I was having issues with my phone not getting a GPS fix. So, I figured I'd try a few different ROMs. I was on this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771110, and everything worked great except the GPS. I then did a TWRP backup and installed Cyanogen 11. It booted fine into it, but I still couldn't get a GPS lock. So, I thought, maybe it's a kitkat issue with my phone. So, I tried installing this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595586, after doing a full wipe except for internal storage. It sat at "formatting", as the OP says it may, but it finally finished. Then, it wouldn't boot. It just sat at the LG logo screen. I went back into TWRP and tried a few wipes (cache, dalvik, and data), but it still wouldn't boot. So, I decided to restore my TWRP backup of Lam Hoang 7.1, and now it is still stuck at the LG logo, and won't boot.
Any help would be appreciated!
Try a different recovery. I'd start with Philz recovery. After flashing Philz recovery I'd reflash the most recent ROM listed in your second link. In my experience twrp has given me quite the trouble. Good luck.

Yes you can but you cannot restore a philz backup with twrp

How? When I go into restore backup in Philz and select my backup, it just shows me a bunch of files (some with a .md5 extension).
I got it back up. Flashed Philz and installed a rom. Then, I restored one of my backups, and it booted fine.

Awesome. Twrp just seems buggy from time to time.

Still have no GPS though. I wish I knew why, because it used to work fine.

My shift is not booting any roms i flash. I have clockwork installed and i am wiping everything 4 times before installing, boot cache system data ect, but its not working, everything is getting stuck at the white htc boot screen.
What version of clockwork recovery are you on?
thats exactly what im thinking it is too now, its 2.5.1.8
Update your recovery and you should be good
Current clockworkmod is 3.2.0.1
i think somebody had an issue like this the other day. once they updated their recovery everything worked fine. good luck!
Yep! I just went into fastboot and RUU'd and then rerooted, installed the newest clockwork and voilà flashed and booted up fine!

You didn't need to ruu and reroot.. you could have just flashed the latest recovery via Rom Manager. Glad you got it working though
i completely wiped everything off the phone, and was in boot loops trying to flash roms, so i had pretty much no other choice. (i didnt have a nandroid basically )

Ok so first off I was successful in rooting the phone, installing twrp rec., flashing loki files, and then flashing wicked rom with ktweaker tw kernel. I made a backup of the stock rooted rom before wicked was flashed. Then my troubles started when I wanted to go back to my stock backup. The rom booted but has serious issues like black screen with only status bar working and then eventually freezing. I also made a backup of a working wicked and tried restoring that but then I just get stuck in boot loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what twrp version
did you wipe all before restoring
you could try to install Phils cwm recovery, folks say it works great and will restore twrp backups also

Follow full wipe procedures, have the same recovery you made the backup with, and try again.

I flashed the stock firm. Soft brick averted. Did the same goo manager recovery method, but now i'm thinking of flashing that cwm as ppl have reported the same nandroid backup issues with twrp. My version is 2.5.0.2. I will keep trying to get twrp for a while with others users till i get sick of it (semi twrp fan). Any further advice would be cool. Oh and I did a factory twrp wipe the first time this problem occurred.
I wipe data caches and system before flashing. No more advice. Had newest TWRP hang on Team Win screen. Several manual reboots into recovery till it worked. Maybe I better do restore to see if it works.

My N10 with stock 5.1 previously had root with TWRP 2.8.6, but for some reason it recently lost root. In addition, it seems that TWRP has been corrupted because whenever I try to boot into recovery I get a dead bootloader with a red exclamation mart. After I flashed the most recent version of TWRP 3.0.0-1 using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-1-manta.img" (bootloader still unlocked), I still get a dead bootloader when booting into recovery.
Then I flashed back to TWRP 2.8.6, but the problem remains!
How to fix the problem? Thanks!
I hope you can go to bootloader mode... Revert to stock by flashing the factory images and then start over again

Just flashed an even older version (2.8.5) of TWRP, and now suddenly it can boot into recovery without any problem. I have also gained root now after flashing SuperSU.
I was planning to flash the most recent version of TWRP (3.0.0-1), and then try out CM13, but for some reason my N10 with stock 5.1 does not like those newer versions of TWRP. Do you know why?

I downloaded all the three versions (2.8.5, 2.8.6, and 3.0.0-1) of TWRP I've flashed so far from here:
https://dl.twrp.me/manta/
This is weird. Is it because I didn't have root during the time I flashed 2.8.6 or 3.0.0-1? I thought that flashing TWRP would not require root.
Can I flash CM13 with TWRP 2.8.5? I'll definitely make a Nandroid backup before proceeding.

With nandroid, you are good to go.
Should be possible :fingers-crossed:

I did factory reset in TWRP 3.0.0-1 and then flashed CM 13.0-20160309 on my N10 with the dynamic Gapps. Now I get this error Unfortunately Google Play Services Has Stopped. Is it because the default factory reset is not good enough or something else? If it needs a full wipe, what exactly should I wipe, system and data? And after a full wipe, do I need to reflash CM13 or just Gapps?
Thanks!

Problem solved: Just flashed the pico Gapps, and now everything works fine. For some reason the dynamic Gapps didn't work for me.

May be there isn't enough space to flash them.

Hi!
EDIT: Never mind, problem solved. Sorry.
I have finally decided to root my G900F (6.0.1). I flashed TWRP through Odin without problems, booted to TWRP to make it permanent, booted normally to check that all is well. After that I made a full backup in TWRP and flashed the BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip. After that, my phone no longer boots (hangs on the Galaxy S5 screen with a blue indicator LED).
I can still boot to TWRP.
How can I fix my phone? Please help. What did I do wrong?
I did try wiping the cache partition but nothing else.
Hopefully the solution does not require a full wipe.
EDIT: I see what I did wrong. I have accidentally flashed an old SuperSU.
Can I use a backup I made with a TWRP?
EDIT2: Luckily the restore did work! Will try to flash a more recent SuperSU.
flash it again but with latest version of supersu. It will work

Yup, it did work beautifully. Lucky for me that I remembered to make a backup before rooting.
I tried to factory reset a custom ROM, got sent to TWRP then I can't reboot to system from there. Tried a clean install but to no avail. I've looked around on the internet and I think I have to reinstall stock ROM and then reinstall custom recovery and ROM, except if I were to install the stock ROM once again (with sp tools) I need my phone to be turned off, not in recovery mode. So how exactly should I proceed now?
EDIT: Managed to get rid of the TWRP bootloop by restoring from a stock nandroid I've found on the forums, coupled with flashing a stock recovery image using TWRP. Reunlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP all over again and then flashed custom ROM and Gapps. Everything running fine now.
