[Q] after installing new kernel, cannot get into recovery, multiple crashes, hangs

i just installed this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804374
and since then, i have had multiple problems. multiple things force close, programs dont load, everything hands (like when i hit power off, it just hangs with the circle then everything freezes up and i have to hold power button for 15 - 20 secs to turn off device).
cannot get into recovery - everytime i try to from bootloader it hangs at the google page and if i try to get into from rom manager, rom manager doesnt even load
does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

can you link me to it? the only one I can find is from another post and it includes init.d support.
thanks!

fck.. this is not good. I tried using wugs toolkit and flashed the stock kernel with init.d support but it got messed up somewhere after it installed a temporary recovery and now it boots straight into recovery and I cannot boot into the actual tablet. I just flashed the stock 4.1.2 rom here

I think I was able to flash the factory stock image because I finally got it to boot, but its in the "android is upgrading" phase, so I will post after if this worked or if I tried the above.
thanks!

now it is intermittently booting up and intermittently booting straight into recovery.

I believe ive fixed it. I booted back into the OS 3 times and no booting into recovery. thanks!

I'm having the same issue now after flashing faux's kernel. You had to reflash a stock image from the toolkit to fix it?

yes except it took multiple multiple times to work and actually stick. i thought i had it and it was booting fine and it is booting fine now, but my performance is abysmal. its like 25% of what it was.
i have no poewr because of hurricane sandy (on coimputer at work) so i cant even use it or update it. i am strongly considering OEM relocking the tablet and starting over from scratch. performance is almost back to the lag we had before 4.1.2 was released.

[Q] LG G2 stuck on TWRP menu bootloop

Hi . I purchased a used LG G2 and didnt know that teamwin was installed or if it was stock or rooted.
I noticed an update available and downloaded the same, post which my phone restarted and is now in a bootloop of Team Win recovery Projects menu.
I am not able to get the phone to boot Android anymore
Request all of my senior colleagues to help me as I am a total Newbie and tried to get it fixed from the LG service center but even they couldnt do it as the process is getting stuck at the same place each time.

Recovery-Mode
Can u acsses recovery menu?
Turn phone completly off then hold volume down and home button when screen shows LG then again volume down and homebutton.
Then it should popup a white screen that says Hard Reset.
Now press Home button twice.
Now recovery should load.
Now u select wipe data factroy reset and swipe to right.
Now select reboot device.

What carrier? AT&T, VZW, TMOB.....

Hello.. I am afraid that in panic i might have formatted everything with TWRP. That might include a rom file.
I tried the power volum buttom---- Got to the white screen----pressed power button to confirm format----It rebooted and got me to the same Team win screen
I also tried putting the following in the terminal command but ended up stuck at the LG boot screen Logo
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Yes I did. It asked me to reboot, so I did. and after reboot it gets stuck at the LG boot Screen logo.

that should put you to the moment before you took ota if you want stock you have to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 after you get out of bootloop

If teamwin is actually loading you could just flash a rom through there?

To go back to completely stock you will have to do it with a kdz, there is a guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625044
Otherwise the easiest solution would to be to flash a flashable rom either stock or aosp, there are now stock kitkat versions flashable but for me to help you with this i need to know what recovery version you are on and your phone variant.

I am having a similar issue, I've wiped my stock rom using TWRP, unfortunately the Rom I was trying to install is corrupted and now I am stuck. For some reason Mount and ADB sideload options arent doing anything for me i.e. my phone does not show up on my PC.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so the phone does show up under device manager but Windows is complaining that the drivers arent installed. I know the drivers are installed because I used the same machine to root the phone not too long ago via ADB and everything worked fine. I've tried downloading drivers from LG site and re-installing them but for some reason the phone still isnt getting recognized under device manager

Did understand some part of . Is this KDZ file a ROM? And how and where should I paste these to Install the ROM?
If TeamWin is failing to install the rom, Is there any other way to flash the rom?

Ok one of your problems will be that that version of TWRP is very outdated now and has a lot of issues,
Start by downloading this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679 and flashing it via twrp that will give you version 2.7.0.0
(You can use adb to push this file to your phone to flash or alternatively, the easiest method is either a usb otg cable or otg flashdrive then you can just put the files you need on flashdrive and plug into your phone).
Then if you want a stock based rom and don't wont to follow the instructions from the link i gave you the other day you can install this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505682
Just follow the instructions on the page, this ROM is basically completely stock with some added tweaks.
The issues you have been facing with the rom installs failing will most likely just be caused by the outdated version of twrp you are using.
Hope this helps and good luck. ​

Used an older version through odin

This ended up being sorted for me, as it just booted after about a half hour. But how, if you hit this red screen can you reflash? You aren't getting to dowload mode or recovery with that perma-red screen

lol, I spoke too soon again, was reflashing twrp after going back to a stock rom, this happened again for me only its not budging from red screen now. I can't get into download mode as I mentioned above too

hey guys I have the same
the phone dont even switch off
how did you fix it?
edit SOLUTION : I managed to reboot the phone with adb
add reboot
then I flashed the version 3.0.0.0 of TWRP and it worked !

Help!

You have probably flashed a wrong kernel.
The solution is to flash the right kernel for your device.

Thanks,
Nicolas

Lol. I have the very same problem: Flashed The Galaxy Project ROM and hit "update bootloader etc...." and now all I have is this red screen..... - Though the ROM worked for a couple of hours, but when I tried to enter the recovery I stock with this red screen. Cant even go into download mode...
Any help? How did you solved this issue?

I didn't, ****ty Rom just bricked it.
Just reflash the recovery or flash stock. I can't, my pc doesn't recognize my s7 anymore.
He doesn't even bother to mention that bug...

Same here. Only in my case I use this ROOM for weeks

Got Stucked at Bootloader screen

I was rooting my device and was successful l in that. I flashed TWRP and Magisk and after that I decided to install a custom ROM. While going for it I again wiped the - Delvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. And when I tried installing that ROM it doesn't gets install. Moreover I can't boot into System anymore and now I'm stucked at the screen saying "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." Also the screen is showing "ID:N/A"
So please please please help me with this problem ASAP. I can't use my phone now please and I regret for what I've done.

Try booting into fastboot mode. Hold down volume down and power for several seconds. If you can get there, you can flash the stock ROM and hopefully get back to normal. There are other threads that show you how to install. Make sure you use a version that is greater than or equal to what you last had installed.

When you installed a custom ROM your stock ROM was gone. That's how it works. But the reason you're stuck at the screen you're at, I don't know.
Restoring back to stock is the first thing I'd try to see if you can actually use your phone

Ok that would make sense because my SM-T350 is on 7.1.1 (Nougat) and TWRP works fine.

May I ask what ROM you're using? I am looking for a custom ROM for my SM-T350

Same thing is happening with me, SM-T350 on Nougat 7.1.1 and it black screens when trying to boot into TWRP. ADB shows the device is in recovery mode, though.
