Bootloop problem(due to setting wrong permission)

I cant boot my galaxy i9003...the phone hangs in the 1st step(where the name of the phone appears) and then restarts and so on. Before this mishap i was working with rootbroswer and setting permissions in SYSTEM/APP & SYSTEM/LIB folders. I can acess to both the stock recovery and download mode. Sadly i dnt hv CWM installed. Is there any way to fix this bootloop.plz help me out......
I m running on Gingerbread 2.3.5 XWKPH.
(P.s-i m very new here,so i wud appreciate if u add the links of downloadable scripts/softwares/tutorials)

In the cwm try wiping cache...n reboot.but i don't think that will help so u might have to reflash the Os

Don't have cwm

go to download mode & flash xda_bam bck kernel CF ROOT v14 version kernel. It will provide u cwm recovery. But it will not solve ur problem.
Better u should reflash. Try DDKP3 latest rom.

I tried dat too.

i think via adb we can do that. But I dont have that knowledge. Its always better that u should switch to new stable ddlf2 value pack. Ddkp3 is a little bit older rom. Lots of mods are avilable for DDLF2 rom. And from next time always keep a backup in hand using cwm.

Can you go to CWM recovery? If yes, there is a "fix permissions" under "advanced" menu.

Fix Permissions :: Resets system permissions back to their default values.
I think this will work. For that first flash xda_bck CF root v14 fix verson kernel.

Could you tell us the system files and libs you have changed? Fix Permissions (I think??) only fixes APK permissions, since the OP said he also played around with /system/lib, I believe it will take a lot more. I can help you as I know how to use ADB and most of its commands. If you could tell us the files you have changed, I will be able to write a small guide here. All what you need to do is just to Chmod (CHange MODe) and Chown (CHange OWNer) some files (If you have modded any libs, you would also have to adb push). Its pretty simple trust me

i think your motherboard is broken. mine is broken too and my warranty is not valid anymore. hope you can fix yours and mine too

I used "i think???" cz i wsnt sure if it czd the loop

I was trying to push GTALK 1.3 WITH VOICE & VIDEO in my mobile using root explorer....as far i remembr,first i changed the permisn in both SYSTEM/APP & SYSTEM/LIB to RWXRWXRWX....i cud push d APK FILE but failed to push the LIBRARY FILE(forgot d name)....it kept saying,"OPERATION FAILED". I tried it alot of tym bt stil same result. I assume then i somehow unmarked the write & execution option in permissns aftr i failed to proceed wd RWXRWXRWX set of permissions....and it hv to b in system/library folder. Aftr dat whn i exit,i saw system bcm unstable & i wasnt able to acess the apps requiring root acess.then i rebooted it,wich leaded to this.

Not to be rude, but believe me, it seems like your dragging.
As most trusted contributors and experienced people here in this community have already told you to reflash. Please try that.
If you're able to charge(the green charging symbol appears), most probably you'd bee able to enter the download mode(vol down + home button + power button combo). You've not reported if you ever tried that.
Goto ddlf2 or xxkpu.
Still if you're not clear, please ask for a detailed guide. Would be happy to help

flash CF ROOT, and then access phone shell via "adb shell" while in recovery mode, then you can fix what you broke. CWM has adb enabled in most cases. If you just want it to boot again, you could simply flash from odin the whole rom, and then update via kies or another .tar rom and it will work normally again.
why dont you have CWM?, are you sure you are root?

Is the lib file by chance, "libtalk_jni.so"? there are two possibilities that occur when you get operation failed. One is that your "/system" directory is full, install a deodex package and you should be good to go, no need for anything else. Problem is, I have never heard of I9003XWKPH update before or if they have a deodex package in our forums. The other, is that you had forgotten to "adb remount", but seeing that you had pushed the app and it had worked, means that it isn't this one. Since you did not push over the lib file, you needn't worry about it. Lib file changes are notorious for causing bootloops on our phone unless we Hexedit them, and even then its not always 100%

I had already replied to this guys pm asking him to flash the latest firmware for his region. But I suppose he is what his name suggests. He is just wasting our time here.

Sorry for the very late reply
its not really the motherboard who has the problem, it is the internal memory. The only thing to fix it is to replace the motherboard. And yes, even your internal mem./motherboard is broken, you can still access the recovery mode, download mode and charge it. To know If your internal mem./motherboard is really broken, go to recovery mode a nd when you get this message:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

then your mem./motherboard is really broken. Good luck!
hope you can fix yours and mine too

Sorry man.....a communal riot broke up in my town & as a doc i had to go n serve ppl in a place wd no network...i came bk just today nd reflashed wd d new ddlf2 value pack....works amazing.thnx once again....hope u and othr bros are not offended....hv a great day

Steps for flashing a .img file to a specific partition ( here, recovery ) :
Here are the two methods :
1st Method ( Using ADB ) -- This needs the phone to be connected to the computer.
Go to the folder containing the recovery.img file you just downloaded.
Shift + Right Click on any empty space in the folder and Select Open Command Window Here
Connect the phone to the computer and make sure you have USB Debugging enabled and not USB Storage
Type these into the Command Window :
adb devices -- This should show the Device attached as KarbonnTitaniumS5Plus-xxxx or any such line.
adb get-state -- This is to ensure USB Debugging works. It will show device, recovery or offline, but here, we would be looking for device
adb reboot bootloader -- This reboots the device into Fastboot mode, also called as HBOOT or Bootloader. This mode is necessary for flashing the recovery.img file
fastboot oem unlock -- This is to ensure that you can flash xxxx.img files to specific partitions of the device.
fastboot flash <<partitionname>> <<nameofrecoveryimagefile.img>> -- This flashes the specific partition image file to the specified partition. Here, we would be looking for something like fastboot flash recovery philzrecoverys5plus.img for the PhilZ Touch Recovery and fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img for the TWRP Recovery and fastboot flash recovery cwmrecoverys5plus.img for the.... Well, you understand what I mean. This should show some text on the device like Transferring Flash or Writing Flash and the Time and Speed of it, that would confirm your flashing.
fastboot reboot -- This command reboots the device into the normal system, and lo, you're ready to go !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From here, you can reboot to recovery and back again without any issues. This is the tried and tested method, the method which worked perfectly when I tried it on my device. Else, if you have no patience for connecting the Phone to the PC, jabbing on the keyboard and entering n number of commands, you could try this out :
2nd Method ( Using Terminal Emulator ) -- This doesn't need the phone to be connected to the computer.
Place the recovery.img file in the Internal Storage or External SD Card -- Here, I'm placing it as in storage/sdcard0/xxxxrecovery.img
Install Terminal Emulator or any such app onto the phone and Open it.
Type these commands one by one :
su -- This gives root permissions to the Command Executor.
flash_image recovery /storage/sdcard0/xxxxrecovery.img -- This flashes the recovery image file to the recovery partition.
Close the Terminal Window.
Done !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Another Note : If you're following the Second ( Terminal Emulator ) Method, note that there is a space between flash_image and recovery and the path of the image file. The first method is the preferred one, which worked perfectly with no errors for me; while the second method is risky and might return some errors while trying it out.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Another Loooooong Shortened Note : The TWRP Recovery might, in some rare cases, show your battery level as 19% when it is at 99% and the same goes for the others. If you are encountering this error damn frequently, I'd recommend reverting back to the original CWM basic recovery as it doesn't show any battery info at all ! You also have the option of wiping your Battery Statistics in case the Battery Error in the Touch Recoveries made the system too show the same error. Once, after fully charging the phone to 100% and rebooting to recovery, I found that the TWRP recovery showed the battery level at 19% ! Out of curiosity, I rebooted back to the system and it too, showed it at 19% ! I just plugged it into the charger and was like Whoa !, as the battery sprang from 19% to 24% in 7 seconds flat ! I know that neither the reboot to recovery does drain out that much battery, nor does the recovery randomly perform such miracles on it. So, I just flashed CWM basic recovery to it using fastboot mode, opened it, did a Battery Stats wipe and rebooted to the System. It was back to 99% ! So, a full Battery Statistics wipe helped me solve such errors, and might do the same to you too. Just remove the battery from the phone after you power off from the recovery, put it back in, and let the phone start up. Problem Solved ! Damn, why didn't I think of this earlier ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yet Another Short-But-Not-So-Short Note : I'd recommend disabling the Boot Animation on the phone ( using ROM Toolbox Lite or Pro ) so that the possibility of bootloops is diminished. No Boot Animation = Less Chance of Bootloops !

One Last Note : ( Yeah, Right. )
The MIUI ROM and the Sony Xperia v2 ROM work properly. For people who have boot issues, doing a full data wipe/factory reset through the recovery will solve that problem... MIUI is pre rooted, but chainfire's SuperSU app is not installed and there is no keyboard app. The Sony Xperia v2 ROM has SuperSU installed and works properly. However, a high amount of patience is needed to wait for the ROMs to boot up...
As mentioned by cybercrawler, the internal/external swap supposedly works, and appears to be already applied in these ROMs... so, if you are going to flash a new ROM, you had better undo this change...
The clockworkmod recovery file works too, as seen in the screenshots uploaded by cybercrawler... thanks to him for testing that out.
I shall be uploading some screenshots of these in a few days. Both the ROMs run Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2, and the MIUI ROM has a update scheduler app, so I'm guessing it can be updated to 4.4 Kitkat. Anyway... if anybody knows how to bypass Dropbox Error 509 ( This account's public links are generating too much traffic and are temporarily disabled ), please download the Xperia Z v1 ROM and upload it to Google Drive...
Check this thread for further development on this device.
If anybody is willing to volunteer to try a ROM still in development for this device, you can download it here :
https://tr.im/CarbonForKarbonnv1
It is NOT READY FOR FLASHING, but is a Kitkat ROM, so anybody willing to put in their efforts in the development of this ROM can help.

Anyway, Back to Project CarbonForKarbonn for now...
Could anyone upload the specifications of moto g (codename falcon) in a post here ?
I need to know it's features and some information abt. it, like whether it supports dual sim, has external sd card support, etc.
so that I could rectify any problems which are occuring because of such non-compatibility errors.
Looooooong schedule... this might take forever...

You need to have ADB and Fastboot tools and the recovery file in the same folder.
Connect the device to the computer, open USB Debugging in Android, open a command window in the folder with adb and twrprecovery.img image ( Shift + Right Click ), and type these commands in it :
adb root -- Don't worry if this shows any error like adbd cannot run as root in production builds. Just proceed with the next step.
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img -- This will automatically format that partition and install the recovery image to it.
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Done !

Anyway... Building the final parts of the Carbon Nightly ROM, also simultaneously working on MIUI 6 for this device.
Stock ROM build is happening... Just have to generate the updater-script and the update binary.
Status of Each Build :
Carbon ROM : Needs a new Update Binary, creating it, coding it.
TWRP Recovery : Done !
MIUI 6 : Downloading the latest release version. Porting and Update Binary and Updater Script pending.
Stock Flashable Zip : Creating all Update files from scratch, system folder is ready, deodexing pending, App updates pending.
Xperia v3 : Boot Animation Build Progressing, Updating all stock Google apps, Adding Xposed Framework, etc.
Android L ROM : Waiting for a Stable Android L ROM to be released here, still no progress.

Here are the basic mount points of this device which I accidentally discovered while messing about in the Stock ROM :

Which do you think is better : External SD Card as Main Storage or Internal SD Card as Main Storage ?
Anybody can reply by posting here.
This question is for the Carbon ROM and the Stock Flashable Zip ROM.
I felt I should ask you this question as I felt that Internal SD Card has way too less storage for me, but my decision cannot be everybody's decision, can it ?. ( I have 180+ Apps on this device, all linked to SD Card ( 32 gb, ~1.5 gb free space remaining ) ).

Is there any way to change the on-screen soft keys to look them like that of Nexus 5 lollipop soft keys.They look really cool and other thing is the transparency of the on screen buttons.It would be great if you made this above mod in the new ROM

Yeah, I'm working on that. You know that camera you have in other Xperia devices with all that Timescape feature and everything ? I'm adding that to the updated version of this ROM. But, the ROM will still be based on Android Jellybean 4.2.2. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about that because, if I change the base OS, I'll have to rebuild all the apps from scratch to fit alongside the new permissions and all that stuff, which will take off most of my time.
I'll consider your decision about the Main Storage, but there's one drawback about using it that way. You won't be able to remove your SD Card or unmount it while the OS is on. If that's okay with you, please reply. Anyway, if you want to change it afterwards, you can do so by the vold.fstab edit which cybercrawler had mentioned here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55154053&postcount=31
Thanks for your opinion, by the way !

Sir all themes working well. i just uploaded dark theme.
u can use rev 1 themes also on rev 2.
working on TWRP 2.8.5.0 so forgot to upload other themes.
u can download from here.
Eventually i increase the action message font and i forgot which ui.xml i used, still searching for it.
TWRP 2.8.5.0 booting but cant flash any ROM but recovery flash, wiping is working normally.
If u can help me with that i can try it.
Thanks.
I would love to see u pressed thanks button sometimes.

just wondering if the rev 2 recovery.img file can be placed inside your TWRP_2.8.2.0_Q3000 play.zip file replacing the twrp v2.8.2.0 recovery.img there.
will flashing that give twrp v2.8.4.0 rev 2 play theme? just a noob-guess! . btw, the ui.zip inside the dark theme zip file of twrp v2.8.4.0 rev 2 is pretty big (8,221,418 bytes).

xolo q3k is not with me. i posted that i've changed my device. so, i don't think i can help you much.
but, when i see some solid work, i hope to get the xolo q3k for testing for a short period.
you know that i've lent you much positive-critical support. and i owe you a lot for helping me in toubled times.
please get that ui.xml and increase the action message font for this rev 2 as well as all your future releases. :good:
p.s.: i see you're doing great. recognised contributor! keep it up! :highfive:
btw, you seem to be in a rush to get to the next level.

Sir first flash the recovery with dark theme (flashble zip is attached so u can flash from any recovery)
Download play theme zip from above given link.
Rename this zip to ui.zip.
Now copy and replace in ur
Internal storage/twrp/theme/ folder.
Or replace in dark themed recovery.zip inside
Emmc/twrp/theme. Folder
In both cases u will find ui.zip already there u need to just replace.
I am in transit so cant upload now.
Wil upload after 9 pm only.
Thank you
Sorry for inconvinence.

tried this, and boy, was i in for some shock! think i'll let the screenshots speak for themselves....
TWRP v2.8.4.0 Rev.1 (2) brought woes.
TWRP v2.8.2.0 brought back relief! :good:
mounting usb otg in TWRP v2.8.4.0 Rev.1 (2) is cumbersome. no way to get back to the previous screen after mounting, except by clicking the back key of the device. the back arrow at the top left does not work.
and i couldn't find the usb otg drive listed anywhere (as opposed to the case of TWRP v2.8.2.0, where you see it listed everywhere). others can try this recovery and correct me if i'm wrong.
more importantly, it'd help the dev do things better/properly. (although i took a screenshot it doesn't seem to have worked.) the device is back on 'twrp v2.8.2.0 play edition by avi3230'.
not sure when i can test further, but i'll be willing to help when possible. in the meantime avi3230 can concentrate on quality rather than quantity, imho. thanks, anyway.

@m0han
Yeah u r correct sir.
First its my mistake - as i used the zip of rev 1 and i replaced the zip and not the recovery in flashble zip so u see its rev 1.
U cant see some buttons cause the theme is meant for rev 2.
In each update of TWRP there is change in backup folder (which i cant define) so it wont detect previous backups.
u need to manually move the backup to respective folder when u upgrade.
Dont worry usb otg works properly in rev 2. u need to use back button to go back. I already made a video of that but not uploaded.
This happens because no one has even tested the recovery. There are more than 70 downloads of the img file but no one even reported.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
I am also learning by mistake, hope u understand what i am saying.

that's sad. but, i think i know the reason - and i've stated it before. you're dishing out stuff (even partly cooked) in such quick succession that people can't even decide what to go with. i'm sure you yourself don't get time to test your work - you don't have the device with you full-time. and, frankly, the responses to your releases show that your users are not entirely satisfied. if you're keen to do a better/proper job, you may consider my advice suggestion in the proper spirit - "concentrate on quality rather than quantity". i notice that quite a few others have also opined so.
avi3230 said:
....As the number is more there bound to be the issue of repetitiveness and similarities.....

also, the issue of errors/bugs.....
lastly, just want to make a subtle observation: although i was the first among 70+users to give you a detailed feedback, which you found 'correct', you haven't 'thanks'ed me. i usually press thanks for work that has benefitted me as well as the user community for any device or some post that throws light on a matter of general/popular interest. so, continue your good work and the thanks will gush forth. just don't keep looking out for it. don't thank me just 'cos i said this; you know i'm not the kind who solicits thanks.

@m0han
Thanks for trying the recovery and pointing out the mistakes.
Links are corrected with proper recovery version.
I am just trying to learn things here nothing else so mistakes will happen from my side, i apologize for it.
I am just trying my level best.
The sad part is users only replay when they are not satisfied.
Right now i cant thank u cause my today's quota of thanks is already over.

just go easy on releasing and hard on learning. forget thanking me. :good:.
a couple of suggestions:
1. provide md5 checksums. (i got d9e07dfe97cc26795f1f5f374df89ed0 for the latest one.) would help distinguish the various versions, esp. if there's no change of filename
2. please provide screenshots - at least the ones of the troublesome screens, if not exactly like mine.
"in each update of TWRP there is change in backup folder" - are backup location and usb implementation hard-coded in the recovery? i ask again what i asked here: what could happen if the (rev 2) recovery.img file is placed inside your TWRP_2.8.2.0_Q3000 play.zip file replacing the img file there and flashed? will that give me Q3000 backup folder and the usb otg implementation? . these are noob thoughts, but, i await your answer.

hi @avi3230, i've just sent you a pm. please respond. thanks.. posted in (common) recovery collection thread.

there is a mismatch. which one is the proper fully-working 'TWRP 2.8.4.0 Rev 2'?
@avi3230 / somebody, please confirm which file (img or zip) to use to avoid troubles. thanks.

None of the two files have any trouble.

Using this recovery, it's working fine, thanks ?
