[Q] rooted droid maxx boot loops after ota attempt

I have a droid maxx on 12.15.15 update and rooted it using the telnet and adb way. I kept cancelling the last ota update becasue I wanted to make sure root was available. Anyway this morning i aciddently hit install now ;( It didn't install but now its stuck in boot loop. It powers up fine, but after everything loads a bout a minute later it says Power off...Shutting down.. and restarts and keeps boot looping. I've rooted all my other fons, but this is getting tricky. How can I fix this?? I don't mind installing ota if there is root availalble, but I just need my fon fixed! I'm on vacation 1400mi from home, but fortunately I have my old fon along. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You are bootlooping because the root method used on this phone removes the stock recovery, thus the phone keeps trying, and failing, to install the update. As far as I'm aware the only way you can get out of the bootloop is to boot into fastboot and re-flash stock 12.15.15 (luckily because the 4.4 update has not installed on your device you will be able to keep your lower firmware, and thus re-root). However I am not 100% sure this is the only solution, and this would wipe your phone as well. I recommend waiting for more responses or looking around for a possible other solution if you prefer to try to not wipe your phone....

I haven't had time to look around and find the thread, but I was able to find a thread that allowed me to FXZ using fastboot to restore 12.15.15 and restore everything, leaving your data intact. Worked like a charm when I was stuck in the bootloop. So, it's doable.

@droidrepair do you have titanium back up installed and are you booting into the os even if momentarily?

Bump, this problem is an exact replica of what I am currently experiencing. You do get to boot into the OS for a little while, but after about (maybe) 1/2 a minute, it says powering off and reboots.

Yes, but it was only to delete bloatware, there is no actual backup of what's on my phone. Additionally, I don't really care about recovering lost data, I just want to bring my phone to a working state.

That's ok. When you get to your os quickly go into titanium back find apk MotorolaOTA and freeze it. That should stop your bootloop. If it doesn't you may need to freeze an app called updater. Lemme know how it works out.

I don't have the donate version of Titanium Backup, so I can't freeze things. Should I uninstall OTA?

I don't have time to uninstall, but I was able to get a telnet connection which I can use to find the process to kill (the update process), but I don't have permission to actually do so.

Ok i used houseofmoto 2 and fastboot and so far seems to be working fine! Thanks SamuraiHL and all!
Now i don't have root tho. I assume i'll be able to re root using telnet, etc? Or should i install ota and then root, or is that not possible yet?

Don't take 4.4 OTA as there is no way to root it. You need to start the process on rooted 4.2.2 using the slapmymoto process nicely outlined here.

That's correct. You have 4.2.2 rooted now you can move on to start the rooting process for 4.4.

Restore stock recovery / unroot without restore

Good Evening,
AT&T LG G2 rooted, TWRP. Have installed a few different roms but mostly used PA. All of a sudden the phone started experiencing issues with cell Data. So I did a clean install of PA and then had issues with BT, did another clean install and had issues with Wifi.
So I decided ok maybe its time to go back to stock. Hook it up to a win7 computer... Device manager doesn't see it at all (doesn't show up AT ALL). Says charging and that is it, does not recognize that it is hooked up to a computer. Have tried several different computers now and several different USB cables. The only way I could try other roms was downloading via wifi. Tried a stock rom and still experiencing issues.
I think there is something wrong with the phone so I want to get it warrantied, but without hooking it up to a computer I can not figure out any way to remove the custom recovery or revert it to stock.No matter what I do no computer will even recognize the phone is connected, let alone trying to install drivers. Device manager just straight up does not see it.
Any help or suggestions is GREATLY appreciated. Any way to remove recovery/root without a PC connection?
UPDATE: Here was my solution
Took some work but I figured out a way to do it in case anyone else ever runs in to this:
(make sure you are stock rom or on a stock rooted rom before proceeding)
First download the stock recovery.img on the device.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...10B_Partitions
Then download/open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
Then
cd /sdcard/downloads
Then
dd if=/sdcard/downloads/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
That replaces TWRP/CWM with the stock recovery.
Then open supersu, go to settings, towards the bottom is full unroot.
Yay no more custom recovery or root on stock rom.

If you are planning on getting warranty you need to use download mode and the back to stock guide also that is the best way to flash to stock and get rid of problems

Agreed, problem is the computer will not see the phone, so I can't use the program to flash it back to stock.
It's not just a driver or com issue, the computer does not see it AT ALL. Device manager doesn't see a new device when I plug it in (in OS, in Download mode, nothing).

Have you tried different usb ports also very important are you using original cable that came with the phone in my case if I try many of the different cables I have, only the stock one works for download mode

Different usb ports, different computers, different cables (stock one included). No luck. Phone says download mode then goes to "firmware update" and says at the bottom B53 then "ROOTED" in red letters. Nothing appears in device manager.
In android regarless of rom if I plug it in it doesn't act like I plugged it in to a computer, just charging. Again nothing in device manager regardless of USB debugging or not.
currently have twrp 2.6.3.3, running D80210b 4.2.2, with baseband M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034

What I really need to know is if there is any way to restore stock recovery and remove root without using that method (ie using Terminal Commands or flashing a package, since I can download via wifi).
I am pretty sure this phone has a messed up USB port, but I don't really want to send it in with it rooted/twrp on it .

Did you try restore & reset functionality on the phone? I had somewhat similar issue with the plug & pop feature (although my laptop recognized the phone under Devices & Printer but it didn't show it as a separate drive) when I flashed CM11 but then I did a full factory reset, everything goes back to normal. Also you might try uninstall LG driver and reinstall it. Hope this help.

Unfortunately it is not a driver issue, it doesn't show up in device manager at all, on several machines.
I have tried multiple different roms, factory rests, even tried ADB sideloading, no luck.

i remember there's this app called Auto Rec that has an option to unroot the device or something like that.

Took some work but I figured out a way to do it in case anyone else ever runs in to this:
First download the stock recovery.img on the device.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/10B_Partitions
Then download/open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
Then

That replaces TWRP/CWM with the stock recovery.
Then open supersu, go to settings, towards the bottom is full unroot.
Yay no more custom recovery or root on stock rom. (this was after flashing a rooted stock rom by downloading it on the device itself since I had no USB).

It worked perfectly and I got the phone exchanged without any hassle, but if your USB is working there are plenty of better ways to return to stock. This was an option I had to use because of USB not functioning. I mean this would allow you to unroot without wiping/restoring but if your going to send the phone in anyway you might as well wipe it as well.

I am a bit afraid of the other methods I saw and this one seems easier
I have a question if you can answer to me.
I restored the official rom from TWRP and did all the process you wrote. Is there any way to check if now I have the stock recovery?
And to see if I am now ready to send my phone to LG?
P.S. "I will hit the thanks button tomorrow because I have reached the limit of 8 thanks per day "

Just reboot to recovery, you should get the stock LG recovery instead of TWRP. If you unrooted as well, you are good go. Glad I could help! No worries on the thanks .

So I have to congratulate and thank once more this man @crawlgsx for this great thread.
It worked on my D802 (international model) and got it repaired by the official service center of LG in Greece.
Great work, with no need of PC and difficult processes.

Noob question, but will this allow users to take OTA updates? Running stock rooted right now and really don't want revert to stock to get latest ota, but this seems pretty seamless. Thanks.

I believe that in order to take OTAs you must be on stock rom and stock recovery. Be rooted will not be a problem if you have these stock but when OTA installed you will lose root access.
If I am wrong, correct me someone.

Hi
Sorry to bump this thread but I need to unroot my AT&T G2 800 so get the warranty.. I had taken the stock backup using twrp.
Can I restore the restore it using twrp ? and do i need to install Terminal emulator on my restored stock rom and then do the commands ?
Are there any chances of bricking the phone ?

[Q] ROM for Galaxy S3

Hello guys. I have a Galaxy S3 (Verizon). Specifically, a SCH-I535. It is running Android 4.3. It has been rooted before, when it had 4.2, but after I did the update, I still have the SU app, but I can't use it because im not rooted. (I think) So hypothetically, say I wanted to install CyanogenMod. Could I? If so, what version? I have Android 4.3. Is it still possible to root? Thanks for any help.

You can root 4.3 using saferoot, but you cannot flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP based ROMs. You can only flash 4.3 Touchwiz ROMs using safestrap. You need to be on the ML1 version of 4.3, not the NC1 version. Everything you need to know can be found in the below linked thread:

Go to your about phone screen and look at your baseband version and build number and see what the last 3 characters are. And your warranty is only good for 1 year from the original date of purchase, which I would assume has long since passed. So I wouldn't worry about this voiding your warranty.

Check out my first response to you in this thread. You cannot install any kind of custom recovery on ML1. Safestrap is basically your custom recovery.

Ok, so basically I installed Safestrap, Rooted, and all was well. Then I went and looked for some custom Touchwiz ROMs, and found this one.
CoolROM 8 Core Edition
I downloaded it, created a new ROM slot on Safestrap, flashed it to the phone with safestrap, then rebooted. First off, the Samsung logo that appears right when you turn on, with the open padlock, is gone. For a split second, a white line appears. Then it goes to the Safestrap, I hit continue, it does first boot like normal, and gets stuck on the samsung logo again. "The last one before android appears". I pulled battery, rebooted. Same as first time, except it booted into android. The setup appears, and now another problem pops up. I cant turn on WiFi. It says turned off, I press the toggle button, but it doesnt turn to the ON state. Please help! I really want to use CleanROM!

Look in the OP of the safestrap thread. Every time you flash a ROM though safestrap you have to also flash the kernel modules in the same flashing session in order for WiFi to work.

Omg thank you so much landshark,you have helped me so much. I now have a rooted S3 with Safestrap, and CleanROM 8.1. Everything is working fine. Now my final question(probably not), is there any possible way at all to unlock the bootloader on this thing? If not, is there anyone working on something like that? If not at all, that's ok. Im still satisfied with it so far. Thanks again. Also, on Safestrap, after I hit continue it has a kind of delay before the boot animation is shown(AKA it starts up). Is there any way to change this?

Not possible at all to unlock the bootloader, you are stuck with it. As far as I know, no one is working on trying to figure out a way to unlock the bootloader. All attempts at finding an exploit to unlock the bootloader have not had any success. The bootloader on the S4 was locked down in the same way before the S3, and that hasn't been cracked yet either.
As far as changing the delay on start up with safestrap, best to ask that question in the safestrap thread as I have never used safestrap and just read the thread to stay informed.

[Q] Help Please!

So I have a VZW S3 on NE1 rooted and running xposed. I am not sure what module it was that I installed but my phone is now stuck with the SystemUI constantly crashing to the point of me being unable to use the phone. Then I, like a moron, Unrooted my phone thinking that would stop the issue. It didn't. I do have usb debugging enabled and my phone connects to the computer. Can I just boot into recovery and use the Xposed-disabler-recovery zip to fix this? will that wreck my phone since VZW is so annoying? Would that wipe my memory? And if that doesn't work what else could I do except pull everything I can off my phone and and reflash the entire thing using Odin?
Thanks a million!

Sigh that's what I was afraid of. Oh well I'll get going on pulling all of my files off. Thanks so much for all your help.

Xiaomi M11 Ultra, Cannot restore. TWRP?

Ok here we go. I bought this new. I did a deleted Magisk which I should of not done. Somehow the root is screwed up. I am trying to get in the phone to restore it to like I bought it. There was an issue when I bought it with Magisk. Something about it needed to be an app. Anyway, When I do a reboot I have a choice of Reboot, Recovery, Soft Reboot , Bootloader. I want to flash a rom again and fix the Magisk so it has no errors. I have read and tried the different way to do this. I installed TWRP but cannot get it to come up on a boot because there is no home button on my phone. Any suggestions?

You can start from scratch and install the official ROM that's supposed to be on your phone via miflash
Then you can start fresh on ROM of your choice and clean install of twrp and magisk etc

U shouldn't do what u dont really know from beginning
Way to fix your problem: download miflash and fastboot rom file to flash it to stock rom (any region u want because of unlocked bootloader)

I was wanting to unroot the phone and it was supposed to unroot it when you uninstall Magisk. There already was an issue with Magisk from the start wanting it to be an app instead of a system app. Things went down from there. I have fastboot, recovery on it now. Just want to be able to download some apps that won't install because of root detection. Now I have a corrupted root thanks to Magisk.

You don't sound like you have put in much effort tbh
You should read more and watch some of those video tutorials before doing things that break your phone

The phone is not bricked. I cannot find the firmware for this phone. Weird. I have looked a a lot of firmware and cannot find one for this phone. it says M11 Ultra and Redmi Note 2 (hermes) the Android OS is 10 but the hermes I see are 5.0. Too old os. I do watch the videos. When I got this phone it already was not right with the rooting it came with. I did not want rooting because I cannot download certain apps I use. I went through the steps to delete root through deleting Magisk but from there it went to ****. The phone works. But there is corrupted root and fastboot keeps tapping out when I boot to it. Also Magisk was updated to 23.1 at the start and there was a conflict with that. Had I known this phone was rooted I would of never bought it. Also not sure if bootloader is open. My PC sees it just fine communicating with the phone through a program I have not figure out. What I have tried does not work. I don't need an ass chewing here. I just asked for some help. Thanks

Yes I have put effort for a week now. I assume I need the fastboot rom to get this. I cannot get TWRP to even come up on the phone. Fastboot always does.

Check and make sure "USB Debugging" is on under Developer Options. Once this done, from the command prompt, execute "adb reboot recovery". This will take you to recovery (TWRP in your case).

When you get to Setting, in the search bar type "OEM" and it will list "OEM Unlocking" in the search result. Clicking on this should help you get to OEM Unlocking option.

How much did you pay for it?
It cannot be a Redmi note 2 and a mi 11 ultra at the same time....
It sounds like the other said, a fake phone

The phone works fine but its rooted and I don't want root. This all started because I followed what it said about removing root. Just do it through Magisk. That did NOT work. From there corrupt root. As for phone It works. But I cannot use my banking and investment apps on a rooted phone. That is the problem.

confirmed
/btw: M11 not Mi 11 rofl

MTK6595, not much hope of resolving this without getting hold of seller and finding out the ROM producer and probably flashing again on a formatted system ( there are so many but a search on a browser may help). Flashing MTK systems are not hard, just need the correct ROM and leave it unrooted using SP flash tools. There are plenty of rooting bids for mtk's, so may be you can unroot too using the guides from a browser search. Unless you can return as an item not as described for a refund.
