[Q] Unbrick

Hello, i am android newbie, but i use my 5801 for a few months. But with help of this forum i make from my stock phone pretty good machine for me. Everything was perfect, i instal cwm,root, kernel g3 2.4 oc,setcpu, bassbeats,... A still no problems. But two days back i tried to instal BLN via SGS kernel flasher within android. During flashing kernel it was o.k. but at the end phone freeze a take did not reboot. Just screen stay for 10 min same. So i decided to hold power button and turn off phone. After that all the user apps were gone. So i decided to recovery via cwm from backup. after that phone started , still no user apps, only system apps and no possibility to install anything cause task manager in phone showed 0kb data , like rom was not mounted or i dont know... I started panic and wipe everything boot, cache, sd,data ... just all. And reflash kernel 2.4 back to stock
After done that it was totally in ....hole. Phone could boot to recovery but, could not start android. Just logo "samsung" is still on the screen. I tried to instal firmware( samsung 5800 xwjpi with files sbl.bin and boot.bin through odin but still same...Only boot animation is changed now...And still is just shining "samsung" logo. Is there any chance to repare that? I think i should install bootloader but i am not sure how. Or is it automatically doing by flashing rom? Pls help if u can. Many thanks.

Try flashing cm 7
hey..... dont forget to thank me!!!!!!!!

So, it looks problem is solved. I tried to flash froyo kyrillos rom 9.7 and phone finally works. Now I only need to solve problems with freezing, after flashing it happens two times during one hour Updating to 9.7.1. actually not possible cause download servers down...Maybe tommorrow. And why did you say i should install just CM 7 ?

I think it's kernel related problem. Try to flash CM7 or Kyrillos 10 or use PuruKisadHybrid

It is possible that was only temporary problem as looks , freezing has never repeat again . But after your advices i tried flash cm7 i now use cm7 kyrillos 10.6. Just testing , only well known gaming issues yet. But now i know flashing is so easy :victory:

Stuck in a loop, need help

Hi all
I’m a complete noob at this and it seems like I have got myself into a bit of a pickle. Sorry for the massive description but I thought it would make it easier to get a good answer.
My Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT 19505 LTE
PDA I9505XXUEMK8
CSC I9505BTUEMK5
MODEM I9505XXUEMK8
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin. In Odin I added the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5" file to the PDA field then rebooted the device. Then I added the "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx" file to the PDA field, rebooted the device and the phone automatically opened in TWRP recovery. In recovery mode I wiped the cache, system and dalvik cache. I then went to install, browsed to the "I9505 Official_Google_Edition_4.3_by_Jamal2367_Finaly_v2.0" file on my SD card, rebooted the device and the Google logo came up on the screen for a few minutes and all was good. Got my new ROM, ran a root checker and all was good.
After some research I decided I wanted to use the Pacman ROM as it seemed to a lot more customisable. Using the same method I went to TWRP recovery wiped the cache, system, and dalvik cache. I then went to Install, browsed for the pacman ROM and the Gapps file on my SD card and everything installed ok, the phone restarted and the pacman logo came up everything was fine. Although I did notice on start up that I got this message.(and have had this error message ever since)
kernel is not seandriod enforcing
set warranty bit : kernel
After using the Pacman ROM for a day I noticed a lot of bugs like my apps would disappear, I couldn't use my banking apps and my phone was generally performing very badly. So I decided to remove the ROM and use CyanogenMod ROM under the recommendation of a friend. So again I pressed home+power+vol up to enter recovery mode but this time it didn’t enter the TWRP recovery it entered the stock recovery mode. This was slightly concerning but I proceeded to use the list menu and cleared the cache etc, browsed the SD card and went to the CyanogenMod 10.2 ROM I previously downloaded. It began to install but in red I got the error message stating that I didn’t have the right permission or signature. The phone rebooted back to the Pacman ROM. I tried the above three times and it still continued to boot back into Pacman ROM sometimes I struggled to even get back into recovery mode.
Soooooo I decided to try and go back to the Google Edition 4.3 ROM and play it safe, using the method from my first paragraph. But when it installed through TWRP I got an error message saying cant find MD5 file. The device rebooted and the Google edition logo came up on the screen but it seems to be locked in a loop. The Google logo wont go away and the phone vibrates once then three times quickly every 10 seconds.
I can still enter both TWRP recover and Download Mode. But I don’t want to mess around with it anymore without getting some advice. Any help would be much appreciated as I really need my phone working.
Thanks again
Aiden

Did you create a backup while on your first run with google edition? If so wipe cache, system, and dalvik and restore to your backup. Should put you back to where you began.

I know I should, but I didnt. Is it still fixable ?

*Update*
Couldnt help myself had to have a tinker around. Managed to get Cyanogenmod 10 working with Gapps. Gonna see how I get on with this. Although still would like to know I have been having all these problems.

Sometimes things just dont go as planned: p I have easily soft bricked my phone around 10 times and always able to fix it. You really should have made a stock backup before flashing anything. I recommend doing it now so you at least have a known working configuation backed up for future use. Trust me backups are your friends!

Problem with BlissPop: Stuck at "BlissPop is starting..."

Hello to everyone, posting this here as I don't have access to ask in the forum post for BlissPop - I.E fresh user
I'm having issues with my "recalled" shield tablet (wifi), I had it flashed to BlissPop successfully previously but when I tried reflashing it the other day I was met with a major roadbump: It just won't load the ROM.
The tablet freezes at the screen following the installing and optimization of each application - basically my screen is stuck at a small wall of text saying the following:
"BlissPop is starting...
Powered by Team Bliss
Starting apps.
Please wait for the optimization process to finish."
And before you ask, yes I have waited long enough (left it on through the night just to be sure - this thing won't load).
My procedure is as follows.
Bootloader is CWM and it is rooted beforehand.
1st off going into recovery mode.
#2 Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache - done
#3 Installed BlissPop via sideload, then gapps_pico afterwards (I've tried wiping cache+dalvik before installing gapps to no help.)
#4 Rebooting from CWM, here I've tried both allowing and denying CWM to "fix" root settings.
I've tried the first ROM I installed (when wifi/lte versions were available) and the newer releases - same problem with both.
After this I am met with this screen that won't budge, anyone got a possible solution to this issue?

Hey I just received my replacement tablet and was going through this process too. I did some digging around and found / remembered that having an external SD card socketed can cause this problem. So I powered my device off, removed the card and then rebooted without major issue.
Hope this helps.

I don't have any SD card in my tablet though, thanks anyways.

Did you format system?
If not then do format system/data/cache

Tried doing a format of system as well as data/cache/dalvik, still getting same result :/

Not sure its still helpful or not...i saw the xda thread regarding to this thread and whoever tried to flash the last zip got stuck at boot. So I'm guessing if you will flash a different one (by this time maybe they upload a new one) maybe you could get rid of it..

When I switched to BlissPop I had to format /data because TWRP was unable to wipe it. TWRP offers that option unter "advanced wipe". Might be the same with CWM.

any help my phone stuck on this boot loop and i dont know what to do now , any fix ? i dont wanna have broken phone i did everything that u guys said nothing works

GlTools

Hey, 2 months ago I installed gltools on my Prestigio Multipad Ultra Quad 8.0 3G tablet. First time it was succesful, but I wanted to install latest version (without uninstalling old one) , then it bricked my tab. I was stucked in bootloop, I searched web to find solution and it looks I have to uninstall gltools via revovery using zip file. ABORTED... So I decided bring tablet to servis, I waited 3 weeks till than answered me ( I had to go there and ask myself :silly: ) . Answer was like they cant do anything.... Or when they do , it will cost as new tablet, because its hard damaged in system... So i let him lay in box. But yesterday I was bored and wnated my tablet back, so I googled more info, I found that uninstalll_gltoos zip can do only CWM or TWRP. But how it install on bricked tablet? ... As i googled more I found one tutorial in my language , how to install CWM , I played with it around maybe 20 minutes and CWM was flashed into bricked tablet. Then I just succesfuly uninstalled it, cleared data and did factroy reset, and tablet is working again :victory: ...I just asked myself what a dumbass works in this servis lmao... If 17 year old boy did it in 20 mins and he coulnt in 3weeks . So my question is : When I will again trying install gltools, and get again into bootloop, just need repeat steps in CWM as I did first time and it will work again? Or there is chance I can brick it harder and uninstalling gltools,wipe cache/fac reset will not enought to fix it? Thanks!
PS: Just want isntall gltools as first time as did, but I am afraid even if I repaired it.

@delete0000 well done ! Now that you have your custom recovery installed, if anything "goes wrong", it would made the system crash. You simply need to reboot into recovery and flash the gltools uninstaller! There's no way you can mess up the boot

after custom rom slow or no start anymore

Hi,
I flashed on my SM-T805 with wifi and LTE the new Ironrom 2.5 . On my first try something was damaged, dont know why and what. Then via Downloadmode TWPR 2.5 with autoroot. Now I wiped everything in TWRP and after that I wiped the System via advanced...
Of course I have a backup, done with TWRP 3. I restored it but it also didnt worked. After a reboot I just get the Samsung Logo with the flying Pixels. Maybe a Bootloop?
After that the wiping Session again, flashing Samsung Firmware, flashing Iron Rom 2.5.
Now I waited endless just with the Logo and after that - maybe 20 Min or longer - was the first start of Iron Rom. After a new reboot again: Just the Samsung Logo till the akku was empty....
a.) How I'm able to format delete ALL? Or what should I do?
b.) could it be that the Backup didnt restored correctly cause it was made with TWRP 3 and restored with TWRP 2.x? Dont think so...
But who knows...
c.) does anyone know a functional Cyanogen for the SM-T805?
Please give me links too (ROMs, Tools, etc) in case of an answer.
Thank you in advance, good times and peace
