Please Help! - Galaxy S7 (SM-G930W8) not working post root and factory firmware reset

I'm posting this in a few places because I'm not sure which is more active, feel free to move/delete.

The past few hours have been a nightmare. I was trying to root my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930W8) so I could uninstall some of the bloatware and install some apks.

I first went to mobilesiri (Can't post links yet) to try and root my phone. I couldn't find the samsung usb driver but I figured since my phone could connect to my computer and it recognizes it perfectly, it should be fine, so I skipped that step. Through some searches I came across androidmtk's guide which seems a lot more thorough, so I compared the two guides and decided to follow the latter. That being said I downloaded the version of Odin in the first guide as it seemed less risky to do a one-click root than something more advanced, and since they were both using Odin, I figured there's no harm. Running through the steps I hit "start" in Odin and it started working, but it said "reset" when I clicked start, so I thought that was odd. A few auto-restarts later and it said "pass" but when it started to boot up there was a "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message in red at the top left.

At this point I thought maybe it worked, and the second guide told me to look for SuperSU in the apps, but it wasn't there. What's more is the software update no longer worked, and my device status was custom... basically the worst of both worlds. At this point I figured what's best is to find a stock firmware from Samsung. No such luck, even chatting with live tech support, it seems this is only done through kies, smart switch, or the phone itself. I did find something on Samsmobile which after a painfully throttled 2 hour download, gave me a version of odin they wanted me to use, along with the firmware for my specific model. I went through their instructions word for word, and it seemed to have worked. I booted up my phone, and the status said "official", so I figured it worked.

Not wanting to have all that time go to waste, I tried doing the 2nd guide, (Androidmtk) again, being really careful not to miss any steps. Same red error message, same custom status. I now have the Samsung firmware so I went back to that, and again the status said official, but now I'm having a whole bunch of issues. The keyboard sometimes doesn't come up, I can't type on it when it does, it comes up really late, the shift key flickers, sometimes it will type one character in, then as soon as I type another, it replaces it, so I can't actually type a string of characters together. The manual software update says failed processing after it tries to register the device. I heard that maybe updating through kies might work, except now I can't get the phone to connect to kies, even after running through the troubleshooter and restarting my computer.

I'm at a loss. I would love to have a rooted version of the phone but at this point just a functioning factory reset would be heavenly. Any help would be kindly appreciated!

Hi,

i've accidently erased the boot_b Partition and the oem partition using fastboot. After that i've changed to slot b using fastboot.

Now the phone isn't booting anymore into fastboot, flashmode or recoverymode. Neither booting or charging is possible.

I've also tried to reflash with Newflasher, but Newflasher couldn't find the device.

When I connect the phone to the Computer, the notification LED is blinking green, but the device isn't recognized by the Computer. It is also not shown in the device manager of Windows.

Pressing the powerkey for two minutes didn't worked.

Do you have any ideas how to recover this phone?

My device is a Sony Xperia XA2.

Galaxy Note 4 rom issue SM-N910F

Hey all,

I recently broke my main phone whilst carrying out a repair (Sidenote dont do repairs when your hungover)~

Anyway went back to using my note 4 and I couldent use my banking app because I had obviously at some point in the past rooted the phone.

So I embarked on a mission to unroot it which I was successful in.

But then I found a way I could have my phone rooted and use my banking app but it involved flashing the phone back to the stock rom entirely

I downloaded what I was sure was the stock rom for my phone and got to work with odin.

anyway the phone booted fine but whenever it tried to connect to the mobile network it rebooted itself.

Obviously not the stock rom

Ive since searched high and low for the stock rom flashed several on too the phone and yeah no joy

So right now I dont have a phone and im genuinly surprised at the impact that is having on my life lol.

So im hoping to get some help too find the stock rom for my phone

As says in the title its a samsung galaxy note 4 SM-N910F it was purchased in the united kingdom and the network is o2

Any help and advice would genuinly be apreciated.

Cheers.

I could use a bit of guidance in a direction...

Hello,

I buy a cell phone about once every 3-4 years. I like them to be last season's model so the price isn't too high, and most of all, I like to unlock and root them. This has become increasingly more difficult as the more time goes along there are less and less Verizon phones out there that I can root. Did I mention Verizon is the only network I can get coverage in my area? I actually use Page Plus.

Finally, my question:

I am in need of a new (new to me) phone for use on the Verizon network that I can unlock or root and make it do what I want. I have heard about the new kinds of rooting whereby you don't have to unlock the bootloader, but unfortunately I don't get involved in the process but as the aforementioned 3-4 year period. I am wondering if you could steer me towards any good Verizon prospects that can be readily rooted? I would appreciate it very much. A thousand thank you's in advance.

sdcard folder set not appearing in TWRP

I have just tried all day to root my phone (a Redmi Note 5), and have found myself stuck at the part where I'm supposed to either enter a password to decrypt TWRP (I already tried setting one for my phone itself, and TWRP doesn't recognize it) or try to access the folders that are supposed to appear under sdcard.

From what I gather, the following folders are supposed to appear under sdcard when I tap "Cancel" on the password screen and then "Install", and do appear under Internal storage memory when I hook my phone up to my computer:

-Alarms

-Android

-DCIM

-Download

-MIUI

-Movies

-Music

-Notifications

-Pictures

-Podcasts

-Ringtones

None of those appear for me under that folder, or any others within Internal storage.

Under internal storage also includes these folders, which I cannot access through my computer, and thus can't transfer files to:

-acct

-cache

-config

-cust

-data

-dev

-etc

-external_sd

-firmware

-license

Is there a way to recover the folders that are supposed to appear under sdcard?

Hi guys

I have a huge problem. I have a phone that the bootloader is in-eledgible to be unlocked. I would really like to be able to root my phone so my idea was to manually or programatically root it by some means.

Using termux i was once able to add my su binary to the /system/xbin directory but i cant remember how i was able to so. And yes i was unrooted at the time.

There has got to be some exploit i can use to deliver and modify the files. Can someone please help me

Hello,

I have Xiaomi redmi note 4 mido. Recently I was trying my luck with some custom ROMs (specifically aosp extended) which I succeeded but due to some problems while flashing I tried to update my twrp version from adb sideload, since I couldn't see any zip files in it. And now I can't boot into twrp, it says "system has been destroyed". I've tried reverting to stock rom and recovery then flashed twrp again but I still get the same error (stock recovery works just fine). Bootloader is unlocked and I can boot into bootloader, also phone works without any problem on stock rom(global version). Couldn't find any answers on web, other than how to get back to stock rom which is not my concern.

Any help is appreciated

AC40PO playing

>/Hello world!

I have an old archos 40 power with lolipop 5.1 that I don't use anymore.

Now I want to play with it, install twrp, xposed, magisk, termux, and clean everything that is not usefull on it. It's not a very fast phone...

I've made some searches on xda (and on www).

It seems that I have to compile twrp to suit my phone.

Or maybe a similar phone/OS can do the trick?

Can someone help me with this, I've read the compile twrp guide. I feel a bit lost with all flags to set up for AR40PO.

Thank you!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Duhjoker:
Well you could download the droid hardware app and look the exact hard like chipset and screen resolution and processor then do a google search with the header android devices that use my hardware and see which ones have a twrp already made. If your lucky you might find one of same brand. Either way when you do grab it then run over to xda again and read how to port twrp with out source code. If the twrp you find is of a higher android build i wouldnt worry to much since youll be swapping out its split image for yours. Just make note that mtk images are a lil different and need some extra attention

Have you been able to unlock the bootloader? With out that all your resrarch and work will be gor naught. And just because its older doesnt mean it will be easier.

With out that i couldnt flash with out using an lg flash program.

Help with temp root or unlocking for MTK/Huawei device needed.

I have a Huawei MediaPad T3_7 (BG2-W09) that I can't seem to unlock or get root access on. It is a secure boot device and can't get anything past SP Flash Tool without *.auth file or DA which I have not found anywhere. MT8127 chipset not vulnerable to mtk-su as it's 32-bit and the one clickers such as Kingoroot and all others I am aware of fail. DC-Phoenix used to flash with locked BL but new versions won't do it and can't run old version now without update to new version. I have a working TWRP for it that I ported for the device when they were unlockable through Huawei official site. I've owned quite a few of them but this is first one I haven't been able to do anything with. I own a SigmaKey Huawei Edition and they only have support for frp removal and can't unlock it or bypass security for flashing recovery. If I can find a way to get my recovery on it I'm good to go as it will flash a patched boot.img or install magisk.zip either one with locked bootloader. I had one running that way that I flashed recovery thru fastboot with dc-phoenix in the past. My thoughts are if I can get a temporary root shell I can dd the recovery from sdcard to the e-recovery partition and be good to go from there. Any ideas on unlocking or rooting this thing?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Duhjoker:
Have you tried the amazing new temp root thread. mt8127 is supported maybe they can help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tek3195:
Thanks, but mt8127 isn't supported as it is a 32-bit chip. According to diplomatic it will never be supported by mtk-su as the exploit he discovered is only on the 64-bit chips. I of course tried it anyway with the expected failure. Appreciate the thought but it won't work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Duhjoker:
Hmmm maybe if i could get my hands on his source i code i might be able to compile a 32bit version.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tek3195:
From what he told me the vulnerability that he found and mtk-su exploits isn't present in the 32-bit chipsets. I believe he looked into it, but if the vulnerability isn't there unfortunately there's nothing to work with. Damn, I never thought I would have this hard of a time with this thing. I've owned several+ of them back when unlock was possible from huawei. Have twrp ported for it and a stock aosp-like(no emui) rom with microG cooked in kitchen for it but can't get inside to install anything.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Duhjoker:
Well can you flash it via sp flash? Maybe Amonet could helP. i will look into your problen maybe a lil outside squaring of thought could free you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tek3195:
SP Flash Tool can't get past the secure boot without auth file. Same with all the tools I've tried, throws an error because its secure baseband and there are no DA or .auth files to be found.

You are right on the money with the amonet idea. I don't know how to edit or re-write it to flash just my recovery is where the problem comes in for me. I tried editing before to flash a preloader and failed miserably, luckily diplomatic edited the amonet script for the 7 inch fire with mt8127 for me and it worked for flashing just preloader.bin. I think it would work to flash recovery or a patched_boot.img. I have both of those .img's but I have more to learn on scripting and or editing.

Another thing that worked in the past was dc-phoenix. It would flash any img with fastboot bypassing security checks. It was dangerous but I knew my img was good. Now they crippled that and it will not let me run an older version that worked. Without updating it just force closes which doesn't make a lot of sense to me as they still have the older versions available to download, just can't use them. Any ideas on getting around updating to run old version ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Duhjoker:
both of us out of luck with the python script. I can write and play with c++ and java all day but python kills me. I need that script to just flash the preloader. I have an mt board thats bricked and lg and with out the auth no flashy flashy.

LG LS 665 Tribute 2 Hard bricked

Hi,

This is my first post on this forum.

While tinkering with my old LG LS665 (ZV8), I managed to hard brick the phone. Now the screen is completely blank and the phone does not go into Download phone.

It only shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (Com4) on my laptop.

I looked up many solutions and figured that I need to short the pins on its motherboard and run the BoardDiag and so forth.

Here's the problem:

The AP Chipset for my phone model does not show up on BoardDiag. Any help here would be appreciated.

If anyone can also help with the right pins that need to shorted on this phone and the way to do it.

Any other way that I've missed to sort out this mess would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tek3195:
If it is showing as 9008 mode there is no need to use test points. You are already in EDL. From what I can remember you can add or edit one of the device folders in BoardDiag with needed files for your device.

I have one or two problems with my Huawei P9 Lite. I want to flash it back to stock by force upgrade (that is using a certain folder named "dload" on the SD-card and Huawei's eRecovery). However, none of the original firmwares is being accepted as compatibel. So eRecovery stops with an incompatibility error message, or the phone just reboots back into Lineage.
