Okay I've had my phone rooted for awhile and I was trying to watch a movie and the movie kept buffering and apps were running very slow. So I decided I would try to remove some of the bloatware to see if it helped. I installed Root Uninstaller by KunKunSoft (GooglePlay Store) and selected a bunch of packages to remove that I thought would be safe enough to remove from my device... After the restart the phone never booted back up, it stays on the Verizon logo screen until phone dies, if I plug it up while it reboots it just keeps on Verizon logo screen with the 4 or 5 colored dots running at bottom and device get super hot.. I've left it going overnight and it never started up. I am thinking I screwed something up but I don't wanna lose my apps/data I have on device... I found out later that my internet was down and that was what was causing all the slowness on my device later which really has bummed me out about screwing my phone up.
Can anyone help me pls?
This is the root process I used back in December 2017 https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/development/root-samfail-galaxy-note8-t3685340
This is the app I installed this weekend that I somehow screwed my phone up with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.rootuninstaller
Thanks in advance
Boot into recovery, Volume up, Bixby button and power button and then factory reset see if that helps

Couldn't get it in boot into recovery, tried that several times. Not 100% but I don't think it has a recovery with that root process but what do I know... I've messed up my phone
Even if recovery worked a Factory Reset would erase all data which I would like not to have to do if at all possible unless its a last resort and no other way to fix it. But thats (if) recovery boot would work.....

Can you go to download mode and flash stock? I believe using home_csc would not wipe, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you for your help and reply.
Sorry been crazy busy lately. In a panic about this phone.. I have very important photos on this phone that I can not lose.
I lost my home and everything in it last year and I am in process of a claim with my insurance company. The phone has A LOT of photos of my home and the damage. I never backed up the photos or attached a cloud or anything so I'm in a mess.
Can anyone confirm that if I flashed the home_csc that it wouldn't wipe such data since sefrcoko isn't 100%? Hopefully if that is the only way I can learn how to do it without making any mistakes

Ok so no one has given any other suggestions or confirmations so I decided to take the plunge. I went into download mode and loaded my phones home_csc into Odin and flashed it. However there isn't any change. Phone wont boot up. Stays on Verizon logo with dots running across until phone dies of plugged in the phone just gets super hot and stays on that screen. Scared to leave it plugged in long with as hot as it gets. I've left it going about 4 hrs.
Please chime in if you know how to fix such issues (

Hi, did you load the other files in Odin too, or just home_csc? You should be loading the other files before flashing, along with either home_csc (which doesn't wipe data) or csc (which does wipe data).
In your case use home_csc, since you want to keep your data intact and are not changing csc. The regular csc file should usually only be used when you're flashing firmware that has a different csc than your current one (and therefore requires the wipe in order to avoid conflicts with the old csc).

No I only loaded that single home_csc file. Okay, awesome! I didn't wanna experiment alone and risk screwing something up and losing anything. Thank you so much for your reply! I will be trying this first thing in the morning and will report back. Thank you again!!

Alright so I just finished using BL, AP, CP, home_csc and it passed. Only thing I didn't use anything on was USERDATA.
Phone is still on Verizon logo with dots running across like before... I will leave it for awhile and see if anything happens..
I hope I am using the correct files, I am using the factory firmware. As I mentioned before the phone was rooted WITH THIS PROCCESS back in December. I think I have messed up. Sucks being a newbie about all of this stuff.

What files are you flashing? Make sure you're not flashing anything that says U4 in the name or you will not be able to root again until a root method is found for Bootloader v4.
Also.....NEVER use any app that says unroot or anything of that sort without first asking the community. As you can see, it can lead to situations like this.

It might take some time at that screen but should work eventually. If it stays like that for over 30-40min though there's probably something wrong. Might be worthwhile asking in the SamFail thread as they might have more experience with this root method (I have an Exynos).

Hmm that seems right but I can't really figure out what's going on...if it is still hanging on that Verizon screen then it did not work as expected. Try posting in the SamFail thread and see if they can offer some extra help. They are more familiar with this particular root method, so there's probably some nuance that I'm missing here.
Edit: Check out this post from the SamFail thread, it basically summarizes what I said, so it looks like that should have worked... Are you using the latest Odin version? And are you using the right firmware (and bootloader version)? Maybe post a screenshot of the files you loaded in Odin and the log it shows once you flashed everything?

Never booted up but it didn't get as hot as normally if that matters..

You cannot swap between Samfail and stock without wiping. IF you want to keep your data right now just redo the samfail method using hte samfail files.Since you are on blv1 just use samfail v1

You can check the bootloader revision when you are in download mode. It's the 3rd line up from the bottom that starts with rp swrev :. Mine says B4 because I'm on revision 4 witch is the newest.

Restart your computer and if running windows vista or 7 make sure you run Odin as an administrator and possibly even compatibility mode. I have had that problem before and a restart fixed it.

See the "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" that is linked in my signature below.
If that does not help then...
Sounds like you are gonna need a JIG. See my signature link below for links to how to make one or where to buy one.
When you get back into download mode, you are gonna need to flash a Stock Firmware of your choice. There is a sticky thread in the Captivate Development Forum that you will need to see for those.
hi people,
So here is my issue, i rooted my tab after having it about a year and wanted to install a custom rom, installed RomManager from the market and installed the clockwork recovery mod, BUT i picked galaxy tab 10.1 when it asked me what phone i had, as there was no other option. I checked on google first and it seems other people with the 8.9 are using the clockwork recovery mod so i thought it was safe.
Now its dead and powers up to the samsung logo, and then dies again.
Help! (currently i am draining the battery as it is mentioned in another thread in this forum)
Thanks
(tried the APX thing in nvflash and it was a no go)

It's alright. Go to the guide in my signature and read up about ODIN because you will use it to save your tablet. It's all there in FAQs, How-tos and the Toolkit at the end.

Power on the tablet, you may need to charge it.
As it is powering on hold down the power and the vol down button
Go into download, not recovery
Connect your tablet to your computer with the USB cable
Open up Odin
You should see box that says PDA, click there and it will want you to find a file. Choice the recovery file
Make sure the box that says partition or repartion are NOT check
then check start and wait. DO NOT touch or disconnect the tablet while it works

Solved! So i was putting the MD5 file and it wasnt working, so i put the whole .RAR file in and it worked! It wouldnt flash the clockwork recovery mod though so i had to put the stock one back on.
Still it works again, thanks guys.

I am glad you have your tablet back in working order.
Well now that you have the stock recovery, you can attempt to flash the Clockwork recovery again the right way if you want to. You now know how to recovery your tablet if you have a brick again so you don't have anything to lose

If Odin recognizes the tab there is a chance to recover it. What rom are you trying to flash? Go to sammobile.com and get the stock gb rom.

thats what i have been using; when i try with odin3 v3.07 its not recognizing the tablet
I know it doesn't make sense but keep trying to flash the rom. I've seen it not work for many tries and then it would for some reason. If odin recognizes the tab you are not hard bricked. You should be able to get it to operate again.
Also, use the gb Rom, uckj7

This the G3 to J1 OTA. A lot of people are still on the G3 build because of root issues. As some of you may have found out, the hard way, the J1 update does not allow the older root methods and a new method has not been found forcing people to not accept the OTA! This fixes that!
What I have done here is grab the OTA and neutered it so it would not install the "aboot" and not install the "recovery" partitions. On top of that I have pre-rooted it with the latest SuperSU and added my unsecure boot.img. So you get the following...
Features
New Radios / Appropriate firmware
New Kernel
OS changes from G3 to J1
Root will now be in the /system folder so if you wipe data root is still with you :highfive:
You must be on the 100% stock G3 base with root and Clockwork MOD Recovery. If you modified any files you need to restore them because the script checks the files on the /system partition to make sure it has not been tampered with! For example if you installed Gmail from the 4.2 build the script will error out and NOT flash!
If you need to return to stock G3 Base you can do it easy this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558. Thats what I had to do to root the tab so I know for a fact the OTA works 100% off the dump that MrHyde03 made!
Now for the official instructions
Instructions:
Must be at full stock G3 base with no modifications to the system files other than root!
Must have CWM recovery installed, must have the unlocked boot loader installed.
Uninstall Superuser (Yes, uninstall it!)
Copy Patch to Device
Reboot to recovery
Flash Patch. Takes about 3 to 4 minutes to patch.
Profit!
Thanks
Thanks out to MrHyde03 and RevosFTS for testing. Brave souls!
And thanks to other few people who tried but modified the system image therefore could not flash.

Excellent. Also added a reference to here in the root thread under Step 3.
I've been working with scott trying to flash this update..
I fixed the issue with the gmail 4.2 that I put on my tab.. so that is no longer an issue.. (and that was the only thing I changed in my /system partition)..
Now I'm getting an error status 7... with "assert failed: apply_patch_check (" /system/bin/debuggerd")".. when flashing this... not sure what that is? anyone know?
also I'm on the g3 build
Baseband Version: I705VRLG3
Build Number: IMM76D.I705VRALG3
Sounds to me like it's not finding the file at /system/bin/debuggerd. Open root explorer or equivalent and check to see if that file exists. If not, then I'd go through Step 1b (Method 2 - ODIN) on the root thread again to ensure your system is 100% stock.

Agreed. This OTA tested perfect against your Odin stock so if there is an issue when someone tries to flash then they are not 100% stock system hence a quick odin flash will take care of that!

Did you verify all antivirus and firewall programs on your computer are disabled?
Im thinking locked bootloader?
Did you flash the "aboot" like in Hydes thread?
I think its step #3 or 4?

Im on an unlocked bootloader... the samsung splash screen is less than a second like it says in mrhydes thread... but I flashed it again just to make sure...
I've been flashing this stuff since the OG droid.. I'm not a noob on this... i'm not sure what is going wrong..
I appreciate all the help.. I'll just keep playing with it to see if I can figure it out

Hmmm. Odd.
The only time I got that messaage was when the bootloader is locked. I dont know then.
Let us know if you figure it out...
Also can you confirm the status of the current build you are on? And did you try a newer version of Odin? Maybe its just an Odin issue. What ver are you on?

Odin 3.04 is the version I use and have listed in the instructions. Think it could have something to do with your extra compressed version?
Try downloading the first link again and make sure your using the PDA section. You could even try running Odin "Run as administrator". Also can try rebooting your computer (had a similar issue a while back and a reboot of both my laptop and tablet solved it. Shut down your tablet completely then boot directly into Download (power + vol down). Plug it in AFTER it boots into Download and let us know.

No, but what you need to do is tell it to check again and it will come back and say that it is already installed and there is no update.

I originally postponed it for an hour and then froze SDM. When I unfreeze and go into software update it only gives me the option to install deferred update now.
I'm not terribly concerned about this because I can just leave it frozen but it's curious that I'm receiving the update. All of my software matches those listed on your screenshot above.

You have to ignore it then Select "Check Now"
That's what I had to do... Either that or do a factory reset. I know that will fix it for sure :angel:
And if you did let it go it would just fail immediately so no worries.
Ok cool. I'll check it after the original hour deferment expires and if I have to I'll factory reset.
Thanks for your work on this. Looking forward to future installments.
I installed tablet metrics with xposed installer. Then I used my phone normally for a few days and it started...
The phone started to reboot without reason. It just went crazy. I couldn't use it. Every time it turned on, 15 secs later started to reboot again. So I tried to uninstall xposed installer but didn't work. After doing that, my phone didn't boot anymore. It stayed in the "samsung" part. Then I went to recovery mode and did all the wipes possible, wipe cache, wipe factory reset, etc. Did everything but one, format data. And didn't boot. And as a last hope I did format data.
I shouldn't have done that.
Now I don't know what to do. Need some help, please.
I have installed the TWRP recovery. When I try to reboot it says "no OS installed". There is no way to install from TWRP a new OS ?
If you don't understand me or want me to add some more information just put it in the comments.
I don't speak english very well as you might know. Sorry.

Does the size of downloaded firmware match the size written on the page when you start download? I think XXLPZ is one of the oldest FW, try LQL for example.

Maybe your phone have some hardware issue, you told that it was rebooting every 15 seconds. Better go to some service centre.
TL;DR DON'T try to install a custom recovery yet. As of 5/12/15, the bootloader prevents you from doing that. At the moment, you can only root, which you can do through Ping Pong Root (google it). And if for some reason you goofed up and installed a custom recovery, go to AT&T and just say the bare minimum, that you "tried to update your phone" and it keeps telling you "this error message." If they prod more, you can say you "updated the firmware," but obviously withhold the words "flash," "recovery," etc.
So I greatly REGRET that I installed a custom recovery. I'd appreciate any help. I'm bricked in the "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone." Here's what I did leading up to it:
1. Installed Ping Pong Root party_beta5.7z. Unzipped, installed, rooted.
2. Root Checker verified root!
3. Determined my my phone is: G920AUCU1AOCE.
4. Downloaded TWRP 2.8.6.2 through Flashify for Samsung Galaxy S6 (zeroflte).
5. Flashed it through Flashify
6. Bricked (light blue screen with text) and bootloop.
Help!
EDIT: Steps I've taken so far:
1. Download Odin Tar files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...g920a-t3103835
2. Connected phone to PC in download mode after installing USB drivers and ODIN 3.10.6
3. Put all 4 tar files into their corresponding spots.
EDIT2: No luck. Tried multiple ports, multiple computers, and used the official cable. Also Ran as administrator. After making sure my device is recognized as COM3 (blue box), and the tar files are plugged in, I keep getting the below error:
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1005)..

PS: Why do they provide a custom recovery if it straight "bricks" your phone? How is that even considered a working release and why don't they (TWRP) post a damn warning about it?

Just joined last month, this was their third post currently, and knew this :good:
OP joined late 2011 and thought that just by gaining root, we could install custom recoveries on a still locked bootloader...........
LEARN FROM THIS, people! Don't want to go through this? Follow instructions!
That being said, from what I know of soft bricks, you are doing the right steps to fix it, I just don't have any experience with them to be able to tell you what you're doing wrong. People who have unlocked bootloader phones and installed custom recoveries, tripping KNOX, were able to flash back to stock and get KNOX back to 0x0, but again, they have the unlocked bootloader to be able to do that.... don't know what else to tell you other than to bring it to an ATT service center, play dumb, and see if they'll swap you into a new one

They do post a warning about it - they post what phones this IS for, and our phone is NOT listed! People, please learn how to read if you're going to screw around with your phones! You can't just say "I have an S6 Edge" and think they're all the same! TWRP clearly states the following two devices have recoveries available:
Samsung Galaxy S6 (zeroflte)
Samsung Galaxy S6 (Sprint) (zerofltespr)
Do you see zeroflteatt on that list? Do you think zeroflte = zeroflteatt? If you don't know what model phone you have and flash away, you're gonna have a bad day......

That being said, from what I know of soft bricks, you are doing the right steps to fix it, I just don't have any experience with them to be able to tell you what you're doing wrong. People who have unlocked bootloader phones and installed custom recoveries, tripping KNOX, were able to flash back to stock and get KNOX back to 0x0, but again, they have the unlocked bootloader to be able to do that.... don't know what else to tell you other than to bring it to an ATT service center, play dumb, and see if they'll swap you into a new one
They do post a warning about it - they post what phones this IS for, and our phone is NOT listed! People, please learn how to read if you're going to screw around with your phones! You can't just say "I have an S6 Edge" and think they're all the same! TWRP clearly states the following two devices have recoveries available:
Samsung Galaxy S6 (zeroflte)
Samsung Galaxy S6 (Sprint) (zerofltespr)
Do you see zeroflteatt on that list? Do you think zeroflte = zeroflteatt? If you don't know what model phone you have and flash away, you're gonna have a bad day......
