Kinda broke my phone, need to make it "default" again - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i was going to install sultans cm13 that i had on my sdcard, but being a ****ing retard i didnt remember i just had formatted it so when i wiped my phone and was going to install the ROM i had nothing to install in both the internal storage and the SDCARD, somehow by connecting my phone to my pc i was able to drag and drop the temasek cm13 on my internal storage and flash it, after being able to deal with that problem i decided to download the sultans cm13 to my sdcard again and install it, but it seems that somehow in the whole process twpr broke because rn if i have my sdcard on my phone, when i try to use twpr it just ends up freezing at some point (when im wiping my stuff it gets stuck on clearing cache, or when i try to install something it freezes when im browsing trougth the files), so i decided to use the backup i had stored on my PC to bring it all to a starting point but the backup isnt detected by twpr ( idk if this was to do with the fact the twpr is broken or just that because ive moved the backup trougth dragging and dropping it on my pc and somehow it broke it)
So i was looking to make my phone as default as possible and then do the whole custom recoverie and all of that again, either that or flashing another recovery and see if it doesnt break, if anyone could tell me how to make it default again i would really aprecciate it
Btw, to install a new recoverie i must do it trougth the adb on my pc rigth? Sorry for my half assed english, hope i didnt sound like a retard (have a sligth tendecie to do so ;P)
Thanks!

Flash bluspark twrp via fastboot mode ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18348 )
then try flashing the rom again

well, just flash the recovery again by fastboot, then boot into recovery and it should work while flashing.

Stuck on boot animation (cyanogenmod)

I was using my phone and all had been working fine for ages. It was in my pocket for a while and when i took it out to use it I saw that it was on the boot animation of CM11. My phone was already on when I last used it so I had assumed it had crashed. I took the battery out and turned the phone on again but it got stuck on the CM boot animation. The last time I turned on my phone before that was when I flashed a supersu zip file to make my root work as I was having some problems. After flashing the supersu zip and told my CWM recovery to restart the system, it prompted me to "fix root" or something like that, and I clicked yes and it booted normally. That was the last time it booted normally before being stuck as it is now. First thing I did after it got stuck was go into recovery and reflash my current rom ( a CM11 snapshot) I then got faced with a status 7 error and so couldnt flash the rom. So then I flashed multiple other CM11 roms, none of which worked, so I flashed a CM10.2 stable rom which worked. I then got faced with the fix root before reboot thing and so I clicked yes. Still had the stuck booting thingy. I tried many things, flashing kernals roms gapps etc and nothing made a difference. I wiped cache, dalvik cache and no difference. I even wiped the system and tried to flash roms but only the 10.2 one would work, still got a status 7 with the CM11 ones. When I wiped my data however and flashed CM 10.2, it booted. I still couldn't flash the CM11 roms though even after a factory reset. So I have the reason to believe something in the data is wrong, not cache system or anything like that. What could it be? I don't want to have to lose all my data in order to be able to use my phone again, even then, something is still wrong as my phone won't flash CM11 roms anymore. So my questions are;
What things could have caused this?
Can this be a problem from flashing the supersu zip (a root issue)
Is it possible to somehow view or copy the internal data on a computer (since I cant get into the operating system), and this would allow me to get all my pictures contacts music etc anything so I can use my phone by wiping data?
Thanks, sorry this is quite long and probably hard to understand whats going on, but help is appriciated thanks
Don't fix root if you wish to use SuperSU instead builded-in cm superuser. Also try to flash via Odin latest recovery. TWRP should be fine. You can mount partitions from recovery level to download data to your computer. Of course if it still exists. If not, if they are corrupted you need to flash stock ROM and repeat whole cm11 adventure again. If Odin successfully flash the stock then it's a chance your partition layout and user data are untouched.

Accidentally formated sdcard currently in TWRP with no rom.

I am trying to install an AOSP rom and stuffed it up. Here's what I did so far. I normally format the internal sdcard when I flash a new daily driver but forgot I haven't put in an external sdcard.
I am currently now in TWRP with no OS. I want to turn the phone off and put in an exernal sdcard to flash a rom. I am just afraid if I turn it off now I won't be able to get back into recovery.
Just wanted to check if this is possible, otherwise I'll leave it on and attempt a sideload and flash a rom that way (still reading up on this if anyone is familiar would appreciate any advice.)
With Windroid
i) Flashed TWRP
ii) Installed SU
With TWRP
formatted dlavik cache etc etc and, very unfortunately, sdcard as well.
Where I am at with sideload
Trying to follow a tutorial (can't link)
Currently I am at the part where I am installing the sdk bundle to get the adb executable.
change to usb storage mode in twrp, and plug to your pc, copy rom to phone, unmount usb storage mode, flash the rom

Sweet much easier than I thought, what a time to be alive...
ROM currently installing, hope all is good.
Thanks again!
Edit: Also, is it weird that when I press reboot system in TWRP (after the ROM installed) nothing happens? It just stays there. This also happened when I installed SU, I had to take my battery out to reset it and SU was there when it booted back on.
I previously used CWM so a bit new to TWRP.

yeah that bug, sometime twrp will freeze while select reboot via twrp menu, happened to me too

Soft brick - stuck at boot logo; need suggestions

Hey all,
I've got a N7105 (Galaxy Note II LTE) running CM12.1 and TWRP which I was planning to change shortly as it's old and the USB port has issues (charges but doesn't pass data; luckily it has a microsd slot). As it happens, the other day I left it discharge fully and turning it back on left it stuck at Samsung logo (not boot animation, the splash screen before it) forever.
I am: not a noob, I've rooted and flashed plenty of devices before.
I tried: removing battery for a while, charging fully, removing microsd and sim, clearing Cache and Dalvik. Nothing works.
I can: get into ODIN mode (but it's useless as USB data is not working); get into TWRP recovery; explore the Data partition in TWRP
I cannot: mount the System partition in TWRP, not even manually. It just does not let me select it, and gives an error whenever it needs to access it (e.g. if I try to backup it is says Error: unable to mount System)
I want: if possible to solve the issue without formatting Data. I had a TB backup but kinda old, so I got a Nandroid of Data and Boot out from TWRP and I suppose I could then recover stuff extracting from Nandroid through TB, but I've never done it and would rather be able to get a fresh TB backup and move on from there.
A few questions I have: any idea on why I am not able to mount System in TWRP? Could it help to reflash Boot or System, and if so how do I go to do that considering what I have is the whole CM rom package? (I remember being able to fastboot flash single partitions on Nexus devices but that's because the stock rom comes packaged in separate images).
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The note 2 has this issue that makes it unable to be recognized by PC, so this isn't your phone problem, the only way to solve it is replacing the usb socket in your phone, anyway i can recommend dirty flashing your rom first, just flash the rom in recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache only then reboot.
If that didn't work, I'm afraid you might have to...... clear data ?

Thanks for the input, I was thinking something along those lines but I wasn't totally sure, I always avoided dirty flashing as I heard of people having issues. Happily, it worked! Weirdest think I saw in a while, it gave me a bunch of errors with System partition (unable to mount, unmount, find), then it gave a "proceeding to patch system partition unconditionally", then it completed. The whole thing took less than 20secs so I do not think it even actually flashed the ROM. Now I am just getting some Play Services error, likely need to reinstall gapps, but phone boots just fine!

Encryption Unsuccessful

Ok so I messed it up and I need some help on this ASAP, Please.
So I was running the Latest MIUIPro 8.3.8 on my Redmi Note 4 (mido). Then for some stupidreasons, I decided to switch to the oldest ROM my phone came with, MIUI 8.1.10.0. (I have a habit of switching between ROMs every other day). So I put the zip file on my storage and went to flash it. Though I had flashed that same firmware few more times in the past and nothing as such had happened but this time I think I ran out of luck. After it flashed, it seems it replaced my recovery which was latest TWRP and rebooted abruptly (After the flash was over). On the first attempt, it was stuck on MI logo, then I manually rebooted it. This time it shows me "Encryption Unsuccessful". For some reason, it was encrypting the phone and no, I had no encryption on my phone. Just a simple pattern lock.
I do not want to lose my data, so I didnt pressed the 'Erase' button. Since I was now on the stock recovery, I flashed TWRP again. I thought I could extract my data from recovery but TWRP is also asking for encryption password. (Which I didnt had 'cause I never set it). I skipped it and went into the recovery but now TWRP could not mount any partitions. It shows all the partition as 0 MB in size. Even my Internal Storage (/data) partition. (Which I'm trying to save and dont wanna lose at any cost.)
However, after little research I found a default password for TWRP as "default_password" (Without quotes). After I enter it, it shows as storage mounted to "/dev/block/dm-0" But still I cannot find my files in the Internal storage. Even MTP shows no files. I can't mount /dev/block/dm-0 to /data as it says resource busy.
Can someone please help me?? I dont want to lose my data, is there any way to preserve it and decrypt it? Any help will save my life and the million dollar data on my phone.
Can't help yourself
see i am new here and i dont have much of the knowledge to solve your problem but i have face this 0mb internal storage but truth is we can do nothin you have to hit up the nearest service centre and tell them truth that how you ****ed this **** up in first place and tell them to get you back to your stock rom and they will eventually get your phone back runnin but the simple truth is that you now no where gonna get your data back :good:
Change your recovery to orangefox and then flash e stock android rom.now backup your all data then erase device and flash miui pro

Can't transfer roms through TWRP

Hi
A couple of months ago i decided to change my battery because it was draining for nothing, before that i tried to downgrade to miui 9 and 10, and it didn't change anything, so i thought that the battery was the problem.
But even after changing the battery, i still had this drain issue, so i thought " Miui 11 and kernel?" , so i downgraded again, flashed the optimusdrunk kernel and nothing !
So this morning i decided to tried another rom, the pixel experience, i didn't wanted to do that in the first place because i wanted to keep features such as native call recorder or screen recorder. But i've rather loose thoses features if that can help with my battery issues.
I follow the steps of this tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3967593
And after i wiped dalvik, cache, system, data in TWRP, flashed the rom then factory reset, the rom was succesfully installed, i booted the phone, google logo appeared quite fast, then gave me this " Enable Encryption, please wait a while blablabla" , so i wait, at least 15min , so i figured something was wrong right?
So i rebooted the phone after flashing the twrp recovery again (it always dissapeared when i flash a rom i don't know why..), boot into TWRP and i wanted to see if i did something wrong, but i realized that my sd card didn't show up, and all of my roms was not there anymore , and TWRP says that there is no space available (0mb) (because of the factory reset), so i plug my phone into my computer, but i can't transfer anything to it!!
Now i'm stuck with a phone with no system, and no ability to transfer a simple zip file to flash another rom/firmware
Is there any other way to transfer files or flash a rom with adb command ?
Does that have to do with the encyption thing ?
Cheers
