Stuck on the 4 colored dots that animate before it' supposed to be displaying the text "android".
Flashed TWRP and everything seemed to be going well. Pushed SuperSU to /sdcard/ and flashed it. Pressed to reboot after flashing and it asked me again to flash SuperSU. I pressed yes and now my phone won't boot.
Did I install SuperSU twice or something? Not entirely sure what that hiccup was.
Edit: Followed this guide (method 2) to try and flash all the stock stuff for my phone, but the cache was a corrupted image file and the recovery doesn't have any menu options so I can't wipe my phone anymore and I still have the bootloop issue. Is my phone done for?
Edit 2: I got a little over dramatic there. Upon trying method 1 in the same guide, it worked flawlessly. I'll be sure to flash TWRP and see if it bootloops again, though.

I'll post my question after some background:
I was on CWM Touch, downloaded and installed the TWRP from google play. Rebooted into recovery, created backups to internal and external, and flashed SkyICS 4.2f6 by Seanz. I followed OP instructions on how to flash. Did not have any problems and it was very easy to use.
Used TWRP and flashed several MODS and ROM updates without any hitch. All I did was reboot into recovery selected the zip files and swipe to install, did not even had to wipe cache or anything. I am not sure if this is the correct way but I was able to do so without any problems.
I wanted to install the same rom but to do a clean wipe since the rom had several updates. So, I rebooted into TWRP recovery, did OP flashing instructions which were:
-reboot into team win recovery
-wipe system
-factory data reset
-then go to mounts and choose external sd
-no go back and find the rom by choosing install zip
-swipe to confirm
-then install the radio you downloaded
and when complete reboot phone
-at this point everything will be settling and caching
which may or may not seem laggy.... and yes that white line is normal
its a battery representation mod
-im sure youll be eager to update busybox immediatly but let me tell you no
first open super user app.. find preferences and update user binary
hit it twice giving it root permissions
now .. is when to update busy box through the provided installer
-after you have done this
-power down phone
reboot into recovery and flash the latest update
and email package only
However, I was not able to reboot into recovery. I have a Samsung Skyrocket but was not able to put the phone into recovery mode by pressing and holding the power, volume up, and volume down buttons. The phone kept vibrating but the Samsung screen wont come up. Frustrated, I rebooted the phone, downloaded CWM, updated to Touch and proceeded to flash using CWM with no problems.
At this point i'm hesitant on using TWRP. I am not even sure if ODIN supports it. I'm afraid that if i'm on TWRP and brick my phone, I will not be able to use ODIN.
Questions:
Has anyone encounter the same problem?
Is TWRP compatible with ODIN?
Can anyone using Samsung Skyrocket confirm the recovery steps used above is correct?
Thank you for your help.
i am currently using twrp and ive had no problems flashing roms including sky ics which those directions are from also a recovery isnt compatible with odin if you want to odin back to stock or flash anew recovery image you just go into download mode and procedd from there

To reboot into recovery you hold power, volume up and down and when you see the first samsung logo let go of the power or it will keep rebooting.
As for being compatible with odin, I'm not sure what you mean. You can flash TWRP through odin, you can get into download mode with twrp installed also.
Have you tried reinstalling TWRP?
Hi guys, not sure if I'm in the right thread (please move me if not admins)
I was running superman on my s7, I decided to clean out my phone by flashing stock firmware and then reflash a custom rom.
The stock flash went well as expected, checked oem unlock and USB debugging then I flashed twrp 3.1.1
My phone was then stuck on the 3 logo (I flashed h3g csc while stock flashing) for 15 minutes
So out of lack of patience, I rebooted my phone, now it's stuck on a boot loop splashing the Samsung boot image then resetting with a vibrate and this is constant.
I managed to open twrp on the phone and thought a wipe might be in order, did that and FAILED, without me rebooting it rebooted itself.
Then I tried to reflash stock firmware in Odin, again that failed.
Still stuck in a boot loop.
I know I've screwed up but any advice would be grand.
Thanks guys :good:
right, fixed the issue.
went into twrp, wiped the system by typing 'yes'
wipe dalvik, data and system.
rebooted into download via twrp and flashed stock rom again
works fine
all because i didn't uncheck auto reboot in odin when flashing twrp..... D'oh! :silly:
i iz idiot

I am somewhat confused with your writing, or you write the wrong information.
1. Wiped system in twrp as long as I know do not need to write "yes".
2. Twrp is not download mode, it is recovery mode
#Btw, this should not be in this section
Best regards,
Quick one for you, if you ever can't get to twrp after bootlooping. Press and hold power+home+vol up. Let phone reboot but keep holding buttons till it reboots a second time and then you will get download mode.
tHIS IS RIGHT SECTION FOR QUESTIONS AND DIALOGUES ABOUT s7, so proceed pls.
everything was working fine for almost a year. twrp, magisk, everything was working as intended. decided to update to the july stable build (walleye-pq3a.190705.001) and decided id like a fresh start. ok cool, easy enough, just boot into the bootloader/fastboot mode and use the flash-all script, done. flash TWRP 3.3.0 using "TOOL ALL IN ONE". installs fine, reboots fine, cool. reboot to recovery to install the magisk 19.3 zip. wait what? password not accepted? it works in system, and is the same password i always use for the phone (i just use one to prevent butt dialing). ok fine whatever lets just reboot and completely remove all security for now, and figure that one out later. reboot into twrp, no password this time. excellent. lets flash this zip (same zip that i downloaded directly from magisk manager before starting any of this, also tried an old copy that i used to root the first time). everything looked like it was fine, so i rebooted to system. waited about 3 - 5 minutes, and it rebooted to recovery. hmm, odd, maybe just a bad cache or something. rebooted again. same thing, kicked back to recovery. ok, lets do dalvik/cache. nope, same problem. redid flash-all, and manually installed TWRP using fastboot to boot an img, push the twrp installer zip, flash that. same problems. changed slots, flash-, manual twrp flash, same problem. factory reset, repeat flashing, same problem. format system and data partition to get rid of everything, reflash, same problem. theres other stuff that ive tried that i dont remember too.
EDIT: also tried restoring an old TWRP backup from feb. and got the yellow auth error on the bootloader
where i currently sit is i can get a factory image on there and can get twrp on there, and even flashed lineage just for ****s and giggles, and that even worked (esim manager kept crashing, didnt test much else, but it booted and was functional for what little i tested).
TLDR: twrp wont accept pin, and when i disable the pin and flash magisk i can no longer boot even though these are the same files that have been on my E drive since the day i got it, which worked fine back then. it almost feels like theres some kind of corruption somewhere.
I have made an OTA update yesterday to my rooted phone by following the usual steps installing magisk to inactive slot etc.. The only difference from other updates I did before this one was from android 10 to android 11. The phone worked fine, until today I wanted to check if TWRP is working and as soon I booted to it now I can't get out. It keeps flashing the twrp loading screen on and off. When I connect my phone to my PC it shows up in ADB in recovery mode when I try "adb reboot" it still boot to recovery when I do "adb reboot bootloader" it goes to fastboot, but no matter what I try I cant boot to the phone system.
UPDATE: I tried to use the patch and method from this post https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/rooted-oxygenos-11-on-my-oneplus-7-pro.1408175/#post-22986849 by Raven6681 then my phone went to stock recovery and I used wipe cache then my phone rebooted and only show a black screen. Then realized it keeps rebooting then black screen then reboot etc..
UPDATE 2: I tried to follow the previous step but now the phone didn't go to the recovery options as before and seems to be only in black screen. Tried to load in recovery and managed to then I used reset phone settings, but still nothing.
UPDATE 3: I tried to use the unpatched boot image from the first update as maybe some of the magisk modules are causing this issue, I tried clear cache and reset system settings and still nothing changed.
Probably an encryption issue. As twrp doesn't support encryption in A11. I don't know what's causing the black screen. The best way out is using msmdownload tool, I believe.

in that case reflash twrp,root and the os you were using(in the order you did it the first time and, when you get your next ota update
extract it and edit to remove code which makes it look for stock recovery
select all the decompressed files and compress to ota zip file again
then in update area choose local update and use the file you just edited
For the last couple years I've been following this process to retain root using the TWRP A/B Retention Script and installing Magisk to the inactive slot after OTA and everything been fine and dandy. However, after the last time I performed this process Magisk would immediately crash when I tried to launch its app. Upon investigating I noticed that the file it downloaded for flashing was suspiciously small, so I suspect it flashed a corrupted file. I had already successfully rebooted my phone several times after the OTA, so I figured it was just Magisk that got corrupted and TWRP must be fine. I recently tried to reboot into recovery and discovered that TWRP is broken too. My phone briefly flashes the TWRP logo before the screen goes black and it tries to reboot into recovery again.
I've been able to get into fastboot by simultaneously holding down the power button and both volume buttons. However, none of the options in fastboot actually get my anywhere. Choosing start, recovery mode, or power off just get me back into the TWRP bootloop, and restart bootloader obviously just keeps me in fastboot.
I assume I need to reflash TWRP and Magisk, but I'm not sure how to go about that. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
This is how I proceeded:
Downloaded the latest TWRP image (twrp-3.6.2_11-0-guacamole.img) from here: https://dl.twrp.me/guacamole/
Verified the md5sum to ensure the download wasn't corrupted.
fastboot boot twrp-3.6.2_11-0-guacamole.img
In TWRP, Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
Now I have a working recovery, but I still can't boot into my system. When I go to Reboot > System in TWRP it just boots back into recovery.
I enabled MTP in TWRP and copied off all the data I cared about, then used the "Flash Factory Images" option in the TOOL ALL IN ONE to flash 9.5.13-GM21AA-OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.O.16_OTA_016_all_1908281716_b2bb5-FASTBOOT.zip. I tried it without checking the box to erase everything, hoping I could keep my data, but that didn't work. With that box checked though I was able to boot again, but I cannot turn on WiFi for some reason. I'm hoping the OTA will fix that issue. Does anyone know how to get WiFi working again or why it may have stopped working?

Fortunately enough the first OTA did indeed solve the WiFi issue. Now I've applied all of the OTAs and finally have my phone in a proper working state again.
