Hey there,
so I wanted to update LineageOS to the latest nightly (1st August) coming from an April nightly. I did it OTA, entered TWRP, installed the update and got stuck in TWRP, which is apparently a known issue with TWRP 3.0.2.0. But I didn't know that, and tried to fix it by installing a backup of CM 13 WITHOUT wiping data, because I did not want to lose my data. Stupid, I know.
I then found a fix to leave TWRP and tried booting into CM 13 but now I'm stuck in a bootloop when the phone is connected to my pc. . It shows the CM logo, then prepares apps, shows the logo, prepares apps, logo, and so on... When I unplug it, it gets stuck at "Preparing Apps"
I can't enter Download mode or Recovery mode using the keys and adb/fastboot commands don't work while the phone is turned off or booting.
Any ideas what I can do?
Hello, what is your device?
If battery is removable, remove battery then put it back and try to boot to download mode
Its an LG 2 Mini and i have done that already.
Do you know how i could possibly fix the issue with rebooting when connected to my computer? Maybe then i can recover it via adb
Turn off the phone
Keep holding down Volume Up button.
Put a USB cable that is connected to pc
Continue holding Volume Up button throughout download mode until fastboot mode appears and you can release the Volume Up button.
If that didn't work try with volume down
I'm in Download mode now, thanks! However i can't use adb or fastboot commands, even though i have the right drivers installed.
In the Windows device manager it shows it as" "LGE Android MTP device" with Code 10 Error (the device couldnt be started)
Anyone knows how to proceed?

What do you get when you try to use fastboot commands?
"waiting for any device"
Fastboot devices is also empty

I believe it's a problem with my adb or my drivers, because I can't get it to work with my other phone either
Sorry for being late, try installing usb drivers again from the lg site
I did, but it didnt help
On Linux Mint it shows "unable to mount LGE Android Phone"

First of all, when restoring a backup, wipes are not necessary because the partitions are automatically formatted during the restore process. It wipes data for you, anything there would have been wiped anyway even though you were trying to avoid losing data, it is intentionally designed to do this so that you don't have conflicts with existing data.

What i meant when i said i didnt wipe data was that i didnt choose to restore data when restoring the backup - just system and boot

Linux usually comes with needed files by default, just install the platform tools package + fastboot and adb package and try again i don't think you would need to install drivers.

Yeah, that would have caused problems.
You can't use data from one ROM in a different ROM. When you restored, you left the data from LOS, the system and boot from CM13 won't work with the data from LOS.
For future reference, don't mix data from other ROMs, they don't play well in most cases.
Using advanced restore to only restore certain partitions usually only works when using the same ROM or an older/newer version of the same ROM.
If you can get back into recovery somehow, you'll probably need to do advanced wipes to wipe system partition and data partition then flash a ROM. Wipe cache and dalvik/ART cache after flashing the ROM, then reboot.

We can zero the laf partition to force the phone in fastboot mode but we must proceed in caution if you want to.

I know there is another very similar thread that was just opened(http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/completely-stock-oneplus-one-stuck-t3396207), but his solution didn't help me so I'm making this thread.
I really need to save my internal data, so only as a last resort will I wipe userdata to save my phone.
First of all my phone is completely stock. Locked bootloader, unrooted, stock recovery, and stock rom. Last thursday(June 9th), I got the CM13.1 OTA update which I installed and everything went normal. It finished installing, restarted and booted up, optimized apps, rebooted, but then optimized apps again and again. I thought it might help to just reboot my phone, but it didn't. So I immediately started looking around for solutions.
I can boot into recovery and fastboot mode and since I can boot into recovery I started with wiping cache(Stock Recovery>>Factory reset>>Wipe cache partition). It took ~20mins which seemed like an unusually long time, then I rebooted and it still got stuck in the "optimizing apps/reboot loop". Next, I set up USB drivers, ADB, and fastboot since it seems to be very important to have those set up. I used a few guides to get them properly set up and I checked that they were correct by checking that the cmds "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" returned my device, which they did. I saw someone saying he saved his friends OPO by just ADB sideloading a CM zip file, so it looked hopeful in my case. I downloaded cm 13.0 and 13.1 zip files and tried sideloading them with the cmd "adb sideload cm13.zip". I tried both and they both got to around 50% complete and the install failed. Some of the red text said, "Package expects build fingerprint of oneplus/bacon/A0001:5.1:6.0.1..... & E:Failed to install /sideload/packages.zip ". Next I tried installing TWRP, which looks like it requires an unlocked bootloader to flash it(even to to just boot into it). From all my research it looks like there's no way to unlock the bootloader without wiping data. Even the OPO toolkit says you need to wipe data to unlock your bootloader.
One thing I haven't looked too much into is using fastboot to save my device. This guide http://www.technobuzz.net/fix-bricked-dead-oneplus-one-easily/ shows to flash userdata userdata_64g.img, which I assume wipes userdata.
Maybe I'm just overlooking some simple fix, but if anyone can help me I would be eternally grateful.
Edit: I need my phone working and I'm tired of waiting for help, so I just did a factory rest. Also I've been getting tons of conflicting advice. Thanks everyone for the help anyways
kinda on the same boat here.
may i ask how you set up adb? i cant get it to work

download and install the 15 second adb/fastboot installer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
It'll create a folder: C:/adb, In that folder you can open a cmd prompt window to send cmds to your device through adb/fastboot. that folder is also where you place files that you want to flash or boot into.
Also for the USB drivers just download the oneplus one toolkit, or use this guide: http://www.technobuzz.net/install-oneplus-one-usb-drivers-windows/
the opo toolkit is in the 2nd method
Still looking for help. Phone status: After sideloading cm 12.1 it boots up but I get tons of errors saying com.android.phone failed/ android.system.acore failed which make my phone inoperable, also my phone usually reboots after ~10 seconds after booting up and getting errors.
when you flashed the stock zip via sideloading did you use the full zip or the incremental zip?

I'm in the same situation.
It seems like a cache cleaning is needed but I have no idea whether it possible without a custom recovery and without a full adb support.

You can wipe cache partition in stock recovery also. To boot into recovery mode first power off your device. Press Volume down + Power button together until you see oneplus logo. When device is in recovery mode press volume down and select 'wipe cache partition' and press power button to confirm the action. Reboot after process completes.

The same like woodhaus I have locked bootloader and there is no USB debug over adb.
I don't have a 'wipe cache partition' in the recovery.
The only things I can use are adb sideload and fastboot.

Hello, I've been trying to install Cyanogenmod 12 but every time Rom Manager does nothing when I flash installation or with other options I can't go into recovery mode since it just reboots every time!
I have Sony Xperia T with Android 4.3 and I need newer version to install Pokemon Go!
I have tried many guides so pls don't post me links but just write me step by step what to do or tell me what I do wrong!
1. I have unlocked bootloader on my phone, my camera still works despite what the guide said. When I go into SERVICE in phone it says it's unlocked.
2. At this point I tried installing TWRP but to my finding I need to root my phone! Wtf there was nothing about this in the guides... But okay, I look in Internet and install KingRoot that automatically unlocks the root. Now I can install apps that require root.
3. I install Twrp, it ask me if I wanna install Bombox or something like that but I press no, I go into backup and whenever I try to do it, it does nothing. I restart the app and this time I try installation without any backup. I select the zip file of CM for my phone, select to wipe the data etc and start. But it does nothing and just freezes :/
4. I try Rom Manager, I install it try to do backup but it tells me to install something but later it says my device is unsupported?! I try installing just the Rom zip but again nothing...
Whenever I try to go into recovery mode through any apps it just restarts my phone!
Pls help I don't know what to do...

I have TWRP Manager installed, I didn't install TWRP with this before since I thought it is the same thing?!
I just tried to install it, I selected my phone then the version to download and at the end when it tries to flash I get an error that flashing was unsuccessful and it's either because I have this installed or another error occurred. Then I have option to cancel or to reboot now but if I press it then it freezes and I can only close the app.
I have clean phone with no data, it's an old one so I'm not really scarred to lose anything just wanna get that CM12.

There are plenty of occurrences in TWRP where it will show that recovery was not successfully installed. Once TWRP Manager shows you that message, close the app and shut down your device and then try to boot to recovery using the correct button sequence. I believe for your device that the correct button sequence is as follows:
Power off your device.
Boot in*recovery mode*by pressing and holding Volume Up and Power*Button*at the same time.
Release all buttons when the Sony Xperia T screen flickers and in a few seconds the Recovery screen will appear.
Give this a try.

Well, I suspect that if TWRP Manager cannot install recovery on your device then you will have to download the correct TWRP from www.twrp.me and fastboot flash recovery on your device.

Just to make sure, you can still boot the device normally into 4.3 JellyBean, right?
Okay, have you ever used ADB or fastboot?
Have you installed a program on your PC like
Minimal ADB & Fastboot or 15 Second ADB installer or the Android SDK?
To verify that your ADB & fastboot is installed and working correctly follow these steps:
Boot your device normally.
Go to Developer Options and verify you have OEM Unlock enabled and USB Debugging enabled.
Connect the device to your PC with the USB cable.
Once connected to the PC you should see a pop-up message on the device asking for authorization. If so, check the box to "always allow".
Open the Device Manager on your PC and look to see if your device is recognized. (if you see a yellow triangle or question mark the correct drivers need to be installed)
So, if your device is recognized and the correct drivers are installed, open a command prompt window and type this:
adb devices
If your ADB is setup and working and your device is properly recognized the command prompt will return with a list of attached devices and the serial number of the device.
This is where we need to start that way we know the ADB and fastboot environment is setup and working correctly.
Also, I was looking around the XDA Xperia forums and there are some good guides on how to do this just in case you want to read up on the subject.

Thanks.
To unlock bootloader I was using some fastboot program which was in a guide and I had to go to cmd and just type fastboot.exe oem unlock boot 0xKEY or something like that and then I just installed app that rooted my phone and that's it. Nothing more. I didn't install any other things since I have problems with Internet :/

Quick question. Which recovery did you install? Philz or TWRP?
Good job on getting into recovery. First, I would take a backup. That way if anything goes wrong you can boot into recovery and restore your backup and have a working device again. After your backup, when you install a ROM+GAPPS you will need to perform a full wipe. This includes:
Dalvik Cache
System
Data
Cache
Do not select your internal storage unless you have your ROM + GAPPS saved on a micro SD Card or USB OTG drive. If you have your ROM+ GAPPS saved to your internal storage and you wipe it you will not have an OS to install. Just be careful when selecting partitions to wipe. Let me know if you need any help.

Hi and thanks for fast reply again,
I have successfully installed Cyanogenmode which Im grateful!
But I Have a problem, I have installed gapps but when i go into phone i can only see Cyanogenmode apps and none from google! I'm running gapps installation again, maybe it will help.
After everything is okay I can wipe whole system with internal storage right? I think it switched to TWRP after I have booted into cyanogenmode successfully.

I would dirty flash the ROM + GAPPS again without wiping anything and then boot normally and see if you have your Google Apps. Also, don't wipe your system unless you have another ROM ready to install. Also, don't wipe your internal storage and your system at the same time unless you have a ROM saved on a micro SD Card or USB OTG drive. The only time you should wipe the internal storage is when you are doing a completely clean installation and you want your device to be in a fully stock new state.

If you are having a lot of apps force closing I suggest finding a different ROM to install. Maybe a stock style ROM that has Gapps built in. Try several ROM's. You may find one you like better.

Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

if your problem is not solve then tell me you need to flash a fastboot rom first with save user data.bat file and when it installed then you can install twrp builder 3.2.1. and then boot to twrp this methods working fine,if you recently flashed any android 10 rom then first you need to flash a miui fastboot rom,or flash it via command mode direct only 3 files
first click on extract a fastboot rom and copy boot system and vender file with flash.all bat file and make a new folder then click on flash.bat save user data file to flash these images
or you can do this manually
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vender vender.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot device to fastboot again
now flash latest official twrp builder 3.2.3.1 img twrp and take all your data backup,
in fastboot flash latest miui do not downgrade direct otherwise you lost your data,
after this if you sucess then you can flash your old rom which is running before issue of boot loop of redmi logo
it will deincrypt your data safely and then root device and boot normally, if you lost anything then contact me with mail or whatsapp i will help you,7009197673 india

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

Thank you for the effort you put into typing up a guide to help me, but I ended up fixing my own problem.
I was able to use fastboot to flash on a better TWRP release, and then get the rom to install properly by installing fcrypt-disabler just after it.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.

I have the same problem that stated after installing the update for derpfest and I can boot into twrp. Any solution for me?
I was trying to flash a custom ROM with Orange Fox Custom Recovery, but when i loaded the zip, the screen was loading for hours, so I assumed it got stuck in a boot loop. So I go back to recovery to wipe and repeat, but OrangeFox displays a message that my partition is encrypted, asking for an encryption password, which I do not know (i tried my device's PIN and it wasn't that). So i go back and I see that everything is wiped, there's literally no internal storage, when I try to wipe whatever's left it says there was an error: can't wipe Dalvik. So at this point, my PC won't recognize the device, I can't decrypt the storage, and if I try loading my new ROM it's stuck in a boot loop.
What do I do?
Are you sure there's no sign of the device being shown in computer?
Try leaving the device in the bootlooping load of ROM or even in recovery mode and checking in both situtations if device appears in the computer. I always used TWRP for recovery and it never failed to install...
Can't you ADB sideload the rom too?

i managed to put it on fastboot and i can see my phone with the "fastboot devices" command. No sign of it in the file explorer though. What do I do at this point?
install TWRP and flash ROM again. Do t forget to wipe cache data dalvik and system.
I never used orangefox and therefore Idk if the problems lay on it.
i have used my phone and all was fine, but i wanted to reboot it and something went wrong. first it has stuck in boot loop, i waited ~10 minutes and tought it'll boot but no, then i tried enter a Recovery (twrp) and it just doesnt want to boot even in recovery. So i went to fastboot and flashed a new verion of twrp, but it still won't boot. All the times when i have been stuck in a bootloop i just cleared caches wia twrp and phone booted fine but now i really doesn`t know what i can do to rescue it and not lose my data. So maybe there is a way i can wipe caches without accessing the recovery menu? =(
if i force bootloader to load from fastboot it throws me back into a fastboot.

also i have tried alot of recoveries ( bunch of twrps, 3 orange foxes, PE recovery) no one works, TWRP&OF just hangs on splash screens and PErecovery is just a black screen. i just have no clue what do i do. i can try flash rom from a fastboot but then i will lose all my data.
i have no much knowlege about logging in android, here is adb logcat https://pastebin.com/6bSFURBM

Start by format data,miflash can do it.(will erase the data and create a new partition if necessary).
And use this TWRP https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=318270
just flash stock rom with miflash and select save user data and done, will flash the entire rom without lose your personal data
