[Q] Help :( escape twrp back to factory - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I just recived my sprint lg g2, i was asked whether to update the system to the sprint network, being a mistake i clicked yes. Im in new zealand so i thought it wouldnt matter. Bad mistake and it took me to the twrp menu... I simply wanted to restore the phone back to factory settings or just return to how it was before. (I had no idea that twpr was installed on ge phone to begin with)
However i cant seem to figure it out. Ive backed it up not that that really matters, but when i go to reboot system it says
"your device does not appear to be rooted, install supersu now? This will root your device".
I swipe and it reboots simply back to twrp... How do i escape this?
Thank you so much

Someone please help me
I do not know what to do... When i go into the restore folder there are no files. Does this mesn i have turned the phone into a brick?
Before there were two files in the restore section niw they have disappeared! I have not connected this phone to a computer... I am really upset because all i simply did was allow sprint to update the phone and it is not connected to any network! Eifi only......
I just want to get out of the twrp and go back to how the phone was when i recieved it, is it possible? Please help me

in twrp go to advanced, go to terminal command, press select, then type this
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

ok thank you!
so it came up with this:
finished running boot script.
E:Storage partition '//TWRP/BACKUPS/04816da2910e8952' not found
then the above command dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota completed with 'no space left on device'
Somehow it seems the backup has been deleted.... I must have done this somehow trying to reboot.
What should I do next? thanks!!

This is what came back to be precise:
Finished running boot script.
E:Storage partition '//TWRP/BACKUPS/04816da2910e8952' not found
/ # dd if=/dev/zero of=dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

[Q] Stuck in twrp recovery after update

Morning everÿone,
I am currently stuck in twrp recovery with a sprint lg g2. I factory reset my phone last night, and all was well. Accidentally clicked on the ota update that was showing it had downloaded. Phone rebooted into recovery. I have tried to restore from a backup I made last night after the hard reset. Phone says it was successful, I click reboot, comes right back up into recovery after the lg symbol.
I am new to android, so I am not familiar with how to use adb. I am fine with losing all the info that is on my phone, no biggie, just need the phone working again.
I have a zip saved to my phone, from when I was rooted before, which I tried to flash. It takes about 30 seconds, and then says that it failed.
Any help, pointers, directions would be amazing.
Also, have never used side loader, but have heard of people loading roms this way, to get back working.
Please and thank you

Great. thank you. I do not have adb access, if i go into advanced, and then terminal command, i have a list of folders, paths, something like that, that I can click on. which would I need to go to, in order to type in the command?
"Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
After that finishes, you can reboot and continue on your happy way!"

In terminal command, there is a choice for select. I clicked that, and then I typed in the following command in terminal command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
once this was done, i backed out, and selected reboot, power off. phone powered up, and went right back into twrp recovery...What did I do wrong?
This is from tomajo2 in another thread. That OP was stuck in CWM, but in case the fix is similar, here you go:
I have a better idea to repair this problem.
1- You have to install LG Phone drivers and Android.sdk
2- Download TWRP for LG G2 and paste it to platform-tools folder in android.sdk direction on your PC
3- Go to recovery and plug the phone to PC
4- Next, in your phone recovery CWM you have to choose install zip and install.zip from sideload. Then wait for install the drivers of phone on your PC.
5- Open console in folder platform-tools (shift + PPM) and type adb sideload nameofTWRPfile.zip
6- Then reboot phone
7- Next enter to another time to recovery (now will be TWRP recovery)
8- Enter advanced and terminal console
9- Choose select and type the second option from this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2451696
10- Reboot phone
In my case is everything ok, but you have to remember that you can't install any OTA on custom ROM !
Sorry, but my english is not so good
Thank you,
I just received and installed an OTA update today. I was stuck in twrp and this saves my butt.
I used the terminal command in TWRP menu and type in the dd code and reboot the phone. Make sure you check twice that you have typed it in correctly or you could brick your phone.
Cheers.

When you are typing this in terminal command, where are you typing it at? I believe that I typed it in correctly, checked twice. Backed out, went to reboot, and power off. When comes back on, goes back into recovery.
I see at the top of terminal command, there is a line with / in it.
If you press select, it takes you to a line where you can enter in the full command, which I did before.
When I press select,in terminal command this is what is I type in, checked to make sure I am typing it in correct.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Once I type this in, I hit go, in the lower right.
Takes me back out one screen
I then go to reboot
I've tried big power off and system
Once loads back up, it goes right back to twrp recovery.
Where am I going wrong? Where it says by name in the command, do I need to change that, or does it stay by-name? I've been typing it In as by name like the command shows.
I would love to help but what you did is exactly what I did. However regarding the go button I am not so sure. Why don't you try hitting enter instead.

Any idea how I'd pull this off from CWM? I'm in the same boat but can't seem to get storage mounted or adb.
w00t
I wasn't able to get ADB on my windows VM, but just managed to get it on OS X and this worked perfectly. Thanks so much!

Doh! another one here with a brick. Can you solve this one?!

here goes...
Accepted an OTA from LG while running Rayglobe.
Stuck in CWM boot loop.
Cannot restore nandroid or install any zip from the sd card.
Managed to get adb and entered the command below, but still stuck in the CWM loop.

here's what I did when I was in a very similar situation as you. I was using CWM and I got caught in the same boot loop I was trying to get into download mode. After doing some research you have to download TWR p on your computer and saiboat it.. (Sorry was using speak to text) you have to sideload twrp and then flash it.. Reboot the phone and it will be in twrp.. Then you can put it in download mode and flash stock ROM back on... Or you can sideload a ROM that you kbiw works and flash it.. You go to install on cwm and then look for install from sideload... Use adb to push IT.. Look up (can boot loop xea) on Google and there will be some very helpful post that will tell you exactly how to do what I'm saying

My recovery still works, but when i install a zip from sd like rayglobe for instance, it goes through the aroma set up, reboots but goes straight back into CWM recovery. I get a message saying android-secure.img missing.
I also cannot install a nandroid back up

Thanks for your advice. I wasn't sure if you could flash one recovery on top of another.
If I cannot install a zip on CWM, do you think I will be able to with TWR?

I ran into the same issue last night. This fixed it on my twrp recovery. I'm not sure how it works for CWM but if you're running through adb shell would it not be the same?
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.
Thanks for your help guys, I managed to install TWRP but now i'm stuck in a loop with TWRP instead of CWM.
I wiped and install Rayglobe, but i'm now in a different loop.
any fixes?

Where are you typing this? I tried in adb shell while in cwm and now i got twrp to flash and i'm stuck there. I go to advanced and terminal command and it's asking me to choose a file and bringing up my sdcard. I choose select and it open terminal and I entered everything but the phone just boots back to recovery.

In TWRP, Go to advance, then go to Terminal and write down these codes one-by-one.
1. Code (Text): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota Now press enter, and write down another code.
2. Code (Text): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
Press enter again! Then go to main menu, go to Reboot and hit System. You're done, enjoy!

Manual Update from March 7 2018 build to March 14 2018.
Hey guys! I got this update recently and i wanted to install it manually after being unable to update automatically from the installer. So, i flashed the update file and everything was fine until the first 3-4 minutes but then i realized that my phone got into a bootlool.
Things I've tried,
1. Wiped Dalvik Cache and other cache from recovery.
2. Tried reinstalling the same file hoping it would save me.
3. Googled about it and found a guy named Karmicks giving the terminal code for exiting the loop. Still no luck!
I was on Nextbit Robin Lineage OS 14.1 Nightly ether build March 7 2018 before flashing.
It's my only device. I need help in getting it out of bootloop without any data loss ( exception if it's a serious case ).
Kindly let me know if you've got anything that can help me. Email me at "[email protected]"

Galaxy On5 - TMO G5500T - IMEI Unknown

We got a handful of free On5's when we signed up with TMO (from VZW) last year. No one really liked them much, so they have been mostly replaced by better phones. We do have two in use, however. Once was for my daughter, who was just using it on WiFi. I had loaded TWRP 3.0.2.0 on it and rooted it, but had all sorts of problems with the com.android.phone error messages. Since she is starting middle school next year, we thought it was time to add a line for her. I got the SIM via next-day air, but noticed that whenever it was in, the IMEI and IMEISV would show up as "Unknown". If I removed the SIM and rebooted, it would show a proper IMEI number.
I did a full wipe (including the internal SD card) and restored from some downloaded md5/tar files to quote-unquote "start over". Now the incessant com.android.phone messages are gone (thank God), but the IMEI is still showing "unknown", except now, it's even showing unknown when the SIM slot is empty. I also tried throwing my SIM in to see if it was an issue with her SIM, but it still shows unknown and SIM not inserted in the status bar.
From what I understand, the EFS partition contains the IMEI info. I tried a dd command to rebuild the EFS, which actually worked on my Axon 7 when I had a similar issue (no radio functions to speak of), but it didn't help. The phone is exactly the way it was.
Here are the commands I ran. Maybe they are different for the Galaxy On5?
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
While I didn't save the output, it was very similar to this (including the "no space left" messages) output from my Axon 7.
Can anyone help?
Code:
/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/boo
tdevice/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384

I ended up picking up a Moto G4 to unlock and use instead, but I still would like to fix this and sell the phone. I will try z3x box tonight.
I have a issue with Efs. I cannot boot into the OS, have no root, or a custom recovery. In the stock recovery, I get an efs invalid argument message. Any ideas?

That was one of the first things I tried. I tried both methods. I don't remember how they failed, but they did. I'll try again, hopefully this weekend.
Try
in TWRP select "Mount" then tick efs, go back then select "Advanced" "File Manager" open efs folder select the check mark icon on lower right delete, then reboot phone.
If this works and you get network reboot into TWRP and backup efs.

That was easy enough to try... but it didn't work. The folder won't delete. Here's the error I get:
Code:
rm -rf "/efs" process ended with ERROR: 1
Did the process look like this?
Or can you just clear out the folder from a root browser. Then reboot.
Have you recovered from Kies by input of your model name and S/N
Yup. It looked just like that. I also tried via terminal and root browser. Both of those actually deleted the folder. They were back after a reboot, but were still empty.
I did try Kies. It seemed to work,but after it was done, I still had no radio/imei.
Steps I have taken
Have a good rom that you can Flash from TWRP via zip On ext SD, One I use is Superstarz On5.
Steps:
Recovered from Kies from S/N let boot into setup but dont setup
Turn off, boot into Download mode flash TWRP via Odin(untick auto reboot), remove battery
Place back battery boot into phone boot into recovery. Select Wipe and tick all but Ext SD.
Then install Rom Zip. If Superstarz in Aroma choose Hard Format, once done reboot let sit to install rom.

So if I do that, I don't need to do the recovery from Kies?
I would try the odin 1st its the fastest and seems like the best way

I'll try that first then. Hopefully I get some time tonight to mess with it.
Both of those say "Thailand". I would need the US-based ROM. Or does it matter... since I'll probably be putting something else on it anyway? If I'm stopping at the setup screen, it doesn't even need to be in English, I suppose.
