Hi,
i just wanted to flash the Dirty Unicorns ROM after I installed CM12S. I installed TWRP, unlocked the bootloader and then wiped system, dalvik, cache and data. Flashed DirtyUnicorns 9.5 official and GApps but when I tried to restart I was stuck at bootloop. And now I can not even push the CM12S zip file via ADB push in recovery. It just doesn't recognize my phone in ADB devices. I can get into fastboot and it does recognize my phone.
I suppose it's because USB Debugging turned itself off... Is there a way to enable it from recovery or fastboot?
PLEASE, what can I do to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much for a swift and fast replies.
You can't enable adb via recovery, it needs to have been done previously in the OS. Use fastboot to flash the stock images, see section 8 of my guide:

This will at least get your phone booting again. Just don't flash the userdata image or you'll wipe your storage.
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping you can help me. I've had a OnePlus One since August 2014, completely stock. Never modded it, never 'flashed' anything, never installed anything outside of the Google Play Store. Always installed the official OTA updates as they pop up on the phone itself. Basically a reeeeealllly boring android user!
So Thursday morning (09/06/2016) I got a notification that a system update was downloaded and ready to install. Clicked install, the process began, phone rebooted as per usual. However, on the install progress screen (the green android with the spinning cogs), about one third of the way through the phone freezes. About 20 seconds later the phone reboots itself and then tries to install the update again. Freezes. Reboots. Tries to install. Freezes. Reboots. Tries to install.... I think you get the idea. It was doing this for a couple of hours before I checked it.
I'm moderately tech-savvy but never really got involved with android modding, rooting or flashing. So I'm a bit confused as to why my completely stock phone is stuck in a bootloop after installing an official CyanogenMod OTA update. The current status of my phone is that I can only boot into Fastboot mode via VolUp + Power. I can get my computer to detect my phone in Fastboot mode, however it informs me that my bootloader is locked. Attempting to boot into recovery mode via VolDown + Power just starts the update install and enters the bootloop.
I've done some research in to flashing a recovery image or manually applying the OTA update. One problem I've noticed is that I have absolutely NO idea what version of Android / CM my device was at before the update, and I have NO idea what version it was trying to update to. I do know that it was some version of Marshmallow before it broke. I've had no issues with the phone before this, aside the occasional self-reboot.
I REALLY want to keep all my data (pictures, contacts etc.) and am very nervous about actually doing anything because I have very little idea as to what I'm really doing.
Can anyone offer any advice on how to get my phone to boot/update/recover through Fastboot with a locked bootloader and without losing any data?
Thanks,

Edit: I solved my issue. It might work for you too, permalink to my post (#9) below: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67278091&postcount=9
Are you able to get into recovery mode? If so, you should be able to just flash a new ROM. Sideload one using the adb push command, wipe your data (this will clear settings, apps, etc. DO NOT SELECT SD CARD - that will wipe your personal files including your photos). Then install. Hopefully it should all work fine.
If you can't access the recovery can you access the bootloader sceen (the one with the big green bugdroid)? Then I'd suggest using Fastboot to install a new recovery. Then try the above.
If you can't even get to that stage you're screwed, just like me (unless anyone has any ideas). I've had soft bricks many times before but today I can't even get to the bootloader screen. ADB says the phone is offline. The screen is back and flickers on for a split second every now and then. Bloody CM Updater.
As IBM9001 has said, if you can get into recovery - even being stock - you can still clear your cache - don't do a full factory reset, just the cache, this may help, but even if it doesn't it still rules out one option.
I can't access recovery mode, using the key combo it just boots straight into the installer.
I've got a support ticket open with OnePlus and a scheduled remote assistance tomorrow. However from the preparational email it looks like they are going to factory reset the phone and then clean install CM. They've instructed me to make sure that all my files are backed up... I assume this means I will lose them.
Is there ANY way just to access or pull the photos off my phone? That's the most important bit. Dropbox hit its storage limit at the beginning of 2015 and I refused to pay, so now I have 18 months worth of pictures that I have no other copies of on death row
The only thing I can access is Fastboot...

I can boot into Fastboot mode, and plugging my phone into my PC works i.e. it is recognised. I have the fastboot .exe and USB drivers, and can issue commands to my phone through cmd such as
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
which works.
How do I use a recovery .img through Fastboot? or can I pull the contents of the sd card through Fastboot?
Hey mate i had same problem with my friends phone. But in that case i was able to open recovery mode.. So if you can do that just download any full zip of opo.. Like cm12.1 or cm13. Then flash it without clearing data.. So will not loose amything not even a single application..
I did that by using adb sideload just google it how to use it. And for that download full android sdk toollit and then download only fastboot and adb domt download whole studio. Because somete old version of adb and minifastboot will not work on adb sideload... So good luck with that..
Hi guys,
I have the same issue!
If I flash a new recovery from fast boot will I lose my data on sdcard?
Thanks.

I'm currently having a very similar issue, but my phone completed the update. It's just stuck in a reboot/"optimizing apps" loop. I can boot into recovery and I tried to clear cache, but It's still just optimizing apps then rebooting and optimizing again over and over. Do you think your suggestion would help me too?
Wooooo, I've fixed it! I don't know why what I did fixed the issue (probably bypassed something) but my phone is up and running again! First thing I'm doing is making a freakin' backup!
So I was just trying everything in desperation. So that others can attempt to fix the same problem, here's what I did:
1. State of phone was either boots normally and crashes when installing update, or boots into fastboot. Would NOT boot into recovery!
2. Booted into fastboot using key combo (hold Volume Up, then Power Button)
3. Attached phone to computer via data usb lead
4. Started up cmd console, used command "fastboot devices" to check that device was recognised (note you need the fastboot files and USB drivers etc., Google it if you're not sure)
5. Used command "fastboot continue" to continue with 'autoboot'. This rebooted my phone but skipped the installer and went to the 'optimising apps' stage. Left phone alone for a couple of hours but it got stuck in another bootloop optimising apps, rebooting, optimising apps and so on.
6. Turned phone off, then booted normally with just the power button. This started the update install again except it didn't crash, and completed the update install. Then it optimised the apps again (albeit with a different total app count) and once finished, phone starts up normally.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Happy to have my phone back. Now to go through the half-dozen or so voicemails I've collected over these last few days... great.
Hi guys,
@stormin, congrats!
@masterjigar, so you didn't lose the data like photos etc. doing so?
I can boot to recovery, but can't connect by PC to it.
In fast boot mode my PC sees it as well as in dab sideload mode.
I haven't the boot loader unlocked then I have to do it first, right?
But cyanogen site says that unlocking the boot loader will wipe all the device data.
Is there any way get the photos and other files back?
Thanks.
From the FAQ:
Q4a: Can I flash ROMs or SuperSU or anything else with the stock recovery?
No, the stock recovery can only flash zips that are signed by CM, this means official updates only. You need a custom recovery to flash anything else.

Does it mean I can flash an official CM firmware without unlocking the boot loader?
Thanks.

That's what adb sideload is all about. It will give you temporary adb access (which is always after unlocking bootloader and root). So you can also flash xip via sideload. Without losing data and media..
Same problem, Also PC not detecting my phone
Hey Guys, I am Stuck at the same thing at Bootloop. But to do anything further I need to connect my phone to the PC. I haven't been able to connect my phone to PC since the time I have got the phone. I tried all available drivers and even tried different cables. I dont know what has been left out to try.
If any one has a working driver pls share the link. Its been three days now that my phone is dead.
Pls help!!
Thanks in advance.

You can't adb sideload .img or a partition.
You have to use fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_img_name.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot boot_img_name.img

Yes but then I have to unlock my bootloader first. And unlocking bootloader erase all the user files....
Is there other way to to run cm-13.1-ZNH2KAS1KN-bacon-boot-debuggable-b19ebe021f.img on the devise?
Hi,
Yesterday my WileyFox Spark+ came in, which is still equipped with COS13.0.1, based on Android 6.0.1.
When I tried rooting the phone, I got stuck at the point of using TWRP for flashing SuperSU.zip.
Until then, I had succesfully followed the following process:
-Enabled 'OEM Bootloader allowed to be unlocked' in Developer Options
-Installed USB drivers and such on PC
-Enabled USB debugging, apps from unknown sources, ADB install unsigned apps allowed etc.
-Unlocked bootloader like this in CMD:
fastboot devices (my phone showed up)
fastboot flashing unlock
I pressed volume up button (yes)
I selected boot mode fastboot
-Flashed TWRP Recovery to phone like this in CMD:
fastboot flash recovery twrp3100.img
-I booted into TWRP recovery
A lot of folders and some files were present there, but almost all folders were 'empty'. I couldn't reach my SC-Card with SuperSU.zip on it.
TWRP even said no OS was installed when I wanted to reboot to retry.
I was confused for a while, only to discover the OS was still there after booting into System.
I tried to flash SuperSU from ADB, but that also didn't work. I issued the following commands in CMD:
adb reboot recovery
(ticked adb sideload in TWRP +wipe dalvik & cache)
adb sideload supersu279.zip
TWRP said it executed succesfully, but failed to access /data and /cache.
It was at this point that I discovered the phone was encrypted already from the box. I had never considered this as an option.
It's weird though, because I have heard that flashing SuperSU from ADB should work even with an encrypted phone.
Now the interwebs and WileyFox themselves say Encryption is disabled when you factory reset the phone. So I did that, but it just booted into TWRP with the same circumstances.
Few folders, almost all empty. SD-card not visible.
I tried sideloading SuperSU again, but without result.
Any idea how i should progress further? 'Cause I have run out of ideas..
Is it possible to flash SuperSU via fastboot or anything?
I have found a LineageOS 13 ROM for my phone, but it's a .zip so I don't think I can use it.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers.
NB: I don't care about encryption, i'd rather have it gone, but whatever option is best for rooting this thing will work fine for me.
Hey guys, in a little bit of a dilemma.
My s6, for some reason, cannot pass the flashing "Samsung" logo when booting it up. I have not rooted this phone, nor have I installed a custom recovery or rom. This phone is stock as it gets.
And I need to recover the photos off the phone. Issue is, I thought it would be simple as going into recovery mode and doing adb pull/sdcard/DCIM/Camera or something like that.
BUT I do not have USB debugging enabled!!! Never even turned on developer settings.
I tried to get into bootloader and use fastboot, but fastboot devices shows up with nothing. adb commands do not work, except when I press "install update from ADB", then only the very basic ADB commands work such as adb reboot, adb sideload etc.
So I am not sure what to do from here. Fastboot is not working (I have installed the Samsung drivers from the official webpage, but I haven't restarted my computer so i will try that).
Please help me to recover these photos :crying::crying::crying:
Hi,
If Download mode is working, flash TWRP recovery with Odin.
Go to Mount, select Data partition > Enable MTP and access files from PC.
Recover your data, then flash fresh new ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-tutorial-howto-samsung-galaxy-s6-t4108425
Hi guys Zeph here.
I've just rooted my Redmi Note 4 without any problems. I've tried to install several custom ROMs like HAVOC, Pixel, etc using TWRP but it showed some error I don't know. My backup ROM did not install so I've tried to install Global Stable ROMS from Internet but those were shown as corrupt. I've also tried using fastboot, ADB sideloader but same problems are happening. So basically my phone is just a hollow without any OS. Any solutions please because that is my only phone.
Here are some screenshots..
Can you boot up normally?
If not what happens, when you try?

Sorry when the backup ROM didn't get installed I had completely wiped all data for sake of installing Global custom ROMs. But it still didn't get installed. So my phone is like DOS without any OS.
Oh. Well thats a problem.
First of all:
Go to https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1700309
dowload the rom (its a zip) and transfer it to your phone
go to twrp
flash it with twrp
reboot to system
Now if (while booting up) it says "The system has been destroyed":
Just keep booting in twrp, back to system, back to fastboot and repeat for some time and multiple times a day. For some reason thats how you call the autorepair to wake up, it will remove the ROM you just installed and probably install a backup one on its own
If this doesnt work too:
I will suppose you have a pc with fastboot & adb drivers available
Since the phone is alr in deep s***, lets try something quite risky
1)
go to twrp > wipe > format data
2)
connect your phone to pc while in fastboot
and execute these commands
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cust
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase vendor
CAREFUL: NOW YOUR PHONE IS BRICKED, BUT FIXABLE (probably)
3)
repeat the steps on the top of this message
All this should fix the problem, if not i am sorry but the phone will be unrepairable without any professional technician
