I got this phone from a friend. I tried to install TWRP via ODIN, but I've had some trouble. Initially, when I installed TWRP it didn't appear after I rebooted the phone. After doing some research, I found that this is normal for stock ROM's, and that they tend to replace any custom recovery with the stock one. I learned that in order to access TWRP, I need to remove the batter before rebooting, and then reboot directly into TWRP without letting the OS see the light of day. But when I get to TWRP, the touchscreen breaks. I can't interact with anything. I can still boot into the operating system just fine, but doing so removes the recovery, and I can't interact with TWRP outside of locking it by using the power button. I think this issue could be solved by installing a custom ROM, but I don't know if that's even possible without TWRP. This seems to be a loop of nothing, never going anywhere.
All I need is for the touchscreen to work in TWRP, I can handle the rest from there. Thank you for any help, and Happy Holidays!
Edit: After further research, I've discovered that the problem could lay in the recovery I'm using. I'm trying to install the latest TWRP version found in the link above, but I've tried almost all of them. Is there any information on any specific version of TWRP I should use?
Hey.
Just installed TWRP from the guide on XDA (will post link later). Odin worked, everything was OK. Until I installed a ROM.
I have tried 4 different ROMs withone outcome - phone wont get past first boot screen - the one witn Samsung S-+ Powered by Android. No matter the minutes I wait, it just stays there. No Samsung logo as normal boot is displayed.
I can freely get to recovery or bootloader. But there is a problem - I dont know the precise string full model number after G955F*. Therefore I dont know what stock image or bootloader to choose.
My questions:
1. How to get back to working phone?
2. How to check the full model number in this situation?
TWRP works perfectly. Odin works. Just System wont boot...
Thanks in advance!

Hey
Can you delete this message because I made a mistake
Sorry
But I thinks you need to flash the right boot loader and try to install TWRP 3.1.1-2
I'd like to give this Nuclear ROM a try. My device is bootloader unlocked and currently has no OS on it. My device was rooted and last thing I tried doing with it was installing the recent stock Nougat release. Reading that one thread I never went through the steps of restoring what was needed I believe in step two to be able to put stock Nougat on it.
I don't care about stock anymore and will try out this ROM. Holding Power and Volume Down I can get to the options for recovery mode/etc. When I select recovery mode the device reboots and sits at the bootloader unlocked screen. Regardless of which option I select the device reboots and sits at the bootloader unlocked screen. If it's bricked so be it. If it can be restored can anyone point to a thread or have any suggestions?
Flash full stock Nougat:

Files for fastboot you have to find:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/page1
After one boot you can flash twrp & custom rom, f.e. Nuclear. @lip008
Thanks. I just needed a refresher. Everything for fast boot was installed and TWRP was still in the folder. For some reason i thought i was worse off than i was.
Back up and running with this NucleaROM. I may retire the s8+ and go back to this as my DD.
Hi,
as the title says, my phone is not booting anymore, after I transplanted the motherboard from a frame with a broken screen into a new frame (from china).
Abbreviations used:
RR => Resurrection Remix 5.8.5
CWM => ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.4.6-kitkat
TWRP => TeamWinRecoveryProject 3.2.1-1
I was using RR from the Rock Stable Setup on it before and it worked beautifully.
What happened:
I performed the mainboard-transplantation according to the iFixit guide
I held the power button to boot the phone:
It vibrated
It showed this screen for a couple of seconds
It vibrated
Back to step 1
And that until I removed power.
Then I tried to boot into recovery mode by holding the key combination on boot:
Same as above, but with this bootscreen
Then I tried to boot into download mode by holding the key combination on boot:
The warning to confirm download mode poped up and I got to see this screen.
I connected it to my PC and opened odin 3.09 and it recognized the device.
I tried to get adb and fastboot to see the device, but nothing worked. (In the old frame and before I broke the screen, it would be recognized at this stage)
I flashed TWRP with odin, odin showed the green "PASS!", but booting to recovery still failed.
I proceeded to flash a stock ROM, which had worked when I had issues with RR.
It worked, I went through the Android 5 setup process, enabled debug and connected adb.
adb saw the phone.
I rebooted to recovery and stock recovery booted correctly.
Sideloading anything with adb failed due to signature verification.
I then went back to download mode and flashed CWM successfully.
It now boots into recovery, but whenever I try to flash anything with CWM, it fails showing this screen
Or something similar (the photo comes from flashing RR 5.8.5)
I have both linux and windows properly setup and used both with adb, fastboot and odin (only windows)/heimdal (only linux).
I checked drivers and usb cables.
I opened the phone back up and checked all connections.
But I can't get any version of RR, CyanogenMod or LineageOS on there.
I've searched the internet, but people that have these kinds of problems after replacing parts of their phones, seem to only have driver issues or skipped steps in the manuals of custom ROM installations.
If you have any idea on what I could try or what I'm doing wrong or not doing, please leave an answer.
I'll keep this post updated below here:
(no updates, yet)
Thanks so much in advance
Simon
Your picture shows stock recovery not CWM .
Try flashing TWRP recovery through Odin .
I did flash TWRP and afterwards there was no recovery anymore.
When I flash CWM, I get the recovery shown in the photo.
The stock recovery has a black background and no touch controls for me.
What you saw must have been CWM.
Update: I can flash twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar and it works. It's the only image that works, but I still can't boot into or flash any custom OS.
The only working OS I have at the moment is a stock android 5.0, which is not all that useful...
If anyone has an idea, why I can't or how I can find out what is causing it, please say so.

What do you mean by ANY ??
Well, exactly that.
Regardless of what zip I flash, I end up with a bootloop.
If I flash a recovery zip, the recovery bootloops, but the OS still boots.
If I flash a custom ROM, I can still boot into recovery fine, but booting normally results in a bootloop.
The only way to get software onto my phone has been via odin and only an old CWM, Philz Touch, TWRP (Version 2.8.7.0 and below) and STOCK Android (Versions 4.3, 4.4.2, 5).
Anything else I have tried so far did not result in an error, but I couldn't boot into it either.
If you have ideas for software I can try flashing, please tell. I really have no idea how to get the damn thing to work again...
What happens when you flash correct stock rom via Odin ??
I mean that I can boot into it after flashing it via Odin.
But its terribly slow and bloated compared to ROMs like ResurectionRemix, so I don't want to use it.

In that case phone is OK .
Usual is that user is failing to follow instructions .
Not sure what you mean by fastboot on a N9005 .sounds like not a N9005 .
Personally with TWRP 2.8.70 i would be flashing something like .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-magma-nx-rom-t3508672
as its correct TWRP .
I am able to follow instructions.
Thank you very much.
I followed exactly the same procedure that has worked many times when switching between custom ROMs.
Also, the phone has a perfectly working version of Ressurection Remix installed at the time my frame broke and it did get stuck in the same bootloop after replacing the frame, even thogh the software was exactly the same.
I am looking for help analyzing the boot process and some way of capturing the kernel log when booting to determine where the error occures that traps the phone in a bootloop.

Dear Mate..
Have you solved your problem? I have same problem after transplating N900 frame.
Sorry, I gave up, since I dearly needed a working phone and bought a OnePlus 3 cheaply from ebay second hand. It's been working like a charm and I threw the note into my museum after I softbricked it for the n-th time and couldn't get it out of a bootloop that didn't leave me time to go into Fastboot.
Sorry friend, but I can't help with this.
after reading a lot of similar threads, seems like the hardware is the cause of us not able to update to higher versions of twrp(& custom roms)
After failing with installing different versions of TWRP om my tablet (There is no working version on TWRP for my model- system revert itself to the Stock recovery mode), at some point I noticed, that I can power on tablet and get to Welcome screen and start tablet configuration, but right after 20th seconds system freezes for few seconds and reboots over and over. If I just power on system and let it stay without touching screen it will reboots after 20 second.
If I go to the Recovery mode, there is not reboots. I did system hard reset in Recovery mode no help.
I thought it is problem with ROM, and flashed Stock Rom with Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant. Same issue with reboots, then I tried some other ROM’s regions with same issue. Before I got this issue, other ROM’s used to work just fine.
QUALCOMM flash utility did not help as well.
I am just interesting is this issue with System board or it is software issue and I can fix this.
I have the same issue. I have been able to root through a patched boot image, but cannot get recovery to flash no matter what. It says all went successfully, but then always reboots. I have the 2GB version.
I just want to install an updated ROM since lenovo abandoned our devices.

I've just spent days trying to get my TB-X704V to flash. I finally found out how. The issue I ran into is the recovery mode never worked. I found one that did. Big caveat here. Once I flashed the recovery image, I could no longer boot the stock rom.
I found the recovery image looking for X704A, and ended up with the files at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QyUGBPi-KZrhSVFLOCs3lHUZ59fpe9KL/view (not my files). This is Chinese/English version. You can change language in the menu.
Follow the directions on flashing it at the quick boot menu and unplug and go into recovery mode.
Download the latest lineage OS: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117916469
Install the OS. The initial boot will take a few minutes, but it will boot.
Most of what I found was in the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/twrp-root-tab-4-plus-tb-x704l-f-tb-t3664407
Thanks @yener90 for your work!

Thank you so much, I was able to boot straight into TWRP using that Chinese/English image. I spent days last week unsuccessfully trying to boot my TB-X704V into the twrp-3.2.3-0-tb_x704l.img recovery image, but it never took no matter what I tried.
