Hello, I recently unlocked my bootloader and flashed a recovery. I flashed a new ROM, TikTak 4.42. After flashing the rom from CWM it started and went to a constant blue screen.
I flashed a new recovery via fastboot and flashed the rom again, it started but when it got to the locale selection and restarted after 2 seconds. This would repeat over and over. I decided to do a wipe, but inadvertantly wiped my storage too.
I pushed another ROM to the device via adb and flashed that via CWM, same problem as the constant rebooting. I tried to flash a RUU from fastboot but got a "Signature Fail" error.
My phone has access to the bootloader and recovery. My storage is empty so I have no roms on my phone. In mounts and storage it always says "mount /system" and "mount /data". Could this be a problem with system?
If you have any questions please ask, I'm quite new to all this so may not have included everything necessary. If anyone can help me fix my phone totally, I could make a small donation thorugh paypal
Thanks in advance

TikTak 4.42..? :laugh:
my guess is that it's cwm causing your problems, may I suggest trying twrp instead

Thank you both for the replies, I'll be sure to read them now, and will try TWRP.
I can't seem to find an RUU for my device, it's hutchinson 3g, uk, which has the 3 digits 771. I can't find that in any of the listed RUU's

I tried flashing the rom with twrp but have the same problem, it boots up, gets to the choose location menu and then reboots. If it's important, when I'm in the bootloader it says "OS- (blank)"

Thank you for helping! I think I may have worded my last reply badly. My recovery works, I'm currently on twrp, and I can flash a rom. When i flash the rom, I reboot the system, goes through boot screen etc, gets to choose locale i.e UK, USA, its the normal android start up, then it just crashes and reboots

hey guys,
things first:
c5303, .201... rootet, LB...
so tried to do a "advanced restore" only of "system" with CWM... then tells me "error"... want to reboot... tells me "no root, wanna root via CWM?"... i say "NO", cause i once got a problem throught that...
phone reboots, GETS STUCK at "SONY"... nothing more, nothing less... no way to get into flashmode, or any recovery, doesn't do anything?!
what to do now??? i'm freaking out here, because not even "flashmode" wants to get activated?!
any one able to support any assistance?!
thx in advance
E: ok, good thing, FLASHMODE working now!
what to do next? is it possible to flash an old backup (by CWM) with this?
E 2: just reseted my phone... flashed everything new... hopefully i can restore an old backup now Oo
Possibly a recovery issue. When you tried to restore system, it might have formatted the system partition and then couldn't write to it throwing out an "error", so you ended up with no ROM and no recovery.
Since you can enter flashmode, option is to flash a ROM ftf with flashtool and root again. Because you're with locked bootloader, might have to start again with Android 4.1.2
Try newer versions of recoveries. They don't seem to have problems in restoring.

OK people i won't talk much, i by mistake in twrp went to wipe then advance wipe and selected everything in there (including system)( i got a 158 mb update to v10d software i did that but it kinda failed cuz it rebooted once and got to twrp and stayed on it forever all other reboots take me to twrp and nothing else and then i wiped everything after trying many times cuz i was mad ).
SO yeah now there's no os installed in it.
BTW i have l90 D410 the dual sim version v10c software rooted and unlocked bootloader with guides from XDA only.
To fix myself i tried downloading CM 11 and tried flashing the zip from twrp at first i got w7ds error telling my device is not w7, so i searched a bit and got something which said change updater script and edit "w7" to "w7ds" in the first few lines. So i did that and tried to flash again but then i got MD5 does not match
WHAT should i do?
ATM im just stuck on twrp with no os installed in my l90 or say i have a completely wiped l90 with twrp recovery and a sd card (8 gb) and when trying to reboot twrp says your device doesnt look rooted install supersu to root it (obviously swiping to install dont work), other twrp functions are working good.
HELP PLSsssss most appreciated.

What thread did you get your recovery from, @Quarx CM11? There is an option in TWRP on the page that's displayed right after selecting files to install, "Zip file signature verification". Make sure it's unchecked. Unchecking that option should bypass the MD5 verification and allow the installation. Unfortunately, you may have to continue with editing the updater-script on new installs.
I'll speak with @shoxxy and @Quarx about creating recoveries for the dual sim devices so that we can prevent this error from happening anymore. This will mean that there will eventually be 2 different sets of recoveries available for the L90. One set for dual-sim devices, and one set for single sim devices. By recovery set, I mean all available recoveries, CWM, TWRP, and Philz-Touch.
The reason for TWRP not installing SuperSU to root the OS is because there is no OS to root.

i believe i got twrp from google (damn) , by md5 verification you mean that zip file verification should have a cross infront of it or not? well w/e it is i tried in both ways (having cross and not having one) but it checks for md5 both times, maybe because i dont have twrp from quarx thread.
Can i update my twrp to quarx's one? if so how pls tell, would be much helpfull.
EDIT : atm i have downloaded few files that might be needed to unbrick(stock kdz file, cm11 28/10 build, twrp image from quarx) on my pc
UPDATE
OK i got to install cm11 on my device and when i try to fix permissions is says a SELinux is present (good) but phone is still just booting in twrp only.....
HELPPPP
nooooooo some1 pls help im desperate.......
p.s. why doesnt twrp remember my settings, i set screen timeout to 15 sec, after every reboot i have to w8 full 60 sec to get its screen timeout to be able to use the touch screen.
EDIT: OK guys dont bother yourself now i got myself running cm11 on my phone and its unbricked now. Cheers and thanks for your time.
if any1 wants me to tell what happened to my device how it happened and how i fixed w/e i tried etc then pls tell i might write it down for some other people who might be stuck.

you said that u updated ur device to 10d..
Thats d problem.....
If u updated ur phone without stock recovery..
It will struck at twrp..
If u try to flash roms..
but still u'll struck at twrp (It happens to me tooo)
After rebooting the phone is directly enter into recovery mode to flash new update ..
I don't know where the update file and script stored but until its updated its still struck at the same twrp..
if u remove cache/delvik cache/data/system..
But still its trying to update phone by entering into recovery mode.......
So,
Only one solution to this.
Flash kdz file using offline method.
Here's link to thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-flash-stock-kdz-offline-lg-l90-t2803479
but after flashing kdz 10C.
It'll automatically update to 10d (Don't panic at this)..

the problem here is that my phone was not in usb debugging mode before brick and i spent 6-7 hrs figuring out how to get my device detected, but it never got detected in my pc.
BTW my prob for now is solved since my phone is running cm11 very well, its true that i lost some good functionality like knock on, qslide apps, quick window software, etc. but at least it has an os to boot into now.

hey brother same problem here. after flashinf L-touch rom on my galaxy S duos (gt-s7562) i got stuck in boot screen, nothing is going after it.
then i tried installing flashable twrp recovery from cwm recovery, and then followed the procedure to install L-touch rom. but when i reboot my device it says " no os installed" and asks me to install superuser. ( i think my os and my root access are gone now).
please hepl me out brother.
thanks and regards,

You need to download the firmware (around 900mb) not cm ROM (300mb)
Sent from my GT-I9192 using XDA Free mobile app
i have found out how to fix this what you need to do is first flash a rom zip file get your stock recovery image for your device and flash it via twrp select install than install image find your stock recovery image then flash it then it will boot to the previous rom you tried to install then you can reflash twrp and all good
Hey guys, I am trying to use an application called XMODGAMES on my Samsung Tab S2. If you are not familiar with the application it is used with games to make them automated (i.e. perform tasks that would if done manually waste hours of your time).
Yesterday, I was able to root my device using the following techniques: I downloaded odin, cf_autoroot, and t810 5.1.1 boot. This actually ended up boot-looping my device so I used odin to flash to a stock firmware, installed twrp, and then installed SuperSu (yay root). Then I downloaded XMODGAMES and it is failing to work with the device, upon troubleshooting I found that there is an issue with "Enforcing" with Samsung devices that causes the application to not work. There are a few workarounds (given by XMODGAMES) that I attempted but I can not get it to work so I am looking for your advice and help.
This is the link to their workaround and videos: http://www.xmodgames.com/faq/64.html
TLDR: You use Lucky Patcher and SD2LINK to move the XMODGAMES application to the system/app directory and use ODEX as well as a few more actions. The issue that I am having is when I move it to the system directory the app icon disappears and I can no longer open or remove it. When I go to the local storage I can see the folder for the app but I cannot access it.
Seeking your expertise, and a HUGE thank you in advance.
I think I know what u problem is... u can either flash a different Kernel with Permissive SElinux or Search XDA for an app called SElinuxChanger that will allow to modify ur stock kernel on the fly, also I think U might need to install busybox not sure though.. I would Install it anyway but it seem u might have it already since u are using lucky patcher.. please let me know if it worked.

I downloaded SElinuxChanger but whenever I change the mode to Permissive it does not last long before it is reverted back to Enforcing. I have also tried to reboot several times and the mode does not stick. When I rooted my device yesterday I followed these rooting instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/guide-root-tab-s2-t3205019
I thought I already flashed a permissive kernel, I am not sure why it would still show enforcing? When I downloaded the stock firmware would it overwrite the kernel? Can I simply flash the kernel from the root guide again and will everything work properly? Or will that total mess everything up?
Maybe @ashyx and/or @DeeXii can help, they know their stuff.

upon reading u OP I notice u encounter the same issues I did and then rooted the same way I did, and to answer ur question yes u need a new kernel with SElinux Permisive since using odin to flash stock does overwrite everything now I dont know if that kernel is good for ur build... since u came across the same Issue as me I'm guessing that u're currently on PB1 build which is the latest correct? so at least for now stay away from now.. I use that app as well and I'm working on getting it to work as we speak as Soon as I get it working I'll share my method with ya..

Hey Jay, why does Samsung have to be so difficult? Ahh! I'm sorry to hear that you're in the same boat as me but it is somewhat relieving to know that I am not in this alone. I will have to look at what build I have when I get home and get back to you. Getting this app to work is very important to me, so important that I will return the tablet if I cannot get it to work in the next 10 days and get something compatible. I'd love to help in any way that I can to get us both up and running. Please let me know!

It's weird bud I had never came across this problem, til now not only that I was having difficulty keeping root while on Stock rooted, but anyway to what's important I got the app to work yesterday after experimenting with kernels and what not, I couldn't get it to work on stock rooted so I move to flashing roms that is how I go it working. So flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/rom-neked-nook-oj1-5-1-1-710-t3317823
follow this instructions:
1- Full wipe
2- Flash rom and Flash second file
3- reboot, here's where it gets tricky most likely u will encounter the same issue I did u gonna get a distortion on ur screen and blinking screen don't panic just let it boot once u are in the language selection screen turn it off now boot into recovery.
4- Flash last kernel.
5- Wipe cache/dalvik
Profit. Good luck.. let me know how it goes.

That is awesome news! Congratulations. I am very excited to do this when I get home tonight. I am sorry for my newb-ness (I do not do these types of things often) but I just want to make sure I don't mess something up. I am assuming that when I flash all of these files I am just booting into download mode, using Odin, selecting the files for AP and hitting start (please correct me if I am wrong). Can you please answer the questions in the bullets below?
follow this instructions:
1- Full wipe
Is this just a hard factory reset or do I have to wipe a specific way? Using TWRP?
2- Flash rom and Flash second file
Is this the proper order from this link? http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/rom-neked-nook-oj1-5-1-1-710-t3317823
1) Neked_Nook-710/810 - 810 users MUST flash this ROM and the file below after installing this ROM and BEFORE rebooting.
2) Neked_Nook-810-file-2 - 810 users MUST flash this- Flash this file AFTER flashing the ROM and BEFORE rebooting
3- reboot, here's where it gets tricky most likely u will encounter the same issue I did u gonna get a distortion on ur screen and blinking screen don't panic just let it boot once u are in the language selection screen turn it off now boot into recovery.
When I boot into recovery, am I booting into TWRP? Or did the full wipe clean this out? How do you flash from recovery as I would think it would be done in download mode + Odin.
4- Flash last kernel.
Do I flash this kernel? Permissive-OJ1-kernel-810.zip It was the first response in the thread. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759882106
5- Wipe cache/dalvik
Do I wipe cache/dalvik before I reboot or can I do this after I reboot using SD2LINK or any app?
Again, I am sorry for my newbness but I just want to make sure I don't mess something up by accident. Thanks in advance.

Before u start anything make sure u have all files inside ur tablet before wiping anything, also don't forget to make a back up of ur current Rom.
1-Everything is done in trwp recovery full wipe is System, cache, Dalvik, Data NOTHING ELSE DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL.
2- yes follow those instructions, FLASH THE ROM DO NOT REBOOT N THEN FLASH FILE 2. once that's done reboot. You will encounter a very glitchy system, don't panic wait til it fully reboots and then turn it off now boot into recovery again.
3- the full wipe will not erase TWRP u can't loose that unless u Odin stock. To boot into recovery just hold down Vol up+ home button+power when Tab s2 screen appears release after 2 or 3 secs now u will be in recovery. Once there u do what I already explained, flashing will be done with the install tab.
4- yes flash that kernel
5- Wipe after kernel finish flashing to avoid issues..
Good luck. Let me know if u have anymore questions

Awesome job! It works! Woohoooooo! I really appreciate our journey on getting us there , even thought you did all of the work. Thank you so much. I have a few more questions if you don't mind.
1) Samsung devices play games in low resolution so I downloaded Gamer Tuner (to max the res) but it says that the device is unsupported or not a Samsung device. I'm not sure what I can or cannot enable without confusing the system. I can't find a similar app out there either.
2) Now that my device is a Nook, lol. How do I get rid of all of the Nook stuff? Can I just start deleting stuff without consequence? Especially the main Nook page and preferable all of the buttons that say NOOK on them.
Again though, you did it and you're the man! Thank you good sir!

For ur nook app problem this is the solution
If you DO NOT want the BNN interface/apps, you'll need to use a rooted explorer and delete /system/app/NookAMV. Then got to App Manager and uninstall Nook.app.
For the game tuner app do you get a gameservice error? I think the solution for ur problem lies in the apps that were removed if go back to the thread there are two zips that u need one is removed appso and the add+apps flashable. U need to pick from the removed appso zip and placed them into the add+apps flashable zip into the right folder and then flash it in twrp.
As for me is not that big of the deal either app since I play on my phone, and i'm glad u got it working just giving back to the community as they have given to me.

Thanks for the quick reply as always. Everything you said worked like a charm! I added the GameOptimizer app back and it allowed me to use the Samsung Game Tuner app to fix the resolution. You're the man! Last thing that seemed a little weird was when I restart - the tablet does not automatically connect to my home WiFi, I have to manually re-enter the password and connect. I am wondering if I need to add more apps back. I'll play with it more tomorrow but thanks again for your time and help!

Hey Jay, I flashed the kernel (and wiped cache+kalvik) from this thread and it resolved my WiFi issue. Why did you say you didn't want to stay on this ROM?

Thanks for the Kernel info u beat me to it. Reason I'm moving is because since there isn't much development for this tablet yet (I'm staying optimistic that it will pick up) I much rather stay close to stock as much as possible.

Please dm me and let me know where you go. I want to get on something without these issues as well, lol.
I followed the steps in Neo's thread about repartitioning and ended up in sh** where I can not see sdcard0 (internal memory) and phone says there is no micro sd card inserted even though it is.
I tried with terminal commands to fix storage permissions, but it doesn't allow me anything as it says files are read only.
I flashed the uninstaller as well which says it should help and did not help.
Any other ideas? :/

Which recovery is installed? Try AdrianDC's latest TWRP. Also CM13 might help as it will repartion the storage.

Thank you very much for answer, almost gave up on the phone pretty much.
Twrp is 2.8.xxx something (one supplied with Neo's rom), I tried with 3.0 did not help. Tried with Clockworkmod didnt help either.
I will search for AdrianDC TWRP and give it a go.
Cm13 I tried but did not want to apply the storage change because it could not find "system" partition, (almost bricked it I guess) but I managed to fix that with stock rom, and could later reflash cm 12.1
But I will try flashing CM13 again, and come back with info in case you will be able to give some input again!
Thanks for now!

No worries.
For the recovery, go here:

And CM13 here:

I'm using it on my T and it's pretty awesome

Cheers for links, Tried with CM13, no success like before getting error when flashing the zip:
"sdcard could not be mounted (ext4/exfat ?) please verify your partition file system
You are agreeing to format your SDCard
UserData partition still contains files"
so doesnt let me flash 13.
And to repair the partitions I guess I just try the TWRP and under advance the repair option right?
Terribly sorry to bother so much, but I like the phone, and would love to fix it again!

Try to flash twrp first. Then do a reboot and try again to flash cm13.
Please report back how it goes
Good luck

Done and done, but I basically ended up on the same spot where it said unable to mount /system + previous error about sdcard
and now can not flash anything anymore (so have to flash official rom again to start up my phone)
Maybe im doing something wrong with flashing, but i doubt it. (flashtool64 is which im using) fastboot, and under the option of select kernel to flash.
then rest is done in recovery anyway with installing, right?
At the moment I am installing official rom, so I can start over with flashing twrp, rebooting, then flashing cm13
One thing I learned to always backup working system before doing anything!

I'm sorry to hear that.
Once stock rom is on it, try to flash neos kernel and then boot into recovery. In there flash Adriandc's twrp (the zip file).
After that reboot and try to flash cm13. If this still doesn't work you could try Adriandc's files for repartitioning. He did some awesome work.
I'm on my phone right now so I'll keep it short, if you need further assistance I'll try to help you as soon as i get to my PC

Thanks!
Tried exactly like that, same error when trying to flash cm13 :"Updater process ended with ERROR:7
Error installing zip file ".zip"
I guess I ruined something really bad when trying to repartion following neo's guide, (twrp says about partitions this:
- Internal storage: (1812mb)
- Legacy SDCard (0mb)
- Micro SDCard (7488mb)
-USB OTG (0mb)
If you have any more suggestions I can try, otherwise we can give up! feels like nothing would work, though much love for taking your time trying to help me! <3

It doesn't look that bad at all. Which version of TWRP is currently on your phone? (also the build date)
It looks like basketbuild is down right now, but once it's back up again you could try this zip:
https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/CyanogenMod/XperiaBlue
it will repartition your phone to it's original partition table

Oh that sounds exactly what I would need yea!
At the moment I reflashed cm12.1 (neo's) which installs 2.8.6.x twrp. Build date was january i think. (phone is booting up still)
I will try this zip as soon as basketbuild is up and will let you know what happens. (I guess i just reboot into twrp and flash the zip)?

Yeah, boot into TWRP, flash a new TWRP (I think it was 20th july or newer), then reboot straight into recovery again and flash the restore_sd zip
My phone booted up now with the 12.1, and there is internal memory back, 11gb out of 11gb free, accessable, and everything.. No idea what caused it to appear again but something what you said basically helped me and restored it back to original.
So thank you a lot! I kinda want to try and repartition it again to have more space for apps, but im afraid ill just blow it again.
You think I should try installing cm13 now as storage looks normal again?

I'm really glad you managed to restore it! Mint is still a great device.
Yeah, but CM13 will repartition your phone again (automatically). It will warn you once that all data will be lost, on second attempt it will flash just fine.
Good luck
