Resets as a new when I click system in TWRP - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, SM-T813, android 7.0
So after a few attempts, I finally got TWRP installed. I tried to install magisk, but that failed.
But when I go into TWRP recovery, and then select system to reboot, it starts as a new/reset device and I have to go through the initial setups again.
I have tried this twice now, and it's the same.
Perhaps I missed something and there is some security protection going on, but I don't know enough and am a bit stuck.
Can someone please give me some pointers to resolve this. Thanks.

Stuck in an odd bootloop, can't get out of it (SGH-T599N)

Hello all. I have been in the Android root community for a little over three years, and even after tinkering with the various devices I've owned since, I cannot get my T599N to come out of its current bootloop.
A background: I had been checking some things in my settings app (running stock, rooted), and I ended up just force closing the settings app to get out of it quickly. Well, this action deleted all of my text messages, and later on it removed my notification bar and made my wallpaper go black. I ended up booting into recovery mode to try and clear the cache. After it cleared, I rebooted, and bam, the bootloop started.
Now, here's what's interesting. The phone is in a bootloop where it displays the first boot message (SGHT599N Galaxy Exhibit or whatever), and then it tries to boot into cwm recovery, displays the loading screen for that for 2 seconds, and just reboots again. I've tried installing a stock rom from ODIN with no success. The rom apparently loads onto the device but it's still in the bootloop. After this, I tried to install philz recovery to try to install a zipped rom to get the device to somehow boot. I tried to factory reset it for installing purposes, and it just reboots. The device will literally clear everything but /data, so that makes me think that it may be a file system problem. I really need to get it to work, as I am out of a phone right now.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried everything I know.

Please i need help, after flashing xposed framework, i cant booting my S5.

Hey everybody,
i hope so much, that anyone can help me. After i installed the recovery TeamWin (TWRP) (it was successful), i tried to flash Xposed Framework manually, i got again an massage "it was successful". But after that i can not start my Samsung Galaxy S5. It shows me only the Samsung Logo and nothing happened. Of course i tried via TeamWin an factory reset but i still can not boot my smartphone (Stop at the Samsung Logo). My S5 ist rooted, i`m using 5.0 (lollipop). Version of the TeamWin was 2.8.7.0 and of the Xposed Framework "xposed-v74-sdk21-arm". Has anybody an idea? I would be very happy. Should i delete the TeamWin recovery? But how? I want to install the standard recovery of Samsung, but how to do this? Where can i find the original Recovery from Samsung?
Xposed isn't supported on latest Android versions (r23). You should just remove Xposed from your phone, by using this tutorial:

Thank you, but i cant find the xposed folder...because i made a factory reset
Just delete the files and folders that you can see (those which are Xposed related). It should fix your problem.
Or just flash ovet your rom again (dirty, without wiping).
Sorry it took long time for me to answer.
Edit:
Read sticky, there's a script that uninstalls it automatically. This should work 100%
always make nandroid backup before flashing
Having the same problems
So I'm having the same problem. The Framework says it installs correctly, but after reboot, device gets stuck at the Samsung screen. I don't understand the comment android r23. I'm looking at the build info and I don't see this anywhere. Some explanation or assistance would be great.
I'm not sure why sdk 23 was even mentioned as Lolliopo 5.0 is sdk 21.
@LieberKerl, you got the xposed-v74-sdk21-arm.zip from Rovo89's thread, correct? If so this will not work on stock Samsung Touchwiz ROMs as mentioned in the first post of that thread.
There is no Xposed that will work on a stock Samsung Touchwiz ROM, it must be deodexed first and if you have a deodexed ROM, you need arter97's unofficial Xposed from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463.
If you don't know what deodexed is, there's a bit of reading ahead of you. If you don't want to deodex your Lollipop 5.0 ROM, then you're out of luck.
It takes longer to boot after the install, how long did you leave the samsung boot logo up? it took nearly 15 mins to boot after rom install and around 5 mins after xposed framework. I went through alot of hassle just to discover i was impatient.
Reflash stock ROM with Odin.
after flashing in my unite 3 notification bar disappeared and phone is restarting again and again

Cannot Install Xposed in Samsung Galaxy S6
I have the same issue with a Samsung Galaxy S6. I tried installing "xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip" using TWRP. But Every time I do it the phone either goes completely black or shows the Samsung Logo flickering permanently. To fix this I need to go into TWRP again and install "xposed-uninstaller-20160829-arm64.zip". I tried leaving the phone with the black screen/logo flickering for over 1 hour hoping it might be installing something but the only way to turn the phone back on is with the uninstaller.
I thought that it might be due to not having OEM unlock enabled, but I cannot find the option in "developer tools". Then I tried to do it through ADB command lines but when I enter the command "fastboot-windows oem unlock " it gets stuck with the message "waiting for device". So I also tried installing PdaNet both on my windows 7 PC and the phone itself (Android 6.0.1) and I made sure I have the phone drivers installed on my PC.
All I want is to use Xposed modules on my Galaxy S6. Is it even possible? If so, what should I do?
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.

Most likely your issue is caused because you did not install the correct framework version. You need the one from wanam. Just search for "Xposed Samsung wanam" and you'll find your answer.

Please help me out! Huge issue!

Hello guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G930F) - ARM64x which is Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow).
I flashed the correct Xposed Framework following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Once I flashed, I could not boot my phone at all. It is stuck at the Android Logo when it starts up with a red error at the top stating: "kernel is not seandroid enforcing".
I can enter TWRP (Recovery) and I can enter the Downloading-Mode.
The huge issue is that I do not have the Uninstaller Zip in my storage anywhere (I did not know that I would need it in case something like this would happen).
I tried entering the Downloading-Mode to download the Uninstaller into my storage, but I could not even do that since the storage does not even show up at all, as if I have the USB Debugging off (it was not off, but I suppose it is off now).
I suppose I can use Odin. But I tried flashing TWRP again, nothing changed. I do not have a Stock ROM/Firmware, so I downloaded one and tried flashing it. It did not work.
I tried going to the Recovery to Wipe everything and such, and it still did not work.
What am I to do?
Please help me out!
Dozens of thanks!

Samsung Galaxy S6 stuck in bootloop, after superSU failed to reinstall and rebooted.

Hi, i'm kinda new to all of this, so literally any help is appreciated.
I recently rooted my S6, and managed to get it stuck in a boot loop on the Samsung screen, with the logo in the centre, slowly fading from light to dark repeatedly.
This happened when i accidentally logged out of my snapchat, causing it to detect my device was rooted and wouldn't let me log back in. I got around this by updating my superSU and disabling it as i logged into my snapchat. Once i was back into my snapchat i went to re enable superSU, but it failed the reinstall and prompted me to reboot, so i did, then ended up getting stuck at the boot screen for the past 3 hours.
I don't know if what i tried was right, or even helped or made the problem worse.
I have tried reinstalling the custom kernel, re flashing the superSU through recovery, using ODIN to flash the original OS but each time i tried it failed, i might be using the wrong firmware, not sure, but i have a SG920F and installed the firmware for that, but it failed when doing so. I also never had the chance to create a back up as my phone didn't have enough storage to do so... It's at the point where im happy to factory reset im just not sure what to do.
I'm genuinely sad that i messed this up, and managed to brick my phone already. If anyone can help please reply to this...
Thanks.

I think it should be fixable. Firmware should be available at sammobile.com

TWRP flashing on a TAB S2 T810 (no able to get TWRP to boot)

I have latest TWRP from the site "twrp-3.1.0-0-gts210vewifi.img.tar" and Odin3_v3.12.10, the flashing proceeds without issue, however upon rebooting with power->vol-up->Home I'm stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 screen, I've tried this 3 times without success. All steps succeed, but the tablet will not boot TWRP.
I also tried 2 versions from this forum same issues, none of them seem to be taking, as I either get an upgrading software screen followed by a bad command, erro, or simply nothing.
It will reboot into Android, which is something, but not TWRP where I want to go.

810 uses this TWRP. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ta...y-twrp-2-8-7-x-lollipop-5-1-1-t3205686/page43
You're using the 813. And your title says you want 810.
Thanks that did it.
