When I tryed to flash MeanICS on my evo all appeared to go well until I rebooted. After rebooting I only got a black screen. I can still boot into bootloader which gives me hope. I tryed reflashing Mean and a couple of other ROMs but the problem persists. I was hoping someone may have had a simular problem and had a fix or workaround that I could try.
Thx
Check my guide I listed this exact issue in troubleshooting, if you have any questions after feel free to ask
Thank you for your help. I now understand the problem (bootloop, caused probably by the kernel) but even a full wipe using twrp I can't get any ROMs to load, and I was not thinking and didn't make a back up.
Download a ROM and verify the check sum then unzip and place the boot.img in your adb tools (or SDK depending on what you use) boot to boot loader and select fastboot (from PC terminal, sorry) type fastboot flash boot boot.img and then in recovery try to flash the ROM zip. Be sure to wipe dalvik, cache, factory reset and system first to avoid issues

I just noticed you said black screen, that most definitely is a kernel issue but its a ROM base mismatch, you just needed to fast boot the mean kernel most likely
I had this problem literally yesterday. All you need to do is flash the boot.img located in the unzipped folder of meanrom and then flash via fast boots via pc or mac. Wipe everything first and then flash the BOOT.IMG. THEN FLASH MEAN ROM and wipe cache etc.
Sent from my EVO on CM10
Yeah I read too quickly and missed the part about the black screen. I decided it was better to outline the whole process
ok i downloaded a new rom, verified md5sum, and unzipped the rom. i also downloaded eclipse and am linking eclipse and android sdk to try and make this a little easier, i hope. i feel like such a total noob, well for the most part i am.... i guess what i am saying is that i don;t know if i am removing boot.img from zip or if i'm just checking something on the boot.img using adb
You just need adb tools, you are making this a little harder then it needs to be

I have a HTC Rezound unlocked, S-On. I tried flashing over RevRom 2.5 earlier and continuely got stuck in a bootloop over and over. I am at the point now that i can't get back even to my backup. Says that there isn't a nandroid back up on my device. I have full access to Fastboot and Recovery. I am currently using RA-Vigor-V3.15. I have tried flashing older versions but phone will reboot. Any ideas? Thanks
Did you try flashing another Rom ..try that

Did you flash the kernel installer
I have tried a couple times. When i try to wipe Data, it gives me a warning saying "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 (File Exists) and then says error mounting /data/.
When i try to flash another rom, it seems like Recovery reboots itself really fast and returns to main menu inside Recovery
i even have my nandroid saying "Restore Complete" but once it goes to reboot, all i have is a black screen.
Yes i did use the RevRom Kernall installer and thats when it first started getting stuck in bootloop. I gave the boot loop 15 minutes before doing anything because i heard the first time with RevRom took around 10 minutes to fully load
Did u flash the proper ph image for the Rom

No prob, HTC has been pretty bipolar with their hboots.

Ah no wonder, I saw that it was finally updated, no wonder these threads came back with such a vengeance, he really should link the adb mini SDK for people with a disclaimer about the hboot. This sudden influx irked me

Hi guys,
My nexus 9 WIFI is stuck at the loading screen after I attempted an OTA update. I'd like to get it back to the way it was without wiping data.
I have TWRP as recovery and a custom kernel.
Because of this. my tablet stopped flashing the monthly security updates.
I installed FlashFire to install an OTA. which I downloaded from:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota#volantis
I picked the MOB30G version as I have the MOB30D currently installed.
Anyway, I ran FlashFire and selected the OTA zip and ran the process. It looked like it worked and then it rebooted.
It then got stuck on the loading screen.
I can still get into recovery if I want to flash a clean install but I'd rather not lose my date. Is there a way I can get this working? Maybe flash stock recovery and then install the OTA via ADB (instructions?)?
Thanks for any help.
Get the latest factory image and use fastboot to flash it. Can be done without wiping data.
Just don't use flash-all script without modifying it, so it doesn't wipe.
---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
The link you provided have full OTA images and you could have picked the latest MOB30M
OK I fixed it by flashing the FIRE-ICE kernel again. I think the OTA flash did something to it.
Can you help me?

@mykiller454 You would be better off posting and looking for help in your device forum. If there is one.
Here's the deal,
1. I was on resurrection remix 7.1 custom rom with TWSRP recovery installed.
2. Wanted to go back to stock huawei honor 5x OS so I downloaded it on the internet, since I live in Malaysia, I searched for "Huawei Honor 5x Stock Rom Malaysia Variant"
3. Flash the rom, got EMUI 2.0 instead of the written EMUI 3.1 on the file (the file name is KIW-L22_C636B130_Firmware_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_Malaysia.zip"
4. Flashed HONOR_5X_Firmware_KIW-L22_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0.1_C675B360CUSTC675D002.zip that I got from huawei's website
5. Stuck in bootloop.
6. I went into TWRP recovery and tried to do something but I couldn't use the touchscreen for some odd reason
7. Went and browsed XDA for around 2 hours and found that I can install another recovery that uses the volume buttons and the power buttons to navigate, thus I installed a recovery called "carliwm touch recovery"
8. Was happy could finally do something, successfully flashed the recovery. Went and downloaded Lineage OS rom based on my mistakes that I've done and never want to go back to stock rom.
9. The recovery has an option to mount the external sd card (my sd card in my phone, dont know why it's called as such), so I did, I still couldn't navigate using the touchscreen as it's disfunctional still but can still navigate using volume and power buttons.
10. Wiped all data, flashed Lineage OS, flashed GAPPS.
11. Stuck in recovery for some reason, can't get into my phone. I've re-flashed it many times
For those who want to know my phone model, it's KIW-L22. When it had stock rom it was EMUI 4 something, can't remember as it's very vague. I think it was marshmallow
Please help
EDIT:
I use Huawei Update Extractor to get into the stock rom that had EMUI 2.0, extracted the System and Recovery images
Used this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoZQHTidnGA&t=629s ) to flash back to stock rom that had EMUI 2.0
The only way to get out of the recovery is to reboot the phone
In the bootloader, it says "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
UPDATE:
I've tried to follow the video again and re-flashed the stock rom with EMUI 2.0 and it still doesn't work
I've wiped everything in the phone using the recovery (wiped data and factory reset), going to sleep as it's 4:37 AM
This is what happens when you dont read the guides that are posted all over this forum, we have seen it so many times I have lost count and also the inclination to help sort out the mess, I would never ever in my life download any firmware that wasn't posted on XDA or flash a phone without reading guides on here first as they usually not only give the correct information but usually point to the correct firmware.

Your touchscreen isn't working and your getting a bootloop because you probably have the wrong boot.image this is clealy the case as your touch screen isn't working, if you search through my guides for al10 which i cant be bothered to get the link for now one of them has a link to a twrp image of what i rhink is l22, anyway its a twrp image, you can flash that using twrp and it should restore your phone, good luck

Probably not working because boot.img is messed up, you cant have flashed it right, you only option is to try flashing each partition with the extracted files and hope it works and if it doesnt return it to a service center, im out of ideas im afraid, i flashed my boot.img before and it worked when i had no touch screen, didnt you make a backup before you messed with the phone ? Could end up being a expensive mistake, maybe try other boot.img or ask someone on here with a l24 for a copy of their boot.img but without that your screwed as it cant load the touchscreen drivers.

Dont forget to MAKE A BACKUP !
Hello I'm new to this the only phone I rooted was way back when u just had to throw some files on your phone install and your good, anyway thst being said I can't figure out how to root my phone I have a lg tribute empire (mcv1s) x220 android Oreo 8.1. I have heard you need a unlocked bootloader to do roots now however when I do try to unlock my bootloader with the platform-tools it does not boot into fast boot mode and in recovery mode it shoes unauthenicated device, no fastboot devices showing up, I feel like I should mention that I have tryed just about every ****ing driver I could find and tutorial if anyone could give me some guidance that would be great. P.S. sorry for the long type out

I don't have this device myself and there's very little (maybe 1-2) threads that discusses the LG Tribute Empire (LM-X220PM) device.
But there's some hope!
Since this device has a MediaTek MT6750 Chipset with a 64-bit Processor, you can always try to go in that direction.
The following thread would be a good start for what you are looking for...

You really don't need to keep me posted...
I had just provided you with a bit of information to help out with a boost/alternative route for what you're looking for.
Good Luck!

sadly i dont think its possible yet
I don't know if things have changed for new MediaTek devices (regarding FRP) but i would recommend to read a lot about SP Flash Tool, especially how to make a full ROM dump (read back), what is a scatter file, and why it is important to never flash the preloader. if you get managed to install the MediaTek MT65xx USB VCOM Preloader Drivers (which works best with battery removed), you should be able to make a backup (= read back) from SP Flash Tool.
If this first step fail for some new security features (i don't know), don't go further here...
If you not absolutely sure that a scatter file is matching your partition layout, do not flash anything!
Next (non-invasive) thing is to get fastboot working. you can reboot to bootloader, which is just another name for fastboot mode. this can be done from recovery, from a working adb, or with the proper key combo. once you see the device serialno after typing "fastboot devices" you managed this step.
Then you can go over to read about Magisk. rooting with Magisk is easy, all you have to do is provide your original boot.img to the Magisk Manager, then (invasive) flash the patched_boot.img.
Before flashing, take the decision if you are willing to factory reset your device.
If yes, first disable FRP (= enable OEM unlocking). then unlock your bootloader from fastboot. This will trigger FACTORY RESET! if you are afraid about flashing, first just boot the magisk patched_boot.img from fastboot without flashing it. then you can flash your magisk patched_boot.img from fastboot, too. i will not post fastboot syntax here because it differs for (non-)A/B devices
If no, you can try to flash (= Download) magisk patched_boot.img from SP Flash Tool. This should work with locked bootloader (at least it worked for older devices). Maybe you have to remove some checksum (files, or inside scatter file, i don't know). Again, most important: Make 100% sure you use the right scatter file (a successfully magisk patched boot.img from read back is not a bullet-proof indicator, but regarding the boot(a/b) partition(s) it may sufficient)
If the rooting fail for some reason or your device is not working anymore, flash back the full ROM dump with same scatter file you used for read back. This should restore it's original state (again, do not flash preloader!)
lg tribute empire
the majisk root does sound interesting, do you think i can have a copy of the boot.img or can you post thanks, i also found build a twrp for lg mtk i might try

anyone found anything ?
You can create a boot.img with SP Flash Tool by yourself (ROM dump/readback)
a rainbow
i dont have a p.c, i just figured someone might post a boot.img or something of use for someone else
without pc you can't flash boot.img or recovery.img
i was going to flash from my spare phone witch is rooted put adb/fastboot in xbin, im not sure if it works on the mtk

theres a twrp for the lmx210ma which might be looked at or modded, the lmx220ma is the empire
then try 'fastboot boot twrp.img' once in twrp install magisk.zip. but thus requires unlocking bootloader (factory reset)

so like I was saying I need a boot.IMG or copy, if adb doesn't work I reset my computer or phone and used cwroot (the one that uses a script) root.sh to get the adb shell, that or factory reset the empire, and computer, reinstall adb ... thanks
fastboot only works from usb cable and is not related to adb. If you want to flash boot.img from adb you need a root shell. If you have a root shell you can dump boot.img by yourself with dd. If you find stock ROM you can extract boot.img from download, but you won't be able to flash boot.img without root shell, twrp or fastboot. besides this you need to unlock bootloader (which is only possible from fastboot) in order to get the capability to disable dm-verity, otherwise your phone won't boot with modified boot partition (and may become soft-bricked)
Another root method is bootless root
I strongly recommend you don't make things over-complicated and just find a pc you can use for 1/2 hour
maybe your device comes shipped with fastboot disabled?
