Hello everyone,
This is my first ever post on XDA and I came here out of desperation.
Today I had rooted my galaxy s5 without any problems. Then I wanted to back my ROM up by using CWM.
I opened up CWM, backed my ROM up and rebooted my phone. This is where it all stopped working.
Homescreen didn't show up. All I'm seeing now when I power up my phone is "settings has stopped working".
Sometimes it shows something else and I just tap ok and another app would show up that ''has stopped working''.
I don't know what to do. I don't care about doing a factory reset. I just want to get some of my files back.
Forgive my extreme lack of knowledge.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately, the s5 has a locked bootloader and you can't flash cwm on it. I would suggest you follow this to get your device running again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51494717. Then look in the gs5 forum, general, and q&a, for further information. It's always good to do a lot our reading about your device before you do anything with it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5 Start with the stickied threads

I've been searching for a solution for almost one month but couldn't find one so far. While I've created a thread in Help & Troubleshooting section of the forum but no reply so far. Please Guide.
I rooted my AT&T Infuse 4G using framaroot v. 1.5.3, it was rooted well and worked fine. Then I installed an android app 3c Toolbox Pro and happened to apply preset settings in build control section of the application (build.prop). After then my Phone shows Samsung logo and when sound is played it doesn't show anything and crashes to reboot.
It's charging well, and also booting to Samsung Official Recovery.
Is there any way to recover the device while the USB port is damaged and I can't connect to pc. Please Help to recover....
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. To recover your phone you are going to need Odin. See if this will work for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607788

Hey guys!
I have a huge problem with my Wiko Rainbow. Several months ago I waanted to flash a cfw, ending up in having no IMEI... I've tried so many different possible solutions, but today I can't remember which of those had fixed the problem.
For months there were no issues with the phone at all, but yesterday after booting there was a pop-up saying "System-UI crashed". It opened over and over again when I closed it and there was no way to browse to Xposed-Settings (I believe that one of the plug-ins had forced the issue), so my first thought was to wipe all to factory settings. But doing so caused the missing IMEI-problem again. Because I couldn't remember wich solution worked for me in the past, I stupidly downloaded some IMEI backup files and restored them, thinking to edit an existing IMEI is easier than write a new one, but this led to my situation now: the phone doesn't boot anymore, it keeps stuck in the WIKO-logo screen forever. Wiping data via recovery menu doesn't work, and the phone isn't recognized by my pc anymore, so I'm not able to flash a different rom or use the WIKO Updating Tool anymore...
So PLEASE help me bringing my phone to life again! I really don't know what to do know! Is it possible to fix my mistake? Or is it bricked for good??
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I think your only hope is to flash the stock firmware, which it sounds like you've already tried. Although this isn't the best thread to post in, but it's the best I can find, see if somkerman can help you here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/tutorial-t3070293/page2

I recently bought an unlocked att htc one m7 and am currently using it on tmobile. After messing with the apn settings i got all the data and mms working, but i still cant figure out how to upgrade it. I downloaded the RUU from htc and tried running that but whenever it starts up the bootloader i will get an error and it will say usb malfunction and then nothing. I also tried to load the rom itself onto the phones root, but when i boot in recovery mode i will select to flash from internal and it will quickly load a few short lines of code that go too fast to read (i think it says failed) and then reboot instantly. Ive been at this for hours and cant find this particular problem anywhere. If anyone can help me, i just want the normal unmodded updates without unlocking my bootloader or turning s-off. Im running android 4.1.2 currently

Hello Thank you for using XDA Assist
It seems like you have an issue here with three different devices.
Please have you searched for each device specific forum through XDA?

My phone is Samsung s3 mini. It is rooted. And recently, I installed a custom rom to it so that it will be upgraded customly to lollipop. AND after that, it seemed to be working fine. But, I realized that there was no Play services. And it had a lots and lots of problem after that. I decided to factory reset it. And it rebooted, normally. And the next it showed me is my TWRP recovery. Just keep showing "TEAM WIN" and just keeps the screen blinking. WHAT DO I DO? I AM SO DOOMED. PLEASE HELP ME. I THINK IT IS SOMEHOW BRICKED
