Rooted my tab 4 prior to trying to install BlissPop for the Galaxy Tab 4. Root checker verified that I was rooted. Installed TeamWin's recovery and followed these steps exactly
*Make sure you are rooted.
*Make sure you have a custom recovery installed. (TWRP is the preferred recovery)
*Download the latest Bliss Rom & the latest GApps package.
*Boot into recovery.
*Perform a FULL factory wipe and wipe/system and dalvik cache as a precaution
*Flash Bliss Rom
*Flash Google Apps package (for 5.1!)
*First boot may take up to 10 minutes
Now I am stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 sm-t230NU powered by android start up screen. Before I flashed it said that it appeared my phone was not rooted but idk how this could be as I root checked and installed TWRP...I have rooted like 5 devices so far and have no idea why this happened....pretty disappointed right now as I FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER and now this happened. I can't even get it to boot into anything after using odin to reinstall the bootloader...what's going on...this is so frustrating...:crying::crying:
Are you sure you cannot boot into recovery? (Volume up + Home + Power, then release power as the device reboots) I honestly doubt it's a brick.
If you manage to get into recovery, then boot it into "Downloader" (or whatever the stock recovery calls it), send over a proper recovery like TWRP via Odin on you computer and then restore your backup (you DID make a back-up, right?). And if you don't have a back-up, get the official stock ROM from here, and start again.

Are you sure you used the right version of TWRP, ie the one for the SM-T230/NU? I ask because you mention BlissPop and I'm fairly certain there are no BlissPop builds available for the SM-T230NU. When flashing custom recoveries and ROMs, you have to make sure the model numbers match
Edit: you should've used this TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-7-t230-t2835264 If you used any other TWRP build, that would be why you ran into problems
I am trying to flash my N4 with cyanogenmod following the official wiki.
I'm at the point where I've installed TWRP into recovery, I've wiped everything (I've even formatted them since I couldn't wipe all of it initially), and the only error I see is "unable to mount /usb-otg".
Then, I've "installed" the CN zip files for the 13 and 12 versions, none of them works in the sense that when I reboot the system, I'm always coming back to TWRP.
What's wrong? Any suggestion?
Thanks
I've the same problems with my nexus 4

Hi gerardgerard,
I also wanted to flash my Nexus 4 with Cyanogenmod 12.1. So I installed TWRP into recovery and wiped everything, like it's explained in the wiki. I can also see the error "unable to mount /usb-otg". When I want to reboot the system I always get back to TWRP. Cyanogenmod doesn't boot correctly. Did you find a solution for the problem?
same problem
Hi
I'm having the same problem. As follows:
Cause (my mistake): I have been using Cyanogen-mod nightlies for a couple of months on my Nexus 4, and made the grave mistake of leaving the phone to upgrade one night but without it being plugged in properly - and it ran out of power part way through! (At least, that's what I think happened).
Fortunately, it would boot into bootloader and I could use adb/fastboot. I (re)installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 (from my Mac, using fastboot). And that works fine - I can boot into twrp ok.
Next I loaded the latest nightly from cm (using fastboot - is this what people call sideloading?) and used twrp to install it. It goes through the installation fine (the only error message is that it can't mount /usb-otg). But when I reboot it just goes back to twrp.
I then tried installing the earlier cm nightly that I know worked, but with the same result.
Finally, before I first installed cm I did a backup (using twrp), and I have tried recovering that. It seems to do all the right things, but again when I reboot it just goes back to twrp.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Flash back to a completely stock ROM and run through the set up to make sure everything works. Then copy CM to the phone, reboot to fastboot, flash twrp, immediately boot into recovery using the volume and power button without leaving fastboot, wipe data, cache, system, flash CM, reboot.
If the phone will not boot after flashing a stock ROM, boot to fastboot, flash the userdata.img file, and immediately go to stock recovery without leaving fastboot, wipe data/cache, reboot.
It works now!
I managed to fix the problem ... I found this guide for the Nexus 5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
and I applied those instructions. It didn't work first time, so I just repeated them and now it's working. I used the 5.1.1 stock downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam.
I guess this is what audit13 means in their post - so thanks are due there.
I will next reinstall twrp and cm and I don't expect any problems with that (having done it successfully before).

I have a US Oneplus2 that is stuck on the animation when it boots. I can get into TWRP and Fastboot, latest TWRP works and can also use an older version that I had.
I made a TWRP backup that I pulled off onto another computer. I then installed OOS 3.5.1 (I think) to do some testing. Once I was done testing, I decided I wanted the latest lineage as my backup was a 6 month old version of the latest at that time. I used TWRP to wipe the data, cache, and system to then install the latest Lineage 14.1 11/24/17 and gapps mini and micro (tested both). It gets to the lineage boot animation and the ball goes back and forth forever. I have left it over night and it's still going. I have rebooted the device, installed lineage several times, moved to 12/1/17 today with the same results.
After messing with it for hours and days, I decided to just put the TWRP backup back on the phone and then update from there. Well... my custom animation is load but the animation is also going forever.
Looking for some help on what might be wrong with the phone, thanks.
Make sure everything is formatted as ext4 and update firmware to 3.6.1 just to rule it out.
I would use the latest twrp.
I go to format tick all the boxes and clear everything then go to reboot > recovery. Once back in twrp copy the ROM and gapps across from pc install ROM and gapps together, wipe cache and dalvik reboot.
I'm in the process of doing that now.
The TWRP that I'm using is 3.1.1-0 which looks to be the latest. I am working with OOS 3.5.8 but will look at downloading 3.6.1. I am working to get Lineage 14.1 on there once everything is stable.
I ran into another weird is when using the qualcomm recovery tool:
My method is to enable ADB, enable OEM Unlock, enable Advanced Reboot.
Reboot into fastboot
Fastboot oem unlock: is successful
Fastboot reboot
I then go through renabling ADB and Advanced Reboot, OEM Unlock is still enabled.
I then reboot into fastboot
Fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-oneplus2.img
This completes successfully and then I fastboot reboot.
I have tried several times to get into TWRP but I keep getting the stock recovery.
I have tried to reflash recovery but nothing ever changes.
Is there possibly something wrong with the OEM unlock that says it was successful?
How do I go about troubleshooting this?
Ok, I fixed that and install OOS 3.6.1 and then was able to install TWRP 3.1.1-0.
I then wanted to install Lineage 14.1:
I then formatted Cache, System, Data, Dalvik... everything but internal. Should I wipe internal as well?
I copied over linage 14.1 and open_gapps for the same build micro.
I now am back to getting the Lineage Boot animation.
Thanks for helping since I'm trying to get Lineage to boot.

Internal doesn't really matter to be honest, did you check they data and system are formatted as ext4.
It is in twrp advanced wipe options.
Did it ever boot ?
I did doubt check the data and system are formatted as ext4.
I let it sit for 3-4 hours and didn't see any progress.
Try a different rom. There are a lot of lineage based roms around.
I tried that and am getting the same results. Even if I flash a full TWRP backup from a time when I had it known to be working it happens.
I've tested this with 3 different roms now. My latest attempt has been to update TWRP to 3.2.1 and then install lineage 14.1 20171208. I also tested with Paranoid and Carbon because they were near the top of my list not because I know anything about them.
The phone just never gets past the boot animation. If I reboot to recovery is there a log I can pull to see what the issue is?
Thanks
Would like to see if anyone has any thoughts. If I run OOS I can use the phone but as of right now I can't use any other rom.
Is there any advanced fastboot or wipes that can be done to get it to boot. Is there any type of debugging that will show me what's happening when it tries to boot.
Just trying to bump this, I really need a way to debug this problem. Besides running OOS, I have a feeling this device is bricked and the mega unbrick guide doesn't work.
Also looks like if I try to put Kali on top of the base 3.5.8, the phone goes into the animation loop. So any change after OOS on the device puts it into an animation loop.
Is there a way the system or boot locked? Even thought I can TWRP anything onto the phone without errors.
Hey!
I've got the same issue it seems, phone just sticks to boot animation when flashing any other ROM than OOS 3.6.1.
Any update?
EDIT :
problem was with the persist.img
Flashed a different firm file and it was resolved

OOS does not refuse to boot if a mountable partition is corrupt. This is not the case with lineage. If a mountable partition is corrupt and the corresponding fstab entry does not allow lineage to format and somehow mount it then init never proceeds
Try flashing this file: https://glassrom.botstack.host/firmware/oos-3.6.1-firmware-signed.zip and try again
Note that this file reboots the device after the flash is done so don't use twrp queue to flash this file. Flash this file last

Alternatively this is a method I don't recommend to beginners because they accidentally give twrp logs to devs without realising it
You can get logs by making the forcing the device to "crash" through the power button
Here's how it's done: you boot the non-booting ROM and wait for about a minute. Then press power + volume down while it's on the bootanimation. You have to hold it until you see the oneplus logo and boot to twrp
TWRP's kernel will recover the last booted kernel's log from ram and place it in /sys/fs/pstore
First you have to open the log yourself to check if it's valid. The file is console-ramoops-0. All other log files in that location are invalid for your specific issue
Now for an ordinary user this is hard. They can't tell if the log is a recovery log or a ROM log. Since we're dealing with official lineageos we assume selinux would be enforcing
You want to search for this string "permissive=1". On Linux just do cat console-ramoops-0 | grep "audit" (quotes are part of the command)
If you're on windows then you can download Linux and get the logs. Stop bothering me
If you see the string "permissive=1" in the log you have accidentally fetched a recovery log
Go back and boot again and wait for about a minute if selinux is permissive
The string should read
"permissive=0"
That means selinux is enforcing and this is indeed a ROM log
Send this log here
Hello,
Was this problem ever solved? I am experiencing the very same thing with every single ROM i have tried so far. TWRP is installed, I can install all ROMS but when I try to boot the phone, it just won't get passed the booting animation.
Thank you
I'm having a very difficult time getting this phone setup. I can get very, very close... but then it starts boot looping into recovery.
So starting at the beginning, here is what I did:
- Booted up phone, make sure it works and connects to wifi (I find out later that it got encrypted, even though I didn't set a PIN).
- Inside the OS on first boot, I install and use the official bootloader unlock APK from Asus.
- Rebooted into the bootloader and fastboot flashed TWRP.
- Rebooted into TWRP and flashed the Oreo modem, current unofficial Carbon OS 6.1, nano gapps, and magisk 16.6.
- Rebooted and the Carbon ROM logo comes up. It works for about 2-3 minutes, then reboots.
- After many attempts to decrypt (and a lot of help from the forum), I successfully restore the phone to "WW_ZE552KL_14.2020.1712.85_M3.10.47.15_Phone-user.raw.zip" with the Asus tool.
- Phone is fixed and booting again to the OS, but I'm back to square one.
Second attempt:
- Thinking I need to flash the raw Oreo ROM (instead of just the Oreo modem), I use the Asus tool to flash "WW_ZE552KL_15.0410.1803.55_M3.10.47.19_Phone-user.raw.zip"
- The phone works fine and is now an Oreo ROM with an Oreo modem
- It's still unlocked, so I rebooted into the bootloader and fastboot flashed TWRP.
- Rebooted into TWRP and flashed the current unofficial Carbon OS 6.1, nano gapps, and magisk 16.6.
- Rebooted and the Carbon ROM logo comes up. It works for about 2-3 minutes, then reboots.
- After the reboot, it goes to TWRP... whether I just let it boot on its own, or press power when it says: Start - Continue to boot >
What am I doing wrong?
You're having a rough go at this one eh.
I know we talked about this before, but did you try a factory reset and wiping cache/dalvik before rebooting?
Yes. As we discussed before, you can't wipe cache from TWRP. So I'd wipe dalvik from TWRP, then reboot to the bootloader to do a "fastboot format cache".
I'm going to try a different ROM later this afternoon. Maybe that will make a difference.

Hello! I've been able to boot any ROM by:
1. flashing TWRP
2. rebooting to recovery
3. installing the ROM zip
4. rebooting to bootloader
5. fastboot continue
But when I restart the phone, it always boots to recovery(TWRP), so I have to repeat steps 4 and 5 to boot the ROM, which is
Could you try and tell me if it works for you too?
I'm gonna take a moment to read about the boot process in depth, as it seems there is no straightforward solution to this out there.

1) Flash Oreo RAW (can be downloaded from @Saktis_STi' s unlocking thread.
2) Boot till system
3) Flash TWRP
4) Flash ROM, Magisk, GApps
5) Reboot
The reason why it reboots to TWRP is because of 'encryption' thingy.

many many thanks! I was able to get Ressurection Remix working by now
your steps were right, and I will detail them better to tell how I made it work for others reading this thread:
1) Flash Oreo RAW
1.1 - @Saktis_STi's thread is a bit outdated. I downloaded the newest firmware from Asus website.
1.2 - I also had to find a recent recovery.img, which I think I got it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/original-recovery-img-boot-img-zenfone-t3572188
1.3 - I used the stock recovery's adb sideload to flash the stock ROM
2) Flash TWRP - all good here
3) Flash ROM, Magisk, GApps
3.1 - I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik.
3.2 - I flashed RR ROM, GApps and Magisk (EDIT 2: install all three before the first custom ROM boot, or GApps won't work)
3.3 - Performed a Factory Reset
4) REBOOTED TO GLORY!
For what it seems, the stock ROM encryption that is performed on the stock's first boot was the enemy.
Now one last thing... In Security -> Encription, my device is NOT encrypted.
Do I run the risk of ruining everything if I encrypt it?
EDIT: No, it didn't break, working fine

Anyways, enjoy your phone running on custom ROM :good:
So i might have ****ed up
I have a Xiaomi MI9 that im not particulary impressed with the miui interface so i figured, lets install a custom OS. That ended up with a device that wont boot to paranoid android, instead sends me to fastboot menu no access to TWRP. This is what i have done:
1. got access to bootloader through xiami webpage
2. Installed twrp
3. through twrp Installed Paranoid android (PA)
4. through twrp installed Gapps
5. rebooted, phone stuck and eventually got into twrp again
6. tried again, same results
7. This is where i think i ****edup, i wiped cache, data, dalvík and system
8. reinstalled PA and gapps
9. now it only boots to fastboot.
Question 1, what did i miss, why didnt it boot paranoid android?
Question 2, can i just re-do the process and install them again (given i didnt miss anything first time)
Question 3, i assumed i didnt have to root it as i was installing custom rom anyway, was that assumption correct?

Try to format /data
