Axon 7 stuck in TWRP, need help getting back to stock - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I recently got a new Axon 7 (A2017U) and wanted to root it just like my old G3. I tried following DrakenFX's instructions (Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204), but I got lost. I ended up with a password being requested at the android startup screen. In a panic, I clicked Format Data when I got back into TWRP, that made it worse and I went into EDL to see if that might help. Eventually I got back into TWRP and that's where I am now, desperately trying to get my new phone working again. All the threads I read only add another layer of confusion. Would someone be willing to walk me through the steps of fixing my phone? I really don't want to RMA/have $400 to go down the drain. I'd own you a big one.

Hi,
so you have access to the TWRP. Thats good. Do you have access to a stock ROM from your manufacturer? In case yes, you could simply flash the stock.
For this, the rom has to be on a SD card or on the internal memory of the phone.
In TWRP go to "Install", than navigate to the file and swipe to install (it comes a zip file).

I'm looking for one. Some threads pointed to an OTA update that ZTE has on their site. However, when I try to install things on TWRP, I get an error about "dev/block/sde14" being read-only. (It sometimes says "sde13" too.)

Dis you go on Advanced
Wipe dalvik-chace
Wipe /cache
Do you have access to fastboot?

Yes and I'm not sure. I can boot to system, recovery, and bootloader.

I am far from being a pro. I once had the problem that I was caught in bootloop and could not install a new rom. But I was able to re-flash TWRP (via Minimal adb and fastboot) and than everything was fine.
Maybe someone else can comment on that. On your own risk...
Just a tip. Never panic and press any button

[Q] Rooted I717, constant reboots, no recovery, flashing stock ROM not working

I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..
see what happens ..
Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

no need to go back to stock .
try reflashing whichever ROM you desire...
its always wise to follow every little STEP given by the DEV .
to wipe dav you go to advance and it should be there..
Sorry, still need assist

I have attempted to Flash ROMs I don't desire just to move forward. They all flash and pass in Odin but on reboot I still have my default screen. Unfortunately, I want to go back to stock. I have done plenty of research and need something more to push on to the next thing. I am looking at phone and there is not an Advanced option in recovery. I have read there are options in CWM but I am looking at what I believe is the stock recovery options.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB
someone else may be able to help you get back to stock ROM..i havent had the chance to ever wanna go back to stock so i wouldnt know for sure.
sorry and good luck .

So, maybe I am a newb. I have followed the instructions to install CWM on my device and it even says it was successful. I am doing it from ODIN. See the file I downloaded here. Says it was successful but holding the volume up and then power button. NO CWM.
I am truly frustrated but I want my phone back. Can someone link me to the stupid people posts so I can get my phone working again?

Have you looked at these posts? Sounds like you may be using the

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.
Certainly I am not this dumb..... am I

Still having issues. Here is the deal.
I have the phone in Download mode
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnk6ekjqp9vddev/2012-06-19 19.40.01.jpg
I load the CWM Recovery in the PDA box. Start the flash, get a pass. All looks good to me.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q4hayf35mm26wr/odin-success.PNG
I immediately attempt to access CWM Recovery by holding the power, vol+ and vol- and still get the default recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d176blydonlvrlu/2012-06-19 20.13.42.jpg
I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash

[Q] Might have bricked my prime. Need help!

I thought I was installing an old rooted stock ROM that I had. Turns out it was an actual stock ROM. Now it won't boot after I tried doing a restore. I can get to the fastboot and TWRP recovery, but not sure what to do from here.

First things first. When you get into the bootloader what number do you see along the top left of the screen? It will start with a 9 or 10.
Then go into TWRP and tell me what the TWRP version number is along the top of the screen.
Then wait to get shouted at by someone who has nothing better to do because you have posted this in the wrong section

It says Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "us_epad-10.4.2.15-20120917" A03. (I'm thinking im screwed if it tried flasing stock bootloader?
TWRP version is 2.2.2.1. I know its an old one. Haven't used the tablet in a while and was trying to get it back to stock type ROM before selling it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You are on JB bootloader.
Grab the rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911024 and place it on your microsd card.
Go into twrp and wipe system, data, cache and dalvik.
Flash the rom linked above and see if that works.

[Q] Need help installing clockwork recover on my Atrix HD MB886

Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.
So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.

Did you do a full wipe, including wiping /system?
If you didn't, it should be under Mounts and Storage > Format /system of something of that sort.

No I forgot to do that dammit, can't get into recovery mode and my computer doesn't recognize my phone now, think I bricked it.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

The battery doesn't come out of my phone as you can't take the back off. I got into fast boot easily them selected recovery and nothing happened, I think my phone is screwed

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.

[Resolved] Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 blocked on mi logo after TWRP install

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me in this huge problem, I do not deny being completely scared...
I'm not an expert in modding, actually I'm new in this discipline, I'm a holder of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Qualcom 3/32.
Today I wanted to follow a video on youtube that explained how to improve my device, making these changes:
ROM Pixel Experience: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...her-development/rom-pixel-experience-t3723382
TWRP for Redmi Note 4 (mido): https://dl.twrp.me/mido/
All versions of the Google Camera: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Direct link to the version for Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (requires modified ROM, does not work on MIUI): https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/scrubber_GCam_5.1.018_24.apk
Kernel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...-development/kernel-stormguard-11-08-t3702031
So I convinced myself to take the appropriate online guides to get the same benefits described in that video.
- I managed to unlock the bootloader after three days from the request to Xiaomi.
- I followed the guide to install TWRP, the first attempt was successful, but entering the recovery I did not find the TWRP but the recovery of Xiaomi.
I realized that I should avoid starting Android first, as the system is as if it were self-protected by TWRP, replacing it with the original version.
- I made a second attempt, this time I managed to get into the TWRP screen first, but here I had to choose the "overwrite" option instead of "go into read-only mode".
Now if I restart the phone to get back to the system I am stuck with the Xiaomi logo and can no longer access the operating system.
- I have access to fastboot.
- I have access to TWRP.
- I do not have access to Android.
- I have unlocked bootloader.
- my phone is not rooted!
Panicked, I found on the internet guides that suggested to format "DALVIK" and "Data" and "Cache" via TWRP, so I did, but this did not solve the problem, I can not yet enter the operating system.
How can I recover access to my device?
What could have happened precisely?
Thank you so much ... I hope you do not have to throw the phone ...

If your ROM is miui, then you need to install lazyflasher. Search the forum for this.

Thank you, that thread will explain how to "recover" the system by using "twrp + Lazyflasher" right?
I will follow this instructions, even if I already installed TWRP, is it right?
Download recovery*.img and Lazyflasher
Copy lazyflasher In your internal Phone memory
Run "fastboot flash recovery recovery-mido.img in command line
Boot into recovery and flash Lazy flasher (Important for miui, else you can't boot into system)
Reboot and enjoy it

You already have TWRP. Just boot into TWRP and install lazyflasher via TWRP. You should be able to reboot into your miui after that. As has been explained, miui will not boot after installing TWRP if you don't install lazyflasher.

Thank you so much, then tell me if I understood correctly, I do not need to panic, because the "brick" is not a real "brick" but it's just a known side effect that happens when someone decides to install TWRP on their device Xiaomi, am I right?
Since my goal is to install the Google Experience ROM on my Xiaomi, in your opinion, can I proceed with the flash of the external rom? I mean, this kind of "soft brick" is part of the normal practice for installing a custom rom? How come no guide I read talked about it? "lazyflasher" is useful to solve a damage that I created, or just to return to MIUI?
The following instructions and the current situation of this "soft brick" may have damaged something in the phone, so I have to stop moving forward with the intention to flash the Google Experience?
format "DALVIK" and "Data" and "Cache" via "advanced wipe" from TWRP

Installing TWRP damages nothing. Wiping cache and dalvik damages nothing. If that is all that you did, then nothing is damaged. If you can boot into TWRP, then almost anything can be fixed. And, yes, you should be able to install Pixel Experience or any other ROM (just make sure you follow all the instructions).
To be honest, if you are asking these questions, then you really should stay with your miui until you have secured deeper understanding of things. There are many pitfalls with regard to flashing custom ROMs, even for experienced people. Just install lazyflasher, boot into miui, and lurk round these forums for about a month, before trying anything else.

Thank you very much, I managed to enter the MIUI 9, although I noticed that everything has been restored as factory, I wonder, which of the instructions I listed before applied the restoration, precisely?
In addition, about updates to the system coming from Xiaomi, nothing has really been changed, apart from the restore of the phone?

Lazyflasher allowed you to boot into what was there before TWRP was installed (which still remained there, but was inaccessible under lazyflasher was installed). Wiping the data partition will reset the phone to factory.

Need some help with rooting.

So I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and I have been wanting to root for a while now. I've tried to a few times but it's always put me in the bootloop and/or won't boot at all. So I just manually factory reset my phone. (im on my 7th factory reset over the past few days)
The problem is that whenever I go into the TWRP recovery mode, my internal storage and everything else is at 0mb and I get the error that I cannot mount the storage. I've tried changing the file types to ext4 and ext2, but to no avail. I have also read that if you enable pin on start-up then it would work, but that didn't work either. I'm really stuck here and I'm starting to get a little annoyed, as you would.
I'd appreciate any help I can get. I'll provide you guys with any other relevant information. I just want to root my android.
(the first time I tried to root I used a S7 twrp file and it corrupt my system and that's when I first had to factory reset)
EDIT: I am trying to root using Magisk, just in case you guys ask. G935F.
Now whenever I use TWRP (latest one for hero2lte), it just goes into the bootloop. I'm really stuck here.
