Hello guys,
I had tried to flash TWRP through dd command following the instructions from TWRP offcial website but it failed. This is what I did:
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Of course I changed the filename but, as I said, it somehow failed and now I'm worried about what this command changed.
My phone is still working normally. I rebooted and everything seems fine but I don't really know what happend.
Did I changed something that I could have not changed?
Thank you.
Unfortunately you haven't provided nearly enough information for us to tell anything. We can't see your device, so if you don't describe in detail what you saw, we have nothing to work with.
At an absolute minimum. post verbatim what you typed and saw on screen.
What S5 model did you do this on?
Link to the TWRP file you were trying to install.

Hello,
I stupidly ran the latest OTO application update for my LG G2 d802 on KitKat today, and now it bootloops to TWRP (that was installed with autorec)
How do I recover from this please?
This helps
I had the same this is the fix for it.

Thank you.
I found this other solution in the noob friendly help thread which helped recover from my specific situation with less hassle:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56853046&postcount=4123
(Although he had a capital letter wrong, which I fixed in the quote below)
I could get out of the bootloop by Advanced, then Terminal Command, press Select,use this code,
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

At first, the terminal seemed to show an error after the operation ("not enough space"), but it did fix it none the less and the phone rebooted normally again.
Hi guys
I decided to try and and unlock and root my phone as soon as I got it. But somewhere along the line things didn't go to plan, and I've got a phone with TWRP (3.0.2-b-b10) on it, and that's about it (stupidly I didn't do a back up as I'd not set anything up on the phone yet). I can still put it into Factory Test Mode, and run 'adb reboot edl' to put into a place where I can communicate with it using tenfar's tool.
First time out, everything seemed to go fine, but when I booted up the phone after running through the process, the wifi wasn't working. This meant I couldn't get through the first stage of phone set up (select language, then wifi, nothing I tried would get me beyond that, as I guess a phone without wifi isn't much use).
So I went back into wiped a few things, tried tenfar's tool again with no luck; wifi still no working. I followed the steps on here, but the ADB commands failed.
Code:
C:\Users\Stephen\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell dd if=/dev/z
ero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
dd: /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1: Permission denied
After some more messing, I wiped the OS (yeah, idiotic). Anyway, so I download Draken's boot and stock from another post, but when trying to flash them via TWRP, they failed. I downloaded them on mac, and copied them to a exFAT SD card. It complains about failed to mount /firmware and no MD5 file found, then I get:
Code:
Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file
And it finishes. Same with the stock file. So now I'm in the process of downloading the B20.zip from here in the hope there is something in there I can flash to get the OS back on the phone. any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Sok
Had the same issue with rooting using Tenfar's tool. I used TWRP to flash a fresh B10 and start over. Send a PM if you need/want help.
Now I'm following the instructions here, and I keep getting the error:
Code:
Failed to mount '/firmware' (Invalid argument)
Then it tells me that the B20 zip file from Draken is corrupt.
Hey Guys,
i good a little problem with my axon 7. ive got the g model with cm13 and yesterday i tryed to flash the b29 o n my phone.
now the problem is that my sim card is accepted and the imeis are correct but i have no data connection at all.
so i tryed to go back to b03 oder other otas for the g model but i cant install any of this updates.zips in recovery because of error 8.
older backups dont fix the problem even and when i want to go back to the first backup i made after rooting the phone then it tells me that something is wrong withe the encoding...
so has anyone an idea how i can fix that problem?
for everyone with the same issue:
is used this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484) and it worked.
-> if you get the "encryption error1 after flashing the rom then just press reset phone.
-> if the divice doesnt boot after flashing just boot into recovery frist and reboot system in there.
but be sure that you havent any impiortant flies on internal sd card!
Try this: boot into TWRP recovery and in "advanced" go to Terminal Emulator
There, enter these codes
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1
and execute and then enter
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/modemst2
and execute
This should erase those partitions and they should regenerate automatically on boot.
If this doesn't help, you could indeed try to use someone else's modems
EDIT: damn, too late
Now we have two solutions!
thank you
I've installed TWRP last weekend and installed LineageOS 14.1 for my LG G6 H870.
I was tinkering with Magisk and Magisk Manager to be able to use Netflix, I didn't restart my device after this step.
Last night LineageOS offered an OTA update and afterwards it restarted to recovery mode.
I assumed I had to install the new image manually so that's what I did.
After the installation the phone rebooted back to TWRP Recovery so I wiped cache, data and dalvik.
It still rebooted back to TWRP recovery so I tried to reinstall LineageOS again by following these steps: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h870/install#installing-lineageos-from-recovery
The phone still only boots to recovery so my assumption, after some reading on XDA, is that something is wrong with the bootloader.
This could have happened when I was tinkering with Magisk, I think I've seen a notice that I tried to make changes to the bootloader.
To fix the bootloader the main suggestion is to flash the stock rom so i've started that path.
I've installed Uppercut and LG Up use links from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295/
I found a stock rom at https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h870-firmwares/#firmwaresList and I assume I need the "NEU/NORTHERN EUROPE" rom.
When I open Uppercut it says "There is no handset connected".
I've got no clue what steps to take at this point.
FYI I'm able to get in to the bootloader mode and the recovery mode but havent been able to get into the download mode.
If you still have twrp just flash stock from there.

I didn't know it was possible to flash a kdz file using twrp.
According to this reply it isn't possible using kdz files https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2650569
Do you know for sure that this is possible?
I think I need to flash the bootloader using fastboot but I don't know what source to use, and I hardly found bootloader files on the web.
I don't think Magisk is modifying the bootloader, but I could be wrong.
You can find the H870_v10T and US997_v14A bootloaders here:

Thanks for pointing out that thread!
I downloaded the bootloader and succesfully installed it using `adb sideload LG-H87010f-Flashable.Bootloader.zip`
But the phone still only boots to TWRP.
So I tried to flash a complete stock rom from https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/rom-eu-lg-h870-10t-rom-t3654134
I did wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System and Data and afterwards installed that rom.
Unfortunately these steps didn't make any difference to the boot sequence.
I've been trying again to get into the download mode using key combo's and using `adb reboot download` but it reboots to TWRP instead.
What should I try now?
I finally managed to enter download mode!
In the end I figured that I confused the key combo from my previous phone with this one.
I should only hold the volume up button and then plugin in the usb cable.
What I tried numerous times was a combo of volume up and power button.
for reference and people showing up here later. Doing lineage OTA updates on the G6 forces the device into that endless boot loop into recovery. You get out there by entering the shell in TWRP and dd'ing some zeros somewhere. I had it once but sadly did not write down how I solved it. Google for boot loop and twrp you will find hits here on xda where you see a dd if=/dev/zero line and explaining what todo. It is a bit different for each device, but the article tells you what to look for. As I understood it, writing some zeros at the start of a partition ends the loop, but I am no expert there, it just worked for me.
Oh yes, and stay away from lineage OTAs
Edit: ok, not xda but reddit, anyway here is the link
https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/5riech/how_fix_twrp_recovery_boot_loop_after_lineageos/
The life saving post is a comment further down by muniak
I'm using TWRP 3.1 and still had this issue.
Despite thinking my phone was rooted, I couldn't su, adb as root or anything, so I couldn't /fstab. I ended up looking around and comparing the path I was in with other's. So if you're having this problem just keep going around typing ls and pressing tab like below. Basically you're looking for "by-name/misc" in "/dev/block/platform/".
ls /dev/block ls /dev/block/platform ls /dev/block/platform/[dir or two] ls /dev/block/platform/[dir or two]/by-name ls /dev/block/platform/[dir or two]/by-name/misc
Then the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/[dir or two]/by-name/misc count=1 bs=32
Good luck and thanks so much for the help!

Same happend to me, there are some post that say you have to boot to bootloader and send bootloader continue command with your PC, however that didn't work for me. To flash with LG UP you have to have your phone off, connect USB cable to PC, press Vol+ on phone and connect the USB cable to the phone, it should start in a mode called download mode, then LG UP should find your device
OK so this is where i tell you if you brick your phone and try this and it makes it worse i am not to blame. this has worked on three different phones that i have used no problem.That being said lets dive on in.

FULL ROOT... ON MY HUAWEI XT2!! Twrp supersu and custom rom !!!
Sent from my HUAWEI H1711 using XDA Labs
The problem with this seems to be, at least for me, that a .bz2 file is not recognized by the recovery as an installable zip.
The dd trick worked for me, but the system image here, is not full stock. IT seems to have a mix of super_su and magisk in it.
Root is working, but I can't seem to mount system as r/w
So trying to figure this out. I used this image to do a restore, and my phone was rooted with magisk.
First time a program tried root, it said that super su was installed. When I went to another one, it said that magisk was installed.
Anyrate, at one time I was able to mount system r/w and make changes. Now it seems that I can't for whatever reason. I don't know exactly how I got it
to the state to be able to modify the system.
I actually pulled an entire copy of the rom at one time, with a dd command. Of course that can't be reflashed from twrp. But I'd like to be able to mount it somehow on a pc so I could do a stringsearch for all files that have an ro, in them to find the master files where the filesystems are mounted, and edit those....

HELP PLEEEASE! Bricked h1711
Badly need mmcblk0.img for H1711! Had TWRP and phone was rooted but I screwed up and flashed a wrong IMG. Now I have the dreaded QHSUSB_BULK issue. Nothing but a black screen and a blue light. I googled "How to fix QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 error" and went on forum.hovatek.com where it said "This error is an indication that the phone is hard bricked due to a corrupted Bootloader. It could occur randomly or after you make a change to the phone, causing the phone to go into Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode." It also stated that I could fix it by creating a bootable SD card using the phone's original mmcblk0.img file using a program called Win32DiskImager. I don't have mmcblk0.img and I can't boot into recovery or fastboot. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!! Also first two links in OP's post don't work. Any files or advise you can contribute would be GREATLY appreciated! THANKS!
mmcblk0.img would contain all phone partitions including those with personal information like IMEI number and the /data partition that should not be shared.
Nobody should be sharing that without understanding it contains their IMEI number and other possibly personal information in /data and I'm sure it would be at least 8-10GB.
And what would you do with the file anyway if you can't get into fastboot or recovery?

What is the link to the info you found?
I have the image you need, but it is 15 GIGs in size, and there is no practical way to send that. I also have a system image, and a boot image with magisk in it, as per the OP.
P.M. me.
I don't see how you can recover this if you don't have recovery or fastboot, and can't boot into the phone. If the bootloader is corrupted, well I just don't know.
Can you get into twrp?
You do know that there are two recoveriess, one erecovery and another recovery.
It seems that POWER and VOL up may get you into one, and POWER and VOL down may get you into another one.
NOTE: I KNOW you can't flash the image via fastboot, cause I tried it. it is just to big.
The files are all to big to post here....
https://nofile.io/f/2sfHn8teU1s/system.img.bz2 I put this up 6 days ago for someone else. I don't know how long the link is good for.
This is the system image from the non-working link. You will need to untar it.

https://nofile.io/f/uAET5bTqQVk/patched_boot.zip <<<<<< bootloader patched with magisk for a root that does not touch the system partition.
I'll try to put the 15 gig mmblockp0 up here if it will take it, but it is at the office.
I hope this helps.
I now also have a virgin system image, stock. The image given above appears to also have supersu installed it int.
at least it has a su in the system image. Where magisk, just patches the boot image as I understand it.
Any luck on that stock system.img? I formatted mine like an idiot and now sitting on a phone with no OS
same as above, i will even take the rooted system.img i have all other files needed.
I'm a little bit of a noob at all of this but could someone explain to me how they got twrp and root on their xt2? I can really only process step by step and I haven't found that anywhere yet. I'm getting this phone later today so it'd be really cool to get root on it

My device suffered the same fate, only a blue light black screen unable to enter boot or recovery. I slowly removed the back cover using my fingernails and removed the two screws holding the metal plate above battery on the right. Popped the left most plug to disconnect the power flow and allow phone to power off completely. Be careful not to touch any of the metal near the plug or you will short. I plugged it back in and held volume down while I inserted USB connected to computer. Tada!! Back in action fastboot ready... So OK now what?? I can't seem to be able to flash an update. Zip just keeps saying failed to load, and system image is too big. Can someone point me to the correct files I need to get her working again? Thanks in advance.
