Unlocked Bootloader, installed TWRP, unable to boot except to recovery - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP all went well, however upon rebooting I was back in recovery not the ROM, no big deal. I wiped data and installed a custom ROM, again all went well, however upon reboot back in recovery. Tried shutdown and restart, same thing. Tried a different ROM, same thing, starting to get worried now, as I do not seem to be able to boot except for into recovery, which I obviously do not want.
Last ditch:
Power, off, <volume> and Power -> start Same bootloader unlocked screen, then ... recovery.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
ERIC

I did the same thing you did, and got stuck where you were. I believe what I had to do was wipe every partition under Advanced Wipe, then copy the ROM over, and then install the ROM.

Wich commands did You use to flash twrp?
Maybe did you flashed it in boot partition and not in recovery partition

Thanks, Trying again this and only this works seems to work.
Last ditch:
Power, off, <volume> and Power -> start Same bootloader unlocked screen, then ... Android
Anything else as in simply turning it on results in recovery. Thus it appears that the Android is correct, it seems to be that the default boot option is set to twrp and not the Android however. Selecting Power, off, <volume> and Power ->Recovery Mode goes to TWRP.
I formated, System, Data, Cache and reinstalled without any change to the way it boots.
I also tried RR 5.8.3, AOKP and both with the same result.
I flashed using fastboot recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-n3-potter.img
ERIC

Did you flashed the opt out dm verity? Read the guide carefully.

Restored stock and then re-fashed TWRP, since had the issue (i have 2 phones, on one the second time I flashed TRWP, but the other went fine). Repeated again on the second phone now all is well.

Hi, where can I get the stock rom, and what is the procedure to install it in fast boot? I can only boot into recovery mode as well.
Thanks

[Q] Please help! Stuck on boot screen!

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.

Stock on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock Image

I had Mint Jelly2.1 installed and everything was working fine.
it started when I had used the APK Hide It Pro. I was in the process of hiding videos and I noticed that my phone got rebooted and got stock in the Samsung boot up image with the Custom Lock image.
I tried nandroid restore, 2 images, but both also failed to restore / bootup.
I tried re-installing ROM and it was successful but during reboot, it will still get stock on the boot image.
Last step.
I used ODIN to restore the stock ROM and ODIN was able to install and reset. And my phone rebooted but still got stock on the Samsung Logo with CUstom Lock Screen.
What else can I do to fix this?
Thank you.
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. I assume you now have 3e stock recovery because of ODIN. This might or might not help. If you have any questions about recovery, please use the search function for information. If for some reason you still have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), try re-flashing an AT&T ROM and Kernel again. Everything you try is at your own risk. Good luck.

I had tried to restore/flash from recovery before ODIN and it all Failed.
Anyway, the last step ODIN restore and it was still stock at the Samsung Logo with Lock image.
I left the phone to charge the whole night and this morning when I turned it on, it was able to start properly with ODIN stock ROM.
I tried to go to recovery, and can only be done manually, and it was not the TWRP recovery but the stock one, with very small characters.
I tried to install Mint Jell2.1 right away but just reboots.
I realized that I might need to root it again and downloaded the Tool and re-loki'ed/rooted and installed TWRP.
Now, I am able to install Mint Jelly 2.1 and restoring all my apps.
I appreciate the comment.
Thank you.

Yeah, every single time I ODIN back to stock, I get stuck at the splash screen also. And rebooting to 3E (factory) recovery and "restore factory defaults" works great.

I am running out of options. I thought I am already out of this stuck on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock icon.
I had ODIN to stock I337UCUAMDL and reset, Ran Loki patch / installed TWRP, intermittently it will get stuck.
I flashed Shoshock 1.9, was able to reboot and setup basic settings.
I manually reboot to check if it was able to fix the problem, but no.
I am stuck again and don't know what is the next step for trouble shooting it.
any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I got stuck to 1st boot image of Samsung with Lock Custom Icon.
I did format data/factory reset/clear cache/dalvik.. all of the wipe ootions.
I flashed a new ROM, successful, rebooted pass the logo and booted fine. I did not change any settings yet and I rebooted to check if it will get stuck again and sure after reboot, it got stuck again on the 1st image that shows up : Samsung Logo with the Lock Custom Icon.

Unable to boot into recovery (lollipop i9505)

I have TWRP installed and I booted into recovery, backed up my rom and everything was fine. A few minutes later I tried booting into TWRP again but it only rebooted the phone. It shows booting recovery above the Samsung logo then reboots the phone. I used apps like quick boot but yet still reboots the phone
Have you tried turning it off and then booting into recovery with the key combo?

Yup, reboots back
Try reflashing recovery. Or flash a different version.

Did you root it at first ? If not do so ,i also had that issue and was solved by rooting,normally root is not required for Flashing TWRP but still...
The same problem... I think the rom issue
Flash the latest stock ROM and try to enter recovery.

Nexus 4 only boots to fastboot/download mode, otherwise stuck in bootloop. Need help.

I was running cm12.1 a while ago, and updated to cm13. It broke one of my apps that i used on a regular basis at the time, so i tried downgrading back to cm12.1. The OS rebooted into twrp, but nothing happened. I rebooted but it wouldn't let me out of twrp/fastboot/download mode.I tried wiping the data and re flashing cm12.1, nothing. same issue. I downloaded a different custom recovery (a version of clockwork mod) but i believe it was in the wrong format and when i tried to overwrite my recovery with this other one in twrp, my phone stopped booting into recovery at all, and only download mode or fastboot, besides bootlooping when plugged in and not holding any volume buttons or power. The nexus 4 itself IS unlocked and rooted, and was working fine before this happened. I don't know what to do, and i hope someone can help me.

I just rebooted my phone into recovery mode using this quick reboot pro app, it worked fine, I just wanted to test out the app so I wanted to reboot. I pressed the reboot button in TWRP, I pressed system, I saw the boot logo, but it didn't boot and it just entered the TWRP. I tried to reboot again, the same thing happened. I'm basically stuck in the recovery. I didn't try wiping data and cache or anything like that, I don't want to mess up my phone more. Can someone help me out here, I don't know what to do to fix it

Or just reflash twrp with odin. This will reset the reboot flag.
As said use the button combo to boot to recovery and you won't have an issue.
