[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_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).

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.

G900-F: Used TWRP to install xposed framework, now stuck on logo screen

I used TWRP to install xposed framework v86. I clicked the reboot now button after flashing it. My phone was stuck on the logo screen for 40minutes before I took out the battery. Now whenever I turn it on its just stuck on that screen. I also flashed SuperSU before but my phone worked perfectly fine after that. I'm completely clueless so any help would be appreciated! My S5 runs on Marshmallow (6.0.1). I've seen people mention reactivation lock and mine says off when in the downloading screen if that helps at all

What ROM are you using; and also which xposed version did you flash? There are different xposed zips for touchwiz roms. You can try running the xposed uninstaller.

I flashed xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip. I installed xposedinstaller_3.0alpha4.apk before. I can't put the xposed uninstaller onto my phone since my computer won't recognise my s5 unless its fully on (not in recovery mode or stuck on the logo screen)

Try put the uninstaller onto an SD card and flash from there? Anyways If you are running stock samsung touchwiz use this xposed build instead, as the official build is incompatible the samsung roms.

Unfortunately my phone doesn't recognise an SD card after my friends sim got stuck when he was using it on a holiday and he had to use a fork to push it out. Do you have any other suggestions?

Well then. I guess you can use USB-OTG? Or you can try this to get it to boot, and transfer the files from there.

Just flash the same stock ROM over the top with ODIN

Thanks. I followed this link (http://highonandroid.com/android-ro...android-in-a-bootloop-with-no-os-using-adb/2/) from the page and did everything it said. However when I put in
cd downloads
cd fastboot
adb devices
into the command prompt I get this back:
"'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
Do you know how to fix this so I get this screen instead?

Galaxy J5 SM-J500FN stuck on boot screen after flashing custom ROMs

Hello to everyone,
I hope that someone can help me at this point where i'm stuck on bootscreen after i flashed an custom ROM.
So, let me tell you my story.
I have a little of experience with flashing custom ROMs. And on my personal phone (Galasy S5) i succesfully installed over and over again custom ROMs. I really like the ROMs from AOSP Extended. They are covering all of my needs. So today i have an Samsung Galaxy J5 SM-J500FN. It is having some problems with the capacitive buttons(Back and multitasking buttons); those are playing however they want, so you can realise that entering in some app and your phone exiting fro it by itself is very annoyng. So on my S5 i have an option that can disable those buttons for good. And i wanted to install the Android &.1 Nougat offered by AOSP Extended today. So i ve got the TWRP from the official website for the right model of the phone (J500FN) and put it succesfully on it. I downloaded the ROM from official AOSP website, and succesfully installed it on the phone whithout any error. Then i installed the GApps nano, again with 0 errors. And when i was relaxing a little bit hoping that everything it s allright, when i wanted to boot up the phone, it froze up at boot screen (At the moment with that logo with Samsung ... powerd by Android). Then in a couple of seconds it started to turn to an green screen and then to an white screen. At this point, everything is frozen. So i removed the battery and entered in recovery mode(TWRP). There was no problem (only with those capactive buttons that i want to block).. But anyway, i donloaded several ROMs and nothing so far. I tried with anoter TWRP version, samething, stuck on boot screen.
Until my first atempt to flash the custom ROM, the phone worked just fine, only that those buttons ware going crazy. But now, i can't start it up in every mode i can think of.
Can anyone help me with this, please?! Any ideea of how to slve it?
TWRP version 3.1.1-1 j5 nlte
Firmware version: AospExtended-v4.5-j5ltexx-20170816-2007-OFFICIAL
Phone version: SM-J500FN
Tried with various TWRP versions and ROMs. Installing with and without GApps. All the results were the same like in the pictures below:
1) Start up like a normal Android phone

}
2) The the big surprise
3) Getting colorfull
4) Advancing...
For now, i can flash with Odin any version of TWRP, i can flash from TWRP any firmware, but i cannot get it boot up normally.
I don't have any backups from stock firmware so, please don t ask me about that.
Thanks in advance...

Look at the aosp file you downloaded. It says j5LTE.
Your device is j5nlte not j5lte you tried to install the wrong file.
Simple as that.
And if that isnt your problem you may have the wrong bootloader and modem but changing that is easy just follow the guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...5-1-1-bootloader-modem-j500xx-t3566801/page15

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.",

}

Bump.

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

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.
