So I have a VERIZON G2 and have rooted and also installed TWRP (via Flashify). I downloaded the Paranoid Android and Gapps files from this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502789) and transferred it onto my G2.
Next, I entered TWRP, and did a factory reset via the wipe option. Then, I flashed the PA and Gapps files in succession then did the "cache and dalvik" wipe.
When I reboot, here is where I run into problems.
The 4 color circles appear and load but my G2 is stuck there. I have waited for an hour and still nothing worked. So I entered TWRP again, did another factory reset, flashed both files, and rebooted; but still no success.
Can anyone tell me why this isn't working? I have TWRP 2.6.3.2 and the latest PA and Gapps files from the thread pasted above. Could this be from using Flashify to install TWRP?
Thanks!
You need to wipe the system. When you do the factory reset it only wipes user data and cache. I believe in twrp you have to do a custom wipe and tell it to wipe system.

How do you wipe the system? I don't see an option for that in TWRP. I only see "Advanced Wipe" and "Format Data" buttons (if that's what you call them), and the "Swipe to Factory Reset" at the bottom.
Also, in the "Advanced Wipe" section, there are options to check "Dalvik Cache", "System", "Data", "Internal Storage", and "Cache". You can check these then "Swipe to wipe" at the bottom.

In the "Advanced Wipe" section, wipe the "Dalvik Cache", "System", "Data", and "Cache". Do not wipe inter storage....
Then do a factory reset...

You answered yourself cause that's the options you should select. Don't select "internal Storage" though or you'll be wiping your internal SD
Besides that you could have asked in the respective Q&A Thread

If I recall correctly I believe you need to have TWRP 2.6.3.3 for PA to flash correctly. I would restore the nandroid back up you made, well I hope you made. Flash TWRP to 2.6.3.3 and then try installing the rom again.
Hello, I have N9005 with KK bootloader, yesterday I installed TWRP and got the message below. I still can flash ROMs (actually installed Omega with no problem). Later I tried CWM and Philz, but get the same message. Even if I try to manually mount cache it does not work. How to solve this issue? I would be glad if anyone can help. And another thing, when I installed Omega ROM in aroma and chose custom kernel, phone did not boot, with the message on boot screen was something about ''selinux kernel not ...''. Then I installed again with stock kernel and phone booted normally...
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Anyone with the same issue, how did you solve it? Is there a partition corruption involved?

Thank you very much for the instructions. Actually I somehow managed to solve the issue few minutes ago. I just used wipe cache function, left the phone for about 10 min and it did it. After that there was no message about can't mount cache anymore and wiping cache takes only few seconds from then on. Hope it is solved... Or should I still do what you suggested, fixing file system... Is it safer to use TWRP or CWM based recovery. Is it just personal preference?
One more thing if I may, Do you happen to know if there is problem with custom kernels and booting ROMs on Note 3... With custom omega kernel phone did not boot, when using stock kernel it did without problem...

No, no need to to it anymore. Glad you got your phone working again. If it happens again, try the steps I mentioned in my first post. I'd be happy if you then could report whether it worked or not. I can only guess if it's just about personal preference. Both recovery systems do basically the same with TWRP being the most advanced and easy to use. I use TWRP because of the many options and most importantly password protection to enter recovery. But be aware that some ROMs are only flashable with certain recovery systems. I can't tell the reason behind it.
I'm sorry, I can't tell you why your phone didn't boot up on Omega kernel. The best thing you can do is re-read OP and ask in the dedicated threads for help.
Thank you very much for being helpful!

Possibly because there is no OS installed, or correctly installed. Clean flash the latest stock ROM via Odin and repeat the process.

My fault. I should have clarified. Its an Alcatel phone, not a Samsung so Odin doesn't work. The phone was performing poorly so I decided to wipe the cache. It took really long to wipe. After 12 hours, it was still wiping so I decided to just reboot the device. After that, I saw the "No OS installed" in twrp. I didn't wipe the system partition, only the cache. At this moment I can't wipe anything because twrp is unable to mount any partition and I'm unable to mount any partition with adb. Debugging is turned on

Oh, ok. You're new here. That's ok. Welcome at XDA =)
First I'd like you to post in the appropriate forums. This thread and the steps I provided are meant for the international Galaxy Note 3. Applying a fix that was designed for a different device than you have may brick your phone. Always look for, and apply solutions dedicated to your specific device model and OS version. When asking for help, always tell your exact device model. There are many Alcatel devices out there, you know. They all have different hardware.
A cache wipe shouldn't take more than a few seconds. On certain devices minutes. Use google to learn how you can flash a clean, stock ROM on your device. I don't know anything about Alcatel phones. Sorry.
For the Alcatel phone, restore using alcatels mobile upgrade software with the phone in download mode.

I'm getting a download error when it reaches stage 3 which is to format the userdata. Its strange because the Alcatel mobile upgrade worked on 2 different alcatel phones that I have. I think this phone is done for.

On Note 3??
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Le Pro 3. I installed an update a few days ago over the Lineage 15.1 settings. Like always the phone restarted in TWRP and everything went fine. But after that it did not reboot normally. Instead the Recovery mode was booted. At this point I should mention that I bought the phone used with Lineage 15.1 and have never flashed Android before.
So I read a lot (really a lot) and tried everything I could find in this forum until nothing worked anymore
Last chance I found in the forum was QFIL using FlashOne.
This worked fine (after a few tries). After that I could reinstall TWRP (tried different versions) using TOOL ALL IN ONE and enter Recovery Mode again.
After bringing it back to life I decided to install Lineage 15.1 again. So first formatting Internal Storage, then wiping everything and give it a go. No problem during installation but phone boots in Recovery Mode again.
So nothing new. Next try: Installing the latest versions of TWRP and Lineage 16.
I started again with FlashOne to clean everything up. Installed TWRP version from the Lineage 16 thread.
But I was not able to format Internal Storage: "Failed to mount '\vendor' (invalid argument)"
Okay. Tried to install Lineage 16 anyways. Again 2 errors: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 Error installing zip file '\sdcard.......zip' " AND "Failed to mount '\vendor' (invalid argument)".
At the moment I am not sure what to do because I am really new to the topic. I read a lot and tried everything.
Is this a possible hardware problem or did I do something wrong/ miss anything?
Would love to use my Le Pro 3 again. Love this phone.
Thanks for any advice,
Max---Power
UPDATE:
Managed to install the latest TWRP 3.2.3 TREBLE LP3 in ALL In ONE TOOL and after that I could format and install Lineage 16 without errors.
When restarting the phone TWRP does not say "no OS on phone", so I think Lineage is ready to use.
But after restart same issue: Boots in Recovery Mode.
Please help
Okay. Still no progress.
Tried different Firmwares and started all over again with FlashOne2.0.
ATM I managed to install TWRP with Magisk over TOOL ALL IN ONE , then Firmware 20S, then a partitions.zip and then Lineage 16.
No Errors, everything was okay. Vendor is mountable and TWRP does not say "No OS installed".
But it still boots to Recovery Mode.
Can I check somehow if Lineaoge OS ist really installed over the FileManager in TWRP?
Or any other tips to verify the Installation?

First, you didn't need to use Qfil for this issue.
Okay, I am leaving my house at this very moment so I can only give you a few minutes. But will provide more details in a few hours.
Potential Quick Fix
If you can get into TWRP : Use my Recovery to restore your phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75021582
Instructions are on that page
Basics
It has to be placed on your SD card and unpacked. Use Twrp to restore and select all options except for EFS, Your EFS is not damaged and you would only want to change this in a worse case scenario.
After restoring the recovery, you will have an older version of TWRP, root and EUI.
From there you can start over.
Thank you very much for this quick guide.
You made my day already!
So I started all over again with the following steps:
1. QFIL via FlashOne
after that Windows says: You have to format the drive
2. TWRP (3.2.2 LP3) via TOOL ALL IN ONE with Magisk 17.3
3. TWRP-> Wipe-> Format data to get the full volume of the drive
4. Reboot to Recovery to get TWRP Folder created
5. Copied Backup to sdcard\TWRP
6. Wipe Dalvik, System, Cache and Data
4. TWRP-> Restore-> extracted folder
5. Everything except EFS
6. Reboot-> Recovery
7. Reboot-> System
TWRP asks to install the app, so I guess there is an OS.
Even if I reboot System the Phone starts Recovery Mode.
Problem unfortunately not solved :crying:

When you go into TWRP, Reboot to Recovery, yes check boxes to install the TWRP manager. When you boot into TWRP > do not choose read only mode.
You may have an encryption issue, which can be resolved but try this first.
Once back in Twrp, go to restore, you should see the folder that stasrt with 1970-xxx.xxx etc
Choose that
No you will see choose Partitions to restore choose everything except for EFS > then select Swipe at the bottom.
\When that is finished reboot to Twrp ,
You are now back on a clean version of EUI with Root and Twrp.

If you don't have one , Place your Rom in the SD storage, along with Magisk 17.3 and a compatible Gapps ( choose something that is still supported such as AICP of Lineage)
Flash the Rom by clicking install, next flash Gapps and then Magisk > Reboot to recovery, then reboot to system > Finished

Okay , there seems to be a Brand NEW bug with the most recent version of TWRP ( your Vendor issue) I saw this issue yesterday with someone else that I helped privately
Use this version of TWRP instead
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/recovery-twrp-3-x-p-codeworkx-t3844528
If so reason, you get the same error use an old version of non treble TWRP first and then the one from my link.
This will absolutely fix this issue, so that you can go forward.
Edit after re-reading your post -
On point 6 you mentioned wipe> Format resolves encryption, wipe does not.
Wipe> Format> type Yes> Wipe>Reboot to Recovery> Advanced Wipe> Reboot to Recovery
You do not need the partition zip files, that is for an outdated version of TWRP
Try the old version of TWRP first, install the Rom> Gapps> Magisk> Reboot to Recovery
Flash new Treble TWRP to the Recovery partition. > Issue should be resolved

So there is still a problem with your storage, did you ever change the partition type from Ext4 to F2FS? I could be wrong but I am going to guess that maybe you did> Since a format should have resolved this issue, yesterday. F2FS is a bad idea and there is no benefit. > so change it back to EXT4 > Of course only if you did in fact change the format type.
Don't worry too much, you are not the first person that this has happened to, and there will be someone else with issue next week.
As far as numbers, how about asterisks, I typed similar instruction out a hundred times within the Leeco threads, search and you will see that I used instructions with numbers a thousand times already so I am switching it up :silly:
Try this:
Click Mount , make sure that System, Vendor, Cache, Data, are selected > Click Home key
Format storage once again , Reboot to Recovery, Click Advanced> Click File Manager > What do you see here?
It should only show a TWRP folder and nothing else > If you see more that folder the storage is not getting formatted.
If you only see the TWRP Folder
Flash Rom Twice, Flash Magisk> Reboot to Recovery, ( check Boxes)
Boot to system, and see If it boots. If it boots to system > Go back to Recovery > wipe cache > Flash Gapps> Boot to system
Still have an issue
Do Full Wipe ... Yes Again...unfortunately.
flash Rom
flash Magisk
flash dm-verity & force encryption disabler : http://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe
Flash Gapps
Reboot to Recovery > Wipe cache ( only cache) Reboot to system > Did this work? Yes, thats awesome that will be $5.99
Oh my God, you still have an Issue
Let me know, there is still other things that we can try.

I did not change anything at the format of Internal Storage. Maybe it was done by the previous owner?
I tried cheking over Wipe-> Advanced Wipe-> Select Internal Storage-> Repair or change File System
But it says "Invalid partition selected" and deselects Internal Storage. Dont know if that is nomal.
45. Mount-> Select System, Vendor, Cache and Data-> Home key clicked
46. Wipe-> Format Data-> YES (prompt says "Formatting Data using make_ext4fs" so I guess thats right)
47. Reboot Recovery
48. Advanced-> Filemanager
In sdcard is just TWRP-folder which is empty.

Okay this one needs to be brief. Because, I only have a few minute at the moment.
First, I am assuming that you have tried other Roms such as a Nougat Rom. Nougat Gapps etc.
Yes? Next.
Download the All in One tool (AIT) ,
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....pment/tool-tool-one-mauronofrio-t3580611/amp/
Ensure it's up to date and not blocked by your firewall.
Use the AIT, to double check that the bootloader is still unlocked. Next, use the advanced option to remove encrypted data/wipe phone.
Use AIT to download stock Rom, to fully restore phone to stock, which should also repair any partition damage
After, phone has been restored, you can check to see that Leeco recovery has also been restored.
Next, boot to and setup the system, including through basic Google. Setup.
If you can do all of those steps to then you should surely be able to go forward and prepare the phone for a custom Rom.
Hopefully, this will finally get it.
Well that was longer than intended, and I didn't check for typos. Do look past those.

First: Thank you very much for your effort. Don't be stressed, I have time. No need to hurry with a reply!
Yes I have tried Oreo before. But lets do that again:
64. Install-> lineage-15.1-20181129-nightly-zl1-signed.zip
65. Install-> Magisk-v17.3.zip
66. Install-> open_gapps-arm64-8.1-pico-20181129.zip
67. Reboot Recovery
68. Reboot System
Boots into Recovery
Lets try AIO:
(numbering from 1 because I can only count up to 70)
My X720 (64GB/6GB) is detected as LEX727, ist that alright?
1. Bootloader Status
Unlocked
2. Erse All Data / Decrypt Internal Storage
3. Flash Factory Image-> LE_ZL1_LEX720-CN-FN-WAXCNFN5902012312S-5.9.020S-FASTBOOT.zip
with Wipe all Data and Reboot after Flash
-> it reboots, vibrates two times and boots Recovery Mode (EUI with chinese checkboxes)
4. Long press Powerbutton
Boots into Recovery
At this point AIO says "no devices found" and the phone is not listed in Windows Explorer anymore.
Tried this before already. At this point I always used QFIL.
Any other plans, or am I screwed?

Within the EUI Recovery: Reset the phone and then try boot.
You would not be able to access the phone from the PC until the system is setup. However, this should have fixed the issue if if was merely encryption or corruption.
Stockware does not resolve it and restoring my full backup recovery doesn't solve the issue. Then you could try flash the bootloader again, after using Qfil. Or try my Recovery one more time: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75021582
Outside of that we are beginning to run out of options. This issue is highly unusual and I now also talking to other people via PM with a very similar issue. A rare coincidence? These issues are always fixed with everything we have tried. Unfortunately, it could be a hardware issue.

Within EUI the upper checkbox is update and the lower is reset, right?
So select the lower checkbox and click the right button.
Then it displays and error in red:"*chinesesymbols*Data*chinesesymbols*"
So probably something is wrong with Data...
I click the chinese OK and it goes on with wiping Cache.
Then I return to main screen and click the left button for reboot.
Phone vibrates twice and goes back into Recovery.
So once again from the beginning:
1. QFIL via FlashOne (zl1_qfil.zip)
2. AIO Bootloader Status: Unlocked
3. AIO Lock Boatloader
4. AIO Unlock Boatloader
ERROR:
FAILED (remote: Need wipe userdata. Do 'fastboot oem unlock-go')
5. command in adb: fastboot oem unlock-go
6. AIO Unlock Boatloader
Device already: unlocked!
This does not sound right.. Any clue?
If we cant get it fixed make a suggestion for a new (used) phone, pls
Should I buy LeEco again? Only had it for 4-5 month now.

After everything that has been done, I feel that you without a doubt have a hardware issue, and unfortunately it is very likely the main board. It would be cheaper to buy another phone.
Ordinarily, I would say absolutely get another Leeco, I found a Brand new X727 on Ebay for $175. But, the more I think about it I would suggest moving on to another phone from a company that is still in business. Technically, Leeco still exists, but I doubt that they will do anything new with phones for a while. The have lost face, and it would be dificult for them to repair trust in their home country and attract investors.
As far as getting something else. I guess it depends on your budget. If you want stay around $200 I would consider the Xiaomi A2, Its plenty power enough, looks expensive and modern. Has plenty of Ram, HD space, and the battery is big enough. Plus it comes bloat free.
If you can spend $300 to $350 - Maybe consider the Xiaomi Poco F1 , Mi 8 or mi8 Lite. All stellar phones. The Mi8 is probably the overall best of the 3.
Hello,
I found this guy that had my similar problem,
I hope it's not my main board.
I have a x720
I tried to flash AICP 9.0 over dirtly ove the prevous ROM,
Got error 7 and /vendor unable to mount.
I donwloaded stock rom from LEECO but before that I've done a "Erase all data and decrypt internal storage" with "MAURO ALL IN TOLL", now that i think about it, very dumb move, anyway.
When I try to flash the LEECO stock rom i get those errors + Unable to mount /system
Hope anyone can help me.

Your issue is not the board or even a big deal at all.
Can you boot into TWRP Recovery ( by pressing the volume up and power? ) If not go to the all in one thread and read the instructions
You can use the All in One tool to flash TWRP, Once TWRP has been installed,
Boot to Recovery
Format Storage
Type “Yes.”
afterwards select Wipe > Factory Reset
Now Reboot to Recovery > Check Boxes for TWRP Manager installation if you see them
Now you can try Installing your Rom, Gapps, and Magisk > Reboot to Recovery again /Check Boxes
Clear Cache ( Not Dalvik)
Reboot to System > You should now be fine.
