cannot root, recovery problem, even twrp

hello. i have ale-21 and after i tried install a failed update, i am in this situation:
1. can't root because after flashed recovery for root i can't access in recovery (black screen)
2. even if i flash twrp it can't be able to wipe for error mount.......
i tried reflash vendor 049 and return to b133 firmware but same situation.
is there a way to do a complete re-format phone and repartitioning all (internal memory and all partitions) to return to stock status?

Stuck on patching system image unconditionally when flashing oxygen

Hello
I had a problem with my phone earlier today where it would reboot one or two minutes before it started, so I install twrp recovery and tried installing Ota 009 which I found here on xda, how ever now I'm stuck when I'm trying to install it?
Thanks in advance

Did you flash the whole ROM or only the OTA file?
For the latest version (2.1.2), as there is no full zip, only the incremental file, you need to flash the FULL 2.1.1 and then directly the 2.1.2 in TWRP.
You can flash only the OTA file alone if your system is stock and untouched (no root / TWRP).
In your case you need to flash the whole ROM then the OTA.
Check this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863

I'm trying to flash Oxygen OS 2.1.1 the full rom but it just get stuck in TWRP nothing happens. Im using the rom from that thread you just liinked

Try wiping dalvik cache, cache, system, and data. (NOT INTERNAL STORAGE) then flash again.

How to revert from Marshmallow to KitKat?

Hey guys! I am running 6.0.1 AOKP ROM on my A6000 plus, and wanted to revert to KitKat for a few days. I found this site
http://www.techolite.com/34431/lenovo-a6000plus-pure-stock-rom-recovery.html
And downloaded Lenovo A6000 plus KitKat stock Rom. However, while flashing this ROM via TWRP, I got an error that the zip is corrupted. So I downloaded it again, but it gave me the same error What's the problem? I did factory reset and wipe all cache and Dalvik cache before flashing, so why won't it flash?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I too always have some problem while reverting back to stock kitkat. Try this cwm recovery. Flash the stock KK using this. It'll surely work.
And, in case, you can flash this recovery, just boot into it at once by using
"fastboot boot recovery.img" in adb and fastboot tool on pc.
And then wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and flash ROM

Cannot update to 4.5.14

Hi,
I have a rooted OP5 with 4.5.13.
I tried to install the flashable zip (from here) via TWRP without wipe, but ended up in a bootloop.
I've restored to the nandroid backup, wiped data, and tried again. This time the OP5 managed to boot only to recovery.
I've verified the md5 of the file I've used.
Do you know why this is happening? Do you know how I can upgrade to 4.5.14?
Thanks.

Did you download the full ROM or just the update?

I tried both. I didn't succeeded to install the update (as it is not intended for rooted devices).
The full rom is what caused the bootloop.

If you are doing a dirty flash you wipe cache and system. If you are doing a clean flash you wipe cache, system and data. It doesn't sound like you wiped the correct partitions when doing your flash. You also need to flash Magisk or SU after the ROM flash and before booting up or you will lose TWRP and root. If your phone is decrypted for some reason you also need to flash a no verify zip or your phone will boot loop because OOS is made for encrypted phones.

Tried to flash to stock and got Encryption Unsuccessful

I can still boot into twrp but can't get OOS to run. It's asking for a factory reset but don't I have to be in OOS to do that?

You need to flash stock firmware and wipe via stock recovery, backup userdata first

I figured it out, thanks.
