Troubleshooting

After clicking on the Android icon from the Windows desktop, if it boots into TWRP recovery:

• (This error generally occurs if you are using a custom ROM and flashed WinInstaller from an inactive partition.)
• Switch slots in TWRP reboot section and reboot to the system.
• Open the Woa-Helper app, allow root permission, click on MOUNT WINDOWS PARTITION, then click on backup boot partition and select Windows.

If it fails to boot into Windows, do the following steps:

• Reboot to fastboot and flash your Android boot.img: fastboot flash boot_ab /path/to/boot.img.
• You can just reboot into TWRP by using the command fastboot boot /path/to/twrp.img and restore boot.img from the /sdcard/backup folder.
• If you are using an AOSP ROM and TWRP is installed in the secondary partition, type the fastboot command fastboot set_active other and your Android will be back.

Tip

You can use Nabu Fastboot Tool to enter all these commands for troubleshooting.

Locate the backup folder on your device's internal storage and save it to a safe place (such as Google Drive).
