Holy cow - just rooted yesterday and my phone says rebooted to install OTA ... FRACCKKKKK
Its not just stuck at the LG screen
Reboot to recovery if you still can -- use pwr + vol down, when logo appears release power and immediately push and hold power again till twrp appears.
Use adb...
adb shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fota
Reboot your phone, and then immediately go into developer and turn off auto updates.
If wiping fota alone doesn't work, then wipe misc as well. Use the same command, but change fota to misc.

Got a N7 2012 runing 5.1 - finally got fed up with it being so slow as almost unuseable so decided to install CM12 ... and am stuck in a boot loop.
I followed the instructions I found (I cant post the link) so I've listed them below:
Deploy ROM image
adb devices
adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
cd Download
#or whenever you have downloaded files
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
Choose Recovery
Now use your volume buttons to change selected item from the Menu and pick "Recovery mode"*and select it with Power button.
Right now ClockworkMod recovery should start!
Now with the same buttons navigate in recovery and select:
1. backup and restore
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. install zip from sdcard
4. choose zip from sdcard (you should find it in folder named "0", not in the root of sdcard!)
5. reboot system now
Cyanogen Mod should be installed!
did a full wipe at fastboot oem unlock .. then realised i'd have to re-push the ROM as I don't have an sdcard ... so I did that.
Managed to flash TWERP onto it (rather than CW) and got it to boot into Recovery Mode but ... the Recovery Mode and Restart Bootloader are in RED and don't do anything when I tap them.
When I try to power off and back on it gets stuck in the boot loop...
Google screen show with a padlock at the bottom, goes away and then shows up again
Teamwin logo shows up
says 'Running OpenRecovery script'
things then happen too quicly for me to track but it seems there are a list of red error messages like:
E: unable to mount data and could not find crypt footer
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and the device doesnt appear i the list when I type
adb devices
fastboot devices
Can anyone tell me what to do to get CM12 on the m/c and working???
btw, managed to break out of the bootloop but it will just start again when turned off and on.
Thanks in advance.
From what you said, you're not in recovery mode. You're in bootloader mode.
In bootloader mode device doesn't support touchscreen, you need to use volume up/down and power to select option.
To get out of bootloop and go to recovery:
1. Power down your device (hold power for few seconds)
2. Boot into recovery mode (hold Volume Down + Power)
3. Navigate to recovery (Using Vol up/down and selecting option by pressing power button)
I recently rooted my Redmi 3S after unlocking my bootloader ( yes, applying for a request from the mi unlock page and everything) (not pro not prime, just the 3S)
I was on MIUI8, the most latest version ( I know this because I went to software update page and no updates were available. lol )
I proceeded to unlock my bootloader via the MIUnlock program ( nope, no errors, no 50% stuck issues) and flashed twrp and stuff from this link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/
Then I proceeded to flash LineAgeOS and from there whenever i try to reboot into recovery ( yes, i have the advanced reboot options) it just reboots into the main os completely skipping the recovery. I found this strange the first time and thought it was my mistake. But I tried volume down+power which is just Fastboot all the time. I tried volume up+power too, it just stays on the Mi screen. But whenever i run the twrp-installer.bat i got from the http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/ it boots into TWRP. so, basically there is no twrp for me to access without me having access to a computer. I tried copying the recovery.img onto my phone and tried installing it as an image into the recovery. but same issue persists. I just can't access the twrp recovery without using a computer. Please help
Edit : I disabled dm-verify too
I had the same problem with my Redmi 3s 2/16
For me works
WITH OPEN BOOTLOADER
I flashed TWRP with Fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
>>>directly after flashing<<<
1.) Push Vol+ and Vol- and Power at the same time
2.) If you see the MI-Logo release ONLY the Powerbutton and wait
3.) With a little bit luck you are now entering TWRP
4.) If not, do not release Vol+ and Vol-, the Devicescreen went totally black
5.) Do not release Vol+ and Vol- and push now the Power Button
6.) If you see the MI-Logo release ONLY the Powerbutton and wait
7.) Then TWRP starts (for me)
8.) A few times i landed into the chinese menue, then push the recovery button, with a little bit luck you arrive TWRP
9.) If nothing helps, and the device starts normally, imho the process changes twrp back into the original recovery -- then flash twrp again and start from Point 1.)
NOTE!! If you enter TWRP the first time go to Advanced Settings and tap on --Disable DM-Verify-- .
After i disabled DM-Verify and flashed the Xiaomi.eu Rom the above worked for me without every time flashing twrp.
I worked 6 hours at this workaround

After performed wipe cache and firmware update with "Swift&Fast Slim B160 aio" ROM, the phone reboot and stuck at waiting for booting... ==> wait for 3 hours and still show the same as BOOTING.
Performed the factory reset by press Volume Up and Power, the Factory Reset is now stuck at 99%
Please help to the the phone back in working condition.
Resolved yet?
Possible idea
You can probably still load TWRP. Press and hold volume down + power at the same time to load fastboot mode.
ROM Flashing
Obtain a ROM of your choice, and note the location on your computer.
reboot your device into fastboot mode via one of the following options.
1. adb reboot bootloader (requires USB debugging to be turned on).
or...... power off the device then back on with 'vol up' + power button.
Wipe your device.
2. fastboot -w
Update your ROM.
3. fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>
Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM. Try another ROM if Swift & Fast Slim isn't working. Your file could be corrupted.
did u get things fixed?
LS997 (September 2016 security patch), got to the end of root and couldn't reboot into TWRP recovery. The device is recognized in ADB while in fastboot but when I'm at the secure startup it's unrecognized, like USB debugging is disabled.

If you've hit secure startup the phone has likely booted into regular Android far enough to replace twrp with stock recovery. Reboot into fastboot and reflash twrp (you can use the newest twrp if you want). Once done flashing unplug from PC and pull the battery. Reinsert the battery then boot into twrp via the factory reset/volume button method: hold volume down, press power until the screen turns on then (still holding vol - ) tap power repeatedly until a prompt to factory reset appears. Approving it twice boots twrp if it's installed, otherwise stock recovery will do the reset.
Once in twrp go to wipe, then format data (type yes to confirm), then go to reboot, then recovery. Once twrp restarts flash your choice of magisk/supersu.
Once one of those two is installed it makes it so twrp won't be replaced.

Did this, got to the set-up screen (languages, accessibility) and an error ¨com.android.phone has stopped¨ spammed the screen. I tap ¨stop app¨ and the pop-up comes back immediately.
I tried to fix it by factory resetting (in the settings, NOT using the volume down/power button menu OR TWRP) and now I´m stuck in TWRP. Every time I try to reboot to System, it boots to TWRP now.

Power down, then boot to twrp using the volume buttons. Use the wipe menu there to do the reset.

Wiped it, still get the com.android.phone errors.
Unfortunate, makes doing anything impossible with so many error popups.

Reflash your variant's official KDZ using [PARTITION DL] with patched LGUP leaving [aboot], [abootbak], [recovery], [recoverybak] partitions unchecked.
- Once the flash finishes & phone reboots, do a battery pull so phone doesn't fully boot (wiping recovery & encrypting data)
- Insert battery again
- While pressing volume down button - reinsert usb cable so it boots into fastboot mode.
- Follow dirtysanta guide for your variant from running step3.bat onwoards (which flashes TWRP back into your otherwise stock phone).
LS997, no official KDZ. Use VS995, but dump everything with LGUP (bar userdata) before hand
