So everything went smoothly after the update but I couldnt get it to factory reset. Kept saying unable to mount. So I tried the repair option on TWRP and that wiped the OS. Now I can't get into recovery only the fastboot function. What can I do?
fastboot boot twrp.img on your PC?
Maybe you are using the wrong one, the inoffical twrp comes in Android P and Q flavour
I have also had the issue where neither started, after shutting down and waiting for a while it worked again
I had same problem totally black dead screen, nothing happens for couple of minutes, I tried all key combinations and it didn't respond. Somehow after a while (like 5 min. ) I tried vol up+down+power button, it took me to fastboot screen. Then I flashed everything back in, downside Lost All data even internal storage.

Current Status of my TF700:
-Boot looping with Asus "Inspiring Innovation - Persisten Perfection" logo. Approximately 5 seconds between reboots, with a vibrate every time it reboots.
-It says "Device is Unlocked" in the top left.
-Holding power for a long time (over 20s) will shut it off, and vibrate, but then it immediately vibrates again and resumes the bootloop.
-I cannot get it into the bootloader with Power + Vol Down. That combination does nothing.
-If I use the pinhole button, as long as I hold it, the screen remains blank. As soon as I release it again, the bootloop resumes immediately.
-It does not get to the second "shiny" Asus logo.
-It doesn't get far enough to recognize a new firmware file on the microSD card.
How I got to this point:
Stock ever since I bought it up until a few days ago. I decided it was time to root, unlock, install TWRP, and install CWM. I never got that far.
1. I unlocked first. I believe it was successful because it has said "Device is Unlocked" ever since.
2. I tried to root with the debugfs method. It reported it was successful, but despite several attempts, it was unsuccessful.
3. I tried using GooManager to install TWRP. It never worked.
4. I discovered that I wasn't running the latest Asus firmware. I then upgraded it. It ran successfully. (V10.6.1.14.10)
5. I tried rooting with Motochopper. It reported success. But it didn't work. I then discovered it wouldn't work with V10.6.1.14.10.
6. I then tried installing TWRP via fastboot. It reported success, but Power+VolDown didn't get me into TWRP. Nothing seemed to load TWRP. In case it's relevant, I was having trouble where Windows was saying there was a problem with the Bootloader Interface Driver, and after several reboots, I was able to get fastboot to reportedly load TWRP. It reported success, but I never saw TWRP.
7. I booted into Recovery, the latest version that said something to the effect of, "USB recovery loaded" or something, with 3 icons: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. This is the only recovery I was ever able to see, by the way. I then selected "Wipe Data" hoping it would give me a new starting point.
Once it rebooted, it has been stuck in this bootloop. Have I royally screwed myself, or is there a way to recover?
Please ask any questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability. In the meantime, I will hope to run the power down on the tablet in the hopes it will make a difference.

Power+VolDown activates the bootloader menu - this is the screen with the 3 icons, where you can use fastboot. Since you needed to go there to install TWRP via fastboot, you should have known that Power+VolDown doesn't get you into TWRP - you'd have to press VolUp in the bootloader menu, to activate RCK.

Selecting "Wipe data" from the bootloader menu with a broken recovery is the best known way to brick a TF700. This can only be recovered via nvflash, which you can't use since you never got far enough to extract the required files from your tablet while it still worked. Your only option now is a new mainboard.
Well, crap. RCK never did anything except show a loading bar then reboot.
Thanks for the reply.

Anyone know of a place that sells 64gb mainboards? Not finding anything thus far...

in case anyone cares, I swapped the motherboard out with one from ebay, and it booted right up.
Hey XDA,
I have a D800 that is totally stock. I have no custom recovery, and have never rooted the device.
A couple days ago I got the notification for an OTA update. I hit the notification, and rebooted the phone. It started the update process. It got through the first step. When it started the second part of the update, a black box popped up, and a code like "ERR 0x04ff" or something like that popped up. The phone rebooted, and got stuck in a boot loop with a "Security Error." The phone will boot up, show the LG logo, then show a slightly different LG logo with "Security Error" underneath it, then reboot and start the process over. I started messing around with the power button and volume keys to see what different modes I could boot it into. Initially I could boot it to the Factory data reset screen, the Hardware Mode Keys screen, and I got it into Download mode once. I didn't have any of the software or files available at the time to do anything with Download mode, so I opted to try a Factory reset. The phone attempted a Factory Reset. The little android with wiggly ears, and the spinny cube thingy popped up for about 4 seconds, and the phone rebooted.
Since trying that initial Factory Reset, I have been unable to get the phone into Download mode. I've tried doing the Factory Reset multiple times to no avail. I have not seen fastboot at all.
At this point, the only thing I can do with the phone is boot it to the Factory Data Reset screen, and to the Hardware Keys Mode screen. It will not do a factory reset. The android pops up for about 1-2 seconds, and the phone reboots, and goes right back to the boot loop with the security error.
I'm at a loss at this point. I've called AT&T, and unfortunately my phone is out of warranty by about 3 weeks. So they can't just mail me a replacement. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't seem to get it to be recognized by my PC, on Windows or Ubuntu. I get the feeling that it's just hard bricked, and there really isn't anything else I can try.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
TL-DR: Totally stock D800, no custom recovery or root. Security Error Boot Loop after OTA attempt. No download mode or fastboot, factory reset is ineffective. Not recognized by PC. What do I do now?

Thanks for the reply. I was about to reply saying my phone wouldn't go into download mode, but then I randomly decided to use a different usb port, and now it went into download mode.
I'll give it a shot now and see what i can do
Ok, It seems I'm back up and running. I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 which re-flashed me to 4.2.2. I'm going to try and upgrade using LG PC Suite from my laptop, and see if I have better luck this time.
Lesson learned, try every USB port when trying to boot into download mode.
Thanks for the help
So I haven't had any luck with my Oneplus One lately . I had rooted the phone and was running the CyanogenMod nightlies for a while, but recently for some reason when I updated it for Nov. 25 I have been suck in a reboot loop where the phone boots up and it starts updating apps, but then it continuously does this cycle of rebooting and updating apps. I have tried to enter recovery mode to try and remedy the situation as I have twrp, but for some reason it doesn't boot to recovery when I press down the power and vol down buttons. I have tried to adb to try and reboot into recovery mode but I haven't been able to get it to work. I'd really appreciate some help on this as I have no idea what to do at this point.
I should also mention that I would like to see if it is possible to recover my data as I foolishly did not make a back up.
Thanks in advance.
So just an update I was finally able to get into recovery mode. I backed up my data with twrp and I tried the method mentioned in the reddit link below.
http://https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/1ly5b1/is_it_possible_to_restore_my_sms_from_a_twrp/
I installed the newest version of nightlies CM 13.0 2015 11/30 along with gapps 6.0, but now my phone just boots up and optimizes apps but when it restarts after that it just goes to a black screen.
I know I can wipe everything through twrp and install cm 13.0 probably eliminating the issues I am having, but I'm reluctant to do so as I would like to retrieve my sms messages. I have taken my photos off my phone so I have that.
If any one can advise me on if I can restore my sms from the twrp back up I have made then I'll wipe my phone and do a clean install.
Thanks in advance
i have the exact same problem. would be nice to have it fixed and working without losing all the data.
So I decided to go ahead and wipe my system as I have all of the data I could get out of my phone on my pc now. I get get cyanogen working nicely, until I go into twrp and try to restore the data files I had backed up. This goes well until the reboot then a message pops up saying something isn't working (too fast too read). I then get a blank screen.
Now I still have the same problem of how to put the data I had saved when I used twrp back on to my phone. I believe something in my data is corrupt which is why this is happening, but I'm not sure. Is there just a way to extract say the sms from the data I have saved, that's really all I need at this point. The backups made by twrp are in a format .WIN that I have never seen before and I would appreciate the help if someone can advise me what to do from here.
CM13.0 struck in Reboot loop
When I was browsing and doing some multitasking stuff..noticed that phone was lagging a bit .So i thought to reboot so that it would come out of that...But it completely struck in reboot loop forever.
please help me out of this issue.
Thanks in advance

Are you pressing the Vol down button and power button. Also I unscrewed the back of the phone to unhook the battery cable then I pressed the buttons. I found also, through trial and error on my phone, that you can hold down the buttons for too long so you have to watch and make sure on that. I found that you should hold the 2 button combo through the oneplus one boot logo and you'll see the lights dim then you let the buttons go and its worked so far at least on my phone.
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.
Hello,
Anyone else having problems after this update? I did it now and my phone does not start anymore. Or at least it hangs in the loading screen with the red and 2 white dots.
I shut it down with power and vol + twice but with no effect. It does not react on the power cable being inserted. When it's powered off and I insert the cable it starts to the loading screen, currently showing 14 %.
How to solve this?
Thank you!
I can boot into recovery or fastboot. Not sure how helpful that is though.
try to format data if you're able to go to recovery. as long you have recovery and fastboot intact, it's basically not ****ed up yet

But how can I save my data? I mean when I'm in recovery I have to enter the password before, so the data gets decrypted. But with USB attached I can only see 5 files on my desktop computer.
I emptied the battery and loaded it fully, then restarted. After a long time it say "This device has entered an unstable state. Please try rebooting your device using the exit button below..." and so on.
I hope a data recovery company isn't the only solution.
Also, is there no way to repair it? Like running the update again or something?
Why is there no „apply update from adb“ option in the recovery menu of OnePlus? Apparently I could have used that to backup all my data from the phone.
I tried wiping the cache partition without success so far.
So did Android squeeze security so much that not even the owner can save his data in this status now anymore? A bit sad when they themself break the phone with an update then.
What about these recovery services that also recover data from harddrives? Do they break the phone when they do their thing?
