Hello my fellow v20 users. I'm in dire need of you wisdom and guidance. Today I was getting ready to hand my phone to my brother so I did a factory reset. My phone is a Sprint V20 rooted and bootloader unlocked with the dirty Santa method and I had installed the us996 deoxed ROM on it.
Everything was working perfectly and I enjoyed the phone very much. However after I did the factory reset in TWRP (I did the plain swipe to clear reset) the phone just rebooted into TWRP again and again and no matter what I do. I already have tried reinstalling the same us996 deoxed ROM I was using to no avail, I have tried another ROM and the same result.
I tried following some advice which I found on the forum that said to wipe the phone in a certain order and then install the ROM and then pull the battery and the same result it boots into TWRP. At one point I even tried flashing a different TWRP and I lost the ability to boot into recovery wahtsoever! However flashing the TWRP I was using before that granted the ability to get back into the recovery but now I'm back at square one. No matter what I do the phone always boots into TWRP. I really am at a loss here and don't know what else to try or do. If someone could please help me I would really appreciate it. I can also let someone remote connections to my PC if that would help. Any help would be really appreciated.
Edit (SOLVED!) Many many thanks to user Jinkerz9430 for all his help and the solution to my problem. He will post the solution for other people to use.

But there are several threads that have been created for the exact same situation. And some of them have the answer you are looking for. One of them is the method i have used every time to get out of the loop (which rarely happens to me). Have you looked inside those threads? They are inside the Q&A section or the discussion section.

I'm sorry I have tried looking everywhere and tried many suggestions in those threads, at this point I wouldn't be able to tell which ones I tried so far. Could you please tell me what worked for you? Or point me to that thread? Thank you very much in advance.

Try to install lineageos or resurrection remix or aokp. And see if it runs. Then if it runs, wipe everything and go back to stock.

A very entitled approach. You must suffer from affluenza!
Double-posting doesn't make people help you. If nobody has responded to your first post, it's because A) they haven't been on to read it yet, or B) the people who have read it don't know how to help you.
Just wait, you'll get a response. Otherwise, bump your original post after a day or two.

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any help. I was half awake this morning and accidentally took OTA even though I'm rooted, yes stupid move. Now I can't get out of TWRP no matter what. Tried recovering to an older backup, tried reflashing an older rooted stock I had, absolutely no luck, phone just boots into TWRP.
Please advise.

When I turn my phone on it goes into boot loop. I tried accessing TWRP but it's not good either, it would just show the startup screen and nothing will happen. I don't know how this happened because my phone was working perfectly last night before I slept. I didn't charge my phone so when I woke up the battery was drained. So I plugged in my charger and turn it on, it'll just go into boot loop just like what I said earlier. Please help. I have read that I should flash stock through Odin, but where can I find it? Please help. Thanks!

Thanks, I actually know that I have to go to that site to download the firmware, I just needed some confirmation haha! But this here is my real (stupid-ish) question, is it possible to recover/access my data? Will it be lost after flashing?
When my device was bricked a bit times... I flashed the firmware and all my data wasn't lost it just changed the system and did not delete any data... But make sure u only flash the firmware version that was present before u bricked your device....
MOST of the times it doesn't delete any data☺

Oh that's good to hear, but what do you mean by flashing the version that was present before I bricked my device? How will I know what version was present before?

Okay, thanks! Well, I have a custom ROM before and it's version is 6 the stock firmware available is 5. What will happen then?
@leosrw It works now but unfortunately I lost my data it asks for a factory reset so yeah they're all gone. Well, no worries, they're not that important anyway. Thanks for your help!

Yeah, I think so too. Well, I'm fine with loosing a bit of data. They're mostly backed up anyway. Well thanks for helping me. Now, I know what to do if there'll be a similar problem in the future. Thanks!
So I've been rooting and all that since the Samsung epic and I'm very competent when it comes to these things, but given this is the first phone I've ever had with a fully locked bootloader and no custom recovery, I have a few questions regarding using flashfire as a means of backing up my Rom. I'm on stock, and already rooted, my questions are:
1. Are all of the backup functions (esn, system, data, etc.) working properly for this device? I'd really like a full backup including esn for peace of mind because I intend to try echoe today.
2. What's the process to restore said backup? I'm assuming it saves to my external sd, and I just restore to stock, root, and restore the backup after I reinstall flashfire? Just want to be sure because I know if I screw something up with flashfire I can brick this thing.
It's all customizable. I use the normal backup and check Efs also. It will prompt you as to where you want to save your backup and what you want to back up. When restoring, it shows your backups and you select and restore. Yes all functions work properly

Thank you, exactly what I needed, one more question, have you tried backing up to adb? I see the option there and that would be the preferred method as it wouldn't take up space on my device and I'll still have it when I need it.
