So...I am on stock nougat, nothing installed. I flash twrp 3.1.1, I go into twrp, click install, image, click recovery, root and install, then reboot and hold volume up and home, it says in yellow boot recovery, then goes to black screen. Then cannot power on, cannot boot into recovery, can only boot into download mode and reflash and try again.

yes there is a # on my terminal when i open twrp 3.1.1.
i think the problem lies in rebooting after flashing the new recovery twrp, it just doesnt work. i am going to redownload and transfer to my sd card again and see if maybe the download was bad.

Also in doing this wihtout having the twrp 3.2.3 and just trying from 3.1.1 results in mount: can't find /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 in /etc/fstab
I tried going into mount and clicking system too, still no dice. Really wanted to try this rom though, but all brick walls.

Soi you want me to flash magisk before I flash the new recovery, because i cant get the new recovery to work at all
Read everything i ve posted I said it was efs
Dude your all over the map man
1. Flash nougat firmware the last one you had boot up in the rom
2. Flash twrp 3.1.1
3. Flash SuperSU 2.7.9 or magisk 17.1 probably should go with SuperSU 2.82 SR5 beta.
4. Mack a back up
5. Reboot into rom
6. Reboot back into twrp and type that code it fixes your efs partition and resets it. Into terminal emulator inside twrp try it to it says writing inode or something like that. Both lines.
Reboot .
7. Go back into twrp flash image in install menu find twrp 3.2.3 I'm file make sure it's a image file.
Here's a section of my first post
Let's me also ask did you wipe efs partition with twrp 3.2.1 from the other thread at anytime? Try 3.2.3 either flash tar with Odin or extract img and flash in twrp recovery.
P.s. also yes twrp 355 3.1.1 does work on smt350 very well but still twrp3.2.3 should be the one to use.
If you wiped efs with twrp 3.2.1 and got an error you need to get back on to nougat firmware and then you into twrp terminal in advanced. Type in the first line hit enter then type in second command enter. You will no be able to boot marshmallow but you still might get drk error I got. It's because twrp 3.2.1 came from lte source codes and people think there the same there not the efs partition controls you Bluetooth and wifi on lte I'm sure it controls data. So it's not the same and it damages it and can't fix it because the partitions aren't setup right. I hope this helps. Guys take notes xda is for helping to not just getting root then leaving try to help out.
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
If you can't boot into nougat go into twrp and type that code into the terminal emulator then when you get it to say writing idone or something it's working if you can't see the screen is black you have to search xda on tab a forms there's a fix a don't remember anyone please if you had twrp black screen what did you do? I've never had it.

No you can't flash magisk before twrp that makes no sense.
Please let me know what firmware update your trying to flash it Should be a the last one you had when you got the efs error and was able to boot into rom. That firmware only that one. No others will work I had this problem and fixed it. Also what twrp were you using when you got the efs error? Please answer it will help others to not touch it. I noticed that twrp 3.2.1 was taking down so I'm wondering did twrp 3.2.3 cause the error?

Everyone did I not explain the fix right? I'm trying to learn how to help people on xda and if you guys think I didn't explain things right please let me know. I am fine with criticism so I can learn how to better help people.
