Could you explain better...
Could you enter flash mode?
If you can, follow [NUT] OP and flash stripped ftf.
LINK
That way you'll get stock kernel...it's normal you can't boot your device, you have custom kernel on locked bootloader.
I'm not sure, never tried to unlock BL on Z1 but you should first flash stock ROM and kernel...
This way, I'm not sure you'll be able to enter flash mode to flash ftf from flashtool.
But, as I said, I'm not 100% sure.
Try that method and post what happened...

This is a great thread --> Disaster Recovery by NUT
See the section (click to expand it) about flashtool.
It explains how to connect your phone in flash mode when it's in a bootloop, etc.
Reading the whole lot is recommended, but that's the part you need.
I would pick a stripped ftf from NUT's download page to match the firmware you were running, so if .757 use the stripped .757 ftf, etc.
Then flash the stripped ftf which contains the stock kernel and baseband
That should fix your phone, and retain your data. :good:

No this is bad advice
If he has flashed a custom kernel and maybe a custom rom (Such as Cm or aokp etc) then this will not help
The OP gave limited details about his situation. So flashing a stock FTF will help him. Flashing a stripped FTF or stock kernel only will only help if he is coming from a stock based rom.

Whoops, sorry, very true
Should have thought really, the only real reason to be on a custom kernel is to install a non stock based rom

Not really, I am on stock ROM work a custom kernel. If the op had given more information we could give detailed help, but this is just another example of someone shouting help in a generic sense , in which case I give generic help.
So many users need to learn how to ask for help

Hopefully the OP will let us know what rom he was running, and he may get a more specific answer.

It look like the OP relocked wit the wrong TA! ..lol.. I hope not for him...

Before you unlock your bootloader you should backup your TA.
When you relock with your own restored TA you would get your DRM keys back, etc like you hadn't unlocked in the first place.
If you didn't backup your TA you can still relock your bootloader, but you've lost your DRM keys.
You can't flash someone else's TA as it won't work either, and as far as I understand it, brick your device.
You have to have stock based firmware before you relock your bootloader.
If you relock with a custom kernel installed, it won't work.
What rom and kernel were you running prior to locking your bootloader?

i know, i just wan to know wrong TA issue come from user chose wrong file or tools can make it wrong.

Wrong TA, backed up from different phone, even the same model, and restored on your just to have the DRM Keys back. (hard brick)
I said that because it was an idea as the OP didn't explain yet WTH he did on his phone.
BTW, at this time I think we lost the OP somewhere..LOL...

No you wont, just flash a stock kernel and a stock based rom (If you were on a non-stock based custom rom) after relocking.

[Q] [Help] Boot Loop using GPE 4.4.4

Hello all, looking for a little guidance.
My symptoms: My phone (non hk, m8) boots and then reboots after about 3-4 seconds. I can't get through the initial set up at all.
I unlocked using the htc dev option, I don't have s-off, I flashed twrp 2.7.1.0,
I flashed the GPE 4.4.4 from within twrp and as per the instructions, followed that up by flashing the boot.img using fastboot. EDIT*** I also wiped cache, dalvik, and data prior to initial boot.
Everything went smoothly and I started the initial boot, it gets past google logo and the boot animation and it even starts the initial set up, after about 3 seconds it reboots.
I came from latest everything totally stock. (the .10 radio, and 4.4.3 stock rom) I accepted all the OTAs on stock then started the switch to GPE.
Anyone else experience this or know what I should look into to resolve this?
- Thanks in advance.

Update: I am fairly certain this has to do with SuperSU - I will attempt re-installing and ensuring SuperSu is flashed and ready to go before booting.
Update: Final edit - RESOLVED
For anyone else dealing with this, it is a matter of ensuring that SuperSu is flashed prior to booting. Once you've installed the rom, flash latest supersu and then boot as normal.

Same Problem
It'sbeen awhile since I've rooted. I am however having this same issue. How do I go about getting only a flashable SuperSU file? I looked it up and the only thing im getting is a flashable recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated seeing how my phone is useless atm. Thanks

Anyone had any luck obtaining S-Off with this rom? I tried using firewater but every time I get the "whelp, you can't use firewater" message. Any pointers on what I could be doing wrong

You're not doing anything wrong... Firewater only works on some M8s. You should definitely not be trying it in the GPE rom. Stock is what you want.

If you continue to get that message on a stock ROM you'll need to use SunShine S-off instead (I have a feeling that going back stock won't help the issue but it's recommended to be as close to stock as possible).

Recovery log?

[Req] Stock recovery for ATT 4.4.2 needed.

I need stock recovery for ATT 4.4.2, 165.44.10 in flashable zip format.
I got my soak test for 4.4.4, but I am on vacation so I don't have a PC to revert back to stock recovery.

I seriously doubt you'll find that. Instead, (assuming you are rooted), download your choice of "Rashr", or "Flashify" from the market, and use it to flash the stock recovery.img file (attached). I had to zip it because the forum has a 10MB size limit. Just unzip it first and flash with Rashr/Flashify.
Also keep in mind that if you have made any changes to /system (including installing Xposed), the OTA will likely fail to install.
Personally, I wouldn't even consider trying to flash an OTA after having rooted and flashed custom recovery without a PC around. If anything goes wrong you're gonna be up a creek (if you get my drift) with no way to recover.
Good Luck

I signed up and got the email about the soak test, just wondering if they send another email with the update or if it will be an Ota. I just signed up a few days ago so who knows if I will even get one but I'd like to know what to look for thanks.

The roll-out hasn't started yet. The current *best guess* given by 'those in the know' is that it will possibly start tomorrow night. If you signed up for the soak test, you will likely receive it once the test starts.

QQ Sam, will that recovery also work for the T-Mobile GSM Version?
Also after flashing the recovery you need to flash twrp again i`m assuming?

Here is the recovery for the T-Mobile variant. It may be the same - I haven't checked the MD5s.
I'm kinda confused as to why you need it though. The XT1053 has been on 4.4.3 for some time. Unless you are still on 4.4.2, and you want to update to 4.4.3....
The 4.4.4 rollout (or even the soak test) haven't started yet.
Regardless, this is what you need for when it does start. Keep in mind (as your probably already know) that if you have modified /system, the update might fail to install. Remember to uninstall Xposed if you are using that before you update as well.
And finally, yes, after you have successfully taken an OTA, you can simply flash TWRP back again.

So... Do I have the right kernel for Att?

Oh wow! That's interesting....
Every Moto X Kernel I've seen (that was signed w/release keys) thus-far has the "hudsoncm" build. Now I'm really curious what is different about this one...
Or are you unlocked and you flashed a custom kernel?? I bet that's it - are you using "faux" kernel or something??

Yes. The other one pictured by the other member posted does not appear to be stock. My guess is that they flashed a custom kernel at some point.
Yours appears to be the stock.
EDIT: upon further research, both appear to be stock Kernels. I'm wondering if the kernel in the SBF differs from the one in the OTA. That's all I can figure. You would *think* that every phone on the same build, whether updated via OTA or SBF/FXZ would have the same kernel build. Apparently not the case....

Hello,
If i give you the update zip for OF1, can it be made flashable with FlashFire so we can be rooted with the latest? I already have it on my GDrive, from my OTA update.

Even if it is possible, god forbid something goes wrong and your device fails to boot or you need to odin back to complete stock. If this does happen, you will not be able to downgrade and will lose root for good most likely.
For such a minor "update", I havent even posted this myself for the g925v as the risk out weighs the benefits by far.

If i give you the update zip for OF1, can it be made flashable with FlashFire so we can be rooted with the latest? I already have it on my GDrive, from my OTA update.

★ What do you mean by "Safe Upgrade"?
The latest N910VVRU2BOG5 bootloader is incremented; i.e., if you take the OTA or flash the official firmware via Odin, you won't be able to downgrade.
For Retail Edition: This is very important if you want to gain ROOT access when available & keep it over OTAs then.
For Developer Edition: If the bootloader is incremented with any coming OTA, it'll block your unlocked bootloader for good & you'll end up with a Retail Edition.

Wow, you really turn this stuff over quick! I looked at your post while clocking out from work at 4:30, you said you were still downloading it. I just got home at 5:30, and you have a new thread, and links/upload already finished! WOW!
EDIT: Seems you have yet to finish uploading the BOG5 tar. Patiently (kind of) waiting at my computer. lol Im going to need a new F5 button before long!

Yup. It's the best device available considering Note 5 as a downgrade except for the design that most users cover with a case anyway!

Under special instructions, it says to flash the OAF bootloader if coming from Kit Kat (I'm on NJ5). When are we supposed to do this? After we flash the OG5 stockrestore and reboot?

1st, that'sonly for the retail edition. Then, you can do it anytime to fix the auto-brightness issues with KK bootloader. That being said, it's recommended to flash OG5 stock restore & reboot again to download mode to flash OAF bootloader, before the 1st boot.

Okay that's what I was going to do. So I'd be fine to stay on my current bootloader if I don't care about the auto brightness?

Yes, but why?

I guess as long as it is still able to be downgraded, it doesn't matter. It's not like the new one would help me in any way though.

For some reason I thought that flashing the BOG5 upgrade would wipe the whole phone and reset me to a literal "factory fresh" state. But apparently, it left EVERYTHING in tact, but DID still do the upgrade. I wanted to start fresh so I could go back to a clean system and start over. So I had to do a factory reset. No biggie. Just wanted a clean slate. Looks like Im back up and running smooth. I was on BOAF bootloader already, so I didnt flash the bootloader again this time. I should still be good, right? Havent checked the bootloader post-flash yet.
Also @hsbadr, do you mind if I mirror your Safe Upgrade files on my website/server? Always ask before I do anything. Links to my site in my signature. Also, I can include any direct links back here, or two another location of your choosing. All proper credits given.

NP! If you followed OP instructions, you'll wipe data (factory reset) in recovery, before 1st boot.

I actually did a factory reset AFTER first boot. Any real difference in effectiveness? Seems to be good.
Im taking it thats a YES on mirroring your files? Just making sure. lol

Thank you hsbadr... you're just awesome! Donated!

OK, so I've started to upload all 5 stock firmwares (ANI1 through BOG5), as well as both Safe Upgrades by @hsbadr (BOF1 and BOG5). At the speed of my home cable, it will take at least a day, maybe more. Still working on the site layout, instructions, and links. When its finished, I will post a link to the site as well as directly to the Note 4 section.

Is there not already a thread with all that info?

Yes, but all the info that I'm adding to my site, is scattered throughout various threads and other webpages. I'm making a centralized location for everything. No more mass bookmarks, remembering threads, and since my site is highly optimized, it should save a LOT of data for those that browse on their phone. I also re-compressed all the huge files, shrinking them by about 300MB each to save some bandwidth.

Just picked up a note4 yesterday, it has N910VVRU2BOF1 on it and there is an OTA I'm not taking. I'm guessing the OTA is 2BOG5?
Anyway, will this work for me coming from a stock/retail N910VVRU2BOF1 phone?
Thanks in advance!
