I am trying to recover from accidentally rebooting from LG's update. I have a rooted LG V10 with TWRP installed. After I accidentally accepted LGs update, it only reboots into TWRP.
I've been wanting to reflash a new ROM so I downloaded a Rooted Stock ROM w Busybox and copied onto my external SD. In TWRP I did a wipe and then an install. The install goes way too fast maybe 5s. Then on the reboot it says that No OS Installed! When I reboot, it again only reboots into TWRP. Looking under Mount I see that System is not mounted. I can check it off, but after i reboot, it is unchecked again.
Can anyone tell me how to get the System partition to automatically mount so I can get a ROM flashed?
Thanks!

I was trying to install CM12 on my VS980 LG G2, and in order to do that I installed TWRP 2.8 because that was what they recommended to use with that version. It worked, and I installed it by using the flashable zip from http://blastagator.ddns.net/twrp/2-8-3-1.php
I used this recovery to install the latest build of CM12 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-lg-g2-t2944269 after wiping my data using advanced wipe as the TWRP thread says to. I wiped Dalvik, system, and cache, and then flashed the ROM, GApps, and SU.
When I rebooted, I was bootlooping. Not too abnormal for flashing things on this phone, so I went back into recovery to restore the backup I had made, to find that the backups file list is completely blank. No (Up a folder) or anything. So I panic, and think I wiped more than I have to, so in order to reset everything and start over, I did a format. It says it completes, so I reboot and get back into recovery, and push a new rom to /data/media/0.
Now, when I try to install that zip, it's not there. Nothing gets placed in there. Installing a zip from anywhere else results in bootloops because it can't boot anything, somehow. It's like there's two partitions and it's trying to boot from the one with nothing on it, and that's the same one I'm shown when I go into the restore menu. There are folders like /data/, /sdcard/, etc still visible if I try the install option, but they do not show up when I try to use the file manager in TWRP.
I'm not sure what to do, can I fix the partitions that TWRP is looking at somehow, or is that not even the issue here? I would like my phone to be usable and I feel that having the recovery it shouldn't be this hard to get it back to booting order.
Thanks
I have close to the same issue on my vs980. Except I have twrp 2.7 and I can't flash it 2.8.4 it always fails. But cm12 and gapps were successful on 2.7 version of twrp except it out me in a bootloop. Which my backup and everything was still there for me to restore. Do you have an issues with random reboots after you put twrp on your phone too?
So... Actually did flash FlashableStock KK for my device, but T-Mobile's OTA showed up, and did reboot to install for curiosity, and now the thing only reboots in TWRP, did wipes and format partitions directly in TWRP, and flashed OrionOS, but nothing, it says that flash was succesful, but keeps rebooting in recovery, any help?
So I tried reinstalling LOS, but I got an error: failed to update system image. So I wiped EVERYTHING. the internal storage, data, cache, everything. Then I reinstalled it. Same error but it said success. So I tried rebooting to the system, NOPE, straight to TWRP. Now I was scared. Why is this happening?? So I tried reinstalling twrp, changing the rom, but nothing fixed it. Now, nothing will boot other than TWRP. I try the bootloader, straight to twrp. I try system, straight to twrp. I try fastboot, straight to twrp. Please help, I need to keep my snapchat streaks alive :crying::crying:
I would try to install lg stock rom and then root, unlock bootloader, twrp and finally lineageos.
I'm having a similar nightmare. I have a D415 running running LineageOS 14.1. I downloaded the February 24th update and clicked on it. That booted me into TWRP. I wasn't sure what to do next, so I tried to reboot into the system but it send me straight back to TWRP. Then I booted into recovery, I think, and figured out how to install the update. However, I still couldn't boot the system. Then, I tried to restore the system . Everything seemed to go fine, but TWRP just looped me back to TWRP.
Just to be clear, is the correct method of booting to the system to select "reboot", then "system"? Is there any other method?
On the main screen, there's a selection called "Mount". If I click on it, I see "Select Partitions to Mount" . The top selection, "System", is unticked. I tried ticking it and rebooting, but was still returned to TWRP.
I was in the same boat....
Hey everyone, I'm hoping this works for you like it did for me. I'm a avid fan of the Linage OS and TWRP-- I donate to them like they're a charity! Lol....
Any who, I constantly check weekly for my "nightly" fix; however dread the update due to the TWRP loop. So, I decided to download the update via my phone browser to the SD card, and update manually.
What do you know, no TWRP loop! I use to have to go thru a 4 line script I found online to boot up to the system. So basically, go to recovery and install the update manually. Don't let the updater do it for you. If you are using Linage SU and Xposed, remember to reinstall.

I found the script on Reddit under Linage OS: "How to fix TWRP boot loop after OTA. The article says it's only for MAKO devices; however, due desperation I tried it and it worked.
Use the l90 repartion tool
If u have a custom recovery use LG optimus l90 Reparation tool . Pick the stock option. It'll reboot then start again to finish. When it's done you'll be in clockwork recovery. Don't worry if u had twrp. Mount system then flash a cm based rom plus apps. See if it works.
I got distracted by life, but this weekend I put in some hours working on the phone again. The phone is stuck in TWRP 3.1.1-0. After endless misery, it seems it had a corrupted SD card. I've got a new 32gb SDHC in FAT32. I put lineage-14.1-20181007-nightly-w7-signed.zip on the card and put the card in the phone. Then I browsed to "install" and selected "sdcard (29648mb)". However, the zip file doesn't appear. There's just a folder that says "(Up A Level)". If I click that, there's a ton of empty folders.
How come the zip file doesn't appear? How can I install Lineage?
Here's more stuff I've tried:
installed Java (necessary for ADB, I think) for Windows 7
Installed universal ADB drivers
Plugged in phone
Followed instructions on https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/ "Microsoft Windows ADB Setup”
Opened ADB, typed "ADB Devices"
My phone not detected.
Windows sees it as "target_device=w7"
Tried installing LG drivers. No love.
Summary:
1. Flash factory image onto phone successfully
2. Install twrp and make a backup
3. Restore backup after reboot and I'm stuck in a bootloop
I have a new fi Moto x4 running Android 8.1 that I'm attempting to set up. I've reset this phone a bunch of times so here is the standards process:
1. Flash factory firmware as shown in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348
I'm using: PAYTON_FI_OPW28.46-13_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
2. After flashing, start up the phone and it works fine.
3. Reboot into the bootloader and boot to twrp using: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img
4. Copy in the twrp install file using: adb push twrp-installer-payton-3.2.3-1.zip /sdcard
5. Install the zip via the twrp Install function
6. Reboot the phone into the bootloader then start recovery
7. Use the twrp Backup function to create a backup of the Boot, Data and System partitions on Internal Storage (plenty of space).
8. Reboot the phone into the bootloader then start recover
9. Use the twrp Restore function to restore the backup. Finishes fine.
10. Reboot phone to system but the load won't finish. Phone just alternates between the Android One and the Motorola splash screens. Left it for an hour at one point just to be sure. No love.
Things I have tried:
1. Using twrp via fastboot boot and a hard install
2. Making backups to the internal and external memory cards
3. Changing the partitions in the backup
4. Wiping everything except the external sim card before performing a restore
If anyone has any thoughts I would love to here them.
Thank you!
I'm having a similar problem and found this old thread. I am on stock pie rooted and made a twrp backup this morning so that I could try flashing some custom ROMs. After successfully installing a custom ROM I attempted to restore the backup and return to stock but just get bootloop. I am able to get back to to twrp and the phone will boot after a factory reset, but even if I just restore data I get bootloop. I'm wondering what I am doing wrong with restoring the backup. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I have the same problem as you are. After I finished install all applications, I made a backup with twrp-3.2.3-1-payton. Then next day I restore it from the backup, after finished backup, it goes to bootloop forever. My version is OPWS28.46.21.12, I download stock rom OPW28.46-13 but afraid to flash this rom since it is the lower version might be break the phone if not backward compatible. Then I search the web and found your message and follow this side fund a higher version of the stock rom OPWS28.46-21-14. I download it and flash it. After flashing complete and boot up, it saying new OTA update available, I don't want to update the rom since I want my phone rom version is same as the stock rom I have downloaded into my PC just in case in the future I accidentally doing something wrong I can flash back the stock rom without worrying the backward compatibility problem.

I'm a bit slow on the response - but my first thought is manually flash stock rom over your restore without wiping data
I'm able flash the latest stock rom of FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-4 and reinstall twrp-3.2.3-1-payton. Then I restore data only that backup from previous rom, I get bootloop again after restore the data only from TWRP. The I reflash FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-4 again, install twrp and root it with Magisk. Restore data from cloud google drive automatically. And this time is successfully without bootloop.
SOLVED So I booted, not flash TWRP and went pushed the open gapps Aroma zip to my external sd. Then I flash AROMA, went through the process there, then executed it. But I don't think it did anything. I manually exited Aroma only find myself stuck in TWRP. I cannot reboot to system. Ive erased data,system, everything, and the phone keeps booting into TWRP, Wtf? Any ideas how to get to my bootloader, let alone the system??
