Well I did what the developers specifically warned against. I wanted to try a few ROMS and then decide on one to settle with but obviously nothing is ever that simple. I can't remember which version of which software I installed, but after installing and reinstalling a mix of ROMS and TWRP versions I made a mistake somewhere and suddenly I got TWRP asking for a password. I panicked at first but when I clicked 'cancel' and went to the usual TWRP page, I thought all is normal again and continued to attempt installing a new ROM beginning with formatting all the data off the tablet! Lo and behold, after formating I learn that TWRP wont allow me to install any new ROMs (why does it allow me to format but not install?)! So now I'm stuck with a tablet that has no OS and boots straight to TWRP's password page.
How bad is my situation? Is the tablet redeemable?
For what it's worth I tried setting up the ADB thing as per the tutorial but whenever I type in "adb shell" I get something to the effect of "adb is not a recognizable command". I don't know if that even matters but it seems to be mentioned alot whenever a bricked Prime is brought up. :\
Thank you

I did a search and found a similar topic which referred to Odin but I'm not to familiar with that software or its use.
I encrypted my Samsung Galaxy Nexus several months ago and now I want to decrypt the drive and wipe the information. Nothing I have tried has worked so far.
The option to perform a factory reset through the OS has not worked. I make the selection, enter in my passphrase, the phone reboots into the green robot screen (like it was updating) then when it boots back up it asks me to enter in the encryption passphrase again and I do then it takes me to my un-wiped phone.
I have also attempted to reset it with the ClockworkMod Recovery and it will not work either. Giving an "Error mounting data!" message and similar message for the rest
I have my Nexus unlocked and rooted but it is running stock other than those two.
Could someone tell me or point me to a proper step by step process to fix this?
So after trying several things to try and correct the issue I simply used the WUG Nexus Toolkit and re-flashed the stock image and its now its how I want it to be

Here is my full story
I have a huawei y300 with no Os, how did the OS got wiped? I was in twrp and was doing a factory reset where i select advance reset and end up wiping the entire system alone with my files, Os, apps etc... after which when i turn on the phone it wont boot up.
I then realise that i could still access twrp so i search everyone it but could not find away to restore my OS and solve the problem, bare in mine that i rooted the phone.
At that point when i plugged in the phone and search for adb devices my phone was shown after a few research and attends i failed in fixing the problem. I then did something while using the push function to send clockwork recovery to the phone or something like that after which i realise that twrp stop showing on the phone i then realised that i was not seeing my devices on the list of adb. after a few attempts and i kept on trying i saw it came up as offline but now its not showing again.
Hope you all understand the issue now
So like wat i need is a software that can program the OS straight to the phone is such software does exist but in fact should because how the OS came on in the first place, i dont know a thing about phones but i know a little to help myself but i have reached my limit
Please help
I have had the worst luck updating my Nexus 9 to Marshmallow (6.0). I’m pretty certain I “soft bricked” it. It’s stuck in a perpetual booting loop and everything I’ve tried so far doesn’t work.
Here’s what happened:
- I tried flashing 6.0 on a 5.0.1 build. That was the wrong move. I was supposed to update to 5.1 first, before flashing to 6.0. But I have a bad habit of not reading the instructions all the way through, so that happened.
- Somewhere in the process of flashing that, things got corrupt. The Nexus 9 booted up and asked me for my encryption password. But after I typed it in, it said that my data was corrupt. It then erased everything and rebooted.
- That’s when the perpetual reboot loop started.
I’m pretty sure there’s *no* version of Android installed. I tried side loading 5.1 through the ./adb sideload command after the Recovery menu, but no dice. I tried the OTA update from LRX22c to LRX22l, and though that installation was successful (apparently), it’s still stuck in a perpetual reboot.
Any idea of what I can do? My Mac won’t recognize the device unless I’m in the ./adb sideload option, so fast booting/flashing a ROM hasn’t been successful. (I get two error messages when I've tried.)
Is there something I can do, or do I need to send this back to the factory? I’d rather try to figure this out, since it’s clearly my user error that messed things up
FWIW, I have complete access to the bootloader. It's just getting an OS back onto the Nexus 9 that seems to be the problem. I'm left with limited abilities, though, since my Mac only recognizes the device when its in sideloading mode.
Download and install Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit, use the softbrick option first, or you can have it flash Android

Hey guys, this is my first Thread in xdadevelopers
I am pretty new to coding and all this "behind the UI" stuff, but i am eager to learn more, since its really fun.
So i have got a new Phone : the ulefone power 2 with MTK6750T Prozessor. It has quite the battery with 6000mah, but i still wanted to root the device to archieve like one week battery time or so xD
I rooted, installed TWRP recovery and some apps, everything just went fine. I didnt install a custom rom, since i didnt find any for this phone. Well, i wont buy mtk phones anymore, since they dont offer open source code with all its community possibilities
Anyway, today the touchscreen suddenly stopped working. I thought its a common bug, restarted it. Now it wont start the OS anymore, its only booting in TWRP. I dont remember well, but it said something like "phone is not safe, gotta factory reset".
Since i have TWRP, i just did the reset. Without success though. Its still booting into recovery and cant shut down either, whatever i chose in TWRP options.
My next thought was flashing a new ROM with TWRP, which doesnt work due to "zip file is corrupt" error, even though its the stock file from ulefone.com
Since TWRP has a command terminal, it might be possible to use to stop the recovery bootloop when connecting to pc? in this case i might be able to use adb, but atm i cant, and the battery is non removable
I dont care that much about having a phone, i could just buy a new one (xiaomi redmi note 4x it would be), but i would really like to fix this and enlarge my knowledge for situations to come.
Hopefully someone of the professionals here can help. There is a similar Thread already by drkeey, but in my case i can still use TWRP with my mouse, so there might be hope.
