I have the original one plus with CyanogenMod 12 as the OS. I have it rooted, and have TWRP v2.8.6.1 installed. I rebooted the phone since wifi wasn't working, and now it won't boot. It just spins endlessly. I can boot into TWRP but if I try to do a backup to internal storage it fails. I'm in an airport so I have no access to a computer. Anyone experience this? What do I do? I need my phone to get out of this airport.
The log shows it cannot start certain folders in /data/system, specifically ifw, users, ndebugsocket, and two Dropbox events. Trying to back up data gets a 255 error at createtarfork

Here is the history
NS4G
Rooted in early January and flashed an ICS rom (Vgomez)
Then flashed CM9 alpha 20 and made a couple of Nandroid backups over the course of the month.
Briefly flashed the Stock 4.0.4 rom. Didn't like it.
Restored via Nandroid to the CM9 alpha 20
everything was great.
Yesterday I went to make a call and the phone locked. I tried to power down...no luck. So I pulled the battery.
It never came back. (got some type of 'android lost encryption' error)
I power up the phone and it brings me to a brand new user page where I would have to login with my gmail creds.
Then it starts throwing errors like calander stopped working, google settings app stopped working, android.process.acore stopped working. etc...
I can boot to CWM and but it will not allow me to recover to anything other than what I described above.
I can mount the USB partition and it appears to allow me to copy files into that partition. However, if I try to flash a ROM, Kernel, etc. It terminates the operation and says the file is bad.
When I reboot CWM and go to view the USB partition again, those files that I had just moved into the partition are now missing.
It is as though I have not copied the file at all.
Without access to the allow USB debug setting, I cannot adb anything.
I have tried the Samsung yellow boot/restore (odin?) when I click the 'Download files' button it throws a generic error and halts the process.
At this point, I don't care if the phone is put back to stock because I won't lose anything important. I just want to get my phone working again.
edit: I do have access to fastboot. I have wiped everything and tried to boot and it sticks in the bootloader (good?) I assume that when I try to flash one of the ROMs that I do have in the USB partition...it will go back to the way it was. (errors and all)
I suspect that the Kernel is corrupt. How would I fix this without being able to write to the USB partition?

If you have access to fastboot and assuming your flash storage isn't damaged, you should be able to flash over /boot with a boot.img and over /system with a system.img... But you might have to search around for them. Sorry i can't be more help.
kernels ; battery ; ROM ; gov/sched
http://www.mediafire.com/?wg9krukqp43nq1i theres a link to the boot.img for the apex bigxie rom (ics 4.0.3), try flashing that through fastboot i think the command is "fastboot flash boot %imglocation%.img" so just put the img in the folder you usually flash stuff with the fastboot bat in it, then try and flash this boot and tell me what happens.
ps, the %imglocation% should be the name of the img wherever you put it, so it will probably be boot.img.
I have a TV110 (Amlogic S805, 1gb/8gb) Android TV Box. I was trying to replace the stock ROM with Openelec v5.0.8 from Kerber. The update went fine until it rebooted to launch Openelec then it hung at the Openelec logo for over an hour. I thought the box was hung so I removed power and rebooted. It hung again in the same place so I decided to use the reset button to launch recovery. I must have cycled power too quickly because it would only show the boot logo and would go no further. Something was seriously wrong with the box.
I created a bootup SD card with TWRP recovery on it. I booted up into TWRP 2.8.6 without any issues but could not restore any of the partitions. TWRP was getting errors trying to mount all the partitions. I figured I could go back to stock (I have a NAND backup). When I try to wipe or restore it fails because the partitions are not mounted. I tried to install the old firmware using the install from TWRP and I get "Error executing updater binary in zip".
At this point I am stumped. What do I do next?? How do I get my box bootable again?? Can I somehow re-create the partitions??
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello
Really bad morning.
Woke up to find my OPO (was running COS 12.1 with TWRP), which I had plugged in to charge overnight, stuck on an android screen which said please enter your password. I entered my Google account password and then the next screen says, decryption unsuccessful. "Your password is correct but your data is corrupted. You need to factory reset your device and once you reboot you will have an opportunity to retrieve data backed up with your Google account".
I tried to reboot, just to make sure, and the same set of screens reappeared.
I tried to boot into recovery. The 'teamwin' screen kept flashing to no avail.
Entered fastboot. Flashed recovery, TWRP-2.8.7.0-bacon.
Tried to factory reset but the prompt flashed an error as follows:
'E: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer' and then a series of others, but " could not mount '/data' " was repeated over and over
I'm still stuck here. How to get out of this situation?
PS: When I try to look at the mount options in recovery, the internal storage is labelled as 0 MB. This is scary.
I'm more screwed than you are. Twrp 2870 does not properly support encryption. Great to know an official release is that broken, right? Flash an older twrp, I believe 2860 or 61 are what you want. Try to reflash your cm zip. You're going to have to resetup your device but your internal sd should be fine, it says 0 mb because it's not decrypted so it can't read it. Then you should be okay... Well, except I've never seen that screen you described in the first paragraph. But that usually related to apps, not your internal sd. Good luck. I've accidentally erased all my system and data so I can't adb flash and can't flash from internal sd. My last hope before reformating everything and losing my pictures is to install via USB OTG. Which you could also do.
Good luck

Hey, I just found out that there is a way to flash a system image via fastboot! This is why I buy unlocked developer minded phones! If only OP hadn't dropped the ball on the OP2 (I actually got an invite which I didn't even use).
Anyway, go here: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...lashing-recovery-roms-kernels-rooting.291274/
and scroll down to "The Bad" In ORANGE text: 2. Recovering from no OS installed and no access to TWRP, fastboot does work.
Since TWRP is basically useless for us, I followed the instructions. I flashed everything EXCEPT the userdata img. AND, instead of flashing the extracted recovery, I just reflashed TWRP 2861 which I have on the PC.
Unfortunately! All my pics are gone. Pretty sure removing encryption with TWRP (before reading it was broken) did it. Try installing a good ROM via USB OTG and let me know if that saves your internal sd. I'd love to know for the future.
Hello,
I am new to rooting so I hope what i say makes sense.
I recently rooted my Samsung galaxy s6 G920IDVU3EPC6 yesterday. After seeing a update notification pop up it took me to twrp where I tried everything to get out of it, install the .zip thing. reboot. Nothing would get me out of the twrp menu. stupidly, I did an advanced wipe and it appears I got rid of all the system files or something like that.
Now the only thing I can do is enter the blue download menu or get stuck on the boot logo screen forever. I have made backups of my files on my PC. How do I get my phone back? please help me!
Hi,
Samsung OTAs (Over The Air) updates won't work on a rooted device. It has rebooted into TWRP, because normally it reboots into it's original Samsung recovery and installs the update. But because TWRP replaces the Samsung recovery, it doesn't work.
And if you have wiped the System partition, you no longer have anything installed. No Android, nothing.
The easiest thing to do would be to flash the original firmware for your device. Then you can do the update, then root your device.
A good habit to get into when you have TWRP installed is to do regular TWRP full backups. That way, if anything happens (like wiping your device), you can just restore that backup from TWRP, and the phone will be exactly as it was, with all partitions intact

I can't flash the original ROM. When I try to flash it on odin it never gets past setup connection or NAND write start. I tried different versions and cable and port and it doesnt work. PLEASE HELP
I can enter the TWRP menu but whenever I do something it says no OS installed.
Hi all,
A couple of days ago I flashed the OTA image for 8.1. Realising I don't have root and not finding a way to root 8.1 yet, I figured, hey, I'll go back to 8.0. Luckily I did a full backup using TWRP before upgrading.
TWRP 3.1.1 was unable to decrypt the filesystem and therefore restore anything (which I've read is a known issue). Neither could 3.2.1, and 3.2.1 couldn't see the OTG drive I have the backup on, either.
At this point I'd already wrecked the OS by trying to restore without first decrypting the filesystem (figured it'd just overwrite it so who cares). So I flashed the latest 8.0 factory image, started it up to make sure it boots, went back into TWRP and restored the full backup from the OTG drive.
This succeeds - but when rebooting all I get is the initial Google logo. Nothing else. No loop, no progress meter, nothing.
Am I missing a step? Anyone?

Had you ever tried restoring the backup before to verify it was stable? Perhaps there was some corruption in the backup file?
Well, it is able to restore the whole thing without an error. I think that counts as verifying that it's not corrupt...
I'm facing the same exact issue. I've got several previous backups of my Pixel, all of 8.1, and if I try restoring any partition except /data they restore successfully and boot as a fresh phone.
Now of course I need my data, but when I try to restore any of my previously backed up /data partitions, they either freeze during restoration or restore successfully. However if they do restore successfully, my phone won't boot anymore. After showing the Google logo, then animated G, it reboots back to recovery.
I tried most things as of now but to no avail. This really sucks!
