[Q] Need help BIG time, no OS anymore.

So before I installed Cyogenmod months ago I forgot to backup everything but I didn't think it mattered as everything was running smooth. I try to update to a nightlybuild that was in my settings and TWRP said it failed. Every single time I tried to reboot or factory reset I would constantly go back to the TWRP screen. I've tried drag and dropping multiple roms onto the phone, find it and 'swipe to confirm flash' but it ALWAYS says fail no matter what. And when I try to go to reboot it says 'WARNING: No OS found.' I've been trying all day and I literally need this phone to work but nothing I do is helping. Please help? Or ask any questions you guys need to know.:crying::crying::crying:

How bout the specs on that phone?
Model, link me to the phone here on xda, link me to the support page of your manufacturers website, etc.
Sounds like a partitioning issue.

For Samsung phone:
Go download mode and flash a ROM through ODIN.
For non-Samsung devices:
Flash a ROM from SD-Card.

First, flash to stock based on carrier.
Taken straight from an xda forum post for the sprint model Here is a page that has the stock ruu's use the one at the bottom of the list.
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Jewel
Second, fastboot flash the latest twrp img for your evo. (Or however you got it on there in the first place.)
Last, get back to cm or whatever rom you want using the way that you originally got there.

I don't understand that, he provides fastboot commands and two downloads which should provide s-off.
Boot into bootloader with key combo and then use fastboot on your pc with the commands he provided.
If you need drivers then ask.

help problem with update.

sorry for my English fierst lol )))
hello. i have unlocked lg d800 undroid 4.4.2 not rooted and whont update knock code and when i trie to update it cpmes messige "youer phone not registered yet" whot can i do? please help. thanks ))

most probably you'll have to root your phone.
Kernel with the knock code update is available here (last one) https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=NAME&search=d800
So according to my knowledge you can get the knock code update simply by flashing the D800-20u kernel on top of the KITKAT(original) rom.

i can't get it without root?? i never root this phone

Well it seems that you need to root to flash which is really easy. Rooting is not rocket science

No data will be lost. So that suggests you it is a simple process and you always can unroot the device.
****For your information Even if you do a factory reset only the settings will be gone. Non of you photos or files will be lost.

Well i think i found to flash the update without rooting. Download the kernel (last one in https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=NAME&search=d800 and extract it. If it contains a kdz file then tell me. Im at work btw)

Hi, i have a galaxy j1 mini sm-j105B . I tried to flash this custom recovery i found on the internet, intended for the sm-j105H , and it worked fine to use it to flash SUperSU on it. But the TWRP i believe its not working 100%. The partition layout is different from H to B model. I dont know how it will work on your F model, but as i said, it worked on mine to use it to push SUperSU inside, root works fine. Want to try ? i can provide the links, but no guarantee it will work for your F as it worked for my B. Cheers

It's not a bad thing since I have the original stock recovery. I just flash it again and try another custom recovery with the hope that one will eventually work

Just to clarify, the twrp i will provide does show that message before it boots. But that does not make my device bootloop like i read somewhere, nor it stops it from installing supersu correctly. It seems to work just fine. Anyway, if you dont want to see that message simply flash the stock recovery.img (easy downloadable) via Odin compressed as .tar . It replaces the recovery without changing the root status. While in download mode, your phone status will still be "custom", but no more seandroid messages will be displayed and the root works just fine.

I have seen and fixed that "recovery not seandroid enforcing" and it doesn't make me panic anymore. As for the custom part, my phone has been like that since I used a custom bootloader to achieve root via ChimeraTool then SuperSU failed to update binaries and I am stuck using 360root:crying:

Ok here we go, give this a shot:
------------------------------------------
Developer options -> Enable OEM Unlock + USB Debug.
Flash with Odin.
In case it does not work, let me know.
Mine have the "recovery not seandroid..." but it works just fine. Also in case it does boot ok into twrp, press the touch button right above the home button and check if there is any stuff written there in RED. report to me please in case it does. Press the same mid touch button to go back to the main menu.

1 out of 10 people had an issue where Odin would "PASS" the twrp flash, but the stock recovery would remain. We managed to fix this but then you would need extra files.

Phone bricked after updating

Yeah. That's it. I just clicked on Update (from Settings menu), it rebooted. Completed the whole process, then booted into Huawei eRecovery. Which has three options:
Download latest version and recovery
Reboot
Shutdown
Chose the first, it connected to WiFi and searched for 'package' from server but didn't find any. Then just showed me the other two options. Now I'm stuck here. I choose the first option, it searches, fails and tells me to reboot.........................
Note : Never unlocked bootloader, rooted, custom recovery or anything.

That didn't happen to me. Are you sure about your phone's model? Flashing wrong ROM doesn't cause phone to not turn on. Check if it charges

I assume no Android P Beta for Verizon Pixels?

I just got a "really blue" pixel XL today and I seem to have the problem that so many people are facing, I can not unlock my bootloader
The guy I bought it from said it was the google version, but not 100% sure if it is or not, and not sure how to distinguish if it is or not.
Anyway, to my question, the main reason I bought the phone was to try out Android P, but it seems I can not install it, since my bootloader is lock, correct? and I would assume there is no workaround for this, either?
Thanks!

I could be mistaken, but I think if it's stock software you should be able to flash the file provided by Google.... On a locked bootloader.

If it is Verizon version you can still get Android P on it by side loading the OTA. You just need adb/fastboot on your computer. Very simple process. I am running Android P on my Verizon pixel with locked bootloader now.

Yep, I am doing those exact instructions.
I have even re-downloaded the OTA file a few times.
Did you do anything with the actual 1.3GB file or just flash it as it is? Did you rename it, by chance?
It may be some sort of device driver issue, but I also think it may not be, since my device is being recognized just fine within adb commands..

Dup post.

ohhhhh, that is more than likely it! I didn't see "OTA " files before..but i just googled it, and I see they are different file names...downloaded the OTA now, and about to try to install.
before, I just googled "android p pixel xl" and it brought me to this page... https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
but the OTA downloads are on a totally different page at https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html

Thanks for the help with making sure I was downloading the OTA file....What are those factory images for then, if you can't install them with ADB commands?

You can't with a locked bootloader haha. Glad you finally got it working

Enjoy!!

Do you know if you can side load back to an older version or can you only go forward since they are OTA "updates".

Tried side loading old version and no go.

Don't think so on a locked bootloader. Are there any issues in particular with P?

Factory images are installed differently. I don't know if they'll install on a VZW device, I'd think they should because they're "official."

Been using Android P since it came out. It's my daily driver. Works great. Only thing is now my Samsung gear watch won't work because the app isn't updated for new version of Android.

I've tried sideloading Android P but it keeps saying build date to old can not down grade??

If you're already on April security update you'll have to wait for the next preview build since preview 1 has an older timestamp than April patch.

Oh that's annoying. Any idea when that might be/how often they typically release updated builds?

How do you unlock it then?

That's cool and all but personally I'd rather just wait for a new build of P.
