Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my phone. Android 7.1.2 (Lineage OS 14.1) is installed in the GS4, and it worked perfectly. The recovery is TWRP. Yesterday, the Lineage OS developers released a system update, so I downloaded it from the phone settings and then tapped on the icon to install it. Then it booted into recovery and I installed the file downloaded (the auto-installation does not work for me). So, when it finished installing the new version, I rebooted the phone and... it was stuck at the Galaxy S4 boot logo. Hence, I rebooted it to see if ti worked but nothing, so I decided to go again into recovery ad perform a full wipe and a clean installation. Rebooted the phone but it continues to stuck at the logo. I also tried to install a previous version of android, which I am sure it works (because it was the first I installed), but the situation doesn't change. I also tried to get into downloading mode, and it goes, so I used a tool called FonePaw Data Recovery to try to fix the problem but it doesn't change. I also installed a different version of TWRP via Odin, but the system won't boot.
So, in conclusion, the phone is able to boot properly into recovery mode and downloading mode but not able to boot system. What can I do now?

While I did find a similar posts, they were for different devices. I also tryed to search o different sites for similar problems to no avial.
What Happened: After backing up system data and app data then removing Foxhound ROM with factory reset, and installing UltimaROM i came to find that the modem did not install correctly result in no connection to my cell network. I booted into TWRP recovery to try and do a re-install of the ROM only to find that TWRP was restarting itself every 3 seconds or so. I attempted to restart the device which i found to result in a TWRP bootloop that i cannot get out of, it constantly is booting into recovery mode and i cannot get it restart the OS.
What I've tried: Since i can get into download mode i decided to attempt to re-install TWRP using Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit but since i do not have USB debugging on i cannot do that. I'm mainly looking for a fix before i go and claim it on the warranty saying update went bad or something. If people need more information I will try to provide it as best i can.
Summery if i confused people is that TWRP is in a bootloop, i am unable to get to the OS, but i still have download mode available.
I fixed it but not how I would have liked to. I ended up losing all data due to flashing stock ROM using ODIN. I would still much appreciate a alternative method that does not involve loss of data though just for future reference, that is if anyone knows a alternative method.

could've tried reflashing TWRP or any other recovery through odin
I have an LG Optimus Q (LGL55c) with twrp loop. I was trying to go back to stock rom, instead I deleted all the system files in twrp when it was working...Then I rebooted back into recovery and get the loop. Does this mean I completely bricked my phone? I tried using adb, adb shell doesn't work. It does find the device. Even tried the LG update with no sucess Any ideas or suggestions?
I just read the forum title, I thought this was for the Optimus Q not the Samsung S3. Sorry mods
Temasek unofficial cm12 5.02
I was running this rom when my power button shorted and I got it replaced but then I tried to do a complete wipe and clean flash but since then it has been twrp bootlooping, tried to flash the latest recovery through Odin but still doesn't work also tried stock firmware flash but says binary not available.
This is my secondary device and I've not been in touch with Odin for a while. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Download latest firnware from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin, as described on sammobile: does Odin finish with '1 succeeded'?
I'm in a very similar situation, but with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7105). It's rooted, and I am, or was using TWRP 2.7.0.2. ROM is CyanogenMod 12, 5.0.2 Lollipop.
I did a factory reset from INSIDE Android, and chose to wipe internal memory. Phone did the reset and wipe, rebooted into TWRP instead of Android, and now I have TWRP boot loop.
I posted more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60247503&postcount=3671
I have the Problem toooo!
What must i do Now!
with my S3 is the same!!!
For posterity:
With an old (2014?) version of TWRP and a custom ROM, I tried reverting to factory settings. That caused the phone to reboot TWRP, and the screen would flash every couple of seconds. I flashed a stock recovery image I found on Google, and when it restarted again, the wipe was completed successfully. My intention was to wipe all user data anyways so I can't say if this method might save it.
Hi! I've been messing with my phone for a while and have it rooted and Bumpd with TWRP and I recently decided to switch back from the unofficial CM12 to the system backup I made before flashing CM. After I restored it, it wanted to install a sprint update and said it would reboot to install it, stupidly I pressed "okay" and didn't realize that it probably wouldn't install correctly with TWRP and not the original recovery. Now every time I restart the phone it boots into recovery (I assume because it wants to install the update). I have tried to boot it into download to reinstall the stock firmware but it still boots into recovery. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Have a great day! from my LG G3
i tried to install a new rom with the twrp recovery mod and before starting the process i unistalled twrp, the app from which i got the recovery mod. now when i started the process i factory reset the phone. afterwards when i tried to install the custom rom it said "No file_context" which meant it couldn't it because i unistalled the app. i rebooted my phone but it only boots on the custom recovery mode and at the moment i'm trying the download mode and praying for it to work. does anyone know any other ways to make it work?
Hello, I need a little advice on getting my phone working again. I got a new Ramos MOS1 Max today and rooted it via Kingo PC software. I checked to make sure it was rooted using RootChecker and it said it was rooted. I was reading up on what to do next and some sites said the next thing you must do is to make a backup of your phone via TWRP. I installed the software and then attempted to use the "reboot and create backup" functionality. The phone rebooted and I was in the Android system recovery menu. I didn't see anything like what TWRP was supposed to show, so I just rebooted via the standard recovery screen method. Now when I try to start the phone, it gives me a logo, then ARMPHONE and it hangs on that.
I've tried wiping my cache partition via recovery menu and rebooting, but no dice. Next they suggested to do a wipe data/factory reset, and since I just received the phone today, I decided to try that. After doing that via system recovery menu it still wouldn't boot past the ARMPHONE screen. I don't have a lot of experience with rooting and modifying Android devices, is there something I can do to fix this? I've installed the android SDK tools for my version of android (5.1 I believe), but I don't know how to proceed. Is there a stock image I can use for this phone, or can I just use a vanilla android image?
Thanks in advance.

You can find the firmware here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=783029
Hello!
Yesterday, after succesfuly installing the modified VBmeta image and flashing TWRP, i ended up wiping my OS accidentaly.
Trying to take advantage of the situtation, i searched some custom roms to install, and found the Lineage OS 18.0 Thread on the Galaxy a10 custom roms. I wiped the required caches, and flashed the OS, Magisk and Gapps (NikGapps) in this order.
However, my phone won't boot anymore. It shows the first samsung screen (warning me that i'm not using a official firmware), then the screen warning that the bootloader is unlocked, and then the phone just goes black screen indefinitely. I can force restart with power + volume down, but can't access recovery or download mode by any means, as it just goes black when i try. PC won't recognize the phone as well, giving me no way to install scatter firmware of any sorts.
Is there anyway to save my phone?
Hello! If you still have issues, I have the same phone. The problem was the custom rom I was trying to install (LineageOS). Crdroid booted up just fine.
