So, I just flashed the latest CyanogenMod nightly. All went according to plan until the phone rebooted. Now I can't boot into anything. Neither the mod nor recovery. When I press "X" and Power to boot into recovery I just get stuck on the triangle screen and when I power up normally I get suck on the "M" logo.
I have no idea how to flash the SBF from here. Thoughts?
Same Problem!
I flashed the latest CM7 from the website. I can get to the standard recovery and to the bootloader, but have no idea how to get my phone back to a working condition. I already flashed the Droid bootstrap recovery, but can't seem to boot to it to install another ROM. Anyone help?
did you try wiping cache and data in android recovery?
edit: if that doesn't work, try
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-global-hacks/184272-bootloop-help-tutorial.html
or the ABD boot to revovery in the FAQs
I did format the Data and Cache with the recovery tool. I ended up following the instructions at the CM7 Wiki to reinstall the factory image, now it's working OK.
I think the reason you were having trouble with the recovery was because its a different method on gingerbread. On froyo you just press the search key and it boots you into recovery, on gingerbread you have to hit both volume keys at the same time. I know this is a mute point to you know but maybe someone else has a similar issue.
no he said
I can get to the standard recovery... I did format the Data and Cache with the recovery too

and that didn't fix it, so he got into recovery ok
First, I searched and read all relevant threads concerning this issue. The five threads that showed up in the search did not help me solve my issue.
So on to my problem. I can no longer flash any rom onto my device. I attempted to flash the first official CM10 nightly (which I recently found out was not flashing properly for others) and had no success. I simply got a black screen and nothing more. I eventually got back into TWRP (v2.2.1.4) to try and Nandroid restore, but I noticed that /data was not formatting and the restore failed. Every time I would slide the bar across to confirm the restore TWRP would reboot itself. I then flashed CWM (v6.0.1.0) and the same problems were there. After that I flashed an earlier version of TWRP and successfully restored the backup. I'm not 100% sure how it was successful. So I decided to try flashing another ROM and no go. Same problems. Anyone have any ideas? When I was using CWM I got the error message below.
Code:
E: unable to locate volume information
E: unable to open ums lunfile '/sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file'
E: unable to format data

I'm having similar, if not identical problems. After flashing TWRP 2.2.1.4, I tried flashing a rom and gapps; the tablet would boot endlessly into recovery. Nothing I did would do anything, so I flashed the stock image to start over. This time, I used CWM 6.0.1.0 touch to make sure that it wasn't the recovery that was causing the problem. However, now after flashing the rom and gapps, instead of booting into recovery, I got stuck at a black screen and had to hold the power button in order to get back to the bootloader.
Now, like you, it seems I can't flash any roms anymore. It's frustrating to say the least.

There is a bug with the Nexus 7 where you cannot access the recovery through the bootloader. To fix this, boot up into the bootloader on your nexus 7 and, without doing anything, plug it into the computer you used for rooting it and then select the option Restart bootloader and press the power button. Once it gets you back into the bootloader again select Recovery mode and press the power button. It will now get you into the recovery and once you're in recovery you can unplug your tablet from the computer. Note that this fix is not permanent and you will have to do this every time you wish to access your recovery via the bootloader (and this problem is not relevant to the OP's problem).

Thank You Very Much!!!
I am having much the same problem as the OP. I finally rooted my Nexus 7 using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. It seemed all went well. I chose to use TWRP in a first attempt to install a ROM (I was on rooted stock), and following the instructions for installing my chosen ROM I went into it to wipe cache, Dalvic Cache and data. Both cache and dalvic cache wiped without issue, but when I attempted to wipe /data TWRP simply reported that it failed. With that failing, I did not attempt to install a rom. I was still able to boot out of recovery, but even with repeated attempts wiping data always failed. Is any one aware of any solution or have any suggestions. Thank you!
I unlocked bootloader and rooted last night fine, this morning i was trying to flash cmod 10.2 through twrp and it said could not find md5 when flashing then it said it was flashed successfully. I did wipe the cache and dalvik and did a factory reset prior to attempting to flash. Yet when i hit reboot it only shows the google logo then the screen goes black and flickers between dark black and black. I know it takes time to boot the first time so i let it sit for 10 mins and nothing. Everything was working fine before this, the device still boots into fastboot mode and and i can get to twrp anything i can try through that ? Or is efants guide the only way to fix this. No Nandroid backup so ya i hate myself :crying:

Couple of things I would try first, re download CM 10.2 just to make sure you don't have a bad download and make sure you downloaded the correct file. Due your normal wipes then reflash. btw I never check the md5 box when flashing with TWRP. As long as you can get into recovery you should able to fix and always make a back up.
Ok i will give your suggestions a try and post back in a bit. Thanks for your help
If it's the CM10.2 nightly from 20130906, it's a known issue with it not booting. Flash an older nightly or another ROM.
I was unaware of the issues with this versioni thanks for that info. I can not push the zip file through adb i says device is offline, is there anyway to push the older cmod version through fastboot and install it with twrp on device ?
I miss having a device with a removable sdcard

Yup use adb sideload in TWRP : adb sideload path to rom/namerom.zip. Link http://teamw.in/ADBSideload.
Thank you for your response, going to follow the steps in the link hopefully i can solve this problem
Thank you all for your kind help and patience i was able to get cmod20130905 to flash through adb sideload and everything is working fine. First thing i did after it booted successfully was go back into twrp and make a backup Thanks again
Hey folks I'm new here and I recently rooted my phone and flashed a z5 rom from the XDA rom thread. Link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/len.../rom-xperia-z5-rom-lenovo-a6000-plus-t3393251
And flashed this nano pack of this gapps Link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
So it all went fine but now I'm incurring some problems.
Firstly I didn't notice that the Gapps is closed for updates I don't know if that affected the issue but the Google play is not working and some other Google stuff as well.
And I thought I'll flash new Gapps which are being kept up to date but my phone won't connect with the PC with the usb now so I don't know how do I flash the Gapps now.
I have re Rooted my phone using the Kingo app but it still won't reconnect.
So any help on these issues would be really helpful!
One last question that if I do find a way to flash the Gapps will I have to reflash the rom again?
Thanks

First dowload the gapps from opengapps.org. Go here choose ARM>>5.1.1>>nano/pico.
Then, boot into recovery, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik and then flash the ROM again and the gapps. All done...!!!

""usin twrp right now"" -- can you boot into it..??
You press vol up + vol down along with power key and release the power key once the lenovo logo shows up, to boot into twrp

no cant boot into it.
I go into the fast boot mode enter recovery commands in the command window. Then try to boot into recovery but it doesn't go into recovery. The Lenovo screen stays there or it boots straight into the phone
This method worked before like I used this way to flash the rom but now its not working.
Any help?

Brother, you have made it really confusing for me. Earlier you said that you can't boot into bootloader, but now you can boot into fastboot..!!
Also, your phone, instead going to recovery, boots directly to system. That means your phone is in working condition(Is it..?), which you didn't told me earlier.
So, if you can boot into system (normal boot). Download Rashr from play store (or from any other source) and flash this TWRP 3.0.2. (First extract this zip and then choose recovery from storage option in Rashr to flash).
Hi guys, been using my rooted but otherwise stock OOS rom with TWRP and Magisk for the past few weeks. Today I decided to take the plunge and try either the Lineage OS or Resurrection Remix roms.
I'm using the latest OFFICIAL TWRP.
So I decrypted following the instructions to flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip", then format data. All went well, so I then sent over the ROMS I wanted to try out. I started with the official ResurrectionRemix. Bootloop. Then the unofficial LineageOS. Bootloop.
Ok, well I guess I'm not gonna get to use any of the cool new OS's for awhile. I'll install the full stock firmware zip so I can have a working phone again. Bootloop.
Now when I say bootloop, the phone is booting to the BootAnimation and just repeating it. It shows the proper boot animation for whatever zip I have installed (resurrection/LOS/OOS), but it stays on there for up to 20 minutes before I have to hard reboot to the recovery again.
I decided to install the stock recovery trying a few methods. I first tried the ALL-IN-ONE tool. It said it flashed the recovery fine, so I booted to the recovery and after staying on a black screen for too long, the language options came up and I sighed a breath of relief. But before I could select English with the volume buttons, it rebooted by itself. It did this again when I manually entered recovery. So I figured maybe the tool flashed the wrong version, so I googled stock recovery for OnePlus 5, I found a few random links for stock recoveries for the OP5 and flashed them, but they more or less do the same thing or not boot at all.
I've tried changing the filesystem for both Data and System using any combinations of EXT4 and F2FS. Everything results in boot animation bootloops.
I have been flashing Roms since the Samsung Galaxy S3 and every phone since and never had any problems.
Currently when trying to install the stock Full OOS official zip with TWRP, the phone won't even go to the boot animation, it only goes to a black screen with the top LED in a light blue color.
I have also tried every version of TWRP there is for the OnePlus 5. Unofficial, Official, 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1.
So I guess my question is....What filesystem is each partition supposed to be on and for which OS?
Lineage based:
System: ?
Data: ?
OOS Based:
System: ?
Data: ?
And any ideas on getting my phone running again?
And anyone have an official confirmed working version of the stock recovery? The one from ALL-IN-ONE TOOL doesn't work for me. It loads the language selection, then the screen goes black with a light blue LED on the top of the phone.
Actually I'm getting that on some roms instead of the bootanimation, like FreedomOOS. What does it mean when you have a black screen and a white LED?
Man, I really thought I was getting somewhere. If I boot into TWRP, change the Data partition to "F2FS", then flash the stock recovery, the stock recovery will boot, however, when inside the stock recovery and I try to flash the stock zip, it says "Flashing, don't turn off your device" for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the list of roms on the SD card, not having flashed anything at all.
Ok, I have the official stock recovery from the OnePlus site, but still can't use it. Here is was happens depending on how I left it with TWRP:
System: F2FS
DATA: F2FS
- Stock recovery will load after some time, freeze, then the screen goes black with white LED on top.
System: EXT4
DATA: F2FS
- Stock recovery loads fine, I can go through the settings and install from SD card, but when I do it says "Flashing, don't turn off your device" for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the list of roms on the SD card, not having flashed anything at all.
System: EXT4
DATA: F2FS
- If I try to flash stock rom through TWRP, it just boot loops on the animation forever.
I have now also tried flashing the stock boot.img, but no difference.
I have 2 things you can try!
First, replace the bootloader with stock and do a factory reset:
1. flash the stock recovery over
2. then in fastboot mode enter, fastboot oem lock (This forces the phone to wipe cache and data, and also do a complete reset)
Did it work? if yes YAY if not go to Second!
Second if your system.img is ****ed up you have to replace it!
Download the newest version of the stock rom from oneplus link here
Unpack it
research how to use an extractor to convert the system.new.dat to system.img
once thats completed enter fastboot mode and flash the new system.img over with Fastboot flash system system.img
now go into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache, and dalvik
Please reply back wether or not this work
"Ihave 2 things you can try! First, replace the bootloader with stock and do a factory reset..."
Is the bootloader simply the boot.img?
After doing the first thing, it simply says that the device is corrupt and will not boot. But it is locked again.
But I will have to unlock it again to do any further flashing.
Hmm, I think I may have gotten it. After unlocking again, flashing the stock recovery and boot.img, then locking again and wiping in the stock recovery, I have finally booted into the stock rom.
I still have no idea what went wrong, and I really want to know, so that in the future I can flash other Roms, like LineageOS.
I mean, I followed the steps exactly.
If it says the device is corrupt it simply means you got something else besides stock rom.
So now unlock it and try the system.img instead
It was because I still had TWRP with the stock rom.
I got it working though, thanks for your help.
Do you have any idea on what might have went wrong when trying to flash the lineageOS based roms and why it got messed up so royally?
Great to hear you fixed it ^_^
Probably some minor bug, if you wanna try installing lineageos again use the 3.1.1 TWRP build that supports backups and do a full backup so you don't have to go thru all this again
---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------
Not really just try again but remember to use TWRP 3.1.1, as 3.1.0 don't support backup and probably have been part of your problem
If your trying again and gets it successfully installed could you do me a favor and test if Drivedroid works on it? And pm me the result, I'm looking for a rom where Drivedroid will work... Haven't found one so far
You know, I did do a backup with the OFFICIAL TWRP, but it also resulted in a bootloop. I made the backup after decrypting, so I don't know why it bootlopped.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-unified-lineageos-7-1-2-t3635483
Is this the one you tried installing?
I tried like every ROM at one point yesterday, but I think I started with
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-7-1-2-t3636578
Did you remember Gapps?
Also in some cases its better not to root before you have the custom rom running, you usually only need a custom bootloader like TWRP
Yeah, I tried with Gapps, and I never rooted before first trying to boot.
As of yesterday Ressurrection remix, released the first official stable build so try again your should'nt have any problems if you follow the guide 100%
Ever find a solution? I'm stuck here now. Can't get any ROM to boot up, they all get stuck on the boot animation
Bump. I am also stuck in this state
