If TWRP crashes, then there is a problem with partitions or NAND in general. Make a log in TWRP and transfer to the PC via adb connection and see in the log what is happening there.

Problem with nand restore

I had to restore a backup because my G1 was stuck on the G1 screen. I've done restore before and it all worked fine. This time, I got an error...
1. First, I am running CM5.0.8 with 1.0.7 recovery.
2. Went into recovery and tried nand restore and got the following error telling me to running recovery via console using 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore'
3. Went into console and ran it and got the following error:
error: unable to mount /data, aborting
I've tried to use a copy of my backup files that I had on my computer by moving it to the sd card and still get the same errors.
I'm a complete noob and seem to have messed things up trying to learn more!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It sounds like you might be having a problem with the SD card, take it out and see if the phone boots up. SD cards die all the time and give you various symptoms. If that doesn't work, put 5.0.8 on the card and re-flash it. Sometimes my nandroid restore gives me a error if I have too many backups saved, I just have to mount SD card go to nandroid folder -> (device id) folder -> and there will be a folder for each back-up you have made, get rid of all but the last 2 and run it again. This always works for me.
Sounds more like something happened to the userdata partition.. otherwise the error would indicate /sdcard or a md5sum error. (Not sure what I've seen such things but they where entirely my fault.)
From fastboot screen try running 'fastboot erase system -w' from your computer, booting recovery and trying again.
Thank you for the replies.
I think I messed something up due to user error. I was playing with turning swap on and off via a script I had installed (a great script by a member steveo I think). I turned it on correctly by using swapon30 from the terminal but I didn't turn it off correctly (used swapoff instead of swap-off I think). When the blue led wouldnt turn off, I tried rebooting and got stuck on the G1 screen. (I really have no clue if that's where I messed up but that was what I was doing when it got stuck on reboot).
Anyway, I did a wipe/factory reset then it started up fine. I then went back into recovery and restored my last backup from last night which went fine as well. Only kind of weird thing I noticed was that I had to reinstall Google Maps from the market and now it's showing as installed in "system" whereas before it was showing as "internal".
When I did a factory reset and then ran a recovery, perhaps I needed to reflash the google apps that is part of the original CM5 install?
Appreciate the replies guys!

Encryption Failed... Tried formatting, wiping, installing new ROM but no use

I have a I9505 and it was working fine (samsung ROM), when I decided to 'encrypt' my device! It was fully charged and connected to a charger.
After starting, it stayed connected for 5-6 hours, but nothing was seemingly happening.. After 6 hours I switched it off. Then back on again.
The device after starting (just the system) didnt let me do anything else, and told me that since encryption failed, I need to format the device. So I restarted, formatted. Still same msg
Wiped the device completely. Still same issue. Tried changing file system from ext4 to ext2.. still same problem! I installed a couple of roms, they seemingly installed ok, but after starting, the same msg!
Please help me!
My bootloader is TWRP by teammate I think
Did you attempt to flash the stock ROM via Odin?
find a place that can do a JTAG
I had this issue last week.
1. Flash Stock rom with Odin
2. Boot into stock recovery (Must be stock)
3. Choose factory reset
Fixed.
SOLVED
Thank you guys! Flashing with ODIN worked fine! Not sure why I didnt think of that earlier!!

ZC553KL twrp failure - help!

Hello! Long time lurker on here but first time posting. I follow this guide to unlock bootloader and install twrp on the zc553kl. https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/zenfone-3-max-zc553kl-bootloader-unlock-t3691837
It kind of worked, and it did flash twrp. The only problem is that the twrp although launching, didnt seem to have permissions to access storage, probably due to a data encryption problem. all the storages had 0mb sizes and i couldn't do anything.
So naturally i googled my problem and tried a few methods.
Nothing seemed to work, and i ended up doing an advance wipe. That also failed and it said it didnt have access or permission to do it (something along those lines). Next day i decide to try again and now my internal storage seemed to show.
So i ended up formatting it, and while the files seem to be still there, i changed .ext4 to .ext2 and back again, and then it stopped recognizing the stock rom i still had installed. Please note that before all of this, although twrp didnt work properly, the phone still worked fine and booted into android. My problem is now the stock rom is gone, twrp says no OS installed, and i have tried my best to reinstall the stock rom, but that hasn't worked. Any ideas or help would be welcome thanks guys

YU YUREKA AO5510 random bootloop

Hey,
I have been using the ColtOS rom based on Oreo 8.1.0 for quite sometime now. I had it rooted with Magisk too. I have the latest version of TWRP installed (version 3.3.0). I had no problem until now where it just randomly tried to reboot after I ended a call. It did reboot fine once, but it was when i ended a second call that it got stuck in a bootloop.
I have tried everything, clearing the cache/Dalvik , wipe data and system and flashed three different Oreo ROMs, uninstalling Magisk. However, I can only go as far as the set-up screen after the new ROM boots, after which it goes back to rebooting itself endlessly.
I seem to have exhausted all my options, any kind of help to restore my phone will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I have found out that I can flash new ROM and even set up the phone by logging into Google, only when I connect my phone to my laptop. It even installs all the previous apps and data and thats it. It reboots to the lockscreen and when I try to unlock it, it reboots again. And this is all only when I keep the phone connected to my laptop, otherwise,it keeps looping into the bootscreen logo.
