I had Lineage OS installed on my pro3. It worked fine for a while.
But this morning, after the latest Lineage OS upgrade, the phone entered fastboot mode. And I could not find a way to boot it into Android.
So I went into TeamWin, wiped out everything. Now when I try to reboot from TeamWin, it says no OS.
I tried to connect it to a pc and use adb to upload the latest ROM. But adb says "no devices/emulators found", although I can see it from pc's device management and fastboot tool in pc.
What can I do now?
Thanks for any help.

OK. I can use ADB sideload to transfer rom from pc to the phone.
THanks
Sometimes this happens on some builds. Dunno why. Usually you'll be able to boot back into system after rebooting a couple of times. Eventually the problem gets fixed in the next release. My advice: stop updating so much. Stay on a stable build and wait for feedback on the build before updating.
You mount the phone in TWRP by connecting it to your PC via cable. You can then make a Nandroid backup and transfer it to your PC (and also restore it) from there. Then you can unzip it and extract photos and stuff from your PC.
I have the same problem. Today morning, I downloaded the new version of Lineage OS from the phone and press the button ''Install'' but now the phone doesn't boot or do anything.
I tried to make wipes of the data and system and now I have no system anymore, moreover, I can't push any file to the phone to flash a new ROM, my PC gives me an error message like ''It's not possible to copy the file. The device stopped working or shuted down.'' (it's a simple translation from spanish, I don't know the actual message in english).
I've just tried to push files using fastboot but it gives me also errors, if you could help me to make this phone works again, I would be really pleased with you.

When you boot into TWRP select mount and enable mtp. Also make sure you running the latest TWRP. Which can be found here

Hi Andrew, first of all, thank you for your answer.
But I have already installed the last version of TWRP and when I select mount and enable MTP it doesn't happen anything.
I see the phone in my PC, but it appears totally empty, with no folder or anything related to Android system, and when I try to put any file into it, it gives me the error I said before.
So now I have no idea what to do

Hey guys,
I keep trying to get PA to work on my phone and every time i install TWRP i get a new issue. Can anyone help me get back to stock so i can go back to CWM and CM11 which seems to be so much better on the G2?
My issue is that after managing to restore the stock OS using download mode i rooted and flashed TWRP, now when i restarted into TWRP i cant seem to get back to the OS. I did do a backup before playing around but it seems i can restore everything apart form data but even then it does not boot it just goes to a blank screen after the LG logo and the notification light is on but nothing else. Download mode is not working it just has the loading download mode icon and that's it.
I managed to push PA and gapps to my phone using adb push and stupidly decided to try that without pushing some back up roms and now after wiping and trying to install PA and gapps anything further i try to push now tells me its read-only through adb, i have tried doing adb remount and that does not work.
When i try to install PA and Gapps they seem to work but when i restart i am just stuck on the LG boot screen.
Please can you help i really have no idea what do to and i have googled around without much help.
My phone is LG G2 int 32gb
Thanks!

Could you please elaborate a bit more? Im new to TWRP and dont know the options by the prompts i get are: Factory reset / Advanced Wipe / Format Data.
I was just worried that i might wipe too much so have always gone with factory reset on TWRP as it says on their site that should be enough:
teamw.in/whattowipe
Should i do an advanced wipe and try again?
Everything but internal. Pictures and your rom etc are on internal . Yes. Factory reset, too. Other options are in advanced wipe

Hey thanks for the help, I have done the advanced wipe and attempted a restore however the data part still fails. I tried to push stuff using ADB again and it is either coming up with a protocol failure and the phone is restarting or it still says read-only file system.
Any other options available? Also what was the advanced wipe supposed to achieve in comparison to the normal one? (just asking as I'm interested in learning about the whole process)
hmm..can you enter twrp ? Just install a new one.

Twrp 2.7? Wipe all except internal. Factory reset, too. Try downloading some other rom and push it via adb.

Yup its 2.7. Should i wipe then try adb push without restoring? (ill have to wait and give it a go on my lunch break) and i have CM11 to install which i have been trying to push using adb but i either get protocol failure and the phone is restarting or it still says read-only file system. Do you think just wiping all except internal and doing a factory reset will help me get past the whole read only file system issue?

lets say adb is in c:\adb
start, cmd (you run the cmd)
cd c:\adb
(copy your rom also somewhere with short path, let's say c:\adb\rom.zip)
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
or
adb push c:\adb\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
adb sideload doesn't have to be enabled

Thanks for your continued assistance, however its still showing up as as a read only file system in cmd and thus it cannot copy. Do you have any other ideas? I have tried adb remount and it is still coming up with the read only error
The only thing i can think of is to use an microsdreader like meenova and put a rom on the microsd and put it in your phone but i dont know or your twrp supports otg.

I have an OTG cable and it is there as an option under TWRP and i tried putting the roms on my 32gb stick and plugged it into the phone using the OTG cable however when i clicked mount OTG it just stalled for a bit and the option was never ticked, also looking through file manager when the cable was connected i did not see anything or the blue light on my usb stick illuminate. If i was doing it wrong please let me know though

@usb - try formatting it through windows once again. I've also had some issues with my usb stick.
Just thought i would throw out and update to see if it helps you guys troubleshoot.
After doing an advanced wipe when i use the power off through TWRP it mentioned that i have no SU installed and asks me if i wish to install it. I click yes and it does something quickly then my phone restarts (so not sure if it worked or not) however every time i try and do and adb push to my device now it just comes up with protocol failure and restarts the phone. Just to note when i do a restore to the non-working backup i have when i try and turn it off using that it does not prompt that i do not have SU.
So i hope this helps in some way, nut sure if getting these protocol failure errors is better then the read only errors i was getting but the fact that it keeps restarting my phone does not seem promising when i do this.

Well i guess you now have SU but the best thing to do is try to update the SU.
Try to Enable Usb debugging if it wasn't on yet. (I never had your error)
And also try to execute this when pushing a rom:
Code:
adb /kill-server
adb usb
adb push (romname) /sdcard
Or
adb push (romname) /storage/sdcard0
I don't know really about the last part anymore with adb pushing or these sdcard locations I said are right. The last time I used it was when i still had my phone :/
I hope this could fix your problem when you maybe accidently formatted your internal storage. If my sdcard locations aren't right could you correct me then? so people who also have this issue can fix it easily.
Thankyou
Hey guys, I was using TWRP to install a custom rom, but I accidentally wiped EVERYTHING off the internal storage (Format Data) Now it's completely blank, nothing at all on it. My computer doesn't even detect the amount of space on the device, and I can't send any files to it. Did I just permanently destroy this phone? Can it be fixed?
Will TWRP be gone if I reboot the phone? Help please

I did that once on my ls980. I just downloaded a stock tot image and used lgflashtools to go back to stock. Worked like a charm.

Do not reboot your phone, 'cause as you say, you wipe everything, so there is no more Android on it. Plug to your PC and try use ADB command instead of Graphic Explorer. If "adb devices" return your device, then your good to go and push a ROM on your phone. Else, the only way is to go in Download Mode and restore your phone with .kdz or .tot file.
Thanks for the help guys, I found a solution.

I added a rom.zip to the phone storage then just flashed it using the recovery.
Hello, it seems as if my internal storage has unmounted/is missing the last thing I think I was doing before I encountered this problem was either installing a custom boot animation, or spoofing my devices model & Mac address. I tried restoring default Mac and other device information, and even running some commands in terminal emulator and nothing worked. Any help would be much appreciated.

You can solve most problems by simply flashing stock rom. You should probably get twrp installed on your sm-t350 to get nandroid backups.

So I made my nandroid backup, and after the backup was complete I tried to reboot to my device and it went straight back to recovery. I tried restoring the backup i just made but then upon trying to reboot, it said "No OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?", I clicked yes, and instead of it going into a boot loop or booting to my device it went straight back into recovery. I used the TWRP file manager and all my files and my SD card is still present so no operating system clearly isnt true. got any suggestions?
Also i dont have access to my computer for the next couple of hours

Your files are not on the same partition as the OS. If twrp says you don't have an OS then you've wiped it. It will boot to recovery if you have no OS.
Install the stock firmware with odin.
I can't find this anywhere. Every guide seems to assume that everyone has a micro SD in their phone. Currently, I don't have one. I'm wondering if an S7 Edge root is possible without an SD card.

I have tried the CF-Auto-Root method twice now, both resulting in being stuck on boot like the other times. However, maybe I needed to wait longer? Next time I attempt a root I will leave the phone alone for at least 15 minutes before I call it a failure. Still, the post you linked seems to be for older firmware. Would you still recommend the method for Nougat? Thanks for the reply.

I think I've isolated the problem. After using adb sideloader to install magisk and antiroot remover, I'm prompted to reboot. In other guides, there is a further options screen after pressing the reboot button which has a couple checked boxes and a button that says "Do Not Install". I see this screen for maybe a third of a second after selecting Reboot before the device reboots on its own. Just tried this and now I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo once again.
Note: There are many errors in the adb sideloader log relating to being unable to mount/unmount /data/ and stuff like that that I know are related to having an SD inserted.
Edit: I should also note that I am new to android. Fresh newbee from iOS, but I have been jailbreaking for the past 9 years. Still in over my head I think.

Once data is wiped in twrp then reboot back to recovery and connect usb to pc. You should be able to copy SuperSU zip via mtp and your phone should show up on pc. Flash SuperSU zip once copied

Update: Still stuck on Samsung boot logo after 15+ minutes after successfully loading from usb drive. TWRP still skipped right by the reboot options screen after the install... I have no clue why it's doing that. It's like it's taking the command to reboot after I press the button and processing it while it is going to the next screen. I don't know. Hopefully someone does. It's so close!
EDIT: IT WORKED!!! Had to format and then installing from usb drive worked great! Thank you so much!!

I recently had security and quick settings issues after installing an update to a ROM. I was shown this method where I would remove the user account(user 0) and it's worked in the past. However, this time, I did it and I now can't connect to any networks. My mobile radio won't turn on from *#*#4636#*#*
Nothing works. Can someone please help?
Thank you.
Be specific.
Which update?
Which ROM?
What method?

It was after applying an RR update.
The method is as follows: navigate to the user folder and remove the user. I don't why this happens but sometimes when the phone boots up after an updater or reflash the pass code doesn't work and the user can't access quick settings or developer options because it isn't the admin account or something to that effect.
So I was told a method to fix that is to remove the user 0 folder. I've don't it before and it's worked flawlessly. Google redoes the setup process after boot but recognizes all accounts already synced and everything is the same.
This time though, after boot, I noticed I didn't have service, so I waited and waited but still had nothing. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and went into the menu but even after turning on the mobile radio multiple times, it never saves the setting. So I'm stuck now.

I had the exact same issue and I almost believed that there's some problem with my sim slot. Radio won't turn on in custom ROM , atleast for me it didn't turn on. I solved it by clean flashing the stock ROM and then turned the radio on. It didn't turn on initially then I turned it on and rebooted immediately. Problem got solved.
U can first try by turning radio on in custom ROM and the reboot the phone immediately by staying on same page.
If that didn't work , stock ROM method will work.
Be sure to backup ur data in case I flash stock ROM coz clean flash is recommended.

Backup up your data first. (Internal storage)
And then attempt anything u want.
Download mi flash tool from here : https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B_PrkMiyehZuNW9uQzl4b252ZzA
Download the Oreo 8.0 ROM from here :https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wFzbQ8MyJfprFlGyfIfjKo_cGxX2tGWQ/view
Install mi flash tool and usb drivers.
Extract the ROM once , you will find a file , rename it to .zip extension and again unzip it.
Remove phones password and tick OEM unlock in developers settings.
Reboot phone to fastboot and using vol up + power key. And connect to pc.
Open mi flash and click refresh , it should show ur device there with some code (not name).
Browse to your finally extracted file (a folder it will be named after the ROM )
Now in bottom right chose clean all and lock
And click flash In mi flash
Wait for it to reboot automatically and do not disturb in between.
Then follow the steps in above mentioned steps in my earlier post

This worked! Thank you so much!!
My only issue now is restoring from my backup since when I try it it then restarts and I have the issue again. Something may be corrupt within my user folder.

Copy your internal data to a pc or some drive instead of making twrp backup. Then after clean flashing stock , paste your data back to phone.
But will it copy/paste the root directory or application data?
