Nexus 10 does not boot after Update

After attempt at installing software update to Nexus 10 tablet will not boot. Have wiped Cache and even then did a factory reset. Nothing. Google appears and then twirling colorful dots and nothing. For hours just twirling dots., Samsung and Google and Best Buy geeks says nothing they can do. No longer under warranty but very upset since tablet was working great until update. I am not very tech savvy but can anyone help or do I just have a new paperweight? Thanks for any advice.
I have not made any modifications to the tablet.

Just flash the newest factory image. Get it and the instructions to flash it from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

yes flash the newest image

After getting a notification of the latest update I went and rebooted for the update to install but it went to the twrp recovery and nothing happens, is there a way to install the update?

as a newbie .I'm not allowed to reference your link !!
I rooted my nexus 10 using xda instructions., installed CWM. All good. I tried backup and recovery and screwed something up in recovery. Got stuck in recovery mode reboot loop. Many gyrations, no fix, so I tried factory reset. Still no fix.
I decided to install a new version of the OS using the Mantaray tar you reference above. UBS connecting and fastboot. All messages look good. Now I have the problem reported in this thread. Stuck with flying balls and no boot. Very interested in any suggestions you may have.

So you keep just boot looping into twrp, right ?
Did you try installing a custom ROM through adb or just connecting your device?
If it keeps boot looping you gotta to wipe the full storage.

No, on a normal reboot or a shutdown/restart it's fine no problems there but when I try to install the update via system update it reboots into twrp. I attach a pic of my system.

Oh I see, well, you should just flash a custom ROM or if you want to stay with official factory images, you should just follow instruction there:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
What you do need is just have fastboot executable once you are into the bootloader.
You can easily access the bootloader from twrp : shutdown > reboot into booatloader

Cool thx for your continued help :good:

The problem is due to your attempting an OTA update with a custom recovery (TWRP). You can only do OTA with stock recovery. Once you are in this situation, your easiest way out of it is to simply apply the latest factory image using "fastboot", but this will also wipe your user data so backup any photos, music, etc. before you start. You will also have to reload programs from Playstore once the new image is installed.

That's doesn't make sense, can you explain what it means? Which recovery, which rom was installed and was working? You wipes system and data, ok. What did you do then?

For cos12.1 stock rom you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/how-to-make-device-stock-t3515921/post70007487

Cm13 you can flash it though twrp.

You didn't understand or read my post... You need to flash stock firmware with fastboot. I didn't wrote flash it with twrp.
Use the all in one tool. It's called so, because you can do all with it. Like downloading stock rom and flash it :good:

Use all in one tool to boot into bootloader. Read carefully or your next step is qfil method
Here's a good guide in case you're don't get it through aoi tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/general/qpst-method-how-to-unbrick-to-stock-t3506833
But better to check again if you can flash stock cos rom with tool

Phone has no OS at all after rooting

After doing the root method located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/instruction-to-root-h918-10i-t3536472 my phone only boots into twrp and only has the twrp file on it. When i try to reboot into system it just sends me right back into twrp. I have no idea how that happened and i might of done the impossible but, is there any way to fix it? It's a T-Mobile 10j V20
Update: Tried installing therom from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-maximum-ovrdrive-lg-v20-v2-0-t3518475 and yet it still only shows twrp folder and wont boot to the start screen

Yeah, MEGAROM wise it will take you into aroma installer which you can choose exactly what you want, like you can chose to flash magisk or supersu, lg sounds or pixel etc... Of everything else fails then just grab kdz file and flash through lg up

That is awesome! I hope it finally works and lets me see that beautiful start screen

It did not, and LGUP isnt working with a Failed to load error (5)

sounds like ur in a twrp loop.. are you checking to see if system is getting mounted in twrp?
there are a few ways to fix a twrp loop, try booting into recovery using the vol down method, and see if just hitting reboot works,
if not, fastboot commands that address this would be fastboot erase etc; fastboot erase misc ; fastboot erase fota ; and then reboot and see if it boots.
be aware boot up times take a lot longer then usual when you root, as the aboot is a little slower.
you could also try the twrp file manager route and delete the above directories also, etc/misc/fota/cache
if you have never done a FORMAT data with twrp you need to do that 1st and remove encryption as the stock rom is encrypted and will not boot after root.
Wipe using format data, type yes, then wipe the directories i mentioned and then flash the stock rom mentioned by the other member then reboot and let it sit for 15min. If it dosn't instantly shoot you back to twrp then ur good, just wait wait wait for that long 1st boot to complete.

Unsure what I did

but ....... I am in twrp unable to reboot into my rom. When I click on Install I see all these folders with letters and numbers and what my original folders.
Can somone help me boot into my rom again?

You will more than likely need to format data. This will cause you to loose everything. But that is what you are seeing, those folders, are your data. Just encrypted.
Also make sure you are on the latest version of TWRP. Sometimes the older unsupported version had encryption errors.

Omg this saddens me! So there's no way I am unable to at least retrieve my pictures?

First time entering in twrp after flashing update, I did not get folder to flash magisk, did a reboot and get it, just a bad encryption code I think
Did u flash rom or anything else before getting this problem ?

Yup, I sure did! 4am couldn't sleep so I thought I would finally put a fingerprint mod on; which I have done this before with no issues. For the life of me, I don't remember which mod I tried to install thru Magisk.
My phone is currently stuck on "Phone is starting"
I also think it's time to look into some sort of automatic back up service..... Got any ideas?

Use msmdownloadtool, have u tried using magisk uninstall in twrp with zip file ? Then boot and uninstall the "****in" fantastic module... maybe it works

I did try to uninstall Magisk in twrp using adb shell. I never had any luck with that msmdownloadtool and not only that it relocks your bootloader.
I usually go this route [ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP6T] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6T https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516

Good luck !!

I saw this happen when I used the official TWRP app.
It went away when I used this TWRP. Hope that helps.

I'm glad you already know not to use the MSM tool. Too many people jump straight to this.....
You just need to boot the correct recovery and your data will decrypt, and you will be able to back it up to a PC, then you can reload your ROM via TWRP or Fastboot to get the phone bootable again. So now it's a question of what ROM were you running before. Do you need a recovery with the latest security patch or something older? What TWRP are you running. Try 3.3.1-6 psychen6 linked too first. Boot that image from Fastboot. See if your password/pin will work to decrypt your data.

[Solved] LG G4c H525n twrp bootloop

Problem caused: Factory reset in custom ROM, causing the phone to boot into twrp (even when plug in charger)
Method: refer to post #6 below
Anghirrim_shared_drive (Maintained by Anghirrim)
OP: Tried to perform a factory reset on LOS 14.1, it didn't go as plan. The phone boots into twrp, after I tried to flash LOS 14.1 over MM_rootable. The phone keeps booting into twrp, even though there is a ROM installed.
I assume I messed my boot partition tho?

Did more searching on this issue, from other model of phone also experiencing similar issue. It was a twrp bootloop.
my best bet is to grab a boot.img and flash it.

@Anghirrim sorry to interupt you, but do you have any method for fixing this?
Currently stuck at twrp. even I tried to boot into system/ download mode/ bootloader etc. It just bring me back to twrp. Couldn't use LGUP becoz I can't get into download mode. now I stuck with a phone with only twrp.
Tried flashing MM_flashable and return flashed successfully, but still boot into twrp.
Edit: Tried to plug my phone into a charger, brings me into twrp

Hi, did you try to factory reset it under stock flashable firmware ? Because if you did so, it will bootloop into TWRP trying to reach stock recovery.
