Ok... So...
I installed fulmics through TWRP and all worked great
After that, I installed a v30 Rom also with TWRP and that worked great, too, but i decided i like fulmics more and wanted to go back
Retried TWRP and kinda worked, but some errors were popping up all the time, so i decide to reinstall it
Now here i am. When it boots, goes straight in TWRP. I tried a stock zip to flash with TWRP, no luck.
When in TWRP I can see the phone on pc, internal storage in empty.
Fastboot works.
When i load up LGUP, under the version tab, it shows fulmics mod and i can't take any action
How fried is it?

Try doing a complete wipe, wipe cache, Dalvik, data, system. Then wipe internal storage via the format data option and reboot recovery. I am guessing that you're on the h850 variant so Flash the 20s complete firmware zip then flash SuperSU or magisk. See if it boots into system.
I do still suggest hooking it up to your PC and flashing stock firmware kdz 20s using uppercut. If if it is recognizing fastboot commands then you should have no issue flashing a new recovery image after you load the stock kdz, you may even be able to flash a new recovery image instead of going through all the other steps that I listed. Which may some your issue. But it's best to format data entirely before flashing anymore ROMs, and use lgup via uppercut to flash stock firmware and let it boot entirely before reflashing fulmics.
But formatting data is key to reset the system folders which were leftover from other ROMs and likely the cause of the issues you experienced.

So I followed these instructions to root my LG G3 https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/3qcctd/how_do_i_root_a_vs985_running_511_35b/cwe6756. Everything worked fine at first,I downgraded and rooted kitkat,then installed TWRP. After flashing the ROM,nothing displayed on the phone. The phone is booting,I can feel vibrations and hear the volume up notifications,but I'm having trouble getting into recovery. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the fact that I accidentally flashed the cache after flashing the 9.1 rom,and that I forgot to do a factory reset after the first one. What should I do now?
Can you put it in Download mode? Even if the screen doesn't display anything, you can tell that you successfully got it in Download mode by looking in Windows' Device Manager. You should already have installed the Verizon LG drivers, and preferably rebooted the PC, give the PC up to 10 minutes to load the drivers the first time you connect the phone in Download mode via a USB 2.0 port and with the original cable.
If you get it in Download mode, use LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the 10B KDZ to make it easiest to root and put TWRP back on.
The problem definitely didn't have anything to do with not doing a factory reset. As long as you had wiped Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data.
By "flashing cache" if you mean wiping Cache, no, that shouldn't be the problem either.
JasmineROM 9.1 is just an update to 9.0; had you flashed 9.0 before 9.1? If not, then that's the problem.
What exactly do you mean about a problem getting into recovery? Do you mean you can't see that either or what?
I managed to get it fixed Since the phone was still working I was able to take screenshots of everything I was doing while hooked up to my computer until I could use Flashify to reboot into fastboot,then repeated the steps to downgrading using these instructions https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comme...phone_stuck_in_factory_reset_status_2/cmlm3wo
It probably was getting into recovery and I just didn't notice since nothing was displaying,but its all working now,and I successfully flashed CM13 instead.
My Redmi 5 plus won't boot as I messed up everything while trying to flash a couple of ROMs. At first the two ROMs that I flashed were working well. But after some time, whatever ROM I flashed, the phone started to restart while setting up the first boot (choosing language, region, etc.) and no further. So I tried wiping every partition there is under the TWRP wipe section (cache, system, vendor, data, internal storage, and so forth). Then flashed a custom ROM again with and without GApps but no success. I noticed that the phone even started to restart before the first boot finished. Also, after flashing stock ROM, TWRP said no OS installed. I even tried flashing stock MIUI ROM in fastboot mode. Although it went well, still bootloop and the device keeps restarting. However, before all of these problems, I did take a backup of every partition, leaving nothing behind, so I restored everything but again the "No OS installed, are you sure to boot?" message. Now I'm freaking out, not knowing what to do. I read somewhere that flashing via QPST tool may help but I'm having problems with installing it.
If I manage to make my phone work again, I will not flash any other ROM, ever.
Try installing new firmware with recovery, if that doesnt help you can try flashing with EDL mode.
Just open your phone and bridge these points ( on photo ) and connect phone to PC.
It should appear in XiaoMiFlash as COM[number].
Good luck!

Did u have the global or Chinese rom installed?
And which twrp version do u have?
Phone is a frankensteined LG V30, 931, I installed Lineage on it following the correct steps for prepping the phone for an AOSP rom.
I had some issues with Lineage and decided to restore from backup, but when I restored my phone it hung on the splash screen permanently. I factory data reset, no good, still hung.
Wiped everything in TWRP and flashed US990_H, booted up okay but now I'm bootlooping.
Went back into TWRP and wiped data, restored from my backup, rebooted, still bootlooping.
Went back into TWRP, wiped everything and flashed US998E, F, G, H in order, rebooted, still bootlooping.
I'm out of ideas.

What TWRP are you running? 3.2.3.7 stable from WTF?
What Magisk are you on? 19.x doesn't work well flashing TWRP flashable zips. Boot back into TWRP, uninstall Magisk and install 18.0 or 18.1.
See if that works.
____
Worst comes to worst, you can go into Download mode, flash 20H in Refurbish mode. You're back on pure stock, but still have unlocked bootloader with fastboot flash commands. Reinstall TWRP, flash the three root files again (no encryption, no root check, Magisk).
But then you'll have to manually install some stuff Johnfawkes puts in his TWRP-flashable zips.

I was on 3.2.3.7 from WTF, yes, and 19.x, that must have been my problem. I having the idea to refurbish flash 20H myself, and did that successfully. Going to go ahead and get started on installing the other files now. And doing a full system-image TWRP backup to prevent this from happening in the future.
Out of curiosity, what does Magisk do that causes this to happen? I would have thought that once I wiped the system and data partitions magisk would be gone completely.
i have a similar issue going on here and i'm stuck. bootlooping directly back to TWRP regardless of command (bootloader, power off, system). i believe i took all the right steps in WTF thread (unlocked, rooted, updated to latest H FW) then tried to flash lineageOS. even my sequential (unlock, root, update) TWRPs wont boot (they restore properly it just boots back to TWRP). i tried reflashing E,F,G,H no go.
US998, used proper 3.2.3.7 TWRP, Magisk18.
i've been flashing phones for years and this one has been difficult. any help?
EDIT: it seems the aroma installers of gapps was crashing TWRP. i was finally able to get back into bootloader and upon re-flashing TWRP everything seems back to normal. i can also recreate the problem so its def a gapps/TWRP no likey situation.
I think I ran into that once, and I powered-off fully and booted manually and it worked... you could try that. I may have even tried booting into bootloader or something, and then that fixed it too? I forget exactly, but it wasn't too big of a deal, once I got it solved, of course!
Disregard unless you want to laugh at me~
Right well i thought it was a good idea to flash ANXcamera through Magisk on the PE+ rom.
After downloading and installing the zip through magisk, i restarted my device and it go stuck in a bootloop. So i went into TWRP and installed uninmod which failed to mount magisk.img. I didnt have a lot of stuff on my phone, so i thought id just reflash the rom again. instead of PE+ which was not stable for my use, i decided to go with the EvolutionX rom. So i put EvoX rom and DFE on an external micro sd card and threw that in the phone. Following the instructions they have on their post, I managed to clear data/cache/system and internal storage (because there was something on there causing it not to boot (most likely ANX)). Flashed EvoX rom and DFE. Restarted the device to the system and managed to forget the Vendor firmware (after i scrolled down to the first comment on the EvoX post that says the flash it). I thought it was a great idea to restart the phone halfway through its first initial boot to go back to TWRP to flash the vendor firmware. But now TWRP is asking for a password. i have tried default_password and still nothing. Didn't think EvoX would boot without the vendor firmware.
Do i have any options from now? Love to hear any suggestions.
Cheers
EDIT: Should've pressed READ ONLY on TWRP. rookie maneuver, completely forgot. ended up flashing a different rom and worked fine.
Simply reflash TWRP via ADB

1. evolution x has its own vendor so you didnt have to flash any! even if you forgot it was fine!
2. seems like initially before flashing that modded cam via magisk, that rom was flashed without DFE (treble) (global) .
3. hence when you booted, the encryption stepped in.
however now
the only thing you can do is to reflash everything AFTER "FORMATING DATA"
1. use twrp from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80122987&postcount=305
2. format data , change data partition's file system to xFAT and then back to ext4. (if necessary)
3. flash firmware 9.6.27-9.0 ( is popular)
4. don't flash pe, flash some other Custom rom, I would say Bootleggers
5. flash DFE Treble
6. flash Magisk20
reboot
got her working. cheers boys
Hey all, so it appears that I screwed my phone, I am not sure how.
I was running LineageOS, and wanted to update to Android 10 one, so I followed the steps, and I think I screwed the sideloading part, so... long story short now when rebooting from OrangeFox RecoveryProject it says no OS detected, and when it boots it says encryption unsuccessful, I tried wiping and installing DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v17.2 and restarting, and the same thing happens.
I tried to flash through recovery both, and did not work:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/beryllium/
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/vendor/beryllium/
And when trying to flash through miFlash it doesn't work:
I go to fastboot in poco, hit refresh in miflash, it shows a device in the list, but the phone goes dark with 'something key to shutdown` written in the top left corner and if I hit the flash button nothing happens.
Can anyone assist with that please?

This happened to me when I accidentally deleted the OS when flashing the latest MIUI 11 build (using TWRP). THIS IS HOW I FIXED IT.
Find a full firmware of whatever you wanted to flash, either Lineage or MIUI 11. Then flash via your recovery (you said you have orangefox). Use an external sd card, external USB or HDD since you technically wouldn't have access to your internal data. After flashing, same process as most updates, clear cache and dalkiv. Then flash a newer DFE (if you still want to decrypt, there is a page here in xda with it. Or go to miui forums Happybuddhist, the mod there, made a new one prebuilt with Magisk). Then reboot into recovery to make sure you keep your custom recovery. Once booted to recov. Boot to system. Should fix the issue.

I tried that, now I am a step forward I think, I flashed the stock firmware I found, and installed the latest stock ROM, rebooted (doesn't say no os anymore), but the only thing I see is a DELETE ALL DATA button and at the bottom 'Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google account.'

So I had an OS-less phone that don't get recognised in MiFlash, and I had orangeFox recovery.
The steps to fix were:
- Flash a full stock Firmware
- Flash the stock ROM
- Flash DFE
- Format data to ext4
- Reboot and it works
So thanks all for your help
