Okay guys I need some help here. VS985 was running TWRP 3.0.0-0, with latest cm nightly. The phone began running very slow and hot. In the attempt to update to another newer nightly, the install in TWRP just causes recovery to restart itself. This happens no matter what I attempt to flash. Making a backup also never progresses past the start. At this point I could still boot into the rom, but now nothing was working right... couldn't open most apps or download anything. I flashed twrp again in twrp as an .img just to see if that fixed it and obviously it did not, I also tried to flash CM Recovery but it failed. I took everything I needed off of the phone and then wiped the phone- system/data/cache but still could not flash a rom or anything so currently I have no OS, I have access to Firmware Update mode (download mode i think?) and my messed up TWRP. What should I try next? My guess is to use LG Flash Tool and start from scratch? I'm having trouble gathering all of those resources... thanks for the help friends!

I assume you let it cool down by pulling the battery and leaving it like that for a couple hours?
You might be facing a return to stock by either .kdz or .tot method and begin again. I do this every now and then just to keep things fresh. This is where I would start. I've never had this problem so I'm not sure if this will be successful or not. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. Would you be able to guide me to a current kdz/tot flashing guide? i have the tot file from way long ago still, but have changed pc's so my system and flash tool program are not set up, i believe i need some sort of .dll?

So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:
If you have a suggestion please let me know, i hate using an old Iphone

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.

Thanks thats what i did, I just basically had to use KIES to use the emergency recovery, then root my phone again. My question is what version of TWRP causes this? cause i used the newest version i could find off GOO. My other concerne is, will it accept or be safe to use a custom ROM? Well i gues ill find out :laugh: THANKS AGAIN!
Everyone with the sgh-i717 is having problems with the latest TWRP and the most stable version is 2.5.0.0. Go with that one or you'll be starting all over again I imagine. And don't just stop at the download link in the OP's, read the thread and find out what's going on. The problems with TWRP have been going on for a while and the development threads have a lot of comments about the latest build causing problems. Good luck! :good:
Hi All - Long time listener, first time caller.
I have a Verizon S4 and have been running stock root for a while now. I'm looking to install Carbon ROM. For some reason, when I try to flash it, I get the "Unauthorized Software" message that pops up after it completes and reboots. My only option is to boot back into TWRP and restore from backup. Everything that I've read says that it's because my bootloader isn't unlocked, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Is there something else I need to do? I'm on Ubuntu, so I can't really run the Windows things (unless Odin, for example, works through VIrtualbox? I haven't tried because there are general virtual USB issues that have soft bricked other devices I've had.)
I'm definitely on MDK (I froze the Samsung updater) and my initial effort to root was done on a friend's computer with Odin using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798.
Running through the forum, I've tried:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578569 (it just talks about rooting which I already have)
I'm sure there's a step somewhere that I've missed, but I can't see the forest through the trees. Anything obvious that I didn't do?
The only other things I can think of that could get me there:
1. Update to the latest firmware and then just give in and use safestrap (not ideal)
2. Could I re-flash to the pre-release kernel and then go directly to CarbonROM? Will I need to reflash to the release-version of MDK after?
Open to suggestions.

The ROM may not have Loki support...if you are using the older twrp version it may not auto lokify the ROM...try updating your recovery and give it another go

I would recommend trying out Philz ( cwm ) recovery possibly. There have been random issues like yours reported and usually updating the recovery or just trying a different ROM all together gets better results.
You shouldn't need to go back to stock mdk for anything since you're already rooted and have a custom recovery.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did update my recovery, but now that I think of it, I may not have tried to re-flash since upgrading. My preference is to not use CWM, but I will if I have to, I guess.
In either case, I'll try this all out when I get home from work and post back. Thanks for the suggestions.

I would try their suggestions. For future reference though, you can use heimdall instead of Odin on Linux. I love it I think its better than odin

Ok, so I updated TWRP to the latest and tried again. Got the same message as before about unauthorized software and in the upper left, it said something about "Fail: Kernal"
From there, I had a hard time getting back into recovery. It would either say it was booting into recovery and then shut off or it would freeze. I eventually got back in and am restoring now.
Thanks for the information on Heimdall - I wasn't aware of it. The reason I wanted to go with Carbon is that it has a built-in application to control/override application permissions. Does something like that exist for LiquidRom? Or is it compatible with PDroid or something similar? (I didn't see a mention of it in their features, but might have missed it)
One more thought: I am using the Carbon nightlies for KK. Maybe there's a problem with the source file (I've redownloaded 4 times)? Or maybe I'm just destined to be on stock forever. :crying:
Edit: I just tried putting Philz recovery on and now I can't get into recovery as that's now giving the same unauthorized software message.
Edit2: I was able to get TWRP on eventually by going into Odin mode and hitting "Cancel." Each normal reboot would then give the same unauthorized message, so I just went back to TWRP and it's booting normally again. Ah, yay to Verizon and their locked phones.
Ok, I've tried a few more times tonight with no luck, so I'll give it a break for now and look into it more tomorrow or over the weekend.

That's odd that flashing Philz didn't work for you. Its a pain I know but probably if you had wiped the phone with stock mdk then tried again it woukd have worked I bet. I had to do that with this phone when i got it. It came with twrp, but was acting real funny not always getting into recovery or just hanging up on reboot. But you have a working twrp so that's good too.
I don't believe liquid has the built in app permissions you're talking about but maybe I missed it. I don't really mess with permissions. Liquid has everything else though and then some!
I know some Roms were having problems with unified builds. I know liquid does not at this point. Maybe it'd be worth trying just so you're not on stock lol you may want to look into the Loki doki zip that you flash after flashing the ROM. I've seen some people on here using that when they were getting the same error you were. Just an idea.
Good luck man!

So im fairly new to unlocking, flashing, etc. I have a HTC One M8 for AT&T that im trying to unlock to use with different carriers. After reading a bit I realized that I had to unlock my bootloader, root, install s-off before I could achieve my goal. I used htc-one.wonderhowto. com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-root-your-htc-one-m8-0154444 to root and unlock my bootloader. Followed the guide to a T and all was fine. Then I was going for S-Off and here's where I encounters my problems. I used htc-one.wonderhowto. com/how-to/get-s-off-your-htc-one-m8-install-custom-firmware-mods-0154461 guide and this is where I believe I fudged up bad. Step one says to download InsertCoin from insertcoin-roms. org/category/devices/onem8 this link. I downloaded the OTA 4.0.6 to 4.0.7 and saved it onto my phone I think maybe I should of downloaded the link for the full ROM and that's why im having this problem but im not sure. I followed each step with the exception to Step 3 which is also where I fudged up. I didnt back up because I didnt think it was needed since the phone was just wiped clean of everything. At step 5 my life changed forever..lol.. but when I flashed it , it said failure. I tried to follow the steps again but it kept failing to flash. So I went back and tried to re-flash SuperSU which was successful but when I go to reboot it from TWRP it says I have no OS installed and it gets stuck on the HTC boot screen unless I put my phone into fastboot mode. Which says ***unnlocked*** and ***tampered*** at the top and im stuck. Please someone help me and tell me what to do.
I recently deleted my OS by my stupidity. I fixed the issue by side loading a stock Rom via adb/twrp sideload. Saved me. There are tutorials on how to do this. Just Google search. You could also put a stock Rom on an external sd and flash that way. Don't have a link to the stock Rom I used, but it's in the resources thread in general section. Hope this works for ya

The file you downloaded is if you were already on InsertCoin 4.0.6, and updating to version 4.0.7, which was not the case for you. You should have downloaded the full ROM, and that is likely why the flash failed.
If you ever have any doubt about what you are flashing, this should be a red flag to STOP and either read and research some more, or come on here and ask.

That is why you make a TWRP backup before wiping anything.

Did you specifically wipe system in TWRP? If so, that is where the OS is stored, so of course wiping it means you have no OS.
I do not advocate wiping system when flashing ROM, especially if you are new to this. Reason being, it already gets wiped when you flash a ROM anyway (so its redundant). Also, if the ROM fails to flash, you will still have a working OS if you did not wipe system manually. As stated on the wipe screen in TWRP, the default wipe (data, cache, and Dalvik) is all that is usually needed. It says this for good reason.
All you need to do is download a ROM to your computer, and either adb push to the phone, sideload flash, or copy it to a removeable MicroSD card using a USB card reader. Then flash in TWRP.
Sorry if this has been asked, I have searched for 2days and cant find an answer. I was playing around with my sons old LG Optimus G E970. I followed all steps to root and flash clockwork mod recovery. I thought all was well when I found a rom I wanted to try. It wouldnt flash si i did a system wipe now im stuck at LG logo and I am able to get to download mode and recovery but theres nothing to install. I am a Samsung user so LG is new to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I have searched and searched im not lazy...lol just cant find anything that actually works.[emoji106]

If you are using an old recovery (as may be linked in rooting threads, cause this phones been around awhile) with a newer ROM, that may be causing your problem.
I would recommend the newest twrp recovery - check the last couple pages of brothaedhung's Candy5 thread in the dev section for a download link. You should be able to Flash that in your current cwm recovery, then reboot to recovery, to get to the new twrp.

Ok, so I've rooted and put custom roms on numerous phones. I've been trying to put a custom recovery, twrp or cwm, whatever, on my wife's phone, but have got a wall. I know for sure, 100% that I am rooted. I tired to install twrp and cwm via their respective apps, ends up in either bootloop trying to boot into recovery (and FYI, the screen shows that a custom recovery is installed, just doesn't load into recovery and restarts). And tried both via Odin, but got the same result. Have never ran into this problem before with any of my phone's, all of the galaxy's and Galaxy Note's since the S2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks homies!
Just to add, yes I made sure double checked, triple checked that I was installing the correct recovery for the phone model. Also, she has done all the ota updates that sprint has pushed as of last week (2/9/15).

OK, from your post it looks like you have done this before. To be sure lets go through the motions one more time.
Your device is updated to 4.4.4 NK4 the latest KitKat version. It's rooted you have supersu icon and run a root checker. First download again ( in case you got a bad download ) a copy of Philz CWM version 6.48.4 here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ use "phil'z_touch_6.48.6-hlte.tar.md5" . I like to use odin version v1.85 it's little older but very stable, here is a link https://mega.co.nz/#!oA5xzTAL!LXoVWB...ZlOMSWdRGVX6Uo now flash the .tar file with odin. Make sure you let device boot up on it's own back to the OS, do not pull the cable and boot the device yourself. Then try and boot into recovery.
If it bootloops again, I would backup all your data to the PC desktop, and then do a factory reset get back to bone stock ( that means when your in download mode it says Samsung Official status not custom ) so many times I have seen folks with an unrooted device where the bootloader still says custom and you end up with a dirty flash or worse. It may take a couple factory resets to get back to stock, it doesn't always take the first time. When I flash a custom rom and then decide to go back to stock, I flash the rom two or three times to make sure I'm bone stock.
If the factory reset doesn't work you may have to flash a new stock NK4 OS. Then root again and install the recovery. Here is my thread with all the info you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 , Enjoy !!!
Thanks for taking the time to give me a detailed response. Sounds like I'm gonna have to wait till Wednesday or Thursday when im off work and have some time to do this, but yeah, I was thinking maybe just a factory reset, but I'll use your links and try it one more time first. I'll let ya know. Thanks again
Do you have another link to the older Odin (1.85).the link says the file isn't there... Thanks again
Never got to test it out, but she didn't really want a custom rom anyway, just the WiFi hotspot, and I finally found a method that works, big shout out to idone for his awesome app. If anyone else is looking for WiFi hotspot without root that sees this, check out his tread in the apps and themes, for this phone. Worked like a charm. Thanks again jimzweb1. Much appreciate the reply!

I know for sure, 100% that I am rooted. I tired to install twrp and cwm via their respective apps, ends up in either bootloop trying to boot into recovery (and FYI, the screen shows that a custom recovery is installed, just doesn't load into recovery and restarts). And tried both via Odin, but got the same result. Have never ran into this problem before with any of my phone's, all of the galaxy's and Galaxy Note's since the S2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks homies!
Just to add, yes I made sure double checked, triple checked that I was installing the correct recovery for the phone model. Also, she has done all the ota updates that sprint has pushed as of last week (2/9/15).
