[Q] Can't boot any ROM!

Well, I think I need some help with this one.
So, I have been using Resurrection Remix as my daily driver for a while now (to be able to run lollipop). As I noticed the G2 now has an official lollipop build, so I wanted to install that(cam sucks on most ROMs and overall stability isn't always great). Since I figured the best way would be to go back to stock, and then run the OTA updates.
I made a backup of my current rom, found this, and tried the TOT method. Everything ran fine, but when the 85% reboot thing happened, it booted straight into TWRP. Decided to reboot to system via TWRP, but after showing the LG logo for about 5-10s, it goed straight back into recovery. Since i figured the install failed or something I decided to factory reset, and restore from my backup. TWRP says the restore is succesful, but it still won't boot into my ROM. Reinstalling any ROM doesn't work either
Already tried this, no result(, and I'm afraid of trying the above guide again, but let me know if i should just try again)!
I do have access to my recovery and download, and ADB still works. The only thing I see is that instead of this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Mine says this:
(My PC is in Dutch )
(The LG Driver on the guide was an older version than the one on my pc still, but I don't think that will cause a problem).
Hope my phone isn't gone forever, and thanks for helping in advance!!

EDIT:
Tried the above TOT method again, apparatly it skips a lot of things, and is done in like 30s, so it's not doing its job. I have no idea what's causing that though!
EDIT2:
IF ANYONE STILL FINDS THIS, this was the solution for me. I didn't know LG had a 'official' tool for fixing our sh*t . Hope it still helps you!

You should edit the title to include the word (solved) or (fixed).

Samsung galaxy Grand2 SM-G7102 hangs on start screen and NO touch

Hello everyone, I'm new here
I have a Samsung galaxy grand2 SM-G7102.
I performed a root for my device (most probably with Kingo root), I cannot remember if I have unrooted it or not.
The device notified me about a firmware upgrade to kitkat, I tried it several times and failed after complete download.
A fail message from the device told me to use Samsung Kies to perform the upgrade.
after upgrade with Samsung Kies, I found the device with the following problems
- Hangs on start screen and takes too long to startup (about 20 minutes) and gets too hot​- After startup, there is NO TOUCH. the device is not responding to touch, but the power and volume keys are working ( I can enter download or recovery boot)​
I downloaded the official kitkat ROM for my device. and searched the forum to flash the ROM using Odin. I did flash the ROM several times with no success , I got the same result.
what can I do to get my device to work again?
thanks in advance

Hi amr
Sorry I have bad news
I hate to tell bad news but I feel I have to so you stop searching...
You bricked your screen touch by flashing a wrong root files...
I tell you this because I have the some problem with my galaxy star
Here is the solution from other forum
"Hi, I had the same problem and the only one solution I've tested is changing the touch driver on the touch module. All you need is a broken touch (the donor) and a lot of patience.
Step1. Disassemble the working phone.
Step2. Carefully take out the touch module (here you need a lot of patience and time). DON'T TRY to change the driver on the assembled phone because the display will be destroyed. I speak from experience.
Step3. After the module is out unplug the touch panel from the display and blend out the driver.
Step4. Now you can change the driver. NEVER try to change the driver when it is on the display.
Step5. After finished changing the driver repeat all the steps in the reverse order.
It is working 100%."
He said working 100% but I say do it at your own risk or just take your phone to repair

Thanks salimtn for your reply
BUT
FIRST: I forgot to mention that I have replaced the device touch (not the screen only the touch) with a non-original one.
SECOND: I searched the forum for a similar problem and I found a very similar one with galaxy mega here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/help/galaxy-mega-4-4-2-4-4-4-touch-bootloop-t2922542
the guy made a video to fix the problem with software solution which can be summarized in the following:
- copied twrp recovery, update superuser, and a custom ROM called megafire - all zips - to internal phone memory
- installed philz touch with odin
- installed twrp through philz !!
and through twrp did the following
- update superuser
- wipe all caches
- factory reset
- installed ROM
- factory reset
AND it worked for him, I am new here, and I wish if someone can help me figure out a customization for this solution to match my Grand 2 problem, thanks again

My friend I had replaced the device touch too and this problem started on non officials touch
The problem now is how we could find this megafire ROM???
I have galaxy star and they didn't make for it a custom ROM yet
Any way a suggestion for you
Try to follow the process but instead of flashing mega fire ROM try cm11 or cm12 ROM or any other ROM and maybe you will be lucky
UPDATE
I saw the thread mentioned and the videos and they said you can use cm11 ROM so just check the thread again for proper procedure
Search grand 2 forum for philz and trwp recovery
Then go on and try
Just make sure you to choose the right recovery and supersu because some maid for 4.3 and some for 4.4

Ok, so I was able to flash this rom and boot the tablet. But when i get the OTA the tablet crashes...

The OTA was YT2-1050L_USR_S100192_1511191319_WW52_ROW

Now trying YT2-1050L_USR_S100081_1507241439_WW52_ROW, will update with results

Can it be that the OTA did not have all the right files. Or did the root process do something so that I can only flash stock roms?

I am really not getting any wiser on this intel world. Only been playing with Samsung, Nexus(LG/ASUS) and HTC

Any thoughts? Anyone??

And I can't post images, sorry for that :c

forgot this,
Thanks ionioni
after you flash remember to set your region code before taking any ota's (on the first Android boot go to Contacts and in the search contacts box input ####59930# and if it shows a two letter country code then you're good to go, if it shows 'unknown' then you need to set a country code, input in the same box ####6020# and chose a country, yours or a close one, tablet will reboot)

After you flashed the from,did you go to contacts and enter your Country code, without this code it will not take updates.
Sorry missed your last post.

I did
Now I have my tablet back!
Seems like there is a big difference between the ROM's (the YT2_1050L_USR* files)
Maybe we should have a tread with all the different ROM's?
I found this on Androidfilehost: Link to downloads for Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 by ionioni
But how do you see the difference between different roms. Many are big files even if they are not stock roms (with radio, droidboot, bootloader, bios etc)

Now I have 1050L_S100255_160113
Is this the latest ROM?

I think the differences are in the file names...after YT2 it tells you which file is for which model.

Unable to flash stock rom via Odin from custom ROM (Renovate ICE)

Hello,
I have on my S8 (G950F) Renovate ROM for almost one year, I will switch to new phone soon and I want give my current phone to my sister, so I wanted flash stock firmware and unroot device. Unfortunatelly I am not able do it. I tried manage it on two laptops, I use originanal USB-C cable, I tried few different last firmware from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, and this one as well- https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749171.
Odin software is 3.13.1 and drivers on my laptops should be okay because I am able flash TWRP. But when I tried flash stock firmware, I am getting some errors:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On screen on phone in Downlading mode after failed flash is showing:
sw rev. check fail device: 4. binary: 1
or
sw rev. check fail device 3 binary 2
Everything what I can do is flash custom ROMS from TWRP but I really want go back to Stock ROM so only Odin can do it I guess.
Thank you so much for your tips and help.
Veronika

Just a hint:
a had a similar behaviour on my Samsung tab S2.
The only thing that helped was flashing an really old stock ROM, specifically that one which was on the device at the time i bought it.
Maybe you could try it with an 7.0 Stock ROM.
You can get them from Here: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G950F&rpp=15&order=date&dir=asc&exact=1

Thank you.
I already tried flash custom Nougat ROM but I got same errors in Odin later.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/rom-batstock-rom-v1-0-t3598853.
So now I will try download first stock Nougat ROM from my carrier on sammobile site

Your issue is you are trying to flash older firmware (bootloader) version than what is on your phone. You will need the latest version with boot loader version 4
The firmware version should look like this G950FXXU4CRI5.

Thanks!
So this one should help me?

As long as it is for your region ( and carrier ). If not sure I would.use a program called samfirm. At the moment I am having issues pasting links so you will have to do a search or use sammobil or updato.

Done, firmware from link was correct and I was able flash it.
Thank you so much for your help.

There is a simple reason for this. If you came from TWRP as "reboot to download", this creates the problem. Turn off the phone. Go to download mode with Vol_Down+Bixby+Power and then press Vol_Up button. When I enter download mode like this, it flashes without any problems.

Boots only to TWRP - Need help fixing

Hi there. About a year or so ago I went about flashing my Tab but it went wrong and now all I can do is get it to boot to TWRP. Would someone be so kind as to tell me step by step what to do to get it back working? I'd prefer it to go back to stock ROM without TWRP or other 3rd party flash programs but I'll take what I can get. Help appreciated.
This is what I get when it boots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Bump.

Did you try booting to DL-mode (via adb reboot for example) and flash a stock ROM with ODIN?

I got a reply! Thank you!
No I didn't try that. To be honest I used to flash android stuff all the time but kind of having been doing much of that stuff the last few years so I don't remember how to do any of that. If you were so kind to provide me a link or walkthrough on what to do that would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks for the reply.

What was the goal when you started down the path of installing TWRP? It seems like you might have been part way there if you got that far?
There are Lineage install instructions here. <-- More importantly Odin Download if you don't already have it.
If you decide to try Lineage, the latest builds require new firmware found here. It can also be obtained by returning to stock and updating.
Anyways If you are in TWRP, in the restart menu there is an option to restart to download. If will reboot to a black screen, just hit the power button once when the screen goes off. Before you do this, you need to obtain stock firmware, from somewhere. (Sammobile or something like that) You will also need Odin, link above.
As with anything proceed at your own risk.
Once you have those files, you can extract the firmware. They will be labeled and go into those spots in Odin, AP, BL, CSC, then you should be able to hit start. I'm going from memory, as I haven't had to restore mine since I got it (and looking at the files in stock firmware file).

Idk how relevant this is anymore but I had this same issue after I install lineage 18, there's a multi-disabler zip I got awhile ago that fixes all my flashing problems related recovery loop. Just Google that zip, flash it then format and restart. That what I've done easy fix, this assumes you followed the basic steps to properly flash whatever it is you're trying to.
