Hai everyone~ It seems people are getting BootLoops from TWRP, and a few other reasons. I though that i would post something i found a long time ago in hopes it will help you out.

DISCLAIMER: This should not cause any problems and its completely safe but just in case, im NOT held responsible for anything you do. Whatever you do is your fault. DO NOT FLASH THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW 100% WILL WORK OR ARE NOT SURE IT WILL WORK WITH YOUR DEVICE. That being said, here you are.

Credits: @shimp208 on XDA for Minimal ADB and Fastboot
@filmaker on XDA for Desktop ROM Flasher


DIRECTIONS: This is very simple. I will be linking two things. These are two small and safe files to get your device back in working condition. 1. Download
[TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot. ( You should have this already downloaded since you are in the rooting forums anyway)
&
[Utility] Desktop Rom Flasher.

Install these two files. Open ADB and Fastboot first and let it install it system wide (takes less than a minute) then the Desktop Flasher. BAM, you are done. Connect your phone while its Bootlooping and drag and drop the files to Desktop Flasher. (THE FILES YOU WANNA DRAG AND DROP SHOULD BE TWRP 2.8.7.0) (while you are at it, you can flash CM12,1 or 13 if you want)

HOPE YOU ENJOY!

While it's bootlooping? That doesn't sound right... Don't you need to boot into download mode? Trying to install a file while it's actively rebooting sounds like asking for trouble.

Doesnt do anything wrong, tried this so many times on my phone. while it bootlooping twrp, just drag and drop twrp 2.8.7.0 and itll force boot into twrp and flash it.

I've done this too, what is happening is ADB is running during the bootloop of TWRP v3.0.0. It's not quite a full boot loop, it's more like something is crashing just before TWRP v3.0.0 is able to completely load. Because of this the Rom Flasher utility above is able to connect via ADB to flash the old recovery. It's basically a nicer GUI version of my tutorial I posted here http://androidforums.com/threads/ju...or-g2-mini-sources.977839/page-6#post-7281141

Plus mine is noob proof just in case. Someone with your explanation with do something wrong and not follow your directions.
 
I'm going to try this tonight. So is there any harm in having phone in download mode and follow this procedure or do I just turn phone on let it TWRP bootloop and then do this procedure?

thanks OP for posting this, I'll let ya know if it worked.

While it bootlooping/crashing before twrp, just drag and drop twrp file to flash. Thats what i do. Good Luck
 
Ok. I notice on flasher it has 3 options to wipe Data , Cache and Dalvik. Do I need to check any of those ?

Guys. I have the TWRP 3.0 reboot problem. The Desktop Flasher uses zip files. I can only find twrp 2.8.7.0 as an image file. Where can I find a zip file?

Cant recall exactly but pretty sure I used 2.8.7.0 image file just had to do procedure a few times to get to work. I too was about to give up then all of a suddent it worked. Play with it some more it will eventually work just need it to work once :)
 
I try to flash my HTC m9 (stuck in bootloop) with twrp 2.8.7 using above methods but when I start desktop flasher.exe, it shows offline. Then i restarted my PC and again tried. This time it shows online so i drag twrp but it says couldn't push to sd card. I have already external sd card in phone. And then again it shows offline. Means i have to restart my pc to show up as online. Pls help
