I really screwed up and need help now...
I bought a cheap Xiaomi Mi A3 a few days ago for a little project, where I needed a rooted phone (I didn't want to use my main phone for this).
So I tried root the phone with magisk and this tutorial.
Mod edit: Unofficial magisk link removed. Please only post official links.
Unlocking bootloader worked perfectely fine, so I proceeded with method 1 (using TWRP). I then got a fastboot error which I think has something to do with me using usb3 and not usb2. Since I dont have any Usb2 connectors, I tried to do it with method 2. Somewhere along the way I did a factory reset. Well I did eventually load into TWRP and was able to load the Zip files into TWRP through a MicroSD card, since MTP and "adb push" didn't worked (I didn't got a error message, the files just wouldn't show up on the phone). I then flashed Magisk v22.0 since the others were all "wrong Zip file format". If I try to boot into system now, I always get the "Encryption unsuccessful" error message. I tried to facotry reset, didn't work.
Edit: I can get into TWRP, but reboot to system will always result in "Encryption unsuccessful"
Do you have any ideas on how to fix this. Since there are no data on this phone I can also just delete everything and reinstall a completely fresh android and start again from the beginning (but since Factory Reset isn't helping I don't know how to do this).
Thanks in Advance!

Hello friends,
I've a problem with CWM 5.8.2.0. Until now I replaced with ease different ROM and went all right. But after the last one, system doen't reboot. Everything is installed properly, the system restarts properly with the factory image (eeepad asus Tegra etc..), but after few seconds it returns to the previous commands (reboot system now, install zip fron sdcard, wipe data and so on). I tried to restore the "old" ROM, all the step are complete, but I can't go further. The installation stop always after a few seconds. Thank you for your help.
Now it's ok. It was a problem of softbrick. In this forum I've found the solution. Thank you

Did you use the Part 1 of the "How to Unbrick" thread? I have some questions then if you did.
I created this thread because I have looked all over and have been unable to find someone with the exact same issue(s).
I said "sort of" in the title because twrp is working. Ok, so before everyone asks if I have nvflash, the answer is no. I did not have the right version of firmware, and did not try to install it originally. Since I was able to install roms, I figured I was fine...oops.
Twrp is not properly installing roms. More on that later. I am getting to the asus splash screen that says my device is unlocked, but it is stuck there.
My last working rom was the deodexed stock JB rom from craig gomez. I installed it with goo and when I installed that, I lost custom recovery and root, so I decided to go back to a more custom rom so Titanium backup would work. When I did that, I tried also tried again to make nvflash work. I got through the first step, it said it was successful, except I never got the little message in the upper left corner that I was supposed to get. I did not think it was a big deal because my prime would still boot like normal.
Then I installed twrp 2.3.1.0 and I have tried flashing previous restore images. I have tried installing the roms on my sdcard. I cannot get past the asus splash screen.
If I try installing a rom with the force md5 check enabled, it does detect an md5 and then quits.
If I try intalling a rom without the force md5 check, i get an error that says E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try installing a backup everything seems to work okay, but then I get the same error E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try to install roms through fastboot, I get the following errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
When I try using adb, I do not see any devices.
I tried putting CWM on the prime to see if I could install from that instead, but it would not load after install.
I tried putting an older version of twrp on the prime, to see if that was the issue because I used to have an older version...I could not get that to load either...so I went back to this version.
Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome guys. I am stuck.
I even went to install the naked drivers again, and when I try to flash a different recovery, I get the <waiting for device> text that never goes away.
i'm sort of on the same boat. my prime just keeps booting into twrp recovery no matter what i tried. i'm still hoping to find a solution to this problem.

For me, I can let it try to boot normally, but I get stuck at the splash screen. This device is unlocked.
If I hold down the volume down button, I can go to fastboot, or RCK for recovery...but it does not work properly.

Same Here.. It all happened when i restored my files using titanium backup and when i rebooted im stuck at boot scrren
EDIT: Guys I did a prime fullwipe and flashed stock jb and now prime is restored to its original state..
""I also got some errors like md5 file could not be found and could not find the /staging""..but after the reboot it works perfect
EDIT 1: Now after the prime fullwipe and flashing stock jb i flashed twrp recovery and now it works perfect without a single error even the above mentioned errors were gone

That doesn't really help us. If possible, can you edit/delete your message so that the guys that might help do actually help? Don't want them to think this is done.
Can you clarify what the Prime fullwipe is and how you got there?
I do not know if it will help me.
I can't even do the wipe command from fastboot.
Just says <waiting for device>
I have tried the wipe command form the boot screen (the one with fastboot and RCK as options), that did not work properly either.

here is what i did. get into twrp recovery. flashed full prime wipe -> right after that flash the stock jb US version directly dled from Asus -> reboot then you will be stuck at the splash screen (that's a good news). Hold down power + volume down until your prime turns off and restart (keep holding those two keys) until the 3 icons appear then flash w/e rom you want in recovery. It's alive!
In twrp I do not see anything that says Full Prime Wipe. I see something that says wipe. Are those the same? I tried doing a wipe from this screen, but it did not work for me as expected.

no full wipe is a stand alone zip file you have to google and find dl it. put it in your prime then flash it
Thanks. That is what I needed to know.
I will see if I can make this work when I get back from work.

I am pretty sure I am F***ed.
I tried the prime full wipe. It worked the first time, I think. Then went to install a rom.
I had to do both through external SD in twrp because my adb is not working. Also, fastboot only works to install a recovery. The only version of any recovery I can make work is twrp 2.3.1.0
If I try an older version or CWM, it freezes where I try to go into recovery.
Unable to mount data error.
Unable to mount system error.
Same as before.
I tried using unbricker software I found, but since adb does not work properly, the software does not work properly.
I am going to see if I can work my charm and get them to take back my tablet at best buy for an infinity. I have read about other people pulling it off.
I think as we get closer to xmas my odds improve...UNLESS SOMEONE HAS ANOTHER IDEA??? I would love to try something else.
Eyeballer suggested a chat room channel thing, but most of the people are in europe and I would need to do it in the morning...I do not have time for that, but I may try it.

Download the zip:
http://goo.gl/hiFHB
Goto to Twrp recovery and install the zip..Since it supports microsd u can transfer the zip to microsd.
Goto TWRP -> INSTALL -> CHOOSE EXTERNAL SD -> INSTALL THE ZIP
It will completely wipe the internal storage and then download the official STOCK JB FROM ASUS SITE and follow the same steps to install. Now install the latest twrp recovery using fastboot

When I was doing the fullwipe the same errors happened to me.. But dont mind..I got errors like
1. No md5 file found
2. Mount error
3. Cannot find /staging
Just follow the above the steps ull get it right
did you even follow my step by step guide? you can move the stock rom from external SD to your internal SD in advance -> file manager.

Yeah, I should have said I tried that first. I also tried the stock rom from asus. When that didn't work, I tried the stock rom deodexed I found in goo.
There are a bunch of permission errors going on inside my prime. When I go into the mount area, it will not let me mount the data to move it. Or, when I try to copy it over I get a failed message.
Okay. I wiped it again, from twrp.
Then it let me move the file from the ext-sdcard to the sdcard.
I used the prime full wipe.
Then I tried to install the stock rom by transferring it in twrp file manager.
I got the file onto the sdcard, but when i tried to install, it said Failed.
That was it.
I even tried installing the ICS version I got from ASUS. Same thing.
Now, I am going to try to access via unbricker...don't know if it will work, but I am out of ideas.

us-tf201-jro03c-10.4.2.15-stock-deodexed.zip
That is the last rom I successfully used.
I used all sorts of different wipes. I was in twrp and noticed my pc installing the transformer adb driver. So I hopped into adb to see if it would see my device with that driver. (it did, but it wasn't before from the fastboot or adb commands with naked driver).
I tried sideloading the above rom from twrp. It worked.
Thought others might want to know.
I do not know if I can install other roms or not. I am a little scared to try just yet.

You will have the jelly bean bootloader now so as long as you stick to it you should be fine. The only other thing I would suggest is check you version of twrp, you should be running the jelly bean version of it also. And if I am not mistaken, you need to be on ics to use nvflash (although I haven't checked the op recently so I could be wrong) so definitely stay away from that unless you downgrade.
Hey guys,
I just tried to root my Acer Iconia One 10 B3-A20 (not A3-A20!!!) with Kingsroot and it kinda worked. I could grant root access to apps and modify some stuff, but unfortunately after debloating something went wrong and my tablet is in a bootloop. I performed a hardreset so I could start from the beginning. After completing the android set up I was thrown instantly to another bootloop. After some researches I tried to do the android set up but without the last step and I installed another launcher via playstore and email. Afterwards I could start and do whatever I want to do. Unluckily I'm again in an bootloop after I did a restart. I can't enter the android set up procedure anymore and can't install any apps from the playstore.
Right now I can do following:
- I can access the download mode and try to do something with adb, BUT I'm unauthorized and can't tick the USB debugging think as you can imagine
- Try to flash something via recovery, but untill now I could not flash anything
Does anybody have a suggestion? Stock recovery is still accessible, but somehow I can't flash anything.
Hope anybody can help me out.
Thanks in advance. Best Regards,
GerasVille
EDIT: It's solved and the thread can be closed.
Thanks to Shreps I could flash the stock firmware via stock recovery. Here is his post.

Hello, need help whith
I also had problems with kingroot, and decided to reset tablet "factory default".
The tablet would not start, loop on the logo. I saw this post, and download the "OS" official Acer ICONIA ACER ONE 10 B3-A20 and install it from a sd card and stock recovery.
Everything went well, the tablet starts asking me choose language, wifi network and login with google account I had before the reset. And here is the problem: I was not which account google it had before the reset, the tablet is 2nd hand and do not know how to solve this.
there any way you can skip this protection?
It is possible to flash a rom with spflash clean and able to put a new google account?
I'm bored to seek and find nothing.
Thanks in advance

Please can someone help me sort out my S6 edge. I was trying to root my phone to change my encryption pin to a 20 digit passcode. I used odin to put twrp-3.1.1-0-zerolte.img onto my phone and now it is stuck on TWRP and won't boot normally. Could someone please tell me how I can remove TWRP or even just make my phone boot as usual. I never made a backup or copies of my photos and I really don't want to lose my data. THANKYOU! for anyone who can help me out I really appreciate it.
####WILL PAY ANYONE WHO CAN GUIDE ME THROUGH FIXING####
additional info:
UK(europe) Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
SM-G925F
zerolte
Android 7.0
Kernel version 3.10.61-10531122
The way I was trying to root the phone was for (I believe) unencrypted devices, therefore I never actually rooted the phone just put TWRP onto it and it didn't work the way it was supposed to so I stopped.
I've never rooted a phone before and therefore don't want to rush into fixing it incase I cause irreparable damage.
I read on these forums that to do what I was doing I would need to use adb sideload because it's encrypted. I have got android sdk, adb but haven't done anything yet. I'm hoping for someone who definitely knows how to fix it before I go ahead and make a mess of it :\
I had Samsung Knox installed on my phone, I've just found out that that has probably caused the problem? Is it at all possible I can fix this and not lose my data?
TWRP says: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer
I have tried wiping the cache and nothing changes.

OK, calm down. You haven't lost anything or likely to if you just slow down a bit.
OK first things first, what caused the actual boot loop?
Describe the exact steps. It wouldn't have been TWRP itself. Ignore any errors you are seeing regarding /data they are irrelevant at the moment.
Did you install SuperSU and which version? Did TWRP ask to install its own SuperSU version?

where his phone rebooted into the system mine just stayed on TWRP. I tried rebooting into system and I just get the samsung logo over and over. all I have done from that point is try wiping the cache.

And no TWRP didn't install SuperSU as I was planning to install Nougat_Root_SuperSU_No_kernel_included myself.

Then your issue is you haven't installed Supersu. Once you've installed SuperSu V2.79 SR3 then your device should boot.
Your issue is likely dmverity. SuperSU will fix that by patching the boot.img.

I guess I'm screwed at this point?
I also saw somewhere that it says Knox has been tripped, dno if that matters....
Thanks

All you really need to do is flash the stock recovery and boot image as your system partition should be unmodified.
You can flash the whole firmware and it won't affect your data.
If it's a 4 file firmware you should only need to flash the BL and AP parts with ODIN.

One good reason to never run encryption on the device.
If you want to attempt data recovery, download the app disk digger pro. It has a high success rate of recovery. Just ensure you save the recovered files to SD card.
Just to note though this app needs root to work properly. You can use magisk to gain root rather than supersu.

Just incase... did you use Google photos? If you do and sync was on you will have your photos saved to cloud.

I believe it was the google photo gallery but it hasn't synced anything
wouldn't have been so bad if I could have at least saved the photo's. and I doubt any recovery program will get anything because of it been encrypted but I can give it a go for nothing
Phone: LG Aristo MS210 (Metro PCS)
Bootloader: TWRP 3.0.3.0
So let me explain. I was just figuring out how to root the LG Aristo since I had never done it with a custom ROM. Yes, true story. Anyway, I was happy I got it working perfectly until I rebooted my phone. When I rebooted it, SuperSU was gone. I tried going to the play store and redownloading it, but I got an error code -504, and the thing is, I couldn't download any apps. ANY. I decided to look the error code up and I can't find anything on it. I tried multiple times doing multiple different things. From factory resetting, reflashing SuperSU, to factory resetting and then flashing SuperSU, wiping dalvik-cache along with everything except for system. It didn't work and I thought I could get it working.. Well... this next part I really messed up on. I decided to wipe everything. I selected all options and slid the cursor and it failed. The wipe failed. It said "E: /sdcard1 unable to partition" or something like that. I noticed that when I was wiping earlier the internal storage was also called that, and the funny thing is I have no microSD card in my phone. So. :/
Now when I boot I'm stuck on the LG splash screen and nothing else happens. I tried recovery mode (without ADB) with the power button + vol down key as I read here: (I'd post link but I'm a new member) that's how you get into recovery/factory reset. I'd use ADB to get into recovery, but since I just wiped the system, I don't have USB debugging enabled. I tried anyway and I gotta say this is my worst nightmare as I'm too young to get a job, (15 yrs. old) so I can't get a phone. :/ Oh, and if this can be useful: I know it connects to my PC over USB because I hear the sound it makes when a new device is connected. Is there any way I can use that to unbrick it?
EDIT 9/10/2017 9:31 PM (Eastern Time): I managed to get into twrp. I'm currently looking online for how to flash android 7.0 nougat (OS it originally had)

Hi,
Well the only way to fix this is that u need to be able to boot into recovery.
If u tried booting into recovery by holding the power and vol+/- and u end up booting to the boot logo, then recovery is also wiped.
In this case, u will need to check if u have access to fastboot. If so then obtain the twrp recovery for ur device and flash it then tried booting into recovery using the appropriate keys.
When I get time, I will research ur device for any recovery tool and stuff.
