Simply follow this tutorial: http://en.miui.com/thread-344450-1-1.html
Experienced the same with alka twrp flash. I did a wipe in twrp and let the room boot. After that I ran twrp again and everything works as expected.

I screwed up my phone by not reading what was happening with Oneplus X nowadays with TWRP wont work and all.
I had a old firmware 2.1.3-X and I flashed it to get back to stock from 2.2.3 since I was rooted.
Flash went fine and after without knowing I by mistake flashed the STock MM recovery .The recovery was stuck on oneplus logo
After that I am unable to flash TWRP and I tried flashing lollipop recovery i get the options on the recovery but I cant install the downloaded OTA manually from recovery. It just says failed..
The phone is charging dead slowly and getting super heated up when idle itself how do I proceed from here.
My bootloader is unlocked. Since I am unable to flash anything from stock recovery I am not sure what I can do now.
The phone boot to 2.1.3-X but getting super laggy and heated up cant even use it for a min. Please advice.

Hi guys does any one have working method on how to flash twrp recovery on rdmi note 3 sd well im currently on miui 8 6.11.3 beta developer rom.. Some body help me
This is assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already.
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Yes i already unlocked the bootloader nd even flashed twrp once but it asked me for a password to decrypt nd i couldnt flash gapps so i flashed back to dev rom using mi flash tool
I haven't had that issue but try using zcx twrp

You dont need to flash back miui.. just format your internal storage using adb command "fastboot format userdata" thats it. Then flash twrp again using adb. Now boot into twrp &clean flash any custom rom you want. Everything will be ok..
Although you get back to miui. So this video will help you a lot to install twrp. Just follow his fastboot method & use alka recovery instead of official recovery

about the phone:
Xiaomi redmi note 2
bootloader unlocked
cm 12.1 rom (before)
So this morning i had looked up an (under heavy development) android 6.0 rom for the xiaomi redmi note 2 and tried to flash it, when i rebooted it with this new rom after 5 minutes i got an screen saying it was encrypting the phone so i took out the battery real quick. when i got back to twrp i tried to restore to my back up but got an message saying: unable to mount/ 'data' (invalid argument) so please help me i tried everything and i have no money to buy a new one
I'd try flashing an official fastboot rom, I think that it should fix your partitions.
Then, if it works again, just flash TWRP and install whatever you want.

That's it. Android 6.0 has other partitioning than 5.x.x. If you want flash Android MM you need flash specially edited TWRP, which is adapted to MM partitons (You can find this TWRP on xda). Btw. Fastboot is the one way to wake up your RN2

Hi, I had MM in my phone but something ****ed up my recovery so I flashed the MIUI 8 dev fastboot rom through SP Flash Tools, now everything's okay but I can't get TWRP to work, I tried a lot of versions, the 2.8.7, the 3.0.2.0 and etc, but every time I boot to recovery the phone just hangs at the TWRP logo. Do you know how I can fix this? I've tried everything.
Ignore this.
I missed you have MM.
Hi,
I am intending to instal my LG LG (European model) with the custom pie ROM. Currently I am runing official stock 8.0 firmware. Since this is the first time I am flashing my phone I am reading tutorials and guides, obviously the first step is to do a full back of the current ROM for recovery should I need it. I am reading that I should use TWRP to do this backup, but before I can install this I need root the phone. However when I read about rooting the phone I read that all data will be lost!
So given a stock ROM what is the correct and safe way to root and install TWRP. The guides are sending me around in circles!
Thanks.

The best way to root the lg g5 is to use lg up to restore it back to stock 7.0 20a. Then use adb and fastboot to flash twrp. Then magisk for root (optional). The best roms are currently lineage 16.0 and 17.0.
Thanks - but before I flash any images (stock or custom) I want to do a nandroid backup. I am not sure how to install TWRP without root access, and root access requires flashing!
You have to first find which model you have (for example h850) and see if its possible to unlock the bootloader.
This is necessary if you want to install custom roms/recovery.
On the h850 you can find a tutorial on xda called Official LG G5 H850 Bootloader Unlock.
After you unlock the bootloader you need to flash twrp recovery, after that you need to boot into the recovery and flash magisk for root.
Good luck
Thanks, I do have a European model H850. I found the official guide on this forum, but note that it says after the unlock.bin is received:
6. While the phone is still in fastboot enter the following command to unlock the bootloader:
This will unlock your phone AND factory reset your device wiping all data!
I don't want to wipe my data yet because it isn't backed-up. In order to back it up I need TWRP installed and in order to install TWRP I need to unlock the bootloader - so again I hit a dead end.

You would have to use a third party back up app either on your phone or PC.
I did try the Titanium app but it required root access I wasn't aware of any PC tools but will take a look now, thanks.
Ok so I have made some progress.
1. I unlcoked the bootlader with he unlock.bin from the LG Developers site
2. I then installed the latest TWRP
3. I booted into TWRP and installed the SU root zip. During the process I got this:
Failed to mount '/system' (Device or resource busy)
Failed to decrypt data
Unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to perform a Format Data
Updating partition details...
...done
Unable to mount storage
Full SELinux support is present
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
Regardless it seemed to be successful,I followed the option to reboot. Now I am stuck in a boot loop, until after a while it just stays on the LG splash screen.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Did you root with magisk? Try flashing either a rom or boot into download mode and restore your phone.
I didn't try magisk yet, I followed the officla Lg G5 boot unlock thread which says to root with SuperSU.
Do I use magisk instead of or as well as SuperSU?
When I want to flash a rom is it the same process used to install SuperSU - use TWRP to boo into recovery mode -> install -> select zip -> flash?
Thanks.

So you first must find a rom for your variant of the g5 since it's a European version it's most likely an h850 then, boot into twrp wipe system, art chache, chache, data. Installing magisk is the same as super su
Thanks - can I try and flash the intended custom ROM at this stage - the revolution pie (Android 10) or should this be an official ROM first?

Whatever you prefer should work the best way to get back to stock is threw download mode
I managed to flash Linege 17.1 - seems to work well. The SyncDroid app I used won't restore my SMS messages though. Contacts and call logs were restored ok. My backup file is an xml, can I manually restore this?

I don't know what happened, but when I try to flash pixel experience 12 on this using TWRP, it says that "devices on super may not mount
until rebooting recovery", I've tried a lot of fixes but none of them worked, when I flashed orangefox it flashed and worked, but I'm getting a similar mounting error on that as well, please help, I'm desparate
If you want to install a custom rom, use the recommended procedure for that rom. The rom developer gives you a proven procedure.
PE is not intended to be installed from TWRP or OFOX.

yeah, but i cant even flash magisk or anything.
I normally use Magisk and it goes flash from all recoveries. Only the recovery must correspond with the ROM.

Had the same problem. Solution for me was to use MiFlashTool to go back to stock.
Then flashed Twrp again and I was able to flash custom rom.
