Trouble with TWRP - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running the new mm soak on my xt1575 and I have twrp 2.8.7.0 installed and working, however I wanted to update to twrp 2.8.7.1 using fastboot but when I do I get this error:
(bootloader) Invalid boot image
(Failed) remote failure
Any ideas?

It looks like I need to find a copy of the boot image that came with the mm soak. Anyone have it by chance?

Did you try flashify to flash the recovery?

No, I didn't think of that until I decided to totally return to lollipop and start all over with the soak

Now I am getting the error:
(bootloader) Invalid boot image
Failed (remote failure)

You're flashing it as a boot image which is incorrect. You need to flash it as recovery

Is your OEM unlocked?

This is strange. Your TWRP image is probably corrupted, it should read it easily.

I figured it out, it was a bad download. I downloaded it again and it worked fine

Is it normal for it to take forever for mm to boot up after installing the new twrp?

When you install a new recovery, it automatically deletes the optimization (Dalvik) for all applications. First time would take forever and then after that, the boot times are slightly slower. Yes it's normal.

[Q] Bricked ...

Hi all. I have my phone rooted and TWRP installed. However, I wiped my system after installed TWRP. Fortunately I installed back a rom "Clean ROM" by ADB sideload but after that whenever I press "reboot system". It brings me back to TWRP bootloader. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? My phone is ATT LG G2. I will be thankful if someone save my phone!
Hopefully you can load the backup you took...supposing you used TWRP to follow file numero uno. Not being sarcastic but all these developments are new and potentially dangerous.

I am a newbie :crying: I was actually on stock rom and installed TWRP. However, I couldn't reboot back to system after I flashed an img file by flashify. I was stuck at TWRP bootloader. I thought there was something wrong so that I attempted to wipe data if I could go back to system. unfortunately I wiped SYSTEM and got stuck at TWRP. Therefore, I installed back a rom to my phone by adb sideload to see if I could have my phone back. And It turn back to the first problem I had. Cannot reboot to system again. I am wondering if it is a problem of TWRP or the rom that I installed. :crying:

Worked for my AT&T G2 when I couldn't boot past the LG logo.
Can you sideload the stock rom. ..not clean rom version? Them flash with TWRP. Alternatively browse this forum for return full stock including recovery.

For the first solution, ADB cant read the rom somehow :crying: And I am going to try the second one. It takes me 10 hours to download the rom tho Thanks for helping me anyway
Use LGtools to restore to stock
I bricked my bootloop many times and this tool will replace all files like the iPhone DFU mode does or like Odin on Samsung, there is a few steps involved so read and re-read.

hope it helps.
no need to kdz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
everyone go and read development forum, lots of useful stuff
Also maybe you should get a download manager like FDM top assist with download speeds. And always MD5 them before flashing so things like this are less likly to happen.

I don't think you have a choice but to go back to stock. Have you tried going into download mode? Power plus volume down. Also have you tried to factory reset? You might wait for more responses.

If you can get into recovery or flash a recovery you can the adb pull sdcard and you can get all your files

You should still be able to flash a recovery. There is a tutorial of how to do this in fastboot mode in the zva update thread. You will first have to flash a different aboot.img

couple questions before I root

I just bought this phone 2 days ago to replace my GS3 and I've been spending hours reading the forums and watching YouTube videos.
I had cm11 running on my Galaxy and I'm wanting to put it on my G2.
Rooting it looks easy enough and the IOroot will Be a breeze. Looking at recovery install it looks like there are 2 methods. Loki flash and Flashify app. Do you have to have the loki patch applied to use flashify and write the recovery? Or can you just flash it with root and be good to go?
My next question is the loki flash how to says twrp 2.6.3.2 and I need the 3.3 version for cm11. I read in a thread somewhere about the recoveries linked there being loki patched and using one not patched would bootloop the phone? Or can I download the twrp 2.6.3.3 and flash it via adb with the loki exploit instead? Some of the posts make it sound like twrp 2.6.3.2 is required for loki to work? And if so the best way to upgrade the recovery from there?
I'm not a newb to flashing been doing it for years just making sure I have a full understanding for this devices methods.
Edit: I use google chrome as my default phone browser and on xda the text in posts all compresses together and overlays sentences ontop of each other. Is there a way to fix?
No you do not have to just change recovery name from recovery.loki to recovery.img then flash with flashify

Thank you, I found a loki'd recovery file for 2.6.3.2 and a post with 2.6.3.4 with the loki patcher in the zip it looks like. I'm assuming once I flash the loki'd 2.6.3.2 recovery and then flash the 2.6.3.4 zip from twrp it should be working perfectly, I can nandroid and install cm11 just fine after that?
Yes sir i never had any problems so you should be good

Thanks for your help. Very much appreciated. Looking forward to having my custom rom install back. I love everything about this phone except for its locked bootloader and the lack of notification panel settings.I miss quick toggles and would rather not have my toggles with notifications

I get that too. Its so annoying. It only happens on chrome and only on stock based roms. Real shame I like chrome but a new browser does the job.

how to install CWM/TWRP

I have an GT I9500 phone and confused for installing custom recovery. Please help me on how to install custom recovery in correct way.. thankss
The best way is to download flashify app from play store and choose flash recovery image>choose your favorite recovery>flash it
It is 99% working

That's how to install trwp. You don't need a pc to do anything. To root. i used towel root. Also install root checker from the play store. Towel root you have to google to find. Xda and YouTube are your best friend when it comes to this sort of thing

Did you manage to root your phone? Once you root it. Download Rom installer and on the left you can click on flash recovery and then flash the latest twrp. Then you download the Rom you want and download gapps too. And boot into recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache and data. Then flash Rom and gapps. Then wipe dalvik and cache. Then reboot and enjoy the awesomeness of cm

Stuck in Boot-Loop

Hi guys
I was running Digitalhigh's 7.0 ROM when I I ran this tasker profile and my phone got stuck at the boot animation. I went back to TWRP and tried to restore an old backup and got as far as the Google screen and the phone reboots back to the bootloader warning. I even tried going back to Dirty Unicorns using these instructions.So I went to Heisenberg's "Return to Stock" tutorial (number 10 here) and went through step-by-step. I cannot get any further that the Google lock screen. I can get into bootloader but (obviously) no TWRP anymore.
I am totally stressing now and I think its borked for good. Please help!!

Did you try the fastboot commands in the op the thread I linked? Mine did the same thing last night and now I've got it working good. Took me awhile because mistakes were made but it's working fine now.

Just tried.
Since I wiped everything should I try to push an old recovery with EFS and reboot?
Now I get the "Your device is corrupt and cannot be trusted">Google Screen>Reboot
I didn't no. I flashed the latest factory image of 6.0.1.
Then did the efs commands.

if i follow all of Heisenberg's instructions i will remove recovery. should i then flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 and run your codes from there?
Nope. Factory recovery is how I did everything. Once/if it everything gets up and running again then you can flash twrp 3.0.2-2. But I did everything with factory recovery.

how do i enable mtp?
So I'm still bootlooping. Please let me know if you can help further.
Figure out mtp? Sorry, was on a dinner date!
You enable mtp by pressing the mount button in twrp and tapping the mtp button. Then you should be able to do ADB commands.

No. I am still in bootloop. Thing I did was lock the bootloader as Heisenberg mentioned as his last step in his "return to stock" guide. Got rid of the warning (obviously) but it just keeps repeating the Google screen now.
Saw you were from GA, too.
Hopefully you can unlock the bootloader right now.
If you can unlock the bootloader then rma might be your only option
