Hey guys,
So went ahead and flashed TWRP (using flashify) and it worked just fine. The only problem is that now any reboot just takes me back to TWRP. What did I do wrong? Thanks!

Yeah, tried that. No matter what option I use to reboot, I just reboot into TWRP. Kind of starting to panic

Have you tried fixing permissions, clearing caches, repushing Loki/twrp via adb?
Not sure beyond that.

Yeah, thanks for the suggestions. I don't think I can even get to adb since I can't boot at all. If anyone here has any idea what else might have happened, please let me know.

You may be able to access adb from d/l mode if not twrp.

Factory reset method might help.

Tried that too - my fear is that I may have somehow replaced that bootloader with TWRP, therefore there seems to be no way to load System. Man, I hope there is a solution to this. No way I can try and return it in this state.

You may find help there.
UPDATE: So the issue was a misset flag in misc, meaning that the phone can only boot into recovery. This happened when you used the hardware keys to boot into recovery. Usually you could fix this with adb, but adb in the current G2 build of TWRP wasn't working.
So, until ADB works in recovery again, don't try to flash it!

I don't see you making it to twrp without a boot loader, but did you possibly check anything besides recovery in flashify?
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk 4
That's is what happens if you format system. Did you make a back up in TWRP? If system had not been formatted then perhaps factory reset us a good option.
First I would force a hard reboot by holding power button until it turns off.

Devs are working on diagnosing and repairing the issue. The only other viable solution is the flash back to stock, which you said didn't work for you.
Similar predicament
im also stuck at TWRP but i do have access to adb and adb sideload
i was wondering if it would be possible to sideload an TWRP from someone who had a working G2
I've got stuck in boot loop twice in a row after spending hours restoring phone with different method. Maybe I should have learned my lesson not to touch TWRP. Has anyone backedup and restored without a problem? Is there a way I can fix this issue without starting all over again?

Ive backed up and restored twice now with no problems, did you completely wipe and factory reset? You have to do it in that order.
I forgot, and just restored. But that shoulnd't cause bootloops. Ive used TWRP before on gnexus. what did you learn from your first bootloop error? I saw you had many posts. What have you changed to fix that ?

This isnt the Gnex, i know what you mean, this phones recovery method doesnt work the same as the nexus.
I learned this from other people's trial and error actually from this very g2 forum. With this device it requires a complete wipe and then a factory reset.otherwise boot loops will occur.

in your experience, has how you flashed TWRP mattered? What about how you booted into recovery? I recall you bricked not trying to restore. is wiping the only thing you changed to prevent the boot loop?

Yes, ive had one bootloop from using TWRP but a full wipe and FR resolved this issue. I did brick once by taking the verizon OTA while having TWRP. But that was a month ago and I tried to restore from my backup to no avail though. This was fixed by the devs. Anyway bottom line when I ran into bootloop issues I just did this methodology and it worked, its def different from how we use TWRP on the Gnex.
Is this what your asking about or no?
I ran into the same problem but fixed it using the method in "go back to stock" thread. The mistake I made was that I chose to format my internal storage in the wipe menu so i couldn't restore either lol.

Can you point me to a method to install via ADB? I am confused about loki's involvement.
FWIW, I'm using TWRP without issue so far. Very easy install and I've done two backups, but have not had to restore anything yet.

Holy Crapshoot that was easy... how do you reboot into recovery using hardware buttons on this thing?
I use the clockwork mod app .. if you use the hard buttons I think you have to choose the factory reset option and then that will take you to recovery. .. I have not used that method. .. just what I have read. .. vol down and power. .please research that first

Well, it looks like I unintentionally wiped the /data partition using TWRP right after I did my first backup after rooting. Now I obviously can't boot since system, data, cache, etc. are wiped. The backup I just made was also wiped

Wiping data partition does not wipe the rom. It just resets your rom back to a freash install.

Not sure about twrp. I use cwm and able to load roms through recovery from PC. You should be able to do it with Twrp. If not you will have to kdz back to stock.

Is there anyway to mount your phone to your computer? As there is the button on the main page of twrp 3rd one down. If not you should be able to use the adb push command to push it onto the "memory" of the phone allowing for you to read it and you to flash it from there. Or that's happened to me. I've used both of those options :$

I managed to do this once, I used TWRP adb sideload to push CM11 to my device then flashed back to stock from there.
if u have twrp 2.6.3.3 it will support otg u have to mount it after you connect to phone in recovery mode if not try format the card u r using for otg with fat32 file system and then try and if it still does not use and sideload in advanced settings to push rom, unfortunately LG drivers in pc does not seem to help pc see your phone in sideload mode so try installing pdanet drivers in ur pc and then connect ur phone to pc in sideload and push rom I did this several times and it worked all the time.

Help!!
I've bricked my s7 edge!!
I was trying to flash twrp recovery on odin and ended up stuck in a bootloop. I think I've deleted everything off my SM-G935F. I thought I'd have to resort to reflashing stock rom off sammobile but it doesn't seem to want to complete the download for some reason. It keeps stopping about 3/4 of the way through. It takes about 2 hours to get to this point and it happens every time. I've tries it a few times from sammobile and even 2 or 3 other websites. I've tried different roms O2 and btu and xeu. I'm from the UK using an unlocked unbranded version. Can anyone shed any light on this issue or tell me some other reputable website I may find a working link to a stock rom?
Thanks in advance guys.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry but I'm an amateur when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm not familiar with smart switch..
How does this work exactly? I can't download it to my phone because it's bricked. Would I download it to my laptop?
I've also been trying the fw.uptado.com website but it can't be found for some reason.
Anyone else able to help?
I apologise if this is basic stuff but I've only rooted about 4 phones in 7 years so I'm not really any kind of expert to say the least .
This is the unbranded firmware: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=145291997DB511E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Put your phone in download mode as you did when you flashed TWRP and use odin to flash the AP from the zip file in that download.
Sometimes downloading with "stock" downloader of Windows, and Android sucks if you have unstable internet connection. My suggestion is to use the Internet Download Manager for Windows, or the Android Download Manager (ADM) obviously for Android. Good thing for these aforementioned download managers, if your internet connection drops, your ongoing download will not terminate, instead it will resume where the point stopped.
PS: just tick the option of "Auto Resume" in the Settings.
Hope this helps.
Thank you everyone who has gone out of their way to help me out it's much appreciated. After lots of failed rom downloads, I finally managed to find one that finished downloading. I've flashed it and realised it was an unbranded Swedish rom but it seems to work fine.
On a side note I couldn't seem to install magisk and samsung anti root via twrp. I kept getting an error message saying "failed to mount data. Invalid argument"
Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks again everyone.

after flashing twrp u need to perform a format from the twrp recovery. i.e wipe>format data type yes. only after that can u flash a rom or any other file. u need to perform this step only once.
oh n when u reboot the phone select the do not install option.
also it would be better if u flash a custom stock rom like superman or batman. flashing magisk on oem stock rom sometimes makes the phone sluggish. in my case the phone not only becomes slow but lucky patcher causes the phone to reboot.
good luck flashing

For the first time coming from stock firmware, /data partition is encrypted and can't be read by twrp. To fix this, twrp need to format(not wipe) /data partition to remove encryption once.
Keep in mind, that all data will be lost.

Ah that makes sense now thanks very much guys.
Hi
I recently got my OP2 out of a hard brick using this tutorial:
forums.oneplus.net/threads/updated-28-06-2016-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/
But after that the phone boots up, reaches the setup screen and then reboots.
I've searched alot and didn't find anything that fixed it.
Most of them say to wipe data and cache but that doesnt work for me.
Has anyone an idea why this is happening?
Edit:
I managed to grab the logcat:
