think i ruined my phone D: - General Questions and Answers

hi all,
im brand new to this website, got my galaxy S a couple weeks ago and wanted to start customizing it, so i signed up.
anyway. i tried rooting my phone with the mac one click root, which originally worked, then i accidently unrooted it.. kinda. i can't boot into recovery mode so i booted into recovery from pressing unroot coz that force enters boot recovery mode.. it went bad from there
i tried to do the one click lag fix. there was an error and when i restarted the phone it would not boot up, also my boot animation was gone...
so lag fix didnt work and its screwed up my phone because now i cant use mac root/unroot at all, it just doesnt work.. has any one ANY suggestions? please!
thanks in advance.

You're going to need to use Odin to flash your phone it seems

Use this to put cwm and then flash the rom you like.
If phone still boots into recovery you may have a stuck vol- button.

i cant get into recoveery now im stuck in it relaoding as i tried to flash the recovery again and its stuck
try and flash again, if it doesn't stick, then try again. If it gives you an error report the error. Try what mansa_noob posted, it usually works for everyone, it fixes everything (partition and issues) and then flashes the recovery for you.

Flashing Rom ends up in Loop

Hi was wondering if anyone could help me. I rooted my friends phone awhile back and it was all fine and hunky dorry until he fudged up. I guess he got a new phone so he tried to give the Optimus V to his son but he did a factory reset from the settings menu you. No the phone won't do anything. Try to power it on but it just shows the first LG logo then off again. If I plug the phone in CWM comes up but I've tried installing a new rom but it winds up doing the same thing. Also I can't get it to show up in adb or fastboot.

[Q] Bricked/Boot Loop Galaxy Note 10.1!!

Hello fellow XDA members! I am a Noob.
So I believe I have a Bricked Galaxy Note 10.1. Model GT-N8013
I Rooted Stock ROM, and flashed Collective Edition 5 Dark Side.
So heres what happened, everything seemed fine, until I made a mistake, I was Pimping my ROM with the PimpMyRom app. Every change seemed fine and my note worked, but when i saw the double boot screen slide in the app, i did what it said, i have the imf support or something like that. Then after i had the ''support'' needed, i clicked install button on the double boot slide, it seemed to do something and requested nothing, so i went ahead chose a second clip, and clicked set as second boot screen. It said it wont take effect until the 3rd boot, so i rebooted 3x, but at the third time, it was stuck at the boot screen with the galaxy note 10.1 logo ! It did not start or did anything, over time it would turn off and automatically reboot, but it would get stuck again !.
To attempt to fix it, I Booted into recovery (CWM) and did everything i could. I wiped nearly all cache, factory reseted, then out of fear, i flashed the stock firmware ROM from Sammobile website, with ODIN, and to my knowledge, it got worse!! It booted, seemed to do something then in the logo screen it got stuck once again!! Stock recovery says unable to mount /efs, i don't believe EFS is completely corrupted, I left it stuck for awhile and it shut down in like an hour. Help, what can i do to fix this!?!?!?!
Device cannot boot up.
I could boot into recovery and download mode only.
I thought that I too had bricked my 8013 the past weekend. Trying to do something that I shouldn't. It took me a bit of work and a lot of worry (my wife gave me my 8013 for Xmas and if I had to tell her that it was now a doorstop, she would have killed me). I used this method to get back to stock and then was able to work my way back to the ROM I use. I disremember in which order I Odin'd things, but in the end was able to un-brick. All I can say is give it a shot.

hey guys, i think i really did everything wrong about rooting...
i tried to root my s7 edge with odin, so i flashed the newest twrp and that worked but my phone wasntn rootet, so i flashed magisk v16 from twrp after and got stucked in the samsung logo and my idea was to flash lineage 17.1 and superSu and now my internal storage is no more shown in twrp and my phone now is not even stucking in the samsung logo anymore, it stucks in the really first "samsung Galaxy edge screen" and even twrp stucks in booting screen, only thing working right now is download mode
i did everything youtubers told me and i still stuck in this screen and wanna know if theres a solution, or is there no chance left for my phone?
ofc i havent done any backups..
so at first, pls dont judge me, im really new to the scene and on youtube everything looked so easy and the second thing is my language
my english is not that good
is there a way to completely go back to stock and stock kernel or might the internal storage got damage by all the things ive done?
couldnt find any solution on xda or youtube
Try to boot into twrp again.
Flash encryption file (no verify opt encrypt 6.0.zip) for internal memory. Think this is your problem. Your memory is encrypted.

Hey,
I actually had kind of same problem when I tried to flash stock ROM,
I got pretty much everything wrong when I was trying to make it boot again,
so I almost bricked it.
Only download mode was working and TWRP couldn't boot,
So I left it until battery drained and phone turned off,
after that I plugged the phone into a PC, opened download mode and flashed only BL, CP and CSC in odin, one by one.
I skipped AP because it got stuck every time I tried to flash stock ROM,
But flashing TWRP was always successful.
So I flashed TWRP, successfully, and tried to boot,
and it booted, it took several restarts but it actually booted.
If you boot into TWRP you will be able to get it to work again,
by repairing or formatting partitions and flashing stock ROM after that.
