Problem with LineageOS 15.1 & TWRP install - Xperia Z2 Tablet General

So, i have dusted off my old Z2 tablet, and wanted to update it to LineageOS 15.1. iam following the guide on Cyoanomods site. (Cant link, since i am a new member)
I have "rooted" it with sonys own guide. No problem there.
I have installed the ADB and fastboot on my pc. Can connect to it no problem.
Boot to bootloader via ADB no problem. Then i try to flash TWRP to recovery , it says OKAY to both sending and writing.
But the device just boots as normal, no matter if i use the reboot recovery command or by using the devices buttons. Just a standard recovery seems to happen.
The only strange thing i can think of is that the flash goes fairly fast, both tasks finishes in 1.6 seconds. Dont know if that is normal.
Tried to search around almost all day, but nothing gets any clearer. Found something that TRWP may not even work on the xperia units since it uses some other kind of boot partition.
Any ideas?

hi possla,
I have also just brought my Z2 tablet out of the sink and now I want to flash it with LineageOS 15.1. First, a question, do you have a current link to LOS15.1 for me?
Apart from that, I still remembered my fights with the tablet a few years ago, I flashed TWRP for backups, but when I flashed a new system it did not work with TWRP, so I have the CWM recovery 6.0.4.6 (Touch) on that Flashed tablet, so it worked fine, just try it.
If you had a LOS15.1 link for me it would be great, thanks in advance!
Greeting Torsten

Same problem for the past 2 years

Shut the device down. Switch it on. Wait until the led turns green. Now hit a volume button several times

Hi, i don't know if other thread's members encounter the same problem, but for me there is no light during boot form the device. Maybe it's only on this device but i can't get the solid green light during ADB mode. In this case i'm unable to enter Recovery Mode too after flash several times ...

[Q] Phone always boots to fastboot

Hey all, I figured it was time to make a post and see if anyone could help figure out what I'm missing.
So I recently got my G2 and rooted it, then I installed Team Win Recovery Mod (on accident, actually. Was intending to install Clockwork, but figured it wouldn't hurt anything and it was working fine). Anyway, moved on to install Cyanogen Mod and gapps following the usual factory reset -> flash from /sdcard/ approach. Unfortunately on reboot, it went into fastboot mode.
Since then I've read a ton of stuff about fastboot, and I've reflashed recovery, boot, and system a dozen times, but I'm still stuck in fastboot mode. I've grabbed the CWM for LG G2 (AT&T) from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and the latest stable Cyanogen Mod from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/D802_Info. Sadly everything I've seen just tells me to do what I did - reflash recovery and tell it to reboot. I've also tried the "volume down + power until logo, then release and re-hit" method of getting into recovery mode, but the logo is present for literally less than a second, so I just end up back in fastboot.
Perhaps I need to find an flash a stock OS first? The thread on returning to stock firmware scares me :/ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 Edit: I gave in and tried playing with this anyway. No good, I can't get the phone to enter "download mode", no matter what I do, it reboots into fastboot.
Any ideas?
Edit: The flash method I used for TWRM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
Edit2: This seems possibly relevant. When I do "fastboot devices", I get "? fastboot". So something is wonky in terms of its detection. But all the commands seem to be getting executed fine...
Edit3: Finally a potentially useful piece of info: If I flash the boot image extracted from the Cyanogen mod zip, then run "fastboot continue" I get "ERROR: Getting device tree address failed". Which is the same message I get when trying to remotely run a boot image without flashing it. Possibly related to the "?" in the "fastboot devices" listing above? I switched to Koush's Universal Adb Drivers, but no change.
Pretty please?
I find it hard to believe I could manage to brick a 2 week old phone just by following the guides posted here
Well, I still have no clue what went wrong, but I was finally able to make use of the reset to stock thread. It was strange and scary and at no point did I really have any idea I was hitting the right buttons, and at the end it said it failed... BUT it rebooted me into a fresh install, apparently even unrooted! My problems along the way appear to have entirely been related to actually getting the phone *into* download mode since I couldn't get it to actually turn off. Once it ran itself out of battery and turned off, I was able to enter download mode while reconnecting it to power.
No to decide if I want to try installing a custom ROM again, or take this as a sign...
Who am I kidding. *re-roots phone and pulls up the mod threads*

B2017G from Custom Rom+Root back to Stock and bricked?

My Axon 7 mini give a infinity Bootloop...Have Flashed back from Custom Rom+Twrp+ Root back to Stock and nothing works. Can Enter only Recovery, Adb Sideload and Loading my Battery. Pc recognizes only my Smartphone when loading the battery. See this under devices and printer as Android.
Have follow this Thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini/development/firmware-stock-firmware-t3696538 and flashed the Eu Files over TWRP and finished the Installation and Reboot my Phone goes Infinite Bootloop...
I can enter EDL see this on the White Pixel Field on the bottom corner or is this false?
I have the same right now. Someone solved problem like this? Link500, did you solve Your problem?
Same here, it's a shame, such a great device but only worked 1 week and then I got the same kind of problems, have you discovered something new?
I have a similar problem, I flashed the eu files and now the phone reboot constantly, neither recovery mode starting.

Hard Brick P10 Lite - need help

Hello everyone, just wanted to say a quick thanks, after successfully rooting and installing custom roms on two phones thanks to the information on these forums, third time turns out to be a charm and I managed to hard brick my new P10 lite.
The situation right now:
no charge light, no combination of buttons will do anything, phone is dead and will not boot or vibrate.
my computer will recognize that a phone is connected, for example Hisuite will pop up when i connect the phone, and in device manager, it shows Lemobile android device and the submenu says Android bootloader interface.
how i got here:
i was trying to install lineage 14.1 from this haky86
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...m-lineageos-14-1-huawei-p8-lite-2017-t3649292
but before i did that, i used this guide to install twrp and supersu:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418
everything went fine, on the stock operating system i had root and system was running.
when i installed lineage, i lost root and couldnt figure out how to get it back. so i used this guide to restore the stock system and was going to try again from the beginning.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097
however, when i tried to reinstall lineage for the second, third and fourth time, i kept getting stuck in a bootloop with the lineage animation. it seemed to me that i needed to flash the vendor image, and i found a guide on xda how to do it, but it wouldnt let me flash to the vendor partition. (sorry, i dont recall the exact error and i cant get there anymore :/)
so in massive frustration and desperation, i tried to use this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...uide-unbrick-huawei-p8-lite-2017-pra-t3713574
which i know is for a p8 and i never should have tried to install it, but it went through the whole download process and at about 50-60% on the recovery the phone went black and never turned on again.
i have read that perhaps disconnecting the battery for a few minutes might help? or is this something that dc unlocker can help with?
any advice would be greatly appreciated. if more information is needed, please let me know.
Hi,
Have you tried completely turning off your phone (pressing on/off button for roughly 20 seconds) and then booting into recovery (pressing Volume Up and Power key simultaneously for rouhgly 10 seconds)?
Best,
Kenny
Thanks for the reply, but as I said, no button combinations elicit any response. The only sign that the phone is not completely dead is that it will be recognized by my computer as an android phone, but adb (for example) says no device is connected.
lineage gives you bootloop due to wrong data partition format
bricked my p10 lite several times same ending
only way that always gets the phone back to life is flashing lineage, i took haazan's one
BUT BEFORE flashing the lineage 14.1 zip check partition format is ext4
when back on lineage and stock ROM is wanted boot into twrp and re change format to f2ts or how it is named and flash the stock zip
unbricked
edit:
saw your second post too late
if the phone does not response on any button(s) maybe adb sideload command for change partition format and then sideloading the lineage zip is a way?
I have a similar problem, I have a custom rom (Elemental) but I flash another custom rom, it was normal, in the reboot it not turn on, only is in fastboot mode, i flash original system, cust, boot, and another but it is the same, help me please

[PROBLEM] MI A1 Black Screen Image after boot Image

Hello, it is my first time trying to write a post on xda so excuse me if I do something wrong.
I've been playing with Roms a lot of time, installing, uninstalling, bricking and unbricking phones. so have a pretty good idea of how it works but now I just don't know what I did wrong and my phone is just ... in a black screen after boot image.
I was currently on DP5 android 9 by @joeyhuab and everything worked perfectly. Today was released android Pie and I just want to try it. So, I made the steps for DP5 to PR1 and everything runs well until I reboot from TWRP to the system. Now when I turn the phone on. it just appears the boot logo and later a black screen.
I can't restart the phone pressing the power button after some seconds but it goes to the boot image and later the black image screen (of the dead) appears.
1. I can't go to TWRP. (power+ Vol+)
2. I can't go to Fastboot. (power+ Vol-)
3. Charge Image is not displaying.
Windows sounds when i connected on the black screen state but fastboot don't.
This is my first time dealing with this kind of problem. I just don't know what would be the next step to try, Mi A1 is one of the best phones and I don't want to lose it.
Thank you for reading XDA, You are the best

I also had this issue I think it is because of any xposed modules or magisk modules.
When I flashed xposed uninstaller, the phone revived

I am not able to do that I can't go to twrp mode here also same black black screen.I can go to fastboot mode but I am not enabled usb debugging mode and system is not recognising mobile.
Help me how can I solve this..
Thanks in advance. ?
Install 'scrcpy' in your PC. Try to flash twrp from PC using fastboot and adb method. (I hope fastboot shows up on your phone) if u can boot to twrp via PC then go ahead and install any other rom. If u can't then connect your phone to PC and open scrcpy.exe here you can control your screen. (Most custom roms come with usb debugging enabled, if not try " AEX V.6.1 rom)
Usb debugging is compulsory. Thanks a lot for the information I will try this.
So i had this exact same issue. It was booting to twrp but screen was just blank.
i was trying to root the devive so i flashed the zip file by following command through adb
adb shell twrp install /sdcard/Magisk-v23.0.zip
it flashed the magisk and it was done. Similarly you can flash any zip file. If zip file is not copied to internal memory you can copy it using following command
adb push Magisk-v23.0.zip /sdcard/
I hope it helps someone in need.
Thanks.
Hi similar problem. Phone was locked in bootloop. I use reset pin and flash latest fw, flash successful in 220sec. Then screen stays black. Holding any combination will power up phone with black screen... wonder if it burn resistor or it is a flash issue. Trying to reflash again, however it stays 1000sec and still flashing.
Hi have mine FIXED.
Tried again to flash with android 9. Not able to finish flash in 4hrs. Then disconnect. Screen show battery 100%, then again only black screen but powered. Also 3 buttons are lighting. So I start pushing them and the screen, got some feedback and sound from touching the screen. Then the phone restart, screen ON. Show the normal white screen and ENCRYPTING storage screen that should come after flash. Then again reboot itself and start installing android (just taking a lot of time). Now all work on android 9, not giving option for OEM update to android 10, however afraid to flash again... good enough for my son (either way will break it in an year).
p.s
Im Samsung S class user for 10 years, so it is quite unfriendly phone... (need debugging on to connect to PC, for file transfer )
At last I found a way to run TWRP on tissot correctly without black screen.

Phone in bootloop, cant access recovery

Hi guys,
this is my first x compact. I unlocked the bootloader per sony's instructions on their site + what I read here.
I flashed twrp, booted to recovery, and wiped and installed the lineage 16.0 which is stickied.
Everything worked great but various rootcheckers said still not rooted. This bothered me.
I followed the thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/stock-8-0-root-recovery-t3747479).
I used flashtool to flash stock oreo. After that, bootloops. And can't access recovery.
I can still enter flash mode and fastboot mode, but using the CMD in platform-tools, phone not recognized.
There must be something I can do? Thank you.

Use Flashtool again, and this time, before clicking , in the box that says "wipe", check 'userdata'.
Back up anything you want to save in internal storage.

No problem - I'm messing around with a Samsung at the moment, but I still check in here from time to time. I think XC is my favorite phone so far... XZ2C was really nice too, but (unofficially) official Sailfish OS puts XC on top for me...

Hi friend, please maybe you can help me. I have almost the same issue. But after using LineageOS for some days, my phone stuck in boot logo. I managed to use Flash Tool to flash latest original stock ROM (Customized IBE). Strangely the flash process ended OK, but the phone still stuck in boot logo. I'm only able to force shut down with Volumen Up+Power Off (3 vibrates). Not possible to enter Recovery Mode.
I'm 98% sure that I have flashed with check in wipe USERDATE and also in CUST-RESET. But I wanted to try again, and now Im not able to enter flashmode. Phone gets green light, when volume down, but Flashstool is not recognizing the phone.
Thanks in advance

Does fastboot work? Also, what do you ultimately want to do, return to stock?

yes, after hard work to install drivers, I managed to get the phone to be recognized by Flashtool in fastboot mode. But the phone is not charging when turned off, and its not rebooting. I wanted to try again with stock ROM, since I got some battery issues with LineageOS (phone turned off while playing some games, and worked fine while doing the same with usb cable charging to laptop or AC charger.)
But I cannot do anything right now. Only fastboot mode and force restart works, but it stuck in Sony logo (after normal bootloader unlock 5 seconds warning). What can I do?
