Flash stock firmware with PIT file. Everything should be fine. Re-root and then flash CM13 again.

Don't use encryption on CM unless it's mentioned that it's stable and it works. Nightly builds aren't listed as stable for a reason.

Nexus 6 is force encrypted, so I ran into a similar problem a few days ago. Corrupt internal storage. I just re-flashed system and userdata partitions.
Everything was fine.

Btw, it is NEVER a good idea to encrypt custom roms or rooted phones. One way or the other, they cause serious issues, like the one you had.

And if you encrypt memory card, then you MUST decrypt it before factory resetting the phone.

If you factory reset the device with encrypted memory card, you will not be able to access encrypted memory card data then.

Btw, what's your LG G2 brick situation?

I my self am very much tempted. This time I surely will consider microsoft phones.

But, they are nowhere near Androids, especially when it comes to apps etc. Not worth the money atleast for now.

I bought LG G2 D802 international version with kit Kat firmware.. When i updated it through lg phone updater its become T mobile bersion D801 (most probably i have chosen incompatible taz file) now i cant get it back to D802.. Its become D802.

Nothing to worry, 99.99% LG G2 are tampered like that. So you are not alone.

[QUOTE=512a;5048816]@ihpwf12 and @s15 thanks brothers solved it just only by flashing stock firmware using Odin , ,, I was just worried coz read something similar on Web and thought I lost my internal partition permanently , but thanks to samsung for their such support to their devices , unlike LG, I know it wasn't LG company's fault that I got wrong g2 but their download mode needs a bit of programming skills that I didn't get , don't know why they just don't follow samsung ??? , beside that regarding my bricked g2, I tried it to recover and found that it stucked in fast boot, the flashing of wrong recovery somehow effects the screen and it got damaged , then used another old screen from a repair shop that was also faulty but got that for free , so I tried to recover via adb but due to my poor programming skills I failed and sold that g2 to a shopkeeper at the price of penny (rs2000) however unfortunately never tried Linux to connect the phone coz whenever I connected the phone to pc the malfunction error used to arise , my little brother few days back told me that may be in Linux that device can be recovered but sadly the device is gone ,

Bad luck happens!. Lg firmware related stuff is very complicated, and nothing at all straight forward and easy like Samsung and its Odin. And when these phones are refurbished and tampered, it gets pretty much impossible to do it correctly.

Btw, sign in your Microsoft account associated to your 535 from this website and leave the insider program from thIs website. It should work.

Windows device recovery tool for Microsoft Lumia.

Btw, what's the software build number of it? I have this one. Build number is same across different devices.

One of my friends had to reset/revert/recover the device using this recovery tool to install windows 10 update. In some builds, it is said to be impossible to update to Windows 10 mobile without resetting the device using the above recovery tool. Looks like you have this issue.

Since its released officially, so it should get windows 10 mobile update, even without being insider. No idea what's happening, lets ask @moiniqbal if he updated his 535 to Windows 10 mobile or not.

Please suggest is it fine . I mean win10 doesn't have any issues
