Hey guys,
given the fact that I'm somewhat of a noob in the android world, then I smh messed up my phone a little. I'm running CM12 lollipop rom by thewhisp, everything works well, but I lost root access and can't get it back. I tried the method I used when I first rooted the phone (http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-express-2-sm-g3815) with Odin, but it does not work anymore and I am lost. The phone still somewhat works, but apps like ROM Manager etc freeze and crash (possibly due to lost root access) and every 15-20 min it reboots randomly. Anyway, while I tried to reroot, it restored the stock recovery and I'm a bit scared to try anything on my own. Ideas?
Try android 5.1 with cm 12.1 by TheWhisp works better

I've been running Jans ported GPE rom on my work I9505.
I chose it as it is so close to stock I could remove root after install to use company email.
However it could be a little more stable. RR's and FC's are taking their toll.
I tried using ART and that bricked the phone so I reinstalled fresh.
Just now I thought I was going through another RR when I was in a hurry to open a page in Chrome and it will no longer boot, just the coloured circles over and over.
Can someone recommend another Rom that's very stock KK that would be ok to run with the phone not rooted?
I am guessing that the more custom Roms would need root access due to the higher functions they support.
Thanks
Vic
These are the forums for the SGH-T959V, a phone that had its last OEM ROM from Gingerbread. You probably want a different section of XDA.

Posted from whatever phone booted today
Ha ha, you're right. I read it as Galaxy S4 4G. I will try again.
As in the title states I have the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and recently I installed CWM and a ROM and everything looked like it went right however after I reloaded my tablet nothing seems different it jus seems to return to stock setting and now I cant do the OTA software update which means now certain apps and games I can no longer uses as it says my device isnt compatible. My goal was to simple update from Jellybean to at Least Kitkat.
Can someone help me. where did I go wrong?

Well after a short research I found a ROM called Resurrection Remix, loaded with 5.0.2 (or Lollipop) however now everything is force closing and I barely got my laptop to see it as MTP again after installing a new Binary (glad that did that trick for that) but I cant get it to boot into CWM Recovery bc I cant access the app the only thing it will let me do right now is change the Binary.
How can I fix this issue?
Edit: Okay so I got that solved with doing a factory reset twice, booted in CWM, loaded up the GApps. Now just wondering if there is away to make it not seen with phone options like the dialer or msgs as its jus a plan old tablet, doesnt take a sim card and has no carrier. I do have the source code but I am not tweaking that til I get a better understanding of it.
After a lot of research and tries (amazingly without bricking) I am now running an even newer version of a CM 13 Marshmellow
Ok, I've been here on XDA for almost a year and until now I haven't had a problem I couldn't handle.
My Galaxy S6 (5.0.2) has been rooted since October 2015, it was May when I decided to Unroot and restore as a normal phone (I use Snapchat quite often and can't be used on a rooted phone). So July 9th, I decided that it was time for me to Root my phone again, and I did. I booted into TWRP and I'm sure everyone knows how long it takes to boot it into Recovery and back into normal mode, so I went deeper and tried switching where the USB is routed (or whatever). I switched it from (Guessing the name) NXT24 to USB-OTG (Which I've used to copy files to and from my laptop to the TWRP Boot which were mainly backups and ZIP Files.
Anyway, I've tried flashing 5.0.2, 5.1.1, and 6.0.2. I've pretty much exhausted all possible fixes and I need help. I've switched to the Moto G4 and Motorola is just... not good.. anyway, I would really appreciate any and all help you provide, thank you!

Stumbled upon this searching another thingy. How are You flashing the ROMs? Used Odin in fastboot with Stock ROM to start over?
Bare with me, I'm a total noob and I hold my hands up, I got a galaxy note 8.0, rooted it fine then I went to install CM 13 for it following partially instructions partially my own knowledge and now it's muffed. No matter how many times I tried it wouldn't work and I was messing around with it all night last night and all day today and in my infinat wisdom I removed all OS from it full stop. I have been sat here for 6 hours trying to put cm on it (tried 11, 12 and 13) tried installing stock marshmallow I downloaded from some site, and even some other ROM I can't remember off the top of my head (the logo is a horse's head or something) and yep nothing what so ever i have tried several different boot thingies like twrp and it always fails when I try to install the ROM, I know I should have backed up and I thought I had using titaniumbackup but that went with the OS. It's currently got twrp on it and I can get into that and connect it Odin (I think that's what it's called) but that's all I can do. Is it fixable or is it scrap? >.<
Update, after putting it down and thinking about it from another perspective I worked out a fix, it's back running 4.4.2 and works fine (on my note I will say the latest update of the Google app causes a problem with the system UI if you have Google now as your launcher) I'll update with full details in the morning in hopes that if anyone else has a similar problem this will help.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Have you tried any of the CM based roms from xda ? You may only need to update your recovery. Both of these should work on your device

Hi Guys,
Hopefully this is in the right section
I have a Note 4 SM-N910G and its just turned absolutely useless since I factory flashed it. I have rooted it before and bricked it and un bricked it before so have some experience with it. I recently wiped my phone and did a firmware restore using Samsung Kies and since I did the phone is absolutely useless. It started out fine for an hour or two and now it lags by like a minute with any action, even trying to bring up the keyboard when typing. It will reset itself, lock itself, crash, just un useable. I've tried reflashing it again stock a couple times and still the same everytime. It went from perfectly fine to dreadful with the original mentioned restore. I did just recently get an error code of "sbl1 partition doesn't exist" in Boot recovery mode.
Does anyone know if this is fixable and not a hardware issue?
Should I try and just root it again and flash a non-oem rom? (I havent had the time to do it recently)
many thanks,
Tekkado
Hi Guys,
Also I should add that when I was rooted the phone was fine but when i went to unroot through super user the phone was still functioning as though rooted and I couldnt download software updates because my device was "modified".
So thats when i just flashed stock firmware and again now flashing through odin aswell it proceeds fine then the device will say installing updates and then give a no command error or seandroid not enforced. Everytime is basically a different message.
How can I just wipe everything and get back to stock?
Thanks
So to add to this is there any relationship between the firmware running and the bootloader? I just realised that before i tried to flash stock firmware i was rooted and didnt un root via superuser because in the past that did jack all.
I flashed dr. ketan rom this morning and the phone was operating as normal very snappy but as soon as i downloaded a new app from the play store (reddit and chrome) again it turned to absolute crap.
Is there a disconnect here that i missing that can be fixed?
Thanks
