Hi, I already had my phone rooted and with TWRP installed, but I needed to restore my phone. First I did this trough the system, but I noted that a lot of old files still were there, and I went to TWRP and did a wipe, but selected /system and /cache, now I don't have a OS on my phone.
The phone doesn't turn off, everytime I try to power off, he turn on again, and stay on Lenovo logo. The only thing I can acess is Fastboot mode (via Power down + power), I cant acess TWRP trough the phone, but I found a .bat file, that when I'm in fastboot mode, it flashes twrp on my phone and I can acess it . The other problem is that I always get an error when trying to flash any rom. Things like Error:255 or ".zip file not valid". Tried 2 roms and nothing.
Can someone please help me? I would prefer a stock rom for Brazil, but now I just want any rom, dont even mind if it's not stock.

Error 255 is caused because you are trying to install a 64bit ROM over TWRP (32bits), you need to upgrade TWRP to 64bit, just so you will be able to install a ROM. Remember that you should use Gapps in 64bit [ARM64]
TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/karate/twrp-3.1.1-1-karate.img
Gapps: http://opengapps.org/ (ARM64)

I already had this version of twrp, but downloaded anyway and got the same error when tring to sideload a ROM "Updater process ended with ERROR: 255" . I don't know what to do anymore, I tried with 4 different ROMs, also I searched for a method to erase the lines with asserts on "update-scripts" in META-INF, but then I got a "Invalid ZIP file" error.

Try to go back to the 32bits version and erase everything and format the data and return to the 64bit version because here I had this problem it was because of the TWRP that I was using, it was the 32bits version, after that I upgraded to the 64bits version I did not have this problem. Remembering that in the site https://dl.twrp.me/karate/ has two versions of TWRP, the version twrp-3.1.1-0-karate.img is 32bits and the version twrp-3.1.1-1-karate. img is 64bit.

MAN, the ERROR: 7 now could be solved by deleting the lines with ASSERT in "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script".
So, thanks for helping me, the problem with 64/32bits worked. I'm really glad that this worked, had stuck for 3 days without OS, now i'm never messing with this stuff again haha.

Dont forget to reboot again into twrp - after flashing 64bit twrp . This is a step that is very important if you will not reboot your phone into twrp after flashing 64 bit twrp then , it will keep showin you the error 255.
So check that .

Use erase the data from wipe option then you will be able to install rom and g-apps.
Every time you will need password, I don't know why but after erasing data you install all files otherwise you need to erase data again and again

I Faced same problem. It's ok that your phone is in weird state for time now. And also possible to recover.
Hopefully you have adb-tool, custom-rom & gapp, twrp.img on your PC.
1) Boot your mobile in fastmode using Power ON with Volume down key for 5 sec (Lenovo log with left hand side sayinh fastboot mode)
2) Connect the mobile to PC using USB & Go to adb tool folder. Open command prompt in this folder & Execute the follow step by step execution
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
3)Wait for mobile to boot in to recovery mode with TWRP
Now need to flash custom-rom followed by gapps installion.
I) You can use pendrive with otg to flash custom-rom followed by gapps
OR
II)You can use phone storage/SD card to flash the custom-rom followed by gapps
OR
III)adb sideload command as fallow
a)In TWRP recovery on mobile, goto Adavanced->ADB Sideload & Swipe to start the sideload
Now on PC execute . Specify custom rom path inside ""
adb sideload "C:\adb\images\MyCustomROM.zip"
Have a patience to complete the operation.
Click back for Adavanced Menu again.
b) Select ADB Sideload & Swipe to start the sideload
Now on PC execute . Specify Gapp path inside ""
adb sideload "C:\adb\images\open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180611.zip"
c)Have a patience to complete the operation.
Once complete go to TWRP Screen.
d)Now go back TWRP main menu & select wipe->format Data.
Go to Reboot->system.
How to install TWRP if no OS there
1) Boot your mobile in fastmode using Power ON with Volume down key for 5 sec (Lenovo log with left hand side sayinh fastboot mode)
2) Connect the mobile to PC using USB & Go to adb tool folder. Open command prompt in this folder & Execute the follow step by step execution
a) To check the device is connected to PC or not
fastboot oem device-info
b) To flash the recovery. Give twrp path inside the ""
fastboot flash recovery "C:\adb\images\twrp.img"
c) To boot into recovery mode
fastboot oem reboot-recovery

In my case, It worked with PIN.
Hi,
My ZE550KL was locked in boot with this message: "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with an unauthorized software & is locked", so i followed some tutorials and was able to install TWRP recovery (i had bootloader already unlocked). Then when trying to reinstall stock rom, i realized i had to reinstall the stock recovery. I did it and installed the stock rom with version matching with the stock recovery i installed(UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user). Everything was going ok, but when my newly installed stock rom was popping multiple apps stopped working an i was unable to basically do anything. So i tried reinstalling stock rom again, but this is when things collapsed. As i entered recovery to reinstall the rom, it has lots of errors from partition cache
Code:
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
. This same errors happens when i try to wipe it from the recovery, but when i erase the cache partition on fastboot it says "OK". I also tried to reinstall twrp, but apparently my bootloader was blocked again, and it says it is flashed when i try, but when rebooting it boots again on stock recovery.
So i tried just booting twrp, but then it says my bootloader is blocked and can't boot twrp. Also tried sideloading stock rom from adb, but it gets the same cache partition errors. I tried
Code:
fastboot -w
and it says OK but the cache partition errors are still there. I also tried
Code:
fastboot erase ASDF
and i get some errors.
TLDR; I'm stuck at a cycle where i have to remount cache and all other partitions via TWRP, but i can't install TWRP because my bootloader got locked again and i can't unlock it because i need to install some rom to do it, but since my cache partition is destroyed i can't install anything, neither via fastboot on pc nor from recovery on the phone.
Did you tried the unoffical unlock way? It can done via PC in fastboot mode. Also did you tried `fastboot format system` kind of commands?

Damn! I just noticed that you will need to be in system to gain root access. I guess then it won't work. I suggest to try `fastboot format system/userdata/cache` way as it fixed my issues with partitions multiple times.

It's because you don't have any recovery or ROM on your device. Try flashing stock recovery.

Hello and thanks for inteterest to help. (My phone Redmi 2 Prime)
So to the point, i have my phone installed custom ROM. And today when i try to reset factory, it stuck in the MI Logo (Show and then turned off). So i forgot to flashing the twrp again last time, so i left it without any recovery. The only way is repairing it with Fastboot and installing TWRP. So i start installing all driver and flashing. But, when i want to flash twrp to my phone, it keep showing me this
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
flashing 'recovery.img'
FAILED (Data Transfer Failure(unknown error)
DONE! 5.8 sec
But it doesnt installing any recovery. I have installing MiFlash driver. Is there any driver that i should install again? Or anything that i can do? Also my PC doesnt read my phone storage at all, it doesnt show in the explorer, but can read "my phone" and my phone model. And I'm using USB 2.0. I also have try USB 3.0 but it doesnt work too.
Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the long post, eh?
Try to temporarily boot into recovery by this command
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
(If it boots to recovery then you can flash any zip)

Thank you for replying
So i've try it, but why its stuck at 'downloading boot.img' for 2 hours?
Can i download the boot.img manually? If yes, what should i download?
Can you share a photo of error.
Or you can try miflash to flash stock rom. Then you try to flash twrp. I suspect there would be something wrong with your recovery partition.(i also had similar problem while flashing different roms.)
Ok, so when i flash stock rom on miflash, at average 70%, it show me "fastboot.exe has stopped working" and show me error 0x80004005('Error flash system.img')
Why, godness? Is it because my laptop is only having 2GB Ram?
Or is there any ways to flash TWRP with fastboot without UBL?

Try this method
[No More Errors] [Fastboot Rom Flashing] [Direct Method]
Hi all, Yesterday i flashed miui LP on my Redmi 2 Prime. In the evening i tried to flash the miui KK with fastboot rom. But ended up with unspecified error ;). I tried many things but no luck. Then i followed direct method and that worked...
forum.xda-developers.com
Hello,
I recently tried to degoogle my phone with Lineage and twrp. It's been a bit of a brick wall. Long story short i'm stuck in twrp. It boots into recovery fine from that. Everything else is DOA. When I plug it in the pc recognizes it and I can see my storage. I run adb devices and it comes up. When I reboot to bootloader I see download as I should on the phone screen and I hear it connect to the pc. Then that's it, it doesn't show up as storage or when I run adb of fastboot commands. I fairly certain TWRP F'd this all up. I have the recovery image for lineage but like I said nothing gets done.
So the question is, is it totally bricked or is there a soulotion I haven't found yet?
Thanks for the listen.

First of all flash LineageOS recovery on fastboot mode then restart to LineageOS recovery & flash LineageOS rom via adb sideload...
Everything you will do even working fastboot mode...
A/B partition system is caused whole problem so this is only the method to flash custom rom...
As I said this has been the whole problem. I boot back to bootloader where It says Download Mode. When I try to flash the recovery image this is what I get.
C:\Users\rpwor\NexusTools>fastboot flash recovery lineage-18.1-20210831-recovery-PL2.img
< waiting for any device >
And there it sits never to move again. Now do you understand what i'm dealing with?
The problem might be the recovery image you want to flash as it's for a Nokia 6.1 (PL2) not Nokia 6.1 Plus (DRG).
If your device is actually a Nokia 6.1, then you could try the `Install Recovery Ramdisk` option in TWRP, under `Advanced`.

How is your brick? Did you find a way to revive it?
So i was just following the instructions from this page https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/flox/install, was able to unlock the bootloader of my nexus 7 device. Now at this point i didnt know my device codename, i thought it was flox but i just noticed on the bootloader page it says deb. [Im a noob..guilty]
Now the 2nd step was no biggie either, i was able to flash twrp recovery, but somehow it was not working as i was keep getting error 1 and vendor invalid argument when i tried to flash the lineage 18.1 zip.
The recovery img i tried were
lineage-18.1-20211018-recovery-flox.img
twrp-3.4.0-0-deb.img
twrp-3.5.0_9-0-flox.img
twrp-3.5.2_9-0-flo.img
twrp-3.5.2_9-0-flo_followmsi.img
Now after flashing twrp recoveries i was getting the problem of not able to flash the LOS 18.1 rom file, plus if i would format the device and then try to reboot the device back to recovery i would get an error with android logo collapsed [check the image]
what am i doing wrong? plz help.
I sense its repartitioning process? also i am not sure if i did an EFS Persists back up.
so if someone can give a walkthrough. would be very greatful _/\_
thanks again
Was your device rooted? Start it in to recovery mode, go to "Mount". And see if you could chose system directory. If not, that means TWRP can't access system directory and will not be able to flash any custom ROM until you sort root permissions.
Edit: Sorry just now noticed that you can't get in to recovery mode anymore. Connect your device to computer and use Nexus Root Toolkit to flash TWRP recovery.
