I haveS4 (i9505) that had the rom foxhound 2.0 on it.
I later decided to install the Google Edition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272) on it.
When installing it I should have wiped data and cache but I accidentally used TWRP's "Format Data" function which deleted everything.
I had to use Odin to put back the original samsung software.
After this I installed the Google Edition the correct way.
When it booted up it said: "encryption unsuccessful" with a button "factory reset" which I pressed.
This took me to the recovery mode which also gave me an error (don't remember what it said).
So i used Odin yet again to put TWRP on it so I could factory reset the phone.
I used the phone for like 1 day but then strange things started to happen.
The phone just froze. Not like a normal freeze where everything stops, but where loading-animations still works and everything else stops working.
So I restarted the phone and it happened again and again and again. From like a few seconds to a few minutes the phone froze or rebooted.
The strange thing is that the same thing happens in recovery (TWRP), the same kind of freeze as described above.
And sometimes the phone refuses to turn on at all. Doesn't help to press all buttons, even holing the powerbutton for 1 minute doesn't help.
I have found out that when this happens I can disconnect the battery and reconnect it after some time to get it to start up again for a short time.
I've tried three different versions of TWRP, and also the original samsung firmware with the same result using Odin.
During all this I also had some problem with my SD-card. Files on it got corrupted and sometimes when i copied files over to it i didn't allow it to happen.
Anyone got any tips on what is going on/what i should do?
guys yesterday i started to flash the smartphone because i was fed up with the stock rom, after a bit of advice i opted for the clougy g3! starting by rootting the phone and install a recovery (which, however, could start only by phone on) I installed this rom which at first look is great for customization and style and also for speed.
today after making a backup of data of the phone whit titan backup fails to come into the gallery and do not make me choose the settings how to change the soft keys of the home, in both cases, says it has stopped working or something like that so I decided to do a soft reset by wipe date cache and devil in recovery and reboot the phone that it stops on the lg logo and does not go forward! Now I no longer get into recovery because I cant do that by turned off phone and then I'm stuck at the lg logo and I do not know what to do!
looking on the internet I read that to get into recovery I have to hold the power button + down button longer until you will see lg logo and then release them and push again, but doing so takes me to a wild white screen "hard factory reset" plz help fast
The hard reset screen is correct, it won't actually reset the phone but it will send you into recovery. Get to that screen and press the power button a few times to go through it and it should take you into TWRP

[Q] D802 hard bricked after wiping & flashing TWRP, no recovery, stuck in boot loop
TL;DR: Wanted to install CM12.1, wiped everything except Internal Storage from TWRP, flashed new version of TWRP (3.0.0-0), hard bricked my D802 (stuck in LG logo, can't get into recovery mode)
ISSUE: My LG G2 is stuck in a boot loop. Only the LG logo is displayed and when I try to turn off the phone by holding down the power button, it will blank out for a few seconds and then display the LG logo again. I tried accessing recovery mode via the hardware buttons and it takes me to the factory reset screen, and after I do press the power button twice it just takes me to a blank screen. I can get the phone into download mode, although my Windows machine doesn't recognize the phone even though its drivers are installed.
I am currently trying this guide. Although I'm not sure what KDZ/TOT to download for my phone :/
All the important files on my phone like photos and contacts are stored in the cloud so I can basically reset the phone to its factory state, if it comes to that.
If someone could help me with a guide or anything that can lead me into the right steps for fixing the phone, I would be really thankful.

Then I don't think what just happened with me is a coincidence, hmmmmmm
Does't anybody have an idea for a solution other than using KDZ? something like flashing the bootstack or recovery through PC?

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEY
I just got something:
So after using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/tools-srk-tool-useful-toos-lg-root-twrp-t3079076
I got my phone to boot to recovery, I used Unbrick to get my phone working again, now the only thing left is to get phone to actually boot to ROM
Anybody got a solution? Should I just reflash the ROM?
Update 2: I re-flashed the ROM, wiped cache and fixed permissions, still waiting for it to boot, I don't know, I think you're better off just backing up the ROM, clean install and then restore apps using TB from the nandroid backup
Final update: yup, clean flash it is
I hope this has helped

You are goinf good mate ! follow the guide.
Good day! I wanted to ask how to remove the bootloader for zenfone max (the old one 2015 model) without using the app from ASUS as I cannot really use my phone. It boots then restarts. I already tried Wiping/Factory Data reset and Wipe cache with the Power and Volume down (Is it Recovery mode?) but still bootloops, by the way when I factory reset, my phone showed "Unknown volume for path /factory". My friend told me it could be that my OS was corrupted. So here I am wanting to unlock the bootloader so I could install OS for my phone.
**Note1: Sometimes it would boot to the "Welcome!" screen, then when I reach to the Wifi selection, it would always restart.
***Note2: This bootlooping happened when I restarted my phone because my wifi suddenly couldn't connect. After I restarted, it looped.
Noob here btw. Sorry and I would be glad to provide additional information if needed be.
