Hello Everyone,
I am very new to the android developing and modding but I do have a basic idea of coding and know my way very well around linux. My problem is that I have a Samsung Galaxy E5 series phone (rooted) and I tried editing its build.prop to optimize battery and 3g speeds. I made a noob mistake and did not take any backups. But in my defense I do not have any custom recovery like CWM etc. installed . So a backup would be not much of a help at this time. So now my phone is stuck in the stock recovery mode which has very limited options. I searched on the internet/this forum but could not find any CWM/TWRP recovery for my phone.
I am willing to make my own CWM recovery using source but since i can not switch off the phone (non removable battery) , it is just lying there. And compiling a new recovery would take much longer time for an amateur like me. What I am asking here is , if anyone can help me with my situation by compiling a CWM recovery. I was searching the documentation earlier and I do have recovery.img and boot.img from the stock rom. My android version is Kitkat 4.4.4. Firmware version : E500HXXU1AOB2 but on the recovery it says : KTU84P. E500HXXU1AOA6.
I am so confused. Any help would be appreciated.
To the mods: Sorry if my thread is in the wrong section. Please let me know if I made any mistake.
I don't know about all the rest cause I have limited skills in compiling but hold down power button and keep holding it down and phone should turn off if that's of any help, good luck

Thank you for replying banjomike. I held down power button for almost a minute and during that time the phone kept vibrating every five seconds or so. The phone is stuck at the samsung logo and just won't poweroff. I tried every button combination I could think of. I don't know what the hell kind of phones they make these days.
I am going to download stock firmware and flash it via odin. Lets see if that helps me.

nvflash procedure to fallback on
This guide I collected from somewhere on these great XDA forums and I always, always made sure I created the nvflash backup and stored those files away somewhere safe FIRST before I started tinkering around with my device...usually multiple locations, locally and in cloud...I have those copies but can't share them here because they are locked to my device, are unique and just won't work for any other different device...
Look in the GENERAL section and in the troubleshooting where you have posted...there seems to be quite a few people with similar brick issues in varying degrees...there's a solution somewhere for your unique issue. Download both a 4.2 and a 4.4.2 blob/firmware as a start and learn how to unblob/extract them into their different components...you're gonna need them to get back to stock...all the best

You cannot use NvFlash unless you have already made the NvFlash Backups prior to bricking.
I had put the tablet into root for the remote play app (which is great by the way) once i had it up and running i wanted to see if i unrooted the tablet if the remote play would work. At that time after checking unroot on SU i had restarted the Tablet. Now it goes into Odin Mode and UDC Start. I know somewhere i had to have done something wrong somewhere. Are there any suggestions. Im also having issues finding the stock firmware for this particular tablet. When I try flashing the tablet i get stuck in random places like on aboot.mbn or it will fail or it wont finish initializing. If someone could help it would be greatly appriciated.
make:SM-T330NU
Model: SM-T330NYKAXAR
Fixed it!!!!!
So sometimes the tablet would get stuck in random spots that would freeze up and not allow me to continue flashing the firmware. I found a couple different places that had the same firmware that i needed to use. I also found the firmware by searching what kies was trying to upload on the tablet. So what i had done was allowed the tablet to die completely (since there is no battery to take out and the vol up and the power button was not doing a hard reset). As soon as powered on the tablet i had put it in download mode then bam flashed the firmware and it recovered. Thank you guys with all the extensive knowledge that you post on here i would have never fixed this tablet if you guys hadn't had all the threads on here.

Great, This thread will be closed.
Questions for this device should be asked in Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting .
So the phone is not mine, it's my sister's phone, it is not rooted or anything, just a few days ago it rebooted itself and has been boot looping since, I really don't know what to do to fox it, the only things I thought of doing was to hold the power button and the volume up and down for a few seconds to take me to the recovery mode but it doesn't let me and yes I tried the two combos independently, searching a little I've found a few things, and they are that the phone might be soft bricked, and it tells me to download the android sdk something about cmw recovery but to be honest I'm not familiar with any of those things, any help would be greatly appreciated, I hope the info I provided is enough to get me some help.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Because there hasn't been any modifications done to this device, I would avoid at all costs any custom work (like CWM recovery), because your warranty (if your sister has one) would still be intact. Taking it back to the provider/seller is still an option here.
If you can still access what is called fastboot (if this device does have one, sounds like it does, although I don't know the key combos for that), you should be able to flash the Blu (official) firmware, depending on how they set up their updates, or at least get stock recovery going again. Once again, as long as you don't flash anything custom, you should be able to maintain the warranty status.
Please go ahead and create an XDA account, so you can post in other forums. Then, post in the [GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread thread (or at least) in the > Blu Vivo Air > Vivo Air Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Your device experts can be found there.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
Hello Everybody!
I would like to kindly ask you for some help regarding my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 phone. The phone has been locked in a network and further more, in the last months has experienced the autorestart issue. I have read other threads here (before posting this one) and I have seen that other people experience the phone vibrating and continuing to restart in the first two screens. Also, if battery had been taken out, when putting it back in the phone would restart.
After reading the possible solutions here, I have hoped that installing a new ROM on the phone might solve this problem. I have also installed the CWM-based recovery and I believe I have managed to root it. (I am not an expert, but I have managed to root before two Samsung phones after the instructions given here - everything worked flawlessly).
However, yesterday, after obtaining a successful install screen from the version Inspiration_Rom_V18_Kitkat_Edition.zip downloade from this forum, I am stuck with my phone in the CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.8 screen. I have tried to install other ROM stable versions from the forum but I seem not to be able to get rid of this screen.
Might I want to add that the phone escaped the former rebooting issue, the battery and the power button seem to work fine now. For example I can shut the phone down, I can restart it, if I take the battery out and put it back in, it will not automatically start. Is there still hope? Have i bricked it?
Please advise and excuse me if I have written anything stupid,
Vlad

Thanks so much! Succeeded! I have access to my phone again and it is rooted.
However, I did not get rid of the VODAFONE ROMANIAN NETWORK LOCK.
Can I also do this at home?
Hey, guys. Thank you for your time reading this. Hope you day's going well
So, couldn't find a thread for this device, but I got a Yashica TAB-X109 Android 6 which I managed to brick...
What did I do?
Rooted it using KingRoot
Enabled USB debbuging
Installed TWRP app apk
Naively flashed this image of TWRP custom recovery: https://dl.twrp.me/v500/ (I know, I'm a moron and a total noob)
Now my tablet is stuck on Android logo and can't open recovery mode anymore... It used to boot recovery using Power + Vol UP, but I tried every combination possible and nothing. Also, I scouered the internet for a stock ROM for this device, but not even in this website I can find anything about this brand...
So as of now, I'm holding a piece of garbage which I have no clue what I can do with it. Any ideias you can give me, please?
