Hey guys,
Have a feeling that the bootloader tar i flashed for a rom is now preventing me from booting another (5.0.x) rom.
It installs fine via TWRP, but as soon as it reboots to boot, it sits on the device description screen and won't go any further complaining in red text that it was unable to start.
First time i've run into this issue so not sure what to do? LOL
Interestingly, tried to install CM12 just now - it errored out saying that my device ID is kltedr - I have a g900I

Ok, So I tried flashing Lightning Rom 2.0 using Philz Recovery. Installation went smoothly until the end where it failed to Lokify. I went ahead and installed the KK Baseband and attempted to boot. It was stuck in a bootloop. So I tried to boot back into recovery but being that I'm using the D801 model I had to flash Smiley's rom to remove recovery in order to avoid the "white lines" bug. So now I'm stuck with a rom that won't boot and no recovery. And when i try using LG Flash tool it says "Download Fail" " Device model is different". I know I'm using the correct files as I've used LG flash tool like 7-8 times on this phone. I think the rom failing to lokify changed the device model or something because even the bootloader looks different. (Before the interface was smooth, now the "No (exit) and Yes options are in boxes and turn grey when I highlight them. Someone please help me.
Hi,
I really am in a hurry. Using this phone for work as well as personal.
My phone is SM-N910C. Had 5.1.1 COI4 installed, rooted with cf-auto-root through Odin and after checking everything was ok setting SeLinux to permissive with the app found in this forum. Installed latest TWRP and flashed this with it (zip on first post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/guide-how-to-make-viper4android-lollipop-t3075794
Phone got stuck on Android is starting... Starting apps. After 20 minutes or so, wiped everything on the phone through Advanced wipe on TWPR. Phone doesn't restart, stuck on initial Note4 white letters (no Samsung splash screen) and recovery doesn't work.
Download (volume down etc) works. Tried to flash the COI4 again through ODIN but it fails all the time. Phone says sw rev. check fail device 2 binary 1... and now everytime I connect the USB phone gets stuck at a grey battery charging icon, even when I unplug it.
What can I do?
THANKS!
Got it! It was because phone installed an OTA update thus blocking bootloader to lesser versions. Updated to COJ5 and everything is fine.
Hi,
I recently got me a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) and the first thing i wanted to do was installing CM13 as I always do with my new phones. However, when i followed te steps on CM wiki using Heimdall to flash TWRP the blue bar of the downlaod mode increases a small bit, then stops and in the command promt it says something about error with finding PIT. After trying this for three times i decided to go with Odin, which I do prefer anyways.
I tried flashing TWRP , the blue bar is filling to 100% but then on the little screen where Odin usually states FAIL! or PASS! it just says RESET! and my phone is restarting. Shortly after it restarded you can see the RESET! turning to PASS!, but when I tried checking in TWRP is installed, it wasn't. I tried it again and then Odin suddenly says FAIL! After restarting my phone it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I couldnt even enter download mode anymore till I tried if getting out the battery would work. I could enter download mode again and flashed the same TWRP on my phone again, and aigain it says RESET! but after that my phone worked again. I tried flashing with another version of Odin and TWRP but same thing happened - First run it said RESET!, second run FAIL!.
I thought maybe rooting the device and installing TWRP via their app afterwards could do the trick. So i tried flashing Autoroot with Odin but it made my phone showing a screen with Samsung logo and in the upper left corner something about recovery mode, seemed to be a loop/freeze. So i took out the battery again and flashed TWRP and that solved the problem again. At last I tried rooting by using TowelRoot but it says the service is not available for my device, even though S5 is listed as a supported device.
I really have no idea what to do anymore, would be very grateful if someone could come up with a solution.
BTW: Is it possible to flash CM13 without using custom recovery by using stock recovery?
Greetings

RESET! is basically the same thing as PASS! What version of TWRP are you installing? The keis screen you got is the same as download mode. Why are you using heimdal? your idea to go with Odin was a good one. Anyways, download TWRP 3.0.2 (not 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-2 as they are buggy) and flash it in Odin, reboot to recovery and install the ROM you like, of course following its specific install instructions. No, you cant install a custom rom with stock recovery
Thanks for your answer, meanwhile i managed to fix this problem. Had to flash the latest Firmware because twrp (could just install the oldest version otherwise I had no option to boot into recovery at all) said no OS installed. After rooting via Odin worked like it's supposed to.
Why did I use Heimdall? Because I wanted to stick to CM-wikis instruction and they used Heimdall.
Hello,
I'll try to detail as much as I can to explain how i ended up Bootlooping :
I tried today to root my LG H870. (imported from Germany, according to the seller).
I followed the tutorial on xda to unlock the Bootloader on the device.
After flashing it, it launched Android the 1st time without difficulties.
I rebooted into TWRP, flashed supersu, then rebooted into Android. Problems started there, the system told me my partition was encrypted, and asked if i wanted to reinitialize it. After doing so, it's been stuck, bootlooping to TWRP, the internal partition empty.
I followed numerous tutorial on how to flash a stock ROM through TWRP, Fastboot, ADB Sideload, without any success.
With TWRP, it was always ending up saying the flash wasdone, without writing a single file in the partition.
I also tried installing stock ROM with LGUP, but once again, didn't seem to work. While in download mode, it was either telling me the phone was an unknown model, on port COM3, or that there was no handset connected.
I then followed another guide, using LG Firmware Extract and LG Flash Tool. It didn't work as expected, but, I don't really know how, it made LGUP seeing my phone correctly. I was then able to flash a stock ROM (H87010f). No error during the process.
After the LG Logo, i get now a blue screen, saying for some seconds "Encryption Progress", and after that "Factory Reset Status", with a big red "2", and it gets stucks there.
Once again, if I get into download mode and into LGUP, i get now the "no handset connected" message.
Is someone on here able to help me?
If more infos are needed, tell me, i'll try to answer!
Thank you all!
Hi,
I initially had G935FXXS3ERHD_G935FXEO3ERG2_XEO installed and flashed Glamour ROM S9+ port some time ago, now i need to return it to stock but no luck...
Using latest odin i flashed:
G935FXXU3ERL3_G935FXEO3ERKF_XEO
and
G935FXXU3ERJE_G935FXEO3ERJF_XEO
(i need to remain on 3 bootloader)
after each flash i receive the NO COMMAND screen, and cannot boot into stock recovery... only way to boot the phone is to install TWRP... I have noticed when i plug the phone is it comes up as GALAXY S9+ so i am guessing it hasn't been wiped correctly (i did formats, factory resets, wipes many many times and no change)
i have no idea what else to try
Hi,
Using latest Odin I am trying to return to my phone to stock but cannot
I have tried 4 different firmware’s already (over 20 times) and each one will PASS the flash process, phone rests, installing system update (stops at around 30%) and during the blue screen the update stops, resets, receive Erasing message for a bit and then NO COMMAND and phone will simply not boot. (with some flashes the stock recovery is not even available, working or present)
... only way to boot the phone is to install TWRP... installing the NO VERITY file seems to help in booting…
I have noticed when i plug the phone is it comes up as another device name (from a previous ROM) so i am guessing it hasn't been wiped correctly (i did formats, factory resets, wipes many many times and no change)
Back in DOWLOAD MODE under system status = CUSTOM (after flashing stock firmware)
My guess is that the new firmware I flash simply wont stick, or is half installed, or could be something to do with encryptions,
Some of the logs I see include:
Failed to open recovery
Reboot recovery cause UNKNOWN
E: Failed setting up dirty target
Fail to mount /system as rw
i have no idea what else to try
