After failing with installing different versions of TWRP om my tablet (There is no working version on TWRP for my model- system revert itself to the Stock recovery mode), at some point I noticed, that I can power on tablet and get to Welcome screen and start tablet configuration, but right after 20th seconds system freezes for few seconds and reboots over and over. If I just power on system and let it stay without touching screen it will reboots after 20 second.
If I go to the Recovery mode, there is not reboots. I did system hard reset in Recovery mode no help.
I thought it is problem with ROM, and flashed Stock Rom with Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant. Same issue with reboots, then I tried some other ROM’s regions with same issue. Before I got this issue, other ROM’s used to work just fine.
QUALCOMM flash utility did not help as well.
I am just interesting is this issue with System board or it is software issue and I can fix this.
I have the same issue. I have been able to root through a patched boot image, but cannot get recovery to flash no matter what. It says all went successfully, but then always reboots. I have the 2GB version.
I just want to install an updated ROM since lenovo abandoned our devices.

I've just spent days trying to get my TB-X704V to flash. I finally found out how. The issue I ran into is the recovery mode never worked. I found one that did. Big caveat here. Once I flashed the recovery image, I could no longer boot the stock rom.
I found the recovery image looking for X704A, and ended up with the files at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QyUGBPi-KZrhSVFLOCs3lHUZ59fpe9KL/view (not my files). This is Chinese/English version. You can change language in the menu.
Follow the directions on flashing it at the quick boot menu and unplug and go into recovery mode.
Download the latest lineage OS: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117916469
Install the OS. The initial boot will take a few minutes, but it will boot.

Thank you so much, I was able to boot straight into TWRP using that Chinese/English image. I spent days last week unsuccessfully trying to boot my TB-X704V into the twrp-3.2.3-0-tb_x704l.img recovery image, but it never took no matter what I tried.

Hi!
First I tell you how I recently messed up my LG G2 D802.
I hadn't had a custom rom for ages and now I wanted to have one (This wasn't the first time. I've done this a lot earlier). I had always had root access, but not custom recovery. So the first thing was to install one and I chose to download Rom Manager from Google Play, and then install ClockWorkMod. So, when I was installing the custom recovery I came up with a problem: something went wrong during the installation (I have no idea why). When I booted the device, white letters and numbers appeared on the top left of the screen, saying something like: "boot certification error" and numbers like "[780] [800]" and so on. The screen went black and the phone didn't load the OS. So I was shocked of course because I had never had such a problem.
So, desperate for trying everything to find the solution, I tried tens of ways to try to fix the problem. Finally I read about thing called SRKTool. So I used it and ended up having TWRP on my device, and no OS at all. I tried to flash CM12 and CM12.1 (downloaded from the official site) but nothing works out. TWRP says that flashing the ROM is succesful but when rebooting the system it doesn't load the OS but it comes back to TWRP Recovery mode - WHATEVER I DO. I can't enter the Download -mode at all. I tried hard reseting (Power + Vol - keys), but once again it boots to the TWRP. I can't understand why the TWRP fails to flash the ROM even though it's saying the process was successful. Or maybe this problem is much more internal - and permanent.
After tens of XDA developers' threads I'm writing this here because I'm in need of help. I want to bring my G2 to back in life. I'm out of ideas. Can you help me? I tried to flash the stock firmware but guess what happened? The installation failed, and the device booted back to TWRP. So all I'm able to do is to use the TWRP Recovery. I appreciate your help. Thank you.
(Ps. I'm sorry if I break the rules by writing a new thread. My problem just seems to be so unique that I couldn't find help anywhere.)
If you have access to twrp than you can do what ever is needed
what twrp version douy you have?
enabel MTP, so you can copy from PC

The solution is easy. Download the stock rom for your model and install it with otg cable. The reason cm12 is not booted is because you need jb bootloader or caf bootstacks.

The current version is 2.8.7.3. Should I try other versions?
Did you solve the issue? Or is it still not allowing you to get into your F/W?

Hi!
I tried to install TWRP version 2.6.6.3, but it fails to flash it so I'm stuck with the version 2.8.7.3. All I'm able to enter is just the recovery mode. I can't enter the download mode so I can't flash the stock firmware.
Currently I'm out of ideas. I can't flash any OS, the TWRP fails everytime and creates errors.
Try flash bumped kernel like lp dorimanx then flash bumped bootstak then lp rom like cloudy or stock. Or google this: lg g2 unbrickable now xda ...that work for me
I do not know if this question has been brought up before, but I am in desperate need of an answer. I recently got my 6P and immediately proceeded to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP to start loading custom roms. I decided to start use Pure Nexus with it's accompanying gapps package but when I go to reboot the device, I am stuck at the circles boot animation. I decide to try CM13 nightlies and the same problem occurs. After searching online for some time, I realize I needed to flash a SuperSU file from recovery that flashes a custom boot.img. I flash Version 2.66 and restart the device. After 5+ minutes on the boot screen, I decided I am stuck still. What do I need to do, I am unable to boot the device.
Thanks.
I'd use Nexus Root Toolkit to unbrick your phone just so that it is working to start with. Then follow the steps more closely for installing a rom. You'll be doing something wrong, I've had no issues!! Best of luck with this.
hmm I'm not sure. this is happening to me right now as I try to restore my backups... maybe has to do with twrp's system handling/mounting, but I just don't know.
Hi,
as the title says, my phone is not booting anymore, after I transplanted the motherboard from a frame with a broken screen into a new frame (from china).
Abbreviations used:
RR => Resurrection Remix 5.8.5
CWM => ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.4.6-kitkat
TWRP => TeamWinRecoveryProject 3.2.1-1
I was using RR from the Rock Stable Setup on it before and it worked beautifully.
What happened:
I performed the mainboard-transplantation according to the iFixit guide
I held the power button to boot the phone:
It vibrated
It showed this screen for a couple of seconds
It vibrated
Back to step 1
And that until I removed power.
Then I tried to boot into recovery mode by holding the key combination on boot:
Same as above, but with this bootscreen
Then I tried to boot into download mode by holding the key combination on boot:
The warning to confirm download mode poped up and I got to see this screen.
I connected it to my PC and opened odin 3.09 and it recognized the device.
I tried to get adb and fastboot to see the device, but nothing worked. (In the old frame and before I broke the screen, it would be recognized at this stage)
I flashed TWRP with odin, odin showed the green "PASS!", but booting to recovery still failed.
I proceeded to flash a stock ROM, which had worked when I had issues with RR.
It worked, I went through the Android 5 setup process, enabled debug and connected adb.
adb saw the phone.
I rebooted to recovery and stock recovery booted correctly.
Sideloading anything with adb failed due to signature verification.
I then went back to download mode and flashed CWM successfully.
It now boots into recovery, but whenever I try to flash anything with CWM, it fails showing this screen
Or something similar (the photo comes from flashing RR 5.8.5)
I have both linux and windows properly setup and used both with adb, fastboot and odin (only windows)/heimdal (only linux).
I checked drivers and usb cables.
I opened the phone back up and checked all connections.
But I can't get any version of RR, CyanogenMod or LineageOS on there.
I've searched the internet, but people that have these kinds of problems after replacing parts of their phones, seem to only have driver issues or skipped steps in the manuals of custom ROM installations.
If you have any idea on what I could try or what I'm doing wrong or not doing, please leave an answer.
I'll keep this post updated below here:
(no updates, yet)
Thanks so much in advance
Simon
Your picture shows stock recovery not CWM .
Try flashing TWRP recovery through Odin .
I did flash TWRP and afterwards there was no recovery anymore.
When I flash CWM, I get the recovery shown in the photo.
The stock recovery has a black background and no touch controls for me.
What you saw must have been CWM.
Update: I can flash twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar and it works. It's the only image that works, but I still can't boot into or flash any custom OS.
The only working OS I have at the moment is a stock android 5.0, which is not all that useful...
If anyone has an idea, why I can't or how I can find out what is causing it, please say so.

What do you mean by ANY ??
Well, exactly that.
Regardless of what zip I flash, I end up with a bootloop.
If I flash a recovery zip, the recovery bootloops, but the OS still boots.
If I flash a custom ROM, I can still boot into recovery fine, but booting normally results in a bootloop.
The only way to get software onto my phone has been via odin and only an old CWM, Philz Touch, TWRP (Version 2.8.7.0 and below) and STOCK Android (Versions 4.3, 4.4.2, 5).
Anything else I have tried so far did not result in an error, but I couldn't boot into it either.
If you have ideas for software I can try flashing, please tell. I really have no idea how to get the damn thing to work again...
What happens when you flash correct stock rom via Odin ??
I mean that I can boot into it after flashing it via Odin.
But its terribly slow and bloated compared to ROMs like ResurectionRemix, so I don't want to use it.

In that case phone is OK .
Usual is that user is failing to follow instructions .
Not sure what you mean by fastboot on a N9005 .sounds like not a N9005 .
Personally with TWRP 2.8.70 i would be flashing something like .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-magma-nx-rom-t3508672
as its correct TWRP .
I am able to follow instructions.
Thank you very much.
I followed exactly the same procedure that has worked many times when switching between custom ROMs.
Also, the phone has a perfectly working version of Ressurection Remix installed at the time my frame broke and it did get stuck in the same bootloop after replacing the frame, even thogh the software was exactly the same.
I am looking for help analyzing the boot process and some way of capturing the kernel log when booting to determine where the error occures that traps the phone in a bootloop.

Dear Mate..
Have you solved your problem? I have same problem after transplating N900 frame.
Sorry, I gave up, since I dearly needed a working phone and bought a OnePlus 3 cheaply from ebay second hand. It's been working like a charm and I threw the note into my museum after I softbricked it for the n-th time and couldn't get it out of a bootloop that didn't leave me time to go into Fastboot.
Sorry friend, but I can't help with this.
after reading a lot of similar threads, seems like the hardware is the cause of us not able to update to higher versions of twrp(& custom roms)
It's been a while since I unlocked my mobile's bootloader, following the steps of a you tube video specifically from the Tecnocat channel. Everything was going well until I thought I did not have any system because whenever I started it it went straight to recovery. Install roms and the same. Until I decided to go directly to the bootloader and start it from there. Of surprise it worked, there was no problem with the system. Everything works fine, but every time I turn off the phone and turn it on it starts in recovery and I have to boot it in fasboot mode and from there start the system. It's tedious, and for example I can not do restarts. I already reprimand the recovery from different sources, and I can not find a solution. Please help
Similar issue
I'm having a similar issue except mine started after mistakenly installing a OTA update (Sept. I think) on a xt1687. Rooted (magisk) with TWRP recovery on stock ROM. Every time I boot it goes into recovery mode, and the only way to get into the phone is through TWRP Reboot > Bootloader, then Start.
I tried flashing the latest stock ROM I could find, but still have the same issue. Only now I'm getting nagged with Install System Update New Version NPNS25.137-93-18. I know better now to follow the OTA update guides, but how do I get the phone back to the way it was before the update? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Greetings everyone,
today I purchased a new G950F S8. Immediately I wanted to root the device, and in order to do so - installed TWRP via Odin 3.13.3 (flashed the newest version for Exynos models downloaded from their web-site). The flashing process went through fine - everything checked out, at least seemingly.
When I first restarted my phone (followed the instruction), it booted up in it's default recovery, NOT TWRP recovery. That seemed strange, so I double checked the instruction - which claimed I need to quickly boot into recovery, as soon as the flashing process is done and the phone is first restarted. Maybe I was slow.. I re-flashed TWRP, and this time it booted into TWRP. Now, this is when the problem started.
I didn't touch anything within TWRP, I was just satisfied to see it installed. When I tried to restart into System, I got the Samsung logo bootloop. I couldn't power off the phone, nor could I boot it up. I could, however, alternate between download mode and TWRP. I tried changing System format and then changing it back to original (saw that somewhere), but it didn't help. Tried factory reset without results.
Finally I downloaded official stock ROM for Italy, flashed via Odin and everything works fine.
Thing is - I really want to root my phone. Had no issues with my Note 3 previously. I wouldn't want to get into more trouble, so I'm kindly asking for some advice, or a useful link (I searched all over but didn't find anything that would make me feel confident enough not to screw it up again) to how I can do this safely.
I'm using Android 9, official stock ROM for Italy.

When you first flash twrp and boot into twrp you have to format phone from within twrp, then flash no Verity zip and rmm bypass zip. If you reboot system before you format then you get bootloop. There is full instructions in a thread here on XDA.
