to Your phone. Then use Magisk Manager to Patch the copied boot image. Transfer modified boot image to PC. Use fastboot to flash modified boot image back onto the tablet. The long and the short of it is - you need to find a way to patch the boot image with Magisk before any TWRP will work.

Right. The problem was accesing the tablet enough time as it stayed connected and recognized by pc only 3-5 secs, and then permanent unresponsive through buttons, but i used then sp flash to just flash boot, then preloader, then recovery from stock at every reboot. From there i could turn it off, It got out of the loop, and accesible to reflash whole stock rom. In the end i only flashed magisk through fastboot, as twrp is not so useful to me as no custom rom, so better no risks.
Thanks for your reply though

I am glad you got your tablet running again. I had originally started out with just Magisk as root also. I do like to have a working TWRP for backing up though. You should be able now to flash the above mentioned TWRP now via SpFlashtool or fastboot.

It seems OEM unlock fills "para" partition with some data which forces it to boot into recovery. Stock recovery reads this data and perform data partition wipe or something similar, but TWRP does not handle this data and you get a boot loop. You can fix that by cleaning "para" partition. Execute the following command while booted into TWRP, either from TWRP terminal itself or from adb shell:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.MSDC0/by-name/para

No. It won't. I bricked my ****ing tablet. It refuses to reboot once it's unlocked because (as the screen say) it is now untrusted. There is no way to relock the bootloader again and the the tablet is stuck in a bootloop.

The bootloop is not because you've unlocked the bootloader, but most probably because the firmware is designed to perform userdata partition setup in the recovery upon first boot, and you don't have stock recovery, that's why it can't finish formatting procedure.
This could be fixed by flashing stock recovery and booting once.
You can ask for a firmware from Teclast (I used to ask them on vkontakte because they didn't respond my mails), they will provide it.
OR you can write zeros to "para" partition using fastboot, it should do the trick too.

Are you trying to enter recovery right after flashing it, without booting the OS first? I think you need do enter TWRP right after flashing it.

TWRP shows internal storage folders named as random letters.

I have a Redmi note 8 with MIUI 12 installed. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
When I try to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode using my PC, it successfully flashes and boots into the TWRP recovery. TWRP does not ask for any password for decrypting the files, and when I go to install>sdcard then the storage is all in random letters, completely unrecognizable.
I have tried a lot of tutorials on youtube but none of them worked. I tried flashing the latest version of TWRP, didn't work. I tried formatting all data and rebooting back into recovery mode, didn't work. (if you reboot to system after installing TWRP, the phone automatically deletes TWRP and the next time you open recovery mode you just get the default MI recovery, and you have to flash TWRP again to open TWRP recovery.) I tried almost everything on the internet but none of it worked. Is there any way I can make it ask for the decryption password? or have my files decrypted? I just need the TWRP for a one-time-use to install a custom ROM. I don't need it to be installed permanently, but no problem even if it does get installed permanently. I just want my custom ROM.
Please help

does that work?:
Boot into twrp, then
Code:
adb shell
twrp decrypt myPassword
(myPassword is your user password)

Okay, interessting. What's the exact error?
However, since you only want to use twrp to flash a custom OS, you could try to boot twrp (without flashing)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then wipe data via twrp and then install your custom OS. You can use sideload which should be located under "advanced" I guess.
Code:
adb sideload myCustomOS.zip
EDIT: Don't boot out of twrp before sideloading, since your os should encrypt everything again after wiping which makes it unpossible for twrp to decrypt again (at least in your case, since it failed for some reason).
If you booted out of twrp, just wipe again and then sideload.

the correct and recommend way to install TWRP is
Flash TWRP
Erase userdata partition <~ it's important to do this as soon as possible since booting your device would just encrypt everything again
Format userdata partition
by doing this you would be able to access data partition files and folder would not be random letters.

Sorry for the late reply. Earlier i just gave up on installing the custom ROM and continued with my stock from. Today a tried again, installed TWRP and turns out it is not showing random letters now. its all regular storage. i didn't even do anything to decrypt it lol it just fixed itself. Now I will install the room myself. Thank you for your help though

Ah sh** here we go again. So i installed the custom rom successfully and everything worked fine, the TWRP too. but when I tried to flash a magisk patched image (the image that I used to root my phone in MIUI) then it got stuck in the boot screen. I had to flash the stock fastboot rom again.. And as expected from my piece of **** that xiaomi calls a phone, TWRP will show encrypted folders, and does not ask for a password. Same problem. Rooted my phone again, using the magisk root image, and it worked like usual, the phone rooted. Now i am stuck again in this bs. I guess I will wait for about 4-5 days and continue using the phone like normal. Maybe it will work again this time. I will try your method here first

Okay, interessting. What's the exact error?
However, since you only want to use twrp to flash a custom OS, you could try to boot twrp (without flashing)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then wipe data via twrp and then install your custom OS. You can use sideload which should be located under "advanced" I guess.
Code:
adb sideload myCustomOS.zip
EDIT: Don't boot out of twrp before sideloading, since your os should encrypt everything again after wiping which makes it unpossible for twrp to decrypt again (at least in your case, since it failed for some reason).
If you booted out of twrp, just wipe again and then sideload.

Okay i tried wiping the data, cache and dalvik but it shows a huge essay of "error opening xxx/xxxx" in red text. Data wipe failed.
See you after like 4-5 days... hopefully

Update. I finally found a solution. It took literal hours of experimenting to find this.
-Flashed the fastboot ROM of the phone
-Rooted the phone by flashing magisk patched image
-Flashed Inception kernel via FK kernel manager
-Rebooting after flashing the kernel, It will get stuck in a black screen with no text whatsoever (probably a bootloop)
-Installed TWRP (This time TWRP does not show encrypted letters), Wiped all data, Transferred the custom ROM zip to the phone (while in TWRP) and flashing the rom
-The rom is flashed successfully. On the first reboot you get greeted with another bootloop. Fortunately the phone booted into TWRP. This time the folders are encrypted again.
-Successfully wiped the data (advanced>wipe data). No errors in data wiping this time.
-A fully working Corvus OS setup appears on rebooting.
I think the whole TWRP problem was fixed by the custom kernel. Anyways I am finally done with this now. You probably enjoyed seeing all this xD

I like that you keep trying and finding a solution, even though you had to invest hours to make it work!
Let's hope it will work if you update the OS though – I'd actually suggest a backup of all of your data before you do an update in the future, just to be safe!

I have a Redmi note 8 with MIUI 12 installed. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
When I try to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode using my PC, it successfully flashes and boots into the TWRP recovery. TWRP does not ask for any password for decrypting the files, and when I go to install>sdcard then the storage is all in random letters, completely unrecognizable.
I have tried a lot of tutorials on youtube but none of them worked. I tried flashing the latest version of TWRP, didn't work. I tried formatting all data and rebooting back into recovery mode, didn't work. (if you reboot to system after installing TWRP, the phone automatically deletes TWRP and the next time you open recovery mode you just get the default MI recovery, and you have to flash TWRP again to open TWRP recovery.) I tried almost everything on the internet but none of it worked. Is there any way I can make it ask for the decryption password? or have my files decrypted? I just need the TWRP for a one-time-use to install a custom ROM. I don't need it to be installed permanently, but no problem even if it does get installed permanently. I just want my custom ROM.
Please help

tell me how to turn off a smartphone with a non-working sensor?

you can still use adb push command from pc to transfer files to your phone :
adb push "nameoffile" /sdcard
(place the file in your adb folder) I was able to root a phone that had this issue using this technique.

I think u should flash dm verity becoz when i flashed the rom and flashed dm verity it worked fine
