Right now, there is no reliable way of rooting XT106x without a couple of bootloops. Results vary between 1-5 loops before the boot process continues.
I'm running the latest beta of SuperSu and the problem persists.

This is *the* lollipop deal breaker currently. I can't live without root, so, I have to live without lollipop right now.

Yes. After install you may experience non ending loop. Just force reboot into recovery, clean cache and reboot. Be patient. 1st boot is always a bit unreliable. But after that, rebooting the phone works without problem

Well, I never used the cf autoroot method. Just downloaded the stable zip download.chainfire.eu/supersu flashed it and everthing is fine (except for the bootloop of course). Never had random reboots related to root.

TWRP Recovery Problem..

Sometimes when I boot in recovery I get a "no OS installed error". I have to reboot the recovery in order to fix it. Does that happen to anyone else? If so, do you know what causes it? It seems to have only started happening recently? Maybe it's the 4.2.2 roms?

I haven't seen that before, sounds odd. Try reflashing recovery and wiping cache, also make sure you're updated to the latest CWM

Get into bootloader mode and flash back to stock system. Be sure and boot into recovery after you flash stock system and then wipe the cache. Then reflash the image you want using mofo. Then wipe the cache after you do, then boot into system.

I've done that a couple of times and it still stays stuck at the M.I'll try again tonight when I get home from work.Sometimes I can't even get to the wipe cache screen.

Are you sure the stock system images is flashing? What image are you flashing?
Also, I don't know what you mean you can't get to the wipe cache screen - it is recovery. I have all of the instructions on how to get into bootloader mode and flash back to stock as well as getting into recovery here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/noob-guide-rooting-verizon-moto-x-2014-t3097375
Also, if you are having trouble flashing the sparsechunks from RJ's site, then you can download the fxz and flash the single image system.img using mfastboot.

OK well there are special instructions on what you need to do the first time you flash an image with Xposed. Both ClydeDroid and mikeoswego have those instructions in their OP with the links to the images.
I've flashed both of these files from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...mages-mofo-t3100601/post60537982#post60537982 and I still get stuck at the M logo.Wiped and didn't wipe cache and still nothing :/

Try wiping data instead of just a factory wipe. Note that this will nuke your sdcard.

So to summarize - you are back on stock and everything works fine? But when you try to flash an image via mofo.exe, it never boots and instead hangs on the M?
That sounds to me like your image is corrupted. I would re-download the image.

Be sure and wipe cache after flashing and let it hang at the M for awhile too before you conclude that it is not going to boot.

When flashing 6.0 stock image receive error "missing package system.img"

Here is the problem. I accidentally deleted everything on my Nexus, so now I have no operating system. I am trying to flash stock android 6.0 and I recieve the error "package missing system.img". My phone was already running Marshmallow, and I had no problems installing it the first time, so I am not quite sure why this is happening now.

easy one to solve as its written around so many times.. do not use the flash-all script, you have to flash each partition individually.

try it again. if you get stuck in a bootloop, go back and wipe data/factory reset.

I tried this 3 more times and it still got stuck in a bootloop, should I keep trying?
Are you using a toolkit to flash?

Try reflashing boot.img.
Worked for me.
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm curious now! I've heard of people having this problem before, I started flashing them individually for this reason! You can NEVER be too safe when doing something like this. You get the hang of doing it individually after doing it so many times though.

Rooted SM-T810 not booting

Hi,
On Wednesday I rooted my SM-T810 (with Android 5.0.2) with cf-autoroot and after that I installed TWRP from this XDA forum.
I took a Nandroid backup and then I installed the CM12.1 root from T_I.
It worked perfectly.
But now after I switch the tablet off and on it doesn't get past the Samsung screen.
I can go to download mode and I then I am able to flash cf-autoroot again with Odin.
After that it starts up, but the problem occurs again the next time I power the tablet off.
I can flash the tablet with a Samsung firmware from SamMobile, but I also have a LG G4 and an older Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 both with CM, so I really would like to keep using CM.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Disable cm root in developer settings.
No, that didn't work either.
I reflashed a sammobile image, but still the same issue.
Then I installed twrp 3.0 and could boot to it (through download mode).
I reinstalled CM12.1 and it works as long as I don't switch the tablet off.
Unfortunally I cannot return it, because of the knox trip counter.

Have you tried flashing stock firmware from sammobile with odin? It should fix all problems and you should boot.

Yes, that didn't work.
I think it cannot erase the volumes back to stock?
ok, I fixed it by restoring the full Nandroid backup.
It is booting and working again.
I think it must have been an issue with the boot image or so.
I'll start over with CM12.1 next weekend...

Yeah, sorry.
I didn't expect that that would fix this boot problem, because this restore already has superSU installed.

A nandroid almost always fixes the issue if it was made from a working system.

Marshmallow kernals

Are their currently any kernals which support marshmallow now? I installed emotions kernals but the wifi doesn't work and I do not know how to get back to stock kernel.
Thank you

Using an N910t3 I flashed emotion MM rc25 , confirmed wifi didn't work, tried the data fix it put me in a bootloop, luckily I had made a complete backup in TWRP and restored it already, just want to warn anyone else before they try it.
You should keep A backup of the original the "boot" partition in twrp. In TWRP>Backup>select "boot" only. That keeps the stock kernel.
I haven't tested any alternative kernels personally.
I feel that the stock MM kernel is doing great.
MM works fine. I'm waiting for MM kernel
I had a few problems with Marshmallow but finally installed the latest PG2. My phone N910T boot looped and caused some problems but eventually I finally had a working 6.0.1 stock. I installed TWRP and SuperSU SYSTEMLESS and used the phone for 2 days.
I tried flashing Beastmode and Emotion kernels but neither worked and I was stuck in a boot loop. Eventually I tried to reinstall stock without a wipe as this always works and keeps my apps etc.
The stock said the md5 checksum was invalid even though it was the same file from 2 days earlier. To fix this I removed the file extension, preventing it from doing the MD5 check and attempted to install. It bricked my phone as the process appeared to stop at halfway and I aborted. I found modem and bootloader files for PG2 and took a shot at installing them. I got to another bootloop.
I tried the stock tarfile again and was a little more patient this time. The previous delay was only a few minutes long. It installed succesfully. I Installed TWRP with ODIN, followed by a systemless root in recovery mode.
I'm currently waiting for MM kernels. I hope my little adventure helps somebody else on their journey.

I don't know. I've upgraded bootloader in the past without issues. There seems to be issues surrounding mismatched modems and bootloader recently.
