[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hortstu:
Yes this post is correctly dated. I've had this device a LOOOONNNGGG time.

The device has been rooted since shortly after I bought it new years ago. I've had very few problems since... which is why it's never been replaced.

I believe I have the stock ROM, sorry it's been a while.

When I start the device it gets stuck at the splash screen with the sprint logo.

I can get the device to "download mode" but I don't know what to do once there and I'm not sure I can do anything from here.

I can get the device to "android system recovery."

I know I installed TWRP when I rooted and installed the rooted ROM but when I boot to recovery it doesn't go there.

I've wiped the "cache partition" but the problem remained. I'm not sure what else to do from here and still be able to salvage data.

I'm trying to salvage the data on the internal storage. I'm pretty sure I could successfully "wipe data/ factory reset" and get it to "function" again but that's not the priority. I'm going to replace it regardless of success or failure. Data recovery is the priority here. (pictures and videos of my young children as well as less important stuff like contacts.)

I have an old laptop with an old version of ubuntu I can use or a newer one with windows 7 to work with. I mention this in case it makes this easier to help?

Thank you very much if you try to take a stab at this or refer someone that might!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hortstu:
Update:

So I managed to install TWRP via Odin.

I booted to this recovery and my data partition appears to be empty?

When I try to back up I get the error message "unable to mount '/data'"

I tried doing a wipe, not one of the fancy extra options ones just the regular wipe and it failed.

Any guidance will be extremely appreciated.

Edit:

So I've come to the conclusion that the data isn't accessible because of encryption and my pass code. Is there any way to enter it via recovery and access this info?

Is anybody out there?

Edit 2:

I hope this helps someone someday. I haven't solved the problem but I think I'm making progress.

First I had an old version of TWRP. I installed the latest for my device and tried backing up again. I'm not sure but I think it's working. TWRP dosen't seem to need my password for the backup. I imagine I'll just need it to access the data later.

Edit 3:

No sooner did I save the last edit and my backup failed.

Process ended with error : 255

I flased custom rom, twrp recovery. (unlocked, s-on)

I tried to flash stock rom with twrp recovery but failed.

I think s-off is first what I have to do.

Sunshine said " Flash the stock rom or near stock rom."

How to solve this??
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
S-off is not what you must do. I think you need to understand first what certain things do.

A stock HTC rom is not offered to be flashed with TWRP so that can't be done anyway, a stock HTC backup can be restored via TWRP but that's totally different from flashing it.

Custom roms are designed to flash with TWRP. Stock HTC images come as RUU files which are flashed via the download mode.

My 2 cents :

Flash leedroid and select magisk as root option. The installer does all the work and you are free from bloatware at the same time. Stock oreo rom is nice but won't be updated by HTC anyway so why not profit the things a custom rom offers you

Hey guys, I'm currently using Revolution OS (MIUI 10 based ROM).

I'm planning on flashing Havoc OS.

I know I have to wipe

- Dalvik / ART Cache

Should I also wipe "Vendor" or not ?

Hi guys I try to install exposed framework for Redmi 3s prime through twrp recovery and after that the phone is not starting stuck on mi logo please help!!!!!
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] amrish85741:
Don't worry it will be solved. But please note for redmi 3s prime it is creating lot of issue, so better avoid it. I tried a lot but helpless. Instead I am using magisk modules

Now, how to solve this

If stuck at MIUI logo then follow below steps

1. Download fastboot rom of 9.6.1.0 of redmi 3s

2. RUN mini flasher v2.2

3. Click first option FLASH FASTBOOT ROM and give path to Fastboot room. REMEMBER, we have to extract fastboot rom which would be in TAR format.

You can easily find link to fastboot rom and mini flasher on miui forum

Done.

I also purchased 4 credits from dc-unlocker but for some unknown reason they refunded the payment and so not able to read the bootloader code.

Thanks for any comments!
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Yes the first line says "phone locked"

That is bootloader.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] rexian:
Thanks, was expecting it but wasn't sure which one indicated it. Considering I am still on 5.1 / 7.0 and Feb security patch, would dc-unlocker with a 4 credits be able to read the code? Or it wouldn't help (even if it can read) in unlocking since "oem" commands are not being allowed?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Well only certain oem commands not work while phone locked.

I can't say why it did not give you a code. Maybe you missed a step on process.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] rexian:
All I did was put the phone in fastboot mode and connected to the PC. Before that I did enable OEM unlock in developer options but not sure if it had any effect on fastboot.

"fastboot devices" listed the device but none of the oem commands like "device-info" or "get-imei1" work (remote: Command not allowed). The bootloader code didn't work probably because dc-unlocker refunded me the money ($4.80) for some unknown reason and no credits available. When the bootloader read didn't work from HCU, I didn't notice the credit issue and was wondering whether I needed 15 credits (needed for the newer phones). Do you think 4 credits would do for my phone?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] rexian:
Just an update - I was able to unlock the bootloader with 4 credits following Wh1t3Rose guide. Dc-unlocker refunded the credits first time and that caused bootloder read to fail. Now have to get AT&T bands added, if possible... will start a new thread.

i like MIUI 10 eu, they dont change system UI like other MIUI based roms,, its faster and smoother than stock MIUI and it has unlocked features from other regions, i tried revolution os and one other and they both mess with system UI elements which doesnt look so good at all, but if you want many customization options, than you can try revolution os, from others i tried, AOSP 8.1 based is best AOSiP, Pie based roms are not ready for daily usage for me, google didnt even finished developement on android 9 and has some bugs, but if you would like then Pixel Experience is way to go
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] cvixel:
Try reinstalling the drivers and using a different USB cord. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] htchd2sucks:
Pixel Experience also seems the best Android PIE (9) based rom at the moment.

LineageOS16 is dead, or going nowhere lack of devs.

Someone shown me a site to customize MIUI rom and remove all unwanted things like ads, etc... If you want MIUI that's seems good.

Anyway, I prefer AOSP based so PixelExperience.

Note: it's also not moving very fast, even if it's probably the most advance rom at the moment.

I got a bunch of screen checker apps and they all say the resolution is 1440 so I'm not sure what's up... the 's pen doesn't work rather which usually means that it's knockoff... but on the inside it still has that copper layer behind the screen that is for the s pen... also the cables and chip connected to the screen are identical to my regular not 4....it does not look fake...is there any chance that this is some software glitch or the plugs are dirty or something or does it seem like I got a knockoff screen. ..the whole phone looked brand new just hard to believe it's fake especially since all the markings and hardware seemed idental on both phones...I'm so confused.. plz halp meh...

For those with Umidigi One / One Pro or Z2

0. Install twrp from first link

1. now we need to edit the fstab file

because its a MTK device your fstab file looks like fstab.mt6763 or simliar

2. Download Mixplorer from XDA Thread. ( this root explorer is the best because it set permission automaticly.)

3. open mixplorer and browse to root/system/vendor/etc/fstab.mt6763..

4 open that file and search for ( should be line 15)

5. edit the file to this

6.save and turn off the phone
