[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmickey:
I have spent the better part of two days searching for a solution with no avail so I thought I would post up what I see and determine if someone else has found a solution (I have found similar posts with either no answers or successful outcomes).

I was on OG5 and kept postponing the OTA update (phone was stock, not rooted as I received it with OE1 on it and eventually took the OG5 update since the bootloader was already locked). Last week I fell asleep and forgot to plug in my phone, and when I woke up the battery was dead. When I plugged it in I got the bootloop (without the RECOVERY BOOTING banner at the top). I have Odin 3.09, and have tried flashing different images including just the ROM, the ROM & recovery, etc, as well as the full factory image with the bootloader included. If I try to flash anything with a bootloader in it older than OG5 I get the error (as expected). However, all flashes end up in the blue "RECOVERY BOOTING...." loop. If I force it to recovery I get Maintenance Recovery and not the full factory recovery so that i could clear cache and Dalvik (as many have suggested). Basically, I'm trapped when trying to boot into regular recovery and cannot get there. Even tried repartitioning when flashing, all to no avail.

I saw a thread somewhere a couple days ago back on something with two phones (known good, another with issues) and a way to recover the dead one with the help of the other, but have not been able ot find it since.

Can someone hopefully provide me counsel on how to either fix what I am seeing or perhaps to the other thread as I have access to a working S5 with OE1 on it that I can use to make any custom image and/or something to help out? Below is my output from Odin - appears to work every time it flashes anything that doesn't contain a bootloader older than OG5:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painiac:
This is conjecture, based on what I've read recently.

I believe what you're asking about is the Unbrick image, but my understanding is that is only needed when you are not able to get Odin to recognize that your device is even a phone. In any case, you would need to use one that matches the firmware and bootloader version of your phone.

Your Odin output reports that it IS connecting to the phone, that factory image md5 is valid, and that it is flashing successfully.

You cannot downgrade below BOE, but you can always go up. Maybe try using Odin to flash the BOK3 image linked in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370

Update 2/1/2016

Well, I was fed up last night and left the phone in the boot loop as I headed off to bed (watched it boot loop about 10 times). Woke up Sunday and it had booted up and was running with all the data intact, even after I had tried to do a Factory Reset from the Maintenance Recovery menu. Got curious, powered it down and it it boot looped a couple times (without the RECOVERY BOOTING banner) and then came up ... after that it seemed to be OK as later in the day I powered it down a couple times and it came up fine.

Thanks for the reference [MENTION=3529193]painiac[/MENTION] - I was able to flash either OK3 or OG5 with success from Odin (the full factory images) but behavior was the same.

I got curious and tried to boot into recovery this morning and now it's boot-looping again - sigh... Was going to let it run the battery out trying to boot and after about 12-15 loops it finally came back! Hopefully the patience theme seen above may help others who are in the same scenario as this phone never seems to boot into standard recovery even after flashing full factory images.

At this point, I am planning on (hopefully) getting it booted up one last time, copying all my data off of it, and then walk into Verizon and try to get an exchange as this is not normal behavior and smells to me a bit like a hardware issue but my searches have determined that I am not the only one with this issue - HTH someone...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painiac:
I agree, it's probably a hardware issue because a fresh factory image should have wiped out any problems that would be causing a bootloop. That combined with the fact that the problem persists across different version flashes.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcyber20:
I was running Pure Nexus and decided I would install Chroma today. I made a full backup in recovery with TWRP. I then installed Chroma and Gapps. Upon booting it told me I needed to update my vendor image. I couldn't remember how I did that the last time so I decided to just go back to my Pure Nexus and restore it. When I tried I got this error: "E: Cannot restore System -- mounted read only". Anyone got a clue how to fix this so I can restore that backup? I've searched and didn't find a solution. Also, couldn't find exactly how to flash the update vendor.img. Should have written all this down when I did it back in November. Any help appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
Download the latest factory image for angler on Google's developer page and extract the file. Use fastboot to flash the vendor.img. Check the pinned guide in this section for help. As far as recovery goes, did you try mounting system and then restoring? I've honestly never tried on my 6P, so I can't speak from experience. Just a guess based off the error.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcyber20:
Well, I downloaded the latest image yesterday and connected my phone up and fast fastboot and when I checked for devices it showed the number of the phone and then said unauthorized device and I was unable to do anything with it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcyber20:
Nevermind, I finally figured it out. In TWRP under MOUNT you have to uncheck "make system partition read only". Now my restore is working. The simply things :D Now, to see if I can get the newest vendor image to flash.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcyber20:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kokatak66:
I initiated the latest system upgrade (1/30/16) which reached 86% complete when the phone was sent to what appeared to be a DOS screen with commands such as reboot, etc. There was a message at the bottom saying that the upgrade failed. I attempted a reboot but get a message saying:

handle_cota_install: install cwprop to /cache/data/cwtemp/cwpkg.zip

handle_cota_install: install cwprop to /cache/data/cwtemp/cw.prop

Write host_mode success

handle_cota_install: Can't mount /sdcard

Does this make sense to anyone? Any suggestions for a fix / repair? Thank you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Rooted device? The OTAs won't work if your phone was rooted, even if you "unroot" via SU.

What you'll need to do in that case is flash a never rooted TWRP backup, and also the stock recovery, to make the OTA flash succesfully.

You can find all the information you need for that on this thread.

Good luck!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmySoo:
My phone has lost its IMEI for unknown reason (unable to detect in the OS - shown invalid), I think the radio is corrupted, in this case if I were to flash the radio I need to get S-OFF and rooted, which is harder than installing a RUU right?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank7795:
I would say, just try flashing the stock nandroid backup first. It might help you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmySoo:
Well unfortunately it didn't work, I believe I got an error where it says the efs partition is corrupted which the issue I'm facing. And since sunshine S-OFF requires the internet connection (WiFi / Mobile), which in this case not available on my device, I'm stuck and getting nowhere.

I might have a way of easily flash TWRP, and install SuperSU, use the Temporary recovery project to boot temporarily into twrp and flashing supersu, theres an easy way of getting twrp permanently but ill try it when i get the tablet 31th of this month.

Also this temporary recovery does not require an unlocked bootloader since it uses a flaw in bootloader to load twrp, but it might be patched, just try it.

I think its time to share at least some results, i was able to port TWRP 3.0.2 to this device AND ROOTING this device. ill leave twrp 3.0.2 here for who wants it. Please read all of the post.

=============================================================================================

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOTING:

After flashing TWRP 3.0.2, use the SuperSU 2.46 flashable zip, do NOT use latest version or will result in a bootloop. Good Luck and have fun with rooting. Links on bottom of the post.

=============================================================================================

REQUIREMENTS

1- Unlocked Bootloader (search on google if you dont know how to unlock)

2- Drivers and Adb/Fastboot commands knowledge

=============================================================================================

New TWRP bugfix update! Now you can flash stock rom on TWRP without bricking! Download Page updated!

=============================================================================================

Bugs:

1- adb shell command needs to be sent before system partition is mounted or it will give an error, after doing adb shell you can mount system and do all the modifications you need.

2- You cant flash any img on twrp it gives an error, im trying to fix.

3- Backups do work, but everytime twrp restarts, the device name seems to change (which means that on /TWRP/BACKUPS/devicename/backupsinside/ changes every reboot so you have to go get the backup inside the old devicename folder and put on the new devicename folder).

=============================================================================================

Im leaving an unsecured boot image because system seems not want to boot android if anything seems changed. So please if system does not boot after flashing twrp/rooting, flash the unsecured boot img on fastboot.

=============================================================================================

Also im asking just a little bit of your time to request our device to have our own forum threads as it will make it a lot easier to manage the development and make it easier for people with same device to find it, request it here, the more people the better the higher chances we get to see a forum thread for our device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660354

Hi Ruben mind posting a step-by-step guide? How do you flash the TWRP? And which .img file in your shared zip file should we use?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruben Craveiro:
on this thread simply scroll up and you should see it, its saying what bugs and names of the images are pretty straightforward.. flash the unsecured boot (its names osmething like that), and flash the TWRP.img, the root you will have to search on google for version 2.46, if u use the latest you will have bootloop
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thexile:
For those who are unfamiliar with ADB/Fastboot, these are steps:

1. Download and extract the files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxzG5iupOOSKNTdlRC1Wd0VmTlk/view?usp=drivesdk

2. Power off the tablet.

3. Enter fastboot mode by pressing the power button while holding down Vol -

4. Open up command prompt and navigate to the directory where fastboot.exe is located

5. Pass the following commands:

fastboot flash boot unsecured.img
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

6. Reboot into recovery (TWRP) and install SuperSU v2.46.zip
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruben Craveiro:
I Found a way to customize this tablet using RRO layers, It's available on the play store, it can change how the SystemUI looks, framework, apps, status bar, etc.

This is a good alternative since xposed framework does not support x64.. (it says it supports but when flashing it does not work).

Before installing this you have to restore the AOSP quicksettings, you can download System app safe remover and look for AcerQuickSettings and uninstall it, then reboot, and you should have the AOSP quicksettings.

Screenshots:

You can also easily change navbar buttons with a paid app called softkeyz that is avaible on playstore (you can get it for free from outside playstore but i cannot share any links).

It does a great job and even backups original nav bar buttons in case if you want to restore them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruben Craveiro:
our system uses x86_x64, so we have to wait until xposed officially supports x86_64, so no, theres no way of getting it working for now, since the creator of exposed does not even have a x86_64 device to test.. how could you miss fastboot oem unlock and at same time be able to boot TWRP?
