i dont remember but i believe its the last one downloaded it a couple days ago
if its 3.0.2-2, that might be your problem. Its buggy. Flash 3.0.2 and then reflash your ROM

any idea where can i find official unbranded OS for my SMG900F ? thank you
The same thing happens when you try to install a kernel that is not properly supported for your ROM. Try flashing a different kernel for your device and baseband.
TWRP recovery > Install > kernel.zip > wipe delvik/cache > reboot

hi guys,
my find 5 was having some reboot issues (it was rebooting a few times per day) and that was a bit anoying. I was using an old original FW so i decided to update to a newer one. Heard good stuff about the Omni so i went for that, so i was using TWRP 2.4.1.0 (i think... i'm sure it was 2.4.x) and on the omni page they said we have to use TWRP 2.6 so i went for an update.
here, i think, i've created my problem. I used the new flashify app to install the TWRP but instead of choose recovery img i choosed to flash the boot and i guess i'd flashed the TWRP on the boot.
well anyaway, now i'd installed the TWRP 2.6.3.1 i manage to start the phone in fastboot and recovery all good here, i install every rom nice and easy over TWRP but the phone simply doesn't start, it gets stuck on Touchscreen Firmware Update please wait.... this happens ALWAYS with what version of TWRP or even if i install CWM...
my guess is that i'd messed up some partition or so i don't really know what but i'd tried to format every partition that TWRP let me and still getting the freackin Touchscreen Frim updt screen... so need some Pro help to help me undo the mistake i'd done...
thanks for everything
On the official Oppo forum's there's a guide on how to install the latest Omnirom. Under known issues it says:
5)After installing the TWRP recovery the Screen Touch firmware update goes on for more than 5-7 minutes, do a hard reboot and you would be fine,

I haven't tried it myself since I didn't get the problem when flashing Omni and Asylum, but it seems to be worth a shot.
In case you are looking for the topic, search for "How to Install OmniRom 4.4".
I rooted my phone installed twrp via autorec--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496 . Then I backed up my phone through twrp and then I rebooted and put the newest cm11 stable build --> http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=snapshot&device=vs980 on my phone. (I put it in the download file of my phone if that makes any difference), then I went to twrp and wiped everything but internal storage and proceeded to flash cm11 which i found in my download file where I put it (it was a zipped file) and I flashed it, then it went into a boot loop! Currently installing the recovery in twrp that I just made. I do not know what I did wrong could someone please enlighten me? This is the first time doing this sorry if its a noob question.
Thanks.
FYI the recovery worked my phone booted up fine. Also it is a VS980. I do have the verizon variant.
UPDATE:
Tried flashing again, this time with gapps as well (forgot to the first time) same results, flashing the recovery again rn. I AM CLUELESS!!!!

Would uninstalling autorec do anything?
flash the latest recovery from here. Then afterwards check if you have the right version for your variant and check the md5

Again this is my first time getting this far so here are some noob questions: Would I just flash the zipped folder in twrp? Would I need to wipe anything? Would I need to create another recovery? Would it delete my old recovery?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Also why would updating twrp make such a big difference?
Just Flash the zip File for your variant then Reboot the recovery and go to settings and hit restore default. Don't wipe anything for changing the recovery. And this will just update the rec nothing else
Hey guys need a hand with something,
I was just in the process of flashing a blisspop 5.1 to my galaxy s5 and now Ive ran into difficulties. Phone did a full boot and launched perfectly however when I was restoring my apps through google play I accidentally hit quit and exited the installation. So therefore to restart the process (as I didn't know another way) I hit factory reset. Phone rebooted however it tried to reboot into recovery but the recovery wouldnt boot (twrp) and the trwp screen just kept flashing. Pulled the battery and it rebooted to recovery again with the same bootloop issue. I can get into download mode and am thinking of reflashing twrp but need help before I brick my phone!
Thanks!

you may flash TWRP again in odin and after that I suggest you flash ktoonsez.zip TWRP after that so you have a stable TWRP

Would it be better to reflash twrp or should I flash stock firmware? I really don't want to lose this phone as I bought it less than a month ago.

you may flash the TWRP first if the problem still persist then the only choice you have is to flash stock firm then reflash TWRP, then after that I suggest you flash in TWRP the TWRP by ktoonsez because it in zip file most of us s5 user uses his TWRP
also dont be afraid as it would not hardbrick your device as long as you can access in download you are always safe., first day of my s5 I root it already and flash custom rom

NP happy flashing again
So after a week of just bootloop, black screen of death and hard reset my rooted s5 suddenly open again.
Now that its open again what can I do to fix this? Cause im afraid that if i'll restart my phone i will get stuck in the bootlooop.
Suggestions?
Just to give you an update my s5 has been rooted for the past 2 years ...its just now that it got stuck in the bootloop.. im not really sure what caused this cause havent installed any apps that could affect the system...
Any ideas how can I fix it while its working again?
Would help if you gave us the model S5 it is, which firmware it's running, recovery etc?
Its g900f using stock rom... stock recovery
Please see attached file
Thanks in advance.
Download stock ROM using samfirm (or sammobile .com)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Put phone in download mode
Connect to PC USB > add .MD5 ROM to AP section in ODIN 3.10.7
Flash
Boot to recovery > Factory reset
Any other fix without flashing?
Any other fix.. that doesnt require flashing?

Why don't you want to reflash? If you're rooted you should have backups.
Ok I think I missed that part... ok so if I flash, everthing will be wiped out right?
How do I back it up?

No it won't, and for a proper backup you need TWRP recovery
If your phone is having problems like it is, you very likely need to flash
Just flash the stock ROM over the top and your apps and data will remain
But backup photos and important files first by connecting the phone to USB and copying to PC
Forget about apps, you can reinstall them if something goes wrong
Ok thanks im starting to understand it now.. i just need to confirm a few things before i start doing it...i have watched a few vids and ok i think i missed installing a custom recovery... ill install it later and go with cwm...
Flashing the stock.. means getting my firmware(which has the size of 1gig+) in sammobile ang flashing it using odin right?
Read my 2nd post
Thanks alot got it! One last question , suppose that im not going to lose my apps but am i going to lose root once i have flashed the stock rom?
Yep, just root again, instructions are all over the forum, easy to find
Because you're getting bootloops, I suggested factory reset too, that will wipe the device, the flash won't, the reset will
I assume here's the steps that i need to take
1. Back up through cwm
2. Flash stock rom through odin
3. Clear dalv cache
4. Factory reset through recovery or from the homescreen setting?(will this removed supersu?)
6. Root device again
5. Restore back backup from cwm recovery?
Better method:
Flash TWRP 3.0.2.0 (Much more powerful recovery)
Make full Nandroid backup in TWRP
Wipe everything apart from Internal and External storage
Boot into Download Mode
Flash stock ROM with ODIN 3.10.7
Reboot
Now boot back into download mode
Flash TWRP 3.0.2.0 again
Boot into TWRP
Flash systemless SuperSU 2.72 beta or whichever is the latest beta atm
Don't restore your backup or you could end up with the same problems as before, I recommend using TiBu to restore your apps and data from the backup you made in TWRP

Unlock your bootloader and try again
Hi guys,
So I wanted to update my phone to a newer ROM, was using an Android 6.0 ROM that I liked a while ago so I decided to get an updated Android 7.1. The ROM worked fine and OpenGaps Pico installed fine.
Once I knew everything worked I downloaded the Aroma package from the OpenGapps app and then ran the install.
Unfortunately the install crashes almost instantly, then the phone reboots into recovery and runs the installer again. So I am stuck in a bootloop of it failing to install.
It says at the top "Running OpenRecoveryScript - Installing Zip"
Put battery into phone, power on, boots into TWRP recovery, crashes on "Starting AROMA Installer", reboots, LOOP.
Many thanks,
Ollie

It's known that TWRP 3.0.1 can't handle Aroma installer.
I'm not sure if later versions were fixed.
v2.8.7 will not fail for sure.
