[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killabyte0:
hey guys long time reader first time poster

iv been a bit of a noob

i have here a customers phone that i fixed the screen on

after booting the phone up and checking it over i find that the wifi bluetooth and google play services are all in trouble and wont start

wifi is greyed out bluetooth switches itself off and google play services keep crashing

i assume the phone has recently got the lollipop update and that is whats causing the issues

i rooted the phone using skipsofts toolkit and all the recommended options twrp and so on phone rooted fine

done a bit of messing around with wifi files and stuff using guides online but none of this worked

then the brainstorm

try twrp recovery ... it may have answers

found what i thought was my answer

FIX PERMISSIONS .... ahh yes i thought ..... i permissions fault after the update ... whats the harm in trying anyway ??

thats when the phone become a nice soft brick

congratulations you have successfully entered bootloop mode

i know the bootloop has been caused by me clicking fix permissions on a perfectly working phone

the question is do any of you know how to reverse the fix permissions or revert to previous permissions ??

i know theres ways to recover the phone to a useable state but from what iv seen this means losing data

due to this being a customers phone and me being the idiot thats put it in a bootloop not her i dont want to lose a single user data byte !!

a big ask i know but if anyone can make miracles happen its the xda team u guys have saved my bacon more than once

should mention i had this same phone in about a month ago with another broken screen and wifi and bluetooth was working fine then

phone is sm-g900f

stock rom 5.0

build boa3

twrp 2.7.1.0 used

grabbed logcat info ( adb is enabled at samsung boot screen ... how lucky :) )
