unfortunately I don't think it is related. I believe there is a problem with some partition on my device leading it to boot into recovery automatically.

Used to happen to me all the time...
You should install the ROM you have and advanced restore from that ROM's backup [In my case only /data]

Bootloop after cwm restore

Hey guys! I am a bit of a noob on installing roms. I have a rooted s4 then I installed cwm. I restored touchwiz first just in case then flashed cm11. I liked touchwiz better so I restored it and its always stuck in a bootloop. I dont really know what information to give you since I'm a noob at this. My phone isn't with me right now but I'll be getting it soon. Also I flashed cm11 again so its usable. I haven't seen any thread that has this problem with the same phone.

Hi mate ,
I guess when you said restored TW you mean backup, nandroid?
When you restored your copy of nandroid , did you did a factory reset ,clean dalvik and cache...it helps

The right way, if you want touchwiz back, is this:
go to your recovery, select wipe data. Wipe it and after that restore your backup, than clean cache. This should work fine

yup sorry.
I didn't wipe cache, dalvik and other stuff when I did it but I tried restoring after I have cleared dalvik, cache, data and also a factory reset and it still goes into a bootloop.

right now I can't tell which version of clockworkmod recovery I have since my phone isnt with me but I'm getting it real soon.
When I say restore I mean restoring using cwm. I think its called nandroid but I'm not sure.

the lockscreen works but it keeps saying something like user proccess is not responding do you want to close it? then there is wait or ok. I tried to open the camera from the lockscreen and it works. I think the backup is corrupted. Do you think I should flash a rom like touchwiz? if yes, do you know any good ones?

PLZ HELP!! Nexus 6p keeps booting into TWRP menu

Today and after deciding to simply restart my Nexus 6P, it booted into TWRP menu, I tried to reboot again, but no luck. can someone please help?
is there a way to get off the TWRP menu and boot my phone normally?
Note: The root used to simply work fine for about a month now.
Did you take an update? Rom details? You basically said you stuck a fork in a microwave and it sparked.

Have you tried wiping the caches and/or data? Have you tried reflashing whatever ROM you're using? Have you tried flashing the factory images with fastboot?

I will have to call you out here buddy. If you have indeed tried to flash all factory images, you won't even have TWRP in the first place.
Go to this wonderful guide by the wonderful @Heisenberg, and scroll down to "10. How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)". You will find very clear instruction on how to return your phone to its factory stock state. This will most likely get rid of the problems you're facing.

If you had flashed the full factory images I don't see how it's possible at all to be in your current situation. Explain how you flashed them, and exactly what you flashed please.

Bootloop

A few days ago, I flashed a custom rom and after installing it, I realized that I didn't like it. So, I tried to restore my old rom through twrp(ive made a backup before). But then when the restore is completed and I reboot to system. It got stuck on bootloop.
I've tried wiping the system clean, factory reset.
I don't know how else to do.
Anyone got any idea why? I'd be glad
Rom that I restored is RR rom by tank.
Thanks

[hardbricked ]Pls help immediately

I wanted to flash stock rom but by mistake I flashed a wrong version of it. I later found the actual version of rom i needed and flashed it. Everything is working fine but I'm not getting network services. Is there a fix for this plz help
How is that being "hardbricked"? When it is "hardbricked" you will have only a flashing led, and not be able to boot into anything, much less be able to flash a rom.
