I had installed the xposed module for the Android L navi bar. After I installed rebooted etc. I entered the apps UI and it instructed me to add an extra line to the build prop (qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0). So I went into a file explorer and tried to edit it; no dice, it wouldn't let me do a thing (Should have taken that as a sign right?!?). So I tried another app, but this time it allowed me to edit but not save. Meh, tough luck right? Not too soon afterwards I uninstalled the module and all that good stuff and rebooted because I have OCD like that. All that did was bring me to where I am now with a soft bricked (?) phone. I can turn the phone on, the "LG" screen shows but after that it's just black. All the while the front LED is flashing from green to blue like it's starting normally. I can get to the "volume key to end call etc" menu before it boots and I can even get to the Hard Reset screen and execute said hard reboot but that's not bringing my flex back to life either for some reason. If I can get into Download Mode I'll have a good chance of getting it up and running but that won't even work. I know it was a pain getting to Download Mode the last time I downgraded but now it seems impossible. I've tried the "shut down, hold volume up button and plug in USB" method and I've tried the "hold volume up and power button while plugged in method" the former being the one that worked for me in the past. I'm super flustered/tired and probably missed a few details so if anyone can help and needs more information, don't be afraid to ask/demand, any help is appreciated.
BTW I have done my fair share of searching and to no avail, I'm not afraid of research but I am afraid of you guys bashing me for not doing so. So just know I tried. These threads would be what I need but I can't utilize either until I get to Download Mode.

I tried that... maybe I did it wrong but all is well anyway, I used my jump to get the G3. If a moderator would close this thread, I'd appreciate it.

I am stuck on the G1 boot screen. this is the same part, but I've tried home+power, camera+power, vol down+power, call+power and any other combination.
Only when I hold the action(mouse like button)+power I can see blue led is on
please help on that
Hmmm try plug the phone into the computer and keep trying different combinations until you get FASTBOOT USB in red at the top left of the g1 screen
I'm not exactly sure how to get into this but I know I've got into it a few times when it was plugged in
Please tell us if you get it
I was trying to update spl or radio I dont remember which one cause this. I will keep trying.

Well you bricked when it got stuck on the boot screen
If it got stuck that means you flashed the wrong spl/radio

You can get into fastboot mode by pressing POWER + CAMERA and plug in your phone with USB. I was so dumb enough that my brother almost cried when i not even soft-brickes his phone, after one friggin' year of research, i saw that i just need to flash another ROM. If that doesn't work, then I am sorry, your phone is bricked. If you can remember what radio/spl-combo you flashed, i can do more research.
Or do you even know what ROM you flashed????

Well there you have it, mostly, it has to reboot and get stuck on the splash screen, then it reboots into recovery. That may be the cause of your brick. Another problem is, that all those guides are not so exact at telling their readers what to do. Next time you're following a guide, just look at the maker of the thread if he's at least a senior member.
Hey, my HTC One can't Start and when i try to load it, only the red light appears every 2 seconds.
The System is original without root or something Else.
It is possible to come in the bootmenue with Power and volume down Button.
The warranty(garanty) is Not anymore.
So what can i do? Please help me
If you can go into recovery mode wipe everything (incl. cache/date/dalvik's cache)

Leave it charging for a while and then try again
I leave it charging but always every 2 seconds the red light appears and i think that is wrong too,or?
Doesnt work with long charging.
Yes i cant go in recovery because of stock Rom.
If your phone is fully stock, this sounds like a hardware fault. But you might run the RUU for your device, if there is one.
Ahh now i See that the Display is coming out of the phone a little Bit i realised it since now. Seems like that the glue is Not working anymore. What can i Do?
I can get into recovery , and I can get fastboot devices to recognize the phone, but no luck with ADB devices... Like an idiot, I transferred my twrp backup to my google drive temporarily to make space for some other things I had going on. even when I try to power on I get the 'Warning - Bootloader unlocked' message but after that, black screen. The strange thing is, after a few minutes, the phone let off a few vibes like it was notifying me of something.
This started because I was trying to disable Xblast tools & Xposed, but I wanted to go ahead and replace my build.prop that I had made a back up of... Just seemed like the right thing to do at the time. But when I set the permissions, the phone just cut off on me. I've tried the xposed disabler zip from recovery but its giving me no luck. What I'd like to do is to push my backup or even another stock rom, ( I'm on Sprint,) over to the phone, wipe the system and install cm orthe stock sprint rom for 4.4.2 that I've downloaded to the pc. But can this be done via fastboot? TWRP recovery offers that sideload option but I'm not familiar with it.
I've also toyed with idea to factory reset via recovery but I'm not sure how thats gonna work cuz whats it gonna recover TO, ya know?
Man, I am loooooost, loooooooooooooooost, LOST! lol (DONT LAUGH IT AINT FUNNY!)
Seriously, I need some help guys n gals, whatcha got for me...
ANY and ALL info is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
If fast boot won't flash stock firmware, you may need to try rsdlite.
Make sure its 4.4.2 your flashing. Going backwards would be bad.

For fastboot method, see this guide under return to stock.

If that doesn't work, try rsdlite. There's a thread for it in development.
Good luck!!
ok guys, so here's the story... it happen yesterday, as anyday i woke at the sound of my alarm(bodies-drowning pool)... now i wanna listen to the song while I write this; well, anyways... everything was fiiiiiiiiiiiiine, phone looked as good as always, got ready to school, then at chemistry class when i wanted to check the time... phones dead, first thought, battery dead right?... nope! a friend of mine got another golden , and nein... still not working with her battery, tried mine in her phone... it worked great; also forgot to say that it did not enter to recovery neither download mode, not even vibrates when the power button was pressed... so i think did my teacher bored 2 dead my phone?... ok ok, jokes apart... the problem is, after I discharge the phone reactive elements, it finally give me a glimpse of hope, it started, samsung letters with model number-breath away... waiting still-and again the ****ing letters, yeah it got into a bootloop, turns out is not the common ones... tried everything i can found on internet (first pages of google, search on xda... list goes on) nothing works... tried:
Using Odin(only download mode works)
flashing couple of bootloaders
flashing param+wipe
flashing param+wipe+stock rom
PD: if i try to enter to recovery mode, it shows TWRP image before the menu comes up, then goes to bootloop again.
PD2: Also when i hit power it shows the samsung letters with the return and menu blinking about 4-5 times, everytime I try to start the phone, then it goes to bootloop again... and so until it drains the battery.
PD3: Almost forgot, when i try to flash the stock rom, i get "movi_write card_status 2" and blk goes as far as 682k if it matters.
Willing to try anything all in the name of science of course ... if nothing happes im gonna tear it appart and salvaje everything my new rover may need a couple of thingies later on...
Little help will be appreciated
You can try conecting another USB cable on the back USB ports of the PC, also try to flash with an authentic stock firmware, you can get your exact phone firmware from Sammobile.com
Found a solution?
Yesterday I was recording when suddenly my cell phone went off and I was the same that you * Sorry for the English * :crying:
*aospa 4.4.4 was installed*

Have you tried flashing a fresh and perhaps newer version of TWRP?
What were the results of your attempts to flash the above? I understand that you still can't get it to boot to device or recovery modes, but does Odin report success?
Have you tried using fastboot to boot it into recovery mode? (You'll probably get the same TWRP bootloop, but worth a crack.)
---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------
...and have you tried re-rooting the phone using one of the one-touch applications (e.g. Kingoroot)? I don't know what state they need the phone to be in to work, but it might help in getting a usable ROM onto the phone if it works.
Disclaimer: I'm no expert - still haven't managed to get a working custom onto mine yet.

Sorry I don't have time to help you work through this. But you're not bricked. Do the process again. Try switching up your usb ports and cables. Try clicking the bootloader check and try loading the csc file when you flash everything. And hold the buttons longer than you think you should to return to download mode. Galaxy Note 8 screen is normal. You are likely already rooted and can get away with only redoing the second part.

You've tried all these things? You've restarted your phone? It seems you are really pretty close and could just power through. But I don't see any reason you can't return to stock. That may take you longer if you don't have the file and if you don't know how to get back.

Thats what i did.
1rst. Flash system tar. + Pit
I wait, until the process says FAILED.
After this failed message my phone just stuck on Download mode and dont restart by itself. I decide to use combo to power it off and turn it on again into download mode.
2nd.
I place the other 3 files in odin And flash it, following the steps from Samfail thread.
Reboot and get stuck on this screen now what can be ?

I would Odin back to stock and start over. When it happened to me I had to use regular Odin to flash it. And then I started over and got it to work.

Thanks for the info, ill give it a go and report back.
Still trying to flash rev2.5 maybe thats where i went wrong? Its too late now. I can only get into upload and download mode. Trying to flash stock but having fail issues in reg odin and comsy. Im actually so lost now that I dont even know what to flash. Bricked? Anyone have any ideas? Ive tried everything i have seen on this thread and others with no luck. My phone displays all of the same pictures as in page 1. Im have ATT if that helps.
Thanks and sorry if i misread something to get to where i am now. Ive been doing different root methods since i had a droid x. Never had this issue before when flashing with odin. Ive always worked my way out. Maybe i need a break.....

now, after trying to get back into download mode and the samsung logo popped up and was flashing from light to dark. after about 5 minutes it said "android is starting", a few minutes later it went to a charging screen. now i cant get anywhere... lol..
battery died
Charge the phone leave it in charger.
Get into download mode and flash your stock image with Prince comsy Odin with the data bootflag and the bootloader flag ticket, you can do this by adding a 1 in the .ini file. Flash the stock image and then reboot
Then if you want try to flash again the 2.5 version
If you are an unlocked carrier make sure to flash the csc file I posted in the samfail thread somewhere
I had the same problem you had until I flashed the unlocked csc file

Same here but WORSE
The same thing happened to me except mine doesn’t have that message on second screen that yours does it reboots and system mount failure and to top it all off IT ENABLED FRP LOCK SECRURE FOLDER ALL THAT how can I possibly. Bypass this so I can reflash the stock firmware I do root phones as a side hustle I’m pretty well known I’m my town for being the tech guy. This isn’t my phone but I DO have the email and password I just can’t disable the frp is there a way UCSB deactivate it on my google account perhaps?
