Troubleshooting Z5 Stuck in Limbo After Bad Flash TWRP - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had a problem with my phone since flashing Lineage and Gapps in TWRP, something went wrong, it's acting like I have a corrupted version of Lineage with only the basic functions, Gapps is not installed and I've lost root.
The phone is an Xperia Z5, prior to flashing Lineage zip I had successfully rooted the phone, i flashed Lineage and then Gapps, an error appeared saying Gapps had not installed (possibly because it was the wrong version). After that the phone went into a bootloop (Sony logo, battery icon, then restart with red light in the corner). I was able to turn the phone on by holding down the power button for 5 seconds and lineage started up as normal with just the basic apps, I have been using the phone for the last month like this unable to find an answer on the forum. If I was able to connect the phone to PC i could use flashtool to flash the stock rom and start from scratch, but it only charges even though i have usb set to MTP in developer options, it's not detected by PC no matter how many cables I try. Also, it will not install apps from the Play website, it downloads and says app is installed but app isn't shown in list of apps. Can't get into TWRP because it says device is not rooted. When I switch phone off it restarts again and goes into bootloop, have to hold down power button to start it up. I wondered if anyone was familiar with these strange symptoms and knew if there was any way out? My phones stuck in limbo until I can find a way of doing a hard reset but without being able to get into TWRP or connect phone to PC I'm stuck.

Phone won't turn on after cm-13.0-20151201-NIGHTLY-bacon.

I just downloaded and installed it and now my phone just resets back and again, i can't seem to turn it on. Tried installing the patch a few times, tried wiping catche, still the same bug, i reboot, the phone loads, suddenly there s a vib, screen goes black, then to android opo logo and to android logo, then it does the same thing again, constantly. I have no other patch to install (recently wiped them all because of lack of space, such thing has never happened to me before, but i should have left at least one =(( and i can't copy it to disc from my computer because i have no access while it's off on in recovery. I'm in deep **** now, that was like the worst moment ever for my phone to break down. Please HELP.
Did you took backup of yout last ROM ? .. If yes then flash it in recovery. If NO then use USBOTG .. Download 12.1 rom and copy it to pendrive from computer and connect to Phone and flash rom by selecting USB-OTG

cant i try flashing 6.0 gaps via fastboot mode? if yes what is the command
Can you boot into recovery mode if you press the power and vol down button at the same time? If you can you'll be able to see your phone through your computer.

Phone not working and can't access recovery

Please help!!
I decided I didn't want the lineage os I flashed a couple of months ago and wanted to go back to my old Lenovo os which I had a nandroid backup of ( my phone is a Lenovo k5). I opened twrp recovery and started the restoration proccess. However, Halfway through the proccess I get an error message that said *error:extracttarfork()proccess ended with error=255*.
This made my nervous and Instead of pressing the back option I pressed the reboot system, which is obviously wrong since the system wasn't fully Installed and the old one was deleted as part of the reboot process. So now I am stuck at the screen that says "lenovo" on it and the phone doesn't go any further. I can't open twrp recovery using the key combination ever since I flashed lineage and I can't boot into bootloader. Any computer that I connect to the phone won't be of any use since the phone won't be visible to the computer. Please tell me if you have any idea how to access the recovery page or how to make th key combination work again, or if you have another solution to solve this problem.

Primux Sirico 2 issues

Hello everyone, I have lots of issues with this tablet since I bought it. It works painfully slow, yet resetting it doesn't change anything, still the same problem. I also tried to root it via Kingroot and it werk, however it took me lot of time due to the system being unresponsive / unstable and almost useless. It comes with android 4.0.3 and I also tried looking up for any possibilites to reinstall the firmware since I'm extremely sure it could be caused from the firmware it also got installed from the factory. I also tried searching for custom roms and other ways around for TWRP or any custom recovery, but no result. I also tried up with the Flashify app to try extracting / backing up / dumping the recovery and the kernel but the app freezes up. I also tried a possibility to update the firmware from their official page, hence it failed to do so since it gives an error in their flashing software that dosen't tell me nor it logs it what it could be caused up from the connecting part.
primux.es/producto/tablets/tablet-primux-siroco-2-101/189
(not sure if anyone understands spanish thought but I can translate if needed)
This is the page from where I tried to download and install their software and their firmware down below on the page. primuxcomputers.es/primux/siroco2upgrade.pdf
There are the instructions where I tried to follow but at the "Imagen 9: Icono" part got me stuck in there. It requests me to insert the cable in the tablet holding the "Home" button and while holding it, plugging in the USB cable throught PC, and tap quickly the "Power" button 3 times. However it gives me a red X icon and yet nothing shows up in the devices: No ID, no other kind of detection no logs no nothing. After it showed up the X on the status, it disconnects itself and it changes to ready / green icon and plugs itself in again but nothing really happens to detect it again thought.
I also tried to boot in recovery mode but nothing happens menawhile Flashify keeps on the rebooting in recovery mode in loop doing nothing else... I'm seriously in pain with this tablet. And if you ask me to return it, not gonna even bother doing that..
I seriously hope any answer very soon and don't get dissapointed by the ignorance of this topic..

Oppo R7S - ROM installation crashed, cannot get back to recovery mode, keeps crashing

Hi there,
I am a newbie and hoping that someone could help to give me some clear pointers about options that i could take to rescue my phone - I hope its not bricked.
I was attempting to install LineageOS 16 on my Oppo R7s. This is my second attempt at installing a ROM - I did it a couple of weeks ago with Project Spectrum, and it worked, but Project Spectrum didn't impress me, so i wanted to try lineage OS instead).
I entered developer mode and enabled USB debugging
I downloaded the LineageOS zip to my SD card, as well as a Google Apps zip.
I downloaded the TWRP app on my phone just in case it was needed, however I've never used that app and not 100% sure how to use it.
I rebooted in recovery mode, and tried to install from the LineageOS zip file. It didn't start installing, I got some error message which I cannot recall... so I tried wiping the application data first, to see if that would help (maybe that was my mistake??)
I then went back to the install menu, and tried to install the Google Apps package first.... it started downloading, but then crashed and black screened.
Now, when I try to power on the phone, I get the oppo logo, and then it briefly goes back to the install screen for a second, with a message on the screen saying: "updating please wait, do not remove battery, do not co other operations" - but this only lasts for a second, then it crashes.
When I try to reboot into recovery mode (Power key +volume down), it does the same thing. I cannot get back to the white recovery menu.
Is there any way that I can rescue the situation and get back into recovery mode to try again? Or get back to a functioning USB connection so I can load a new ROM zip to try that instead?
When I plug it into the power, I get no indication that the phone is charging.
I'm worried the battery will go flat.
I have ADB installed on my computer, but I dont really know how to use it - the only command I know is "adb push" to load the roms onto the SD Card
Any advice on how to get access again would be greatly appreciated!

Galaxy S7 got stuck before boot. Need I to wait for the battery to die?

Hi, it is an older device so you might have experienced everything possible.. so,
After a long time of trying to fix that phones mind, I wiped everything avaible in TWRP
multiple times(got mad). Last thing was data.
That way I went from a bootloop to an active nothing.
Phone does not react to any command, it does not react to USB charging or on PC.
That's the case a few months back, the phone halfway in the trash and I bought
myself a iphone (hate it).
I put the Galaxy S7 on a charger today and it starts immediatly in to TWRP.
From there I tried to install a ROM that's left on the SD card, which forced
a restart into TWRP. Into download mode I managed to install the stock Oreo ROM via Odin.
It went through like a charme, all green. PASS!
The phones screen is black and does not react to any command, nothing.
I had "auto-reboot" activated.
The phone is active it's warm and I'm waiting for the battery to die again, to restart.
..meanwhile,
Can you give some advice please?
Why would the phone have struggle with the boot with stock rom installed.(which has worked before,no updates installed)
When should I install TWRP?
When do I install what kernel?
Last thing running was the LightROM with moro kernel with nothing tweaked.
Also. The issue why i deaded the phone was a camera/flash thing, where I could only take pictures with flash activated.
Front and back camera. On all camera apps, I couldnt scan my ID for banking due to that.
Also on different kernels and different ROMs including the Samsung stock.
Why would that be
Could not accept...

OK so what you've done is correct flashing stock (which includes stock kernal). You have to make sure the stock ROM is correct for your device and region or it will not start.
It's not unusual to have to flash it twice with Odin.
Next up you don't need to wait for batt to die to restart. Press volume down+home+power and keep them pressed until phone restarts. Should now be in download mode, reflash correct ROM with Odin. TWRP is wiped off the phone when you flash a stock ROM.
If it doesn't go through the boot up/freezes/ does nothing etc. You need to "wipe cache" then reboot from the recovery menu.
Press and hold volume down+home+power. As soon as the screen goes black move your finger to volume up (it may take more than one attempt). Once your in recovery menu use volume up and down to move through options and power to execute. Wipe cache then reboot and allow the phone to go through all the reboot stuff. It can take a few minutes just leave it alone. It will also reboot a couple of times.
If it does nothing after 15 minutes then start again and repeat the process.
Thanks for reply.
The Phone was off for a day and after charging for 1h it still does not react to any command. Vol down + home + power does nothing. Same with vol up.
Is there a way to force a boot? Even if the PC does not recognize a device on usb?
I Tried the commands 30 secs each, plugged in and off. Also usb port is not broke since the phone is getting temperature after a while charging..
