What did you flash?, theme kernel? Be specific

I went to flash some circular battery mod, and then it crashed and won't boot.

Never mind. Do you have cwm installed? if so, flash a rom that matches the one you are on. That'll fix that issue. Next time don't flash something that isn't for the rom version that you are on.

Specifially I renamed it framework-re.apk.bak, and then about to replace it it won't boot.

Which rom version are you on? DL09? DJ05? DI01?

Dont have cwm installed, did it through root explorer.

You probably flashed a file that wasn't compatible with our phone, or isn't compatible with the ROM you're running (DI01 mod on DJ05/DL09). Reflash the ROM you're running and it should fix the problem.

Just flash the rom that you are on again.

So there's no way out? I have to loose all my data?

Also next time flash a theme that it's compatible to your rom version.
You don't have to wipe!
you can flash dj05 theme on top of dl09, but remember to flash the dl09 theme fix.

If you flash the same rom you're on now, you don't have to wipe data.

I'm going to win imnuts...

But doesn't odin delete all data?

By any chance, did you make a backup of your old framework-res.apk?
And what version are you on? DI01, DJ05, DL09?
If you have Clockwork, you can use ADB to push a new framework to your phone. Just reboot into recovery, connect to your computer and open up a command prompt (on Windows):
adb push framework-res.apk system/framework/framework-re
Here's mostly stock versions of the framework:
DI01
DJ05/DL09 (works for either, but you have to rename to framework-res.apk)
The only difference in these is that I did my own little battery mod:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you had a theme installed, this will probably screw it up, reverting most stuff back to stock, but hopefully it'll at least get you booting again.

If I reboot into normal samsung recovery will adb work?

I am just gonna reflash with odin..........

Not sure if ADB works with the stock recovery, I'm using a Voodoo kernel, so the stock recovery is gone.
But if you're flashing with Odin, you could just flash Clockwork recovery and then boot to it and use ADB. Might as well get Clockwork on your phone... with a backup, you could have been back up in just a few minutes.

Wow, this is a fascinating thread with so much confusion.

you MUST reflash a kind of stock/not gps moddified version :/

Getting this same issue on wifes Nexus 4. Its stock with the 4.3 JB OTA no mods or root since that OTA. Can't understand why GPS.conf could be changed.
If I root and TWRP could a factory image update.zip with the -w wipe removed work to get her to KitKat without wiping and redoing her phone? I am used to flashing custom roms this stock ota stuff is giving me a headache.

You do not use custom rom or custom recovery to flash factory image. Use the links in my signature for instructions.

I understand that, she is stock ROM, with stock recovery and not rooted when she is having this issue. No root TWRP or custom rom involved. Since it wasn't working with stock recovery was looking for options without wiping device during factory image flash to fix GPS.conf file thats buggered.
She got the OTA normal way on her phone this afternoon, but it failed. Will check out your sig links when I get home and see if I can solve this without spending all night setting her phone back up from a factory image wipe :/ Thx for feedback and any pointers

The flashing will required an unlocked bootloader, so if its not unlocked you will lose all data when unlocking it. (Doing a factory reset in stock recovery also wipe everything.)
I don't really know what else you can do, if there were never any modifications, then the problem is due to Google having too much protections and issues for their OTA packages.

Unlocked so can do the method in your guide. But she says she wants to clean up her phone so a clean start will probably perform better and she gets the clean slate she wants, problem solved Though OTA checks annoy me now lol
thx for the feedback and guides

I have the same problem, I tried to reinstall recovery, reinstall rom, baseband, bootloader, but I always get the same result.
But it's always a hope, if you try a lot of times to enter into recovery, and if you're lucky, you will get access to partitions, for example, I have to reboot into recovery for 20 to 30 times, and I get access to partitions in 1 of that 20 or 30 attempt. In that attempt that I got access to partitions I installed a custom rom, just try a lot of times, you're going to be lucky in one, it's all that you need :good:

TWRP doesn't flash anything

I have flashed stock MM rom , now whenever i try to flash any kernel twrp freezes and phone restarts to recovery, I've used this armoa supported TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/3-customs-recoverys-galaxy-j5-2015-t3560266
latest official TWRP and also latest Orangefox, all had the same issue, what should I do?
UPDATE: Problem resolved after reflashing the stock and debloating it, not sure which one did the trick but anyways it worked!

If you can flash rom, Gapps or any other things expect kernel, then your twrp works fine and you flash the wrong kernel for that one(you flashed the another model)
And maybe it's bc of your twrp that can't flash kernel and need the special one that the kernel dev should be mentioned
Would you please share the link or give me more details?

yes, I can flash everything else except kernels.
the issue is all TW 6.0.1 kernels here have their links removed so I just have them from re-uploaders outside of xda forums, here is a kernel of a total of 3 kernels that don't even flash no matter what recovery I'm using
http://www.mediafire.com/file/040tj212gjqfzzp/J500H-Kraken-R4_Nyell.zip/file
and thanks for the reply
update: the recovery doesn't freeze in the middle of the procedure. it freezes at the very beginning like "checking digest files" and things like that

That's the problem. Unpack the zip and there should be a boot.img inside. No wonder it wasn't working.

already tried that, but have you looked at the file? it has patches for wifi and things like that, when I extracted the zip file and flashed only the boot.img the rom worked but without wifi and with a lot of bugs.

LineageOS update gone wrong

Hi,
Using a Note3 LTE version. 9005. Tried to update with TWRP ver 2.8.7. Did not work. Tried to flash 3.3.0 TWRP image, now phone only goes in these two modes after removing the SD card:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this
The flash was on the SD card. Card removed now. Any ideas how to fix this?

Can you perform fastboot commands?

Wait just flash a rom with odin then go back into bootloader and flash twrp.

How to do that? I'm guessing this is the way. Its been a very long time since I flashed a phone.

This should be new enough.

How do I mark the best answer?
I've installed the LOS, got it working but no gapp apps. So tried to flash TWRP again, but it always boots to the LOS 18 recovery and not TWRP. Now going back to Note3 stock. There must be something I'm doing wrong somewhere.

Before you flash the recovery, untick the Auto Reboot option in ODIN. Then flash the recovery. After flashing in done, reboot your device directly to recovery mode from download mode by pressing Vol up + Power + Home button together. Now you will see the TWRP recovery is booted in your device. Now you can reboot normally and your TWRP will be installed.
