I had this issue, too once. Can't recap what exactly fixed it, but I flashed TWRP again (think that didn't fix it) and then dirty flashed a ROM (in this case the same, which was already on the phone). If I remember correctly it worked after the later only. Might have also had to flash superSU. No data should be deleted if you just dirty flash (but do make a backup, should be no problem, since you are stuck in recovery anyway [emoji12]).
What ROM did you try to flash? You're rooted?

I also dont really care if I lose photos or anything I already got all of them saved on my pc before I even started rooting the damn thing. I do need to ask tho how do you dirty flash and Do i just flash twrp normally since im already in it or ??? As I said im rlly new to this
TWRP can be flashed just from inside TWRP itself. Dirty flash means not do a factory reset before flashing.
Sorry that I can't remember what fixed it, but you can get out of it, 'cause I did, too...
Just wipe cache and dalvik/art cache then install separately TWRP, ROM, GAPPS, SUPERSU again and reboot after each install step to see of you reboot to TWRP again. That's what I did.
I use latest AICP ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69699770) but that shouldn't matter.
Hope it helps.

Wait you were trying to flash recovery for a pixel device on your g5?
What TWRP build did you flash when you said you downgraded? 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-0 ? What is the date on the TWRP build?

What he asked [emoji32]
It's happened to me too! Like three times lol. Just use UpperCut / LG UP to flash the latest nougat rom. That will fix the issue. You will need to re-root after that. There are instructions in this forum that tell how to do all of that. Good luck
Well and don't flash a ROM which is not for your device...

What he suggested will delete the lockscreen password/passcode etc so you can boot the phone without any prompts. You do this within TWRP.

oh in that case, should I have to factory reset everytime I flash a rom through my TWRP? I use ZCX TWRP, so Lazy flasher is not required after rom flashing right?
you just need it once . to decrypt your storage

In the information about the ZCX TWRP I found below:
ZCX TWRP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/redm...persu-t3462448
- Based on official TWRP 3.0.2-0
- Patches boot.img automatically (Removes dm-verity flag)
- Disables forced encryption
Should I have to tweak anything in TWRP settings to remove this dm-verify flag everytime?

I tried it. Earlier i did not have any issue even if i install custom rom on my Redmi note 3. But today i thought of trying Pure Nexus *Substratum* rom. And on the first boot it asked me to enter password. though i have never kept password for my mobile, i tried all the passwords that i remember, which didnt solve my issue. then saw ur reply and tried it, and still it didnt work for me. Any other way?:crying:

Are you coming from MIUI? If so then MIUI encrypts the data partition, hence the new ROM asking for a password.
Before you install the ROM, you must "format data" on wipe in TWRP, this is different from wipe data.
Note that this will delete all your data obviously.

Are you sure that you used "format data"?
Wipe data doesn't remove the encryption.

Perfect. Worked bro. Thanks a lot for the help. I was wiping cache,and internal storage. Now only came to know this. :highfive:
I have an unusual problem, in that my Moto Z always boots to TWRP. The only way to boot the ROM is first to boot bootloader and reboot bootloader a few times and then select Start. Any idea why and if there is something I can do?

Try clearing cache

Yes I cleared both dalvik and cache and did not solve the problem.
I'd maybe flash twrp again (optional if twrp seems fine) and then dirty flash your rom again. (without any wipes first.)
If that fails, maybe only wipe system, and flash rom again.
Backing up with twrp before doing anything.
Assuming it's a custom rom. If it's stock, then you need to use fastboot obviously. (or mfastboot if that's what we use, I haven't done anything to my Z yet.) :good:
I finally solved the problem and solved it by reflashing stock ROM using fastboot. Then I could flash twrp again and then the custom ROM.
i installed twrp and lazyflash, then rebooted . everything was fine. Then i went back to recovery to install supersu.zip, I installed and then device rebooted... and then stuck at MI logo.. plz help, i am able to go back to twrp.

You can actually flash a custom rom, and then revert back to miui, this would take time, but is much more easy, and has less chances to permanently brick your device.

how to do it, i have already downloaded rr rom and cm 14.1
cutecrocodile said:

Click to expand...

ok, so first of all what you need is the cm firmware and the rom file, and also gapps if u need.
this is the firmware file - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634766008
Follow these steps -
1. Copy the firmware and rom file (and gapps if you have) to a place other than your phones internl storage like on an sd card or i you have a pc, then theres no problem, just leave the files on pc.
2. boot to twrp, here go to wipe and then select format data, here type yes and enter - this will wipe your internal storage. after that go back and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik.
3. now if you have a memory card inserted, with the rom files then skip this step, but if you do not,then connect your phone to pc using the data cable and copy the files to internal storage.
4. now firstly install the firmware,then the rom, and then any addons like gapps.
5. now reboot. you will boot to rr.
6. after booting, if you wish to install miui again, head to http://en.miui.com/download.html
and from there download the build you like, (choose redmi note 4x and there the global build)
7. now again boot to twrp, and format data, and wipe data, cache, system and dalvik. now copy the miui file, super su and the lazyflasher file.
8. install miui and lazyflasher, and reboot (it will say 'no os installed' but its fine, just reboot)
9. now after miui has booted, reboot to recovery, and install super su and lazyflasher, this should do it
thank you so much, i did it
super su should be installed first or lazy flash?

You have to clear dalvik/art cache after flashing supersu.zip and restart. It will boot loop one time and on second time the phone will successfully boot. Now flash lazyflasher and follow the steps again.
hi i tryed to convert my redmi note 4x to global when flashing with mi flash tool i did it without clean and after that firmware finish installing but got stuck in bootloop now i flashed twrp and tryed to flash custom rom but again bootloop when i check my storage it shows 9gb now when its actual is 32gb i think i disturbed partitions any solution available?
Are you able to boot into TWRP?? If not flash TWRP first using fastboot.
Once you have access to TWRP boot into it and perform a full wipe (System + Data + Cache + Dalvik + Internal Storage). Perform a format too after wipe to be on the safer side. Now copy a custom ROM or MIUI ROM to your Internal Storage or SD card through a computer. Once copied install your ROM.
If you flashed custom ROM flash Gapps after flashing ROM. Reboot.
If you flashed MIUI, flash lazyflasher after that(or phone will be stuck at MI logo). Reboot.
You can find download links for lazyflasher here on XDA or you can google it too.

@ArK96 is right but the only thing i suggest is to, flash miui and lazyflasher first so as to properly set up the initial firmware, and partitioning. After miui boots properly, you can do anything you want. :highfive:

Go here and download the Global Stable worldwide release version firmware.
Boot into twrp wipe and format everything. Also after that reflash TWRP again using fastboot.
Once reflashed boot into TWRP and again perform a full wipe and format, then install the downloaded firmware zip. After that reboot TWRP and try flashing MIUI.

Yes. Red wolf is more MIUI friendly, it is made with OTA survival in mind. But your issue is that the ROM is not getting flashed. You can try what I said above about TWRP reflash, if it doesn't work you can go ahead and try redwolf. REDWOLF is nothing but modded TWRP, base code is still TWRP.
