I have recently installed xposed. enabled rootcloak and phone rebooted and worked fine. Installed some other modules along with android N-ify and after a soft reboot(which xposed installer poped up as a notification) system UI crashed and no homescreen and nothing at all. Just a menu when i long click power button.

Have booted into twrp and tried dalvik cache wipe and system is now rebooting with optimizing 175 apps. What should be done now to restore system UI. Help will be greatly appreciated :) as i need to use the phone real quick without data loss.

Thanks once again.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] kb3wmh:
Somewhere along the line, an update broke this app for me too. This is from the N-ify forum:

Boot into TWRP, mount system as R/W, then delete the folder /data/app/tk.wasdennoch.androidn_ify Reboot the phone and you should be good to go. It worked for me.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank g:
This is better than what i have tried (https://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-lollipop-stuck-bootloop-t3055816). Will try this the next time it happens.

try battery recalibration

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

try a battery re-calibration
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] territoriovs:
Hi there,

I have a problem like yours. But, I lose signal from carrier between 40 and 50 percent of battery and then my note4 shutdown. When It restarts I have 0% battery.

If I pull out the battery, wait a few minutes then put it back and power on the device, I will find that I have like a 30% percent of battery. But It will drop quickly.

I continuously do a battery recalibration using *#0228* on dial pad with no fix. I have already replace the battery with a new one. Same results.

Some body told me it was a problem with my logical board. Does any one knows how can I make test to this logical board?

If you have another tip I will apreciate your comments.

TIA

Seems like the only recovery is see in TWRP is for the edge or international versions of the model, so I'm having a hard time adding a recovery. Can anyone help??? I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
No...the phone just got root and the bootloader is really locked down. No one saw us getting root, so who knows what can happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Illogi.xbone:
IF we get anything it will most likely be safestrap. So no AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
Use FlashFire!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Senior209:
Are there any Roms or Custom recoveries compatible with this specific model number? Doesn't seem like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Senior209:
That sucks.. I guess I'll just stay optimistic in the mean time. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
FlashFire is the compatible recovery. There are two ROMs for the Verizon S7 Edge. http://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/development I have personally verified that the PlayStore ROM posted for the Edge will work on the S7 flat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
I should mention that you need to be on the U firmware prior to flashing those ROMs. The ROM also installs the G935 engineering kernel, so you need to flash the G930 boot kernel with Odin afterwards. I can make a write-up later if there is any interest.

I can even modify his ROM with the correct build.prop and kernel for the G930V.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Illogi.xbone:
How's the stability and finctionality?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] deeje00:
A guide would be awesome. How do I get it up and running lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] torr310:
Sounds interesting, don't know if the different firmware/kernel would run better on our Verizon variant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
I'll see if I can make one later this evening.

If you intend to root it, then you still need to use the same engineering kernel. I will say that before I rooted the U-firmware, the phone was much smoother and faster in stock form than the stock Verizon firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] MrBaltazar:
Does flashing the engineering kernel unlock more LTE bands by chance? Band 12 to be specific..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Illogi.xbone:
Not just the kernel alone. Flash the U firmware and you will be able to select any band, as long as the radio is in the phone for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] MrBaltazar:
Thanks. Is it the G930U or G935U firmware that's needed? I'm guessing the Edge U firmware is what you're speaking of.. is it a simple flash? I'm running PE1 rooted at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Illogi.xbone:
930u for flat 935u for edge. Just flash entire image over. Shouldn't need root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] MrBaltazar:
OK I just accessed service mode on the PE1 firmware.. no Band 12 or 17 option. I'll flash the 930U firmware and attempt again to see if there's a difference at all.

Also, is rooting the 930U firmware the same as the PE1 firmware process?

Sorry for hijacking this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] MrBaltazar:
I flashed the G930U firmware and was able to receive Band 17 successfully. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction with the U firmware!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jhr:
Did you flash the 930U firmware on a flat S7 or edge Verizon variant device. I have a rooted Verizon device and using it on T-Mobile.

Version 6.0.1 July patch.

Can you pm or reply here on how you managed thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Thebigestbird:
G930v custom recovery pass dm verity

Can someone point me in the direction of a thread to install custom recovery on the Verizon varient S7? Say hypothetically I could pass the dm-verity check.

How would I go about implementing the pass to install a custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
There still is no custom recovery.. The only method for "flashing" a rom is with an already rooted phone and flashfire. And that excludes boot.img (for which we have one old leaked eng boot image that allows root). Until Samsung or Qualcomm decides to unlock the bootloader this situation is going to remain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
TLDR we basically can't run custom boot images on this hardware variant ever, until Samsung or Qualcomm decides differently. So you can root via an old eng boot image and flash some custom roms without boot changes, or you can stay stock and go with any firmware variant for CDMA snapdragon. Neither will allow TWRP or custom roms on the AOSP based level (such as Lineage)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Sam Sung:
Does that apply to all current & 'in the pipe' Samsung phones for U.S. distribution?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
Anything snapdragon based in the US yes

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
that means that you must not have give adb shell root access before booting into fastboot mode and so you cant unlock the bootloader. run the script again and this time make sure you have root access and adb debugging working on the device

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] cmart0125:
How do I run without admin rights?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
That isn't a admin rights problem just a not granting root to adb shell problem
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] TerryS2K:
I received the same error last night and I ensured I granted root access to ADB Shell.

I gave up on unlocking the bootloader.

Out of habit I always run cmd prompts and batch files as admin, I'll try again tonight when I get home from work and see if it is able to unlock without running as admin. That would be strange if it does.

Thanks for all your great work!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] cmart0125:
Well I ran it the same way and the third time it worked, but how do I confirm my bootloader is unlocked.

Thank you for the script.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
Well you can reboot to fastboot and run command fastboot getvar all you should see the it is unlocked.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] cmart0125:
Thanks for all your help with the blu r1 hd I really do appreciate it. You mentioned the moto g from amazon, do you know if the bootloader is still unlockable for the moto g4.

Is there any way to keep userdata through either restoring a backup of JUST userdata or something? It'd just be a little easier to do that than have to reconfigure all of my stuff for a 3rd time.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
yes backup user data in twrp if you followed my video you did that. then one you have unlocked the bootloader and booted up just reboot to TWRP and restore it
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] TerryS2K:
I tried it again tonight without admin rights and with admin and it's still not working for me. I've attached some pictures. Any ideas?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
its like you dont have a sdcard lol the file isnt being pushed to your sdcard for some reason. you can manaully copy the unlock.img to your sdcard then run the script again
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] bibikalka:
[MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION]

I really liked the idea to copy unlock.img into frp partition, and then use fastboot to get into TWRP, kind of along these lines :

http://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/development/r1-hd-amazon-bootloader-unlock-method-t3426104

Then follow up with "fastboot boot twrp.img"

Once you have the scatter file which is fully quality assured, can you add it to your unlock package ? You'd also need a script that start assuming that frp partition already has unlock.img in it. It's a lot more elegant to unlock the bootloader the very first thing, and then continue with the rest!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
I have already package the unlock.img with a scatter for sp flash tool. you can find it on my site rootjunkysdl.com linked in the OP

Haha yea it's strange.

I did try to move the file over to the root directory and also the "download" folder and run the batch file but it still failed.

Not sure why it doesn't want to work for me. The phone works just fine.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
try method 2 in the OP i just added it
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] xeper:
Dumb question time. If I'm already rooted, what benefit does unlocking the bootloader give me?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Umeaboy:
It allows you to flash custom recoveries and custom kernels.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] xeper:
If I already have TWRP installed, would it be of any benefit?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Umeaboy:
Well, then you have root access so you should be unlocked then.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] TerryS2K:
I thought method 2 would work for me but it didn't. Same error :(

I don't know what the heck is going on. I guess I may have to just use it as is. I was hoping to be able to install custom roms in the future though.

Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve that might work for me?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] triggerlord:
OMG, he just told you why. Lol. TWRP (most of the time) can't install a ROM or new kernels without an unlocked bootloader.

Root access is not the same thing as an unlocked bootloader.

Get over yourself.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] jlvlawrence:
I can't seem to get the pre loader drivers to install. I have a really crappy windows 7 machine that pretty slow. It keeps telling me the device was unplugged when they try and install. It's there somewhere that I can download them?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] triggerlord:
I wasn't even trying to be mean about it. You just took it that way, but maybe you should read before asking a question that was just answered in the post you quoted.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] TerryS2K:
So I was ended up loading the scatter file again and was able to successfully get it unlocked using method 2!!

But...

now it's in a bootloop :(

What do I do to get out of it?

Tried booting into recovery but it just goes back to the bootloop.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
Note: if you have twrp recovery install and unlock your bootloader with METHOD 2 the device will try and boot to recovery and wipe data which will fail because you and twrp installed.

The only way to fix this is to boot to fastboot mode and run this command

Code:

fastboot format userdata

then just reboot out of fastboot mode and the device will boot up.

Code:

fastboot reboot

Need help with these commands check out this video jump ahead to 6min 45sec to see commands above
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] TerryS2K:
Thank you so much for your help!!

I was trying to boot into TWRP to wipe data but it was still in that bootloop, I figured that's what needed to be done.

I didn't know the commands to do it in fastboot.

That worked like a charm, much appreciated :)
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Yianaki:
I somehow corrupted fastboot. Through spflash I got recovery and root working fine but fastboot when selected at boot menu just says entering fastboot. Then none of the fastboot commands work. I tried using the spflash method to unlock the bootloader after I had recovery. It was successful but after that fastboot hasn't worked. I tried every bootloader unlock method here on XDA but they all fail when it reboots to fastboot. Adb works in the rom when the scripts reboot to fastboot they just sit there.

I tired a spflash backup to get back to a normal locked device and that didn't fix it. I also backed up system and boot, restoring them didn't help.

Can anyone help me understand what happened and how to fix it.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
that just sounds like youe fastboot drivers arent installed for some reason. try a different usb cable or port on your computer
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] wunderdrug:
Just a little note for those who are following these videos: if you are backing up to an SD card using TWRP (as described in the rooting video), do not do what I did and format the SD card as "Internal Storage". Format it as "Portable" instead.

This is because after the you go to the next step and unlock the bootloader, the device gets wiped (factory reset), deleting the keys needed to decrypt the "Internal Storage" SD card. Without the decryption key, you will not be able to read that SD again -- you've essentially lost your backup.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
yes that is a great point thanks
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Yianaki:
Appreciate the quick response. Yep I didn't have Fastboot drivers installed. I thought they would have installed along with the Mediatech drivers. Also ADB in Android worked so I thought i had a problem. I don't remember fastboot ever looking like that on phone going back to my OG Droid. Blue seems to do everything cheap.

I don't mean to get too far off topic but [MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION] will this unlock.IMG method work to unlock the bootloader in fire 7" ?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yossijoe:
Why should it??

Its a totally different device
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ericpeacock79:
a more constructive answer would be: boot images are different for each device.

in general, no image compiled for one device would work for a totally different device.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
I don't mean " will this IMG work" I just mean whatever he did with the IMG , would the method work on the 7"
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
nope the amazon fire 5th gen 7in doesnt even have the fastboot oem unlock option in its bootloader or a FRP partition so this trick will not work for that device.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
i guess i could make a system.img that deletes like everything amazon and makes the device bare boons

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] kal250:
Once rooted,i used system app remover(root) and manually removed the bloat(it backs up apks in case you want to restore). Once I get where I want to be I do a nandroid bu. Only amazon app i kept was shopping(underground i think). Then i get rid of the google stuff i never use. But I honestly think this phone could fetch a higher price. I love it. And for those who think I'm cheating Amazon, the ad revenue they generate should qualify everybody for a free phone, lol
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] kal250:
Another question, lol. So I figured it would happen and not really concerned but once bootloader gets unlocked it flips warranty status to no, im sure even relocking keeps warranty void flag. So the question,if a warranty issue did occur, do they actually check the status of this phone? It's a prime variant so im not even sure who i return it to, BLU or amazon? Anyhow I'm sure Amazon would just eat it and ship a new one, but if BLU handles claims I'm sure I'm buying a new phone. I wonder if I could get Prime pricing again :p
