Been trying to unlock the bootloader and root the phone for the past 3 hours. Finally realized my mistakes. Was going to factory wipe the phone and finally get it right, when I accidentally swiped right at the "Do you want to Install the SuperSU" or something among those lines, but the SuperSu zip wasn't showing up because I didn't have a password for the mount. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I can get into recovery. I tried advance wipe, format data, swipe to factory reset. All of those to go to the phone sitting at the boot animation for 10-20 mins before I try it again. What can I do? Barley bought it yesterday. The nexus 5 was so much simpler. Thanks for any help. BTW on twrp 2.8.7.2

You should also update your recovery to 3.0.2-0

I attempted to flash a Liquid Smooth rom yesterday. I rebooted into the bootloader, and chose recovery mode. I wiped all cache, then installed the zip. I followed this by installing the gapps zip immediately, which I think I shouldn't have done.
When I rebooted it, it was stuck on the liquid smooth screen for a while, I know this is normal, but when it sat there for an hour and fifteen minutes I knew something was wrong. If I hold down both volume keys and the power button I can reboot into the bootloader again, but when I now choose recovery mode, it gets stuck on the google load screen.
Can anybody help me out?

Plug the N7 into your PC before you boot into the bootloader.
You were correct to flash gapps immediately after flashing the ROM. Maybe the ROM didn't flash correctly because you only wiped caches. If you are coming from a different ROM you will need to do a factory reset. If you didn't back up your apps and don't have a nandroid, then you might want to wipe caches, format system, and reflash the previous ROM and try to boot in and backup your apps. Might not work but worth a shot if you got stuck where you are now with no app backups.

Wow, that didn't even cross my mind, I did this and I've got the rom up and running now. Thanks a lot.
I just rooted my Galaxy S4 (model SGH-I337 AT&T) (I have not installed any ROMS either) and I went to back it up once more in recovery mode but when it went to reboot, it froze. It booted up normally but then froze when the AT&T logo is spinning. I can take the battery out and turn it on but the same thing happens. When I go to recovery mode to reboot, same thing happens. I have wiped cache partition and rebooted, same thing. I have restored my 2 backups, one failed and the other the same thing happens, I have rebooted to bootloader but that brings me to a screen saying downloading... with a android guy then the only way to get out of that is taking the battery out. I have tried wiping data/factory reset but it fails while restoring data. Nothing is working! Please help. I am very knew to rooting by the way. I have Clockworkmod recovery too by the way if that matters. Thanks in advance.
I am going out on a limb here, did you do a factory reset within the recovery? If not, try that. should boot just fine, IF, you said, you have not flashed any custom roms yet.
Good luck.
If that does not work, please search ODIN, because I am afraid that is the next step.
Thank you.

Thanks for replying. Yes I did a factory reset in Clockworkmod recovery many times. Froze in the same spot. Then I saw a Youtube video on how to use ODIN and it worked perfectly. ODIN said "pass" but when it rebooted, same problem! Then I wasnt able to enter recovery mode, it just froze. Now I am able to enter stock recovery but still nothing is working. Should I try ODIN again? I am almost positive I used the right firmware too. my options in recovery are Reboot system, apply update from ADB, external storage,or cache, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. thanks again for the help
now that you have flashed back to stock with odin, wipe data and reboot.
Yesterday I tried to root my nexus 4 and I followed a tutorial. I unlocked the bootloader and was able to flash twrp 2.6.3.0 custom recovery. However, I forgot to factory reset my device before flashing the recovery. When I got to the twrp screen it asked me for my password. I entered the one for my device but I couldn't get in. I entered it in a couple more times, but still it wasn't unlocking. I pressed the back button and I randomly got into the recovery. From there I continued the rooting process but when I tried to wipe cache or dalviks cahce it always said that It failed (never got to the point of flashing SuperSU). I then tried to wipe the system but I stilled got the failed message.I had no choice but to exit out of twrp and turn off my device and when I did, I got stuck at the nexus logo. I was able to get my device back to stock and I want to root my device but I'm not sure what went wrong. Should I try using twrp 2.6.0.0 because a lot of guides I followed used that custom recovery. Also, if I use and old recovery will I be able to update it later? I also followed this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41291371&postcount=28 so I wouldn't lose my data. I tried including as much info as possible so sorry if I wrote too much.

Hey man,
I followed this guide. I flashed CWM instead of TWRP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179
Here is the version of Recovery I flashed:
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-mako.img
Here is the version of SU I flashed:
http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
Then I just followed the instructions on that post and everything seemed to work well for me
Ok do I did search first but can't find anyone with the same problem.
Started with stock 4.3 rooted, unlocked,TWRP.
Got the update notification, told it to update. It auto rebooted to TWRP and applied the update with no error. When it was done (assuming it was done progress bar finished) it went to the main TWRP menu. I told it to reboot and it just sits at the new 4.3 splash screen animation. I assumed it may take a bit so I let it sit for about 20min with no change. Rebooted it a couple times, also tried applying the update again via twrp (errors out as i woukd expect). Wiped dalvik and cache. Didn't do a factory wipe because I'd like to avoid that but still no change.
Any suggestions? Should I manually load the full 4.4 package via TWRP?
Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Same exact setup... Say exact issue... Oh and before rebooting I wiped Dalvik and Cache as "Sandard Operating Proceedure" ... I'm going to just do a clean flash at this point....

Prior to the installation of the OTA it is safer to re-install stock recovery. Root is lost but re-installing a custom recovery and SuperSu bring back root.

How can i install stock recovery?
You *could* unzip the factory image and then fastboot the recovery.img file. A lot easier is to download the wugfresh nexus root toolkit and use that:
http://www.wugfresh.com/
ty, but do u think it works, because i cant open my nexus 10 memory from the pc, since it is stuck at start up
Wug's toolkit has an option to restore to stock from a bricked system. All you need to be able to do is to get to the bootloader (press the power button while holding down both volume buttons -- you should get a dead android with a red triangle on chest).
Hopefully someone can help. There was an update on Google Play today for the Chainfire SuperSU. I ran the update, clicked the message that I needed to update the binary, chose TWRP (I'm on 2.8.7.0), and the phone rebooted. After booting, it went into recovery, tried to run something (I wish I had written it down), and rebooted again. It did this again and again, looping about 10 times before I finally held the power button. At that point, the phone tried to boot normally, but never went past the boot animation (waited about 30 minutes).
I can still get into recovery, luckily... I just don't know what I should do at this point. I am running the stock MM, just debloated.
From which SuperSU version did you run the update?
Before you do anything else, try wiping cache and dalvik from TWRP. Sometimes you get lucky and that's all it takes to stop a bootloop.
I was able to fix the issue by booting into recovery, copying the latest supersu zip to internal storage via MTP, and installing the zip manually. Once that was done, the phone finally booted all the way.

The update was from the newest one in the store. It came up just like any other app update does. The funny thing is, when I went back to look at the latest version in Play, it was definitely older. I wonder if it was pulled.

I had tried all that. It's usually the first thing I do when I have issues like that.
Hey, i am using a note 4 . Currently my phone is in recovery mode and is boot looping. It would boot for 2 secs then reboot again. i cant exit the recovery mode at all the clear any cache or stuff. I may have misclicked the normal boot and clicked the TWRP after updating supersu. Is there a fix for it?
Did you try manually copying the latest SuperSU zip file to your internal storage (via MTP, or adb), then installing it from recovery?

hi the problem is that i cant get pass the recovery mode. its there for about 2 secs then gone
I guess I'm not sure what you mean. You can't get "past" recovery mode? When you reboot (without button intervention), what happens? Does it try to load the OS partition, then reboot? Can you press whatever button combo the Note 4 has to get into recovery (as opposed to booting the phone normally?
Not sure how much help I can be, as I've never had a Note. I got off the Samsung train after the S4. I've had enough of locked bootloaders, bloatware, and crappy UIs. It's a shame, too.... as I really like their hardware.

Hey man tks for replying so promptly though. I think i know what went wrong. Just that i don't know how to fix it. My phone is now recovery booting through TWRP. But i don't remember having TWRP. Is there a way to change the boot to normal?
