Hello to all.
I have a problem which i think i made into a bigger problem.
I have oneplus one 64GB original from the company .
after not succeeding in flashing PA, though i do have some rooting experience from my old S2 this is completely different.
OK so the thing is i tried following instructions by the letter, and installing PA on the phone but all i got is "failed" message.
i think i did it with the toolkit, i unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, wiped and installed CM12 .
after that i couldn't install Paranoid Android. "failed"
after that i just tried "whatever" using toolbox and toolkit and i got to a point that i think i'm lucky the phone works!
it was stuck on rebooting to fastboot.
So i restored the backup i had from two days ago and now i have CM12 nightly with root privileges.
PLEASE help me install PA.
mistake.
A. Don't use a toolkit. You don't need toolkits with one of the easiest phones to mod.
B. Update your recovery.
C. Factory reset in recovery.
D. Install ROM and gapps.

When switching Roms, you have to go to wipe, and factory reset from within the recovery.

Thank You!!!
I can't believe it was THAT SIMPLE!! all i had to do is install the recovery from the TWRP app and choose the latest one.
I don't know why it didn't recognized the old one.(i had TWRP recovery installed and that's what confused me)
After installing the latest recovery, all is good !!! Thank you!!! :good::good::good:

This isn't my first android root but I'm stuck. I followed the video for rooting my Nexus 10. Got stuck in a boot loop but was able to flash cwm but still in boot loop. I tried doing the factory reset and now cwm is gone too and still stuck in boot loop. Do I need to reflash the stock recovery and if so where do I find that to download?
flash tbe cwm recovery again via fastboot, transfer your custom rom of choice from your desktop to your device, wipe data (factory reset), then flash that rom via cwm. btw, this is a galaxy nexus forums

and the recovery flashed fine? did you "fastboot devices" to make sure fastboot can see your device? sometimes these recoveries need to ne flashed a few times before they take. try flashing it two or three times in a rom. did you try twrp recovery? you might like that recovery better.
op, rename/delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p and reflash your custom recovery;
RANT: GOD DAMN IT, WHERE'S MY NEXUS 10!!!??? BEEN WAITING FOR 2 GODAMN MONTHS! - Sorry, it's just that I've been going through some **** to get my hands on one - AND THERE'S PEOPLE WHO'S GOT 2!!!
FOLLOWUP:
I ran MSkip toolkit and it repaired everything. I got a failed on renaming my recovery images so my stock recovery images are just gone I guess? Anyway I'm good. Rooted and repaired thanks to Skips toolkit.
Thanks for all the help!
-------------
It appears to be flashing fine and yes it sees my device. I tried multiple reflashing this am and still no joy.
I reposted in the right place and got some help but not done yet. I think mod might delete this thread since I have the other one going.

After rooting my N7 a few weeks back, I have tried flashing at least 3 different grouper custom roms through TWRP 2.4.2.
After flashing the rom, when I reboot from TWRP, the N7 gets stuck on bootscreen logo of the respective rom. I have to use Nexus Toolkit 1.6.3 to reboot into TWRP and restore from nanroid backup of stock rom, and everything works fine.
Why are Custom ROMs not being able to boot past the bootscreen logo?
I would appreciate help.
Thanks in advance.
You should give us more info... What's your device, which rom you want to try, what steps did you do to flash the rom in recovery?

Nexus 7, I have tried flashing simbean 4.2.2, latest XenonHD and another which i have forgotten the name (all latest grouper versions).
I downloaded ROMs on my PC from XDA.
Copied zip file into nexus 7 via USB cable.
Rebooted into TWRP 2.4.2.0
Wipe System/ cache/ dalvic cache
flashed Rom (indicated flash was successful)
Rebooted from TWRP
bootloop (getting stuck at the bootanimation of the custom rom)
Used Nexus Toolkit 3.6.1 to reboot into TWRP
Restored my stock rom from backup.
Stock Rom working fine.
Ive tried flashing faux kernel and an aroma installer for boot animation change, which has worked fine both times.
When you are in recovery, first go in wipe menu and do a factory reset, wipe system (optional), install the ROM and reboot and all should be fine.
Maybe try flashing with a more recent version of TWRP, 2.4.4.0

--------
Fastboot flash the latest recovery image from here...
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper
...and then try again, flashing your preferred ROM in recovery.
--------
Don't know if it will work... but it's got to be worth a shot.
What is odd, is you seem to have no problem NANDROID restoring back to stock...
Anyway, hope you get it sorted.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Hi,
My nexus 4 was perfectly running the 4.4 kitkat when all of a sudden I received an OTA for build KRT16S. After the installation my phone didn't boot up and it's been stuck on google page ever since.
Details:
Rooted
twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
ART runtime
Encrypted.
My phone restarted straight into twrp, I typed the encryp. password and it started to install the new update automatically and it said successful.
I restart and it gets stuck on google page.
Please help guys
Many Thanks
You probably have too many customizations and especially running custom recovery. OTA is meant for stock Android.
Do a factory reset in TWRP and see if it boot. Otherwise search for a stock KRT16S rom in the development section, and use the TWRP sideload feature to install it.

Thanks eksasol, I had the stock Android installed on this nexus and I got the ROM straight from google.
I will try doing a factory reset or installing the ROM from sideload. but would any of these erase my data?

Doing factory reset in TWRP won't wipe your internal storage, but it will clear your installed apps and its data ofcourse. Just don't select to wipe internal storage in the advance wipe. Installing rom zips will not wipe your data either.
If you want to backup everything from your internal storage, just connect the phone while in TWRP, then type: adb pull /data/media/ C:\backup\
I wiped and installed a fresh copy at the end and its working now.
Thanks eksasol for your help.
How do i mark this thread as resolved?

Just edit your thread title and write SOLVED before the title.
While trying ti install CM 11 from TWRP i managed to brick the phone. I dont want to waste time sharing the details unless it's need to solve the problem. The main thing is that my phone is now stuck at the LG logo. Previously i was running the CM 10.2 Stable Build.
How can i get back to working condition? Either CM or Genuine LG Rom, I just want my phone to be up and running.
Please Help. I am really scared at this moment.
You don't share any details so I have to guess...
Enter recovery like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifi-ArGeTzQ , restore your Backup or flash another ROM, done.

I can enter both the modes shown in the video.
The thing is i was running CM 10.2 with a TWRP installed of version 2.6.3.2. I downloaded the CM 11 and went into TWRp to flash it but it couldnt flash the CM11. Then after searching the net i found out that TWRP 2.6.3.3 or higher is required to install CM11. The problem is that i wiped my dalvic, data, cache and system and did not keep a backup. So when the Cm11 wont install i was stuck in the TWRP as i didn not have the 10.2 rom file in the phone.
Then downloaded the TWRP 2.6.3.3 and also a CWM zip (just in case). Using ADB i tried to update the TWRM but still some other error shows up. Tried installing the CWm still some error shows up. i tried installing again and this time the recovery asked me to install superuser (though i was rooted). I selected YES and after that i am boot looping in the lg logo.
Anyways thats basically what happened. Now how do i get further and make my phone work again?
Please help brother. I am in deep trouble.
Thank You
Man... always keep a backup, you know, just in case
Shouldn't be a problem at all. You have ADB access right? So here is TWRP 2.6.3.4 those are flashable ZIPs.
Push the file, flash with recovery, reboot to recovery again and you should be on 2.6.3.4. Then flash CM11 and you are good to go...

So you can't enter the recovery like shown in the video? And the command adb reboot recovery doesn't work either?
At this point your only option is to return back to stock and start over but with a recovery from the link I provided in the other thread.

Ok then i will follow this process and hopefully be successful in getting my phone up and running.
Thanks for the help. Downloading 2Gb will take some time. So will post the result tomorrow.
Regarding rooting and installing custom recovery again, i will do that later. For now i just want my phone alive.
Anyways Thanks again everyone for the helpful information
Try getting to download mode right now. Because if you can't get to download mode you can't use the back to stock method
from my Note Thrizzle
Thanks everyone for the help and support. I have successfully reverted back to Stock LG Firmware.
I have some questions.
1. Do i have root access anymore?
2. Is my previous custom recovery still in my system?
3. If no for both then please help me with the appropriate article to root, install custom recovery and then install CM11, as my previous recovery was not able to install CM 11.
Thank You
I decided today to try and root my phone and followed the steps on this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/nexus-4-guide-unlock-bootloader-root-t2266654
I had unlocked my phone and installed the latest version of TWRP. Now I can only boot into TWRP and bootloader. My phone is not being picked up by my PC. I tried a factory reset and format of data on TWRP but my phone still only boots into TWRP.
Is my phone permanently bricked?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
I actually have just made some progress now. I've managed to get the phone connected to the computer by going into ADB sideload and installing the ADB drivers again on my computer.
Typing ADB devices in CMD now shows my device as connected.
Any advice on what I should do now?
What happens when you try to boot it normally? Is it stuck at the boot animation or does it go directly to the bootloader or recovery? Since you already had to wipe everything you could try flashing a factory image via fastboot.

Booting the phone normally loads it into TWRP. Booting the phone with the volume key pressed down loads the bootloader. I think I may have just wiped the OS present on the Phone.
I want my phone to be rooted running CyanogenMOD (phone is currently unrooted). Should I first install a stock rom then root by installing SuperSU and CyanogenMOD or can I just skip installing a stock rom and install SuperSU and CyanogenMOD?
Thanks for the help
You could try flashing a cyanogenmod zip from TWRP, and if that doesn't work I would suggest flashing I factory image.

But my phone is not rooted yet. Can I install SuperSU by copying onto my phone and installing it through TWRP?

Yes, if it is a zip file. But I'm pretty sure installing cyanogenmod will automatically root it for you.

I installed SuperSU then CyanogenMOD and lastly GApps. It still only boots into TWRP and it doesn't look like there has been any files added to the phone's storage. Should I first flash a stock rom and then try to install CyanogenMOD?

Yes, try flashing a factory image. If it boots then you could try flashing cyanogenmod.

@hwweiler, No friend there is no other way.Please before do this as is one direction way take the pain to look on my post #180 on zaclmon's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/wip-aosp-7-0-nougat-t3448444/page18 and keep in mind that is impossible to return back on any nandroid backup u kept e.g to 5.1.1 or M furthermore its also impossible to flash any rom zip if u use this N (WIP) rom,the only way to have a workable phone again is to flash the stock rom from scratch.Exceperienced with and never again untill we have the appropriate solution..The twrp used and i still use on M is TWRP 3.0.2.0.The possibility to return on LP ffrom M and reverse still exists but not when u flash this rom.
