How to flash original ROM (with boot) via TWRP? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd need some help:
I have a Mediatek phone with TWRP 3.2.3.
I charged my phone using Qualcomm 3.0 fast charger which destroyed the data circuit of my phone.
So the data connection (with the computer, USB stick etc, USB audio with my car) doesn't work.
I tried to reset my phone back to factory settings. But the mistake I made was that I went to the settings of the phone and made a factory reset. The phone booted to TWRP where I tried to restore the backup I had. Restore process went OK and the phone booted - but back to TWRP. It doesn't seem to boot normally at all and I cannot flash it via USB connection. It boots to TWRP each'n'every time.
Is it gone/bricked for good or are there still some ways to get it fixed. Mainboards are not available anymore so if I cannot fix it then it's totally bricked.
Thanks in advance.

Hard Bricked? please help

i was streamin a movie with vplayer. i was using the mhl adapter and had it going to my hdmi on tv. it was working and suddenly froze. it was completely unresponsive so i took out the battery. i unplugged all the cables and tried to reboot. it keeps flashing the samsung logo screen over and over. it wont boot up. i went to recovery, rebooted, nothing. stock recovery mode says
cant access /system/csc/ATT/system
i was using the stock android that it came with, i believe 2.3.4
i can enter download mode and recovery mode
i wiped data, nothing
i flashed cwm with odin, (CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5.zip) wouldnt mount sd. went and choose fix permissions, able to mount sd, reset, nothing
flashed stock, still stuck
flashed bootloader and parafram, now stock recovery wont show up
still can go download mode, still can recover mode when i reflash cwm
any help? can it be fixed?
Download mode is always a good sign. These steps are going to bring you back to the day you bought it:

does this require the usb jig? can it be flashed without it?
and the stock android recovery is not working, it just displays "deleting encryption meta data" then turns off again
No jig needed if you can still enter download mode.
Take the battery out. Put back in, plug USB cable in while holding volume down.

Phone suddenly turned off and didn't want to turn on

Hey,
SGS II without any reason turned off and didn't want to turn on. I had to remove battery and plug it in again. Then phone booted but only to Samsung Galaxy S II logo.
I reflashed ROM via CWM (is accessible). Cleared dalvik cache and partition cache. Nothing helped.
What more can I do?
I can't reflash phone via Odin because Windows won't detect phone which is in boot logo freeze.
Restore backup or factory reset/wipe ?
During making backup of current ROM I got error that making backup of /data was not possible.
I restored image from older time and it went smoothly. Then suddenly again I got such error after while I plugged cable to USB port.
hope it helps

try a fresh install.. it mean wipe data, cache and system.. download ultimate kernel cleaning.. and flash all new ones at once.. dont reboot if you aren't finished at least flashing ROM and kernel.. (flash modem : optional)
I made restore, didn't plug USB in yet. So far is OK. If not USB, why then restored system would have had failure too?
This could be totally unrelated, but I am just throwing it out.
Everything was working normally, and one day I noticed that USB mass storage was malfunctioning.
When I turn on USB mass storage and connect to PC, it only connect for a minute or so, then internal and external SD get disconnected without any warning.
When this happens, if screen is on I can see the USB droid turn from orange (connected) to green (disconnected),
but the phone completely freezes on that screen unresponsive. If screen is off, it just freezes with a blank screen.
I have to pull the battery to get out.
Factory reset, wiping, restoring to an old nandroid, using different cable, connect to another PC, nothing helped.
Then by accident, I connected the phone without external SD in it and the phone connected just fine indefinitely.
So, I took the SD card, formatted it on PC, put it back in the phone and tried connecting to PC. It works fine.
I have no problem with USB connection now, and I hope it stays that way.

bootlooping, need to get texts off

The phone is bootlooping but it will go to TWRP recovery and that works. I can reinstall the system but there are texts on the phone that I don't want to lose. It looks like I can plug in the data cable or charger without making the phone spontaneously boot up.
Can I get the data off the phone from recovery? I can do a dirty install without wiping data, I suppose, but I would like to avoid that if possible in case it doesn't work and screws things up so I can't get to recovery. If the phone is in recovery and it's connected to the computer with the data cable will the computer be able to access the internal memory card?
The phone is running some version of Pac-Man kit kat, I think. I haven't checked in recovery to find out which version.

Bricked OnePlus X

Hey guys,
So really in need of a little help. My OnePlus X started acting strange when it refused to take charge when it was booted into OS (Lineage). However, I noticed that if the phone was off, it would boot immediately upon connecting a cable. So it seemed as if nothing was wrong with the port or the cable (tried various cables and chargers). A little more digging revealed that the phone charges in Fastboot mode. Anyway, I decided to factory reset it and for some reason it was stuck in a boot loop.
I then tried to restore back to stock using Mega Unbrick Guide which worked in the past. Now my problem is that its stuck in fastboot, wont boot into the OS. I can boot to the recovery and fastboot. In recovery when I choose Install from local, i get no browser to search the SD for zip files, nor does the phone detect for me to use adb sideload.
Any ideas as to why this is so?
Thanks!

Possibly hard bricked my phone after installing custom ROM

I Downloaded LineageOS (Unofficial) from this link => https://sourceforge.net/projects/harukeys-roms/files/laurel/LineageOS18/, Wiped everything with TWRP, ADB pushed the file from my pc and flashed it with TWRP, the OS booted normally, but WIFI didn't work, so I decided to reboot the phone, now the screen is completely black, won't respond to charger or power button, can't boot to recovery/fastboot, is there anything I can do? If it is indeed hard-bricked what will the fix cost be?
Plug your device into your computer and see if it detects it.
Also try putting the device into EDL mode and connect to a pc and see if it is recognised.
If it is recognised you can use mi flash to flash the stock firmware back to the device.
Also what exactly did you wipe in twrp? Did you wipe persist partition and everything?
If yes than you may have to replace the motherboard because without a backup of the persist partition there is no way to return it to its original state which may render sensors and radios completely useless or worse, a hard brick.
A bit more info on what exactly you did would be helpful in diagnosing exactly what is wrong and how you can proceed.
What's strange is you said it booted the first time and then fails to boot afterwards.
