Guys, I need some help, my phone, an ALCATEL OT-918N, got softbricked when I accidentally installed a low version busybox 1.15.?? ? Most features got lost and/or are not working, ie: Screen Lock doesn't function, SIM2 does not respond, Apps are not working properly, Volume Locks-up to Silent mode, etc.
It is already rooted, with a CWM custom recovery installed, but I have lost my recovery file, when It became corrupted. What are my options to fix my phone or restore it's previous functions? Can you give me Step-by-step procedures on how to do so?

You would require the stock ROM and you would need to flash this to your device manualy

If I am unable to enable USB debugging, am I pretty well S-O-L? I can get my phone to boot to android recovery utility, but because I did a factory reset, usb debugging is disabled. I cannot seem to get a custom recovery installed. My friend said that I should be able to download a custom recovery and install it from a zip from the recovery menu; is this possible? I am getting really frustrated because I cannot get my phone up and running again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Backstory:
I rooted my phone with no problems, started messing around with my build.prop to try to run a gameloft game. I made a back up of my original build.prop and stored it on my sd card. I replaced my entire build.prop with one from another phone and rebooted but my phone shows lg logo(at the suggestion of the same friend who has been trying to help), I hear the tracfone sound as if it is booting up, but my screen just remains backlit with no images. I am able to get into android recovery utility as well as the so-called emergency mode. However I cannot get the phone up and running again.
Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. A few days ago I rooted my HTC explorer successfully. Today I (forgot and) reset my phone to factory settings and now it is in continuous boot loop. I tried to rerun the "recovery.bat" instructions and reinstalling "Superuser.zip" but not successful. What should I do now? Installing a custom ROM? Is it possible to resolve this issue by flashing ROM with default firmware? Primarily I rooted my phone for some applications and I assume that installing custom ROMs have some disadvantages too (e.g., CPU load or reduced battery timings maybe). Am I right? Considering my requirements, I don't need a custom ROM that is why I prefer default ROM.
Please suggest some solution and the procedure to follow.
Thank you very much.
Try REBOOT BOOTLOADER
Hi,
I'm new guy too..
The same thing happened to my mobile after installing several apps (now i knew, I should NEVER do that) at once & I was worried just as you did.
My phone continuously restarted & was stuck at the logo
Planned for custom ROM flashing and just before that, eventually gave a try on my own.
Press power+volume down button after switching off.. you'll be directed to new screen with 4 options
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
************ (sorry.. cant remember)
SIMLOCK
Select FASTBOOT and then select "REBOOT BOOTLOADER" when 4 options comes under fastboot menu
Next select POWER DOWN from the same menu..
Now try restarting your phone normally. This could possibly work just as it happened to me. (I was so much relieved after it worked)
P.S: Dont ask me how it would work or why it didn't work.. bcoz as i said, I'm also new to android..
Cheers pal.. :fingers-crossed:

You are not supposed to use the factory reset in settings once you added a recovery. That would be the reason for your boot loop.
Now you may try to reset your phone with option available in recovery. It may help your device but chances are rare.
What i would suggest is to install a custom ROM which suits your needs and give life to your phone.
If you choose the ROM which suits with your usage you will not be having any problem.
Good luck with that
Hi Guys,
Firstly I'm a Noob and just about rooted my phone been working fine for a year but all of a sudden got stuck in boot loop yesterday. It's a Samsung S4, GT-19505.
Hadn't flashed any new stuff to it was just restarting with xposed framework to log into snapchat which I've done 1000 times before.
I can get into CWM based recovery mode but otherwise can't get phone to boot past Samsung screen.
I will just do a factory reset but there are files on the device I really need so was wondering is there any way of accessing these through the recovery mode or something? Or a way of doing a reset so all system files etc are reset but I don't lose my images, audio files etc?
Any help greatly appreciated. Sorry if some of that doesn't make sense or this post is in wrong section! I looked for older threads with an answer first but couldn't find any.
Thanks,
HB

1) doing a factory reset clears data(excluding internal storage),cache,dalvik so it's highly unlikely you would lose any if your files.
2)you can connect your phone to pc via USB ,then enable mtp mode/mount storage in settings and can access your data through PC .
Hi folks,
I'm having some trouble with my OPO. It is not booting and when it does, it gets stuck at the home screen in just a few seconds. Sometimes it restarts/turns off itself.
But what i'm looking for is a way to replace the Cyanogen Recovery that was installed with the ROM to TWRP, because I want to backup some files (I want to be able to have access to the phone's storage via Windows) before wiping my user data/installing new firmware. I already read that I have to uncheck some boxes in the Android settings, but I am NOT able to change any settings inside Android because the phone does not boot.
Is there anyone out here who can help me fix this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
I hope I am in the right forum to post my query. I am trying to find a solution to the existing Problem. Before I get to describe the problem specifically I must make it clear that this is my first time on any android forum. While trying to find a solution for the existing problem, I had to google words like Bootloop, Softbrick, TWRP, Custom Recovery, Root, Flash, ROM etc. They still do not make much sense to me (I will be reading more about them in the coming days). So now you can imagine how big of a Noob I am.
Well, I own a Moto G 1st Gen XT1033. Since yesterday it is in a Bootloop. The phone boots completely at times but automatically restarts itself after a while. Sometimes I have 1-2 minutes at maximum to use the phone. Until now I have been able to delete quite a bit of data for example pictures and certain apps because I thought that Bootloop was happening because of no space on the memory. The last app that I installed 3 days back from Google Play after which this problem started occurring, I was also able to uninstall it. Until now I have tried wiping out Cache by going in the recovery mode but that didnt fix the Reboot problem. I also tried holding the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button for 2 minutes (I read it on internet somewhere as a fix to the problem) but that didnt help either. I have never created a backup and I don't want to do a Factory Reset as a fix to the problem because I don't want to lose the data. I also tried to follow your solution for backing up data but I got lost. I don't know where to start from. Thats why I am writing here.
I don't know if my phone is rooted. I did turn on Developer Mode on my phone in the past (if this info helps).
I do not know which Android version I have but I am guessing that it is Lollipop.
I never installed TWRP or any Custom Recovery software on my phone before.
The battery is working ok.
What I am looking for is:
1) Step by step guide to create a backup
2) Resolving Bootloop issue if possible
Thanks
without custom recovery no data backup is possible.
u need to unlock your bootloader and install The Twrp recovery to perform the backup.
but only fix for you is factory reset.

Thank you @jbanti Apologize for my late response. As far as I know unlocking the bootloader will erase the memory. One can recover data by ADB Pull by using these Threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-1st-gen-xt1033-boot-loop-stock-t3357472 (Post #4)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
So I know that there it is possible using`adb pull` command to take backup of whole device but I don't know how. I get lost in the 2nd thread. Any lead would be appreciated
Thanks
