Hello xda forum!
My Gt-N7000 became ever more slow and could no longer update the apps due to a full memory. Finally got around to rooting the phone with the PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.08.5-signed (.zip) file using Odin. The plan was to use Superuser and System Tuner to get rid of all the bloatware.
Well, I'm quite the noob and just followed some guide online. The phone rooted (confrimed with root checker) but now displays a yellow warning triangle on start-up and sometimes hanged for no apparent reason.
I then proceeded to try cleaning the bloatware. Using Lite-ROM Creator I imported a "fish-literom" something to System Tuner but it never loaded. I believe it was probably meant for an earlier version of android. I can no longer check what version I have but I would guess XXLT5 on 4.3 jelly bean, something like that. Wished I had found this place earlier and read the warnings: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
But there I was, rooted and messed up, but with all the bloatware still around.
Three days ago I needed to switch the sim card after forgetting to pay my phone bill (again). With the new sim, the phone started up but froze a couple of seconds after presenting the desktop. I switched back to the old sim and it was the same story. I have now confirmed that the original sim is alive again, so it shouldn't block any widget loading data or similar upon starting. Still the same. The silly aquarium background loads and everything works for a couple of seconds, then it dies. To restart I need to remove the battery.
Reading on forums I understood one should to press volume down + power + main to enter some sort of Odin boot. It displays:
Product name: GT-N7000
Custom binary download: yes (1 counts)
Current binary: Custom
"Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"
But after one hour of this I gave up and turned off the target anyways. I re-started the phone countless times now. I also tried to rush to menu - phone details to check my version details but the phone freezes too fast for me to finish the job.
Upon usb-ing to my PC I hear the new-device-sound but nothing ever shows up. It's like connecting a goddamn usb light or something.
I'm quite desperate, since I really can't afford a new phone and also have no clue what back-up program I used to save my life online. Some kind of app that backed up contacts and all, but who the f can remember which one?!
Did I kill my phone?
Is there anything I can do?
I'm ready to try just about anyhing and would be ever grateful for any advice!
Best regards,
Björn
head over to sammobile and download a stock firmware based on your country.
volume down + power + main will take to 'download mode' where, with using odin on a pc/laptop, you would
flash the firmware from sammobile. there's tons of tutorials and guides to learn how to flash back to stock. (youtube, even here on xda)
after successfully flashing, root again, and there is a post (i think in themes and apps) about which apps are safe to remove,
to debloat your phone.
Hi all. So here's the skinny:
I've got a Verizon nexus 6, unlocked boot loader and rooted running 5.1.
No other mod except for the net tethering provision.
I did a factory reset this morning because my device wasn't showing up on ADM. It shows up in Google play via the website, and I'm able to install apps to it from there.
I have gone through all the basic troubleshooting steps Googling could afford me. After the factory reset, it showed up in ADM. But when I checked again just now, it's gone again. That was one of the primary reasons I did the reset (which was a pain in the butt by the way because I had a pin-at-boot and even after telling the phone to do a factory reset twice, it didn't go away until telling it to in the boot loader menu).
I'm pretty frustrated now, because I went through a lot of hassle to fix it... And with no SD card, titanium backup is out the window too.
Does anybody have a solution or has someone else experienced this?
Hi Everyone,
First off I am a total novice and I put my hands up to say I should not have tried to root my phone. I merely wanted to root so that I could actually use the space on my SD card, which the HTC Desire doens't.
I did try to do this manually by reading a few guide and walkthroughs with no success. So then I used the sunshine app to unlock my bootloader and then WinDriod to load TWRP recovery and then hopefully root the phone. It does say ***unloacked*** on the fastboot menu. However, I sort of messed up my phone.
I cannot load into recovery mode - it goes to a HTC load screen then right back to fastboot usb menu.
I cannot factory restore the phone either.
Can anyone advise me how to return my phone to its normal state or advise on how to fix this problem?
Appreciate any help anyone can give me!

Hello,
Since you asked for help with returning the phone to it's normal state I have some questions. Does the phone work normally? Can you make calls, text, and do other things when you simply power your phone on or is the OS deleted? Are you just referring to obtaining stock recovery or do you still want to get TWRP? It sounds like some error happened when you tried to flash TWRP and now you have no recovery. Here is a great guide that shows you how to flash TWRP. You can use that same guide to flash the stock recovery. That channel also has videos with an alternate method to unlock your bootloader and how to root the phone.
My phone works fine, makes calls, texts etc, I just can't boot into recovery. I tried several methods, following online videos etc to no avail, but ill give this one a go this evening. I mentioned returning it to its original state so I could start over with the flashing process as nothing seems to allow me to load into twrp, so i wondered if there was a corrupt file or something preventing me from doing so. The phone's bootloader is unlocked I believe as it says so on the hboot screen.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill let you know how it goes.

The method in that video should work perfect. I doubt there was a corrupt file, but we'll find out soon enough. I have a love/dislike relationship with WinDroid. I love it, because of how easy it is to use and it requires little to no knowledge of what you are actually doing and it is just a beautiful looking program. I dislike the fact that you pretty much learn nothing when you use it, as it does all of the work. Also, if you use the adb drivers it provides and you already have adb drivers, you will receive an error that the adb server is out of date.
Hello! If you're reading this i hope you can help me, cause right now i have no idea what to do. First I'm going to tell my phone specs. I have a rooted, Moto X 2nd Edition XT1092, without any custom ROM installed, running Android Lollipop, with the option to upgrade to marshmallow and an unlocked bootloader. It uses the google launcher by default. I am pretty experienced with root as i have used rooted android phones for more than 4 years now (my first one was a Samsung Galaxy S2) and haven't had any problems until now. I had recently downloaded FaceNiff, one of the sniffing apps for android, and when i pressed start, it would automatically stop. I thought it was maybe a problem of the apps compatibility with my phone, but after researching for a long time, nothing came up so i decided to try another sniffing app. I moved on to DroidSniff, yet, I had the same problem, but this one wouldn't only stop, it would crash. I researched on this app too. Nothing. So I later downloaded one called DroidSheep, and when I started this one, I was lucky that an error was displayed, it was something about Position Independent Executables (PIE), it said "Only Position Independent Executables are supported" or something around those lines. So I decided to research PIE, and I found on the XDA Forums that you could fix this by changing the system/bin/linker file for a custom linker file, which a download link was provided for. I downloaded the file, changed it for the old linker file and tried the apps again. Apparently, I didn't have root access anymore! None of the root apps worked, I thought maybe I had to reboot my phone for my root to come back or for the custom linker to work. So i powered off my phone, turned it on, but instead of turning on, it would say the "Warning unlocked bootloader" thing, and then show a picture of and Android lying down with a caution sign, with the text "No Command" underneath. It's currently in this state, and the phone won't stop repeating this until it runs out of battery. The good thing is I can hold the power and volume down button to enter the fastboot menu, and i can then go into recovery. After this happened, I went to recovery and factory reset my phone, but it still didn't work, so I factory reset it again. It still charges, with a wall plug and with a computer. I think the computer recognises the phone, and I'm pretty sure I have USB Debugging enabled.
To sum this up, I changed the file system/bin/linker for a modified version of it and my phone won't boot up.

I do not know if finally you fixed the problem with your moto, but you can do a clean install of a stock rom, or maybe cm12/cm12.1...
How to, and link with the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/img-5-0-reteuall-xt1092-lxe22-46-19-t2997745

Hey! Thanks a lot for the advice, ill try to do what you said, although im not sure how to use fastboot. Ill tell you if it worked.
Hello,
Yesterday I unlocked and rooted my phone successfully, I then installed the super user app, and after I rebooted my phone it got stuck in a boot loop. It took me 6 hours to finally get it out of the boot loop, couldn't get my device in TWRP (only got in in TWRP mode twice but don't ask me how I did it). But now my phone is back up and running, but I noticed there we're some icons missing, like my calendar, huawei back and some other stuff. Also I can't install Huawei Back Up which I need to recover my backup to my phone. Now I've been trying again all day to fix this, looking all over the internet and digging through this forum for a solution but unfortunately I haven't found a fix.
I was hoping anyone could tell me how to fix this, and guide me a little.
Thanks! :laugh:
