Before you start any actions to modify the phone, you should get it repaired by the vendor. Its not even a year since the model was released, so you should have still guarantee on it.

Bump! unlock your bootloader, then you will be able flashing roms via recovery. BUT its really risky if your phone has no working USB port as you cant flash the stock firware if something goes wrong.

[Q] Is it Possible to root from the device itself? (p5113)

I tried rooting a friends tablet to change the rom but the problem is when i connect the usb cable it wont pick it up as a device so odin doesn't see anything and we tried for like 2 hours and nothing, and at the moment he cant buy another cable so i was wondering if its possible to root the device within the device so i can change the rom?
thanks in advance!

I believe this is the video I saw when I rooted my 3113.
I have rooted and installed twrp without a PC just after you follow the video disable the Chinese super su app that gets installed and get super su from the play store

When a newb fails, bricked s6(SOLVED)

So, i was trying to flash a ROM after i got my recovery and root going on, i wiped EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE recovery file i made and the installation file i got in the phone when i went to wipe the system files and attempt to install the ROM. So, i tried to put the ROM files into my phone via the ADB method. It worked but my ROM didn't and now my S6 is in a boot loop. i have tired Odin, smartwatch and kies. On kies and smart watch, they both said the attempt to install stock ROM failed and attempt a emergency recovery. HOWEVER, both software did not recognize my device in the emergency recovery devices list, nor did it recognize it as a compatible device in the 1st place, i tired to reinstall the drivers and the software themselves but nothing worked. For Odin, it keeps on saying fail to flash as well, it usually stuck on the 'nano write' process or 'setting up connection' process for a long time too! I did download the official Samsung firmware and extracted it, put it into the blank next to the 'AP' button in odin and i got 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' checked off. On the phone, i can boot in to download mode and download mode only, now it shows me a triangle and it says that stock firmware flash failed and use emergency recovery. i actually download a custom recovery and for some reason it wont boot into that.
Model number: SM-G920W8
carrier: fido
If any of you pros got any ideas please share with me, i've been trying to fix this problem for about a day and a night.

about roms, i still got 5.1.1 so if i want to install a rom, does it matter? or is it just about finding the 1 for your model. i want to install XtreStoLite but some versions have android 6.0 in the title and some have 5.1.1, and why don't posts about roms have any comments?

Need help

So after flashing my D850 from 4.4.2 to 7.0, I cannot access TWRP recovery. Ever since I flashed the rom, I keep getting these 3 errors:
"boot certification verify
secure booting error
cause:boot certification verify".
I can still boot into 7.0, but it's not fully functional. It's missing apps, functions, keeps crashing, etc.
Any suggestions to fixing this?

Only solution is to flash back to stock. CM normally seems to loose access to twrp. Not sure if there's a simple way of getting it back but normally all I know is flashing back to stock

You would follow the tot method, and be sure to choose board_dl when you choose the tot and dll file in the software

So your using a USB 2.0 only port right when trying to put the device into download mode?
I still dont understand why your saying it wont allow you to change the port settings? I've never ever seen this. If the port is there you can change it. Remmeber your phone HAS to be in download mode for the com port to show up to change it to com41. Why not try LGUP?

HELP!!!!!! Locked bootloader after flashing a kernel and it doesn't want to boot

Hi guys
As you probably know by reading the title, i completely messed up. I was on the stock google factory image and decided to flash a custom kernel. I enabled usb debuging and oem unlock. after having unlocked the bootloader, I installed the twrp boot img and then flashed the kernel. All was well when i stupidly decided to lock my bootloader. Things crashed and now when i try to boot into my phone, the google logo appears and 1 seconds later crashes keeps doing it until i turn my phone off. My bootloader is locked and i think usb debuging and oem unlock are also disabled.
The same thing happens when i try to go to the recovery, it just crashes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. thank you !!

I don't believe so since you're not the original owner. However, it doesn't hurt to try.
If you bl locked the phone w modified software ur boned. I believe that RMA availability is transferrable from owner to owner, however, I also believe that they will refuse to RMA a phone which technically broke because AVB is doing its job properly. You can try but I'd say your chances are slim. Sorry mate. Also future reference: if you don't have any reason in particular to relock your phone, just don't. You'll save yourself the hassle of having to do it again and it wiping the phone everytime any software thing goes wrong or anytime u want to upgrade custom ROM or kernel or anything of the sort. This goes for any phone not just those with android verified boot.

Yes they will know but they have proprietary software to forcefully unlock/reformat the phone properly if they so choose to actually accept the phone

This is what I would do. Gets you back to complete stock 9.5.something, bootloader locked and everything. So you can start fresh. I've used it multiple times in 7pro and 6t. Works great.
