[Q] Soft brick after trying to flash resurrection

I have a G2 from Verizon (VS980).
It was running KitKat 4.4.2 stock rooted.
I run a Nandroid backup using TWRP.
I flashed the Resurrection Remix ROM.
On restart I entered a boot loop.
Turned off, rebooted into TWRP recovery, did a complete swipe (system, cache, dalvik and data).
Tried restoring from Nandroid backup and could not find any backup files (perhaps I don't know where to look but all folders appear empty).
Tried rebooting into download mode and got stuck at installing some drivers (could take 10 minutes) with nothing happening.
Screen says Rooted and I am guessing that could be the issue. I don't know how to proceed.
Can someone help please?

Download another 4.4.2 based ROM. I'm assuming you are attempting to flash a lollipop 5.0.2 ROM. Is that the case?

I ran in to that problem when trying to go from a G3 rom to Lollipop. My solution was this:
1. Boot in to TWRP
2. Plug phone in to computer (pc should recognize it; sometimes it wouldn't and I had to mount then unmount /system partition from TWRP
3. Drag and drop a Kit Kat based rom (and GAAPS if need be) from your computer on to the root of your device
4. Flash from there
Let me know if you have any issues with that. I did manage to lose everything saved on my device which led me to a valuable lesson learned, that being: once you back up the device in TWRP, be sure to transfer that backup to your PC in case you mistakenly wipe the device clean later.

Retobuzzing, thank you for the quick response. Thanks also for your last recommendation, gotta do that too next time.
I have actually found my solution reading in a post that I should try entering download mode by pressing both volume keys together while you connect the micro usb connector. That worked even though the screen gives you no feedback except for the led turning red (kind of scary at first :fingers-crossed.
After doing that I was able to follow the directions in the article titled: "How to unbrick LG G2 with stock firmware" at the Androidcure.com site.
The phone was restored to the original stock conditions and later I was able to update it to software version 26A.
Note to Forum Moderators: You can close this tread if desired. Thanks.

Yes I am!

Your assumption is right on the money.:good:
Do you have a suggestion on a better lollipop ROM for the G2?
Any idea on could have caused the boot loop after flashing Resurrection remix?

Only 1 assumption. Didnt downdate back to 12b bootloader/modem.

zuk z1 bootloop when flashing any rom

i flashed nuclear 7.1 but i encurred in a bootloop that i could resolve only with qfil tool, so i putted cos 12.1 stock, unclocked bootloader and flashed twrp, now: when i flash ANY rom via twrp i go in a bootloop that i can only solve with qfil tool going back to cos and do everything from beginning.
i tried:
change recovery (i tried CWM but i have same problem)
wipe storage (anything changed)
i tried several roms but everyone gave me the same result: very fast bootloop in zuk logo and phone vibration
the only thing i can do is to restore a backup, but since im note able to flash mm firmware (bootloop) i cant use touch id and g-sensor
what can be the problem?
any solution?
thanks

Boot and recovery partitions
Sounds like you messed up boot and recovery sections. Since you can boot up successfully, you may try to flash back to ZUI which changes these two sections completely. If it's not a solution for you, I think the only way to repair is completely format including kernel, system and partitions. You can find the tutorial on Website.

...
you can fix it just use TOOL_ZUK_Z1_ENG_0.0.6

Try flashing COS 12.1 via fastboot.

Hi!! I've flashed the NucleaRom too and for a couple of weeks it worked just fine. However one day, out of nowhere, the phone, while still on and working, restarted itself and entered a bootloop. After a few days it restarted normally and lasted a couple of hours but then it all started again. The BIG issue here is that when the phone enters in this bootloop where it remains on for about 15 seconds, it does it either in the system or the recovery/fastboot. I've managed to install two other ROMs via TWRP, when it miraculously remained turned on, but the problem persisted.
Is there a chance your problem was similar? How did you manage to flash via QFIL? I can't enter into that "emergency" or "download mode" in order to flash.
Many thanks in advance

i think that the problem is in the bootloader itself you should try flashing the latest os u have used and instal ordinary unofical lineage nightly (you can find everywhere) by this way your bootloader will be updated to 7.1 after that you can install any software i was having same problem when trying to migrate to lineage os

unable to install Custom ROM's
hi ,,
even i had the same problem like recovery was not accepting any ROMS... if we flash it ll go to recovery again and again,
and later i have flashed CM 13 with image file,, it worked and gone to recovery and updated the update to lineage OS 14.1 with Gapps..
hope it might help u...

How can I revert to factory state in my Leeco Le s3 (x522 US variant)

Hi friends! I really feel frustrated with this phone.
I began by using fastboot to flash TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-1-s2), used it to flash Lineageos 13.0, but IR BLASTER doesn't work, then I flashed 14.1 and IR blaster, Sim detection, flashlight and camera don't work correctly, I tried Resurrection remix and MIUI8 too but I gave up, neither of those Custom Roms works as I wanted them to.
So I went back to EUI and all was well until I wanted to update OTA, it gave me an error every time, tried to do it with update.zip but nothing, using stock recovery and nothing. I used TWRP and wipe everything again, now this thing won't start it just bootloops, I tried everything for two days and every time I use a stock ROM (5.8.020s) it gives me an error, or tells me it can't be read. When I factory reset and format everything it tells me I dont have an OS installed, so I'm completely lost I don't know what else to do and I can't return the phone because I'm overseas right now.
I really need to have it as when I got it the first time because at least it was functional but I just can't get it to work
I could really use some help right now :crying: thanks in advance guys!

So I managed to fix the problem. When you root this phone or in fact just flash a custom recovery like TWRP, it changes the model of the phone, If you unroot the phone you won't be able to receive OTAs anymore even if you are on stock ROM, you'll always get an error at the end of the update even if you do it manually, if you are dumb like me and didn't make a backup of your stock system, you won't find any help on the internet more than to install a custom ROM and learn to live with the errors and bugs. I did not want that so to be able to get the phone to its factory state, what I did was this:
1. Download: stock recovery image for Le s3 x522 (official, you can find it anywhere), LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip, bootloader-20S-s2.zip, twrp_s3.img (the chinese TWRP recovery) and S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip
2. Save those zips to the root of the phone, obviously the .img files you are going to flash them through your PC
3. Put the phone in bootloader mode. command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the official recovery)
4. fastboot boot twrp (the chinese one)
5. From this step what I did was pure luck
6. wipe cache and dalvik and install LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip
7. wipe cache and dalvik and install bootloader-20S-s2.zip
8. wipe cache and dalvik and install S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip
9. Reboot
How and Why did this worked I don't know, I am a noob but please try if you find yourself in the same situation as I was, you don't lose anything with trying, if this doesn't work don't blame me, this worked for my phone.
Greetings friends!

Thanks for putting this guide together, I am in a similar situation in that I reverted to stock everything (1. Installed YDSS chinese twrp, 2. Installed S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802012141S-5.8.020S.zip. This flash was supposed to have installed the stock recovery and overriden the ydss twrp, but didn't, I had to manually flash that after. Everything came back smooth but my updates also failed at recovery.
I am wondering where you got the LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip, bootloader-20S-s2.zip & twrp_s3.img from?

Nice to hear you finally got it to work ! Aren't the X520 and the X522 the same phone ? Why official ROMs are not compatible ?

[Q] Please help me fix my issue

Hi.
My phone is not bricked, but I stuck with a "test build" rom on my phone, I have no idea how to install anything else now.
First of all, I have to tell: I previously always used telephones with stock android interface, so this is why I wanted to mess with my phone, and try some other rom (for example: carbon), emui wasn't so friendly for me...
I had fully stock P10 lite dual sim version with 3gb ram WAS-LX1C432B206 (or maybe an ota update newer) when I opened up the bootloader.
Installed twrp_p10_lite_0.4.img from fastboot, and installed supersu on the phone. With the stock rom and root was everything working well.
The only thing, I noticed, the TWRP did not see normall the data partition, if i wanted to browse, i just saw directories with strange caracters in their names.
One week later i wanted to try Carbon rom. The next problem came up here, I wanted to back up my system and data from twrp, Of course the data partition always was failed. I tried different twrp versions what I have find here on XDA
- EliteTWRP-3.2.1-0_2018-01-19.img
- Huawei P10 Lite-RecoveryTwrp EMUI 8.0.0.zip
- Twrp P10 Lite Nougat By KingOfMezi.zip
...and different versions of these twrp recoveries..
Elite and KingOfMezi twrp version was working the best for me, however also not good with the data partition. Because of this i made no backup from my data partition. (honestly nothing important on my phone yet) These recoveries allowed me to Format data, then wipe dalvik, cache, data etc..
So on this way i was able to install another rom, with no any error messagesm but with no any luck...
Any Rom I tried with no emui, was failing to boot, even not starting the boot sequence..
After this I flashed Elite_Rom_v7.7_for_P9-Lite_Honor_5C_6X_8-Lite_10-Lite_by_HassanMirza01
which was booting up, but my simcard was not working in the phone..
I fixed this problem by flashing and Huawei P10 Lite-OemInfoC432DualSim.zip and using 3 button method with dload folder on an empty sdcard with update_WAS-L21_hw_eu.app and update.app (Warsaw-L21_C432B182_EU_SERVICE_androidhost.ru)
After this, Android boots up, everything works fine, simcards too, imei numbers are okay. but the build version is NRD90M test-keys (and a year old version of emui rom)
It also closes back the bootloader, which i can open up any time, and flash twrp again, almost any version i want, some of them gives me error messagesm like not enough space on the pertition(sorry i dont remember exactly for the massage) espacially when i want to flash recovery ramdisk, always fails... With the flashable twrps the old problem still presistant with the data partition: i can't read/mount. Or after a restart, i can mount, and format, but no matters what i try to flash on the phone, nothing boots up.
If i use the 3 button method, and the sd card, the phone sets back itself to this test build rom, and works just fine, But i even can't install supersu on this system because it makes fail to boot...
I thought i'm technical enough to root a phone and install some different roms just like before in the previous few years, but i screwed up something very much, and honestly i already don't understand the whole methods, i dont see thel logic behind the procedures, I lost the clue...
In my opinion the main problem must be around the data partition because its not visible from the twrp recoveries...
If anyone have any Idea how to fix my issue, i appreciate, and thanks in advance.
Greets, NSX

if the rom number version is test keys you did the step oeminfo bad, copied more or insufficient files than you need and boom the restore made incorrectly.
Obviously make a copy to the important data qnd enable oem unlock.
1- you need a sdcard, ds orr ss oeminfo and b182 or 183 depending on your system
2- insert sdcard on the phone slot and boot in twrp backup only oeminfo(copy to safe place before nothing) then replace oeminfo, restore and dont make anything more.
3- Copy b182 or b183 service rom files inside of dload folder to dload created in sdcard. 182 for ds, 183 for ss.
4- finished copy seitch the phone disconnect the microusb from phone and just do the dload method.

Hey! I have a P10 Lite WAS-LX3 dual sim. I was trying to flash a custom ROM with android Pie, I have a lot of experience doing it with a lot of cellphones, but this time I don't know what is not working, I did a complete clean installation like you did in the first part of you tread, the problem is that the Custom ROMs don't boot I tried a lot of them also tried lineageOS 15.1 just like it happened to you, the only one that works is stock ROM, When I flash the Custom ROM without errors then I reboot to system, but, I cannot pass the screen of: You device is booting now. I really want use customs ROM in my cellphone, to give to it another year. Thank you.

lg g6 h870 can't install any roms. phone wont boot

I have been messing with my phone now 2-3 days, no result. I bought this phone last year from estonia. idk how much that would help.

EDIT: Also it says system failed to mound and unmount

Probably your system partition is corrupted. Try to use rapair partition option in TWRP or just flash it first with stock KDZ by LGUP or Z3x and then go back to play with custom ROMs.
