Hi,
The N4 of my wife has big problem.
I wiped in "custom recovery" (TWRP) some stuff for return all in factory settings (this was stupid, I know)
Now, when she reboots on recovery, there is a message "No OS installed !"
How fix this, please ?
Edit: I tried with a toolkit, everything seems good, but when I boot, I have only the google screen.
Edit 2: I send with adb: image-occam-jdq39.zip, but when it failed when I try to install it.
Thanks.

^^ negroplasty has given you the link to download the latest factory image. You can flash that to your phone no problem as long as you can boot into the bootloader (from off state, hold power + vol down)
Connect phone to pc, go to bootloader
Throw the image you want to flash to the same folder where your adb tools are
Open terminal, change directory to that folder
Then write: ./adb push EXACTNAMEOFROM.zip /sdcard/
Example of me trying to adb push Xylon
Then go to "Install" on your phone, sdcard, select the image, swipe to flash and that's it, hope this clears it.
Hello,
I saw that the OTA update to Lollipop was available on my phone today, so I went ahead and let it download. Upon completion of the download, it restarted and applied patches, then restarted again and has been stuck in boot loop for about an hour. After reading several other threads on how to try to reset the phone, I'm stuck. When I try power + volume up or down, the LED status indicator flashes red and I never get to any kind of other screen. Am I completely screwed? I previously had stock 4.4.2 with no modifications.
Finally was able to get to the bootloader menu. Apparently having the phone plugged into the charger was preventing me from getting there for some reason. I ended up having to wipe the phone to get it to boot
so you can get into clock recovery right? download nexus 4 toolkit..that might save your phone. I suggest you to unroot and flash everything to stock and then unlock again and start everything from scratch. good luck.
Similar issue on an OTA upgrade to an unrooted N4. It's stuck on the Lollipol boot screen with the rotating Circle thingies.
I can get to the Android System Recovery but there's no CWM or TWRP on my N4. I'm guessing a factory reset will fix it but is there a way to preserve my pics/files on the phone before doing so?

I guess TWRP Recovery has option to enable MTP and you can access the internal SD card by connecting mobile with computer using usb cable.

Flash TWRP Recovery using fastboot.
1. If you have otg y cable, connect it and use file manager to copy all the files.
2. OTG method is failed then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your Nexus 4 to your computer and Enable MTP in TWRP. now you can use adb pull and push commands.
I ended up going the factory reset route, which wasn't really a bad thing. My photos had been backed up in dropbox and the play store remembered all the apps and were able to reload them. The only things I really had to do was reload some music onto the phone and re-enter passwords for apps.
Same story here: sideloaded the OTA zip file, then had bootloop. Tried a few approaches, but none worked. In the end only wiping the data was the solution for me. Lost some userdata in a few important Apps...
I went through this yesterday. The only way to get it to boot is a Factory Reset from Recovery. It works like magic, but sucks you lose the data.
Got the OTA yesterday and also got a bootloop(stuck in boot screen animation). I couldnt afford losing my photos/videos as i had no backup , so i figured out a super easy to get it to boot without wiping data .
I was unrooted with stock recovery running stock 4.4.2, bootloader was unlocked. I flashed CWM recovery through fastboot and wiped chache+ Dalvik from there then simply rebooted the phone .
I had already tried wiping cache from the stock Android recovery,needless to say that didnt work for me.
If anyone else is having the same problem please try the method above and report back, cheers!
I post this on Google Product Forum 2 days ago. Hope it helps

(updated 29/11/2014)[not perfect but it is a SOLUTION]
The idea of this is to downgrade your nexus 4 without wiping your data, which means stuff you will need includes:
1. adb and fastboot on your computer (I am using mac but you can find it on windows as well. There are tones of website and forums telling you the latest method of getting it onto your computer)
2. factory image of nexus 4(I use 4.4.4, since that's what it was. I don't have the time and energy to try to do the same thing with lollipop. you can try can leave a comment).
update: do NOT try to flash 5.0 rom using this method. You will be stuck at boot loop again
3. usb cable
4. nexus 4 with unlocked bootloader(the process of unlocking bootloader will wipe your device)
5. computer
steps
1. unzip the factory image (something.tgz)
2. for me, after unzipping the .tgz, I still find another .zip inside. unzip that too.
3. hold vol+, vol-, and power button simultaneously to enter fastboot mode
4. open terminal(mac)(it would probably be cmd for windows)
5. connect your nexus 4(in fastboot)
6. to make sure it connect successfully, type "fastboot devices". if something like "005040c0d54bb291 fastboot" appears, you are good. Otherwise, try reconnect your device/boot to fastboot again/use another usb cable
7.now we need to tell the terminal to navigate to the location of the unzipped factory image. to do that, i suggest you put the unzipped folder to somewhere easy to find, like desktop. these are some commands to help you navigate:
"ls" allows you to look at whats inside the current directory of the terminal. For example, this is the output after typing "ls" for me:
some folder Photos
nexus4image.tgz how many folders do you have
5.zip occam-ktu84p
more folder occam-ktu84p.zip
after knowing where you are, use "cd" (below) to go to your folder
"cd" means change directory. For example. "cd Photos" will brings me to the "Photos" folder. And then if I type ls, I will see a whole bunch of photos in my photos. If you go to the wrong folder, type "cd ..", and it will bring you back to the previous folder.
8. flash bootloader.
enter the following command, BUT REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME TO FIT YOURS(DIFFERENT VERSIONS HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME AT THE END(type ls first to help you type the correct name)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30d.img
9. reboot bootloader. just copy and paste
fastboot reboot-bootloader
10. flash radio
enter the following command, BUT REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME TO FIT YOURS(DIFFERENT VERSIONS HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME AT THE END(type ls first to help you type the correct name)
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.03.img
11. reboot bootloader. just copy and paste
fastboot reboot-bootloader
12. flash system
system.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate. This steps takes the longest time, total time on this step is 87 seconds while the others are less then 1 second
fastboot flash system system.img
13. flash boot
boot.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
14. flash recovery
fastboot.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
15. format cache(not the memory, so everything should be fine)
fastboot format cache
16. reboot and wait
this will reboot your device. You probably have to wait for a while to initialise all the apps. after than you are good to go!
fastboot reboot

Hi guys!
This is my first time on this website and I'm here because I need the help of you!
Yeah, I do have a Nexus 7 (2012), it was on 4.4.4 root. Of course, like an idiot, when I saw the OTA of Lollipop, I download it and install it right away. Of course, I didn't unroot before...
So yeah, actually, I'm stuck in a loop between the tablet rebooting and the "No command" section (I guess it's name recovery)
All this was yesterday. That night, I tried everything I could try from my expertise. I've used the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock + unroot but with no succes. The main problem is that the only way for my N7 to be recognize by my computer is by "Apply update from ADB" (Sideload from recovery). So my driver aren't good for beeing use with the NRTK and I can't do anything... Then, I can't fastboot or anything, if I try something, It keep rebooting up.
So I hope I've been enough clear. (I'm french so )
Please, take the time to help me! This N7 is very important for me!
Sincerely,
Gabriel
I tried the OTA update on modified stock android, and it failed locking me out, it would boot loop 3 times, then go to the 'No command' - you need to hold all three buttons, power and both the volumes when it's turned off, then it should boot into fastboot with recovery options. If you are stuck on 'no command' - if you hold power and volume up you'll get some options including reboot.
So from fastboot, I didn't do anything here because recovery didn't work for me, but if you are in fastboot, I connected it to my PC and opened nexus toolkit - I had no ADB access but fastboot was available, so I had to flash individual images using that software. So I downloaded the IMG files for android 5 for the nexus 2012 manually, its a tgz archive, extracted it and there was another tgz archive inside which had the individual files I needed to flash. Boot.IMG and system.IMG are the main ones.
In nexus toolkit I went to Advanced and in the first column near the top I clicked Fastboot, then in the next column at the top, I clicked the permanent option, and below that in the middle column it lists all the android flashable files, boot, recovery, system, user data. These will match your files in the archive that was inside of the IMG archive you downloaded from google, boot.IMG, recovery.IMG, system.IMG, user data.IMG. I only needed to do flsash boot and system, recovery didn't work as it said it needed ADB access, and I didn't do user data as I don't think it was important and it wasn't necessary.
I naturally flashed boot.IMG first, then I had to flash the system.IMG twice as it didn't seem to do anything the first time. The second time it took 2-3 minutes then rebooted, and started booting into Android 5, the first boot will take 10 minutes.
[INFO] How to sideload 5.1.1 (LYZ28E), & maintain no encryption - no wipe required
Simplified procedures with LMY47M / LYZ28E now available as a factory image.
Hopefully this isn't blatantly obvious to everyone, it is a little different than the normal sideload procedure. Thought it might be useful to some who want to load 5.1.1 (and get Wifi calling with T-Mobile!) and not be forced to encrypt.
Requirements:
1. I'm assuming you have adb/fastboot working on your computer / connecting to your device and you understand a little bit about using adb / fastboot with an android phone.
2. Your phone cannot be encrypted, if you're encrypted already - this will not un-encrypt your data - you need to turn off forced encryption and format the "userdata" partition to disable the encryption.
3. You need to have an unlocked bootloader for this to work of course.
How to follow this procedure:
1. If you're on LMY47M (T-Mobile) and unencrypted, you can follow option 2, starting with Step 3 - only a small ~150MB download required.
2. If you're on anything other than LMY47M, you should use option 1 unless you have a desire to flash LMY47M and sideload LYZ28E.
I didn't do much here - except spent a bunch of time writing the procedure.

- TeamWin - the TWRP Developer ( https://twrp.me/ )
——————————————————————————————————
OPTION 1 - Easy Method - Flash the LYZ28E factory image directly:
1. Download hlxanthus's NO FORCE ENCRYPT mod and put it onto your phone so you can flash it later (in /storage/sdcard0) - https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...u/misc/NO_FORCE_ENCRYPT_shamu_v1.0-signed.zip
2. Download LYZ28E for Nexus 6 ( https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-lyz28e-factory-b542b88a.tgz ) and extract the files, there is a zip file you want to extract that too.
Boot to the bootloader ("adb reboot bootloader") and fastboot flash the boot, cache, recovery, radio and system:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (OPTIONAL - If you have TWRP or another alternative recovery you can skip this step)
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-<variable>.img
fastboot flash system system.img
3. Restart the Bootloader, and flash TWRP, found here: ( https://twrp.me/devices/motorolanexus6.html )
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img
4. Restart the Bootloader again and then go to Recovery (TWRP). Now flash NO_FORCE_ENCRYPT_shamu_v1.0-signed.zip through TWRP, and flash SuperSU if you want root and whatever other zips you want to flash (Xposed, etc)
After flashing the NO FORCE ENCRYPT mod, reboot and you should be running 5.1.1 with all of your data and with your userdata partition intact and unencrypted!
———————————————————————————————————————————————————
OPTION 2 - SIDELOAD Method (Makes sense if you’re already on LMY47M):
1. Download hlxanthus's NO FORCE ENCRYPT mod and put it onto your phone so you can flash it later (in /storage/sdcard0) - https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...u/misc/NO_FORCE_ENCRYPT_shamu_v1.0-signed.zip
2. Follow the normal procedure, if you're already on LMY47M you can skip to step 3. Download LMY47M for Nexus 6 ( https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-lmy47m-factory-5228e84a.tgz ) and extract the files, there is a zip file you want to extract that too.
Boot to the bootloader ("adb reboot bootloader") and fastboot flash the boot, cache, recovery, radio and system:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-<variable>.img
fastboot flash system system.img
3. Now flash TWRP, found here: ( https://twrp.me/devices/motorolanexus6.html )
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img
4. Restart the bootloader, and enter recovery mode (TWRP). Once in TWRP, go to Advanced -> ADB Sideload. You may need to unplug/plug in the USB cable to your computer again.
Download my version of LYZ28E from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609905
Note: I modified this version to work with TWRP, it will not work with the stock recovery (because I modified it, the signature on the file is now invalid). The only thing I changed was I edited the updater-script to remove the release keys check which seems to fail on the stock recovery and doesn't work right with TWRP).
Code:
adb sideload f69096766706fab3c721163f02aad9073a989d00.unsigned-shamu-LYZ28E-from-LMY47M-fullradio-fix-superblock-use-TWRP.zip
5. After it finishes, do not reboot yet. Go back and I recommend rebooting to recovery again. Now flash NO_FORCE_ENCRYPT_shamu_v1.0-signed.zip through TWRP, and flash SuperSU if you want root and whatever other zips you want to flash (Xposed, etc)
After flashing the NO FORCE ENCRYPT mod, reboot and you should be running 5.1.1 with all of your data and with your userdata partition intact and unencrypted!
why would you think that you have to be encrypted to push anything to recovery??? plus sideload is only one method to do it, the other is adb push. and if you use twrp recovery, you don't need any of those method's, as you can just move files over to twrp via your usb.

Sorry if I gave the impression you need to be encrypted to push to recovery, that wasn't my intent. Where did I give that impression? I can try to fix it in my original post. At no point in this procedure will your phone be encrypted - there will be times that the kernel will have the force encryption option turned ON in the fstab but you never will boot the phone when that is the case (like right after LRX22C is loaded, after LYM47M is sideloaded, and after you flash the stock boot.img for LYM47M - but you are not booting in any of these cases - not before you install a no forced encryption kernel)
adb push requires the phone is booted right? I wasn't able to get adb push to work in recovery.
I also didn't know TWRP allowed you to copy data over to your phone via USB, I know CWM recovery can do it - but that was a feature missing from TWRP - maybe they added it, I didn't check. You can do an adb push with TWRP, but what in my procedure would you change to use the adb push method in TWRP versus whatever I put in there? The only thing I can think of is asking you to put the mod file on the phone in the beginning.

"So I just figured out how to sideload LYZ28E on my Nexus 6 without enabling forced encryption. "
actually adb push is very easy.. boot unto recovery, type adb push filename.zip, then it pushes to your phone and is listed in the main storage filesystem. id say its nearly identical to adb sideload.

Sorry maybe that first sentence is poorly worded. What I meant was, I figured out how to get LYZ28E onto my phone and disable the forced encryption on the OS too. The process wasn't as straightforward because the 2nd sideload wouldn't work correctly without booting into the OS first. After that, I couldn't get the LYZ28E image to sideload on stock recovery or TWRP without errors - but I was able to modify the LYZ28E OTA file so it would load with TWRP, and then I was able to load the no encrypt mod and supersu and get the phone working the way I wanted again.
Are you saying it would be easier if I push the zip file to the phone and install using TWRP as a zip file instead of trying to sideload it?
Step 3: "Hold down the Power and Volume Up button (may need to do it a few times) to get to the Recovery menu".
Actually, the correct key combination is: Hold power, then (while holding power button) press and release volume up.
Works first time, every time.

So if your starting out with 47E, your rooted and have TWRP ..... would you use adb sideload in TWRP or you issue the command from the PC?

This is where I was, LMY47E, rooted, unencrypted and with TWRP. I followed the entire procedure - went back to LRX22C using fastboot, then sideloaded LMY47M (T-Mobile version) - then flashed the no force encrypt boot.img - booted, after it finished booting, rebooted to the bootloader and so on ...
When you go to LRX22C you flash back to the stock recovery. So you need to boot into the stock recovery, pick "apply update from adb" and then run the adb sideload command from the PC.
Cheers for this.. just what I was looking for. I'm at work so I only scanned this quickly, but any major change in the directions from what you've posted going from an unencrypted LMY47D?
With the factory images being posted, I just did the following:
Flashed the factory images
While still in bootloader, flashed TWRP
Rebooted into TWRP
Pushed SuperSU and the No_Force_encrypt to the /sdcard/ partition
Installed via TWRP
Profit.

For LMY47D you need to get to LMY47M first, so you would follow the entire procedure, downgrade to LRX22C and then sideload LMY47M and so on.
Heavily updated the procedure since LMY47M and LYZ28E factory images are now available directly from Google.
Should be a lot easier and more straight forward now!
I just recently have this Nexus 6 and came from an LG G2. I went through the process of unlocking the phone and installing rooted LMY47D which meant 2 factory resets in a short period.
I'm now on 5.1 and would like to get rid of the memory leak which this build apparently has.
The title mentions "maintain no encryption".
I never found the time to find out about Lollipop. The title implies that encryption is mandatory on 5.1.1
Is this so?
I merely want the latest upgrade to 5.1.1 and don't want to enforce encryption on my data (Google already knows everything about me) is this the way to achieve this?
I am correct in thinking that I will not get an OTA offered anymore?
Boot loader and radio only...
So if I understand the instructions correctly, if you are still encrypted but rooted, from any Lollipop installation, fast boot flash the factory images... then flash TWRP ... root and done right? Then I have another question... the kernel I am running EX 1.07 along with Flar's app is running perfect for me.... any dangers in just flashing the boot loader and radio? I would like to wait on the system part until the kernel has been updated.....
Also, if I needed to do a restore, if I only flash the boot loader and radio have I pooched being able to go backwards to a nand backup?
FYI, step 3 in option one should read:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img
vs
fastboot flash twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img

Starting with Android Lollipop (5.0) and newer - at least on the Nexus 6 - encryption is turned on by default for the userdata partition.
You would - if you wanted to - backup all of the data on your userdata partition (e.g. Any pictures you've taken with the phone, etc - all of the data basically that shows up when you plug your phone into your computer).
Then you need to be running an OS that doesn't force encryption (for example if you follow my instructions) - this would also get you running 5.1.1.
After that you need to format your userdata - it wouldn't be encrypted at that point, and then copy your data back if you want to.
If you don't care about encryption, you can simply flash the factory 5.1.1 image following my instructions and skip the TWRP parts.
Hi,
I did search, but I didn't find any solution to the issue. I got the Nexus 6P 64 GB.
I unlocked my bootloader using the 6p Multitool. Thereafter I used my normal method of fastboot (Minimal ADB) to flash the boot.img from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344.
After that I flashed TWRP. Basically I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928.
But my phone is not booting up.
It gives me this error:
Your device software cannot be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader."
But I tried that and it doesn't work. I tried from fastboot restoring to factory, but get the same message.
Please help me!
Did you check the enable oem unlocking in developer settings?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yes. As I said, I achieved the unlock. Now I just can't get back into my phone or recovery or anything other than fastboot (where it says unlock)
isn't "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." the new msg on boot when you are unlocked, and you have to wait ~10 secs before it startup ?
After that, I'm stuck on the Google screen. It just goes on and on. Left it for over 20 minutes at one point and it didn't get past it.
Edit: The multicolored animated google screen. The animation just keeps going and going.
Del.
Your issue might be due to the encryption of the phone. Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3234976
From this thread:
NOTE: Decrypting data is not supported yet. The Nexus 6P will normally attempt to encrypt the device automatically on first boot. To use TWRP as you normally would, you will have to format data and install a slightly modified boot image with forceencrypt disabled. My Nexus 6P should arrive tomorrow and I will start working on decrypt once I get my hands on it.
Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Read through that thread. Part of the issue is that I don't know which variant (MDA89D & MDB08K) I have, or how to find that out seeing as I can't boot into the phone.
If I have the variant I may be able to fix this through the unified toolkit (though I'm not sure of that)
Did you ever fix this?
Try flashing the factory image and starting from scratch. You must have messed up somewhere. Re-download the boot.img from Chainfire's thread, maybe that was corrupt or something.
1. Download the MDB08K factory image (it's not a variant, it's a Marshmallow update) and unzip it.
2. Download the MDB08K boot.zip from Chainfire's modified boot.img thread
3. Download latest SuperSU beta zip
Wipe phone in TWRP, to include format data.
In bootloader, fastboot flash MDB08K
fastboot flash modified boot.img (from zip)
In TWRP, ADB sideload SuperSU
Reboot and it should perform normally.

Thank you for your reply, but I can't get into TWRP either!! Any way for me to restore to factory or do the repairs from in flashboot without the restore?
I ran into the same issue last night trying to install TWRP. I'm still not sure how to get around it but I did get my phone back. you should be able to get to the bootloader (hold the power button until phone turns off, then hold vol up+vol down+power) once there use ADB fastboot to go back to stock.
this link will walk you through what you need. follow step 7.

here it is as well:
How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader (section 1).
Download the appropriate factory images for your model here.
Unzip the angler-xxxxxx-factory-xxxxxxxx (x's replace variables) into a directory on your PC (for this guide we'll use C:\angler\).
Once unzipped you should have a folder named angler-xxxxxx (x's replace variables). Open it and move the following files to a new directory named C:\angler\images\:
bootloader-angler-angler-01.31.img
radio-angler-angler-01.29.img
(Please note that radio and bootloader naming changes from build to build so the filenames and below commands will change with them)
Within C:\angler\angler-xxxxxx\ you'll see another zip archive named image-angler-xxxxxx, unzip the contents of that zip into the C:\angler\images\ folder we created before. Now within C:\angler\images\ you should have the following files:
android-info.txt
boot.img
bootloader-angler-angler-01.31.img
cache.img
radio-angler-angler-01.29.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
vendor.img
Boot into the bootloader and connect your phone to your PC via usb cable.
Open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder (navigate to where you have fastboot.exe located on your PC, shift + right click anywhere within that folder, select open command prompt here), enter these commands to flash:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-01.31.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-m8994f-2.6.28.0.65.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash userdata C:\angler\images\userdata.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img
Thank you. I was eventually able to do tysonwald's suggestion. First I didn't know what my version was, so I couldn't.
At some point I was able to get into the phone with constant gapp errors, check it.
Now my phone is unlocked and rooted. But when I go to settings to security (and when I tried to set up my fingerprint) settings crashes. Any ideas?
There was still some issue. I wiped the phone with the above method again, did NOT set up twrp/root, and everything works. It was something about the custom boot image I guess. Any advice if I want to try to set it up again?
Problem solved. Needed to update to newer image before doing everything. Issue resolve from Heisenberg's thread. Thank you all!
I had the same damn issue last night. Thise bootleg instructions had me flashing build k boot.img on build D. Maybe i wasnt paying attention lol!
I have a very similar problem, I flashed the k boot img. and now I'm stuck in an endless bootloop any idea?

Read thru this guide and follow the instructions to the T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
I had a similar issue just now where my phone got stuck at the TWRP logo. Selecting the reboot option in download mode refused to remove it. I had to follow step 10 to get my phone back to stock. I'm afraid to try this again now
Is there anyway to know which version do i need to download? i bought the phone already bricked and i am trying to bring it back to life
