Cannot boot into TWRP after flashing CM12.1 nightly

Hi.
Today I wanted to upgrade from CM11 to CM12.1, but I had to upgrade the bootloader first. It all worked and I'm now on bootloader version 41.18.
When I flashed the ROM it flashed in 20 seconds from an USB stick. It seemed a little to fast. When I rebooted it worked fine and I was on Android 5.1.1, but after installing SuperSU and rebooting I stuck into a bootloop.
I'm now in a bootloop and when I try to enter the recovery the TWRP splash screen comes up, but then it goes into the bootloop again.
I have the XT1032 and my TWRP version is 2.8.6.0 and I have a TWRP backup from CM11
If someone could push me in the right direction how I can access TWRP then that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Quick update
The phone now booted into TWRP, but when I do a restore to my backup the phone goes back to the bootloop. The same happens when I try to wipe.

I have the same issue, cannot get into twrp, how did you managed to boot into TWRP?

i had same issues in my moto g xt1032 i tried below CM12.1 works without issues.
go recovery --- wipe---- format data
and try step install steps like install rom zip & gapps

Ok, first what do you use to flash recovery, can you reflash recovery with the lastest TWRP version (2.8.7.0) and post back the logs here? Then tell me if you can get into recovery
Its common place that twrp cause bootloop with backups.

No problem try to
Install new twrp using fastboot mode it will be work fine

Can't Access TWRP Recovery

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.

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.

Help, MMB29Q update wipes TWRP

Hi all,
Recently I updated my Nexus 5 from Lollipop to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) - latest build.
everything stock works fine but, once I flash a customer recovery, in my case TWRP it stops working...I get either a startup loop or TWRP gets erased by stock recovery.
I tried various steps ...
flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 - rebooted to boot loader was able to get into TWRP but, once I reboot system, everything works but TWRP is gone/erased and replaced by stock recovery?
Flash TWRP 2.8.7.1, then flash latest TWRP 3.0, reboot to boot loader and can get into TWRP but once i reboot into system, I am stuck on the initial boot loop.
I have to start from scratch of flashing system and boot etc to get past the loop and it still replaces TWRP with stock recovery.
I can always get into Fastboot but when I go to recovery it seems its being replaced by stock recovery.
anyone experiencing this issue? thanks for your help.

I guess I am doing something stupid but, not sure what...and thanks for your help

If you give more detail on the steps you are taking it will be easier for someone to help. Also, have you tried doing a factory reset when it bootloops?

thanks for the response..here are the details..
I had Lollipop with TWRP 2.8.7.1
yesterday, I downloaded latest build from android site...extracted all files....booted into bootloader and flashed all files..
rebooted - Marshmallow works perfectly...offcourse it not rooted yet or its locedback due to this flash
Scenario:1
So downloaded TWRP 2.8.7.1 and flashed it as recovery, no errors nothing...i rebooted to bootloader and went to recovery to confirm TWRP is there
I rebooted the system - TWRP gives option to root which I said yes so its rooted. I reboot system, this goes into bootloop - I wait for say 5-10 min in this loop mode and I see that adb can recognize the device but nothing else....its stuck in loop
when I force shut down by holding power button for few sec - and go back bootloader/recovery - TWRP is still there
***note*** I did factory wipe in TWRP but that did not fix above condition.
Scenario2:
exact same steps but after I flashed twrp2.8.7.1, I rebooted bootloader and flashed twrp 3.0 as well confirmed twrp 3.0 is flashed and rebooted system - phone start normally no issues - when I restart to bootloader - no TWRP exists, its replaced by stock recovery
Scenario 2, I tried couple of other ways and still the same thing happens - twrp 3.0 get erased.
not sure what I am doing wrong but TWRP doesn't stick
since this is my active device - i flash system.img and boot.img to get the phone to working condition
thanks for your help

Can't install Custom Roms.

Alright, so its without wasting time of people here, I'd just state the summary in points.
I flashed stock rom a.17 - I had custom roms before, I got fed up with them changing every 2 months.
Then everything worked fine until I flashed the boot.img from vishal_android_freak to get recovery.
I got the twrp recovery 2.7.0.0.
I flashed AOSP 6.0.1 through it, it was done very well but the rom stuck on boot animation for more then 30 mins.
I pulled the battery out - now I had TWRP 2.8.4.0
I tried flashing the rom again, it gave /data error.
I flashed stock rom, rooted then tried other methods of getting recovery, I failed everytime (Tried from TWRP app, su dd command, Recovery installer app )
Then I found a CWM boot.img to flash through fastboot.
I did and got CWM.
I flashed AOSP again from it, it stuck on boot animation again.
Then again I flashed stock rom and repeated the process.
This time with CWM, I flashed Stryflex LP Ultimate
It also stuck on boot animations.
Any idea why this happens? How to fix this ****?
Summary: Only stock rom works, not any other rom.

I think​, that means bootloader is unlocked again! Recheck bootloader state and always use latest TWRP recovery (v3.0.2 for us).
You can download Xperia L recovery from twrp website and then use your current v2.8.4 one to install that. Or just simply use adb & fastboot in your PC and enter this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot [I]your recovery image name.img[/I]
. And then flash your desired ROM

Alright, I check bootloader state, it says bootloader unlock done means it's unlocked.
I am going to flash twrp 3.0.2 and will update you soon!

Oh Man, you saved my day! nothing worked but the damnit twrp 3.0.2
For anyone else referring here:
I get hell lot of graphical glitches when I flashed twrp 3.0.2, I just made it to factory reset and click install button although my screen was glitched and I cant even look at it.
JUST IGNORE THE GLITCHES! I wiped dalvik cache after flashing AOSP-RRO, now I'm flashing Lineage OS, thanks a lot! Button pressed.

Did TWRP 3.0.2 ultimately work with this?
If worked, I am also curious to know how much space is left there for apps in device memory, since the ROM seems to be Marshmallow based.

Stuck on LineageOS boot animation (first boot taking 1h+)

Need some help, I keep getting a infinite boot animation. I tried to install LineageOS (thread) on my G920F three times and let them all boot for about an hour without success.
This is the order of how I flashed it:
1. Wipe Davik, System, Data and Cache
2. Flash the LineageOS zip
3. Flash the Zerofltexx kernel img
4. First try flashed OpenGAPPS, second try flashed MindTheGAPPS and third try didn't flash GAPPS at all
5. Reboot and wait, after an hour still booting
Any idea's of what I'm doing wrong?

Fixed my issue!
Hi!
I had the same issue as you, followed the guides and installed TWRP through ODIN and flashed the OS through TWRP to boot it.
When I booted the device it just got stuck indefinitely on the loading animation (the Lineageos loading logo in my case).
Since you and some others had the same issue as me I assumed it was something to do with a new version of some software.
I resolved the issue by installing an older version of TWRP through ODIN,
I installed the TWRP version 3.2.3.
And then I flashed the same ROM with the GAPPS again.
After the ROM and GAPPS I also flashed MAGISK aswell from the magiskmanager website.
Download the MAGISK Zip.
After I flashed the ROM, GAPPS and MAGISK through the TWRP 3.2.3 it booted as intended.
Hope this works for you aswell!

how long did it take to boot

First Boot needs longer...up to 15 minutes is possible.

i have same probleme wtih my samsungs6 g920f i wiil try it ...hope it work ....

Remove the TWRP from the phone via the advance key in TWRP. I had tried several ROMs and Gapps only to get stuck on the boot screen then back to the TWRP screen. Removing the app made my new rom boot in less than 10 seconds.

If you can give us exactly the steps you follow

Lineageos 17 boot animation stuck

Steps (I have followed the instructions to the letter)
Wiped all partitions (advanced wipe)
formatted DATA partition
rebooted back into recovery
installed Lineage 17 and Gapps
Rebooted to system and left it all day, still stuck on boot animation
Tried again without gapps same results
Tried other roms they work, AOSP showing no encryption which works fine
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to flash different kernel? TWRP 3.3.1 installed.

Im using G920L it booting to long then just go to twrp anyhelp?

For reference, formatting data after install seems to often be the solution when flashing a new OS to a Moto G5 Plus.
