As the title says..
i m not able to install any custom rom, however i do have a backup of my o.s
but problem arises when i try to flash a zip the twrp simply restarts.
so i thought to return to my stock rom.. same thing happens again. while selecting my backup to restore again twrp restarts.
literally i have no o.s for my phone nw.. as i have cleared the dalvik, cache, system. tried every soln.. all in vein!!
any idea how to restore my phone rom??

i think your twrp might be crash or something.

I am having a problem installing a custom ROM... I root the device using CF-Autoroot and Philz Recovery. TIBU confirms the phone is rooted.
I boot into recovery, then try to install a ROM which is on the ext-SD card. I do a full wipe using Philz Recovery.
When I try to restart the phone, I get a bootloop, NO MATTER WHICH ROM I am trying to install. Then I have to go through the hassle of downloading the original firmware using KIES
and start all over again.
Any help or thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Wipe before flashing
You must do the full wipe before flashing a new ROM, not after (Because if you are wiping /system after flash, you are leaving your device without OS)
And remember, flash gapps after first boot, not after flashing The rom
P.S you can do a full Nandroid Baclup before flashing a new ROM, because if you get stuck in bootloop again, you can simply enter to recovery and restore backup
Thanks for your input, but that's exactly what I did.. except for the backup part.
I have the batman rom installed on my g95ff now since my stock rom got boot looped when i tried to flash a boot logo that was a size too big.When that happened i flashed the stock firmware with odin aswell as stock recovery and it let me clear my cache/factory reset my phone to fix it.Sadly i lost my bootlogo and boot animation collection i had stored but i had most of my important apps backed up with titanium,so to make up for the lost data i rerooted with twrp,installed the batman rom and restored my apps back.The rom is really neat since i can customize more ui things such as the status bar aswell as my nav bar color which couldnt be done on the stock rom.So now that im familiar with installing roms,would i be able to try other ones simply by reflashing the stock firmware over the batman rom and reinstalling twrp?
So you're asking how you can try other custom ROMs?
You don't need to flash the stock ROM and flash TWRP every time you want to try a new custom ROM. It's MUCH easier than that.
You just need to backup your apps as normal with Titanium Backup, then boot into TWRP. From the Wipe menu, wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik-cache.
Then just flash the new ROM zip file as normal in TWRP, and you're done.

So as long as you wipe your phone you can install custom roms over anough anoughter custom rom.Sounds simple enough then.

Yep, the "System" partition is where the ROM is installed. When you wipe that, you're essentially wiping the ROM from your phone.
Hey,
i have TWRP installed and had the samsung galaxy s8 port running for about 1 year without problems. Since a couple of days it doesnt boot into the ROM anymore. So i went into TWRP and tried a restore of a backup. The backup process just freezes somewhere and i have to restart the phone. I also tried clean flashing a couple of ROMs but every installation is crashing.
TWRP has never crashed before so i'm guessing Hardware is broken?
Or is it possible that it ****ed up my partition table? it always crashes when trying to install or restore system partition. Also repairing the file system fails with error 4.
Any help is welcome, thx!
flash newest twrp again, partition, full wipe and install rom. of that doesnt help thsn flash stock with odin and go all the way to custom
Before going into the subject, I'll say that I have tried to seach this matter in XDA and Google, but nothing showed up.
Okay, so my matter is that I can't restore my backup of stock rom(8.0) after I flash a 8.1 rom. I've backuped with official TWRP "recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img".
My procedures are :
back up stock 8.0(system, data, cache, efs) with official TWRP "recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img"
flash oreo rom(with wiping internel, data, system, cache) and boot it fine.
restore my stock backup with same TWRP
boot system
The results are :
Goes past boot logo
Boot animation('android one' with colors sliding) shows up
and... just infinite loop of boot animation.
The ROM I used is RR.
I think the main problem is related with encryption.... Just my thought, tho.
So what I'm asking is :
1. If you face the same problem as me?
2. If you aren't and you restore goes fine, please tell me your procedures including ROM used and TWRP used.
3. Whether it is safe to decrypt stock rom?
Thanks in advance!
You don't need to flash stock ROM again. You have a system image backup(system, data, cache, efs), right? Wipe data , system, cache if you are coming from any other ROM. Then reboot to bootloader. Boot into latest TWRP from Fastboot (don't flash). Then go to restore and restore the system image you had backed up. Don't restore efs if you haven't lost your IMEI.
I've done exactly as ypu told, but it doesn't boot...
Did you manage to restore without problem with your method?
Yes I was able to. No problem here.
What TWRP did you use? Also, what ROM have you flashed?
Used the latest TWRP by MohanCM for Oreo. I did it when I was on Lineage os and wanted to go to stock
@guy_infinity Okay, thanks for your answer! Gonna try out later, once more.
Hmmm.... Still didn't boot up.
I thought I had to do everything from the begining, but flashing stock with save userdata option rescued me.
P.S. does anyone know about the error E: recv error on uevent?
try flashing stock rom using mi flash and after flashing restore normally using latest twrp/deadman's without system image voila everything will be back
@arjunbalan1994 Big thanks for your suggestion! Will try that too later
Hi, did you solve your restore problem? I have the same w/ my Redmi Note 5 and stock Miui backup after flashing RR.
Thanks for your help
I was use 8.1 root and twrp recovery. Yesterday fastboot flash may rom and update 2nd may OTA
Don't understand : May rom is Miui rom?
And did you restore your miui rom 8.0 backup ith twpr after the fastboot flash stock?
Hi guys, I need your help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T550 and I wanted to wipe its content. The tablet was rooted, and it had TWRP as recovery.
I rebooted to recovery and wiped System (probably the guilty), Data, Cache and Dalvik with TWRP, then I pressed "reboot" and it told me "no os installed".
So I tried to flash a custom rom, the JazzROM, but still it's stucked at the logo screen (it restarts itself after 10/15 minutes and then again stucked).
What can I do to solve?
I'm able to access to TWRP.
Thanks!

Download and install the stock firmware.
I suggest in future you use TWRP for its intended purpose. Make a full device backup prior to modifying anything.

Thanks ashyx, I have flashed the one that I found on Sammobile, and now it's working
And yes, you're right about the backup, I forgot to do it
