Hello,
I'm new to the android community and thought rooting my phone would be a good idea. I got as far as installing twrp without any problems.
I can flash with supersu perfectly fine. However, the problem comes in where when I restart, I still only get to twrp recovery instead of android.
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this.

Hello,
I have rooted my Xoom 2 ME and installed Safestrap 3.12 as explained here.
Apparently something went wrong after I tried to restore a backup to the Stock ROM Slot. I now have the Blue (instead of Red) Motorola Logo when I boot, followed by error messages telling me the "UI System" and "Configure" Applications have stopped.
Trying to solve the problem, I did a factory reset from the Stock Recovery Boot and now I see that I have lost all my Safestrap Backups and Slots.
So I have no backups to restore and no other Slots than the Stock ROM, which I cannot boot.
What are my options ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
A quick update on this
I'm having help form runandhide05 who is amazingly kind with me, answering all my questions in PM.
I have a Wi-Fi only 8.2 Xoom 2 bought in France so I have flashed this ROM : 0.268.4.MZ607.Retail.en.FR.
I could boot but when I tried to update OTA it failed. It downloads, start updating and fails so I am stuck in 3.2.2.
Also whenever I reach the page of an application in the Android Market, the Android Market quits.
Finally adb doesn't see my device.
I've tried flashing another ROM with the same result : 0.281.8.MZ607.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
All this is very new to me, I feel like I have learned a lot in 24 ours but I really have no idea were to go to solve this and feel like I am asking a lot to runandhide05 at the moment so if anyone as "qualified" as him had any idea to help it would be amazing.
… again runandhide05, thank you so much for all your help so far.
Problem solved !
The update succeeded when done via the "Motorola Device Manager" on PC.
After that I could use Google Play without it to quit and adb saw my device again.
I re-rooted and re-installed Safestrap with no troubles.
I recently bought an Oppo N1 off of Swappa. I just got it today and its been one problem after another. Heres the story...
Rooted with Towelroot and installed Super SU/binary. Rebooted. The phone was running the stock Cyanogen 10.2 but it told me that CM had an update, so I figured id go ahead and update that aswell. It downloaded and installed but when it rebooted, the phone is just stuck on the OPPO screen. I can get into the recovery but I have absoutley no idea where to go from here. I've tried installing other versions of CM11 but it just says installiation failed. Still stuck on boot. It is also getting stuck and staying black and im having to leave it sit for awhile before it will boot. I'm literally begging anyone to help me out here. I'm lost. I will be closely monotoring this thread
After some research, apparently CM11 needs a custom recovery installed which i do not have. Is there a way i can install TWRP, or possibly revert the N1 back to 10.2???
Please, somebody help me
Hi all,
I made a mistake flashing a Nightly ROM on my Sprint LG G2; it appears the ROM was very unstable.
I am currently rooted (using stump root), have TWRP recovery on my phone and no operating systems.
I have tried several solutions, none of which have worked so far including: using LG Flash Tool, trying to ADB sideload (which is the option I prefer, although my phone just says "Starting ADB Sideload Feature" and doesn't do anything else when I attempt this).
I had backed up my stock OS but after trying to flash the Nightly ROM, which didn't work at all, my phone entered a boot loop. When I went to the TWRP recovery menu, I found my back up was erased along with everything else on the phone, leaving only TWRP itself on the phone.
I am seeking your advice because this is the third or so time I have flashed a ROM and positively upset that there are now no operating systems on my phone. I have consulted many guides, threads, posts, and tutorials to no avail. Please do help me.
Thanks very much in advance
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. This might seem like a stupid question, but what's stopping you from just copying a ROM zip across to the phone while it's booted into TWRP and connected to your PC?
No response in two days, thread closed.
OK first off this is my gfs phone, I had rooted it using Kingroot with no problem. I flashed a custom ROM I used cynogen 12.1 and also flashed a synthetic v3 kernel. Her phone was working just fine until she let some know it all at her work mess with it! I was wondering why the hell I couldn't get into recovery thru my twrp. I have to manually do it now. Even then everything I try to do it says it fails. So I can't back it up at all. Nor flash the old stock KitKat THST it originally came with. Her screen has been blacking out to every since that dumbass friend of hers downloaded pimp my rom. He had no clue wtf he was doing. Now thru that app it allows me to delete all added **** he did to it. But somehow her phone lost her permanent root!!?? Beats me, but it explains why I can't use device control anymore. And why I can't wipe the cache to the dalvik machine. I can't flash any roms, I can't do ****. I tried using kingroot but no work! It worked on my 4th try last time but I was using her stock Android 4.44 KitKat rom. I recall reading somewhere that kingroot doesn't support lollipop 5.2 which is what I put on her phone using Cynogen 12.1!!! So basically if I can't gain access to permanently root her phone I won't be able to fix it at all! Which is bs! Van anyone help me? I manually go into recovery mode it won't even let me do a factory reset. No matter what I do it keeps saying Fail!!! I'm growing very impatient, I need to fix her phone asap. I'd appreciate it if any of you guys can help me out please. Thank you for your time...hope someone helps me.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Try to ask over here:
ZTE Zmax [Z970] ROOT GUIDE, FAQ, DISCUSSION, if permrooted with Kingroot.
Good luck!
Hey all,
I'm trying to root my phone and I keep running into issues.
I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643
and when it comes to the flashing recovery section, I keep ending up in Qualcom crash dump.
I took the advice on another thread and tried using Blu-spark 9.8.6.
Whilst that booted into temp recovery, everything was encrypted and illegible, so I couldn't do anything.
I am on Pie, stock ROM.
How can I get this phone rooted? I was hoping to install xXx.
What info do you need to help me?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: To be a little clearer, when it boots in temp recovery, it asks me for a password to decrypt the data. I've tried all passwords I know, non work. Hence why it is encrypted.
Even if I work out how to get past the encryption stage, how do I know I won't run into other issues?
Is there a guaranteed root and recovery method for Pie?
EDIT EDIT: Worked it out. I had to turn off security settings. No ****.
Hopefully I don't tun into any more issues. About to flash Magisk.
Ok, phone booted up fine and seems to be rooted with magisk.
One last question.
xXx says that I must have TWRP to flash. I do have TWRP, but it is Blu spark version.
Does that matter?
EDIT: Flashing ROM now. Hopefully all is well.
Thanks anyone who was going to reply to my initial question. Everything seems to be working.
