Hey everyone, my 5X was stuck in a bootloop after I did the L-21 B140 update so I decided to fix it with fastboot (my bootloader is unlocked and I had TWRP installed but it may have been overwritten by the update) and I flashed the extracted boot.img, system.img and userdata.img (I shouldn't have flashed this one now that I think) from this thread.
Now my issue is that when I check into storage settings the Internal Storage info states that it has 16GB but only ~2GB is available and when I check by plugging the phone to my computer it also has ~2GB available. (Screenshot of what I'm talking about)
I forgot how much was available when I got the phone for the first time since my sister is using it (I've got another phone in the meantime), so it may not be an issue after all, but it's rather strange to me.
Did I do something wrong and if so, how could I fix it ?
Thanks for helping me

L-21 B140 update stock ,It must be installed with a recovery stock installed

Hi,
Today i received a notification on my L22 to update to Marshmallow (310).
But when it reboots into recovery (stock), it says system update failed.
Note:
I have rooted my phone and installed custom rom before. But i used to get back to stock (both rom and recovery) with a TWRP restore. This has worked with all the previous updates of Lollipop (e.g. 130 to 150), but its not working with Marshmallow.
Can someone please help!!.
Can someone please help. I hope this is a beta version. Actually I had opted for the beta previously.
there are no restoration files zips for MM yet, alternatively, you can flash TWRP back via adb and restore your back up. else, follow the steps in thread below....good luck!

Thank you @nandakalyan @Arobase40 for the information.
I can check with them. But when i tried to login to their community, for some reason, my login credentials weren't recognized.
As an update, I tried the following
I downloaded the lollipop 150 firmware and flashed the BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM and CUST image files. But I received REMOTE: COMMAND NOT ALLOWED error while flashing CUST. I even tried installing the USB/ADB drivers again. Still no luck.
Then i tried the update. Still the same error.
Again i followed step 1, then relocked the bootloader (successfully). But still got the same error. (Because i read somewhere that it could be due to modified firmware)
Looks like some issue with the package. So i might have to get back to them.
I will post the update once i get the update from them. Thank you very much guys.

The CUST image file can't be flashed !
But I saw someone was able to rebuild the /Cust folder and its content but I'm too lazy to do the search...
It's in the Honor 5x thread.

That is correct, cust.img can't be flashed through ADB, I have had this issue too.
@mani0608
The only best way is to flash stock recovery, create a dload folder in the root of the sd-card, place the update.app (original firmware file) in it, boot into download mode (power + vol up + vol down) and let the whole factory image be flashed.

So, I've been trying to flash CyanogenMod 12.1, since I'm still stuck on EMUI 3.1, because I can't flash OTA updates (I've tried everything, dload method, and yes I have unrooted and used the stock recovery)
Every time I try to flash a ROM via TWRP it turns off for a second and then boots back to TWRP starting screen. Also, when I boot my phone the boot animation's Honor H is red for some reason.
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure you have the right boot.img and recovery.img?
Usually that symptoms are due to messed partitions.
Did you flash current img files or did you got them from a different rom version?

Well, actually I once bricked my phone and had to restore through a TWRP backup, that only had the System and Boot partitions and it was the B130 version when I had B140, but it worked. So, do I need to completely flash everything or can I just pick up some files from somewhere?

No, you need to have all the files from the same version.
Flash boot, recovery, cust and system.

You can use B130 as it is also Lollipop. But all the img from the same rom. You can update to B350 manually after, but first you need a stable rom working.
Let us know man if you fixed your phone. So if not, we can give firther recommendations.

hey all!
So this is a first for me... I've been rooting and playing with android for a very long time (going back to the g1 days) and this is the first time I've ever seen this.
So I was on an old version of CM and decided it was time to update finally. I had unrooted a long time ago, but was still running cm perfectly fine. I went to install a new version of recovery (so I could update) and now when I try to boot into recovery I just get the oneplus logo. Here's the strange part, the phone isn't soft bricked... I can still boot into android no problem.
Anyone else every seen this problem? Do I need to start over (unlock bootloader, root, recovery, rom)?
Anyone else ever seen this happen on Oneplus One or any other phone for that matter?
Thanks in advance!
Same Problem Here
I am having the same exact issue with my OPX: I wanted to update my old CyanogenMod and for that I needed to update my TWRP. After I flashed it successfully when trying to boot into Recovery it stucks on the 1+ Logo forever.
If I boot into OS it works (the same old CM since I haven't been able to upgrade), Fastboot as well, it's Recovery that doesn't work.
I found some post for the OP3 that state:
WHY AM I STUCK ON THE TWRP SPLASH SCREEN FOR 8 HOURS?
Be patient, wait another 8 hours.
Just kidding, try this while stuck on the loading screen:
adb shell wipe_misc; adb shell reboot recovery
Some devices might somehow get a flag set in misc that tells the bootloader to ignore the android boot image command line.
This results in the kernel not receiving the hardware name (qcom), which then confuses recovery and causes it to wait forever. FOREVER.

I tried it and I got the following error:

I guess you were right! Here's what I did:
- Tried to reflash TWRP using adb. It did flashed it but couldn't boot it and throws error "dtb not found".
- I found this post that first suggested to use the Blue Spark version of the TWRP. I tried adb-ing it and got the same error.
- In a later comment the following video was suggested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTdKmceC5xU.
- I the downloaded the stock recovery and the stock ROM from this page: https://devs-lab.com/download-oneplus-official-stock-rom.html. Be sure to find the OnePlus X section.
- Using adb I flashed the stock recovery, did a full wipe, rebooted and copied the stock ROM to my SD card.
- Reboot to Recovery, flash from local, selected the Stock ROM zip and let it do its thing.
- Again, from Fastboot I flashed the latest TWRP. I didn't get any errors now!
- Downloaded the Tesla ROM and flashed it using TWRP.
Everything is working fine now!

Hey!
I have a problem with my Honor 9 (STF-L09C432): It's not booting properly. Bootloader and FRP are unlocked.
First of all: I have TWRP (from here) and the boot.img and system.img came from here. I unpacked them with the Huawei Update Extractor. I flashed those (via fastboot) again after I installed Xposed, because that gave me a bootloop. Too bad it couldn't fix this.
After booting the phone the message, that my phone cannot be trusted, appears, then the Honor Logo, then the message again and then the eRecovery. Inside the eRecovery I can only download the latest version, which is too bad, because I cannot connect to my WiFi as he says the Password of the AP is wrong (which is not). Edit: Tried it with an unprotected Access Point, still failed (Could not retrieve Package Info or something like that).
I don't know where I went wrong and why it won't boot anymore, so you are my last hope!
Edit: I also tried the update menu (Volume Up and Down while Powering on) with the B150 update in the DLOAD folder. But it just goes to 5 % and shows "Software install failed!".
Edit2: I would also be fine by hard formatting the complete system and reflashing a stock ROM. But first I'd need to know how to format the system and second I need a stock ROM.
Edit3: When I tried to reflash Magisk (I read that it could fix some errors like this), I got another error: "Failed to mount '/system' (Device or resource busy)"

Look here. Everything is explained in this thread. I recommend flashing B120 (it is linked in the thread) and updating via Firmware Finder and Firmware Finder Proxy.

Hello XDA!
I am writing this thread to ask for help rooting my Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.
I attempted to use apps such as: Framaroot, Kingroot, etc.. but so far none of them have worked and I have not been able to find a working guide on the internet of how to root my phone.
I also tried installing an unofficial version of TWRP for my phone but everytime I tried to boot into the recovery it would say "No Command" and then boot into the original recovery.
Is anyone able to help me root my phone? Can it even be done?
Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!

Try this at your own risk
Make a backup before trying
I got root access with this method
Download stock Rom from sammobile extract and there should be 5 MD5 files extract the AP file with 7z and copied boot.img on to sdcard
Installed MagicalMmanager-7 used it to patch the boot.img to a tar file
Copied the boot image to my pc desktop then flashed the boot with odin
When I booted it back up magisk manager kept crashing so I uninstalled it and installed magiskmanager-5.23 rebooted it opened magisk and followed the prompts to update it

Hello there.
I have tried to patch my boot.img but when I put into a .tar and flash it, it doesn't flash, it's just stuck on file analysis despite being able to flash other files. Would you be able to send me a copy of your boot.img, thanks.

Unfortunately I have not found a solution. Please notify me if you find one.
here is a copy of my boot.img after flashing this you will get a verification problem and you will have to reset your phone if it bootloops into recovery or starts to update and says no command take battery out put it back in and boot it again or boot in to odin mode and push down and boot it eventually it will boot in to recovery then factory reset it. first boot may take 5-10 minutes
my software version is J250GDXU2ARD3_J250GXSA2ARD3_XSA

Hey, sorry for the late response. Everything is working fine! I now have superuser abilities but everytime I try to flash my recovery with TWRP it just loads the stock recovery. I even tried removing certain files from the root folder to avoid the stock recovery being flashed but it hasn't worked.
Any idea? Ps. You are a life saver my man.

glad i could help and i don't think there is an official twrp for this device here is one i ported a couple things still don't work mtp and sideload but it's not really usable until someone ports a rom due to the data encryption which you have to format to be able to flash anything

My internal storage showed I only have 8gb instead of 16gb. Is there a fix for this?
P.S. Wiping data fixes it
ok
You can extract it from the AP file from stock firmware using 7z
hey
hey everyone im just wondering but is there a kernel for this device yet or any rom ("J250G")
