My samsung GT S6102(galaxy y duos) is rooted and while modifying build.prop , my phone ended up getting into a boot loop. I have a backup of the original build.prop file but am unable to restore it. I am able to enter into recovery mode. Will i be able to install a custom ROM on my phone even though it is getting boot loops? or is there any way to fix the boot loops?

Yes you should be able to install a custom Rom if you have CWM installed and i think you could try to push your Build.prop Backup to your phone using ADB but i dont exactly know how to do that
@OP, if it's rooted then definitely. My HTC Explorer once stuck into boot loop too, I flashed with JaggyRom and it gave me a great experience.
For me, I had to take out the battery and reinsert and then was able to boot into recovery, and from there I flashed it with the custom ROM.
Thank you all
Thank you all who replied, i tried ADB but it was unable to recognize my phone. I am a complete newbie to android but i somehow modified an update.zip file to copy put the build.prop file back to system folder, flashed it in recovery mode and my phone started working again! I am going to be more careful next time, by the way how do i backup and restore using CWM?

Google is your friend.
Possiblw Solution
A possible solution is to flash back to your original Stock and try rooting again. the stock should get you out of boot loops

I tried using superboot to root my nexus s, but ended up with having a stuck google screen upon reboot.
Is there anyway I can recover my phone to the original state. I can get into the boot screen by pressing up volume and the power button and I have downloaded an original rom; however, I don't know how to upload this rom
into the phone.
I unlocked the bootloader, and have the android SDK installed. I do have a response when I use the command "fastboot devices"
Is there any possible way to save my phone? Please help, Thanks in advance
is there a recovery image saved under the recovery option?
Hey I'm having the exact same problem as the OP.
I don't have a recovery image saved in recovery, so I tried to flash the latest CWM recovery image through adb, but the device isn't found.
My phone was rooted, then upgraded to 2.3.4, then got 2.3.6 OTA, but lost root. Tried to root with Superboot and now my phone's stuck.
How can I get my phone to work again?

You have to flash CWM using fastboot, not adb.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you have the custom recovery flashed you can flash superuser in CWM to get root back or just flash one of the custom ROMs that include superuser.
Yes, I did exactly that.
I really have no idea what I'm doing so I'm extremely grateful for people who do.
Thanks
I am in the same boat as these other chaps. After installing the 2.3.6 OTA update I tried to root with Superboot and now my Nexus S just sits on the Google screen with the open padlock.
I've tried installing CWM recovery, as well as the boot.recovery.img that comes with Superboot, and it seems to install successfully. After rebooting my phone still sits on the Google screen, however.
Am I doing something wrong here (I'd previously rooted with few problems)?
EDIT: I should mention that after flashing the .img I'm trying to boot into recovery - at this point it just sits on the Google screen.
EDIT 2: Never mind, I sorted it. I tried using a different recovery.img (from this thread) and I was then able to get into recovery and restore a backup.
Flashed the NexusBeam ICS rom and deleted the radio and bootloader img that came with the zip and now my phone wont boot at all, I was under the impression by deleting the bootloader.img it just wouldnt install the new bootloader which is what i wanted but it seemed to haved deleted mine in the process
Yup.. Deleting those files from the package would result in the bootloader and radio being wiped and replaced by nothing.. You will probably have to use Odin to flash a stock image. Hopefully someone can help you with that, as I've never used it.
This is precisely the reason I, and some others, were asking devs not to include those files in the rom package..and we were getting crap from other people about "complaining".

What phone do you have? to want to delete NexusBeam ICS bootloader? I have nexus s GT-I9020 & was gonna delete the radio, but thaught I would give the new ICS one a try first! (could always flash compatible radio later on!) & it works flawlessly! Then I added GlaDOS 2.4 kernel which changed the boot animation which I didn't like (simple, just deleted bootanimation.zip from system/media, then pulled original bootanimation.zip from NexusBeam zip, & replaced!)
Just dowload NexusBeam again & use cwm recovery or fastboot to reflash NexusBeam & if you want to change radio also, do it at the same time after copying your desired rado to your sd-card & wiping dalvik cache first, then if you change your stock kernel in NexusBeam to dev one, just use method I mentioned previously if you want to change your boot animation to whatever you want! Good luck!!
I cant boot into my bootloader or recovery at all....I can boot into ICS but if i try to but into my recovery from ROM manager my phone just turns off, and if i turn it off it wont turn back on until I run a unbrick program i found. Im stuck after that though, dont know how to flash bootloader without fastboot

After you use unbrick program & get into recovery, use fastboot to flash new cwm recovery.img! (fastboot flash recovery cwm recovery.img!) Then when you're in cwm recovery, mount usb storage & put your newly downloaded NexusBeam.zip on your sd-card & install through cwm recovery!

Glad to hear you fixed it. Don't delete the radio or bootloader files from the package again. Instead, you can just flash a different radio after flashing the rom. The updated bootloader is a keeper though.

Tried looking everywhere, but couldn't really find anything. Any help is appreciated!
Alright some background info
I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader successfully. I wanted to do more, so I flashed TWRP onto my phone using JRummy's ROM Installer. I followed all the steps and successfully booted into TWRP recovery. I created a Nandroid backup and when I tried rebooting my phone it gets stuck on the 4G LTE boot animation.
I then tried wiping the cache etc. and restoring the backup I had just created. To no avail, the phone kept getting stuck on the boot animation. I've tried restoring the backup multiple times with no success.
On my last attempt I checked another box on the TWRP restore page, I think it was the VG5 verification or something. Halfway through what I though was going to be a successful restore, my phone reset and got stuck in the boot animation again. Now when I boot into recovery it's the stock recovery, not the custom TWRP as before. Tried clearing everything/factory reset and it still stuck on boot animation.
As a college student I'd like to get this figured out as soon as possible (hopefully before midweek, Friday at latest). If I can figure this out with your help I'll be very grateful.
If I can't find any other way, I'm willing to flash stock back using ODIN and seeing how that turns out. Also my home button is a little sticky so I doubt the Verizon worker would be able to boot into recovery or download mode.
Any suggestions?
For those of you TL;DR
1) Rooted phone / unlocked bootloader
2) Flashed custom TWRP recovery onto phone
3) Created a Nandroid backup from recovery
4) Tried rebooting and gets stuck on 4G LTE boot animation screen
5)Wiped cache etc. and retried multiple times. Doesn't work
EDIT: I flashed stock through ODIN and everything seems to be in order. I'll be trying to root and recover everything through TWRP again and if it doesn't work oh well. My end goal is to have a custom ROM
Maybe this will help you
Okay for your problem, if you can go to Download Mode and your recovery back to its stock form, your last option will be flashing it through Odin. There are several method and guides How to Flash via Odin. I will link to you all the guide and try it so your phone will be back to normal. Choose only 1 method
1.) [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick)
2.) Verizon Offcial VRBMB1 Odin Files, VRBMF1 Odin Files, and VRBMF1 Update Files
Must read first the guide and download all the necessary.
If your phone gets revived, you can try this method and choose TWRP recovery and update the recovery.

I tried something like that with another program called smart switch and when I looked at the back of the phone for the (S/N there isn't one just the dex and the hex... so I called boost mobile to ask them to look up the S/N for me... they gave it to me and I put in what they told me it was and it said that it wasn't a valid S/N so I called them back relayed the S/N they told me and they said I had it correct.... so I don't know what to do...
Find the firmware for your phone online, download file (should have .md5 at end of file) then flash file with odin on windows.

I have the same phone and carrier. Find and download the following 3 files once you have completed a wipe and factory reset with twrp. 1. Odin 3.12.3 2. Youe stock firmware: j700pvpu1apb7_j700pspt1apb7_j700rvpu1apb7_Home tar.md5---2.90gb. 3. cf-auto-root
j71techn-j71tezm-smj7008.zip found here I believe. 4. twrp 3.0.2-d-j71tespr.img.tar. You must be careful when you install twrp. You must go directly into recovery to prevent a boot loop! Do not use anything that you used to make a backup to restore your phone. Just start all over again!!!
I was trying to switch from SuperSU to Magisk in what I thought would be a simple process following an online tutorial. I went into TWRP recovery and flashed the zip to clear superSU root. Then I flashed the boot.img that I extracted from one of my nandroid backups, and then flashed magisk. But when I rebooted, it's stuck in a loop, just the initial splash screen for a brief moment, then it reboots. Can't access recovery mode or bootloader because it reboots too fast. I'm pretty freaked out here I only meant to install youtube vanced not brick my phone. It won't connect to ADB on my computer because it's too busy rebooting. Is there any way to save my phone? Obviously the boot.img I flashed was the problem, I'm wondering if I extracted it from the wrong backup (different phone). I know that if I can get back into recovery mode I can restore the correct backup, but at the moment all I can do is let the battery drain down because it's not responding to anything.
Please help!
Well I figured it out on my own, but I don't know how to delete the thread.
