Hoping someone can help me.
Was tweaking on my phone this morning-I was in recovery (TWRP), wiped everything, installed a rom/gapps (Liquid beta 3) and then, without rebooting, restored the backup of my Liquid beta 3.1 over it. (I was trying to wipe any remnants of the kernel from my previous rom by flashing the rom). I guess that's a no-no cause now my Nexus 4 won't turn on or anything. I feel lost without my phone.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
Can you access download mode ?

+1 flashing uses battery fast..
Hey,
So I flashed a custom rom on my AT&T Galaxy S IV. Everything seems to be working fine.
Until, I hold on my power menu than click on Reboot my phone. When I do that, my phone shuts down and reboots but it's always stuck in the Samsung Custom Screen. The max I have waited is 30 minutes for it to work. But it never does.
I'm running TWRP Recovery Mode.
I tried every roms in the AT&T Section. All of them seems to have that problem. I also used ktoonsez kernel. Nothing at all.
With stock AT&T rom everything seems to be fine.
I was wondering if it's happening to you guys as well. If you can try, please hold into your power button and reboot your phone clicking on reboot.
Thank you!
I have that happen sometimes, but if I go into recovery when that happens and fix permissions it boots up fine after.

make sure you flashed the correct ktoonsez kernal..one for aosp, one for touchwiz
And flash Loki Doki patch if required, although you'd probably get the 'software not compatible' error if Loki was missing.

So at first I used this [ROOT] Root Samsung Galaxy S4 with Motochopper. Same problem.
Went back to stock and used this
[ROOT[RECOVERY] Loki + TWRP + Motochopper CASUAL-R527b release:27May13. Same problem encountered.
Went back to stock and did it again using Same problem with this one as well.
It happens with every custom rom besides the stock rom and Cyanogenmod Rom. I can't even reboot to do anything .
Thanks for the help guys, I greatly appreciate it.
There is something else happening, does this happen on a backup you may have?
You do have a backup correct? It is rule #1

Yes, I do have a backup. It happens to every custom ROM that I have encountered with.
Stock & Cyanogenmod roms work fine when rebooting.
Would you mind sharing what kernel you are using? I jused used faux kernel. Same thing.
i meant more like what procedures are you using when you wipe and flash? your issue is not related to root method or a particular custom recovery.

Sorry for the confusion, I used your guide!
I have the solution.
I can bet that when you wiped your phone you didnt just factory reset on twrp you WIPED the whole partition.
So when TWRP made another one it messed up thats why it doesnt work after a reboot.
I am 1000000% sure of this.
So go back to stock then factory reset through STOCK recovery and then install rom and factory reset click the icon on the left not the one on the right that makes you type 'yes'
TWRP doesnt format the partition correctly for our phones.
and the fact that the bootloader is still locked messes things up.
I am 1000000% sure of this.
are you really sure?
j/k, perfect.

Just got a little update
How to install this patch update on rooted phone? Is it possible to make a stock recovery and unroot without losing any of data?
Thanks

I did try to install it, the file downloaded and phone rebooted... then Prince's recovery screen loaded up, forgot I rooted the phone the other day using his excellent "Lenovo K3 Note Manager" tool
I might unroot my phone another day and try to install it again. The only thing bugging me about the marshmallow update is a problem I'm having with bluetooth streaming, songs aren't resuming when I disconnect/reconnect they restart. I doubt this update will fix it anyway, from what I've read it might have to wait until 6.0.1 is released..

Did you unroot your phone using a fabulous Lenovo K3 Note Manager 3.0? What about replacing TWRP with stock recovery? Does Note manager replace it automaticaly?
Thanks a lot, A.

I used version 3 to root the phone, but I haven't tried unrooting it yet.
After update the wifi is very stable and i am getting the full bandwidth that my ISP provide.
Any way this update can be packaged as an update.zip ??
My phone is rooted and on TWRP (s422 clean rom)... I would rather not unroot, and redo the stock recovery, just for this update, but I am getting data connection drops after power cycling.

Use this Slick S424 ROM: http://www.needrom.com/download/slick-s424-row/
Make a complete backup via TWRP and follow the instructions below, than restore only data partitions you made before. Works like a charm
Thanks... Did that (not seamlessly) and its currently just updating my apps..

After updating, I found some issues. One of them is Ebay client - does not work anymore :crying:
Isn't there a way to replace the updater script from the original lenovo 4mb 424 update with a modified one so it works with TWRP?
But how sir give me updater scripts
I just flashed the s424 TWRP backup over my S422.. worked fine.. Kept root and TWRP.

So was your phone rooted?
Did you lose the root access after updating or was it still there? AFAIK this update shouldn't do anything to root, but you can never tell

What did you use to flash over TWRP? did you modify update script inside the update file?

Anyone able to create a restart menu that can restart to recovery? Have tried to do a few instructions but run into areas that do not match and it gets quite confusing for me. So anyone can assist would be great. I have a SM-T550

Did you get any PMs or figure anything out, other than Xposed and Gravitybox. That's how I get an extended reboot menus like you get in CM builds.

Haven't received any information at all. I did attempt to do it from this Post but failed for some reason and my tablet wouldn't boot, just stuck on logo. Not thought of xposed module at all because I would think it would act as a third party app. Those do not get along well with the TWRP 3.0.2-1 recovery by @ashyx. If you use 3rd party app to reboot to recovery with that version, you'll be stuck in recovery and not be able to boot to system until you reinstall the recovery with same instructions as first time you install it.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.7.0 by @ashyx and I use the reboot function in Gravitybox and it is working just fine for me with no bootloops. I will look into how to add the reboot function into the rom and see if I come up with anything and if I do, I will be sure to let you know.
I tried @ashyx 2.8.7 twrp but touches were way out of line so had to go back to 3.0.2 recovery. I think it has to do with the MM 6.0.1 firmware.

yea that may be the reason the 2.8.7 doesn't like my tab being it's T550. you should make your rom work on the 550 hehehe

If I had that device for testing I would. I would hate to make something that would screw up someone's device. If its mine, I dont care but not on someone else's.
If it is rooted, give this a try.

I use Simple Reboot for now. Still holding out hope someone can make a restart menu. :cyclops:
A+ for simple reboot, been using it on a few different androids and no problems.
Well I have no problem flashing stock rom back, but everytime I flash TWRP it seems to just want to go in a bootloop. I have G928R4 USC on 7.0, every time I restart the phone it just bootloops. I can access TWRP but when I reboot it pulls that crap -_- Please help. Thank you

Yes on the latest twrp. Idk what the issue is.
Would it be because I'm on 7.0? Idk if that's a thing but I would assume it wouldn't be the case.

Yes I'm sure I'm using the right one for my device. I have never had this issue before.
Went back to twrp 3.0.2.0 and it's fine, I guess it was just the latest release that was the issue.
