Not the exact same problem as yours, but I found that I wasn't able to boot into the OS after flashing Magisk 16.7. It would get to the animated "G" loading screen, but then reboot automatically and go into TWRP. Currently reflashing the stock (without wipe) and trying again.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] post-mortem:
Try installing the Magisk Uninstaller, then rebooting into system. If that doesn't work, you can use fastboot to install the boot.img file taken from the full factory image. If you already have it ready to go, it's faster than a full reinstall of the OS.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Butch1326:
For me it did not take long for the Pixel to start after boot. Maybe a minute or two. It did take 5-10 minutes to run the Pie update.

Maybe it was because I originally installed Magisk 16 before going to version 16.7.

I agree with

post-mortem

's suggestion. It will be easier for you to reinstall Magisk before reinstalling the OS.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] SkinnyT:
I've been starting out by flashing the factory image with adb. Then once it boots I can fastboot the twrp.img and get twrp into the recovery slot with no issues. I didn't get a chance today, but tomorrow I'll try with Magisk again.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] daver68:
I did end up doing that, though I don't know if this itself solved my problem. I'll explain more below

I ended up fixing my problem. After posting this, I repeated my exact steps a few more times to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong.

1. boot into bootloader

2. fastboot factory image (without -w)

3. boot into stock Pie

4. fastboot boot twrp 3.2.2.0 image

5. install twrp 3.2.2.0 zip

6. reboot into recovery

7. flash Magisk 16.7

8. reboot into Pie

These steps didn't work, and I would always get into a bootloop that takes me straight to recovery

What I ended up doing that fixed my problem was the following

1. boot into bootloader

2. fastboot factory image (without -w)

3. boot into stock Pie

4. fastboot boot twrp 3.2.2.0 image

5. install twrp 3.2.2.0 zip

6. reboot into recovery

7. flash Magisk uninstaller

8. reboot recovery

9. flash Magisk 16.6

10. set boot partition to B

11. reboot into rooted Pie

Specifically, I used the Magisk Uninstaller, used an "older" version of Magisk (16.6, not the later 16.7), and I also changed my boot partition from A to B after flashing Magisk. This worked for me, and until I know specifically why, I'm going to just re-use this procedure on the next factory image update.

Hopefully this can help someone else having the same problem!

Does your HU have multiple USB ports? I had a similar issue where my HU was soft bricked/was boot looping.

I connected a USB keyboard to my HU USB2 and was able to get in to recovery using Alt + Print Screen + tapping i (or e, both keys work).

In recovery you don't get a normal recovery menu like most Android phones, but instead it searches for a firmware file/s?

Inserting a USB (formatted as FAT32) with the firmware files on the root, and going in to the recovery menu using the above method forced my HU to update/flash the firmware files, and I finally have a working HU after nearly 4 months... :D

Hopefully some part of this helps you to recover your HU

Hi MADNESSSsss I have trawled the Internet to find a solution to my problem and yours is the closet I have seen to my problem however I have a USB keyboard plug in to my USB and the key combination does not get me in to recovery. I have had a bricked unit for 3 months with no luck. The supplier sent me a new recovery zip file but supplied me no info on how to reset it. Does the zip file need to be copied to the USB thumb drive. Or do I extract the files. My device boots up then goes to an android screen and stays there. If you could help in any way.

Hi guys,

As the title suggest i'm having trouble updating my phone & can't find threads directly relating to the issue i seem to be having.

When i try to update through the phone i get a message that states "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way."

I do as the message suggest which asks me to update through kies but then kies makes me download the new app which says my phone is up to date even though i'm on 4.4.4.

As for the state of my phone, i bought it about a month ago sealed new, it's still stock & I've done nothing to it & tested to see if it's routed just in case & it seems not to be.

i'll list all the details to help any kind soul who wishes to help:

Model number - SM-G900f

Baseband version - G900FXXU1ANK3

Kernel version - 3.10.0-2413392 - dpi@SWDD5807 #1 - Fri Nov 14 22:19:34 KST 2014

Build number - KTU84P.G900FXXU1ANK3

Thanks for any help in adavance, if you need more information from me please let me know!

Download the latest version of the firmware for your device

Here's the UK version

https://rapidgator.net/file/2220550....galaxys5update.com/galaxy-s5-stock-firmware/

Download odin

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4431597&d=1519662712

Download and install the Samsung USB drivers if you haven't already done so

Put your phone into download mode (hold power button Vol down & home button)

Connect phone to PC via USB

Press Vol up to start connection

Open odin

In the AP section add the firmware tar (Unzip download to get tar image)

Press start

Once it's flashed & your phone has restarted (it may not fully boot but it doesn't matter) go to recovery mode (hold power button Vol up & home button) and do a data wipe/factory reset

Now your phone will fully boot
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakmon:
Thanks for the help!

do you know why it has to be done through Odin & it won't download by itself?

also do you have another link, this one is supremely slow & is there any way to keep the data that's currently on my phone?

Thanks again btw!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Most of the links you will find are really slow unless someone has uploaded it to their personal file storage & shared link

I would always advise to factory reset/wipe data after flashing firmware through odin

If you are rooted you can use titanium backup to backup app data but really most apps you don't need to

Things like contacts should be synced to your Gmail account but you can use an app to backup contacts & sms messages - just make sure you save the file to your pc or first & transfer it back & restore it after wipe

WhatsApp has its own backup via Google drive if you enable it

Anything else on internal storage (pictures music documents etc) just copy to pc
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakmon:
Hey there, quick update!

When i try & parse the update through Odin the process fails?

I noticed in download mode the "system status" is set to "custom" & when i checked into this, when my phone is on in the settings option in about phone my system status is "official".

could this be why it's failing? if so, any ideas how to fix this?

other maybe useful info is when it fails it says "system check fail : aboot" not sure if that gives any more info?

Also in download mode my phone thinks it's a SM-G901F?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
The system check will fail if you are trying to flash the wrong firmware

The sm g901f is the galaxy s5 plus so get that firmware for your country

If your device is actually something different get the correct firmware & the correct corresponding pit file & flash both with reparation device ticked
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakmon:
on my phone it's listed as a SM-G900F, this is the first reference I've ever seen to SM-G901F.

Is this not rather odd that my phone thinks it's an SM-G900F?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Not if you flashed a custom rom for a different variant

Anything displayed in about phone is mainly just displaying what is written in the build.prop of the rom/kernel/baseband you are using

Look in the area under where the battery sits - it will tell you what your device is

My guess is that if download mode displays your device as a g901f then that is what it is
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakmon:
Sticker under the battery lists it as a SM-G900F, mobile is stock new & i bought it about a month or two ago. Not rooted or modified in anyway (at least by me).

I bought it thinking it was an SM-G900f, interesting that it may not be....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
It's more likely then that incorrect firmware was flashed on it in the past

Find the correct 900f firmware with pit file & flash it with reparation ticked
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakmon:
so is the sticker on the back the correct Model i should be targeting or is the download mode version my actual model?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Highly unlikely the sticker has been altered

More likely someone flashed incorrect firmware on device

Find correct firmware (what the device actually is) and pit file (pit file must correspond to firmware) & tick reparation device

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Flashing pit files will reparation your device - although odin shouldn't do if it is the wrong files as with anything there's always a risk

Usually you wouldn't flash pit files as there's no need but as your phone isn't accepting firmware you may have to

If the above firmware doesn't work you can always try the 901f firmware (without the pit & don't tick repartition) it will only flash it if it passes verification test so no harm in trying
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakmon:

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
It's Mate 20 (early beta) firmware. Sadly System is not extractable, so can't explore much. It has 2 system, one contains the folder structure for everything, but only 'app' and 'framework' in system. The other can be unpacked, but I'm guessing it's encrypted. It's only 500mb but 4.x GB unpacked and can't be mounted.

Interesting though, they have unified custs, so it's all included in the same update. And ramdisk/boot is now part of /system rather than its own ramdisk partition.

Do not flash this, you will likely brick badly :P

- Change emojis to look normal

Hi everybody,

This is my first post. This forum has been very helpful with issues with all the smartphones I've had in the past, so I'm throwing in this piece of information that might help someone with the same issue I had with my T-Mobile Wing/ HTC S730 (same as the Hermes).

PROBLEM: touchscreen is not responding and after a hard reset (recommended by T-Mobile not so saavy techs) I got stucked in the "TAP THE SCREEN TO SETUP YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE" and since there is no "ESCAPE" button to skip this screen, I had a pretty much useless phone, I could only receive calls but not able to place any calls or have access to the start menu or any other function pretty much.

SOLUTION: after hours searching all over the internet, I found a very nice - FREE! - application designed for blind people to "SKIP" the align process, http://www.codefactory.es/en/ by CodeFactory. The application is called "REMOTE SCREEN ALIGNMENT" it is very easy and a quick way to skip the screen alignment process.

CONCLUSION: although it will not fix the unresponsive touch screen, it will at least let you access your phone through the buttons and slide out keyboard.

P.S.: there are many other tools and free apps there for a lot other phones.

ENJOY!

Had a similar problem, though was on WinMo 6.5 (Anryl's 21725 for Kaiser).

Unfortunately, this solution does not seem to work on 6.5- everytime the RSA executed successfully, and the phone restarted, but went back to the "Tap to setup device screen".

Went back to stock HTC 6.1 ROM, and the RSA works fine, and was able to start using the phone again.
