[Q] Cannot install any ROM

Hello,
My u8800 can't install any custom or official rom anymore. I really tried everything, but every single rom gets a bootloop. When I install an official rom via dload it repeats the animated boot screen over and over, and it gets more laggier everytime. I really don't know what to do. The only ROM that still works is Oxygen.
Also when I install 2.3.5 official it will boot the first time, but after a restart a bunch of errors pop up and when I click them away they keep coming back. When I do a factory reset I can boot up, but when I restart the errors come back. This way I cannot root my 2.3.5 and install cwm recovery on it.
When I try to install a rom from oxygen it also results in a bootloop. English is not my main language so I hope you guys will understand. I know the basics of custom roms but there it pretty much ends.
Thanks in advance!

Do you usually wipe Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, Cache, and System when you install a new custom rom after oxygen?

If that means installing official firmware via the dload folder and pinkscreen mode, then yes. Froyo works fine, and Gingerbread works fine untill I reboot the phone. I get all kind of errors and I can't click them away, they will appear again.

For **** sake this is a WORTHLESS forum

Try hard resetting your phone. Follow steps here:

Try FULLFLASH http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971266 ( I think, it helps)

Can't get into recovery :( would appreciate some help

Hello everyone,
yes i tried the search, but i really could not find anything matching my problem
I want so gift my S4 to a friend for christmas and wanna do a full wipe + new custom rom (currently sitting on Ressurection Remix Remix 5.5.5)
When i try to enter TWRP i get stuck at the teamwin screen
I've tried the following:

- install newest TWRP again via TWRP Manager App
- flashing Stock Recovery (could not even get into anything, bootloop)
Any suggetions how to solve this problem?
Sorry for any grammar/vocabulary mistakes. English is not my first language

Try flashing stock rom. That also includes the stock recovery. Then reflash twrp.

Unless you want to stay on the stock rom, or want to backup some apps, then no. Rooting will not be necessary if you plan on changing to a custom rom again.

rooted my s4 again,
twrp is finally working
but i cant flash the rom
Error executing updater binary in zip
anyone has an idea?
i allready downloaded the rom again but the zip is not broken

Are you using the latest version of twrp?

Yes 2.8.7.0

That error is caused because the recovery thinks the rom is not compatible with your phone.
Make sure your phone is compatible with the rom.
Or try these steps I found online:
1. Advance Wipe > Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik partitions.
2. Select ZIP file of your ROM and flash it.
3. You will get E:Error executing updater binary in zip (Don’t panic!)
4. Go to Reboot menu > Select Reboot to recovery.
5. After rebooting in recovery, flash the ZIP file of the ROM again WITHOUT WIPING.
Then it should work, according to the site I found it on.

The execution error indicates that the phone may not be supported by the ROM you're trying to flash..

Autorec is just the first step to twrp. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705 and get the bumped version 3.1.0-1.
Then put it in your phones memory, boot into twrp you got from autorec and flash the new version.

How did you flashed your phone? Your display have been black and you haven't seen anything. How did you entered into download mode?

Hi,
It seems I have the same issue :
I tried to install LineAge, using TWRP 3.2.1 (from CM12.1), but nothing is working (I tried 20180425 and 20180404 nightly versions). After reboot I can see the backlight on the lcd screen but nothing else. Then I tested the installation of a CM12 version, all is right, normal boot. No error message written in the console. i tried also a CM13 install, same as Lineage.
Do you think I have to flask back to LG "OS" ?

Are you clean flashing? Make sure to factory reset, wipe system, data and cache before flash. Never wipe internal storage. Swipe factory reset again after flash. Try flashing gapps later after confirming that Rom boots fine.

Hi,
yes I wiped Dalvik, system, data & cache through TWRP, before flash. But I don't wipe after, I rebooted without GApps...
Maybe, because I read that somewhere, I need to flash a bootstack. I don't know when I have to di it, if I have to do.
Thanks

Yes, you don't wipe after flash, but you swipe the factory reset, it does not wipe but resets the flashed Rom. Give it a clean shot again. Check MD5 of the all files you downloaded with original MD5 to confirm the file didn't get corrupt.
Boot stack flash not needed. Please read the first post thoroughly in lineage thread
"""
Requirements:
Custom recovery (TWRP or any other)
KitKat (KK) bootloader (included in the lg-devs LP bootstack)
KitKat (KK) bootstack minimum; Please read the entire FAQ for important bootstack information. Installation of bootstacks is NOT recommended.
Clean flash if coming from another ROM or CM 13 (no dirty flash, wipe system too check you bootstack(needen bump support)

Hi,
what do you mean by "you swipe the factory reset", I'm not sure what it is, either "give it a clean shot again".
Sorry I'm not very aware of all those processes ^_^, and I'm french so not very aware of some vocabulary words
Thank you

Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk

Hi. Can you please provide a link for the stock Rom? Did you copy it to your phone by sideload? Will it work on CM Recovery with unlocked bootloader? Mine always boot to CM recovery everytime I power on my phone.
Thank you!

ZE552kL (Soft Bricked)

I have bricked my phone the issue I am facing is I don't own and can't afford an SD card to sideload the rom onto my phone is there a 7.0 stock based rom that is flashable via TWRP or? Really need some ideas need to fix this device.

If you have access to TWRP, then plug your phone into your computer and it'll mount your internal sdcard. Copy any Rom you want onto it and flash as normal (remember to wipe cache and dalvik!). If you get the "error 7" output, edit your updater script and do it again. If you get a bootloop after successfully flashing, flash the latest magisk zip (I assume you use root?) or noverity file if not.

I use root and both but when I decided to remove root and was looking at installing another rom it failed now I don't see any twrp flashable roms for my device would you know of any? I tried stock but it can't be flashed from TWRP sadly I have no bootable rom at the moment.

@mastermarkofroms
EVERY Rom that can be flashed through stock recovery can be flashed through TWRP.
....all you need to do is edit the updater script as I said above. Give it a shot
Edit: you softbricked your phone removing root? Just perform a factory reset, you'll lose your personal data but it'll boot. Remember to wipe cache and dalvik.

I have never modified that before what would I need to modify to get it working?

@mastermarkofroms
Open the Rom archive and edit the updater script (/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script) to remove the first 7 lines (sometimes more or less) of code, so the script starts at "ui_print....." now. Save it, and load it onto your sdcard and flash.

I will give that a shot turns out a factory reset did not start up device so this is my last choice as I can still access recovery
edit: so after modifying the script it did flash without an issue but it still has failed to boot reloading the bootloader.

Flash magisk or the no verify file

the no verify file was flashed when I rooted this device

Which Rom did you flash?
You performed a factory reset and wiped dalvik and cache after flashing? How long did you wait after rebooting? Usually takes 5-10min on the first boot.
Edit: you flashed the no verity file after flashing the rom today, right?

I tried flashing Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 for ZE552KL by basenode with opengapps it just failed to flash not an error 7 it actually gave me a wrong device error although I know I have the ze552kL model. and since then it don' boot it tries to you see the asus logo and it just restarts again in a boot loop

Flash magisk right now, then wipe cache and dalvik

Go back asus nougat 7.0 -> factory reset -> flash LOS 14.1 -> flash gapps -> done. Flash magisk if you want.
Edit: when you go back asus rom and face bootloop then just flash no-verity file, everything will work like normal .
